Good night's sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he found that it was getting late, and the eldest lady let him sleep in for an unprecedented time, probably because everyone was tired from the long day of driving yesterday.

After washing and washing, he opened the door and went out, only to see that the eldest lady had just left the house, her eyes were still bloodshot, obviously she didn't sleep well last night.

Lin Wanrong knew that she was worried about the chamber of commerce, and sighed inwardly. There was nothing she could do in a hurry, so she said, "Good morning, Miss. Did you sleep well yesterday?"

The eldest lady nodded and said: "It's the first time in these years that I wake up so late. It's all your idea to make people lazy." Although she said reproaches, there was a smile on her face.

After breakfast, everyone went out, aiming at the West Lake. Lin Wanrong walked in front with the eldest lady, and the four virtues, Xiao Feng and Xiao Cui followed far behind.

Walking a few steps leisurely, you can see the sparkling water above the West Lake. appreciate. During the period, officials shuttled back and forth, tourists were like weaving, and the scene was very lively.

Su Causeway starts from the foot of Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at the foot of Qixia Ridge in the north. It has a total length of five or six miles. There are countless willows and green peaches planted on both sides of the causeway. The causeway is connected by six single-hole stone arch bridges, which is the famous Su Causeway. Six bridges.

Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady strolled on the Su Causeway, the sun shone on the lake, emitting a faint golden wave, and the breeze was blowing, refreshing with a hint of coolness, and it was very refreshing.

The eldest lady has something on her mind, and she doesn't seem to be very interested. Lin Wanrong said: "Miss, why is this place called Su Causeway?"

Xiao Yuruo smiled and said, "Don't you know the origin of Su Di? I still think you are the most intelligent person in the world?"

Seeing her frowning, she smiled slightly. It is three points more beautiful than this West Lake. Lin Wanrong smiled and replied: "I am smart about big things, but confused about small things. How can I remember these things so clearly."

The eldest lady smiled and glanced at him. You are the most eloquent, and at the same time explained: "This Su embankment was formed when Mr. Su Xipo, a former poet, was the governor of Hangzhou. He dredged the West Lake and built it with the dredged silt. It has evolved through later generations. In memory of his governance The merits of the West Lake made it named "Su Causeway". Su Causeway Spring Dawn is listed as the first of the Ten Scenes of West Lake, also known as "Six Bridges and Willows", and it is included in the Ten Scenes of Qiantang, which is the most famous scenery in Hangzhou. one."

The eldest lady walked a few steps, looking at the crystal clear lake water. Slowly chant: "The willows are dark, the flowers are bright and spring is just right, and the heavy lake fog disperses the forest birds. Where is the oriole breaking through the smoke, singing past Su Dixiao."

Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss is indeed very knowledgeable, knowledgeable and literary."

The eldest lady smiled sweetly and said: "I don't believe you if you say something nice and obedient for no reason. This poem was written by someone else. I just recited it in passing, but you don't learn poetry. I don't know the source of this poem. .”

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Do you still want to learn poetry or recite poems? I just open my mouth. The rainbow is flying thousands of feet to the west of the lake. It is still the old embankment of Duke Su. It is impossible to say that the vicissitudes of the past are different, and the romantics have remembered the questions of the past. "

The eldest lady covered her lips with a smile and said, "Did you write this poem? I don't believe it anymore. You must have copied it from others. You can't even write a few words, but you still come to recite poems. Who are you going to blame?" letter?"

Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely on his forehead. The eldest lady really saw me clearly. He laughed and said, "Although I don't like to read and write, but reciting poems also pays attention to talent. I am born with this talent. Yes, others can’t learn it even if they want to.”

The eldest miss knew him very well, knowing that this man was bragging again, but it was the relaxed atmosphere that made her feel a little bit reluctant, so she smiled at him and said, "If I believe you, then the sun will hit the west." Out."

After saying a few words, the eldest lady became more and more in a good mood. It was Lin San who made the trouble. The eldest lady was both ashamed and happy, and ran forward with her little feet, as if she had returned to the age of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Although it was early in the morning, the Su Causeway was already crowded with people, people who went to the market, performers, and businessmen gathered together early, making the Su Causeway very lively.

The eldest lady seemed to have regained her childlike temper, but she left Lin San behind and watched as she walked. On this embankment, there are many performance places, such as walking ropes and riding horses, flying money and throwing balls, kicking wood and throwing sand, swallowing knives and spitting fire, jumping in circles and fighting, the people who watched were terrified but could not help but applaud loudly.

The eldest lady said enviously: "These people don't know how to practice such martial arts?"

Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "These are fake moves. If you really want to fight, if you cut it down, everything will be over."

The eldest lady snorted, but before she could speak, she screamed and hid behind Lin San in fright.

Lin Wanrong looked around, but it turned out to be a snake charmer, and he didn't know where it came from, with a giant python wrapped around him, asking people to fumble around for money.

Women are naturally afraid of snakes, and the eldest lady is no exception. Although Lin Wanrong is not afraid of anything when fighting, he keeps a respectful distance from snakes and insects. He took the young lady's hand and hurried a few steps before he let out a long smile and said, "What are these snake charmers doing with such a big one to frighten people? They made some smaller ones, what kind of green bamboo leaves? strong enough."

Although the eldest lady is afraid of snakes, she also knows that what he said are poisonous snakes and insects, so she couldn't help but give him a light glance and said: "You are a bad person. Why don't you let me go quickly?"

