Xie Fu traveled all the way and felt that the nightlife in Suzhou was different from that in Yangzhou. The ten-mile long street under the nightlife in Yangzhou seemed to be exclusive to the gentry, literati, powerful and wealthy gentry.
And this Seven Lanes and Nine Lanes is a more down-to-earth way for everyone to participate. In every street and lane, all living beings are equal and there is no threshold. Even the humble people in the market can have their own pursuits. Maybe you can be bolder and come forward to take a ride.
Damn, maybe the girl will respond to you.
A thought suddenly came to Xie Fu's mind. Maybe he would fall in love with a certain girl in this street, or maybe a certain girl would fall in love with him.
Thinking about it, I felt very funny. How could I have such thoughts? When I was in Yangzhou, I had never had such thoughts when I was a resident in a brothel. Maybe it was illusory and dreamy at that time, but now it is more real and plain, as if it is within reach.
Both men and women had a look of joy on their faces. This joy was caused by an invisible thread between men and women.
If there are no men and women in the world, if there is no love in the world, how can we have this joy? Suzhou, Suzhou, how can you be so beautiful and moving? The more beautiful and moving you are, the more regretful I am.
Xie Fu didn't know the way when he first arrived, so Hu Diquan led the way. Hu Diquan seemed to have completely forgotten that Xie Fu was with him. Sometimes he walked slowly, sometimes he walked fast. Although Xie Fu sometimes enjoyed the scenery, he still had to follow closely.
Hu Diquan, there are too many people in the streets and alleys, they are so crowded that you can't find anyone if you don't pay attention.
When he reached the middle of a railing bridge, Hu Diquan suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Have you seen where the girl in red went?"
Hearing this, Xie Fu knew that Hu Diquan had found a beautiful woman again, so he followed him all the way and said with a smile: "Which girl in red are you talking about? They are all girls in red." He looked around lightly, and there were at least four or five red girls in his eyes.
Clothes girl.
"It's just that... she is dressed beautifully, with a beaded hairpin in her hair, and her eyes seem to be able to talk."
Hu Diquan was not very good at describing it. Even if he described it more vividly, Xie Fu would not be able to tell the difference. He smiled and replied: "I didn't see it."
Hu Diquan said "ouch" with great regret, "I can't sleep tonight."
Xie Fu smiled and comforted: "This beauty is yours. You can see it, he can see it, and I can see it. It's not yours. You can't get it, he can't get it, and I can't get it. Isn't that good?
."
Hu Diquan said: "But she smiled at me."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "How did you know she was smiling at you? Maybe she just saw something interesting."
Hu Diquan said firmly: "She was clearly smiling at me. I almost couldn't breathe at that moment."
Xie Fu didn't have anything to say, so he could only say: "If you are destined, you will meet again. If you are not destined, what will happen even if you follow her to the door of her house."
Hu Diquan was actually said to be enlightened, and responded: "Yes, if we are destined, I will meet you next time I come here." Then he explained: "If she hadn't smiled at me, I wouldn't be so sentimental, let's go.
."
Hu Diquan just turned around, but Xie Fu grabbed his clothes and said, "The scenery here is unique, just stop and enjoy it."
There are seven lanes and nine squares, and there are twenty-seven railing bridges. I don’t know how many lanes I have walked, but I have already passed several railing bridges. Xie Fu has not stopped to appreciate it, how can he let it go.
This bridge is a small bridge suspended over the river lane. The bridge has an arc shape and soft lines. The bottom is left empty for ships to pass through. It is a wooden structure with vermilion balustrades painted red, so it is also called red lanterns.
At this time, Mr. Xie stood on the railing bridge and saw many towers on the land and close to the water. Looking at it, they looked like a gorgeous ribbon. The painted boats under the river connected with each other, and the lights were lit like the Milky Way.
The long-awaited night wind blew, and his hair rippled slightly. Xie Fu felt very comfortable. Everyone stepped out of the house, probably just to wait for this moment. They saw thick red mist blowing through the windows of the brothel, the bead curtains flickering, and the painted boats.
The yarn is rippling, the music is playing, the cups are being pushed and the cups are changed, and the sound of laughter and slapstick follows.
Hu Diquan's heart ached when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by the painted boats on the river. Unfortunately, he was short of money. If he had any silver, he would risk his life here and have a miserable time.
Xie Fu felt inspired and chanted: "The jade world shines in the world, and the fairy songs are swaying in the water. Wherever it is not romantic, it is the Lantern Festival every night." In other places, only the Lantern Festival is so lively, but Suzhou City is like the Lantern Festival every night.
, it really deserves to be the most prosperous one in Jiangnan.
Hu Diquan was surprised when he heard this, "Thank you, Fu, can you write poetry? The way you were reciting poetry just now really looked like a scholar and poet."
Xie Fu laughed loudly: "It's just a poem, it's simple. It's not easy to write a good work."
Hu Diquan asked: "What a simple method, why can't I know it?"
"Poems are all about rhyming rules. Like this five-character quatrain, the last words of the first, second, and fourth lines need to rhyme in the same tone, or the last words of the second and fourth lines need to rhyme in the same tone.
slidely different……"
Before Xie Fu finished speaking, Hu Diquan raised his hand and interrupted: "Stop! I don't want to learn anymore."
Xie Fu chuckled.
Hu Diquan came closer and whispered: "Thank you, Fu, I will take you to a good place." The song of the woman on the boat just made him feel itchy, to the point where he could not express his displeasure.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with it, so you just lead the way."
The two walked from the bright place to the dark place, from the building to the tiled roof, and then walked to a small alley. On both sides were brick-and-wood bungalows with bumpy walls. They didn't even bother to paint them with white paint, although there was a red gatehouse.
The light was not very bright, it only illuminated the lower part of the courtyard. Xie Fu's shoes suddenly got wet, and he stepped into puddles.
Xie Fu couldn't help but be a little suspicious and asked: "Is this also the seven lanes and nine lanes?"
Hu Diquan smiled and said: "Of course, do you know where this place is?"
Xie Fu looked at the dim and unclear surroundings and blurted out: "Could it be a kiln or a tile shop?"
Hu Diquan chuckled, "You must have been suffocating in the house for the past half month. The lady can't eat it. As long as there is money in this place, you can eat it right away."
Xie Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that Hu Diquan would bring him to such a place. However, this is human nature. As a man, he asked: "Since Wang Wushuang rebuilt these seven lanes and nine squares, how come he still left such a dilapidated building?"
place."
Hu Diquan responded: "What do you know? Drive them all away. How can they live without a livelihood? How can we men live? Haha, when officials wanted to reorganize this place, it was Wang Wushuang who stopped them.
I didn’t expect that Wang Wushuang also thought about us ordinary people."
Although Fu Xie often visited brothels in Yangzhou, he had never been to these brothels. Suddenly a pair of hands suddenly appeared and hugged Fu Xie. A thick fragrance of fat hit his face, making Xie choke.
Fu was a little dizzy, "Uncle, go inside."
"Go, go, go! I'm in love!" Hu Diquan pushed the woman away unceremoniously.
The woman said "cut" and did not continue to pester.
Hu Diquan smiled and said, "I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
Xie Fu chuckled, "Although I was scared, I still found it interesting."
Hu Diquan said: "She is an orange woman. No matter how thickly she applies powder, she can't cover it up."
Xie Fu responded: "It was too dark just now, I didn't see clearly."
