Chapter Fifty-Eight: Shangyuan Watching the Fish Go
If it is said that before Master Yan did not find the Tongjun Mansion, Lu Zhe memorized a few heart scriptures and said a few allusions, maybe this Guanyu would argue, and he still had a few chances, but his words about his life's ambition (in fact, he was pretending to be forced) made his chances of scoring a difficult argument infinitely close to zero.
As soon as the "Four Disciplines of Hengqu" came out, Master Yan knew that he was a Confucian. What's more, his later paragraph "I want this day ....." The wild words of Confucianism do not care about ghosts and gods, and the strength of destroying immortals and Buddhas is vividly expressed. Not to mention Master Yan, even Yang Hongyi and Dingming all believe that he is a Confucian disciple, and he is also a very fanatical Confucian disciple.
After all, ordinary Confucian disciples will not be so hostile to Buddhism and Taoism and other sects, only the most fanatical Confucian disciples will regard other idolatry as obscenity, and then think of the well-off society he said before, so Lu Zhe, the character of a fanatical Confucian successor, was so settled.
So on the second day after the three of them regained their freedom, Yang Hongyi came to the door with a bunch of gifts and solemnly discussed with Lu Zhe's peers.
After all, the lethality of Hengqu Sixun is too great, and the ambition and pattern embodied are so great, it can be seen that the teachers and schools behind this person should not be underestimated, so even if it is the Hongnong Yang family, it must show a certain degree of respect. Not for him as a person, but for the attitude and determination represented by these four sentences.
After all, the interests of Confucianism are firmly tied to the landlord and scholar class.
The day before the Shangyuan Fish Meeting, Xue Fengyi also came back as scheduled, according to Niu Qianzhong, Xue Fengyi attacked the site mountain, broke the remnants of the native people entrenched there, and beheaded countless people. But Lu Zhe looked at him with a relaxed expression, as if he had come back from an outing, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
However, when he saw the heads they had brought back, he no longer had any doubts.
In this world, military merit acquisition still depends on beheading, and the soldiers will cut off the enemy's head and save it with salt or lime as proof of their own military merits, so when Niu Duzhong, who had a malicious face, asked him to help check the head, Lu Zhe spit it out at once, causing everyone to laugh.
Lu Zhe, who saw countless fresh human heads, had a nightmare, after all, for the soul of a peaceful era, the heads of countless people were piled up there like cabbage, and the dense dead fish eyes seemed to be staring at you, and the impact was still very great.
The consequence of the nightmare was that when he woke up the next morning, Lu Zhe's eye circles could almost fight with hot pot.
Lu Zhe was woken up by Dingming in a half-dream, dressed in a daze, and was stuffed into the carriage by Xue Fengyi, and then he rode his own Zhaoyuye lion who was frightened by the hot pot, and took his servants to the north of the city.
Chenzhou has always had the proverb of "the east is poor and the west is rich, the south is cheap and the north is expensive", most of the Zhong Ming Ding food families in Chenzhou live in the north of the city, and the Zheng family, as the first family of Chenzhou, occupies a large area of land in the north of the city.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Zhe and others came to Wendefang in the north of the city, and the Zheng family is located at the end of Wendefang in the north of the city, and the most prosperous area in Chenzhou is separated by two streets, which is quite a bit of a quiet place. Wende Fang, the mansion of the Zheng family occupies one-third, which shows the heritage of the first family in Chenzhou.
After a while, Lu Zhe, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly felt that the carriage stopped, and knew that Lu Zhe, who was sleepy-eyed, stepped out of the carriage in a daze, and when he saw the gate of the Zheng family, Lu Zhe's sleepiness immediately woke up a lot, and he couldn't help but secretly praise, this dog is a big family.
The gate of the Zheng family, almost nearly a zhang high, looks very imposing, there is a big plaque on the door, which is written in large characters of lacquer and gold Zheng Mansion, Rao is Lu Zhe's pitiful calligraphy attainments, and you can also see the extraordinary and elegant of these two words. The gate is not open, and there are two side doors next to it, and many people are coming in and out of the side doors at this time.
