Su Gong Dike was built across the north and south of the West Lake when Su Shi was the governor of Hangzhou, so it got its name. The purpose of Mr. Dongpo's doing this was not just to let future generations have such a world-famous "Su Dike Spring Dawn"

The purpose of the grand scene was actually to dredge the West Lake and remove debris.

When Su Shi was an official in Hangzhou, the appearance of West Lake was far from as exquisite and beautiful as it is today. There was a large area of ​​water on the east side near the city, and the scenery was not bad. However, the water in the west area of ​​the lake was covered with dense weeds and water trees.

Over the years, sediment from the hillsides to the west and north of West Lake has accumulated here. The lake is shallow, dirty, and overgrown with weeds. In spring and summer, poisonous insects, mosquitoes and flies fly everywhere, and discarded animal carcasses float, creating a foul odor.

The smell is so bad that I can't stay here at all.

So, with the purpose of benefiting the people, expanding the water storage capacity of West Lake, and transforming West Lake into a water surface that is beneficial to the people of Hangzhou, Su Shi launched this dredging operation. Two hundred thousand people were involved in this major event.

Among them, the cost is unimaginable. People uprooted weeds and trees, cleared and excavated a large amount of rancid silt, deepened the lake surface, and transformed the surrounding messy environment. During this period, where to dump the huge amount of silt and weeds that were cleared out?

This is a problem that consumes a lot of money and manpower and is nerve-wracking.

Finally, Su Shi decided to build a dam on the spot, using the silt and weeds to cast a dam that ran through the north and south of the West Lake. This not only solved the problem of where to deposit the excavated silt and weeds, but also formed a channel connecting the north and south of the West Lake.

It greatly facilitates the passage from the north to the south of West Lake. Of course, during the process of building the embankment, Su Shi's mind was flashing with ideas, and he kept thinking of good ideas. So there were six arch bridges on the Su embankment, from south to north, Yingbo, Yingbo,

Suolan, Wangshan, Yadi, Dongpu, and Kuaihong are all arch bridges named by Su Shi himself. At the same time, ramps, small docks, and walking trails were built on the embankments. A large number of weeping willows, peach, crabapple, and hibiscus were planted.

Dozens of highly ornamental flowers and trees, including wisteria, eventually formed the embankment into what is now the world-famous Sugong Embankment.

Whenever spring comes, weeping willows spin silk on the Su Causeway and green peach blossoms bloom. People walk on the causeway, looking at the lakes and mountains on the left, and looking at the misty rain and light waves in the sky. In addition, the eyes are full of smokey willows, red flowers and fat leaves, and warblers among the flowers and trees.

In other words, the arched bridge and pavilion are picturesque, and when the spring breeze washes them away, it can be said to be as wonderful as entering a fairyland. It not only makes the West Lake a scene and becomes the first choice for people who come to Hangzhou to visit, but also promotes the originally barren and barren wilderness to the west of the West Lake.

development. Nowadays, the coastal area to the west of the West Lake has long been nothing less than a scene in the city. Because of the elegant environment and the mountains and rivers in the north, dignitaries and wealthy merchants in the city have spent a lot of money to build mansions and mansions. The vicinity of the dike Kongqiao Pier has become a

A gathering place. On many festivals, people gather here, and major brothels will also hold various activities here. It has become an extremely prosperous and lively place for a while.

As the sun set, Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er led their horses and walked on the Su Causeway. Fang Zian had walked through this embankment countless times. In the three years since crossing, Fang Zian would rush there almost every morning. Go across the embankment from the south bank to Qixia Mountain on the north bank and go to Qixia Academy

Reading, and then walking back to the city from the north bank through the embankment in the evening. But even after walking countless times, Fang Zian was still not indifferent to the scenery of the embankment. For Fang Zian, this place is not only beautiful in spring, but also for Fang Zian, no matter what No matter what season it is, spring, summer, autumn or winter, no matter early morning or evening, this embankment has its own beauty.

But at this moment, Fang Zian seemed to have no intention of enjoying the scenery. He was walking here while holding the horse, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about some problem. His steps were also slow, so that he was walking behind him. The horses were dissatisfied and nudged his back from time to time, seeming to urge him to speed up his pace.

Shen Ling'er, who was leading the horse behind Fang Zian, seemed to be in a very happy mood. She would squat down and smell the blooming flowers on the roadside, and then reach out and touch the willow branches above her head. Suddenly she would show off her martial arts again. He stretched out his hand and caught a flying butterfly. He stared at it for a while, then raised his hand and let the butterfly fly away. Sometimes after playing for a long time, I found that there was a gap between Fang Zian and Fang Zian. The distance was short, so he hurriedly led the horse and trotted to catch up. He was as happy as a child.

Although the two walked slowly, they quickly arrived at the northern section of Su Causeway. After passing Wangshan Bridge, the next bridge was the Embankment Bridge. This is the fourth arch bridge from south to north. The north part of this arch bridge There is a horizontal embankment on the side leading to the lush trees on the west shore of the lake. This embankment was built later and was called "Xiaoxin Embankment". It was precisely because the west of the lake was developed and in order to facilitate traffic, the subsequent government built a long dike here. A hundred-step horizontal embankment connects Su Causeway and the West Bank.

