The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 212 The White Mansion Presents a Horse (Full Order)

Chang'an Temple is one of the eight great temples in Xishan, formerly known as Shanyin Temple, also known as "Wanying Chang'an Temple". It was founded in the 17th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty.

This temple is located in the east of Cuiwei Mountain, and the scenery is beautiful and charming in four seasons.

It is a famous scenic spot in Yanjing.

The temple is full of incense.

Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu walked up the stone paved path from the foot of Cuiwei Mountain. After walking about hundreds of steps, they saw the white marble steps in front of the gate of Chang'an Temple and the tall red courtyard wall, which were shaded by pines and cypresses on both sides. Along the way, the apricot forest is full of fragrance.

When we were halfway up, it started to rain in summer.

The two walked to a small pavilion along the road to shelter from the rain.

The summer rain comes as soon as it is said, but it goes away as soon as it is said.

It took about a quarter of an hour or so.

First Ji.

When the two of them waited for the rain to stop, when they reached the gate of Chang'an Temple, they could see the clouds across the mountain, from the back of the peak to the front of the ridge, or spit out from the cave and rise up, which is quite impressive.

"This is Cuifeng Yunduan, one of the twelve scenic spots in the Eight Great Places of the Western Mountain. I have been here several times, but I have never seen it. I never thought that Meihe would be lucky enough to see it just after you came here..."

Bai Xiuzhu looked at the beautiful scenery after the rain and said with emotion.

"is it?"

"That's my luck..."

Bai Gui raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, he walked to a powder wall in front of the temple, stopped, stared at the poems on it, and said softly: "Only Chang'an is five feet above the sky, who said that here is less continent."

After reading, he shook his head, "I thought it was just the right time to meet the rain in Cuishan, but I didn't expect to welcome me specially."

The three overseas mountains are Yingzhou, Fangzhang and Penglai.Later generations refer to Japan as Dongying, and Ying means island.

In addition, the meaning of Yingzhou has been extended. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang set up a literature center in Chang'an. At that time, the students who entered the school were called "Dengyingzhou". The meaning of Xinke Jinshi and the official award, such as the poem "Sui Penghua in the coming year, and go to Yingzhou in one fell swoop", is intended to be a carp that turns into a dragon, rides the wind, and becomes a Jinshi.

That's why Bai Gui said that when he saw this poem praising the beauty of "Cuifeng Yunduan".

This sentence has two meanings. One is that he has just graduated from Dongying University and returned from studying abroad. He compares Cuishan to Yingzhou, which means Dengyingzhou; The rain was specially designed to wash away the lead for me, and there was such a cloud scene for me to appreciate...

Of course, the previous sentence can also be extended to a Chang'an saying, "Wedu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu."

The Wei family and the Du family are aristocratic families in Guanzhong. The family is located in Duling, Jingzhao Du's and Jingzhao Wei's in the south of Chang'an City.Du Fu and Du Mu, both big and small, were born in the Jingzhao Du family. There were more than a dozen prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty Du family.

The Normal School in the provincial capital where Bai Gui studied is located in the south of the city.

"I say that, you are really shameless..."

Bai Xiuzhu spat lightly and said.

When she saw the poem and thought about it for a while, she probably knew some meaning, but she didn't think of so many layers, but she also knew the allusion of Dengyingzhou, so she thought it was Bai Gui talking about it.

Chang'an Temple leans against Cuiwei Mountain in the west, faces east from the west, and is surrounded by red walls.

Entering the gate of the temple, there is a landscape wall with four characters "Denghuanxidi" on it.Going west to Yong Road, you can see the "Guan Gong Hall", where the statue of Guan Yu is enshrined, and the Dashi Hall, where Guanyin is enshrined...

However, the two of them only hurriedly watched some scenery in the temple.

Didn't stay for long.

Like most people, he pays attention to the process. After arriving at the destination, he will feel disappointed. Except for a few halls 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 has nothing to worship the Buddha, but she came as she thought, so she simply went to the Dashi Hall to pay homage to the Guanyin Dashi, made some wishes, and it was over. made this itinerary.

"You can worship Buddha, but I can't..."

Bai Gui shook his head and rejected Bai Xiuzhu's suggestion.

One is that he practiced the inner alchemy method of Quanzhen Taoism. Although he did not worship under Quanzhen's sect, he accepted a love and did not worship the altar.The second is that he is considered a celebrity, big or small. A well-known literati like him must more or less bear some responsibilities. Part of his reputation will also be damaged.

Some attention is required.

When Bai Xiuzhu heard the words, she felt that it was reasonable, so she gave up.

Walking back from Chang'an Temple, the speed 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, return to Qingyi Garden.

Everyone has finished their meals, and they are preparing to go home after cooling off the heat.

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 the White Mansion, but went to the White Mansion and prepared to leave.

It's inappropriate for him to live in the White Mansion with a man. Although he is a uncle, he is still his fiancé.

It's just enough to stay for one night.

Permanent residence, will cause some gossip.

"I think this horse listens to you. You are in Yanjing, and you don't have any means of transportation. Taking a rickshaw is slower. As the saying goes, if a BMW gives a hero, this jade dragon white horse will be given to you... "

"Anyway, Xiongqi has been shelving it, and being idle is also idle."

