Chapter 4 Chanting and Singing and Half Square Garden Staggered Idle Cloud Feast

The car travels to the north of the city, greets with the crowd of people, and only a crowd of people appears in front of you, just like a modern version of the Qingming Riverside map. "Jiyun is known as eight beautiful scenery, and Changhong shines on Zhuqiao." This is the first part of the local county chronicle, and I read it when Guchi had nothing to do, and I have always remembered it. Although Jiyun County belongs to the north geographically, there is no shortage of water, a clear and clean small river comes out from the West Mountain, winds to the east, passes through the city, the water is dotted with green wattles, the green water hibiscus, the fragrance is overflowing, like a jade belt, set off the city with unique beauty. The bridge in front of you spans the river, the air is like a flying rainbow, and it is covered in red paint, which is called the Zhu Bridge. Niangniang Temple is located on the other side of the river, and you can see the glazed green tiles from the car. Vendors start the market from the bridge and are spread on both sides of the road, with staggered sheds stretching for miles.

A team of dancers is coming from afar, the drums are shaking the sky, the lion head is round, the eyes are smart, and the form is realistic, which is both majestic and majestic, and simple and cute, attracting a group of children to play with each other. A theater is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the melody of local opera comes from the speakers. There are many stalls on both sides of the main road, densely populated, and merchants gather, selling clothes, flowers, fruits, divination, raking, archery, and darts throwing...... The rivers and lakes are all-encompassing, and the pedestrians in the market are shoulder to shoulder, which is dizzying, and it is a prosperous scene. Gu Chi was amazed, he never thought that there would be such a scenery in the north, and he thought that he had been here for nearly two months, and he didn't know such a good place.

Donnie Yen couldn't hold back his excitement, and was also stunned by the sight, his nose was attached to the car glass, and he looked at the scene and said, "Wow! I can't imagine that Jiyun has such a place, just like a picture of the life of the peaceful and prosperous market. Luo Haiwen was in the front seat, turned around and smiled: "Today is the county temple fair, so it is very lively." The bridge in front of you, named Zhuqiao, has a history of more than 300 years, can be regarded as a business card of Jiyun, the surrounding area is the old city, the business is more developed, and the flow of people is very large. Under the bridge is the Runhe River, which belongs to the Daqing River system of the Haihe River Basin, with abundant water and clear water quality, which is the treasure of our Jiyun County. From this place to the west twenty miles, there is a mountain called West Mountain, there is a spring on the mountain called Runquan, all the year round to bubble out of the water, never exhausted, the taste is clear and sweet, and finally into the Runhe, the two depend on each other. The reason why Jiyun has a developed wine industry has a lot to do with it, otherwise it will not create a strong aroma of local wine, and its mellow and fragrant characteristics are unparalleled. ”

After listening to a rich explanation, Gu Chi praised: "Brother Wen is really powerful, and the explanation is good and professional." Hua Yiming, who was driving, quipped: "That's it, you Brother Wen Bo Gu Tong is all over the world, and there are a lot of dry goods in your stomach!" He laughed. Luo Haiwen shook his head and said modestly: "No, no, Brother Ming is laughing with the two of you." As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed to the bridge, "Do you see the lion dance on the bridge, which is the most famous performance of Jiyun, known as the reputation of 'Northern Lion Authentic', which has been reviewed by party and state leaders such as *, Zhou Enlai, etc., and has been performed many times in other countries in the world, becoming a well-known cultural brand at home and abroad, and now it has been approved as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. ”

Donnie Yen's face was pleasantly surprised, as if Magellan had discovered a new world, and said happily: "I can't imagine that a small county town has so many cultural attractions." Luo Haiwen smiled, and turned to look at the mysterious and said: "There are two things to do in Jiyun, do you know what they are?" Gu Chi's face was full of confusion, he didn't know what to do, his eyes widened, and he repeated: "What is it?" Luo Haiwen and Hua Yiming laughed, leaving the two young people puzzled, and looked at the two of them suspiciously. The laughter stopped, and Luo Haiwen deliberately slowed down his speech and said, "One is to drink the runquan, and the other is to watch the lion dance." Runquan is not only a famous spring, but also a famous wine, if you don't drink Runquan wine, you will be a Jiyun person in vain! Tonight, you two will be able to taste the sweet wine of the world. Gu Chi suddenly realized, scratched the back of his head, and couldn't help but be happy. Donnie Yen snorted: "I'm not strong enough to drink." Gu Chi was a little surprised, the night he first saw it, he saw that this guy didn't look like a novice at all, so why did he say such a thing.

Hua Yiming held the steering wheel in his hand, stared ahead, carefully avoided pedestrians, and said with a smile: "Drinking is slowly practiced, you will all be walking in the officialdom in the future, how can you not drink alcohol, take advantage of your youth to dare to drink and fight, so that you can be a big leader." Haven smiled but didn't say a word. At this moment, the voices of people, shouts, horns, etc. outside were mixed, and the car was originally heading north, but due to the crowding, it had to change its route to the west.

A short time later, the car stopped in front of a house. There were a few houses scattered in front of him, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and the hustle and bustle of the market disappeared without a trace, and it seemed that he should have reached the outskirts of the city. The surrounding environment is quiet, the green willows hang down the waist, the breeze gusts, the roadside flowers bloom in purple and red, the grass in the ground is like a green carpet, and the air is filled with a hint of fragrance, which is refreshing. Get out of the car, take a closer look at the yard in front of you, and can't help but sigh a little, which can be described as:

The solid wood door nails Zhu gate, the three-foot plate lion Gu on both sides. Glazed green tile phoenix cornice, colorful auspicious gold stroke. Lingxiu is delicate and bright, and the purple gas comes to the east to put it in the middle.

