Infrastructure masters in the red building

Sheng Gong came to the Rongguo Mansion, and Ningrong and his sons greeted him with the children of the whole mansion. After Shan Huo long live, Jia Fang was finally able to get up with the others.

He saw Shui Xian at a glance.Shui Xian didn't wear a boa robe today, he was still wearing his regular clothes, with a blue cloak on his body, which was in harmony with the moon-white robe underneath. Among the princes, he stood out and fell into Jia Fang's eyes.

Shui Xian also saw Jia Fang, and nodded slightly.

The people beside Shui Xian were also acquaintances. When the fourth prince saw Jia Fang's gaze turned, he immediately opened his mouth, as if he wanted to greet him, but then remembered that the occasion was wrong, so he quickly shut up and retracted his words.Jia Fang turned his gaze to him, and he nodded with a smile as a greeting.

Other "old acquaintances" I know include the third prince.The prince was dressed gorgeously, and when he came to the Rong Mansion, he made a subconscious movement of pulling a fan from his sleeve. He was probably used to it on weekdays, but he didn't expect that it was snowing today. I brought a fan, but it is inconvenient to take it out at this time, it just makes people laugh.

The third prince looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked forward with everyone.

Before these princes, the prince had already got off the palanquin early, came to the golden-yellow Longyu, stretched out his hand to help the emperor out.

The other people waiting in front of the gate of Rongfu may not dare to look directly at the emperor, Jia Fang is really indifferent, before the emperor pays attention to himself, he sized him up first.

What impresses him the most is that the emperor, who is wrapped in a thick fur, looks very sick and pale, and when he walks, he not only supports the prince's hand, but leans most of his entire body weight on it. on the prince, so the prince seemed to be struggling.

But this emperor has a clear face and elegant eyebrows. Jia Fang dares to guarantee that if the person in front of him is ten years younger, and his body is even a little bit better (for example, he can walk independently), he will definitely kill all the hearts of girls. handsome man.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Although the royal children are all born well, once they stand next to the emperor, the gap will come out - the crown prince's square face looks too wide, the third prince's facial features are not distinctive, and the fourth prince looks too A little too serious and resolute.

In short, it seems that this person's genes are too good, and the sons born are more or less diluted, not as good as the old man.

After meeting each other, Jia Fang had already commented on the royal family secretly, but he never thought that the eyes of the Ninth Five Lord would slowly turn towards him.The two looked at each other, and Jia Anxin's head seemed to shake slightly, only to realize that it was a bit rude and presumptuous of him to look directly at each other, so he quickly retracted his head and stared at the ground.

There were so many people waiting in front of the Rongguo Mansion, except for the previous shout of long live, no one made a sound, not even a cough.

But at this moment, Jia Fang suddenly heard someone cough twice.He was stunned for a few moments before he understood: no one dared to cough on such an occasion, and the only one who dared to cough was the emperor himself who was in poor health.

But he heard something wrong, the emperor coughed very fiercely, and the more he coughed, the louder he coughed.He was concerned, and he couldn't care less about etiquette. He looked up at the emperor, and even moved his feet, as if he wanted to help.

To his surprise, the emperor was also staring at him at this moment.

The emperor was supported by the prince, but when he passed by Jia Daishan and his son, he stopped and his eyes fell on Jia Fang's face.For some unknown reason, Tianzi's face was reddish at this moment, his breathing was heavy, and he coughed so hard that other people felt that his heart, liver and lungs were trembling.

Jia Fang was naturally concerned, and this concern was clearly shown in his eyes. With such a pair of eyes, the other party saw everything in his eyes.

The emperor seemed to feel better immediately, and the cough gradually stopped.He took the handkerchief Dai Quan handed over, closed his eyes, and only said: "Call everyone into the house, it's cold outside."

Jia Daishan quickly agreed, looked back at Jia Fang, then took Jia Fang back three steps, waited until all the princes and princes had entered, then took Jia Fang, called Jia to pardon Jia Zheng, and accompanied Ning Guogong Jia Daihua, Entered Rongxi Hall.

In the Rongxi Hall, the emperor himself is looking up at the high-hanging plaque, on which the three characters "Rongxi Hall" are written.

