Chapter 497: Water Puppet

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Uncle Huang's kindness, my nephew naturally remembers and understands, you are right, it is all for the dignity of the heavenly family." Aren't the banknotes in Nantong Lane the people who know the economy of the Great Song Dynasty the most? In the future, many businesses of Huangsong Bank will depend on Liu Xingshou......"

Shopkeeper Liu was so happy that he smiled, and he couldn't hold back if he wanted to: "Don't dare, don't dare, the villain is only the king's head." ”

Zhao Zongge's expression suddenly turned cold, a trace of tyranny flashed in his eyes, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye: "Erlang, business belongs to business, Ji Si Lao Tang is not easy to get along with, how long can you hold it down with those sesame petty officials in the Duyan Courtyard?" ”

The Salt Institute is an official salt management agency set up in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its main task is to set up a warehouse and hoard refined salt to stabilize the price of salt in Bianjing.

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "That's the official document that Tang Gong ordered to open a position that doesn't conform to the format, who is to blame?" Since Han Gong created the system, everything must be done according to the law, so as to prevent the slightest deterioration and stop the cheating. I think it's a good path, and I don't think it's a bad thing that Tsushiin can stick to its principles. ”

"You can't just go from power to bottom line just because you're in a hurry, right? Even if this lawsuit reaches the royal brother, the Duyan Yuan is not afraid. ”

Zhao Zongge finally nodded: "In this way, can Jingzhong let my uncle and nephew play as much as they want?" But now in Beijing, Old Man Tang is very loud in checking old accounts, and it will inevitably involve you and me. ”

"Second brother, according to me, just kick the old man away. The three divisions have been cheating for many years, what bad garbage is not? If you really want to be revealed to the world, how do people in the world think of the Great Song Dynasty? How to look at officials? How to see a doctor? I am a heavenly family, and I rule the world with scholars, and I still have to give me the dignity I should have......"

Zhao Hao sneered in his heart, Uncle Huang, what you are afraid of is that the bad things will come out, how does the world look at the old man of the clan?

But his face remained silent, and he pretended to be confused: "My nephew is young, and he has only served the imperial brother for a few years. ”

Seeing that Zhao Zongge's face was a little blue, Zhao Haocai smiled and said: "But the official family is new, just ask for a stable word, Uncle Huang This is an old opinion." Actually, this can be done in conjunction with banking affairs......"

Zhao Zongge was still a little worried: "I heard that Sima Stubborn Donkey deliberately went to Taijian to brush Tang Tietou's character once, and his influence in Taijiao ......"

Zhao Hao said with a smile: "Sima Junshi is not in his position now, and his energy is mainly to write books and tell history to the imperial brother. His political views are a little inconsistent with the imperial brother, and I think it is only a matter of time before he becomes a prince, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

Zhao Zongge said: "And the Queen Mother ......"

Zhao Hao sneered: "Fighting a tiger still requires brothers, and it mostly depends on father and son soldiers to go into battle." I have done my best for the Great Song Dynasty, and I will only be happy and encouraged, Uncle Huang, you think too much! ”

Zhao Zongge hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, that's it, I'll help Erlang to seek the Huangsong Bank, Erlang and I will seek Dazongzheng, and drive Old Man Tang down!" ”

Zhao Hao looked down on this vulgar and straightforward uncle, but he didn't bring it out on his face: "Then tomorrow, tomorrow we will launch together in Jinmingchi!" ”

On March 1, Jinmingchi and Qionglin Garden were officially opened to the public.

Jinming Pond is in the north of Shuntianmen Outer Street, about nine miles and thirty steps around, and there is a big lake with a diameter of seven miles in the west.

North and south of Qionglin Yuan Street, there will be a big event when the holy car is coming today.

This is a huge waterscape park, Su You came once when he was still in the middle of the imperial examination, and at that time he was only active in the Linshui Temple, and he had not yet swam in.

The Great Song Dynasty royal family is close to the people, Jinmingchi is open to the public from March 1 to April 8, and when the emperor comes to play, he does not martial law tourists, but because of the royal presence, there are many more programs, and it has become a live advertisement.

So at such times, the number of visitors is often twice as large as usual, and today is the first day of the park's opening, so it must be very lively.

The Linshui Palace is gorgeously decorated with flowers and brocade banners, and Su You, as a three-grade "heavy" minister, is accompaniing.

Linshui hall by the side of Jinming Pond, can have a panoramic view, Su You last time was a banquet outside the hall, now in the hall to enjoy the lake and water, feel different from the other.

Looking west by the pond of the Linshui Temple, there is a fairy bridge with a north-south span of about hundreds of steps in the distance, and the center is uplifted, like a flying rainbow.

