Chapter 133 Don't tie the boat to taste tea
Today, Zhong Hao plans to go to the Jin Temple with Fu Ruozhu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu haven't seen each other for a long time, and they plan to stay in Bingzhou for a few more days, accompany her more, and by the way, Fu Bi will implement the iron embryo matter before leaving for Jingqiang Village.
Zhong Hao rode his war horse to the back gate of the state government early today to wait for Fu Ruozhu. Jin Ancestral Hall is located at the foot of the Hanging Urn Mountain in the southwest of the state, and it takes more than an hour to ride a horse, but it is just a good distance for a horseback riding outing.
Fu Ruozhu wore a plain samurai suit that was easy to ride today, because the weather at the end of September was a little cold, so the outside was still covered with yesterday's white satin armor, and the outfit was quite sassy. Ling'er was also wearing a riding costume, and the little girl was very excited when she heard that she was going to ride a horse for an outing today.
Zhong Hao and Wang San untied the other war horse tied to the back of their respective war horses, and handed the reins to Fu Ruozhu's master and servant.
Fu Ruozhu and Ling'er each held the saddle, and stepped on the war horse lightly and skillfully, which was much more neat than Zhong Hao getting on the horse, and at first glance he was a rider who often rode on it. Fu Ruozhu saw Zhong Hao's surprised expression, and glanced at Zhong Hao proudly.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but be a little speechless, and touched his nose in embarrassment. Originally, when he was in Qingzhou, he was not as rich as Riaozhu, but in Jingqiang Village for most of the year, Zhong Hao often rode and polished his riding skills, and felt that he was no better than Fu Ruozhu, but he didn't expect Fu Ruozhu's riding skills to improve so much.
Fu Ruozhu has not ridden a horse for a long time, and today he is very interested, and when he lifted the reins of the horse, he knocked his legs and rushed out first. Although the war horse may not be as beautiful as the traveling horses of those rich children, after years of training, the tameness and discipline are far better than those traveling horses, and they are very good to ride.
The group rode a war horse out of the city from the west gate of Bingzhou City and rode slowly to the Hanging Urn Mountain. Fu Ruozhu and Zhong Hao were talking and laughing in front, and Ling'er and Wang San naturally wanted to keep their distance from them, so they deliberately fell behind them.
Ling'er is also lively, bored along the way, and constantly amuses Wang San with a stuffy gourd, which makes Wang San's face red for a while.
Now that the frost has just passed, the weather is getting cooler, and the hoarfrost on the leaves of the trees in the early morning has not completely dissipated. The hoarfrost on the leaves, under the reflection of the morning sun, looks crystal clear, and the withered yellow leaves contrast with each other, but it is a unique scenery.
The Jin Ancestral Hall was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, also called the Jin King Temple, which was built to commemorate the founding princes of the Jin Kingdom, Tang Shuyu and his mother, Empress Jiang, and has a history of more than 2,000 years to the Great Song Dynasty. The Jin Ancestral Hall is built at the foot of the Hanging Urn Mountain in the southwest of Bingzhou City, there are many large and small hollows in the Hanging Urn Mountain, and it is also a famous scenic spot.
The Jin Ancestral Hall was founded for a long time, and the geographical location is superior, and the natural scenery is beautiful. The Jin Ancestral Hall is famous for a large number of ancient buildings, sculptures, inscriptions, murals and ancient trees. There are many famous places of interest here, as well as exquisite garden wonders, and it is the most famous landscape place in Bingzhou. In the east of the river, there is a saying that "if you don't go to the Jin Temple, you will go to Taiyuan in vain", of course, today's Taiyuan is called and state.
On the crisp days of autumn, the Jin Temple is naturally indispensable to all kinds of tourists. When Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu came to the Jin Ancestral Hall, there were already many tourists in the Jin Ancestral Hall.
