Chapter 543 A small manor very close to Ganye Temple

That night, many people in the palace were not asleep. Wu Meiniang was tossed and thought too much in her mind, so she couldn't sleep even if she wanted to. Li Yiren was also worried and frightened. After returning to her palace, she kept thinking that she would not dare to try her hands with others in the future. It was too difficult to scrape. It was really difficult for her to learn. Li Zhi returned to Lizheng Palace, fetched water and washed her face, washed several times before she washed it. He lay on the bed, thinking about pretending to be a ghost, thinking about Wu Meiniang's feet, and thinking about her smooth back, tossing and turning until dawn, he didn't fall asleep.

This is the case for the people in the palace, but the people in the Inspiration Temple slept quite well. Not to mention Tang Xuanzang, he was so addicted to speaking. He probably would continue to say it tomorrow, feeling comfortable and sleeping soundly.

Wang Ping'an also talked about opening a money shop during the day. He did not regard speaking as fun like Tang Xuanzang. However, he felt his throat a little hurt. After going to bed, he fell asleep not long after he went to bed.

Di Renjie was busy outside for a day and went back to his house. He thought about what method should he use if he didn't like Wu Meiniang's sister, so he could make her hate him. He came up with more than a dozen methods, and felt that each method was good and he fell asleep in a short while.

I slept comfortably and was naturally full of energy. The next morning, Di Renjie got up early and ran to find Hamiti, hoping that he would find a quiet place for himself.

He went too early, and during the Chinese New Year, everyone had the habit of sleeping in. The medicinal food shop did not have to open the door to do business. Hamiti naturally lay on the bed, enjoying the warm bed, so she was not willing to get up so early.

Di Renjie found Hamiti's residence and asked the servant to report it, saying that he had something to ask for a visit. Hamiti got the news and thought he was a delegation from Wang Ping'an to talk about the money house. He quickly got up and asked Di Renjie to go to the flower hall for tea.

Hamiti was dressed in a neat manner. When he arrived at the flower hall, he saw Di Renjie sitting on the chair with great energy and drinking tea. He thought to himself: "I didn't see this little guy yesterday. I don't know what he was busy with. Could it be that the person who runs the money shop that Wang Ping'an said was him? But isn't he going to take the scientific exam? Wang Ping'an will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi. When the little guy becomes an official, he will not have time to do business. Moreover, no matter how big or good the business is, it is better to be an official!"

Seeing Hamiti come in, Di Renjie smiled and stood up, saying, "Master Ha, my elder brother sent me to tell you something."

Hamiti hurriedly asked him to sit down and said with a smile: "Brother Di, don't call me Master Ha anymore. I can't afford it. Instead of waiting for you to become an official and then change your words, it's better to change it now. In the future, just call your elder brother and call me Haweng!"

Di Renjie sat down and said without being polite to him, "Then call him Haweng. Just call me Xiao Di. Haweng, my elder brother is afraid that I will delay my studies and wants to find a quiet place for me to prepare for the exam. You are familiar with the capital, and I wonder if you can find it for me?"

Hamiti was stunned and thought to himself: "Isn't it about the money house? It turns out that I want to find a quiet place. Could it be that I want to avoid suspicion?"

He said oh and laughed, "This is easy to deal with. To be honest, I have several properties, and Ayi Ding also has them. Do you want to be closer to the Inspiration Temple or farther away?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I understand that if I don't say anything, Ha Weng understands it. It's just to avoid suspicion. Of course, it's best to be a little farther away. I wonder if Ha Weng has real estate in the north of the city?"

He is talking about the north of the city, and the north of the city refers to the north of Chang'an City and outside the city.

But Hamiti was awkward and thought he was talking about the North City, Lifang to the north of Chang'an City. He shook his head and said, "I don't have real estate in the north City. The real estate I bought in Beijing is either closer to the east and west markets or closer to Zhuque Street. I am a businessman and it is convenient to do business. Of course, I have to choose this kind of place first."

Di Renjie said: "I want to find a quiet place. The city is not quiet enough after all. Most of the scholars who know my elder brother also live in the city. I am afraid that they will come to me. If they are troubled by my elder brother, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"

"You mean the north of the city, you mean the outside of the city!" Hamiti laughed and shook her head, "There is no need to leave the city, it's too inconvenient."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient. I'm not a very lively person. Besides, this is what my elder brother means."

Actually, it was Wu Meiniang's meaning, but in his heart, he had been misunderstanding that Wu Meiniang and Wang Ping'an were this or that, so Wu Meiniang's meaning can also be regarded as Wang Ping'an's meaning.