The bridge deck is juxtaposed with three rainbows, the vermilion lacquer is arranged, the lower row of goose pillars is delicate and elegant, and the bridge arch and its own reflection in the water present a perfect circle.

On both sides of the bridge are small stalls of straw mats and tile pots, and you can throw money into the pots, and you can turn off money, clothes, and moves.

At the end of the north of the bridge, the five halls are arranged in the center of the peninsula that protrudes from the Jinming Pond, the four banks of the stone are opened, the back is to the main hall, the middle of the seat is set up in the royal house, the golden dragon bed of the vermilion lacquer, the clouds and water between the rivers, the dragon screen.

The most interesting thing is that the surroundings of the main hall are also forbidden to visit, the upper and lower corridors of the main hall are all the hooks and tricks of the money and food and the work of the entertainers, the left and right are listed, densely packed.

This place is very lively, tourists are still going, Hegai looks at each other, the sound of Hubo selling, noisy and noisy.

On the south side of the bridge, there is a Lingxing archway, the square gate passes, and two color buildings are opposed.

Today, there are competitions here, and the upper floors are the places where dignitaries and nobles go, and there are expo halls and prostitutes playing, and they are two high-end clubs.

In the east of the Linshui Palace, there is a high platform made of bricks and stones, and there is a wide and hundreds of zhang building on the high platform, where is the landmark building of Qionglin Yuan - Baojin Building.

Between Baojin Building and the main gate of Jinmingchi, it is more than 100 zhang wide, here is the east bank of Jinmingchi, enough for the use of riding and archery theater.

The walls near the water are all weeping poplars, and the two sides are colored sheds, you can rent a color shed, and watch the bidding by the water.

Outside the main entrance is a row of shopping streets, all of which are wine and food stores, Boyi households, artists, and quality warehouses. Until April 8th, it was a sea of joy.

Look to the extreme north, until the back gate of the big pond, which is also the west water gate of the Bianhe River.

There were no houses in that generation, but weeping poplars dipped in water, tobacco paved embankments, and tourists were scarce, but there were many people who loved fishing.

If you buy a brand at the pond office, that is, the Jinmingchi Park Management Office, you can catch a fish for a day, and after you catch a fish, you have to pay twice the market price before you can buy it. Then send it to the flag pavilion, you can put ballast on the spot near the water, in order to recommend the bottle, which is also a good taste and very popular.

Those who do not fish prefer to pay more and buy from anglers for a bite of freshness and the specialties of the royal gardens.

On weekdays, Jin Mingchi also has to train the navy, so there are many small dragon boats on the shore.

There is a big house on the north bank of the pond facing the five halls, it is a big dock, the emperor's big dragon boat, it is collected in it, and it is called "Ao House".

The line of sight was retracted from the spring scene, and around the water hall, there were the guards in charge of vigilance.

Kind of Xiaoba is among them, hairpin flowers, wearing a brocade twisted gold thread robe, a gold belt on the waist, holding a new golden gun that will be used as a prison to the inner government, a bow and sword with a Luluo patch treasure, a dragon and phoenix embroidered flag on his back, and a strong horse with a red tassel brocade bridle around him, just like the characters who walked down on the Meishan New Year painting, how festive and festive.

But the look on his face, uh, was still so good.

Seeing Su You looking at him strangely, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, Su You couldn't help laughing, raised his glass and saluted him.

In the water near the hall, there are four colorful boats lined up, and there are hundreds of dramas of various armies, all of which are big flags, lions and leopards, swords, barbarian cards, gods and ghosts, miscellaneous dramas and the like.

Next to it were two boats, both of which were military bands.

A small boat came from the side, the boat has a small color building, and there are three small doors downstairs, coming to the front of the water palace.

The musician on the boat made a speech to join the army, and then the command music sounded, and the middle door of the colorful building on the boat opened, and two small puppets slid out.

One was a little boy, who stopped at the stern of the boat and rowed a boat, and the other was an old man in white, holding a small fishing rod in his hand, and when he slid to the bow of the boat, he threw the rod into the water and began to fish.

Su You saw the novelty, this delicate thing is definitely the work of the supervisor, because this year it is all old things, even the gold gun in Chongyi's hand, and the gold belt around his waist are all re-polished and copper-plated, and he didn't even know about this puppet boat.

I have to ask when I go back, it's so interesting.

The boat went around several times, the second music sounded, and the puppet old man raised his hand, and actually fished out a fresh small fish from the Jinming Pond, hung it on the hook and shook its tail, causing the fishing rod in the old man's hand to tremble.

The music played again, the boat returned to the shed, and another boat sailed out.

It is still a puppet, with different movements, some building balls, some dancing and spinning, and each with a speech, singing harmony, and music matching.

Su You inquired about the old ministers around him, and only then did he know that this thing is called "water puppet", the puppet show of the Great Song Dynasty.
