Chapter 82 The West Lake is the world

There is West Lake in Hangzhou, which is unparalleled in the world. Most of the scenery in Hangzhou surrounds West Lake. West Lake is also a place for scholars and poets to learn from the field.

Qiantang River is a section at the mouth of Zhejiang. Qiantang tide is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. The sea tide soars, causing the sea to pour into the river, forming huge waves on the river surface, and heading straight to the Qiantang River from the sea. When the tide is huge, the river surface is hundreds of steps wide and the waves are more than a few feet high, and it is magnificent.

Such a scene is the ultimate in the world, and it is a pity that will not be seen in this life!

Hangzhou has arrived, and the tide is still five months away.

The two of them never argued about the time of the tide again, and Xu Jie no longer talked about this topic. Obviously, Xu Jie probably knew it too. How could Yang Ershu not know that the tide was Mid-Autumn Festival in August?

Yang Ershu cares about Yang Sanpang, so he needs such an excuse to fight for his life.

Yang Sanpang cares about Yang Ershu, so he has an unacceptable achievement.

When Xu Jie arrived, he didn't think much about whether Yang Ershu was alive or dead. Instead, he had a longing in his heart, hoping that Yang Ershu would win the world's number one sword in ten years!

In this way, everyone will be happy!

Xu Jie obviously didn't understand the horror of Lu Ziyou, Jiangning! The man in the sixties who was holding a bronze sword, drinking and writing poems, drunk peach blossoms, looked really no terrifying! Even Lu Ziyou danced a sword in front of Xu Jie, and it also showed a kind of beauty and momentum, without the sharpness of a swordsman, and even worse than Yang Ershu's power to attack on the river boat.

Maybe, everyone is really happy!

Xu Jie thought so, Hangzhou was unparalleled in the world! Hangzhou was less official than Jiangning and more vulgar. The word "vulgar" was not a derogatory term, but a kind of life, and it was so prosperous that it was simpler than Jiangning. At this time, Suzhou and Hangzhou were mostly like this, and Jiangning, the capital of Jiangnan Road and the central area of ​​Jiangnan administration, had a kind of official spirit, or authority and majesty.

There is Longjing in West Lake, which was first named at this time. The elegant fragrance that I had to taste was a famous building by the lake, called "Xiandelou", which was built during the Wuyue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods. Some people call it "Wanghu Tower". Because the towers are tall and sit on them, you can see the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

Several people entered. As soon as Xu Jie entered the door, he stood still and saw the two walls on the left and right sides of the building, all full of poetry, some regular script and some flying wildly in cursive script.

This is the first time Xu Jie has seen such a scene. It is rumored that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, many poets wrote articles on the walls of famous scenic spots, but Xu Jie has never seen them before, and even in the Yellow Crane Tower, there is no such thing. Today, when we arrived at West Lake, we opened our eyes.

Most of the poems on the wall are not bad, and the signatures are all named and surnamed. Xu Jie read a few of them briefly and nodded repeatedly.

The hall was full of people. Most of the literati dressed up, but it was still half an afternoon and it was not time for dinner. The Wanghu Tower was full of people, which was a bit beyond Xu Jie's expectations. When Xu Jie arrived here, he also inquired all the way, looking for the so-called elegant place of literati.

The servant who ran the hall had already come to welcome him: "How many are you objective, please come upstairs?"

The servant's question was a bit tentative. Xu Jie could hear it and asked, "What's the point upstairs?"

The servant smiled apologized when he heard this: "Is this young man a foreigner? He doesn't care much about it in normal times, but he's a little bit about it today."

The servant was a little show-off, and Xu Jie nodded and signaled the servant to continue to "show off".

The servant was not going to hide it, but just kept it a secret. He quickly said, "Today, Master Wu will climb the tower to enjoy the spring scenery. Most of the literati who can receive the news in Hangzhou will come here to wait for Master Wu, so today the price downstairs has only increased by several times. The price will be quite high when going upstairs. Will the young master go upstairs?"

