A Chinese servant bowed beside him and replied: "The son-in-law has indeed gone to sea, but he has already given instructions. After the guests arrive, they immediately light fireworks. He is on the nearby sea and returns when he sees the signal."

Liao Wu nodded: "Since that's the case, let's arrange accommodation for the guests first. There is no hurry for the son-in-law to wait for the guests to settle down before lit fireworks notification."

The girls got off the carriage one by one. They stood in front of the carriage door and were helpless. Anyone who came into contact with such a grand building for the first time would be shocked by this building: the huge is the characteristic of every attachment of it. The stone pillars that support the sky, the five or six meters high gate is probably the same height as the city gate. Ordinary people, who uses the city gate as the house door? Such a huge window, so... it is simply a magical craftsman.

With the huge porch under your feet, the momentum of the entire building was speechless. The girls stood there in a daze, pressing each other honestly, looking at the building with curiosity and shock. Just when they didn't know which foot to take, an Indian servant with a big head wrapped in a big head stepped forward and bowed and said in stiff Chinese: "Girls, please come with me; respectful, please go here."

With his greeting, dozens of servants standing by the waiting side also came forward to help the girls get their luggage - the luggage was nothing special, just wrapped in leather. At this moment, I regretted not to customize a few suitcases for the girls to facilitate travel and to match the aura of this building.

Walking through the huge granite porch, the girls were frightened by the more prosperous atmosphere in the door - in fact, the owner of the house did not have a strong temper, such as the columns did not have gilt, and the door handles were also made of ordinary bronze, which was gray and dull, but the building itself gave people a huge sense of oppression, and under their feet, it made people even more confused about how to take steps.

The mosaics are laid under the feet. Yes, although Cyprus invented mosaic paintings thousands of years ago. Although China is famous for its porcelain, it has laid tiles under the feet and spliced ​​them into huge figure paintings... This makes people dare not guess this work of art.

In the house, it seems that besides the door and furniture, there are very few wooden materials. There are huge stone everywhere. The sculptures are, the walls are, and even the stairs are made of huge stone slabs. Oh, this guy actually made the ground with mosaics, which was earlier than when we worked hard to make the terrazzo floor in Haizhou City. It's unreasonable.

The servants repeatedly greeted each other, and Shi Chuan interrupted with a smile: "Go to settle everything, it's safe. See you in the hall later."

The girls gave a silent gift, followed the servants up the stairs quietly and went to the left and right. Shi Chuan calmed his mind and walked up the stairs with the servants. When he went upstairs, the girls were allocating rooms, either three or four, and Huang E and Huan Niang were divided into a separate room, which happened to be located on the left and right of Shi Chuan's bedroom.

Shideng had no miscellaneous items, so he entered his room and enjoyed the servant's hotel-style service familiarly, allowing the servant to place his own things. He ran to the window and looked at the nearby sea. Outside the window, a strange sailboat was sailing past the window, trying to walk towards the dock. The location of the dock happened to be parallel to the building, and both were not far from the coastline... Oh, I understand, the strange thing about this sailboat is: it is a soft sailboat.

Shi Cheng quietly touched the window. The window was divided into two layers. The outer layer was made of hardwood blinds. The shutters were made of blinds, which were exquisite as usual in Song Dynasty products. However, the gear parts were not from the Song Dynasty. They were very tightly connected, and the material seemed to be bronze. They could flexibly fix the window leaves at various angles, and they had already passed through the sunlight. The sunlight entered the house through a huge floor-to-ceiling window made of green silk yarn...

Shi Chuan was studying the window with a sneaky expression. Liao Wu came in to report: "Dalang, the fireworks signal has been sent, and my son-in-law will come back soon. You have been walking all the way. Why not go to the restaurant first and wait for my son-in-law while having a meal."

Shi Chuan asked casually: "Liao Wu, do you seem to be familiar with this place?"

Liao Wu flipped his hands and replied: "Dalang, I used to be with the eldest lady. After the eldest lady passed away, my son-in-law was afraid that the yamen would cause trouble, so he sent me and Zhang San to take care of the yamen."

This means that this house was where Liao Wu originally lived.

Shi Chuan immediately asked again: "Do you master know this house?"

Liao Wu nodded: "When the eldest lady passed away, the master came to live in this building once and took care of the eldest lady's funeral. He said that although the building was comfortable, it was a kind of a nobility. He was an official, and he was afraid that the censor would impeach him after living there for a long time, so he said goodbye before staying for a long time and left the yamen here to take care of him.

