Chapter 42
Three days later, twenty miles outside Tai'an Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Tai.

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu, who were riding on horseback, looked up at the towering Mount Tai.The head of the Five Sacred Mountains is well-deserved.

Chang Feng is Taishan who came with Yan Shenggong and Liu Daxia.Fatty Xu also came, and he was going to visit his second uncle Xu Yongan at the Taishanwei resident.

Chang Feng intends to ask Fatty Xu to recommend Xu Yongan.After all, Xu Yongan controls the Eight Thousand Guards Army.Create a strange disaster, maybe he can help.

Chang Feng suddenly discovered that there are countless spacious mansions at the foot of Mount Tai.

He asked Liu Daxia next to him: "Master Liu, where are these houses?"

Liu Daxia replied: "They were all built by the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River. They come to Shandong every three years to participate in offering sacrifices to Confucius."

"Every family of the gentry has produced high-ranking officials, and they are so rich. They wouldn't go to Qufu City to squeeze inns with poor scholars."

"They bought land at the foot of Mount Tai and built houses. Before offering sacrifices to Confucius, they lived at the foot of Mount Tai for two or three months, enjoying themselves and exploring knowledge."

Chang Feng complained in his heart.He believes that the only way to create a strange disaster is to set fire.

However, if the fire is set off, not only the trees on Mount Tai will be unlucky, but the houses at the foot of the mountain will also be burnt down.

If a few great Confucians of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were burned to death, it would be impossible to end.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have access to the sky.These people have studied and taken imperial examinations for generations.Old and old disciples spread all over the court and the public.

One mile away is Yan Shenggong's private residence at the foot of Mount Tai.

Chang Feng and his party plan to live in the Kong family's private house.Climb Mount Tai in two days.

When passing a field, Kong Hongtai, who was sitting on a sliding pole, ordered: "Stop."

This piece of land is for growing wheat, and there is a wooden sign of "Kong Tian" inserted on the edge of the land.An old farmer is driving an ox to pull a plow to plow the field in preparation for sowing after the dew.

Kong Hongtai and Liu Daxia got off the pole.Chang Feng thought that Yan Shenggong wanted to inspect his own fields.

Unexpectedly, Kong Hongtai took off his boots, landed on the ground, and shouted at the old farmer: "I'm not dead! I'll come!"

The old farmer shot back: "Bitch, you are here again!"

Chang Feng turned pale with shock, and asked Liu Daxia: "Master Liu, is that old farmer not afraid of officials and family members? Dare to insult Yan Shenggong?"

Liu Daxia stroked his beard: "He and Yan Shenggong are old acquaintances, and they have forgotten their friendship."

Kong Hongtai got off the ground and helped the old farmer hold the triangular plow.

Kong Hongtai was in the Confucian mansion, he wanted to maintain the majesty of Duke Yansheng, and he couldn't do whatever he wanted.

His favorite thing to do is actually go to the fields to cultivate.

Every time he came back to Mount Tai, he would go to work with that old farmer and have a wild time.

Kong Hongtai helped the plow to plow the field for half an hour, while Chang Feng and others squatted on the ground, watching from a distance.

Half an hour later, Kong Hongtai was tired and sweating profusely. With the support of the old farmer, he went to the field to rest and drink water.

Kong Hongtai didn't drink the Longjing tea offered by the servant, but unceremoniously picked up the old farmer's jug and drank the well water with a "gudong gudong".

After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said with emotion: "It's really a great joy in the world!"

The old farmer scolded: "Damn! Let you work in the fields 360 days a year, let's see if you are still happy!"

Not only was Kong Hongtai not angry, but he smiled and said, "You old man is right."

The old farmer said: "Your Excellency Yan Sheng, you are such a cheap bone."

After these few days of contact, Chang Feng has already understood Kong Hongtai's personality.

This is a good man with aloof temperament when dealing with the powerful, and no airs when dealing with the poor.

