Chapter 383 Furong Street
Sun Shan and others went to Yuelu Mountain Wharf and took a boat to cross the river to the east.
Speaking of taking a boat, I have already taken a long time on the way here. Now that I have arrived at the academy, if I want to go to Hedong, I must take a boat.
In Zhangzhou Prefecture, Sun Shan had never taken a boat, and neither had Gui Ge'er.
Now sitting on the boat, watching the passengers coming and going, I once again confirmed that I am in Changsha Prefecture.
After arriving at Changsha Wharf, we walked a long way before entering the city.
Qian Yingyang complained, "Ashan, I told you to rent a car and go into the city. It's so tiring to walk alone."
Zhu Pengyun next to him disagreed and said, "Yingyang, I think it's better to walk. Walking along the way, feeling the hustle and bustle of Xiangcheng, it's so lively."
Sun Shan insisted on walking not to see the scenery, but to exercise his body.
Walking is so good. It saves money and keeps you healthy. Sun Shan will choose to walk for those who can. For those who cannot walk, Sun Shan will create conditions for them to walk.
He smiled and said, "Yingyang, don't you feel hungry when walking? When we get to Xiangcheng later, hehe, we have to have a good meal. You forgot that Pengyun is treating us today."
After saying this, he blinked at Qian Yingyang. He understood what he should understand, and if he didn't understand, it was because Qian Yingyang was stupid.
Qian Yingyang must have understood, and said with a smile: "Oh, Ashan, you are such a person, I misjudged you. Hehe, now that you mention it, I am really hungry. I will eat more later."
Zhu Pengyun ignored the "plots" of Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang and walked with great vigor, like a village bully walking sideways in the village.
It is said that Zhu Pengyun was born in a farming family.
After his grandfather passed the imperial examination, he sought an official position and became a county magistrate. After his father passed the imperial examination, he failed several times and followed his grandfather's path to seek an official position.
The Zhu family has two generations of juren, and Zhu Pengyun’s small goal is also to become a juren.
He also came to study at Yuelu Academy through connections.
Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang curiously asked Zhu Pengyun whether he looked like his father or his mother.
Zhu Pengyun said very frankly that he looked like his grandfather, his father and even more like his great-grandfather, because his great-grandfather was a butcher and how could he be a pig butcher without some strength?
After hearing this, Sun Shan couldn't help but think that Zhu Pengyun's grandfather must be an inspirational figure. It must have taken a lot of effort for the son of a butcher to pass the imperial examination.
Sun Shan and his companions entered the city smoothly. It was almost noon, so they found a restaurant to eat.
People in Xiangcheng mainly like to eat spicy food. Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang can eat slightly spicy food, but Zhu Pengyun can't eat spicy food.
Sun Shan ordered stir-fried pork with peppers, fish head with chopped peppers, grandma's dish, and three-tier chicken, plus a Huguang soup - taro and radish soup.
Taro and radish top soup, does it save soup?
There were not many dishes, but the portions were large, and chili peppers went well with rice. Sun Shan ate three full bowls of food, not to mention Qian Yingyang and Zhu Pengyun, who had stomachs as big as cows.
As for Gui'er and his three servants, they also enjoyed the meal very much.
When Zhu Pengyun paid the bill, Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang also wanted to pay. Zhu Pengyun said it was not necessary, but Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang insisted on going AA.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Pengyun, let's all pay for this meal. You can treat us to some snacks later."
Although it's a bet, it's just talk and can't be taken seriously.
Favors should be returned clearly and the amounts should be clear. Even among brothers, accounts must be settled clearly.
Qian Yingyang thought so too: "Pengyun, this meal is expensive. We can't let you pay the bill alone. We'll go shopping later, and you can treat us to a street stall."
Zhu Pengyun had no choice but to accept and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a roadside stall when we go shopping later. Hehe, in fact, roadside stalls are more delicious. Let's go to Furong Street and eat from beginning to end."
Changsha has been known as the "Hometown of Qu Yuan and Jia Yuan" and "Famous City of Chu and Han" since ancient times.
