In the winter of the fourth year of Renshou, the dust settled on the Tiyì of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and more than 100,000 strong men were conscripted to both sides of the Yellow River and began New Year's Eve labor.

Halfway through the struggle to repair the river and dig ditches, the imperial court issued an edict to build the eastern capital, "To the east of the city of Zhou Wangcheng and eighteen miles west of the ancient city of Han and Wei, a new city of Luoyang will be built." Although this edict expressed Comrade Yang Guang's love for the new and his dislike of the old, his clear-cut determination to protect cultural relics still made later people see the results.

"The regulation of the palace should be based on convenience and frugality." This is the second edict, and on the surface it seems to be in awe of the edicter. However, what the people must know is that some imperial edicts are still very interesting, and when the politicians secretly become young ladies, they will not forget to set up a chaste archway; Therefore, it is only natural that their colleagues or subordinates will resolutely implement these edicts after turning them one hundred and eighty degrees.

Yang Su, Yang Da and Yu Wenkai led the task of building Tokyo under the important spiritual instructions of the Sui Emperor, and they mobilized millions of people to devote themselves to the battle of building a great eastern capital with Yang Guang characteristics in a strict and lively atmosphere in line with the principle of beauty and generosity, until the first heavy snow quietly fell, until the second heavy snow arrived as scheduled.

And Su You, on the other hand, announced his first creation since the Sui Dynasty when the snow fell, which also marked the beginning of Su You's consciousness as a traverser. Although he soon discovered that gloves were not as popular as he had originally intended to be in the hands of the people who toiled in the snow, but had become the fashion of high society, he went on to invent the stove.

The invention of the furnace was Su You's starting point, he didn't think that this thing could change the habits of high society or make himself famous. In fact, large families will go to a large copper tripod in the house in winter, and then continue to add charcoal to the tripod, and the tombs unearthed in the Western Jin Dynasty already have exquisite small stoves and charcoal irons. However, due to the lack of a section of iron pipe in the house for heat dissipation, it is very wasteful to burn charcoal directly, not to mention, it is not too warm, unless, the luxury people burn it regardless of the cost, but it is also a burning of money.

Su You's stove quickly became popular among middle-class families, and by mistake, he ignored the dangers of gas, so that the number of people killed reached double digits in just the end of the year. Of course, the high-ranking lords and magnates don't care about the lives of a few subordinates, but they don't care even more about the money they spend on charcoal, so the rich and noble people are more willing to put charcoal in the stove, which has the feeling of garlic on coffee, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky, which is also beyond Su You's expectations.

What Su You couldn't expect was probably the movement of the imperial court.

After Yang Liang's rebellion, Yang Zhao made great contributions, but the reward has not come down, but Yang Er was named the king of Qi because he recommended Li Zixiong, and he also had Tang Muyi in the official name of the capital, because Yang Guang had lingering palpitations about Yang Liang, who was self-respecting as a mercenary, so he did not urge his second son to go to the domain.

The Qi Palace, which is no better than the East Palace, has no reason not to visit his owner, so he has nothing to do but run to the Qi Palace.

When the second snow fell, Su You unexpectedly met Yang Suyan who came to play in the Qi Palace, but her face was not very good, although the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Lori's face was almost perfect.

"The exhibitor is gone." Yang Suyan explained the reason for the bad mood faintly, which made King Qi and Su You sigh.

"The old gentleman is just gone? He still owes me a painting. Su You naturally couldn't say this. However, I really can't find any words to comfort little Lori, Su You really doesn't bother to be perfunctory about treating people and things, not to mention that the other party is just meeting him for the first time?

"Seeing that you are not in a good mood, why don't you take you to relax?" Yang Er was in a good mood at the moment, seeing them depressed one by one, he didn't feel good in his heart.

"Where are you going?" Su You asked with his eyes, but it was Yang Suyan who asked.

"The red plum in the Jingnian Zen Temple can be regarded as a scene in the capital, and what is even more rare is to walk in the snow to find the plum." Yang Eryun said lightly.

When Su You heard the words "Jingnian Zen Temple", he was shocked in his heart, did he really come to the world in the novel? Or Master Huang went all over the monuments in order to write a novel, and even the name of a temple has a source.

Hearing that he was going to enjoy the plum blossoms, Su You's heart calmed down all of a sudden. In my previous life, I had to go to the Grand View Garden in the capital several times to see the plums, but each time it was either late or early, and the result was that I came and went back every time, in the end, I have lived for nearly 30 years, and I have not really seen the plum blossoms in full bloom.

"To enjoy the plum, we have to go quietly, let's take the white dragon fish suit?" Yang Suyan mentioned yì to her brother, obviously Su You was not in her calculations, because Su You was just a servant, how could he dare to substitute the word "dragon"? However, Su You still nodded for her suggestion, and a private visit to Weifu is undoubtedly the best way to travel.

Then, the journey of treading the snow and looking for plum blossoms began under the horse's hooves......

