Zhou Dòngtian admits that this inference is not bad, but it is of no use to them. Reasoning is based on a wealth of information. They were completely ignorant of the various local figures in Hangzhou, and there could be hundreds or thousands of people who fit Zhao Yinggong's inference. Confucian scholars give themselves names and names like eating cabbage, and there may be three or four or even a dozen of them in a person, who knows who this "dragon sleeping fool" is.

Permission said suddenly; "Could it be Zhang Dai who passed by just now?"

Judging from Zhao Yinggong's inferred personal situation, Zhang Dai is quite consistent. But Zhao Yingong denied his speculation. He had read "Tao'an Dream Memory", and remembered that Zhang Dai's character was "Zongzi", and the number was Tao'an, Tiansun, Die'an layman, etc., that is, there was no dragon sleeping fool.

"Let's go back to find this "Jinshen" Zhao Yinggong sighed, "We know too little about the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty. It's just a glimpse. ”

Zhou dòng Tian sneered; "It's not interesting to know so much, anyway, the cannon will clean the ground as soon as it is washed, what do you do with so many huāhuā cannons?"

A few people continued to watch on the lù platform for a while, and the fresh energy passed, and then they returned to the cabin. Merlin was no longer so inhibited, and was talking to Mei Yan'er about the Buddhist statues of the "Three Days Zhu"—a little bit of the pimp he had heard in an elective class when he was in school years ago. Mei Yan'er not only listened carefully, but also said a few words. Zhao Yinggong was secretly surprised; The high-level prostitutes of this time and space are really a little level. No wonder Yu Eshui said in the course of the training course; The wealthy people of the Ming Dynasty patronized the Xingyuan, mainly to live a "community jiāo life".

It was almost noon, Mei Niang had already brought the maid in with a tray, and asked the guests what kind of wine they were drinking while laying out the mat?

"I have rare good wine here, and I still have it through talent. Would you like to try it? ”

Zhao Yinggong saw that four jīng zhi table plates had been laid on the table, and immediately smiled; "Oh? What good wine is so rare? Is it so difficult to find in this best place in the south of the Yangtze River? ”

"It came from Guangli, and it is said that foreigners make good wine." Mei Niang said, "Not to mention the advantage of the wine, the bottle of wine is also priceless!" Now the big guy who is not in power can nòng not be big・・・・・・"

Having said this, Zhao Yinggong already understood that it must be Guo Yi's "sī wine". I can't imagine that this prostitute on Xizi Lake can be unparalleled in the country! This wine is very difficult to get even in Guangzhou -- Guo Yi was originally engaged in "hunger sales", taking the route of high-end gifts, and the output was very small. After the destruction of the brewery in Guangzhou last year, it has just been restored and the production is even lower.

He said at the moment; "Guoshi Wushuang xìng Zi is too strong, now that the weather is hot, it is better to use some light Shao wine."

Mei Niang smiled; "Okay, there is also a haode Lanling wine in the slave house, which is ten years old, so it will be opened for the master." He is also modest and has a simple kitchen on the ship, and there is no good food to entertain guests.

Eight kinds of jīng chic appetizers are brought to the table, four meat and four vegetarian dishes. The snow-white Jiangmi lotus root, the bright red Jinhua fire tuǐ, the yellow Chengcheng jī pine, and the red watermelon cake look ・・・・・・pleasing to the eye.

The wine was also hot, and immediately ate and drank the order, and listened to Mei Yan'er sing a few songs, and the words were crepe with a southern accent, except for Zhao Yinggong, everyone didn't understand it, but they just thought the song was good, and Hu Luàn praised a few words.

Zhang Dai's boat was on the lake less than 200 meters away from them at this time. After Wu Zhixiang arrived in Hangzhou, he heard that Zhang Dai was quite influential in the Fushe, and knew that he loved to be lively, liked to play with instruments, and had a strong interest in new things. changed the original jihua, and first focused on encircling Zhang Dai in Hangzhou.

Fortunately, Zhang Dai is not a cold and arrogant scribe, he usually acts freely and carelessly, and is a good friend. Wu Zhixiang didn't make much effort to introduce through an acquaintance and gave eight pots of Dutch tulips from Guangzhou. The rare "foreign huā" is very fond of Zhang Dai's spleen and stomach. He saw that the other party often respected him, and Wu Zhixiang was also good at talking, and brought a lot of anecdotes about Guangdong, especially the recent popular "Australian goods", so he gradually became enthusiastic about this new friend. , came and went, and the two became acquainted with each other.

At this time, Wu Zhixiang, Zhang Dai and a few friends were relaxing on the ship, and the eight pots of tulips that crossed the ocean were divided into two rows and displayed in front of the steps. The huā flowers of yàn are stretching their colorful huā petals under the sunny early summer sun. Bursts of huā incense wafted to the feast with the warm smoke. A few friends have already watched and admired it once -- those present are not amazed by the sè color of this exotic huā hui. Commenting on the fact that I took a boat out to visit the West Lake today, it was not to see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, nor to see the dragon boat, but to hold a "huā meeting" specially organized. Everyone also gave a few poems, and now while sitting and chatting, they continue to drink and enjoy huā.

