"Oh, it seems that this Shi Wenyi is a talent!" The old man closed his eyes and muttered, "I'll pay more attention to him in the future." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes!" The middle-aged man answered.

"How is that little friend now?" The old man said.

"It was Xiao Sa, the son of the prefect, who secretly dealt with him, not letting the inn stay with him, and not letting the landlord rent a house to him, but I have already arranged it and stayed in our small courtyard!"

"That's good, that's good, find a chance, let's go and pay a visit!" The old man said, "Check it, why did Xiao Sa deal with him?" ”

"Yes!" The middle-aged man answered.

"What? Ming Zhongxin actually found a place to stay! Xiao Sa looked at Xiao Sen with wide eyes.

"Yes! Subordinates are incompetent! Please punish the childe! Xiao Sen had no choice but to bow his head and admit punishment.

"No, how can there be anyone in Fucheng who doesn't sell the face of my Xiao family, saying, who is the owner of the house?" Xiao Sa thought about it and asked.

"It's a small house of Lord Tixue!"

"Tixue-sama?" Xiao Sa was messy again, "Does this kid even help him with the Mention of Learning?" ”

"As far as I know, Lord Tixue only wrote the preface to Ming Zhongxin's book at the request of Liu Zhixian, and he did not have a relationship with Master Tixue before!" Xiao Sen affirmed.

"Then it's incomprehensible why this Tixue Lord provided him with accommodation!" Xiao Sa was confused.

This Xiao Sen couldn't answer.

"Let's go and investigate again, what is the relationship between Master Tixue and Ming Zhongxin?" Xiao Sa commanded, "Don't remember, don't let Lord Tixue realize that we are investigating!" ”

Xiao Sen answered.

After Ming Zhongxin and his entourage were settled, they all went out of the house.

But seeing that the middle-aged housekeeper was looking at them in the corner of the wall, Ming Zhongxin pointed to the foot of the wall, and Zhao Mingxing came to the foot of the wall and invited the middle-aged housekeeper over.

"Didn't ask for Gao's name?" Mingzhong channel.

"Lu Yuan!" The middle-aged man in the housekeeper hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"Master Lu, may I ask, what are the scenery in Jinan Mansion, do we want to go and take a look?" Ming Zhongxin asked.

"If you want to talk about the scenery of Jinan Province, the best ones are Baotu Spring, Thousand Buddha Mountain, and Daming Lake!" Lu Yuandao.

"Which one is closest to here?"

"If you want to say close, it is Daming Lake!"

"Okay, then go to Daming Lake! The owner of the house took us there! Ming Zhongxin said to Lu Yuan.

The group came to Daming Lake.

But I saw the breeze blowing on the lake, the willows swaying gently, and the microwave rippling.

"Wow!" Zhao Mingxing waited for a while.

Ming Zhongxin came to the Daming Lake, but saw the kite flying and the fish jumping on the lake, the lotus flower is full of ponds, the painting boat runs through, the willows on the shore are thick, the flowers are like brocade, the visitors are like weaving, and there are all kinds of pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions in the meantime, the distant mountains and near the water and the clear sky are integrated into one color, just like a huge color picture scroll.

For a time, Mingzhong's confidence was relaxed.

The housekeeper introduced, "This Daming Lake has a long history, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, the famous geographer Li Daoyuan wrote "Water Jing Note? There is a record in the Jishui Note: "The north flow of the water is Daming Lake, the west is Daming Temple, and the east and north sides of the temple are lakes. There are other historical records, at that time Daming Lake was called Lixia Wave or Lishui Wave, south to Maoying Lake, north to Queshan and Huabu Mountain, that is to say, the current Daming Lake, Wulong Pond and North Park are connected to a big lake, the lake is dozens of miles wide, flat swallow Jiluo. During the Six Dynasties, because of the lotus in the lake, it was once called "Lotus Seed Lake", and in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was both called "Lotus Seed Lake" (see Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous") and also known as "Lishuipi". In the Song Dynasty, it was also known as 'West Lake'. ”

