"The weeping poplars continue to pick up the remnants, and the wild goose teeth Hongqiao is like a picture. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the poet Wang Xin lamented the life of a wealthy businessman who spent money like dirt and was drunk with gold, which achieved the name of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, and also described a picture of prosperity for future generations.

Accompanied by beautiful women, standing on the big rainbow bridge of Slender West Lake, looking at the vast lake, Li Mobai had to sigh the beauty of Slender West Lake, "Sure enough, it is 'two embankments of flowers and willows are all according to the water, all the way to the mountain', although there are no twenty-four scenes in the heyday, but it is still more like a natural Chinese painting scroll, no wonder people say that this is the painting book of General Xiao Li." ”

"Of course, that's why Grandpa has always lived here." Bai Xue smiled and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Pier, standing on the painting boat is like merging with the lake, and it is even more beautiful." ”

The royal wharf is the special royal road for Qianlong Lao'er to board the boat during his southern tour, and he went down the stairs and came to the wharf to sit on the painting boat, Li Mobai suddenly felt a sense of etherealism, "The strange literati and scholars of the year lingered and forgot to return, and the rich businessmen and gentry threw thousands of dollars, and this scene suddenly has a sense of transcending time and space, as if Du Mu, Jin Nong, Zheng Xie, Wang Shizhen, and Huang Shen were chanting poems and painting in front of them, Bai Xue, do you feel it?" ”

"Of course it's your first time here, of course, it's a good feeling, I've been here a lot, but I'm used to it, but this time it's quite different." Bai Xue smiled sweetly.

Seeing the long corridor and short pavilions on the shore, among the green trees and red flowers, there are countless rare birds competing for beauty, and there are three or five tourists stopping to watch, Li Mobai felt that the whole person was relaxed, and an unprecedented sense of relaxation suddenly overflowed in his heart.

"That's Luyang Village, and it's also a must-have in Yangzhou, where flower-watching and bird walking has become the signature of Yangzhou players." Bai Xue looked at Li Mobai and explained with a smile.

"Play is also a kind of realm, standing on this painting boat, only to find that the pace in front of me is too fast, completely ignoring the scenery passing by." Li Mobai sighed.

"It's as if you're now an old man looking back on the past, and you've ignored the scenery around you!" Bai Xue spat out.

Li Mobai understood the meaning of Bai Xue's words, but pretended not to know anything, "If one day, I can stop, I am willing to live like this for the rest of my life, this is the highest state of life." ”

"Come less, I heard that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if you have time, you can live in my house for a while, and it is a good choice to sketch here." Bai Xue smiled and scolded and then proposed, but in her heart she hoped that Li Mobai would agree.

"Okay, I just don't know when I can stop."

"When one day you're tired." Bai Xue said without thinking, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that this was too explicit, and it was clearly a confession of eating fruits, and she said in her heart What's wrong, how can you say this.

"If I get tired one day, I will definitely stop." When Li Mobai heard Bai Xue's words, he secretly wondered if Bai Xue was checking himself, but I didn't even take Jiang Xuhan now, and I couldn't chew it if I was greedy.

Bai Xue heard Li Mobai's words, and said in her heart Fortunately, this guy was a little slow to react, otherwise it would be a shame today, "The front is Xiaojin Mountain, we will go up to Xiaojin Mountain in a while, standing at the highest place, the landscape of the entire Slender West Lake will be unobstructed." ”

"Little Golden Mountain, it's still far away!" Li Mobai smiled and said, "Slender West Lake, Little Golden Mountain, although it is not as wide as West Lake, nor is it as strong as Jinshan, but it gathers the strengths of the two families. ”

"Of course, 'borrowing a corner of the West Lake can boast of its thinness, and moving to Jinshan is not a pity', which is the pride of Yangzhou." Bai Xue hurriedly said, hiding the nervousness in her heart, and said in her heart, could it be that this guy is pretending to be slow to react?

As the boat progressed, there were more and more trees on the shore, the lake became more and more open, and the air became fresher and fresher. In the breeze wafting on the water, breathing in the smell of Slender West Lake mixed with the fishy smell of aquatic plants or small fish, it suddenly makes people feel that all the pears in their hearts have disappeared in the wind.

In the shade of green trees, looking at the reflection of the exquisite and elegant garden in the lake, Li Mobai seemed to have traveled through the time and space of history, and heard the ten tragic killings, but the tragedy comparable to the Nanjing Massacre was annihilated in the dust of history, "Yangzhou men are all good, and Shi Kefa is still glorious even if he is defeated." ”

Hearing Li Mobai's sudden inexplicable emotion, Bai Xue was stunned, "Why did you suddenly remember Shi Kefa?" And what touches the hot heart in you? ”

"Bai Xue, you speak like a poet!" Listening to Bai Xue's words, Li Mobai couldn't help laughing, but he didn't explain why he sighed.

At the end of the boat, Bai Xue proposed, "Let's get off the boat from here, there is the famous Xu Garden in front." ”

"That warlord Xu Baoshan is very good at enjoying it, and he actually built such a beautiful ancestral hall in this place, and I will also build several 'white gardens' in the famous mountains and rivers in various places in the future, and let people come to watch them after a hundred years." Walking at the door of Xu Yuan, Li Mobai said with a smile.