"The first emperor's calligraphy, I haven't seen it for some time." The emperor sighed with emotion.The crown prince and the third prince rushed forward to watch the calligraphy of the imperial grandfather.

At this time, Jia Fang and others came in.In the Rongxi Hall, someone had burned the kang on the ground early in the morning, and it was warm and even a little dry. Only in the hall, it was almost impossible to feel the cold outside.

The eunuchs in the palace had already boiled water with a small charcoal stove, brewed tea, and poured a cup for the princes and nobles in the house.Jia Daihua, Jia Daishan and other Jia family children, even though this is their own home, stood with their hands down, not daring to sit down.

"Sit!" The emperor entered the hall, no longer needing the support of others, and ordered people to sit down with a wave of his hand.

"Today I brought so many people to disturb me, Mr. Ning Rong, don't blame me for being abrupt." The emperor was not full of breath, and his voice was a little weak, but the momentum was still there. How could the public dare to be "offended" after hearing this, and hurried forward together, saying a lot of "a great honor" and other stereotypes.

"Hehe, I suddenly thought of this yesterday, but I didn't expect such a good snow today." The emperor laughed alone.He paused for a while, and the prince and the third prince immediately rushed to speak, saying that this is a "auspicious snow for a good year", a good omen, and this year will be a year of good weather and prosperity for the country and the people.

Instead, the fourth prince sat on his seat and sighed: "If... go, there will be such a good snow at this time last year, and the beginning of spring will not be so..."

The prince quickly stopped the fourth prince's words: "Don't talk about this, fourth!"

When the fourth prince heard this, he immediately shut up and stopped talking, for fear of spoiling everyone's interest.But the emperor sighed softly, and said: "Dezhang is right, remember how difficult people's livelihood is in the world, you must be diligent when dealing with political affairs."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall didn't dare to sit anymore, they should stand up together.

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, and I didn't come to Duke Rong's place to teach you a lesson... Sit down! Duke Rong, Duke Ning, say what you want. Today we will listen to the two. Your order."

Jia Daishan got up at this moment, rushed to the top, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you ordered your son Jia Fang to take the lead in repairing the Grand View Garden at this time last year. Today, only part of it has been restored..."

At this moment, the third prince interjected: "What? Didn't you finish it?"

His tone was clear: If you haven't finished your cultivation, what's there to see?

Jia Daishan's tone remained unchanged: "Yes, it is indeed not finished. There are five completed buildings today, including Daoxiang Village, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Hengwu Garden, Zhedai Zhulan Banqiao and Luxueguang, and Qinfang Stream The surface is widened, and boats can already sail in the stream."

"My son Jia Fang has prepared the current ironing samples of the Grand View Garden and the ironing samples when all the renovations are completed in the future. I beg my son Jia Fang to present two ironing samples and explain them to the emperor."

"Hot sample?" The emperor immediately became interested. "Is it the kind of hot sample that is always presented when making samples in the palace? Submit it quickly."

Jia Fang was ready under the Rongxi Hall, so he called a few young eunuchs, each of them carried an Eight Immortals table, and carried the two ironing samples to the Rongxi Hall, and presented them in front of everyone.

When everyone saw such an exquisite miniature garden, they immediately gathered together.

But the emperor didn't say anything, and these people didn't make any comments, not even a sigh, a modal particle, or a "wow".This group of people who came to visit were like a group of dummies who had no opinions. Their attention was focused on the emperor. As long as the emperor praised him, all kinds of compliments and flattery would come; Yes, what awaits Jia Fang is all kinds of harsh criticism.

But the appearance of this scene now is really because the emperor is noncommittal.

Only Shui Xian raised his head, looked at Jia Fang, and nodded at him, with a smile in his eyes, which should mean——things are so exquisitely made!

"Your Majesty, can I let the minister explain to you?" Jia Fang pretended to give an opening remark.His Majesty the Emperor over there nodded slightly: "Speak!"

Jia Fang originally typed a copy of the manuscript.But when he saw the faces of these people in front of him, Jia Fang suddenly decided that he would give up the step-by-step introduction he had originally planned.

He didn't intend to point to the exquisite and incomparable house samples on the hot sample and introduce: this is Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and this is Daoxiang Village.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Do you know about Shanglin Garden?"

