Chapter 152: Spring Outing (Part II)
Shichahai is the only open scenic spot with open water surface in the inner city of Yanjing, and it is also the largest and most intact historical district in the city, which includes the three waters of Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai and adjacent areas, echoing with the "first three seas", commonly known as the "back three seas".
Shichahai is also written as "Shichahai", and there are ten Buddhist temples around it, so it is called. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has become a place for amusement and summer, and it is one of the scenic spots in Yanjing. There are a lot of ancient buildings in Shicha Seascape District, which mainly represent Prince Gong's Mansion and Garden, Qingwang's Mansion and Alcohol Palace, Bell and Drum Tower, Deshengmen Arrow Tower, Guanghua Temple, Huitong Temple, Huixian Hall and so on.
Huang Liangliang and the others followed the teachers to walk around the scenic spots in the morning, because the place is really not small, so the morning time is only half of the time.
Lunch was eaten in a tea shed between the lotus bushes on the willow bank, and the tea shed was made of reed mats to erect sheds higher than the embankment. Below is a solid wooden support, inserted in the river mud, with wooden planks on top and reed mats on top, like a high platform near the water.
The edge of the high platform, stretching out to the water surface, looking down on the lotus pond, are all under the eye. This is the "Shengjing" of Shichahai Tea Shed. Although the equipment is simple, the interior layout is very comfortable. The chairs are rattan chairs, and the table is covered with white cloth.
Because today is not a holiday, these tea sheds have been chartered by the First Experimental Primary School, and there are no less than ten places along the embankment, all of which are full of students.
"I heard that our junior students will eat first, and we will come over when we finish eating. Wang Ping wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, poured a big sip of soda from the kettle, and said with a long sigh of relief.
Huang Liangliang looked at Lao Zhang and several other teachers handing out steamed buns and side dishes one by one, and asked with some puzzlement: "Where did these steamed buns come from?"
"I know this!" Wang Ping immediately replied, "There is a state-run restaurant not far from here, I heard those senior seniors say that the school has already booked our lunch with them, I originally thought it was something to eat, it turned out to be steamed buns." In the end, Wang Ping's face showed some disgust.
"It's good to have steamed buns to eat, let's come out to play, what delicacies and delicacies can you expect to eat." Ye Zhuoqun said angrily.
"I think it's too wasteful for the school to do this, and if we are allowed to bring our own food, the school won't have to spend a penny. Wang Ping pouted and said, still very resentful of not being able to bring snacks.
"Don't say it, Teacher Zhang is here. Seeing that Lao Zhang was about to send it to them, Huang Liangliang spoke out to stop the conversation between the two.
After eating the dry steamed buns with side dishes, Lao Zhang allowed them to move freely along the embankment for a while, but they couldn't get too close to the river.
The eight or nine-year-old children suddenly went to play like a happy person, Huang Liangliang is an adult after all, and he can't play with a group of children, so he finds a willow tree and sits under it to read. Well, she got the magazine back from Wang Ping's hands again, at the cost of a week's class notes.
I don't know how long I watched, Ye Zhuoqun ran over out of breath, and said to her anxiously: "Ah Ping, she ...... She...... Gone?"
Huang Liangliang didn't understand it at first, so he asked Ye Zhuoqun not to be in a hurry and said slowly, Ye Zhuoqun was relieved, and finally explained what happened in an orderly manner.
"Originally, Wang Ping and I just wanted to go to the riverbank to have a look, and before I knew it, we walked to the back door of a mansion, and the door was somehow open, Wang Ping ran in for a moment of curiosity, I didn't dare to go in at first, but then I saw that she didn't come out, so I wanted to go in to find her, but I went in to look around, but I didn't find her. ”
"Did she go deeper into the house?" Huang Liangliang asked as he guessed that people would not disappear for no reason.
"But the door to the inside is locked, and I can't get in. Ye Zhuoqun frowned tightly and said more and more anxiously.
Huang Liangliang also frowned when he heard this, got up and pulled Ye Zhuoqun up and said, "You take me over to have a look first." Ye Zhuoqun took Huang Liangliang and trotted to the back door of the house that Wang Ping had just entered.
At this point, the back door was closed. Ye Zhuoqun suddenly became more anxious when he saw it, and pulled Huang Liangliang and asked, "What now?"
Huang Liangliang thought for a while, and then said: "Let's go to the main gate and take a look, the back door of this house will open, indicating that there must be someone living here, let's go find the owner of the house, Ah Ping should still be in the house, but I accidentally ran in, and I can find it when I get inside." ”
Ye Zhuoqun is now a bit of a master of the six gods, so he naturally listens to Huang Liangliang for everything.
The two went around to the main entrance of the mansion together, and saw the house number on the door, No. XX along the north side of the Houhai. Huang Liangliang stepped forward, grabbed the knocker on the door with his feet, and buckled it a few times.
Soon, there was the sound of shredded footsteps inside. Huang Liangliang hurriedly took a step back, and after waiting for a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside.
The door was opened by a woman in her forties, dressed in an old-fashioned gray cloth dress, and looking very shrewd and capable. Xu is saw two children standing outside the door, and his originally vigilant expression relaxed a little, but he still looked at Huang Liangliang and the two suspiciously, and asked, "Whose children are you, don't you know that you can't knock on people's doors indiscriminately?"
Huang Liangliang knew that this woman had mistaken them for playful children, and immediately explained: "Hello Auntie, we didn't knock on the door indiscriminately, we are students of the First Experimental Primary School, today the school organized a spring outing to Shichahai, one of my classmates accidentally ran in through the back door of your house, we couldn't find her, so we came to knock on the door to trouble you." ”
Seeing that Huang Liangliang spoke clearly and very politely, not at all like an eight or nine-year-old child, the woman inevitably had some good feelings in her heart, and after thinking about it, she opened the door and said to the two of them: "Since this is the case, then you come in, and I will let people go to the courtyard to look for it." ”
Huang Liangliang and the others followed the woman into the house, but they were not brought into the house, but only let them sit and wait in the concierge hospitality. Since the two were children, the woman very politely brought out some candy and melon seeds for them to eat.
Huang Liangliang didn't have the heart to eat at the moment, and now there was not much time left before the gathering, if they didn't find Wang Ping to go back quickly, I was afraid that they would be punished by Teacher Zhang.
The woman didn't keep them waiting long, and soon led them back. Huang Liangliang saw Wang Ping, who was following the woman and was dejected, so he immediately got up and ran over.
