Immediately, someone took the pen and ink, spread the paper flat, grinded the ink thick, dipped in the pen full, Wang Zaqing took advantage of the wine, picked up the pen to make the word "Red Window", and said:

"The spring period is near, looking at the emperor's hometown, and it is still in the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I hate the soles of my feet, and I catch up with fifty or sixty miles a day.

Fight to support me, turn the official home, reward you to wear the opposite pair of boots, and arrange for you to be in the sedan chair.

Choose the right pair of bow-like shoes to accompany you at night. ”

When Xie Youlong saw it, he laughed and said: "What a consolation poem, if you are tired of walking on two legs, you should also comfort and comfort it." ”

The shopkeeper also smiled: "Guest officer, he writes with a good thin gold body, the pen is fluttering and fast, the handwriting is thin, and he is thin without losing his flesh. Admire!

Wang Zaqing said with a smile: "I learned from the emperor Lao Tzu who 'can do everything, but can't be the king'." ”

The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that he also had a collection of pictures, which was the "Ma Zhou Mao Foot Map" painted by Cen Wenwen, which was similar to the first word made by Wang Zaqing, and was not separated from the word "foot", so he hurriedly said: "I saw this consolation word made by the guest officer below, and suddenly remembered that there is also a collection of "Ma Zhou Mao Foot Map" painted by Cen Wenwen, and I must also ask which of you guest officials to give ink, the inscription is on the top, and I am grateful for it below. ”

Wang Zaqing laughed and said: "The shopkeeper is also an elegant person, and today he is so generous, invite all of me to eat this table." A few of us are happy today, you should go and get the paintings! No matter how many, I will give you a question. ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly went in to get two volumes of paintings, wiped and wiped a table next to him, and spread out the volume of "Ma Zhou's Foot Drawing".

When Wang Zaqing saw it, he laughed and said, "I just made a consolation poem, but this time I invited Mr. Xie to come." ”

Xie Youlong laughed and said: "Okay!" is not polite, the inscription is not written, nor does he think, the text does not add points, the pen goes to the dragon and snake, in one go, in the corner of the picture scroll, wrote:

"The world is still speaking, and I am alone.

The mouth is easy to prosper, and it is enough to step on the land.

Everywhere is not leaning, thousands of miles can be chased.

Labor is rewarded, and there is no word to endure humiliation.

Reward them with wine and comfort their servants.

Let you forget your worries, and you will be tired of it.

Calling for the king of Bin, see the extraordinary. ”

Wang Zaqing and the shopkeeper were full of praise. Wang Zaqing said: "Mr. calligraphy, jumping on the side, calm and happy." It seems to be chic and unrestrained, and strict with the law, stable and not vulgar, dangerous and not strange, old and not dry, moist and not fat, and really has the style of Minan Palace. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly spread out a picture of a "dove magpie", perhaps because he thought that Xie Youlong's handwriting was beautiful, or because he felt that Xie Youlong was more able to see the scene, and asked Xie Youlong to inscribe.

At this time, I only heard the voice of a woman in the inner room scolding someone loudly, and another woman loudly contradicted and quacked, and the noise came from the inside out, and the quarrel was non-stop.

Xie Youlong listened and asked the shopkeeper: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, who is making noise in the inner room?"

The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, and apologized again and again: "I really don't dare to hide it, this is my wife and concubine quarreling over trivial matters, and the concubine is not harmonious, even if there are customers in the store, sometimes they quarrel endlessly." I'm really sorry to defile you Yaxing. ”

Xie Youlong laughed and said, "No wonder the shopkeeper can make a fortune, he is so good-tempered." Suddenly an inspiration struck, and the inscription pen wrote in the corner of the painting:

"The dove snorted,

The dove calls the wind and rain, and the magpie calls the sunny;

But the old man is also difficult to master,

Rain does not work, but it does not shine. ”

When everyone saw these words, they burst into laughter.

The shopkeeper didn't care, but was very happy, and said: "Thank you for your generosity, so that the shop can obtain such a precious ink treasure, I am very happy and grateful! ”

Wang Zaqing said: "The shopkeeper is kind, we understand it." Don't bother the shopkeeper, tomorrow morning, we will go to the river by boat and leave. ”

The shopkeeper said: "A few guest officers, since you are going to take the waterway, there will be no boat tomorrow." ”

Wang Zaqing was surprised: "Why are there no boats on the waterway?"

The shopkeeper said: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the ship's family will only work the day after tomorrow, which is our practice here." Occasionally, there are a few ships, and you will be charged a sky-high price. I wonder where the guest officers want to go?"

