Chapter 104 Du Family Patriarch
Du Zigui invited Liu Yi with a smile and said, "I want to invite Yi Yi to the mansion to talk to you. I wonder if Yi Yi Yi Yi can give you a face?"
Du Zigui smiled sincerely, staring at Liu Yi-Yi when he spoke, obviously hoping that Liu Yi-Yi would agree.
Although he was very disliked Du Zigui, he raised his hand and did not hit the smiley person. The Du family was the largest family in Sanyuan. Liu Yi did not dare to take too much attention from the young master of the Du family. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed. He had to press the matter of buying grain.
"Brother Yi," Du Zigui asked Liu Yi, "Just just now in Brother Helan's bedroom, Brother Yi said that there is a tool that allows Brother Helan to move freely. I don't know what it is? I'm ignorant. After thinking for a long time, I still can't think of it. Please ask Brother Yi to teach me."
Liu Yi sat on the back of the donkey, crossed his legs, glanced at Du Zhigui, and smiled and said, "It's just a simple crutch, specially suitable for people like Helan, who have broken legs, broken legs, and can't stick to the ground. If Mr. Du feels it is rare, he will give you one in two days."
"Uh, that's not necessary. Thank you for your kindness." Du Zigui smiled awkwardly. If he really wanted Liu Yi's crutch, wouldn't he be looking for a curse? Zhi Liu Yi didn't want to reveal it, and Du Zigui also tactfully stopped asking.
The Sanyuan County is not big, and Liu Yi and the other two rode fast donkeys and horses. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Du Mansion.
When the servant in front of the door saw his young master return home, he warmly greeted him, took the reins from Du Zigui and Liu, and led a donkey and a horse to the horse's house.
"Brother, please!" Du Zigui reached out to Liu Yi, and then walked in front to guide Liu Yi.
"Please, Mr. Du!" Liu Yi bowed to Du Zigui, and followed Du Zigui into the Du family's house.
The Du family started with literature, and Du Yan was famous all over the world for his excellent writings, so the Du family can be regarded as a scholarly family. The decorations in the courtyard also seem very elegant, which are very different from the two houses of Gongsun Mansion and Yang Mansion, the Wuli Family. In the courtyard, there are many things that express their aspirations, such as plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, and occasionally there are strange pine and strange rocks standing beside the wall.
Liu Yi followed Du Zigui, watching the scenery in the Du family courtyard, and kept nodding his head. Although there are only a few plum blossoms now, and there is no way to see anything, if it is spring, everything will be prosperous, the green area of this courtyard can reach at least 60%, which is green and pleasant, and living here is also a pleasure.
"The overall structure of this house was arranged and designed by my grandfather himself," Du Zigui saw that Liu Yi seemed very happy with the scenery in the courtyard, so he smiled and said to him: "If you are happy, I will accompany you to see you everywhere. Please come with me."
Liu Yiuan praised: "It turned out to be the work of the old Censor Du, no wonder, no wonder." As he said that, he waved his hand to Du Zigui and said: "But there is no need to watch everywhere. It is the first month of the year and everything has not been updated yet. Now, it is the same place as here. It is not the time. Let's go and see Uncle Du first."
Du Zigui slowed down and said to Liu Yi: "What brother said is very good. The scenery in this mansion is the most dazzling only in March to April every year. At that time, flowers are in full bloom and green is fragrant, which is pleasing to the eye. However, there is a scenery in the mansion. I think I will like it when I see you. And my father must be there at this moment, so I will come with you."
"Oh?" Liu Yi was a little interested. Could it be that there were any rare treasures in the Du family? So he reached out to Du Zigui and asked, "I'll bother Mr. Du to lead the way."
The Du family's house was large and covered a total of hundreds of acres. It took Liu Yi and Du Zigui to walk from the front yard to the back yard, which took him ten minutes.
And in the backyard, Liu Yiu saw a scene that shocked him.
There is a yard plum blossom forest in the backyard of the plum forest in the Du Mansion! There are as many as 40 or 50 plants. At first glance, the pink area is very charming.
Liu Yi was stunned. He had not seen these things before. On the contrary, he would not take Meilin, which was larger and more gorgeous than this. He had gone to the sea in the past parks and tourist attractions. What things had he never seen before?
But all of them were funded by the state or local governments and built collectively, and were built to entertain the public. However, the Du family, the Meilin was specially built by the Du family to entertain themselves.
Luxury, what a fucking luxury. Liu Yi looked at the Meilin in front of him and thought the most about the word luxury.
The annual expenses of this garden's plum blossom forest are more than 100 yuan. In order to see it for a few glances every year, they are willing to let it go?! Is this the life of rich people in ancient times? It's really a waste of family. Thinking about the life of the tenants under his command before, no wonder Du Fu, later generations, would write the poem "The rich family smells of wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death."
Seeing Liu Yi's dazed look, Du Zigui couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in the corner of his eyes. The farmer was the farmer, and he was scared by such a scene. I really don't know if there was something wrong with Gongsun Wenda and Gongsun Helan's eyes. How could he look down on him?
"Brother," Du Zigui stepped forward and called Liu Yiyi, saying, "My father is in the plum blossom pavilion in this plum blossom forest, let's go here."
"Oh, please, Mr. Du." Liu Yi woke up and followed Du Zigui into the plum blossom forest.
"General! Du Ji, you lost again, hahaha." A happy laugh came from Merlin, and it could be heard that someone was playing chess inside.
"Master, if the old Go slave can barely fight with you, it is still unknown who will win. But this chess is strange and tight," Du Ji said while playing the chess: "It's not a strange way to walk, but it also makes people feel that they are not strong enough. The old slave's chess skills are not enough and he is not the master's opponent."
"Master, of course I know that your chess skills are not strong enough, but you can't find a suitable opponent?" Du Xian sighed, "Don't the two old guys who used to play chess with me now have no time to play chess? Thinking of Yang Bofang, after going to Chang'an, he will not be able to come back some days. As for that old guy Gongsun Wenda, there is another difficult task at home, and he is worried about it, and he has no time to play chess with me. Otherwise, with my chess skills, will you find a bad chess game player instead? Master, I'm afraid that it will become more and more odorous."
"Dad, but I'm worried that no one will play chess with you?" Du Zigui walked into the plum blossom pavilion and smiled when he heard this, "I happened to bring you a chess master. If Dad is not afraid of losing, he might as well give him a try."
"Oh?" Du Xian waved his hand to signal Du Ji to go down, looked at Liu Yi behind Du Zigui with interest, and said, "Zigui, what you are talking about is the guy behind you? His chess skills are higher than me?"
This is Du Xian, Liu Yi looked Du Xian up and down.
He has a short figure, a slightly fat face, a small eyes, but bright and energetic. He has three strokes of light beards under his jaw and floats down. At first glance, he really has the style of a gentle and elegant patriarch.
