Chang'an Temple is one of the eight major temples in Xishan. It was originally named Shanyin Temple, also known as "Wanying Chang'an Zen Temple". It was founded in the 17th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty.
This temple is located in the east of Cuiwei Mountain, with beautiful and charming scenery in all seasons.
It is a famous scenic spot in Yanjing.
The temple is full of incense.
Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu walked up the stone path from the foot of Cuiwei Mountain. After walking about a few hundred steps, they saw the white marble steps and tall red walls in front of the Chang'an Temple, with pines and cypresses on both sides.
The fragrant apricot groves fill the mountains along the way.
Halfway up the mountain, summer rain began to fall.
The two of them hid in a small pavilion along the road to take shelter from the rain.
The rain in summer comes at a moment's notice, but leaves at a moment's notice.
It rained for about a quarter of an hour.
Chuji.
After the two of them waited for the rain to stop, when they reached the gate of Chang'an Temple, they saw clouds crossing the middle of the mountain, winding from behind the peak to the front of the ridge, or spitting out and rising from the cave, which was very impressive.
"This is Cuifeng Yunduan, one of the twelve scenic spots in the Eight Great Places of Xishan Mountain. I have been here several times and have not seen it. I didn't expect that Meihe and you were lucky enough to see it just after we came here..."
Bai Xiuzhu looked at the beautiful scenery after the rain and said with emotion.
"Yeah?"
"Then this is my blessing..."
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, he walked to a pink wall in front of the temple, stopped, looked at the poems on it and was stunned, and whispered: "Only the sky in Chang'an is five feet long, who said that the sky is reduced here?"
Continent.”
After he finished reading, he shook his head and said, "I originally thought that it was a good time to meet the rain in Cuishan, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a special welcome to me."
There are three overseas mountains, Yingzhou, Fangzhang, and Penglai. Later generations referred to it as Dongying, and Ying means island.
In addition, the meaning of "Yingzhou" has been extended. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong set up a literature museum in Chang'an. At that time, those who enrolled were called "Dengyingzhou". "Dengyingzhou" means that a scholar will be honored and favored. In the imperial examination era, it also came into being.
The meaning of being awarded the title of Jinshi in a new subject, for example, the poem "In the coming year, Sui Peng will turn into a dragon, and he will go to Yingzhou in one fell swoop" means that the carp will turn into a dragon, rise up in the wind, and be awarded the title of Jinshi.
That's why Bai Gui said this when he saw this poem praising the beautiful scenery of "Cui Peak and Cloud Break".
This sentence has two meanings. One is that he just graduated from Dongda University and returned from studying abroad. He compared Cuishan to Yingzhou and wanted to climb Yingzhou; the other is that the cloud scenery of Cuishan is not weaker than that of Japan, which means that God will return to his motherland.
It rains specially to wash away the beauty for me, and there is such a cloud scene specially for me to appreciate...
Of course, the previous sentence can also be extended to a Chang'an saying, "Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu."
The Wei family and the Du family are wealthy families in Guanzhong. The family is located in Duling, Jingzhao Du family and Jingzhao Wei family in the south of Chang'an city. Both Du Fu and Du Mu were born in the Jingzhao Du family. There were more than a dozen Du family members who were prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty.
Du Ruhui is the Du family in Jingzhao, and Wei Clan in Jingzhao also had seventeen prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty...
The provincial normal school where Bai Gui studied is located in the south of the city.
"You are really shameless when I say this..."
Bai Xiuzhu spat lightly and said.
She saw the poem, thought about it for a moment, and roughly understood some of its meaning. However, she did not expect so many layers. However, she also knew the allusion to climbing Yingzhou, so she thought it was Bai Gui talking about it.
Chang'an Temple is located on the west side of the Cuiwei Mountain, facing east, surrounded by red walls, with two entrances and four entrances.
Entering the temple gate, there is a landscape wall with four characters "Deng Huanxi Di" on it. Walking along the west Yong Road, you can see the "Guan Gong Hall", which enshrines the statue of Guan Yu and the Great Master's Hall.
The one enshrined is Guanyin...
However, the two of them only took a quick look at some of the scenery in the temple.
Didn't stop for too long.
Like most people, they focus on the process. Once they arrive at the destination, they will feel disappointed. Apart from a few temples dedicated to the gods, there is really nothing to praise in the temple.
Bai Xiuzhu grew up in the country of Ameiken since she was a child. Naturally, she had no place to worship the Buddha. However, she thought that she would come as she came, so she went to the Grand Master's Hall to pay homage to Master Guanyin, made some wishes, and then it was over.
for this trip.
"You can worship Buddha, but I can't..."
Bai Gui shook his head and rejected Bai Xiuzhu's suggestion.
First, he practiced the inner alchemy of Quanzhen Taoism. Although he did not become a disciple of Quanzhen, he accepted the relationship and did not worship the Buddhist shrine. Second, he was also considered a celebrity, big or small, such as a well-known scholar like him
, more or less, he has to bear some responsibilities. If he is white and worships Buddha today, even if it is just superficial, the impact will not be very good, and his reputation will be partly damaged.
Some things need to be noted.
When Bai Xiuzhu heard this, she felt it was reasonable and gave up.
Walking back from Chang'an Temple is much faster. In summer, water vapor evaporates quickly, so there is no need to worry about water marks on the steps.
After a while, we returned to Qingyi Garden.
Everyone had finished their meal, had cooled off the heat, and were preparing to go home.
On the road.
Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiuzhu got into the carriage, and Bai Gui followed on a tall white horse.
This time Bai Gui did not follow Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiuzhu back to Bai Mansion. Instead, he walked to Bai Mansion and prepared to resign.
It's not appropriate for him to live in the White Mansion with a man. Although he is an uncle, he is still his fiancé.
