OBS Chapter 222 Quanhu Garden
Chapter 222 Quanhu Garden
Jinan Prefecture is also known as the City of Springs. The city has hundreds of springs, and the scenery is beautiful. Each spring has its own characteristics. In the southeast of the city, there are hot springs. Even in the depths of winter, when it is snowing heavily, the spring water does not freeze and continues to flow.
While in the carriage, Jia Hu listened to his grandfather's description of the scenery of Jinan Prefecture. Jia Hu tried hard to recall it, but it was different from the present day; after all, it was not the same world.
Jia Zhen cried out.
"Can we go to the hot springs today?"
He still really enjoyed the hot spring resort after his first soak there, and he's been wanting to go there since he heard there are hot springs there too.
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"If I have the chance, I will take you there. But we won't go today, because the Quanhu Garden we visited today is very large."
"Brother, how was your trip over there this morning?"
Jia Daihua said:
"Early in the morning, I went to Quanhu Garden with the guard battalion, the governor of Jinan Prefecture, and the prefect of Jinan Prefecture."
It's a large area; the entire garden is built on the lake, with waterways flowing in all directions, and springs connecting each courtyard section.
Because of this, the defense team had to put in a lot of effort. The area was indeed very large, and it would take more than a day to explore it all.
Today we visited places recommended by the prefect of Jinan, places with beautiful scenery and unique, interesting architecture.
Jia Hu was incredibly surprised. With the current technology, it was possible to build an estate on top of a spring, and such a large estate at that, with all the springs connected to each other. What kind of technology was this!
Jia Daihua continued:
"I wonder how many days His Majesty will stay in Jinan Prefecture. According to the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, if His Majesty stays for a long time, he will definitely soak in the hot springs."
The governor of Jinan praised this hot spring to the skies, saying it could prolong life and strengthen the body!
He dared to say such things! I saw the prefect of Jinan trying his best to stop him from saying them.
Jia Daishan:
"If you put it that way, the prefect of Jinan is actually quite intelligent. Yesterday, I saw him being very submissive, unlike his uncle at all."
Judging from the Emperor's behavior yesterday, there shouldn't be any major problems with Jinan Prefecture. Otherwise, the Emperor would definitely have been unable to resist punishing him that very day.
"To manage Jinan Prefecture so well, he's quite talented. It seems his return to the capital is on the horizon."
Jia Daihua said in a low voice:
"It's not that simple. The Emperor has sent many guards to various places. I think the Emperor is going to make a big show of it."
You see, after last night's banquet, quite a few people couldn't wait any longer.
The Emperor is still alive! They've already started placing bets, even local officials have gotten started.
Jia Daihua had already received the news this morning; after the banquet last night, many ministers were still exchanging pleasantries.
It's really tough on them; they managed to get up this morning and go out with the Emperor again.
Jia Hu was stunned. Sure enough, he knew it wouldn't be that simple. Was the emperor planning to make a big move, to intimidate others, and to suppress these people all at once?
Jia Daishan frowned.
"Was the Jinan prefect involved last night?"
Jia Daihua smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"He's fine. He has some minor issues, but they don't bother him."
The prefect of Jinan didn't leave late last night either; he pretended to be drunk and had a headache, and went home first.
He's a smart man; as long as he doesn't get involved in what happens later, he should be fine.
Jia Daishan nodded, then looked at his two grandsons and gave each of them a light tap on the forehead.
"Did you understand? Just stare at me with wide eyes."
Jia Hu understood but couldn't say it, while Jia Zhen truly didn't understand.
Both of them shook their heads, and Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"You don't need to understand these things now. Just remember that we are the Jia family, and that brothers should be of one mind!"
