Chapter 316: Journey to the Lonely Mountain
It's a trip. Naturally, there is no need to hug back and forth. The two of them walked out the back door and walked side by side on the street, which smelled of wet dew, as if it had been drizzling last night. The breeze lifted the corners of the two of them, outlining the most elegant of this morning
γ
To avoid trouble. Chu Zhen asked Chu'er to change into men's clothes, only to see her pretty face like a pearl, her eyes like stars, two slender eyebrows flowing like flying, her face is almost indescribable, walking on the street, especially attracting the attention of others, especially the hearts of the young girls, also turned into wisps of love silk, wrapped around her body.
Hangzhou as the first state group in the southeast, is not a waste of fame, from the population and economic aspect, although far less than Tokyo Bianliang, but compared with other Luzhi provincial capitals, there is absolutely a victory and no more, located in the east, connecting the north and south, facing the west, there are ports to foreign countries, the geographical location is very important, the road is endless, and the scenery is beautiful; Thanks to Liu Yong's first sea tide, the southeast shape wins, and the three Wu will be. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, and it can be said that the world knows it.
However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, among Hangzhou, the most famous is not the West Lake and the Qiantang River tide, but a lonely mountain and a hermit, the lonely mountain is the name of the mountain, just next to the north of the West Lake, the hermit is named Lin Tong, when he first heard this name, Chu Zhen did not know which way he was a fairy, it seemed to be a little impression, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
However, when others mentioned the plum wife and crane, and the sentence "The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk", Chu Zhen suddenly realized that it was him, and the name was not clear, but this poem and that allusion, Chu Zhen did not dare to forget, after all, the first contact with the ancient poem of plum blossoms was to take the mountain garden Xiaomei as an example. And it was only then that I learned the story of Mei's wife and crane, but after a long time, Lin Tong's name appeared less often in textbooks, so it was naturally a little light
γ
But in the Song Dynasty, Lin Tou's reputation was definitely not inferior to anyone's, even Fan Zhongyan couldn't hide his demeanor, because he was a hermit, a real hermit, since he lived in seclusion in West Lake. A hermit who has been less than half a step in the city for more than 20 years.
I don't know when the court and literati always reported an inexplicable mentality towards hermits, probably with Tao Yuanming as a reference object, thinking that hermits must be talented and virtuous people, and people are very keen to interact with them, especially the emperor, if he hears that there are hermits, he will inevitably send someone to visit him, and at the same time give him an official position.
Because in the impression of the world, only when the emperor was unethical and politically mediocre, the virtuous and virtuous people did not want to go along with him, so he chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, and the emperor was of course unwilling to bear the infamy of Jiang, so regardless of whether his behavior was misconductful, he had to take active measures.
Or it is for this reason that there is no shortage of so-called hermit masters in all dynasties, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and naturally there are some people who sell their fame and reputation, saying that they are hidden in the mountains and forests, and do not ask about the world, but as soon as the emperor's will comes, he will rush to become an official.
This kind of person is deeply ashamed of the scholars, but Lin Tong is not, when Song Zhenzong heard about his reputation, he rewarded Su Silk not to say, but also wanted to call him into the office, but Lin Tong was unmoved, politely declined, saying that his ambition is not in fame and wealth, but between the green mountains and green waters.
After all, some people often play this trick of wanting to catch and indulge, but until the sixth year of the Heavenly Sage, Lin Tong passed away, and he was still dressed in white clothes, and then the world finally woke up to it, this is the real hermit, and all kinds of reputations are desperately sprinkled on Lin Tong as if they don't want money.
The reigning Song Renzong Gangzhi. also sighed and gave Mr. Hejing a value. Since then, Lin Tong has become famous and everyone knows about it. When the scholars arrived in Hangzhou, if they didn't go to visit the tomb of Mr. Xia Hejing and the Hegao Hill on the side, wouldn't it be in vain, and Chu, as the magistrate of Qiantang County, had to go, so as not to be asked by others. But I can't answer, it's a shame.
The sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, and the weeping willows on both sides of the lake are combed by nature like a girl's hair, fluttering with the wind, graceful and colorful. Or maybe it's because it's been a long time since this warm weather. The upstream people on the side of the West Lake are constantly coming and going, and when they saw Chu Zhen and Chu'er walking side by side, they all stopped to sigh at their handsomeness.
The two were holding hands, but when they found that many people were watching, Chu'er was a little shy, afraid that someone would see the clues. The little hand that was tired of being slender hurriedly broke free from Chu Zhi's grasp, and hung his head shyly.
