Everyone said goodbye to Sun and sold fish, and looked south. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After passing through Yongxing and Chenzhou, Wang Deba ordered the ships to wait here, and when the purchased goods were properly purchased and loaded here, they immediately returned to Tanzhou.
Du Shenfei ordered Doloris and Alexia to stay on the ship.
Everything was arranged, everyone took the land route, passed through Yizhang, Lechang, Qujiang, and passed through Yingde Mansion, and came to the city of Guangzhou without incident.
When I entered the city of Guangzhou, I saw that the market was bustling, people gathered, chariots and horses galloped, 360 lines of business and trade, and all kinds of goods were bought and sold. Rhino horn, ivory, jadeite, pearls, and turtles are sold, countless, and the treasures of incense and medicine are piled up like a mountain. The street is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, bustling and lively.
What's even more peculiar is that the streets are full of white-skinned blonde and dark-skinned curly haired people, speaking languages they don't understand, and they are also making deals with people.
How can you see the benefits of Guangzhou? A poem praised: "Sumu agarwood is chopped for firewood, and lychee round eyes are planted around the hedge." Ships trade with foreign people, and water connects passengers from other countries. There is no snow in the three winters of floor heating, and there are flowers blooming in the sky and all seasons. The realm of Guangnan is really enviable, and the amber is tortoiseshell steps. ”
Wang Deba led everyone to live in a large inn called "Yueqi Yashe" on Dexuan Street.
This inn occupies a vast area, carved beams and painted buildings, the entrance hall is spacious, there is a couplet hanging on the pillar in front of the door, it is said that "the spring, summer, autumn and winter are one year old and the river flows endlessly, and the east, west, north and south are at home", and there are more than ten pairs of lanterns, which reads "Twenty-eight before the late, and the rooster cries early to see thirty-three".
Wang Deba took the lead, and just arrived at the door, the innkeeper's eyes were sharp, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he stepped forward and said: "Boss Wang, welcome, welcome! I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have always been fine?" Wang Deba also laughed and said: "Boss Hu, TOEFL! TOEFL! Fortune!"
Seeing that these two people are already very familiar, Wang Deba must have been to Guangzhou a lot, and he is still a frequent visitor to this "Yueqi House".
Wang Deba and Boss Nahu are engaged in a series of politeness.
Duan Hanyan was looking at the lantern at the gate, and asked Du Shenfei: "Big brother, it's not too late to vote for twenty-eight, and the rooster is early to see thirty-three, what do you mean?"
Du Shenfei also looked at it and said with a smile: "This must be the missing technique used in the couplet, hiding a certain word in the couplet, and using a certain part of the text in the couplet to imply the missing word, but the key is in this vacant word." ”
Duan Hanyan immediately woke up when he heard this, and said, "Oh, it turned out that it was not too late to stay first, and the rooster crowed early to see the sky." Haha!
Du Shenfei said: "That's right, twenty-eight is twenty-eight nights, and thirty-three is thirty-three days." ”
Duan Hanyan said with a smile: "Exactly! Just like a poor man, he inscribed a couplet for himself, the upper one is 'two, three, four, five', the lower one is, 'six, seven, eighty-nine', and the horizontal batch is 'north and south'." Big brother, tell me, what does this mean?"
Du Shenfei laughed and said: "Haha, since you are a poor person, there is no 'one' in the upper link, and there is no 'ten' in the lower link, which expresses the lack of 'one' and less 'ten', and the homonym is 'lack of food and clothing'." ”
Duan Hanyan laughed and said, "Exactly! Exactly, what about the horizontal batch?"
Du Shenfei said with a smile: "The horizontal batch is, there is only north and south, there is no east and west." ”
Duan Hanyan said with a smile: "It is 'no things, lack of food and clothing', expressing the image, and the idea is really ingenious." ”
The calf listened first, and shouted on the side: "Shopkeeper, my two brothers said that you lack food and clothing here, and you have nothing to eat. Then we live a bird with you, not with you, I haven't eaten a good meal after a day of walking today, I'm hungry. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! I have everything you want to eat." ”
The calf said first: "If you have it, you will live, and if you don't, you will leave the mother." ”
Boss Hu immediately asked Xiao Er to arrange everyone's room. Wang Deba, Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, and Niu Lixian all lived in one room each. That night, I spent the night in this "Moon Habitat House".
