Chapter 41: Poetry II
The carriage sent Wen Cheng and the others here, and immediately spun around and stopped in the square outside the gate and waited. At the same time, people kept coming to this place by horse-drawn carriage, and then walked to the interior of Nanlin Garden.
There are men and women who come, some want Wencheng and them to walk together in three or two, and some are alone.
Walking into the wall of Nanlin Garden, the scene inside suddenly appeared in Wencheng's eyes. There is also a wall in the wall, only to see some women with towering crowns, dressed as scholars to communicate with people; some have plain hair and green silk, showing the charm of women; some have gold and jade on their heads, and they are shaking three times in one step, and they are about to fly, and a dusty atmosphere is particularly eye-catching. The men are dressed more uniformly, basically they all want to dress up as scholars with crowns like Peng Geluo, and they also have rich sons like Wencheng and Hu Kaibin who are dressed in silk and satin. I think these people, like Wencheng, were invited to participate in the poetry meeting.
The entire Nanlin Garden is located on a small hill, which is very large, encompassing the mountainside and the top of the hill. At first, Wencheng thought that Nanlin Garden was built in the middle of the mountain, but it was a small garden, but now he realized that what he saw just now was only the entrance of Nanlin Garden.
It is said to be a hill, in fact, it is a hill, the road is gentle, not steep, the mountain road is paved with blue bricks and stone slabs, and there are all kinds of flowers and trees planted on both sides, among which there are some precious flowers and trees, ordinary family people, it is almost rare to see. Of course, excluding Wencheng and his party, the three of them are not people who have never seen the world, and some precious flowers and trees have been seen in their own homes.
The mountain breeze in early summer, has no longer been cold, but with a warm wind smoked the meaning of the tourists drunk, pedestrians walk on the mountain road, by the warm wind hammer, suddenly feel warm, fluttering, as if feathering and ascending the immortal.
The three of them followed the flow of people all the way. I walked until I walked to a man-made stream in the mountains, and before I crossed the bridge, Wencheng's footsteps stopped.
It turned out that in the middle of the stream, surrounded by the gurgling water, there was a huge boulder, and there was a gap in the top of the boulder less than a finger wide, and a tree less than three feet long grew from the gap. The roots of the tree completely lose the round shape of a normal tree and become as flat as a gap. The trunk, less than three feet long, was the thickness of a small bowl, but almost two-thirds of the trunk had dried up, and the dry part had long since disappeared, leaving only a curved part of the wood. On the trunk of the tree, which is still alive, clusters of green leaves grow green. The green leaves are waving towards the sun, and the water of the stream is blocked by the boulders, desperately hitting the boulders, breaking into a little flying mist, reflecting a small rainbow that seems to be absent in the sky above the green leaves, and finally floating on the green leaves.
As soon as you see it, you can feel the tenacity of life and the beauty of life.
Peng Geluo saw that Wencheng didn't follow, he had already crossed the bridge and returned to Wencheng with Hu Kaibin, looked at the place where Wencheng's eyes fell, and said, "How is it, isn't it beautiful?"
"It's really beautiful, which famous master of the academy is this?"
Peng Geluo shook his fan, shook his head, and said, "What kind of famous artist can make such a thing? This is how it was originally here, and it was just preserved when it was rebuilt." ”
It turned out to be a natural formation, Wencheng groaned, too, no kind of famous artist can catch up with the magic of nature.
The three of them said goodbye and continued to walk up a staircase.
The road under your feet is not paved with blue bricks, but has the color of pale red rock, and with the exposed rocks next to it, it is not difficult to see that this step is directly carved out of the mountain.
After walking the stairs, there is a bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is quiet, and there is a courtyard. The three of them walked further into the courtyard, which contained a large circular corridor building, about two-thirds of an acre in size. In the middle of the corridor is a rockery pool, and there are also plants and trees planted on the rockery, in this early summer, those plants and trees are lush, and there are gorgeous flowers swaying in the wind, and bursts of floral fragrance come and rush into the nose. Just this picturesque scenery in front of you is enough to make everyone feel that the trip is worthwhile.
It's no wonder that when Hu Fatzi mentioned the poetry meeting in front of Wencheng, he looked fascinated.
The water was clear and clear, and a few small red fish swam past from time to time, and these small fish did not even have a single hard scale on their bodies, and they could still be seen to be somewhat translucent when their fins were stroked.
This is where today's poetry meeting takes place.
The three of Wencheng came neither early nor late, and now there are already a few people in the pavilion. Low tables are arranged in the corridor, and futons are prepared behind each low table. The first few people sat down on the futon, or talked, or drank tea.
Peng Geluo took Wen Cheng and Hu Kaibin, two people who came for the first time, and went straight to find a short one and sat on the ground.
The low table is wide, more than two feet wide and more than seven feet long, and one low table is large enough to sit three people without being crowded. There was a furnace of sandalwood on top of the low table, and the smoke came out of the incense burner, gathering but not dispersing, forming a white straight column. The air column was thick and slowly faded, until the transparency disappeared into the air, and the air was filled with a slight fragrance, which lifted Wencheng's spirits.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Wen Cheng felt a hostile gaze sweeping towards them.
