The Qinhuai River in a belt washes away the muddy water of the previous dynasty, and the millennium Confucius Temple is bright and the ancient appearance of the past dynasties is new.

This is a couplet engraved on the stone pillar of the Sile Pavilion rebuilt by Jianye Confucius Temple, which implicitly and fully displays the clear beauty of the Qinhuai River and the new appearance of the construction of the Confucius Temple, giving people endless aftertaste and reverie.

Confucius Temple is a temple dedicated to and worshiped Confucius, also known as Wenxuan Wang Temple, referred to as the Temple of Literature. It has been famous at home and abroad as a famous scenic spot in Qinhuai for the construction of the ancient city, and has become a well-known tourist attraction. Confucius Temple was built in the first year of Song Jingyou (1034 AD), after the vicissitudes of life, several times of rise and fall, by the current political axe year after year appropriation to build and rebuild, so that Confucius Temple to Dacheng Hall as the main body of both Ming and Qing Dynasty style, and the temple market streetscape characteristics of the ancient buildings rise to the ground.

Dozens of meters southwest of Confucius Temple is the famous Wuyi Lane, originally the location of the house of Wang Dao and Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the old days, Wang Xie's children liked to wear black clothes, so they got the name Wuyi Lane, in order to commemorate Wang Dao, Xie An, there was a Yantang in the east of Wuyi Lane, the building is simple and elegant, the portrait of Wang Dao and Xie An is hung in the hall, Shizi tourists are continuous, it becomes the place to pay homage to the famous face of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, express the ancient feelings. The popular poem by the great poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty "Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Lane, the former swallow of Wang Xie Tang in the old days, flew into the homes of ordinary people", which is the sigh of Wuyi Lane.

Nowadays, Confucius Temple is the most famous and prosperous place in Jianye City, and it is also the most commercial block with the taste of old Qinhuai.

Confucius Temple, in the spacious private room of the VIP building, Li Mobai, He Yanran, He Ping, and Xiaobai sat opposite each other, and the delicious Jingsu cuisine was set up like a full table, the dishes were meticulous and exquisite, the style was elegant, and it was prohibitive.

Jingsu cuisine, also known as Jinling cuisine, is also called Jingsu cuisine, and the chefs like to call themselves Jingsu Bang, which is a local flavor dish centered on Nanjing. Originated in the pre-Qin period, the Sui and Tang dynasties were already prestigious, and became a genre in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a branch of Su cuisine. The raw materials are mostly aquatic products, pay attention to freshness, fine knife skills, and make good use of cooking methods such as stewing, stewing, roasting, and simmering, so that the taste is peaceful, fresh and fragrant.

Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent an advisor to inspect Han Xizai's night banquet and painted the famous long scroll "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", which is a true portrayal of Jianye's family banquet at that time. During the Tang and Song dynasties, Jianye's food market was very prosperous, and Du Mu wrote in the poem "Bo Qinhuai": "The smoke cage is cold and the water is cold at night, and the night is close to the restaurant."

When Li Mobai saw He Yanran, he was also a little surprised, his heart was beautiful, but it was obviously not good-looking, and he didn't have the gentleness and loveliness of a Qin Huai woman at all, but it gave people a feeling of aggressiveness.

After a little greeting, he came to the famous VIP building, and after sitting down, He Yanran reported a string of dishes in Nanjing dialect as if singing tricks, fortunately, Li Mobai is learning to write, and he still has a little understanding of Nanjing dialect and can barely understand it, after all, Nanjing dialect is the official language from the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

After ordering the food, He Yanran waited for the food to be served, but he didn't speak, only occasionally glanced at Li Mobai, Li Mobai didn't speak, just sat quietly, and occasionally said a few words to He Ping, but He Ping obviously didn't dare to say more, and looked at He Yanran's face from time to time.

"Welcome Mr. Li to Jianye, my little sister has never been far away, and I hope to forgive me!" It wasn't until the dishes were all served that he opened Moutai and filled everyone's cups before he raised his glass and said.

"Thank you Sister Yanran for your hospitality, brother, I am simply flattered!" Li Mobai also picked up the cup and said with a smile on his face, as if the two were already very familiar.

He Yanran grinned when she heard this, and finally showed a little femininity, "Although many people want to call me sister, it's the first time I've heard someone call me in person, hey, it doesn't feel too bad." ”

After a pause at this, he said, "It's just that this sister is not easy to scream, is Mr. Li ready to pay any price?" ”

Li Mobai laughed when he heard this, and said with a reasonable face, "Sister Yanran has seen the outside, it's too rusty to call Mr. Li, it's better to call me Brother Li like He Ping." ”

Hearing Li Mobai's words, He Ping gloated with a look on his face, and said in his heart, Brother Li, don't blame me for not reminding you, it's not that I can't, but I don't dare.

"Mr. Li's name, Yan Ran has indeed heard of it for a long time, but the title of big brother can't be called casually, I think my future Bogu Pavilion Master, how can I call someone big brother casually!" He Yanran said with a provocative expression, as if she was already the master of Bogu Pavilion.