Bai Xue heard that Li Mobai did not say that Li Yuan was built but said Bai Yuan, and her heart suddenly rippled again, but after a while, she understood that what Li Mobai said about Bai Yuan meant Li Mobai's Bai, and after secretly scolding herself for being amorous, she said with a smile, "When I wander to a place with your garden in the future, I won't have to stay in a hotel." ”

Li Mobai smiled and responded, "If there is a day, when you choose a place, I will give you a garden, and you can go whenever you want." ”

When Bai Xue heard this, she said in her heart, what does this guy think, he is too bastard, and spitted, "You are so beautiful!" ”

Walk into Xu Garden, the exquisite and elegant Jiangnan garden is presented in front of you, there is a hall, a pavilion, a pavilion in the Xu Garden, there is a curved water outside, there is a pond inside, flowers, trees, bamboo and stone, just right, fully embodies the exquisite elegance of the Jiangnan garden, the most meaningful is to listen to the oriole pavilion, which is taken from the quatrain of 'two yellow orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the blue sky', "It is really ingenious, just like the Jiangnan woman is as charming and colorful." ”

After sighing, the two walked out of Xu Garden side by side, as soon as they walked out of Xu Garden, they saw a small red bridge, although it was located in the green leaves and clear water, but there was no sense of abruptness, but it gave people a delicate and moving feeling.

"Mobai, from now on into the core of the Slender West Lake, in front of the small gold mountain, the east of the building is the 'four bridges of smoke and rain', whenever the 'mountain is empty and rainy and strange', the scenery here is 'four bridges flying across the smoke'. Standing on this building, you can see four Chunbo Bridge, Dahong Bridge, Changchun Bridge and Lotus Bridge with different colors and shapes. In the mist and rain, the four bridges are far and near, thick and light, high and low. Standing on the little red bridge, Bai Xue raised his hand and pointed to the front as a tour guide.

"Xiao Jinshan, this name is really full of poetry, do you know the origin of this name?" Li Mobai said with a smile.

Bai Xue glared at Li Mobai angrily, "You actually beat me in the exam, you forgot that I grew up in Yangzhou, and I am much more familiar with that legend than you." ”

"Qingshan is also disgusted with Yangzhou customs, how many peaks and peaks are not the river, Zhenjiang monk seems to be right, you see that Yangzhou is indeed no mountain!" Li Mobai laughed when he heard this.

"Hmph, the snap of your fingers is empty, the jade bureau has been left behind; If the fist is not big, Jinshan is also willing to cross the river, but the Yangzhou monk is a chess master. Bai Xue said unconvinced.

Li Mobai and Bai Xue talked and talked about the origin of the name of Xiaojinshan, but a small word made Yangzhou a little more colorful than Zhenjiang.

Although Xiaojin Mountain is small, it is the place with the most scenic spots in the whole Slender West Lake Scenic Area, which concentrates the famous landscapes such as the Wind Pavilion, the Blowing Stage, the Piano Room, the Muxi Book House, the Chess Room, and the Moon View.

On this miniature hill, not only brings together the essence of the most famous garden architecture in Yangzhou, but also the most famous place to admire the moon in the moon city of Yangzhou - the moon view, although there is no way to experience the beautiful artistic conception of 'the moon comes to the ground and water, and the clouds rise from the mountain for a day', but just appreciate the pen and ink of Zheng Banqiao can also make people feel refreshed, standing in front of the railing, looking at the open water in front of him, Bai Xue sighed, "It's a pity that today is not the night of the full moon, otherwise you can feel the beautiful scenery of the moonlight and the lake dissolving, and the cloud shadow and the mountain shadow are connected." ”

"If you can see enough of the best scenery at once, where will there be freshness in the future." Li Mobai looked at the sparkling lake in front of him, and he was also emotional.

Bai Xue heard this and said in her heart, what does this guy mean, is he hinting that he will come here with me to admire the moon in the future, uh, I want to be crooked again, what's wrong today, I always think crankily, "Yes, only those who always have a sense of freshness have a taste." ”

The two walked side by side in front, Xiao Bai dropped far behind, watching Li Mobai and Bai Xue start to maintain a certain distance, at this time they were shoulder to shoulder, and said in their hearts, didn't this mean that Bai Shao had a girlfriend, why did he get so close to Bai Xue, but the captain said, in case Bai Shao and the woman got too close and made a mistake, how could this be good.

"No wonder it is said that Yangzhou women are beautiful, it turns out that they are all this mountain, this water, and this building, which brings together all the spirit of heaven and earth in Yangzhou." After visiting the entire Slender West Lake Scenic Area, Li Mobai said with a smile.

"Are you praising me, you might as well just say it, I like to hear you praise me." Bai Xue looked at Li Mobai with a bright look in her eyes and said.

"You can understand it that way, but if I want to praise you, I haven't found more of your merits at the moment." Li Mobai smiled.

"yes, so how do you find out?" Bai Xue took a step into Li Mobai and asked seriously.

Looking at the snow-white eyes as clear as water and the snow-white skin, Li Mobai's heart moved faintly, such a smart and clear woman like ice and snow is really a rare stunner in the world, "I am now discovering that you are an elf sent by heaven to the world, the embodiment of beauty." ”
