LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 141 Chinese Garden
After lunch.
Liu Zhifeng grabbed Su Yang's hand again, as if she was afraid that her grandson would run away.
"Xiaosi, grandma will show you around the house?"
"Okay." Naturally, Su Yang had no objection, and just happened to take a walk after eating a full meal.
So, under the leadership of Su Jiannan and Liu Zhifeng, a group of people walked out of the living room and passed through the wind and rain corridor outside.
It has to be said that the private courtyard of the Su family's old house, which is a retro-new Chinese style garden, really has a traditional beauty.
Everywhere in Su Yang, you can see the Canglang Pavilion surrounded by corridors, the Lion Forest with strange rocks, the Humble Administrator’s Garden with halls and pavilions, and the Lingering Garden with hanging vines, all of which are the most traditional aesthetics for thousands of years. concept.
Walking into this kind of garden private mansion, looking at the old crafts of stacking mountains, water management, painting, bricklaying, clay sculpture, wood carving, etc., is like walking into a peach blossom garden.
"It's been a long time since the family has been so lively as it is today." Su Jiannan looked at the people behind him and laughed heartily.
Seeing his grandpa's radiant face, Su Yang asked curiously, "Grandpa, don't uncles and aunts usually live here?"
"They don't want to live here, I'm afraid I, an old man, will nag them every day." Su Jiannan looked at his grandson amiably and said.
Su Shengyi couldn't hang on for a while, and quickly said, "Dad, it's not that we are afraid of your nagging, but that we are busy with work, so we don't come back to see you two elders when we have free time."
"It's better if you don't come back, so you don't bother me." Su Jiannan blew his beard and stared. Although he is old, he is still tall and straight. Just looking there can bring endless pressure to people. into the momentum.
Su Shengyi lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to speak.
Concubine Su Qing smirked in Su Yang's ear, and whispered: "Your three uncles have given birth to eleven daughters over the years, but they can't even give birth to a single son, and they are often beaten by the old man. "
Only then did Su Yang understand that among the three uncles, except for the third uncle who had three daughters, the eldest uncle and the second uncle each gave birth to four daughters. This is indeed a headache for the Su family with a big family.
Especially the generation of grandpa, they are a little patriarchal. Of course, this is not to say that daughters are not good. Isn't concubine Su Qing being praised as the apple of the eye?
But there are too many daughters, and no male can inherit the family business accumulated over the years. The old man will feel that no one will guard the hard work of his ancestors for generations. Ancestors.
The group continued to walk in the garden.
Concubine Su Qing took Su Yang's arm and introduced the garden to him while walking.
"Yangyang, this kind of Chinese-style garden actually pays more attention to three constructions and seven masters. The craftsman's construction only accounts for one-third, and the owner's maintenance takes up seven parts. Therefore, only after years of living can the garden gradually spread out. Exude the temperament of the master."
"How many kinds of plants are there?" Su Yang asked curiously.
"There are more than 130 kinds of green plants in all the gardens." Concubine Su Qing replied.
"Aren't you afraid that there will be more mosquitoes?" Su Yang knows that the more plants there are, the more mosquitoes will be.
Liu Zhifeng pointed to a row of green plants on the side of the road, and said kindly: "Xiao Si'er, that's the mosquito repellent plant. Many things have been planted in the garden. The effect is very good, and there will be no mosquitoes."
"So it's like this." Su Yang was eye-opening. It turns out that the maintenance of the Chinese courtyard is so particular.
Soon the group walked to the west side of the east line of the garden.
However, Su Jiannan stopped and let out a long sigh, with a hint of worry and sadness hidden in his eyes.
Su Yang glanced at Grandpa curiously.
Seeing his grandson's concerned expression, Su Jiannan regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Little Si, in front of you is the Buddhist hall that your grandma built for you. Grandpa will take you to see it."
"Okay." Su Yang nodded.
Everyone walked behind Su Jiannan.
Sure enough, a very majestic Daxiong Palace appeared in front of Su Yang.
There is a big bronze tripod in the middle of the door, and a large bronze censer for burning incense for Buddha in the north. There are also a pair of carved dragon pillars or a pair of exquisite pagodas in front of the hall.
A group of people walked into the hall, and there were many prayer flags, happy doors and various ritual instruments hanging in front of the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statues enshrined in the hall include Maitreya Buddha, Avalokitesvara, Four Heavenly Kings, Eighteen Arhats, and Twenty-seven Bodhisattvas.
The solemn and solemn atmosphere makes people look in awe.
Su Yang saw his father's name in the hall, and then remembered that his aunt had mentioned this to him before.
In the past, people in the Su family thought that their father and son had passed away 21 years ago.
So grandma built this Daxiong hall on the west side of the old house, and invited all the gods and Buddhas to pray and bless them.
At this time, only the father's reincarnation remains in the hall, and Su Yang's has obviously been invited down.
After all, the reincarnation tablet is set up for the person who has passed away. Through the blessing of merit and virtue, this person will be reborn in a good way or reborn in bliss.
"Little Sier, first burn incense to the Buddha with grandma, and then burn incense to your father." Liu Zhifeng had already lit a stick of sandalwood, and said kindly, pulling Su Yang.
Su Yang nodded, he didn't understand these things, it's better to follow the old man, so as not to make any taboos.
And when Su Yang saw his grandparents kneeling on the futon sincerely, muttering something softly, his eyes were moist.
I can also feel the pain of the two elders for the death of their father, which is still engraved in their hearts, and they have never let it go.
This made him feel in a trance, as if he had seen the scenes of his grandparents praying for them in the past 21 years.
Three uncles, aunts, aunts, and eleven cousins also sincerely bowed down and offered incense.
At this time, there is no Lingnan king Su Jiannan, the secretary of the governor of Yue Province, the general of the Lingnan Military Region, and the head of a state in Bagui Province. There is only a strong family relationship.
Su Jiannan patted Su Yang on the shoulder, usually full of coercion and cold eyes, but now full of love and indulgence, smiled and said: "Okay my dear grandson, it's hot in the afternoon, so we'll stop here Now, you are tired from flying today, go to rest first."
"Well, grandpa and grandma, you should also have a good rest." Su Yang nodded in response.
Concubine Su Qing led him out of the Daxiong Palace and came to a single-family house on the south side. It looks like a three-story structure with pavilions and lofts, but the inside looks like a retro modern mansion.
Su Yang looked curiously at the living space in this courtyard.
Although this is a new Chinese-style garden private mansion, the living space still meets modern standards.
Naturally, high-tech electronic products are indispensable, such as TV, air conditioner, refrigerator and stereo.
There is a mahogany root-carved tea table and tea chair in the middle of the living room, and all other furniture is also made of mahogany.
The TV wall is made of a whole piece of jade without any cutting.
