After Lu Zuo received Mr. Shuiyue's letter, he didn't know that he would directly bow his hand to everyone and said, "Then the old man will leave it alone!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, this old gentleman really came and went in a hurry, and he couldn't help but say that he could leave anytime and anywhere, and everyone was not prepared at all. Mr. Shui Yue seemed to see through everyone's thoughts and said, "Don't be surprised, the old man has always acted like this, and he doesn't like to be fettered, so he decided to leave today." Everyone cherishes each other, and we are destined to see you again! ”

After sending Mr. Shuiyue away, Liu Xun's father and son also left Kuji Temple. That night, Gao Yun also rode a fast horse to visit Lu Zuo, and several people drank tea and chatted together in the meditation room of the old Zen master.

In the early morning of the next day, King Ning sent someone to drive a carriage to invite Lu Zuo to see the house. So Lu Zuo led Yin Ji to say goodbye to the old Zen master, and went with the carriage of Ning Wangfu.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate of Kyoto, Lu Zuo lifted the curtain and saw the strong city wall, and couldn't help but feel another emotion in his heart, and came to the city gate to greet an old man with silver hair. As soon as the man saw Lu Zuo, he bowed and said, "You are Mr. Tao!" ”。

Lu Zuo nodded, "Old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, it's down there." ”

"I am Liu San'er, the housekeeper of the palace, and I have come here today to wait for Mr. Tao, and I will take you to see the house selected for you to see if you are satisfied!" The prince said, if you are not satisfied, you can buy it elsewhere! ”

"There is a housekeeper Lao Liu, let's lead the way!"

Liu San'er led the two servants to get on their horses and led the way in front of them. When the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was the car of King Ning's mansion, they did not interrogate it, and directly let them enter the city.

After half an hour to Xining Street, the most prosperous place of Xining Street is the T-shaped intersection, directly opposite is Ning Wangfu, the corner is Xinghua Restaurant, the carriage is next to Xinghua Restaurant to stop less than 100 steps forward.

At this time, Liu San'er shouted into the carriage: "Mr. Tao, it's here!" ”

Although Lu Zuo seemed to be healed, he actually knew best about his internal injuries, and he sat in the carriage for an hour all the way, and he was really tired to the point that his face was like white paper, and his back was sweating. Lu Zuo barely stood up with Yin Ji's support.

Lu Zuo got out of the carriage and raised his eyes to see the first thing about this mansion, although it was old, he could see that the doors and buildings were all newly painted, and the black lacquered courtyard door was closed. Liu San'er pointed to the courtyard gate and bowed to Lu Zuo, and said, "Mr. Lu, look, these are all the little ones that were retouched overnight yesterday, and they are clean!" ”

"It's hard work! Dare to ask what is the origin of this house? Lu Zuo asked curiously.

"To tell you the truth, this was also the mansion of a Beijing official two years ago, and then it was demoted, and this mansion was transferred to the hands of my master, so Mr. Lu can rest assured." Liu San'er noticed that Mr. Tao seemed to be unwell, so he stepped forward to open the door and lead the way, "Mr. Lu is hot outside, let's go into the house and take a look, it's very cool inside." ”

So Liu San'er asked a few servants to wait at the door, and he led Lu Zuo into the mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the mansion, a cool breeze came to his face, facing a rockery in front of him, Liu San'er introduced while walking in front: "This is a three-entry courtyard, although it is not very large, but it is no problem to live dozens of people, and there are all kinds of places to enjoy the rockery fish pond here." Although it is a street when you go out here, Mr. Tao can rest assured that even if there is a cannon outside, you will not be noisy. ”

Seeing that this courtyard was so big, Lu Zuo nodded and smiled: "Although it is only a three-entry mansion, it is still very large." ”

"Yes, this east and west wing of the courtyard is where the next person lives, my lord said, when the time comes, I will arrange a few people for you, and I will serve you in the morning and evening."

The three of them passed the weeping flower gate and arrived at the inner house, Liu San'er continued: "The front is the main house, and the east and west wings here are empty, but they have been cleaned yesterday, and they are all very clean." There is also a study right next to the main room. ”

Lu Zuo saw that there were two big locust trees planted on both sides of the main house, so he asked, "This big locust tree is some years old, right?" ”

"Yes, it's been two hundred years. My lord originally wanted to transplant it to the palace, but he didn't expect that the leaves would die within two days in the palace, and then it was planted back. Liu San'er asked curiously, "What?" Mr. Tao doesn't like it? ”

"No, let's plant it here! It's just that I prefer peach trees. ”

Yin Ji also smiled at this time and said: "Ji Er also likes it, this courtyard is so big, why don't we plant peach trees by the pond in the second courtyard just now!" Bring the two white cranes from Kuji Temple again, what do you say, Master? ”

Lu Zuo lightly shook Yin Ji's nose, "Then you have to be beaten by your ancestor, that white crane has been raised by his old man for many years." ”

That Liu San'er is old, experienced and very good at talking, "If Mr. Tao likes it, there are many in the palace, and I will let my subordinates move a few plants later." ”

Lu Zuo smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you." ”

"If Mr. Tao doesn't have anything to order, I'll go back to the house to arrange it first."

Lu Zuo thanked him again. Liu San'er said before leaving: "My master has been out of the house for two days, and he will come back in two days, he ordered to come down, if you have anything, go to our second son." ”

After Liu San'er left, Yin Ji jumped into the main room, stood on the threshold and looked around, and then said excitedly: "Master, Master, come and see, this hall is so big and beautiful." ”

Lu Zuo came to the front of the main house unhurriedly, and it was really extraordinary, although it was not as good as the palace, but the original owner of the house would also enjoy it. On the hall hangs a picture of a dragon fighting a tiger going out to sea, and a couplet is hung on both sides:

The upper link is: up the mountain and the tiger down the tiger mountain, and the megatron universe.

The next link is: into the sea Jiaolong out of the dragon sea, blessed Shenzhou.

Although Lu Zuo felt a little cheesy after looking at it, this painting was indeed interesting, so Lu Zuo sat in the hall.

Yin Ji stepped forward and pinched his shoulders to the master, and smiled innocently, "Master, you said that we will live here in the future, and you changed your surname, does the apprentice have to change his name?" Otherwise, people won't recognize you even when they see me! ”

Lu Zuo thought about it, this is not a way after all, "It's polite!" So what do you say is the best name? ”

"It's up to Master!" Yin Ji said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Lu Zuo thought for a while, "Then let's call it Tao Qian!" ”

Yin Ji straightened up and applauded and smiled: "Good name, good name, I know who this person is, he is Tao Yuanming, a famous great poet of the Jin Dynasty." ”

Lu Zuo bowed slightly, "Our master and apprentice, now like this couplet, one is Xiahu Mountain, the other is out of the Dragon Sea, the other is the wild crane who escaped from the ghost gate, and the other is the hidden dragon who wants to be incognito." ”

Yin Ji smiled with an enlightened smile: "Oh! It turns out that this is what the master meant by his name Tao He! The name Ji'er is also very interesting! ”
