Yuan Jie's eyes flickered, it was obvious that he was fighting fiercely in his heart, but only a moment later, he still became dim, smiled loudly, and said: "Today, I have seen Qilang's wonderful pen like a group of people playing the sea, and I have heard the high theory of the twelve meanings of Zhong Xuan's calligraphy, it is really fast, fast!" ”

Xu You secretly shouted that it was dangerous, but fortunately, Yuan Jie was still a little sensible, so that the raw rice had already been made into sandwich rice, and he fantasized about eating a bite of Huitou grass.

In the final analysis, marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also a major event of two families, which is intertwined and implicated. If Xu You is just an ordinary person, this good word that may create an era with this pen alone, Yuan Jie has the confidence and ability to carry him into the scholarly status and cultivate him wholeheartedly, who dares to say that he can't grow into a towering tree in the future? But Xu You is not an ordinary person, he bears the blood feud of the Xu family, but the enemy Shen family is in full swing with the support of the prince, no matter how much Yuan Jie loves talent, or sees the hunting heart, in the face of reality, he still has to follow the laws of reality!

What are the laws of reality? In fact, there are only four words: seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!

Hearing the comments of the crowd of plays, Xu You couldn't help but look at Yuan Jie, although this prince does not have the style of many scholars, and some pay too much attention to the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, but the heritage of the family is there, and the eyesight sharpened by countless famous calligraphy is indeed extraordinary. Because Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty compiled the ten volumes of "The Book of Law", when Wang Xizhi was mentioned, he only used a four-character comment to evaluate the "Wang Ti", which is "the sea of the sea". This Zhang Yanyuan is amazing, his great-grandfather and grandfather are all prime ministers, one family and three phases, and they are extremely prominent. It can be seen that although the times are different and the characters are different, they all have the same path, and their understanding of beauty and skill is the same!

Xu You said humbly: "Yuan Gongyan is serious, I am only the last to learn the way of calligraphy, how dare I be praised by the 'Qunhong Opera Sea'?" I only hope that in the future, I will keep waving my hands and grinding day and night, so that I can look forward to one day and finally live up to Yuan Gong's high hopes! ”

The more Yuan Jie looked at it, the more he felt that this Xu You had a very good appetite for himself in terms of speech, temperament, and demeanor, which was completely different from the perception he had obtained from sending people to investigate before, and it can be seen that the sage said, "I am also a person, listen to his words and believe in his deeds; Now I am also in the people, listen to their words and watch their deeds", it really has a profound life truth.

It's just that...... Oh, that's a pity!

He is also a character who can afford to let go, since it is not possible, there is no need to be angry, turned his head and instructed Feng Tong to carefully put away the divorce letter, let Qi Mo roll up the "He Jie Table" and retreat, and then took Xu You's hand and said, "The hour is not early, how about Qilang accompany me to eat?" ”

Xu You stroked his belly with his hand and said with a slight smile: "I really want it, I don't dare to invite!" Don't hide it from Yuan Gong, my stomach is already growling! ”

If Xu You showed his talent, it would be vulgar and rude to say such things, but at this time, in Yuan Jie's eyes, there was a kind of dignified bearing of a true celebrity, and his heart became more and more happy, and said: "Feng Tong, you go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it yourself, let them take out all their skills, cook a good meal with their hearts, and I will entertain distinguished guests at noon!" ”

Feng Tong really didn't expect such a dramatic scene to happen today, originally he planned to wait for Xu You to obediently write a divorce letter and completely break off the relationship with the Yuan family, so as to humiliate him. Just a common person, isn't he allowed himself to be sarcastic and teasing? Although for the sake of saying good things for himself in front of Lord Lang just now, he may not be too embarrassed, but in any case, the anger he suffered before has to be made up for in this supply.

But who knows, looking at the posture of this meeting, Xu You wrote a letter of divorce, but he won the favor of the lord of the Lang more than being the son-in-law of the Yuan family.

There is nothing more strange than this!

Waiting for Feng Tong to leave depressedly, Xu You followed Yuan Steps through the courtyard and went up the rugged steps to the top of a rockery completely made of Lanjiang strange stones. There is an octagonal pavilion with a unique shape, which can overlook the panoramic view of the entire Yuan manor, Xu You didn't know what Yuan Jie's intention was to bring him here, he was blown by the autumn wind, breathing the fresh air that he could never breathe in his previous life, and immediately felt relaxed and happy, and all the troubles in the world were suddenly put aside.

