"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms 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 dust of the car and the horse are full of obvious things, and the wine cup flower branch hermit fate.

If the manifest is compared to a hermit, one on the plain earth and one in the heavens. If the flowers and wine are compared to the carriages and horses, why are they busy and I am idle?

Others laugh at me for being 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. ”

In winter, in a small town near Suzhou Mansion, with green walls and black tiles, and small bridges, the guests on the boat are muttering this poem from Tang Bohu's Peach Blossom Nunnery.

A-Niang, who was rocking the boat, responded softly with a gentle and beautiful Wu ballad. The boat slowly ripples in the green water, and the buildings on both sides of the bank are full of ancient charm, cyan, mottled and black, a dream paradise of the water town.

Small bridges, flowing water, people, the eternal impression of pure beauty in the south of the Yangtze River; Quiet, beautiful and poetic, not only has the scenery of smoke and rain, but also the heritage of celebrities over the generations, which is what gives Jiangnan Water Town a truly fascinating place.

The smoke is vast, and the people are outstanding.

The people on the boat, dressed in green shirts, a brocade belt, a peach blossom, a touch of the sunset, and a flat boat, blend into the tranquility of this ink painting.

"Little guest officer, are you reading Tang Jieyuan's peach blossom poem?"

"Yes!" The young guest in a green shirt nodded, and his immature face showed respect, "Mr. Tang is a genius in heaven, and he is unique in poetry and painting, but it is a pity that he has never met a talent in his life, which is regrettable!"

"Yo!"

The charming A-Niang blinked a pair of charming eyes, her narrow waist swayed rhythmically with the swinging wooden oars, and her eyes stared at the young guests in front of her with interest, and the corners of her mouth instantly curled up a hint of hook.

"It seems that the little guest officer must also be a merry and talented man? Illustrious! The slave family is fortunate to carry the talented man on the boat today, and please leave a poem or a word, so that he can leave a good story when he will be famous all over the world in the future. ”

"I'm not a talent, and I have nothing to do with romance." The green-shirted man hurriedly waved his hand, with a self-deprecating expression, "Traditional literature is half-understood, and it is not as good as the five-year-old naughty boy in the village, but a lonely ghost." ”

"Huh."

The boat lady smiled, unimpressed by the humility of the guest, and the words that seemed to be suitable were actually just polite and funny words, after all, the age of the guest looked fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and similar talented students can be described as a carp crossing the river in the local area.

The boat lady smiled and stopped talking, and resumed her concentration on rocking the boat, but the man in green shirt was interested for a while, and asked: "Sister-in-law said that Mr. Tang, who came to life, is a romantic talent, poetry is also romantic, and painting is also romantic, presumably people are more romantic, and there should be many old anecdotes, right?"

The boat lady was stunned at first, and then laughed for a while, the face that was slightly rough and black by the wind and rain of the years, did not reduce the handsomeness of her youth, and two ambiguous blush rose on her face, and she asked with a smile, "Isn't the guest officer really young and don't know?" This is not the other. Hehe, who in Jiangnan doesn't know the name of Tang Yin's 'Merry Genius'?"

The green-shirted guest was stunned by the question all of a sudden, and said in his heart, could it be that the word 'merry' is the same as that understood by later generations? Obviously, the ancients praised a certain celebrity and gentleman, which is completely the meaning of praise and praise, but is the Tang Bohu I know different from the one in history? Is it the winner of the life who has seven beauties in the folk history and orders Qiu Xiang?

"Impossible." The green-shirted guest immediately vetoed his idea, and no one in Jiangnan knew Tang Bohu's life.

Just when he had questions, without waiting for a question, the boat lady had already smiled understandingly: "The guest is young and doesn't know, and now it's time to start a family, even if the slave family says it, there is probably no hindrance, but I'm embarrassed."

"Please say it, it's okay, it's okay."

The green-shirted man hurriedly spoke, but he sighed secretly in his heart, who let himself get the greatest benefit of the traverser and wear it on the young man's body. There are pros and cons to everything, and when you gain youth, you have to be treated like a child again.

Fortunately, in ancient times, thirteen or fourteen years old was already a little adult, not to mention marrying a wife and having children, and sneaking up to the Qinglou would not be kicked out by the ruthless **.

"Hee-hee." The boat lady smiled, and the flush that had just dissipated ignited again, which seemed to have a special charm.

It turns out that the perennial boat career, chatting with single guests is undoubtedly a pleasure, talking about the wonderful things will inevitably flirt and scold, plus forced by life, find a place where no one is **, it is inevitable to make extra money.

The little guest officer in front of him is naturally a little fresh meat in the eyes of the boat lady, looking at him in a new light cyan scribe shirt, the complexion on his face is fair, his appearance is quite handsome, his figure is thin and straight, he is modest in speech, and his demeanor is polite.

Which sister doesn't love pretty?

Even if he didn't bring a few dollars with him when he went out, the boat lady didn't mind having a dewy marriage where the old peony ate the tender grass.

