Chai Jin and Su Yan left the chess building one after another, and the atmosphere in the chess room became relaxed again. Sui Yi began to shout again to find a place to have fun, which is also his usual style, and he can't be idle.

Liu Yu felt tired when he heard that he was going to have a pastime, and he always came and went without new ideas, so he asked, "You don't have to go back to the yamen on an errand?" ”

"Brother Liu, you have returned safely today, can Brother Li and I not take a day off and accompany you?"

Sui Yi's words were light, and he made it clear that he was looking for an excuse to "absent from work", now that Yin is vacant in Jingzhao Mansion, Sui Yi has the final say in the yamen, as long as there is no important official document, it doesn't matter when he wants to go. The same is true of the Yamen of the Defense Division of the Yunanmen Gate, where Li Mi is located.

"That's fine, but in advance." Liu Yu said with a leisurely expression, "I was a little tired when I just returned to Chang'an, and I didn't go to places where I needed to move my legs, such as stepping on spring and visiting temple fairs." Moreover, there are still ...... in Zangyunfang and Xiaohualou In short, women do not go to places where there are more men than men. ”

Liu Yu made it clear that he had a problem for Sui Yi, and after listening to what he didn't go, Sui Yi said with a bitter face: "Just go to the garden I sent to Brother Liutai to have a look, and by the way, I will also give you the title deed." ”

Liu Yu thought about it, this is a good place, a white garden, it's a pity not to see it.

"It's okay to go, you have to take two people with you first."

The "two people" Liu Yu said were the sisters of the Han family, and it was estimated that they were almost making up for sleep, and they were worried about him for a few days, and they also promised to take them out to relax.

When they saw the Han sisters wearing handsome men's clothes and walking out of the house under the escort of Cai Yingnu, Sui Yi stepped forward with a big grin and saluted: "Say hello to the two sisters-in-law." ”

After knowing each other for so long, Sui Yi never greeted the Han sisters in the past, maybe because he had the confidence to be an official, and he was called "sister-in-law" when he came up with the first greeting. The Han sisters blushed at the same time and hid behind Liu Yu.

"Rules." Liu Yu's tone was not good, and Li Mi and Hu Xuan behind Sui Yi snickered and didn't dare to step forward again.

The garden is in the outer city, and the inner city can't ride a horse, but those who have military positions can, Lu Chu'er and the two guards both rode horses, Cai Yingnu was not so lucky, she needed to drive the car for Liu Yu and the Han sisters, and the three of Sui Yi got into another carriage, and only one coachman was hired for the two carriages.

"I already knew that I was sitting in a sedan chair."

After getting out of the carriage, Sui Yi complained a little. As a guide, he took Liu Yu to the gate of the garden.

The garden is on a mound in the southern outer city of Chang'an, very close to the Great Ci'en Temple, and the tallness of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is in front of you. Building a garden in a scenic spot, Liu Yu also had to admire Sui Yi's good vision, but this year, the rich only like to drill into the lively place, the price of such a good garden is not expensive, it is really the best place to find quiet.

There are mountains and rivers in the garden, Liu Yu even thinks that Sui Yi this kid is a garden built in imitation of the Great Ci'en Temple, although the specifications are not as good, but there are mountains and rivers and also built a lotus pond, very elegant and quiet, if you build a little more pavilions and pavilions, it will be similar to the Jiangnan garden.

An attic is three stories high, and it is actually under construction, Liu Yue is a little skeptical that the wooden beams and pillars can support the weight of a four-story small building, and if it collapses, it will be smashed. However, Sui Yi said that all the best architects were invited, and the "construction quality" was absolutely not bad, so Liu Yu was a little relieved.

The group climbed the third floor of the small building, looking far away, half of the outer city of Chang'an City in the bottom of the eye, especially the surrounding woods, seeing the hot summer, here can be said to be a summer resort.

"A gentleman must be given when he ascends to the heights, Brother Liu doesn't plan to come to a song?" Sui Yi saw Liu Yu's mood relaxed, and couldn't help but encourage him.

