- The welcome luncheon will be held at the Prince's Mansion in Zhouqiao.
After the luxury carriage passed the Zhouqiao Bridge, Zhao Hao saw a brand-new five-column archway with four big words on it: "Brothers are No. 2"!
Now that he is quite knowledgeable, he can recognize Wang Shizhen¡¯s handiwork at a glance.
After passing through this archway, there is another one at the back with the inscription "Huiyuan Ranking No. 2" written on it.
The first archway boasts that Wang Xijue and Wang Dingjue both won the second place, and the latter one boasts that Wang Xijue first won the first place and then the second place.
Of course, it is indeed worth boasting about, after all, this is a story that is still talked about hundreds of years later.
"It's a blessing for a family to have such an archway." Wang Mengxiang, who was riding with him, still had more to say:
"Normally we should be content if good things come in pairs, but there are three births of all things, and I always feel that there are three archways to achieve perfection."
"It's still three lives and three lives," Zhao Hao complained in his heart.
"But in another thirty years, Wang Xijue's son Wang Heng will stage another good show of father and son taking second place.
Thinking of the future, after the two archways, there will be another archway for "father and son", Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh to himself, Lao Wang's family is really destined to be second.
But it is estimated that by then Lao Wangtou will regret that there is no champion in his family.
People will never be satisfied anyway
??~~
The carriage drove directly into the majestic two-story gatehouse of the Wang family, which was five rooms wide, and stopped in the extra-large sedan hall that could accommodate five sedans at the same time.
Wearing a green felt hat, it describes a capable servant who opens the car door, puts the pedals in place, and helps the master and distinguished guests get out of the car.
Then Wang Mengxiang led Zhao Hao and others along the long double-eaves corridor to the Jianshan Hall where the banquet was held.
Along the way, Zhao Hao discovered that the shapes and styles of all the flower windows in those ordinary corridors were completely different.
Looking into the garden through the square, round, fan-shaped, or 10,000-character, crabapple, or Kui-patterned windows, one can only see one scene at a time outside the window. Each window is a wonderful landscape painting.
Zhao Hao then knew that the Wang family¡¯s magnanimity was no longer on the surface, but hidden in their bones. Completely washed away the face of the nouveau riche, and cultivated the connotation of a wealthy family.
"Otherwise, no matter how rich he is, Wang Shizhen will not join the family line with them, right?"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but wake up secretly. He should restrain himself in the future and don't want to stick the words "I am rich" on his face.
Although the Ming Dynasty worshiped money as much as it did four hundred years later, the aesthetics and style of society continued to be passed down.
The newly rich rich can imitate millennium-old families like the Langya Wang family. Their aesthetics will not be deviated, let alone the beauty of glittering gold and piling up ostentation.
After studying like this for a long time, the new rich will gradually acquire connotation and become a new aristocratic family.
??~~
The Jianshan Hall where the banquet is held is five rooms wide, with eaves one and a half feet high. It has a spaciousness that is rare in Jiangnan architecture.
Sitting in the hall and looking out, there is no common lotus pond pavilion outside, but a huge rockery with a height of more than two feet and a circumference of more than ten feet.
It has green grass, blooming flowers, gurgling water, and chirping birds, just like a real mountain.
"Uh, okay, take back what I said" Mr. Zhao secretly slapped his face and said: "The urge to show off wealth is really human instinct, and you can never give up." ¡¯
Seeing Zhao Hao¡¯s eyes widening, Wang Mengxiang couldn¡¯t brag about it himself.
"You still have Yufeng Mountain in Kunshan, but we really have no mountain in Taicang." Wang Shimao, who was sitting next to him, introduced with a smile:
"My uncle's grandfather, Duke Xinjiang, vowed to build a mountain for me in Taicang by building up soil from all directions and moving stones from Taihu Lake to control Feng Shui."
Zhao Haoxin said, this kind of thing seems not very auspicious. Just like Gen Yue
¡°But after building this mountain, Lao Wang¡¯s family seems to be getting more and more prosperous.
