Chapter 260 Yushu was born in Jiangdong
Today's Shen Garden is already the most prestigious villa building on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Jiankang City. The entire garden spans the Qinhuai River. The north side is mainly a resting place for gardens and pavilions, and the south side is where the famous Zhaixing Tower is located.

Zhaixinglou is a name commonly known by people in the capital, which is taken from Shen Zhezi's five-character quatrains.There is another name for this building, called Sisheng Chenglu Shijun Building, which enshrines Daoist Laozi and the last three generations of Tianshidao Patriarch Shijun.

This is also a workaround in desperation. After all, this building is too tall. If you stand at the top, you can overlook the whole city, and even Yuancheng can be seen from a distance.In order not to stir up those sensitive nerves in Taichung too much, Shen Zhezi could only add a layer of religious color to it.It is also because of the establishment of the building that Shen Zhezi, who does not believe in the Tao of Heavenly Masters, has become the highest-ranked Taoist official below the level of the Great Sacrifice Wine of Tianshi Taoism in Jiangdong.

Moreover, his deeds of refuting Zhu Fashen earlier were spread again, and he was regarded as a banner figure who guarded the orthodoxy and resisted Fanjiao by all the followers of Tianshi Taoism in Jiangdong.The momentum was the same for a while, so that Jiangdong and other factions of Tianshi Dao priests competed to make friends, and all kinds of ingenious Taoist titles were deducted from Shen Zhezi for free, hoping to gain his solidarity and support. Stand out from the crowd.

Shen Zhezi has always kept a respectful distance from Tianshi Dao, neither getting close nor suppressing, and they live in peace with each other.It is not easy for him to be ups and downs in this current situation, and he does not want to be contaminated by the complicated factional theories of Tianshi Dao.Although the high-rise building was built with the convenience of Tianshidao, it also ushered in a lot of popularity benefits for them, and they still did not delay or owe each other.Moreover, since the construction of the Zhaixing Building, he has already started to obliterate the religious color of this building, without overemphasizing it.

The entire Zhaixing Building is thirty feet high and consists of twelve floors. It adopts the well-developed pavilions and towers known to later generations by Shen Zhezi.Although with the spread of Buddhism nowadays, there are many pagoda buildings in the north and south, but the style still tends to be exotic in Tianzhu, and the pagodas are bloated and low.

Although the main body is taken from the towers of later generations, there are still differences in the subtleties. The flying eaves replaced the dense eaves, which is not too solemn, but rather lively, which is more suitable for the aesthetics of the time.There is a corridor viewing platform under the eaves, which can be overlooked by the wind.At the top of the eaves, there are copper pipes inside to guide the oil-filled lanterns. When the lanterns are lit at night, the whole high-rise building is shrouded in dim lights, like a fairy house surrounded by stars.

And in the middle part of the building, there are often colored silks hanging down, forming a huge pattern with bright colors, which can be seen almost in the whole city.At first, these pictures were landscape pictures and portraits of immortals.But recently, Shen Zhezi has gradually been used as a billboard for Nanyuan's new product. After testing the water a few times, as long as the picture is beautiful enough, the public does not have much dislike for it.

Although entrusted with the name of the Master of Heaven and Taoism, this building is located in the middle of the capital, and Taichung still issued a special edict, usually only six floors are allowed to be opened for people to visit.As for the upper six floors, if you want to open them, you must ask Taichung for instructions, and for this purpose, a Lang official is specially sent to take charge of the keys to the upper six floors.Shen Zhezi didn't pay much attention to this. Without binoculars, even if he climbed to the top floor, he wouldn't be able to see the court ladies taking a bath.

On the day when Zhaixing Building was built, it attracted much attention in the capital. Both scholars and ordinary people are used to visiting around the high wall of Shenyuan Garden. grand scene.As for the poems and essays about Zhaixinglou, hundreds of them have been accumulated in just two years, and the level may vary, but there are already more than a dozen famous ones that can be handed down.

In the evening of this day, when people walked past Zhaixing Building, they found that the atmosphere was a little different.Among them, the most eye-catching is naturally that the wind lamps on all six floors of the upstairs are lit up, which makes people very surprised. The wind lamps in the Zhaixing Building have become a scene in Chengdu. Every day, people have to look at how many floors are lit to judge the size of the banquet in the building.

Earlier, when the twelve floors were all lit up, it was His Majesty the current emperor who led a group of officials from Taichung to visit in person. That night, it seemed as if the Milky Way star burst into the world, and many pictures of fairies and spirit birds outside the building swayed in the night wind, as if the real Yaotai The grand gathering of immortals, the magnificent scene is still memorable.

But since then, this building is no longer fully illuminated, only two or three floors are illuminated in normal seasons.Among them, the number of lights was the most when Chenliu Ruan Fu went to the building at the beginning of the year. The five floors were all lit up that night. Although it was not as grand as when His Majesty came, it was still memorable.Today, the wind lamps on the sixth floor were all lit up, and everyone guessed, which celebrity with a good reputation in the north and south would come?

In front of Shen Yuan's majestic Yimen, a group of people were standing there, as if they were waiting for someone.Those with good deeds went up to have a look, and were even more surprised.

Among this group of people, the one standing most front is Qianjin Shen Lang who is currently ranked among the top three in the capital.Today's Shen Zhezi is wearing a plain white crane cloak with a broad collar, a gold and jade rhinoceros belt on his waist, and even the imperial tortoiseshell beam crown that has been dusted in the warehouse for a long time.

Although his appearance did not conform to the jade-white aesthetics of the people at that time, he had a healthy and handsome appearance.In recent years, due to rapid growth in height, his body shape has become a bit thin, and he looks like a weak celebrity.Behind him stand three charming and beautiful maids in skirts on the left and right, holding qin flutes, incense, and fans in their hands, forming a beautiful and eye-catching picture together.