The Jingnian Monastery is on the Longshou Plain outside the north gate of Chang'an City, although there are still four or five miles out of the city, but because the snow on the official road has already been swept away, the road does not make people feel far away.

The three of them took two carriages, the front one was Yang Er and Su You, and the back one was Yang Suyan and his personal maid; Of course, the soldiers who open the road and escort the road, the prince and the princess travel, and the white dragon fish suit cannot be as unknown as a small shrimp.

All the way north, snowflakes are blowing in your face.

This evoked Yang Er's poetry, but it was also exported into poetry. The word for word, although it is not very brilliant, but it is sonorous and powerful, which attracted Su You to applaud again and again.

Yang Er was still not satisfied, he had to let Su You also come a few words, which made the latter embarrassed, in his previous life, he had done impromptu poems, although he could not say that he could become a poem in seven steps, but after a little thought, he could also chant, but at this time he fell into the second realm of Wang Jing'an's so-called triple realm of reading in terms of making poems.

"The country is unified, and there is a hole in the well. The yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen. Yang Er persuaded him again and again, as if he was persuading him to drink, Su You couldn't, so he had to casually chant a pirated limerick poem, but he thought in his heart, "When you hear such a poem, you can't ask me to make a poem anymore, right?" ”

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful!" Yang Eryi couldn't help laughing when he heard Su You's chanting, although the poem was impromptu, it was nondescript. But Yang Er's novelty and found that he could still do the same way when he made poetry, so he laughed wildly, laughing so much that even tears came out.

Su You had an apologetic expression on his face, obviously he also knew that he was not brilliant in doing this poem.

After Yang Er finished laughing, the carriage left the official road and turned eastward, and a mountain blocked the way; Several people had no choice but to get out of the car, and the guards also tied their horses and followed not far away.

Walking further, the mountain is slightly steep, on one side is Chang'an City in the fog, on the other side is the four wild uninhabited bushes, only one or two lost birds sometimes whisper to each other. A winding stone path leads to the hillside, and in the distance, a few bushes have long been covered in snow, like a glass world.

The mist is misty, probably the legendary Jingnian Zen Temple, Su You is relaxed and happy, secretly thinking that this place has a "winding path to the secluded" realm. But a few steps uphill before they saw three or five soldiers with halberds coming over, and asked from a distance: "What do you want to do in front of you?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi and Her Royal Highness Princess Yuerong came to worship the mountain, and you must not be rude." The accompanying guards wasted no time in showing their waist cards, which dispelled the interrogation of the patrol soldiers, but Su You had one more question in his heart: "What is the place to go in this Pure Mind Zen Temple?" There are also guards stationed. ”

With something on his mind, Su You has less heart to look at the scenery, and at this time, the stone path, where is there any artistic conception?

After only a few turns, Su You smelled a faint fragrance from a distance, naturally plum blossoms were in full bloom. Walking further, what came into his eyes was a courtyard wall, but he saw a red plum over the courtyard wall, a solo show, several flowers competing for beauty, the breeze came slowly, it was like a lot of rouge swaying, which made him think of the poem "has been red apricot out of the wall".

"Yokobo probably has poetry again." Yang Er used the word "again", which made Yang Suyan also full of expectations, as if Su You was originally very good at making poetry.

Su You nodded, but he was silent for a long time, there are a lot of poems about plum blossoms, and the most famous is probably Lin Hejing's "Sparse shadows and slanted water, clear and shallow, dark fragrance floating moon dusk." As soon as this poem came out, later people didn't dare to write plum blossom poems, but unfortunately Su You also remembered these two sentences, however, after Lin Hejing, there was a Wang Anshi, "A few plums in the corner", Su You was able to memorize it, but he was obviously not satisfied, but Lu Fangweng's "Flutter Operator" was good, and Lao Mao also wrote such a poem.

But Su You thought about it, and still used a poem he wrote in the winter before graduation: "When the plum vase blooms, the room is full of fragrance." The east wind came suddenly, and the red fell all over the ground. Decline and glory are like dreams, life and death are at your fingertips. I feel its affection and stand silently. ”

"It's good, it's just a little sad." This is Yang Suyan's evaluation.

"Thanks to Hengbo's reminder, wouldn't it be beautiful for you to fold two sticks back and insert them in the bottle and watch them every day?" Yang Er was overjoyed, as if the frustration of Zhemei was a temporary motivation after hearing Su You's poem.

The significance of Yang Er, Su You naturally couldn't refuse.

Among the three people, this kind of hard work should naturally be done by Su You, as for the idea of pretending to other guards, just think about it, this is an elegant thing after all, let the two soldiers go to surprise the beautiful woman inside......

Beautiful woman? Su You was a little stupid when he thought of this, but he quickly scolded himself again, how could he still believe the words of those novelists? How can there be a concubine in this ruined temple?

However, the plum blossoms in the garden should have an elegant person living here.