When Fang Zian stopped and turned around to look, Shen Ling'er was glaring at a jumping and chirping oriole on the willow tree twenty or thirty steps away, making faces. Although he was wearing men's clothes and his face was painted with earth-colored foundation, the sunset illuminated On her face, the outline of Shen Ling'er's delicate facial features was bathed in the golden sunlight. Her tall figure and long legs that could not be concealed by her long gown still gave Fang Zian a big impact. Shen Ling'er was actually extremely raw. Beautiful, both in facial features and figure. The eighteen-year-old girl is just like a budding flower, delicate and beautiful.

Shen Ling'er seemed to feel Fang Zian's gaze. She turned around and saw Fang Zian standing in front waiting for her. She quickly came to her senses and led the horse to walk quickly.

"What did you say to that yellow warbler?" Fang Zian asked with a smile.

Shen Ling'er's face was slightly red, and she said awkwardly: "Nothing, just looking at it. It barked at me, and I wanted to hear what it had to say."

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Do you understand what it says?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head and said, "I don't understand. Its cry is different from the birds in the woods where I grew up. I can't understand it."

Fang Zian burst out laughing. Hearing these words, it seemed as if Shen Ling'er could understand the birds singing in the mountains and forests of her hometown when she was a child. She was really just a little girl, and her words were so childish that it was difficult to distinguish her from the sinister person before. associated with the image of silence.

"Miss Ling'er, we're going to reach the Zhangjia Restaurant soon. According to Xia Liangdong, we can get there by walking up the hillside to the west after passing Xiaoxindi," Fang Zian said.

"Okay, I understand." Shen Ling'er looked at the lush greenery to the west. Under the setting sun, facing the light, the lush greenery there looked a bit gloomy and dim. That was part of the sunlight and shadow blocked by the hillside to the west. What it looks like after being shrouded.

"I have to explain something to you. In a moment... when I go in for the banquet... don't follow me, just stay outside. Well... no matter what happens inside, don't go in and don't act impulsively. Do you understand? ?" Fang Zian said in a deep voice.

Shen Ling'er looked a little surprised, frowned and said, "Young master, does he think there is something wrong?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's not that I think it is wrong, but there must be something wrong. Xia Liangdong suddenly invited me to a banquet, and he chose a place like this outside the city. I'm afraid it's not that simple. There is no such thing as a good banquet. I'm afraid he has something. Thoughts. Even if I’m overly concerned, let’s be more prepared.”

Shen Ling'er frowned and said, "Since the young master knows that he is not well-intentioned, why do you still come to the banquet?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Escape is not the solution. If I can't subdue this guy, I won't be able to act freely in the yamen. The conflict with him always needs to be resolved. It's obvious that he invited me to a place like this. I want to show off my cards. I came to the banquet to show off my cards with him. Am I going to reject him and then have to scheming with him every day, trying to outdo each other, and trying to undermine each other? That’s not possible.”

Shen Ling'er nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "If he dares to do anything bad to you, Ling'er will kill him without a burial place."

Fang Zian frowned and shouted: "What did I tell you? I just told you not to be impulsive and just stay outside. I will solve the matter myself. If I weren't afraid that Xiqing and Chunni would be worried, I wouldn't have brought him tonight You are here. You are not allowed to mess around. I am here to solve the problem, not to cause trouble. Do you understand?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a while and said: "Okay, Ling'er just listen to the master."

Fang Zian nodded and said, "That's just right. After passing Xiaoxindi, you should stay away from me. I'll burn a stick of incense before you go. Just wait for me outside and don't go in." remember."

Shen Ling'er nodded and said, "Okay."

Fang Zian nodded with satisfaction and said with a warm smile: "Miss Ling'er, you are very conscientious and I have a good impression of you. In fact, I don't care about the misunderstandings we had before. Let's officially fix it. We will be friends from now on."

Shen Ling'er looked at Fang Zian blankly, nodded and said: "Thank you, Master. I have long regarded him as... a friend."

Fang Zian smiled and nodded, turned around and walked quickly, and soon walked onto the stone bridge.

After getting off the bridge and crossing the small new embankment, Fang Zian climbed up the ramp sloping toward the hillside. Under the shadow of the setting sun, the surrounding trees were lush and blocked the skylight. Although the trees were lush, the tall walls of the big houses on both sides were still visible from time to time. appears in the field of vision, and the roads are clean and spacious, but it always gives people a feeling of too much silence. The houses here are all private courtyards and mansions, and most of them are independent in each circle, so although it seems that they are not There are few people there, but there is no trace of people outside at all.

In the dim light of the sky, Fang Zian walked slowly up the slope. The footsteps of a man and a horse clicked on the bluestone steps, even with some echoes, making it look lonely and empty.

After walking up the gently sloping slope for a few miles, Fang Zian saw a wine curtain picked out from the trees on the side. The wine curtain had Zhang Ji's name written on it, so it was obvious that the Zhang Family Restaurant was on the side.
