58. Hangzhou tour West Lake

After everyone rested for a day, they were still in a low mood when they saw that Du was still in a low mood.

Li Fuxing discussed with Zhu Er and the third sister for a while, and originally wanted Du Buyi to rest at home for a few more days.

Zhu Sanmei heard passers-by mention that Hangzhou is not far from here, and it is very fun, so she insisted on pulling a few people to Hangzhou, which is more prosperous than Suzhou.

Several people had planned to go to Hangzhou to play, and seeing this, they also happened to follow the third sister, and they could also take Du Yi, who locked himself in the room all day, to relax.

Several people rode horses, and finally arrived at noon and saw an ancient city tower with a plaque on it that read Wulin Gate.

I saw that the neighborhood was full of traders carrying bamboo baskets full of various fish, and some customers buying fish.

Zhu Er got off the horse and took the opportunity to grab a middle-aged woman who was buying fish and asked:

"Auntie, it's in Hangzhou City."

The middle-aged woman was suddenly grabbed by a teenager, and was naturally startled, and when she saw that the teenager had no malicious intent, she replied:

"If you enter the Wulin Gate here, you will be inside the city of Hangzhou."

Zhu Er asked again:

"Auntie, I heard that there are many interesting places in Hangzhou, what do you know"?

The aunt replied:

"Coming to Hangzhou to play, of course, is to visit the West Lake, and there is also the scenery ......."

At this time, before the aunt finished speaking, a middle-aged man about the same age as the aunt on the side pushed the aunt away and said to Zhu Er:

"What can he understand as a woman, of course he came to Hangzhou to see the beauties, the beauty of the brothels in Hangzhou, but other places can't compare."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he was kicked by the aunt next to him and said:

"You old silver stick, you are just lustful, and you still seduce other young people, do you know shame."

After kicking, he took the middle-aged man's ear with one hand and walked into the city, it seems that these two are naturally husband and wife.

At this time, Zhu Sanmei took out a silver stick, pointed at the second brother Zhu Er, and said:

"I'm going to West Lake to play, don't run away and leave me aside as soon as you hear the beauty of Hangzhou, anyway, none of you can go to that kind of place."

After speaking, he pointed at Du Buxin and Li Fuxing with a silver stick, especially when he pointed at Du Buxing, he glared at Du Buxing.

Du didn't forget to keep his head down at this time, thinking about Liu Shuzhen.

After a while, a few people came to the West Lake, although it was already hot summer noon, but there was a cool breeze blowing by the West Lake, which was very comfortable.

Du did not forget to walk to the West Lake at this time, and his mood instantly improved a lot, after all, the first two were immersed in the sadness of Liu Shuzhen's departure.

At this time, a white-bearded fisherman dressed in a straw coat and wearing a cloak sat on the shore by the lake, looked into the lake in front of him, and read:

Outside the mountain, the building outside the green mountain

When will the West Lake sing and dance be closed?

When Du Bu heard it, he said to Zhu Er:

"Isn't this old man reading the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lin Sheng's "Title Lin'an Residence"?

Then he approached the old man, and looked at the middle of the lake, and sure enough, there was a large pleasure boat in the lake.

Looking more closely, I saw a group of dancing girls on the bedboard, and a woman playing the piano next to her, and a large group of people dressed as sons and brothers stood behind the dancers and piano girls.

Sure enough, it is the song and dance of the West Lake, looking at the other side of the lake, not far away a number of attics stand on the opposite bank, and behind the attic are continuous green hills.

Du Zhen couldn't help but admire Lin Shenglai, who wrote poetry:

"The ancients only said that Tang poems and Song lyrics, but they forgot that there was still a poet Lin Sheng in the Song Dynasty."

The old man heard the man behind him sigh and said:

"What is the difference between the present state and the scene when the poet wrote the poem?"

