Prince Teng's Mansion is located at the intersection of South 4th Street and East 6th Street. The East City of the four cities of Yingtianfu is the most prosperous, followed by the South City. In the East City, there are concentrated restaurants, restaurants, brothels and Goulan and other dining and entertainment places. In the East City, there are serious residential buildings.
They are all adjacent to the city wall, and the sections further in are occupied by merchants.
But Prince Teng's Mansion is located where these businesses gather. In terms of location value alone, the gate of the Prince's Mansion facing East Sixth Street alone occupies the space of more than a dozen prosperous shops. Su Jin couldn't help but see this pattern.
He thought maliciously: If he smashed the gate and turned it into more than a dozen cloth shops and garment shops, he would earn at least one hundred thousand yuan a year.
Su Jin had no self-awareness and actually ordered Xiao Zhuzhu to drive the mule cart to the gate of the palace before stopping the car. The little green mule, rolling his eyes, stood out among the crowd of tall horses in front of the palace, which annoyed Zheng Zheng.
The crowd of congratulators who came in looked sideways.
Su Jin didn't think about that. He straightened his clothes and walked up the high steps. He looked around as he walked, secretly admiring the splendor of Prince Teng's Mansion. The two red lacquered doors, which were more than a foot high, were covered with bright yellow-orange copper nails.
It is half a foot thick. It would take three or five healthy servants to open and close such a door. The auspicious beasts on both sides of the door are also different from those in front of ordinary palaces. They are not 'fierce to show one's heart, but benevolent and tame'
Instead of stone lions, they were two huge unicorn beasts that were more than three feet tall.
An obscure ancient text suddenly appeared in Su Jin's mind: Be benevolent and righteous, sound in tune, walk in a regular manner, turn in a regular manner, choose the soil and then practice it, sit flat but in the back, do not live in groups, do not travel,
The quality of the text is also complicated, and the questions are secluded and follow-up.
This is the memory of the little official's body that he occupied. This passage is about the auspicious beast Qilin, which means that Qilin has a kind and humble demeanor of a kind gentleman; mainly because Qilin has a gentle temperament and is not
It is covered with insects, does not break grass, has horns on its head, and has meat on its horns. It is equipped with weapons but does not use them, so it is known as the "benevolent beast".
Su Jin was secretly amused. Even the decorations at the door were put into showing off in this way. His Highness, Prince Teng, really took great pains. He didn't know who he was doing this trick for.
In fact, Su Jin didn't understand all the secrets of ancient times. Ancient people often liked to express themselves in an obscure way. Every aspect of dressing, clothing, food, housing and transportation had its own purpose. Don't think that no one studies these things carefully. On the contrary, more people express themselves through these things.
Details are used to infer the person's character and intentions, especially those who play politics.
For example, during the Warring States Period, Lian Po, the famous general of the Zhao State, once surpassed the princes with his bravery. When the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, the King of Zhao wanted to re-use him to resist the Qin soldiers. However, Lian Po was already old at that time and was not reassured, so he sent an envoy.
He went to secretly observe Lian Po's daily life, but the envoy came back and reported: "Although General Lian Po is old and good at food, he sat with his ministers and lost three things in a short time." King Zhao was greatly disappointed, so he didn't use it.
Lian Po.
Although he ate a lot, he also had a lot of diarrhea. King Zhao naturally thought it was due to poor health. Putting aside Guo Kai's tricks, this incident was a typical example of judging the opponent's behavior carefully. Others such as pretending to be crazy, such as being addicted
There are countless examples of drunkenness, such as being extremely greedy but wearing shabby clothes. It seems that His Highness Prince Teng was deeply familiar with the three tastes. Naturally, it confused the eyes of the Emperor of Song Dynasty and the people of the world.
While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard a person shouting on the steps: "Isn't that Mr. Su? Your Majesty has come to Pengpi Shenghui."
Su Jin looked up and saw that it was Zhao Zongdan, the king of Teng, who was dressed in silver brocade clothes, with a golden crown on his head, and was welcoming guests at the door with a big smile on his face. Zhao Zongdan threw away everyone and came forward with fists in his arms, and actually threw away all the officials who came to congratulate him.
They were pushed aside.
Everyone looked sideways and secretly asked: "Who is this little official? Why does the prince value him so much?"
After asking for a long time, no one recognized Su Jin. An old man in black at the door looked at everyone with a smile and said: "I'm going to scare you. This Mr. Su is just a student of Yingtian Mansion, and his family is just a businessman.
." After saying that, he chuckled.
Everyone heard the sarcasm in the old man's words, and also learned that Su Jin was just a commoner, born as a lowly merchant. They immediately raised their eyebrows and winked at each other, snickering, and the snub they had just received from Prince Teng was instantly forgotten.
