Later, under Huo Feng's insistence, Ye Xi gritted her teeth and agreed to have dinner with them, even though Ye Xi didn't want to get involved between them.
After answering the call, Huo Feng returned the phone to Yu Sangzhi. He sat down and picked up a cup of milk tea to drink.
Yu Sangzhi, who was standing beside him, silently put away his phone and asked, "Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to have dinner with Brother Ye Xi tonight? Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Huo Feng raised one eyebrow, biting the straw and said with an unhappy look, "He is the one who got involved in this matter, and I will make him completely heartbroken!"
Yu Sangzhi pursed his lips and asked again, "What do you want to do?"
"Show your affection."
Huo Feng raised his brows, "We must show our affection! We must make him give up! Tonight is my home court!"
Yu Sangzhi: “Oh…”
She didn't know what to say to Huo Feng.
Seeing how Huo Fenggang handled Ye Xi so smoothly, he should have a clear idea of what to do next...
"Come on, after you finish your sandwich, let's go for a walk. It's getting late."
Huo Feng picked up the unfinished sandwich on the table and handed it to Yu Sangzhi, complaining, "It was a good date, but you had to make something unhappy. We didn't have a smooth date, so we went on a date as planned. From now on, when we go on a date, turn off your phone and post on WeChat Moments after the date. These people are so annoying!"
Yu Sangzhi took the sandwich and took a bite, then silently reached out to pat his back without saying anything.
Today was indeed a bad date. It was her fault for speaking too much to Brother Ye Xi!
This time, not only was there the trouble of having an extra meal at noon, but also the trouble of having three people eat together, watch a movie together, and Huo Feng having to find an excuse to go to the bar...
What was originally a very simple matter has now become so troublesome.
Yu Sangzhi was also very sorry.
"I'm telling you, you have to cooperate with me no matter what I say or do tonight!"
Huo Feng bit his sandwich hard and said unhappily, "I have to let Gou Yexi know who your boyfriend is!"
Seeing the intense desire for revenge on his face, Yu Sangzhi could only respond, "You decide. Just don't go too far."
Huo Feng: “Hmm!”
Huo Feng's standard is to hit! Hit! Hit hard!
The dog Ye Xi must be attacked without any thought!
…
The two of them strolled around the Summer Palace for about three hours.
The garden is huge, and at first glance, it looks like a magnificent Qing Dynasty building. But after walking around, you will find that... it is just Qing Dynasty architecture!
The Summer Palace, the best-preserved royal palace and garden, is known as the "Royal Garden Museum".
This place was rebuilt by Emperor Qianlong for his mother, Empress Xiaosheng, and was then called the Qingyi Garden. Its architectural model was based on the West Lake in Hangzhou, so the scenery here is quite similar to that of Hangzhou West Lake.
It is said that Emperor Qianlong was so impressed by the beauty of West Lake in Hangzhou when he visited the south of the Yangtze River that he started to rebuild the place after returning to the capital.
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, beginning with Emperor Qianlong, has seen emperors indulge in luxury. The Qianlong Emperor's seven trips to the south of the Yangtze River are a particularly striking example of historical significance.
With the change of dynasties, during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the Garden of Clear Ripples was renamed the Summer Palace, and it became a summer resort for the royal family.
Every summer, the emperor would bring his concubines and the empress dowager to the Summer Palace to escape the heat.
This is the historical story behind the Summer Palace.
Yu Sangzhi and Huo Feng walked in the quaint Summer Palace. Here, Yu Sangzhi learned a lot of knowledge beyond the textbooks.
Huo Feng pulled her to take pictures and took a lot of beautiful pictures.
There are many tourists in the Summer Palace, and there are also many tour guides. Although it is not the peak tourist season, there are many such tours in Beijing, and there are people almost every day.
Yu Sangzhi and Huo Feng drank milk tea while walking, and the tour guide would give them some historical knowledge related to the Summer Palace from time to time.
For example, the extravagant and happy life of Empress Dowager Cixi.
For example, what role does the placement of a certain stone in the Summer Palace play in the Feng Shui and Five Elements?
I guess I was forced to learn some basic science.
Yu Sangzhi and Huo Feng strolled around here for about three hours, and heard a lot about how Empress Dowager Cixi enjoyed her life to the fullest.
After being influenced by these historical stories for a while, Huo Feng put his arm around Yu Sangzhi's shoulders and started chatting with her.
He asked Yu Sangzhi, "I'm going to build you a royal garden in the future. Do you also want to live there and enjoy life like that old woman Cixi?"
"I don't."
Yu Sangzhi's hand was also around Huo Feng's waist, strolling with him along the paths of the Summer Palace. She said, "Cixi was too extravagant. How could anyone enjoy a meal of over 100 dishes and taste every single one? There shouldn't have been such a dynasty where the emperor and the empress dowager were treated like such a deity. Aren't they all just human beings?"
"Hey, think about it from another perspective. If the last few emperors of the Qing Dynasty hadn't been so extravagant, how could we have ended this era of dynastic rule? Even though that old woman Cixi was criticized so much by later generations, she still made some contributions."
Huo Feng raised a hand and said confidently, "At least, she defeated the Qing Dynasty! She laid a good foundation for the new era! Otherwise, how many more years would this dynasty have lasted? Don't you think so?"
"Hmm~"
Yu Sangzhi nodded. "So, in reality, the prosperity of a family depends entirely on how it's managed by individuals. On a larger scale, it's a dynasty; on a smaller scale, it applies to any large family, or even a small household. No matter how much wealth the ancestors left behind, as long as there's one grandchild who squanders it, it's very likely that the entire family will decline."