Fortunately, in front of the public, Chu Zhen also knew that he should pay attention to the influence, and he was not interested in being a monkey, so he immediately smiled and proposed: "Chu'er, there are still more than 20 miles to Gushan this trip, and you have to go around most of the West Lake." Why don't we take a boat and take the opportunity to enjoy the West Lake
Chu'er naturally has no opinion. Seeing this, Chu Zhen stopped, came to the edge of the West Lake, stretched out his hand and greeted him from afar, not long after. A boat with a canopy slowly sailed and stopped on the shore, the boatman was a young man, and when he saw Chu Zhen and Chu'er, he couldn't help but have his eyes lit up, and secretly applauded the extraordinary appearance of the two, but he didn't forget his own work, he made a fat move, and said with a smile: "The two sons have a good demeanor, but they don't know where to go?" β
"Go to Lonely Mountain, how do you count the money?. Chu asked, stepped on the deck of the boat first, and then stretched out his hand and carefully picked up Chu'er.
"Thirty dollars for one person. And the two sons together, the fifty dollars are enough. The family smiled.
"If you charter your boat. So what? Chu asked, not to mention that the workshop business is prosperous, it is its own money, and it is enough for him to squeeze into the middle class, so naturally he doesn't have to be stingy, if he doesn't know how to support the boat, Chu Zhen also wants to buy the boat and take the beauty to the lake alone, you are like me, wouldn't it be more comfortable.
"Five hundred dollars is fine." When he met the big customer, the young boatman smiled brighter and brighter.
Five hundred dollars, as long as you carry seventeen or eighteen guests can be this number, the price seems to be cheap, the boatman seems to suffer a loss, but there are many guests on the lake, but there are more boatmen who eat this line of food, the competition is fierce, sometimes it may not be able to carry ten people a day, it is better to package it to the big customer.
With a lot of money, naturally the wealth is thick, and Chu Zhen is not bargaining. Nodding in agreement, but he was not a money-throwing gentleman, he took out a string of money from his arms, untied the rope that tied the money, and took off half of the amount. didn't count it in detail, handed it directly to the boatman, and said with a smile: "This is the deposit, and the rest of the amount will be with you when I return." β
It was the natural boatman who handed over the copper coin, estimated it, and estimated that there were about more than 100 or 200 amounts, carefully put it in his arms and hid it closely, and said with a smile on his face: "And please sit down tightly, a certain family is going to start the pole." β
The boat is a little simple, but it is well-organized, and there is a pot on the small table, and next to it, there is a pottery that is boiling with charcoal. The flat stream is hot and rising, and the mist is full of lightβ»
"Two sons, the water in the pot is taken from Hupao Spring, it is very sweet, and you can drink it with confidence.
γ Perhaps it was a reminder from the rich boys, literati and scholars who had received many rich men and rich boatmen, and then picked up a long bamboo pole and broke a wave pattern in a small boat on the shore, and sailed briskly towards the lake.
Hupao Spring, located next to Daci Temple in the southwest of Hangzhou, according to legend, is the two tigers plow the ground as a crypt, the clear spring water gushes out immediately, has the reputation of the third spring in the world, its name is naturally clear, although I don't know whether the water boiled in the boat pot is really taken out from the Hupao Spring, but at least it is also the general mountain spring water.
But to be honest, for Chu Zhen, who has been drinking tap water for more than ten years. Whether it is the spring water of the famous mountain or the water of the general lake well, it is so pure and natural, pollution-free and luscious, there is no difference.
After sitting down, Chu'er divided the cups, took a towel cloth as a pad, stretched out his wrist like clotted white jade, picked up the steaming clay pot, tilted it slightly, soaked the cup with boiling water for a while, processed it cleanly, and took out a palm-sized fine wooden box from his pocket, which contained tea balls that had been ground into powder.
Using a small spoon to divide some tea foam into the cup, Chu'er lifted the clay pot beautifully, and a silver-white water column was slowly poured into the cup from top to bottom. The water splashes everywhere, the boiling water in the pot turns into a blue color, the fragrance lingers, and the first child sits next to each other, the slight fragrance comes to the face, but the smell in the nose of Chu quality does not know whether it is the fragrance of tea or the fragrance of the girl's body, and it is intoxicating.
After drinking a few cups of hot tea, the two of them felt that the narrow canopy was a little stuffy, and it was not conducive to enjoying the beautiful scenery in the lake, so they simply came to the bow of the boat hand in hand. At this time, the scorching sun is obliquely shining in the sky, and the lake is shining with gold. The birds are whirling, the cry is loud, the lake is clear and blue, and the sky is connected, quite has the meaning of autumn water and the sky is the same color.
The beautiful scenery is natural, but the two of them are reunited, better than a newlywed, there is endless tenderness and sweetness, where is the mood to watch what scenery, side by side with the boat family sitting close to the side, although there are boats shuttling in the vast lake, but the distance is relatively large, and there is no fear of others finding out what kind of action.
