Guide Mansion and Suizhou, according to the distance scale of the Ming Dynasty, are about 150 miles apart, which is equivalent to 60 or 70 kilometers in later generations, and if you drive your own Lamborghini, it will not take more than half an hour at most. But Su Baiyi can only sit the car pulled by the donkey, swaying all the way in the cramped carriage, squeaking slowly, walking for about a day, until sunset in the west mountain before reaching Suizhou City.

After getting out of the carriage, I let out the smell of sweat all over my body, breathed in the fresh air outside, and had a meal with Zhou Lao. In the old guy's "not delicious" and "no rice" complaints, he finally returned to the inn.

It is unlucky to visit others at night, it will be regarded as impolite, and Su Baiyi and his party can only wait until tomorrow morning to visit Yuan Keli.

But before anyone heard his voice, as long as it was in Suizhou City, just find a place to inquire, someone will give you a detailed description of Yuan Dasima's great achievements in his life, and the head is endless.

It seems that this Yuan Keli is not only the minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, but also the pride of his hometown.

After a tiring day, I slept fairly well at night.

Got up early the next morning, Zhong Er led the way, Yang Juan Su Baiyi followed Zhou Shipu behind, and the four of them entered the road through Suizhou City from the east gate, and turned a corner to Yuan Da Sima's mansion located in the north gate.

Far away, Su Baiyi saw that there was such a big courtyard, the stone slab in front of the door was cleaned, and some water was splashed on it, which looked extremely refreshing.

There are two stone tablets on the left and right sides of the gate, and the stone tablets on the left side are engraved with four big block letters "Three Sima"

Sima of the Ming Dynasty is just a folk and respectful title, but it is actually just a book of the military department.

But Su Baiyi didn't understand, Yuan Keli was poor back then, but he was able to study and take scientific examinations only after receiving help from Dong Qichang, although his son Yuan Shu also had an official position, but he was not the head of the military department, why was he the third Sima?

He asked Zhou Shipu, Zhou Shipu laughed, pointed to the smooth stone plaque and said: "This is the first emperor's grace, Yuan Junmen has meritorious service to the country, and the first emperor posthumously sealed the second." ”

"Oh......" Su Baiyi understood, the emperor should have posthumously crowned Yuan Keli's father and grandfather, plus isn't he himself the third Sima?

Su Baiyi's gaze shifted from the stone tablet on the left to the right, there was an identical stone tablet there, but the words on it were different, and the stone tablet on the right was carved with "Gongbao Shangshu"

Shang Shu is the most powerful minister of the six ministries.

"Gong Bao" is an auxiliary minister of the East Palace, and the word Gong Bao is crowned in front of the book, which means that Yuan Da Sima should not only be a book with real power, but also hang honorary titles such as "Prince Taibao" and "Prince Shaobao".

For example, the famous "Kung Pao Chicken" that became famous in later generations and became popular on the Chinese table, you don't need to think about it to know that it must be fried by which East Palace assistant minister fried the chicken with idle eggs.

"How's that word?" Zhou Lao went up a few steps with the support of Zhong Er and Yang Juan, came to the gate tower of the Yuan Mansion, pointed to the two gold powder couplets engraved on the black lacquered wooden pillars on both sides, and asked Su Baiyi.

Without waiting for Su Baiyi to answer, he smiled again and said, "This is Dong Xuanzai's real handiwork!" ”

Dong Qichang was not only in later generations, but was actually famous for his poetry and painting at that time.

Moreover, this Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Yuan Da Sima have known each other since childhood, and their fates have reached their peak at the same time, and they have picked up soap for half a century together, and it is not surprising that his true handiwork is hung in front of Yuan's mansion.

Su Baiyi's gaze fell on the gold powder inscription, and he squinted his eyes and read.

Shanglian: Speak without saying anything, shame on the name of the Han People's Department;

Downlink: Don't forget the king, there is the wind of Chu Yin ruining the family.

After watching it for a long time, I didn't see why.

Zhou Shipu smiled at him and said: "This couplet is even more amazing, it is the words of Emperor Taichang to Yuan Dasima!" ”

Su Baiyi was solemn and respectful, and respectfully saluted the couplet, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Yuan family, it's really a cow, dare to use the couplet given by the emperor as a door number, the cow is so explosive!

Think about the powerful people in later generations, who put photos of themselves and leaders in the living room at every turn, it should be the same mentality, right?

"Lord Zhou, please!"

The subordinates in Yuan's mansion seemed to know Zhou Shipu, and they were extremely respectful to him, took the gifts brought by several people, and led them all the way to the mansion.

A man in his thirties ran over in small steps, wiping his sweat while dragging his fat lower abdomen, and said uncontrollably: "The little nephew has seen Uncle Zhou Shi, Uncle Shi breathed earlier, and the little nephew will pick up your old man." ”

"Hehe, Bo Ying, come on, come on, the old man will introduce you to the talented people of our Guide Mansion!" Zhou Shipu smiled and beckoned the fat man to himself, and then pointed at him and said to Su Baiyi and Yang Juan: "This is Yuan Dagongzi, and now he is also the head of the household department, but his favorite is the way of calligraphy and painting, haha." ”

"I've seen Brother Yuan!"

Yang Juan and Su Baiyi saluted.

"Uncle Shi, don't joke about your little nephew......" Yuan Gongzi had a bitter face, and returned the salute to Su Baiyi with a little twist, and said: "You're polite, under Yuan Shu, the word Boying!" ”

"Okay, this is Yang Juan, you should know him, his father...... Alas! Zhou Shipu looked at Yang Juan, shook his head, and pointed at Su Baiyi and said, "This is Su Bu, Su Baiyi, who has recently become famous in Guide Mansion!" ”

"But the one who is known as the little Zhuge of Virtue?" Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked like a child.

"Ahem......"

Su Baiyi coughed twice in embarrassment, and then regardless of his face, he raised his right hand and waved it twice: "That, Brother Yuan, please allow the little brother to correct it." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shu was stunned.

Zhou Shipu and Yang Juan also looked at Su Baiyi with interest.

Su Baiyi said without skin and face: "This Guide Xiao Zhuge is not a contemptible claim, but is considered to be a ......."

"Hahahaha!" Yuan Shu laughed heartily, and slapped Su Baiyi's shoulder twice with his thick big hand: "When I saw him today, Su Gongzi is really a very person!" ”

"Okay, don't brag about it!" Zhou Shipu waved his hand, looked at Su Baiyi and said: "Our little Zhuge is not simple, and he also has a lot of insights into the way of medicine. ”

"Ah, I see!" The expression on Yuan Shu's face changed again, and now it was extremely solemn, and now he respectfully bowed to Su Baiyi, and said: "Mr. Su, please forgive Yuan for being slack, Yuan, hehe, nature is like this!" ”

"Where is Yuan Da Sima?"

Zhou Shipu stood under the sun for almost a quarter of an hour, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Shu's face was a little gloomy, and he replied: "My father's condition has been getting worse and worse in the past two days, and in order to recuperate with peace of mind, he is not at home now. ”

"Where's that?"

"On board!" Yuan Shu replied.
