After all, Li Shifu was born in the Northwest Jiangmen, and he was young, and his vision of wealth and nobility was very ordinary, and he couldn't taste the unique beauty of Xiaoyan Fuyuan, but he just felt that it was "very beautiful". But Liu Yu is a person who has been in the literary field for a long time, has seen a lot of knowledge, and after coming here, he was greatly admired, and even said that although this garden has not been completed, it can be seen that the person who presided over the planning here has a splendid mind. Yang Yingqi smiled when he heard this: "This garden is self-made by the owner, not by the hands of craftsmen. ”

Liu Yu sighed and said, "Then it's no wonder." Suddenly, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "I know, this garden must be from the hands of the prime minister!" ”

Yang Yingqi laughed and said, "Lord Liu made fun of it." I still know a little about military, political and state affairs, and strategizing. But the victory of this garden, the beauty of flowers and stones, although I have been taught by Tangerine for so long, I only know what it is, but I don't know why. ”

Liu Yu heard him mention Zhao Tanger, and said, "Is that the princess's masterpiece?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said: "I'm afraid the heat of the orange is still worse." This garden is a place for my father-in-law and uncle to recuperate and entertain in their later years, and my father-in-law does not want to fake craftsmen, so he personally directs and estimates that it can be completed within a few years. ”

Liu Yu heard Yang Yingqi say "father-in-law, uncle" or something, he didn't react at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately realized that Yang Yingqi's father-in-law and uncle were Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, and he was so frightened that he bent over and said: "It turned out that Daojun was too high-ranking Qin, Liu Yu was offended, offended!" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and led him to the inner hall, one person in the hall was painting, and the others stood to watch, standing on the outermost was the old Song Dynasty Youcheng, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Chen Guoting, it was an old courtier who moved north from Zhao Ji, and the title was not comparable to Liu Yu when he was in Bian. As soon as Liu Yu saw it, his waist bent by two points, and when Chen Guoting saw him come in, he just glanced at him and ignored him, and only bowed silently to Yang Yingqi. Chen Guoting's first hand is Luoyang Confucian Yin Yan, Yin Yan in the past, is the Han Dynasty Emperor's teacher Hu Anguo, Hu Anguo is a middle-aged Qing Jun man, the Qing Jun man is a painter in the past, but I see that although he has been through the wind and frost, he is still blessed. When Liu Yu saw these two people, he knelt down in fright, and called out to the two saints, this painter and the middle-aged man next to him were naturally Yang Yingqi's "father-in-law and uncle" - Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son.

Liu Yu opened his mouth, and the quiet atmosphere in the room was broken, Chen Guoting and the others looked at each other angrily, and Liu Yu also felt abrupt and pleaded guilty.

Zhao Ji ignored him, but when he looked up and saw Yang Yingqi, he quickly put down his pen and came out and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, you are here, why don't you let people spread it!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I heard that my father-in-law was enjoying the joy of Danqing, so I wanted to come in quietly and learn a thing or two, but I didn't want to disturb my father-in-law's interest." ”

Zhao Ji smiled, in recent years, he has been protected by Yang Yingqi, but all those related to national politics are stopped outside the door, idle and have nothing to do, only discuss some righteousness with the Confucian scholars, discuss some poems with the scribes, or chant poems, or paint, although there is no emperor's respect, but also bless the elegant life of the rich man. What is especially rare is that Yang Yingqi moved all the calligraphy, painting and gold stones obtained by the Han government over the years to his house and invited him to taste and make a preface to record, which is a great pleasure worth killing time. However, Yang Yingqi was too busy and couldn't see him a few times a year, when he suddenly saw him coming, he held hands and said long and short, enthusiastic and intimate. Their son-in-law and uncle sat and talked, and Liu Yu knelt on the ground, how dare he interject?