The northern houses are generally larger, and at a rough glance, the place is about two acres. This is not in Guchi's hometown, the south has always been densely populated, a family is nothing more than a homestead, can have such a large yard, it is rare. There is a couplet standing next to the Guangliang Gate, saying: The old family in the world for hundreds of years is nothing more than accumulating virtue, and the first good thing in the world is still reading. Ebony gold characters, the penmanship is strong, faintly revealing the elegance of the owner. Gu Chi stroked his chin and looked at the font several times in succession, but it was difficult to say what kind of body it belonged to, but he only felt that Liu Yan Ou had both charm and charm, and there was also a bit of thin gold of Emperor Huizong. There are a few purple-leaved barberry trees planted next to the door, and there is a rough stone on the left, which reads: Half a square garden, and there is a piece of "Taishan Stone Dare to be" on the right.

Hua Yiming locked the car, stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was a bang, two sounds, and with a bang, the door was opened. Just listening to the footsteps inside, a man in his forties walked out. This person's hair is parted to the neck, permed and slightly curly combed behind his head, his eyes are bright, he is wearing a light gray horse coat, a mid-open collar placket, and six right-angled buttons on his sleeves, which looks rich and casual. The other party smiled heartily, made a gesture of invitation with his right hand, and said, "Come in, the dish has been cooked, and the others have not arrived yet." Hua Yiming stepped forward, rushed into the yard, sniffed and said, "It's so fragrant!" The man smiled and said, "It's all your good sister-in-law's craft, just eat more in a while." Today, there happened to be a few fresh living things in the market, so I bought them and made them, and you gourmets can feast on them. Luo Haiwen introduced to the man: "They are newly recruited civil servants by the county government this year, and they are both very outstanding young people. He turned his head to the two of them: "This is the only teacher Li, who is very influential in the calligraphy world, and is a cultural celebrity in our Jiyun County and even Shanggu City, and people who come to ask for works have to queue up for a long time." Now, Mr. Li's pen fee is charged on a flat foot basis. The two nodded in greeting, and looked at each other with admiration.

Suddenly, Gu Chi noticed that the man's eyes looking at him were a little unusual, as if there was an indescribable surprise, but it was fleeting. Li Weiwei paced slowly and sighed: "Alas, many friends come to ask for calligraphy and painting, and now they are not busy every day, and they feel that there is not enough time. Hua Yiming kept playing with the sandalwood strings on his wrist, and said with a smile: "Whoever asks for calligraphy and painting in the future will directly mark the price, and friends are no exception." If you're embarrassed, I'll collect it for you. Li Weiwei laughed and didn't pick up the conversation. This is what Mr. Hua is best at. Luo Haiwen said with a slight hint of concern. Everyone walked into one of the annex rooms to the west.

Only then did Gu Chi carefully inspect the surroundings. It is a courtyard with two entrances inside and outside, and the decoration is not very luxurious, but it is simple and clean. There is a main house in the front yard, two side rooms in the east and west, and a blue brick paved road in the middle, which is winding and winding, with colorful flowers and plants planted on both sides, and several potted plants placed on the veranda are blooming brightly. The sound of a few people talking came from the west room, and the two stepped in, and a strong smell of books came to their faces. I saw a large case of pear marble by the window, stacked with various celebrity stickers, one side of the finely carved black inkstone, a mottled ink stained calligraphy and painting felt, and the brush inserted in the sea of pens was like a forest. On the side is a blue and white porcelain vase, in which are a few bunches of dried rice seedlings. On the west wall, there is a large "cursive thousand-character text", which is a rare treasure of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, without tireless pen, in one go, quite spectacular. There is a stepping bed on the east side, which is simple and elegant. There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging around, and the inscriptions are all "idle vegetarian" and "half square layman". Gu Chi secretly sighed, the average big family is nothing more than magnificent, full of jewelry, where there will be such a charm, presumably this person is not ordinary. Two wooden chairs were placed against the north wall, and he and Donnie Yen sat on them and watched a few people talk about their paintings. Li Wei held a painting in his hand and gestured, and Luo Haiwen nodded from time to time.

After about a cigarette, the sound of a car came from outside the door, followed by several voices from far and near. And they came out of the house, one man and one woman. The man looks like he is in his fifties, his hair is short, his body is slender and long, a pair of thick eyebrows seem to be painted with a pen, his lips are bearded, his chin is hung with a three-inch beard, he is wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and he is wearing mille-feuille shoes. Women in their early twenties, with light makeup and shaved shoulders, an ordinary short-sleeved shirt is enough to set off a graceful figure, and an ultra-short summer pants can show off charming legs. The two young people couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect such a beauty to be here. Li Wei greeted enthusiastically: "It's a sin to miss the distance." The two of them came to the humble house, which really made the next Peng shine. The man laughed. Luo Haiwen introduced them one by one, the man is called Cheng Yi, an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he is well-known in Jiyun County; The woman is called Yi Fu and is a county radio announcer, no wonder she looks so beautiful. So, everyone got to know each other. When shaking hands, Gu Chi touched the woman's hand, which was as soft as boneless, and it was really a stunner in the world.
