Chapter 242: Brother’s money is not worthy

Korean origin is from Shanxi, but he has worked abroad for many years and has a lot of knowledge. He originally built this house for himself, so naturally it would not be bad.

As soon as we entered the door, everyone saw the extraordinary. Looking at the pavilions and towers from a distance, the buildings were numerous, and the exquisite gardens made people feel as if they were in the water town of Jiangnan.

These beautiful scenery that were so beautiful that people could stop and enjoy were no one paying attention to it at this time. After just a moment of stopping, everyone headed straight to the rockery in the middle of the courtyard. This is the theme today, and the focus of attention of people in the capital.

The Marquis Shouning did not know that he had been regarded as the Marquis of Lu Wen. He walked in front of him with a swagger until he saw the rockery and heard the sound of water.

Before Xie Hong closed the construction, Zhang Heling had been here several times. Of course, he knew the original appearance of the garden. Although there were mountains and water, the water was dug and brought in from outside. The water flow was very smooth and there was no sound at all.

But now the sound of water is rustling and the movement is very loud. You can imagine the turbulence of the water flow from afar. With the sound of water, the garden also adds a bit of bright color. But... where does this water flow come from? Could it be that Xie Hong is really made?

Zhang Heling had an ominous premonition, and the steps under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little bit. The guest followed the host. Since the host accelerated the speed of travel, everyone followed closely behind.

Soon after, I arrived next to the rockery. The rockery faced the sun in the south and the water in the north, but everyone came from the side. When they turned the rockery, they felt a sudden enlightenment in front of them.

I don’t know when a pond was opened at the foot of the mountain. The water in the pond was clear. It’s okay, but there was a silver belt winding down the mountain and falling into the pond. It seemed that it was where the sound of water just heard came from.

The rockery also seems to have been renovated, with many embellishments on it. From a distance, you can see that it is lushly covered with a layer of green, like a forest on the mountain. There is a corner of the eaves in the middle of the bushes, which shows a pavilion hidden in it; or a yellow wall is looming, making people wonder if there is a temple behind it.

With these embellishments, the mountain seemed to be alive. There was a waterfall flying in it, the sound of the water was faint, reflecting the sunshine, and rainbow lights flashed from time to time, almost making the viewer think that Mount Lu was reduced by someone using immortal techniques and placed here, just like in a dream.

"This...is this?"

"How magnificent! It's simply a concrete and subtle scenic spot in Lushan!"

“Is this done by manpower?”

There were endless exclamations and praise, and the scene in front of me was beyond their imagination, and I couldn't help but be amazed. Not to mention others, even Korean, who had a certain plan, was captured by them. For a moment, everyone stood in front of the rockery.

"Everyone, can my work still be seen?" It was not until someone spoke that everyone came to their senses and turned to see that it was Xie Hong, and there was nothing to say.

Zhang Heling wanted to force a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not find a suitable word. What could he say? Could it be said? Even if he said it, no one would agree with it. Including himself, everyone was still uneasy at this moment. They glanced at each other from time to time. This mountain was just the same as the real one, far from comparable to the bare stone mountain.

"Xie Tongzhi's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary. I think the other two must be even more exciting. I am so eager to see what you think? Why don't I satisfy my curiosity first and then turn around and appreciate it slowly?" Han Wen smiled and suggested.

Seeing this situation, he knew that this problem had been solved without a doubt. Doing more entanglement will only harm one's face. He has also experienced Xie Hong's Cifeng, so he will naturally not repeat the same mistakes. Moreover, this rockery is too exquisite. The longer you see, the more shocked he is. He simply proposed to go to the next place to reduce the shock in everyone's heart.

After all, the rockery is just the simplest of the three problems. Someone has mentioned the method of using a water truck to lift water. Although I didn’t see where the water truck was here, and I didn’t think of the embellishments of how Xie Hong made, I think the truth is similar, and it’s not too unexpected.

In addition, only a few followers of Xie Hong were relieved. What he feared most was that Zhengde appeared here. With that man's elusiveness and strangeness, it was not rare to appear here, but if he appeared, Han Wen would be in a dilemma.