"Beautiful Shen Lang!"

Passers-by passed by and saw this scene, and some people clapped their hands and shouted in admiration.

Hearing this praise, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile reservedly, feeling more and more aware of his growing fame, and finally got rid of the embarrassing situation where he had to hire sailors to be praised.

And behind Shen Zhezi, stood a group of young celebrities who often came and went in and out of Shen Garden, such as Hedong Weichong, Taiyuan Wang Meng, Chen Jun Yuan Qiao, Wu Jun Lu Kan, etc., all of them were the children of the northern and southern high schools.

Seeing many children from the high school of Duzhong standing in front of the courtyard and waiting to welcome them, the passers-by were even more curious about who they were welcoming.It's getting late now, and there are still many ordinary people lingering here at night, so they must see which big man these rich and powerful children are welcoming.

Some guards who patrolled the night passed by here, and they were shocked when they saw this scene, and even forgot to drive away the passers-by who violated the night ban.The servants of the Shen family came up in time to make arrangements, and the guards simply bypassed this place.

Nowadays, the folk customs are open and lively. Although there is a curfew order, it is not strictly enforced.After Zhongshu came to power, it was more strict to be close to the center of Taicheng, but a prosperous place like the banks of the Qinhuai River was already useless.If it is really strictly enforced, those Taichung officials will not have to go to work, and they will be too busy to go to the government office every day to take care of their forbidden children.

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly one person exclaimed, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a bullock cart approaching slowly on the street where pedestrians were becoming less and less.Everyone couldn't see what was going on inside the ox cart, but the swarming front and back were quite eye-catching, especially when they saw that the driver was Ren Qiu, the magistrate of Princess Danyang's mansion, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Du He sat on the bullock cart, but he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.Recently, he has received so much favor from the Shen family, his heart is hard to be at ease, he almost couldn't bear to walk to the door to pay homage, today the Shen family sent Ren Qiu to welcome him, which moved him even more.

Seeing such a huge welcoming battle in front of Shen Yuan's gate from a distance, Du He couldn't calm down, and sweat gushed out from his body.He couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Ren Qiu in the car: "Wan Qi Ren stopped the car and He Qin walked up to meet Shen Lang. Such a situation really makes me want to die of fear!"

Ren Qiu smiled in front of him and said, "My family mainly helps Du Jun to become famous. I feel a little uncomfortable. Du Jun should bear it for now."

"I am ashamed to receive it, I am ashamed to receive it..."

Du He just kept talking in the car, he didn't dare to sit down anymore, he just crouched behind Ren Qiu.When the bullock cart slowly stopped in front of Shen Yuan's gate, Du He couldn't help but rushed down, but Ren Qiu quickly held him down and asked him to get off the cart as a gesture of respectful support.

When Shen Zhezi saw this, he came up with his sleeves fluttering. When he got close, he saluted first, and then pointed at Du He who was already embarrassed and laughed: "I have admired the virtuous for a long time, like a thirst for traveling on a sandbank. After half a lifetime It's a pity that I don't see Du Clan and Muhou Zhiqing. Du Jun came to the south, but fortunately, at this moment, the breeze is blowing on me, so I can have no regrets!"

The corners of Du He's lips twitched at this moment, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak when he saw this young man who helped him and gave him great kindness when his life was in trouble.

He stood on the spot and took a few deep breaths. After all, he was from an aristocratic family, so he was not completely stage-frightened. He also saluted Shen Zhezi deeply, and then said solemnly: "The homeless wanderer in the north is worried about the world. Shen Lang is a virtuous man, Drive away the dust in my heart. Yushu was born in the east of the river, and the breeze lingers on its branches. Wandering under the gate of the courtyard, the heart of a scholar can be free from worries."

Shen Zhezi was also happy when he heard the words, he took a step forward and took Du He's wrist, then turned to face the crowd, and said with a smile: "I'm here to introduce you good friends for Du Jun, today Zhilan returns to Qinggu, and the fragrance is gathered here, it can be said to be a pleasure !"

Seeing Shen Zhezi treating Du He with such courtesy before the court, no matter what they thought in their hearts, it was not easy to disobey him at the moment, and they all came forward to salute. The inheritance of the legacy, or the aftertaste of praising Duhou Qingyi.

Surrounded by the crowd and warmly welcomed, Du He felt rather complicated in his heart, as if an illegitimate son of a noble family finally got his legal status today. The fate of being cold-eyed earlier is almost like a cloud and mud!
Although the atmosphere in front of the courtyard was lively, but in the eyes of passers-by who were watching, they were a little unclear. They couldn't think of the great origin of this young man who was treated so politely by Shen Lang.Although the Jingzhao Du family is a prominent family in the north, their influence in Jiangdong is too small, unlike Wang and Ge Qiaomen who crossed the river earlier, they are not as well-known as soon as they are mentioned.

However, a servant from the Shen family came to explain their doubts and talked about the glorious history of the Jingzhao Du clan. When it came to the Du Yu and Du Wuku who commanded the army to destroy Wu, everyone finally felt that they were seated. Even if someone said angrily : "Shen Lang is a handsome man in Jiangdong, how can he be with the descendants of the bandits who have harmed my hometown!"

Then someone patiently explained: "This son's family was very prominent in the early days. He did too much evil and eventually affected his heirs. Now he has to be fostered under our Wu people's family to beg for food! Shen Kuaiji is called Jiangdong Arsenal, and he will lead my Jiangdong children to ravage him in the future." Homeland is not a bad idea!"

No matter what the senses are, at least people already know that there is such a No. [-] character again.
