Cai Zhao also asked Meng Tianchu's opinion for the matter of being a wet nurse for the Yang family, but he still softened his heart and said some good intercessions for the two of them, as for how Cai Zhao dealt with it in the end, Meng Tianchu didn't ask.

The weather was cool on this day, and Xu Wei and Sima Ru were also preparing to leave the capital in three days, so Meng Tianchu decided to invite the two of them to Hangzhou Mansion for a day, which was considered to be a practice for the two of them.

Meng Tianchu took Chai Meng and led Xu Wei and Sima Ru to drive to the West Lake.

As the saying goes, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Walking into the West Lake, the eyes are full of lush greenery, and rows of willow trees stand together by the West Lake. The green willows support the wind, dancing lightly and flying. Meng Tianchu four people first took the small sedan chair on the edge of the West Lake for visitors to sit for a while, and then went on the "West Lake Three Causeways", the most classic of which is to walk between the three embankments, there is a saying in Hangzhou, called: "The White Causeway is classical, the Su Causeway is romantic, and the Yanggong Causeway is quiet." ”

Of course, these three mentions did not have such a saying in the Ming Dynasty, but Meng Tianchu likes to use the past for the present, and the present is for the ancient envoys, the combination of the ancient and the modern, and the play is naturally about physical and mental pleasure, as long as it is what he likes.

Facing us is the largest "release pond" in West Lake, which contains turtles and crucian carp. A tail of red carp swims in the green water, rippling countless ripples, thousands of golden turtles are densely lying on the shore or on the rockery to play or pretend to sleep, between the movement and quiet, the red and green constitute a particularly moving scene.

Playing in West Lake in summer is even more unique. A boat rocking on the West Lake. Ten miles of lotus, a few people sit on the boat to play, enjoy the flowers, enjoy the scenery, and the graceful woman on the white causeway. Seven-colored colored skirts. Looking at the ground, Meng Tianchu and several people had no intention of talking. It feels really good that way.

From the play down, walk slowly along the river embankment, a rare cool weather, people come out to play, you can see a lot of bridges everywhere along the way. One of the most famous is the Wuting Bridge. It is also called the Lotus Bridge, and the White Tower. It's exactly the same as Beijing's.

The White Causeway is also a famous scenic spot on the West Lake, not to mention that it was in the Ming Dynasty. Even in modern times, it is also a good place for young men and women to talk about love.

Meng Tianchu and the four of them walked on the embankment and saw some people surrounding the embankment. And they went forward. I saw an old man sitting on a small bench, holding an erhu in his hand, and pulling it up for a while. He began to speak, as if he was listening to a book there.

The old man spoke in the native language of Hangzhou, and even Meng Tianchu didn't have a few words to understand, although the old man was speaking with emotion, but there were not many people who stopped. Meng Tianchu and they listened for a while, Xu Wei was fine. That Sima Ru really said that he wanted to leave, so Meng Tianchu put ten copper coins in a broken bowl at the old man's feet, and then walked away.

Sima Ru said: "I see that you are listening with relish, what did the old man say?" ”

Xu Wei: "It's nothing more than some allusions and legends about West Lake. ”

Sima Ru said with some regret: "It's a pity that I don't understand, in fact, I still like to listen to these allusions, some of them are very interesting." ”

Meng Tianchu: "It doesn't matter, when I walk to a scenic spot, I'll tell you the allusion to that attraction." ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "There are many views of this West Lake, where is the end of the land?" In addition to the broken bridge, ten miles of lotus, there is also the Diaoyu Tai. Twenty-four bridges ranked. One of the twenty-four bridges is very famous. Because it is 24 meters long. Width 2.4: Landscape. And can sing a Yangzhou minor tune.

There are always any memories of the West Lake in summer, Meng Tianchu every time he walks here, he remembers that there have been many stories on the West Lake, on the hazy broken bridge, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen who are holding hands and looking at each other, Wansong Academy Lang Lang secretly looks at each other, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai who smile knowingly, Su Xiaoxiao who is fluttering in Mucai Pavilion by Xiling Bridge, and Leifeng Tower, it seems that when you arrive at the West Lake, you will unconsciously think of many stories related to love.

The four big men walked on the edge of the West Lake, and at first they said a few words, and then they thought about their own thoughts, probably attracted by the scenery of the lake and mountains, and felt that no words seemed to have words.

