Chapter 112 Gao Gonglinmen

Of course, no one asked the prince's name to be compared with everyone. But in Gao Gong's opinion, it should not be embarrassing at least. Gao Gong is the prince's master. His requirements for the prince are much higher than those of others.

The prince looked a little ugly and said, "Okay, Master Gao, I will write a good decorative handwriting."

A few days later, it was the day of Yan Song’s 80th birthday.

Gao Gong took the vertical axis of the prince's writing: "The Pillar and the Stream" and came to West Chang'an Street.

West Chang'an Street is also considered the main road of Beijing City, but now it is blocked and water is blocked. Most of the personnel of the Five City Military and Horses Office are here to guide traffic. Although West Chang'an Street is also very spacious, it is now considered a four-lane in both directions. Now it seems that the entire Beijing City has come here.

Gao Gong was about outside Yan's mansion, and got out of the hunch, holding a vertical shaft and walking aside. Seeing these cars and horses, one after another, many of them were gifts given to Master Yan. Gao Gong looked at the ruts and sneered. He knew that the things in the car must be very expensive.

Nothing else, although some places in Beijing have begun to harden the road surface. Most places are still paved with loess. When the carriage walks on it, it will leave ruts. The depth of the ruts can determine whether the items inside the car are expensive.

After all, valuable things these days, such as gold and silver, are very heavy.

Most of the vehicles in front of Yan Mansion have such deep ruts.

In Gao Gong's view, these are all people's fat and cream.

Especially when Gao Gong saw the convoy that could not be seen at first sight, he inquired about it. It was Yan Maoqing who was patrolling salt in Yangzhou.

Gao Gong refused to say, "It's so rich and proud."

Scholars scold them all turn around. This sentence comes from "Records of the Grand Historian's Family", and the original text is: "Those who are poor and humble are arrogant. Those who are arrogant will lose their country if they are arrogant, and those who are arrogant will lose their family if they are arrogant."

I am willing to advise Prince Wei, so that he should not be rich and proud. At this moment, Gao Gong expressed his meaning that the scholars and officials would lose their family if they were rich and proud. They would not be able to curse the Yan Party for a long time.

It’s just that in front of someone else’s house, some things are hard to say too clearly.

Before Gao Gong came to the gate, he saw a long queue. Fortunately, Gao Gong, the Imperial College Supervisor, was also a high-ranking official, not to mention that he came on behalf of the prince. When Yan's mansion heard this, he would lead him to the front.

Yan Shifan came out and met. After a few greetings with Gao Gong, Gao Gong gave the prince's gift and his own gift, that is, Gao Gong's calligraphy and painting, and he was relatively speechless after giving it to him.

The two of them didn't deal with each other on weekdays. Gao Gong had no intention of talking to Yan Shifan, and today was a happy day for Yan's mansion. Yan Shifan didn't want to cause anything, so he asked Gao Gong to sit in the room, so naturally there were servants leading the way.

Gao Gong followed the maid who led the way and walked in the high-gate courtyard. He felt that the courtyard was full of people, and he moved around and changed the scenery. The rockery flowed water was overwhelmed. He didn't know how long he had walked for a while. The noise at the gate of Yan's mansion gradually faded away. A quiet atmosphere came to his face. He felt that he had left the world and was no longer in the capital.

When Gao Gong opened a door, he was even more shocked. But he saw the flowing water flowing into a small lake. What was even more surprising was that there were a few cranes in the small lake, who were not afraid of people at all, and pecked at their own feathers.

Gao Gong has seen it on the market, but I didn’t know if it was really a illusion for a while.

Gardens were created in the capital, as long as you have money, it was enough. However, cranes were not easy to keep. Gao Gong couldn't figure out how these cranes came from for a while.

Seeing this, the servants around him smiled and said, "Sir Gao, this is my Ruihe Garden, which is the old man's favorite place. Many people think that there is Ruihe Garden first and then the cranes. In fact, this is not the case. This place is originally a place where water accumulates in the capital. My old man passed by here one day and found that there were cranes here. People surrounded this place into a yard. I specially found someone who was proficient in crane nature and served them day and night. Later, every year, the cranes came here to settle down. One year, the cranes were alone, and my family poured hot water into the lake every day to make the crane survive. So several cranes finally lived here. The old man even wrote a plaque of Ruihe Garden. He refused to come here on weekdays. Today, he specially brought this garden to entertain guests."

