Chapter 0040: Spring is Bright

The weather is new every year, and the flowers are vying for another spring.

The children have grown up, and look at the white-headed people again.

Tiger Hill Mountain is the most representative place in Suzhou, known as the "first scenic spot in Wuzhong", located in the northwest suburbs of Suzhou City, the remaining vein of the West Mountain. Due to the movement of the earth's crust, it gradually broke away from the main body of the West Mountain and formed an independent hill.

Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu sent his father to bury here, and there was a white tiger entrenched on it three days after the burial, so it was called Tiger Hill. There is also a saying that the shape of the hill resembles a squatting tiger, hence the name.

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once said: "It is a pity not to visit Tiger Hill in Suzhou."

Tiger Hill Mountain is not big, covers an area of about 300 acres, the height of the mountain peak is only more than 30 meters, but it has the style of the surface of the hills and ravines on the left side of the river, the rocks are towering, the weather is thousands, and there are three unique nine suitable eighteen scenery of victory.

The most famous are the Yunyan Temple Pagoda and the Sword Pond. The towering Yunyan Temple Tower has a history of more than 1,000 years, and it has been proved in later generations that it is the second leaning tower in the world, which is simple and majestic.

The sword pond is strange and mysterious, buried with the ancient mystery of the tomb of King Wu and the beautiful legend of the god goose changing the word, the wind and the clouds and springs, which make people linger.

There is also the Tiger Hill tea, which is now known as the immortal product, which makes Tiger Hill more cultural in the Ming Dynasty.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Situ Wang Xun and his younger brother Sikong **** each built villas on the mountain, and later both changed to Huqiu Mountain Temple, called East Temple and West Temple. Later, a senior monk came here from the north to preach the scriptures and preach the Dharma, leaving a good story of the birth of the father's sayings and the stubborn stone nodding.

Nowadays, there are many well-known historical sites such as the Shenggong podium, the thousand-person sitting, the nodding stone, and the white lotus pond in Huqiu Mountain.

Shen Kan had never been to the famous Tiger Hill Mountain, and he was very excited when he learned the destination, and when he saw Jin Sheng asking him if he had a number, he smiled and said, "Not yet, it's better to bother my brother to give me one."

The number can be taken casually, or it can be changed or added at any time, not to express the character of the reader, or to entrust his ambition through aliases, allusions to mountains and rivers, etc., so no matter how it changes, it has nothing to do with the name and words.

For example, Tang Bohu, No. 6 is such as a layman, the master of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and the escape from Zen immortals.

Jin Sheng said with a smile: "Daoli Hongtai, Daozhang Hantai, your Jin doesn't dare to talk about it."

"Then the little brother will figure one up for himself." Shen Kan smiled.

At this time, the painting boat had unknowingly arrived at the shore of Tiger Hill, and the boatman came in and invited them to go ashore.

The six young people walked out of the cabin, followed the flow of people, and walked all the way to the mountain gate.

Southerners like to go on a spring trip, especially during the Chinese New Year. For men in ancient times, the biggest attraction of going up the mountain to visit the temple fair was not to appreciate the scenic spots, but to watch the endless stream of women who traveled to spring.

Most of the women who come to Huqiu Mountain are for burning incense, and the history of burning incense has a long history, burning incense is a general statement, which can be subdivided into incense, incense, worship, etc., the name of the expression is slightly different, and its meaning is basically the same, that is, the activity of worshipping the gods and praying for blessings.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty law of the early Ming Dynasty strictly forbade women to go to the temple and Taoist temple to burn incense, and the offender was whipped forty, and the sin sat on the husband, if there was no male husband, the sin sat on the wife, and if the monk did not stop it, it was the same crime.

Because the temple is mixed, it is often a frequent place for red apricots to go out of the wall or to imprison, abduct, and murder women. Secondly, it can be used to promote cults, what is the White Lotus Sect and Maitreya Sect, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, they are extremely vigilant, and repeatedly decree that women are not allowed to burn incense.

But in the end, the law was like a dead letter, and no one obeyed it at all.

There are so many women who burn incense that it is impossible to prohibit it.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the women in the city did Buddhist things at home, made incense day and night, and only went to the temple on special days; Women in the countryside like to gather twenty or thirty people to form an incense club, which is probably safer to form a team, and it is not easy to provoke gossip, and the husband can feel at ease, and often organize a team to go up the mountain to burn incense together.

There are also some women who are very religious, and they do not hesitate to trek thousands of miles to the famous mountains to burn incense and pray for blessings under the harsh conditions of ancient times.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, social activities became more convenient and developed, and there were fewer and fewer restrictions on the people.

Zhang He, Wangui and others are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they have seen so many kinds of women, beautiful and ugly, tall, short, fat, thin, young, old, and small, and they are all dizzying.

Only Shen Kan doesn't take it seriously at all, and it's not strange to be surprised when he is young.

He glanced at Shen Wei's excitement, and he understood why he wanted to come to Tiger Hill.

