Chapter 53: Steamed Lamb

Feng Shui is a thing that people who have to understand, because there are a lot of theoretical words, and what she says makes people feel credible.

After saying this, although Bai Ting felt that Yuan Tiantian must be to help Yang Guang open the canal, what he said was the truth, and he listened to it because he believed in feng shui.

"What does the girl think?"

"There are two strategies, the best strategy is naturally to move the grave, but it is extremely difficult to find a place like the terrain here, you should start looking earlier, and it is normal to use it for the last three or five years."

"The next policy is to artificially open the river and forcibly divert water to refill the original river, but because it is man-made, it may not be good to artificially change the natural trend, and no one can predict what situation it will cause.

Bai Ting smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, girl." ”

Yang Guang saw that Yuan Tiantian didn't have anything to do with the opening of the canal, and he was a little puzzled, but he didn't interrupt or ask more.

There is no way to do it today, this section is delayed, and the others are excavated first, and Yang Guang will take people away.

On the way back, Yang Guang asked Yuan Tiantian: "Why don't you persuade him to dig the mountain and let the waterway come over." ”

"Your Royal Highness, such a purpose is too obvious, that Bai Ting is so old, the things he has seen and heard have already made him a fine general, to fool this kind of person must be nine points true and one point false, there is no need to say that he wants to open the river at the beginning, what I said to him today is true, the trend of the mountains and rivers is the phase of the declining mountains, I believe he will definitely find someone who is good at feng shui to take a look, verified my statement, and may ask for the door at that time."

"You seem to be confident."

"Your Highness, I have a specialization in the art industry, this is my major, so I naturally have to be confident."

Yang Guang smiled and said, "If you don't come to the door to beg, I will definitely punish you." ”

Yuan Tiantian pouted and did not speak.

Ma Gu rode a horse and followed with a worried face: "Your Highness, if you don't understand the Bai family, if you don't let the mountain open, the river will have to be detoured, not to mention the time and effort, and the ship will be much troublesome." ”

Yang Guang naturally understood this truth, but said: "You should negotiate with the Bai family more first, and it would be good to negotiate amicably, but if it really doesn't work, you can only take a detour, and if you are troublesome, you will be troublesome." ”

"Yes, Wechen understands."

……

Ma Gu turned back to the Bai family, and contrary to his previous attitude, Bai Ting welcomed him into the inner courtyard.

Ma Gu smiled and said: "Bai Lao, I'll just say it, King Jin cherishes his reputation very much, and he will definitely be soft." ”

Bai Ting was also smiling: "You are still reliable, if you can succeed this time, my Bai family will thank you well." ”

"Bai Lao is polite, if my junior can do something for you, it is naturally right, Bai Lao has treated me like his own nephew for many years, I should think more about you."

Bai Ting laughed: "With your words, I am relieved, the family has prepared a thin wine for you today, and it is not early, let's eat and leave." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Gu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes narrowed slightly: "The banquet prepared by Bai Lao must have my favorite steamed lamb." ”

As soon as the words fell, a large steaming drawer was brought up, Bai Ting lifted the lid, and the hot white gas came out, making people see clearly, the middle of the steaming drawer was a white and tender steamed lamb, and the water droplets slowly slipped down from the white and smooth skin, and Magu drooled when he saw it.

Magu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, but was stopped by Bai Ting.

"Bai Lao, what is this for?"

"The steamed lamb is fresh and tender, it's too hot now."

"It's still Bai Lao's thoughtfulness."

Ma Gu was anxious to eat hot tofu, so he put down his chopsticks first, rubbed his palms, blinked and said: "When I fell ill after Daning Ling, bedridden, I sought medical treatment, but I saw many doctors who could not be cured, and then I got a lamb, steamed with apricot cheese and schisandra, called "crispy belly", after eating, the condition was really good, although I am not sick now, but I still can't let go of this lamb, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I am almost hungry to death. ”

In the end, Magu still couldn't hold back, moved the chopsticks directly, and put a large piece of it in his mouth, which was very hot, but Magu still blinked twice and ate it.

Bai Ting walked out of the room silently, didn't look at it, shook his head and sighed at the door.

Bai Ting, who walked to the front hall, said to his sons: "If the canal built by King Jin can be diverted this time, and after the diversion is slightly guided, the river that was about to dry up before will have water again, and our Bai family's long dragon will come back to life, and the decline of our family over the years can be reversed, and the children and grandchildren of the Bai family will have to do their best." ”

"Father, we should do our best, but will King Jin really do what we want? Although the son sees that he is a good person, but the son hears that he is not such an easy person to fool, will His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who is deeply relied on by His Majesty, be soft on us? ”

Bai Ting's son's question is also Bai Ting's own question, although King Jin behaves politely, can he really make King Jin change his mind?

