Chapter 294 The Floating Incense Workshop Goes to the Hongmen Banquet

In Marco Polo's travels, the city of Hangzhou has been pushed to an unprecedented height, and if you have seen it, you will definitely think that this is a replica of the water city of Venice. But Wang Fulin, who successfully crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, after being in Hangzhou twice, wanted to tell everyone who had never been to Hangzhou - Hangzhou in these years did have the same name as Suzhou, and the waterways that extend in all directions can take you out of the city and into the city, and even go directly to the West Lake - so the last time they took a carriage to the West Lake and then changed the boat, it was definitely a typical foreigner's practice.

At this moment, he went out of the city through a small single-storey painting boat with a small sparrow, and then went to a waterway in Guò, and came to the West Lake where he had visited yesterday, and he deeply realized this. During the previous stay in Hangzhou Mansion, Huang Long left for a moment and inquired for him who the people who coveted the dozen acres of land in Daddy Lin's house were sacred. And as soon as he returned to the inn, he had just spoken a few words to everyone, and before he had time to eat dinner, the post came after him with a boat, which was enough to represent the overwhelming power of the old man Chen behind him in Hangzhou City.

Therefore, before leaving, he instructed Ye Mingyue Xiaobei a few words, and asked Yang Wencai to pick out the four best dart masters - his dart game sign has not been officially hung out, except for Mrs. Su's mission, the rest of the time has been used by him for private purposes, but now he has to continue to do this, who told his father, who has not met until now, has lost all the family funds, and there are many people selected by Steward Xie, but it is difficult to find this kind of family. Besides, he only stayed in Hangzhou for seven or eight days, and he was followed by a local snake. It's much easier to get in and out.

At this moment. The four men were neatly dressed. He wore a silver flower representing the level of the dart master on his chest, and sat neatly in the cabin, which was the result of the special training he had received from Qi Liang's side before. Although I missed the time for the ordinary people's dinner, the boat that came to pick up the people was very well prepared, and among the three boxes, everything from lo-mei, pastries, and candied dried fruits was readily available. Wang Fu Lin tore a chicken wing with relish and ate a few pieces of braised rabbit meat. So he divided the rest among the four of them. Although it is not the first time that Wang Fulin has eaten and drunk spicy food, after the four of them have just eaten, some people still secretly smack their tongues.

Hangzhou cuisine was originally salty and sweet, and braised vegetables were not popular, at most they were things that the people at the bottom could afford, such as pig's head and pork pigs. But since the Cantonese merchants gradually went north, some of the cooks they brought with them were so integrated with local cuisine that they concocted a braised vegetable restaurant specializing in the business of the rich, exclusively for those West Lake cruises, each box with its own grade. The box they eat today is not cheap!

However. Such a small exclamation was washed into an unknown corner when the dim waters ahead suddenly shone brightly. It was a huge boat. From their distance, they could clearly see that there should be three floors, the length and width of which were better than ordinary paintings, and each floor was brightly lit. At this moment, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra suddenly became loud, wafting from the front for a while, straight into people's hearts. The song of Yuer sounded, penetrating the void of dozens of zhang between the two ships, and faintly passed over, it was Liu Yong's song that has been passed down through the ages. The southeast shape wins.

"The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, the smoke willow painting bridge, the wind curtain and green curtain, and the difference of 100,000 households."

"The clouds and trees surround the embankment, the angry waves roll the frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. ”

"Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua. ”

Although since the Yuan Dynasty, there are also literati who are good at writing small orders, but it is undeniable that any poem about Hangzhou, except for Su Shi's two sentences that want to compare West Lake to Xizi, heavy makeup is always appropriate, and this one is sung, which echoes around the beam, which is incomparable. At this moment, not to mention the four dart masters, they all showed a look of yearning, whether it was for the giant boat, or for the singing, even the boatman and others of the painting boat. Only Wang Fulin had seen countless times larger luxury cruise ships in his previous life, and had seen countless show-off singing and dancing performances, and his expression was quite calm at this moment.

In his previous life, he didn't listen to songs and sing very much, and he was barely pulled to karaoke, and he always yelled old songs when he opened his mouth, otherwise he wouldn't have sung so many songs in front of Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei, and a few more romantic and ancient songs, maybe he could make the beauties treat each other with blue eyes immediately. Burning the qin and boiling the crane to play the piano to the cow, he is talking about people like him!

When the painting boat leaned next to the giant boat, the originally quite delicate painting boat suddenly became a foil next to the giant Mac. Especially seeing the beautiful appearance of the two maids with lanterns on the bow of the boat, the boatman who was busy riding the board of the boat even straightened his eyes, and almost didn't catch the things handed by the other side. When it was easy to set up a three-foot-wide but one-zhang long plank, and fixed it again, he tried his best to stabilize the boat, and saw that Wang Gongzi, who had been ordered to pick him up before, got out of the cabin, and just took Shi Shiran to board the boat on the opposite side, he couldn't help but feel envious, and when he found that Wang Fulin was wearing a sword full of pearl and jade accessories at his waist, he couldn't help but pout again.

