Chapter 44 The Outer House

Chai Jin and Su Yan left the chess building one after another, and the atmosphere in the chess room became relaxed again. Sui Yi began to yell at finding a place to enjoy it, which was also his usual style and he couldn't stay idle.

When Liu Yu heard that he was going to have fun, he felt tired. He always had no new ideas when he came and went, so he asked, "Don't you have to go back to the yamen to work as a servant?"

"Today, Brother Liu, you are back safely. Brother Li and I can still accompany you without taking a day off?"

Sui Yi said lightly, making it clear that he made an excuse to "absent from work". The prefect of Jingzhao is now vacant, and Sui Yi has the final say in the yamen. As long as there is no important official documents, he will not be able to control others. The same is true for the Yunanmen Defense Department Office where Li Mi is located.

"Okay, but explain in advance." Liu Yu said with a leisurely expression. "I just returned to Chang'an and didn't go to places where I had to move my legs, such as going to spring and visiting temple fairs. Besides, there are also places where women have more than men...

Liu Yu clearly asked Sui Yi to have a problem. After hearing what he didn't go, Sui Yi said bitterly: "Just go to my brother Liu to see the garden, and you will also give you the land deed."

Liu Yu thought about it and found that this was a good place, a waste of time. It would be a pity not to go and see the garden.

"It's okay to go, you have to bring two people with you first."

The "two people" Liu Yu mentioned are the Han sisters. I guess they had almost done some sleep supplements. I was worried about him for a few days and agreed to take them out for a while.

When he saw the Han sisters wearing handsome men's outfits and walking out of the mansion under Cai Yingnu's escort, Sui Yi walked up to him carelessly and said, "Please pay tribute to your two sisters-in-law."

After knowing each other for so long, Sui Yi never greeted the Han sisters. Perhaps because he became an official, he had the confidence to say "sister-in-law" when he said hello. The Han sisters blushed and hid behind Liu Yu.

"Put the rules." Liu Yu's tone was not good, and Li Mi and Hu Xuan behind Sui Yi smiled and did not dare to go forward to make trouble again.

The garden is in the outer city, and the inner city cannot ride horses, but if there is a military position, Lu Chu'er and two guards are on horseback, so Cai Yingnu is not so lucky. She needs to drive the car for Liu Yu and the Han sisters, while Sui Yi and the other two got into another carriage, and only one coachman was hired for the two carriages.

"I'd known to be in the sedan chair."

After getting off the carriage, Sui Yi complained a little. As a guide, he took Liu Yu to the door of the garden.

The garden is on a mound in the southern outer city of Chang'an, very close to Daci'en Temple, and the height of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is right in front of you. When building a garden in a scenic spot, Liu Yu had to admire Sui Yi's good vision. But these days, wealthy families only like to go to lively places. The price of such a good garden is not expensive, so it is really a good place to find a quiet place.

The garden has mountains and waters. Liu Yu even thought that Sui Yi was a garden built by the imitation of the Dacien Temple. Although the specifications were not as good as the mountains and waters, there were lotus ponds, which were very elegant and quiet. If you build a little more pavilions and towers, it would be similar to the gardens in Jiangnan.

A loft is three stories high and is actually being built. Liu Yu is a little doubtful whether the wooden beams and pillars can support the weight of the four-story building. If it collapses, it will be ruined. However, Sui Yi said that all the people invited were the best architects, and the "construction quality" was definitely not bad, so Liu Yu felt relieved.

The group climbed up to the third floor of the building and looked far away. Half of the outer city of Chang'an City was in sight, especially the surrounding trees were lush and the summer was hot. This place could be said to be a summer retreat.

"A gentleman must write a poem to climb high. Brother Liu is not planning to write a poem?" Sui Yi saw Liu Yu feel relaxed and couldn't help but exercising.

Liu Yu turned to the side and pointed at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda not far away and said, "It's such a high place next to me. Tell me that I'm going to climb the high place now. Should I do it or wait until I climb that place."

Dacien Temple is a royal temple, and the Dashun Dynasty also advocates Buddhism. Most sacrificial activities are held in the temple. On weekdays, the Buddhist temple is open, but there are many Buddhist scriptures in the Big Wild Pagoda. Unless it is a monk or a consent from the emperor, it is not allowed to enter.

"If you want to go in, unless it is Yan Pagoda, I think there will be no chance in this life!"

The "Yan Pagoda" mentioned by Sui Yi refers to the scholars who passed the palace examination in each session. Their names on the tower are also a tradition that began in the previous dynasty and represent the highest honor of students. Seeing that the palace examination has passed, the new Jinshi will be able to climb to the commanding heights of Chang'an City and take a look at Chang'an City.

The Han sisters were very happy when they came to the garden. They walked around and watched, and Cai Yingnu was in a row behind her. Sui Yi suddenly followed the opportunity and asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu, are you planning to raise... the two Han girls here?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just taking them over here today."

Sui Yi was quite surprised: "Then how many singing and dancing girls are you going to raise here?"

Liu Yu looked at Sui Yi and said, "Why do I have to raise a singing and dancing girl here?"

"Isn't it a pity for you to keep a concubine or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or a singer or dancer, "Why not take a look at these, the song and dance floor presented them to Jingzhao Mansion this year. There is a choice from them. If you like it... I will redeem it for you to raise it."

Liu Yu took the large stack of portraits, and the woman on it can only be described as "terrible". It is not that the woman he painted is ugly, but the painting techniques are very old, and it follows the ancient beauty guidelines of a small nose, small eyes, and small mouth. This set of facial features looks pretty good, but when it comes to a face, it seems that facial features are shrinking.

"I appreciate your kindness. As for these paintings... let's keep them for yourself to appreciate them slowly." Liu Yu handed the painting back to Sui Yi.

Hu Xuan and Li Mi took it over and looked at it, but they all said that the woman on it was beautiful. This is also a fault for Liu Yu being used to seeing photos. Even if it is not a photo, he is used to sketching, and he cannot mention the nature of this kind of "abstract painting".

"Brother Liu, you're content with the painting like this. Do you think everyone is like you, and the paintings are like real people. It's not easy to find a painter like this in Chang'an City." Sui Yi complained, and suddenly had an idea, "Why would I take you to the Song and Dance House to take a look and choose it yourself?"

Liu Yu continued to look around and refused directly: "I won't go. I said I won't go to places where there are more women than men today."

“There are not many women there…”

Sui Yi was just talking, when the Han sisters suddenly came over, and Han Xiaoting asked, "Young master, are you going to the Song and Dance House? I... my sister and I are going to go too."

"You... are going to go too?" Liu Yu didn't expect them to come over and get involved, "What are you going to do?"

Han Xiaoyi was afraid that his sister would not be able to explain clearly, so he walked up to him and said, "Young Master, that's the case. My sister's singing and dancing teacher and my grandfather invited me from the singing and dancing workshop. We... want to meet the teacher. I miss you a little after a long time."

Liu Yu was a little jealous. Although he knew that the "sir" they called were mostly women, if they were really men... Liu Yu thought that he would have to punch him and beat him up first. Then he thought about it but it wouldn't work. He had to beat him behind his back so that the Han sisters wouldn't say he was stingy.

"Then... then go to the Song and Dance House." Liu Yu's voice also changed, as if he was going to find fault.
