Fanwai--Scenery(1/2)

The empire has countless scenic spots from south to north. Although there are countless disputes, the top three scenic spots have always been unquestionable.

These three scenic spots are the peony in Jianle City, the jade flowers in Yangzhou City, and the autumn osmanthus in Hangzhou.

The arrangement of two or three does not reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the beautiful scenery, but the order of the beautiful scenery.

In March, the peonies in Jianle City are rich and prosperous. Not only Jianle City, but also the entire capital is full of peonies. Even the horns of the fields are full of peonies, blooming in the wind, delicate, bold, and the only ones, even the crowds, all kinds, and everything. There are scenery everywhere and beauty.

The peony is still in full bloom and the peony is already blooming. This free display of the flower-like appearance will last until May.

However, those who are particular about the rich and leisurely viewing will not enjoy May. Peony will not be left in the air, peony will bloom, and the flower flowers will be shining together, and the viewing will begin to set off in groups and rush to Yangzhou City.

In and outside Yangzhou, the continuous jade flowers are blooming everywhere, and they are about to bloom.

The beautiful scenery of the Qionghua in Yangzhou City is a different charm compared to the flower appearance of the Flower King in Jianle City.

The most beautiful part of the Qionghua in Yangzhou is the two sides of the moat outside the old city of Yangzhou.

The moat is clear and wide, and both sides are made of huge bluestone, with moss all over the bluestone. The calamus, which is regarded as a rare object, grows freely along the gaps of bluestones.

The old branches are as big as a bucket of flowers, the old branches are thick, the new branches are tender, and the old branches are supported by huge flower balls and carry the sunshine. The tender new branches cannot support the flower balls like a bucket of flowers, and droop down.

When rafting in the river, the river water is clear, and the continuous jade flowers are like countless fairies, standing quietly or moving with the wind. The beauty of the scenery is like a dream.

When appreciating the jade flowers, it is also important to note that the sky is about to be bright or not, and in the evening or under the moonlight, a small boat is known to you, which is like a dream.

In Yangzhou City, every household must have one or two pots, and many, ten or eight pots, and dozens of pots of jade flowers that can be used to show off must be placed in the most conspicuous place outside the gate to demonstrate their own heritage and good family management.

In addition to the beautiful scenery of Qionghua, Yangzhou also has the beauty of food.

Mr. Pan Qi, the youngest son of Prime Minister Pan, who is famous for evaluating food, once said: If the food in the world is only one stone, Yangzhou will have seven dou.

It can be seen that Yangzhou’s delicious food is so prosperous.

Yangzhou food is not just a luxurious restaurant with high-end Huanmen, but also a small shop and shop scattered all over the streets and alleys, or even a snack pick.

Yangzhou people who are used to eating delicious food are all clever and pay attention to the word "taste" when eating.

There is an old store that has been around for decades. The young shopkeeper who has not learned how to learn how to get married. In just a few days, he went from crowded with people to a distant place.

There was once a woman who was bullied by her husband's family because she gave birth to three daughters and was very angry. She borrowed a roof and set up a stall to sell egg-filled biscuits. It was extremely delicious. In just a few days, she became famous. Before the stall was set up, there were people waiting in line.

In mid-July, the reluctant tourists began to set off and rushed to Hangzhou.

There are two major events in Hangzhou in early autumn. One is the tide viewing, and the other is the lively events by the West Lake, especially the crab banquets of artists along the coast of the Long Dike.

………………………………

Nearly half of the three autumns, the next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The atmosphere of festiveness is already full of both the inside and outside of Hangzhou City.

Early in the morning, outside Beishuimen, there were more than a dozen simple, simple, but very sturdy big ships squeezed into the busy dock.

The boss on the boat looked smart and powerful. He shouted, bowed and laughed, and scolded loudly. Soon, he commanded more than a dozen large ships and squeezed into the almost airtight pier and broke down to the dock.

Twenty or thirty strong and strong men got off the boat first, guarding the two women and two men who came down from a boat in the middle.