Wang Zaqing said: "We are going to Lin'an, and we are going to take a boat to Shinshu." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Since you are going to Xinzhou, you can go to Yugan County to take a boat and walk along Yuganshui." It's much faster to take a boat than to travel through the mountains. Several guest officers had to stay in the small shop for another night, and the day after tomorrow they left early, and some of them went to Shinshu on large ships, and they carried so many horses. ”

Du Shenfei was surprised: "We just came from Yugan County, why do we want to go there to take a boat again?"

The shopkeeper said, "That is, you have taken the wrong path, not to the east, but to the north." ”

Wang Zaqing said: "I thought I needed to pass through Raozhou." ”

The crowd was taken aback. It turned out that in order to get rid of the minions that were not as good as the flowers, they only chose the main road and ran, regardless of the east, west, north and south, and came to this Raozhou. Helplessly, everyone had to make plans to stay another night and set off early the day after tomorrow.

Early the next morning, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the weather was clear and cloudless. Du Shenfei and the other five people walked out of the "Fuxiang Building" and played along the street. I saw all the roads buying and selling, and the clouds and fog gathered. Six streets and three markets, everywhere in the corners and alleys, every household has a lantern grille and hangs lanterns. Next to the Confucian Temple, under the twin towers, around the East Lake, outside the gate of the Recommending Blessing Temple, each open place has set up a number of Ao Mountains, different shapes, or coiling dragons, or flying phoenixes, or tigers, or lion dances, countless, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of lanterns. Although it is daytime, it has not been lit yet, and it is already resplendent and spectacular.

Du Shenfei and the other five people watched while walking. Straight to the northwest Zhishan, it is said that in the first year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty, three stems of Ganoderma lucidum were found on this mountain, and Xue Zhencai changed this mountain to "Zhishan". There is a pavilion on the mountain range called "Shiba-tei". There is a Zen temple at the southern foot of Zhishan, and there is a "Biyunxuan" behind the temple, which is the place where Fan Zhongyan studied in those years. During the Jingyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Fan Zhongyan was the governor of Raozhou, he left a poem "Yongzhi Mountain": "Cui Wei, the crown of the palace, and the Lingzhi is safe." The clouds flew over the river, and the flowers fell into the city. You have to eat crows and gather at night, and you can hear the tiger and return at night. Occasionally, when you come to the West Pavilion to look, the sunset of the five elders opens. ”

The crowd went south all the way to the river, but this river was the water of the Po River. was looking east and west, and was overwhelmed, only to see a person lying on a huge Taihu Lake stone, shouting: "Gan Luofa is early, and Peng Zuyan has not returned to life." Fan Dan is poor and rich, and the eight characters are born at different times. After a pause, he shouted again: "You don't need five elements and four pillars, you can know the rise and fall of fortune and misfortune." There were seven or eight men and women who were in a panic.

When Wang Zaqing heard this, he said, "Everyone, I don't know who the fortune teller is, who dares to say such big things?"

The calf immediately said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

Xie Youlong said: "If it can really be calculated, we will also calculate the future." ”

Wang Zaqing said: "I only go to see the excitement, and I have never believed in fortune telling." ”

When everyone approached to look, it turned out to be a Taoist priest, wearing a Tai Chi crown, with a clear appearance, gray hair, blind eyes, a stiff body, dirty Taoist clothes, and blue wisps. Beside him was a huge wine gourd and a walking stick.

Wang Zaqing approached and asked loudly: "Old Dao, let me ask you, you can't see it, you haven't read the books of ancient sages, how can you dare to despise the cycle of the five elements and the changes of the three talents between heaven and earth, and say that you know the rise and fall of fortune and misfortune?"

The old Taoist didn't raise his head, still lying on the stone, and said slowly: "I am proficient in "Zhou Yi" and good at distinguishing the six people. Zhan Qianxiang knows astronomy, geography and feng shui. The five stars know deeply, and the good fortune and evil are like gods; the secret talk of the three lives, and the rise and fall of success or failure seem to be seen. I don't need to look at my face to distinguish between life and death, I can tell the advance and retreat by listening to the voice. ”

Wang Zaqing was surprised: "Is there really such a miraculous effect?" Wang Zaqing looked up and looked around for a while, only to see a big boat in the middle of the river, with a creaking sound, coming from west to east, anchored on the shore. Wang Zaqing asked the old Taoist priest and said, "Daoist, since you can listen to the voice and distinguish between life and death. Then let me ask you, what is the good luck of this ship's rocking sound?"

The Taoist priest immediately said: "This sound of shaking the oar carries the sound of human death and sadness, and the ship must be carrying the body of a deceased magistrate." ”
