Chapter 281: The Hundred Flowers Festival

The early morning of spring, mixed with a slight breeze, has a warm atmosphere.

Chu Yu wore a middle coat and felt a little cold.

"Seventh Princess, why did you wake up so early?" As soon as Qiu Ge went out, he saw Chu Yu standing in the courtyard, so he asked in surprise.

"This rooster crows too loudly, it wakes up." , Chu Yu said lightly.

Qiuge sighed and didn't say anything more, she didn't know what to say.

"The Seventh Princess, please wait a moment, the slave maid will prepare things for the Seventh Princess." Qiu Ge suddenly remembered this, so he bowed to Chu Yu and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

What Qiuge didn't expect was that the kitchen had already laid out a steaming breakfast, and there were traces of cooking smoke in the kitchen, but there was no one in sight, but Qiuge guessed that this was Aunt Wang who went back to sleep after preparing a meal in the morning.

Qiu Ge didn't pay attention to this, didn't think too much, and hurriedly took the water to Chu Yu's room.

****

Today, Chu Yu and his party were about to go out, but Yan Ruo didn't want to follow, but Chu Yu took the initiative to take them.

"We are not very familiar with this Jiangnan, you seem to be more familiar, so I will trouble you to show us the way today." , Chu Yu said to Yan Ruo in a low voice.

Yan Ruo lowered his head and arched his hand, "Where is Madam, the task of the subordinates is to let the Seventh Imperial Concubine have fun." ”

"Hmm."

The distance to the market from here was too far, and it was naturally impossible for Chu Yu and his party to walk there, so they got into a carriage and went there.

Because Yan Ruo led the way, she was the only one riding the horse in front, while Qiu Ge and Junyang drove the carriage, and Chu Yu, Shuangqi and Qiluo sat in the carriage.

In the carriage, Shuangqi and Chu Yu sat next to each other, and Qiluo sat opposite Shuangqi.

"Master, do you think that this Yan Ruo's seems to be very different." , Frost Seven said in a deep voice.

Chu Yu smiled, "What's the difference?" ”

"I can't say it, I just think it's not an ordinary maidservant." , Frost Seven said with a frown.

Qiluo interjected, "The slave maid thinks that Sister Yan Ruo seems to be more calm than us, and like Sister Shuangqi, she is a person who does great things. ”

"Sister Yan Ruo? Kira, when did you become so familiar with her? Chu Yu raised his eyebrows.

Qiluo's face turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Today, the slave maid is digging well water in the yard, the water is too heavy, and the slave maid is difficult to lift alone, it is the slave maid she helps, and she said that the slave maid can call her Sister Yanruo in the future." ”

Chu Yu nodded knowingly, and then said, "Why did she come to the kitchen?" ”

"She seems to have something to find Aunt Wang." , Kira recalled.

Chu Yu's eyes deepened.

When the group came to the bazaar in Jiangnan, it was already time for the sun to rise and the sun to shine on the earth.

When the group got out of the carriage, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, perhaps because their group was too unique, or because they were all women, and they were all extremely outstanding in appearance and figure......

The crowd on the street was bustling, Yan Ruo walked in the front, and Shuang Qi and the others followed behind Chu Yu.

Due to their special battle, many passers-by looked at them sideways, and from time to time they talked about something with the people around them.

Chu Yu didn't care, Yan Ruo looked at the talkative people around him with gloomy eyes, and those people noticed Yan Ruo's unkind eyes and turned their heads sideways, not daring to look again.

The street scene in Jiangnan is still very different from that in Beijing.

There are a variety of goods, and the strange things are dazzling, which makes Chu Yu feel strange.

It's just that this spring in the south of the Yangtze River is really hotter than in the capital, and the faint cool breeze can't dispel the surging heat in this crowd, and Chu Yu can almost clearly smell the body odor of those people walking by.

Chu Yu was a little repulsed in his heart, but his face was impassive.

Although there were many hawkers shouting on the streets, Chu Yu could barely understand what they were shouting, and Yan Ruo took the initiative to introduce the things around to Chu Yu.

"Madam, there is a snack shop in front of you, do you want to go and see it?" Yan Ruo pointed to a vendor in the distance.

Chu Yu nodded, since he came here, he had to try the food in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yan Ruo took Chu Yu past the crowd and walked straight to the vendor, and then communicated with the vendor owner in a proficient Jiangnan language.

