1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 400 Half-day tour of the Garden

"Ok?"

She hummed in a questioning tone, and Luo Tao did not dare to whet her appetite any further.

"I think you are definitely the most beautiful woman in the 80s."

These words really penetrated into her heart.

Grinning all over his mouth, "I hate it, you are the one who praises your wife like that, it makes people laugh when you say it."

Luo Tao is also a man who depends on his wife's face. This is an opportunity to express himself well.

"You can't say enough about your beauty. Whoever likes to laugh, just laugh! To put it bluntly, they are just jealous of your beauty."

Luo Tao felt a little embarrassed when he told her, and he couldn't help but touch her face with his hand.

At the age of over 30, my skin is still as supple and tender as egg white, and there are no wrinkles on my face.

She looks like a young girl in her early twenties, less than 25 years old.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she felt very beautiful.

"..."

The next day.

Luo Tao responded to the appointment of Director Wang of the Pingjiang Cultural Relics Bureau and came to the Liuyuan Garden alone as agreed on the phone yesterday.

The Liuyuan Garden, located outside Changmen in Pingjiang, was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and was originally named "East Garden".

The sun and the moon travel, and time flies.

The Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Qing Dynasty, and the once prosperous "East Garden" also fell into desolation just like the Ming Dynasty.It was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that Liu Shu, a native of Wu County, rebuilt the "East Garden" on the original site.

Because there are many white pine, Wu bamboo and other plants planted in the garden, the bamboo has a cold color and clear blue water, so it was renamed "Hanbi Villa", commonly known as "Liu Garden".

During the Xianfeng period, due to wars, all the streets and alleys outside Changmen were completely destroyed.

Only Hanbi Villa survived and was later purchased by the father of Sheng Xuanhuai, the "Father of Chinese Industry".

Yu Yue, a great scholar of the Qing Dynasty, wrote "The Story of the Lingering Garden". Because the former owner's surname was Liu, the garden was commonly called Liu Garden. Following the example of Suiyuan, the name was changed to "Lingering Garden" by taking its pronunciation and changing the character.

Yu Yue called it "the crown of famous gardens in Wuxia".

Together with the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Summer Palace and the Chengde Summer Resort, it is known as the four major gardens in China.

Here I would like to mention Yu Yue, who was a famous scholar, writer, classics scholar, paleographer, and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty.

He is the great-grandfather of the red scholar Yu Pingbo, and the teacher of the madman Zhang Taiyan (Zhou Shuren’s teacher), Wu Changshuo and others in the Republic of China.

Luo Tao also met Mr. Yu Pingbo in a training class held by the crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

He was also the owner of "Quyuan" in Pingjiang.

He should be the first person in China’s history to call for the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine.

There are thousands of scenery in the Liuyuan Garden, and Luo Tao doesn't know which one will be waiting for Director Wang when he comes.

We had no choice but to wait for the arrogant Director Wang under a pavilion at the entrance to the park.

At nine o'clock.

He took his time and walked in with three or four people.

"May I ask if your honorable master is Mr. Luo Taoluo?"

Luo Tao noticed him when he entered the garden, and only when he met him did he realize that he had wronged him. He was really arrogant, not fake.

Luo Tao was a very polite young man and stood up.

He smiled and said: "Hello Director Wang, I am Luo Tao."

When Luo Tao shook hands with him and confirmed his identity, he said with emotion: "I have heard about Mr. Luo's name for a long time, and today I am able to see his face. It is really a blessing for me and Wang."

His big fat hand held Luo Tao's small hand, and Luo Tao could feel the excitement from the root of his tail.

One word to describe it: "It hurts!"

Such fat hands are not soft at all.

The two exchanged a few words and then entered the next process.

"Mr. Luo, let me introduce these people to you."

He first introduced from the young man closest to him, "This is my secretary, Xiao Liu." In turn: "Fang Yunlong, Director of the Lingering Garden Management Committee."

"Deputy Director Han Xiaoyun."

……

Luo Tao didn't know why Director Wang introduced these people to him?I don’t even know what he means by inviting me here today?
To talk about the batch of calligraphy and paintings for sale, you can find any hotel or teahouse.

Luo Tao also greeted them with the mentality of taking things as they come.

"I'm really sorry to keep Mr. Luo waiting here for so long. Director Wang said hello yesterday and asked us to do a good job in reception..."

The director of the Liuyuan Management Committee held Luo Tao's very sincere apology.

Luo Tao was a little confused by his appearance. After thinking for a while, he remembered that Director Wang said yesterday that he would tell the staff here when he arrived at Liuyuan.

Maybe it was because I was too busy last night and forgot about it.

Luo Tao smiled and said, "Ahem! This is my fault. It has nothing to do with you. It was my first time coming to Liuyuan and I just wanted to take a stroll. I really can't forgive you."

"What did Mr. Luo say? You like Liuyuan. We should be happy."

"Yep……"

Director Wang, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "Mr. Luo, how about I accompany you to visit the Liuyuan Garden?"

This was my first meeting with him, so there seemed to be no need to be so polite and enthusiastic.

Thinking about it, I can be considered Zhou Zheng in appearance, so this fat man must have some bad habits.

You have to be careful, and try to go to places with more people on your tour route.

"That's great. Let's get together!"

I really don't feel comfortable going with this big fat man, so I'd better call in more people.

Everyone entered the garden through the narrow entrance, and between the two high walls is a zigzag walkway more than 50 meters long.

Visit the Haopu Tower, pass the West Tower, and then go to the Pavilion of Good Sunny, Happy Rain and Quick Snow.

There were very few tourists along the way, which formed a very sharp contrast with the Humble Administrator's Garden.

Listening to their explanations and appreciating the visible defeat in the Liuyuan Garden.

The verandahs, houses, waterside pavilions and pavilions all have damage visible to the naked eye.

"Mr. Luo, this is a pavilion with happy weather, happy rain and quick snow.

The Jia Qing here is from Fan Cheng's great poem "Jia Qing has a new lesson" in the Song Dynasty.

Happy rain, according to the Spring and Autumn Gu Liang Biography, "Those who are happy with rain are also those who have aspirations for the people."

It's snowing quickly, Wang Xizhi wrote, "It's snowing quickly and your eyes are open".They all mean beneficial to farmland. "

"..."

Inside the pavilion are three poems and inscriptions written by modern people.

There are six nanmu gauze fans in the pavilion, the ceiling panels are engraved with patterns of apes, sheep, tigers, elephants, dogs and lions, and the skirt panels are engraved with orchid patterns. These are all relics of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Tao liked it very much and explained absentmindedly to Fang Yunlong, director of the Liuyuan Management Committee.

"Mr. Luo?"

"Oh, this pavilion was originally rebuilt. Do you know where the original site is?"

The pavilion of Jiaqing, Xiyu, Kuaisue is built on a mountain with a single eaves. It was rebuilt on the basis of the original Yiwu House of the Sheng family after liberation.

Fang Yunlong replied: "The original site was in the northwest of the backyard of Wufeng Immortal Pavilion. It is now a row of flower walls."

"Oh."

After leaving the Pavilion of Good Sunny, Happy Rain and Quick Snow, we also visited Yuancui Pavilion, Zhilue Pavilion and other scenic spots.

After it was over, several people went to the Liuyuan Management Committee, "Mr. Luo, after today's visit, I wonder what you think about the Liuyuan?"

"Hahaha, it deserves to be one of the four major gardens in China, with clever layout, clever architecture, and even better scenery."

After half a day of playing, Luo Tao guessed what the fat director was thinking.
