"The outer city of the eastern capital, with a radius of more than 40 miles. The moat is said to protect the dragon river, more than ten zhang wide, inside and outside of Hao, all plant willows, powder walls and Zhu households, prohibit people from coming and going. ”

- Tokyo Dream

Drive out from the East Water Gate in the southeast corner of Tokyo, cross the lower reaches of the Bianhe River, exit the kidnapping city, drive through the willows along the street of more than 100 zhang on the bank, and go straight forward for five or six miles, which is a good place to go outside Tokyo.

Every time they go to Shangsi Qingming, or Chongyang ascends, many people in the city will come by car, talk and laugh and climb the mountain together, and climb the stairs. If there are elegant literati, there are also banquets of winding water, lush forests and bamboos, poems and essays in response, clear talks and debates, and admiration and consultation, leaving all kinds of pen and ink articles, it is also an elegant thing in the world.

Chu Feng was led out of the city gate by the coachman, and saw a hill from a distance. It is certainly not possible to say that it is towering, but fortunately, it feels green from a distance, and it is also a good place to escape the heat.

At the foot of the mountain, there were already seven or eight carriages parked there, and there were several young people standing or sitting in the shade of the trees next to them, all dressed as Zhu Luoyu, and at a glance they knew that they were the sons of your family. Chu Feng was only wearing a cloth shirt, and at this time, he got out of the car and walked towards the cluster of people, which inevitably showed a bit of a maverick.

It's not that he can't afford silk clothes, after all, he has a good salary now, but as a normal man after a thousand years, to be honest, he can't get used to wearing that kind of slippery silk. Chu Feng, who was used to wearing school uniforms, felt that the cotton clothes were comfortable to wear, breathable and sweat-absorbing, and he didn't understand what comfort silk fabrics were on his body at all......

"Brother Chu? Here and here! ”

As soon as he got out of the car and walked two steps, Chu Feng heard someone calling for him, looking for a sound. It turned out to be Xu Qing and Xu Zimo.

Looking around, Chu Feng only knew such a person. walked towards him with a smile and greeted him: "Brother Zimo." Am I late? ”

"No, the guy who did the east hasn't come yet." Xu Zimo's complexion was slightly dark, and his body was a little fat, although the sun's rays were not so hot at this time, scattered beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, and the fan in his hand kept fanning.

This Xu Zimo is also enthusiastic, although there was some unpleasantness when they first met, but when Xiao Ting came to apologize that day, this Xu Qing also followed. Although there is inevitably some embarrassment on his face, it can be regarded as a model of being able to bend and stretch.

At this time, Xu Qing stepped forward and patted Chu Feng's shoulder, through his clothes, Chu Feng could feel the slight sweat in his palm.

"That kid in Wanyan is also a bastard, let us come so early, he himself is embarrassed to take the big one, he has to be the last one. Come, Brother Chu, simply take advantage of this effort. Let me introduce you to these people......"

After that, he led Chu Feng into the crowd, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, this is Chu Feng from Hangzhou City." Mr. Lu Wenduan's senior apprentice. Brother Chu, these guys are all classmates, Fa Xiao, etc., and they are very familiar with me and Wan Yan. Plain jokes and slapsticks for many years, never formal. Today, everyone is visiting the mountains and rivers. You don't have to be too reserved when you play with us. ”

Chu Feng responded with a smile.

Xu Qing introduced them one by one. Chu Feng listened, these in front of him can be said to be some real eunuch families, either the son of a certain Zhonglang, or the grandson of a certain noble, and their backgrounds are extraordinary. The age is also between the teens and twenty-seven or eighteen, and the youngest one is fifteen years old, but after seeing Chu Feng, he did not feel half timid, but looked at Chu Feng with interest for a long time, chuckled, and whispered something to the people around him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wenduan's high apprentice, and I really admired it for a long time. Is Mr. Lu still healthy? I met my father once in my early years, and I always felt that the old gentleman was extraordinary, and he was really a dragon and phoenix among people......"

"Brother Chu can interact with us as casually as possible, everyone is from small to big, and there is no difference between big and small. If there's anything uncomfortable, just say it, see how I ask them, haha! ”

"I heard that Brother Chu and Wan Yan met each other, which is quite interesting, and I don't know if it's true or not......