You have to treat the emperor when you see the emperor, right? That momentum is weaker; and that man is an unusual person, and with him, there may not be any accident. Xie Hong and Zhengde are in the same group, and they often have headaches, let alone Lord Han, who is the enemy?

"Then please." Xie Hong glanced at Han Wen, but said nothing more. He stretched out his hand and pointed. Everyone followed his guidance and saw a small bridge on the river not far away.

This river is an artificial river, not wide at all, and the two sides are only three or five meters apart. The small bridge is even more exquisite and exquisite. When everyone came here, they focused on the rockery, but they didn't find the bridge for a while.

When I got closer, I looked more carefully. Many people forgot the shock I had just now and couldn't help but sneer.

No one cares about how the rockery gets water. The idea is the most amazing. If it weren't for the scenery in my heart, I would never have imagined such a layout.

But the small bridge in front of me may not be a bit too casual. Generally speaking, if the bridge does not have a pier, it is probably an arch bridge. Especially this time, the question is still to be able to sail under the bridge, and the boat is a three-story pleasure boat, at least two or three meters high, so it has become a problem.

However, although the bridge is of moderate width and narrowness, its shape is like a single-plank bridge, just straight on the river surface without a trace. Not to mention the three-story pleasure boat, even ordinary small boats, if you want to pass by, no one on the boat can stand, otherwise you will definitely hit the bridge.

"Hahaha, Xie Hong, is this the bridge you built? Can such a bridge pass through three layers of pleasure boats? Are you playing with me?" Zhang Heling laughed. He held it in for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Hong was not angry and said with a smile: "I can't play monkeys, but this bridge is fine. Not to mention the third-layer pleasure boat, even if it is a five-toothed ship, as long as the Marquis drives in, you can still pass under the bridge."

Zhang Heling couldn't help but stagnate. This was just an artificial river. Not to mention the five-toothed ship, even the third-layer pleasure boat was actually all nonsense. He couldn't eat that deep water, and he was at the bottom when he walked in.

He didn't know if Xie Hong saw through this, so he built a bridge to deal with it casually. He was also thinking in his heart and was eager to make countermeasures, and he didn't even care about Xie Hong's ridicule.

"There is no third-level pleasure boat, but there is a second-level boat parked upstream. Xie Hong, I will only ask you, if you drive that boat over, can you get through?" Zhang Heling was still thinking, but Zhang Songling got the Korean prompt and asked Xie Hong with a sneer.

Han Wen spent a lot of effort on this house. With such a wide artificial river, how could he not get a boat?

"It's okay, it's okay, the Marquis just drive the boat over." Xie Hong still smiled, and no one could tell whether he was a pretentious or confident person.

After seeing his reaction, Zhang Songling felt a little unsure, but Zhang Heling was reckless and ignored so much. He waved to a servant and gave him a low instruction. Then the servant glared at Xie Hong and hurriedly moved upstream.

Naturally, everyone was talking about it again. Although no one dared to assert, no one would be optimistic about Xie Hong. Unlike when they didn't see it, the bridge is now there. No matter how magical his skills are, he can still make the boat fly from the river and jump over from the bridge?

As time goes by, the discussion gradually increases, and the questioning and gloating eyes are often turned on Xie Hong. However, Xie Hong does not care at all and always looks calm and gentle.

When a pleasure boat appeared in the upper reaches of the river, the discussion disappeared, and was replaced by a low scream, because the boat actually bulged the sails, and then the wind rushed straight down, as if it was about to collapse the small bridge.

In fact, the boatman was planning this way. Zhang Heling looked at Xie Hong with a squint eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "Xie Hong, look carefully. When your broken bridge is broken, don't forget what you said. If you fake one, you will pay 100 yuan for four million taels! Don't blame the debt, otherwise this marquis is not easy to mess with! Haha..."

After saying that, he burst into laughter again. The pleasure boat rushed over. Of course, he had just ordered it. Although it was a bit damaged when it hit the boat, he thought of Xie Hong's defeated appearance, how could Zhang Heling care about that little thing?

