Wu Kui let out a long shout: "Senior brother, I'm coming—"

Lang Lang's laughter drifted in the wind, and Yi Gong strode to the shore and bowed his hand: "Senior sister, I've been waiting for a long time."

The uncle got off the boat and bowed: "My husband and wife have been rescued by Mr. Meng many times, but they haven't bowed to Mr. Xie yet, so they are so neglectful!"

Yi Gong hurriedly helped her up: "Gongzi Kun is a noble person with his own auspicious appearance, what does it have to do with so? Hurry up, please!" After speaking, he smiled slightly and arched his hand one by one: "Senior sister, Lin Bo, Mrs. E, please."

With that, he led the three of them into the cool breeze of the woods. Out of the woods, I found a grassy path to a courtyard. The courtyard foyer is not tall, a color bluestone slab is made, thick like an ancient castle, and the door is inlaid with three large copper characters - Tianmou Zhai.

"Tianmou Zhai, where does it come from?" Wu Kui looked at it with interest.

"This is what the master has taken." Yi Gong smiled: "The deacons all said that there was a name to talk about, so I asked the master for one."

"Wonderful!" Wu Kui praised.

It is a compact courtyard made up entirely of small houses. Once passing the shadow wall, the head enters, and there are figures in and out of the two-compartment houses from time to time, although they are all in a hurry, but there is no sign of busyness and noise. Passing through the north hall, the second entrance is still the same.

Yi Gong pointed to the second hall and said, "This is the main hall, and it is not directly connected to the backyard. Please."

Led the three of them into the third entrance from an arched stone door on the east side of the hall, just bypassed a shadow wall, the bamboo forest in front of them was sprinkled with a breeze, and they suddenly felt refreshed.

Wu Kui smiled and sighed, "When did Senior Brother get such a quiet place, it is a school palace!"

Yi Gong smiled and said, "Over the years, my junior sister has been running around in the Central Plains, and I don't know the changes in Fancheng. This was originally the old palace of the old Fanguo, and in order to attract business travelers and to gather gold and strengthen the army, the old palace was divided into six gates and sold at a high price, so I bought the last two."

Wu Kui smiled: "Senior brother has become a prince and merchant, but where is the palace?"

"Senior sister wants to live in the palace, but it's difficult!" Yi Gong laughed heartily: "The four palaces have masters, and my two gates are just the original palace treasury and a garden vacant, and there is no palace."

Wu Kui thought for a moment: "Buying a treasury instead of a palace, seeking practicality instead of being famous, this is the road of merchants. Is this kind of plan and will only be within the reach of a merchant who knows how to show his wealth?"

Yi Gong was embarrassed: "Senior sister, actually...... This is also the master's idea, how can I be so clever?"

From the gravel path through the bamboo forest, a green grass on a thatched courtyard with two thatched pavilions in front of the house, surrounded by tall and straight poplar forests, quiet and solemn like a grassland river valley.

Wu Kui shook his head and said, "Miyagi has a thatched hut, don't you think it's deliberate?"

Yi Gong smiled and said, "This is an abandoned garden, and it will be in place, and I don't care what others think."

Uncle Concubine patted Wu Kui and said with a smile: "This is a four-fold thatch, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it complements the bamboo forest and grassland. It's not just a big brick!"

Several people laughed loudly, and when they spoke, they arrived in the courtyard of the thatched hut, only to see three bronze characters on the forehead of the middle door - Libentang.

Wu Kui still seems to resent Uncle Concubine's beat, and intends to test her: "Mrs. E, tell me, what do these three words mean?"

Uncle Yu took a closer look: "Although I don't know much about reading, I know that Mr. Yi is a defender."

Wu Kui was surprised: "Wow! How do you know?"

Shuyu pointed to the big characters on the door and said: "Weiguo characters, hook the right vertical knife outward, this "Li" character is its shape. When you are traveling outside the country and thinking about your homeland, you can have such a nostalgic moment."

Yi Gong arched his hand and smiled: "Madame's insight into the candlelight, it is the Weiguo Puyang clan below."

Wu Kui smiled and quipped, "Senior brother doesn't have to beat the side drum, you just say, what does it mean?"

"First, the clear engraving of the Ben, the meaning of the righteousness, the true meaning, the righteousness is the root of business."

"So there's a second to that?"

"Such an argument is inconclusive, and its meaning is difficult to understand after all."

"Senior brother is saying that righteousness is the foundation of profit, and the reason doesn't make sense?"

"If you can write a great article on the establishment of "righteousness as the foundation of profit" and analyze it thoroughly, everyone in the world will also be able to do it."

"Good!" Wu Kui clapped his hands and laughed: "Senior brother, it seems that your argument is not solid."

"What do you say?" Yi Gong smiled modestly: "I'm just doing it with my heart, one sentence at a time. Zhu Wenli said, that is the business of everyone like the master, but Gong doesn't dare to think about it."

He looked back and beckoned, "Let's go, how about the three of you take a shower for an hour, and then get together at dusk to drink?"

At noon, the three of Wu Kui were bumpy all the way, but they were really tired physically and mentally with sweat and heavy clothes. Immediately, two young servants, a man and a woman, came over and led them to the back hall of the hut. Moments later, the backroom was quiet again.

Half an hour later, Wu Kui, who was wearing a dark curtain on his head, walked out of the bedroom like a ghost, and the young maid, who had been waiting at the door, greeted him and whispered, "Sir is already waiting on the ship."

Wu Kui nodded, and under the guidance of the maid, he walked through the bamboo forest, bypassed Tianmouzhai, and returned to the water's edge. When the boat came, it was still leaning on the shore, and the boatman was nowhere to be seen, only Yi Gong heard the sound and came out, holding it with his empty hand, and Wu Kui stepped on the board bridge to get on the boat without saying a word. Behind him, Yi Gong jumped up, and the boat had rowed out silently.

"Senior sister, please, the master has been waiting in the cabin for a long time." Yi Gong arched his hand and opened the hatch. There were no palm lights in the cabin, only a bright daylight pouring into the small cabin. Wu Kui took three or two steps around the oncoming wooden shadow wall, and saw the familiar tall and thin figure standing motionless by the side of the boat, staring at the blue sky.

"Wu Kui has seen Master."

Rong Yi turned around, his expression solemn and solemn: "There is no need to be polite in the boat, come, sit down and talk." He turned around and stepped into the cabin: "Gong, after swinging into the heart of the pool, you also come in and take a seat, and you have important matters to discuss."

Yi Gong agreed, and quietly went to the bow of the boat. Wu Kui sipped the tea on the table while silently looking at the master.

"What do you think of this plan?" Rong Yi said abruptly.

"The master's strategy is unprecedented, and the apprentice admires it. It's just that after thinking about it again, I still feel that there are two mistakes."

"Oh? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"One, it's too rushed. If you want to take advantage of the wedding of the Son of Heaven to build momentum, the price of Tonghua will rise, and a branch of madder is rare, it is not a temporary effort. It will take time for the crowd to ferment, and if the wedding of the Son of Heaven is just around the corner, it will be difficult to become a trend."

Rong Yi frowned deeply, and gently knocked on the case: "Now that the downward trend is about to enter winter, and the matter of applying for a candidate to choose a wife has repeatedly gone wrong, I have written to the king, suggesting that the wedding date be postponed to the early autumn of the next year, so that everything can be calm. Not surprisingly, the king would allow it, and the matter was no longer a problem. Where else is the second?"
