Twenty political calendars, thirty autumns of eunuch travel.

The rivers and mountains and the wind and the moon, the most remembered is Hangzhou.

North Guo sand embankment, West Lake stone shore head.

The green spring sends off guests, and the red candle returns to the boat at night.

Don't dare to say that you will lose your love, and you will miss the old tour.

With Jun chanting this sentence, the title is to Wangtao Tower.

Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Sending the Title of Yuhang County Building and Presenting Pei Envoy Jun", "The rivers and mountains and the wind and the moon, the most remembered is Hangzhou". Sima Qingshan has seen the beautiful scenery all over the world, but he is the most nostalgic for Hangzhou, which shows the weight of Hangzhou's scenery in his heart.

The word "Hangzhou" in the poem is the temporary place of residence since the Song Dynasty moved south, and the capital city is Lin'an.

Suzhou and Hangzhou are the "land of fish and rice", prosperous since ancient times. The Song Dynasty moved south, after several twists and turns, the capital of Hangzhou, renamed Lin'an Mansion, Lin'an became the political, economic and cultural center of the Song Dynasty, all walks of life, all kinds of people gathered, Lin'an was prosperous, and one day was better than one day.

At the beginning of August, after Yang Congyi left Huaining, he traveled eastward from Chizhou across the Yangtze River, and then went eastward along the official road to Xuanzhou.

This journey is nearly 2,000 miles, he has limited money and does not dare to buy a horse to travel, all on two legs, when the weather is good, he can travel more than 100 miles a day, and he can only stop in place in the event of heavy rain. Fortunately, this road is all official roads, the more east, the more pedestrians, but he did not dare to be careless, did not expose the limited money, when he needed money, he found a few copper coins, the road is also safe, did not delay too much time.

At the beginning of September, after arriving in Huzhou, Yang Congyi set up a few outfits.

I almost didn't change my clothes all the way from Huaining, and the clothes were also dirty and messy, and when I arrived near Huzhou City, I felt that I couldn't see it. No way, who made Huzhou close to Lin'an, they are all rich people, like the clothes worn by Yang Congyi, they can still wear them in Anqingjun, but they are beggars when they arrive in Huzhou.

The price of Huzhou is not cheap, and a few ordinary outfits cost two times, and the cost of living in Lin'an must be higher. Yang Congyi was very confident in entering the martial arts school to become a martial arts student, so he spent some money to buy a few cotton clothes, a few pairs of cotton shoes, and pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, and turned a simple package into a box.

Fortunately, it is only more than 200 miles from Huzhou to Lin'an in the south, the road is not far, the transportation is convenient, the prosperous place, the carriage and horses are common, and the cost of renting a carriage is not expensive.

On the tenth day of September, Yang Congyi successfully arrived outside Lin'an City.

The carriage stopped three miles away from the north of the city, and the coachman said that it was very inconvenient to enter and leave the city, and Yang Congyi was too lazy to argue, this kind of thing was seen a lot in later generations, and there was no need to argue, so he directly gave another thirty Wen tea money, and asked him to send it into the city, and it was really inconvenient to carry a box into the city.

After a stick of incense, the carriage stopped again, Yang Congyi was really unhappy in his heart, and he opened the door curtain and was about to ask, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

"This is really a prosperous city!" Yang Congyi couldn't help but sigh.

I saw that the road ahead was crowded with people, and it was full of people who wanted to enter the city, and when I looked up, the city gate in the distance was blurred.

"Uncle, how long do you have to wait to enter the city like this?" Yang Congyi sighed in his heart, since Huaining traveled eastward, he had never seen such a prosperous place, and the national capital was different.

"It's hard to say, if it's fast, it's half an hour, and if it's slow, it's possible for an hour or two." The coachman was very calm.

"What about going to another door?" Yang Congyi wanted to hurry into the city and see the prosperity of Lin'an City.

"The nearest is this Yuhang Gate, there are Qiantang Gates and Yongjin Gates to the west of the city, and it is inconvenient to bypass there, and it is also blocked to enter the city, so it is better to wait here." The coachman simply jumped out of the carriage.

Yang Congyi is also helpless, the capital is the capital, how can it be called the capital if it is not blocked.

After more than half an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the city. The front was still waiting in line to enter the city for inspection, Yang Congyi got off the carriage, looked up, and saw three golden characters engraved on the head of the tall city gate "Yuhang Gate", the pen is vigorous, I don't know who wrote it.

Outside the city gate, the two teams of sergeants directly blocked the people entering the city from 20 zhang away, checked one by one, dismounted on horseback, got off on the car, put down the package, opened the box, carried the basket cart, the peddler pawn, the beautiful man in brocade, the folding fan scholar and the rich and noble, all checked, no one did not check.

It was Yang Congyi's turn, the two sergeants directly stepped forward to open the carriage, there was only one box at the door of the car, of course, the lock had been opened in advance, the sergeant rummaged a few times at will, and saw that it was all clothes, so he let him go directly.

Following the carriage, through the three-foot deep doorway, there were also two teams of sergeants inside the door, but they were not examined again.

As soon as you enter the city, the scene is very different, you can see the wide streets lined with shops, the flow of people, the hustle and bustle, the bustling atmosphere in your face, close your eyes, you can also feel that this is the center of the world. There are countless cornices and glazes in the distance, and the pavilions are towering, dignified and calm atmosphere.

