The Dang Manor is naturally a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and comfortable environment. The life of Dang Marquis is very nourishing. He drinks fine wine, drinks from mountain springs, enjoys delicious food, occasionally gets mad and can hold the sky. When going hunting in Huangdi, more than half of Yangdi's territory is covered with mountains and hills, and the remaining mountains of Funiu Mountain are right on the side, which is very convenient. stumble
The Dang family manor occupies a very large area, covering hundreds of acres. Dang Jin originally spent a lot of money to invite Zhang Yu, a famous architect from the capital, to help with the design.
Zhang Yu is not easy to invite. He was a good friend of the late Duke of Luan, Murong Yanchao. He was the best architect among the many talented people raised by Murong Yanchao. Zhang Yu was the main designer of the construction of Kaifeng New City. , and later became a guest of Liu Yun, who was still the Duke of Qi. Liu Yun, who had wide interests, even treated him as a teacher and learned architectural aesthetics from him.
Zhang Yu initially refused the party's invitation. He was not from the same group. Although he was jokingly called a "carpenter" by some people, Zhang Yu himself was a knowledgeable scholar with extensive knowledge, and he was especially fond of studying. As for the party members, Qiu Ba was a mediocre man. The key was that he often felt complacent about being illiterate and was proud of being tired of learning.
Of course, Dang Jin couldn't force Zhang Yu. After all, the other party's backstage was really tough and he couldn't force it. However, Dang Jin was thick-skinned enough, so he just visited Zhang Yu every day. The more he refused, the more insistent he became. Zhang Yu was so annoyed that he simply asked Qi Gong Liu Yun to discuss the matter, and Zhang Yu reluctantly agreed.
He also made a request, and asked Dang Jin to read the "Thousand-Character Classic" without gold and silver treasures. To this, Dang Jin fully agreed. However, after more than ten years, he still failed to fulfill this agreement.
After designing by Zhang Yu, employing thousands of people, spending huge sums of money, and taking more than a year, the current Dangjia Manor has just been completed. Dang Jin also had a special hobby. Although he often said words that despised literati, he also liked to be arty and made many jokes.
After the manor was completed, he found some knowledgeable people to help him name it, but none of them satisfied Dang Jin. So Dang Jin decided to do it himself. At first, he thought Yangzhai belonged to ancient Yuzhou, so he wanted to call it "Yu Garden". stumble
As soon as this idea was proposed, it was immediately discouraged for the simple reason that although the manor was magnificent, it could not bear the name. Although Dang Jin was dissatisfied, he still recognized it and wanted to call it "Yingyuan" because Yingshui was crossing the border. However, he was dissuaded for the same reason.
So Lord Dang got angry and decided to call it "Lanyuan", and no one was allowed to object this time. The water system in Yangzhai is developed. In addition to the main stream Yingshui, there are dozens of large and small water veins. The Lan River is one of the larger ones, more than 300 miles long. Dang Jin is also in the Lan River. swimming, hence the name of the estate is taken from this water.
In the Orchid Garden, there are dozens of large and small buildings, more than 200 houses, with high earth walls and surrounded by green water. It is more suitable to call it a small castle. Among them, the most famous ones are more than a dozen large warehouses, which store a large amount of money, grain, cloth and silk.
No one knows exactly how much wealth there is, but there are many rumors about various grains, some say 200,000 dan, 300,000 dan, and of course there are also exaggerated millions of dan...
In the howling winter wind, the famous Orchid Garden welcomed a group of guests, a group of guests who did not look so friendly. Pan You, the chief envoy of Gyeonggi Province, led his subordinates and officials to visit with great fanfare.
Pan You's accompanying team was not small in size. There were more than 200 officials and servants, and there were many flags. The neighing of the strong horses seemed low and suppressed in the cold wind.
Pan You rode on his own horse and stood in front of the gate of Orchid Garden. He looked at the spectacular manor with a serious expression. Compared with his aura, the men and horses he led seemed to be hardly intimidating. In addition, Pan You seriously suspected that the party was overstepping the rules when it built this luxurious manor...
While he was pondering, the door of the Orchid Garden opened wide, and a group of people and horses filed out and lined up in front. The Tongdaosi team was in a confrontation situation. Although there were not many people, they were all tall and unruly, with a vague sense of tit-for-tat.
Accompanied by several nephews, Marquis Dang walked out slowly, looking calm and calm... Dang was indeed uneasy about his health. After all, he was nearly sixty years old, and his body had grown strong over the years. It was not as good as before. Zhao Kuangyin died of illness before, and he cried a lot, which also hurt his body and mind.
However, in front of Pan You, he did not show any signs of twilight. Under the protection of everyone, Dang Jin squinted at the scene outside the manor with a leering attitude. Finally, Dang Jin's eyes fell on Pan You, who was sitting on the horse. He sneered twice: "Pan Envoy came to visit, and you didn't welcome him from afar! Such a big fight is so fierce. , what do you mean?"
Pan You did not dismount, he also looked at Dang Jin, slightly cupped his hands, and said calmly: "I heard that Marquis Dang is ill, and I am here to visit you!"
Hearing this, Dang Jin chuckled and said, "I am indeed ill. Pan Shijun put up a battle array. Could it be that he wanted to scare away my illness?
It's a pity that I have a problem. When I hear the sound of horse hooves and see the flag waving, I feel more energetic! I broke out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This little battle can't scare anyone. These snakes and rats under your Gyeonggi Province Department are not in my eyes. These old soldiers under me can wait with you. Practice your hands! "
After Dang Jin finished speaking, the followers of the Dang family moved upon hearing the sound. They all clenched their weapons and looked ready to make a move. Except for a small number of young men, these retinues were mostly old men in their forties or fifties, and many had gray beards. They were obviously old brothers who had followed the party through life and death, but at this time, they showed no fear or look in their eyes. Zhongdu was a little arrogant and disdainful, and he was obviously a proud warrior. The one on the horse even made a charging gesture. stumble
Seeing this reaction, the officers of the Gyeonggi Provincial Department became nervous, and they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. As for the officials who followed Pan You, their expressions changed drastically, they were very surprised, and they all looked worried. This won't start a fight.
The only person with an unchanging expression was Pan You. He sat silently on the horse and looked at Dang Jin. There was no fear in his eyes, and there was even a hint of expectation.
The strong horse snorted hot breath and slapped its hooves and feet constantly on the ground, as if it just wanted to vent the restlessness that filled the cold wind. However, after observing Pan You for a long time, he suddenly burst out laughing and said jokingly: "Is Pan You expecting to give an order from me to clash with Taoist soldiers?"
Dang Jin's behavior immediately made Pan You frown. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Dang Jin chuckle: "I am not an old fool!"
Pointing at the party servants around him, he said in a relaxed tone: "I, these old brothers, are only here to guard the house and guard against Xiaoxiao. We dare not fight against the government. I have been loyal to the country all my life and have gone through life and death. This is no way to fight against the imperial court." You won’t be able to do things like that!”
"Isn't it just land? Not to mention it is measured clearly and taxes are paid according to the regulations. If your majesty wants it, you can just donate it all to the country. What's the point?" Dang Jin looked at Pan You with contempt and said with a sneer: "That's right. The dignified Ambassador Pan is obedient. If you are asked to come, you will come..."
When Dang Jin said these words, Pan You's face could no longer be tense. His ugly face was full of shame and anger. He finally saw that Dang Jin's previous gesture was just to give someone a try. He, Pan You, is just embarrassed. stumble
