Chapter I
Jinhua is a very famous city in Zhejiang, with a gathering of humanities and treasures, and it is only a little bit worse than the Yangzhou city of "ten miles of spring breeze". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On this day, Ning Caichen went to Jinhua to take care of business, but happened to meet the envoy who came here to preside over the triennial imperial examination, and the rent of the house in the city was very high. He didn't need to think about it, so he decided not to rent a house in the city. With such an expensive rent, if you live for a few days, the money you have worked so hard to do business will be earned by those gang of real estate workers. After inquiring, there is a temple not far from the north of the city, so it shouldn't be a big problem to borrow it for a few days. At most, give those monks some sesame oil money.
When he came to the north of the city, there was indeed a big temple, but the situation was a little different from what he had imagined before. The plaque at the entrance of the temple has the words "Lanruo Temple" written on it, and the pagoda of the main hall is very magnificent, but the ground is covered with basil that is taller than a person. The Buddha statues everywhere and other places are covered in dust, and you can tell that no one has been here for a long time.
On the east and west sides were the monks' houses, with their doors hidden, except for the two huts on the south side, each with a new lock on the door. To the east of the main hall is a dense bamboo forest, and there is a large pond under the steps, in which wild lotus roots are clustered, and lotus flowers are mixed with large lotus leaves. Standing on the edge of the pond, sometimes you will inadvertently smell the fragrance of lotus flowers sent by the breeze.
This quiet environment made Ning Caichen like it very much, and he didn't care about the inconvenience of living here, so he decided to live here. However, the monks in the temple did not seem to have returned, so he walked by the pond and waited slowly. Anyway, the pace of life in this era is very slow, even if you wait for two or three hours, it is not a big deal.
After a while, a little novice with short hair came to open the door of a hut on the south side. Ning Caichen went up to salute and told him that he wanted to stay here.
The little novice looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, and he stood there without saying a word and smiling, which made people feel good at the sight of it. Xiao Shami listened to Ning Caichen's words and said with a smile: "This place has been dilapidated for a long time, there is no owner at all, and I am just a person who stays here." ”
"In addition to me, there is also a scholar from Shaanxi who lives here. It's very deserted on weekdays. If you're not afraid that this area won't be lively enough, you can move in with you. Zi said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. I see you're a well-read person, and the three of us can talk to each other about learning when the time comes. “
Ning Caichen was very happy, so he cut some artemisia grass and spread it on the bed, and set up a wooden board as a table. He was used to all kinds of work, and he was very good at doing it. The little novice also came to help, and the two of them quickly packed up another room next to the two houses.
"By the way, my name is Ning Caichen, I don't know what your name is, little master?"
"Well, that's it." The young man touched the short hair on the top of his head in embarrassment, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I am not a monk, just a traveler who is lost on the road of life. ”
"Women?" Ning Caichen took a step back without a trace, looking up and down at the ........... in front of him wearing white long sleeves, etc., this guy has an Adam's apple.........
The young man looked at Ning Caichen with a suspicious look angrily and funny, and said, "I'm talking about people on the journey, and I don't look like a woman like this." ”
"Haha," Ning Caichen laughed, "I'll just say that Brother Tai talks like this, how can it be a woman." Well, then may I ask your Excellency's surname? ”
The young man arched his hand, "The surname is Hai, the name is Yunfan, and there is no word yet." ”
"Well," Ning Caichen remembered something, "Brother Hai, at your age........... aren't you afraid of worrying about your parents when you go out?" ”
"Ah, my parents in every sense of the word are not ........... in this world."
"I'm sorry," Ning Caichen showed a clear look, stepped forward and patted the young man's shoulder, and said, "Then I won't inquire about the situation at your family." But a good man,.........."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside, and in the footsteps, a hearty voice said: "I hit a roe deer today, just to use it for wine." ”
Ning Caichen looked up outside the king's gate, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar with a star-eyed sword hanging a sword at his waist, holding a bow in one hand and a prey in the other, and strode over.
"Hey, it's rare to have a rare visitor today. Come on, come on, and have a few drinks with me Yan Chixia. ”
"This is Yan Chixia who lives over there." Hai Yunfan introduced on the side, then pointed at Ning Caichen, and said: "This is Brother Ning who came to Jinhua to do business, named Ning Caichen, and he is also a Zheng Zheng man, Brother Yan must be able to talk to him." ”
The three of them were all bold people, and they didn't say much to clean up the roe deer, and then a few people pushed the cups and changed the ground with the dishes.
When she was a little drunk, Yan Chixia threw aside the square scarf on her head, pulled out her sword, and danced the bright sword in the moonlight.
Ning Caichen was surprised, and the young man named Hai Yunfan dragged a wooden plank from nowhere, and sang while beating the beat:
"The world is uneven, a sword is sold,
The eagle soars in the sky, the flowers wither in the dream,
The wine in the chest is hard to pour. ”
Ning Caichen also seemed to be infected by such an atmosphere, he seemed to see the bright moon rising out of the mountains and clouds, and the celebrities and beauties were singing and dancing under the moon that also shone on the land of Kyushu.
