1 The faint fragrance of sandalwood fills the surroundings. Dots of sunlight shine through the hollow carved windows. Looking carefully, there is a soft wooden bed under the body, with exquisite carved decorations. She was extraordinary. She was wearing a brocade quilt. Turning sideways, an ancient woman's boudoir came into view. The guqin stood in the corner, and the bronze mirror was placed on the wooden dressing table. The whole room was so fresh and relaxing. 2 There is a large rosewood marble case in the middle of the room. On the case are various famous people's dharma stickers, dozens of inkstones, various brush holders, and a sea of ??pens inserted like a forest. On the other side is a large Ru kiln flower bag, filled with white chrysanthemums filled with crystal balls. In the middle of the west wall hangs a large-scale painting of Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain", and on the left and right hangs a couplet, written in Yan Lugong's ink, with the following words: "Misty and hazy leisurely bones, spring and stone wild life". There is a big cauldron on the case. On the red sandalwood shelf on the left is a large plate from a large official kiln, containing dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha hands. There is a white jade chime hanging on the foreign paint shelf on the right, and a small hammer hangs next to it. The couch is a step-by-step bed with a gauze curtain hung with green double embroidery of flowers and insects. It gives the impression that it is wide overall but densely packed with details, and is full of a natural and elegant bookish atmosphere. 3 I slowly opened my eyes, and what I saw was a pink-yellow curtain, and the twilight was slightly cool. The top of the head is covered with tassels, swaying gently in the wind. He moved uncomfortably, only to find that the bed beneath him was cold and hard. Even though the complicated and gorgeous Yunluo silk was spread under him like rippling water, it was always soft but extremely thin. From time to time, there is a burst of red sandalwood fragrance, which is quiet and beautiful. Next to the couch is the window, with exquisite carvings and rare wood. There is a beautiful scenery outside the window, including rockeries, small ponds, blue lotus roots, and pink water lilies. From time to time, a maid passed by, but her footsteps were very light and her conversations were also very light. 4. There are five rooms in the main entrance. The upper tiles are made of mud ridges, and the doors, bars and windows are all finely carved with fresh patterns, without vermilion paint. The walls are all of the same color, and the white stone platform below is carved into passion flower patterns. Looking left and right, you can see everything. The snow-white powder wall, with tiger-skin stones underneath, was built with the momentum. Looking ahead, you can see the white stones, which look like ghosts or beasts, standing vertically and horizontally. The tops are moss-covered and covered with wisteria, and a small path of sheep intestines is exposed in them. Enter the stone cave. Coming in, I saw lush green trees, shining exotic flowers, and a clear stream, twisting and flowing from the depths of the flowers and trees under the stone gaps. After a few more steps, gradually towards the north, it was flat and wide, with flying buildings and carved holes on both sides. The embroidered sills are all hidden in the mountains and between the tree branches. Looking down, you can see the clear stream pouring snow, stone steps piercing the clouds, white stone railings, surrounding the edge of the pool, three stone bridges, and beasts holding vomit in their faces. There are Pavilion. 5 The courtyard is surrounded by pink walls, with green willows hanging all around, three gates with hanging flowers, and hand-curved verandahs on all sides. In the courtyard, the corridors connect to each other, the mountains and rocks are dotted, and the five buildings have a plaque with the words "Yi Hong Kuai Lu" hanging on them. The entire courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with clusters of flowers, clear and exquisite, and the backyard is full of roses, treasures and a pool. Qinfang Creek joins here and flows out of the Grand View Garden. There is a white stone road across the Qinfang Creek that leads to the other side. It turns out that there are exquisitely carved wooden boards on all sides, with various patterns such as "Hundred Bats in Flowing Clouds", "Three Friends of Suihan", landscape figures, feathers and flowers, collections, ancient books, and longevity, all carved by famous hands. , colorful and gold-embedded treasures. Each branch has a place for storing books, a tripod, a place for pens and inkstones, a vase for flowers, or a place for bonsai. There are various types of jade, some with a round sky and a square, some with sunflowers and banana leaves, or some with a chain of half jade. It is really a cluster of flowers, translucent and exquisite. Suddenly, the five-color gauze is covered with silk, and it is tied to the small window; suddenly, the colorful silk is lightly covered, and it is tied to the secluded door. The walls are covered with grooves cut out in the shape of antique toys. Such as harps, swords, hanging bottles, tables and screens, etc., although they are hung on the wall, they are all flush with the wall. 6 The whole room was hung with crimson Turkish tapestry embellished with gold flowers. In the recess of the room, there is something like a couch, with several Arabian swords placed on it. The scabbards are gold-plated, and the hilts are inlaid with crystal-clear gems. A Venetian glass lamp hangs from the ceiling. The colors and colors are all charming; the Turkish carpet under your feet is ankle-deep; several door curtains hang down in front of the door, and another door leads to the second room, which seems to be illuminated magnificently. 7 The entrance is a winding verandah, and the stones under the steps form a corridor. There are two or three small rooms above, one is light and the other is dark, and inside are beds, chairs and tables built in the same location. There is another small door from the inner room, and out is the backyard, with large pear blossoms and plantains. There are two more small steps down. Suddenly a gap opened under the wall of the backyard, and a clear spring came out. The ditch was only a few feet long, and it poured into the wall. It went around the steps from the house to the front yard and spiraled out under the bamboo. 8 The whole room was hung with crimson Turkish tapestry embellished with gold flowers.

