At that moment, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng discussed and decided to go to the Qizhou moat to play, so they each went to call their daughters, and the group took a car to the nearest east moat from the eastern suburbs where the Qizhou Post Station was located. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhong Hao and their group did not go fast along the way, the road was very leisurely, because everyone did not have much tired feeling, as soon as they heard that they were going to play, all the women were interested.

Because the moat of Qizhou City is a place where many literati and scholars like to play, there are many boat owners who specialize in renting boats for their livelihood on the moat of Qizhou City. When Zhong Hao and his entourage came to the moat in the east of Qizhou City, they saw that there were many canopy boats moored in this moat for guests to rent and swim in the lake.

Of course, if some people are a little more demanding and not satisfied with this slightly shabby canopy boat to cruise the lake, there are many more high-end carved boats for tourists to rent.

Most of the carved boats and paintings are those Qin Lou Chu pavilions in Qizhou City who come here to solicit business. These carved boats generally have those red girls from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and when guests rent carved boats, they will generally let these prostitutes accompany them by the way. Boating on the lake with beauty is also elegant.

Of course, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng also want to rent another painting boat of Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and by the way, take a few beautiful women to take a boat trip to the lake and taste the taste of famous prostitutes in Qizhou! But Zhong Hao and Xu Feng just thought about it, who let them all bring their families!

Zhong Hao went to rent a very delicate small painting boat, of course, the Qing~Lou prostitutes of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on the painting boat, Zhong Hao naturally did not dare to stay.

Zhong Hao and his entourage took the exquisite painting boat from the east moat, swam along the thirteen-mile-long moat, and enjoyed the infinite and unique beauty of "one river with a hundred scenes, and a string of famous springs with jade belts".

………………

The next day, Xu Feng shouted that he would stay in Qizhou City for a day and have a good visit to this long-known Daming Lake.

And Fu Ruozhu and Ye Yihan, as well as Xu Feng's concubines Yun Lan, Shui Xiu, and Huaping, after listening to Xu Feng's words, they were naturally willing to stay in Qizhou City for a day and have a good time.

Zhong Hao saw that everyone was willing to stay here for a day, and naturally it was not easy to sweep people Yaxing, and besides, it would be a maximum of seven or eight days from Qizhou to Tokyo, and he would definitely be able to arrive before the end of the month, so he naturally agreed to stay here for a day and have a good time.

Xu Feng wanted to take Zhong Hao to visit Daming Lake, but those ladies had different ideas, after they toured the moat with Zhong Hao and Xu Feng yesterday, they said that they had seen enough of the scenery today, so it was better to go shopping!

So, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng had to part ways with those women.

At that moment, Zhong Hao asked Cui Qi to take a few people to follow and protect Fu Ruozhu and his party, and he and Xu Feng were going to visit Daming Lake.

Fu Ruozhu and his female guests entered Qizhou City from the East Gate Qichuan Gate to go shopping, but Zhong Hao and they did not enter the city from the East Gate Qichuan Gate, but rented a canopy boat by the moat next to the East Gate Qichuan Gate, and let the boat row to the north, and they wanted to enter the city from the Huibo Gate of the North Gate of the city.

The reason why you enter the city from the Huibo Gate is because the entire north of the Qizhou City is the lake area of Daming Lake, and the north gate of the Qizhou City is actually a water gate, and you can enter the Daming Lake area from the North Water Gate along the moat from the moat on the east side of the city. In later generations, Jinan Mansion City has the reputation of "a city with mountains and half a city lake", and this Daming Lake occupies nearly half of the area of Jinan Mansion City. Of course, the city of Jinan in the later Ming and Qing dynasties was established by the outline of Qizhou City. This Qizhou City is naturally also "a city with mountains and half a city lake", but now there is no "lotus on all sides and willows on three sides?" A city with mountains and half a city lake" is just a couplet!

Therefore, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng rented a canopy boat to go around to the North Gate and went to visit the scenery of Daming Lake from the North Water Gate.

………………

The boat on the canopy boat was an old man, but although he was old, his hands and feet were very sharp and strong, and he soon drove the boat through the North Water Gate and entered Daming Lake.

Yesterday, Zhong Hao and his party had a lot of people, and they had female dependents, so it was naturally difficult to rent this kind of canopy boat, first, they couldn't take so many people, but it was a little inconvenient for the female dependents to show up. Today, it's just Zhong Hao and Xu Feng, and there are no more problems. And according to Xu Feng's words, this trip on this canopy boat can feel the quiet artistic conception even more.

Although Zhong Hao didn't feel anything about the quiet artistic conception in Xu Feng's mouth, he felt that this trip on a canopy boat was more free and wild than a tour on a painting boat, so he naturally agreed to Xu Feng's suggestion to rent a canopy boat.

