461, the guest came from afar, left me double carp (please complete order)
Being able to hold an official position in heaven means that Bai Gui is definitely not a villain.
This is where the prestige of heaven lies.
If the Tang Dynasty is the Zhengshuo of the human dynasty, then the Heavenly Kingdom is irreplaceable.
However, even though Yuan Tiangang was surprised, he only lost his countenance for a while, and his face immediately returned to its previous calmness, "Bai Shiyi, it's just a poor Taoist who has misunderstood you. The teacher is not wise, but the disciple is not unkind. Gusou, Shun can see this."
.”
Now that he has seen Bai Gui's "real body", Bai Gui must also know that Taoist Zheng is an alien. Based on Bai Gui's previous reply to him, he can judge that the two of them are not very harmonious. So it seems like this
There are some words that separate the master and the disciple, and they can say it out of their mouths without offending Bai Gui.
Gusou was the father of Shun. After Gusou married his second wife, he gave birth to a son, Xiang. Gusou liked his second wife, so he often wanted to kill Shun. But Shun was filial in his twenties and did not lose his filial piety. So in the third year of Shun's life,
At the age of fifty, Yao promoted him to do the emperor's work. He never blamed Gusou for wanting to kill him.
Gusou is a wicked person. Shun is a great sage. Gusou gives birth to Shun, which means that the evil of the elders will not necessarily be passed on to the younger generations.
"Shun's father, Gusou, was stubborn, his mother was arrogant, and his brothers were arrogant. They all wanted to kill Shun. Shun was obedient and suitable as a son, and his brothers were filial and kind. He wanted to kill him, but he could not get him. He asked for it, but he was there. Shun was filial at twenty...
…"——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of the Five Emperors".
Hearing the harp and knowing the elegant meaning.
Bai Guishan is good at reading history books, and Gusou's killing of Shun is also a chapter in "Shangshu Yaodian". He is still aware of this. But Yuan Tiangang was so eager to change his attitude that he also found out something from it.
He had just received Cao Yu's order, and Yuan Tiangang found out about it.
Although his Kunlun Mirror is the best at concealing traces, Yuzhi inherits the fate of heaven, and he cannot use the Kunlun Mirror to cover up Cao Yuzhi. Therefore, this matter was spotted by Yuan Tiangang, who was good at physiognomy.
"Although Master Zheng is an alien, his prayer for rain this time shows... that he is still kind."
Bai Gui took a sip of the tea soup, pondered for a while, and replied.
When Yuan Tiangang entered the house, he knew from the first words he said that Yuan Tiangang saw that Taoist Zheng was a sheep demon. Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy was better than his qi gazing.
Now that Yuan Tiangang has seen his "true identity", there is no need for him to deliberately conceal it.
The two are not enemies, but colleagues who served as officials in the same dynasty.
A gentleman is harmonious and not gregarious.
"Since Bai Shiyi knows this, I am the one who said too much."
Yuan Tiangang saw Bai Gui being honest and treating him as a friend, and a smile appeared on his face.
If it were anyone else, he would never be like this.
But Bai Gui's status is different, he is an official of the Heavenly Court. As the national advisor of the Tang Dynasty and the leader of the Qintiantai, he does not dare to look down upon him.
"This is a koi that my uncle caught and gave to Zuo Shiyi."
"It's a casual gift for this visit."
Yuan Tiangang sat up on his knees and took out a lively golden koi carp from his wide sleeve robe. This koi carp was about six or seven inches tall and was a large carp.
Carp is the Taoist Chihui Gong, who is also the son of the dragon.
Yuan Tiangang gave Bai Gui this koi, not that he wanted Bai Gui to eat it, but to keep it in his house for Feng Shui purposes. Raising koi fish with a star hanging on the right can bring smooth family fortune and wealth.
Yingmen.
At the same time, since ancient times, it has been a custom to visit the owner and give carp as a gift.
