Chapter 36 West Lake
The years are like sand, passing away quietly.

Have you ever recalled the past youth, ignorance and ignorance, the laughter and laughter in the streets and alleys, have long been buried in the tomb of time, and can no longer be found.

Now it seems that it can only be savored carefully in the dead of night, the ups and downs, all kinds of tastes, before the eyebrows are lowered, and the heart is on the heart again.

Today was the time for a drink with Liu Shan, but for some reason, Liu Shan didn't show up until noon, which made Qiao Chen'an a little puzzled, don't those people plan to invite him again?

This would save him from worrying too much.

In the past few days, Mr. Huangfuxuan fell ill, and the school was not in session. The little guy finally took the opportunity to relax for a few days, and immediately led the Ax Gang's younger brothers to start the great cause of expanding the gang, and it is said that it has been annexed recently. After killing several gangs in the city, his subordinates added a large number of gang members.

Qiao Chen'an didn't bother to care about these trivial matters, and let him mess around. Although the little guy is more playful, he can still distinguish the priorities.

It wasn't until dusk that the sky was lit with fiery clouds, and the sea of ​​clouds was surging like waves, and Liu Shan came belatedly, and immediately said: "Brother Qiao, let's go now!"

With a smile on his face, people who don't know the inside story may think that the two are close friends for many years.

"Leaving now? I think it's getting late..." Qiao Chenan raised his head and looked at the looming moon, and said.

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Liu Shan's face, and he said, "Brother Qiao, don't worry, you will find out when you come with me! Brother Qiao will definitely not be disappointed!"

Qiao Chenan nodded and said, "Brother Liu, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go."

Back indoors, he said to Huangfuxuan who was still lying on the bed: "I'll go out for a while, you just stay at home! Don't run around!"

Huangfuxuan had heard the conversation between the two a long time ago, glanced at Liu Shan in the courtyard, and then said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, is there something good tonight, I want to go with you!"

"It's just a gathering among scholars, it's nothing more than reciting poems and composing lyrics, dancing and writing, what are you doing to make fun of it!" Qiao Chenan shook his head and said.

"I want to go and see it! It's so boring to stay at home alone!" Huangfuxuan pleaded, tugging at his sleeves, with a pair of charming eyes shining with anticipation.

"No, all my classmates are going today, what would it look like if I took you with me!"

"Don't worry, I will never trouble you! Look..."

……

After a while, Qiao Chen'an came out, thinking about what he saw earlier, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for no reason, and he said to Liu Shan, "Let's go now!"

On the way, I realized that the destination of this trip was actually the West Lake. Qiao Chenan couldn't help thinking of the praises of countless literati and poets for the West Lake in the past and present. He expressed his love for it with the most sincere pen and ink without hesitation. beauty of.

It's just that since he came to Hangzhou, he was either busy with cultivation, studying in the academy, or disturbed by other trivial matters, so he never had the chance to see the beauty.

Although it was night and the twilight was getting darker, Qiao Chen'an's anticipation grew more and more, and an impromptu spring trip to the lake came up out of thin air. No matter what happened tonight, this alone was enough.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the bank of the West Lake. Before they got close, they felt a unique atmosphere of prosperity. Willows spit out tender green sprouts. Ordinary people may not be able to see them, but how could this long dark night deceive him? s eyes?

There are merchants and hawkers everywhere on the river bank, and the stalls are row upon row, but they are not crowded, messy, mixed with people's voices from far and near, bright and dark lights and shadows, and there is a peaceful atmosphere. "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", although it is a busy city, it can still be called "one scene in three steps, one painting in five steps".

He suddenly heard someone selling glutinous rice balls, subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find that it was a middle-aged man in his forties, but he was not the figure he wanted to see.

I smiled wryly in my heart, although the world is big, how can there be such a coincidence, if I want to meet again, I really don't know when it will be.

Looking at the lake, the scenery is even more astonishing, not to mention that under the silver moon, the entire West Lake is shining with silver light like a mirror, sparkling, dreamlike, just like the Milky Way in the sky.The tender willows and new branches neatly dotted on the bank alone, and the pink peach blossoms are unique and make people linger.

On the shore of the lake, there are tens of hundreds of flower boats, big and small, like warm birds playing in the water. All of the boats are lit with lanterns, with different colors, red and green. , looking from a distance, it looks like a hundred flowers blooming, and there are bursts of melodious and pleasant music, which makes people intoxicated.

It is really brightly lit and the sky is never dark. It is a great shock to see such a scene in ancient times, as if traveling through time and space and witnessing the glory after a thousand years.

This is just the case in Hangzhou, it is hard to imagine how prosperous Lin'an, the capital of Great Xia, will be.

When he got to the edge of the West Lake, Qiao Chen'an realized that the meeting place this time was actually on a painting boat. If we put it more bluntly, it was almost the same as being arranged in a brothel.

When can scholars blatantly visit brothels? !
Qiao Chenan was full of doubts, followed Liu Shan onto the boat, and as soon as he arrived at the bow, he saw students of the same class as him waiting there, but when he looked carefully, he found that most of them were led by Zhang Mingcheng. The rest of the Yuezhou scholars were also "non-party affiliation", and they suddenly understood in their hearts that it seemed that they only invited themselves this time, and they were probably trying to work together to deal with themselves.

Seeing that he had some smiles on his face after getting on the boat, everyone greeted him one after another, but it was unclear whether the smiles were full of true feelings or fake ones.

After exchanging greetings, Qiao Chen'an raised his feet and walked towards the inside of the big ship, but suddenly stretched out two jade-like arms from both sides, turned his head to look, and then noticed two elegant women standing on both sides of the bow, It should be specially arranged here to receive the guests on the ship. Although the appearance is not stunning, it is also very beautiful and handsome.

Qiao Chenan didn't know why, but she heard one of the women say, "Young master, if you want to see my young lady, you still need to recite a poem or write a poem..."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the woman opposite said: "If you don't even have this talent, then forgive us for being rude!"

Qiao Chenan was taken aback when he heard the words, how come there are so many rules on boarding a boat, the owner of the painting boat is too arrogant, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes, but saw Liu Shan and others gathered together, with more or less tinge on their faces. There was a bit of teasing, as if he was just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Liu Shan coughed dryly, made a very apologetic look, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Qiao, we came here in a hurry, I forgot about it... If you want to see Miss Yaoqin, you have to go through this journey." One pass is impossible."

After a pause, he said again: "But I believe that with Brother Qiao's talent and learning, this little matter shouldn't bother you, right?"

The others agreed upon hearing the words.

Seeing this, Qiao Chen'an didn't understand that these people united to make him a stumbling block. Since they came here, they must have made preparations long ago, and made the required poems and articles in advance, but they didn't tell themselves that it was tricky. , needless to say.

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled at the two maids, "I don't know what kind of poem I have to write to pass the test?" But my heart was full of curiosity about the owner of the painting boat.

The woman who spoke first said: "Tonight is the night of the full moon, can you write a poem or a word with the theme of 'moon'?"

Although the tone was flat as usual, for some reason, Qiao Chen'an felt that there seemed to be a bit of disdain mixed in, maybe it was his illusion!
Immediately laughed: "Why not?!"

 Thanks to "Dragon Gungun" for a reward of one thousand, and "Jiao Jiuxiao" for a reward of two hundred, and tomorrow will be two more~~~~~~~ Big guys, please forgive someone who has not saved a manuscript and still needs an internship!
