Chapter 428: There is a spring in the courtyard
In Shen Kuan's view, this Zhong Hao casually chanted a small poem, which is very consistent with the spring ~ palace painting of "Boat Earthquake in the Blue Lotus Bush" created by him, which shows the depth of his poetic skills. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the chat just now, Shen Kuan knew that the most widely circulated among the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were the rhyme study books of "Liweng Rhyme" and "Vocal Rhythm Enlightenment", all of which were created by Zhong Hao, as well as the popular "Water Tune Song Head. When is the bright moon" and "Fixing the Storm. A Rain of Smoke and Rain" and other lyrics are also created by Zhong Hao, and his profound skills in poetry make Shen Kuan still very amazed.
However, after chatting today, except for the couplet of "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city and a lake" on the wall of Zhong Hao's inscription when we first met, Zhong Hao has never shown his poetic skills. Now I listened to Zhong Hao's casual poem of "lotus leaves cover the waist of a beauty", and it is very consistent with the spring ~ palace painting of "Boat Earthquake in the Lotus Bush" created by him, and I can't help but admire it. Under this fame, there is really no vanity, this Zhong Hao is known as "the first genius in Qingzhou", and it is really not for nothing. Just this casual little poem, it shows the depth of his poetic skills and his mastery of rhyme, which is worthy of being a person who can write the rhyme learning books of "Liweng's Rhyme" and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment".
It was Shen Kuan's sincere praise for Zhong Hao.
Yun Furong listened to Zhong Hao's casual chanting, "The lotus leaf is five-inch lotus delicate, and the waves do not hinder the boat rocking." When it comes to the wind in April and May, it can also cover the waist of the beauty", which is also admired. The lotus flower, the painting of the boat rocking, and the beautiful waist are obviously accurate descriptions, except for the main points of Shen Kuan's painting. This Zhong Gongzi was able to write such an accurate and suitable poem for this painting in such a short period of time, which is really brilliant.
After Yun Furong listened to this wonderful seven unique poems, she was naturally full of praise, this little poem was really wonderful.
After Yun Furong finished praising it, she couldn't help but feel very regretful, but it was a pity that this Zhong Gongzi was going to hurry tomorrow, if he could stay in Qizhou City for a few more days, he would definitely invite him to Cuiyan Tower, show his skills, and let him make a song for himself. This can make the "Water Tune Song Head. When is the bright moon" and "Fixing the Storm. A Rain of Smoke and Rain", such a popular hand-me-down lyricist, just make a lyric for yourself, and you can definitely benefit yourself a lot. It's a pity, it's a pity, this time it's not timely, Yun Furong is very emotional.
Xu Feng had naturally seen Zhong Hao's poetry skills many times, but he didn't have much reaction at this time. After all, this little poem is really nothing compared to the wonderful words made by Zhong Hao.
At that moment, Xu Feng smiled and said: "Wen Xuan, Brother Zhong Hou and Miss Yun praise you so much, Third Brother, I won't praise you, save you from pride, haha!" ”
Zhong Hao said with a smile: "Don't praise me, if you praise me again, I will really be fluttering." It doesn't matter if it's fluttering, but if you fall into this Daming Lake, you will lose your adult. ”
Shen Kuan finished the painting, Zhong Hao finished the inscription, and the four of them chatted in this blue Xuan again, this time with the beauty of Yun Furong together, the four of them chatted more happily. Yun Furong is also very familiar with this Qizhou, and during this period, it is indispensable to tell some of the customs of Qizhou, so that Zhong Hao and the three of them have a better understanding of Qizhou.
………………
Today's visit to Daming Lake, this swim down, Zhong Hao felt that this Qizhou City is known as "not out of the city and get the joy of mountains and rivers, living in the downtown and having the result of forests and springs", but it is really worthy of its name.
This trip, not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake, but also had a chance encounter with Shen Kuan, so that Zhong Hao got a landscape painting of Daming Lake by Shen Kuan, a famous man of Tianfu, and by the way, he also got acquainted with a charming Qing ~ Lou famous prostitute, but it was really worth the trip.
This gathering with Shen Kuan really stayed in this Azure Xuan for a long time, and seeing the sunset, Yun Furong invited Zhong Hao and the three of them to go to Cuiyan Building for a gathering.
Although there is no curfew in this Great Song Dynasty, the city gate is to be closed. Although Zhong Hao and Xu Feng traveled all the way to Tokyo, it was not good to delay too long in Qizhou City, once they went to Cuiyan Building, they would not be able to get out of the city tonight, and they were afraid that they would delay their trip tomorrow. There are still nearly 800 miles from Qizhou to Tokyo, and there are still some accidents on the way, so it is not good to delay too long in one place.
