Chapter 169: Suspicion in Dongshanzhuang (3)

After about two incense sticks, the group arrived at the entrance of Zhuangzi. After coming up from the mountain road, the scene in front of him was suddenly enlightened. The platform in front of the door was extremely wide, and there were still lanterns hanging around. The two stone lion sculptures on the front of the door were indeed extremely exquisite, lifelike, as if they were alive, extremely majestic. The surrounding red walls are overturned by a hundred pheasants, and the gate is extremely majestic. The three gold-plated characters "Dongshan Villa" are written on the plaque of the gate, and the two vermilion-lacquered doors are full of luxury.

Chen Bing looked at it and was amazed, thinking, "This villa in Fan Deguang is so luxurious and grand. I really don't know what kind of scene will be in the Fan family's mansion when he arrives in Wujiang." Chen Bing felt in his heart. When he turned around, he saw the mountain road he had just walked, winding to the pier by the lake against the backdrop of two rows of lanterns on the road, like a dragon swimming in the lake sea, which was extremely spectacular.

She turned around and said to Liu Zhiyuan: "Knowledge, this Zhuangzi is really big."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "No, it's not easy to buy the Dongshan Island on Taihu Lake. Now, looking at the appearance of this farm, the high walls and deep courtyards, and not the inside, I know it's extremely luxurious. It seems that the business of the Fan family has done very well over the years."

Chen Bing shook his head and thought to himself: "The Fan family is just a merchant family, and its pomp is so extravagant and grand. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of scene will be like for the officials of the Great Chu court who sucked the wealth of the people. Alas, it is still the people of the world who are suffering."

The group stepped through the gate of the courtyard and passed a huge screen wall. Behind the screen wall, the atrium of the courtyard was not an ordinary courtyard. What caught my eye was a lotus pond. There were also lake lights on the pond, which was very interesting, and some osmanthus trees and crabapples were planted occasionally. The pond was divided into three parts, left, middle and right, each with a nine-curved stone bridge. The stone bridge in the middle leads to the main hall, and the left and right stone bridges lead to the East and West Gardens. At the end of the right stone bridge, there is another rockery with rugged rockery. The moss is spotted and vines are hidden. At the highest point, a clear stream flows out from the upper. Although I don’t know where the source is, I can also see the ingenious conception when it was built. A bamboo pavilion was built on the rockery, and the pavilion was built with a gurgling clear spring. This rockery is much higher than the house on this farm, as if it was a place where you climb high and look far away from the farm.

Chen Bing was frightened by the previous scene and said, "Hey, know how to do it, this Zhuangzi is as you expected, it is so luxurious." But Li Yunniang behind her opened her eyes. She pulled Sun Qiniang, and after she came east and looked west, feeling very strange about everything about this Zhuangzi.

Liu Zhiyuan said, "From this layout, there should be many houses in this village, and the garden behind is probably bigger than the atrium. What does he have to live in such a large village alone? Is it already married? But it is really inconvenient to live on this Dongshan Island. It takes more than 60 miles to travel between Huzhou and Guangshui Road."

Chen Bing nodded, pursed his lips and smiled, "Therefore, there is that luxurious flower boat. For more than 60 miles, with his wealth, he naturally needs to sit comfortably. However, it is also good to have such a big boat. Taihu Lake also connects to Wujiang. Even if you go to Suzhou, Wuxi and Yixing, it is much easier and faster than taking the land route."

While they were chatting and laughing, they went up to the Jiuqu Bridge in the middle. Although the lotus leaves in the pond had turned yellow and wilted, the lake lamps that were lit up and down in the microwaved pool were very dazzling. There was still a lot of snow on the bridge deck, and the stone slabs on the bridge deck were very narrow. Liu Zhiyuan held Chen Bing's hand tightly and held it close to him, fearing that she would slip and fall and hurt. Although both of them did not speak at this time, Chen Bing still felt Liu Zhiyuan's caring for him. Her heart warmed and her face became a little hot.

Fan Huida thought that the young man was too brave now. Without the order of his parents, the matchmaker would dare to say his beloved easily. He would probably suffer a lot in the future. Thinking of this, he was about to give a word to teach him, but suddenly felt like a big rock was blocking his heart, and he couldn't breathe. He kept coughing heavily, and finally coughing out the mouth of evil phlegm in his chest. He suddenly felt much more comfortable, but because the cough was too violent, he was the whole person.

He was a little dizzy and extremely uncomfortable. He waved his hand and said to Han, "I'm not very comfortable, please help me back to your room to rest quickly." After saying that, he said to Liu Zhiyuan, "Nephew Liu, I'm sorry, I'm older, and my body is not as good as before. I won't talk to you anymore. Let Deguang sit with you and have some snacks." After saying that, he bowed to everyone, Han helped him and led Fan Decheng back to the back hall to rest...c

When the three of them walked out, Liu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to Fan Deguang with a smile: "Brother Lu Ming, when did your father reopen? Look at the age of that child, my father should still be there when the string was reopened, why didn't he know the Liu family?" Chen Bing was also a little curious about this, so he listened carefully.

Fan Deguang sighed and said, "Ten years ago, I was taken back to Wujiang by my father. At that time, he was not in a row. He treated me very well. He taught me a lot and gave me many opportunities to do things alone. He was still very good at me. He treated me very well, and regarded me as my legitimate son, not the wild son born in the outer room. After about three years, he seemed to be unable to stand the loneliness, and was picked up by the Han family and married Han Xiaoshuang, the third wife of the Han family. Han Xiaoshuang is also very successful. He gave birth to a daughter for his father just one year after the family. Dad was extremely happy and seemed to be inspired by this matter. My Fan family's business is becoming more and more smooth, and the business is doing better. Dad continued to work hard, giving birth to a son and a daughter one after another. Oh, that son is what you saw today. Ha, now the Fan family is also considered a family member Ding Xingwang.

Yes, this sister and younger brother are both very smart people, and I, as my brother, am really happy. As for why I didn’t inform the people in Huating, it’s still not very glorious. My father is old and married a 20-year-old lady to re-string the strings. He was afraid of being pointed at by others when he was spread. You know, my father is a good-looking person, so he didn’t say anything about this except Wujiang, but other places.”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "It's true that God has given you a kindness to the Fan family. Now that the population is prosperous, it can be regarded as fulfilling your father's wish."

Fan Deguang smiled bitterly and said, "In terms of prosperity, how can my Fan family be compared to your Liu family? Your father has eight brothers alone, and there are countless brothers and sisters of the same generation as you. In my opinion, your Liu family will definitely not be worse than the Li family in the future. Then Li Wenjun..."