At this time, Zhu Er came over when he heard what the old man said, so he saluted and asked the old man:

"Why did the old gentleman say this, isn't it time for me to celebrate the chaos and sing and dance?"

Unexpectedly, the old man turned his head and tore the beard on his mouth at this time, and he was actually a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man in the prime of life.

said to Zhu Er:

"I have Tatars in the north of the Ming Dynasty and Japanese in the south, so how can I say the life of singing and dancing."

Du did not forget to hurry over and salute and asked:

"It turns out that the old man is a patriotic big brother, I don't know if this big brother has a big name"?

The man in the prime of life said:

"Under the surname Zhu, a single name, a native of Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture, and then asked Du not to forget the names of several people."

Li Fuxing and the third sister naturally came to the side, and they each introduced their names to Zhu Kun, and Zhu Er and the third sister naturally would not easily reveal their identities.

Zhu Kun seemed to like Zhu Er a lot, and kept pulling Zhu Er to talk about the troubles in the court, and Zhu Er was also interested, so he put Du Buxing, Li Fuxing and the third sister aside.

Du Bu remembered that the three of them were chatting happily, and they were not easy to disturb, so they came to the Yuewang Temple on the shore nearby to have a look.

At this time, the incense in the Yuewang Temple was very prosperous, and the pilgrims who came to the incense were also endless, and several people also went to the temple to make incense.

As they were walking through the gate, a middle-aged monk dressed as a monk stopped the two and the three of them on their way.

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Why is the master in our way".

The monk stretched out his hand in front of him, and then Li Fuxing quickly took out some broken silver and put it in the monk's hand, and the monk immediately stepped aside, and then asked a few people to make a gesture.

When Du Bu Bu saw this, he was angry for a while, so he glared at the middle-aged monk, but the middle-aged monk saw Du Bu such a look, so he waved his hand, and more than ten bald monks came next to him.

At this time, Li Fuxing hurriedly pulled Du Yifu, and then made a gesture with the monk, and walked to the back incense hall.

Du Bu did not forget to say to Li Fuxing as he walked:

"Let's come to worship Lord Yue, why should we give these monks silver."

Li Fuxing said:

"Don't you know? Now all kinds of temples such as Guan Gong Temple and Yue Wang Temple have basically become places where these monks and Taoists make money, and they collude with the government, if you go against them, you will have to go to the government prison."

Du did not forget to ask again:

"These monks are really lawless, and entering the incense is a free almsgiving, but I didn't expect it to be forced now, it's really no different from robbers."

Li Fuxing smiled:

"People are in a good place, there is no way, let's try to make as little trouble as possible here."

Du didn't forget to sigh and reluctantly replied:

"It's a pity that Prince Yue was loyal all his life, serving the country and the people, but I didn't expect that after his death, the temple would become a place for the monks and officials to slaughter the people."

Several people walked in front of the bronze statue of Prince Yue in the back room, and many people were queuing up to worship incense.

The words recited by the incense worshippers are all asking Prince Yue to bless them with many sons and blessings, and the women are asking for the health of their families in addition to marriage.

After a while, Li Fuxing and the third sister finished begging, and it was Du Don't forget's turn, and Du Buyi begged for incense:

"I hope that Prince Yue will bless the wicked people in the world to die quickly, and the good people will have a safe life."

After Du did not forget to plead, several people walked out of the temple, and Li Fuxing said to Du Buyi:

"Brother Du, what are you asking for?"

Du did not forget to say what he had just asked.

Li Fuxing laughed:

"Brother Du, you want to be a chivalrous and righteous man, but unfortunately, your wish is basically unrealizable."

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"Why did Brother Li say that"?

Li Fuxing replied:

"Nowadays, the bad guys are living a chic life and a long life. It is better for a good person to be a bad person than to be a bad person sometimes."

At this time, Zhu Sanmei said to Li Fuxing:

"I think you're a bad person, don't mislead me into not forgetting my brother."

