Chapter 19: The Tang Dynasty

Similar episodes, Ji Lin often passes by in the United States, but every time Ji Lin will destroy the flowers with his hands, nipping the fantasies of one beautiful woman after another in the bud.

After 5,000 years of immortality, Ji Lin has also experienced several unforgettable feelings, especially the retrospective with Master Li that spans thousands of years, which makes Ji Lin very sad.

Something like this, Ji Lin really doesn't want to continue to go through, the process of watching his beloved slowly grow old and eventually turn into pink and dry bones is too cruel.

"I ......"

"Ji Lin, I have a lot of antiques from the Tang and Song dynasties in my house, so you don't want to enter and visit?"

Seeing that Ji Lin was going to refuse, Shangguan Xue didn't know what was going on with her, so she didn't think about it without thinking about it, and blurted out between the ghosts and gods.

"Tang and Song antiques?"

Hearing this, Ji Lin hesitated slightly, and suddenly thought of what the old brother and old man mentioned to him, about Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong" copybook about to appear in the Xiangjiang auction.

"At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the mountains and rivers were broken, and many antiques were annihilated, maybe I can find the news of the teacher from Shangguan Xue's family?"

In Shangguan Xue's expectant gaze, Ji Lin pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "Then bother." ”

Shangguan Xue's home is somewhat similar in style to Ji Lin's Lingxiao Pavilion in Huanhuaxi.

From the outside, it is full of modern and high-tech atmosphere, but on the inside, it is antique and elegant to the extreme.

"Since the West has moved eastward, the great wave of the West has swept through China, and even Shu is difficult to be an exception."

"This place can completely integrate the Tang Dynasty style and Western modern design, I don't know which designer this villa came from?"

After stepping into the villa, seeing that although the overall style is mainly gray and green, there is no sense of grayness, the layout is gorgeous but not delicate, stretched but not ostentatious, simple but full of vitality, Ji Lin couldn't help but admire.

Most of the people who have come to Shangguan Xue's house will feel amazing.

But they only know that this is the style of ancient costumes, and Ji Lin is the first person to be able to express the essence of it in one sentence, which makes Shangguan Xue admire Ji Lin more and more in her heart.

"The designer of this villa was designed by Master Zhao Wuji, an overseas Chinese living in New York, USA." Shangguan Xue said this famous name with respectful eyes.

Zhao Wuji was born in the first year of the Republic of China, and studied under Liang Sicheng and Lin Weiyin, and was a famous architect in China during the Republic of China.

Seventy years ago, Zhao Wuji somehow, when his career was in full swing, gave up everything and went to the United States to create the world's top 500 enterprises "Tiangong Construction".

So powerful, 100-year-old but often mountaineering and traveling, the body is healthy so that the young man is embarrassed, his legends and deeds are widely spread among the people, but few people have seen the deity.

In the past 70 years, Zhao Wuji's career center has been abroad, and although he has also left some designs in China, they are all national-level projects.

It is extremely rare to get a private villa designed by his old man.

Judging from this point alone, Ji Lin understood that the Shangguan family where Shangguan Xue was located was not simple.

"Ji Lin, if you are interested, I can help you contact Tiangong Construction, although it is impossible for Senior Zhao to take action in person, but his disciples and grandchildren are still very powerful."

Seeing that Ji Lin seemed to be "excited", the corners of Shangguan Xue's mouth were slightly "up", and she said a little proudly.

Zhao Wuji's disciples are all internationally renowned design masters, and it is not just a matter of money to allow them to design private villas themselves.

This "temptation" is not insignificant to ordinary people, but for Ji Lin, it is not attractive.

"I didn't expect this kid Wuji to still be in the world?" Touching his nose, Ji Lin was a little relieved.

When it comes to the famous craftsmen of Middle Earth, most people will think of the famous craftsmen of the Lu State in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, that is, Lu Ban!

But what few people know is that Lu Ban's wife is also an excellent craftsman, and many of Lu Ban's inventions and creations are inseparable from his wife Yun's figure.

Yun's full name is Zhao Qiaoyun, a native of Qi in the late Spring and Autumn Period, since marrying a husband who lost the class, she is a strange woman that Ji Lin admires very much.

The oil umbrella that Ji Lin sent to Guan Xue home was from Zhao Qiaoyun.

In those days, the team built a "kiosk" on the side of the road for passers-by to rest and shelter from the rain.

Zhao Qiaoyun took pity on her husband for being rain or shine, and used the "pavilion" as inspiration to create a tool that can shelter from the rain and sun while moving, that is, an "umbrella".

Zhao Wuji is the descendant of Zhao Qiaoyun, and he is also left by Ji Lin's friends, inheriting the family through the ages.

In this case, if Ji Lin wants to summon Zhao Wuji, it is just a phone call, so why do you need to contact Tiangong Construction through Shangguan Xue?

"I understand your kindness, but my Lingxiao Pavilion is also from the handiwork of Tiangong Building."

Although he didn't need this favor, Ji Lin still felt Shangguan Xue's sincerity and smiled and thanked him.

"That's right."

Shangguan Xue nodded, and handed a set of Tang costumes to Ji Lin: "Abandon the simplicity, there are no men on weekdays, this Tang costume is left by my father, please don't mind." ”

"Thank you." Ji Lin wanted to refuse, but found that his clothes were wet from the rain, so he nodded and walked to the side to change his clothes.

