This courtyard was infinitely grander than the one where he lived, and Ye San was even more impressed by the wealth and wealth of the three generations of the good family.
The courtyard, which Hongzao calls a house specially designed to accommodate nobles, is an Hui-style building with white walls, gray tiles, high walls and a deep house. The carved beams and painted pillars are painted with gold. On the vertical ridges, in addition to dragons and phoenixes that cannot be overridden, there are eight auspicious birds and auspicious animals. The yard is full of green shadows, not to mention the evergreen pines and cypresses, some green plants have not been seen even in the middle of the night.
Every corner of this secluded courtyard, which is supposed to be freehand, shows off the owner's financial resources.
Even more so here.
What I saw outside the courtyard just now was nothing new. Except for the extremely long walls, it can be seen that the courtyard is not small. Only the vermilion door shows the difference between this place and the other surrounding courtyards.
In the middle of the night, I found a secluded corner and went in. I just glanced at the wall, and even someone like him who came from a wealthy family like him would sigh.
Naturally, I didn't sigh at the grandeur of this courtyard. After all, it couldn't compare to the one in my house in terms of size or area. What Ye San was more impressed by was the architecture in it.
The nine-curved corridor in the yard is winding and winding, and the front yard can only be described as impenetrable by water. Looking from a high position, it looks like a long snake coiled into a messy mass, with a looming stream of living water hidden in it. A small circular pond was dug in the direction, and further back, close to the cliff, are three residences of different heights, sizes, and styles.
Starting from the left, there is a wooden pavilion with four pointed corners, then a three-story building with a helmet top, and on the far right is a small house hanging on the top of the mountain.
No matter how late at night, it looked like he was lighting three sticks of incense in front of the cliff.
Late in the night, he naturally understood what was said. There were so many Buddhist nuns and Taoist disciples in his family, and he had heard those people reciting some Buddhist principles and Taoism since he was a child.
Nowadays, the world is at peace and the government is clear. There is no shortage of men and women attending temples to pray devoutly to God. Every household more or less kneels down to worship local Taoist gods or worship Buddhist Bodhisattvas. Some stories from far west Huo Zhuo Hu Tian is also spread in various places, and burning incense and paying homage every day has become a new spiritual sustenance.
Regarding burning incense, each family has its own opinion. The watershed is not far from Wudang. It is obviously influenced by the Taoist divination of "when three incense burn more than half, the higher or lower determines good or bad luck", this Taoist incense burning pattern was created.
However, looking at it in the middle of the night made me want to laugh.
There are seventy-two Taoist incense-burning sayings. This is based on how fast the incense burns to determine good or bad luck, rather than bless something based on the level of the incense.
The left side is slightly higher, the middle is the highest, and the right side is the lowest. This pattern after the incense ash falls is called thieves and thieves incense in the incense book.
Apparently the ancestor of the Liang family heard this name and made this layout out of imagination.
The incense of thieves and thieves is high on the left and low on the right, with a bulge in the middle, which symbolizes protection against thieves during the day and night, and the fairy in the middle ensures safety. Building a house like this... bullshit.
The nine-curved corridor covered half of the courtyard. It was convenient to jump off the courtyard wall in the middle of the night and rest on the top of the corridor, but there was no trace of the person who had just entered. He wanted to jump but was worried about exposing his whereabouts. After all, it was inappropriate to climb over the wall and be seen in broad daylight.
Fortunately, the man appeared at the edge of the small pool in the middle of the night when he was looking around for a hidden place to stay. He walked around the pool, said hello to the two guards guarding the door of the three-story building and pushed in.
In the middle of the night, he crept closer, made a big circle, and arrived behind three houses. There are still traces of artificial excavation on the cliff. After years of wind and rain, they are not very obvious, but they also made Ye Sangen completely worship the good ancestor of the good family.
In order for his children and grandchildren to enjoy great blessings, the leader of the water thieves who got lucky and obtained mysterious skills and became a human master has taken great pains. There is no place in the water village that does not show off his family's wealth, and there is no place that does not coincide with good Feng Shui. layout.
The water village is backed by the watershed, a large mountain rising abruptly from the Danxia River, and is surrounded by green water, which is exactly the gold in water in Feng Shui. This house is built under the cliff, with a typical cornucopia layout. Coupled with the pond in front, it is definitely an excellent location to sit on the mountain with green water.
I just don’t know whether the deliberate actions of human beings count, Ye San even thinks so.
Taking advantage of the low house hanging on the top of the mountain on the right, I jumped up in the middle of the night and climbed up the edge of the house to grab the corner of the first floor of the three-story building in the middle. Using my strength, I swung up to the second floor. This kind of building strives to be beautiful and has overhanging eaves, so there is absolutely no problem for Tibetans.
