There is a large lake in Baifeng City, called Fengwu Lake. The lake is named after its shape of a phoenix. In the middle of the lake bank, there is a bridge connecting the west city on the other side, dividing the city into two.
It is called Fengnan City and Fengbei City, and in Fengbei City, 750 feet away from Fengwu Bridge to the west, there is a nationally famous waterfront pavilion, Fenghuang Pavilion.
Su Hanxiang invited Princess Baoqing to visit the lake with Lan Yang and Mo Yan.
A group of people walked vigorously on the stone road on the shore of Fengwu Lake. The shade of the trees blocked the sun and it was very cool.
Lan Yang was excited and excited, thinking that she had always lived in a side courtyard of the Prince's Palace in the capital, and had few contacts with people, let alone going out to play. Even if she was in that mood, her body would not allow it. Since then
After she recovered from the illness, under the guidance of Su Han, she has returned to the liveliness she should have at her age.
She also had the opportunity to see the world, and the misty and rainy scenery in the south of the Yangtze River made her like it even more. Like a little bird out of its cage, she was curious about everything. If the Princess of Baoqing County hadn't grasped it tightly and pointed
Not sure where he went.
Su Han also liked the scenery here very much, especially this place with strong ancient charm, which he couldn't take his eyes away from.
Mo Yan accompanied her and softly explained to her the scenery here and interesting anecdotes from the legends, as well as some allusions. Su Han listened with relish.
When they were approaching the Phoenix Pavilion, the lively scene there also attracted their attention.
On the road leading to here, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, most of them are young men, wearing both fine and common clothes.
"This is the favorite place for literati and students to gather in Baifeng City. It's a place where you can enjoy the sights and tour the lake, and write and write, and you will surely produce masterpieces." Mo Yanmu said with envy.
"Most of them are literati, elegant people, and students. After all, most of them are men?" Su Han couldn't help but smile when he heard the meaning of her words.
After Mo Yan looked away, she also smiled: "I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes. My daughter is not talented. She has attended a private school with her father and brothers in the mansion since she was a child. To be honest, she is also a little talented in literature, but what can I do?
This world has never looked down upon a woman with literary talent. No matter which one of them excels in music, chess, calligraphy or painting, there are often more people who slander and criticize her than praise her. If she doesn't show her talent, she won't be scolded."
The princess of Baoqing County smiled and said: "What Miss Mo said is only part of it. I think there are many famous and talented women in this world."
"Has the princess seen their fate? Is any of them good?" Mo Yan asked.
Princess Baoqing curled her lips and shook her head: "It's true, the world often spreads stories about their most glorious moments, but no one mentions their final tragic ending."
"So, I still don't want to show off, whether it's music, chess, calligraphy or painting, I only want people who understand to appreciate it. It's the same thing, just because I don't need others to judge me and I am just enjoying myself." Mo Yan smiled again.
"That makes sense. I know what I'm capable of. Why should others tell me what to do? It's boring. If I meet someone who understands, I might be able to get some pointers. But if I meet someone who understands, I'll be really frustrated and angry."
, get angry, say that we are not generous and cannot tolerate other people's opinions and suggestions, so don't get angry, we are not feeling well yet, we should close the door and enjoy the fun by ourselves, it is quite fun." Su Han agreed.
nodded.
"What the princess said is true. This Phoenix Pavilion is the most famous place in Baifeng City. Every day, many people want to show off their talents here and win praise from everyone. However, there are also times when things go wrong and their reputation is ruined.
, some are happy and some are sad." Mo Yan smiled at her again.
This is also the reason why she likes Su Han. Although this little princess is young and was previously mentally deficient, her shrewdness and thoroughness are no worse than anyone else, and she is even better when talking to her.
, extremely comfortable, and can often be seen through just a little bit.
After Lan Yang suddenly listened for a while, he immediately pulled the hand of Prince Baoqing and said, "Grandma, did you hear the sound of the piano? It seems... there is also a whistle..."
Prince Baoqing listened carefully and shook his head: "I didn't hear it."
Lan Yang looked at Su Han and Mo Yan again: "Little Auntie Huang, Miss Mo, didn't you hear it either?"
Mo Yan smiled and shook her head: "Didn't hear that, did you?"
"Yes!" Su Han nodded and affirmed: "It should be coming from the Phoenix Pavilion."
"Look, I'll just say yes, but the sound of the piano sounds quite sad." Lan Yang said again.
Su Han shook his head this time: "It's good if I can hear the sound. I can't tell whether it's sad or not, mainly because I can't understand it."
Princess Baoqing chuckled softly: "I didn't hear it at all."
"Why don't we go and have a look?" Lan Yang asked, blinking her big expectant eyes.
"I wonder if we women should be allowed in and not kicked out again." Su Han was a little worried.
In this era, women are subject to too many restrictions. Otherwise, they usually dress up as men when going out. This time she knows what it means to hide your identity. It is just for convenience. At least you can go anywhere by wearing men's clothes.
Jiang Bin was asked to go over and inquire about it first. He ran back and nodded to them: "You can go in. There are many women inside, and I even saw a female Qinghuan playing the piano and the flute."
"Then let's go and watch the excitement." Su Han raised an eyebrow at them.
Lan Yang exclaimed happily, but was stopped by Princess Baoqing, who warned her in a low voice: "Don't go crazy, let alone run around. This is a pavilion on the lake. If it falls into the lake,
It’s very dangerous.”
"I know grandma, Lan Yang won't do it." Lan Yang smiled flatteringly at her.
Everyone was wearing casual clothes. Although there were more people accompanying them, they could only tell that they were the women of a wealthy family, but no one could guess their true identities.
Phoenix Pavilion is a four-corner pavilion hall with four pillars inside to separate the three areas of calligraphy, painting and chess. On the 100-meter platform outside the pavilion, there are also stone tables and benches. In the middle of the platform is a stone
There is still green smoke rising from the lamp and incense burner.
On the right side of the platform, there is a stone bench with a guqin placed on it. A woman in pink is sitting there playing the piano. A woman in red is sitting on the stone bench behind her, holding a long Xiao, and this
The sound of the piano is melodious, and the sound is far-reaching and very pleasant to the ears.
There were already many people stopping to watch, and there were still a few people in the pavilion, many of whom were writing and painting.
Their entry did not attract too many people's attention, because there were many women here, but there were still more men.
After looking at the paintings that had been hung up, Su Han didn't have much interest anymore.
It is not said that this painting is not good, but compared with the girl Mo Yan next to him, Su Han doesn't think it is good-looking at all.
As for the calligraphy, in her perception, these words are not as good as the calligraphy of King Yi, let alone compared with Xiao Muting's calligraphy. They lack that fortitude and vigor, which is not her preference.
She certainly didn't know how to play chess, but Lan Yang stood there and watched for a long time, then came back disappointed. After shaking his head slightly at them, he said in a low voice: "Not even I can play well."
A few people walked to the platform clearly and listened to the piano and Xiao ensemble. As Lan Yang said before, it really had a sad and sorrowful meaning.
At this time, several people were talking behind him, and a man said with emotion: "The scenery here is beautiful with lakes and mountains, but in terms of the cultural atmosphere, it is really not as good as Yatao Xiaozhu in the capital, which is the first choice for talented people."
, It’s a pity, I don’t know when I want to go again.”
Su Han raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with calculations in his eyes.
