Chapter 360: Drinking and Having Fun
Pear blossoms are like snow grass and smoke, and spring is on both sides of Qinhuai; A makeup building is covered by the water, and the pink shadows of every house shine on the cicadas.
The night view of the Qinhuai River has been famous since ancient times, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, how many literati and rioters stopped here, inscribed poems and words, and praised it.
At night, the Qinhuai River appears more secluded, with all kinds of exquisite painting boats floating on the river, hanging red lanterns, floating on the river. The river reflects the water pavilion, the silk and bamboo are accompanied by the breeze, and from the passing painting boat, there will be the sound of piano, singing, laughter, and fist strokes, which is very lively.
Although there is a minister's mansion on the shore, or some elegant buildings, there are poetry clubs, but they are all places where scholars and ladies gather. At this time, most of the people who played on the painting boat were some powerful sons and brothers, rich businessmen, etc., and invited some Qinglou singers to have fun, Yingge Yan danced, and they were drunk with gold.
Su Chen stood on the bow of the boat, feeling this state of Jinling people's drunken dreams and death, and couldn't help but think of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's "Park Qinhuai", and read it softly: "The smoke cage is cold and the water is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night park Qinhuai is close to the restaurant." The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. ”
Many times, Su Chen did not feel the sense of crisis of imminent demise in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but had an illusion of being in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Jiangbei fell and the thirteen states were included in the territory of the Song Dynasty, this did not affect the pleasure of the Jinling officials and nobles.
"Su Chen, the wine is already warm, and the food is hot, come and eat." Peng Jingqing personally heated the wine, and the maid Huan'er prepared the dishes.
The bottom of this food box is made of iron, with a built-in charcoal fire, and a layer of water barrier on the top to store the food in the box? Still hot after an hour or two? Plus it's summer and it's hot? So when does it come out? It's still lukewarm.
Su Chen heard the sound and walked back to the cabin of the painting boat, and sat across the bank with Peng Jingqing? Huan'er stood by and served the two masters.
At this moment, Bai Lang is leaning on the rudder and drinking? Jing Yun is because it is the first time to make a painting boat? I'm very excited, and I'm learning to hold a penny with the boatman.
Peng Jingqing smiled at Su Chen and said: "The night view of the Qinhuai River is so beautiful, the long lights on both sides of the river are bright, there is no curfew on the Qiqiao Festival tonight?" That's why there are a lot of tourists! ”
Su Chen smiled and nodded: "More people are lively?" If there is no one on both sides of the strait, the lights will be blind, and it will seem deserted. ”
In his time, the commercial street of Confucius Temple in Qinhuaihe, Jinling, every weekend and holiday? But there are so many people that you can do a cruise? You have to wait in line for an hour. (Last time, the author had a deep experience!) )
Peng Jingqing smiled and said, "Eat vegetables, right?" I told the cook to prepare a lot of things. ”
Su Chen's gaze swept over the dishes on the table, it was indeed extremely rich? Because Jiangnan food is exquisite? Don't have a lot of dishes in the box? It is estimated that it is only enough for two people to eat a few bites each, but there are a lot of patterns, including meat and vegetarian, cold and hot, and there are more than a dozen dishes. It shows the characteristics of the Southern Tang Dynasty culture.
Night tour Qinhuai, boating in the river, delicious food and wine, accompanied by red sleeves and fragrance in front of you, even if you don't drink, you are drunk.
Peng Jingqing's first romantic outing with Su Chen was still on a day like the Qiqiao Festival, when there was a romantic legend of Qixi Festival, and another person occupied Su Chen, without other women around, I just felt extremely comfortable.
She poured Su Chen's wine glass full of wine, poured it for herself, and drank it to each other.
Although Su Chen drinks an average amount of alcohol, he is always a big man, and in front of women, he can't say no!
After a few cups of good brewing water fell into his stomach, Peng Jingqing's cheeks suddenly rose a blush, and his eyes were as beautiful as silk, which made her even more beautiful.
used to be heroines with a bold demeanor, and many behaviors imitated men, but at this time, Peng Jingqing has a more feminine and feminine style, enchanting and colorful, not as neutral and beautiful as before.
Sure enough, it is "a woman who pleases herself", a woman with a tomboy-like personality, gradually revealing the shyness and tenderness of her daughter's family, and she is willing to change her dress for Su Chen, and her feelings for him in her heart have become deeper and deeper.
A pot of wine was about to bottom out, and Su Chen was a little dizzy, but Peng Jingqing's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he drank, and he didn't even look happy. Only then did he remember that Peng Jingqing used to drink a lot of jars, and she could drink more than her father, but recently she was afraid of the image of a girl and was strictly controlled by her father, so she didn't drink more.
"No, I'll get drunk if I drink it again." Su Chen directly admitted it.
"That's not going to work? It's a short time! ”
"I really tried my best." Su Chen disarmed and softened.
Peng Jingqing was dissatisfied: "The old lady is not happy yet!" ”
Su Chen said helplessly: "But I feel that my limbs are a little weak." ”
Peng Jingqing pleaded unrelentingly: "You are a dignified man, how can you say no, you can't do it, stay with me for a while!" ”
"I can't stand it."
"Just bear with it, you can hold on for a while!"
"That's it, I'll have fun with you next time. Otherwise, I won't be able to get off the boat later......" Su Chen finally didn't agree to Peng Jingqing's request.
Bai Lang was drinking outside, but he listened to the words of the tiger and wolf coming from the cabin, and looked confused, what are these two doing inside, saying such explicit words!
At this time, Jing Yun also seemed to hear a little conversation, jumped over to this side, and was grabbed by Bai Lang's arm, and asked, "Why are you going?" ”
Jing Yun said with a serious face: "I heard that in the cabin, Su Gongzi seemed to say, if he is going to die, I will go in and see if I can help!" ”
"......" Bai Lang was a little messy in the wind.
At this moment, I heard the sound of the stern of the boat clanging, and then the boat shook violently.
Bai Lang grabbed Jing Yun's arm with one hand, and firmly grasped the rudder mast with the other, stabilizing his body and not falling into the river.
In the cabin, the three of them staggered, and their cups and saucers were all shaking and scattered on the ground.
"What happened?"
Su Chen almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was grabbed by Peng Jingqing with one hand, and came to the standard posture of a beautiful woman saving a hero.
His face was a little unbearable, he couldn't drink but even if he drank, he had an accident, and he was protected by a woman, which was really a bit embarrassing, so he rushed out of his tone and showed a man's temper!
"I was hit by a painting boat." Jing Yun replied.
Su Chen and Peng Jingqing walked out of the cabin and saw a more delicate and huge painting boat at the tail of the boat, which was rear-ended.
There were a few evil slaves standing at the splint on the ship, shouting and shouting, probably scolding "I don't have long eyes", "How can you hold the boat, are you blind?" "Is it looking for death" and other swear words, teeth and claws, as if they want to jump on this ship and beat people.
Peng Jingqing was not happy enough to drink half of it just now, but at this time he was hit by the boat, and he was verbally abused like this, so he suddenly became angry, jumped over the top of the painting boat, and landed on the other party's boat, and every slave slapped his mouth.
