CHAPTER XXVIII
In this way, they slept in the open air, day and night, and it didn't take long for the three of them to enter the territory of Yingtianfu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yingtianfu, also known as Nanjing, is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and is also the political, economic and cultural center of the Jiangnan region and even the whole country. Seeing the singing and dancing along the way, Wu Nong's soft words were all in his ears, and it was not far from Hangzhou, Shangguan Hongyang's nervousness and vigilance gradually subsided, and he began to eat in the hotel normally. It's just that the tastes of the three are very different. Shangguan Hongyang had been trained in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations and preferred sweets; Xiang Wan was deeply influenced by Hebei Hebei cuisine and tended to be fragrant and delicious; while Ling Hu'an grew up in the countryside in the northwest and had the characteristics of the Shaanxi and Gansu generation of food flavors, and was accustomed to eating meat in large gulps and advocating strong and spicy food. The three of them often quarrel over what to eat at the table in the restaurant, attracting the attention of the guests, but they are still unaware.
It's summer. After lunch, the sun was shining and there was not a single wind in the air. Even the trees on both sides of the official road have lost their lively and swaying demeanor, their branches are all hanging low, and the leaves are curly. In the final analysis, Xiang Wan is still just a delicate woman after all, and Ling Hu'an is still young. Shangguan Hongyang didn't dare to take the two of them to rush in this extremely hot weather, in case of heat stroke along the way, it would be a big trouble. So he led the two of them to a clear river. Under a dozen huge willow trees, the shade of the trees is connected, and it is shady. The three of them fastened their horses, and as soon as they rested in the shade of the trees, the hot sweat on their bodies immediately subsided. Ling Hu'an sat bored, looked into the distance for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Brother Hongyang, look, what are those people doing?
Shangguan Hongyang didn't even bother to open his eyes, and said disapprerovitously, "That's swimming." ”
Ling Hu An's voice trembled a little in fright, "Swimming? The fort of tranquility where we live is located on the edge of the Yellow River, and many people drown in the river every summer because of careless swimming. My parents never allowed my sister and I to go to the Yellow River alone to play, and if we did, we would go together as a family. ”
Shangguan carried forward and said, "Now that I'm in Jiangnan, I can't swim anymore." There are ditches, rivers, harbors, rivers and lakes everywhere, and if someone hits you from the waterway, for example, a big hole is cut in the water of Taihu Lake, what will you do? ”
Ling Hu'an pondered, "This is also a problem. Even if I am the best in the world in martial arts in the future, if I can't swim, I'm afraid I can only dominate in the north. Otherwise, while there is nothing to do now, promote my brother, and you will teach me to swim, right?"
Shangguan Hongyang was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly, "Enter my hub!" but pretended to be serious and said, "You think it's quite beautiful." Swimming is one of the six great skills of my Shangguan family, and its "36 styles of dog planing" enjoy a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and people say that "there are many tricks, like the speed of a turtle." However, if you are willing to ask me to promote my senior brother, I can teach you a few tricks as appropriate, considering the need for harmonious relations between senior brothers. "After Shangguan promoted Linghu Chong as a teacher, Linghu An kept shouting in private that he wanted to be Shangguan's senior brother, saying that the first one to start is the greatest. However, Shangguan Hongyang believes that Ling Hu'an did not officially join the Huashan faction, he is a private artist, and there is no record in the genealogy of the Huashan faction, so he is not an official disciple of the Huashan faction, not only can he not be called a senior brother, but he is not even qualified to be a junior brother. Ling Hu'an had no choice but to cry with a sad face, and begged his father to repair a letter to the head of the Feng sect as soon as possible, and listed himself on the wall of the Huashan faction, lest his father accept disciples in the future, and he couldn't distinguish between the elders and the young. Although Ling Hu Chong agreed on the spot, the time node for Ling Hu An to officially join the Huashan faction fell behind Shangguan Hongyang after all. Ling Hu'an was sullen about this, and kept calling Shangguan Hongyang as his elder brother, even if he didn't call him senior brother, he also had an element of anger in it, but he also knew that he was messing around and making trouble unreasonably. Since Shangguan Hongyang promised to teach him to swim, he got off the donkey and said, "Okay, senior brother Hongyang, my good senior brother, let's go." Xiang Wan looked in his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't break it. Shangguan Hongyang arched his hand to Xiangwan to express his gratitude, and then took Ling Hu'an's little hand and laughed.
