284 Twenty-Four Bridges
After Su You and Mai Tiezhu discussed the construction of the dock and the official office, they followed him to Tianya Pavilion, and then the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they broke up happily.
After returning to the post house, Su You rushed to make the drawings of the new wharf of Yangzhou and the office of the city of Bo Division overnight, and the next day after the drawings were sent to the hands of Mai Tiezhu, the rest of the thing he and came to Yanbei was to visit Yangzhou City.
However, Lu Zhongsu was obviously not in the mood to play, because half of the more than 100 people under his command wanted to rush home for the New Year.
Su You naturally knew the belief of the Chinese people that "they have to go home during the New Year", so instead of forcing them to stay, he gave them New Year's greetings and gifts in advance.
On the dock, the farewell continued, but Lu Zhongsu was a little worried, the main reason was because Su You was unwilling to let him go, and Zhai Rang repeatedly persuaded him to follow Su You to develop overseas trade.
Lu Zhongsu had no choice but to obey, this is due to Zhai Rang's contributions, Su You's hard work, and because of the changes on the dock.
Because Lu Zhongsu heard a not-so-good news when he said goodbye to his brothers,ββ in just one day, almost all the more than 3,000 boats sold by Su You yesterday had been gathered into the three newly established shipping companies, and now each of these three shipping companies has 17,800 ships. ββWhat kind of competitiveness can Lu Zhongsu's more than 20 ships have on this canal?
Instead of making phoenix tails again, it is better to follow Su You to be the first person to eat crabs!
After Lu Zhongsu came back from the dock, he seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, but fortunately, the remaining fifty or sixty brothers had no opinion; Su You was happy, so he gave them wine in Tianya Pavilion in advance, which was regarded as welcoming them to join the group.
When I was free, it was already the twenty-seventh year of the Lunar New Year, but fortunately, the weather in Yangzhou was not as cold as in the east.
After the little sun came out, it could be said that the wind and the sun were beautiful.
Su You saw that the weather was very good, so he accompanied him to Yanbei to go to Zenzhi Temple to incense, there was no way, the influence of Buddhism in this era was still very great; Although Su You didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, he couldn't resist the entanglement between Yanbei and Xia Ziwei after all.
Besides, if you go to Yangzhou and don't go to Zenzhi Temple and Daming Temple, are you embarrassed to tell people about Yangzhou?
Naturally, after arriving in later generations, Yangzhou's signboard became Slender West Lake, which is also the reason why Su You strongly requested to come here after coming out of Zenzhi Temple.
At this time, Slender West Lake is not called Slender West Lake, but Baoyang Lake.
Even if a rose is not called a rose, it is still fragrant. It's a pity that at this time, the West Lake can see its function from the name, and there is no half-point viewing effect at this time, it is just the moat of Yangzhou.
In the vicinity of Slender West Lake, there is no garden scenery, but there is a faint bridge made of white marble at the west end, but I don't know if it is a twenty-four bridge.
Su You's heart for the ancient was raised, and he said with undiminished interest, "Let's go to the bridge." β
Xia Ziwei seemed to be a little tired from shopping today, and said a little depressedly, "What is there to see in this wilderness?" Sir, this is obsessed. β
Su You ignored her, but pulled Yanbei and said to Wang Bodang and the others, "Why don't you rest here?" I just need Yanbei to walk with me. β
Wang Bodang and the others guessed that they were going to whisper, but they didn't expect that there would be no danger, so they had to nod their heads.
Coming to Yanbei to be pulled by Su You, although she is usually used to it, Su You is so high-sounding that she can't feel it; It's just that the husband and wife are in love, and they still have to give face, so they didn't shake off his hand.
followed Su You for dozens of steps, but couldn't help asking, "Mysteriously, what are you going to do?" β
Su You had no choice but to confess, "I heard that the bridge in front of me has some origins, so I want to find the ancients, and I'm afraid that they will be too tired, so I only pull you away." You and I are of the same heart, of course we have to share weal and woe, right? β
When I came to Yanbei to hear him say sweetly, my heart was as if I had eaten sugar, and I only asked, "What is the origin of the bridge?" β
"I've recited a poem before, and I'm a little puzzled by one of them." Su You let go of Lai Yanbei's hand, and the two walked side by side towards the bridge.
"Won't you make it up again and ask someone else's name or surname?" Lai Yanbei looked at Su You with some amusement, she said this because Su You asked other people's names to make too many poems.
In fact, those poems were originally theirs, and Su You only chanted them in response to the occasion, but why didn't they believe in themselves?
"How can I be so bored and embarrassed to ask myself questions? How is this different from playing chess with the left hand and the right hand? Su You shook his head and defended helplessly.
"Confucius said that the three provinces are my body, and Zhuang Zhou also asked himself if he was a butterfly." Lai Yanbei used two examples to refute Su You, and then the conversation changed again, "By the way, what is that poem?" β
Su You stopped, and then slowly chanted the poem in his heart, "The green mountains are faint and the water is far away, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered at the end of autumn." On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach. β
"Very good poetry, at least the artistic conception is very good." Lai Yanbei nodded, and was intoxicated by the poem for a while.