What's more, the main body of the bridge is made of wooden, not very wide, how strong can it be? It's not like it collapses when it hits? He told the ship to drive faster, because he was afraid that Xie Hong would have any tricks. As long as the ship is fast, he wouldn't have time to use it, right?

Seeing that the distance between the boat and the bridge was getting shorter and shorter, many people had closed their eyes and just waited to hear the loud noise of the impact. Even Zhang Heling stopped laughing and grew up waiting for the exciting moment to arrive.

"Pa, Pa." At this moment, Xie Hong, who had been smiling, made a move. He suddenly patted twice lightly. His voice was not high, but it seemed quite loud in the silent sound.

Some people were paying attention to his actions, and they felt nervous when they saw it. Is there really a trick? Under such circumstances, before they could turn their next thought, a sudden change occurred on the river surface.

The ship was not unusual, and it was still moving at a rapid speed, like a bison, hitting the bridge, but just as it was about to hit, the target disappeared.

The people on the boat were naturally shocked. Most of them were ready to jump into the river to take refuge. Only the servant sent by Zhang Heling was more heroic, independent of the bow of the boat, staring at the target with a bright look - people died for money, and his marquis promised a heavy reward, and he couldn't help but feel unhealthy.

But the target suddenly disappeared. He had already eaten a lot, and his feet were unstable and almost fell into the river. He finally stood firm and looked around and found that the bridge was not missing, but suddenly divided into two pieces from the middle, and then raised to both sides to empty the river surface.

He saw it all, and the people on the river bank could see it more clearly. Zhang Heling's chin almost fell to the ground, and the others were also very surprised. The moving bridge was so amazing!

After being surprised, I thought about it and suddenly realized that with such a bridge, no matter how big the boat is, I can pass through it. Can't I see that the bridges on both sides stand upright on the river bank?

"The treasures are produced must be excellent." Xie Hongyouran said: "Mr. Marquis, 400,000 taels, don't be dependent on the debt. It must be noted that I am not easy to mess with." He actually returned the original words.

Zhang Heling's face turned blue and white, and he finally said something: "There is another question, so you can solve it first."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Xie Hong smiled, his expression was the same as when he responded to the question that day.

When walking past the bridge, many people were still trembling. After all, the bridge had just moved, and who knew it was strong or not. But Xie Hong was the first to go up the bridge and was waiting in the middle of the bridge. Naturally, there was nothing to hesitate. After crossing the bridge, he naturally felt a little surprised.

Not only can they be active, but they are also so strong. When I think of Xie Hong's advertising slogan, many people already believed it, and even didn't feel any suspense about the last question. It was just a window. How could this world's number one skilled craftsman be rare?

The Zhang brothers were very uneasy. If Xie Hong passed the last question, they would have owed 300,000 taels of silver! The deposit of 100,000 taels has been paid, needless to say.

Such a large amount is not something they can do. They have no industry. Apart from taking some autumn wind from Empress Dowager Zhang from time to time, they rely on a little salary. They are usually expensive and have no savings at all. How can they afford such a large amount of money?

Of course, this matter was started by Han Wen, and you can ask Han Wen for it, but what if Han Wen doesn't admit it? Their uncles are not He Jin in the Three Kingdoms. They really have no power, otherwise how could they make a rash move for a house?

What's more, this time I offended the plague god, but I couldn't do anything about him. Thinking about the terrible part of the plague god in the rumor, the backs of the two uncles were cold and cold sweats were pouring down. That was the plague god, who was specialized in the plague opponent, and if it was involved, it would be unlucky. This time I faced it directly, how could that be great?

The court officials were very calm. Han Wen had a certain plan, and the others were not concerned about themselves. However, Li Wu's expression was a bit strange. Somehow, Mr. Li looked worried, but he looked more like the envoy behind the scenes than Han Wen.

When they saw the windows of the house, everyone's mood changed again. Most of them were disappointed, while the Zhang brothers were a little grateful because the window was too ordinary, just a window made of bamboo pieces.