"This pavilion was built just over a month ago, and it has not yet been named or inscribed. I just remembered it by chance, so I asked Shichiro to come up and take a look, I don't know how it feels? ”

"But where to build a pavilion, through the spring bamboo, according to the scenery of the mountain, the green and dense Ah, the pine and the lush foothills, are the most suitable place. I look at Yuan Gong this pavilion, the terrain is unique, the surrounding lush forests and bamboos, you can stay in the breeze, the clear rapids under the mountain, can also reflect the left and right, it is really quiet and elegant, let people indulge in it at first sight. ”

Yuan Jie was surprised, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect Xu You to seem to really have an opinion on the art of gardening, and he was interested in testing him, and said: "Then, you and I stand in this pavilion and watch this garden, how do you feel?" ”

Xu You didn't want to think about it, blurted out, and said: "Regardless of the direction, it has its own height and low, it is interesting to be involved in the door, and the scenery follows the shape, such as square and round, like a deviation and curve, and the place is appropriate, and the garden is decent!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Jie was stunned, looking at Xu You's young and immature face, and didn't know what to say for a while. Xu You secretly said ashamed, because this passage was not his original, but from the famous architect Ji Cheng in the late Ming Dynasty "Yuanye".

Although this book has a high status in the history of gardening, because it is a professional book, it is not widely circulated, and most people have never even heard of it. Xu You was only moved by the ubiquitous cultural atmosphere when he visited Suzhou Gardens during the summer vacation of college, so after returning to school, he specially found a few related books and looked through them, and did not do in-depth and detailed research. After many years, I have long forgotten the names of the other books, and the reason why I only remember Jicheng's "Yuanye" is because the ancient architect actually used the literary style of "Lu Si Li Liu" to write professional books, which is very interesting to read.

But after all, so much time has passed, and he only remembers these few catchy, easy-to-understand and easy-to-recite passages!

Seeing that Yuan Jie still had signs of continuing to discuss this topic, Xu You knew that he was a pound and two, and if he said more, he would reveal his stuffing, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Yuan Gong said that this pavilion has not been named yet?" I don't know why? ”

Yuan Jie was really distracted by him, and said: "Actually, there is no big reason, it's just that the name that everyone discussed is not to my liking, and the construction period has not been determined, so I am not in a hurry to settle it." Later, it was delayed again and again, and it was delayed until it was completed, and I still didn't find a satisfactory ......."

Generally, after the completion of the construction of this level of pavilion, local literati and celebrities will be invited to hold an elegant gathering, and everyone will sing poems and texts, and it will be a good story to pass it out. If anyone writes good poetry and makes good poems, they will immediately become famous, and the host family will also be honored, so it is the best of both worlds, and everyone is happy to participate in it.

Xu You didn't ask, but he knew that since Yuan Jie's pavilion, many people have been looking forward to the day when the elegant gathering will be held. Who would have thought that this had been built for more than a month, but he hadn't even chosen a name, and he didn't know how to arrange Yuan Jie in private. If there is that mean-mouthed, maybe they will ridicule the Yuan family for being stingy and stingy, and they are afraid of spending money to be the host!

Xu You knows a lot about the famous pavilions of the Chinese dynasties, such as the Taoran Pavilion, the Drunken Man Pavilion, the Huxin Pavilion and the Aiwan Pavilion, which are known as the four famous pavilions, as well as the Orchid Pavilion, the Crane Pavilion, the Lixia Pavilion, the Agarwood Pavilion and so on, but without exception, the reason why these famous pavilions have been famous for centuries is not how unique the architectural art is, nor how unique the name is, the most important thing is actually the people in the pavilion, as well as those elegant things that have happened. For example, the Drunken Weng Pavilion, from Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of the Drunken Weng Pavilion", Aiwan Pavilion, from Du Mu's "Parking and Sitting Aifeng Pavilion Evening" poem, not to mention the Lanting Pavilion, without Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", it is just an ordinary ancient historical relic.

Xu You knows all this, so he doesn't plan to be in the limelight anymore - so many people help to choose a name that is not in line with Yuan Jie's wishes, you can know how picky this person is. The most important thing in dealing with the world is to understand when you can be sharp and when you should be stupid. Besides, if you really want to talk about it, how much knowledge Yuan Jie, not to mention the ancient and modern, but at least in terms of the subset of classics and history, he is countless times stronger than Xu You, and it is his turn to give instructions for such a trivial matter mixed with personal emotions?

Seeing that Xu You was just smiling, but not answering, Yuan Jie thought that he was arrogant, and deliberately waited for himself to open his mouth to ask, and a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, and said: "Qilang, since you are familiar with gardens and have talents, can you help me and relieve me of the pain of hanging upside down?" ”

Xu You's firm resignation, sincere tone, and respectful attitude. Yuan Jie saw that he was not pretending to be a gesture, and the little unhappiness that had just risen immediately disappeared, but he appreciated his conduct even more, which Xu You did not expect.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came, blowing wide sleeves and hunting, Yuan Jie smiled: "Since Qilang refuses to give a name, then I can only sacrifice ugliness!" He paced with his hands in his hands, walked to the end of the pavilion, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yes, it is called 'Xihai Pavilion'!" ”

Xu You was dumbfounded, and then he realized that when he pulled himself up, he already had the answer in his heart.

Qunhong played, just now it was used to praise Xu You's calligraphy, this will even use the sea to name this pavilion, Yuan Jie really gave him a lot of face!