The green-shirted man didn't notice the watery color in the other party's eyes, and he didn't expect that women in this era would be so open.

It is the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the society of the Ming Dynasty has reached the peak of the sound of dogs and horses, and the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is all over the major towns.

Jiangnan drunken sheng song in the world, these boat ladies carry countless guests who go to the painting boat to have fun every day, and some people occasionally go to the sea to work part-time.

However, the green shirt guest didn't know anything about it, and lived in the countryside with strict clan rules every day after crossing, and it was difficult to go out, even if he went out, it was a bunch of relatives and friends, and today was the first time he came to the town alone.

At this time, the boat lady deliberately straightened her chest and said with a smile: "Since the son inquired, the slave family naturally knows everything, and all he feels is to pity him on the boat for a while, which is a godsend."

These words are very explicit, and the old people will laugh, or gladly accept the order, or politely decline, but unfortunately today the boat lady met a fledgling Bai Ding.

The 'incomprehensible' green-shirted guest nodded with a smile: "Of course, this early winter boat ride is like walking into a picture, without too many tourists and disturbing commercial atmosphere, a completely quiet place, really like paradise."

"What the scholar says is extraordinary, but in the eyes of the Enu family, where is it worthy of heaven's praise? It's just a small deserted place, and only Suzhou City is worthy of the word heaven. Nowadays, not everyone boasts that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. ”

"Each has its own good, and I appreciate the ease of this place more than the prosperity of the big city."

In the eyes of the green shirts, the winter sun is imprinted on the mottled shore of the monuments, the light smoke drifts on the lake in the distance, and the town in the early morning is full of a poignant blur.

The willows are beautiful, the sparkling canals, the pennies in the hands of the boat girls draw ripples that belong to the water town, and the alleys wind between the pink walls and tiles.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou and Hangzhou were not only famous for their scenery and the world, but also referred to their comprehensive strength, which was respected by the world in all aspects such as humanities and customs, just like Paris and New York in the future.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, population and wealth began to be concentrated in the Jiangnan area. After the imperial court moved the capital from Jinling to Beiping, Suzhou and Hangzhou gradually surpassed Jinling, which is not only a prosperous economic center, but also an open and active cultural center, and even a national talent center.

In stark contrast, the population has not fully recovered after the "Wuhu" rebellion, the rule of the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, coupled with the war and Jingyan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and its folk customs are inevitably "Hu Feng", and the post-war reconstruction and development are far inferior to the south.

At the beginning, the great Confucian Fang Xiaoru in the south said: "The people of the north today have fathers, sons, brothers and daughters sleeping in the same room, filthy and blasphemous, and no one cares about them." Meng set up seven, and called Qiweng, sitting on the ground and eating. "Criticize this.

The difference between the North and the South is proportional to the degree of economic development, with the South being densely populated, connected by towns, well fed and well-dressed. However, there are only occasional prosperous places in Jiangbei, especially north of Shanhaiguan and south of the Badu River, and there is not a single village community in sight for hundreds of miles.

The most critical nature is culture, the Jiangnan imperial examination talents are too prosperous, and often the scholars are concentrated in a government or a county, Suzhou Mansion is one of them, the northern scholars who sigh that they are inferior to the south of the style of literature strongly advocate and imitate, and now the style of Jiangnan Shiwen has become a model for calling the world.

Nowadays, there is a saying, "Suzhou like, Guangzhou craftsman", all the things that Suzhou people think are elegant, once they come out, they will soon be imitated by people all over the world; On the contrary, what Suzhou people think is vulgar, people from all over the world despise it.

There are two new terms popular in the society, all new clothing styles, hairstyles, jewelry, etc. in Suzhou are called "Su style"; The novelties that appear in Suzhou, such as drinking tea and preferences, are also collectively referred to as "Suyi", and people from all over the world are almost obsessed with Suyi.

Therefore, the Jiangnan people of this era are undoubtedly the proudest, especially in Suzhou, almost everyone knows a few words, can read a few poems, and the status of the reader is also extremely noble.

This is the most prosperous era, but also the most extravagant and depraved era, Suzhou people like to travel, even women mostly like to go out.

During the festive season, the literati of Suzhou often traveled on a painting boat and took prostitutes to climb the mountain. At the same time, due to the development of the economy, the folk customs have obviously become more cunning than in the past, and everyone is not ashamed to compete for profit, but in Guangdong, a neighbor with the same prosperity of commerce, the folk customs still seem simple.

For example, when a Cantonese person sells the goods to outsiders, even after five or six days, the buyer comes back to exchange the goods, which is okay, that is, the exchange. In Suzhou and Hangzhou, as soon as the goods were sold, the seller turned around and did not admit it.

It seems that he was infected by the mood of the guest, and the boat lady who was imagining followed his gaze, and also seemed to see the two sides of the water alley, with a little yellow leaves, green leaves, in the winter sun, everything seemed so poetic.