The colors and colors are all charming; the Turkish carpet under your feet is ankle-deep; several door curtains hang down in front of the door, and another door leads to the second room, which seems to be illuminated magnificently. 9 The room was very tidy, with a simple bed placed in the corner. There was a checkerboard pattern curtain on one end, but there was only a whitewashed wall on the other end. The floor was paved with mud bricks and was spotless, but it was very damp, as if it would never dry out after the last time it was washed. The window of the basement faced the street. To avoid children throwing stones, a blind was installed, and it was hung with strange-shaped weeds collected from the fence, the edge of the ditch and the fields...
Herbs were hung everywhere in the house, and the light was blocked; as the herbs dried, they gave off an unpleasant smell. 10 The furnishings of this room are simple, yet gorgeous. The room is circular, with a ring of fixed benches against the walls. The benches, walls, and ceilings are all covered with magnificent animal skins, which are as soft as the most precious carpets when you step on them; among them are Atlas lion skins with fluffy manes, striped Bengal skins, and so on. tiger skins, Capo's leopard skins dotted with beautiful dots that appeared before Dante, Siberian bear skins, and Norwegian fox skins; these skins are all thickly laid one on top of the other. , it seems like walking on a racecourse with the lushest grass, or lying on the most luxurious bed. 11 The dark window faces the same courtyard and is equipped with the same fence. There is a spider web that may be twenty-five years old between the railings. The twenty-five-year-old curtain, which was originally green, is nostalgic for the The sun has faded now. Next to the window was the same black table, covered with a tablecloth that was also green earlier but was now full of spots. On the table were a large black inkstand and a large bottle of black anti-drench powder, both fixed on a stand; there were also a pair of brass candlesticks, which no one used to light candles anymore. No one uses the copper scissors used to cut candle wicks anymore. There was an iron bed with a thin mattress, and a double-barreled shotgun that had never been used hung on it. Under the bed, there is a six-string box that looks like a small coffin. A narrow leather couch, two leather chairs, a large tin washbasin and a small dark cherry red cupboard made up the furniture in this room. Due to the long and narrow terrain, this room is often shrouded in darkness. It looks more like a tomb than a room. 12 This is a clean and elegant room. A Simmons double bed was placed in the middle of the room, covered with a white bedspread embroidered with small flowers. On the left are a pair of exquisite small sofas and a bedside table. On the cabinet is a small table lamp made of stacked shells. On the right is a light green refrigerator with a set of carved glass drinking glasses. On the wall in the middle of the room hangs a large color photo... 13 On the wall hangs a drapery embroidered with hunting pictures using gold and silver silk threads. The embroidery work was considered the most exquisite at the time. The bed was covered with an equally rich silk coverlet, and a short purple curtain hung around it. The chairs also have colorful covers, and one of them is particularly tall, with a carved ivory footstool in front of it. There were at least four silver lamp stands with tall candles lighting up the room, illuminating the whole room. 14 This study seems so extraordinary and quiet. The air is average and warm. The fire also slowly glowed with red light. The walls are white, and there are some silver patterns printed on the white paper. The two bookshelves are also white, and there are many books with gold letters shining beautifully on them. And there is a pot of asparagus grass lined up on the bookshelf. The grass has grown more than three feet long and hangs down like a fragrant vine. The small green leaves faintly cover some books. On the exquisite writing table, there are several English books, a marble ink tank, a small and exquisite calendar, and a piece of "Hope" set in a silver-gray copper frame. These decorations and sentiments clearly show that the owner of this study has a very high interest in everything... 