Chapter 43: Suzhou (1)

Suzhou was called Wuhui in ancient times, with three rivers, with five lakes, there is a proverb nowadays "on heaven, down on Suzhou and Hangzhou", it can be seen that Suzhou has a great reputation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Chen Yu sat on a passenger boat, feeling the simplicity of the "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City", blowing the river breeze, and all the complicated things were thrown aside.

The closer to the center of the wharf, the more and more passenger boats and people around it, until getting off the boat, Chen Yu really felt the liveliness of Suzhou City, the wharf slender man, the rich businessmen, and the craftsmen shuttled around the wharf from time to time.

Entering the city, what catches your eye is a row of houses, the market sells gold, silver, pearls and jade, sara silk forging, sea and land treasures, with the sound of the neighborhood selling, but you can see the monks and monks of the traveling side, the students of the wandering apartment, the rich merchants, the idle wanderers, the old farmers who enter the city to sell, the beggars and so on.

At this time, Suzhou seems to be the fashion capital of the moment, and Suzhou's fame lies in "people".

Suzhou people are good at imitating ancient laws, making fake bone Dong, copying calligraphy and painting, and the things they create are difficult to distinguish between true and false, which can be called a must.

Nowadays, some people say: The flower seller picks up the flowers, which is bright and lovely, and there is no real one.

Walking in the market, Chen Yu was lost for a while, so he asked someone how to go north of the city.

The man's eyebrows were rattle, his eyes rolled in his sockets, and he said, "But visiting relatives and friends?" ”

Chen Yu replied, "Exactly." ”

"Is there a gift of empty hands? Suzhou people pay the most attention to etiquette, you are so afraid that it is not appropriate, in this way, I have a few pairs of Mr. Hengshan's words, see that you are a scholar, this visit must also be a great Confucian, if this is sent to the wouldn't be wonderful? The man replied.

Chen Yu thought about it for a while, so he was ready to pay for it, but when he just paid for it, someone around him stopped him and said: "Slow and slow, can the little brother count a hexagram?" ”

It turned out to be an idle Taoist priest, and the guy who was going to sell it to Chen Yuzi before was not happy, and he said angrily: "Where did the wild Taoist priest come from, looking for someone else." ”

Who knew that the Taoist priest did not show weakness, he said: "The person who adjusted it, but you want me to tell others about your style?" ”

After the Taoist priest finished saying this, the little guy left in a gloomy manner.

The Taoist priest was wearing a long green robe, with a white placket and a middle single, and a pair of heavenly and earth plates in his hands.

Chen Yu asked curiously, "Why can't I understand what Shicaier is saying?" Why is that guy gone? ”

"Hey, you, you, you were almost fooled, where is Mr. Hengshan's words? It is copied by others, and this kind of person is called "tuning" by us, and what he is best at is deceiving foreign merchants and foolish villagers. The Taoist priest said, "People like you are their best object!" ”

"Well, there's anything else going on? It's a long heart, thank you, may I ask the chief if you know how to go north of the city? I lost my way for a while, and I was ashamed. Chen Yu asked.

The Taoist priest pinched his fingers and calculated, and after half a salary, he pointed in a direction and said, "There it is." ”

"Well, this direction was calculated by the Dao Chief?" Chen Yu asked in disbelief, if it was really calculated, Chen Yu felt that it was more appropriate to ask someone else, although he had not told his fortune in the Ming Dynasty, but he also knew that this kind of thing was simply nonsense, if he could calculate it accurately, he would not go home to live with gold bricks, as for such a shabby wandering in this market?

The Taoist looked at Chen Yu like an idiot, and said after a long time: "Of course not, the old Taoist is not stupid enough to not know the direction!" ”

"Well, this is offended." Chen Yu said embarrassedly.

"I'm going to give you a hexagram, you will be stolen today!" The Taoist priest said, "It's better to be careful." ”

Chen Yu smiled and said, "There is a long way to go, say goodbye." "It's not that he hasn't seen this kind of trick, he is a human being in two lives, if he is deceived by this kind of trick, Chen Yu can die headlong.

"Heh~ I see that you are quite disdainful of the old way's fortune telling!" The Taoist priest said: "I'll give you a hexagram for free, calculate when you were stolen, if you make a mistake, the old Taoist will not accept a penny, give you a tael of silver, if it is wrong, you can give the old Taoist five words, how about it?" ”

Chen Yu was interested, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't know what kind of hexagram I am proficient in?" ”

At present, eleven kinds of divination techniques are prevalent, which are Lingqi hexagrams, Taisu Mai, Zhou Yi, Liuren starting classes, ringing divination, throwing cages, supporting Luan, looking at qi, divination, praying for dreams, and money divination.

The profession of divination has been prevalent for a long time, but right and wrong, it is all in the sky, as the so-called, reckless with your eyes open, blind with your eyes closed, that knows how to blame? The years and months make Fei Drill and beg, it is more false, four three passes, Zhang Ba Li Jiu, a pile should not be mouthed, the pillow of "Baizhongjing", the hexagram box is in hand, and the flower is going to be Hu Jiang.