At the gate of the Bai Mansion, Bai Gui just got off his horse when he was stopped by Mrs. Bai.

"This……"

Bai Gui stammered, with a look of hesitation on his face.

It's just a horse, even if the white horse is a rare breed, he can still afford it.But gifts from others are not gifts, so even if you know the final outcome, you still have to show hesitation.

That's how it works.

"Meihe, just accept it. My brother usually doesn't ride it. You see, it is very happy when you go out with it today."

"It's not worth much anyway."

Bai Xiuzhu had just got off the carriage, and when she saw this scene, she persuaded her.

The servants of the White House who went out to greet him were dumbfounded when they saw such a scene.

good guy?
Worth nothing?

A good BMW is hard to change.Although the white horse in Baifu is not that expensive, the price is definitely not cheap. An ordinary rough horse is worth forty or fifty silver dollars, a better war horse is a hundred silver dollars, and this horse is at least three or four hundred silver dollars. some.

Before she was married, her elbow turned outward.

But they thought about it again, this horse is precious, but it is for them.For Bai Xiuzhu, this white horse is really not very expensive, more than 300 silver dollars, she can take it out by gritting her teeth, let alone with the net worth of the White Mansion.

And... As for my aunt, the total amount of salutes delivered at the door last time far exceeded the three hundred silver dollars.

"Since this horse is willing to follow me..."

"Then I will be disrespectful and accept it."

Bai Gui nodded.

Reciprocity, last time the gift he personally gave to the three people in the Bai Mansion was relatively expensive. At that time, Mrs. Bai, Bai Xiuzhu, and Bai Xiongqi accepted it, and they would not be indifferent. Gifting him a white horse also has some intentions in it...

The old age has its benefits, the dowry is precious, and the dowry is not light.

even more!

Thinking of the horse gift from the White Mansion, Bai Gui couldn't help touching the Caveco pen in his arms.

He received many gifts, but not many.

"That's right, it's just a horse anyway..."

Mrs. Bai laughed.

Most family rebate gifts are often determined according to the worship of the guests.The gift you give is valuable, and the gift they give back will be valuable.If the gift is cheap, the gift in return cannot be expensive.

Bai Gui gave a good gift, and the Baifu was also happy to give a good gift in return.

This is the upbringing of a wealthy family.

Bai Gui expressed his thanks.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, walked up to Bai Xiuzhu's side in small steps, and moved closer, about half a step away.

"what are you doing?"

Bai Xiuzhu stared at her beautiful eyes, trying to push Bai Gui away.

In front of the public, even if she was in Ameiken country since she was a child, she couldn't bear it.

"Xiuzhu, how do you feel when you go out with me today?"

"Are you happy or not?"

Bai Gui seemed unintentional, but spoke sincerely and whispered.

It's like whispering.

"joy……"

"Of course I'm a little happy."

Bai Xiuzhu felt the softness in her ears, lowered her head, looked at her toes, her face was slightly red, and her voice was like a mosquito.

She visited Chang'an Temple with Bai Gui. Although the process was the same as climbing the mountain in the past, her mood was quite 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. Saying "unhappy" inevitably means rejecting people thousands of miles away, so I can only say the word "happy".

But as soon as she uttered these two words, she saw Bai Gui laughing loudly, getting on his horse, and galloping away, he disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only dust left behind.

Bai Xiuzhu was surprised when she saw such an abnormal behavior.

But she happened to be naturally intelligent, stopped in front of the Baifu gate for a while, and soon couldn't help but think of what she said earlier, and her face flushed with shame.

"Bai Meihe..."

Bai Xiuzhu gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, twisted her waist, and walked straight in without looking back.

"Xiuzhu, what happened to her?"

Mrs. Bai didn't know why, and her face was full of doubts. Just now, Bai Gui spoke in a very soft voice, and she couldn't get close to listen carefully, so seeing Bai Xiuzhu's posture now, she couldn't help but be puzzled.

……

Luohua Hutong, NO.12.

"Mr. Bai, you are back."

Lao Li was sleeping in the porter's room. Hearing noises outside, he hurriedly 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 taken on a completely new look. The walls were painted with lime powder, the weeds on the edge of the courtyard walls were pulled out, the ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and the door panels were also painted with tung oil...

"Yes, the house is well tidied up."

"I'm also very satisfied with the layout."

He nodded, took another half step back, and saw the newly hung plaque with the word "White House" written on it.

Generally speaking, only princes and dukes can be called mansions, ordinary officials and nobles can only be called mansions, and ranks are higher officials.Although there is no inferiority, most of the mansions are more than the system. Those who are called houses are not called houses, but they are called first, and those who are called first are called mansions.

But Bai Gui still deliberately explained to Zhou Defa that it must be written as Bai's house.

In fact, if he overstepped the rules and called him Baifu, no one would care about him, but this is more important than Baifu, which is not very good.Secondly, he has just graduated and returned to China, and he has already stated that he does not want to be an official, but if he is listed as "Baifu", it will inevitably make people think a little bit more, is it because Bai Meihe is dormant, or is there not enough official positions in the government...

To avoid trouble, it is better to write Baizhai.