Now he has to appease his family first: "King Jin has always cherished his wings and reputation, and he will not use it strongly, and compared to such a big project as the canal, it is just a little bit of a bend, but it is just a trivial matter, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will never damage his reputation for such a thing, and end up with a notoriety of digging people's ancestral graves." ”

After giving the family a chicken blood to stabilize people's hearts, Bai Ting said: "Now my father is more concerned about what the witch in the palace said. ”

"Father, that witch seems to have some ability, and when she first arrived here today, she analyzed our situation clearly in a few words."

"Yes, this little girl is amazing, she is a capable person, we invited so many feng shui masters to analyze the decline in recent years for us, nothing was spent, and the result was similar to the little girl's words, only a little girl said something that no one else said."

"Which point, father?"

"It may not be good to artificially change the natural trend, and when I hear her say this, I always have a suspense in my heart, thinking that it will really be bad after changing."

"Father, could it be alarmist?"

"I thought about it and thought about it, I think it makes sense, you think, if it is man-made, then not only the river, but also the mountain, how can the long dragon hit the water situation with so many years of searching for the ancestors?"

Bai Ting's son was extremely worried and said, "Then what you said does make sense." ”

"The stars change, the mountains and rivers change, how can manpower change, and then find some masters of feng shui to analyze more, if this is a canal to divert water, can it really continue our family's long dragon to draw water?"

"Yes, father."

After Bai Ting's son responded, he lowered his voice and said, "Father, what about Magu?" This person is insatiable, asks for money and people, and often wants to eat the steamed lamb, will something happen? ”

"He was arrested by Motozuka Zai before and put him in prison, but he was not reactivated and entrusted with important tasks, who knows if he was trusted in front of King Jin, we have to coax him, this matter can't be without his help, he can eat the steamed lamb if he wants, it's not a big problem."

Bai Ting's son looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but left with a sigh.

Bai Ting came to the ancestral hall alone, knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and muttered to himself: "Ancestors bless, for decades, the Bai family has been filial to their children and grandchildren, and they have been rising steadily. ”

He kowtowed like this, and basically didn't close his eyes all night.

……

In Luoyang City, Yang Guang slept and woke up when he was already three poles old.

Yuan Tiantian waited on the side: "Your Highness, why did you sleep in Luoyang longer than in Chang'an before." ”

"Can't you be lazy when you're out and about?"

"Your Highness, the general eunuch Wang Lung has arrived, and since you are resting, he went to the shipyard by himself."

Yang Guang was not in a hurry to go, but said to Yuan Tiantian: "Come here, help me get dressed." ”

Yuan Tiantian had to go over to serve Yang Guang and get dressed, and today he was wearing a particularly formal one, which set off the whole person's special spirit.

"Why is Your Highness dressed like this today?"

"I got the news before going to bed last night, Master Wang has arrived in Luoyang, Master Wang has to meet him no matter how he arrives, Master is particular about people, so he has to make some preparations."

Wang Long, who was responsible for establishing the Academy Alliance, arrived in Luoyang.

Yang Guang went to the place where Wang Long was, it was an empty courtyard, and the school in Luoyang was placed here, Wang Fuzi was here with Yang Xuangan, and Yuan Xiaoju was also there.

There is no doubt that the school in Luoyang has to be undertaken by the Yuan family of Yuan Xiaoju.

At this time, Yang Guang understood that he couldn't show that he was too enthusiastic about the school, Yuan Xiaoju and the prince were in the same party, once he found out that he was very enthusiastic about the school, he might deliberately cause some damage, and at this stage, when there is nothing they can do, it is better to have as few extraneous branches as possible now.

"Master Wang, Brother Yang, Motozuka Zai."

Wang Long saw Yang Guang, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he greeted him with Confucian etiquette very respectfully: "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin. ”

Yuan Xiaoju looked at Wang Long saluting Yang Guang but didn't expect that this Wang Fuzi, who seemed to be detached, had a rather flattering attitude in front of King Jin, and he was also a pretentious person, but he just pretended in front of them.

"Master Wang, this school is very empty."

"Your Highness, the school hasn't opened yet."

"Oh, I see."

The simple two sentences made Yuan Xiaoju feel that Yang Guang didn't know about the affairs of the school, because when the Ivy League was discussed at that time, only King Wei was present, and the others didn't know that this was Yang Guang's idea.

Yuan Xiaoju opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the school is a place for Your Majesty to build and study for students all over the world, and the school in Luoyang will be opened soon, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin will be invited to visit at that time." ”

"Come, come."

Looking at the conversation between the two, Yang Xuangan and Wang Long understood Yang Guang's meaning.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, let's take a look at the academy here with the old minister."

"Very good."

"Your Highness, the school in Luoyang City is the same as that in Daxing City, and the school and technical college are opened together."

"It couldn't be better."

"Your Highness, I hope Your Highness can come with you on the day of enrollment."