Sun Shan remembered that the most iconic building in Changsha, besides Yuelu Academy, was Tianxin Pavilion.
However, there was no Tianxin Pavilion at that time, and I wanted to do some archaeological research, but the word "ancient" had not yet appeared.
Sun Shan and his group of six soon arrived at Furong Street.
The so-called Furong Street is a straight street, similar to Beijing Road in Guangzhou, with shops on both sides, but there are small stalls in front of the shops.
They sell food, clothes, toys, and everything else.
There are a lot of pedestrians here, and the flow is endless.
Sun Shan felt a little troubled when he saw this situation, because he hated places with a lot of people the most.
Zhu Pengyun is the opposite of Qian Yingyang. He goes where there are many people and queues where there are many people queuing.
It’s just like internet celebrities following the trend and checking in. If they could post on WeChat Moments, they would definitely be the first to post.
Gui Ge'er held Sun Shan tightly. He was not afraid of losing Sun Shan, but afraid of losing himself.
If he were spotted and kidnapped by a kidnapper, his wonderful life of eating, drinking and having fun would come to an end, so he had to stay close to Sun Shan to prevent himself from getting lost.
I walked from the left side of the street to the end of the street, and then walked from the right side of the end of the street to the beginning of the street. I walked this street twice and ate twice.
Zhu Pengyun and Qian Yingyang tried their best to buy snacks, but Sun Shan couldn't finish them all, so they all went to Gui Ge'er.
Walk out of Furong Street, turn two corners, and arrive at Furong Lake.
The Liuyang River turns a corner to form a natural river bay. The people of Xiangcheng filled the land to build river embankments, long bridges, pavilions and other buildings, which became a beautiful landscape in Changsha City.
There are many inns lined up on the shore of Furong Lake, which is quite magnificent.
Sun Shan looked carefully at the closed inn and knew where it was.
Things like Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jinmei Tower, and Qunfang Courtyard, you can tell what place they are at a glance.
It is actually a red-light district, and a high-end red-light district.
According to fellow villager Qian Yingyang, Furong Lake is the largest "red-light district" in Changsha, and many literati and scholars come here to have fun.
The Daqian Dynasty openly prohibited officials from bringing prostitutes with them, but no one knew what was going on behind the scenes.
The emperor is far away and the emperor of Daqian is difficult to control.
Sun Shan looked at Qian Yingyang meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "Brother Qian, you look so familiar with this place, are you a frequent visitor here?"
Among Qian Yingyang, Zhu Pengyun and Sun Shan, only Qian Yingyang is married, so naturally he understands it best.
Qian Yingyang denied it five times in a row, just like the Chinese national football team did: "I am not, I did not, don't talk nonsense, it's not like that, you are just making it up."
But her fair face turned red, and it was obvious that she was lying.
Zhu Pengyun didn't believe it either, and said jokingly: "Brother Yingyang, you are a real man, you dare to do and dare to take responsibility. Don't deny it. From what you introduced just now, I know you are an old hand, hehe."
The big, bull-like eyes blinked at Qian Yingyang fiercely, as if he had seen through everything.
Qian Yingyang said very bluntly: "You two young boys, it's useless to say so much to you. Humph."
After saying this, he led his servant Qian Wu and walked forward in a swagger.
Sun Shan and Zhu Pengyun looked at each other, then looked at the brothels lined up along the lake.
Zhu Pengyun blushed and said, "Ashan, I have never been to a brothel. I have a fiancée and I cannot do anything to let her down. Please don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he left happily.
Zhu Pengyun is 19 years old this year and is considered an older youth. The reason why he has not married is because his fiancée, who was engaged to him as a child, has to observe a three-year mourning period, so he kept delaying it until now when he is an older youth.
Sun Shan looked at Zhu Pengyun's back as he walked away like a gust of wind and smiled suddenly.
Sun Shan completely overturned his perception of Zhu Pengyun, who was a big and strong man, and was so loyal.