The Jin Ancestral Hall is managed by officials sent by the state government, but the local government of the city and the city circle the tourist attractions to charge, the Jin Ancestral Hall does not charge tickets here, and visitors can freely enter and exit the tour. The officials stationed by the state government are mainly responsible for the protection and repair of the Jin Ancestral Hall. Of course, although there is no admission fee, officials and handymen here also have their own ways to make money. For example, this generation of parking horse business. Jin Ancestral Hall is more than 30 miles away from the city of Bingzhou, most of the tourists come by car and horse, these cars and horses are really not at ease when they stop there, what if there is less? It's okay for big families to say that sending a servant to watch it is enough, and ordinary tourists will make it difficult. It is also a good choice to have an official handyman to help take care of it, although it is charged, but it is always reassuring. Generally speaking, the business developed by the management officials and miscellaneous servants of the Jin Ancestral Hall is still relatively beneficial to others and themselves. Of course, the officials and miscellaneous servants managed by the Jin Ancestral Hall have more than these ways to make money, such as providing wine and food, selling incense, etc., which are also their money-making businesses.
Zhong Hao and the others naturally have to find those miscellaneous servants to park the war horses, this war horse is enough for a hundred dollars, if they tie up a place at will, it will be a big loss if they lose it.
Zhong Hao and his entourage entered the Jin Ancestral Hall, and first went to worship the Shuyu Temple and the Temple of Our Lady. It is said that it is very accurate to ask for things on incense, and Fu Ruozhu is very pious and has incense in turn. Zhong Hao has always been very unconvinced of the gods and monsters, and he didn't want to put incense, but Fu Ruozhu insisted on letting Zhong Hao also sincerely put on the pillar incense, in order to repay peace in the land outside the river, Zhong Hao knew that she was also kind, and for her peace of mind, he also went to ask for two incense, and worshiped Shu Yu and the Virgin Mary very seriously, and inserted the incense.
However, the incense sold by the miscellaneous servants here is expensive, and a big stick of incense costs five hundred dollars, although Zhong Hao is not bad for that money, but he still feels that it is not worth it.
Next to the temple of Our Lady, there are two ancient cypresses planted in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although these two trees have gone through thousands of years, they are upright and upright, the taste is extraordinary, the branches are stretched and bent, the shadow of the tree is Fusu, the posture is beautiful, half lying and half lying, leisurely, eclectic, very majestic and chic.
One of these two Zhou cypress is called "Qi Nian Cypress", and the other is called "Long Age Cypress", among which "Qi Nian Cypress" is the most famous, according to legend, it is planted in the Jin Ancestral Hall when the ancestral hall was built, and the Jin Ancestral Hall in the same year.
Zhong Hao used to see the dwarf pines planted in the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou Songlin Academy, and he was already emotional, and at this time, when he saw the ancient cypress of the Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't help but sigh even more, they are the real vicissitudes of life. These ancient trees are also favored by the aura of heaven and earth, "the earth spirit grass and trees have residual moisture, and the lush ancient cypress contains smoke", otherwise it is difficult to live so long.
After visiting Gu Bai, Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu came to the "Difficult Old Spring" again.
The ancient cypress of the Zhou Dynasty and the difficult old spring are known as the double unique of the Jin Ancestral Hall, and it is the landscape that must be appreciated when you come to the Jin Ancestral Hall.
Zhong Hao turned around a garden, but saw a deep pool here and a small ditch there. There is a river under the bridge, a well in the pavilion, and a stream on the side of the road.
These waters all come from the Nanlao Spring, which comes from the Hanging Urn Mountain, which is also the source of the Jin water. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" clouds: the mountain of the hanging urn, the water of Jin. The water gushes out from a zhang deep stone rock, it really looks like it gushes out of the urn, the spring water bubbles non-stop, clarifies and greens, flows down like a jade splash cui, not only fills the clear spring with the rivers, wells, ditches and canals of the Jin Ancestral Hall, but also irrigates the grain fields of thousands of hectares, nourishes the land of the three Jin Dynasty.
The spring is constant temperature all year round, and it flows all year round. Although the mountain is not high, the mountain range is extended, like outstretched arms, the towering ancient trees, palaces and pavilions of the Jin Temple, and the deep pool spring water are embraced in the arms. These arms blocked the howling north wind, so that the Jin Temple was not disturbed by the cold wind, even in the cold winter of Sanjiu, the spring water still tinkled and flowed endlessly.
There is a unique immortal pinge in the spring water, which is thick and green like jade, evergreen in all seasons, and it is amazing to watch. After the "poet immortal" Li Baiyou appreciated it, he once praised: "The flowing water of the Jin Temple is like jasper, and the microwave dragon scales are sedge green." ”
In addition to the wonderful natural landscape, there are many humanistic landscapes. Among them, there are springs with seven holes and eight eyes, there are magical mainstays, Zhang Lang Tower, not tied to the boat, herringbone weir, ear washing holes, real fun pavilions, and the difficult old spring pavilion of "South China Sea Eye", and then there is the jellyfish building.
