Huodu is located at the confluence of Songyang River, Guangping River and Daheng River, because of the passage of the three rivers, and is located at the junction of the three counties of the west, south and east. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSuccessive capital guards have the duty of guarding and guarding the only waterway leading to Shangjing, holding heavy troops, and their power and responsibility are very great, and they are generally held by the emperor's cronies and important ministers.
It is impossible to know when this city was built, and the old gate of "Yongzhen Sanjiang", which was originally engraved with the inscription of a certain emperor's imperial pen, has become a historical monument in the center of the capital with the expansion project that has been carried out for hundreds of years. With the old city gate as the center, criss-crossing several main roads lead to Sanjiang Port, both sides of the road are the well-known businesses of the whole country, the medicinal materials of the southwest, the fresh goods of the East China Sea, the furs of the north, the silk of the Central Plains, the books and antiques, the jewelry and jade, which make people dazzled, the small grocery shops on the small block and the travelers and traders who come and go from the south to the north are even more countless, and the end is a good place for outstanding people and rich resources.
It is because Huodu is prosperous and wealthy, the scenery of the three rivers is unique in the world, and most of the literati and scholars love this city, the Wangjing Tower in the north, the Zhenhai Tower in the east, and the Zhiya Water Pavilion on the Songyang River where the water flow is relatively gentle, the day drinking feast, the night sheng song, it is the gathering place where the literati often go, and how many famous poems are spread all over the world by Huodu. Even if it is today's Emperor Qingyou, although it is not explicitly stated, but the heart has long regarded Huo Du as a "companion capital", has three southern tours, the first time to inspect Huo Du when he ascended the throne has not been a year, leaving a "Sanjiang Sheng song is good, do not hear the morning bell" of the imperial pen, and regardless of the quality of the poem, this is quite a glamorous mentality, but by the imperial history beat the chest and foot of the heavy admonition, the poem just finished, was still alive at that time the emperor and the ministers of the bitter persuasion sent back to Beijing.
Leaning on the wharf in the direction of the Songyang River, a boat of different sizes stopped, and pieces of colorful flag curtains rose and fell with the river breeze.
People who come to Huodu for the first time may be mistaken, mistakenly thinking that it is a place of wind and moon with bright flags, but in fact, this piece is all from the four counties and seven mansions, and dozens of stages are provided for these theater boats along the river, some of which are built simply, some are rich, and the share of money naturally collected is not the same. There are all kinds of operas sung by the theater boats that come here, mainly in the southern and northern dialects, and there are also some troupes that sing more than a dozen local small operas such as bangzi, high dialect, and river water ballads. Most of these troupes come on the same day and leave the next day, if they can stand here for more than three days, they can be regarded as a team with horns and materials, just because this is not another place, this is Huodu.
There is a saying among the music departments in the world: Shangjing red is not really red, Huo Duhong is red.
Huodu, a place where literature and atmosphere gather, even the people who watch the drama are more knowledgeable and picky than other places.
Some of the colorful flags on the wharf are embroidered with "Lisheng Class", "Fuchun Class", etc., which is the name of the troupe, and some of the Lingren in the class are somewhat famous, and they are hung with embroidered flags embroidered with the names of Lingren, what "Xiaoyan Red", "Earthquake Thunder" and the like, in this pile of red, green, and green, there is a flag with a silver-white bottom, embroidered with a huge green peony, the stamens are golden, just from this flag, it is quite willing to spend money, and even uses gold thread, next to a slightly smaller flag, it is much ordinary, It is directly embroidered with "Jiuling Xiu", although it does not show the name of the opera troupe, but many people know that this is the flag of the "Peony Society", I heard that it comes from the west along the Songyang River, and it is a little famous.
Beneath the flag stood two girls of their prime.
The younger girl had slender and long eyebrows, eyes as bright as stars, white skin than snow, and peachy cheeks. At first glance, it seems to be no different from ordinary people's ladies, but if you look closely, you can see the difference. Although this girl's eyebrows and eyes are still a little childish, but her eyes are too smart, there seems to be a charm between glances, the white forehead is not combed with bangs, but leads to the back, casually tied a bun on the back of the head, revealing a beauty point, at this age ordinary girls are not married, how can they comb their hair like this?
She stood there, wearing a light green semi-long gown on her upper body, and moon-white practice pants with her legs and feet pierced underneath, standing straight and straight with the wind brushing, like a small poplar tree that the wind could not bend, but she lost the coquettishness that she felt when she looked at her face.
The slightly larger girl next to her is the owner of this silver-white flag embroidered with green peonies, and the head card of this team is called "Green Peony". Her hair is also combed in the same way, a hairpin is inserted obliquely on the sideburns, she wears a water red dress, with dark green silk, the slender waist lining looks not a hand, the white melon seed face has two willow leaf curved eyebrows, under the eyebrows is a pair of affectionate watery apricot eyes, the red lips are slightly open, half revealing fine rice and silver teeth, just heard the little girl's words I don't know what to say, is laughing forward and backward, said: "Xiu'er, you are too whimsical, what is the place of Zhiya Water Pavilion, godfather can find the current splendid stage, We're already lucky! ā
Speaking of this, the "Green Peony" himself fell into deep thought, and his eyes looked straight at the layers of pavilions and pavilions on the shore, and in the early spring, those courtyards were covered with smoke-like greenery, as if the whole city was in a picture scroll - how blessed the people who lived in this picture scroll should be.
She said stupidly: "Xiu'er, look at this way, where are we all singing...... What is singing social drama in people's hometowns, the temporary stage set up by the water, standing on it feels straight, and the people watching the play below don't know anything about the play, and a group of big bosses know how to applaud indiscriminately, and there are few rewards...... You know how to sing and sing, last time in that place called Xingzitun, someone actually sent a few bags of grain as a reward...... This time it's different, Huo Du, how long has it been since we've sung on the stage? The people who watch the play must be different, Xiu'er, this is our chance! ā
Green Peony muttered and complained, Jiu Lingxiu didn't know that with their "Peony Society" this grass platform team, I am afraid that she would not be able to enter the Zhiya Water Pavilion in this life, she looked at the magnificent building by the river, half of it was on the shore, half of it was supported by a few thick red pillars on the river, several bells could be seen swaying in the wind on the cornice, and the fluttering light yarn could be seen on the side of the water, and the water pavilion was a stage that many people dreamed of going to.
