Outside the mountain, when will the West Lake sing and dance?

The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou.

On the official road, there are two horses, one black and one white; On the horse, two people, a man and a woman, are Guo Mo and Huang Rong who came out of "Peach Blossom Island".

Lu Chengfeng really knows how to do things, and he has already asked people to go to the inn, drove Guo Mo and Huang Rong's "Song Dynasty version of the RV" back to "Guiyunzhuang", and sent the mounts of the two of them, black and white, to the "Peach Blossom Island".

Since the southbound Dali was determined, the two did not delay any longer, and early the next morning, they said goodbye to Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng, and left the "Peach Blossom Island" by boat.

When she went out to travel, Huang Rong had her own "Ziwei Soft Sword" by her side, but Guo Mo was already bare-handed.

The old man felt sorry for his son-in-law, so he chose a gold-sprinkled folding fan with stainless steel fan bones in his private arsenal and gave it to Guo Mo.

Therefore, the current Guo Mo has changed into a dress of a scholar's son, holding a gold-sprinkled paper fan, and his indescribable literary style.

It's just that Guo Mo continues to wear green soap clothes, and scholars wearing black all over their bodies are still very rare.

Huang Rong is still dressed in that dress, white from head to toe.

As the saying goes, "a woman should be pretty and filial", Huang Rong at this moment is really pretty to the extreme.

Last time, I rushed from "Guiyunzhuang" to "Peach Blossom Island", and I was too hasty along the way, and even passed by Lin'an, but I didn't enter.

This time, the two of them went to Dali, and they happened to take Lin'an, and the time was relatively relaxed, so the two planned to go to Lin'an City to go shopping, which was also the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Guo Mo wanted to see what was different from the capital of the Jin Kingdom that he had been to.

At the end of October, it was not cold, but it was definitely not hot.

Today's weather is fine, just in time for the "October Little Spring".

The sun is always hanging in the sky, Guo Mo and Huang Rong, who set off early in the morning, finally saw the east gate of Lin'an before the sun set.

This capital city is not large, about 14 miles long from north to south, and about 5 miles wide from east to west.

"North-south exhibition, east and west shrinkage", shaped like a waist drum, so Lin'an's nickname is also called "waist drum city".

It spans Wushan Mountain in the south, Wulin Gate in the north, Qiantang River on the left, and West Lake on the right, which is magnificent and magnificent.

The two rushed into Lin'an City before the city gate was closed.

Lin'an takes the Royal Street as the main road, and the Royal Street starts from the north gate of the palace and the Ning Gate, and ends at the Jingling Palace in the north of the city, with a total length of about nine miles, and there are also four north-south roads similar to the direction of the Royal Street.

There are also four east-west arterial roads, all of which are passages between the east and west city gates.

Guo Mo and the others came in from the east gate, and now the lights are on, just in time for the night market in Lin'an.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, although it was a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, it loved to enjoy it the most, competing to eat, drink and have fun, and extravagance and corruption became a trend.

Even on ordinary days, the commercial street restaurants and painting boats in Lin'an City have to be open until after the third watch.

"Rong'er, let's find a place to eat and stay first, if you don't feel tired, how about going to visit the night view of Lin'an?"

"The Sword Comes"

Huang Rong is also a lively person, so naturally she will not refuse.

The two of them rode horses and walked slowly down the street.

In front of the old distance, I saw a tall archway, with the words "Shou'an Fang" written on it, which is almost to the heavenly street?

"Brother Mo, how about we go here?"

Guo Mo turned his head and saw that Huang Rong was pointing to a restaurant called "Taihe Building", which was three stories high, decorated with golden splendor, hanging lights and colors everywhere, and there was a flow of people coming out and going in at the door.

Guo Mo was also a little hungry, this restaurant looked good, so he didn't want to look for it again.

The two dismounted, took the reins, and came to the door of "Taihe Building", just in time to be seen by the guys who came out to see off the guests.