"Here comes the problem, some people say that these 24 bridges are 20 bridges in Yangzhou, and some people verify that the 24 bridges are a bridge to the west of Baoyang Lake."
Lai Yanbei said angrily and funny, "Where did you see this poem?" Are there so many bridges in Yangzhou? β
Su You shook his head, and had no choice but to say, "Do you want to say that when you appreciate poetry, you only appreciate poetry, and don't do those fearless researches?" β
Lai Yanbei nodded.
"Actually, there is a more important reason why I brought you here." Su You pulled up Yanbei again and said solemnly.
"A more important reason?"
"Do you remember the day we saw off Cheng Yizhen together?"
"Of course, what's the matter?" Lai Yanbei nodded, in fact, it was already the time before her marriage with Su You, and they couldn't meet lightly, but the day before was Turandot's birthday, and Su You gave her flowers.
The day before was also Daughter's Day, and after listening to Yang Suyan's emotion, she felt that she should go to see Su You, so she broke the ring of not seeing each other before marriage under the pretext of sending Cheng Cheng to bite the gold
Su You said slowly, "That day, I promised to plant you a thousand orchids. β
"Yes." Lai Yanbei nodded, but her heart was extremely excited, she originally thought that Su You was just a joke, and she forgot about it.
Speaking of which, what Su You said at the time was really a joke, but when he came to Yanbei to take it seriously, he had no choice but to take it seriously.
"Would I like to buy a piece of land here? Let's build a garden and plant a garden of orchids. When Su You said this, he suddenly became excited again, put down Yanbei's hand and gestured to himself, "No, not only orchids, but also other flowers, all kinds of flowers." β
"Hmm." Coming to Yanbei in Su You's words, he fantasized that if there was really a garden with all flowers, it would be good.
The more Su You spoke, the more excited he became, "I'll tell Brother Mai when I go back, I'm going to buy this piece." β
"This one?" Lai Yanbei's eyes widened.
"Yes, get a botanical garden, there are all kinds of plants in it, and if others want to come in and see the plants they haven't seen before, buy tickets first." Su You nodded and said with a smile.
"Are you serious?" Coming to Yanbei just now, his heart was a little cold, it turned out that Su You built this garden not to please himself, but more importantly, to make a profit.
But after thinking about it, Lai Yanbei laughed again in his heart, Su You has always been unjustifiable, even if it is for your good, he will find other reasons, such as this time.
Su You said as a matter of course, "Do you think I'm joking?" β
Lai Yanbei shook her head, this time she took the initiative to take Su You's hand, and the two walked towards the bridge.
After walking a few steps, he saw an eleven or twelve-year-old girl turn out from behind the tree, but behind her there was a man in his forties who looked like a servant shouting two words to her, Su You heard from his last "Smecta" that they might be from Sanhan.
A little girl ran around, and a servant was worried about the girl's safety, which was a very common phenomenon, so Su You and Lai Yanbei just stopped a little and let the girl go.
But the little girl shouted in Chinese, which was not fluent, "Help me, save me." β
"What's the situation?" Su You looked at the little girl who was about to cry, but asked the servant who was chasing the little girl about his humanity.
The man ignored Su You and continued to call the little girl who was already more than two feet away from him in Korean, but Su You heard from his call that he seemed to have said the words "General Laihong".
"They may be from Goryeo or from Silla Baekje, and he seems to have said your second brother's name." Su You wasn't sure what he said about Laihong, but he still turned his head and whispered to Laiyanbei.
"Does he know my second brother?" Lai Yanbei shouted with some disbelief.
Laihong and Yang Shanhui went to Baekje alone and went to Silla alone, and it has been half a year since they left Dasui, and at this time, Laiyanbei suddenly heard the news of the second brother, how can there be no reason not to be excited?
Su You nodded, although he was not confident in his Korean level, but the words "General Laihong" just now were finally correct.
Coming to Yanbei to get Su You's confirmation, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop the man who looked like a servant who was going to chase the little girl.
The problem was that she had a saber in her hand, albeit unsheathed.
The man didn't know what he meant to come to Yanbei, but he was obviously not good at stubble, even if he drew his sword and faced each other, and the sword was fatal.
Coming to Yanbei, I didn't expect that the swordsmanship of a random person on the side of the road was so superb, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, so he only took the way of fighting to see the moves, find a gap and then counterattack.
Su You suddenly frowned, if he wanted to help his wife, he would inevitably use a killing move on that man.
The question is, the fight with him in Yanbei is obviously just a misunderstanding, and he killed his international friends by mistake, is this really good?
When he was hesitating or not getting up, Lai Yanbei had already knocked the man's long sword away with a "dang" sound, and Wang Bodang and the others saw that there was something different here, and they also rushed over; When the man saw Wang Bodang and the others running with a concerned face, he knew that they were the helpers who came to Yanbei, and at this time they were bare-handed, so they simply tied their hands and arrested them.
Lai Yanbei seized the opportunity and pressed the tip of the sword on his neck.
Su You shouted, "Don't hurt him." β
Coming to Yanbei had no intention of hurting him, and immediately collected his sword and strength.
The man glared angrily at Lai Yanbei, only said "inexplicable" and hurriedly chased the direction of the little girl's escape just now and left.
He didn't even have time to pick up his sword.
