Chapter 176 The Bone Erosion Covenant

Pity.

While sighing secretly, Li Ci thought of another matter. She challenged Kai Lian to order Zhan Yifan to go forward and find out the details of the Gou family case.

Zhan Yifan got the order, and immediately took two followers and rode away. He didn't need to know why the young master suddenly became interested in the case of the Gou family. He is a soldier, and obeying orders is his bounden duty.

Watching their backs going away, Li Ci closed the curtains and ordered the carriage to move on.

……

……

Master Yuan is indeed a scholar of heaven and man, he has never seen a real dry landscape, and the drawings that Li Ci gave him are pitifully rough because of the painter's own poor skills.But the finished courtyard is so delicate that it is almost abnormal. Master Yuan does not need to follow the design drawings step by step. He has added his decades of experience and his understanding of dry mountains and rivers to each place. It has become an unimaginable wonderful world, and the skill of changing scenes has reached the extreme. Almost every step you take will get a new surprise, and the scenery you see in different seasons is different.

Li Ci watched the subtle changes with joy, Master Yuan's ability exceeded her expectations.

He is a genius who thought beyond the times.

They should sit down and have a good talk.

For a creative master like Master Yuan, asking him to repeat the same building structure [-] times is simply an insult, but Li Ci has already prepared a countermeasure.

At this moment, they were sitting on both sides of a square table facing the courtyard.

Sit upright.

In front of each other is a cup of cloud and mist tea, the silver hairs like white crane feathers are coagulated and lingering, and the white mist is lingering. Just smelling it, you will feel that the exhaustion in your body will be swept away.

"Madam has a heart, and she actually prepares this kind of good tea to treat my old man."

Yuan Shitou said indifferently, although he promised Li Ci to come out of the mountain to preside over the construction of low-rent housing, but he is a master after all, and he has his pride.

It's okay to preside over the project, but it's not okay to do everything by yourself.

However, the first batch of low-rent houses delivered determined Ye Chuan's first step into the imperial court. Whether it was for himself or for the Ye family, Li Ci had to tie Yuan Shitou tightly.

So he picked up the cloud and mist tea, breathed lightly, and said, "Mr. Yuan has worked hard."

"It's not hard work, and I can make a further step in the garden Zen in my lifetime. My old man enjoys it."

"What if we can go one step further?"

Li Ci directly threw out the bait.

"Go further?"

The old man was a little surprised, but of course he couldn't believe it.

The conception of Karesansui can be described as shocking, especially for Yuan Shi.It is like a spark, breaking through the barriers of knowledge and vision that the old people have not comprehended for decades, and taking it to a higher level.Yuan Shitou cultivated the way of heaven, entered the world first and then reborn, and now he entered the world again, and his cultivation has reached a new level. He is grateful to Li Ci, but he doesn't believe that this young lady can help him again. Break down a barrier.

If it wasn't for being polite, Yuan Shitou even felt that she was a bit overconfident.

Li Ci knew his contempt, but she was still sure enough to convince the stubborn old man.

"Not bad, let's go one step further."

Because of a gesture of waving, the servant brought the items that had been prepared a long time ago.

The things were carefully placed in front of the old man. Because of Li Ci's words, Yuan Shitou also paid some attention to these items, but after he finished reading them, he couldn't help laughing: there were more than a dozen of the most common wooden boxes in them. Shrunken household items.

"This is what Madam thinks I can be persuaded?"

"It's not possible, it's certain."

While speaking, Li Ci picked up a small wooden box.

"Masters of the Yuan Dynasty have learned from the past and the present. Of course, they know that the difference is a thousand miles away, and they also know that the second, the second, the three, and the three create all things in one life. The eight trigrams deduce the 64 hexagrams, and deduce all things in the world. It can be seen that even the most common objects, there are countless kinds. possible."

"Yes, but what does that have to do with your wooden box?"

"Master, have you ever thought about how many possibilities exist for the combination of plants, trees and stones?"

She said softly, taking out the contents of the box.

A bedding bed, two desks, a pair of incense burners... are all items that ordinary people can see, but with her actions, they seem so unusual.

Yuan Shitou was not a mediocre person, so his face became serious.

Gardens pay attention to moving and changing scenery, so every tree and every stone must be placed just right, and every change of seat will produce unpredictable results.

What Li Ci is showing at this moment is the truth that he has been in contact with but never delved into.

How many possibilities exist for the objects in the garden?

How many possibilities are there in the world?

Yuan Shitou's heart began to beat violently, and for a moment, he even felt that he had grasped a touch of the law of the movement of heaven and earth.

His breath became heavy.

But the excitement soon turned to frustration.

"Madam's thoughts are really extraordinary, but unfortunately...there are too many possibilities, even if you spend a lifetime, you can't grasp them."

"But as long as you try, you can always catch a part."

Li Ci was half coaxing and half serious, she placed the wooden boxes in a row in front of Yuan Shitou, and said: "After the beginning of spring, Shaohou will preside over the construction of low-rent housing. At that time, it will be a one-off Build more than [-] houses for scholars and officials who come to the capital to live in. Because the residents are all people who have read poetry and books, the decoration of the houses must not be slack. But the land granted by His Majesty is not much How to make this limited space not narrow or even reveal a comfortable and leisurely connotation, looking at Xie Dynasty, only Master Yuan can do it."

