Jiangnan garden is the world, Suzhou garden is Jiangnan.

Jiang Lai followed behind his senior brother Shi Daochen, he was a road idiot, and he was worried that he would walk away in the classical garden of the mountains and forests at this step if he was careless.

However, because this garden is too delicate and ingenious, with rockeries and winding paths, it is completely natural, and there is no carved atmosphere, which attracts Jiang Lai to stop and appreciate it again and again.

The avenue is three thousand, and in the end, it is still a "return to the sect". Whether it is antique restoration or garden design, the most important thing is the word "skill". The ingenuity of the world is heavenly, which is the realm pursued by pure craftsmen throughout their lives.

Jiang Lai felt that he didn't need to pursue it, because he already had it.

The current mentality is to appreciate and judge.

Shi Daochen stopped, looked at Jiang Lai, who stopped in front of an old plum tree, and said, "If you like it, take a closer look." ”

"I heard that there is a Yuanxiangtang in the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou by the lake, and there is a small island in the center of the lake, and there is a "Snow Fragrance Cloud Pavilion on the island". Jiang Lai stretched out his hand and stroked the rough and strong branches of the old plum tree, and said, "When the snow falls, will the plum blossoms be countless times more beautiful than here?"

"Snow fragrance" refers to plum blossoms, and "Yunwei" means flowers and trees flourishing. There is a pavilion on the isolated island in the middle of the lake where the wild water loops and the wild is full of interest, the pavilion is planted with plums, the green calyx is white, the birds are singing, and the pine and bamboo are covered. When the first snow falls, thousands of trees and plum blossoms bloom, how fragrant and beautiful is that? How simple and pleasant?

Shi Daochen looked at Jiang Lai with a smile, and was no longer surprised by his behavior, and said loudly: "It's not the season to enjoy plum blossoms yet, in two or three months, then the blue sea should have its first snow." When the first snowflakes fall, I will accompany you to Suzhou to enjoy the plum blossoms, and go to the Humble Administrator's Garden to see the snow-fragrant Yunwei Pavilion. ”

"Snow Fragrance Cloud Pavilion. Jiang Lai recited these words softly in his mouth, and said loudly: "With this name, it is worth a trip." ”

"Of course. Shi Daochen nodded in affirmation.

Jiang Lai retracted his gaze and said, "Let's go, don't let people wait for a long time." ”

"Didn't you turn around three times in one step, eager to stand there and watch for hours without moving the ground?" Shi Daochen said with a smile: "I'm going to send a message to Mr. Wen, and I'm going to postpone the agreed time by two hours." ”

"No need. Jiang said. "Look at it after work, otherwise there will be worries in my heart, and I won't be happy. ”

"Good. Shi Daochen nodded and said, "If you like it, I will say hello to Mr. Wen in a while and ask him to prepare a guest room for you in this garden." You live in it and watch it for as long as you want. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

"Why?"

"It's too remote here, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy hot soy milk fritters. Jiang Lai said with a worried face.

“……”

Mr. Wen's name is Wen Liangping, and his surname is very elegant, but he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a stout physique. Looks and surnames don't match each other very well.

Wearing a black Tang shirt, a pure white jade plaque carved with great light shining on Guanyin hangs around his neck, and a string of blue turquoise stones on his wrist, giving people the impression of a nouveau riche who hangs all his belongings on his body.

Seeing the arrival of Jiang Lai and Shi Daochen's brothers, Wen Liangping hurriedly greeted him, grabbed Shi Daochen's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, I have been waiting for a long time." The best Da Hong Pao I brewed with my own hands was cold, wasting a pot of good tea. ”

"It's to blame Mr. Wen. Shi Daochen stretched out his hand and shook Wen Liangping's big hand, and quietly explained the reason why he was late: "You built the garden so beautifully, you deliberately didn't want us to enter the door, right? Every attraction has to be admired, and every turn has to be turned back and walked again. If I hadn't been urging and pulling, I'm afraid Wen would have to wait for his beard to turn white before he could see the guests. ”

Mr. Wen was overjoyed, his mouth was about to smile, and he ran up and took Jiang Lai's hand and said, "This is the legendary "Ghost Hand Descendant" Master Jiang, right?"

"I'm Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai reached out and shook his hand, and then regretfully wanted to withdraw his hand.

He has sweaty hands!

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wen was too enthusiastic and excited, so he refused to let go of Jiang Lai's hand, and said excitedly: "Master Jiang is a national player, have you found anything that needs to be improved in my small garden along the way?"

"Yes. Jiang Lai nodded and said.

Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, and then his smile became even brighter, and he said: "I'll just say, a master is a master, and you can see the flaws at a glance." Tell me, you say, what needs to be improved?"

"I can't say. Jiang Lai shook his head and refused.

"Why can't you say it? Master, don't be stingy, please speak up. After a pause, as if remembering something, he said, "Don't worry, master, I am a person who understands the rules." I have prepared the moisturizer, and I will definitely not disappoint the master. ”

"It has nothing to do with money. Jiang said.

"Why can't you say that?" Mr. Wen looked at Jiang Lai with a confused expression, and then turned to look at Shi Daochen.

Shi Daochen smiled and did not take any stubble, as if he was an inconsequential bystander.

Jiang Lai pointed to the white jade plate on Mr. Wen's chest and said, "Because of Mr. Wen's jade card." ”

"Jade plate?" Mr. Wen looked down at the jade plate strung by silk threads on his chest and asked, "What's wrong with this jade plate?

"This jade plaque is inlaid with great light shining on Guanyin, in the Buddhist scriptures, this Guanyin main breaking the three obstacles of the Asura path. There are many suspicions and doubts in this way, so it is advisable to use general illumination. Jiang looked at Wen Liangping's facial features and said, "Mr. Wen's appearance seems to be heroic and magnificent, but in fact, he is easy to be suspicious in his heart. The reason why I asked this jade plaque to come back was also because I thought that "people can't save themselves, and the Bodhisattva crosses it". ”

"Mr. Wen didn't care about my brother's tardiness on the surface, but the cup of herbal tea that was poured out still revealed complaints and condemnation. Originally, Mr. Wen was already angry with our senior brothers in my heart, if I recklessly love Mr. Wen like a treasure, and I am extremely proud and proud of the garden, at that time, I am afraid that the two sides will not end well, right? Moreover, if I guess correctly, Mr. Wen asked me to criticize and suggest, and it really made me praise and praise, right?"

Seeing that I was reluctant to speak, Mr. Wen immediately promised to moisten my mouth with money. On the surface, it seems to be humbly seeking advice, but in fact, I belittled my brothers and sisters to those "cheats" who will do whatever it takes to make money. If I agree, will it make Mr. Wen think that our senior brother is such a villain?"