Suddenly, there was a light rain in the sky, and the four of them quickly found a pavilion to shelter from the rain, and the four of them just entered, followed by four or five more people, and the pavilion suddenly became crowded.

Xu Wei said: "The mountains are empty and rainy, and the South Palace is pouring ink in the Wangli South Palace." ”

Sima Ru patted the rain on his body and said with a smile: "Brother Xu's poetry is up?" ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Where is it, it's just some emotion." ”

Meng Tianchu was not interested in these mediocre things, so he just smiled and didn't speak, this summer in Hangzhou is like this, this rain will fall, where there is no omen, and even thunder and lightning will not be one.

Chai Meng stood beside Meng Tianchu and said, "It's raining for about half a day, I should go and find a few umbrellas, it's not appropriate to let a few masters stand here all the time." ”

Meng Tianchu thought about it and agreed.

Chai rushed into the rain, and after a while, he disappeared. A scholar in a green coat and white shirt next to him stood at the entrance of the pavilion and said, "It's too much to ask someone to get an umbrella when it's raining so hard." ”

Meng Tianchu looked over, only to see the side of the scholar, only to see the scholar open the folding fan to cover his face, Meng Tianchu couldn't see his appearance, and he didn't speak, just follow what the scholar said.

An old man next to the scholar, judging from the dress, may be the scholar's attendant, the old man looked at Meng Tianchu, and quickly smiled, even if he compensated Meng Tianchu for himself, Meng Tianchu also smiled slightly.

The rain continued to fall, and after a while, Chai Meng came back, took four bamboo umbrellas, handed them to a few adults one by one, and kept one for himself.

Meng Tianchu saw that Chai Meng's whole body was wet, so he said, "Let's quickly find a place to drink some hot tea, and you can also find a way to change your wet clothes so as not to catch a cold." ”

Chai Meng said with a smile: "I'm young, it's okay, let's go, I have set a place for a few masters in the restaurant in front, let's go have tea and eat something." ”

Xu Wei and Sima Ru walked out of the pavilion with umbrellas first, and Meng Tianchu walked to the old man, handed his bamboo umbrella to the old man, and said, "This rain will probably not stop for a while and a half." Old man, you take it first. ”

The old man hurriedly said, "No need. If we take it, you won't have it, you still use it and use it well, and we'll wait. ”

Meng Tianchu

The scholars were retreating from each other, and the scholar turned around, but Meng Tianchu looked like a handsome scholar, and he looked a little thinner.

The scholar took the bamboo umbrella in his hand. smiled at Meng Tianchu, but there was no friendliness in that smile, but a little more ridicule and banter.

"They are so kind to you. You still hold it. Besides, he doesn't have an umbrella, isn't there anyone who will give it to him? He doesn't get wet, what are you worried about this kind of person doing? ”

Meng Tianchu was about to speak. Chai Meng stepped forward and said angrily: "Master Meng, why are you doing this? If people don't sell it if they are pleased, why should you be a good person. "I'm going to grab the umbrella.

Meng Tianchu scolded: "Don't be rude. ”

Chai Meng stopped at this time, and Meng Tianchu said: "I gave this umbrella to the old man." I think this benevolent brother is also a person, so naturally he will not grab his hands and not give it to the old man. Chai Meng, let's go. ”

The scholar was robbed of a sentence by Meng Tianchu, and then said angrily: "I don't think you are much better, and you have the ability to get caught in the rain and find an umbrella by yourself, why should others get caught in the rain?" ”

Before Meng Tianchu could speak, Chai Meng grabbed Bai and said, "I'm willing, what can you do?" ”

Xu Wei and Sima Ru saw that they were still talking, so they stopped and waited for Meng Tianchu and them.

Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, let's go." Then he saluted the old man, led Chai Meng out of the pavilion, and the two of them left with an umbrella.

The scholar said in the back, "Take your stinky umbrella away." ”

When the old man saw that the scholar was about to throw away the umbrella, he hurriedly grabbed it and said with a smile: "Young master, you! Or this temper, who provoked you? You're pleasing yourself again. ”

The scholar raised his eyebrows coldly, and said negatively: "I am most disgusted with those who take themselves seriously. ”

The old man smiled: "Actually, that master looks like a very good person, people are willing to do this for him, and he didn't force others, why are you angry!" ”

"I'm just angry!"

