Halfway down the mountain via the path, Zhang Shougang suddenly realized that in order to create a lone situation, he went to help Wang Datou fish, and his late lunch was temporarily postponed, and in order to avoid Wang Datou, he dragged Zhu Ying away.
, this lunch was even more wasted, and he couldn't make up for it for a while. At that moment, he turned around and asked Zhu Ying, who was following behind him with one foot higher and the other lower: "Yingying, are you hungry?"
"Of course I'm hungry!" Zhu Ying said three words without thinking, and then said with a grimace, "But if we didn't leave just now, if we bumped into that verbose Wang Datou, he might rush us back to Beijing right away!
When we were at your house, didn't we have a meal outside in the wilderness? Can't we find anything to eat here? I still remember your cooking skills, Ah Shou!"
How does it compare between then and now? I was prepared at that time, and it was originally a place where a group of young men in the village would play and steal food. How do you ask me to conjure up food now? Is it possible that I still go to drill wood to get food?
fire?
When Zhang Shouzheng thought of this, Ah Liu's familiar voice came from behind: "I have something to eat."
Zhu Ying turned around almost at the same time as Zhang Shou, and immediately saw Ah Liu hanging silently behind them. Seeing the young man stretching out his hands from behind, with a paper package in each hand, Zhu Ying quickly grabbed one.
When she came over, she opened it and saw a package of braised venison. She immediately narrowed her eyes happily.
There is no doubt that the secret braised venison in the kitchen of Duke Zhao's mansion has always been one of her favorite foods.
When Zhang Shou took another package, he couldn't help but glare at Ah Liu. If it weren't for broad daylight, Ah Liu's ghost-like behavior would really scare people to death. He opened the oil paper package and took a look
, and found eight neat pieces of rice cake inside.
Red red rice cakes, green mung bean cakes, white glutinous rice bean paste cakes, and yellow yellow rice cakes are all filling and delicious snacks, with sheets of green leaves as the base. They look cute in color but are easy to hold.
Edible. Needless to say, these are homemade snacks made by Aunt Liu.
Eating while walking definitely has nothing to do with elegance. Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying stopped to eat something to fill their stomachs and asked about the situation of Ah Liu. When they learned that Wang Jie had killed Zheng Huaien
After that, the strange theft and frame-up case in the palace was directly pinned on this clan member. Zhang Shou couldn't help being stunned, while Zhu Ying immediately let out a cry of surprise after being stunned for a moment.
"Although the eldest prince and the second prince are not good people, they should not be able to do such petty quarrels. A woman like Princess Yongping, who has a very high self-esteem and thinks of herself as a pure white lotus flower all day long, can't do it either.
She was so mean-spirited, that’s why I thought she was the accomplice. Zheng Huai’en used to go to Qingning Palace frequently, so maybe it’s really him!”
In just such a moment, Zhang Shou also figured this out. Regarding that inexplicable love rival, he just felt that it was ridiculous, and he didn't care about Zhu Ying's speculation. Anyway, he had finished what Wang Jie asked him to do, and the next step was
His rare break.
When they met up with the few guards of Duke Zhao's Mansion who had stayed at the foot of the mountain, rode eastward, and returned to the Villa of Duke Zhao's Mansion in Haidian, on the western outskirts of the capital, the sun had not yet set, but it had already passed Shen hour.
Today's Haidian and the Haidian of later generations are in the same area. There are more than a dozen shallow lakes and rivers of various sizes scattered among the plains. They are sparkling and connected by various bridges. There are countless paddy fields connected by bridges and the scenery is excellent. I am familiar with Gyeonggi.
Zhang Shou, a geologist, knew that the future Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace would all be located in this area with the richest water system in Gyeonggi Province.
Today, no royal gardens have been built, but dignitaries have built countless gardens nearby.
Without exception, these gardens were filled with live water, rockeries, and countless pavilions. However, due to the chaos one after another after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many gardens have experienced renovations and changes of ownership, and the garden of Zhao Guogong's Mansion is no exception.
It is said that Emperor Taizu lived there temporarily before the founding of the country, and later gave it to a Duke. It changed hands many times, and was finally awarded by Ruizong to Zhu Jing, Duke of Zhao.
This garden does not have an elegant and meaningful name. It is similar to other noble gardens nearby and is simply called Zhao Garden.
Zhang Shou, who had just arrived, immediately discovered that although Zhu Ying met Wang Datou, he and he made the impromptu decision to go down the mountain from the path and went around a long circle before meeting up with the others. Therefore, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Beijing in time, so he planned to stay here temporarily.
One night, but the attentive servants in Zhao Yuan obviously didn't look like they just knew they were coming.
In the end, not only him, but also Zhu Ying, who was a little unaware at first, discovered it. She suddenly stopped and glared at Manager Zhao Yuan who was diligently guiding the way next to her with an unkind expression: "Look, you have been prepared for this."
You look like you know I'm coming?"
"It's rare for the eldest lady to go out of the city. Of course, Mrs. Tai and Madam must let us prepare. Maybe you want to come and stay here for a night? After all, our Zhaoyuan is right between the capital and Badachu. It's just a convenient way."
As General Manager Zhao Yuan spoke, he nodded and bowed to Zhang Shou with a smile, and then looked at Zhu Ying again and said: "If the eldest lady feels that I am causing trouble here, I will just resign."
Although Zhu Ying has always been generous, she was made angry by the words of Manager Zhao Yuan: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! Just stay back and I will naturally call you if you have anything to ask!"
