Chapter 48: Mountains and rivers meet
Outside Luoyang City is Luoshui.
Luoshui is a branch of the Yellow River.
At a glance, it is still a vast and boundless Daze.
The boats are crowded, sailing in the middle of the river, and the sails are lined up, covering the sky and the sun.
The riverside is lined with willows and grass.
A long bridge leading directly to the main entrance of the palace lies across the Luoshui, and the bridge is bustling with people and vehicles.
Since Empress Wu stayed in Luoyang for a long time, this palace in Luoyang has become the core of the Tang Dynasty.
This bridge is called "Tianjin Bridge", because it is connected to the main gate of the imperial city, every morning, the dawn moon is still high in the air, and the bridge is full of traffic, so it becomes a scene in Luoyang, called "Tianjin Xiaoyue".
On the edge of Luoshui, it is quiet and quiet.
In an open space on the bank of the river, bamboo poles were inserted into the ground, and a cloth fence was enclosed next to the river.
The cloth bib only releases the side near the river to watch the scenery, and the cloth blows the basket and plucks the gonghou, and the sound of singing and music is faintly heard.
It seems that a large family is here to spend spring.
In another place outside Baizhang, there is also a cloth fence, but there are still dozens of steps away from the river bank.
Some of the servants were steaming and cooking outside the cloth fence, preparing all kinds of delicacies, and the aroma of meat wafted in the wind.
In the open space in front of the cloth bib, there are two strong men wrestling.
In the midst of the tent sat three women.
If Li Xingzhou is here, he will definitely recognize it.
The middle-aged woman who is about 50 years old, her appearance is only in the middle and lower, and her figure is already blessed.
It's like that Mrs. Wang.
Next to her was still the young man with clear eyebrows, and his face was also lightly powdered.
It turned out that the boy accidentally stepped on the Persian cat fed by Mrs. Wang that day.
Later, the young man swallowed his anger, repeatedly flattered, coquettishly behaved, and finally had to do his best on the couch.
finally coaxed Mrs. Wang to turn her anger into joy and no longer resent, and Zhang Yizhi relieved her heart.
In order to make Mrs. Wang happy.
A few days later, he invited Mrs. Wang to go on a trip with several noble ladies with whom she had a close personal relationship, and the place of the trip was not too far away, just on the edge of Luoshui.
Inside the tent, three women were sitting on a felt carpet and playing a game of drinking.
The servants waited in all directions.
Although the young man was very much liked by Mrs. Wang, he was not qualified to sit, but sat and waited with his subordinates.
In the middle of the three women, there is a jade tortoise, and the blue tortoise carries a high candle-shaped tube.
The entire jade turtle and candle-shaped tube are carved from a complete piece of jade, and the tube is also carved with lotus-shaped button petals.
A woman pulled out a long jade chip, looked at the words engraved on the jade chip, and smiled.
"Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself, let it go! Haha, I don't have to drink this round. ”
Although this woman was beautifully dressed and skillfully powdered, she still couldn't hide her old state, just because she was well-maintained.
So her skin is relatively delicate, and she wears a jet-black wig on her head to cover the white hair, so she looks younger.
However, the years were not forgiving, after all, she was a woman in her sixties, and the wrinkles on her face were as clear as the engravings on the turtle's back.
Madame Wang smiled and looked cautiously at the other girl.
The young girl was lying on the couch, dressed in a red peony shirt.
Draped over a white gauze dress, under which she wore a pink narcissus scattered green leaf skirt with pleated skirts.
Illuminated by the sun, she fell to the ground like snow and moonlight, making her graceful and feminine figure even more sexy and attractive.
The mature and delicate girl was not dressed like the old woman, but her beautiful black hair was tied up with a hairband, and the two strands of green silk hung down on her shaved shoulders.
Hiding her slightly stiff chin, which is slightly wider, is pointy, and the charm becomes playful.
Her forehead was broad and white, like a beautiful jade.
Especially her skin, which is as white and tender as a newborn baby, and her rosy and full lips are even more delicate.
The autumn wind blowing from the Luo River brought a burst of osmanthus fragrance.
also gently lifted her skirt from time to time, so that the pair of smooth and beautiful jade-like calves secretly walked out to breathe.
The most beautiful is not necessarily the most feminine, and she is full of femininity.
Her facial features and posture seem to have grown to suit the tastes of men, and when people see her, they will suddenly feel a sense of wanting to love and care for her.
The fair-skinned and broad-fronted charming young woman ignored the old woman's laughter, she raised her head slightly, listened to the neighing of horses from the people outside the tent, frowned slightly, and said unhappily.
"It's not even clean here."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile.
"Ignore what you do to him. Autumn is high and cool, there are naturally many tourists, and we are just happy with ourselves. ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand lightly, took out a jade chip from the jade tube, and took a closer look, but it was engraved
"There are friends from afar, and they are happy, and they are five points on the guests."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar."
"Hehe, this is providence. Princess, drink half a cup of your own. ”
The young woman in red lazily picked up the jasper glass, gently sipped half a glass of wine, put down the glass, took out a chip, squinted and glanced up like a Persian cat, and said.
