CHAPTER XVI

"In the courtyard hidden in the mountains, the maple leaves are charming red, the front courtyard of the cloister is wide, and you can listen to the spring water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhangshan was once a hero, but in his later years, he watched the sky, the poet fairy hung in the master bedroom, and the sencha ink flavor was strong - in fact, this is a poem that misses the owner of the "Shixian Hall". The first two couplets are to say that the scenery here is beautiful; The latter two couplets are about the identity of the owner here and his residence here. In one of Kyoto's best sights, "Shisendo", Shue, who is strolling lightly, is explaining the meaning of this poem to the Yulu next to him. And after Shue said this, he said to Shue Science: "The owner of this Shisendo is Ishikawa Zhangshan, who is said to be the inventor of sencha, which many people in Japan like to drink." At the same time, this man was also a calligrapher, and he loved to collect poems from the poets of the ancient Celestial Empire. ”

"Eh, really? This Zhangshan is really a literati, he must have been born in a scholarly family, right? Xilu said in amazement. However, Shue smiled slightly and denied her statement: "I don't think Mr. Ishikawa was born into a family of literati...... He himself was a samurai under Tokugawa Ieyasu, brave but good at poetry. I heard that he made a mistake in a battle, so he was demoted from the army. Later, he had all kinds of matters as a Japanese poet. ”

Xilu was a little surprised when she heard this: "That's the case...... However, after leaving the barracks, the samurai studied literature with peace of mind. Improving one's self-cultivation and achieving the ultimate achievement is very admirable. ”

"That's right."

―――――――――――――― dividing line

In addition to the "Shisendo", there are many other beautiful spots in Kyoto. Heian Jingu, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Nankaku-ji Temple, etc. in Tokyo; Upper Kyoto's Shisendo, Shugakuin Imperial Palace, etc.; Kinkaku-ji Temple and Ryoan-ji Temple in western Kyoto, as well as famous places such as Tozai Honganji Temple and Nijo-jo Castle in Central Kyoto, are popular places for visitors to Kyoto. Shue and Xilu are no exception, and they have all enjoyed these famous attractions one by one.

I have to say that these tourist attractions in Kyoto really live up to the expectations of Shue and Xilu, and bring them a different kind of humanistic enjoyment.

During these days, they had seen two couplets in the living room of Kiyomizu Temple - "Originally, the heart was full of green, and the moon pierced through the water at the bottom of the pond without a trace" and "The avenue He Yanting has yellow leaves, and the bamboo shadow sweeps the dust of the steps". And I admired the calligraphy in the temple. Seeing these treasures of the ancients, the two of them had their own understandings in their hearts, and they didn't mention it.

They also spent half a day holding hands and strolling slowly in the Sagano area north of Arashiyama and at the eastern foot of Mount Ogura. On the path between Nonomiya Shrine and Kano Nenbutsu Temple, there are Toginko-ji Temple, Rakukisha, Daikaku-ji Temple, and Nison-in Temple, and the atmosphere is quiet and elegant. And the more than 10,000 stone Buddha statues of unknown authors in the Huaye Nian Buddha Temple are also very amazing to the two girls. Not to mention, the winding path leads to the sifting moon forest.

The bamboo in this sifting moon forest is very dense, and even the light has to work hard to get in, perhaps this is the origin of its name "sieve moon". Holding each other's hands and strolling on the forest road, the originally light and rainy weather has lowered the brightness of the bamboo forest. In the midst of the greenery, the breeze accompanied the two girls all the way. The body walked lightly through this dense bamboo forest, and when I looked back, I had a quiet and dust-free feeling.

In addition to its beautiful scenery, Kyoto is also unique to its people, which is impressive.

Traveling to a place and enjoying its unique cuisine is also an essential and enjoyable thing.

There is a cuisine in Kyoto called "kaiseki". This kaiseki cuisine was originally a meal that the host invited guests to taste during the Japanese tea ceremony. However, it has become a common high-end dish in Japan. Kaiseki cuisine is extremely delicate, demanding both in terms of cutlery and food presentation, but the portions are small. Considered a work of art by some. Cutting high-end kaiseki cuisine is expensive—but I feel that it's a matter of course to be delicious, but it's a bit of a mistaste to be too exquisite.

Although the dish itself is a so-called "artistic conception......

Of course, when eating this valuable dish, she will also have some subtleties in her heart - neither of them was born into a rich family, and there is no possibility of becoming a rich generation until now. In other words, I don't have the ability to spend a lot of money on such luxurious cuisine.

So, is it really beneficial to hug the thighs of local tyrants?

In addition to kaiseki cuisine, other dishes such as Kyoto ramen and soup tofu are also must-have dishes for girls. But I won't go into detail here.

For Shue and Xilu, this trip to Kyoto was undoubtedly very enjoyable. The people and scenery of Kyoto make them linger. However, if there is anything that is slightly surprising but impressive about this trip to Kyoto, it is one thing.

And this incident is related to "mahjong" - Shue and Xilu, on the fourth day of this trip to Kyoto, they actually played mahjong with people for a whole afternoon.

―――――――――――――――― dividing line

At 11:30 a.m. on the fourth day of their trip to Kyoto, two people who had visited some Kyoto attractions in the morning went to a restaurant with Kyoto's local cuisine that was not wealthy, but very well-known. Then, at the dinner table, to the surprise of Shue, Xilu said that she suddenly wanted to play mahjong here for an afternoon in Kyoto.

Xilu said: "When I came to this place, I went non-stop to various scenic spots and scenic spots. Of course, it made me have a very good time; But I seem to be a little tired and a little unable to run...... Why don't we take a break today and play mahjong! Actually, if you think about it, the two of us haven't played against each other for a long time. ”

After hearing Xilu's words, Shue was slightly stunned. However, she quickly reacted, and Xilu was probably a little tired from running.

After all, Xilu is just an ordinary middle school girl, and she has been running to attractions for several days in a row, and every day she goes out to play at seven o'clock in the morning and returns to the hotel at nearly ten o'clock in the evening. It's really hard work.

As for the number drawing...... Although she didn't do professional physical training, her body was not weaker than that of a student in a sports school - which can probably only be said to be one of the benefits of being a time-traveler. So even though she ran the same road as Xilu, she didn't feel too tired.

In short, the main purpose of this trip is to make Xilu happy. So as long as she is willing, there is naturally nothing she wants to do.

So, on the afternoon of this day, the two came to a ...... in Kyoto It looks like a somewhat extraordinary sparrow.
