Chapter 102 Live up to Feiqing

Wuxian has always been the seat of Yangzhou's prefecture and Wujun County, and it is also the political, cultural, economic and military center of Yangzhou. With so many years of development, the original urban area could no longer meet the near-explosive population growth and housing pressure, so a small-scale city was rebuilt on the low hilly mountains west of the main city.

At first, the main function of the Affiliated City was the gathering place for many government offices such as the governor's office, the prefectural office and the county office. Later, with the government as the center, all walks of life were fully spread out like bamboo shoots after a rain. In just ten years, a huge urban area with a scale comparable to the main and secondary city was formed. Then in thirty years, the development became even more unbalanced, forming a situation of reversal of the main and secondary. The original main city became a gathering area for ordinary people, while the Affiliated City became the territory of officials, aristocratic families, gentry and wealthy businessmen. Dozens of rivers dominated by Yuexi separated the main city and the Affiliated City, just like poverty and family background, it was so clear.

The main city leads to the main city mainly rely on three official roads and dense arch bridges. Xu You'anbu is a car. While enjoying the scenery of Wu County, he talks about Gu Yun's marriage. He Ru sneered: "Gu Yun is afraid that he is not very satisfied with the Lu girl, so he has been delaying it and never wants to get married. He doesn't want it if he doesn't want it, but he uses Qilang's reason to offend us for no reason, and the wise will not do it!"

He knew that He Ru had always had a knot in Zhang Xuanji's affairs. In his opinion, since Gu Yun didn't like Lu Weiyang, it would be better to marry Zhang Xuanji, which would completely cut off Xu You's idea.

Xu You would not argue with him about these things. How can one thing be said clearly? He turned his head and smiled, "Qingming, what do you think?"

Qingming said lightly: "I don't know!" Although he entered the fifth-grade mountain gate, he knew nothing about relationships between men and women. If Gu Yun doesn't like it, then don't marry him. Why should he force himself to suffer this crime? Could it be that Gu would really punish the most promising hero in the family for a female girl in the other surname?

"I don't know that it's not knowing, it's because of knowing!" Xu You praised him, stopped on the bridge, looked at the clear water and waves under the bridge, and a few fat geese swam by lightly, leaving a fleeting trace, and said softly: "It's too utilitarian to see things, and this is not wrong. The world is hustle and bustle, and all are for profit, but sometimes, less utilitarianism can make more profits! Putting aside the friendship between Feiqing and I, just talking about the benefits, it doesn't matter if you offend Gu Lu's elders, because they only belong to the past of the family, while Feiqing belongs to the future of the family. If you regard this as a play, I would rather put the money on Feiqing!"

He Ru sighed: "What Qilang said is good, but if Gu Yun is not indecisive, we could have been both not offended..."

"How can you get the two-way law in the world?" Xu You walked forward with a graceful figure and laughed: "I will not let Feiqing down and my heart down!"

"What a saying in the world, how can you achieve the two-way law, and live up to Feiqing and live up to your heart!"

A man suddenly walked over to the east end of the bridge. He was wearing a monk's robe, with ugly appearance and dark skin. His eyes were crystal clear and untainted by dust, which made people feel good. He quickly caught up with Xu You, put his hands together, and said respectfully: "Is the gentleman of the Wei-Yi?"

Xu You returned the favor and said strangely: "Do you recognize me?"

"I don't recognize it!" The monk laughed, his thin white teeth shining brightly in the sun, and said, "But the whole Yangzhou who can recite the 'How can you get the law of both worlds', I think it's the only one that is the You Ye Yiguang!"

This flattering master, Xu You said seriously: "The master is so serious, and only two sentences of the broken poem are difficult to express his meaning. It is just a play, so he should not be praised!"

The monk kept his smile unchanged and said, "The man saw the flowing water and found two poems, but they still vaguely contained the essence of Buddhism. No wonder even Mr. Zhu respected Mr. Zhu as the teacher of the six-character!"

"Hmm?" Xu You deliberately showed a look of horror and said, "Who is the mage?"

