The group of people wandered slowly and came to a pagoda behind the temple. This is a pavilion-style pagoda. The pagoda is a seven-level hexagonal brick pagoda, 29 meters high, with a cone shape, and brick carvings under the eaves of each floor on the outside.
The imitation wooden structure of Yang and Dougong has four layers of overlapping bricks, and the waist eaves are built with lotus flowers. There are two gates in the north and south on the first floor for visitors to go up and down. The lintels are each inlaid with stone tablets, and the south gate is inscribed with "Zhen".
"National Tower" and the words "Protect the Country and Protect the People" on the north gate are both in seal script. The remaining four sides are each inlaid with a stone tablet without characters. From the second floor to the seventh floor, there is a window on each side. There are towers from bottom to top in the tower.
The ventricle, the top of the dome, and the door all face north. The rest are equipped with Buddhist niches. Spiral steps are built around the ventricle of the tower to climb to the top of the tower. The interior of the top of the tower is built with green bricks and the blue "Bagua Diagram". The exterior is covered with peacock orchid glazed tiles, with six
The ridge represents the Qilin, which is beautiful and lifelike in shape.
Yu Tianrong stared at it for a long time and couldn't take his eyes away, and sighed: "What a beautiful woman, ancient and modern are blended together, and the small and exquisite are among them. The collection of cultural relics broadens the horizons, and the upper floors open up the mind. The cauldron is dedicated to thousands of Buddhas, and the auspicious energy flows through the space.
.The blessings of the Three Jewels bring you much blessings and wisdom, and the flowers bloom and you can enjoy the spring breeze."
Ancestor Xi was stunned when he heard the poem, this woman...
"Madam, your poem is too boastful. If Si Yan hears it, he will be very proud again!"
Yu Tianrong looked at him in surprise, "Why, was this tower designed by Mr. Si Yan?"
Xi Bingxuan nodded, "Other than that guy, who would do such a thing?"
"Yes, he is indeed an excellent designer!"
Xi Bingxuan curled her lips and said with amusement: "Madam, you seem to have never praised anyone like this before!"
"Haha, Bingxuan, your martial arts and medical skills are also excellent! I told you before."
Xi Bingxuan gave her a dissatisfied look, is that all?
"Madam, the weather has changed suddenly. I'm afraid heavy rain is coming." Xia Yue, who was behind him, suddenly interrupted.
Only then did Yu Tianrong realize that the sky was slowly getting dark, and dark clouds were coming from the distance. He frowned slightly, "It seems we need to find a place to take shelter from the rain quickly!"
Xi Bingxuan looked depressed. It was a rare time for him to come here, but everything went wrong. It was really disgusting. He glanced at his ancestor and sighed, "Ancestor, I think we should go bother Si Yan and ask him to arrange a rest room.
Otherwise, if you go down the mountain and get caught in the rain, your body will be damaged."
Ancestor Xi nodded, "That's all." After speaking, he glanced at Yu Tianrong again, and said with a smile: "I just heard a poem by Miss Yu, which made me admire her. I don't know where Miss Yu's family came from.
She must be a girl from a scholarly family, otherwise how could she be so talented?"
"Haha, Patriarch Xi is joking. Tianrong is just an ordinary person. He has read a few books, but he is not as talented as he is!"
Xi Bingxuan thought for a while and whispered a few words in his ancestor's ear. Then he saw that Xi's eyes suddenly shone, and he seemed to value Yu Tianrong more. Zhu Manxiang didn't hear Xi Bingxuan's words, so she naturally thought that Xi Bingxuan said
He said something nice and hated Yu Tianrong even more. He took his ancestor’s hand and said coquettishly: “Ancestor, you don’t even talk to Xiang’er anymore!”
Patriarch Xi patted her hand and said affectionately: "You girl, how can I neglect you? Miss Yu is a guest. How can I, the host, not greet you? You, you know how to act coquettishly and follow me like a coquettish person."
Your cousin goes and acts like a spoiled brat!"
Zhu Manxiang raised her eyes and glanced at Xi Bingxuan shyly, "Ancestor, you have canceled Xiang'er again!" Whether he was a member of her own family or someone who was protecting her, she secretly glanced at Yu Tianrong and smiled proudly.
Yu Tianrong turned a blind eye to this boring woman!
When Si Yan saw them coming back, including Ancestor Xi, he immediately came up to greet them. After some polite greetings, he personally took them to a wing to rest, "It's rare for Ancestor Xi to come here, so I won't disturb your gathering.
I’ll have tea and rice brought to you later.”
Patriarch Xi looked at Si Yan with a smile, as if he liked him very much, "Si Yan, please stop working around. It's a rare occasion for me to come out. If you don't have anything important to do, please stay with me, an old woman!"
Si Yan thought for a moment, then looked at Xi Bingxuan and said, "Okay, then I'll go and let them handle some official business and then I can accompany my ancestors."
Si Yan came back not long after he left. It seemed that he respected the ancestor of the Xi Mansion very much. I don't know if it was because of Xi Bingxuan's relationship or something else. Moreover, when he talked to the ancestor of Xi, he was chatting and laughing, and there was no age at all.
Just like the estrangement, Patriarch Xi obviously liked Si Yan very much, and his words revealed his regret that his great-grandson, Xi Bingxuan, was not as considerate as Si Yan.
Yu Tianrong also likes such a harmonious atmosphere. It is rare for an old man to have someone as funny as Laozu Xi, and it is also rare to have a young man like Si Yan who has the patience to amuse the old man. He can be said to be extremely filial! Compared to Xi Bingxuan, who has always been taciturn.
He said that Si Yan was indeed much kinder.
During the dinner, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ancestor Xi said what Yu Tianrong had said before about praising Si Yan's design of the tower. Si Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Yu Tianrong with a look of loss.
He didn't expect her knowledge to be that good. That poem sounded extraordinary. It seemed that he had underestimated her.