The old Taoist said: "Liuren starts class!" ”

The so-called six Ren starting class, is considered to be a more difficult line in divination, can know this generally have to understand some knowledge, this technique uses the five elements of yin and yang to divinate good fortune, and Dunjia, Taiyi together called three types, sixty Jiazi, in the middle of the six, respectively, Ren Shen, Ren Wu, Ren Chen, Ren Yin, Ren Zi, Ren Xu, collectively known as the six Ren.

I saw that the old Taoist immediately closed his eyes, combined the heaven and the earth together, and recited in his mouth: "The art of divination is one phase, two is life, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of merits, five is reading, yin and yang five elements, three styles are one-self "six ren", open! ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes suddenly opened, his hands turned fiercely on the heavenly disk, and after stopping, looking at the time of the ground where the pointer on the heavenly disk was pointing, he frowned and said to himself: "There is a big murderer?" ”

Then he stared at that hour for a while, and frowned again: "No, your money was stolen not long ago?" ”

Pretending, Chen Yu smiled and said: "Dao Chang's skills are profound, I admire it, this money is in my hand...... "Oh, where is my money?" Obviously always in your hand?

Chen Yu groped around on his body, but he didn't find any money.

At this time, Chen Yu was looking at the Taoist priest, with a trace of immortal style and skinny, his eyes were full of reverence, and today he really met the immortals such as Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Dare to ask the name of the immortal Dao?" ”

"The name is before the monk, it doesn't hurt to say it, Shao Yuanjie, the law name is to a real person!" To one: "I just want you to know that my Taoist is not a person who pretends to be a ghost, today's five cents, if there is a fate, you are giving the poor Dao, farewell!" ”

After he finished speaking, he left with a pair of compasses in his hands.

It's really unlucky, Chen Yu carried his bags on his back, and walked towards the north of the city, and the first time he went out, he was stolen, which was really unfavorable!

The old road walked for a while, glanced back, and after seeing Chen Yu's figure, he turned around and turned into an alley.

There was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the alley, dressed as a beggar, dirty, but the pair of smart eyes were in stark contrast to the dirty up and down, if you looked closely, you found that under the dirty clothes was wrapped in a delicate and handsome little face.

At this time, the Taoist priest who called Zhiyi immediately changed his face, and hurriedly smiled: "Zhimo, how much money does that fool have?" ”

The little girl's name is Huang Wan, an orphan who is a homeless person, and was adopted by this old Taoist priest, so he named her Zhimo, saying that it will take a long, long time to go from Zhimo to Zhiyi, and when the little girl enlightens the Tao, she will call him by name.

"Master, Master, that guy actually has ten taels of silver tattoos on his body, which is enough for us to eat." Speaking of eating, both of them screamed unconsciously.

Apologetically, he said, "I haven't opened for a long time, and today I can finally have a good night's meal." ”

"Master, I want to live in the mansion, I want to take a bath, I want to eat Yangchun noodles!" Fantasy leaked from Zhi's eyes, and he unconsciously left saliva.

"What Yangchun noodles to eat? No prospects! Zhiyi said: "Why do you have to add two eggs!" ”

…………

Chen Yu walked for a long time, crossed a mound of dirt slope, the flowing water curled around, the stone road made of a few stones led to a small firewood house not far away, the firewood house was fenced in front of the door, and a few dead branches led to the outside of the fence, quite a kind of artistic conception of "should pity the tooth mark moss, and the small button firewood door will not be opened for a long time".

But when he walked to the door, he didn't close the door, and he heard a few hearty laughter in the courtyard, and someone chanted: "The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money." When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-drunk and half-awake day after day, the flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse; The car dust and horses are full of fun for the rich, and the wine cup is rich in flowers. If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the heavens; If wealth is compared to chariots and horses, he must drive me to be idle. Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it; I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields. ”

"Brother Ziwei, Duan's great talent, oh, no, it should be called the master of the Peach Blossom Nunnery." The man laughed when he finished groaning.

"What did the teacher say? I'd rather paint than make poetry, but it would take me more time than my teacher! "Who is this voice, not Tang Bohu? The arrogance in the words, and the boldness with a hint of unwillingness.

"If you don't alchemy pills, you don't sit in meditation, you don't plough the fields for businessmen. Idle to write a piece of Danqing to sell, so as not to make evil money in the world. Chen Yu chanted with a smile outside, and then buckled the door and said: "You should pity the moss on the tooth prints, and the small button firewood will not be opened for a long time." The singing is full of gardens and can't be closed, and guests come from Qiantang, Hangzhou. ”

Tang Bohu in the park heard this voice, and smiled at the youngest person among the people: "My good apprentice is here, Brother Changgu, you have to have a good conversation with him, and next year we will go to Beijing together to catch the exam!" ”

"Is that Chen Tingyu, who is the second in the Hangzhou Township Test?" The man who was called Brother Singgu asked.

"Exactly!"

After saying that, Tang Bohu got up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard with a smile.
