The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Bai Gui and Bai Xiongqi were eating breakfast.

The two of them got up the earliest, so they were the only ones at the breakfast table at this time.

Bai Gui always gets up early to practice martial arts, while Bai Xiong needs to "go to court" when he gets up. He has to get up at five o'clock in the morning. Although it is not the time of Xun Qing Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty is much more humane, but it is normal for officials to get up earlier than chickens. of.

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiuzhu came together.

"Miwa, why don't you sleep a little longer."

Mrs. Bai expressed concern.

"He, like me, is a restless person. At first, my brother said that he studied hard every day, with the lights on at three o'clock and the chicken on the fifth o'clock. Once this person gets used to getting up early, it's hard to change."

Bai Xiongqi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, picked up the windbreaker on the seat, and replied.

As he spoke, he waved to the doorman, who ran to inform the driver that there was the sound of the Ford car starting in the car hall. At that time, the car design was not as advanced as that of later generations, and the noise reduction was not good, and the gasoline engine made a roar.

From time to time, cars come out of the side door where the car hall is.

The sedan hall is a place where soft sedan chairs were specially placed among wealthy families in the old days.

"Brother Xiongqi is joking. I get up early because of my martial arts training. I have to persevere every day..."

Bai Gui took over the conversation after seeing Bai Xiongqi leaving in a hurry.

"Practice martial arts? I forgot that Mr. Bai is a man of both civil and military skills. Yun Wen Yun Wu..."

Mrs. Bai nodded.

As she said that, she thought of something again, "Mr. Bai, you haven't forgotten what happened last night. The Jin Mansion invited us to go to the Qingyi Garden in Xizhimen to escape the summer heat and have some fun. Those of you who are young can go to Xizhimen." Hunting in the suburbs..."

Bai Gui has just returned from studying in Japan. As the host, he always has to entertain.

Jinfu and Baifu have a long history.

In addition, there are no entertainment activities at this time, and I can't sit still at home. I will develop some hobbies, regularly go to the seven major theaters to watch plays, or go to the garden, or organize poetry gatherings and other elegant activities...

Going to Qingyi Garden to escape the summer heat and play is a normal social activity.

"Of course I remember what happened last night, madam, don't worry."

Bai Gui smiled.

He would not deliberately pretend to be noble. He felt that going to the garden with a group of people like Mrs. Bai would be a disgrace to his reputation. I have just returned to China, and I cannot refuse this kind of banquet. If you refuse, others will not invite you again next time...

After getting along for a long time, you can refuse unnecessary banquets.

Besides, he is relatively free now, so it doesn't matter if he goes.

"We women are carriage drivers, but you men have to go there on horseback. We have two good horses in the house. Mr. Bai, you can pick one up later."

Mrs. Bai said.

Since Bai Gui practices literature and martial arts, he must also practice martial arts, one of the six Confucian arts.

Although riding is explained as the ability to drive a carriage, in fact, when teaching riding, the technique of riding a horse is also taught. If you don't even know how to ride a horse, how can you really control a carriage well.

…

Qingyi Garden is outside Xizhimen.

It is said that when the garden was built, the navy's expenses were misappropriated. In the former Qing Dynasty, this garden was only for the enjoyment of the royal family and nobles. However, now that the autocracy has been abolished and Mr. De is welcomed, the garden is also open to the public.

It is the beginning of summer, when flowers are in full bloom and everything is luxuriant.

When I just walked out of Xizhimen, a few hundred steps closer to Qingyi Garden, I saw the green mountains of Wanshou Mountain in the distance, the sparkling waves of Dian Lake, reflecting the golden sunlight...

"This road leads to the eight great places. The ancients praised: The three mountains are like a gorgeous house, the eight temples are like the antiques in the house, and the twelve scenes are like the gardens outside the house..."

Bai Gui rides a tall white horse.

Next to it is the White Mansion's carriage, which is not conspicuous among a group of people.

At the carriage window, Bai Xiuzhu opened the curtain and introduced Bai Gui.