The old man swaying on the canopy boat was busy with his hands, and his mouth was not idle, chatting casually with Zhong Hao and Xu Feng.

The old man smiled heartily and said, "The two sons are from Qingzhou, right?" ”

"How did my husband know?" Zhong Hao couldn't help but be amazed when he heard the old man say that he and Xu Feng's origins were revealed.

The old man smiled: "The old man has been doing this job for more than 20 years, and there are a lot of people from all over our Jingdong Road who have been rowed by boat, and the accents of each state can distinguish one or two." Hehe, and son, your Qingzhou accent is already heavy, so it's naturally easy to distinguish! ”

When Zhong Hao heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I see."

The old man smiled: "It's the first time for the two sons to visit Daming Lake, right?" ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "Exactly! ”

"Our Daming Lake is really big, accounting for nearly half of Jinan City, there are Lixia Pavilion, Arctic Pavilion, Huibo Building, Xiaocanglang, Jiaxuan Temple, Yuexia Pavilion, Jiuqu Pavilion, Cuiliuping, Huxin Pavilion, Beiyangzhou, Minghu Tower and so on more than 20 scenic spots! Do the two sons want to visit at will, or do they try to see all the scenic spots? If you try to see all the scenic spots, the old man can take you around one by one, and the old man can also tell you about the origin and origin of this scenic spot. Don't look at the two sons who read poetry and books, but there may not be an old man who is familiar with the history and origin of this scenic spot in Daming Lake! But if you look at it everywhere, it will definitely take more time, and the old man will definitely have to work harder to shake the oar, and the price of this boat, the son will have to add a little more! ”

Zhong Hao knew that the old man was telling the truth, in fact, in later generations, Zhong Hao had been to Daming Lake, and he still knew something about this Daming Lake! The famous spot on this Daming Lake has "one pavilion, three gardens, three floors, four shrines, six islands, seven bridges, ten pavilions" in later generations, so he said that there are more than 20 scenic spots in this Daming Lake, but it is not a lie.

However, the Daming Lake in this period is still very different from the later generations, and its scenery is naturally not as many as that of the later generations. Because many of the places of interest in Daming Lake that he visited in later generations were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they do not exist now.

However, although there are fewer places of interest than in later generations, this natural wilderness is much more than that of Daming Lake in later generations. In fact, in Zhong Hao's view, the deliberately chiseled scenic spots in later generations are too heavy with artificial traces, but they are not as good as the natural scenery of Daming Lake at this time.

Zhong Hao didn't have the interest to visit all the scenic spots one by one. This play is very leisurely, and if you look at the attractions for the sake of seeing the attractions, this play will lose its taste.

Zhong Hao listened to the words of the old man, and couldn't help but smile and said: "This lake must be a state of mind, and it is boring to force you to visit everywhere!" In this way, you can take us around at will, you don't have to force us to go anywhere, this rafting trip to there, you will briefly tell us about the origin and origin of this scenic spot, and then you will definitely not be indispensable to your boat money! ”

When the old man heard that Zhong Hao would not lose the money for the boat, he couldn't help but happily agree: "Oh, okay, listen to the son!" ”

Zhong Hao asked Xu Feng, "Third brother, do you think this is good?" ”

Xu Feng said casually: "Very good! When Zhong Hao was talking to the old man who was rocking, he had been standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the picturesque Daming Lake, and he didn't know if he heard the conversation between Zhong Hao and the old man.

…………

Zhong Hao Hao Xu Feng took a canopy boat and slowly sailed into the picturesque depths of Daming Lake.

On the lake of Daming Lake, the kite flies and the fish jumps, the lotus is full of ponds, there is not a pleasure boat painting boat passing through, the willows on the shore are thick, the flowers are like brocade, there are visitors coming and going from time to time.

The water color of the lake surface is clear and blue, the embankment willow sandwiches the bank, the lotus and lotus are stacked and green, the thousand Buddha Mountains in the south reflect the lake, the distant mountains and near the water and the clear sky are integrated into one color, forming a natural lake and mountain color picture. There are many pavilions and pavilions in this lake, and the corridors and rockery pavilions are interspersed among them, adding many humanistic embellishments to this beautiful natural picture.

The beauty of the scenery of Daming Lake is really worthy of its name.

According to the old man who swayed the oar, there are pleasant scenery on this Daming Lake all year round. In spring, the warm wind blows on the lake, the willows sway gently, and the microwave ripples; In summer, the lotus waves in the lake are charming, green and red; In autumn, the reeds in the lake are flying, and the water birds are soaring; In winter, although the lake is temporarily lost in blue waves, it is covered in silver and is extraordinarily enchanting. Although Daming Lake is beautiful all year round, it is especially pleasant in autumn. Zhong Hao and Xu Feng came to the lake at the right time when the autumn was cool.