Liu Yu turned sideways and pointed to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda not far away: "There is such a high place next to it, you tell me that it is ascending now, and if you want to make a gift, you should wait to climb that place." ”

Da Ci En Temple is a royal temple, and the Dashun Dynasty also advocated Buddhism, and most of the sacrificial activities were held in the temple. On weekdays, the Buddhist temple is open, but there are many Buddhist scriptures in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and you are not allowed to enter unless you are a monk of the Temple of Mercy and Grace or the permission of the emperor.

"If you want to go in, unless it's the wild goose pagoda to leave a name, I don't think I have a chance in this life!"

Sui Yi said that "the name of the wild goose pagoda" refers to the scholars who enter the jinshi in each palace examination, and they can inscribe their names in the tower, which is also a tradition that began in the previous dynasty, representing the highest honor of students. Seeing that the palace examination has passed, the new Jinshi will also be able to climb the commanding heights of Chang'an City to have a glimpse of Chang'an City.

The sisters of the Han family were also very happy to come to the garden, walking around and watching, and Cai Yingnu behind them did not leave an inch. Sui Yi suddenly followed the opportunity and asked in a low voice, "Brother Liu, are you going to ...... The Han family's two daughters are raised here? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just bringing them over today to relax."

Sui Yi was quite surprised: "Then how many singing and dancing girls are you going to raise here?" ”

Liu Yu looked at Sui Yi and said, "Why do I have to raise a singing and dancing girl here?" ”

"Isn't it a pity that you don't raise a concubine or a singing and dancing lady in such a good house?" Liu Yu suddenly took out a large stack of papers from his arms and said, "It's better to take a look at these, they are all the new portraits of the singing and dancing girls presented to Jingzhao Mansion this year, and there is a selection among them, if you like it...... I have redeemed it for you. ”

Liu Yu took over the large stack of portraits, the women painted on them can only be described as "miserable", not the ugly women painted, but the painting techniques are very old, following the ancient beauty guidelines of small noses, small eyes and small mouths.

"I appreciate your kindness, as for these paintings...... It's better to keep it to yourself. Liu Yu handed the painting back to Sui Yi.

Hu Xuan and Li Mi took it and looked at it, but they all said that the woman above was beautiful. This can only be blamed on Liu Yu, who is accustomed to seeing photographs, even if he is not a photograph, he is also accustomed to seeing sketches, and he cannot mention the nature of this kind of "abstract painting".

"Brother Liu, you are content to paint like this, you think everyone is like you, and the paintings are like real people, and it is not easy to find such a painter in Chang'an City." Sui Yi complained, and suddenly had an idea, "Why don't I take you to the song and dance workshop to have a look and choose it yourself?" ”

Liu Yu continued to look around, and directly refused: "Don't go." I said that I would not go to a place where there were more women than men today. ”

"There aren't many women there......"

As Sui Yi was talking, the sisters of the Han family suddenly came over, and Han Xiaoting asked, "Son, but you want to go to the song and dance workshop?" I...... My sister and I are going too. ”

"You ...... Going too? Liu Yu didn't expect them to come over and mix blindly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Han Xiaoyi was afraid that her sister would not be able to speak clearly, so she stepped forward and said, "Childe, that's the case, my sister's singer and dance in the past was invited by my grandfather from the song and dance workshop, and we ...... I want to meet Mr. I miss it for a long time. ”

Liu Yu was a little jealous in his heart, although he knew that most of the "gentlemen" in their mouths were women, but if they were really old men...... Liu Yuxin said that if he didn't throw a punch, he would beat him first. After thinking about it, he couldn't do it, so he had to beat him behind his back, so as not to let the Han sisters say that he was stingy.

"That'...... Then go to the cabaret. Liu Yu's voice also changed, as if he was going to find fault.

Sui Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Then go, wait, I'll find a craftsman to go to Sui Mansion to bring a message, and ask him to bring a special tool for Liu Brother Tai's painting." Let those painters also see what it means to really paint! ”