The most famous of these buildings is the "unmoored boat".
The boat is located at the spring of the old spring, it is a stone workshop made of white marble low column, because it does not need to be tied, it will stop steadily, so it is called not tied to the boat. There is a pavilion on the boat that is not tied, and the name is not tied to the boat pavilion.
The untied boat is moored in the waterhole at the spring of Nanlao Spring, so this waterhole is also called the untied boat pool. The water in Zhoutan is warm in winter and cool in summer, and in a cold day like now, the water vapor is steaming and dense, like clouds and mist. There are many long-lived pings on the water surface, there are aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool, all are evergreen in winter and summer, the long aquatic plants fluctuate with the flowing water, like the wind blowing wheat waves, rippling and undulating, sitting in the boat and tasting tea and enjoying the snow, it is really like entering the fairyland of Yao Pond by mistake.
There is Zhoushan in the northeast of Taiyuan, which is said to be surrounded by Taiyuan dragon energy. Emperor Taizong of this dynasty thought that he was afraid that someone would add dragon energy, and took Taiyuan as the foundation to subvert the Great Song Dynasty, so after destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, he ordered someone to flatten Zhoushan.
It is said that this is located in the southwest of Taiyuan, not tied to the boat pond is also where the dragon gas is, this mountain and water, a song and a tail together create the dragon gas of Taiyuan. However, according to Fu Ruozhu, the legend that the boat beach is also where the dragon qi is located, and it is a legend made up by the Taiyuan people out of psychological comfort after Emperor Taizong leveled the Zhoushan. Otherwise, Emperor Taizong's obsession with feng shui would have destroyed this non-Zhoutan water long ago.
Of course, the reason why the boat is the most famous is because it is difficult to rely on the old spring here, so the water quality here is the best, and on the boat, you can enjoy the fragrant tea brewed by the water of the boat pond nearby. Rich in minerals, it is used to make tea, and it has a sweet aftertaste, making it one of the best spring water for making tea. The best spring water always comes from the place closest to the spring.
When you come to the Nanlao Spring, you naturally want to taste the fragrant tea brewed from the Nanlao Spring.
However, it is very expensive to drink tea on a boat without tying up, and not everyone can afford to drink it. This is not tied to the boat and is occupied by the management officials of the Jin Temple, and if you want to go on the boat to drink tea, you have to pay money. Of course, those dignitaries and nobles went on the boat to drink tea, and those miscellaneous servants naturally did not dare to collect money, not only did they not collect money, but they also served carefully. However, poor literati don't have this treatment, and they can't get on the boat without two yuan. There are also advantages to this, it's not that the rich and dignitaries can't get on the boat, but it's much quieter to drink tea on the boat. It is estimated that the officials who manage the Jin Ancestral Hall do this, and these dignitaries acquiesce to it, so that they also want to be quiet, if the peddlers and pawns can get on the boat, then they can't pretend to be elegant.
Zhong Hao naturally didn't miss the money, so he asked Wang San to pay the money at the moment, and he and Fu Ruozhu slowly got on the boat.
The official who manages the Jin Ancestral Hall is very careful, and really regards this boat as a tea shop, there are incense burners burning sandalwood in the four corners of the boat, there are several screen partitions on the boat, and there are exquisite refreshments on the pineapple wood low tea table.
There were not many people on the boat, only two groups. At the end of the boat, a few literati were chatting with tea at the end of the untied boat, and a small servant next to him was boiling tea on a small red clay stove. There are two old men playing tea on the side of the boat.
Seeing that Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu didn't bring their own tea sets, they stepped forward and asked Zhong Hao what kind of tea he wanted to drink.
Zhong Hao asked the miscellaneous servant to report what kind of tea, and the miscellaneous servant reported, Zhong Hao asked for a pot of Wuyi Xiaolongtuan, of course, he didn't forget to tell him to brew the clear tea, don't order tea.
Zhong Hao and Fu Ruozhu sat on the boat, chatting while sipping tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery, which was quite comfortable. (To be continued.) )