"The beauty of Daming Lake has been famous all over the world since the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Zeng Gong once wrote a poem, 'Ask me where to avoid the heat and steam, and the ten acres of West Lake shine brightly.' It can be seen that this place was already a place to cool off and recreation at that time. In the fifth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (1072 AD), when Zeng Gong was appointed as the governor of Qizhou (now Jinan), in order to prevent floods, he built the North Water Gate, led the lake water into the Xiaoqing River, made the water level of the lake constant for many years, and built pavilions, platforms, embankments and bridges along the lake, so that it gradually became a tourist landscape. In ancient times, the lake was very wide, and the area around the Wulong Pond is also included. After going through changes, to the Jin Dynasty, Daming Lake refers to the lake area in the city. In the Jin Dynasty, the poet Yuan Haowen was called Daming Lake in the "Jinan Travels". ”

"In Jinan, many famous people were born, such as the famous Jun Dashun, the divine doctor Bian Que, the famous general Qin Qiong, the famous minister Fang Xuanling, the famous poet Li Bai, Du Fu, Huang Tingjian, the lyricist Li Qingzhao, Xin Qiji, and the famous novelist Liu He have lived and traveled in Jinan, so they have the reputation of 'the right side of the sea and the ancient Tinggu, and the famous people in Jinan'."

"The ten views of Daming Lake, there are the evening sunshine of the waves, the autumn moon of the Ming Lake, the reflection of Foshan, the good sound of the garden, the lotus rhyme of the waves, the smoke and waves of the painted boat, the sunshine of Danfang, the quiet frog of Zhongming, the deep spring of the willow bank, and the autumn wind."

"There are many buildings in Daming Lake, there is a pavilion, three gardens, three floors, four shrines, six islands, seven bridges, and ten pavilions. Beautifully built and each with its own character. The first pavilion is the Taoist temple - the North Pole Pavilion. The three gardens are the gardens in the garden - the Iron Ancestral Hall, the small Canglang, and the Yao Garden. On the third floor, there is the Huibo Building, the Arctic Pavilion (not exact), and the Transcendent Building. The four ancestral halls are Tiegong Ancestral Hall, Xin Jiaxuan Ancestral Hall, Huiquan Ancestral Hall, and Nanfeng Ancestral Hall [Lotus Root. The six islands are Cuiliuping Island, Bird and Bird Rest Island, Guting Island, Mingshi Island, Huiquan Island, Huxin Island, Jiaxuan Island, Qiuliu Island, and Huju Island. The seven bridges are Furong, Shuixi, Huxi, Beichi, Baihua, Quehua, Qiuliu, and Huibo; The ten pavilions are Lixia Pavilion, Huxin Pavilion, Jiuqu Pavilion, Yuhan Pavilion, Mandarin Duck Pavilion, Yuexia Pavilion, Haoran Pavilion, Deyue Pavilion, and Yuhe Pavilion. “

"In addition, the frogs of the 'four monsters' ------- Daming Lake do not sing, the snakes are difficult to find, the drought does not fall for a long time, and the rain does not rise for a long time."

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Ming Zhongxin and his entourage walked in Daming Lake to enjoy these beautiful scenery one by one.

But seeing a group of people in front of him watching this beautiful scenery, Ming Zhongxin and his party were about to avoid moving forward.

"Ming Zhongxin!" The crowd in front of them shouted, cheering and galloping over.

Ming Zhongxin stood helplessly on the ground, waiting for their arrival.

This group of people is the children who are taking the examination in Ling County, and the top ten are all except Huang Ju, Li Tingmei, and Wang Qi, and they have all known each other in the county government before.

Everyone was gossiping.

However, Ming Zhongxin observed that everyone's faces seemed to be a little low.

"Guys, what seems to be the matter?" Ming Zhongxin asked tentatively.

"When I was playing just now, I saw the candidates in Licheng, and they were all flying high, driving us away, shouting and scolding, saying that we should study at home and should not be so slack, otherwise this government exam will be low. I waited for a theory, but I was insulted even more. "There is a fast-talking child.

"Why is this Licheng candidate like this?" Ming Zhongxin was puzzled, saying that just came, these candidates are also taking the government exam for the first time, should they have no grievances?

Everyone looked at each other, but Ming Zhongxin didn't know?

"Okay, Huang Ju and they're back!" A child shouted.

saw Huang Ju and the others with a blue face, and walked quickly.

"Brother Huang, what's wrong?" Ming Zhongxin stepped forward and asked.
