Chapter 105: Guiyuan
Under the guidance of a subordinate of the Wei Mansion, Zhang Xuan and his party walked towards the venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting!
Along the way, the four people were amazed, this Wei Mansion is worthy of being a princely family, in front of them is a typical Jiangnan water town-style building, flying eaves corners, carved beams and painted buildings, five steps and a pavilion, ten steps and a floor, in the low place, is an endless flaming red lantern, in the high, there are countless lanterns supported by bamboo poles more than three zhang high.
Under the reflection of the moonlight and lights, there are clusters of green shrubs, clusters of flowers blooming in autumn! Occasionally, a few evergreen trees, a few rockeries, a few lotus ponds, a few small bridges and flowing water, the simple and elegant atmosphere is blowing in the face!
"It's so beautiful here, young master!" the little girl pulled Zhang Xuan's sleeve and said enviously.
"Hehe, does Bao'er like it?" asked Zhang Xuan.
"I like it!" the little girl blurted out.
Hearing the little girl's words, Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "It seems that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to renovate the ancestral house!"
"Everything in the Wei Mansion is good, but it's too big! Although I have been in the Wei Mansion for more than half a year, this twist and turn is not only difficult to recognize, but it is also too time-consuming to travel!" Sun Tzu Chu answered.
At this time, everyone had been walking for a quarter of an hour under the leadership of the servant, and seeing that the hour was about to arrive, there was still no sign of reaching the destination, no wonder Sun Zichu was a little complaining.
As a typical reader who has studied hard for ten years, it is conceivable that he attaches great importance to such a poetry meeting, and if he misses it because he is late, he will definitely regret it for life!
"Hehe, Zichu don't be impatient, do you say that the emperor will think that the palace is too big and the travel is too time-consuming?" Zhang Xuan stepped forward to persuade.
Indeed, the imperial palace is a symbol of power in the world, and every emperor will only think that it is not big enough and not grand enough!
As for the others, naturally someone will do everything, just like the travel just said, the near can walk, the middle can sit in a sedan car, and the far one has a car to run, so inconvenient!
As a princely family, the Wei Mansion naturally inherited this characteristic, and it is said that it is as deep as the Hou Gate, in addition to saying that there are many rules in the Hou Mansion and the depth of the water, the size of the mansion on the surface is also contained in it.
"What Wenbo said is reasonable, Zichu should calm down!" Wang Fatzi followed.
The Dayong Dynasty is very similar to the Song Dynasty, and the scholars often talk about the emperor, so Zhang Xuan's emperor is not surprised when he comes out to make an analogy!
"Thank you for the persuasion of the two brothers!!," Sun Mao bowed and bowed. The three of them were courteous again.
In fact, this is also human nature, just like the current fresh college students have the opportunity to work in the world's top 100 companies, it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous.
As for Zhang Xuan and Wang Fatzi, Zhang Xuan has a good attitude because he doesn't care, and Wang Fatzi has a lot of experience in the world!
After walking for another quarter of an hour, a gust of autumn wind hit, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus suddenly permeated everyone's noses, lingering, and making everyone unconsciously refreshed!
Even the subordinate who led the way in front broke the silence along the way: "Hehe, lords, Guiyuan, where the poetry meeting is held, is about to arrive." Moreover, the moment is only the time when the masters enter the house, and the beginning of the real poetry will be postponed for a moment, so you don't have to worry at all!"
Hearing the words of the next person, the three of them looked at each other and smiled: "That's good, if you are really late, the three of you will definitely become the 'focus' of this poetry meeting!"
Wang Fatzi directly rewarded his subordinates with one or two lines of silver, and he was so happy that his subordinates smiled, and bowed and thanked him again and again.
One or two pieces of silver, that is 800 yuan, which is enough to be worth his monthly salary for a month and a half!
When Zhang Xuan saw it, he directly gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Wang is really a local tyrant!"
"Oh, Wenbo, what is a local tyrant?" Sun Tzu Chu's heart knot was untied and became active.
Hearing Sun Zichu's question, Zhang Xuan was stunned, and then remembered that it is not modern now, but this is not difficult for Zhang Xuan, who will never forget: "Do the two brothers know the Book of Song?"
"The Book of Song?, could it be that Wenbo is talking about the Book of Song written by Xiu Wengong?" Sun Tzu Chu exclaimed.
"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded and said: "The Book of Song, The Biography of Yin Yan has a saying: 'Uncle Bao, the son of Du Tan, is a local tyrant and a countryman, and he specializes in both internal and external military affairs. "The natives, the natives, the heroes, the heroes! The generous and prestigious, I call the local tyrants!"
"Wenbo is really well-read and strong!" Sun Tzu Chu said.
"The young master is so powerful!" The little girl was also full of little stars, although she couldn't understand it, but she could see that Brother Sun was also convinced by his young master.
"Tuhao, I like this word, please call me Wang Tuhao in the future!" Wang Fatzi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he felt that the word Tuhao had a special momentum, and it sounded very sensitive.
"It's here, gentlemen, please!"
Laughing and laughing all the way, unconsciously arrived at the venue of the poetry meeting, Zhang Xuan and a few people looked up, and saw a round arch, on the arch was written the word "Guiyuan"! A burst of rich osmanthus fragrance wafted out from the courtyard. "Young master, young master, these two words Bao'er knows, it's called Guiyuan, right?" Bao'er blinked with a pair of big eyes, and looked cute to praise me.
Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand and nodded the little girl's nose, and praised: "Yes, our family Bao'er is the best!"
"Hehe!" was praised by her own young master, and the little girl was very happy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the villain will retire first!" Such a poetry meeting place is not something that he, a second-class family member, can enter, and after Wang Fatzi waved his hand, he respectfully withdrew.
After the four of them entered the door, they walked along the bluestone path through the laurel forest, and after walking about 100 meters, they could faintly hear the human voice, and after a while, the eyes suddenly opened up.
What greeted you was a huge square paved with white jade, shining in the moonlight, glowing with a bright white light. Thousands of red lanterns are hung on the heights around the square, reflecting the fiery red sky over the entire square, as if they want to compete with the bright moon!
There are more than 30 stone tables carved of white jade in the square, the table is full of Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies, there is an open space of about 60 square meters left in the front place in the center of the square, and then in front is a lotus pond, the lotus flowers in the pond bloom extraordinarily luxuriantly, standing on the square, there is the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance of lotus flowers.
In the center of the lotus pond, is a delicate octagonal pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by white gauze to block, can not see the inside clearly, between the pavilion and the square, there is a small bridge carved of white jade to connect, so that the octagonal pavilion and the vacated square look like a gourd!
The poetry meeting hasn't started yet, but the people are basically here!
The square was full of people, and 100 young people in green shirts gathered together, chatting in their respective circles in twos and threes, which was not spectacular! There were also beautiful maids holding melons, fruits, and wines and shuttled lightly between the crowds, as if they were in the world!