After more than ten minutes, under the skillful support and control of the boatman. The boat arrived at the destination briskly, slowly docked under the corner of the lonely mountain, the boat ran aground, touched the shore lightly, and woke up a pair of mandarin ducks.
Chu Zhen took the lead in standing up, held Chu'er's soft hand, pulled it up slightly, turned back to the boatman and said, "Let's go up the mountain for a while, and you wait here." β
"Feel free to do so, two sons." The boatman laughed.
In these years, the people's hearts are simple, and they are on the ground of Qiantang. Chu Zhen was not worried about the boatman taking the money and ran away and jumped on the shore carefully, and then beckoned Chu'er half-supported and half-hugged, regardless of the boatman's surprised gaze. Holding the beautiful woman with a beautiful face, she walked along the mountain road and disappeared into the dense forest in a moment.
"It's a pity, two handsome sons, it's actually that kind of relationship." The boatman sighed, but he didn't forget to take out the deposit given by Chu Qian, hid in the canopy, and counted it carefully.
The mountains and forests are quiet, and there are always some bright flowers dotted among the verdant and dense forests, and the sun is no longer as dazzling and scorching as the summer day, and the sun penetrates the cotton wool-like cirrus clouds in the sky, and then passes through the lush leaves. All that fell through the sift was a little bit of golden light, and the mountain wind blew. The green foliage is swaying with the breeze, which is cool and pleasant.
The two of them walked on the mountain path, and they didn't feel the slightest stuffiness, especially the deep forests in the mountains and the winding paths. The road, hundreds of thousands of people come in, I am afraid that they only hear their voices, and they do not see their people, it is a good place for a natural tryst, of course Chu Zhen will not let go of such a good opportunity, and he pulled Chu'er to deliberately go to the quiet place in the forest.
Coming to an inaccessible place, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, sprinkled on Chu'er's beautiful face, a slight flush increases her bright color, Chu Zhen is excited, hugs her soft waist, lowers her head, sipps two plump lips, and slides her hands to the sensitive parts, causing her delicate body to tremble. Like a leaf shaking in the wind.
It's a pity that the location is not suitable, Chu Zhen does not have the habit of sitting in the open air, I don't know how long it has been lingering, he reluctantly raised his head, hugged Chu'er's soft body, and returned along the same road, and at this time, Chu'er's whole body strength seems to have been exhausted, like spring snow under the hot sun, which is slowly melting. Limp in Chu Zhi's arms, plain white arms around his neck, the towering and straight peaks fluctuated with his breathing, and his eyes were shiny and silky like water.
After walking for a few minutes, watching Chu Zhi's forehead gradually sweat, Chu'er took out a fragrant silk scarf from his arms. Wipe it gently for him, and at the same time say with some distress: "Childe, let Chu'er come down." β
Although the beauty is as soft as a flocculent, but after holding it for a long time, not only does it feel like her lower body, her arms are still a little weak, and Chu Zhen is not a character who wants to save face and suffer from sin, but she hesitated, immediately put her down quietly, and only walked a few steps, but Chu'er pulled Chu Qian's sleeve, and a gorgeous red glow flew up her pretty face.
"What's wrong?. Chu Zhen was a little incomprehensible, and under the hint of Chu'er's squeak, he suddenly discovered the problem, and his handsome face was slightly red with embarrassment.
Chu's appearance was originally delicate and handsome, and he was graceful, and after dressing up, he was well-dressed, and he became more and more chic and extraordinary, but now there is a high place in the middle of the robe, like holding an umbrella. It was very indecent, and even silently recited a few words of ice heart, the anger dissipated, and the lower body slowly recovered as before. Chu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards his destination with Chu.
Before coming. Chu Zhen has already asked someone to inquire about the direction. Walking along the mountain road, I soon came to the place where Lin Tong knotted to live, although the house was simple, but it was quite elegant, next to it was where Lin Tong's grave was, just a small protruding hill, and there was nothing extraordinary, if you had to say that there were different sides. That is, there is a mound next to the tomb.
Legend has it that Lin Tong's talent and character are noble, attracting many literati and scholars. They either admired Lin Tong's poem name, or admired Lin Tong's sentiments and visited, Lin Dun was very polite to these people, because of seclusion, he usually either went up the mountain to get medicine, plant plums, or go to the lake to fish. Or visit friends to talk about poetry, afraid that the guests themselves are not there, so they specially raised a white crane and named it Hegao.
There are guests to visit, the boy releases the crane, the sensible crane Gao will fly to the sky above the West Lake, on the top of the lonely mountain, keep circling, chirping, looking for the trace of the master, Lin Dun heard the crane, then knew that there were guests at home, and immediately returned home to receive the guests, and after Lin Tong died, the psychic crane Gao also died of sorrow, and the descendants of the Lin family took pity on him. He was buried next to Lin Tong, and this is where the small mound came from.
