The river was not big. Within a quarter of an hour, Shen Wen got on the carriage and stopped. The housekeeper Chen Fu said to Shen Wen that the Shen Mansion has arrived.

Chen Mansion is located at the entrance of Ximeijia Lane, Zhuxiang. There is no need to ask Chen Fu. Shen Wen visited the former residence of the top scholar several times in his previous life. China likes this feeling the most. However, after Shen Wen got off the carriage, he still felt that it was a little different from the one he visited in his previous life.

What was restored in the past life was more luxurious and impetuous, but what I see now was more tranquility and sedimentation.

When I got off the carriage, the first thing I saw was a grand screen wall.

Screen wall, also known as screen wall, was called Xiao Wall in ancient times. It was a wall used to block the view in traditional Han buildings.

In ancient times, people believed that ghosts kept visiting their homes. It was allowed to go home if the soul of their ancestors was the only one who was a lonely ghost slipping into the house, which would bring disaster to themselves. Of course, the screen wall also had its functional function, which was to block the view of outsiders. Even if the door was open, outsiders could not see the inside of the house.

The screen wall can also set off the atmosphere and increase the momentum of the house.

The screen wall in front of Shen Mansion is about two zhang wide and ten zhang high, with a rafter shape. A large character for blessing is carved with stones on the wall, and then some auspicious patterns, which look grand and generous.

Judging from the handmade art, I guess it will cost a lot of money to make this screen wall.

"Young Master Chen, please come here." Chen Fu said with a smile.

Shen Wen took a step back and said, "I dare not, butler Shen, please ask first."

His identity is just a poor boy. I don’t know if he can hold the big tree of the Shen family, but he can get into the Shen Mansion. He is just a distant disciple and his status is definitely not as high as this butler. Shen Wen dares not be upset at this time.

When Chen Fu saw Shen Wen insisting on not walking in front, he secretly praised him and no longer rude him, and took Shen Wen into the side door.

The main entrance is only opened when there are important guests or glorious ancestors. Shen Wen dared not expect the Chen Mansion to open the main entrance for himself.

Chen Mansion is a typical Jianghuai folk house structure. It faces north and south, south and north, into the main gate, front hall, central hall, and backyard pavilion. There are four entrances in front and back. The courtyards of the house are basically flat and narrow, with a courtyard wall separated from the middle hall and the backyard. Shen Wen knew that although the Shen family had the top scholar Shen Kun, the Shen family was originally a military member and started from business. The salary of Ming officials was notoriously low, but the Shen Mansion obviously did not expect Shen Kun's salary.

Entering Chen Mansion is like walking into a Jiangnan-style garden. The doors and windows are made of excellent wood, and there are many exquisite wood carvings on it. There are all kinds of furniture and everything. Even the housekeeper and maid are dressed very carefully. It can be seen that the Chen Mansion has a deep foundation.

In fact, the extraordinaryness of Chen Mansion can be seen from the screen wall.

According to the plan of Chen Mansion, when entering from the side, it is the main gate, front hall, middle hall, and then to the annex building of the backyard. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Fu should take him to the central hall to meet his master. However, after entering the door, the butler took him directly to the backyard with a lake-lit light in the small gate of the Donger Room, walked through the Wanbo Pavilion, and walked straight to the island Pavilion.

In a typical garden style, there is a lake in the courtyard and an island on the lake. There are various pavilions, buildings and pavilions inside, connected by bridges and corridors, decorated with rockery, strange flowers and plants, and rare ancient trees, giving people a feeling of winding paths, quietness and distantness.

This is the life of the upper-class people in the Ming Dynasty. It is not only luxurious, but also tasteful.

When passing through the west wing, Shen Wen saw the Miss Building where the female family in the Shen Mansion lived through the round arch of the west wing. It was a two-story pavilion with corridors connected to the front and back buildings, forming a circular inner courtyard. People commonly known as the "Zuma Tower". The beams, lattice fans, interior door masks, etc. up and downstairs all have exquisite wood carvings. Only people who are very close can enter. No accident, the father and brothers are not easily stepped on, and outsiders must not get close to each other.