"No, take the float in the sea, drink ten points."
"Yikes! Is this wine a recognition of my house today? ”
The sixty-year-old woman sitting above her laughed, raised the flask, filled her with a jasper cup, and said with a smile.
"Today's wine feast is designed for you to relax, and even the heavens have realized the kindness of our waiting."
"Hehe, in that case, the princess should have another drink!"
The young woman in red was not afraid to drink, and she took up her cup and drank it all again.
。。。
。。。
Mountains and rivers meet.
If the mountain does not go, the water will go to the mountain, and the water will go to the mountain.
As long as you have a heart, you will always meet.
At this time, another group of people came, fresh clothes and angry horses, and at first glance, they were either rich or expensive.
The strong men who accompanied them were rough and majestic, with three young men and a young girl in the middle, and the crotch was also a majestic horse.
The boys and women wore brocade hats, robes with narrow sleeves with lapels, and a pair of black deerskin boots under their feet.
It's just a young man at the head, at first glance, he has a bit of the background of a son, although he is riding on a horse, but he is still holding a gold-painted fan, and his posture is thin and straight.
At a glance, it is like a Zhilan jade tree, the light wind and the moon, indescribable noble and elegant, poetic and picturesque.
The one in the middle, with a Chinese face, thick lips, and big and bright eyes, looks like a real person.
He has a dignified body and a dignified appearance. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint
At a glance, his chest is broad and has the majesty of being invincible. The bones are strong and the muscles are strong, such as shaking the ground and Pixiu coming to the seat.
The posture of the middle and upper is very attractive,
The last person has a melancholy temperament, and the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth are just right, and he is impeccablely handsome.
The young man has a slender figure, a thin waist and ape arms, bright eyes like stars, and a nose like a hanging gall, with a bit of a man's handsome and heroic spirit.
And the last girl was shorter than him, petite, with bright eyes and bright teeth, because she was dressed in men's clothes, she looked more handsome.
The two in front are the big bear and the persimmon.
The pair of teenagers in the back are Li Xingzhou and Wei Hanshuang.
They stopped by the Luoshui water, looking like they were going to enjoy the scenery and have a picnic here.
The place they had chosen happened to be in the middle of the two tents.
Li Xingzhou and Wei Hanshuang and his party rushed to the Luoshui River to stop, and the people began to get busy. Others unloaded bamboo mats, felt blankets, and various utensils from the car and arranged them.
Li Xingzhou's restaurant made money, so he arranged for Da Xiong to hire a few servants.
There are a group of idlers wandering around Luoyang City, and some of them are evil.
Sometimes they will extort some food from the shopkeeper, but there is not much of it, and the crime is not big, so that although the shopkeeper is dissatisfied, he has nothing to do with them.
Because they can't be sentenced for such crimes, once they sue the official, they will only cause more trouble for themselves.
They are experts on the verge of breaking the law and committing crimes, and they are very good at judging the difference.
Sometimes, they will also do things that really violate the criminal law, collect money from people, eliminate disasters for others, and work hard for people with white knives in and red knives out, acting as a cheap thug.
Although they are the shameless scoundrels of some people, as long as they take over the deal, even if the situation is unfavorable, they will never be afraid to run away at this time.
Gentlemen make promises, and these idle men in the market are even more important, because faith and righteousness are the whole value of their survival.
If they lose even their "faithfulness," they will really have nothing left, and they will completely disappear even the foundation of their existence.
Li Xing's pedestrian came to Luoyang on Monday, naturally not to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
They have some secrets that Cui Quan can't be humane.
Naturally interested in these scoundrels.
So, Li Xingzhou arranged for Da Xiong to get acquainted with these people.
Unexpectedly, the big bear relied on the fighting methods practiced by the Orion family to fight in this group of splashes.
These people are all evil and scoundrels, and they are naturally not people with great skills, but the gangsters who can stand out from them must have their extraordinary.
I didn't expect you to be such a big bear.
Their arrival did not attract the attention of Mrs. Wang, there were many people who came to play by the Luoshui River, and who had the leisure to care about who had set up the tent next to them.
Li Xing's tent set up by pedestrians on Monday was between the two tourists who were walking on the autumn and enjoying the water, and on their right was where Mrs. Wang was, and on the left side of the tent was another group of tourists.
At this time, Li Xingzhou's side was surrounded by a cloth spree, a felt blanket was laid out, a seat, a cushion, and a table were placed, the food box was opened, and various foods such as Bi Luo and Hu cakes were put on it, and wine, Sanle pulp, cheese and other drinks had been put away.
The vessels they used were either gold or silver.
The Tang people like to be prosperous, they are not afraid of being red and purple in their clothes, and they are not tired of gold and silver treasures, for fear that the mention of a "gold" word will be contaminated with the cheesy fake Qinggao, and there is no market here in the Tang Dynasty.
The eight-sided gold cup decorated with the image of Hu Ren, the silver plate engraved with tortuous and thick geometric patterns, put it on several cases, the gold and silver complement each other, and it looks magnificent.
Li Xingzhou looked at the busy Wei Hanshuang, persimmon and big bear, and suddenly felt bored.