Two women and two men can tell at a glance that they are brothers and sisters of the family.

The eldest sister in the middle, in her early twenties, with a gentle expression and dignified manner. She was bent down slightly, holding her six or seven-year-old brother hard and saying something to him.

The girl standing next to the elder sister was twelve or thirteen years old, with sparse eyebrows and lively expressions. She was pointing and talking to the brother next to her.

My brother is very tall, probably because he is running around, a little thin, with straight eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes are very bright. He turns the folding fan in his hand, and while listening to his sister's words, he carefully looks at the busyness on the dock.

Ships of all sizes, merchants coming and going, carrying goods, trotting and shouting at the evasive carriers.

These four people are two girls and two sons in the current saint: the eldest daughter Gu Pei, the eldest son Gu Yan, the second daughter Gu Lin, and the youngest son Gu Zan.

The four siblings were ordered to go out for a trip. Half a year ago, after the beautiful scenery of peony and peony, they quietly set off from Jianle City, walked south along the canal, and walked all the way, saw the Qionghua in Yangzhou City, ate all the delicious food in Yangzhou City, went downstream, and rushed to Hangzhou City to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"I'll just take a look!" The youngest younger brother Gu Zan suddenly broke free from the elder sister Gu Pei's hand and was about to run away. Gu Yan, who was turning the folding fan, stepped forward and grabbed his younger brother back.

"I'll just take a look! One glance!" Brother Gu Zan's feet were almost off the ground when he was lifted. He still stretched his head forward, swung his arms forward, kicked his legs forward, and yelled.

"How long will it take to go here to West Lake?" Gu Yan grabbed his younger brother, but did not let go, but turned around and asked the middle-aged man dressed in a dressed in charge next to him.

"Around the outside of the city, go a little further, and you can get one and a half to two hours. If you pass through the city, it will take two hours at the fastest time." The manager bowed and replied with a smile.

"I heard it, either, I will accompany you to see it, then we can't go into the city anymore. We will rush to West Lake. Or, we have to go into the city now. Tell me, do you think, or not?" Gu Yan knocked his brother's head with the folding fan in his other hand.

"Then forget it and go to the city." The younger brother, who was struggling desperately, turned around immediately.

The eldest sister Gu Pei next to her smiled. Gu Lin was only twelve years old. She stood beside her sister and looked at her younger brother who turned around and went up the steps, giggling constantly.

Twenty or thirty strong and strong followers around the four, and more than a dozen middle-aged and young men dressed in charge followed each other and walked towards the pier steps.

The first few people had just stepped on the steps. An old man in his 50s and 60s, carrying the front of the long gown, rushed down from the steps, rushed straight to Gu Yan and others, and greeted each other one by one.

Gu Yan signaled the old man to go up first.

The group went up to the top of the pier steps, and Gu Yan stood at the entrance of the city gate and looked down at the entire pier.

"Oh, this wharf is all because I have a short-sighted understanding!" The old man was the current commander of the Maritime Ware Office, formerly the Cao Office of Jiangnan Road, and the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture. He looked at the wharf and was once again very upset.

As early as seven years ago, Pan Dingshan was transferred to the General Department of the Maritime Transportation Department, with nine branches of the Maritime Transportation Department under his jurisdiction, which controlled all overseas goods from the Empire.

In the past twenty years of Chengping, the scale of the empire's shipping has been astonishingly large. Pan Dingshan, the chief commander of the Maritime Department, has a lot of weight and is nicknamed the Minister of Finance by the court.

At this moment, the golden wealth minister Pan Dingshan looked at the dock, and once again, he was very upset.

"I have seen you five times, and you have to say it again." Gu Lin has always been lively and active, and raised her hand to turn back and forth at Pan Dingshan.

"Mr. Wang is like you. Every time I see my father, I will sigh: I have too short-sighted knowledge." Gu Lang said with a smile.

"When the old man saw the Hangnan Pier and the Nantong Pier, he knew that the shortness of the place was really short.