Gao Gong was speechless for a moment.

It sounds simple, but in Gao Gong's opinion, it is simply a luxury. It seems very elegant, but it is actually extremely ironic. You should know how many roads fall in Beijing every winter, but it can be done here. In order to keep the cranes warm, they keep pouring hot water into the lake.

The people even counted the firewood and said that they didn’t know how much to waste here.

The wealth of wealthy families has exceeded Gao Gong, a native of Henan Province. Gao Gong is also a gentry in his hometown of Zhongmu. However, his family only has a few hundred acres of land, so he only maintains the farming and studying at home. He never thought that Yan's mansion was like this.

"Sir, tall man." said the servant on the side.

Gao Gong came back to his senses and said, "Oh."

The servant said, "Please here."

Gao Gong followed the path guided by the servants and came to a temporary pavilion. The words "Ruihetang" were written on it. From the tip of the pen, Gao Gong could see that it was Yan Song's handwriting.

I have to admit that Yan Song's calligraphy is still very skillful.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Gong saw half a room beside the water, and the crane was swimming freely outside the window. It was a great place to watch the crane. Gao Gong glanced at him and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

He saw some paintings hanging on the wall. Gao Gong was just beginning to think it was a bit of sin. But one of the paintings attracted Gao Gong's attention. No, it should be the characters above. Gao Gong stepped forward and took a closer look.

It is indeed a thin gold body. It turns out that this auspicious crane picture was painted by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. It is also a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting, which complement each other.

Gao Gong was even more shocked for a moment.

Song Huizong's paintings were not only very, very valuable in later generations. They were also worth a thousand gold in the Ming Dynasty. Yan's mansion hung the paintings of Song Huizong here, as if they were painted with a layer of gold on the wall.

Gao Gong then looked at other paintings and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Famous scholars of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and even famous scholars of this dynasty, were among them, which shocked Gao Gong even more. Among them, there was a copy of the Feihe Picture of Emperor Xuanzong of the Dynasty.

The imperial pen of the emperor of this dynasty was a common family who wished to worship on the incense table and kneel down day and night. However, Yan's mansion actually hanged the painting on the wall, and the meaning contained in it was too deep.

If all the previous things were just wealth. After all, these enjoyments were enough as long as you have money. And this behavior interpreted what expensive is.

It is impossible for ordinary people to come into contact with the emperor's imperial pens of this dynasty. Don't look at this painting. It is probably the best among all the paintings of Emperor Xuanzong. It is also considered a painting of good quality.

Such paintings must have flowed out of the palace. There is no such thing among the people. It can handle things in the palace, which itself is a symbol of power.

But when I got such a painting, I didn't collect it well. It was actually hung on the wall. It seemed to be decorative. I was so blatant that I didn't seem to be afraid of people knowing it or reporting it at all. After all, the power of the Yan Mansion and such a little thing, even if I told Jiajing, Jiajing would not think there was anything wrong with it.

This is the power of the master.

Gao Gong just sneered and stopped talking.

At this time, when Gao Gong heard other footsteps, he looked back and saw that it was a group of people led by Li Chunfang.

Gao Gong immediately stepped forward and said hello without mentioning it. After a moment, several people came. They were all noble people, either from the Hanlin Academy or from the Imperial College. Most of them did not hold real power. It seemed that Yan's mansion had divided them together.

They are all considered to be in the Hanlin Academy system, and most of them are from Shuji. They are considered to be in the same circle. Among them, Gao Gong is the official position and is the best. They all sit down one after another.

Shortly after sitting down, he suddenly heard a loud roar outside. Unexpectedly, a servant stepped forward and said, "Sorry, your Majesty has an order for the news just now. Now the master's family is preparing to receive the order in the front yard. Do you want to watch the ceremony together?"

Gao Gong looked at the people around him and said, "Everyone, let's see what kind of grace Your Majesty has to the Yan Mansion."

So the group stood up and went to the front yard.
