Chapter 352: A Glance at the Qinhuai River

When Su Chen came out of the palace, his back was not sweating, and he was stared at by Emperor Zhou E's eyes in the palace, patrolling back and forth between him and Zhou Jiamin, making him feel a little like his adultery was discovered.

It was a fourteen-year-old girl, and she had been seduced by herself, so that she was fascinated by her talent and charm, and secretly made a lifelong decision.

This kind of relationship has a purpose, so Su Chen is a little weak-hearted.

was targeted by the wise Zhou Ehuang, and obviously felt her taste of questioning.

Fortunately, Su Chen responded fluently, behaved decently, and showed a talent, with excellent medical skills, not only for the great queen's life-saving grace, but also for his poetry and drama fans, so Da Zhou reluctantly acquiesced, did not attack on the spot, and beat the mandarin duck.

However, because of the special status of the Zhou family, Zhou Zong's title is very high, and he has done Shangshu left servant and subordinate servant Lang in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Tongping Zhangshi, and Zhenrunzhou, Ningguo Jiedu envoy, etc., posthumously awarded the title of marquis, and his status is extraordinary. In addition, the eldest daughter Zhou Ehuang is the queen of the Tang Dynasty today, and her mother is the world, these two girls Zhou Jiamin naturally have a noble status, which is not comparable to the daughters of ordinary powerful families.

Therefore, Su Chen hooked up with Zhou Jiamin in the case of having a fiancΓ©e, as a sister, Zhou Ehuang, is indeed a little uncomfortable, and has a little prejudice against him, at least until Su Chen wins the champion, he has some fame and title in the court, and he can only consider his marriage with his sister in a few years, neither can he be a concubine, nor can he enter the door late, otherwise, he feels that his sister has suffered a loss.

Su Chen avoided this headache for the time being, left the palace in a car, and drove on the bustling streets of Jinling City.

Pengfu is in the southwest area of Jinling City, and the business area of Qinhuai River is located in the southeast, the carriage passed the Zhusi Yamen, and when it has not yet arrived at Zhenhuai Bridge, Su Chen shouted to stop Bai Lang and asked him to drive left, pass through Silk City, Guozijian, and come to the area of Changle Bridge.

This is the commercial area of the Qinhuai River, along the river there are many green buildings, many shops and foot vendors on the streets on both sides of the river, shouting and selling.

Some merchant ships unloaded here, including pearl agate, spices and jade from Fanbang in the Western Regions, ivory feather fans, strange and strange berth products, melons and fruits from the Lingnan area, Khitan animal skins, and rare items from the northwest, all of which were unloaded here, and some ships came from Runzhou City.

In the river, there are a lot of delicate painting boats, which are swaying slowly on the river surface back and forth, and from the painting boats, you can hear the sound of the piano and flute orchestra, as well as the singing voice of the Qingqi people.

β€œ...... The soul of the dark country, chasing travel thoughts, night and night, good dreams leave people to sleep. Mingyue Lou is alone in his rest, and the wine is sad and turns into lovesick tears..... Turn into lovesick tears! ”

Someone was singing "Su Curtain" written by Su Chen on the Xu Mansion in Runzhou, and Su Chen smiled indifferently after listening to it.

Many Song words have been exposed in advance, if these ancients knew about it, would they climb out and form a group to scare him!

Su Chen stood at the head of the bridge, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, watching the Qinhuai River flowing gently and moving eastward, this river has lasted for thousands of years, making the ancient city of Jinling full of literati atmosphere.

Since the Six Dynasties, it is the place where the wang clan lived, the merchants gathered, the literati gathered, and Confucianism flourished, known as the "gold powder of the Six Dynasties".

At present, there is no Confucius Temple here, because the Confucius Temple is the first year of Jingyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1034) on the expansion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty School Palace, because of the worship of Confucius, so it is also called the Confucius Temple.

In the third year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (337), the imperial court proposed that "governing the country and focusing on cultivating talents" proposed by Wang Dao, the founding father of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and established the Taixue Palace on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. At that time, there was only a school palace, and no Confucian temple was built.