, Your Majesty is putting on a show for others to see.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Su Jin, a common man, is here to congratulate your wife." Su Jin quickly saluted and said loudly.
"Why be so polite? I just want to take this opportunity to get together with my friends. It's rare for Mr. Su to show me favor. I'm so relieved. Didn't I say that I can't come?" Zhao Zongdan asked with a half-smile.
Su Jin gave another salute and said: "It's the princess's birthday. How could she not come? At the end of last month, I went back to my hometown in Luzhou and settled things in advance. Today, I turned around and called everyone in, leaving the old man in black behind."
A person greets guests at the door.
The group of people walked through the huge courtyard and walked on the wide aisle paved with colored stones towards the main hall. Su Jin looked around and couldn't help but marvel; this palace can no longer be described with words such as luxurious and gorgeous. If it must be
If I were to find a word to describe it, I could only use majestic, brilliant or grandiose instead, but such words still seem feeble.
But I saw that the courtyard was deep, with domes on top of each other, the houses were like Chinese mansions, the buildings were like high platforms, the corridors were winding, and the eaves were high. They all hugged the terrain, intrigues, red roofs and green roofs, and the golden light was dazzling; there was also the long and winding corridor.
, the servants and maids are running like clouds, the green trees and red flowers are as bright as haze, and the rockery and pavilions are as beautiful as pictures.
It cannot be said that Su Jin has never seen the world. He has seen countless tall and beautiful buildings in later generations, but the scenery in the palace is different from those buildings. The atmosphere is grand to the point of splendor, exquisite yet exquisite.
Seeing the smallest detail, Su Jin was stunned when she entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu.
Everyone seemed to be regulars, and they were not as surprised as Su Jin to the point of closing their jaws. Instead, they all enjoyed Su Jin's silly look with great interest and regarded him as a joke.
Zhao Zongdan smiled slightly, took Su Jin's arm and said: "Master Su, if you want to visit my residence, I will send someone to show you around later. I invited you to stay here last time, but you refused.
Is our mansion worthy of being driven by Mr. Su?"
Su Jin came back to his senses and cursed himself secretly for acting so stingy. Why didn't he teach those people a joke? He calmly smiled and said: "What did you say, Your Majesty? You can live in such a mansion for a day."
I am also satisfied, but if I live here, wouldn't it ruin this beautiful scenery? The ancients described a woman as "too fat if you have one point more, and too thin if you have one point less." This prince's mansion is like a queen who has conquered the country and conquered the city.
This great beauty, if I were to live there, this beauty would be flawed. How dare I destroy this peerless beauty?"
Zhao Zongdan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said: "Brother Su is so eloquent. All you have to do is reject me, but you can find such a grand reason to teach me that I can't be angry even if I want to. You really deserve it."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, please praise me."
Zhao Zongdan laughed loudly and strutted with everyone to the palace-like main hall. The corridors in the main hall were all carved with white marble, and were paved with Yunnan bluestone with water flowing underground. The polished light could be seen, and the middle was seven to eight feet square.
The camel hair yellow carpet is laid out, which is light and silent when stepped on, soft and comfortable.
Everyone sat down according to their seats. Those who could enter the halls were all high-ranking officials. Although Wang Anshi's father and the magistrate of Yucheng County, Wang Sizhi, were the head of a county, they could only sit in the side hall, with the staff
The housekeeper greeted him for tea. This was where everyone was puzzled. Su Jin, a commoner, was pulled into the main hall and seated behind Mr. Ying Tiancang Sixun. It was really a strange thing.
Zhao Zongdan waited for the servants to finish serving tea, and said with a smile: "I am born today, so I don't want to bother you, but I want to take this opportunity to get together with you, so I sent you a message.
I have been working hard for the Song Dynasty all day long, so I regard it as a half-day of leisure. Only when I relax can I better deal with official affairs. I have no official position and am very light. I have nothing to do on weekdays and I can't help you much.
I will take this free day as a token of my gratitude to you all."
Everyone stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, thank you very much for your consideration."
"Your Majesty sincerely thinks about me. He even remembers our tiredness and hard work. It really makes us remember this deeply in our hearts. We will live up to His Majesty's expectations, be loyal to the Song Dynasty, and die exhausted."
Tang Jie said loudly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely live up to the prince's kindness." Everyone agreed.
Su Jin was among them, neither agreeing nor saying anything. These people seemed to have become accustomed to flattering each other. They said these words without blushing or heartbeat. Prince Teng was shameless, and his wife's birthday was not a full birthday.
I just sent out a large number of invitations, saying that the gathering may not be fake, but I'm afraid it's mainly for making money and making connections to strengthen collusion.dd
