Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

The group visited Lu You's former residence and other scenic spots in Shaoxing, and the day passed happily. The next day, Su Jiahe led everyone to Lin'an, not far from Shaoxing.

"Mr. Lu, this is the capital of the Song Dynasty."

"Let me tell you, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Lin'an is the most beautiful city I have ever been to. Just follow me." Wang Mang said happily after getting off the train.

"Brother Wang, since you've been here, tell me where to go first."

"Coming to Lin'an, of course we'll go to West Lake first."

A few people came to West Lake and took the scenic area's sightseeing bus around the lake.

"Let me tell you, West Lake has ten famous scenic spots. This one is Willow Waves and Singing Orioles. Unfortunately, it's winter now, so the willow trees are not that lush. That one is Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. If you come at night, you can see three moons in the water..." Wang Mang acted as a tour guide.

On the shore of West Lake, there are many old people walking and dancing, and a group of children laughing and playing.

"The last time I came to Lin'an was when I was young. After so many years, West Lake is still as charming as ever." Lu You looked at the vast lake and felt refreshed.

After touring West Lake, it was time for lunch.

"I know a restaurant that serves the most authentic Hangzhou cuisine." Wang Mang led everyone to a restaurant on the shore of West Lake - Louwailou.

This restaurant is decorated in a very elegant and retro style. Sitting on the second floor, you can enjoy the lake view outside the window.

"Mr. Lu, Brother Wang, I have never been to Lin'an and don't know what's delicious. Can you recommend something?" Su Jiahe looked at the menu, not knowing what to order.

"I was busy taking the exam last time and don't have much impression of the food. You guys order." Lu You said.

"Let me recommend a famous dish to you, West Lake Vinegar Fish. If you come to Lin'an and don't eat Vinegar Fish, it's like you've come in vain." Wang Mang said as he had already ordered one by scanning the code.

"But I saw on the Internet that West Lake Vinegar Fish is not delicious." Su Jiahe frowned.

"That's because what they eat isn't authentic. You can only eat authentic food by the West Lake. Believe me, I ate it last time and it was unforgettable."

"Okay, I'll believe you this time." Su Jiahe selected a few more dishes and Yingying's favorite desserts and placed the order.

A moment later, the waiter brought an oblong plate with a fish in the middle, covered in rich sauce and surrounded by emerald green onions.

"It looks delicious." Su Jiahe picked up a piece of fish and put it in Lu You's bowl, then picked up another piece for Yingying, and finally picked up a piece for herself and put it in her mouth.

"Sister Su, this fish seems to be raw." Yingying suddenly spat out the fish in her mouth.

"How can it be raw?"

Before Su Jiahe could finish her words, she felt a raw fishy smell wrapped in a sour vinegar taste rushing through her mouth, and she couldn't help but spit out the fish.

"I thought it was sweet and sour sauce, but it turns out it's just vinegar." Su Jiahe drank a glass of water to dilute the sour taste in her mouth.

"I think it's okay." As a guest, Lu You was embarrassed to say that the food was bad, so he had to grit his teeth and swallow it, but the mask of pain could not be suppressed on his face.

"Brother Wang, are you deliberately trying to trick us?"

"I'm not lying to you. I ate it 20 years ago and it was truly unforgettable. That's why I recommend it to you."

"It turned out to be so unforgettable. I was wondering why you didn't eat yourself and just watched us eat."

"Just tell me whether it's unforgettable or not." Wang Mang said with a smile.

"It's bad enough that you cheated me, but you also cheated Mr. Lu and Yingying. You have to eat the whole plate of fish today." Su Jiahe was so angry that she picked up a big piece of vinegar fish and was about to stuff it into Wang Mang's mouth.

"No, no, no, I was wrong." Wang Mang stretched out his hand to block the chopsticks that Su Jiahe extended.

"Stop arguing, let's try other dishes." Lu You quickly tried to persuade them.

After a while, several dishes were served and the small table seemed a little crowded.

"Please take this away." Su Jiahe said, pointing at the West Lake Vinegar Fish.

"Waiter, please clear our dishes too." The guest at the next table raised his plate and handed it to the waiter. Only one piece of vinegar fish on it was picked up with chopsticks.

"I find that Brother Wang is quite humorous." Lu You looked at Wang Mang with a smile.

"Yes, he's a good guy and very capable, but he's a little unreliable sometimes."

"Okay, let's finish eating quickly. I'll take you to visit some scenic spots along the West Lake." Wang Mang picked up a piece of honeyed lotus root slices with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't trick us anymore."

"When have I ever cheated you on traveling?"

After dinner, Wang Mang took everyone for a stroll along the West Lake and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Yuewang Temple. In front of the gate, there was a screen wall with four large characters written on it: "Serve the country with loyalty."

"Is this the temple built for General Yue?" Lu You was stunned.

"Yes, the Yuewang Temple is to commemorate Yue Fei. Let's go in and take a look."

As they entered the main hall, they saw a plaque hanging in the center, inscribed with the words "Return Our Homeland." Beneath the plaque was a statue of Yue Fei. Clad in armor and holding a broadsword, the statue looked energetic, as if gazing at the distant mountains and rivers.

"General Yue!" Lu You couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the statue of Yue Fei.

"General Yue, your death was unjust. If you were alive, you would surely have reclaimed the Song Dynasty and saved the people of the north from being humiliated by the barbarians."

Neither Wang Mang nor Su Jiahe said anything, but just stayed by Lu You's side silently.

While everyone knows Yue Fei's tragic story, Lu You personally experienced that turbulent era, and his emotions are naturally incomprehensible to others. At this moment, it seems that any words are pale and powerless.

"Alas, treacherous ministers are in power and persecute loyal and good people. It's a pity that the heaven is blind. General Yue, may your spirit in heaven bless the Song Dynasty to recover the Central Plains." Lu You sighed heavily and bowed three times respectfully to the statue of Yue Fei.

"Mr. Lu, Qin Hui and his wife are kneeling over there. Why don't you go over and scold them?" Wang Mang pointed outside.

"What, those two are here too?"

Lu You walked out quickly and saw two metal statues kneeling at the door with their heads lowered, as if they were apologizing.

“It’s a statue.”

"Later generations also deeply hated Qin Hui, so they made him and his wife kneel forever at the gate of Yuewang Temple, to be scorned by the people," Su Jiahe said. "They even created a famous couplet: 'Green mountains are lucky to bury loyal bones, while white iron is innocent to cast treacherous ministers.'"

"Almost every tourist who comes here will spit at them. I spat at them twenty years ago. Come on, you guys." Wang Mang pulled Lu You over.

Lu You stared at the kneeling statue of Qin Hui, his fists clenched, his eyes turned red, his teeth chattering, and he did not speak for a long time.

"Forget it. General Yue has already died in vain. What's the point of taking revenge on a pile of tin?"

"That makes sense," Wang Mang said thoughtfully. "How about Jiahe, take out your summoning card and call Qin Hui and his wife over. Let's teach them a lesson."