For example, Confucius’ son Kong Li was named Kong Li because Duke Zhao of Lu gave Confucius a carp as a gift to congratulate him on having a son.
"When Confucius was nineteen years old, he married a daughter of the Bingguan family of the Song Dynasty, and gave birth to Boyu at one year old. The son of Boyu was a carp left behind by Duke Zhao of Lu. The master gave it to the emperor, so he named his son after him."
— "Family Language".
"Is this fish caught in Jinghe River?"
Bai Gui saw this fish and asked.
This carp is a Yellow River carp, and the Jinghe River is a tributary of the Yellow River. In Chang'an, the rivers where it is easy to catch Yellow River koi carp are the Jinghe River and the Weihe River.
Of course, he didn't mean to ask about this.
"Bai Shiyi's wise eyes."
"My uncle did not serve in the imperial court, but he was a fortune teller on Ximen Street. There was a fisherman whose family was poor, but he was very benevolent and filial. Therefore, my uncle told the fisherman's fortune every day and asked him to set his net to catch fish somewhere in the Jing River.
This son gives my uncle a koi fish every day as a reward."
"Golden carps are not allowed to be eaten by monks like us, they are only used as feng shui decorations. I already have thirty-eight golden carps in the water tank at my house. I have no use for these golden carps, so I often give them away..."
Yuan Tiangang smiled when he heard this.
"Uncle's divine hexagram."
Bai Gui was secretly surprised, cupped his hands, and praised casually.
Koi are the sons of dragons. Raising more koi can change the feng shui. The same is true for water veins. Although the Jinghe River is connected to the Yellow River, there are many koi. But golden carps are rare.
Yes. Yuan Shoucheng gets a golden carp every day. If this happens for a long time, the water veins of the Jing River will definitely lose his luck and feng shui.
One penny a day, a thousand penny a thousand days.
Yuan Shoucheng is gradually destroying the Feng Shui of the Jing River water veins.
He didn't know what the deep hatred between Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe River was, but the Dragon King of Jinghe River was obviously not on the same path as him. Even if he knew about this, he wouldn't pay much attention to it.
"Golden carps are rare things. Yuan Taizheng only gave me one, which is really stingy."
"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. The Han Dynasty Yuefu's "Silver Horse Tour to the Great Wall Cave" also said: 'A guest came from afar and left me a pair of carps.' How could Yuan Taizheng only give me one."
Bai Gui inadvertently avoided the topic and said something else.
"Bai Shiyi...it's really interesting."
Yuan Tiangang laughed dumbly, shook his head, and took out another golden carp from his sleeve, which was similar in size to the one he took out earlier.
He smiled and threw the two golden carp directly into the water tank under the eaves.
A golden carp is worthless.
To ordinary people, golden carps are valuable, but to officials, a golden carp is just a small amount of money.
Bai Gui asked him what he wanted, and he proved it with poems. This was elegance. Giving an extra golden carp would actually increase the friendship between the two.
In ancient mansions, every courtyard must have a water tank, called an auspicious tank, to prevent fire.
"Only alone, not in pairs."
"But I don't want to ask Yuan Taizheng for more. I'll go to your uncle tomorrow and buy two more golden carp."
Bai Gui glanced at the two large water tanks outside the living room. In the water tank on the left were two golden carps swimming back and forth, full of life, as if they had just been fished out of the Jing River.
"When I return home, I asked my uncle to give Bai Shiyi to you to keep."
"Bai Shiyi doesn't know, but this golden carp is also in high demand. The mansions of all the ministers in the court like this golden carp. It is used to improve feng shui and attract wealth."
Yuan Tiangang smiled and nodded.
He could give Bai Gui two more golden carps, but if Bai Gui offered to buy them, he would not refuse. As time went by, the friendship between the two families gradually deepened.
It seems like he is buying fish, but it is actually the reason for Bai Gui to visit Yuan Mansion next time.