"Hey, you're here, two guest officers, please come in quickly."

The man greeted warmly, skillfully took the horses one by one.

"Are you two sharpening or staying in the hotel?" The guy asked.

"Shoot first, then stay for the night."

Guo Mo took out a tael of silver and gave it to this guy.

"Uncle Xie, the two old guests upstairs-"

The guy handed the reins in his hand to the little guy who came up, and took Guo Mo and Huang Rong inside.

Just in time for the meal, there are so many people here, and there is no place in the hall on the first floor.

Follow the stairs to the second floor, which is also full, except for two tables in the middle.

Seeing Guo Mo's not very satisfied expression, this guy also looked embarrassed.

"Two, this is the time for dinner, and most of the people who come to 'Taihe Building' at night will drink, and the time will be longer, you see? ......”

"Is there still a place on the third floor?" Guo Mo frowned and asked.

"The third floor is mainly a private room, but there are two vacant ones, but the cost of the private room is expensive, you are the two, isn't it ......"

The guy was kind enough to worry about the money for them.

As soon as Guo Mo heard it, it's good to have a place, is the problem of money still a problem?

"Lead the way—" The three of them came to the third floor again.

Indeed, the third floor is much quieter, and occasionally from which box can there be a high and a low sound of drinking.

Seventeen boxes are set up in the circle of the entire floor, eight on the left and right, one at the horizontal end, and the aisle in the middle.

The guy led Guo Mo and Huang Rong to the fourth box on the left, and saw a table of eight immortals, which was enough for eight people.

The view from the third floor is also good, and the lights from far and near are in full view, especially the one next to it, the north and south streets, like a fire dragon.

"Guest officer, that is the famous Royal Street, also known as Heavenly Street, which leads north to the Imperial Palace."

"This private room is generally used by dignitaries or wealthy businessmen to entertain guests, and the fee for the private room alone is twenty taels of silver." The guy kindly reminded again.

"Haha, man, don't worry, you're indispensable."

After speaking, Guo Mo took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his arms and handed it to the guy.

"Go and bring the recipe, this silver ticket will be given to you first, and all the expenses will be calculated together when the time comes."

The guy took the silver ticket, looked at it, and took out a large cookbook as if by magic.

"Guest officer, our family is hot and fried, famous dishes from the north and south, everything is available, you can order it at will."

Guo Mo gave the recipe to Huang Rong, he didn't want to work hard for it, so he should give it to a professional.

There was not much time, so Huang Rong ordered six dishes and asked Guo Mo for a small jar of "Qionghualu".

"Brother Mo, I asked you for a jar of Yangzhou's 'Qionghua Dew', according to legend, Emperor Yang of Sui built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in order to come to Yangzhou to see Qionghua."

Don't look at the restaurant's many customers, the speed of serving is really not slow.

Guo Mo was really hungry, no outsiders were present, and he didn't pay much attention to it, a gust of wind swept the clouds, and he ate all over the ditch.

Huang Rong also sat next to her and ate, but it was more than Guo Moswen's, and while eating, she looked at Guo Mo and smiled.

"Brother Mo, you still don't want to dress up as a scholar, how can there be such a 'rude' scholar as you eat?"

"Hehe, I'm not hungry, am I? Besides, the food here is really good. ”

Guo Mo was said to be "old face" red, and hurriedly filled himself with a glass of wine, while waiting for Huang Rong to eat vegetables, while drinking "Qionghualu".

In fact, Guo Mo doesn't like to drink wine in this era.

Don't look at all kinds of nice names, most of them are fruit wine, rice wine, and rice wine, Guo Mo still misses the high-grade liquor that sent him here.

Between the private rooms, the sound insulation effect is not very ideal, especially the martial arts to the point of Guo Mo.

The attention was not on the meal, and the voices of the left and right sides of the conversation "unconsciously" reached Guo Mo's ears.

Among them, the conversation in the private room on the left aroused Guo Mo's interest.

