"[A canal of blue waves leads to the sea, carrying treasures from thousands of miles away; countless merchants are bustling, rolling in with endless energy.]"
Historically, places adjacent to canals were rarely barren and lonely.
Unless there is a more active trade route instead.
Obviously, the river leading to Luo'an Mansion is still very prosperous on both sides.
Shengyuan listened to the lively cries on both sides of the wide street, watched the noisy fireworks on the bustling streets, felt the peaceful atmosphere lingering among the various buildings and shops on the streets, and suddenly felt the prosperity outside Kyoto.
Of course, this is just the prosperity of this place.
"It seems there's not much difference between here and Kyoto." Walking in the street market, Anyu looked east and west. Sometimes he pushed his way through the crowds, then walked out against the crowds. Until he felt a little tired, he chose a teahouse. , sitting in the private room and sighing with friends.
"It's not bad, after all, there are not so many businessmen coming and going in Kyoto." Lu Sheng looked out the window at the crowded market indifferently.
"When we pass the mountain forest in front of us and take a closer look, the local customs and customs in front of us will probably be a lot different." Sheng Yuan was not in a hurry to see more scenery that was completely different from Kyoto, but felt that it was lively The fireworks are so fun.
Walk slowly, look slowly, slow down all the beats, and you may discover more unique scenery.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of study tour.
Only by seeing the unseen and knowing the unknown can we constantly surpass ourselves, change ourselves, and improve ourselves.
"..." Listening to Sheng Yuan's insights, Anyu felt the scene in front of him begin to spin.
It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he wants to punch the wall.
Although he is a scholar, he can't stand this kind of sour and fake jealousy.
"This is the pattern!" Sheng Yuan was not angry after hearing his complaint. She patted him on the shoulder and sighed with emotion.
"Okay! Okay! I admit I'm vulgar!" Anyu raised his hand without sincerity, "So, can we ask the waiter to come over and introduce the special snacks here?"
"Okay!" "Okay!"
Sheng Yuan and Lu Sheng said in unison.
…
"Let's go! This is the gathering place of our literary society, and is it something you, a greedy man like you, can approach?!"
As soon as more than ten kinds of boat spots arrived, I heard a commotion outside.
Sheng Yuan and the other three looked at the food on the table, then looked up at the door, feeling hesitant.
You can’t live up to the delicious food, and how can you not miss the excitement? !
The three of them nodded, each of them held a plate of snacks, walked quickly to the door, leaned against the door frame and looked out.
The waiter who was just about to introduce the local special snacks with excellent eloquence said: "???"
…
As soon as Sheng Yuan stood still and mixed up three plates of snacks with two friends, she saw more than a dozen people dressed as boys chasing a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man out.
Those boys looked very ordinary in their clothes, but Sheng Yuan didn't look at them too much. Her attention was on the husband who was driven away.
This man, who looked about the same age as her, was elegant and dressed like a student.
His powdered face has the appearance of a peach and plum; his eyes are long and narrow, and his gaze is clear; his body is slender and his temperament is majestic; the corners of his lips are upturned, neither angry nor arrogant.
With such a good appearance, he looks very promising from the looks of him, but I don't know why he was treated so rudely.
Sheng Yuan and the three people who disagreed shook their heads together and looked curiously while eating.
The waiter who didn't leave saw his glasses widening.
He just thought that these three noble people who seemed to be able to cause trouble would fight against each other!
In the end, he just clicked his tongue twice? !
With their calm attitude, he wondered whether they were lamenting what happened to the man outside, or lamenting that the snacks were delicious.
"Here, here, this is your reward." Chengdong and Xiaoyao stared at the waiter for a long time, and found that this man was unconsciously watching the excitement of their husband/young lady. After enduring it again and again, they simply Send the other person away.
"Hey! You haven't left yet?" Sheng Yuan turned around after hearing the sound and saw the waiter taking the reward from Cheng Dong. He blinked in surprise, "That's great, come over and explain it to us!"
She waved to the trembling waiter: "Who is this gentleman? What's going on with that literary club that someone called just now?"
"Huh?! Yes! Yes! Yes! You must know! Hurry up and explain in detail. If you explain it well, I will give you a reward!" Anyu was also confused. When he heard Sheng Yuanyan's words, he immediately raised his hand Hands approve.
Even Lu Sheng, who talked less and less the longer he spoke, nodded and said yes.
"They are all students studying. Why did the literary club they mentioned exclude this person?"
Probably because they had read too many stories and discussed them too much, none of the three Sheng Yuan thought that the weaker party must be pitiful.
According to the experience gained from the story book, there is something hateful about this poor man. To study the effect, we need to look at the antecedents. Therefore, although the three of them like to judge people by their appearance, they are not willing to draw conclusions easily.
"To tell you my dear fellows, this matter... is really a bit complicated." When the waiter heard about the reward, he immediately forgot about the pressure from Chengdong and said with a smile, "But who asked me to be the waiter in our elegant building? , I really know the reason!"
He put on a complacency like "You may not be able to find out if you ask others", which made Sheng Yuan and the other three hurriedly urge him.
"The evicted scholar's surname is Shen, with the double character "zhou". He is a local here, and he was born into a family of a minor official."
"Born into a small official's family?" Sheng Yuan and his friend looked at each other, each wondering.
This student has a charming and suave appearance, but his temperament does not look like he was raised in a petty official's family!
"I don't know the specific details." The waiter scratched his head when he heard their questions and said with a smile, "I just heard that this student Shen once had an affair with the granddaughter of the governor of the province. There was an engagement, but the engagement was later broken off.”
"It seems like it has a story!" Sheng Yuan nodded and asked the waiter to continue.
“There have been a lot of rumors about this student’s origins for a while.
It is said that he was originally a child of an aristocratic family. He was expelled from the family along with his mother, so he came to us and married into the family of an ordinary petty official.
It is also said that the situations of the two sisters in the same family are very different. The elder sister married a petty official and had a mediocre life, while the younger sister married a student and became a rich and wealthy wife. Coincidentally, when the two sisters returned home, they happened to give birth at the same time, and the elder sister took the opportunity to switch. baby. And the student Shen we are talking about happens to be the fake yameni who occupied the magpie's nest in the legend. Later, the senior official and his wife discovered the truth and got him back!
There are also rumors that this student originally came from an ordinary family, but his father was incompetent, so the family was kicked out of Kyoto to make a living in our small town..."
Sheng Yuan couldn't help but be speechless as she listened to what the waiter said.
Regardless of whether these rumors are the imagination of the local people themselves, or they are spread deliberately by someone, these confusing speculations are simply more exciting than the words themselves!
Sure enough, imagination can connect the former and the latter across time and space!
