The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 141

Xiao Qinzhi was forced by Mrs. Jiankang to jump into the Qinhuai River, and finally landed on Zhuquehang, hid in a small boat, changed his clothes, and transformed into a young man again.

It's a pity that there are still many enthusiastic and unrestrained beautiful women on the Zhuque Bridge, and they are still unwilling to leave. Melon and fruit sachets are thrown to the small boat, threatening that Xiao Qinzhi will never show up again, so that others can reward them, and then sink the small boat .

Hearing that Xiao Qin was terrified, he didn't even dare to show his face. Through the gap of the porthole, he took a glimpse and saw that the ship's side entered the water a few inches, and he felt very helpless. He only hoped that the servant who was going to the Shangshufu would quickly bring the people from the Shangshufu. catch.

While waiting for someone to pick it up, Xu Miao stretched out one hand and grabbed an apple tightly. While eating, holding back a smirk, he said, "Brother Qin is very handsome, and I admire him. If there is nothing left to eat in the future, just Let Brother Qin show his face, so he won't have to worry about food and drink for a few days."

Zhao Yunfei jokingly said: "Brother Xianmin, it doesn't stop there. Not only do we not work hard, we should feel honored. It was the first time in the ages that we were forced to jump into the river by a woman. Back then, Pan Yue threw fruit into the cart. "

Xu Miao said: "The car is on the ground, but we are now on the water. We are in danger, we are in danger."

Zhao Yunfei said: "That's right, I would have changed to a bigger ship if I knew it earlier."

Xu Miao glanced at Xiao Qinzhi with a half-smile, and said, "Now the whole city knows it, it doesn't matter whether you want to know it, hahaha"

yes!She didn't know what to do. Thinking of this, Xiao Qin looked embarrassed, thinking: "The first time I came back to Jiankang, I made such a big embarrassment. The key is still in front of her house. It's really embarrassing."

Wuyi Lane is located on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, with the Royal Road—Zhuque Bridge as the dividing line. Qinhuai River is ten miles to the west, and Wuyi Lane is to the east. It used to be the residence of the Eastern Wu Imperial Army during the Three Kingdoms period. Because the imperial army wore uniform black Clothing, hence the name of "Wuyi". After the Jin family moved south, Wang and Xie entered Jiankang and led their respective families and other people to live here. Later, it attracted people to follow suit, and they all settled in Wuyi Lane, and became famous day by day. in the world.

This Zhuque bridge is the Zhuque bridge in Liu Yuxi's mouth. He felt the changes of the years, the change of spring and autumn, the ups and downs, and the glory. The swallow in front of the hall flies into the homes of ordinary people."

However, the Bird Clothes Lane in the poem is more than 400 years old, with ruined walls, overgrown withered grass, and a bleak scene. Today, Bird Clothes Lane is in its heyday, and the Wang family of Langya is still very famous. The Xie family in Chenjun is about to usher in the pinnacle of family glory, and other aristocratic families in the alley are crowded together here, making the reputation of Wuyi Alley far and wide, and everyone knows it.

Wuyi Lane is not a long street, but a general term for an area. It is located in the southeast of Jiankang City, with Qinhuai River on its north and west sides, and Shizigang Mountain on its back. It is a rare and good place. After passing Langya Wang's mansion, it is Xie's mansion. Because it was the first place to live here, it occupies a large area and can stretch for half a mile. Therefore, a quiet and elegant garden is built, which is livable and pleasant. There are rockeries inside, and flowing water surrounds the mountain. The mountain is adjacent to the inner lake, and there are lotuses in the lake.

On June [-]th, at the hour of the unitary hour, at sunset and dusk, with the evening breeze passing by, on the Lintai Lake in Xie’s mansion, there were clear lotus and turbulent waves, lotus flowers chatting softly, a few dragonflies playing in the water, and a few cicadas singing. Entering the heart, the tangy fragrance of lotus fills the world, wrapped in a lotus picking boat, slowly driving in the lotus pond.

There is a soft blanket in the lotus-picking boat, and there is an elegant woman lying on it. She doesn’t wear makeup, but she looks like the morning glow reflecting the snow. Eyes slightly closed, a head of blue hair poured out at will, stretched out the side of the boat with a slender hand, touched the cool lake water, and drew a thin wave.

The chatter in Xie's mansion is becoming more and more famous. Young talents from famous families gather in Xie's mansion for nothing. The heart of the number one beauty in Jiangzuo.

