Chapter 53: Visiting the High Mansion(1/2)

The person Pei Min thought of was Pei Xingjian's wife, Mrs. Kudi, Mrs. Huayang.

Kudi is not only Pei Xingjian's wife, but this Hu girl from the Western Regions has such extraordinary talent and is highly valued by Wu Zetian at that time and is named Yuzheng.

The main responsibility of the Yuzheng is to draft edicts and participate in decision-making, which is equivalent to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and his status is on par with Shangguan Wan'er.

Wu Zetian was the world's dominant power with his political skills. Kudi studied with him for so long, not to mention too much, as long as he had a three or four-cost thing, it would be enough to help him a lot.

He was not in a hurry to find Kudi. After learning the various inside stories about Qinglong, Pei Min became more cautious in his actions.

Before there is no way to deal with it, it is best not to give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it and put himself invincible.

In the next two days, Pei Min either went to the pear garden to enjoy singing and dancing.

Until the third day, Pei Min went to Gao Lishi's mansion to make an appointment.

Gao Lishi lives in Xingningfang, Chang'an.

Xingning Fang is also called Zhuwangfang. Almost all the royal relatives lived here. It was the place where the princes lived in concentrated areas at that time. Sixteen princes lived in the yard, also known as the Sixteen Kings House.

Gao Lishi lives in Xingningfang and also shows that his status is indeed extraordinary.

Pei Min came to the long street of Gao Lishi's mansion, and the deserted street surprised Pei Min quite.

Pei Min has also heard a lot about Gao Lishi's "Legend".

Gao Lishi lives in the palace almost 360 days a year, but only a few days can return home.

As soon as Gao Lishi returned to his house to rest, all the big and small figures in the officialdom would be as good as cats that smelled the fishy smell and seized the rare opportunity to show their attention, and the entire street would be full of traffic.

A year ago, Gao Lishi built a big bell to invite the ministers and ministers. He stipulated that he would have to pay a gift of 100,000 yuan once to hit the bell. There were as many as twenty people who flattered him, and even ten people who were few.

One party can make tens of millions of dollars...

I thought I could see the crowded scene, but I didn’t expect that there was no one on the whole street.

Not to mention the visitors, even the gift sender disappeared.

Pei Min came to the mansion with a strange heart and asked someone to knock on the door and present a letter of worship.

The door of the mansion was wide open, and it was not the concierge who walked up to him but Gao Lishi.

"Eunuch Gao!"

Pei Min suddenly realized in her heart and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted her.

Gao Lishi came out to greet him: "The Duke of the State is here to visit, and the glory is shining, please come in."

Pei Min saw Gao Lishi's mansion was much more luxurious and tall than the surrounding royal residences. He laughed and said, "The eunuch is not Penghu. I heard that there is a camellia garden in Gao Mansion, which contains all the camellia varieties in the world. It is so beautiful that you can enjoy it today."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "That's a coincidence. Someone asked the Duke to reminisce about the past in the tea garden, so that you can appreciate new varieties. While planting camellia, some one dares to say that no one in the world today can compare to my wife."

Speaking of his wife, Gao Lishi looked proud.

Pei Min was also quite interested. You should know that in history, Gao Lishi's wife was described as "Guoshu".

"The Poem·Bifeng·Jing Nu" writes: "The quiet girl is her beauty."

Since ancient times, "Shu" means beauty, and Guoshu almost means national flower.

Pei Min also wanted to know what kind of woman she was who could be respected as a national flower.

Gao Lishi led Pei Min to walk in the mansion.

Pei Min discovered that the area of ​​Gao Lishi's mansion covers no less than that of his Pei Mansion, and the furnishings in the inner room are even more than that of him.

He is indeed a rich man!

Pei Min sighed in her heart.

In fact, Pei Min doesn't care about these things usually. His real assets are only better than Gao Lishi, and even better.

The Taoshi, which is famous all over the world, was monopolized by him, and he could be said to have gained a gold squad every day.

Before arriving at the tea garden, Pei Min had already smelled the unique fragrance of camellia.

Walking more than ten feet ahead, I arrived at Gaofu Tea Garden.

When you see a hill, you will see a mountain with lots of camellias all over the hills, competing for beauty.

Pei Min doesn't understand camellia, but she still uses her basic aesthetic vision.

Camellia is known for its wide variety, and the camellia in this tea garden covers all kinds, with different types and colors, and there are as many as dozens at a glance.

They intersperse each other, but do not give people a complicated feeling, just like a scroll, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"How?" Gao Lishi said complacently.

"It's so spectacular!" Pei Min said truthfully: "I don't understand camellia, but I can also feel the intention of the owner here."

This villa uses camellia to embellish the sea of ​​flowers, which not only requires a lot of financial and material resources. Without the careful care of the owner, this kind of wonder cannot be achieved.

Gao Lishi said: "You are the first outsider to set foot here in this tea garden."

