Chapter 14 Song Sister-in-law
Jiangnan, Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Chen Beiluo and Su Ying rode a white horse together.
The horse is a famous breed of jade-faced blue and white skull, with a distinct, brand-new full saddle bridle.
Chen Beiluo specially bought it.
Beside the saddle hung a sword as black as ink, it was his Taiyi sword, and the scabbard tapped the brass horseshoe, making a series of dingdong sounds, like music.
Chen Beiluo's green shirt is upright, and Su Ying's white clothes are like snow.
It is now April, when the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River and the warblers fly wildly, a spring breeze with the fragrance of peach blossoms blows across the earth, so gentle that it is like the breath of a lover.
The willows are still clinging, and the green water ripples in the spring breeze.
A pair of swallows had just flown out of the peach blossom forest and landed on the vermilion railing of the small bridge, whispering and not knowing what to say.
Chen Beiluo loosened the reins and let the white horse under his seat slowly pace across the small bridge.
A warm breeze blew in his face, blowing his cyan robe.
The swallows on the railing were startled by the sound of horses' hooves, and flew into the depths of the peach blossoms with a murmur.
Su Ying looked left and right, and looked at it with great joy.
This was the first time she had left Kameyama, and she was very curious about everything.
She leaned on Chen Beiluo's chest, only feeling that she was as relaxed as this swallow, so relaxed that it was almost like she was about to fly.
Thousands of miles away, there was one person who was very unhappy.
Wei Wuya was not only unhappy, he was almost mad, and his whole person was crazy with jealousy.
The reason is very simple, Su Ying said goodbye without saying goodbye, and left with Chen Beiluo, leaving only a letter to him.
He has always been very sorry for Su Ying's baby, if anyone touches her fingers, he will fight hard with the other party, and he will never die, but now he can only swallow his anger, because he really can't afford to provoke the boy.
However, he can't afford to provoke Chen Beiluo, can't he still provoke his apprentice?
Therefore, for a long time in the future, the lives of all the disciples under Wei Wuya's sect were very tormented.
But none of this has anything to do with Chen Beiluo.
If there are 10 points in the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, then at least 7 points are in Hangzhou.
If there are 10 points in the scenery of Hangzhou, then at least 7 points are in the West Lake.
Some people say that the scenery of West Lake is as beautiful as a picture, but who in the world can paint the scenery of West Lake?
If you pass by Hangzhou, if you don't go to the West Lake, you will really waste your life.
When you arrive at the West Lake, if you don't try the "Song Sister Fish" in Sanyayuan, it will be a pity.
Song sister-in-law fish is vinegar fish.
The fish should be killed alive and steamed to be the best quality, after steaming, it will be poured with condiments and sent to the table, so it is still steaming on the table, it is really melted in the mouth, fresh and tender.
Just like Chengdu's "mapo tofu", vinegar fish is called Song sister-in-law fish, because this practice was initiated by a woman surnamed Song in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, the water of the West Lake is shallow, and the mud is below three feet, and the fish cannot be raised in the lake water at all.
And fishing in West Lake is not allowed at all, fishing in West Lake, mixing up a lake of clear water, isn't it just like asking among the flowers, burning the qin and cooking cranes, it is a big thing to spoil the scenery.
Therefore, although the vinegar fish is named after West Lake, it is not produced in West Lake, but from Sixiang.
Especially in Tangqi Township, not only the plum blossoms are beautiful, but the fish are also beautiful.
There are almost every fish pond there, every household has a boat to load fish into the city, the bottom of the boat is made of bamboo strips, larger than the painting boat in the West Lake, the fish are in the bottom of the boat, as if in the river.
When the boat arrived outside the Wulin Gate and docked at the small river port, the barefoot fishmongers used wooden barrels to pick fish into the city.
The wooden barrel is also filled with river water, and in the bamboo basket on the barrel, there is also a large basket of fresh and lively green shell shrimp.
On a hazy spring morning, dozens of healthy and happy young men, carrying their day's harvest, walked forward on the bluestone pavement, the sight was even more joyful than vinegar fish.
Therefore, the restaurant near the lake will put these live fish that have just been delivered in a large bamboo cage, sink them in the lake water, and wait for the guests to come to the door.
In the restaurant of West Lake, every family has vinegar fish.
The flower port on the Dingxiang Bridge and the five willows on the old Gaozhuang Water Pavilion all use this method to sell fish.
