In those days, Emperor Yan stayed up late, and Sun Zhaoyuan was also waiting outside the hall.

Every time Sun Zhaoyuan was asked to present, it was a roster of various officials. Sun Zhaoyuan sometimes secretly flipped through and saw Emperor Yan sketching and scribbling on some people's names, and knew that Emperor Yan wanted to change the appointment of officials in case Nukeza died and the catalogue became bigger.

Sun Zhaoyuan looked carefully, but he didn't see how Emperor Yan wanted to change, thinking that Emperor Yan was also guarding against others and deliberately altered it. Sun Zhaoyuan hurriedly put down the roster and did not open it in the future, for fear of being bumped into by Emperor Yan.

It's also strange to say that in recent days, Nuyid has always invited Sun Zhaoyuan to Nufu to sit down. Sun Zhaoyuan happened to stay up until late at night in front of Emperor Yan, and he didn't even go back to his own house, sitting and sleeping in the upper study, how could he have time to go to the appointment. On this day, finally Emperor Yan was not busy, Sun Zhaoyuan saw that Nuyid was very attentive, and if he didn't go to the appointment, he would offend Nuyid, and after leaving the palace, he went back to Nuyid with Nuyid.

Nuyid brought Sun Zhaoyuan to the hall, the two sat down, Nuyid smiled, and said: "Lord Sun, serving the Holy Lord in front of you, you should be the most bad, I think you have become the Holy Confidant, in time, you will definitely spread your wings and enter the green clouds." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The lower officials can enter the Hanlin Academy, all of them are the holy graces, the lower officials just want to be loyal and do their duty as courtiers, that is, to repay the saints, never think about anything about adding officials to the knighthood, that is the holy grace, dare not guess." ”

Nuyid said: "Lord Sun, don't be too modest, if you want to be the champion of the department, you will be added to the rank and file, no problem." After speaking, he said to the door: "Mingshu, serve tea." ”

Na Mingshu had been waiting for a long time, and handed the tea to Sun Zhaoyuan, still smiling. As soon as Sun Zhaoyuan took the tea, Nuyid said: "It's really unfortunate, this official suddenly has something important to do, and I forgot to do it, Mingshu, you accompany Master Sun to the courtyard for a walk, I will go to deal with official business, and I will be back in a while." ”

Mingshu replied: "Yes, Dad, I will definitely entertain Lord Sun to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

After speaking, Nuyid said goodbye to Sun Zhaoyuan. Mingshu saw that Nuyid was gone, so she no longer called Sun Zhaoyuan, so she smiled and said: "I look at you, you should be the same age as me, I won't call you Lord, just call you Zhaoyuan, so that you look closer, otherwise it will be restrained." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "You can call it whatever you want, anyway, when I am not bad, I am also an ordinary teenager." ”

Mingshu asked: "Zhaoyuan, you are the champion, then you look at this inner courtyard, can you see what the meaning is?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan carefully looked at the courtyard for a long time, only to see that the courtyard was deep, the water was rippling, although it was very beautiful, but he had no clue, and said: "This courtyard is built to be everyone's work, but Zhaoyuan is clumsy, and I really can't see any deep meaning." ”

Mingshu said: "I can't even see the champion, my heaven and earth branches, Tai Chi and two instruments, really no one can solve it." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan was shocked: "You made this yard?" ”

Mingshu said: "Although I didn't repair it, but the idea and design came from my own hand." Four years ago, when I was 14 years old, I was very fond of the study of Yin and Yang I Ching, so I begged my grandfather to renovate my house. I drew my ideas on paper, and my grandfather sent skilled craftsmen to make them according to the drawings, and we have the house we have today. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan looked at the inner courtyard again, and sure enough, there was some yin and yang breathing, but he had never seen the yin and yang doctrine, and thought that this was a sideline, but it was just a misguided word. Hearing Mingshu say this this time, he became interested and asked, "What is the meaning of this house?" ”