"As for Mr. Wang, he is much better than the old master. He is just a little short-skinned. Besides, he can change it there, he has changed it, but you see, this dock can no longer move." Pan Dingshan sighed repeatedly.

"This place only connects to the inland river, which is enough. This is what Uncle Fourth said." Gu Lang smiled.

"Prince..." Pan Dingshan laughed dryly, "When the boss doesn't like him, he must say: The scenery of Beishuimen Pier is good." Pan Dingshan lowered his voice, lowering his eyebrows and eyes.

Gu Lang laughed and coughed quickly, "The scenery is good. Let's go into the city."

Pan Dingshan followed Gu Lang, walking and introducing himself. Gu Zan pulled his second sister Gu Lin, and stood on tiptoe from time to time, looking at the dazzling array of objects placed in the shops on both sides, without any flaws.

Gu Pei wanted to watch the two small ones again, and wanted to see the lively bustle on both sides of the street. She didn't know what to do.

"This place is much more lively than Jianle City." Gu Lang was also dazzled and couldn't help but sigh.

"The prosperity of Fuzhou in the future is probably no less than that of Hangzhou." Pan Dingshan was both moved and proud, "That's right, the uncle is going south from here, right?" Pan Dingshan glanced around and did not dare to ask.

"Well, look at the sea. This is what the fourth uncle and fourth aunt mean. Dad thinks it is very good." Gu Lang said calmly.

"That's the boss?" Pan Dingshan was stunned and then blurted out, lit his fingers forward, staring at Gu Lang.

"Well, in the manor beside West Lake. Otherwise, why are we siblings so anxious to rush to West Lake?" Gu Lang said with a smile.

"Hey! It's time for the uncle to say it!" Pan Dingshan's face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lang looked at Pan Dingshan leisurely.

"Last month, I just had a money lawsuit with Mr. Ma." Pan Dingshan suppressed his voice.

"You won?" Gu Lang looked at Pan Dingshan clearly.

Pan Dingshan smiled dryly.

If he has a lot of money with Dachang, he can win six or seven times in ten times, and if he has a big win with Dark Horse, he will win.

"That is, I'm just being relieved." Gu Lang smiled.

The group walked for a while, took a car for a while, and sat in the car, but couldn't bear to put down the curtain. When they arrived at the edge of the West Lake, it was already around noon.

There were crowds of people around West Lake. Because the road was very wide, the car could still run. The group was tired and hungry and could not watch, so they could run quickly.

After running half of West Lake, the car turned into a slightly narrow boulevard. At the end of the boulevard, there was a large manor.

The car had a shot from the gate of the manor. He sat on the stone table and bench at the door and played the leaf cards, and surrounded the old man who was watching the fun all over the place. His face was full of white hair when Dong Chao was sitting outside the manor. Seeing the car, he snapped the sign in his hand on the stone table, pointed at the car and shouted, "Hurry up, come here!"

"I want to cheat again! Ah, is it really here?"

"Hey, Old Dong didn't cheat this time, he's really here!"

"It's a coincidence that I didn't miss the meal!"

"Hurry, hurry up, tell me, it's here!" Meng Yanqing patted Wei Fu.

Wei Fu took out a small whistle, blew a few times, and a string of cheerful birds flew out.

A bunch of big cars came to a dozen steps away from the manor gate and slowed down.

From Gu Pei to the youngest Gu Zan, the four of them stared at the group of white-haired old men who were rushing out of the manor, with colorful notes on their faces.

Pan Dingshan laughed, "Old Meng, you don't feel embarrassed if you play cards with your skills! Look at you! The most notes on your face!"

"Oh my face! That's me who let them go!" Meng Yanqing hurriedly raised his hand and pulled the note on his face.

"Hello Uncle Meng, everyone."

Gu Pei and Gu Lang hurriedly bowed to the salute.

"I dare not behave, I dare not behave! My elder brother gave birth to such a good child!"