Hamiti said no, since it was Wang Ping'an's intention, then according to his intention. He said, "I do have real estate in the north of the city, but it's a little further away from the city. Do you know Han Chang'an?"

The Han Dynasty Chang'an was northwest of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Times changed and the world changed. It no longer looked like an imperial city. It had become a place for ordinary people to live in, and most of them were surrounded by crops.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Of course I know. Where is that property in Chang'an, Han?"

Hamidti said, "Yes, it is a small manor, a place where I raise horses. When I come from the grassland, I will raise them there, but there is no herd of horses now, and there is no one living there except for the servants who keep the house-looking servants. If you don't dislike it, you will go there."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "The more quiet you need, the more quiet you need, so quiet you can find someone to talk to!"

Di Renjie clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's the best. What I want is quietness. No one talks with me, that's the best."

Hamiti called a servant and asked the servant to take Di Renjie to the small manor. Di Renjie said goodbye, got out of the city, and went to find the small manor.

From Guanghua Gate, he ran northwest. Not long after walking, he came to a small village. The servant slowed down his horse, pointed at the small village, and said, "Please look, Mr. Di."

Di Renjie said: "This is that small manor? It's not far from the city!"

The servant hurriedly said, "Young Master Di misunderstood that the small manor is not here. The villain asked you to see this small village because he wanted to tell you that this is the place where Han Xin was killed."

Di Renjie then realized that it was explaining the ancient sites for him. He looked at the small village and said, "Empress Lu tricked Han Xin into Changle Palace and killed him in the bell room. It turned out that this is this!" There was no sign of Changle Palace, it was just a small village.

The two of them were moving forward again, and soon after, they came to the edge of a large forest.

The servant said, "Young Master Di, you will be around the woods and you will arrive. Yangma Manor is located in the north of the woods, not far from here." After a pause, he said, "Inside the woods is Ganye Temple. Every morning and night, you can hear the bells in the small manor."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Ganye Temple, that small garden is so close to Ganye Temple. I didn't expect that I just left Lingyan Temple and wanted to live next to Ganye Temple. It seems that I have a lot of Buddhist connection!"

A strange expression suddenly appeared on the servant's face, which was a bit unreasonable. He said, "There are monks living in Lingyan Temple, but the nuns living in Ganye Temple. You don't know anything. Many of the nuns in Ganye Temple are as beautiful as flowers. If you are tired of studying and walk in the woods, maybe you can meet a few. Listening to them talk about the scriptures is very interesting."

As the two of them spoke, they walked around the woods.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Since you mean, you are quite experienced. Could it be that you have been walking in the woods?"

The servant laughed and said, "No, the villain is served in the main house and rarely comes here, but I often hear others mention it and say this is a good place."

Di Renjie thought to himself: "Everyone says there are many troubles in front of the widow's door. It seems that there are many troubles in front of the nun's temple!"

The two of them walked a short distance and came to a small manor. There were no people living around the small manor. There were trees next to them, and there were a small river that penetrated the woods, but in winter the river surface was frozen. On the other side of the small manor, there were many large fences built, with dozens of huge haystacks and a tall brick building standing beside the fence.

The white walls and black tiles are dozens of feet away from the brick building, which is the small manor in Hamiti. However, as Hamiti said, it is quite deserted. Such a large area, there is not even a single figure.

The servant pointed to the fence and said, "The horses sold from the grassland are always kept there. The forage is prepared for the horse herd next year. The brick building contains fine materials."

Di Renjie nodded and walked towards the small manor with his servant. The small manor is not big, and the length of the courtyard wall is at most one-quarter of the size of the Inspiration Temple. The servant got off the horse and knocked on the door, and an old servant in his sixties came out. The servant and the old servant explained the matter clearly and asked Di Renjie to go in.

There is only an old servant couple in the small manor who takes care of the house. There is nothing here, so I am not afraid of being stolen. The yard is not much better than the Inspiration Temple. There are only a few houses, only one is neat, with three main rooms, and the other rooms are extremely simple.

Di Renjie walked around the yard, then went into the main room and looked at it, thinking, "It's okay, the place is spacious, and it's so quiet that it can't be quiet anymore."

He ordered the old servant and his wife to clean the main room, and he might move here tomorrow. The old servant was overjoyed and took the old woman to clean the room happily.

Then Di Renjie brought his servant back to the city. After getting on the horse, Di Renjie asked, "Why are they so happy when they heard that I was coming? Are they afraid of loneliness when they are old?"

The servant said, "What a status they are? Even if they are afraid of loneliness, they cannot be with Mr. Di. They are happy because you are here, so we will naturally send people to provide various needs. They can get a portion of them, eat and drink well, and they will naturally be happy."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "So that's it, I actually did a good thing."