"Let go of you, let go of what?" Lin Wanrong asked in bewilderment.

"Let go of my hand." The eldest lady said with shame and anger.

"Oh," Lin Wanrong hurriedly shook off her hand, and said awkwardly, "Misunderstanding, skillful misunderstanding."

The eldest lady snorted and said, "I've never seen such a bad person like you." She blushed a little, but she left him and continued on her way... This time she learned how to behave, and only looked for places suitable for women to stop , what to buy and sell to go to the market, fragrant tea and fine fruits, what is needed for wine, makeup puppets, lotus boats and horses, Yang Sheng and drums, trivial theater equipment, there are countless.

The eldest lady studied business at an early age, and has been estranged from these things for many years. Today, she has the time to relive her childhood dreams, her little face flushed with excitement. Looking around like a playful child, he is so curious and kind to everything.

When Lin Wanrong managed to catch up with her, she saw that the eldest lady was staring at a bunch of red candied haws in a daze. His white teeth clenched his bright red lower lip tightly, as if hesitating.

The girl was greedy, Lin Wanrong laughed secretly, went up to the old man selling candied haws and said, "Boss, how do you sell this candied haws?"

"Two strings of five cents."

"It's too expensive. Will you sell three strings for ten cents?"

The candied haws seller was stunned for a moment, and hastily tore off three sticks and said, "Brother, here are the three bunches of candied haws you asked for, you take them."

Lin Wanrong paid the money, pulled the eldest lady and left. Passed two skewers of candied haws to the eldest lady and said, "I treat you, let's eat."

The eldest lady blushed a little, and said shyly: "I just want to see it. I didn't think about eating it."

These young ladies wanted to save face and suffer, but Lin Wanrong ignored her, took a piece of ice fruit into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and said, "It's really sweet. It tastes good, you should try it."

The eldest lady couldn't resist the temptation, so she took a bite too. I just felt a long-lost fragrance and sweetness overflowing my lips, it was really delicious, and I ate the small skewers without knowing it.

Lin Wanrong looked at her with a mysterious smile and said, "It's delicious."

The eldest lady blushed and snorted, "I want you to take care of it." Her tone was extremely weak.

Seeing the mischievous smile on his face, the eldest lady knew that he had noticed her demeanor just now, she was annoyed in her heart, and suddenly said: "Lin San, you bargained just now, but you are truly unprecedented. "

"Of course." Lin Wanrong smiled. Just about to brag, he suddenly slapped his head, ouch, why did I become a pig today? Oh, my face is so embarrassing, but the geese who chased geese all day long were blinded by geese.

The eldest lady giggled coquettishly, and the more she laughed, the harder she laughed, and she couldn't even stand still with her waist supported. In the past, Lin San was the only one who took advantage of others, but today he was taken advantage of by others, which is really rare.

Just now, he just wanted to take advantage of his tongue, short-circuited his head for a while, and ruined his fame for a lifetime. Lin Wanrong was secretly annoyed, so he could only sneer and say: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm developing my style today, it's rare to be confused, and it's a blessing to suffer."

Hearing this guy say that suffering is a blessing is like hearing him say that I am a good person. It makes people laugh. The eldest lady regained her face and said with a smile: "Let's see if you dare to bully others casually in the future."

After going through this little episode, the eldest lady also let go of her restraint, and when she saw some snacks, the eldest lady took the initiative to buy them and asked Lin San to have a taste. Lin Wanrong never refuses anyone who comes, anyway, if someone treats him, he won't eat for nothing.

Going all the way, in the middle of Su Causeway in front, I saw a hale and hearty old man painting near the lake, and it was almost the end. In that painting, the West Lake is misty, misty and misty, with a simple and natural style of painting, without the slightest artificiality. It is actually a painting of "West Lake Misty Rain".

Lin Wanrong can barely be called half a painter plus a critic, but he can't find any thorns in this painting of mist and rain in the West Lake. Simple Misty Rain, without the slightest off-screen sound, but it is this simplicity and nature that is most effective.

After the old man finished painting, he seemed to be unsatisfied, and wrote seven words on the Misty Rain Picture: "Long long long long long..."

Pfft, Lin Wanrong almost laughed out loud, this old man came to play crossword puzzles, it's really interesting. The eldest lady frowned, and said softly: "These seven characters, could it be a couplet?"

When the old man was painting, there were already several people around him watching. They were all gentlemen and scholars. These scholars are not good at working in the fields, and they are all experts in calligraphy and painting. This "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" is calm and calm, with a hidden meaning of being out of the world. Not only is the brushwork superb, but the artistic conception is already enviable. To have such an artistic conception of brushwork, it must be a famous artist, but I don't know who this old man is.

After writing seven characters, the old man threw the little penny with a smile on his face. He seemed to have known that there were crowds around him, and when he turned around to see so many officials, he was not at all surprised, and said with a smile, "All talented scholars, these seven characters are a couplet. If anyone can get it right In this couplet, the old man gave him this new work, "West Lake Misty Rain Picture."

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked. This "West Lake Misty Rain Picture" is a rare masterpiece in modern times, and it is very valuable. This old man must be a famous contemporary artist, but he has not left his seal yet, so it is not known who this person is. What surprised everyone even more was that the seven "long" characters turned out to be an upper couplet, which made people even more puzzled. There are many talents and beauties in West Lake, but they are all at a loss when they see these seven characters.

The eldest lady pondered for a long time, then sighed softly: "I'm not very talented, so I'm afraid I have nothing to do with this