Wencheng is now powerful, with sharp five senses, not to mention the hostile gaze of an ordinary person, even if people who are not too high in martial arts are watching him, he can easily find it.
Wen Cheng looked in the direction that his gaze had swept over, and easily found the source of the hostility.
Just across the pool on their right, a young man wearing a white scarf was staring at them hatefully, to be precise, at Peng Geluo alone. This person is also dressed as a scholar with Peng Geluo, and looking at the peiyu and other accessories on his body, he is obviously from a high-class family.
However, the only bad thing about this person is that his mental state is not good, and the dark circles in his eye sockets are very heavy, although he deliberately whitewashes it, but he can't escape Wencheng's sharp eyesight. This person was hollowed out by the wine, "Although Wencheng is not a doctor, he can easily make this judgment."
Wen Cheng's arm gently reminded Peng Geluo under the short table, and when he turned his head to look over, Wen Cheng gestured in the direction of the dark circles, "Who is that?
Peng Geluo looked at Wen Cheng in his sight, and after listening to Wen Cheng's words, he glanced at Wen Cheng with a strange face, and hesitated and said, "That's also a person from the academy, and he is the opponent of me." Peng Geluo hesitated for a while, and didn't say a word at the end.
Wen Cheng was surprised, and asked in disbelief: "Won't you?
Peng Geluo's little face puffed up, and he was slightly reddened, "How can you say robbery? Yizhu didn't like him in the first place, but he just kept stalking." ”
Wen Cheng listened, glanced at Peng Geluo deeply, and didn't say anything more. However, the name Yizhu was remembered by him, and he was ready to observe what kind of person this woman was.
Men and women in love, not only women are easy to get lost, but men are the same. Some men believe in women very much, and he believes 100% of what women say. What, I'm just friends with him, I don't love him at all, what, I'm innocent, it's his shameless stalker...... Wait a minute.
Once this kind of man meets someone unladylike, he is usually crowned with a great title in the end: spare tire.
I hope this Yizhu didn't use Peng Geluo as a spare tire, otherwise, if she dared to use my friend as a spare tire, there would be no door. Wen Cheng is a friend in Helian City, but there are few people, and he doesn't want to let Peng Geluo fold in the hands of a woman like this.
But if Peng Geluo is really green, how can I remind him? There is no such thing as eating a table of green vegetables here.
The poetry meeting agreed on the time to begin.
Not long after Wen Cheng and the others sat down, people came in from outside the courtyard one after another, each looking for a low table to sit down. There are acquaintances, and they also greet each other and say hello to each other. There are also those who are hostile to each other, blind to each other, and treat each other as transparent people, such as Peng Geluo and the dark circles under their eyes.
However, Wen Cheng didn't know anyone, so he simply sat on the ground, put the long knife on his lap, and rubbed it lightly.
Wencheng didn't wait long, and suddenly a faint bell chime came from the second floor of the courtyard. The melodious sound of bells echoed in the bamboo forest for a while, purifying the irritable mind.
Wen Cheng was curious about a large number of people, and found that the faces of the people present were different, and a few of them were like him, a little dazed and curious. These people are obviously the same as him, they are all first-time visitors.
Some of them had flushed faces, and their eyes were shining as they stared at the round arches of the courtyard, and suddenly became excited. For example, dark circles are like that.
Although Peng Geluo also looked at the arch expectantly, his eyes were clear, and there was only a strong admiration in his expression.
There was a sound of shredded footsteps, and a group of young women emerged from the courtyard arch. The first person was gorgeously dressed, and the two golden steps on her head were about to fly, which set off her gorgeous and dazzling. Seeing that he is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, it is the time when the body grows and the charm begins to bloom. The face is radiant, the self-confidence is extraordinary, and there is a natural human temperament.
As soon as this person appeared, Wen Cheng felt that the eyes of the men present were glued to her.
Peng Geluo didn't wait for Wen Cheng to speak, so he said softly without looking back: "The leader is the little daughter of this Helian City Taishou, the real pearl of the palm, I heard that her mother's family also has the background of the imperial capital. This poetry meeting was convened by her, and it was best not to mess with her. ”
Wen Cheng listened, and there was no reaction at all, his eyes had already swept over the little girl Taishou, and he didn't pay attention to her at all.
Instead, it was another woman who attracted Wencheng's attention, and this woman was more than a head taller than all the women present. Wen Cheng visually estimated that she was at least more than 1.75 meters tall, even if she walked at the back of the line, and she seemed to be desperately hiding herself, but Wen Cheng saw it at a glance.
Wen Cheng straightened his body, raised his head and looked at her carefully, only to see her eyes lowered, her mouth slightly open, as if she was whispering something, and she didn't even glance at the people on both sides along the way. This woman's face is as shiny as jade, her skin is like congealed fat, her body is plump, and her waist is slender. She walked at the end of all the women, like a moment of pearl, shining brightly, comparing everyone who walked in front.
Wen Cheng looked at it carefully for a few breaths and quietly withdrew his gaze.
A group of women walked across the pontoon bridge to the rockery in the middle of the pool, and sat down in turn.
At this time, Wencheng found out that the rockery in the pool was also prepared with a table and a futon.