The monk clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "I am Zhu Wushu, a disciple under Zhu Zhenren, the leader of the Sect of Wushu. Let's go to Qi!" He stood up, his eyes curled into crescent moons, and said, "Because I am as black as lacquer, I am known as the Taoist Qi!"

Before the Tang Dynasty, monks were also called Taoist priests. This Tao was the way of practice and was not exclusive to Taoist sects. Therefore, monks or Taoist priests could call themselves poor Taoism.

After the Tang Dynasty, monks claimed that they were poor monks and poor monks, and they were both in unison. It was not until the Yuan and Ming dynasties that they gradually parted ways. Monks called monks and Taoists praised them, and they were clearly visible at a glance.

Xu You thought this person was very interesting and said, "Don't respect! It turns out that he is a disciple of Master Zhu. If I talk about Buddhism, I am not as good as a master, and I cannot compare with Master Zhu, how dare I be the six-character teacher?"

Zhu Wushu smiled and said, "Do you remember Junior Brother Wuchen?"

The Zhuang monk who followed Zhu Fayan?

Xu You hurriedly said, "Of course I remember that Master Wuchen and I were very close, but after the White Thieves' Rebellion, there was no news about Master Wuchen!"

"Mr. Wuchen left Qiantang and returned to Jinling before the White Thieves Rebellion, and by chance he escaped the murder. When I was in Jinling, I was closest to him and often heard him mention that Weizhilang is the Great Vibhasha of my monk. If we talk about Buddhism, except for the Master, we are all the last generation to learn and go to the end!"

When he thought of Zhu Wuchen, Xu You had a good impression of the scheming fat monk, and said with a sigh: "Mage Wujue repented of suicide. Master Wuchen was too sad, so I comforted him with the Buddhist scriptures I heard by chance. I didn't expect that Master Wuchen was enlightened because of this and called me the Great Vibhasha. You were so ashamed and did not dare to accept it!"

"My husband is willing to be unrepentant!" Zhu Wushu suddenly whispered: "Master seems to have this intention. When the time is ripe in the future, he may worship Mr. Davibhasha. However, this matter is still brewing, so Mr. Don't leak it..."

Xu You was stunned. Great Vibhasha is one of the very important names of Buddhism. How can he teach it lightly to outsiders? What's more, he has a clanging relationship with Zhu Dao, so why do he have a bright eye for him?

"The mage was joking..."

"I dare to joke with my husband about such things?" Zhu Wushu was unwilling to continue this topic. Seeing more and more people heading towards the city, he smiled and said, "These are people who are preparing to see the husband's style today, but they don't recognize him and missed the opportunity..."

Xu You argued with Wei Wuji today about the "Spring and Autumn Annals". The news had long been spread through various channels. Not only did literati and famous people gather in the county magistrate's office, but even the common people like to join in the fun and came together. Looking at the momentum, I was afraid that there were not thousands of people.

At that moment, he walked with Zhu Wushu, entered the Affiliated City and the County Magistrate's Mansion. Gu Yun had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xu You, he walked up to him quickly and hugged him tightly, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"Mini!"

"Feiqing!"

Holding hands, Gu Yunjun's eyes flashed with tears of joy and said, "I have wanted to go to Mingyu Mountain several times, but I am afraid of misleading Weizhi's literary career. I have been thinking about it all day and night for the past year, so I am really worried!"

"Although I can't go out of seclusion, I often recall Fei Qing. I thought that if you were busy with government affairs, would you be tired and slightly inferior to your grace? When I saw you today, you are still better than the past!"

The two of them reminisced about the past, as if no one was around, He Ru coughed a few times. Then Xu You pulled Zhu Wushu and Gu Yun to introduce their acquaintance. After the ceremony, they went to the back garden together, which was also the place for this debate. As soon as they arrived at the arch, they heard the crowds and bustling inside. The first thing they wanted was the ingenious and exquisite pavilions, built along the mountain, small or large, straight or curved, just rightly integrated into the mountains, making people feel relaxed and lingering. In the middle, there was a tall wooden round platform, and eight redwood bridges were like Guanyin’s thousand hands, connecting the corridors around them. The gurgling stream flowed through the high platform, which was really elegant and beautiful everywhere!

