Chapter 40: Chapter 39 Tang Garden

Chen Afu went to Mingshui Town early in the morning to buy food ingredients, accompanied by Dabao. Mingshui Town is six miles east of Xiangluo Village, passing through Shangshui Village, and even passed by that noble's manor.

Mrs. Wang said that the manor is called Tang Garden, and it seems that the owner's surname is Chu. He was originally from the Capital City, then moved to the capital city, and half of the households in Shangshui Village rent paddy fields from his family. Mrs. Wang heard this from Mrs. Changgen; Wu Changgen and his son are carpenters, and the manager of Tang Garden occasionally goes to Wu's house to buy tables, chairs, buckets, and basins.

The small road to the town is more than three hundred meters away from Tang Garden, with a bamboo forest and grassland in between. From a distance, one can see the large garden with pink walls and gray tiles, flying eaves and pointed corners, nestled among green trees and bamboo.