"Three hundred rooms?"

"Maybe it will end up being 360."

Li Ci's supplementary explanation made Yuan Shitou's face tremble, and he was also frightened by this number.

"360 rooms?"

"Two possibilities."

Li Ci revised the old man's statement.

"Sure enough, it's a huge problem, but it's very exciting."

After a little thought, Yuan Shitou already understood Li Ci's meaning, and there was even excitement on his face that only a young man would have.

But she still wanted to play hard to get and added: "Master really wants to—"

"Naturally, if I can comprehend all 360 possibilities, it will be of great benefit to my understanding of the mysteries of the world. Even if I can't comprehend the subtleties, low-rent housing itself is a major event that benefits the country and the people. I am honored to participate in it." , this is a karma. Even if you can’t get the Dao in this life, you can enjoy the blessings in the next life.”

"So, the master agreed?"

Although the result was expected, Li Ci was unexpectedly excited when Yuan Shitou really got the nod.

"Of course I agree, how can I not agree to such a good thing!"

The old man spoke heartily, and a rare blush appeared on his face.

"Madam is indeed my luck!"

"The old man won the prize."

Li Ci said modestly, at this time Zhan Yifan had also returned, and Hou was outside the door.Seeing him coming, Yuan Shitou was not surprised at all. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "The old man still has some things to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

"A Mei, Master Send Yuan."

"Yes."

Bai Yinmei and Li Ci were originally in the same mind, there was no need for special instructions, they had already got up, walked to Yuan Shitou's side, and helped him up modestly.However, Yuan Shitou looked at Bai Yinmei with a trace of pity and... confusion, perhaps because he had been kneeling for a long time, he was even in a trance, and almost lost his footing.Fortunately, Bai Yinmei's arm strength is unusual, so the master didn't fall to the ground.

As soon as Bai Yinmei and Master Yuan disappeared at the end of the corridor, Li Ci's face darkened, and he said to Zhan Yifan who was waiting at the door: "Have you found out everything?"

"I found out clearly that the Gou family deserved what they deserved, but it was the Lu family who made this happen."

"really."

Li Ci sneered, not surprised by this result.

"Is there anything unusual in Pingkangli recently?"

"There is a mother surnamed Duan who accidentally ate something wrong last night, she vomited and had diarrhea, and she is still hanging in the hospital."

Li Ci nodded, indicating that Zhan Yifan could go down.

All the developments were within her expectations. Mrs. Wei Guogong was a woman who did great things. She promised Duan Qinger to become a concubine of a good family, but she immediately cut off all of Duan Qinger's past.

Lu Mochou showed absolute sincerity in this matter: using the Lu family's relationship to accuse the Gou clan, even if someone who knew Duan Qing'er's relationship with the Gou clan would only treat Lu Mochou More respect.

Of course, it was probably the idea of ​​Mrs. Wei Guogong that the Lu family should come forward to punish the Gou family.

But that's good too, after burying the past, Duan Qing'er can really start anew.

Then he said to a nanny behind him: "You go to Jingu Garden now, report the Gou family's affairs to Mrs. Duan, and let her send a message to my cousin. This time, both the Lu family and the Liu family have shown absolute sincerity. Cousin, don't turn a good thing into a bad thing for the sake of a moment's face."

That nanny is a shrewd person, she immediately leaned over and said: "This old slave will do it now." Then she left the room.

At this time, Bai Yinmei also came back, sat down loudly as soon as he entered the room, and stuffed his mouth with fruits from the Western Regions desperately. Seeing his complexion, Li Ci backed away from the left and right, and asked with concern: "Who messed with you again?" gone?"

Bai Yinmei said casually: "When sending Yuan Shitou out just now, he said a few unpleasant words to me."

"What did he say?" Li Ci asked peacefully, even she didn't realize that there was viciousness in her tone.

But Bai Yinmei realized it. He was slightly taken aback, then smiled, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I'm too paranoid, and I insist on knowing that there will be no results. Things that can’t be reached end up with the end of body and soul.”

He said it lightly, but Li Ci's heart trembled when he heard it, Yuan Shitou, a wise man who had peeped to the threshold of the heaven, had vaguely seen A Mei's fate!
But even if it is destiny, it doesn't mean it will happen!

Li Ci was thinking in a panic. She tried to believe that there would be mistakes in the way of heaven, but felt that all her efforts would be in vain under the control of fate. The extreme contradiction drove her to hold up Ah Mei's almost unreal beautiful face. He promised with a single word: "No, definitely not!"

Because of these words, Bai Yinmei's brows and eyes instantly brightened. He looked at her, as if he wanted to engrave her face in his eyes, and said briskly and firmly: "I hope what he said is true. .In that case, even if my love doesn't come to fruition, the person I like will always remember me. I'm a very, very selfish person. I don't want anything for the person I like. So—"

"So what?"

"So if one day I die for you, you have to remember to eat my ashes, all of them. Then I can be with you forever..."

Bai Yinmei spoke softly, but what Li Ci had never seen before was the seriousness and madness in his eyes.
