In Hangzhou, the left river and the right lake, the most indispensable thing is the lake boat painting boat, flat boat and black canopy.

People travel on weekdays, taking the most boats, followed by walking, followed by horse-drawn carriages. The so-called Jiangnan has many waters, although Hangzhou is not as vast as Taihu Lake and other smoke waves, islands like stars, but it can't get rid of the taste of this Jiangnan water town.

And the water in Hangzhou is the best in the West Lake.

West Lake cruises, no less than hundreds. The big one can accommodate one or two hundred people, and the small one is just a flat boat.

Jiangnan is rich, even if it is a simple cruise ship, it is not in a hurry, but each carved beams and paintings, and so on, magnificently luxurious, rich and compelling, all kinds of delicate and delicate places, can not be seen from afar, can only be carefully tasted and played.

Speaking of the many categories of boat boats on the West Lake, it is really to be described with the words "innumerable". If nothing else, in addition to the most basic paddle boat, there is also a kind of dock, similar to the man-powered boat in the park in later generations, everything is pedaled by foot, and the wheels are pedaled. If you drive this boat with one or two confidants, wander on the water of the West Lake, and watch the smoke and waves linger for half a day, it is also a great blessing in life.

These boats on the West Lake are both public and private, and the famous ones are not rare.

For example, a boat that has been docked on the shore of the West Lake and is almost in disrepair, called "Oolong", is the most famous dock in the entire West Lake.

Oolong is not famous because of its ornificence or massiveness. This oolong is made by Zhao Jiezhai, a wealthy local businessman, who costs gold and silver, and the craftsmen do not know how much, and they are in the water for a day, but they are in turmoil, and they are restless. If it is just once, I heard that the oolong has been launched four times, and every time it is launched, without exception, the lake surface has changed from light clouds and light winds to magnificent waves. As a result, not only the people on the oolong boat were restless, but even the other boats on the West Lake also suffered. After that, no one dared to take such a ship anymore, so they let it stay there.

In addition to playing with boats in the lake, there are also many small boats for sale. Soups, fruits, wine, fruits and vegetables, refreshments, dried fruits, etc., can all be found. In addition to these, there is also a type of boat called "small foot boat", which is specially designed to carry some entertainers. Singing, playing, absurd, fluttering, throwing pots and playing games, or some mediocre girls are among them. These showmanship boats often come to their own devices, pestering other boats and not letting go easily, if they don't spend money for fun, they will be teased and laughed at...... This is similar to the forced buying and selling of later generations. It's just that the locals have a clever way to avoid them when they play, and the battle of wits and courage is quite interesting.

Of course, above the West Lake, in addition to cruise ships, there are also painting boats.

Originally, the term "painted boat" was a pavilion built at the water's edge that resembled a ship. In other words, the boat is actually an extension of the land, not a real ship.

But I don't know when the painting boat has gradually become synonymous with pleasure boats. And the cruise ship of the West Lake, often three or four floors, almost a hundred zhang, colorful flags and lanterns, swaying with the wind, its luxury and bright, a few hundred meters away can be seen, can not be easily ignored.

These boats are often huge, and even if they do move, they only move slowly along the shore and look at the shore along the lake, which is also leisurely and elegant.

In this kind of painting boat, literati and artists come and go, so they gave this painting boat a nickname, called "not tied to the boat", which is quite elegant.

And in this untied boat, there are naturally all kinds of women, singing and dancing pleasantly, pushing cups and laughing, which is the first-class wind and flow in the world.

As the so-called "fireworks alley, according to the Danqing barrier", in such places, looking for one or two people who can be searched, so "red leaning on the cui", enjoying a few times of "life" of "wind, flow", such fame and fortune, floating and vulgar things, probably can really be discarded as if they were shoeed.

Now it is in this place, on a painting boat called "Drinking the Moon", the piano manipulates the piano and tunes the strings, thinking about the tune of "Fortune Operator", and thinking about what kind of changes should be used for the song at hand.

Qin Cao is twenty-eight years old, which is the best years of her daughter's family, not to mention, she is a beautiful flower with a thrilling face.

"Qin Exercise" was originally a book of piano music by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a woman on a painting boat by the West Lake, and being able to use such a name has already shown her breadth of knowledge. In fact, Qin Cao is a scholarly official family from a family, and his father was convicted before he lived here, under the pseudonym Qin Cao, to be a Qing Qi who only sells his art and does not sell his body, because the qin music is extraordinary, the face is beautiful, and he is a first-class person in the wind and moon of Hangzhou City.

With her identity, she can be regarded as able to settle down in the painting boat. At least the people who come and go are celebrities, and their status is different from that of ordinary women, so they will naturally not be forced, but they have become a branch that is not stained by the mud. It is precisely this kind of bearing in her body that has made her reputation more prosperous.

Many scholars are proud of their association with Qin Cao, and they have heard that Qin Cao not only plays the piano very well, but also has extraordinary poetry and writing, which is not inferior to that of men. It's a pity that fate is not up to others, and it is really pitiful to fall here.

Tomorrow night is the day when the scholars in the first place in the current Kexiang test will drink and feast on the West Lake, and the local adults will go to the music at that time, and the piano exercise will also be performed tomorrow, so today's mother specially arranged for her to rest, and she didn't dare to tire her.

The room is the quietest in the painting boat, but from afar, there is still a lively laughter in the ears. Fortunately, I'm used to it, and I don't care much about it.

What she cares about most is the song "Fortune Operator" in her hand, which she originally asked for from Li Liangchen's sister, but she just felt that this song was catchy, and there was not too much deliberate carving and polishing, which was very comfortable. In addition, Hanmei's number is quite a bit of a backbone, Qin Cao didn't think much about it, and asked for it.

Li Liangchen is also a chic person, and he doesn't have any intention of delaying, so he gave it right away.

Qin was worried about the joy, but he was not so happy, after all, it was just a painting with no payment, not a famous work, if it was calculated according to the price, it was not worth too much.

It's just that on the night I got it back, when Qin Cao was half asleep and half awake, I couldn't help but recall those words and phrases in my head. There is a match without a match, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become, the more I think about it, the more excited I become, until now I raise my hand to play the strings and tune this tune, and there is a taste that I can't extricate myself.

"My good sister! You've been watching this for days! Let's take a break! ”

The little girl with a double bun came in with tea, and when she saw that Qin Cao still maintained the same posture as when she went out, her little mouth pouted.

"Sister Qin, don't look at it! If you look at it again, I'll tell my mother and let her reprimand you!" ”

――

Qin Cao was actually a person from Su Shi's era, I really appreciated it, I felt pity, so I let her be born decades later in the text
