Chapter 116 The Clear Spring Stone is upstream
Today's visit to Daming Lake, this time after swimming, Shen Ze felt that this Jinan City is known as "not out of the city and get the joy of mountains and rivers, living in the downtown and having the spirit of forests and springs", but it is really worthy of its name. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This trip, not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake, but also had a chance encounter with Tang Bohu, so that Shen Ze got a landscape painting of Tang Bohu's Daming Lake, and by the way, he also got acquainted with a charming Qing~Lou famous prostitute, which was really worth the trip.
Of course, in addition to getting a painting and getting acquainted with a beautiful woman, Shen Ze also found a way to make money. It's just that today's elegant meeting, talking about some copper-smelling things is too bad scenery, and Shen Ze has not discussed Tang Bohu's discussion of co-creating the illustrated "Gold~Bottle~Mei" to make money.
However, Shen Ze had already asked Tang Bohu that he was going to stay in Jinan Mansion for a while, because he didn't talk to him about it today, and he felt that it was not too late to talk about it another day. In Shen Ze's opinion, Tang Bohu will definitely agree to his good idea of making money together.
At this party with Tang Bohu, he really stayed in this Azure Xuan for a long time, and seeing the sunset, Gao Yu invited Tang Bohu to live in the Gao family's mansion for a while.
Tang Bohu and Gao Yu and Shen Ze hit it off at first sight, and originally wanted to follow Gao Yu and Shen Ze to the Gao family's mansion for more talking, but he didn't resist Yun Yihan's invitation, and finally followed Yun Yihan to Cuiyan Building.
Before leaving, Tang Bohu wrote down the address of the Gao family's shop, promised to visit Gao Yu and Shen Ze in the next few days, and called them to visit the moat of Jinan City together.
The city wall of Jinan Mansion City is twelve miles around, and this moat is slightly longer than Jinan Mansion City, with thirteen miles. The moat formed by the confluence of springs in various places is like a jade belt around Jinan Fucheng, and it is like a necklace connecting scenic spots, known as "a river with a hundred scenes".
It is said that along the moat to take the painting boat forward, you can see the black tiger roaring moon, Baotu sky, Luoyuan Qifeng, Longtan fish, crescent moon waterfall, magpie flower smoke and rain, Huibo evening sunshine, autumn willow smoke, transcendent Zhiyuan, Zeng Di lingering water and other hundreds of scenic spots, compared with the scenery of Daming Lake.
Gao Yu and Shen Ze are also very yearning for the Jinan moat of "one river with a hundred scenes", and when they heard Tang Bohu's words, they all responded with a smile, but they all said that they would have to wait for the autumn moat to swim in the moat of Jinan City together, after all, it was only a few days before the autumn festival, and they couldn't play all day.
…………
The Gao family's shop is on Yifeng Street, and the location is not very good.
Not far from the south of Yifeng Street, there is the Licheng County School Palace, which is quite literate. Not far from the east is the Gongyuan Wallen Street, Shandong Gongyuan is on this street, but it is very convenient to go to the Gongyuan to participate in the autumn examination.
And not far to the west of Yifeng Street is the Dewang Mansion. Speaking of this Dewang Mansion, we have to mention this pearl spring.
The famous springs of Jinan City are claimed to have seventy-two springs, and these seventy-two springs belong to the four major spring groups of Baotu Spring Group, Wulongtan Spring Group, Black Tiger Spring Group and Pearl Spring Group.
This pearl spring group has pearl springs, water springs, scattered water springs, Xiting springs, ash springs, pearl sand springs and other famous springs, and these famous springs also converge into the famous Maoying Lake, the scenery of this pearl spring group is also extremely beautiful.
But in Jinan, from the time of the Great Yuan Dynasty, ordinary people can only see the three famous springs of Baotu Spring, Wulong Pond and Black Tiger Spring, but this pearl spring group has no chance to see.
In the Great Yuan Dynasty, the beauty of this pearl spring belonged to Zhang Rong, the Duke of Jinan at that time.
In the Ming Dynasty, after the three divisions of Shandong moved from Qingzhou Mansion to Jinan Mansion, this Jinan Mansion became the Yamen of Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division! In the orthodox years, after the establishment of the Shandong governor, it became the yamen of the Shandong governor.