Besides, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are both with their families, especially Zhong Hao and his wife Fu Ruozhu, if they are thrown at the post station, they will go to Qing~ Lou to be happy, I am afraid that they will have no good fruit to eat tomorrow, so Zhong Hao and Xu Feng can only decline Yun Furong's invitation.
Shen Kuan didn't refuse, he had been traveling around, and this came to Qizhou City was also a guest house, and now that no one invited him to Cuiyan Building, he was naturally happy to go. Today, Shen Kuan, Zhong Hao, and Xu Feng are gifts of poems and paintings, so naturally they are a great favor to Yun Furong, and they are afraid that she will not be well entertained when they go to Cuiyan Building? ! It was Shen Kuan who naturally followed Yun Furong to Cuiyan Tower.
Zhong Hao and Xu Feng met Shen Kuan by chance today, and the conversation in this Azure Xuan was very speculative, and they were very reluctant to see each other late. At that moment, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng told Shen Kuan that if he went to Tokyo in the future, he must go to their Ya Gathering.
However, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are afraid that they will definitely go out to Tokyo this time, and it is not certain where they will be sent for three years, Shen Kuan instructed them to write a letter to Yingtian Academy if they arrive at their place of service in the future, and let him know where the two of them are working at that time, and if they travel in the future, they can also go to visit.
Zhong Hao and Xu Feng naturally agreed.
There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, although Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are very speculative with Shen Kuan, they can only say goodbye.
After saying goodbye to Shen Kuan and Yun Furong, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng saw that it was not early, so they let the old man who had been waiting for them drive the canopy boat, take them back from the North Water Gate, go south along the moat, go ashore from the eastern suburbs, and walk all the way back to Qizhou Station.
………………
Zhong Hao and Xu Feng returned to the Qizhou Post Station, and when they entered this courtyard, they were very surprised to find that there was a spring in the east courtyard of the post station where they lived. Yesterday they came back from the Qizhou moat, and it was also dark, but they didn't notice that there was a spring here.
I saw that the spring was bubbling with water, flowing into a large pond with rippling blue waves beside it. The lotus pond is full of lotus, at this time the lotus leaf field, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which really adds a lot of color to this yard.
Next to the pond, under a weeping willow that has just pulled out its tender green branches and leaves, there is a stone table and several stone benches. When Zhong Hao and Xu Feng came back, Fu Ruozhu and Ye Yihan, as well as Yun Lan, Shui Xiu, and Huaping, were sitting there drinking tea!
There is a spring in this courtyard, which is really wonderful! If you want to drink tea, you don't need to go to the water to change it, there is a ready-made spring in your yard. This spring water is much better than the well water for tea.
At this time, the two Zhong Hao yesterday each rewarded five taels of silver, and when they saw Zhong Hao and Xu Feng coming back, they came to ask Zhong Hao and Xu Feng when they planned to have dinner. The older post man looked at Zhong Hao and was very surprised to see a spring in this courtyard, and couldn't help but smile and explained: "Lord Zhong, hehe, in fact, in this Qizhou City, there is a spring in this courtyard, which is a rare thing. There are springs in several courtyards here in our post station. In fact, the big families in Qizhou City basically have one or two springs! This is a yard in Qizhou City, without one or two springs, it is really not a big family! ”
Zhong Hao listened to the words of the post guard, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This big family has one or two springs?!" Then how many springs does this Qizhou City have?! Isn't there four major springs and seventy-two springs in Qizhou?! ”
Xu Feng listened to Zhong Hao's words, and couldn't help but smile and replied: "Lord Zhong is afraid that he has misunderstood, this Qizhou claims to have seventy-two springs, which means that the famous springs have seventy-two holes. In fact, the springs in Qizhou are far more than seventy-two holes, but the literati and scholars have rated the 'seventy-two famous springs' in order to be vassals and elegant.
No one can say for sure how many springs there are in this Qizhou City, because many of them are in the courtyards of this big family, and there is no way to count an accurate number. However, it is said that there are thousands of springs in the territory under the jurisdiction of Qizhou, but there are seven or eight hundred springs inside and outside the city of Qizhou, and there are also many springs in Zhangqiu County, which is known as 'Xiaoquan City'. Zhangqiu's Baimai Spring Group is sometimes called the Five Great Spring Group of Qizhou together with the four major spring groups of Qizhou! ”
Zhong Hao listened to the words of the older post guard, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again, it turns out that there are so many springs in this Qizhou Mansion, and it turns out that this courtyard with springs is nothing in Qizhou City! But he is still very envious of the yard with a spring, there is a spring in this house, not only is it convenient to drink tea and get water, but also dig a pond in this house, and there will be water automatically, which is also very good. The presence of spring water in this courtyard really adds a lot of color to the scenery of this house.