Li Mobai glanced at He Yanran's right hand when he heard this, and found that he was also wearing a white jade ring, and said in his heart that this girl was also one of the candidates, and she was really a little perverse, no wonder He Ping had a strange look, "The pavilion master is also a normal person, Sister Yanran, what do you say." ”

He Yanran was already angry when she heard Li Mobai say Yanran's sister, and she actually ate my tofu, "I heard that Mr. Li's eyesight is extraordinary, and those old guys are full of praise, Yanran wants to see it, I don't know if Mr. Li can give me advice." ”

Li Mobai took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of duck pancreas and put it in his mouth, and then said slowly, "Sister Yanran, look at how delicious this beauty's liver tastes, and the beauty liver is a must." ”

He Yanran heard that this guy was really a scoundrel, he had been hanging him for so long just now, and he didn't have the slightest nervousness, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to me, it's good at this time, he wants to take advantage of me when he speaks, it's really hateful, "It turns out that Mr. Li is also a gourmet, and he must know a lot about Jingsu cuisine?" ”

"Gourmets can't talk about it, and Jingsu cuisine can't talk about understanding, compared to Sister Yanran, it's a world of difference." Li Mobai didn't care about He Yanran's provocation at all, admitted that he didn't understand, and picked up a piece of squirrel fish and ate it deliciously.

"Li Mobai, are you sure that you are the pavilion master of Bogu Pavilion?" He Yanran no longer called Mr. Li at this time, but called Li Mobai's name.

"Pavilion Master, it doesn't matter to me, if Sister Yanran likes it, I'll let it go to you!" Li Mobai looked at He Yanran and said unhurriedly.

When He Yanran heard Li Mobai's words, she was already speechless with anger, she was going to give this guy a dismissal, but she didn't expect to let this guy scream one sister after another, and at this time she also said wild words, let it be to yourself.

"It's not better to concede, are you worried that you won't look good if you lose!"

"Sister Yanran, you are wrong, eldest brother, I have never cared about false fame, and even if I lose to a delicate little beauty like you, there is nothing to be ashamed of, didn't the ancients say that it is also romantic to die under the pomegranate skirt!" Li Mobai said again, with a look of banter.

"Li Mobai, why don't we practice tomorrow at the Confucius Temple Antique Market and see which of us can find treasures?" He Yanran said in her heart, I still don't believe it, how can I take advantage of my home field.

"Taobao, I also want to go, but I'm going to pay homage to Mr. Zhongshan, the father of the country, tomorrow, and I also want to go to Yuhuatai to pay tribute to those deceased heroes, if Sister Yanran is free, it's better to have one."

He Yanran was secretly annoyed when he heard this, why didn't this guy get in with oil and salt, he was not a man at all, and he didn't have a sense of competitiveness like that unpromising Shang Shan, how to manage Bogu Pavilion, it seems that I really want to compete with this guy.

"Li Mobai, I want to challenge you! If you can find more treasures than me in the Confucius Temple tomorrow, or even pick up a big leak, I can not only call you Brother Li, but also accompany you throughout the whole process, but if you lose, you will withdraw from the competition for candidates, what do you think? ”

"It's a good thing, but Sister Yanran, do you really think you can win me?" Li Mobai pretended to be serious and said.

"Of course, Li Mobai, do you dare to fight?"

"Don't dare!" Li Mobai picked up the wine glass and took another sip of wine, and said honestly.

Hearing Li Mobai say that he didn't dare, He Yanran's eyes were round in surprise, her little mouth was round, she didn't know what to say, she was stunned for a long time before she said, "Li Mobai, are you a man?" ”

"Well, you don't need to know if it's a man, right?" Li Mobai smiled.

"Li Mobai, you are not a man, you dare not accept the challenge!" He Yanran didn't pay attention to the hidden meaning in Li Mobai's words.

"Not daring to accept challenges doesn't mean you're not a man, you're still young, and you don't understand a lot of things!"

"Li Mobai, you remember, I, He Yanran, will definitely not let you sit in the position of pavilion master easily." He Yanran finally understood the meaning of Li Mobai's words, stopped talking angrily, and then competed with the dishes on the table.

He Ping saw that He Yanran, who was extremely arrogant and pampered at home, was deflated in front of Li Mobai, and couldn't help but increase his reverence for Li Mobai in his heart.

After fighting with the dishes on the table for a while, He Yanran got up and said, "Li Mobai, you wait, see how you lose in a few days!" With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don't mind, Sister Yanran, I remember what He Ping said just now was that Sister Yanran was holding a banquet, you have to wait for the guests to finish eating before leaving, this is the most basic etiquette!" Li Mobai looked at He Yanran, who turned around to leave, and said.

"Li Mobai, don't call Yanran sister one by one, you can call anyone you want, but don't call me!" After saying that, he pushed open the door of the private room and walked out.

"It seems that Sister Yanran is determined to leave, and I can't keep that brother, but remember to pay when you leave, so that it is in line with the demeanor of being a master.!"

"Yo, what a coincidence, Miss Yanran is also eating here?" At this moment, a person who was talking about Jianye's official words said outside.

"What a coincidence, my boyfriend and I are eating here, what does it matter to you!" After He Yanran saw the comer, her eyes turned to her heart, and she said arrogantly.

Hearing He Yanran's words, He Ping was shocked, and said in his heart that this aunt seemed to be going crazy, and hoped that nothing would happen. Li Mobai also heard the conversation at the door, but his face was calm, and he also wanted to see which one He Yanran was going to sing again.

"Yanran, when did you get a boyfriend, why didn't I know?"

"Hmph, why do you know who you are?"

"In that case, I'd like to see where your boyfriend is." The man in Nanjing's official dialect walked in as he spoke.