Later, in the Chenghua period of the previous dynasty, the second uncle of the current Hongzhi Emperor, Zhu Jianyan, the king of Dezhou who was feudal in Dezhou, suspected that the city of Dezhou was small and poor, so that the Chenghua Emperor changed the title to Jinan, and since then the scenery of the pearl springs has become the scenery in the palace of the king of De.
This pearl spring group has always been not the prince's mansion, or the official yamen, and ordinary people naturally can't see it.
This pearl spring ordinary people can not see, there are those who are fortunate to enter the palace to see this pearl spring and the lake of the water, after seeing the natural to boast to relatives and friends about the beauty of the pearl spring, is that the scenery of this pearl spring will be more and more beautiful, attracting many people to not be able to see the beauty of this pearl spring and regret.
Shen Ze also listened to the big shopkeeper of the Gao family in Jinan to talk about this matter, according to the tall shopkeeper, the pavilions and water pavilions in the Dewang Mansion, the golden splendor, the stone bridge winding path, and the famous flower turn. In the lake, the blue waves are rippling, crystal clear, the pavilions are scattered, and the reflection enters the waves. Sometimes the white clouds are swirling, and the water is connected to the sky, and the palace is faintly picturesque in the smoke, even the Penglai in the sky is just like that.
Of course, in this meeting, the tall shopkeeper also heard from others, and he had never entered the Dewang Mansion.
The shop of the Gao family is really not small, and the shop occupies half of this Yifeng Street. This shop is in the front and back yard layout, the shop of this shop is so large, the yard behind it is naturally not small.
When Shen Ze entered this courtyard, he was very pleasantly surprised to find that there was a spring in the courtyard of the Gao family.
At this time, it was the autumn season of abundant water, and Shen Ze saw that the spring was bubbling with spring water, flowing into a large pond with rippling blue waves next to 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.
Shen Zexin said: This courtyard 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.
Shen Ze, a house slave who originally came from later generations, was very proud of his fact that after he came to Daming, he had a set of courtyards in Qingzhou Mansion City, and he didn't have to pay off the mortgage. This is a random set of yards of the Gao family in Jinan City, all with shops along the street, and their own springs, I can't help but feel that the goods have to be thrown away, and my yard is really not enough to see. In vain, I used to think that my yard was very good with a sweet well! This is too low compared to the natural spring in the yard of others!
At that moment, Shen Ze couldn't help but ask the tall shopkeeper who was following him and Gao Yu with envy: "There is actually a spring in our yard, this yard is not cheap, right?" ”
The tall shopkeeper knew that the Shen Gongzi in front of him would soon become the uncle of their Gao family, so he was very respectful to him. After listening to Shen Ze's question, he replied with a smile: "Back to Shen Gongzi, our courtyard is indeed quite valuable, and the main reason why we are not here is because our courtyard is in a good location, not because there is a spring in our courtyard." In our Jinan city, there is a spring in this house, which is a rare thing. The big families in Jinan City basically have one or two springs! This is a yard in Jinan, without one or two springs, it is really not a big family! ”
Shen Ze couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "This big family has one or two springs?!" How many springs does this Jinan City have?! Isn't this Jinan just having four major springs and seventy-two springs?! ”
The tall shopkeeper listened to Shen Ze's words, and couldn't help but smile and replied: "Shen Gongzi is afraid that he has misunderstood, this Jinan claims to have seventy-two springs, which means that the famous spring has seventy-two holes. In fact, the springs in Jinan Mansion 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 Jinan City, because many of them are in the courtyards of this big family, and it is impossible to count an accurate number. However, it is said that there are thousands of springs in the territory under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture, but there are seven or eight hundred springs inside and outside the city of Jinan, and there are also many springs in Zhangqiu County, which is known as the 'Little Spring City'. Zhangqiu's Baimai Spring Group is sometimes called the Five Great Springs Group of Jinan Mansion together with the four major spring groups of Jinan! ”
Shen Ze listened to the words of the tall shopkeeper, and couldn't help nodding his head again and again, it turns out that there are so many springs in Jinan Mansion, and it turns out that this courtyard with springs is nothing in Jinan City!