The people who go to this kind of place are all handsome boys with folding fans, but this one is a maverick, which is really weird! This is the most famous floating incense shop on the West Lake, and ordinary people can't go up even if they have money!

Because the whole boat can only be booked for one night, the guests are picked up by the generous host by the boat, and no individual guests are accepted.

Jumping on the bow of the boat and standing firmly, Wang Fulin noticed that although there was a light veil in the cabin on the first floor, he could see a lot of red, red, green and green figures. At this time, the two maids who were carrying lanterns to greet them bowed and said, "The maidservant is ordered to welcome the little official up to the third floor." ”

Wang Fulin didn't react when he heard the words on the third floor, but the boatman below opened his mouth wide. It wasn't until he watched Wang Fulin and his party follow him upstairs that he let out an envious exclamation from his mouth.

Ordinary poor people are scholars in Jinshi, and they may not be able to visit this place in their lifetime, and the little official who doesn't even know his surname is really lucky!

If he stayed a little longer, he would find that at this feast on the West Lake Floating Incense Workshop tonight, there were no guests on the first and second floors at all, only maids and singing and dancing girls. And Wang Fulin, who was on the third floor at this moment, saw the people inside after the curtain was opened.

Sitting in the center was an old man of about fifty years old, with a fat figure and a smile on his face, looking kind and warm. And the first person to sit on the right hand side, he will definitely not be a stranger, because it is the second master Xu. The second son of the old lady Xu on Doosan Street, who was very unfriendly to him because of Xu Wei, was looking at him with sneering eyes at this moment.

As if to say, I have exposed your advantage to people!

Wang Fulin had long expected that even if Zhang Taizheng did not necessarily go around after suffering a loss, and he also wrote a plaque couplet, the second master Xu had a deep prejudice against himself, and he was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to give up. Therefore, he ignored the demeanor of Second Master Xu, and his gaze swept over the faces of several other guests. All of them were young men under the age of twenty, and some responded with kindness, some with contempt and disdain, and some deliberately did not see ...... All in all, less kindness and more malice.

"It looks like it's a Hongmen feast!"

Wang Fulin muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and then walked through the door. It's just this door apart, whether it's the four dart masters behind him, or the two followers, no one can cross it. The rest of the occasion today needs to be handled by him alone. Thinking that when he learned about this before, after he instructed him, Ye Mingyue stopped Xiaobei who wanted to follow, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were also very worried, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and after a calm moment, he said with a smile: "I don't know that Master Chen's invitation at night turned out to be in such a beautiful place, and his eyes were opened in the evening!" ”

"If you can invite VIPs, this floating incense shop is full of brilliance." Old Man Chen was happy, as if he didn't have any mustard at all, but he actually stood up and personally pulled Wang Fulin to introduce everyone. For the second master Xu Lai sat just a little nod, as if he didn't see it, and introduced the four young people to Wang Fulin.

Hearing the titles of Sanying, Sijun, and Wujie, Wang Fulin had a serious face, but he smiled happily in his heart. Hangzhou is also regarded as the imperial examination mansion in Zhejiang, and it is not strange that there are all kinds of names that put gold on his face, but at this moment, why does it sound so like the bandit name of the people in the rivers and lakes?

West Lake Sanying? Lingyin Mountain Sijun? Five Heroes of Feilaifeng?

Wang Fulin himself was amused by his whimsy. And the faint smile on the corner of his mouth seemed arrogant and rude to some people. When Master Chen invited him to take a seat, it was just when Second Master Xu started that he could only hear a voice from above: "Today's hall is full of Hangzhou talents, Fu Lin, you represent our Huizhou, don't lose face." ”

How could Xu Wei have such a straw bale father? No wonder Mrs. Xu directly handed over the two Huai salt industries to his eldest son, judging from the situation when he and Xu Wei's third uncle went to Xu Village to pay their respects, the third master Xu also couldn't talk about the climate. The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper, probably referring to this kind of person who has no self-knowledge!

Several thoughts flashed in Wang Fulin's heart, and then he said with a smile: "Second Master Xu's words will torment me, I am walking outside, but I am just a talent who hangs at the end of the Taoist test and hangs at the end of the annual exam, and Huizhou doesn't know how many people are thousands of times better than me, how can I represent Huizhou?" ”

Without waiting for the second master Xu to speak, he calmly bowed his head slightly at those young scholars, and said with a smile: "I am a lazy nature, I am used to being insolent and arrogant, and I am really not a character in Huizhou, I want to disappoint you." Moreover, I just heard such a decent name as your three handsome, four handsome and five masters, and I am even more ashamed of myself. You must know that when I was in Huizhou, I also had a title, that is, the Little Disaster Star. ”

PS: Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Super Brand Plaza to make a fuss, the blood was red and fat, the piano rhythm was so thin, Ding Mo was so popular, I just watched the excitement...... On the twentieth, ask for a monthly pass and ask for a recommended ticket ^_^ (to be continued......)