"Brother Zhang Nian, what do you mean by what Shi Xiang said today?"

"What do you mean? Brother Liu, our Lord Shi Xiang, is not satisfied with the candidate for the crown prince recommended by everyone. ”

Guo Mo was stunned, he didn't expect to hear this kind of secret after a meal.

Busy with Huang Rong to make a look, pluck your ears and listen carefully.

"Hey, poor 'official' gave birth to nine sons, all of them died, these years from the royal family's children, these few people were selected to be raised in the palace, and it was easy to have a prince, and he died again in August this year."

"Looking at the body of the 'official', I don't know...... I'll have to choose another one. ”

"Brother Liu, do you really think that you are not worthy of choosing this one today?" "Brother Zhang Nian" seems to have drunk two more glasses.

"Brother Zhang Nian, the younger brother is foolish, and I also ask Brother Nian for advice." "Brother Liu" said.

The young brother seemed to stand up, opened the curtain and went out to take a look, and then returned to his seat, and said in a low voice.

"Shi Xiang wants to choose an obedient one, do you understand?"

The two people next door no longer talked about the previous topic and started some of the men's favorites.

Guo Mo was worried that he had stained Huang Rong's ears, and seeing that she had almost eaten, he walked out of the door and prepared to go downstairs.

The guy was waiting right there.

"Have you two eaten and drunk? The room has been prepared for you, do you two go out for a walk first, or go back to your room to rest? ”

After a meal, Huang Rong was actually a little tired.

"Brother Mo, either go back to the room and rest, I'm a little tired after a day of riding."

Guo Mo didn't care, anything could be done, since Huang Rong was tired, the two went back to the room directly.

Seeing that the guy had only booked an upper room, Guo Mo was about to reason with him, but Huang Rong stopped him.

Guo Mo had no choice but to give up and let the guy clean his face and wash his feet with water to the room.

"Rong'er, live in one room, isn't it ......?"

Seeing that Guo Mo was still struggling with this, Huang Rong smiled "poof".

"Fool, aren't we all in the same room in the Valley of the Gods, in the carriage? Not to mention...... Besides, we're all engaged. ”

In the second half of the sentence, the voice was so low that even she could hardly hear it.

......

That night, Guo Mo and Huang Rong lived in the "Taihe Building".

And to the northwest, five miles away from here, is the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the imperial study, the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Ningzong Zhao Kuo, has not yet slept.

An old eunuch drove everyone out, and he waited by himself.

"You old, what are you doing to kick everyone out? I'm still worried, are they going to learn from the master behind it? ”

The old eunuch didn't dare to answer this, "Everyone, you don't deserve to be angry about this matter, isn't there still Shi Xiang in Hengzhu?" ”

"Shi Xiang, do you think he Shi Miyuan is a good thing, cough cough ......"

Ning Zong coughed again, and the old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back gently.

"Everyone, the old slave said something taboo, you have to save your body, if you really fall, who will we hand over to the Great Song Dynasty?"

The old eunuch said, and he actually cried.

"Everyone, although what the ministers said was a little excessive, but what they said is also the truth, after all, after all, the nine princes you have produced......"

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, he saw Ning Zong's sharp gaze stabbing over, is this still the Ning Zong who is obsessed with Taoism?

"Stand down."

Although he was very dissatisfied, this old eunuch had followed him for more than 20 years, and he had been by his side since Ning Zong ascended the throne, so he spoke a little presumptuously.

In the imperial study, quietly, only Ning Zong was left, and there were two flickering candles.

"Great Song Jiangshan, what a good Great Song Jiangshan! Those children of the royal family are all waiting for me to swallow this breath, right? ”

"The ninth son died young, let me ask which one in history can be the emperor who can be my part?"

"The nine princes who gave birth to their own sons, all of them died young, you are so ruthless!"

Two lines of clear tears flowed down Ning Zong's face.

In his heart, he silently muttered again:

"Ah Han, is our little Qi still alive?"