Zhong Hao looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but praise: "'Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake', this Daming Lake really deserves such a reputation!" ”

When Xu Feng heard Zhong Hao's words, he couldn't help but praise: "Wenxuan's casual couplet, but he vividly said the beauty of Daming Lake, it is really an excellent portrayal of Daming Lake, it is indeed wonderful!" ”

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu Feng's praise. Then he remembered this couplet, which seemed to be the couplet of the Zhongtie Ancestral Hall in Daming Lake in later generations, and it was also the best portrayal of Daming Lake and Jinan City, and the best propaganda slogan for Daming Lake and Jinan City. But in this era, there is not even the Iron Gong Temple, let alone this couplet. This couplet seems to have existed only in the Qing Dynasty.

After Zhong Hao blurted out this couplet, Xu Feng thought that it was created by himself.

Then this matter is not easy to explain, at that moment Zhong Hao had no choice but to accept Xu Feng's worship, and said very modestly: "Hehe, the third brother has said it, the younger brother got it casually, this couplet is just a general work, and the third brother should not praise it so much!" ”

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Wenxuan, don't be too humble. cough, third brother, I can't understand you more and more, sometimes I have to talk to you about composing poems and pairs, you always say that you can't do it, but this is often a casual little poem, a pair is a classic, it's really weird. Well, but Wenxuan's couplet is definitely a classic pair, let's find a place to write down, maybe it can be passed on as a good story! ”

Zhong Hao said with a wry smile: "Little brother's couplet is just a casual work, where can it be regarded as a classic, there is no need to leave a question, right?!" ”

Xu Feng said with a smile: "Wenxuan, you don't have to be too humble, from the third brother's point of view, this couplet is definitely a classic pair to describe the scenery of Daming Lake, if you leave the topic, it will definitely be a good story." ”

When the old man heard that the two wanted to find a place to write a poem, he said very complimentally: "Although the old man doesn't understand much, he really thinks it's good to listen to Zhong Gongzi's pair!" "Everyone in the Great Song Dynasty has elegant bones, and they all worship this poetic couplet.

Then the old man who swayed the oar continued: "If the two sons want to write poems, the old man will take you to the Lixia Pavilion!" There is a wall corridor next to the Lixia Pavilion on the island of Daming Lake, and there are many literati and writers who often write poems in that place since ancient times! ”

When Xu Feng heard this, he ignored Zhong Hao's modesty at the moment, and smiled at the old man who was swaying the oars and ordered: "Then there is Lao Lao to take us to Lixia Pavilion!" ”

…………

Lixia Pavilion was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and rebuilt in the Tang Dynasty. Lixia Pavilion stands majestically on the largest island in Daming Lake. There are not only the pavilions on the island, but also the corridor of the hidden path, the rockery pavilion, and the flowers and trees are planted all over, and the scenery is very good. Because Lixia Pavilion is the most famous, so the people of the time refer to the scenery of this island in the lake with Lixia Pavilion.

The old man who swayed the oar carried Zhong Hao and Xu Feng to a stoppable place next to the island in the lake, put down the board, and let the two go to the island.

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng stepped on the board and boarded the island in the lake where the Lixia Pavilion is located, only to see that the whole island is surrounded by green willows, flowers and trees are sparse, the pavilions and corridors are scattered, and the bamboo and flowers are dotted in the meantime, and the scenery is really elegant and extraordinary.

Standing on the island, but seeing the rippling lake around you, lotus leaves and fields, lotus flowers overflowing, and the cool breeze blowing, it is refreshing!

According to the old man who swayed the oars just now, this "autumn wind" and "boating on the Ming Lake" are one of the eight scenic spots in Qizhou. On the occasion of the crisp autumn weather, there is an endless stream of people who come to enjoy this "autumn breeze". However, in this warm spring season of March, there are many people who come to this Lixia Pavilion to play.

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng walked the winding path on the island and came to the Lixia Pavilion not far away.

Lixia Pavilion is located in the center of this island in the lake of Daming Lake, eight pillars stand, red pillars and green tiles, and the bucket arch supports. There are octagonal heavy eaves again, the eaves corner flies, the top of the treasure is accumulated, the pavilion ridge is decorated with the kissing beast, it is a grand view. The pavilion body is empty, there are wooden railings around the pavilion, there are stone carved lotus tables and stools in the pavilion, which can be used for visitors to take a rest and enjoy the scenery.

At this time, there were already a lot of literati and scholars in the lower pavilion, most of them gathered together in twos and threes, or talked and laughed and enjoyed the scenery, or chanted poems against each other, and they all had their own fun.