All kinds of words came one after another, and Chu Feng answered them one by one, to be honest, it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

He can also feel the attitude of these people towards him, and he can't say that he is disdainful, but there must not be much respect, and it is a little worse to treat each other as a real equal.

This is also a very understandable thing, what kind of background is the other party, in the later generations, they are all the second generation of officials, the third generation of officials, and the people I have seen since I was a child at home are all hairpins and vermilions, and for ordinary people like myself, I am afraid that the contact is very limited.

If it weren't for Mr. Wenduan's relationship, I am afraid that he would not have said a word.

"Did you say a lot of bad things about me before I came over?"

The sound of the wheels of the carriage behind him creaked into my ears, and when I looked back, a noble man in a long shirt jumped out of the car and walked towards everyone with a smile. This person is naturally Xiao Ting Xiao Wanyan.

"Brother Chu, you're here, it's good, it's good. Zimo, did you rob me of my job, and I've already introduced you to it? Xiao Ting stepped forward, patted Chu Feng's shoulder with a smile, looked around at the people around him, and said with a smile, "You people must have said bad things about me, I haven't stopped sneezing along the way, so don't hurry up and get the truth!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and some people said: "Wanyan you are so unfair, is it possible that there are only a few brothers in this world who can say bad things about you?" If I say it, maybe the one who scolds you behind your back is which one of you is good at Donglou Street. After that, the man pinched his voice and flicked his sleeves in the woman's appearance, "You are a wrongdoer who kills a thousand knives, you haven't come to see the slave family for so long, and the slave family is so lovesick!" ”

He learned very similarly, which caused a burst of laughter.

Xiao Ting was not annoyed, he also laughed a lot, and said: "Old Seven, don't just talk about me, you don't understand those friends in your own house, you eat flying vinegar from afar, and the whole city of Tokyo knows about it." Why are you embarrassed to laugh at me? ”

"Haha! I don't want to. The man spread his hands and showed a helpless expression, "Ben Langjun is also 'in the midst of thousands of flowers.'" The master of the 'leaf does not stick to the body', who knows that he was born with a good skin. The girls couldn't stop seeing me. You say, "What can I do?" ”

This man is indeed handsome and handsome. There's a bit of ruffianism in the conversation.,A little bad when you laugh.,It's really the type that girls like.。

"Hey, Brother Chu, although I haven't been to Jiangnan, I've long heard that it is a prosperous place with flowers and willows, a gentle and wealthy township. Tell us about the difference between the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in Jiangnan and the Tokyo City? ”

"This ......" Chu Feng was slightly stunned and laughed, "I'm really embarrassed to say it." I've been in Tokyo for more than a month, but I haven't been there. ”

This person was stunned when he heard this, and immediately lost his smile, and said to Xiao Ting beside him: "I said Brother Xiao, this is your dereliction of duty." Since he is your guest, why didn't you take him around the brothel? But then again, what is Chu Langjun usually busy with? Do you study abroad? ”

In the Song Dynasty to the Xuanhe period, in addition to the continuation of the Taixue, which was specially for the children of nobles and high-ranking officials, foreign schools were also established. Foreign studies are also one of the official schools. It is the children of officials below the eighth grade and the outstanding students among the common people. This point is very different from Taixue.

But in any case, after all, foreign schools are also institutions established by the central government, and although the status of students is not as prominent as that of Tai students, students who come out of foreign schools are also highly valued.

These people in front of you. Because of the relationship between identities, most of them are studying in Taixue. They naturally understood the identity gap between Chu Feng and themselves, and saw that Chu Feng was also at the right age to study. I thought he was a student of a foreign school.

"I didn't read, so I was stupid. I don't understand it. Chu Feng smiled slightly and answered truthfully. I do a pilgrimage at Fan's calligraphy and painting shop, so I will occasionally be busy. ”

"What to do, what to do?"

The faces of the people on the other side became so surprised that they looked at each other, and some of them almost laughed dumbly.