"I see you, it's been locked up at home for the past few days, and it's not pleasing to see anyone, isn't it?"

The scholar looked at the old man, finally smiled, and said: "You still know my thoughts, I am indeed angry when I see everyone, and I hate to find someone to fight now." ”

The old man laughed a few times and said: "Then don't look for strangers' stubble, then the future life is good-tempered, if you meet a stubborn place, today the old body will probably look at the ground, if you are beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, don't call the old body to help you, my old bones can't even kill chickens now, let alone fight." ”

The scholar also smiled and said, "You, you are purely gloating, I will ignore you." ”

After speaking, he walked outside the pavilion, and the old man hurriedly opened the umbrella and chased after him, and hit the umbrella on the top of the scholar's head, and the master and servant left with a smile.

Meng Tianchu and the others came to a restaurant on the edge of the West Lake and sat down, and the location was just right to see the rain scene of the West Lake, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

At this time, Xu Wei pointed to the woman with an umbrella downstairs and said, "Come and see this woman downstairs." ”

Everyone leaned to the window to look, and sure enough, they saw a woman standing in the rain with an umbrella, although the rain outside was lighter, but there was still no intention to stop.

Sima Ru: "What is there to look at for a woman?" She was still holding an umbrella, and she couldn't see her face at all, so she was probably waiting for someone. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that although the woman was holding an umbrella, she should be a young woman from the point of view of her clothes, and she was not an ordinary woman, and her clothes were gorgeous.

The woman had been standing in the rain, not moving, and the passers-by had hurried by, and no one had noticed.

Meng Tianchu: "That woman's clothes should be all wet, I'm afraid I'll get sick if I get drenched like this." ”

Sima Ru: "Forget it, don't care, it's probably who are you waiting for, it's not appropriate for a few of us big men to come forward and care." ”

As he was talking, he saw an old man and a young man walking not far away, Chai Meng's eyes were sharp, and he said, "Master Meng, you see that it is the attendant of the scholar who quarreled with you just now." ”

Meng Tianchu fixed his eyes, and sure enough, it was them.

I saw that the woman suddenly threw the umbrella away, rushed to them, walked straight to the man, and hugged the man tightly.

This is really a dramatic scene, Xu Wei joked: "I don't know if there are more dramas in Hangzhou, or if there are more bitches, it is still more open than the capital, and it is actually hugged and hugged in front of the public, what kind of system has it become?" ”

Meng Tianchu spat out and said, "I probably can't help it." ”

Sima Ru said while looking at the stirring scene downstairs: "I can't help it! ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Sima Ru and saw that he was also looking at him, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

I saw that the scholar didn't seem to appreciate it, and pushed the woman away with hatred, and the woman's body shook and fell to the ground.

Meng Tianchu: "Damn! ”

Xu Wei: "Very hateful! ”

Sima Ru followed and said: "The most hateful of the hateful! ”

The woman struggled to get up, as if she was crying something, the book didn't pay attention to the physiology, and walked towards the restaurant, the woman stepped forward to chase, the old man grabbed the woman, and couldn't see the old man's expression clearly, Meng Tianchu guessed that the old man was probably persuading the woman something, and sure enough, the woman collapsed to the ground, the umbrella fell to the side, the old man shook his head, and followed the scholar into the restaurant.

Meng Tianchu saw that the woman had been sitting in the rain, so he said to Chai Meng: "You let Xiao Er persuade and persuade, don't sit like that all the time, be careful about your body." ”

Chai Meng listened and went downstairs, and happened to meet the scholar who came upstairs, Chai Meng looked at it with disdain, and took a sip, the scholar seemed to be very unhappy, Tie blushed and walked upstairs depressedly, Xiao Er hurriedly followed, and sat in the private room opposite Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu saw the scholar sitting at the table, holding his cheeks with his hands as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't pay attention to the person sitting in the private room opposite.

Sima Ru walked to the door, looked at the scholar in the opposite room who was already drenched like a chicken in soup, and sneered: "Man, the most terrible thing is not the indiscriminate love, but the ruthlessness after the indiscriminate love." Women can do without, but don't throw it off like a torn garment. ”
