Chapter 184: King Teng's Mansion

(Thanks to the beautiful love of meat、1 who 1 rewards)

Tengwang Mansion is located at the intersection of South Fourth Street and East Sixth Street, the East City of the Four Cities of Tianfu is the most prosperous, followed by the South City, in the East City concentrates all kinds of restaurants and restaurants and Qinglou Goolan and other places of food and entertainment, in the East City serious residential buildings are adjacent to the city wall, and the section of the road slightly further is occupied by merchants.

But Teng Wangfu is located in the place where these merchants gather, if it is only based on the value of the location, just the gate of the palace on East Sixth Street occupies the range of more than a dozen shops, Su Jin saw such a pattern and couldn't help but think maliciously: If this gate is smashed and changed into more than a dozen cloth villages and garment shops, he will earn at least 100,000 yuan a year.

Su Jin didn't have self-knowledge, and actually ordered the little pillar to drive the mule cart to the gate of the palace before stopping, and the little green mule with rolling eyes looked unique among the bustling high-headed horses in front of the palace, which provoked the congratulatory guests who were bustling in to look sideways.

Su Jin didn't think about that, he walked up the high steps in his whole clothes, looked around as he walked, and secretly admired the magnificence and splendor of the Teng Palace, the two vermilion lacquer gates that were more than a foot high, were covered with yellow, orange and orange shiny copper nails, half a foot thick, and such a door would require three or five healthy servants to open and close; The Rui beasts on both sides of the gate are also different from those in front of the ordinary palace, not the stone lions that are 'fierce to show their hearts, benevolent and tame', but two huge unicorn beasts that are more than three feet high.

Su Jin's mind suddenly appeared an obscure ancient text: with benevolence and righteousness, the rhythm in the sound, the rules in the steps, the twist and turn, the choice of soil and then practice, the position is flat and behind, not living in groups, not traveling, the quality of the text is also chaotic, and the questions are followed by the same.

This is the memory of the physical body of this petty official he occupies, and this passage is about the Rui Beast Qilin, which means that the Qilin has a humble demeanor of a benevolent gentleman; Mainly because the unicorn has a gentle temperament, does not cover insects, does not break grass, has horns on its head, has meat on its horns, and does not use weapons, so it is known as "benevolent beast".

Su Jin was secretly amused, and even the decorations at the door took the trouble to flaunt himself like this, His Royal Highness King Teng was really painstaking, and he didn't know who to do this kind of trick.

In fact, Su Jin didn't understand all the hidden things in ancient times, the ancients often liked to express themselves obscurely, and all aspects of dressing, clothing, food, housing and transportation had their intentions, don't think that no one has studied these things in detail, on the contrary, more people deduce this person's character and intentions through these details, especially those guys who play politics.

For example, during the Warring States Period, Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao State, once crowned the princes with martial bravery, and when Qin attacked Zhao, King Zhao wanted to reactivate him to defend against Qin soldiers, but at that time, Lian Po was already old and not very reassured; So he sent an envoy to secretly observe Lian Po's daily life, and the messenger came back to report: "Although General Lian Po is old, he is still good at eating, but he sits with his ministers, and there are three arrows ()" King Zhao was disappointed, so he didn't need Lian Po.

Although he ate a lot, he pulled a lot, and King Zhao naturally thought that he was in poor health, and he excluded Guo Kai's tricks in it, this matter is a typical example of judging the other party by careful study, and other examples such as pretending to be crazy and stupid, such as indulging in wine, such as being greedy but wearing torn clothes, it seems that His Royal Highness King Teng has three of them, and it is naturally the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the world who are confused.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a person on the steps say in a loud voice: "Isn't that Su Gongzi?" Come and shine. ”

Su Jin looked up and saw that it was Zhao Zongdan, the king of Teng, who was wearing a silver brocade robe, with a golden crown on his head, and a smile on his face to greet the guests at the door.

Everyone looked sideways and asked each other in a whisper: "Who is this little official?" Why does the prince value it so much. ”

After asking for a long time, no one knew Su Jin, and an old man in black at the door looked at everyone with a smile: "Speaking of which, it scares you, this Su Gongzi is just a student of Ying Tianfu, and his family is just a businessman who does business." "Laugh and laugh.

Everyone heard the ridicule in the old man's words, and learned that Su Jin was just a grass man, born as a lowly businessman, and immediately raised their eyebrows and squeezed their eyes at each other, snickering, and was instantly thrown out of the clouds by King Teng's snub just now.

