Helplessly, the flowers fall away, and the swallows return as if they were familiar.

Yan Guihui was Qin Muchu. He didn't know why, but he said this name casually. Perhaps, in his subconscious, he had not completely forgotten the people and things in the past.

Qin Muchu came to Suzhou secretly a few days ago and lived in a green willow shop. But how to go to Zhengyuan to find people, he had no good way. If he went to Zhengyuan to ask for people blatantly, let alone

Zheng Yuan refused, and even if he found people, Qin Muchu would not be able to prove what they had done.

Qin Muchu once thought about sneaking into Zheng Yuan secretly. With his skills, no one would notice him. But if he found the man, he might not be able to find what he wanted.

Finally, Qin Muchu thought of a feasible method, which was to enter Zheng Garden with another identity, slowly investigate and collect evidence. As for the identity that could enter Zheng Garden, apart from the owner of Zheng Garden, the only ones who could enter Zheng Garden were servants and the like.

. And Qin Muchu had already gotten the basic information about Zheng Yuan from many people's mouths. He lamented the changes in Zheng Yi. Although he was an enemy in the past, he knew that Zheng Yi was a bit arrogant, but he did not seem to be such a ruthless person.

Qin Muchu had made preparations a few days ago. He took a lot of human skin masks from Old Man Qiankun and replaced the original one with the mask of a thin and yellow man. He knew that Zheng Yuan would often come out to recruit people.

Man. It's a pity that there hasn't been one these past few days.

On this day, Luo Hanchao happened to come out to recruit people. Qin Muchu responded and went. Although Luo Hanchao was not very satisfied with him, he still recruited him despite the difficulty in recruiting workers.

Qin Muchu smiled and didn't answer. He followed Luo Hanchao and arrived in front of Zhengyuan. The gate of Zhengyuan was very close to the gates of other houses. It didn't look like the first house in Suzhou's business community at all. It was ordinary.

Gates can be seen everywhere in Suzhou. The two cursive scripts for "Zheng Yuan" on the gates are made of iron and silver hooks, with dragons and phoenixes dancing, which makes it look a bit arrogant.

Luo Hanchao walked a few steps and saw Qin Muchu stopped in front of the door without moving. He thought he was a little hesitant, so he quickly stepped back out, grabbed Qin Muchu and walked straight inside.

As soon as you enter the gate, there is a rockery standing in front, with a big stone erected in the middle. This has a name in architecture, called a windshield. It means to block back all the evil spirits that want to enter the house.

It invades the home; it also blocks the blessing, wealth and luck in your home, don't let them go.

Qin Muchu followed Luo Hanchao and turned to the right, and a simple and elegant garden appeared in front of him.

As early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many depressed literati and officials, some of whom were demoted and had no choice but to retire to the mountains and forests. As a result, private gardens began to flourish.

Building gardens requires running water, and Suzhou is the most suitable area in the south of the Yangtze River. Suzhou is both a prosperous city and a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The literati and officials chose to build gardens in Suzhou because they could enjoy the convenience of city life while living in seclusion.

In the countryside. The so-called big hermitage is hidden in the court, the middle hermitage is hidden in the city, and the small hermitage is hidden in the wild. And building the garden in Suzhou is just in line with their wishes.

Since then, Suzhou has become a paradise for literati and officials to live in seclusion, and many of them went south to Suzhou to build their own gardens.

As the saying goes, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature. Suzhou's private gardens are not like those official buildings, such as the emperor's palace and the prefect's yamen, which pay attention to symmetry. Suzhou gardens try their best to

Break the symmetry and balance of the building to show its great diversity, and let nature take its course as much as possible without revealing any traces of artificiality.

In front of Qin Muchu, there is a lake with green lotus flowers growing in it. On the lake is a red-painted promenade, which twists and turns and disappears among the green trees. There are rockeries, springs, red flowers, plantains... red walls around it.

Green tiles, pavilions and pavilions are looming in the middle, multiplying in front and back, and the water and milk blend together. Those mountains, rocks and springs are all taken from famous mountains and rivers; every plant and tree is lush and lush.

Qin Muchu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Suzhou gardens are indeed well-deserved. They can see the big from the small, and get the charm of nature!"

Luo Hanchao was obviously used to this situation. When he pulled Qin Muchu, he did not go to the corridor, but walked through the right side of the lake.

Luo Hanchao said as he walked: "Xiaoyan, our Zhengyuan is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. Since you come to Zhengyuan to work, you must abide by Zhengyuan's rules. In the past,

The days when we were slaves were a little easier, but now, Xiaoyan, you have to remember that you must listen to the young master and not disobey him in the slightest. You must do what you should do quickly. Where you shouldn't go,

, you shouldn’t go either. Things you shouldn’t say and things you shouldn’t care about..."

Luo Hanchao talked a lot, but Qin Muchu didn't listen to most of it. He was admiring this unique garden building. Zheng Garden was cleverly arranged, gorgeous and deep, and it circled the water for a week, which is equivalent to passing through the four seasons of the year.

The garden is beautiful because of the scenery, and the scenery is different because of the garden.

Luo Hanchao finished what he had to say. Seeing that Qin Muchu was still looking at the scenery around him, without disturbing him, he said on his own: "I heard the old man said that this garden was built according to the layout of nine palaces. The pavilions and pavilions above are

, every mountain, every river, every flower and every stone is a chess piece in it. Hey! Why am I telling you this? You don’t understand. Let’s go, let’s go…”

After hearing this, Qin Muchu thought to himself: "This garden of the Zheng family is indeed a model of Suzhou gardens. Looking at the sparse and dense spaces, it really looks like a chess game."

Qin Muchu followed Luo Hanchao and walked in Zhengyuan, turning left and right. It can be said that every step brings a scene, just like what is said in the opera: "Three or five people walk all over the world, and six or seven people gather together with ten thousand divisions."

Luo Hanchao finally stopped in front of a big house, with the words "Linxinxuan" written on the door. Luo Hanchao first emphasized a few words to Qin Muchu, and finally said: "I will take you to see the young master later.

Remember, you must abide by the rules."

Qin Muchu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Luo Hanchao walked to the door first and shouted: "Master, I went to recruit people and came back."

A cold voice sounded: "Oh? Then bring this person in!" This should be the "young master" in Luo Hanchao's mouth, Zheng Yuan's young master Zheng Yi. But Qin Muchu always felt that this voice was a bit weird. In the past,

Zheng Yi's voice didn't seem so cold.

Luo Hanchao waved to Qin Muchu, and when Qin Muchu arrived behind him, he took him into Linxinxuan.

Linxinxuan is the hall of Zhengyuan. As soon as you enter, the floor is covered with a red carpet and four antique Taishi chairs are placed on both sides of the carpet.

Under the wall facing the door, there is a long table, with chairs on both sides of the table. This is the seat of the master. At this time, sitting on the chair on the left is a young man in gray clothes.

Qin Muchu took a closer look and found that this person was Zheng Yi, the young master of Zhengyuan who had been his rival!
