Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 4: Monks and nuns hold a meeting

The so-called people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After Xu Zizhen put on a brand-new government uniform, he looked even more majestic and dignified. This group of rough men admired this new colleague very much, and Xu Zizhen soon became acquainted with them.

Prefect Wen treated him very well, knowing that he had no place to live, he specially allocated a wing room in the mansion for him to settle down.

Just as he was tidying up the room, someone called his name outside the door. Xu Zizhen opened the door and saw that it was a policeman he had just met, a young man with a charming smile, named Jin Yuxi.

Jin Yuxi didn't enter the house, and stood at the door with a smirk and said, "Brother Xu, there is a big girl looking for you outside the door." He winked his eyes at this point, "Hey, is it your friend? Brother Xu is really amazing, It’s only a few days since I arrived in Suzhou that I found such a beautiful…”

Xu Zizhen's heart moved, and he quickly interrupted him: "All right, all right, I'll teach you a few tricks later, so that you can harm other girls all over the world." After finishing speaking, Jin Yuxi was not allowed to say anything, and he pulled him out of the door, and he came back not long after. At the gate of the government office, there was a girl standing pretty on the side of the road outside the door, it was Mo Lier.

"Li'er? Why are you back again?" Xu Zizhen walked out quickly, with a serious face, but in fact, he was very happy. He was just thinking about how to find this girl in the future, but now she automatically delivered to her door.

As soon as Mo Lier looked up and saw Xu Zizhen's outfit, his eyes lit up. This uniform seemed to be tailor-made for him, and it completely set off his strong and slender figure. Handsome, the heart of the little girl jumped up unconsciously.

"Li'er thinks Brother Xu doesn't have a place to live yet..."

Jin Yuxi smiled and interjected, "So sister-in-law is going to let Brother Xu live with you?"

Mo Li'er's little face turned red immediately, Xu Zizhen gave her a false kick, and said with a smile: "Stop making trouble here, Li'er is thin-skinned, don't make fun of her."

Jin Yuxi evaded with a giggle, and said to Mo Lier: "Sister-in-law, is this planning to go to the temple fair with brother Xu? Today is the last day."

"Temple fair? What is it?" Xu Zizhen didn't know what this temple fair was, and was a little at a loss.

Jin Yuxi said: "You don't care what he is, anyway, it's the busiest place these few days, you just take your sister-in-law there." As he spoke, he secretly took out an ingot of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Xu Zizhen's hand, and said in a low voice , "Brother Xu, I know you are inconvenient, but this girl is really nice, hurry up."

Xu Zizhen was moved for a while, Xiao Jin is really interesting, and he is clever, he knew his difficulties before he said anything, and he was no longer polite, put away the money and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, brother."

Jin Yuxi smiled and turned back to the door to be on duty. Xu Zizhen turned back to Mo Lier, scratched his head and said, "Xiao Jin said there was some kind of temple fair, right? I have never seen monks and nuns get together for a meeting in my life, can you take me Want to get to know each other?"

Mo Lier was stunned, and burst out laughing: "Brother Xu, the temple fair is a traditional folk event in Suzhou Prefecture. It is divided into spring and autumn twice a year. Spring is for spring and autumn is for chrysanthemum appreciation. It has nothing to do with monks and nuns."

Xu Zizhen blushed, damn it, it's embarrassing again!

……

The location of the temple fair is on Huqiu Mountain in the northwest corner of Suzhou Prefecture. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small mound. There is a Huqiu Pagoda on the top of the mountain. 1 win, Su Shi, the great writer of the Song Dynasty, once said that it is a pity not to visit Tiger Hill in Suzhou!

When he first arrived at Huqiu, Xu Zizhen was stunned by the excitement in front of him. Good guy, there are so many people!He hadn't seen too many people on the road since he got here, and he hadn't even seen a single ghost when he just woke up. So they all came to Huqiu?

There are many stalls in the flat place under Huqiu Mountain, all of which are brought by the local people. There are handicrafts, silk products, and many Suzhou folk snacks, such as sugar porridge, red bean balls, and crabapple cakes. , Plum Blossom Cake, etc., there are so many in number that Xu Zizhen's eyes are a little dizzy.

It's almost noon now, Xu Zizhen, who has been hungry for more than ten hours, can't hold back, he dragged Mo Li'er from one end of the stall to the other. He always likes to eat sweets, but now it's more like a mouse falling out of an oil tank It looks like it's in the mouth, and it doesn't take long to eat it until the mouth is colorful, and it's just like bean paste and sesame candy.

Mo Lier always followed Xu Zizhen's side with a red face, and could only pretend that he couldn't see the pointers from others. There was no way, Xu Zizhen was too good to eat, and almost all the dozens of stalls along the way were patronized by him , but she didn't feel ashamed, on the contrary, she felt sweet in her heart. When she turned her face and found the abnormality on Xu Zizhen's face, she couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Xu Zizhen's mouth.