In it, in the crowd side by side, Yang Congyi instantly felt a lot smaller, this feeling is like walking in the Optics Valley back then, and your intuition will tell you that you are nothing great, you are just a drop in the ocean.

He didn't want to look at anything carefully, so he directly asked the coachman to take him to a cheaper inn to stay. After a while, the carriage came to a stop in front of an inn called "Four Seas Inn", Yang Congyi moved the box, paid the other half of the car rental money, thanked the coachman, and carried the box to go in.

"Is the guest officer lodging, and for how long?" As soon as Yang Congyi picked up the box, he saw an innkeeper come out and greet him with a smile.

"Let's stay for ten days and half a month." Yang Congyi didn't dare to say that he would live too long, he didn't know the price of Lin'an, if the guest house was too expensive, he would have to find another way out at that time.

When the guy heard that he was going to stay for a long time, he smiled with flowers on his face, and immediately helped move the box into the inn and put it near the counter.

"Boss, there is still a place to stay, give me a secluded room." Seeing that there were still a lot of people in the inn, Yang Congyi was not verbose.

"Is there one guest officer or how many?" The innkeeper was counting something and didn't look up.

"I'm alone."

"There is no food in a single room, 60 wen a day, and 100 wen a day with food."

"No need to pack, stay for ten days first." As soon as he heard more than forty texts, Yang Congyi directly refused, the inn includes food, how can the food be, it is estimated that it is a pit, the top priority is to live down first, and then talk about the problem of eating.

"Name, place of origin, age, what did Lin'an do?" The boss didn't look up and asked in one breath.

"Yang Congyi, a native of Huangmei County, Qizhou, is two out of twenty this year, and he came to Lin'an to take the student exam." Yang Congyi blurted out that this set had been encountered many times on the road, and every time he went to the inn to stay, he had to be asked again.

The boss suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise, "Student exam?" Are you here to take the entrance exam? ”

Yang Congyi nodded and said, "Yes, is there any discount?" ”

The boss smiled: "Of course, for the students who live in, the accommodation fee is halved and the food is free." Yang Langjun can rest assured that the hotel is quiet, and it is very convenient to read and write. ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "I am a martial arts student who is taking the exam, not too learned." ”

The boss's face stiffened slightly, and after a little thought, he smiled even more happily: "Martial arts is also learning, accommodation is halved, and food is halved." We not only provide accommodation, but if you have other needs, we can meet them even if you ask them. ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Don't use it for the time being, just arrived in Lin'an, let's stay first." Just accommodation. As he spoke, he pulled out a string of copper coins.

The boss said yes, and then began to register: "Stay for ten days first, the accommodation will be halved, 30 wen a day, and the accommodation fee will be 300 wen." After writing, the boss charged 300 yuan, and then asked the guy to take Yang Congyi to the room.

The guy helped carry the box upstairs, and Yang Congyi followed.

"Yang Langjun, if you need it, just give orders, and make sure you are satisfied." The boss shouted from behind the counter.

"Okay, thank you, boss." Yang Congyi responded casually.

went up to the second floor, and the guy took Yang Congyi to the innermost room, pushed the door in, put the box down, and then said with a smile: "Lang Jun, you rest first, just call me if you have something." ”

"I just have something to ask you, do you know how to go to the military headquarters?" He was going to report to the military department, but he didn't dare to miss the date.

The guy thought for a while and replied, "The little one really doesn't know where the military department is, why don't I ask you?" ”

"Thanks, I'll go by myself tomorrow. Where is the water, can you help me make a basin of water? "I'm tired enough these days, so I'll get some sleep after washing.

The man answered and went out, and in a short time brought a basin of water and towels.

Putting down the tub, there was nothing else to do, and the man quit and closed the door.

Yang Congyi cleaned well, felt refreshed, walked for more than a month, and finally arrived in Lin'an, and finally let go of the nerves that had been tense.

He lay on the bed and thought, today is the tenth day of the ninth month, there are still five days before the fifteenth day of September that Lord Chen said, there is still plenty of time, do you want to go around Lin'an City first, the West Lake is outside Lin'an City, I think it should not be far away, I should go to see what the West Lake, which has been famous all over the world for thousands of years, what it looked like in the Song Dynasty. There is also the Qiantang River, Su Shi said that "the eighteenth tide in August is the first in the spectacular world", although it is now September, the Qiantang tide is not small, and it is extremely spectacular.

In later generations, as soon as I have time, I only care about going to the mountains to visit the holy land of the Red Revolution, and the beautiful scenery in the city is not in a hurry, Hangzhou's West Lake and Qiantang tide have long been yearning for it, and now that I have come, I can just go to see it.

Just when Yang Congyi was thinking about how to visit the beautiful scenery, he suddenly woke up, what are you doing? Sightseeing?

Immediately turned over, turned out the pen, ink and paper inkstone, grinded the paper, dipped the pen in ink, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and wrote down eight big characters: do not forget the original intention, forge ahead.

When the ink dried, Yang Congyi hung the painting on the wall opposite the bed, and he could see it as soon as he looked up, so as to remind himself not to forget the original intention of going down Tianzhu Mountain, and not to forget the purpose of coming to Lin'an.
