Chapter 425 Qinhuai River

The Qinhuai River, known as the land of mist and moon in the Six Dynasties, and the place where gold powder gathers, has become a major scenic spot in Nanjing.Anyone who has been to Nanjing has never failed to visit the Qinhuai River, just like visiting the Great Wall in Beijing.

The Lord of the Wild Begonias, the fleet of warblers, the most famous of the Qinhuai River is probably this flower boat.When you come to the Qinhuai River, if you don’t take a flower boat, you have never been to the Qinhuai River.Every night, the banks of the Qinhuai River are brightly lit, and a row of flower boats are leaning against the bank. There are red lanterns hanging on the bows of the boats, illuminating the entire river red.

That night, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, a group of people were walking along the bank smilingly, led by a young son.This person is holding a folding fan in his hand, and the inscription on it can be seen by the light, which is Wen Zhengming's own handwriting.Wearing a gown made of high-quality su brocade, with a gleaming gold-inlaid jade belt around his waist, and deerskin thin-soled fast boots on his feet, he looked like a rich man from a certain family.

Behind the young master, more than a dozen guards followed, all with knives on their waists, their faces were very serious, and they looked around from time to time.This young son is none other than Emperor Tianqi who just came back from Yangzhou.

Beside Emperor Tianqi were also two young sons, dressed as literati, holding folding fans in their hands, introducing them to Emperor Tianqi as they walked. [

"Brother Bai, the Qinhuai River is the most worthwhile place in Nanjing. Not to mention the beautiful scenery, the flower boats on this river are a must!" dress up.

"That's right! Brother Peng is right! The Qinhuai River is indeed worth visiting. Brother Bai is in the north. This is a good thing in the south. You must try it!" Another boy quickly echoed, his body and That person was also wearing a long silk gown.

Nodding with a smile, Emperor Tianqi also had a very happy face. These two are friends he just met.Now they are all studying at the Guozijian in Nanjing, but they are familiar with the Qinhuai River at a young age.

"Brother Wu, Brother Peng, I'm new here, and I don't know much about this place, so please give me some advice!" Emperor Tianqi cupped his hands at the two of them, and said politely.

The taller of the two was named Peng Sunyi, and the shorter one was named Wu Fanchang. They were very familiar with the ground in Nanjing.Emperor Tianqi happened to get acquainted with these two people so that he would not have to chat in Nanjing.

"Bai Xiandi is very polite. Judging by his attire, he doesn't look like someone who has never seen the market. You must be used to seeing this in the north, but some of our brothers are out of line!" Peng Sunyi smiled and cupped his hands at Emperor Tianqi, his face Although there are merits in the speech, the words are very modest.

Smiling and shaking his head, Emperor Tianqi looked up at the moon in the sky, rubbed his stomach, and said, "You two, it's already this time, let's find a flower boat! Let's have some supper on it, my brother is a little hungry Already!"

"Going boating under the moon, drinking wine with your heart, accompanied by beauties, silk and bamboo around the beam, must be a happy thing in life. Since Brother Bai Xian has such an elegant mood, we brothers should be respectful and obedient!" Wu Fanchang clasped his fist at Emperor Tianqi, with a smile on his face. Said with joy, although the words are polite, but the meaning is only one, this Emperor Tianqi pays for it!

Originally, he didn't intend to let these two people pay for it. Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile, turned his gaze to Chen Lin, and said with a smile: "Go find a boat and hire it! Today, my son is going to meet the two Jiangnan people. Cai Jun has a drink!"

"Yes, my lord, please wait!" Chen Lin saluted respectfully, led two guards, turned around and walked towards the river not far away.

Wu Fanchang and Peng Sunyi glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled wryly at the same time, as expected, they are the sons of everyone, and they do things differently.Judging by his demeanor and his style of acting, it is not something ordinary people can have.

After a short time, Chen Lin walked back quickly, saluted Emperor Tianqi with a smile, and said in a respectful tone: "My lord, the boat has been found, please come aboard, my lord!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi said to Wu Fanchang and Peng Sunyi on one side: "You two, the other side is ready, shall we go?"

"Okay, let's go! Brother Baixian, please!" Peng Sunyi also had a smile on his face as he said a gesture of invitation to Emperor Tianqi.

The three of them walked forward together, and saw a boat not far away, but they were a little surprised.It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the boat, it's just that the boat is too big, it can be five or six battles in length, and there are three small buildings on it, which looks antique.There are wind chimes hanging on each corner, and with the breeze blowing, there are bursts of pleasant bells.

In the middle of the second floor, a large plaque hung there. Before the three of them boarded the boat, they saw the plaque with three large characters on it: Deyilou.