Although Xu Feng had never been to Qizhou, when he was in Qingzhou, he often got together with some literati, but he heard that some people who had come to Qizhou liked to be vassals and gentlemen, and talked about the spring water in the city of Qizhou. At that moment, Xu Feng introduced Zhong Hao: "It is said that because there are many springs in this Qizhou City, there is often a scene of 'clear spring stone upstream' in the summer and autumn abundant water season in this Qizhou City. In this summer and autumn season, the spring water in the city of Qizhou gushes, not only the rockery stone on the edge of the spring in the courtyard has the scenery of 'clear spring stone upstream'! After the pond in this courtyard overflows, it flows into the street, and on the stone pavement of this street, you can also see the scenery of 'clear spring stone upstream'! Now it is spring, there is not much rain, if it is in the summer and autumn feng shui season, catch up with the rainy days, you can see the scenery of this 'clear spring stone upstream'. ”
Zhong Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Xu Feng's words, and said very speechlessly: "Third brother, what do you see about 'Qingquan Stone Upstream'?!" Even if it rains in Qingzhou City, there will be water on the stone road, isn't this also 'Qingquan Stone Upstream'?! There may indeed be spring water flowing on the stone road in Qizhou City, but is there any difference between this and the rain flowing on the stone road in Qingzhou City?! ”
Xu Feng listened to Zhong Hao's words, and thought about it sideways, isn't it, he can't help but sweat profusely. At that moment, he smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, Wen Xuan is also right, this 'Qingquan Stone Upstream' doesn't seem to be much to look at!" When I was in Qingzhou, I heard a few scholars who had come to Qizhou talk about the scenery of the 'Qingquan Stone Upstream' in the city of Qizhou, and I thought it was indeed very meaningful! ”
The elder post man listened to the words of the two young Jinshi officials in front of him about this "Qingquan Stone Upstream", and couldn't help but be a little speechless! He wanted to point out their misunderstanding of this "Qingquan Stone Upper Class", but he felt that it was a little inappropriate, after all, he was a dignified Jinshi official. But don't say it, this post man is a little uncomfortable, although he is not young, but there is no city, and he can't hold back. In the end, the elder post man still didn't hold back, but he still tried his best to smile in a gentle, non-offending tone: "Lord Zhong, Lord Xu, in fact, this 'Qingquan Stone Upstream' is not seen when it rains, but after the rain stops. After this heavy rain, the water in this spring will gush very quickly, and the 'clear spring stone upstream' on this stone road will flow for a long time! If it rains heavily, the spring will even gush for several days, and the clear spring water on the stone road will naturally flow for several days! ”
When Xu Feng and Zhong Hao heard the elder guard's explanation of this "Qingquan Stone Upstream", they were both a little embarrassed, and the two of them were a little clever just now.
Fortunately, Zhong Hao is very good at dealing with embarrassment, and at that moment he no longer talked about the embarrassing topic just now, but said haha, and said to Xu Feng: "Third brother, the scenery of this courtyard is very good!" Why don't we drink tea for a while and have dinner later, anyway, we're not hungry and in a hurry to eat, right?! ”
Xu Feng echoed Malier: "Yes, I didn't expect our yard to have such a good view, and there is a spring!" Then let's first taste the fragrant tea cooked by the spring water in this courtyard, and enjoy the spring water pond lotus, this dinner is not in a hurry. ”
At that moment, Zhong Hao arranged for the two post guards and said: "Let's use this dinner in half an hour, let's taste the taste of the fragrant tea cooked in the spring water in our courtyard first." Having said that, Zhong Hao also gave each of the two post guards a small silver cake.
The two post guards were very happy to receive the reward, originally they had a good impression of Zhong Hao and Xu Feng, the two young and easy-going Jinshi officials, but now they couldn't help but be more enthusiastic. At that moment, both of them smiled and said, "Lord Zhong and Lord Xu want to taste tea for a while, then we will send this dinner to the chef in half an hour." ”
Zhong Hao smiled and said, "Very good! ”
Although the older post man couldn't hold back his work, he was still very sophisticated, and he was rewarded by Zhong Hao, but he knew how to repay it. At that moment, he smiled and said: "The two adults want to drink tea, and there are still some good Junshan silver needles in this station, so the small ones will go and get some for the two adults." ”
Zhong Hao smiled slightly and said, "Then we're welcome!" Just wait to taste the Junshan silver needles cooked by this spring water! ”