"This place is called a thin waist platform. Look at the high platform, the bridge is erected in all directions, and the clothes are fluttering, which is the beautiful red dress, and it has its own fragrance."

Xu You smiled and said, "No wonder Feiqing works hard all day long and can feel refreshed. There is such a good place in the mansion." He was not surprised. When he was the magistrate of Qiantang County, Gu Yun cleaned up the back garden of Qiantang County Government in a beautiful way. This is the nature of a family and cannot stand the simple place. However, the atmosphere at that time was like this, and people would only praise him for his taste, but would not impeach him for being extravagant just because Gu Yun was in office.

"I don't come often. I occasionally have time to ask the singer to play songs on the thin waist platform to play music to cheer him up, and let go of his worries." Gu Yun said excitedly and said, "Today, in order to cheer for Weizhi, I specially invited Li Xianji to come. You must know that Li Xianji is the number one prostitute in Jiangdong, and is not inferior to Cui Yuanjiang and Feng Zhonger, who are both beautiful in Jinling. She will not go out for guests at any time. If she hadn't heard that Weizhi was coming, I wouldn't have invited this girl's big boss!"

"Feiqing is too humble. How can you not give you Gu Fujun's face?"

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "My little brother doesn't like the Qinlou Chuguan, and rarely interacts with the people in the Qu, so he doesn't know the name of Li Xianji. She was originally the daughter of Li Lan, a Guanglu doctor. She has been well-educated since childhood, has been well-educated in poetry and prose, and has mastered all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At that time, Cardamom had already caused a sensation in Jinling. It is said that the person who proposed marriage almost broke through the threshold of Li's family. It is just..."

"Just what?" Xu You couldn't help asking when he saw Gu Yun seemed to have a hidden secret.

"It was only later that the witchcraft incident was involved. Li Lan was killed by the lord, and more than a dozen of his wife and daughters were in the camp. Li Xianji was wandering in Yangzhou and soon became famous. She was favored by the former Yangzhou governor Liu Quan. In addition, Li Lan had many old friends in the court. Although she was humble, no one dared to bully her. So I invited her. If she didn't want to, there was no way."

The Witchcraft Incident?

Xu You probably had some impression of this incident, but the former owner of this body was not familiar with the worldly affairs. He was still young when the witchcraft incident occurred and did not know the specific inside story. When he heard this, he frowned and looked at He Ru sideways.

He Ru nodded slightly and signaled that he knew the inside story. Xu You no longer asked Gu Yun. He had always been an omniscient and omnipotent image in front of Gu Yun. This person is not easy to build and must not be easily destroyed.

"I see!"

Xu You showed a contempt for Ai and said, "Feiqing said it so much that I felt itchy. Today I want to see what amazing methods the number one prostitute in Jiangdong has!"

Gu Yun laughed and said, "Li Xianji has never served people with lust for many years. If Wei Zhi is lucky enough to be a guest in the curtain, I will give you a great gift!"

"What a gift?"

"The original work of "Recommendation of Ji Zhibing" collected by Yang Wei, the prefect of Xin'an!"

"Ah?" Xu You said in shock: "Take it serious?"

"Take it seriously!" Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, looked at Xu You's expression with a little smug smiled like a little fox, and said, "Premier Yang wants to ask me for a picture of "The Goddess of Luo River". I want him to exchange it for "Recommendation of Ji Zhibing". Although the old man was unwilling to give up, he still sent it over. I know that Weizhi's calligraphy was the best, so I guess he would not be moved by Zhong Yao's original works."

Xu You rubbed his hands and licked his face and said, "Why don't you change the bet? You know, I won't please girls. Li Xianji is in a brothel. What kind of man she has never seen before? How could she share the same kind of man with me?"