The three of them talked for a long time, and Zhao Ji suddenly remembered something, pointed to Liu Yu and asked, "This one has a familiar face, but I don't know who it is?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It's the family sent by the ninth uncle to ask my father-in-law for peace, called Liu Yu." ”

Zhao Ji sighed and said, "Liu Yu, Liu Yu...... But the Jinshi in the Yuan Fu period? ”

Liu Yu paused: "Meng Taishang is worried about it, Liu Yu is the Jinshi of Yuan Fuzhong. Zhenghe is the history of serving the emperor, looking for the two Zhejiang inspections, and Xuanhe sentenced the country to prison, except for Hebei. Today, because of his favor Liu Yu, an old courtier who had followed the two saints, he was allowed to enter the court counselor. ”

Zhao Ji sighed again, and ignored his self-reported resume, but just asked: "Jiulang is in Jiangnan, is he doing well?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Yang Yingqi, didn't dare to say anything about state affairs, but said: "The official family is good in Jiangnan, but he misses his father and brother day and night, and he looks haggard from time to time." ”

Before Zhao Ji could answer, Yang Yingqi sighed: "It's rare for the ninth uncle to be so filial. Said to Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan: "Father-in-law, uncle, why don't you go to Jiangnan to comfort the feelings of the ninth uncle?" ”

Liu Yu didn't expect Yang Yingqi to say this, he was so frightened that he didn't know how to react, Chen Guoting and others also held their breath for a while, Zhao Ji and his son glanced at each other, he finally managed it, shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, your uncle has fallen ill in the past few years when he was hunting in the north." From Tanggu to the south of the Yangtze River, we crossed the river, but I was afraid that when we arrived in Jiankang, what Jiulang saw was our bones. You can't go, you can't go. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If Jiankang is too far, it is better to go to Shandong, and then let the ninth uncle come to see him." How is it? ”

Liu Yu was shocked, and he didn't know what to do, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan glanced at each other again, and hesitated: "It's just that I heard that the Hu people have not been very peaceful recently, and the Quartet is troublesome." This little thing in our family still has to be put behind the big things in the world. This is ...... I'll wait until His Majesty comes back. "The majesty in his mouth is naturally Zhi Yanchong.

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "I can make a decision on this little thing, at most please ask my sister-in-law, my eldest brother will not be surprised." ”

Zhao Ji bowed his head and said: "If this is the case, please ask the virtuous son-in-law to grasp the measure." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "In this case, then I will discuss it with my sister-in-law and see if things can be done." Only then did he point to the painting that Zhao Ji was making, asked for some Danqing advice, and only after half an hour did he take Liu Yu out to say goodbye.

After Yang Yingqi went out, Zhao Tanger's daughter turned out of the back hall, Hu Anguo, Chen Guoting and others hurriedly asked the princess for gifts, Zhao Ji saw her, and said with surprise on her face: "Tangerine, why are you here too." If you come a moment earlier, you will see a virtuous son-in-law. ”

Zhao Tanger said: "I haven't been here for a few days, but today the weather is good, so I brought the child to meet my father." Has Shichiro ever been here? ”

When Zhao Ji saw the child in Zhao Tanger's arms, he hurriedly hugged him over, making fun of the child, and didn't care about other things. Zhao Huan said on the side: "Qilang just brought the family of the ninth brother, and the family said that the ninth brother misses us. Shichiro said that he would like to let us go back to Jiangnan. ”

Zhao Tang'er exclaimed: "Jiangnan is so far away, and my father is not young, where can he withstand such a toss!" ”

Zhao Huan said: "Daddy said the same thing, so Qilang came up with another idea, speaking of Shandong, let the ninth brother come to meet." ”

Zhao Tanger said: "That's also a good idea, but I heard that Brother Jiu is very busy in Jiangnan, and it is easy for us to go to Shandong, but let Brother Jiu go north, it depends on whether he can get out of the way." ”

Zhao Huan nodded when he heard this: "What my sister said is true." ”

Zhao Tanger said again: "I think so, I will write a letter and ask Brother Jiu what he means, if he can get away, he will make an appointment for our family to get together." If he can't pull away, then the matter will be postponed. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "You can arrange these things." He added: "A few days ago, I heard that Zhang Zeduan also went to Tanggu and wanted to paint this Tanggu scene, but is it true?" ”

Zhao Tanger said: "Yes, I came today to tell my father this." Daddy, do you want to meet him? ”

"See, see!" Zhao Ji said: "I have to mention him, or I'm not afraid that he won't be able to make this painting." ”