"Fan's Calligraphy and Painting Shop, oh, it's the big store in the West Market, right? Yes, we still bought a few paintings and calligraphy from there, and there are indeed a lot of good things in the store. ”

The slightly older man hurriedly came out of the round and smiled gently: "Being able to do a pilgrimage at this level of calligraphy and painting, it is conceivable that Brother Chu's ability in calligraphy and painting must be extremely high, admire, admire." I'm not a good person, I have practiced calligraphy since I was a child, and I have practiced for more than ten years, but I am only what I am now. Haha, you know me, last year because of this incident, I was scolded by my father. ”

Xiao Ting borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said with a smile: "Yes, Brother Chu is very powerful, after all, he is a student of Mr. Wenduan, not only is he highly accomplished in calligraphy and painting, but he is also a good hand in engraving!" Brother Chu and I are going to take the art academy together this autumn, haha, Brother Chu, we have to work together! ”

Chu Feng smiled and bowed his head, which can be regarded as a response.

Xiao Ting nodded, and proposed with a smile: "It's not early, let's talk while walking, climb to the top of the mountain and estimate that it will take an hour, I ordered the servants to prepare a banquet on it early, let's 'flow the water and make it second' for a while, maybe all the poems are prosperous, and there is Chu Langjun's calligraphy to complement it, and it may become a famous 'Lanting Yaji' in history!" ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed and teased, and they all responded and walked to the top of the mountain in a hurry.

This mountain is a popular spot for people in Tokyo, and there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, so the bluestone steps go up the stairs, and the trees on both sides of the road shade the sun, and the birds chirp endlessly, which is refreshing. Especially when the occasional gust of wind blows, the sound of the trees is endless, which makes people feel exceptionally clear.

Everyone talked and laughed, two or three in groups, and when they encountered strange stones and strange trees, they stopped and laughed, which was also interesting.

Of course, most of the time, it was actually difficult for Chu Feng to interject. Of course, he didn't have to be the core of the group, so he just stood aside while everyone was talking and laughing, smiling and listening, occasionally echoing a few words and nodding his head.

The word "boring" can't be said, for Chu Feng, this experience is a kind of visit that can satisfy curiosity.

When he lived in the world after a thousand years, he had no chance to contact these rich second generations and official second generations, and many things about those people were hearsay, and he was always skeptical. Of course, there is curiosity, this curiosity, this voyeurism into the unknown life, is almost a part of human nature, and no one can do without it.

And now, because of the existence of Mr. Wenduan, his identity has inexplicably changed. Of course, this transformation is not complete and tangible, but has an indirect color. This kind of indirectness allows him to just be able to interact with these people from official families, but at the same time, he will be scrutinized and measured by these people, and he will be outside the real circle.

But this kind of distance is actually the most appropriate place to observe this community group.

Chu Feng would not treat the behavior of these people as a sociological topic. But curiosity is indeed curiosity, and in the midst of these exchanges, Chu Feng did find a lot of details, which made him feel interesting, strange, and even surprised and shocked.

Let's say a conversation between him and the fifteen-year-old.

"Brother Chu, can I call you that?"

"Feel free, it's okay to call me Chu Feng."

"Hey! Brother Chu, why do you want to work in the calligraphy and painting shop by yourself? Is it fun to work outside? ”

"The owner and the people in the store treat me very well, and there are a lot of paintings and calligraphy in the calligraphy and painting shop, and even a lot of paintings and calligraphy from famous artists, I can check them at any time, so it is really interesting."

"Sure enough, you're doing it for fun, aren't you?"

"Uh...... Not exactly, after all, a manly husband has to make some money on his own, and he can't always spend Mr. Wenduan's ......"

"Make money? Why make money? There will be monthly silver at home! ”

"Uh...... No one sent it to me. ”

"Why? Brother Chu, have you been expelled from the clan? ”

"Not really, it's, it's, that, uh, how do you say that...... In the early years, because of the disaster and the separation of his parents, there is no family to protect now. ”

"Oh my God! I've only seen this kind of thing in novels! And what about the land? Even if there is a disaster, there is always land, right? If you have land, you will have income. ”

"Is this...... There is no land. ”

“…… I don't really understand. ”

"Uh, that's okay."

"So, Brother Chu, if you work in the calligraphy and painting shop, how much money can you get in a month?"

"Six-seven-thousand."

The young man puffed out his cheeks and was deflated for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back and said: "Tianxianglou's overnight salary is seven yuan." ”

"Uh......" Chu Feng touched his nose, feeling a little crying and laughing. From the shocked eyes of the young man, he saw a little pity, so he finally had to nod, very helpless, "That's it." (To be continued.) )