After all, it's a young man who hasn't married.

Tired of walking and watching, the big guy came to a clean tea shop to sit and eat tea, and his eyes still lingered on the woman going up and down the mountain.

Suddenly, two women walked in, a white woman in her thirties, leading a little girl of twelve or thirteen.

The woman came and said a blessing, "Ladies and gentlemen, let the little woman sing a song."

Wan Gui said: "You are singing? Well, pick a more elegant song.

After singing the song, Shen Wei asked: "I don't listen to the accent of a local, it seems to be a Jiangyou person."

The woman said: "The slave family is from Jiangxi, and they are displaced here because of the disaster in their family. Fortunately, I heard that the imperial court was exempted from paying taxes, and I was about to return to my hometown. ”

"Okay." Shen Wei saw that her expression was neither humble nor humble when she spoke, and he appreciated it very much, "You can sing another good song, and I will reward you with three coins of silver." ”

When the song was finished, the woman took the money, said "Thank you for the reward," and then led her daughter to sing elsewhere.

As soon as the people left, Wan Gui, who was still crepe just now, grinned and said, "This woman is also coquettish, but her singing is so-so."

Zhang He smiled: "You couldn't stop staring at her with one eye just now, it turns out that you have a heart to be with him, why don't you be a brother and ask her to come back, please have a good time?"

"Brother Feixian is making fun of his little brother again, I'm just joking, how can I have such a heart?" Wan Gui snorted, "It's that you haven't married a beautiful woman, maybe you are interested, you will be able to say congratulations in about these two years, can't you wait?"

"No kidding, make my brother think we're drunken too." Shen Wei stood up, went over to pay for the tea, and walked straight up the mountain.

Shen family.

Shen Shi has been staying at home honestly for the past few days, not daring to go back to the town. I was tired of reading all day, and I saw that the spring was bright outside, so I couldn't sit still, so I came out to relax.

Recently, he has been drinking and feasting every day, singing every night, and he is a little hungry when he is bored, but his younger brothers are not there, and several friends in the village are not at home.

Walking around the village, he was very bored, and accidentally walked to the door of a house, and he quickly lowered his head to walk over.

It turned out that the family's surname was Ye, and the head of the family was his fiancΓ©e's uncle, and the son of this family often regarded himself as a brother-in-law, and was very ostentatious outside, so Shen Shi was very annoyed by this person.

Coincidentally, today's brother-in-law Ye Guyu prepared a table of banquets, planning to invite the gentleman from the township college to have a drink, and begged people to put a name on the examination case.

I don't want Mr. to just collect cash, and he will not come when he replies. Ye Guyu was annoyed that he had spent the money in vain, and suddenly saw Shen Shi walking over alone, he thought about it, why not take the opportunity to treat him to a meal?

Running out, he stepped forward to stop Shen Shi and said with a hippie smile: "Good brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Don't go through the door and don't come in to see the little brother. ”

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Shen Shi is not good at being cold, so he said kindly: "I am tired of studying, and I see that the weather is good, so I go out for a walk casually, and I want to find a few good friends to eat and drink, but it is not a coincidence, and no one is there, so I have to go home."

"Coincidentally." Ye Guyu laughed, "Good brother-in-law, since you want to find a friend to eat and drink, is the younger brother just a prisoner, not a showman, not a friend?" Is there no wine to eat at the younger brother's house? It's too unusual, the relatives can't get through the door, and you should be fined a pot first. ”

While talking, he couldn't help but pull people back.

Shen Shi's temperament is also quite bold, and when he saw his hospitality, he happily followed the footsteps.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Ye family, the subordinates of his friend Qian Mengyuan's family in the same village ran over and shouted from afar: "Shen Xianggong, my son-in-law is back, and when I heard that you went to look for him, I was very anxious, and I came to look for him." Shen Xianggong and the little one, go over quickly, my son-in-law wants to ask you to write. ”

However, Shen Shi had already entered the door of the Ye family, and was squeezed by Ye Guyu for a few words, how could he leave now?

Stopping, Shen Shi said in embarrassment: "How is this good?"

"If you come, you will be safe." Ye Guyu naturally didn't want to let people go, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, "Brother-in-law, he will get literature there, can't I make poetry here?"

Shen Shi said helplessly: "I appreciate your hospitality, but Qian Mengyuan is happy today, and it is not easy to send someone to invite him." Alas, what should be done about this?"

"I have a way." Ye Guyu patted his chest, "He's in high spirits, why don't you invite him over too, everyone has a drink, brother-in-law, you let the little brother be the host once." ”

Of course, if someone treats you, Shen Shi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Cheng!" Turning his head to the Qian family, he said: "You go back to him quickly, I was kept by the Ye family brothers, since he is interested in looking for me to compose poems, then come here to meet."

"Yes." The Qian family turned around and left.

"Wait." Shen Shi stopped him again, "When he comes, you might as well invite Liu Gongzi and the others to come together, and it will be better for everyone to come together." ”
