Chapter 43 Exploring Spring in the Garden
If it's spring, the weather is good. The people of Hangzhou have the habit of visiting the garden to explore spring: "The fifteenth day of mid-spring is the flower festival, the customs of Zhejiang, in the middle of the spring order, when the flowers are in full bloom, it is the most enjoyable." ”
Everyone goes to the Jade Pot Garden, the Ancient Willow Forest, the Yangfu Cloud Cave, the Qingle and Xiaohu Gardens outside the Qiantang Gate, and the Jiahui outsourced the gardens of the Mountain King Baosheng and Zhang Taiwei to enjoy the strange flowers and trees. The most is Baojia Mountain, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, like a brocade, extremely lovely.
On Baojia Mountain, "all peach blossoms are planted, and there are countless tourists in spring, which is the winning place in the south of the city." ”
Liu Yibai remembered a travelogue he had read earlier, which recorded that this mountain was actually a must-visit scenery in Hangzhou.
Now that the martial arts new star conference is about to be held, heroes and heroes from all walks of life must be vying to go there.
"Forget it, let's go to the 'Learning Spinning Pond Pavilion', the scenery over there is also good, and there should be fewer people. ”
Liu Yibai wanted to ask for the opinions of the two, but he didn't expect Qingqing to say nothing, so he nodded and agreed. Liu Ruyan has always been headed by Liu Yibai, and he will not have any opinions.
"Ordinary market officials, a little like the road is tired, from one square to another, and there are people who pretend to rent saddle horses, but they are only 100 dollars. ”
In the city of Hangzhou, the carriage is waving, and it is very convenient to travel. This Xuefang Pond Pavilion is located ten miles outside the city, calling a carriage to avoid the fatigue of walking, and it is not expensive, and Liu Yibai is not short of this money.
"This master, but you went out of the city to explore spring?"
The coachman was a lean man, and when he saw that Liu Yibai and the three of them were extraordinary, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Exactly, do you know how to go to the Pavilion of the Spinning Pond?"
"Hey, it's not to blow with the master, this little garden in Hangzhou City can take you with your eyes closed, you can put a hundred hearts." However, this pavilion is quite large, and it is easy to get lost. I think you might as well hire an 'idler' to act as a guide, and you can save a lot of trouble. ”
There is a group of citizens in this Hangzhou city who are guides as professionals, called 'idlers'. These people are not proficient in all kinds of arts, and they specialize in accompanying the children of the rich Lang Jun, and serving at banquets.
"It is specially designed to listen to the guests of the prostitute, rush to sing, buy things to offer, and visit the lake restaurant to drink and feast, and beg for family wealth on the grounds of offering incense and sending joy. ”
Liu Yibaixing's eyes wrinkled slightly, he had also heard of this idler in Hangzhou City. He has no skills, and he is designed to make money by catering to the special hobbies of some rich children.
I really hated such people in my heart, Liu Yibai said lightly: "No need, we are not afraid of getting lost." ”
This coachman is in this Hangzhou City, and he has seen a lot of people who have traveled south and north, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings. Knowing that Liu Yibai was worried that the 'idler' was really idle, he explained: "Master, your concerns are small and clear. The 'idler' I recommend to you is my neighbor Fa Xiao, who is different from other idlers. Able to write, know books. Writing, good at music. In your spare time, you can also act as a guide for tourists, so you can rest assured. If you are not satisfied, I will not charge a penny for this round-trip fare. ”
Seeing the coachman's promise, Qing Qingqi said: "There are such interesting idlers, okay." Go and call him, I'm going to see what difference he makes. ”
The coachman was overjoyed and promised again and again. I drove around and turned in front of a few small thatched huts, and when I got out of the car, I shouted at the top of my voice, for fear that the three of them would change their minds: 'Dogs, dogs, there is a business.' Come out, hurry up .....'
After waiting for about half an hour, the coachman pulled a thin young man and hurried towards the carriage.
When the two walked to the car, Liu Yibai and the three couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
This.... In the mouth of this coachman.... Dogs.... It turned out to be Shi Yanyu.
Today, Shi Yanyu wears a coarse cloth robe and holds a roll of sheepskin in his hand. His ordinary appearance can't hide his outstanding temperament, and it's really difficult to associate Goudan'er with Shi Yanyu.
Shi Yanyu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that it was Liu Yibai and the three of them in the car, and then laughed abruptly: "It turned out to be Brother Liu, this time fate is really ingenious." I never thought that heaven would have such an arrangement today. ”
Although the words were said to Liu Yibai, when it came to fate, Shi Yanyu secretly glanced at Liu Ruyan, who was describing Emei.
"Haha, if someone knows that the dignified master is our guide, it won't surprise a lot of people's big teeth. ”
Liu Yibai really couldn't believe that the famous talent in Hangzhou was called an 'idler'.
Brother Liu said seriously, his family was poor since he was a child, and he was more familiar with the major gardens in Hangzhou, so he became an idler to earn some living expenses. Even though I am in high school today, I still dare not forget the days of poverty in the past, so I still act as a guide in my spare time. ”
"Brother Shi is really admirable. He will be able to benefit one party when he becomes an official one day!"
Liu Ruyan also looked at Shi Yanyu at the moment, Shi Yanyu had already left a good impression on her when she was painting the boat before. This humble genius is really impressive, although his appearance is not amazing, but he is a good man.
"It turned out to be your little stone, it scared me, listening to your novel is so evil, I almost thought it was some kind of three-headed and six-armed monster, giggle....."
The laughter like a silver bell made the slightly serious atmosphere of the scene suddenly become relaxed.
"The Qingqing girl is really out of the mud but not stained, and the water is clear and not demonic. This is Hangzhou's 'Dijing', you can take a look. Shi Yanyu was sincerely admired by Qingqing, it was rare to see an innocent woman like her, and smiled and handed the kraft paper in her hand to Qingqing.
The Song people called the map 'Dijing' and 'mileage map'. In Hangzhou's Baita Bridge, there are shops selling maps to tourists: 'There is Baita Bridge on the post road, printing and selling mileage maps of Chaojing. When the scholar goes to Lin'an, he must buy it to read. ’
There is a well-known genius in the Southern Song Dynasty who wrote a wall poem: "The land is sold by the Baita Bridge, and the long pavilion and the short post are very distinct. How to only say Lin'an Road, not a few miles from the Central Plains. ’
Although the poem has the meaning of satirizing the singing and dancing of everyone in the dynasty, they do not want to make progress. But it shows the importance of this land, the map is marked with the road of Lin'an, mileage, inns for resting, etc., which is very convenient.
Shi Yanyu's kraft paper is different from the one sold in the shop under the Baita Bridge, and it seems that he made it himself.
It seems that Shi Yanyu has also put a lot of effort into the 'idler' industry, and he is indeed not an ordinary person who can be a high school champion.
There were constant bumps on the road, but this did not affect the lively conversation of several people, and even Liu Ruyan, who had always talked little, said a few more words.
Liu Ruyan's smile and Shi Yanyu saw it in his eyes, and his mouth was even more gushing, fully exercising the duties of an 'idler'.
Unconsciously, Shi Yanyu talked about eating, which place in Hangzhou is the specialty of the cuisine, which place is delicious, and which place is delicious, all of them are introduced to the three of them one by one.