Shanglin Garden was originally an old garden in the Qin Dynasty. It was rebuilt by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and became a famous royal garden in the Han Dynasty.This Shanglin Garden can be regarded as an early model of royal gardens. Sima Xiangru once wrote "Shanglin Fu" to describe the grand occasion of the garden.Therefore, all the princes and grandchildren sitting here have heard of it, and when they heard Jia Fang's question, they all nodded.

"According to legend, Emperor Wu opened Shanglin widely, from Yichun, Dinghu, Yusu, and Kunwu in the southeast to Yichun, Dinghu, Yusu, and Kunwu; next to Nanshan, to Changyang and Wuzha in the west; to Huangshan in the north, along the Wei River to the east, and hundreds of miles around. It was also included in the Wei The eight rivers, Jing, Feng, Lao, Ju, Ji, Chan, and Ba, flow across the eight rivers, diverging from each other and diverging in different states, east, west, north, south, and rushing back and forth ①..."

"It's Xiutaiye Pool, in which there are Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou, Huliang, like the genus of turtles and fishes in the sacred mountain in the sea..."

Jia Fang is familiar with all the poems and proses related to Chinese classical gardens. At this time, he narrates the majestic and magnificent scene of Shanglin Garden for everyone in the hall.

"Everyone, Shanglin Garden is very desirable, but why hasn't there been a garden like Shanglin Garden since the Han Dynasty? Why did gardening abandon those grand and rough patterns and turn them into exquisite and exquisite?"

Jia Fang raised a question, but others never thought about it.

They still only looked at the emperor's face.

But seeing that the emperor was listening intently, he paused for a while when he heard this, and asked softly, "Why?"

"Not to mention that Dongfang Shuo once said that the Shanglin Garden was "poor for the use of the country at the top, but the industry of agriculture and mulberry at the bottom". Building such a garden is a waste of money and people. Just think about what kind of people can appreciate a garden like Shanglin Garden. , we can know why later generations have abandoned the style of Shanglin."

The "three mountains and one pool" in Shanglin Garden is a simulation of the East China Sea and its three fairy mountains, and the [-]-mile imperial garden. If it is not the gods in the sky overlooking it, who can enjoy such a view?Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built this garden, I am afraid that he wanted himself to be like a fairy, to enjoy the landscape and enjoy the most expansive nature as he pleases.

Jia Daishan cleared his throat gently beside him, as if to remind Jia Fang: Be careful with your words, don't cross the line easily.No matter how much Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rejoiced in making contributions to the people and harming wealth, he was also a hero of his generation. If he criticized the emperor casually, he might be considered disrespectful to the emperor in front of him.

However, Jia Fang continued to say as if he had not heard what Jia Daishan said: "I think that the reason that the later generations did not repair the grand and majestic courtyards like the previous ones is because the later generations are more confident and more imaginative." gone."

"People of later generations, even in a limited space, are more and more able to imagine nature, and more and more able to see the big from the small. They have mountains and rivers in their hearts, and they don't need to rely on external objects. They can also travel around the world and look up at Between heaven and earth."

"The so-called 'the heart is like a dust that hides a thousand things'. A world in the garden, to me, is a world of thousands."

As Jia Fang said, everyone present was more or less moved by his words "there are mountains, rivers and ravines in the heart", thinking that if one has such a heart, even living in an exquisite courtyard is probably more important than living in a small courtyard. The Shanglin Garden, which was a waste of money and waste of money, wasted the wealth of the Han Dynasty, and it needs to be more comfortable and calm.

"Everyone, this is the foundation and aesthetics of my Chinese gardening. Everyone has a cool and pure land in their hearts, with mountains, rivers, cottages, flowers and trees that they love, words that entrust their ideals, and pavilions that they love. Gathering these in a limited space creates an infinite sense of beauty, so that people who come here can sigh, "Although the garden is small, it has all kinds of scenery." In this way, it can be said that a garden of "true self" has been created. , the garden is me, and I am the garden.”

