Chapter 0009: Xanadu

There is only one beautiful woman in the cabin, and every move becomes the focus of everyone.

Shen Hua, Ye Kehe and Sun Ji also noticed Jin Feng's strange appearance at the same time, seeing her expectant expression, they were all eager to try, who among young men does not want to show their knowledge in front of the beautiful opposite sex?

It's a pity that all three of them have been studying the books of the sages since childhood, and they don't hear anything outside the window, although they have also traveled for a short time, but young people can easily ignore the most common people or things around them.

Therefore, a few scholars who are full of knowledge can't accept Shen Kan's words, especially the most common and common Artemisia annua in the local area, which is inevitably embarrassing.

Others are just fine, but Shen Shi suddenly found that since the appearance of the fifth brother, every time he opened his mouth, he seemed to be able to immediately arouse everyone's interest, and his words and deeds were quite insightful, and his tone was not hurried when he spoke, as if he was not a young man, but a master of miscellaneous studies.

A burst of uncomfortable thoughts came through his heart, Shen Shi was very surprised, this was the first time in his life that he was jealous of his brother, but it did not happen to the talented third brother Shen Wei, but the most ignored Shen Kan.

Hurriedly suppressed this uncomfortable feeling, Shen Shixin said that in the future, he should pay attention to miscellaneous matters, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and trivial matters are indeed inferior to the fifth brother.

And Shen Kan just wanted to stop his mouth, and found that he was suspected of deliberately showing off, but when he saw the look of expectation in the woman's eyes, his heart softened, and then said: "In summer, if you have prickly heat, take honeysuckle dew internally, and apply loose flowers externally; There were lice on the head, and the "hundred" was mixed with soju to wrap the head; Poor children have no money to buy candy to eat, pick a few licorice stalks to quench their hunger, these herbs are the same as the penny, it is the most common thing in southern Jiangsu, often the most ordinary thing is also the most precious thing.

Artemisia annua tea is cheap and good, which can not only cool and relieve heat, but also detoxify. In summer, the local people like to wash rice with Artemisia annua tea, after the rice is brewed with this tea, the rice is extraordinarily fragrant, if it can be accompanied by salted radish rice, then this meal is really delicious and delicious. It's just that the local radish is not cheap, and can only be tasted occasionally, and most of the dinner in poor families is a piece of oily stinky dried tofu per person. The rice washed with wild fragrant artemisia tea and the smelly dried tofu have a unique taste, which can be described as wonderful! Think about how many people in southern Jiangsu who live in other places, often haunted by the taste of this hometown. ”

In fact, Shen Kan can know Artemisia annua, all because of the Nobel Prize-winning Artemisia annua-su, who would have thought that the most inconspicuous thatch that grows on the damp river bank, and the "cool and detoxifying" Artemisia annua tea that has been passed down from generation to generation by poor families is such a good thing!

With Shen Kan's eloquent narration, the entire cabin was silent for a while, even if several Xiucai did not live a life of fine clothes and food since childhood, but they were not the poor people who could look up to them, Artemisia tea may have been drunk, stinky tofu is definitely one of the foods that are forbidden to be served on the table in the scholarly door.

"I'm ashamed!" After a long while, Ye Kecheng let out a long sigh.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Sun Wenqi also sighed.

"The little boy said it so well, it evokes the childhood memories of the slave family." Jin Feng Yingying got up and solemnly said a thousand blessings, "Although the days were cold and unbearable at that time, now I am often haunted by dreams. ”

"Because that's the smell of motherhood." Shen Kan's expression showed a hint of melancholy, why didn't he miss it?

"Mother's taste!"

The muttering Jin Feng was very moved, and quickly turned his back to raise his hand, and after a while, he turned around, personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of green tea for Shen Kan, and said happily: "Although the slave family is not worthy, I still have the courage to wish the son three yuan in the future." I hope that Gongzi will not forget the people of Limin. ”

"Thank you." Shen Kan took it with both hands for no reason.

Everyone looked at this scene with a smile, Shen Hua thought that the fifth brother's parents were not around, and he probably didn't know the rules, so he hurriedly reminded: "Miss Feng respects you with the champion tea, you must drink three sips in a row."

"Champion tea?" Shen Kan smiled bitterly and lifted it up, fortunately, he knew that the so-called champion tea was just a blessing, how many people could really win the champion? Therefore, he did not shirk it, and drank three sips in a row generously.

was tossed by Shen Kan like this, and several Xiucai had the feeling that Tiger Hill Tianchi was not as good as Artemisia annua, and the most precious tea was not as good as the people, and if they talked about it, they didn't know the suffering of the people.

Talking softly with each other, the painting boat was leisurely, and there seemed to be only one Shen Kan in the eyes of Jin Feng next, who was busy for him personally, serving tea, handing snacks, and personally filling a plate of melon seeds.

No matter how open-minded they are, it can't help but make Ye Kecheng and others feel uncomfortable, especially Shen Shi, who proposed to come here, said in his heart that he was actually taken the lead by the fifth child, which is strange! This kid can now compose poems and is proficient in folk affairs, if he rises up to study in the future, will he really be able to make achievements in the future?

Unconsciously, Shen Kan, who was inconspicuous in the past, has a faint feeling of becoming a fierce enemy.

"Childe."

Jin Feng, who had washed his hands, staggered back, looked at the shore with Shen Kan's gaze, and said softly: "Why can't Childe see enough, like a foreigner." Nowadays, it is rumored that there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, please ask the son, is Suzhou really that good?"

