The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 464 A Guest Comes From Afar, Leaving My Double Carp
Being able to hold an official position in the heavenly court means that Bai Gui is by no means a villain.

This is where the prestige of heaven lies.

If the Tang Dynasty is the Zhengshuo of the dynasties in the world, then the Heavenly Court is even more irreplaceable.

However, even though Yuan Tiangang was surprised, he only lost his color for a while, and his face immediately returned to his usual calm, "Bai Shiyi, it's because the poor Taoist misunderstood you a little bit. The teacher is not good, and the disciple is not benevolent. Gusou and Shun can see it." .”

Now that he has seen Bai Gui's "true body", Bai Gui must also know that Daoist Zheng is a different kind. Based on what Bai Gui said to him earlier, he can judge whether the two of them are in harmony.Therefore, such words that seem to divide the two masters and apprentices can also be said from the mouth, so as not to offend Bai Gui.

Gusou, Shun's biological father.After Gusou married his second wife, they gave birth to a son, Xiang.Gusou liked his second wife, so he often thought of killing Shun.In Shun's [-]th year, he heard about filial piety, and he did not lose his filial piety.So at the thirty year of Shun, Yao lifted it up, and at the fifty year of Shun, he performed the duties of the Son of Heaven.He never blamed Gusou for the fact that Gusou wanted to kill him.

Gusou is a villain.Shun is a great sage.Gusou gave 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 obstinate, his mother was arrogant, and his younger brother Xiang was proud. They all wanted to kill Shun. Shun was obedient and did not lose his son's way, and his brothers were filial and kind. If you want to kill him, you can't get it. If you ask, you can taste it. Shun was filial at twenty... ..." - "Historical Records: The Book of the Five Emperors".

Hearing the qin, one can know the elegant meaning.

Bai Guishan reads history books, and Gusou's killing of Shun is also a chapter in "Shangshu·Yao Dian", which he is quite aware of.And Yuan Tiangang was so eager to change his attitude, he also learned something from it.

He just got Cao Yuzhi, and Yuan Tiangang saw this.

Although his Kunlun mirror is the best at concealing traces, Yuzhi inherits the luck of heaven, and he is not good at covering Cao Yuzhi with the Kunlun mirror.So this matter was seen by Yuan Tiangang, who is good at physiognomy.

"Although Master Zheng is a different kind, but praying for rain this time, it can be seen... that he is also benevolent."

Bai Gui took a sip of the tea soup, pondered for a while, and replied.

When Yuan Tiangang entered the mansion, the first sentence he said, he knew that Yuan Tiangang saw that Taoist Zheng was a sheep demon.Yuan Tiangang's physiognomy is better than his qi technique.

Now that Yuan Tiangang has seen his "true body", there is no need for him to conceal it deliberately.

The two were not enemies, but colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty.

A gentleman is harmonious but not group.

"Since Bai Shiyi knows about this, I'm the one who said too much."

Seeing that Bai Gui was open and honest, Yuan Tiangang treated him as a friend, and put a smile on his face.

If it were someone else, he would definitely not be like this.

But Bai Gui's status is different, he is an official of the Heavenly Court.He, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, and the official of Qintiantai, did not dare to underestimate him.

"This is a koi caught by my uncle, and I gave it 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 from his wide sleeves. The koi was about six or seven inches, and it was a big carp.

The carp is the Taoist Chihui Gong, who is also the son of the dragon.

Yuan Tiangang's gift of this koi carp to Bai Gui is not to let Bai Gui eat this koi carp, but to keep it in the house for the purpose of promoting Feng Shui.Breeding koi, with Youbi star hanging, can make the family luck smoothly and the family will be full of wealth.

At the same time, since ancient times, it has been a custom to visit the owner and present carp as a gift.

For example, Kong Li, the son of Confucius, is because Lu Zhaogong presented Confucius with a carp to congratulate him on his son, so Confucius named his son Kong Li.

"Confucius was nineteen years old. He married the daughter of the Bingguan family of Song Dynasty, and gave birth to Boyu at the age of one. Boyu's birth was a carp left by Lu Zhaogong's envoy. The gift of the master Rongjun is because he named his son."— - "Family Language".

"Is this fish caught in the Jing River?"

Seeing this fish, Bai Gui asked.

This carp is a Yellow River carp, and the Jing River is a tributary of the Yellow River.In Chang’an, the rivers that are easy to catch koi from the Yellow River are the Jing River and the Wei River.

Of course, he didn't mean that by asking about this.

"Bai Shiyi Wisdom Eye."

"My uncle didn't serve in the imperial court, but he did fortune-telling in Ximen Street. There was a fisherman whose family was poor, but he was very benevolent and filial. So my uncle made divination for this fisherman every day, and asked him where to go to catch fish in the Jing River. This son will give my uncle a golden carp every day as a reward."

"Golden carps are not allowed for monks to eat. They are only used as Feng Shui decorations. I have already raised 38 golden carps in the water tank of my house. I have no use for these golden carps, so I often give them away..."

Yuan Tiangang laughed when he heard this.

"Uncle Ling's hexagram."

Bai Gui was secretly surprised, cupped his hands, and praised casually.

Koi are the sons of dragons, raising more koi can change Feng Shui.The same is true for water veins.Although the Jing River is connected to the Yellow River, there are many koi.But the golden carp, this noble species is much rarer.Yuan Shoucheng gets one golden carp every day, and if this goes on for a long time, the luck of the Jinghe River will drop drastically, and Feng Shui will fail.

One penny a day, one thousand pennies a thousand days.

Yuan Shoucheng is gradually destroying the feng shui of the Jinghe River.

He didn't know what deep hatred Yuan Shoucheng had with the Dragon King of Jinghe, but the Dragon King of Jinghe obviously didn't agree with him, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't mind it.

"Golden carp is a rare item. Yuan Taizheng only gave me one, which is really a bit stingy."

"As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. The Han Yuefu's "Drinking Horses and a Journey to the Great Wall Caves" also said: "The guest came from afar and left me with two carps." How could Yuan Taizheng just give me one carp."

Bai Gui inadvertently avoided the subject and said something else.

"Bai Suyi... really interesting."

Yuan Tiangang couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and took out another golden carp from his sleeve, which was about the same size as the one he took out earlier.

He smiled and threw the two golden carps directly into the water tank under the eaves.

A golden carp is worthless.

For ordinary people, golden carps are worth a lot, but for officials, a golden carp is just a small amount of money.

Bai Gui asked him for it, and proved it with poems, which is elegant.Giving an extra golden carp will actually increase the friendship between the two.

In ancient mansions, every courtyard must have a water tank, called the auspicious tank, which is used for fire prevention.

"Single not double."

"But I won't be able to ask Yuan Taizheng for it anymore. I'll go to your uncle tomorrow to buy two more golden carps."

Bai Gui glanced at the two large water tanks outside the living room. In the water tank on the left, there were two golden carp swimming back and forth, full of vitality, as if they had just been caught from the Jing River.

"After Pindao returns home, ask uncle to keep Bai Shiyi for you."

"I don't know what to pick up. This golden carp is also very popular. All the residences of the ministers in the DPRK and China like this golden carp. It is used to improve Feng Shui and attract wealth and treasure."

Yuan Tiangang smiled and nodded.

He could give Bai Gui two more golden carp, but if Bai Gui said to buy it, he would not refuse.After going back and forth, the friendship between the two families naturally gradually deepened.

It seems to be buying fish, but it is actually the reason for Bai Gui to visit the Yuan Mansion next time.
