By the time he arrived at the Jiangning Mansion Office, it was already afternoon time, and the busiest period of official duties had passed. Cao Yi handed in the greeting card, but he used his identity as the Cao family. After a while, a servant came out and led Cao Yi into a room.

Lobby.

Magistrate Yang was reviewing something on the desk, his expression was serious, and even had a hint of majesty. It was quite different from the last time at the Jinling Poetry Club. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and squinted at Cao Yi.

Yi then stepped forward quickly: "Cao Yi pays homage to the magistrate."

"No gifts!" Yang Jue waved his hand, asked Cao Yi to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea. After finishing the reception, he said: "Your father and I were officials in the same dynasty, and he placed your mother and son in Jiangning.

When you came to the city, you had already greeted me and would take care of me more from now on, but your kid has never come to see me. Now that you are here, you must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you have anything to do, just tell me, haha.

"After Yang Jue finished speaking, he burst into hearty laughter, and there was a hint of wanting to have more close relatives in his words.

"Yang Gong Mingjian, I really have something to ask for when I come here this time." He explained in detail the request for calligraphy treasures and the opening of the hotel, and Yang Jue naturally agreed.

"No problem, I can write the inscription to you now, but as for the opening of the hotel, I will wear casual clothes that day and attend in a private capacity, and I will not stay too long. After all, I am busy with official duties..."

"This junior naturally knows that Yang Gonggui is a high-ranking official in the border area. He can spare time to stand up for this junior. I am very grateful. I have specially prepared two small altars of 'Taibai Zui' as a token of my gratitude."

"Haha, since it's 'Taibai Zui', I'll accept it, but don't bring anything here next time, it will save you some tongue-in-cheek." Yang Jue said with a chuckle, since he tasted it at the Jinling Poetry Competition a few days ago,

Drinking other wine at home these days feels boring. Even if Cao Yi doesn't send it over, he plans to visit the Korean lady in the next few days and ask Cao Yi for some food. Now that Cao Yi has sent it over personally, how can there be any

The reason for rejecting others.

"Mr. Yang, I have something to ask for when I come here this time." Cao Yi drank a cup of tea and asked when the time was almost up.

"Oh, if you have anything to do, just tell me. There's no need to hide it." Yang Jue squinted his eyes and said calmly, but he didn't agree blindly.

"Yang Gong is like this. This junior's Zuixian Tower is about to open. The original size of the wine shop in my family is a bit small, so I want to open it six or seven miles southwest of the south gate on the outskirts of Jiangning City, between Niushou Mountain and Guanyin Mountain.

Purchase a piece of land and use it as a winery to facilitate large-scale production in the future." Cao Yi took out a map and showed it to Magistrate Yang. The location and scope of the land he wanted to purchase was marked on it.

"I thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be this. There is no problem with this. As far as I know, the land itself is relatively barren and not suitable for farming, so it has been idle there. Since you want it, the whole land

It doesn’t matter if all the land is sold to you. There are temples and Taoist temples on Niushou Mountain, but there are no Buddhist and Taoist palaces on Guanyin Mountain. How about selling the Guanyin Mountain next to you as well? The price is not expensive anyway. You can give me a total of

Eight hundred taels of silver is enough. Let’s do this. Tomorrow the government office will send someone to verify the specific land boundary and size. You will also arrange for someone to accompany you. After verification, go to the government office to hand over the money and sign the land deed.

That’s fine”

Although Cao Yi had already prepared in his heart, the barren land in the remote suburbs of the city was not expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap. He quickly expressed his thanks, and after greetings for a while, he left.

On the way back, Cao Yi was in a very good mood and shouted "YES!" several times on the horse. Qingwen didn't know what the young master meant, and Qingwen didn't dare to ask.

When they got home, Liu Baiqing and Hong Xiu had not come back yet, and they had nothing to do. Cao Yi decided to read a book to kill time, and casually picked up a book on the bookshelf. The title was "Luoyang Jialan Ji".

It is a work that combines history, geography, Buddhism, and literature. It can be said that it is both complex and simple, and the writing is beautiful. From the perspective of literature and art, it is considered a superior work. Tan Yun walked to the side and lit incense, but

From time to time, his little head turned to peek at the books in Cao Yi's hands, trying to see what book Cao Yi was reading.

Cao Yi looked funny and nodded Tan Yun's little head: "Tan Yun, what are you doing? If you want to read it, just read it. You can all read the books here, why are you so sneaky!"