The others pricked up their ears one after another, out of unconvinced psychology, they all wanted to see what Shen Kan said this time.

Shen Kan, who was staring at the distance, said casually: "Everyone says so, of course it's good."

Jin Feng was dissatisfied with his perfunctory, and said coquettishly: "Then you can tell me carefully, the poor slave family has never been far away in his life."

Shen Kan smiled and said: "The natural scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou is beautiful, the economy is prosperous, the people are rich, and the people are a paradise on earth. This is a bit general and abstract, in fact, only when you set foot on Suzhou, a rainy and rainy south of the Yangtze River, the quaint and agile world, your feelings will be full, and you will give birth to a feeling that you have come in a previous life or dreamed of in this life. Here, you will unconsciously use your eyes and feelings to wear all the impressions into a string of dazzling pearl chains, and so on after you say goodbye to Jiangnan in the future, savor and count every place in Jiangnan, so that you linger or linger, and then you will find that Jiangnan is good, the real reason is that the spring water is blue in the sky, the natural artistic conception of painting the boat to listen to the rain and sleep, and the humanistic atmosphere that makes people love it is thick and exquisite, elegant and freehand, as the so-called everyone says that Jiangnan is good, Tourists only wish that Jiangnan is old!"

After a long sound, Jin Feng exhaled a long breath and sighed: "What Childe said is so beautiful, so beautiful."

Ye Kecheng and his younger brother Ye Kehe glanced at each other in surprise, although Shen Kan's words were not concise, but the words were rarely smart.

"Is there such a description in the world?" Sun Jian was also surprised, and the secret path still underestimated the Wujiang Shen clan in the end.

Shen Shi and Shen Hua looked at each other, asking themselves if it was impossible for them to say so beautifully casually.

Time passed, and the painting boat came out of Songling Town, Wujiang County. On the shore, Jin Feng reluctantly said to Shen Kan: "Sons are cherished, sons are cherished."

"You are also precious." Shen Kan said.

Shoumo and other scholars who arrived in advance had already hired a few ox carts, Shen Kan said goodbye to Sun Wengen first, and then walked to Ye Kecheng's side.

"Take the time to come to me, I have something to say to you." After speaking, Ye Kecheng raised his feet and got into the car.

"The afterlife is terrifying, haha!" Ye Kehe blinked and followed.

After sending away the ox cart of the Ye family and the Sun family, Shen Kan turned around and got into the car hired by his family, and saw that the eldest brother Shen Shi was squinting and contemplative, and the second brother Shen Hua did not speak.

In this silent atmosphere, the ox cart bumped all the way into Taoyuan Village, a place called Shenjia Village to outsiders.

In the early years, the Shen family lived in the nearby Liuxu Village, and after returning from the dismissal of Shen Han, he personally selected this place on the shore of Fenhu Lake and built a very large mansion, preparing for the Shen family to spread out in the future, and the children and grandchildren did not need to move out.

Most of the people in the village moved from Zhouzhuang, which is quite weird, and Zhouzhuang is the place where the legendary man and the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Wansan, was founded.

After many years, Shen Wansan's descendants are either dead or scattered, and there is no trace of them, and Shen Wansan's father came from Huzhou back then, and he has different branches from the local Shen family, which is equivalent to two surnames.

When Shen Wansanfu was invincible, the Shen clan in his hometown was just a group of croppers, and soon after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Shen family was defeated, and the Shen clan was still a group of croppers.

By the time the Shen Kan family returned to their hometown, the Shen Wansan family had long since ceased to exist. In the case of Lan Yu that year, some officials framed the Shen family for conspiring with Lan Yu, and in February of the 31st year of Hongwu, the Shen family and the Gu family, in-laws, sat in the Hu Lan Party disaster, and nearly 80 people were all beheaded.

The Shen family also died with the destruction of the family, and it is said that the Ju family was relocated to Guizhou. At that time, there were many people in Zhouzhuang who were connected to Zhulian, but fortunately, a person surnamed Xu went to the capital to sue the emperor, which saved Zhouzhuang's old and young.

The prosperous Zhouzhuang declined with the decline of the Shen family, and the people of Zhouzhuang, who had benefited from the Shen Wansan family for decades, learned that the Wujiang Shen family settled in Taoyuan Village, which was very intriguing, and they moved over one after another.

Most of the villagers are superstitious that the surname Shen can bring wealth, and the Wujiang Shen family is a scholarly family for generations, and it can suppress the bad luck of the Shen Wansan family.

The evidence is the two-and-a-half high flagpole in front of the gate of the Shen family, the fluttering hunting red flag, which can be seen from afar at the entrance of the village, which is a glory that only people who have to lift more than one person are qualified to erect.

Now that the Shen family is full of books, the pomp is unprecedented, and the villagers firmly believe that they don't know how many will be erected in the future.

In fact, over the years, the life of the people in the village has indeed gradually improved, of course, provided that at least half of the title deeds of each family are handed over to the Shen family, in order to avoid heavy taxes.

The villagers rely on the protection of the Shen family, and they are not worried that the Shen family, who pays attention to reputation, is rich or unkind, and the Shen family can get one or two percent of the tenant rent every year, which can be described as a win-win situation, that is, it is a deficit in the taxes of the imperial court.

This is the way of the gentry class to get rich since ancient times, and it cannot be said that it is right or wrong.

Looking at the whole country, the trend of princes and nobles enclosing land is becoming more and more intense, and a large number of peasants have been displaced or reduced to powerful serfs.