"Congratulations to the prince, Su Jin, a grass citizen, congratulates Mrs. Zun." Su Jin hurriedly bowed and said loudly.

"Why be polite, this king just wants to take this opportunity to get together with all his friends, it is rare for Su Gongzi to appreciate his face, and this king is very relieved; Didn't you say you couldn't come? Zhao Zongdan asked with a smile.

Su Jin saluted again: "The princess's birthday, how can I not come, at the end of last month, I have already returned to my hometown in Luzhou, and the matter has been done in advance, and I will come to congratulate me no matter what." ”

"Hahaha, okay, please come into the house to talk." Zhao Zongdan's face was full of spring breeze, and he turned around to beckon everyone in, leaving the old man in black alone to greet him at the door.

The group walked through the huge courtyard, stepping on the wide passage paved with colored stones all the way to the main hall, Su Jin raised his eyes and couldn't help but admire; This palace can no longer be described by words such as luxury and magnificence, and if you have to find a word to describe it, you can only replace it with majestic, brilliant or magnificent, but such words still seem pale and weak.

But see that the courtyard is deep, the dome is stacked, the house is like Huayu, the building is like a high platform, the corridor waist is back, the eaves are high pecked, each hugging the terrain, hooking and fighting, the red roof is green, and the golden light is dazzling; There is also the long corridor that goes back and forth, the servants and maids run like clouds, the green trees and red flowers are bright like smoke, and the rockery pavilions are like pictures.

It can't be said that Su Jin has never seen the world, and the tall and exquisite buildings of later generations have seen a lot, but the scenery in this palace is different from those buildings, the atmosphere is atmospheric to the point of brilliance, exquisite but delicate to the subtle square inches, Su Jin was dumbfounded when he entered the Grand View Garden.

Everyone seemed to be frequent visitors, and they were not as surprised as Su Jin to the point that their jaws couldn't close, but they admired Su Jin's stunned appearance with great interest, and took him as a joke.

Zhao Zongdan smiled slightly, took Su Jin's arm and said: "Master Su, if you want to visit the king's mansion, I will send someone to take you around later, last time the king invited you to live, you refused, can our mansion still be worthy of Su Gongzi's master?" ”

Su Jin came back to his senses and scolded himself secretly. Forced, showing such a stingy appearance, wouldn't he teach those people to see jokes, and said with a fixed smile: "Where does the prince say, such a mansion is satisfied even if he lives in it for a day, but if he lives in it, won't it ruin this great scenery?" The ancients described women as 'too fat, and too thin.' If I live in it, this beauty will have flaws, how dare I destroy this peerless beauty. ”

Zhao Zongdan was stunned for a moment, laughed and said: "Brother Su is so eloquent, just refuse this king, just find such a grandiose reason, teach this king to be angry if he wants to, he can't be angry, there is really you." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "The prince praises falsely, the prince please." ”

Zhao Zongdan laughed, strode and led everyone to the palace-like main hall, the pillars in the main hall are all carved with white marble, the Yunnan bluestone paved with water underground, the polished light can be seen, the middle seven or eight zhang square paved with camel hair yellow carpet, stepping on it is light and silent, soft and comfortable.

Everyone sat down according to the order of seating, and the people who could enter the hall were all high-grade officials, like Wang Anshi's father, although Wang Yanzhi of Yucheng County was the head of a county, but he could only sit in the side hall, and the staff butler greeted him with tea, which was also where everyone was puzzled.

Zhao Zongdan waited for the servants to serve the tea has been finished, and said with a smile: "Today's birthday, I don't want to bother you, but this king wants to take this opportunity to get together with you, so I sent a post to you, you work hard for the Great Song Dynasty all day long, just as this is a leisure half a day, Zhang Chi has a way to better handle official affairs, this king has no official body, and there is nothing to do on weekdays, and it can't help you anything. ”

Everyone stood up and saluted: "The prince carries love, thank you for your compassion." ”

"The prince really thinks about me, even the fatigue and hard work of our people are remembered in my heart, and we really remember the five types of feelings in our hearts, and we will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince, be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and die with all my might." Tang Jie said loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will live up to the grace of the prince." The crowd chimed in.

Su Jin is caught in it, and it is not to echo, nor is it to speak, it seems that it has become a habit for these people to slip their whiskers and pat horses, these words are not blushing and heartbeat, King Teng is shameless enough, and Mrs.'s birthday is not the birthday of the whole year, so he sent a big invitation, saying that the party may not be fake, but I am afraid that the main thing is to collect money and strengthen collusion.
