Chapter 21
After entering Guo’s house, Cui Po first realized that the saying “As soon as you enter the Marquis’ door is as deep as the sea” is not false. It has taken up most of the entire Daozhengfang, and there are countless thousands of households. Because today is a happy day, the entire mansion has been dressed up in a new look, even the family members and maids are all new clothes and smiling happily.
Guo Yan led the two straight through the pavilion, the middle hall, and then through the backyard. He saw the main bedroom where he was located. He walked around from the ring-shaped pavilion in the wing room of the main bedroom and came to the back garden. He walked along the way and didn't know how many heavy houses and heavy courtyards he had passed, which made Cui Po completely lose his direction and was shocked.
Although it is a back garden, it is very wide, with dozens or hundreds of acres. When Cui Po looked at it, he saw that the pavilions and terraces in the garden were one fifth, clear and clear waters were one seventh, and green bamboos were one nineth, and the rest were all flowers and trees. The circle was connected by island trees and bridges. There were countless civil servants and generals lingering among them, some were drinking pairs, some were listening to songs, and some were strange scholars holding books and singing. Only in this back garden, there were also pavilions, pavilions, bridges, boats, books, wine, songs and strings. It was really a paradise.
"There are so many people coming today. It's too hot this day, so I have to arrange for everyone to take a break in this back garden. Fortunately, the garden is not small and the scenery is worth considering. It's more comfortable and refreshing than in the hall. If there is any negligence, please forgive me, Lord Shu," Guo Yan explained on the side.
"That's great! This arrangement is elegant. If you have something to do, please go there. I'll wait for myself to watch and play," Cui Youfu replied with a smile.
There are many things happening today. If Cui Youfu hadn't had a special status, he would have been here. Seeing that such words, Guo Yan would no longer be polite, so he bowed and went to another place to make arrangements.
Cui Po followed the clan's uncle slowly forward. Unexpectedly, he took only two steps. Many civil and military officials dressed in various cultural decorations saw that the legitimate cold-faced Zhongshu arrived. He felt that it was a good time to have a good relationship. They came up to greet each other, and many others gathered here. In just a moment, Cui Po was surrounded by a sea of people. Seeing that Cui Zhongshu was busy, Cui Po stopped his thoughts and quietly pulled out, wandering around alone.
When he passed through the pavilion, Cui Po saw a huge weeping willow by the pool ahead, surrounded by a group of figures dressed in military officers. There was a faint sound of playing the piano and singing music in the middle. Curiously, Cui Po also slowly stepped over and got closer, just in time to catch up with a sentence: "Please sleep with flowers today!" But he wrote in Changlefang a few days ago, but he unexpectedly passed it to the House of the Ministers in just a few days.
The song ended, Cui Po saw a left-level guard with a lion on his chest on the front side and said loudly: "This song is still interesting! It's much better than the group of fake models on the rockery. Does that... girl have any more? Let's have another song."
Cui Po smiled slightly and shook his head, turned around and walked away elsewhere. Naturally, no one would take the initiative to talk to him. He was also happy and wandered around the two ponds. He had just turned out a flower pavilion, but saw a group of women gathering to play. Dozens of swings were formed on the willow branches. Most of these swings were made of colorful ropes hanging on the trees, and the ropes were blue, red, green, and purple, and especially green, many ladies.
As the joy was playing, all kinds of clothes were floating in the air, and it was a beautiful scene. Cui Po only glanced a few times and was immediately attracted by a purple swing that was swinging. A woman in yellow was swinging higher and higher. It was really "Hui Huiruo and Gao Shu" that only attracted the girls who were watching below to applaud; there were also those who held their hearts in shock; there were also several young women shouting hurriedly below: "Aruo...Aruo...Sisters admit defeat, you come down quickly."
Cui Po only heard a burst of silver bell-like laughter from the swing high in the air. After a while, the swing gradually fell down. A girl walked down from the swing. Although she looked from a distance, the figure also made Cui Po feel very familiar. When Cui Po saw the girl getting off the swing, she giggled and inserted her hands into her waist, and shouted loudly: "You are all convinced this time!"
When Cui Po saw this familiar action, he felt his eyes turn black and sighed: "It seems that today is really unfavorable to travel, and he will hit the evil spirit when he goes out." He turned around and walked around elsewhere.
Walking in the opposite direction, it was already far away. Cui Po had just completely relieved and saw a rockery in front of him. Unlike the group of military generals, all the scholars in Confucian uniforms gathered here, kneeling on the ground in a stern manner, looking at the five or six people in the middle of the crowd. Cui Po also leaned quietly on the last one and knelt down, and asked a scholar beside him, "Who are the people in the middle?"
"Even the famous ten talented men don't know, you dare to wear this Confucian shirt." The man looked at Cui Po contemptuously and hummed in his nose.
Seeing him like this, Cui Po was too lazy to talk to him anymore, and calmed down to hear these masterpieces of talented men who were famous all over the world. Unexpectedly, what made him very depressed was that these people did not know how to write, but were just bragging about each other, saying that one day, one day, one time, one time, one time, one was treated with courtesy, praise, etc. Cui Po was so overwhelmed that he could not bear it anymore and stood up and left, which inevitably caused the strong contempt of the man beside him.
Just wandering around like this, Cui Po also saw a rough appreciation of the beautiful scenery in the garden and saw many strangely dressed aliens lingering in the garden. It seems that they were also representing the tribes to celebrate their birthdays. The people in the garden were also divided into groups, with different people of all kinds, and their identities were naturally gathered together. No one cared about the lonely ghosts like Cui Po.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Cui Po stopped wandering around and returned to the place where he had just separated from his clan's uncle Cui Youfu. He saw that there was nothing at all. So he pulled a servant next to him and asked, "Do you know where Cui Zhongshu went?"
"You are Mr. Cui Po," the clerk asked. Seeing that Cui Po nodded in response, he immediately continued to say: "Shu Cui and all the adults have entered the Fushou Zhengtang to talk about tea. The villain has been ordered by Master Zhongshu to wait for the young master here, so I will take the young master here." After saying that, he immediately turned around and led the way.
After another twists and turns, the two of them came to a courtyard. When they entered the courtyard, Cui Po saw an extremely large courtyard that could accommodate thousands of people. There was a strict main hall on the back of the courtyard. There was a wooden plaque hanging above, with three large mud gold characters "Fu Shou Hall".