As clever as a monkey and as steady as a civet cat, it didn't make a sound when it landed. On the third day of the night, it lifted up its energy and leaned against the window to listen. The sound was not very clear. I just heard a vague sound of "Let's talk when we get up", and then the sound disappeared. None.
Carefully opening the window, I saw a group of three people going upstairs one after another. They got in sideways at midnight and reached the stairs with gentle steps. The sound came from above.
When I walked into the courtyard just now, it was midnight, and I saw that the third floor of this building is a pavilion-style building with ventilation on all sides. It is probably a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer. In the middle of the night, I climbed up the stairs and leaned on the inside to listen to the conversation above.
Ye San didn't even know the name of Xia Ao who was instigating everyone on Jie Yin Ping. Just now, it was just because of what he did on Jie Yin Ping that made Ye San even more disdainful. Seeing him coming here sneakily, That's why I decided to follow him to see why.
As soon as we entered the compound at midnight, we were not sure where it was. Seeing the appearance of those people, we could conclude that this was the residence of Liang Xia Ke, or the residence of the owner of Shuizhai Village.
Together with Xia Ao were Liangsha's mother and son.
Xia Ao spoke first, deliberately lowering his voice, obviously to guard against the two guards at the door on the first floor. Although it was impossible for them to hear him because of the distance, Xia Ao's caution could be seen.
Xia Ao just talked about what happened in the meeting hall just now, which was very different from what Ling Shan Luan just talked about about the two siblings in the middle of the night. But before Xia Ao could finish what he said, another voice sounded, saying, "So Liang Chun can't be the leader of the village?" It was a woman's voice. You didn't even need to look to know that it was Liang Xia's mother and Liang Xia Ke's wife.
"No one can say for sure at the moment. The great elder has already gone to the back mountain to find the old village master." Xia Ao said, "If the old village master leaves seclusion, there is a high probability that Liangchun will take over."
"So what do you mean by coming to us?" It was still the woman who spoke.
Xia Ao didn't answer directly. After taking a few breaths, he asked in a questioning tone: "Don't you want to compete?"
At the end of this sentence, there was no more sound from upstairs.
Ye San Geng could understand that Xia Ao came here to find Dafang and his family obviously to protect his own interests. After all, the saying that one emperor and one minister does not only apply to temples, especially his performance on Jie Yin Ping was really infuriating.
After a long silence, a voice came out, "How to fight?"
Ye San could tell that it was Liangsha's voice, and could also hear the urgency in his tone.
"Can I still let Sister Chun'er be my wife?"
Apparently he had misunderstood Xia Ao's meaning. Liangsha's question made the former anxiously ask: "Sir, you don't want to be the leader of the village?"
There was another moment of silence, then Liangsha said dullly: "If Sister Chun'er becomes the leader of the village, and I marry her, it will make no difference whether I become the leader of the village or not."
This answer was met with a long silence, and even the late night man who was hiding below was speechless for this heinously simple-minded young man.
"Master Xia, is there any way to help my son?" Liangsha's mother knew the overall situation and knew that the most important thing now was to maintain her family's position in the village. Obviously she was understanding and knew that since Xia Ao could be found at this time, he would naturally find his own solution.
There was a smile in Xia Ao's tone, "It's not that there is no way, but I don't know if Mr. Xia will forget me if he becomes the leader of the village."
Before anything was done, he started asking for benefits, which made Ye Sangeng, who was hiding and eavesdropping, curl his lips.
Then Liangsha's mother let out a long sigh and said, "As soon as the child's father came down, Hall Master Xia extended a helping hand. This kind of kindness will be unforgettable for us orphans and widowed mothers."
"I don't want to be the leader of the village, I want to marry sister Chun'er."
Liangsha's interruption once again made Ye San feel like a loser. He didn't know how his father could give birth to such a son, even though he was a cruel man. Could it be that I am really a hero and a bitch?
Obviously Xia Ao was helpless and sighed: "Master Xia, if you want to become the leader of the village, who won't listen to you?"
Immediately afterwards, Liangsha let out a long, understanding "Oh," "That's right, that's right."
Xia Ao said again: "The eldest elder has gone to find the old village master. I think because of the Ye family siblings, the old village master has to go out and deal with it. At that time, we will say that the second master and his family colluded with outsiders to destroy our water village. The old village The Lord will naturally consider it. No matter what, everyone in the village belongs to us."
In fact, there is no need to explain the rest of the words. It is nothing more than sowing discord. It all depends on how one mouth says it. It has happened in ancient and modern times that three people become tigers.
At the end of Xia Ao's incompetent words like "It's time to eat", the sound of friction on the floor was heard, followed by the sound of footsteps. In the middle of the night, he turned over and jumped down the stairs and hid in a nearby room. inside.