Xu Zizhen felt sweet in his heart, and was just about to take the opportunity to grab her little hand, but was suddenly bumped from behind. He was not on guard, and almost jumped onto Mo Lier, but even so, he accidentally stepped on Mo Lier. My son's little golden lotus caused the little girl's face to turn pale from the pain.

He stood firm and looked back, only to see behind him a few young men dressed as scholars. If he bumped into someone, he would just say sorry, but those scholars didn't take it seriously, as if nothing happened. Walking past Xu Zizhen as if it happened, one of the fat men glanced at him disdainfully.

Xu Zizhen was not happy immediately, he was not the one to swallow his losses, not to mention that Li'er was trampled and hurt, so his face turned black and he wanted to go up and teach those scholars a lesson.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mo Lier quickly grabbed his skirt and said softly, "Brother Xu, forget it, there are so many people here, it is inevitable that we will bump into each other."

Xu Zizhen had no choice but to hold back his anger, and glared at the scholars bitterly. To be honest, he didn't want to beat up people in front of Mo Lier, which would damage his image, but the fat man's eyes were too irritating, and he was obviously condescending. Stance.

Knowing that he was still angry, Mo Lier hurriedly pulled him away: "Brother Xu, today is the last day of the temple fair. There is a chrysanthemum fair next to the Stone of Thousand People, so don't miss it."

Thousand Stones?I have only heard of Thousand People Beheading, Master Xiangcang, who else...

There is a small pond on Huqiu Mountain, called Jianchi, and not far from Jianchi is the Thousand People Stone. According to legend, after the tomb was repaired, King Helu of Wu killed a thousand craftsmen in this place to prevent leakage of secrets. So I left such a name, the chrysanthemum meeting is held here every autumn. Firstly, the place is spacious, and secondly, it has become a tradition in Suzhou to use chrysanthemums to pay homage to those dead craftsmen.

When Xu Zizhen came to the site of the chrysanthemum meeting, he felt dizzy for a while. There were chrysanthemums everywhere, red, yellow, purple, and green. The petals were also tongue-shaped, wide, claw-shaped, and linear. Xu Zizhen was stunned. endlessly.

Mo Lier smiled lightly: "Brother Xu, what do you think of this flower show?"

Xu Zizhen praised sincerely: "Except for going back to Dali, I have never seen so many flowers all at once."

Two years ago, several of their college classmates made an appointment to go to Yunnan together. They once went to Dali, and just in time for the camellia exhibition held at the former site of Dali Muwang Mansion, the garden was full of camellias at that time. stunned.

Suddenly a voice came from behind: "Huh? Has this brother been to Dali?"

Xu Zizhen looked back, but saw a scholar of his age, handsome, elegant and polite, followed by a boy who looked a few years younger, also dressed as a scholar, his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the previous scholar, a pair of bright and clear eyes The big eyes looked at himself curiously, looking at the strange appearance of an elf, which was really pleasing.

"I've been there, maybe two years ago." Xu Zizhen didn't know that sour tone, so he replied carelessly, "I've been to Erhai Lake, Butterfly Spring, and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple. That's a good place too."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the two scholars. They were not tall, and their skin was not fair, with a flaxen color.

Xu Zizhen's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "You two are from Dali, right?"

The older scholar made a bow: "Brother has good eyesight, Xiaosheng Duan Chen, this is my younger brother Duan Yan."

Xu Zizhen hurriedly replied: "I... I am Xu Zizhen." At this point, he was stuck, and he really didn't know how to communicate with scholars. The only reason was that he didn't learn classical Chinese well when he was studying, and he couldn't get angry when he wanted to say a few words.

The little scholar Duan Yan also saluted with a smile, and suddenly said to Mo Lier who was silent at the side: "This sister is so beautiful, just like the person in the painting."

Mo Lier blushed a little, and blessed her as a gift, and hid behind Xu Zizhen shyly. Xu Zizhen was amused in his heart, and he didn't mind Duan Yan's sweet mouth. He was just a child anyway, so he might be his rival in love ?

Duan Yan rolled her eyes, and suddenly jumped to Mo Lier's side, giggling and said: "Sister, my brother and I are new to Suzhou, can I trouble my sister to show us around?"

This kid is a bit shameless!Xu Zizhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard an unscrupulous laughter from beside him: "In the face of beauty, why don't the three of us come together to make a couplet into a poem and have fun together, I wonder what the two young brothers think?"

Xu Zizhen turned his head and looked, hey, it's really a narrow road to Yuanjia, and we met these three boys again.