Yanei likes this building very much. When he was young, he ran around the building and liked to hide and seek the most. However, my son-in-law liked quietness and not moving, and usually did not interact with people. The only entertainment was to sail out of the sea and sit idle on the sea. So when Yanei grew up and became wild, the house was so quiet that it was terrible, so he moved to Haizhou City. Fortunately, we also had a ready-made house in Haizhou City. Now, Yanei only occasionally came back to stay for two days."

Shi Chuan walked to the huge window, and he popped up the silk yarn on the window, and smiled and said, "It's not made of glass. This is probably the only regret."

Liao Wu kept smiling, Shi Chuan turned around and asked, "With such a unique building standing by the sea, is it difficult for pirates to come and harass you?"

Liao Wu looked a little unnatural, as if hiding some secret, and replied stutteringly: "There were pirates coming here to rob, but there was a shallow in front of our house, and the big ship could not reach the shore, and we were not afraid of the small boat. Moreover, my son-in-law had his own means. The pirates suffered losses twice, and afterwards, we strengthened the defense on the dock. The pirates could not approach the dock, so the house was naturally safe."

Shi Chuan walked to another window. Looking out from this window, you can see the scene on the pier.

A majestic building is built by the sea, which is very eye-catching. The huge lawn in front of this building is made of Western-style gardens formed by dwarf trees, leaving a huge flat ground in the center, like a playground for gatherings, with a length and width span of about 600 meters. The ground of this playground has been completely hardened, and the stone slabs made of granite are neatly laid - this is about the site where guests can park their carriages during banquets.

In the distance, there are only two ships left. One of them is very Arabic. The mast is standing on the stern, with a huge tail sail hanging on it. The hull is very huge. It seems to be a long-distance ship that carries about 300 tons of cargo. The deck of the ship is just slightly lower than the ground of the anti-wave lift, so that the pulley crane set up on the anti-wave lift can easily lift the cargo directly into the warehouse.

However, the dock was no longer loading and unloading goods, and the porters were empty, and only two or three members were walking around the breakwater. The dock, which was two or three hundred meters wide, had a piece of stone every two or three hundred meters, standing there abruptly. Shi Chuan thought for a while and realized that this was the dock's defensive position.

There is another small boat parked in the bay. This boat is a strange small boat I saw just now. Its size is similar to the fishing boats usually used by fishermen, but the deck is relatively low. It is docked under the breakwater. The stairs extending into the sea are all the way to the lower deck. There is one like this staircase every other section, and the staircase is at the tail end of the breakwater, which happens to be a chest wall for defense... Perhaps this chest wall can also be temporarily installed to hoist the cargo on the ship, because there are many iron beams and other devices embedded in the cracks in the rocks of the chest wall.

This is clearly a small private passenger and cargo wharf unique to modern coastal cities. Each step extending to the seabed is a berth for passenger and cargo ships. In this berth, there are six berths in the entire section of the breakwater, which can be docked at about six ships at the same time.

Such a number of berths seems inconspicuous in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mizhou, but as a private wharf, building such a huge project is simply like a waste of money.

Shi Chuan listened. Next door, the girls were all setting their luggage and moving into such a novel room. They were very excited to each other and kept talking. At this time, Liao Wu bowed again and urged: "Dalang, let's go."

"Then let's go." Shi Chuan followed Liao Wu through the corridor, and heard the laughter and squirming from the girls from the door. When they arrived here, they lived in a large fortress and could breathe freely... Shi Chuan heard the laughter of the girls, and he also smiled silly. He did not intend to interfere, let go of his hands and followed Liao Wu into the restaurant downstairs.

This is another typical baroque restaurant. The huge hall houses a long dining table made of heavy walnut. The dining table is covered with dining cloth, candlesticks, and the same heavy walnut backrest chair. In addition, there are two large fireplaces on one wall, which are what the restaurant should have, and they are all there.

But Liao Wu did not stop in this giant restaurant. He continued to walk to the end of the restaurant, pushing open the thick door there, revealing a small private room inside. Everything in the private room was small, the square table was very small, and the stool was a stool with a ring chair, with only four.

There is also a fireplace in the room, but because the room is small, it must be very warm when the fireplace burns.

Liao Wu explained: "The big restaurant outside is usually served by servants. When Hu merchants came overseas, they sorted out the important crew members and the ship owners. The young master usually eats in this room. He said that the big dining table in the room was too big and it was extremely inconvenient to speak."

After all, I am still a Chinese. Although I am making foreign music to fool the foreigners, when it is really his turn to eat, I still like the atmosphere of the small dining table.

Liao Wuxing gave a greeting: "Dalang, the girls will go back and have dinner in the big restaurant outside. My son-in-law will be in this room and personally entertain Dalang. Dalang, please sit there. I will pick up my son-in-law. Dalang please do whatever he wants."

Shi Chuan agreed casually, and he walked to the dining table and carefully observed the tableware.