Although the bamboo sheets are tightly clenched, they are not transparent at all, and they must have better breathability, but they are far from what everyone expected and do not seem to match the question.

The question requires that the windows can also be exposed to light while shielding from wind and rain. If glazed glass is used as windows, it can be solved, but there are many houses in this courtyard. If glazed glass is used, 400,000 taels will not be stopped. Therefore, it is considered a difficult problem. Can bamboo windows now play the same role as glazed glass?

"Xie Hong, you can't tell me this time, right? This Hou's title is..." Zhang Heling's personality is indeed a bit 2, and he has no memory at all. He looked around inside and out, and felt that he was thinking well, and laughed out loud.

However, no one talked about it this time, and no one agreed. The others were staring at Xie Hong to see what he did. The magical scenes they saw made them feel scared. Before the final result came out, how could they dare to make a random assertion?

The first two are related to architecture, and the results are so magical. Now... you know, the most famous thing about the plague god is these clever objects. Although the window looks inconspicuous and seems to be similar to the lying window, who can know what in fact?

"Let the water go! Open the window!" Xie Hongqing let out a roar, directly interrupting Zhang Heling's silly smile.

Someone brought a water dragon to the side. After a few moves, a water dragon sprayed out and poured onto the window. Then there was a slight sound of "swish", and the window also shone out with light.

But... like this kind of window opening? Everyone was shocked. It turned out that the bamboo pieces were not spliced, but each piece was independent. I don’t know what kind of mechanism to open and close it.

Light can be seen through the gaps between the bamboo pieces, but the bamboo pieces that can be turned outward are inclined downwards, so that the splashes falling from above cannot enter the house at all.

"This design is simply ingenious." Finally, someone shouted out of control.

"This is a lying window? But it doesn't look like it! Lord Xie, the villain dares to ask, what is this window called?" The craftsmen were even more amazed. They really didn't think about this window. They had forgotten their fear of Xie Hong and asked him.

"This is called blinds." Xie Hong smiled faintly.

Speaking of which, this thing also originated from China. The straight strips are called mullet windows, and the horizontal strips are called lying windows. There are many applications in the buildings of the Ming Dynasty. However, this is the first time that the blinds that can move freely have been displayed in front of the world.

Although some people had similar thoughts in the past, allowing the window lattice to be flipped and convenient for light and ventilation, the famous craftsmen who came with them today are all famous architectural masters, so they naturally knew it. But even though they knew, they were still shocked when they saw Xie Hong's blinds.

Because when the blinds are opened and closed, they are not flipped one by one, but the overall action is not even needed to approach. Is the person standing inside still a few steps away from the window?

It turns out that he is the world's number one skilled craftsman, with a brilliant idea and an even more outstanding craftsmanship! All the craftsmen are apologizing for themselves, but some are not convinced, but like Zhang Heling just now, they are completely speechless.

"The blinds? It turns out that bamboo is like leaves, and the blinds are like windows. It is such a clever conception and exquisite craftsmanship. Today is a very eye-opener." Someone exclaimed.

Xie Hong looked up and saw that he had an impression of the person who exclaimed, but he was the head of the Ministry of War who was strangely behaved at the grand ceremony that day. This person didn't talk much along the way, but he observed every place very carefully, as if he was not just watching the excitement, but also had a bit of the meaning of observing and learning, which seemed very different among the civil servants.

But Xie Hong didn't have time to pay attention to an irrelevant person now. He turned around and saw that the Zhang Heling brothers were already looking like a mortal face, but Xie Hong has never been a good person and would not have any sympathy for his enemies. He reiterated the old saying: "Marty, 400,000 taels, don't betray the debt. It must be noted that this official is not easy to mess with."

When they heard this sentence just now, the Zhang brothers were still a little angry, but when they heard it again, they were completely angry and were full of fear. They just wanted to stay in Cining Palace for a few days and take refuge. It was not fun to owe money to the plague god, especially the plague god, who even acted as if he wanted to pursue it, which was so terrible!
