I'm back in 1990

Chapter 755: From then on, it became one of the five famous stones of Jiangnan.

The show "I'm Back in 1990" is full of classic quotes, so come and find resonance.

Seeing that his father-in-law had chosen to eat at his residence, Huang Erhe used the phone in his room to call the club and asked them to send a chef to cook for him. The club also specifically inquired about the number of people and whether there were any dietary restrictions.

Half an hour later, the two chefs and four assistant chefs and waiters arrived at the villa. They showed the Huang couple the ingredients they had brought before getting to work.

It was only then that Cheng Jing realized how luxurious and convenient the lives of the rich were, and that all of this stemmed from her brother-in-law. Although she saw her brother-in-law at her parents-in-law's house every week and he didn't seem to have anything special about him, he was warm and respectful to her and a very kind person.

Moreover, her in-laws' family simply had a few maids helping with housework. There are many families like this in Shanghai. But after visiting the Huang family's mansion by Taihu Lake today, she gained a deeper understanding of the Huang family's wealth.

The Cheng family was very satisfied with their lunch. Although it didn't feature any delicacies, it used fresh local ingredients, including famous aquatic products like the "Three Whites of Taihu Lake." Combined with the master chef's culinary skills, both the elderly and children enjoyed it.

After dinner, Cheng Ling, the youngest daughter of the Cheng family, asked, "Fourth brother-in-law, what activities are you planning for us this afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Erhe first looked at everyone and then said, "Everyone should rest for a while at noon to recharge. A car will pick us up at two o'clock. In the afternoon, we will visit the garden. The evening is also arranged. There is a dock by the lake, and a boat will come over. Tonight, we can take a night cruise on Taihu Lake and have dinner on the boat."

"Really? That's great!" Cheng Ling was very happy. She thought Huang Erhe was going to take them to visit the gardens in Suzhou.

The children were also very happy, since they rarely went on boats. They heard that they could have dinner on the boat tonight, which sounded very interesting, and they were naturally looking forward to it.

At 2 p.m., the whole family arrived at the gate of the courtyard and found that the cars that came to pick them up were actually several Golf cars with open windows on all four sides.

Cheng Ling pointed to the golf carts and asked, "Fourth brother-in-law, are we going to Suzhou in these cars?"

"We're not going to Suzhou, it's just ahead, you'll find out soon enough!" Huang Erhe deliberately kept it a secret from everyone to give them a surprise. Only Cheng Jing had already learned from the man that there was a very beautiful garden here, and it covered a very large area. However, because there were so many trees, they could only vaguely see the eaves of some pavilions and towers in the direction Huang Erhe was pointing.

The rest of the family members were puzzled. Could there be a garden here? They completely forgot that Huang Erhe had told them that his parents lived in a garden when they arrived that morning.

After driving for about seven or eight minutes, the golf cart passed through a stone wall and stopped in front of a spacious, grand, and antique-style gate with a plaque that read "Lake Hermitage".

Upon seeing the gate, the Cheng family was stunned. Just from this gate alone, they knew that the garden behind it must be extraordinary. Furthermore, the garden inside Huang Erhe's villa was already incredibly beautiful, so this garden, which was hundreds of times larger, would naturally be even more magnificent.

After Huang Erhe led the Cheng family through the gate and around the screen wall, the view suddenly opened up before them. In front of them was a pool of clear water, and a group of koi carp were swimming towards them in the crystal-clear pond.

"This..." Cheng Li pointed at the garden with a surprised expression, not knowing what to say.

Cheng Yishan asked Huang Erhe with an incredulous look, "Erhe, is this also your family's?"

Huang Erhe nodded: "Yes, when my parents, my maternal grandmother, and my uncle came here, they stayed in the villa here."

Cheng Jie, the third daughter of the Cheng family, was deeply shocked. As a former tour guide, she had visited many gardens and was certain that this garden was no less impressive than famous gardens like the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden. However, those were all public gardens open to the public, while this garden was a rare private garden.

There are no bustling tourists here, only this family, which gives the garden a serene and elegant beauty, making people feel what it means to live a peaceful and tranquil life.

Cheng Jie asked, "How big is this garden?"

"It covers an area of ​​about 20,000 square meters, more than 30 mu!" Huang Erhe told the Cheng family everything he knew without reservation.

"Wow!" Huang Erhe's answer elicited exclamations from Cheng's children.

Then Cheng's parents exchanged a silent glance, realizing that they really knew too little about the Huang family.

On the opposite bank of the pond is an artificial mountain made of Taihu stones, with a unique and rugged shape. There is a pavilion on the top of the artificial mountain, and a winding stone path leads to the pavilion.

The children in the family were very interested in the artificial hill. If they hadn't been restrained by the adults, they would have rushed up to it long ago.

Huang Erhe led the way while explaining things to the Cheng family.

"It is said that this garden was specially designed by experts in ancient architecture and landscape masters. Many of its landscapes and buildings are inspired by the Lingering Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden. Moreover, there is an artificial rockery in the villa where my grandmother lived, which can be compared with the Crown Cloud Peak in the Lingering Garden. We will see it in a little while."

Cheng Jie was startled. As a former tour guide, she naturally knew about the four famous stones of Jiangnan. Guanyun Peak in Liuyuan Garden was one of them. The other three were Yulinglong in Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai, Zhouyun Peak in Hangzhou, and Ruiyun Peak in the former site of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, now the Suzhou No. 10 Middle School.

If what Huang Erhe said is true, then wouldn't the Four Famous Stones of Jiangnan have to be changed to the Five Famous Stones of Jiangnan?

As the group listened to Huang Erhe's explanation, they followed him to an open hall called Tingyuxuan. The hall was furnished with Ming-style furniture and had a huge floor-to-ceiling lattice window. Outside the window was a courtyard, perfectly embodying the exquisite beauty of Suzhou-style gardens where there are scenes within scenes and scenery within scenery.

After they entered a more open courtyard, the view suddenly opened up. The main building here is called "Yuanxiang Hall". In front of the hall is an open platform that directly faces the main scenic spot of the garden, "Taihu Lake". This place was originally an inner bay of Taihu Lake. There are many weeping willows along the lake, which are sprouting buds and look like a tender green gauze curtain from a distance.

Cheng Li, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, linked arms with Sun Jianshe and whispered to him, "I feel like I'm dreaming. Even TV dramas don't portray things like this, do they?"

Sun Jianshe was also speechless at this moment. He truly felt the strength of his brother-in-law's family. If he had to describe it in one sentence, it would be "unfathomable"!

The group walked and looked around, and time flew by. About an hour later, they arrived at a secluded courtyard called "Yunyinju" where the strange rock "Yunyin Peak" was located.

When Cheng Jie saw the 7.2-meter-tall Taihu stone, she was utterly astonished. Huang Erhe hadn't lied to her; this extraordinary stone was truly remarkable.

She circled the Cloud Hidden Peak a few times, and couldn't resist touching it a few times. She sighed in her heart that there was now one more of the four famous stones in Jiangnan. In the future, we should talk about the five famous stones of Jiangnan. The four famous stones have become a thing of the past.

The whole family enjoyed a relaxed and pleasant visit. There were no crowds of tourists, only family members and the park staff. They strolled around, stopping occasionally to take photos and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting.

Huang Erhe led the Cheng family to the dock and boarded the cruise ship that had been waiting there.