Forget it, forget about unscientific things.
He then praised: "Jianshan Hall is well-deserved"
"Hahaha." Wang Mengxiang laughed happily and said: "It's far worse than my nephew. I heard from Mr. Wenshan that in Jinling, you built a pond and a tower on a real mountain to build the largest private garden in the world. Woolen cloth."
Wen Zhengming¡¯s sons made a living by designing courtyards for the rich, appraising antiques, and accompanying guests, and they wandered among the rich and powerful. Naturally, the Wang family is also a frequent visitor.
"Mr. Wenshan is too exaggerated. No matter how big Xiaocang Mountain is, it is still a barren mountain. It can't be considered a garden." Zhao Hao said with a modest smile.
"Why do you need to be so humble, doctor? Who doesn't know the Ming Dynasty today? You have a keen eye."Torch can be seen but not by ordinary people. A pair of wonderful hands can turn stone into gold. "Wang Shimao also smiled and echoed:
"When the garden is completed in the future, we must be allowed to come to congratulate it and have a panoramic view of the world's beautiful scenery."
"Yes, I will be shameless when the time comes. I will stay here for a few days so that I can come back and brag to others." Wang Mengxiang laughed.
The people accompanying the guests in the hall also praised Zhao Hao, and they were a little embarrassed because of Mr. Zhao's face.

When the beautiful maid served the wine and food, Wang Mengxiang personally held the pot to pour wine for Zhao Hao.
"You can't do it!" The three apprentices stood up and shouted: "The master is still underage!"
"My master can just drink juice." Hua Shuyang poured freshly squeezed bayberry juice for Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao smiled apologetically and said: "I'm sorry, my father is too strict in discipline. I don't dare to drink until the ban is lifted."
"Oh, haha, Zhao Zhuangyuan is too harsh" Wang Mengxiang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter what you drink, the feelings are the same."
Then he poured wine for himself and Wang Shimao, stood up with the wine, and led the crowd to welcome Zhao Hao's arrival.
After finishing the drink, the maid poured a second glass of wine for the old man. Wang Mengxiang picked it up and said gratefully to Zhao Hao:
"Quinzi won the second place again this time, all thanks to Dr. Zhao's careful teaching. I saw a letter from his eldest brother saying that the kid stayed at the doctor's house for food and accommodation. It was really troublesome for the doctor."
As he said that, Mr. Wang drank with Zhao Hao again, took his hand and said sincerely: "I really don't know how to thank the doctor. Gold, silver and jewelry are too tacky, and antique calligraphy and paintings are not to the doctor's liking."
Zhao Hao was deeply pleased when he heard this. It seems that Jinyang has told his father that he no longer likes antiques with poor liquidity.
As for gold, silver and jewelry, I don¡¯t have any shortage of them either. But that love is eternal
"It just so happened that your father arrived in Kunshan for the first time, and your county was hit by floods again. How about I donate some food to alleviate Zhao Zhuangyuan's worries?" Wang Mengxiang said sincerely.
"My family, Wu Yang and Shu Yang, were the first to study with doctors, and now they are both talented in high school. Although the Han family's financial resources are far less than those of my uncle's family, their intentions are the same. Let us also try our best to donate a little to your county."
"This" Although Zhao Hao knew that things were not that simple, he still felt very useful.
The other party knew why he was here, and not only did he not avoid seeing him, he even took the initiative to donate food as soon as he arrived. In addition to letting him drink with peace of mind, it also gave Mr. Zhao a lot of face.
"Then I'll be disrespectful and thank you for your kindness on behalf of the Kunshan elders." Zhao Hao quickly stood up and looked solemn, bowing deeply to the two of them respectively.
"Hey, doctor, don't be polite." Wang Mengxiang hurriedly supported him and said with a sincere smile: "We are as close as one family, how can we distinguish each other?"
"Thank you very much." Zhao Hao thanked him again.
