2 The lintel of wealth
Suzhou is not far from the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, but after a long time, Shen Sanwen waited for Wang Bin, who came to admire him.
Wang Bin's days around Lingyin Temple to eliminate violence and peace, save the poor and help the poor were very free, much more free and easy than Shen Sanwen's days.
Of course, after Shen San asked that Jigong was a name that could become a Buddha, he changed his name to Gongji.
Sounds like it's no different.
Wang Bin purely came to see the new rich people in Suzhou, and came to eat casually.
It is said that in winter, fresh vegetables can be served here.
I heard that all the seafood on the table here is something that the countrymen and some petty officials have never seen.
I heard that the male and female hosts here, although they are not young, are very well maintained, the male hosts are particularly handsome, and the hostesses are particularly beautiful.
In short, what others describe here is like a fairyland.
If you don't come to see it, Wang Bin feels uncomfortable.
Outside the house is a tall wall, which is at least one and a half people high, which shows the owner's extraordinaryness.
Then there is the surrounding environment, the weeds are not left, the courtyard wall is ten miles around the good bluestone bricks, people clean every day, although the owner does not grow out, but the people are always meticulous.
Then there are the trees that come into view.
Not only inside the courtyard walls, but also outside the walls, there are many different types of towering trees.
Tall and sturdy trees are not suitable for transplanting, but it is not impossible, but the cost of transplanting is particularly high.
But the owner of the house transplanted twelve trees around the courtyard.
In ancient times, there was a saying that trees surround the garden and youth is always there.
However, Wang Bin knew that such rich and noble families didn't care about these at all.
The twelve trees are all scented trees, some flowering, some not flowering but evergreen with a long fragrance.
Moreover, the owner of the courtyard is particularly skillful in controlling the distance between each tree, so that the fragrance will not be confused, and the people around the courtyard and the courtyard wall will not be able to smell the elegant fragrance.
When Wang Bin was outside the door, he began to guess who could be such a tyrant.
It's a waste of luxury! Their Wang family would not suddenly build such a compound in other places, and it would be great to plant some in the courtyard.
After all, the Maison has always pursued a low-key connotation.
Is it the big power? Could it be that it is rumored that the king of the northland has come here?
Then, a huge plaque of the house gate came into view.
There is no surname of the owner's family, and there is no common mansion written on it, but there is an unusually atmospheric calligraphy, and it is written that Chun and Jingming are big characters.
The font color is bright blue, the background is gray and black jade, and the signature is flying white.
Ordinary people don't know, but Wang Bin knows the owner of that font.
It was the calligraphy of Wu Zetian, the mother of today's Holy Mother.
It's like hanging a priceless treasure at the door!
Atmosphere!
The emperor has been dead for a long time, but the owner here can still have her calligraphy, and even with a vague payment, Wang Bin feels that this person must be as rumored to be from a lot of background.
It seems that he can eat a good meal this time, Meizizizi.
Under the plaque are two thick gates, walking on the bluestone path, the strange fragrance on both sides comes, which makes people feel refreshed.
These trees look particularly withered in winter, and Wang Bin almost can't recognize what kind of tree they are if it weren't for the smell.
However, walking in it, Wang Bin felt that this trip was worth it, this tree not only has the effect of refreshing the mind, but also can make people get rid of physical and mental exhaustion, if the farmers rest nearby, it can be of great benefit.
The owner of the mansion is really kind.
Two green jade lions in front of the door.
What a pride!
Aren't you afraid that people will steal it?
Wang Bin gently stroked the lion, and it was actually a good Beidi Fulu Shou color white fat hand feel translucent and permeable green jade.
The master must have known him.
Wang Bin raised his hand, pulled up the gilded ring on the door, and knocked lightly.
He didn't know when the door would be opened, but he did know that he had been wrong.
This round knocker is definitely not gilded, but pure gold!
With such a proud wealth outside, he is not afraid that there will be villains who will take the lion and the knocker down at night?
Ding!
A crisp sound rang out from the heavy wooden door.
This door is actually made of rosewood!
The texture of rosewood is so hard that it takes at least 30 days to punch holes in it. Countless pieces of rosewood are spliced together into such a gate, and the polishing work is probably calculated in years.
With this door and this ring, ordinary people can say that they will not be able to eat it all in their lifetime.
Wang Bin decided to have a big meal, and it was best to take some with him, otherwise he would be sorry for his trip, and he was sorry for the host to be so proud.
If you eat less, you don't give face to others!
After thinking about it, Wang Bin decided to be cautious, in case this door is not all made of red sandalwood, isn't it wronged?
Although someone respectfully came and opened the door for him, he did not enter.
Instead, he tapped on the four corners of the door and tapped on the center to see if it was made of all rosewood.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Sure enough, Howe is Howe.
Seeing him like this, the porter didn't stop him, but said with a smile, "There aren't many people here in Suzhou who know the texture of this door, and finally a master is knowledgeable." ”
Wang Bin: "Oh, in this way, you also know the texture of this door, it's not easy, little brother." ”
Concierge: "Don't dare to be, it's just to do chores for the host's house, I don't know if the guest is coming to visit my master, or if there is any difficulty, if it is reasonable, the villain can solve it for you." ”
Wang Bin: "Your master is so cold, he doesn't see the guest to send you to do things?" ”
Concierge: "Distinguished guests, please don't misunderstand, it's just that some people visited my master before just a few polite words, and the host is bored, if there is a need for help, the villain will definitely convey it on his behalf, and will not mislead you." ”
Wang Bin: "In the lower Gongji, it is a monk of Lingyin Temple, a lay disciple, and your master is an old friend, go and spread the word." ”
Concierge: "Please wait. ”
Wang Bin: "Wait a minute, aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?" Your master is so cold, won't you be punished if you make a mistake? ”
Concierge: "You're joking, the two masters of my family are notoriously peaceful, wait a minute, you can also wait in the front yard for a while, the inner courtyard may have to wait until the master has seen it." ”
Wang Bin nodded, "Then I'll wait in the inner courtyard." ”
Saying that, Wang Bin stepped into the inner courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, he knew who the owner of the courtyard was.
The outer courtyard is a lot of space, but the edges are rainproof, much longer than the rainproof space of ordinary houses.
On the edge of the high courtyard wall, there is a rainproof canopy about half an arm's length, and the tip of the canopy is low and upturned, so that it will not obstruct the view of the rain-shelterers, and it will not get wet on rainy days.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there is only one person who can afford to use this courtyard pomp and like this design.