After speaking, he pulled Du Yi and walked back to where Zhu Er was.

At this time, Du Buyi also hesitated a little, why was he so tired of living, either immersed in this matter, or for that person, his mind was full of confusion.

After a while, a few people walked back to Zhu Er and Zhu Zhi, and the two of them were still talking, as if they didn't notice that a few people next to them went shopping and came back.

Seeing this, Zhu Sanmei patted Zhu Er's back, and Zhu Er, who was talking, was startled, and quickly turned around to see that it was her sister.

Du Bu Bu took the opportunity to say to a few people:

"You see, now that the sun is starting to set in the west, if the second brother and Brother Zhu feel that the conversation is not happy, let's find a place to eat and drink before chatting."

When Zhu Kun saw the sky, it was indeed not early, so Zhu Er asked Zhu Kun:

"Brother Zhu has been here for a few days, and I know what delicious restaurants are nearby."

Zhu Kun lowered his head and said:

"Brother, I came here to play, has been penniless, yesterday I met an old man fishing here, fell into the water, and saved her, unexpectedly, he was drowned, I had no clothes to wear, so he passed his dead man's clothes, took his fishing rod, wanted to catch a few fish here for food, but there was none, so I read the poem, just met you."

Then he pointed to the other side, and the building said:

"I don't have the money to eat, so you can go eat first."

Zhu Er hurriedly replied:

"I have been talking with Mr. for so long, Xiao Wang, I admire Mr. very much for the heart of the country, if Mr. has nowhere to go in the future, he can follow Xiao Wang"?

Zhu Kun saw Zhu Er, who had been talking for so long, and called himself Xiao Wang at this time, and his face was indeed very human when he looked closely.

immediately bowed to Zhu Er, and exclaimed:

"It turns out that you are the little prince, I don't know where the little prince was born"?

Zhu Er replied:

"This king is the son of the lake Guangxing Wangfu".

Then he stepped forward to help Zhu Kun and said:

"Brother Zhu, don't come to these etiquettes outside, I hope Brother Zhu will forgive me, I originally came out to play in private clothes, and I just had a lot to hide."

Then he pointed to Zhu Sanmei behind him and said:

"This is my sister Yong'an County Lord."

Zhu Kun immediately came over and saluted.

The third sister, I haven't seen anyone salute me for more than half a month, so I deliberately said to Zhu Kun:

"You actually know that I am the county lord, so can I put on the prestige of the county lord?"

When Zhu Kun heard this, he thought to himself, this must be a barbaric county lord, I don't know if there is any ghost way to fix himself, so he replied:

"The county lord is naturally majestic, and I, Zhu Kun, a scholar, am afraid that the county lord is majestic."

Zhu Er saw the third sister playing like this with the friend he had just met, so he said to the third sister:

"Third sister, don't offend Brother Zhu, they are our brothers, you can't offend Brother Zhu by putting on the limelight."

The third sister ignored the second brother, and said to Zhu Kun:

"I scared you just now, haha, I actually want you to be my guard, how about it."

Zhu Kun had been thinking about his future, but now he was poor, and when he saw that the county lord was willing to let him be his guard, he immediately agreed:

"Okay, I, Zhu Kun, am really honored, and it is naturally very desirable to be a guard next to the county lord of Yong'an today."

Zhu Er had already had the intention of recruiting Zhu Su into the palace, and when he saw that his sister wanted him to be a guard, he naturally said to Zhu Zhi with a smile:

"Brother Zhu, I am willing to be my sister's guard, it is really my luck to rejuvenate the palace, if my sister is offended in the future, Brother Zhu will definitely inform Xiao Wang."

Zhu Kun replied:

"I see, little prince."

Zhu Er said to Zhu Kun again:

"Brother Zhu, I hope to hide my identity for Xiao Wang all the way."

Zhu Kun replied:

"I see".

A few people went to the restaurant on the other side of the lake that Zhu Su pointed to.