Pei Min hurriedly said, "For the blessing of three lives, my wife is also very fond of flowers and plants. I wonder if she can let her see the charm in the future."

Gao Lishi agreed to the promise, not only that, but even said: "The gate of Gao's mansion will always be opened for the Duke of the Kingdom. Even if one is not in the palace, the Duke of the Kingdom can lead his wife to come."

Pei Min hurriedly thanked him, but inexplicably strange in his heart, thinking to himself: "Is this the truth or the polite word? It doesn't sound like a polite word. Even if you have family affairs, you still ask me to come, so you won't be afraid of a little green on your head."

Following the trail and walking up the flowers, Pei Min found that the land on the entire hill was a little strange.

Gao Lishi said: "Every grain of mud and soil is transported from Cangshan and Erhai Lake. There is the hometown of camellia. The soil there is the most suitable for the cultivation of camellia."

Pei Min was completely convinced.

Li Longji sent lychees thousands of miles to Yang Yuhuan.

For his wife, Lu, Gao Lishi actually sent soil thousands of miles to him, and there were quite a lot of them.

After going deep into the camellia bushes, Pei Min, led by Gao Lishi, approached the Pavilion in the center of the bushes.

There was a woman in the center of Tingyuan who was working up and down, fiddling with the stove and burning boiling water.

Pei Min looked stunned. The woman looked diagonally facing him and could only see the side, but only looking at the side, it had already shown that look no less than that of a cute Chen.

The other party's identity is about to emerge.

Come nearby.

The woman also found them and came forward.

When Pei Min saw the woman's face, she couldn't help but exclaim the word "Guoshu". She deserved it.

The woman has a particularly delicate and pretty face, her eyes are bright and energetic, her eyebrows and nose are clever, and her cheeks are slightly dimpled. She is really beautiful and incompetent.

The beauty of the Lü family is different from Jiao Chen. He is proficient in the six literary arts, like a lotus in the water, has the temperament of a lady of a noble family, and is not as quiet and wise as Gongsun You, like osmanthus orchid, but he has a feeling of a jasper in a small family, beautiful but not charming, clear but not cold, as if it was an elf bred by this camellia, with unlimited vitality.

Gao Lishi first introduced: "This is my wife, Mrs. Lu, this is your benefactor, Duke Pei!"

Pei Min was surprised and didn't know how to speak.

When Lu Shi Yingying bowed, a few rays of redness floated on her face, and she said softly: "I have met my benefactor! You are not surprised by your kindness. You are just and heroes, and you will save countless people. You should not remember the small things in your heart. But little things are recreated with the following, and you dare not forget them."

It turned out that the Lu family went to Beijing to take the imperial examination with their father Lu Xuan.

The real explanation for the beauty of the beauty is that the beauty of the beauty of the beauty of the beauty of the beauty.

Lu's family is innocent, but her appearance is the root of all disasters. Because she is in her prime, she is forced to marry officials in the capital.

Lu Xuanwu was imprisoned for false accusation, and Lu had no way to sue. It happened that Pei Min had an anonymous report system.

Lu mustered up the courage to impeach the official.

Finally, Lu Xuanwu's innocence was restored, and the Lu family also survived the crisis.

When Pei Min heard the matter mentioning Lü's case, he vaguely remembered something, but at that time he was dealing with Yang Ju's traitoring case, and did not take responsibility for it himself, but let his subordinates take over the case.

"I see!"

Pei Min smiled and said, "It is a matter of duty to be in his position and to be a benefactor."

Gao Lishi invited Pei Min to take the seat.

Mrs. Lu served them tea.

Pei Min was a little restrained.

Gao Lishi said: "The Duke of the State is not like this. The Lü family is not a lady. He doesn't like being served by others. He does everything by himself. In this entire camellia garden, there are more than 2,000 camellia plants, each planted by Lu family and taken care of by himself. I felt sorry for her and asked her to ask some servants to help take care of her. But she disliked her servants who knew nothing and were clumsy."

His tone was a little arrogant, but his words seemed a little bit aloof, and he felt respectful.

Pei Min looked at the entire camellia garden from the left and right, and said sincerely: "I admire you! Mrs. Gao does not seek wealth and enjoyment, but is entertaining with hard work. It is exciting and impressive."

Lu said hurriedly: "Nu Nu can't be praised like this by the Duke, but he just likes it."

Pei Min felt a little awkward when he heard Lu's call himself "nunu".

"Nu Nu" is usually a woman's claim, but when Lu married Gao Lishi, he can use Nu Nu's claim to himself, but how can he transition from a girl to a woman?

However, Pei Min could also see that Gao Lishi was very fond of her, so as an outsider, it was naturally difficult to investigate the details.

Pei Min took the teacup and lifted the tea lid. A fragrance came to her face. She looked at the petals in the teacup and was slightly stunned.

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "The Duke of the State is very good at mint tea, everyone knows it! You might as well change the taste today. This is the camellia tea planted by Lu himself. You can try it."
