In the Gu garden's entirety, Gu Yun did not make any drastic changes to the small place where the two usually lived, because before, Chang Geng had renovated it down to the details. From the slightly lowered small courtyard to the flowing and winding water, to the duckweeds and stone steps, all were painted by him.

Gu Yun pillowed his arms and laid down by the lake behind the mountain: "I heard from the construction leaders that you tell them to work however they pleased in other places. I think you only have the patience to build a small courtyard."

Chang Geng said with a smile: "It's not that I only have the patience to build a small courtyard, but there is only one courtyard in my heart."

Gu Yun blinked.

Master Liao Ran once said, "If one's heart is small, all their sufferings even as large as a house, can only be crammed into that small corner. But if one's heart was as vast as heaven and earth, then even if their troubles were as large as a mountain, they would become nothing more than a droplet of water in the endless sea."

Although the master did not like to be clean, he was indeed an eminent monk. When Chang Geng was a teenager, he followed his words and banished his worries and resentments to the four corners of the world. Now, with all his fears and resentments cleared up, he took his "heaven and earth" back to a small seed and put them all into this little courtyard.

In this way, wouldn't it mean that his feelings were so deep they could never dissipate?

Just as the fish were about to approach, the faint sound of horse's hooves came again. Chang Geng sighed: "Marshal, if your retired 'soldiers' meddle again. There will be no grilled fish to eat in the evening. You can rinse your hands in the water and prepare to lick them for dinner."

Gu Yun picked up his robe and said, "Wait."

Chang Geng thought that the Marshal wanted to go train his horse. However, his eyes dazzled for a moment, a splashing sound rang out, and he almost had a face full of water.

Gu Yun: "Catch!"

He cut into the water obliquely with one hand, creating no water droplets, catching a fat fish with one move. Its scales sparkling in the light, falling into Chang Geng's arms with a streak of colorful glow. Its wagging tail created a small rainbow.

The emperor caught it in a hurry, the fishing rod fell into the river: "Gu Zi Xi! How old are you!"

Gu Yun laughed aloud.

Then his joy turned to sorrow. He did not get to eat the grilled fish he so yearned for that night. Afraid that he would catch a cold, Chang Geng took him to take a hot bath, poured him a bowl of cold expelling soup, and resolutely changed the grilled fish into miserable watery fish soup.
