Chapter 13 Dongfeng Night Flowers Thousands of Trees (2)
One of the dynasties that had the greatest influence on West Lake in history was the Wu Yue Kingdom, which was extremely prominent in the history of Hangzhou's development. Since Qian Liu established the Wu Yue Kingdom in 907 AD, he regarded Hangzhou as the capital (Xifu). Until 978, Qian Chu presented the country to Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty. Over the past seventy years, he played an indelible role in the development of West Lake and laid the foundation for the reputation of the climate Xizi Lake.
At this time, the banks of Xizi Lake did not have a strong commercial atmosphere like later generations. The so-called natural decorations are used to describe the current scenery. The shore of the lake is shaded by willows, and various types of building boats and boats are moored on the shore, with exquisite carvings. During the Lantern Festival, there are even more tourists on the shore. However, the West Lake has not yet experienced the arrival of Su Shi. The remote grass in the lake occupied a large amount of water. The Su Dike, which is famous for later generations, has not yet been established, which makes Chen Yue feel a little regretful.
Before, Chen Yue wanted to take Xian'er to a quiet place to rest, but he didn't know what the little girl was thinking about in her head. Even the "Yafen Butterfly" was shouted out (Chen Yue's brain automatically translated). The pedestrians around him looked at him sideways, which made him very embarrassed.
He had to take Xian'er directly to find the pleasure boat he had made with Han San. Xian'er lowered her head and followed behind. At this time, he also realized Chen Yue's true meaning. His face was already flushed and he was almost able to catch fire, so he didn't dare to look up at him.
The two of them made an appointment for half an hour and finally found the place they had made before. The pleasure boat had two floors, which was considered luxurious in this era.
Chen Yue reported his name, and a boat next to him took the two of them, and took the floating ladder to take them onto the boat.
A man in his thirties looked like a madam on the boat came out in person, helped the two of them stand firmly, and asked Chen Yue to enter the boat building with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Chen came early today, and it's not in vain that the ladies are missing each other every day. Come on, why don't you ask the ladies to come out and welcome Mr. Chen in?"
Chen Yue looked carefully and found that the middle-aged woman, who was a little rich, had natural charm in her eyes and eyebrows. Although her figure was not as light and tender as the young prostitutes, she was also graceful and charming. It can be said that her charming woman was still in her charming charm when she was young. After thinking about it carefully, she found that there was still some impression in her memory. She seemed to visit her frequently before, so she teased:
"Oh? The girls still remember this young master, but I don't know if Aunt Hu misses me?"
Aunt Hu waved his handkerchief and slapped Chen Yue with a seemingly heavy palm, but it was soft and without any force, which made his chest itchy.
"Tsk, I'm starting to eat the aunt's tofu at such a young age," he said this and said softer again, and he threw a charming look. "But if a handsome little official like Mr. Chen wants to eat it, I will be willing to feed you a full meal."
Xian'er listened to the two of them, and her little thoughts that had just calmed down became red again, and her face turned red again.
Chen Yue laughed and walked into the boat building. He was a casual act and would not take it seriously.
Less than an hour later, the appointments of several young men in the family continued to occur. What surprised Chen Yue was that the eldest brother of the Han family actually brought a few friends to Han Sanyi. You must know that he is the top figure in the Han family's generation. Even though he has some friendship with them on weekdays, he should not sit with them on such a day. He usually has to go to literary clubs to compete with others in poetry to earn a reputation.
However, even though he was confused, Chen Yue did not ask first. He stood up with the other people who arrived early and sat down with courtesy.
As soon as he sat down, Han Hao began to introduce several friends who came with his elder brother. They were all scholars with a little reputation in Hangzhou. Two of them, Chen Yue had some impressions, but they were not familiar with them.
After Han Hao introduced several people, he came to Chen Yue and quietly said, "Today, my eldest brother came here specially for you."
Chen Yueqi said: "For me? Why did you come for me? Could it be that you fell in love with this young master? I am not as good as Long Yang."
Unexpectedly, Han Hao respected his elder brother quite respectfully, "Bah, don't talk nonsense. It's not the mess between you and Qi Mei a few days ago. Now the whole city has spread, making my family feel embarrassed. If you don't come to pick up people, my grandfather will probably come to your house."
Chen Yue slapped his forehead and didn't take this matter seriously recently. He traveled to this era. Although he retained his previous memories, the subject's thinking was still the way of thinking in the future. He did not participate in this marriage, and secondly, he had no feelings for the wife of the Han family. He was usually left behind by nature. It was indeed his mistake to not give others an explanation for so many days.
"Uh...I forgot this..."
Han Hao glared at him. There were eight daughters in the Han family, five of whom died young. The second and third sisters had already married. He forgot about the marriage between the only baby in the family and him!
"I'll fuck you..."
Han Dalang saw the two of them gathered together and muttered, glaring at Han Hao, "Sanlang, what did you say?"
It was obvious that he was very prestigious among the Han family peers. Han Hao immediately shut up and replied respectfully: "No... I didn't say anything, I just talk about the Lantern Market Cultural Conference tonight."
Han Dalang snorted and ignored him, turned his head and said to Chen Yue with a kind look: "Shangwen, but I haven't seen you for a long time, why haven't you come to the house to sit?"
Chen Yue took a sip of the wine on the table to hide his embarrassment, "I have been punished to do my homework at home these days. After healed, I only went out for one go. I would definitely come to disturb him if I had time to do it." I was not familiar with him, so I naturally couldn't talk like I did with Han Hao.
"Oh, it's better to go out less when you first recover from a serious illness," Han Dalang turned his head and glared at Han Hao, "Shangwen was injured just now, why didn't you know how to make him come out? What should you do if you suffer from an old wound in the wind and cold again?" This sentence was obviously a fault for bringing his future brother-in-law to this kind of fireworks and willow alley.
Seeing that the topic was about him again, Han Hao was scolded. He glanced at Chen Yue who was pretending to be a gentleman, and said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that Shangwen is too bored at home, so it's okay to come out to relax. Shangwen told me before that he wanted to apologize to Sister Qi, right?" After that, he quickly squeezed his eyes at Chen Yue.
Chen Yue, who was pretending to be a sage, almost sprayed the wine from his mouth on his face. However, if he denied it at this time, he would have to break up with Han Dalang. He had to bite the bullet and said, "I was neglected by the seventh lady the day before yesterday and was about to come to apologize, but I didn't have time to do it." After that, he glared at Han Hao.
Han Dalang was overjoyed when he heard this, and did not tell whether what he said was true or not. "It just so happened that Qi Jie'er also came out to watch the lanterns today, just waiting to read poetry near West Lake. I will go down to find her after drinking." ============================================================================================================================================================================================
