Chapter 9 The Great City of Hangzhou

After another day of recuperation, Li Jiuxi had recovered.

Li Jiuxi said: "How about we leave tomorrow?"

Xu An saw that Li Jiuxi was in good spirits and said, "Okay." ”

The next day, the two set off, but the shopkeeper said, "Geng Yi Gongzi has prepared a carriage for you, and you can take the carriage to set off." ”

Both of them were surprised and moved by Geng Yi's behavior, so they rode in a carriage.

The two of them didn't say anything in the carriage, so Xu An took out the "Zhuangzi" he brought and read it, while Li Jiuxi sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and recuperated, and entered a state of qi training.

After Xu An was tired, he glanced at Li Jiuxi and saw that her hair was slightly disheveled, and she was simply tied in the head rope, thinking that the hairpin was lost in the previous fight.

I don't know how long it took for Li Jiuxi to regain his attention and wake up from the meditation. Xu An looked at her and smiled, took out a camphor hairpin, and said, "Give it to you." ”

Li Jiuxi took the hairpin and said, "Thank you." After holding it in his hand, he found that it was a delicate hairpin, and he was curious: "Why do you have this on you?"

Xu An smiled: "When you were meditating, you got out of the car and cut a branch, and then there was it." ”

This walk was not fast, after a few days of bumps, finally arrived in Hangzhou City. They got out of the car and let the driver go back.

The huge city gate tower sign appeared in front of me. The towers are magnificent, the streets are wide, people come and go, and trade is prosperous.

On both sides are neat houses, under which there are tea houses, cloth shops, wine shops, restaurants, foot shops, butcher shops, medical clinics, cart repairs, fortune telling, face trimming, etc., all walks of life.

Some large shops still have "Cailou Huanmen" on their heads, hanging big flags to solicit business.

On the streets, there are three religions and nine streams, and there is everything. There are businessmen, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, buyers of purchases, dependents in sedan chairs, monks on their backs, wanderers asking for directions, children in the streets and alleys who listen to stories, children drinking in restaurants, disabled elderly people begging on the edge of the city, and so on.

Xu An looked at the bustling Huanglong Street, full of surprise, the scene outside turned out to be so lively, which made him a little lost and flustered.

It was also the first time for Li Jiuxi to see such a prosperous scene, and his eyes were full of appreciation and excitement.

The two of them walked through the lively streets, as if their bodies were no longer like their own. Xu An was afraid that the two of them would get lost in the crowd, so he pulled Li Jiuxi's sleeve. Li Jiuxi saw a vendor selling sugar gourds, so he went up and bought two sugar gourds. One for each person, enjoying the excitement of the crowd and the sweet feeling brought by the sugar gourd.

After walking through the lively Huanglong Street, you will enter Yugu Street, which is much quieter all of a sudden, just like two worlds. Far away can see a quaint college is located on the Yugu Street, the magnificent and tall building is written on the Zhejiang College, on both sides of which is a couplet: "Since the lecture in Zhejiang, there will be famous people; "A strong sense of pride came over us.

Xu An was surprised: "Wow, I didn't expect there to be a school here outside the city, let's go over and have a look." ”

Li Jiuxi said: "Okay." ”

After passing through the building and entering the academy, it is another world, which is big in one word. Thinking about the academy in his town, Xu An smiled. There is one house, two old masters and dozens of students. It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to officially go to the academy yet.

There is a stone tablet at the door, the tablet introduces the history of the academy, the original Zhejiang College was founded in the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty Confucian Dong Zhongshu once lectured here.

The buildings in the courtyard are scattered, the trees are arranged in an orderly manner, and the winding paths are secluded.

At this time, the sound of poetry and books came from the next room. Xu An walked in curiously and saw a young man by the window, holding up the book and sleeping soundly, and the old master on the stage didn't know it. How many people are eager to read but can't, and how many people like this teenager have this opportunity and fall asleep soundly. Things in the world are inherently strange, Xu An looked at the sleeping teenager and smiled.

When he turned around to leave, Xu An seemed to remember something, picked up the small pebble on the ground, and threw it on the young man's book, only to see that the book fell down, pressing the young man, he woke up in shock, and stood up suddenly, Xu An pulled Li Jiuxi and ran quickly, and the two laughed, like thieves.

Li Jiuxi said with a smile: "That dreaming boy is probably going to be punished because of you." ”

Xu An stretched out his hands and smiled helplessly.

In the distance, on the grass, a group of teenagers were juju, and a group of people were watching. Looking at how much they scored for the ball, their faces were red and sweaty, Xu An suddenly thought of his younger brother, when he was at home, he and his younger brother often bowed, at first both of them couldn't score goals, in order to score goals, they held their breath and practiced hard with each other, and then Xu An scored, his brother practiced more diligently, and then they played together, no one wanted to lose a goal, and often the two of them were tired and lay on the grass motionless. Thinking of this, Xu An smiled, and then was a little sad, he had been away from home for a few months, and he was a little homesick.

Li Jiuxi said: "Why are you unhappy?"

Xu An said: "No, it's just that I saw them bowing, and I was a little homesick, and I used to play with my brother a lot." ”

Li Jiuxi said: "It looks fun, is it easy?"

Xu An said: "You should learn quickly, and there is a chance to teach you." ”

Li Jiuxi said: "Okay." ”

At this time, it seems that they are about to separate.

Out of Zhejiang College, go to the southeast, and you will come to the West Lake. At this time, the sun is about to set, and the afterglow shines on the water, sparkling and colorful.

Li Jiuxi said happily: "Wow, what a beautiful lake and mountains." ”

Xu An also said excitedly: "Yes, the first time I saw the West Lake written in the book, the water is shining and sunny, the great poet Su Dongpo once praised the West Lake, but I didn't expect to finally see it today." ”

Li Jiuxi admired the lake and tasted poetry. The afterglow of the sun, coupled with the reflection in the lake and the water vapor in the lake, shone on her face, hazy, like a fairy, and attracted several teenagers on the side of the road to stop.

Xu An is also appreciating, how beautiful. Unfortunately, the sun gradually set in the western mountains, and the sky gradually settled down.

Xu An said: "It's too late, let's rest for one night today, and then go to the Yinyue Sect tomorrow, what do you think?"

Li Jiuxi said: "Okay." ”