However, Shen Ze is still very envious of this courtyard with springs, and when he has money in the future, he will also come to Jinan, the provincial capital, to get a courtyard with springs. Jinan, the provincial capital, is also a level higher than the Qingzhou capital, and people go to higher places, and when they are developed, it is also good to move from the capital to the provincial capital, and it can be regarded as a higher grade.
Although Gao Yu had never been to Jinan City before, he was very elegant, and he also knew some elegant things about Jinan City, and said to Shen Ze with a smile: "It is said that because there are many springs in Jinan City, there is often a scene of 'clear spring stone upstream' in this Jinan City in the summer and autumn abundant water season." In this summer and autumn, the spring water in the city of Jinan gushes, not only the rockery 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'! There is a lot of rain this year, we are in Jinan during this time, if we catch up with the rainy day, maybe we can see the scenery of this 'clear spring stone upstream'. ”
Shen Ze couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Gao Yu's words, and said very speechlessly: "Big brother, what do you have to 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 Jinan City, but is there any difference between this and the rainwater flowing in Qingzhou Mansion?! ”
Gao Yu listened to Shen Ze'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 Hao is also right, this 'Qingquan Stone Upstream' doesn't seem to be much to look at!" When I was in Qingzhou, I listened to the seniors who came to Jinan to participate in the autumn festival boasting about the scenery of the 'Qingquan Stone Upstream' in Jinan City, and I thought it was indeed very meaningful! ”
The tall shopkeeper heard the conversation between his eldest son and his aunt-to-be, and couldn't help but be a little speechless! He really wanted to point out their misunderstanding of this "Qingquan Stone Upstream", but he felt that it was a little inappropriate, so he didn't say it, and he was a little uncomfortable, but in the end he didn't hold it back, and said with a gentle smile at the moment: "The eldest young master, Shen Gongzi, 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 Gao Yu and Shen Ze heard the tall shopkeeper's explanation of this "Qingquan Stone Upstream", they were both a little embarrassed, and Gao Yu and Shen Ze were a little clever just now.
Shen Ze is very good at dealing with embarrassment, and at that moment he no longer talked about the topic that embarrassed them just now, but said haha, and said to Gao Yu: "Big brother, the scenery of our courtyard is very good!" ”
Gao Yu said in a very Marian tone: "Yes, I didn't expect our yard to have such a good view, this time we must stay for a few more days!" ”
Shen Ze immediately asked the tall shopkeeper and said, "Tall shopkeeper, where do we live?!" Hurry up and arrange a place for me to live! ”
Gao Yu also said: "Yes, Gao Fu, take us to the residence quickly, this way from Qingzhou Mansion, we are really a little tired!" ”
The tall shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Okay, young master, Shen Gongzi, you come with the old slave." Your residence is naturally in the backyard, this front yard is where the old slave and the guys live, and the guards of our Gao family who came with the eldest son, the old slave has already arranged a place for them to live. ”
At that moment, the tall shopkeeper led Gao Yu and Shen Ze to the backyard. Shen Ze saw that the backyard was more elegant than the front yard, and there was also a spring and a pond.
The tall shopkeeper said to Gao Yu and Shen Ze: "Although you rarely come to live in this backyard, the old slave has been taking care of it, I have already cleaned up this main house, and all the family and bedding are new, the eldest young master and Shen Gongzi, you look at that room and it is pleasing to the eye, which one to live in!" ”
Shen Ze looked at the spacious and bright main rooms, and couldn't help but sigh very emotionally, it's not bad to have a powerful old man. If there is no yard of this old man's house, he may have to squeeze the inn now! In this autumn, the number of talents who came to Jinan to take the exam is said to be three or four thousand, and if they come to Jinan late, it is estimated that they will not even be able to find a room.
Although this Jinan City is a provincial capital, but the urban area of this era is far less large than the urban area of later generations, this inn is also limited, three or four thousand people are pouring into Xiucai at once, and many of those Xiucai are bringing maids, scholars, etc. to the exam, I am afraid that Jinan City is really full of high, medium and low-end inns, and they may not be able to live. Shen Ze couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to the city to take the civil service exam in later generations.
In other words, Shen Ze has basically not taken the exam since he was admitted to the civil service in later generations, but he didn't expect to come to Daming, but he had to take an important exam in his life, Shen Ze couldn't help but feel a little very subtle.