At this time, the banquet cooked by Jīngxin, a master chef in Zhang's mansion, was already half-crippled. The mustache is cleaning up and laying out the newly acquired wine.

"Beauty is beautiful, but it's too vulgar." A scribe was already half-drunk, commenting on the pots of tulips in front of him, "Big red and rhubarb, fresh yàn dazzling, and an independent branch." This style is vulgar, and it lacks an elegant and light sè・・・・・・"

Zhang Dai didn't think so; "According to what you say, peonies and peony are also vulgar?"

He was a richly dressed Confucian with an intelligent and friendly face and a meticulously combed mustache on his chin.

"Although peony and peony are yàn, they are bright and bright, without any enchantment... ・・"This person is still talking about "vulgar yàn", "ya yàn", "zheng yàn", "demon yàn" and so on.

"I think my brother's words are biased, huā is different, but it is natural, why must there be anything high." It was Sun Chun who spoke. It's an ordinary Confucian student who doesn't look amazing.

Although his appearance is not amazing, he is a backbone member of the Restoration Society.

"That's not true"

The two men argued about it. Get up, Zhang Dai's face is already boring. He took out a dazzling red cherry from the Xuan porcelain bowl beside him, and plucked the green leaves on it in a lazy and elegant posture and put it in his mouth. Seeing Wu Zhixiang also sitting helplessly, he couldn't help but smile.

Zuihou, as usual, Zhang Dai came out to play a round game, saying that everyone has its own merits, and the viewers can have their own preferences, but in fact, it is not easy to calm down this controversy. After that, they shifted the topic from the tulips in front of them to "foreign goods".

"Speaking of this Western thing, it is not a golden vessel, but it is capable of charming." Zhang Dai said with a smile, "A few days ago, Mi Zhi lost a clairglass mirror on this lake, and he didn't find it when he sent someone to fish, and he was so annoyed that he didn't even want to stay in Hangzhou. ”

"Why is a clairvoyant mirror enough to go to the Catholic Church to find one?" The Confucian who was talking about tulips just now said. His name is Wen Huai, and he is the proliferation of Jiaxing Mansion.

"Although the clairvoyant mirror is not a treasure, it is not always available." Zhang Dai said, "I often go to the Catholic Church, and I also have a friendship with John Tang. According to him, this thing is also rare in the Franc machine, and you have to have a boat to bring a few of them. Where to look for it in the middle of time? ”

From the clairvoyant mirror to the recently popular Australian goods. Wu Zhixiang came from Guangzhou and brought a lot of "Australian goods". Recently, I often talk about all kinds of novelties of Australians, and I said to a rich child like Zhang Dai that ordinary foreign goods are not rare, but Wu Zhixiang took out a few "Australian goods" that opened his eyes and gave him a strong interest in Australians.

Wu Zhixiang talked about the ins and outs of the "Australians", their enjoyment of taking and all kinds of strange goods, which attracted several people to listen attentively. Although they didn't fully believe what Wu Zhixiang said, they had already seen all kinds of novelty goods of the Australians, so they were full of curiosity about this "Australia" that suddenly appeared.

"This Australian chōu water porcelain toilet, my brother really yearns for it." Zhang Dai said with a smile, "In the past, some people set up splendid chuáng couches in the toilet, put beautiful maids, and fried agarwood - it is nothing more than a thatched pit, where can it be so clean and refreshing." ”

"It's just that I've heard that it's not easy to build." Wu Zhixiang said, "In the past, there was a brother in Ziming Mansion who was the O Wang Inspector and Dang Kou who once entered Ziming Mansion and went to see his arrangement - it was really ingenious, and all kinds of ingenious means were really beyond people's reach. ”

At the moment, let's talk about the pipes that supply and drain water, the valves, the machinery used to supply water, and the water towers that store water. Wu Zhixiang was very curious about the facilities of Ziming Building, and had been asking Pei Lixiu in the past. After the Ziming Tower was sealed, he bought off the guards with his money, and made a special trip to go in and take a look at the Ziming Tower, inside and out. Now it's the beginning of the road.

Zhang Dai listened to it interestingly and said with a smile; "Fortunately, your words were not heard by the secret Zhi, otherwise you would have to hook him to Guangzhou immediately to take a look at this Western scenery!" He then shook his head, "If it weren't for the tiring journey, even my brother would have wanted to see all the rarities of this Australian." ”

"Why not?" Wu Zhixiang is now working Zhang Dai, and immediately said that as long as he intends to go to Guangzhou, he can stay in the "Humble House".

"・・・・・・As for the road, now there is a Weizhan Inn, whether it is a sedan chair or a boat, it is more convenient than in the past."

Zhang Dai was about to speak, but Wen Huai said; "Australians claim to be descendants of China, Miao descendants of the Great Song Dynasty, but they only focus on industry and commerce, and do their best to do some strange things. One by one is vulgar and unliterate, nòng is not gorgeous and unruly, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty will cry underground. ”！。