It's a pity that no one has passed the test so far, but it has more and more aroused the desire to win and lose of the talents of the big clan. All means are used, or hard study, or inviting famous teachers, or repeated defeats and repeated battles, is bound to earn the top spot.

Due to the large number of participants, Xie Daoyun, a woman, was too physically exhausted to fight the Confucianists, so the Xie Mansion's talk was changed from one session per day to one session every three days.

Every chat is like a battle, and Xie Daoyun will go all out, so that after each session is over, physically and mentally exhausted, he will lie on the lotus-picking boat afterwards, let the maid lightly paddle the boat, shuttle between the lotus at will, and disperse fatigue.

When Xie Daoyun closed his eyes, he thought of the Huxin Pavilion in Jingkou, the lotus sea on Fengqi Lake, boating on Taihu Lake in Wuxi all night, the Fenghe River in Wujun and the fields at night. Immediately broken, it is daunting.

When last winter, when a blank sheet of paper came from Wujin, Xie Daoyun’s heart had never been at ease. Faced with his brother’s arbitrariness, and his own cleverness, thinking that no one would know, he quietly stopped thinking. think.

However, Xie Daoyun saw through Brother's trick at a glance, and was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He could only bury this anger deep in his heart and express his heart with practical actions.

But can that stupid goose understand?

A girl's mind is always worrying about gains and losses.

Xie Daoyun was a little uncertain, but tried to comfort herself: "You received the blank paper, but you still insisted on waiting for me in Jurong, which shows that your original intention has not changed. I gave you lotus root to tell me that I have arrived, and I will send you a pipa to cure your throat. I want to tell you that I can't contact you, but with your intelligence, you must be able to understand my intentions, and you will definitely be able to."

"But you stupid goose, why haven't you responded? With your reputation, if you write a poem casually and spread it to Jiankang, wouldn't I know it?" Xie Daoyun complained in his heart, took a long breath, and read At this point, I couldn't help being sullen, and said in my heart: "But you stupid goose, it's fine if you don't write poems for me, but you dare to write poems for Gu Yini, this girl should only exist in the sky, and it's rare to hear it in the world. Really I'm going to piss me off, when you come to Jiankang, I'll definitely want you to look good, and you'll be turned away a few times, let's see if you dare to write poems for other women, hum!"

After being silent for a while, Xie Daoyun thought again: "But why don't you come? I'm really tired. I worry every day, for fear that I won't be able to win. If I let someone else marry me, what will I do then?"

Finally sighed softly: "Tomorrow, it will be the middle of June, the lotus on Fengqi Lake must be blooming beautifully, right?"

"Yeah, for some reason, this year's lotus seems to be much prettier than in previous years." The maid at the stern of the boat replied lightly.

"I used to spend the summer in Kuaiji, when did you come to Jiankang?" Xie Daoyun asked.

"But don't all lotus flowers bloom the same? Don't they bloom differently in different places?" Qing Xu asked suspiciously.

"Hehe!" Xie Daoyun chuckled, thought for a while and said: "Once upon a time, there was a goose who said that other people's house had lotus ponds and delicacies, while his house had lotus seas, lotus leaves and lotus flowers reflecting the sun. And listen, isn't it different?"

"He must be bragging." Qing Xu said.

"Oh, how did you know?" Xie Daoyun asked.

"Little lady, think about it, he is a goose, he has been swimming in one lake all his life, how would he know how big other lakes are?" Qing Xu said.

"Hmm~ You are right, this stupid goose must be bragging." Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Qingxu, go back."

"Little lady, take a break, read every day, and you won't be afraid of getting tired." Qing Xu said distressedly.

"It's just reading, and it's not killing the enemy on the battlefield. How can you be exhausted?"

"Oh~"

Seeing that the little lady insisted, Qingxu had no choice but to support the lotus-picking boat to slowly dock. Suddenly, at the gate of the courtyard, the maid Dongling came, covering her mouth and smiling. Seeing Qingxu, she said, "Qingxu, little lady, I Just now I heard an interesting story from the concierge, I really laughed out loud."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Qing Xu urged.

"I heard from the concierge that Jiangzuo Xiao Silang, who vomited blood and passed out after being scolded by others a few days ago, just arrived in Zhuquehang, and many people went to see what Xiao Silang looked like, and blocked the royal road." Dong Ling said with joy. , as if witnessed.