Chang Feng also heard that Kong Hongtai often reduced or exempted the tenants' rent.

It is a pity that not every generation of Confucius' descendants in the [-] generations is as kind and generous as Kong Hongtai.

Everyone stayed on the ground with Kong Hongtai for a while.Only then did they set off and arrive at the private residence of the Kong family at the foot of Mount Tai.

This private house is not as luxurious as the Confucian Mansion, it is very simple and elegant.

It was already evening when everyone settled down.Chang Feng and Fatty Xu came to the Taishanwei resident, looking for Xu Yongan.

When Xu Yong'an saw his fat nephew, he couldn't close his mouth with joy: "Fat baby, I haven't seen you for three years, and you've gained dozens of catties of fat again!"

Fatty Xu said with a smile: "Second Uncle, I can carry a tripod now! It's a pity that the capital is so big that there is no room for me to use it. Let the Jin Yiwei be punished."

"No, come to Tai'an to ask for a meal with you."

Xu Yong'an kicked lightly on Fatty Xu's fat buttocks: "It's still the same with your second uncle. This is our own land, can we be short of your food?"

"You are here, just be a soldier for me!"

Turning his head, Xu Yongan looked at Chang Feng again: "Are you Chang Feng who is always mentioned in Fat Boy's letters?"

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "I have seen Commander Xu."

Xu Yong'an smiled and said, "Don't be strangers, just call me Uncle Xu."

Chang Feng looked at Xu Yong'an as a bold man, worthy of Xu Da's empress.

Fatty Xu rubbed his hands: "Second uncle, that, that."

Xu Yongan asked, "Which one?"

Fatty Xu said, "Are you going to buy us a drink tonight?"

Xu Yongan said: "This is natural."

Fatty Xu scrambled forward: "It's boring for three big men to drink together! Do you have to have a woman to accompany you?"

"I heard that Aunt Taishan is very famous!"

Xu Yongan laughed loudly: "You really can figure it out. Let your second uncle lead you out whoring?"

Fatty Xu said: "Second Uncle, don't speak so harshly. We decent people, why don't we check customs and customs every time we go to a place?"

"I've heard that the biggest custom at the foot of Mount Tai is to drink with the company of Mount Tai's aunt!"

Xu Yong'an said: "Come on! Women are not allowed in the barracks. I'll take you two to a good place."

Chang Feng secretly smiled in his heart: There is every kind of nephew, there is such a kind of uncle, it seems that Commander Xu is also a veteran of flowers.

This is also good, with a woman to accompany him, and Commander Xu to drink a few more glasses of wine, I can also ask around about the fire.

Xu Yongan led Chang Feng and Fatty Xu out of the barracks, and rode to an ancient temple called "Shanyuan Temple".This is the place to find Aunt Taishan.

Aunt Taishan has some origins.

Mount Tai is the first of the Five Sacred Mountains.There is an endless stream of dignitaries who come to climb Mount Tai.

Where there are many people, there is demand.In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, the rich and powerful also need women.

Where there are people, there is conflict.Various temples began to have conflicts of interest.In order to let the dignitaries come to stay and donate, they come up with strange tricks.

Some monasteries gradually began to hire chefs from Lu cuisine, butchered sheep and chickens, and provided feasts of meat dishes for pilgrims.

I don't know which nun's nunnery, in order to attract pilgrims, started to make the young bald nun have three thousand worries.

Later, the clothes of these young nuns changed from coarse linen to fine kudzu skirts.

In addition to studying Buddhism on weekdays, they gradually began to study rhythm and [-]-way drumming.

This kind of young nun is called "Taishan aunt".

They are no longer considered nuns, but prostitutes in Buddhist robes.It is equivalent to the uniform COSPLAY of Ming Dynasty.

Among the four major genres of the Ming Dynasty Flower Industry, Taishan Auntie is the cosplay ceiling.

The ancients were really good at playing, no less than today's people.