At this time, there were many carriages and high-headed horses parked at the gate of Zheng's mansion, and there were a few acquaintances standing at the door, and when they saw Xue Fengyi and others getting off the horse, one of them recognized General Xue, and immediately greeted them and took them to Guanyuyuan.
The Fish Garden was on the side of the Zheng family, so they had to walk through a large building to get there. Because of Xue Fengyi's identity, Zhike personally took them to Guanyu Garden.
A few people entered from the side door, led by the acquaintance, and walked through the main hall of the Zheng family, a good Zheng family, just before the main hall, there was a large piece of open space paved with good terrazzo bluestone, about half an acre of small land, the atmosphere was incomparable. In the north of the clearing, there is an antique wooden building surrounded by white jade fences, on which the barrel tile loach ridge, the door railing and window are all finely carved, and the varnish is finely painted on it, revealing a graceful taste.
This building is the hall of the Zheng family - Zheng Xi Hall, Zheng Xi Hall has four gates, only the middle two are opened at this time, the scene inside is not very clear, can only faintly see the low few inside the collapse, there is a painting behind it, I think it is also a famous handiwork, looking at it from a distance, it naturally reveals a century-old family does not fall into the rich and vulgar atmosphere.
On the left and right of Zheng Xitang, there is a hundred-year-old giant tree, a silver maple and a golden qiao, even in the middle of winter, the two giant trees are full of branches and leaves, one is a brilliant golden tree, the other is a simple and elegant silver gray, take the meaning of gold and silver, one left and one right, one gold and one silver, contrast with each other, see Lu Zhe is amazed.
What's even more commendable is that the two trees look at the average size, which is difficult, the hundred-year-old giant tree is easy to find, but the two hundred-year-old giant trees of almost the same size will take some effort, and the wealth of this family gate valve is really breathtaking.
After passing the Zheng Family Main Hall to the west, walk through the long wooden verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. When I walked to the end of the stone road, I saw a courtyard, surrounded by snow-white powder walls, and there were three big characters on the door of the courtyard - Fish Garden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Fish Garden, the gentlemen can enter by themselves, and there are servants in it to receive them, and forgive the sin of the servants who are not accompanied." Zhike saluted the two very politely, and Lu Zhe also knew that Zhike could only send them here, so the two of them bowed slightly, thanked Zhike, and entered the fish viewing garden.
As soon as you enter the fish viewing garden, there are servants to guide the way, the first thing that catches the eyes of the two people is a huge pond, the pond covers an area of one acre, it is to lead the outside of the living water into it, the koi fish are swimming inexplicably, a pond is red, it is very good-looking.
On the peninsula near the center of the pond, a two-story painting building sits on it, on which the green tiles are flying, carved beams and painted buildings, called the Guanyu Pavilion, which looks magnificent and exquisite.
There are a lot of wooden pavilions and pavilions near the fish pavilion, built according to the topography, located in the surroundings of the pond, there are large plum blossoms next to it, white, red, yellow plum, all available, plum fragrance bursts, you can smell it from afar, and the bamboo forest, these pavilions and pavilions will be surrounded, the attic side of the northeast of the pond, there is a spring water, the ditch is only a few feet, the pond water is poured into the wall, around the edge of the house to the outside of the garden, circling under the bamboo.
Although the gardens of the Tang Dynasty are not as big as the gardens of Suzhou in later generations, they are elegant and exquisite, and they are known as recreating the world within a stone's throw away, but the heritage of the Zheng family's century-old family can not be underestimated, and there is a rich atmosphere without fireworks.
Rao is Lu Zhe has seen the Canglang Pavilion, the Humble Administrator's Garden and other gardens in Suzhou in his previous life, and when he saw such a rich and atmospheric garden, a magnificent temperament unique to the Tang Dynasty came to his face, which also made him stunned.
"Brother Fengyi, Brother Xian, here!" Just as Lu Zhe was intoxicated by this prosperous Tang Dynasty, a familiar voice came, and when he turned his head, Yang Hongyi was in the crowd in the distance, waving to the two with a smile on his face.