Tan Yun covered his forehead that was pointed by Cao Yi's finger and pouted, "Do you want to see what book the young master is reading? The young master is so smart and is known as the number one talent in Jiangning City. If this slave has read the young master,

Memorize all the books, and then read them carefully when I have time. Then I will become a talented woman," Tan Yun said confidently, as if it were a matter of course.

Cao Yi couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and was a little infected by Tan Yun's innocent heart and innocence. He said with a smile: "This is actually just someone else's notebook. It is to recall the grand occasion of many Buddhist temples in Luoyang City at that time, but there are some in it

The story is quite good, do you want to listen?"

"Okay, okay, sir, please wait." Then Tan Yun moved a chair from the side, brought a cake and fruit bowl, filled Cao Yi with hot tea as if to please, then sat down and looked at Cao Yi, with big eyes.

, as if to say, "Sir, you can start now." It made Cao Yi amused.

Cao Yi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Well, okay, listen carefully. This story happened in Luoyang City, the ancient capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, a city-defending general was ordered to garrison

In Luoyang City, I met a local girl while working in the city. The two fell in love with each other at first sight, and soon they became privately engaged for life."

"Ah! So fast?" Tan Yun exclaimed, then stuck out his tongue, "Sir, please continue talking, I promise not to make a sound."

"Unfortunately, good flowers don't always bloom, and good times don't always last. The Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack the Song Dynasty at this time. At the time of the country's survival, the general responded to the court's call and was transferred to the border to fight. Before leaving, he bid farewell to his beloved and only said "wait"

I have won the battle, and I will definitely come back to marry you... The woman stood at the city gate, watching the general sitting on the saddle, and left without looking back... The general left for several months on this expedition, during which the Song Dynasty army continued to fight

After being defeated, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty beheaded two generals in a fit of rage. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty launched an all-out attack and forcibly crossed the Yellow River. Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty ignored the advice of his courtiers and launched a strong attack. However, after being defeated, the imperial capital Luoyang City was finally captured by the Northern Wei Dynasty and reduced to ruins. The prosperity of the country was reduced to ruins.

Yesterday, the ancient capital was lined with pagodas, pavilions, pavilions, singing and dancing, and full of life with laughter and laughter. In an instant, dynasties changed, swords flashed, and after the war, the isolated city was dilapidated and desolate. The strong and majestic city gates in the past were no longer there.

It is mottled. The lush old trees on both sides of the city gate were cut down by someone unknown during the war, leaving only the old tree roots entangled in the corners. In the past, there were many guests in the palace, but now only the ruins are left.

Overgrown with weeds.”

After saying this, Cao Yi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He nodded at the fruit plate on the table. Tan Yun naturally knew what he meant. He picked up a date with his little hand and put it into the young master's mouth. "Young Master, hurry up."

Tell me, what’s the next story?”

"Next, in this corner of Luoyang City, there is a famous temple called Jialan Temple. In previous years, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, there were many believers, and the incense was prosperous. But now, the monks have left the temple and the pagoda is broken. Then under the city gate

On the bluestone board, the woman sat there every day, looking into the distance, waiting for the general to return. Whenever someone came back from the battlefield, they would ask with hope if they had seen the general and if there was any news about him.

But there was no news that the general had returned victoriously. The sound of the shepherd's flute was heard in the distance, and the sound was sad. The war was in chaos and the world was in chaos, but the woman was unwilling to abandon the city and still waited day by day, firmly believing that the general had promised her

Yes, he will come back. As the days passed, the woman grew older year by year, but the general still did not come back. In the end, the woman became a nun and hid in the Jialan Temple."

"Later, the general finally came back, but she could no longer be found where the woman originally lived. The general came to the city gate where they were separated to miss him. An old man next to him told the general that there once was a woman who had been living there.

Here she waited for her sweetheart to come back. After waiting for more than ten years, she has now become a nun and is in the Jialan Temple. The general rushed over, but was told that he came too late. The woman had already fallen ill and died.

When I arrived, I was still reciting the general's name, waiting for him to come back. At this time, it started to rain heavily. The general looked around, and saw that the country he fought for was in dilapidated state, and the great rivers and mountains were trampled by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Even his beloved woman

The fragrance has faded away and the jade has passed away. I became disheartened and became a monk. From then on, I always accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern."

"Master, why are you telling such a sad story... Wuwu... That woman is so pitiful... Wuwu," Tan Yun said while sobbing.

In order to prevent Tan Yun from crying too sadly, Cao Yi said: "There is actually another song in this story. Tan Yun, do you want me to teach you how to sing it, and you can sing it to the young master?"
