Chapter 624: The First Flower Festival in Hangzhou (1)
The day of the Flower Festival is coming soon.
In such days, Wang Laohu's wives have their own affairs. Wang Qingqing and Xu Wan were pregnant, so they didn't dare to shuttle through the well market when there were many people like this. Bian Chengcheng and Feng Liuer were in Bian Yifang, and during the festival, I heard that a large number of people would pour into the city, and the business of Bian Yifang might be better.
But Wang Laohu is busy with the security of Hangzhou, of course, he only needs to arrange all this, and he does not need to come forward in person.
Flower Festival.
At this time, Hangzhou has become lively since the afternoon of the previous day, and many small traders and vendors have come from other places and set up small stalls in some major markets in Hangzhou, and the fruits or vegetables that are not usually available in Hangzhou have been put on the stalls. Some local jugglers have also arrived in Hangzhou one after another.
The streets of Hangzhou are full of vendors, and the inns in Hangzhou are also full all of a sudden, and the business in Hangzhou has never been so hot in the past few years, not only the innkeepers, but also other catering industries, the people seem to be very satisfied, and Hangzhou is prosperous at this time.
Wang Laohu took a dozen soldiers, as well as Feng Sheng, shuttled through the streets of Hangzhou, watched the juggling of the street market for a while, these difficult open-air performances on the knife mountain, climbing the vat, and walking the tightrope on the street, Wang Laohu was indeed the first time to see it, and he couldn't help but stand for a while.
Seeing the most wonderful part, Wang Laohu also applauded, after a program performance, a person in his forties came to ask for a reward from the surrounding people with a gong, the people threw the money to him, Wang Laohu also took out a few coins from his arms, threw them into the gong, and the old man kept thanking everyone.
Drunken Spring Tea House.
Wang Laohu sat down and drank tea with peace of mind, and at this time, Feng Sheng said, "Son, Miss Saiyun has arrived." ”
I saw a girl in a plain blue dress coming in from outside the curtain. Wang Laohu got up and said, "Miss Saiyun, accompany me for a while." ”
Saiyun said: "What day is today, the market will be so lively. ”
"It's lively, so I invite Miss Saiyun out of the inn, and let someone accompany you around in a while, the delicious and fun things from all over the Ming Dynasty have gathered in Hangzhou, and now you can taste these delicacies without leaving home."
"That's great, Wang Laohu, I want you to accompany me."
"Don't you see I'm busy?"
"I see you're very laid-back, aren't you drinking tea now?"
Wang Laohu smiled, he was indeed drinking tea now, this box was much quieter than outside, "Miss Saiyun, now sit down and drink a cup of tea, let me tell you, this West Lake Longjing in Hangzhou is a loud sign." ”
Before Wang Laohu's words were finished, Saiyun interjected: "What kind of tea are you drinking, let's go." Seeing that Wang Laohu was still not moving, she simply rushed up, grabbed Wang Laohu's hand and was about to leave.
Before Wang Laohu could put down the cup in his hand, he was caught by Saiyun.
The streets of Hangzhou are really crowded at this time, to be honest, it is indeed better not to go out, but the people love to be lively, crowded people, or drill this side vigorously. Wang Laohu asked his soldiers to push aside a crowd, but there were too many people, and it was always not possible to rely on this.
Wang Laohu said: "Miss Saiyun, you see this person is crowded, I am afraid that others will squeeze you." ”
"More people is fun, isn't it?" Saiyun was very happy, and said, "Wang Laohu, it's not fun for these of your subordinates to follow, so you and I go first, don't worry about them." ”
Wang Laohu said: "In the past few days, Hangzhou has been holding a flower festival, and there are so many people, if something happens on the street, my people will have to deal with this emergency." ”
"There are a lot of people who deal with things here, and it's not just you, what are the people in this government doing?"
Saiyun was about to rush forward as soon as he pulled up Wang Laohu, but seeing that he refused to go, Saiyun said: "You are a big man, and you are still like this, mother-in-law, go quickly." ”
Wang Laohu couldn't resist it, so he said: "Don't worry, when I explain the matter, I will go with you." ”
He said to Feng Sheng: "Don't follow me, just take a look around here." ”
"But Childe, the personnel in Hangzhou today are complicated, I'm afraid." Feng Shengdao.