Rich people can enjoy it. They live in places, including lakes, pavilions, buildings, pavilions, housekeepers, and housekeepers. They can wear clothes and reach out to eat and open their mouths.

Walking along the path paved with bluestone, looking at the picturesque scenery, listening to the breeze pointing through the rustling treetops, and smelling the fragrance of flowers in the sky, I felt intoxicated for a moment.

Under the leadership of the butler Chen Fu, Shen Wen passed through the bridge pavilion and finally walked to the Pavilion Island.

Yu Lao'an and Chen Fang, the second master of the Shen family, sat in the pavilion on the pavilion island. There were a lot of snacks on the stone table in the pavilion. Lao'an sat on the upper head, and Chen Fang sat in the lower head and talked to his mother. Next to him were a few boys about twelve or twelve years old. Judging from their clothes, they should be men from the Shen clan.

This was obviously a small party to meet Shen Wen.

When Shen Wen approached, some people looked curious, some were cold, some were indifferent, and some were disdainful. The attitudes of these people could be ignored. Shen Wen focused on the two main masters, Yu Lao Anren and Shen Fang.

Your own destiny depends on the attitudes of Lao An and Shen Fang.

Yu Lao'an's eyes were very kind, while Chen Fang's attitude was a little casual. Suddenly, Shen Wen's eyes stagnated: a maid was standing behind Yu Lao'an's eyes with a cloth bag in her arms, looking at him curiously.

That cloth bag was not something I had to send myself?

In ancient times, people had three wives and four concubines, and had a large group of children. Those born in the vassal were not taken seriously. What's more, their relationship was even weaker after several generations. The Shen family in the Hexia family was a big family, and I don't know how many nephews of Shen family were. This time, if they met with me, if they were lucky, they would divide a room outside and arrange another errand. If they were not lucky, they might take a few taels of silver and get rid of themselves with two sets of clothes.

I finally had the opportunity to hold my thighs, so I can't let it go like this.

As he got closer, Shen Wen began to get anxious. When he accidentally saw Pingyuan Mountain Hall opposite Ting Island, he suddenly felt a sudden thrill in his mind and a wonderful idea came to his heart.

Seeing Shen Wen arrive, Old Mrs. Yu squinted her eyes and secretly exclaimed in her heart: What a handsome brother.

Shen Wen is still in a good look, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes are bright and energetic. He is more than one head taller than ordinary Ming people, and he looks outstanding. He has a unique temperament, which is the kind that can be seen at a glance when walking in the crowd. He gives people a good impression at first glance. In addition, the halo of Shen's sons and nephews who have been separated for many years, the old lady is very satisfied with Shen Wen.

Just when the old lady was about to talk to the nephew of Shen who had been separated for many years, Shen Wen suddenly stopped and looked at the old lady with her eyes fixedly, her eyes were a little dull and her expression was a little excited. Slowly, Shen Wen's eyes turned red.

"This child is not so excited when he sees his relatives." The old lady said happily: "A man is a real man, he will shed blood and not cry. Be good, don't cry."

The old lady thought Shen Wen hadn't seen his relatives for too long, but now she found his relatives. She was excited and revealed her true feelings, thinking that this child valued love.

Chen Fang also smiled and said, "Nephew, don't think so much. From now on, you will be one of the Shen family in the Hexia family."

Just when everyone thought Shen Wen would thank the old lady and Mr. Shen, Shen Wen shook his head and said, "Old lady, Uncle Chen, I didn't want to cry when I saw you. For some reason, I seemed to feel in the direction ahead, as if someone was talking to me, saying that you were finally back, and for some reason, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart."

No, although the sun is about to set, it is still daytime. Is this scary or talking in the sun in broad daylight?

This Shen Wen looks smart, isn't he brain problem?

The people present talked about it and looked at Shen Wen with confusion or disdain. When Chen Fang heard it, he looked at Shen Wen with some surprise. Old Mrs. Yu stood up and asked anxiously: "Brother Wen, where are you talking to you?"

Shen Wen didn't say anything, pretending to be a little scared and pointed to Pingyuan Mountain Hall opposite the island.

"The ancestors appeared." Old Mrs. Yu's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she screamed with excitement.