Zhang Shou saw the elderly Zhaoyuan manager bowing with a smile, and then he really retreated to the back. This time, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, this subtle emotion soon appeared on the ship.
After visiting the garden, he disappeared without a trace. Under the lingering light of the autumn sunset, he followed Zhu Ying roughly around the garden, and made a very unexpected discovery.
With Zhu Ying as the best tour guide, before dark, he first took a boat to taste tea, and then walked around the garden on foot. He only found that there were so many Taizu imperial brushes in Zhao Garden, all of which were dedicated to the pavilions and pavilions.
However, compared to the very normal inscribed plaques of the Imperial College, the names of these pavilions and pavilions left him speechless.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Hengwu Garden, Daoxiang Village, Zhujin Tower, Qiu Shuangzhai... However, there is no Yihong Courtyard.
I don’t know whether Emperor Taizu hated Jia Baoyu or simply disliked the name Yihongyuan.
So Zhang Shou had a sumptuous dinner, and when he and Zhu Ying were walking in the garden again after dinner, he couldn't help but ask: "Yingying, what was the name of this Zhao Garden in the past?"
"When Emperor Taizu lived there, it was called Daguanyuan, but after Emperor Taizu moved out and gave it to people, he changed the title of the garden to Weiyuan after the hero!"
Zhu Ying didn't notice Zhang Shou's subtle expression, and then smiled and said: "Emperor Taizu wanted to withdraw all the inscriptions at that time and let Duke Wei change his name. As a result, Grandpa Ge's ancestor said
He said, everyone is used to these names, don’t be so stingy, Emperor Taizu just stopped."
Zhang Shou secretly chuckled, and then asked nonchalantly: "By the way, I used to read a lot of miscellaneous books in the countryside, but none about Emperor Taizu. It was only after I arrived at the Imperial College that I learned that Emperor Taizu had written quite a few
Poetry, seems to have also written a book?”
"Emperor Taizu didn't have many poems, there were only a few of them, but they were all very powerful." Zhu Ying recited each poem to Zhang Shou with great interest, but she didn't see clearly Zhang Shou's obscure face in the night.
Face. After finishing the poem, she smiled and said, "Taizu changed places and wrote a quite mysterious novel Journey to the West, which was written before the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"I like Sun Wukong's monkey the most! The monkey was very powerful when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Unfortunately, he met the Tathagata old man and was crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain. After he was rescued by Tang Sanzang, he fulfilled his promise to protect him from going to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, but
But he did not want to become a Buddha and become an ancestor, but vowed to open up another world for the demon clan in the world and prevent them from being driven by immortals and Buddhas, so he left Lingshan..."
Zhang Shou listened to the story of Journey to the West that was gradually distorted to thousands of miles away. He simply didn't know what to say, but he got a better understanding of Emperor Taizu's character. If those poems were plagiarized, then Journey to the West has been out of touch.
beyond the scope of plagiarism and entered a field he was familiar with...
Of course, he was surprised that Emperor Taizu named his temporary residence Grand View Garden but did not write a Dream of Red Mansions...
That night, Zhu Ying stayed at Qiu Shuangzhai. In her words, among the buildings in Zhao Yuan, she had always liked the spacious layout of three bays without partitions. Although Zhan Jin and Liu Yin did not come out with her.
, but General Manager Zhao Yuan carefully selected two girls who were quick and agile and took good care of them both inside and outside.
As for Zhang Shou... Yihongyuan was gone, it didn't matter where he chose, so he didn't think much about it. When the manager Zhao Yuan said with a smile that Nuanxiangwu, not far from Qiu Shuangzhai, had already been sorted out, he just
I chose this place without thinking.
Probably because we are in the suburbs, the autumn nights are already cold. The door has been replaced with a dark red felt curtain, and the bed has been replaced with thick bedding. In the three-partitioned room, Zhang Shou chose the west room. At this time, the ironed
He sat on the large bed with his feet up, but he didn't feel much sleepy.
He was even more surprised when Ah Liu took the quilt as a matter of course and actually planned to make a bed on the ground in front of the bed that looked like a small house.
Whether it was at home in Rongshui Village or in the small courtyard lent to the mother and son in Qijingshan, Ah Liu had never done such work as going to bed at night. What was he going to do now?
Before he could speak, Ah Liu said calmly: "Just in case."
Zhang Shou was choked to silence. Thinking that he had been shot by arrows once, everyone looked like an assassin. If he hadn't been well prepared today, he might not have been able to escape on his own when Zheng Huaien's two guards suddenly took him hostage. He sighed.
.
"Okay, then just talk to me! I really didn't expect that Wang Dayin vowed that everything was ready, and that as long as I showed my face out of the city, I would be able to lure people into taking the bait, but it would actually end like this..."
When Zhang Shougang said this, he suddenly heard only the sound of even breathing. He looked down and saw Ah Liu who had gotten into the bed and had fallen asleep soundly. He didn't know whether this kid was pretending to sleep or really sleeping. He couldn't help but feel angry.
He was happy, but after thinking about it, it was really boring to talk to a little guy with a mouth like a gourd, so he simply lay down.
He lay there in a daze for a while, with his eyes closed, he gradually began to feel sleepy. Suddenly, he vaguely smelled an intoxicating sweet fragrance. Suddenly awakened, he subconsciously opened his eyes and wanted to call someone, but the next moment,
All he saw was a flash of black shadow in front of the bed, and it was Ah Liu who flashed out like a ghost.
In an instant, a cry of surprise came from in front of the door.