Temple refers specifically to Buddhist temples.

So the eight temples refer to the eight Buddhist temples among the three mountains. The three mountains are the remnants of the Xishan Mountains, namely Cuiwei Mountain, Hutou Mountain and Lushi Mountain. valley

"Among these eight temples, there is a Buddhist temple called Chang'an Temple..."

"If it's not too late, we can go take a look."

Bai Xiuzhu said again.

She knew that Bai Gui was from Chang'an.

Bai Gui nodded.

From Xizhimen, there are two roads, one leads to Xiangshan and the other leads to Badachu. At this time, it was sunny and windy, and the two continents were busy with traffic. There were tourists coming and going, including rare cars and popular mules and pack horses.

Halfway through, it was very hot and rustic, and it was inevitable that I could smell some excrement and urine, which ruined the scenery.

After a while, we arrived at Qingyi Garden.

Jinfu is relatively powerful and owns Nanhu Island in Dian Lake.

There are a total of three small islands in Dian Lake, namely Nanhu Island, Tuancheng Island and Zaojiantang Island, which are metaphors for the three mountains on the sea of ​​Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. The whole structure is modeled after Hangzhou West Lake and Jiangnan gardens.

"This is the seventh young master of the Jin family, Jin Yanxi."

Today, Wang Yufen introduced another young master in the Jin family to Bai Gui, who is also the youngest young master, Jin Yanxi.

There are four young masters in Jinfulong, namely Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, Jin Pengzhen and Jin Yanxi.

"I've met brother Meihe."

Jin Yanxi is younger, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is carefree. He has always had a crush on Bai Xiuzhu, but he was thinking about the engagement and was under strict supervision at home, so he did not show his feelings like Xia Wangyi.

He was not at home last night, and was very surprised to hear that Bai Xiuzhu's fiancé Bai Gui had returned to China.

But when I saw it today, I felt a chill in my heart.

"Brother Yanxi."

Bai Gui nodded politely and didn't pay much attention.

For example, Jin Pengzhen, the third young master of the Jin family, is Wang Yufen's husband, so he needs to show his closeness. However, the eldest and second young masters of the Jin family are older and have a certain status in the Jin family, and they also need to deal with them.

But... someone like Jin Yanxi is not very mature. It is obviously difficult to talk to him, so it is inconvenient to pay much attention to him.

Nanhu Island is an artificial island. Although it is hot in summer, it is cool in the pavilion in the pool. This kind of coolness is far cooler and more comfortable than fanning with ice cubes at home.

Soon, the group boarded the Jingming Tower, which was modeled after the Yueyang Tower.

The building is several feet high and overlooks the wilderness.

"You men, I guess you don't want to listen to our women's talk. Now that the sun is right, you come here on horseback carrying bows and arrows..."

"We women are enjoying the cool weather here, and you guys can go hunting."

Several ladies suggested.

Qingyi Garden is a large-scale royal garden with a length of 20 kilometers from Qinghua Garden to Xiangshan Mountain, which can be used for horseback riding and hunting.

A few men can do anything for themselves.

They were caught in a group of women, and their hearts were filled with boredom, but they couldn't escape. There was no joy in hunting. At this time, these older ladies spoke, it was not considered a breach of etiquette, so they each took their own bows and walked to the horse-hitting post.

Jingming was upstairs, after a few men left.

The ladies looked at the figures of several people riding horses downstairs, their backs getting farther and farther away, heading straight towards Fragrant Mountain.

"I heard in the newspaper that Bai Mei and Xi Wen practiced martial arts. Martial arts are also worthy of praise in this world. This time we go hunting, we will definitely gain a lot. Sister Xiuzhu, you are in great luck..."

The eldest mistress Peifang joked.

"Enjoying happiness?"

Bai Xiuzhu raised her eyes and was slightly startled, not knowing why.

Several married ladies chuckled.

Once a woman gets married, she will tell jokes even more powerfully than men, without even the slightest sense of shame.

However, they were just joking but did not explain the reason for this.