When Ji Lin appeared in the living room again in Tang costume, looking at the skirt in front of him, the waist was tied high at the waist, and the long hair was coiled high with hostas, as if a woman in Tang costume had walked out of the Dunhuang murals, Ji Lin had a feeling of amazement.

Shangguan Xue has an elegant temperament, like an iceberg snow lotus that does not melt for thousands of years.

This Tang costume highlights her elegant and luxurious temperament to the fullest, like a princess who has traveled through time from the Tang Dynasty.

In the five thousand years of immortality, Ji Lin has made countless friends with celebrities and scholars, and has also seen many beauties who have captivated the country and the city, and a Taoist heart has already been cultivated in the ancient well.

But this time, Ji Lin still fell into a brief distraction.

There is no other reason, but because Shangguan Xue's dress is too much like Ji Lin's old man.

"Wan'er." Vaguely, Ji Lin seemed to dream back to Luoyang, the capital of the gods more than a thousand years ago, and from that piece of peony flowers, there was a peerless beauty dressed like fire in Tang costumes.

In the long river of years, Ji Lin has had many confidants, and Shangguan Wan'er is one of them.

"Ji Lin, you hurt me." Shangguan Xue's soft cry like a hollow valley orchid pulled Ji Lin back from his contemplation.

Following the prestige, Ji Lin realized that he didn't know when to hold Shangguan Xue's hand, and the posture of the two was indescribably "love".

This is the first time Shangguan Xue has invited a man to come to the house, and it is also the first time that a little hand has been held by the opposite sex.

This feeling made Shangguan Xue very shy and uneasy.

He ...... You don't want to kiss me, do you? ”

"Tonight, the autumn rain continues, and there is no one else at home, should he ......"

For a while, Shangguan Xue was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do next.

"I'm sorry, your dress reminded me of my old friend for a while, and I lost my temper for a while."

Just when Shangguan Xue's heart hit like a deer, Ji Lin's "cruel" voice floated in the wind.

"The deceased? Ji Lin, you are really joking, could it be that you still know people from the Tang Dynasty? ”

got up to make tea for Ji Lin, Shangguan Xue looked back and smiled, like a peony blooming in the cold winter.

This smile seemed to be able to captivate the city, and Ji Lin, who was watching it, was stunned again, and secretly said that this woman and Tang costume were a perfect match.

"I said I really know the people of the Tang Dynasty, do you believe it?"

After taking the one handed over by Shangguan Xue, it was brewed with the purest brew in the upper reaches of Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Wild Mountain Maofeng Green Tea, Ji Lin smiled casually.

"Yes, of course I do." Shangguan Xue nodded, with a serious face.

Burst!

Hearing this, Ji Lin was stunned, and the water in his throat that he had just drunk almost squirted out.

"Actually, it's not just you, many people think that I should have been born in the Tang Dynasty, and we are all from the Tang Dynasty."

The next sentence made Ji Lin secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then he understood that Shangguan Xue was joking.

"If you were born in the Tang Dynasty, then you are Shangguan Wan'er, the prime minister of the world."

Ji Lin smiled slightly, and said Shangguan Xue's sudden discoloration.

"You are worthy of being a knowledgeable person, and you can see at a glance that I am a descendant of Shangguan Wan'er." Shangguan Xue sighed slightly, and said something that made Ji Lin's face change.

"Impossible, Emperor Xuanzong killed Wan'er under his banner back then, when I arrived, it was already a step late, where did she come from?" Ji Lin shook his head, looking incredulous.

"You...... Know my ancestors? ”

Shangguan Xue opened her mouth wide, looked at Ji Lin's gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little more pity and worry, and secretly said Ji Lin was drenched in the autumn rain, why did he always talk nonsense?

"Ahem, in fact, I have a lot of admiration for Shangguan Wan'er, sometimes I dream of meeting her, talking nonsense for a while, and I ask Shangguan Xue to forgive me."

Only then did Ji Lin realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he was a little embarrassed.

After 5,000 years of cultivation, Ji Lin is accustomed to watching the spring moon and autumn breeze, and there are very few people and things that make Ji Lin lose his temper.

But Shangguan Xue's words were too terrifying, causing a ripple in Ji Lin's Dao heart.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty began from the rule of Li Erzhenguan to the end of Li Longji's prosperous era.

As a woman, Wu Cong turned the tide and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan when Emperor Li Tang's power was declining, and made outstanding contributions during the transition period between the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

Shangguan Wan'er, as a personal female official, followed Wu Cong for 27 years, and her literary talents were soaring and her authority was monstrous, and she was called the "Prime Minister of Women", and she was a rare strange woman in the world.

Such a character, but in the end, he was beheaded by Tang Xuanzong, which made Ji Lin very melancholy.

"If I had come one step earlier, maybe Wan'er would have had a different ending."

Seeing the autumn rain outside the window, the majestic maple leaves were drifting, Ji Lin couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Ji Lin, don't you know, Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather is the prime minister Shangguan Yi, after Shangguan Yi was convicted and killed, he was assigned to the inner court as a maid with his mother Zheng."