The servant's words meant just the meaning of sitting on the ground to raise prices. Xu Jie understood it, but didn't care. Instead, he asked: "I wonder who Master Wu is talking about?"

The servant even raised his head and smiled slightly, and replied, "Master Wu, Wu Boyan, Jiangning County Magistrate, who had been a county magistrate for a year, then resigned from office and stopped working. Don't you know?"

Xu Jie suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Oh, Master Wu, it's so thunderous. It's a coincidence. Let's arrange seats upstairs!"

The servant was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly nodded and bowed to the upper floor to ask for it.

Looking at the West Lake on the third floor, you can see the rippling blue waves, green willows are blooming in spring, there are peaks and towers in the distance, and sand and grass are green nearby. After a while of spring, there is still a little mist covering it. You can vaguely see that there is an island south of West Lake. There is a small lake in the island, which is for the "Three Pools Seal the Moon", and you can only feel relaxed and happy.

Six people sat down, and then Ershou suddenly spoke: "Fatty, if I die, I will have no face to go back to Jiange, so just bury it here."

Ershu said casually, while Sanfat pretended to be casual, and only replied: "Okay!"

Xu Jie laughed and said, "What are you who can't die? Ershu, you have a profound skill and can still live for twenty or thirty years. Once you have enough, you will be buried back to Jianmen Pass and fallen leaves will return to your roots!"

Ershu laughed when he heard this: "If you can live for twenty or thirty years, that is glory, and you will return to your roots!"

The wine and food have come, and although I am not hungry, drinking in the face of beautiful scenery is also enjoyable. There is also the refreshing and joyful life of Longjing.

The seats on the second floor are really not cheap. Six people sit at a table and dozens of taels of silver are placed in the ground. These dozens of taels of silver are placed in a wealthy family in Hangzhou, which is also extremely luxurious. Therefore, there were not many people on the second floor at this time.

Even the servant who served tea and wine felt strange. When he was waiting for the food to be served, he was chatting with another servant.

"Hey, the young man from another place upstairs is afraid of his extraordinary status." The servant always showed off his character.

"There is no shortage of people in Hangzhou who can afford dozens of taels of silver. Why do you think he has an extraordinary status?"

"You don't know this, right? Look at the other people upstairs, who are not here together and sitting in a table together, which is a way to spend money equally. The servants stay outside the door to wait. Look at the young master from another place, and a few servants took up the table alone. It is rare to be so generous." The servant can guess, and his show of character usually seems enthusiastic, so it is very appropriate to do this job.

"If you make sense, you should serve it well. Maybe that young man is in a good mood and rewards a few big money and you will make a profit today."

The two looked at each other. At this time, two dishes were just released in the kitchen. They only needed a tray, but each of them took one, adding hot water from Longjing, hot cloth towels for wiping hands, and rags for wiping the table. They were all ready.

The service was extremely thoughtful, but Xu Jie only regarded it as different from Dajiang County. After being unexpectedly thoughtful, the servant was disappointed and did not give a lot of money.

The evening slowly comes, and the sunset gradually fades away. There is a high tower on the Xizhao Mountain, called Leifeng Pagoda, which was also built during the Wu Yue Kingdom. The sunset is next to the Leifeng Pagoda, which is the scene of "Lei Feng's Evening Shining", which is red in half.

Although the second floor was not full of people at this time, it became lively, and there were scenes of greeting each other everywhere.

The scenery was just right, and the building suddenly became quiet. Everyone stood up and faced the stairs. Xu Jie naturally stood up, but the fat and thin ones couldn't sit still.

Master Wu slowly came up from the stairs. His gray-white literati clothes, his skirt was in the wind, and his sleeves were fluttering, but his eyes were a little confused. He obviously had drunk a lot of wine before coming, and his gray-white bun was a bit messy, not as formal and formal as he was, but was extremely casual and ordinary, and even a little unkempt.