"Please take a look at the miniature model of the 'Grand View Garden' in front of you." Jia Fang didn't care what kind of ironing it was, and when he got emotional, he directly showed the enthusiasm of showing the effect model to customers in another time and space, and gave pointers. The buildings in it, "This is Daoxiang Village, can always arouse the viewer's meaning of returning to farming. 'The old man has a chicken millet, invite me to Tian's house', that's where I went..."

"This is the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is surrounded by thousands of bamboos, and it couldn't be more secluded. Wang Wei wrote "The Bamboo Li Pavilion", saying, "Sit alone in the secluded bamboo, play the piano and sing again." Of course, you can relax in this Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Sit and read without letting go of the book, or you can invite a bosom friend to play chess in front of the window, and there are thousands of green bamboos outside the window..."

Having said this, Jia Fang couldn't hold it anymore.As he said, the garden is him, and he is the garden. At this moment, he seems to fully understand Cao Gong’s feelings when he wrote about this garden. He can understand and respond, and there is exactly the same voice in his heart. Having this position can speak for this garden.

What's more, this is his Grand View Garden, leading to his Taoyuan Village... The small society he owns alone is also the way for him to realize his ideals - he can build it with his own mind and future generations' understanding of society Become a real "Peach Blossom Spring".

Jia Fang just kept talking like this, citing classics, every place can make people understand infinitely profound meaning, even the third prince who is much older than him and claims to have read poetry and books, at this moment has to Looking at Jia Fang with amazed eyes, Xin Dao originally thought that he was an ignorant person who only had a little bit of skill in ingenuity, but he didn't know that this person could have such profound knowledge.

"So, this Grand View Garden is the paradise in your heart?"

Jia Fang finally finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, never thought that the emperor himself, who was standing opposite him at the moment, had his eyes fixed on Jia Fang's face and asked in a deep voice.

"It is not only the Taoyuan in my mind, but I think it is also the Taoyuan in the eyes of the world."

Daoxiang Village represents farming and mulberry, Xiaoxiang Pavilion means the knowledge and culture that are continuously passed on, and the vanilla in Hengwu Garden symbolizes noble character...Of course it also symbolizes the gift of nature—besides that, there are many, many more, so Jia Fang has not been able to figure out the very important buildings and functions of this time and space.

"Very good! Hearing you speak so wonderfully, I also look forward to seeing you right away." The emperor's face was still pale, but he looked straight at Jia Fang, with a hint of light in his eyes.

At this time, for fun, the prince stepped forward and looked carefully at the miniature model of the "future" Grand View Garden made by Jia Fang. It’s really detailed. Look at the writing on the archway.”

The prince read out these four words: "Gu Ensiyi!"

As soon as the prince's words fell, Jia Daihua dragged his voice and said: "This garden is the imperial garden, and the ministers have never forgotten the great kindness of the Holy One. Gu Ensiyi is what it should be."

Following Jia Daihua's cry, all the Jia's children in Rongxi Hall fell to the ground.

This archway, of course, is in the original work. In order to be "faithful" to the great garden described by Cao Gong in the original work, Jia Fang conveniently made it into the ironing sample.He didn't mention it in particular, after all, this archway has nothing to do with the "Peach Blossom Spring" in his mind.

But just now Jia Fang was eloquent, but in fact, we really need to get to the bottom of it, and there are quite a few taboos in it.So the prince's voice actually helped Jia Fang, and Jia Daihua was really quick to see the opportunity. This yelling and kneeling immediately made Jia Fang open and close, and the emotional "opening", Putting on a coat of "Guang Weizheng".His previous taboo words were all covered under this coat and could be easily erased.

Jia Fang moved a bit slower, but he already had some experience, so he immediately shrank behind his father and asked his father Jia Daishan to block for him.

He didn't know, seeing him shrinking behind Jia Daishan, the emperor's eyes dimmed a little, then he raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, and then turned his eyes back to the "miniature model" in front of him.

"You say this is called a 'miniature model'?" asked the emperor.

Jia Fang quickly responded, "Yes! I... Xiaochen's model is completely made in proportion, and all the buildings are enlarged according to the proportion, which is exactly the same as the real thing."

He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in the title just now in a hurry.His father had warned him not to call himself "I" in front of Sheng Jia.

But having said it all, Jia Fang could only stick out his tongue secretly.