"This is Hangzhou, and along the way, there are soldiers everywhere, and it will be fine." Wang Laohu said.
"That son, you go first, and I'll take care of it."
After explaining to Feng Sheng, Wang Laohu and Saiyun squeezed into the crowd. Saiyun is a grassland native, she has never seen such a scene of so many people, she is very excited, and said to Wang Laohu: "Look, over there." ”
Wang Laohu looked around, it turned out to be a monkey performing in the air, only to see it quickly climbed the bamboo pole, to the crowd below to watch, but also free one hand, and the other hand on the bamboo pole to make a contact, hehe, the monkey will also applaud himself, this move, so that the crowd below can't help but cheer for it.
The monkey continued to climb up, and in a blink of an eye it reached the top of the bamboo pole, which it propped up with one hand and erected an upside down, such a wonderful performance caused bursts of applause below.
Wang Laohu just wanted to speak, but saw that the Mongolian woman had already squeezed forward again, Wang Laohu also hurriedly chased forward, the distance between the two was not far, but at this time, it would take some effort to move the distance not far.
Wang Laohu shouted, "Miss Saiyun, you go slowly." ”
Saiyun shouted not far away: "Wang Laohu, don't you hurry up." ”
Wang Laohu shook his head in the direction of Saiyun, and while squeezing towards the crowded place, Saiyun stood down in one place again, this is one
Where to sell silk umbrellas. I saw saffron umbrellas, placed on a wooden shelf, and a few open umbrellas, placed on the side of the stall.
Saiyun raised an umbrella, this umbrella is pink, and there are several gorgeous and open peonies painted on the umbrella surface, rose-red peonies, emerald green leaves, and a few butterflies with wings flying from time to time.
Saiyun said: "This umbrella is good. ”
"The girl has a good eye, my umbrellas here are all made in Suzhou. It is made of fine silk, and the workmanship is exquisite, and the stitching method is fine, and it is waterproof and shading. "Hawker Road.
Saiyun held the umbrella as if he couldn't put it down. Wang Laohu said: "The girl's house is the girl's house, this umbrella is green, can it keep out the rain?" ”
Saiyun turned his face and said, "What do you know, I have never seen such a fancy umbrella once." ”
The peddler also said: "This son, if your wife likes it, buy one." After this village, there is no such shop. ”
Wang Laohu said: "This little brother is really good at business, you say this, I don't want to buy it, I have to buy it." ”
The peddler smiled.
"Originally, giving an umbrella was a bad meaning, but what? Anyway, the relationship between you and me is also a dragonfly, so I'll send it to you. ”
"The implication is not good, what do you say is the bad meaning of the umbrella?" Saiyun Road.
The peddler smiled and said, "Don't listen to your nonsense, this umbrella is a mascot." In "The Legend of the White Snake", Xu Xian and the White Snake use umbrellas as love tokens. ”
Wang Laohu smiled, modern people think that umbrella and scatter are the same sound, and sending an umbrella is the meaning of scattering, which means unlucky, but Wang Laohu swallowed this word.
Saiyun smiled: "It turns out that it is because of this that you are unwilling to give me an umbrella." ”
Wang Laohu said: "Since you like it, then I will give it away." After speaking, Wang Laohu took out the money and paid for the umbrella.
Saiyun took the umbrella and continued to move forward towards the front side, under the festival of Hangzhou, there are many things to see, especially for Saiyun, who has just come to Hangzhou, there are many things to see.
"You slow down, you slow down." Wang Laohu followed behind, but she didn't expect that ancient women and modern women, the same, shopping is not up and down at all, this street is a piece of cake for her, as if she will not be tired at all. Modern women are clothes, cosmetics, snacks. Ancient women are also like these, and there are some knick-knacks.
Saiyun watched the gadgets in front of these stall vendors, whether it was hairpins or bracelets, he didn't let them go. And the things on the stall in this matter are very cheap, knowing that he is fake, this woman is still happy to see it.
"I said you're a woman, can you slow down." After accompanying her for a few hours, Wang Laohu felt obviously tired, and his legs were sore.