Looking at the plaque for some unknown reason, the Emperor Tianqi was about to speak, but he heard Peng Sunyi sighed: "Bai Xiandi is really a big hand, this Deyi Building is one of the best in the Qinhuai River, I didn't expect Xiandi to buy it here Yes, big money, really big money!"

Slightly taken aback, Emperor Tianqi naturally didn't understand what was going on, and said to Peng Sunyi with a bit of hesitation on his face: "Brother Peng, why did you say that? This is just a flower boat, how could Brother Peng be so surprised?"

"Brother Bai Xian doesn't know something, although this Deyi Building is a flower boat, but this flower boat is not ordinary. The size of the boat is one of the best on the Qinhuai River, and there are a hundred girls in it, and it is also the best on the Qinhuai River!" Peng Sunyi looked at Huachuan Deyilou said expectantly. [

Nodding thoughtfully, Emperor Tianqi's expression kept changing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is drunk with money!Living these days like this, no wonder Daming will become history later.Looking at the thriving business on the river, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but think in his heart, let's charge you a little business tax for entertainment venues, see if you can still laugh!

"Brother Baixian, what are you thinking?" Seeing Emperor Tianqi's absent-minded look, Wu Fanchang asked with a smile.

Seeing someone talking to him, Emperor Tianqi immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I don't understand something, I hope you two will not hesitate to enlighten me!"

"Brother Bai Xian has something to say, we will know that we can't say enough!" Patting his chest to Emperor Tianqi, Wu Fanchang took another look at Peng Sunyi, and Peng Sunyi naturally agreed with a smile!

Immediately waved his hands, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "That's not the case, I just don't understand, I have been to some places before, all of which are places like Yingchunfang and Lichunyuan. Why is this ship called Deyilou?" ? Is there any mystery here?"

The two looked at each other and smiled. No one thought that Emperor Tianqi asked such a serious question. After pondering for a while, Peng Sunyi said with a smile: "Brother Baixian is really smart, and he can see the difference at a glance. Have you ever heard of a poem?"

Emperor Tianqi and the others walked forward, and Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Brother Peng, please tell me, my younger brother would like to hear more about it!"

"Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in a poem: The past was so dirty that it was not enough to boast, but now it is full of grace; the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day! The name of this proud building is taken from the spring breeze's triumphant horseshoe disease!" Peng Sunyi said. Laughing as he walked, he pointed at the Deyi Building and said with a smile.

Standing on the spot in a daze, Emperor Tianqi's face was full of expressions, red and white at times, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, it was very complicated.

Wu Fanchang and Peng Sunyi glanced at each other, their faces were unclear, so Peng Sunyi asked suspiciously, "Brother Baixian, is there something wrong?"

Smiling and shaking his head, the Emperor Tianqi said rather regretfully: "This poem is Meng Jiao's poem when he was a Jinshi in middle school. It is a poem expressing his joy. It is the most proud thing in life. I don't know if Meng Jiao is lucky enough to see it. My own poems have been passed down through the ages, but a flower boat is used as a signboard, this poet does not know how it feels!"

Wu Fanchang glanced at Peng Sunyi, and the two glanced at each other, neither of them said anything.However, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In their view, being romantic and elegant is not a serious matter at all, but how could this Mr. Bai be like this?

None of the three said anything, they had already reached the bottom of the pass, and boarded the boat without stopping.

The old bustard on the boat had been waiting on the side for a long time, and when he saw Emperor Tianqi and others coming up, he immediately greeted them with a smile.Being able to charter your own ship is not an ordinary handwriting, all of them are rich or expensive people!

"Young master, please come inside, the banquet has been prepared on the boat, and the entertainment program is also ready! Tonight, all the girls in the dress are here, and I guarantee that you will have a good time!" The old bustard smiled and brought Emperor Tianqi and others inside. Go, said with a trembling shoulder.

A group of people walked inside, but no one noticed a person at the entrance of the third floor. It was a young woman with a handkerchief in her hand, looking at Emperor Tianqi and others with piercing eyes.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi and others board the ship, the girl didn't turn her head back, and said with a straight face: "Are these people? They chartered the entire ship?"

"Go back to the saint, yes! There are no other guests today. Granny Huang came up just now, and he hopes the saint can go down!" The sh girl standing behind the girl glanced out, and said in a positive tone.

The girl was still staring at Emperor Tianqi and the others, not saying anything, and she didn't turn her head to say anything to the girl.

"Saint, this Granny Huang actually let the saint down, it's really treacherous, the saint should punish her!" The sh girl couldn't help it, and said angrily, with a icy coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Grandma Huang is dead and you can't replace her. Don't take some things for granted. If you are doing this kind of thing, I will throw you into the river to feed the fish!" The girl wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, without turning her head, her voice was cold said coldly.

The servant girl standing behind quickly knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "I don't dare to be here anymore!" She said so on her lips, but deep in her eyes was full of resentment! rs! . [