Only the Sanya Garden outside the Yongjin Gate is an exception.
At that time, Chen Beiluo and Su Ying were in Sanyayuan.
Sanya Garden is right on the edge of the lake, facing a lake of spring water, surrounded by a three-foot-high red lacquer carved fence.
Next to the railing are a dozen or so white-wood tables that have been washed and shiny, each with bait and fishing rods.
The fish have been put into the lake and surrounded by bamboo fences, and those who want to eat the fish should catch them yourself.
The fish you catch by yourself always taste delicious.
Chen Beiluo caught two fish and scalded two horns of wine.
Facing the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, facing the beautiful woman with a vivid fragrance, there is no fish to drink, not to mention fish?
So after the two-horn wine, there came the two-horn wine.
The wine was packed in a "planing tube" made of tin, and one tube was full of sixteen taels.
The four-cornered wine is four catties, and Chen Beiluo drinks the "good wine" that is twice as expensive as the Huadiao in the distant years.
This kind of wine is originally prepared for visitors from afar, although it is twice as expensive as Huadiao, but it may not be much better than Huadiao.
Although Chen Beiluo is a large amount of thousands of cups that are not drunk, he feels a little drunk now.
He wasn't really drunk, what really intoxicated him was Su Ying, who had a rosy face after drinking, the so-called wine is not drunk, and everyone is drunk.
Bright as the sun rises in the morning glow, scorching like a hibiscus out of the green waves.
It seems that the glory of the autumn chrysanthemum, the blooming spring pine, the bright and unbelievable.
Such a look, such a style, no matter who it is, will get drunk when you see it.
Although Chen Beiluo is not an ordinary person, he is also a man, and naturally he is no exception.
And he also discovered one thing, it seems that since the last time she tasted bamboo leaf green in the outer world, Su Ying has fallen in love with drinking, and on the way from Guishan to Hangzhou, she has already drunk a lot of wine, although it is said that she does not drink too much every time.
Chen Beiluo flicked her forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Little drunkard." ”
Su Ying smiled sweetly and said coquettishly: "If women are not drunk, how can men have a chance, hehe." ”
Her nose wrinkled when she smiled, as if the spring breeze was blowing ripples in the lake.
When she doesn't laugh, she is already a very cute girl, and this laugh can make a man jump off the building.
Chen Beiluo was stunned, and immediately laughed.
Yes, whether it's a man or a woman, most of the time, they're just pretending to be drunk.
This is simply the truest truth in the world.
The sunset is full of sky, and the West Lake, which is "always suitable for heavy makeup", is more gorgeous and colorful.
Suddenly, a painting boat shook out from the depths of the willow shade, stirring up the lake full of broken gold, the emerald green top vermilion railing, and the carved window, the bamboo curtain of the Xiangfei concubine was half rolled.
A graceful and peerless beauty is sitting at the window, playing with the white parrot in the cage.
She is also dressed in white, holding a fragrant cheek in one hand, with round wrists, slender fingers, and a faint resentment and sorrow between her eyebrows.
The light snow-like green willows, the half-opened red lotus, and the hazy distant mountains are reflected in the shimmering golden water.
In the distance, I don't know who is singing:"
The village girl is barefoot,
Go into the water and cut the rushes.
A handful of grass has just been tied,
Lay down by the stream and fell asleep.
The willow shade covers her face,
Her feet are small and delicate.
Three knights beat horses,
All with a smile on their faces.
A knight jumped off his horse,
Obsessively staring at her feet.
There was a knight who was more courageous,
actually kissed her on the mouth.
The third one plays a trick,
How to memorize it in the lyrics.
Oh, poor little village girl,
Why is she snooze? ”
The soft singing voice and beautiful words are full of a frivolous meaning.
Chen Beiluo's face was thick-skinned, but he didn't feel anything.
Su Ying was a little unbearable, and her already delicate face became redder in an instant.
But seeing her fanning the wind with her slender jade hand, she muttered, "Why is it so hot this day?" ”
Chen Beiluo's eyebrows were raised slightly, and he smiled without saying a word.
Su Ying has always been down-to-earth and generous, daring to love and hate, and it is rare to have the opportunity to see her so shy and twisted.
At this moment, a barracuda speedboat suddenly broke through the water like an arrow on the lake.
On the speedboat, there were four sturdy men with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tiger's back.