Leaving a gap open, he secretly watched Xia Ao go downstairs in the middle of the night, and waited briefly to see if the two people upstairs came down. However, he did not hear the sound of coming downstairs again, but there was a creaking sound behind him.
In the middle of the night, I turned around and saw someone opening the door in the back room.
The man rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up. He raised his arms to cover half of his face in the middle of the night. He was very familiar with this deceptive move. Then he swayed away and was in front of the man in the blink of an eye. When he had no chance to react, he raised his hand and a palm knife struck the back of his neck, and he fell into coma immediately.
Gently putting the man down on the ground, Ye San looked at him more carefully, but fell into surprise.
From yesterday to now, he also learned about the two village owners who do not distinguish between guests and guests. The second one is a girl and the elder one is a younger one. But he has never heard that Liangsha has a brother. ? ! But this one in front of me...
Obviously there is a good building upstairs, why is there another good building here?
It was obvious that this person was Liangsha. No matter whether he was in the small courtyard in the morning or at Jieyinping at noon, he would never admit his mistake on the third day of the night.
Pretend?
In the middle of the night, I searched the man's face for a while but couldn't find any trace of disguise, and I was even more puzzled.
Looking around, I saw that the furnishings should be in the inner room, with two rooms inside and outside. The position I was in was the bedroom in the back room. The windows were wide open, letting in a cool breeze.
He didn't care about that much at the moment, so he left this person alone on the third night. After all, there were two people upstairs. He wanted to find out if there was any other news first. At midnight, I walked to the window and looked around. Outside was the eaves of the first-floor roof, which happened to be on the west side. Next to it was the pavilion with four pointed corners.
At midnight, I poked my head out again and looked up. Directly above was the eaves protruding from the roof of the second floor, half a foot away. It was naturally easy to go up, but for the pavilion-style building above with ventilation from all sides, going up would undoubtedly be exposed.
After thinking about it over and over again, he jumped out of the window in the middle of the night and jumped up, reaching out to grab the raised teeth. He happened to hear the conversation coming from above. It was not clear, but it was not in the way.
"Why, are you still afraid that your useless son will die?"
The voice of this meaningless sentence was that of a woman, but it was not the voice of Liangsha’s mother.
Ye Sangen couldn't help but wonder to himself, why is there a third person?
"Don't dare, don't dare." This was the voice of Liangsha's mother.
"Hmph." Obviously, the completely unfamiliar voice was very disdainful, "He has been fed the medicine, you do what you should do."
"Sir, Liang Xia's guest is dead, what else can I do?" Liang Xia's mother's voice was full of panic, "That Xia Ao just now, he just wanted to help Xia'er take the position of village leader, why don't you Promise him?"
"That guy? He's full of bad ideas. Does he want to help your son become the leader of the village? He's afraid that Liangchun will come to settle accounts with him after he becomes the leader of the village. In the past six months, he and your bastard husband have been together. You must have bullied Liang Gaobin’s family.”
Then there was a burst of pacing, and the strange voice was still there, "Originally, I wanted to use your damn husband's hand to get rid of Liang Gaobin, but I really didn't expect that Liang Gaobin would come with such a hand. It's good now, at least the two of them It’s all gone, but it saved me a lot of trouble.”
It was obvious that he had an ulterior motive. In the middle of the night, he thought that this person was pretending to be Liangsha.
"It's unusual for Xia Yue to be in the middle of the night that night. Why did Liang Xiabin, a consumptive man, find these two people? I just received the news, so I can't conflict with them."
Hearing the other party mentioning himself, the man who was hanging on the eaves in the middle of the night bent his arms slightly and slowly moved his body upward, trying to get closer.
At this moment, I heard someone yell: "Who is it!"
The voice belonged to Xia Ao, and he was able to tell it immediately at midnight. Following the sound, he saw Xia Ao at the first corner of the nine-wind corridor. His voice was like a loud bell, and he almost broke his throat.
"Someone is eavesdropping!"
Obviously, although they were not very far away, it was just that the posture in the middle of the night made it difficult for people to tell who it was. It was normal that Xia Ao couldn't tell.
Seeing that he had been discovered and exposed, and hearing the sound of walking upstairs, he let go and ran into the house in the middle of the night, and heard a voice from upstairs again, "Where is it?"
The sound became the sound of Liangsha heard at noon again.
"Into the house!"
Hiding by the window and peeking, I saw Xia Ao running back and pointing at this room in the middle of the night. Immediately after, the two guards also ran out and looked this way, and then there was a "dong dong" coming downstairs from outside the house. Voice.
This is good, there is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, and it is blocked.