Just one night's stay.
If you live there permanently, you will cause some gossip.
"I think this horse listens to you very much. You don't have much transportation in Yanjing. It's slower to drive a rickshaw. As the saying goes, BMW gives heroes to heroes, so this Jade Dragon White Horse is given to you...
"
"Anyway, Xiongqi has been shelving it, and being idle is just idle."
At the gate of Bai Mansion, as soon as Bai Gui got off his horse, he was stopped by Mrs. Bai.
"this……"
Bai Gui was speechless, with a look of hesitation on his face.
It's just a horse. Even if the white horse is a valuable breed, he can still afford it. But it's not a gift given by others, so even if he knows the final outcome, he still has to look hesitant.
That's how dealings are.
"Meihe, just accept it. My brother doesn't usually ride it. You see, you went out with it today and it was very happy."
"It's not worth much anyway."
Bai Xiuzhu just got off the carriage, saw this scene, and advised.
The servants of the Bai Mansion who went out to greet him were dumbfounded when they saw such a scene.
Good guy?
Not worth the money?
A good BMW is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Although the white horse in Baifu is not that expensive, its price is definitely not cheap. An ordinary horse is worth forty or fifty silver dollars, and a better war horse is worth a hundred silver dollars.
And this horse cost at least three to four hundred silver dollars.
Before they were married, their elbows were turned outward.
But then they thought about it, this horse is precious, but this is for them. For Bai Xiuzhu, this white horse is really not very expensive, more than three hundred silver dollars, she can get it by gritting her teeth, let alone
With Bai Fu's net worth.
And...for my uncle, the total amount of the last greetings he paid to me was far more than the three hundred silver dollars.
"Since this horse is willing to follow me..."
"Then I will be disrespectful and accept it."
Bai Gui nodded.
As a matter of courtesy, the last time he gave private gifts to the three people in the Bai Mansion were quite expensive. At that time, Mrs. Bai, Bai Xiuzhu, and Bai Xiongqi accepted them, so they would not remain indifferent. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity to go horse riding in Qingyi Garden.
I gave him a white horse as a gift, and there was also a lot of thought in it...
The old times have their advantages. The betrothal gifts are valuable and the dowry is not light.
even more!
Thinking of the gift of the horse from the White House, Bai Gui couldn't help but touch the Kaveco pen in his arms.
He received many gifts, but not many.
"That's right, it's just a horse anyway..."
Mrs. Bai smiled.
Most families give gifts in return, often based on the guests' greetings. If the gift you give is valuable, their return gift will also be valuable. If the gift you give is insignificant, the return gift will naturally not be expensive.
Bai Gui's gift was a good one, and Baifu was also happy to give a good gift in return.
This is the upbringing of a wealthy family.
Bai Gui thanked him.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. He walked to Bai Xiuzhu's side in small steps and came closer, about half a step away.
"what are you doing?"
Bai Xiuzhu's beautiful eyes widened and she wanted to push Bai Gui away.
Being in public, even when she was in Ameiken's country since she was a child, she still couldn't stand it.
"Xiuzhu, how do you feel about going out with me today?"
"Are you happy or not?"
Bai Gui seemed to have no intention, and spoke sincerely, speaking in a low voice.
It's like whispering.
"joy……"
"Of course I'm a little happy."
Bai Xiuzhu felt the softness in her ears, lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her face was slightly red and her voice was like a mosquito.
She and Bai Gui visited Chang'an Temple together. Although the process was the same as climbing in the past, her mood was very different from before. She originally planned to say "not so good", but after thinking about it, this was the first time Bai Gui and her went out together.
To say "not happy" inevitably means to reject people thousands of miles away, so I can only say "happy".
But just when she said these two words, Bai Gui laughed loudly, got on his horse, and rode away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, leaving only a trace of dust.
Bai Xiuzhu was surprised when she saw such an unusual behavior.
But she was naturally smart. She stopped in front of the White Mansion for a while, and soon couldn't help but think of what she had said before, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Bai Meihe..."
Bai Xiuzhu gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, twisted her waist, and walked straight in without looking back.
"Xiuzhu, what's wrong with her?"
Mrs. Bai didn't know why, and her face was full of doubts. Bai Gui's voice was very soft just now, and she couldn't get close enough to listen carefully, so seeing Bai Xiuzhu in such a posture now, she was inevitably puzzled.
…
Luohua Hutong, No. 12.
"Mr. Bai, you are back."
Lao Li was sleeping in the concierge. When he heard a noise outside, he quickly opened the side door and welcomed Bai Gui in.
"Well, I just came back. I'm staying at home tonight."
Bai Gui dismounted and threw the reins to Lao Li.
When he entered the door, he saw that the house had been completely renovated. The walls were painted with lime powder, the weeds on the edge of the courtyard wall were pulled out, the ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and the door panels were painted with tung oil...
"Yes, the house is well kept."
“I’m also very satisfied with the layout.”
He nodded, took another half step back, and saw the newly hung plaque with the words "White House" written on it.
Generally speaking, only princes can call themselves mansions. Ordinary officials and nobles can only call them mansions, while those with higher rank can call them mansions. Nowadays, although there is no Xunqing Dynasty, most of the mansions are over the limit. Those who are called mansions are not called zhai, but they are called "zhai".
No., the one who is called No. is called Mansion.
But Bai Gui still specifically told Zhou Defa that it must be written as Bai Zhai.
In fact, if he exceeds the standard and is called the White House, no one will care about it, but this is too similar to the White House, which is not good. Secondly, he has just graduated and returned to China, and has already stated that he does not want to be an official, but if he is called "White House"
"Government", this inevitably makes people think more about whether Bai Meihe is dormant, or whether the official position opened by the government is not enough...