15 Enter Bingru's guest room. This is a Western-style room: above the fireplace, there is a copied oil painting hanging horizontally. The painting is of a young girl, leaning on one hand, her beautiful eyes drooping slightly, thinking there. Two large sofas of different styles but equally comfortable, separated by eights, were placed in front of the fireplace. Opposite is an exquisite piano table. In a vase after the rain and the sky are clear, there are a few wintersweets that have not yet fully bloomed. Four screen strips of Wu Changshuo's cursive script are hung on the wall inside. They are vivid and concise, and the whole picture is more interesting than looking at each word one by one. Under the wall is a coffee table and two chairs with low backrests. There is a round table in the center, surrounded by four round chairs. The floor is carpeted. The light came in from between the two tall and wide windowsills, making the whole room very bright. A wall clock in front of the right wall plays a light and gentle tone. 16 The shadows of the trees moved on the carpet, and the fragrant smoke from the Daxuan furnace continued to rise. The wall clothes on the east side are bathed in the sun's rays, and the golden brocade attached to them reflects a dazzling brilliance. Hanging in the middle hall is an ink dragon by Chen Suoweng, with teeth and claws spread out and about to fly down. On the west wall is a landscape painting of horses and animals. The soft and soft brushstrokes are almost protruding from the silk surface, making people forget that they are sitting in a house in Beijing. 17 The wall is painted with colorful patterns of small light blue squares, surrounded by a gilded, ornate frame, with exquisite flowers and fruits carved on the corners, and a fat little cupid flying freely on it. The ceiling was painted with a splendid caisson, surrounding a cluster of lamps in the center - electric bulbs interspersed among the gleaming prisms and gilded plaster leaves. The floor was waxed and polished, giving off a reddish light, and there were mirrors all around - tall, bright and clean mirrors beside the car - reflecting each other, reflecting countless figures, faces and lamp stands. The dining table itself is not very outstanding, but the tablecloth is printed with the name of the hotel, the silverware is engraved with the Tefena brand, and the china has the name of the Haverland factory. The light under the small red lampshade illuminates such utensils, as well as the guests' The color of the wall reflected in the clothes and face made the dining table look eye-catching. 18 A huge white marble banquet hall: red curtains, shiny inlaid floors, many tables placed in the middle of green columns, gold, silver, and glassware gleaming on the white tablecloths.
There is a long table on the high platform, about a hundred feet long from one end of the hall to the other. The other tables are arranged in rows at right angles to the high platform. Two magnificent giant chandeliers hung from the high red and golden ceiling, and the countless frosted glass round lights on the chandeliers shined brightly. There are also ornately decorated sconces shining brightly on the walls. 19 The house is also very different from ordinary farmhouses. In most farmhouses, there is a broken bed in the pawn room, with chopping boards, pans and other sundries placed on the bed. This place looks a bit like a landlord's house, with a table and an Eight Immortals table in the middle, and a grand master's chair on each side, which is also covered with red cloth cushions. The big self-ringing clock on the table was polished to a bright shine. The partition doors on both sides were hung with white curtains, and the furnishings in the inner room were blocked. 20 Red bricks, green window lattice, white railings, light yellow tiles... This is a typical Beijing-style "siheyuan" with three families living in it. In the middle of four gray brick bungalows facing each other is a small rectangular courtyard paved with gray bricks. There is a flower bed built in the middle of the courtyard, with more than a dozen pots of blooming chrysanthemums placed on it. Next to the flower bed, the red crabapple tree, which is more than one foot tall, has its branches pruned to a moderate density, making the entire courtyard look more primitive and quiet. Only when the breeze blows and the dead leaves falling from the potted chrysanthemum and crabapple trees rustle on the ground, the silence in the courtyard is occasionally broken. 21 The gauze curtains hang low, creating a hazy atmosphere. The surrounding stone walls are covered with brocade, and even the roof of the room is separated by embroidered felt, which is both warm and welcoming. The furnishings are also used in girls' boudoirs. They are extremely luxurious, with carefully carved jade-inlaid gums, brocade quilts and embroidered quilts. There are also small sachets hanging on the curtain hooks, exuding a faint fragrance. 1 The faint fragrance of sandalwood fills the surroundings, and tiny bits of sunlight shine through the hollow carved windows. After a closer look, there is a soft wooden bed under me. The exquisite carvings decorate it. It is extraordinary. The bed is covered with brocade quilt. Turning sideways, an ancient woman's boudoir comes into view. The guqin stands in the corner, and the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dressing table.
