After the immortal disappeared

This majestic and solemn gatehouse does not look like it was built in a hurry. Gu Xuan applauded repeatedly: "Awesome! My king really has a good vision. This big project was not entrusted to the wrong person."

The soul-capturing mirror in He Lingchuan's arms snorted: "Flattery!"

To be able to become an official franchise, this guy is indeed very talented.

Everyone clapped along and wondered how He Lingchuan did it. But He Lingchuan only said that the skilled craftsmen sent by the king were too good.

As he spoke, he stood on the inside of the gatehouse, where there was an entire stone wall covered with red cloth.

The so-called unveiling ceremony meant that he, You Rongzhi and several other senior officials and prominent families, took off the red cloth.

The cloth falls, revealing the painted wall underneath.

The gate tower is nine feet wide, and the matching wall painting is also six feet wide. This is no longer pangolin or blue ashlar, but a large piece of raw jadeite. The stone skin is dark brown mixed with gray and white, and is rough and uneven. In some places, quartz clusters have grown out.

Its overall shape is like a giant whale covered with barnacles lying on the bottom of the sea.

There are many windows on the original stone, revealing the crystal clear, jelly-like jade inside!

When the sun shines in, it's like there's an endless sea of ​​green hidden in the window, which is mysterious no matter how you look at it.

This kind of green is bottomless, making people worry that lake or sea monsters will rush out from underneath at any time.

Jing Yuanxun couldn't help but applaud: "Okay, okay, Brother He, you are so lazy and lazy."

Who paints walls without buying large pieces of jade and carving them carefully?

He Lingchuan directly bought a large piece of raw jadeite. As long as the shape was good, and then he polished the bright window, the color, gradation, and brightness would be perfect.

This kind of simple beauty becomes more and more attractive the more you look at it.

The key is to save trouble.

And it lies in a good position and is exposed to sunlight all day long.

He Lingchuan laughed loudly: "The king asked me to build the gate tower within seven days! Alas, time is tight and the task is heavy, so I can only make haste."

Everyone refused to give in, but they heard him say again: "I bought this with the money I earned on the day of the birthday ceremony."

Yao Wang Shoudian, he won several bets, especially his battle with He Yang, which netted him a lot of money.

It just so happened that the Chibao Sale started selling this huge jadeite stone again. No one was interested in it because it was too big. It had already been rejected twice and the price had dropped again and again. He Lingchuan had an idea and simply bought it to use as a wall painting for the main entrance of the garden.

It took six yellow turban warriors just to transport and secure this big treasure to the low hill.

When everyone walked around the wall and passed through the gate, they were all stunned and couldn't help but burst into laughter:

There is nothing behind the door.

Such a majestic, imposing, eye-catching and scary gate, but behind the painted wall is empty, with nothing covered.

There was no time at all.

Only two sections of the road leading to other parts of the garden have been paved. Where springs and ponds were supposed to be in the future, they are still mud pits. The newly arrived seedlings were put aside without time to plant.

There are stones, wood, and debris everywhere. Except for the newly paved roads, there is no way to get on.

The craftsmen were so busy and clanking that they didn't even bother to look up at them.

He Lingchuan sighed: "What a joke, the time is really too short."

Everyone is understanding and considerate.

It has only been more than half a month since the land parcel was approved for Youhu Villa, and there were still obstacles in the process from the construction office.

Besides, the officials and nobles present today all have gardens at home, and they know that the construction of garden scenery and pavilions and terraces is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some families even take several years to repair them.

Everyone was deeply shocked that He Xiao was able to build the gate tower first and built it so grandly.

This also gives everyone confidence that the monastery in the villa should be just around the corner.

Look at that glorious and majestic door! Look at those golden gate stones given by the emperor! This is an important project instructed and endorsed by King Yao, and the whole process is protected by the prestige of the royal family.

Everyone's hearts suddenly felt stable and at ease.

Besides, this large, messy and noisy construction site is right opposite Huajia Island. Qingyang Supervisor can see it every day. How troublesome!

Then, He Lingchuan invited everyone to move to visit the lakeside monastery reserved by Prince Qing's Mansion.

Time is still short, so the monastery must not have been built well, but the basic framework has been set up. He Lingchuan explained to everyone one by one, including the layout, material selection, ingredients, decorations... very detailed and serious.

The telescope in his arms chuckled: "Look at this cake, it's big and round."

After walking half a circle around the monastery, you will reach the shore of the lake.

Youhu Villa diverts lake water into the garden. The monastery in Qingwang Mansion is only ten feet away from the water. Standing on the second floor, you can overlook the lush island opposite.

Huajia Island.

A corner of the island's buildings is often exposed. From everyone's perspective, there are also green guards patrolling back and forth.

"The view of Huajia Island from here is really clear!" He had a very good eyesight and could see a tea bowl on the table in the small building opposite, and he could clearly see the sparrow beak handle on the bowl lid.

I don’t know who said: “Hey, it’s pink.”

The color of the tea bowl is pink and the glaze is clear. No need to guess, its owner is Qingyang Supervisor.

If you hadn't come here today, who would have known that the resolute Supervisor Guo used a pink tea bowl?

The two sides are so close that there is no privacy.

Of course, this is the reason why Prince Qing’s Mansion bought the first row of monasteries near the lake:

Its mission is to make the supervising country uncomfortable.

The progress of the Qingwang Mansion is less than one-fifth, but the prototype and framework have been established. Not to mention its political function, it is quite good as a luxury house for suburban vacation.

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "When Youhu Villa is built, everyone present will be neighbors."

When everyone heard it, they all laughed.

But as they laughed, they felt that this sentence had a deeper meaning.

Yes, Youhu Villa also has a strong social function. From now on, this will be the base of the royalist party. If you want to discuss something, you just need to gather for a meeting, and you don’t even have to go out of the villa.

Then on the other hand, how much first-hand information will the officials and nobles who don’t live here miss?

Because there is a big boss on the other side, the people living in this villa are united and exclusive both geographically and psychologically.

It’s terrifying to think about it, terrifying.

Seeing the guests in deep thought, He Lingchuan clapped his hands and said, "You gentlemen, you have come to the countryside. It is not easy to travel so far. Please have a simple meal at our "Xiankelai" at noon."

It would be very rude to let the guests go back hungry. After all these officials came, he should try to keep them for a while.

There are still a few good plots of land that have not been dug up in Youhu Villa, all by the lake, with green willows and flowers. He Lingchuan asked the head of the team to quickly build a two-story bamboo and wood restaurant here, called "Xiankelai", to entertain foreign guests.