As for the three major buildings of Confucius Temple, Xue Palace, and Gongyuan in Jinling City in later generations, as well as the scenery of Zhaobi, Panchi, Archway, Juxing Pavilion, Kuixing Pavilion, etc., they were all rebuilt in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Guozijian is on the north bank, Taixue is on the south bank, and it is adjacent to Wuyi Lane......" Su Chen stood at the high point of the arch bridge, looked at the place on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, understood it, and made an accurate judgment.

The land he plans to buy is on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, because the place on the other side of the pontoon bridge is far away from the Zhusi Yamen in the west, and it is also far away from the armory and capital courtyard in the east, which belongs to an ordinary market area, and on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, there are Wuyi Lane, there are Taixue, and there are some mansions where the court officials are located, and the land is very expensive, but the north bank of the river has not flourished for the time being, and the land is easy to buy.

Jing Yun walked over and said with a smile: "Master Su, are you going to visit the Qinglou?" It's okay, you don't have to just look at it like this, think about it, go if you want to, I will never talk to Sister Qinqing when I go back! ”

Su Chen couldn't cry or laugh, he was thinking about developing his entertainment career, and he was regarded by the children as he was yearning for the Qinglou to have fun.

"Go aside, where do you think of it, is your son-in-law so yearning for the Qinglou!"

"Childe, I really won't tell Sister Qinqing!" Jing Yun was more honest, he thought that this was Su Chen still testing his loyalty.

"......" Su Chen couldn't explain clearly, and turned around and returned to the car directly; The terrain that should be seen has been roughly seen, and the hour is not early, and it is close to dusk, so I will go home.

When he arrived at Peng's mansion, the carriage entered the courtyard, and Peng Jingqing, who was waiting in the front hall, saw Su Chen coming back, and walked to the courtyard to question him with a grudge on his face.

"Why did you come back, as soon as you go out, it's a whole day, and you don't take me with you, it's too unusual."

Su Chen explained: "I didn't go to the yamen of the Criminal Department in the morning, pick up Liu Dong, Jiang Tao and others to Fengming Tower to eat and drink, and set up a banquet for them to suppress the shock, and in the afternoon I went to the palace to visit the illness of the second prince and the queen, but I didn't go out to play alone." ”

"That's it?" Peng Jingqing was a little suspicious.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, ask Jing Yun!" Su Chen found a witness, which can prove his innocence.

Peng Jingqing's eyes glared at the fourteen-year-old boy and asked, "Jing Yun, you say!" ”

Jing Yun nodded violently beside him and said, "My son-in-law, I really didn't go to the Qinglou!" ”

"Qinglou?" Peng Jingqing was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, stared at Su Chen and said, "It's so dignified, what did he do with Qinglou?" Say, did you go to the Qinglou, and then let him keep it secret and not say it. ”

"......" Su Chen was a little speechless, what a messy answer and analysis!

"Nothing else, don't listen to this kid's upside down. After coming out of the palace, we just stopped in the area of Changle Bridge for a while, I stopped to look at the landform on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and planned to choose an address and build a restaurant, which will gather catering, entertainment, bathing, sauna, pai gow, groceries for sale, etc.; I have thought of the name in advance, it is called "Spring Breeze Smile Building", taken from Meng Jiao's poem "Dengke": "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day", which has the meaning of spring breeze! Su Chen patiently explained.

"Oh, I see!" Peng Jingqing actually didn't believe that Su Chen would go to the Qinglou in his heart, because his talent and conduct attracted the admiration of too many beautiful women, but he maintained the courtesy of a gentleman, did not go beyond the bounds, and took advantage of women. Therefore, you should not be interested in the rouge vulgar powder of the Qinglou.

Su Chen saw Peng Jingqing with one hand behind his back, seemingly holding a few invitations, so he asked curiously, "What post are you holding in your hand?" ”

Peng Jingqing shook the post in front of him with his left hand at this time, and said with a smile: "It's some Jinling magnates and wealthy families and Shilin Qingliu who want to hold a poetry meeting on the night of the Qiqiao Festival, this is an invitation sent by them, and they plan to invite you to participate in the poetry meeting!" ”
