Water Margin people

When the lights came on, the lights around Penglai Pavilion were lit up, making it the busiest place in the city.

"Brother, this Dengzhou City is different from other places. The most lively places in the city during the day are the Mazu Temple and the Chenghuang Temple, and the most lively place at night is the Penglai Pavilion, just like the Fanlou in Tokyo."

Shi Qian explained.

"And the Mazu Temple?"

Sun Lei was surprised. In his impression, Mazu's beliefs should be in the southeast coast, and Dengzhou is in the north.

"Brother, I have inquired about it. Originally, Dengzhou only worshiped the Dragon King. Later, the sea transportation was smooth. Many people who ran the boat went to the south and found that the people there worshiped Mazu. The Dachuan family went to the south together and invited a statue of Mazu back to build a temple to worship."

Shi Qian said.

"Haha, then these few days must be the busiest time in Mazu Temple."

Sun Lei laughed and said, the city god protects the land, and Mazu manages the sea. During this period of time, the sea roads are closed, and everyone who eats at sea in the city must be asking for Mazu's protection.

"Brother is right. The Mazu Temple is full of people during this period. It is said that there will be a big sacrifice tomorrow, and everyone in the city will go to worship."

Shi Qian nodded.

"That didn't come at a good time!"

Sun Lei laughed and said, the last time it was so lively was Dongyue Taishan Tianqi Shengdi's birthday, so it's good to be able to watch the Mazu ceremony.

"Go to the temple fair together tomorrow?"

Sun Lei looked at Huachan and Li Shishi and asked, women like to go shopping, regardless of their age, this time when encountering this kind of grand ceremony, the temple fair must be indispensable.

"Okay!"

Huachan and Li Shishi nodded repeatedly, how could such a lively temple fair be missed.

"Brother, little brother has an idea."

Li Zhu said with a smile after listening.

"Just say what Mr. Li has."

Sun Lei looked at Li Zhu.

"Brother, since the people in this city believe that Mazu can keep the sea safe, why don't you sell Mazu's face and give the people in this city a way of life?"

Li Zhu pointed to the direction of the Mazu Temple in the city and said with a smile. The lights on the other side of the Mazu Temple were still brightly lit, and many people could be seen busy preparing for sacrifices.

"Sir, do you mean to open the sea route?"

Sun Lei pondered for a while and asked, isn't the purpose of tomorrow's sacrifice just to make the sea road unimpeded as soon as possible?

"Yes, brother, most people in Dengzhou eat at sea. Prolonged prohibition of the sea will lead to grievances. People at the seaside are good at water, and they can become a navy with a little training. If the court takes advantage of this, yes We are at a disadvantage."

"We won't gain anything by banning the sea. It's better to open the sea route, just like Liangshanbo, and collect protection fees according to the ships. It not only attracts the people, but also creates income, and makes no one available to the court. Kill three birds with one stone."

Li Zhu said with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Li's suggestion is good. I still want to give Mazu Empress face! Let Xiaoer and the others take the ship around the sea off Dengzhou tomorrow!"

Sun Lei agreed after a little thought. Li Zhu's idea is really powerful. People who eat at sea are superstitious, so he can take advantage of it.

Everyone laughed and drank to watch the night view of Dengzhou.

"it is good!"

A burst of applause came from Your Excellency Penglai, followed by a burst of cadenced singing. .

"Is this a show?"

Sun Lei leaned on the railing and looked down, only to see a young man singing on stage.

"Who is this person?"

Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian and asked.

"Brother, this is a small prisoner in the city, named Lehe, who is the brother-in-law of Sun Li, the commander of the army and horse. Because he sings well, he is called an iron whistler. He is quite active in the city, and he is of all kinds. pay."

Shi Qian said, Dengzhou Prefecture is not big, and there are only a few of them who are somewhat famous, and he has already inquired clearly.

"This man is interesting."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Le He is a simplified version of Yan Qing, with a quick mind and able to blend in the three schools of thought, he is an excellent candidate for meticulous work.

"This song doesn't sound good!"

Li Shishi pouted and said, she can also sing.

"Haha, each is different."

Sun Lei laughed.

There are many songs in Goulan Wazi, women's songs are mostly charming and enchanting, they are all about sorrow, love and so on, which make men's hearts itchy.

Most of the men's songs are narrative, mainly based on stories, and can also be fascinating.

After Le He sang a song, everyone in the audience applauded continuously, and some even shouted for him to sing a song at the Mazu Festival tomorrow.

Le He smiled and didn't directly refuse. The Mazu Grand Festival is not something he can get on the stage if he wants to. The grand festival has a process, and every process must be approved by the government.

Lehe continued to sing on the stage again, sang three songs in a row before leaving the stage with a smile.

"Is this iron name Zi Lehe?"

Shi Qian looked at Le Hedao with a smile.

"Exactly, who is this brother?"

Le He smiled, cupped his fists and looked at Shi Qian and asked, he didn't know Shi Qian, but he could see that he knew himself from Shi Qian's eyes.

"My brother is upstairs, listening to Dele and his brother singing, so I invite you to go up and have a talk."

Shi Qian pointed at Penglai Pavilion and smiled.

"I don't know which hero it is?"

Le He looked at Shi Qian and asked, pointing to Penglai Pavilion.

"You will know when you go!"

Shi Qian made a gesture of invitation, Le He saw Shi Qian didn't say anything, and didn't ask again, this is Dengzhou Prefecture, and it's around the lively Penglai Pavilion, so he's not afraid of accidents.

Lehe then moved to Penglai Pavilion. He also visited this Penglai Pavilion several times, but he spent money on the lower three floors, and the upper floors were really not affordable.

"Can you tell me which floor it is on!"

After stepping up to the fourth floor, Le He felt suspicious. The person he invited was actually above the third floor, and looking at Shi Qian, he would continue to go up.

"My brother is naturally going to be on the ninth floor!"

Shi Qian chuckled.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. This statement is a bit unusual in Le He's ears. Nine is not an ordinary number. This emphasis on being on the ninth floor can lead to other understandings.

"Brother Lehe!"

Sun Lei looked at Lehe walking up the ninth floor with a smile.

"This brother, please be happy and polite!"

Lehe saw that there were quite a few people above the ninth floor, among them the young Sun Lei sat in the main seat, and bowed his hands to Sun Lei.

"You're welcome, sit down!"

Sun Lei pointed to the empty seat and said to Le He.

"Thank you, this brother asked Le He to come up to help sing?"

Lehe looked at Sun Lei and asked, what he can do is singing.

"Brother Lehe has been singing for a long time, so there's no need for today. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm in Xialiangshan Po Sun Lei!"

Sun Lei looked at Lehe and introduced himself.

"Sun Lei in Liangshanbo!"

Le He's face froze, he never thought that the young man in front of him was the legendary Sun Lei who ruled Liangshanbo.

"Lehe has met Brother Sun Lei!"

Le He quickly got up and saluted Sun Lei again.

"You're welcome, I just listened to Le and Brother singing, it sounds really good, so please come up and talk about it with Le and Brother."

Sun Lei said with a smile.