Mingshu said: "Look at these two big ponds, what do they look like?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Like two eyes." ”

Mingshu said: "What about the two pavilions on the left and right ponds?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "It's like two eyeballs." ”

Mingshu said: "What about this courtyard?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "It's like a big circle." ”

Mingshu said: "What about these covered bridges? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan: "It's not like anything, I just want to come here for the convenience of travel." ”

Mingshu said: "You are really a person who does not understand the Yin and Yang I Ching." This courtyard, what are the eyes and eyeballs, this is the pattern of Tai Chi gossip, yin and yang, four pillars and eight phases. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan took a closer look at the courtyard, the pond seemed to be Taiji two yuan, the pavilion seemed to be two instruments, the covered bridge seemed to be connected by four pillars and eight phases, and the big circle of the courtyard was the Taiji circle. No one can break through, and it is absolutely impossible to see the deep meaning of this.

Sun Zhaoyuan was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to make this courtyard look like this, isn't there anything special about it?" ”

Mingzhu smiled: "Of course. When you come, will you find anything wrong with the main road of my house? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan thought for a long time and said: "I just feel that the gate is very wide, the road is very wide, and there is nothing special about the rest." ”

Mingshu said: "People who don't have yin and yang knowledge don't know my house, and it's an extreme place for good and bad." The big road at the door came to an abrupt end when it came to my door, and it was a dead-end road. The road is water, and the waterway is broken, and the place where it is broken will be rushed out of the gap. The same is true of my family's pattern, the road is evil, and it will wash away the family business. However, this house, born in the east of the imperial city, is for the purple qi to come from the east, the back door is near the river, surrounded by the river bay, for the feng shui is an excellent place, extremely blessed and expensive. Therefore, my family, although the family has a big business, but the industry I have achieved, every step of the way, is a hardship, it is because of the road at the door. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "With the power of the Nu family, it is not difficult to change the road at the door. ”

Mingshu said: "Then don't look at who lives around here?" This side is very close to the imperial city, and the people who live there are high-ranking officials and nobles. The prince's horses all live nearby, if the road is changed, it is not to damage other people's feng shui, although my Nu family is high and powerful, but it is not the Son of Heaven, to say the same, those princes and horses, can not be offended. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "So you changed the courtyard feng shui?" ”

Mingshu said: "Yes, I took the Taiji Liangyi, swallowed and exhaled the evil qi of the broken road, through the round sky, spit out the old and the new, and then circulated by the two instruments, the four pillars and eight phases were accepted, and the evil qi was dispersed, so the evil of this road can be solved." Since then, my family has been able to no longer have hardships, and the family road is stable, and there is no such thing as a thread in the past. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Then why can't you resolve the illness of Lord Nukza?" ”

Mingshu said: "Life is determined by heaven, I really don't know, what can be changed." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I didn't expect you to be a woman, at such a young age, you actually have such a great talent, and it is really after the meritorious service." ”

Mingshu said: "So ordinary people are not allowed to enter my eyes." There are a lot of rising stars, I think they are just familiar with poetry and books, but they don't have any great talent. Unlike Zhaoyuan, it is a person who has changed organically, I have heard about Zhaoyuan, and he is a person of curiosity. No wonder you are still young, you have already started a family, I think your wife is afraid that you will run away, and there are also forced marriages. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "It's not, when I met my wife, it was also the favor of God, so there was fate." ”

Mingshu said: "It's really enviable to be the main room of Zhaoyuan. If I can meet a talented person like Zhaoyuan, I will be a concubine, and I will be willing. ”

After Mingshu finished speaking, she saw that Sun Zhaoyuan's forehead was sweating, so she took a handkerchief and wiped it for Sun Zhaoyuan. Although Sun Zhaoyuan felt a little strange, he did not refuse.

After an hour, Nuyd saw that it was almost over, so he came back to Sun Zhaoyuan, and bragged about some loose cattle from all over the world.