Early the next morning, Wang Deba discussed with Du Shenfei and the others.
Wang Deba said: "Three young heroes, on the road all rely on the hard work of the three to reach Guangzhou City safely, I led the people to the city to purchase materials in the past two days. The three young heroes have not been to Guangzhou yet, please go to the free tour to watch the street scene, appreciate the local customs, and come to this inn to live at night. When we have completed the procurement, we will go back to Tanzhou, what do you think of it?"
Duan Hanyan was overjoyed and said, "This is the best!" Big brother, calf, the three of us will go to play for a few days. ”
Du Shenfei was also happy, and asked Wang Debadao: "I don't know where Mr. Wang plans to lead everyone to procure?"
Wang Deba said: "Let's go to Taiping Street, near the river, where there are upper Jiufu and lower Jiufu, and there are garment shops and quilt shops. ”
Du Shenfei asked in surprise: "Taiping Street, isn't there also a Taiping Street in Tanzhou?"
Wang Deba smiled and said, "Du Gongzi is right! This street name is everywhere. ”
Duan Hanyan asked, "Mr. Wang is saying that these things are ready-made to buy, and they don't need to be ordered?"
Wang Deba said: "Yes! There are ready-made undergarments and short brown long shirts, which do not need to be ordered. If it is still ordered, it may not be possible to produce 30,000 taels of silver until next year, which will delay the disaster relief. Although the ready-made clothes do not fit well, for emergency response, being able to withstand the cold is the first priority. Only if you pay attention to the beauty and fit, you will make the clothes. ”
Du Shenfei was overjoyed in his heart and said, "This is very good!" Mr. Wang just goes, and the three of us will play in this city for two days. ”
After breakfast, Wang Deba took the more than 100 strong men to Taiping Street and other places to procure.
Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, and Niu Lixian came down along the rain hat street, and on both sides of the street, the restaurant and the song house were bustling and lively. You buy and I sell, people gather, business is flourishing. Sure enough: the building is crowded everywhere, and the alleys are noisy.
I saw that under the shade of the big banyan tree in the open space on the side of the road, in front of the towering ancestral hall archway, there were people who sang wooden fish plays, some people who commented on books, some who sold beef offal snacks, and some who sold pastries and desserts, and many people gathered around to watch and frolic. There are also groups of three or five, setting up a table, sitting on the side of the road and drinking tea, leisurely and fun.
The three of them turned into Huata Street again, only to see the big trees on the side of the road covering the sky and the sun, covered with a gray wall, in this wall, a number of banyan trees reflect the Buddha Gate, and a line of incense mist rises in the atrium. There is a high tower inside, breaking through the sky, the tower is like a flower pillar stacked into flowers, gorgeous and magnificent, and the eaves are hung with hanging bells. Everyone walked along the gray wall, it turned out to be a big temple, and the big book on the card was "Six Banyan Trees" two golden characters. These two words are written by Dongpo Bachelors. It is said that this temple was built in the Southern Dynasty, formerly known as Jinghui Temple, in the Tang Dynasty, the relics stupa auspicious light emerged, shocked the people of Yangcheng, and believers flocked to worship. Later, Su Dongpo returned from Hainan to the north, passed through Guangzhou, came to the temple to play, should be the temple monk Dao Cong's request for the temple inscription, he saw the six banyan trees in the temple green shade such as cover, intertwined, the momentum is extraordinary, that is, the title "six banyan trees" two words gift. Later, Jinghui Temple was rebuilt, and the monks of Su Dongpo left the ink "Six Banyan Trees" two words, carved a wooden plaque and hung it on the temple gate. Since then, people have called Jinghui Temple the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees.