The wind blew the lake, and the speedboat rose and fell, but the four big men were nailed to the bow of the boat like nails, not moving at all.
Chen Beiluo could see at a glance that they were all practitioners, and they all practiced their kung fu very well.
With such a beautiful day, why did these people come here to rampage?
Chen Beiluo felt a little strange in his heart, but he was not a nosy person.
The affairs of the rivers and lakes are already strange, if everything has to be understood and explored, then what fun is there in life.
And if you do, congratulations, from now on, there will be a steady stream of troubles to find you.
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to cause trouble.
Hearing only a "bang", the speedboat actually hit the boat straight onto the boat.
The white-clothed beauty sitting in the window, who was playing with a white parrot, was knocked and almost fell.
The four men had already jumped on the painting boat, rushed in like a fierce god, pointed at the beauty's nose and cursed, but they couldn't hear what they were scolding.
They spoke in dialects, which Chen Beiluo couldn't understand.
Even the white parrots in the cage have been frightened to squeak and jump and scream, and people have been frightened to the point that their faces are pale, and their whole bodies are shaking, looking so pitiful.
These rude men don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and one of them actually stretched out a big hand like a fan, as if he wanted to grab her hair.
Where did these wicked men come from, they are even more fierce than robbers, and in broad daylight, before everyone is in full view, they dare to bully a poor single woman like this.
Chen Beiluo wailed in his heart, Dao Ye just couldn't see the beauty being wronged.
I saw that as soon as he grew up, he had already jumped out of the railing.
Outside the railing was a lake, and when he saw that he was about to fall, his toes lightly touched the surface of the water, and the layers of transparent ripples opened up, like a lotus flower.
Chen Beiluo's clothes are fluttering, like a crane flying in the wind, with an indescribable graceful demeanor and elegant dust.
At a distance of more than ten zhang, Chen Beiluo landed lightly and skillfully on the painting boat.
One of the four big men was staying outside the cabin to watch, and when he saw someone coming, he was stunned, and then said with a calm face: "Who is it?" What are you here for? ”
Chen Beiluo didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and with a wave of his sleeves, he covered his head.
The big man only felt that the cuffs were getting bigger and bigger, his eyes were dark, and when he heard the sound of "poof", he actually fell into the lake ten zhang away.
There were people applauding on the shore, and Chen Beiluo didn't have to look at it, he knew that it was Su Ying who was cheering for him.
At this time, two more big men rushed out.
They were vigorous and faster, and suddenly, two pairs of fists as big as bowls had arrived in front of Chen Beiluo, only listening to the whirring of the fist, it was really a heavy move.
Chen Beiluo's figure swayed slightly, he had already reached behind the two of them, stretched out his hand and patted them on the shoulders, and the two of them couldn't help themselves, flew out like a cloud, fell into the lake, and went with their companions.
As soon as the remaining man stepped out of the cabin, he was stunned on the spot, and he didn't know whether it was better to shoot or not.
He never dreamed that this young man, who seemed to be so beautiful, would have such amazing martial arts.
He had never seen a young man in the rivers and lakes with such terrible martial arts.
Chen Beiluo looked at him quietly.
The big man was slightly older than the previous three, and he looked much more pleasing to the eye than his companions.
Chen Beiluo smiled slightly and said, "Your partners have already left, you still don't leave?" ”
Dahan nodded, and said with a long sigh: "Dare to ask the name of Changgao?" ”
Chen Beiluo smiled and said, "What, are you still thinking about finding trouble for Dao Ye me in the future?" ”
Dahan said coldly: "Could it be that the Taoist still wants to be able to enter and exit in the future?" ”
Chen Beiluo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Oh? ”
Dahan said: "Can't the Taoist chief see where we are coming from?" ”
Chen Beiluo smiled and said: "The robber naturally came out of the robber's den, can he still jump out of the stone?" ”
The big man glared at him fiercely and said, "Our green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever!" Suddenly jumped up, "poof", and also jumped into the water.
Chen Beiluo said: "What a man who talks about righteousness." ”
He was about to leave when he heard someone in the cabin calling, "Dao Chief, please stay." ”
The sound is like that of the yellow warbler, light, crisp, and sweet.
Chen Beiluo smiled lightly, stood up, and disappeared into the affectionate eyes of the white-clothed beauty.
Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name.
This is the demeanor that a real chivalrous man should have.
Chen Beiluo thought so.