After a while, Yan Ruocai handed the silver to the vendor owner, and then took the sweets from the vendor owner's hand.

"Ma'am." , Yan Ruo handed Chu Yu a string of candy printed with the appearance of a cute unknown villain.

Chu Yu took it, thanked him, and then asked with a slightly surprised expression, "You actually know Jiangnan?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, my subordinates grew up in Jiangnan since they were children, and they are quite familiar with this area." , Yan Ruo smiled slightly.

Chu Yu smiled, but he didn't feel very credible in his heart.

Qiuge looked puzzled, "Then can they understand what we say?" ”

"They understand, but they don't speak very well. Gangnam sounds a bit rappy, but it's not difficult to understand. Yan Ruo explained.

Qiuge nodded, "Well, listen carefully, and then connect with the scene where they speak, you can understand." ”

"This is one of the liveliest places in the whole Jiangnan town, and there are many people in the market. Today, I happened to come across the market. Yan Ruo smiled and said again.

"Where are the other lively places?" , Qiuge's eyes flashed with curiosity.

Yan Ruo's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "The most lively place in the south of the Yangtze River is the river except for this market." ”

"It's spring, and it coincides with the melting of winter snow, coupled with a lot of rain, and the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are very lively." After a pause, Yan Ruo said again.

"Is there anything special about the river?" , Qiuge was puzzled.

"This river is not an ordinary river, every night, this river will be very lively, because there will be Jiangnan people swimming in the river to sing." , Yan Ruo explained.

"Gangnam people? How beautiful is it? Qiuge looked excited.

Chu Yu said loudly, "Since you're here, let's go and see it tonight." ”

"Wow, that's great!" Qiuge clapped his hands.

Chu Yu smiled and didn't speak, she actually wanted to see the night scene in the south of the Yangtze River.....

The daytime is spent playing in the bazaar, and the things that can be played in the bazaar, the good-looking small objects, and the delicious food are enough for Chu Yu and his party to kill some boring time during the day.

After all, after hearing Yan Ruo talk about the night scene of Jiangnan, everyone had great expectations for this night view of Jiangnan, so that they were a little interested in this daytime market.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and when Chu Yu and his party were a little tired from walking, the sun finally went down.

In order to let everyone have a good viewing angle, Yan Ruo took them to a restaurant.

The name of this restaurant is very domineering and arrogant, the first floor in Jiangnan.

The first floor of Jiangnan is located next to the river, only a small street away from the river, it is dusk, there are not many pedestrians on the street, but there are many small traders selling all kinds of things with trolleys in hand, as if they are preparing for the coming night.

The shopkeeper led them to the Accord by the window on the third floor, made them a few cups of tea, and then said, "The guest officer is slow to use, if you have something to call me", he went out.

"The first floor of Jiangnan is the highest restaurant in Jiangnan, with five floors." , Yan Ruo said respectfully to Chu Yu who sat down.

Chu Yu nodded, looked sideways at the window, and found that from her perspective, she could see the scene on the river very clearly.

"It's the third layer, but you can see it so clearly." , Chu Yu said lightly.

Yan Ruo arched his hand and said, "Yes, this is the clearest layer of the view, and the line of sight up is remote, and it is not real to see, and the view from the bottom is easy to be blocked by some obstacles, and the third floor is the best location, so the price is slightly more expensive." ”

Chu Yu smiled lightly, "This boss is really good at making money." ”

"The first floor of the Jiangnan is the property of the An family, and legend has it that the design of this floor is from the hands of An Yuanzhe, the son of the An family."

"An Yuanzhe?" , Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Then the boss behind the first floor in Jiangnan is An Youtian?" ”

Yan Ruo was slightly shocked, she thought that Chu Yu would have heard of the An family, but she didn't expect Chu Yu to understand it so clearly, she was stunned, and responded, "Yes, it's An Youtian." ”

Chu Yu bowed slightly.

"Madam, there is still some time before the party on the river, and it is just right for dinner. I don't know what Mrs. likes to eat, so my subordinates asked Xiao Er to order. Yan Ruo reminded.

Chu Yu nodded and said to Qiluo, "Qiluo, order." ”

"Yes." Kira responded.

Then Yan Ruo asked Xiao Er to come in and record the name of the dish ordered.

The food in Jiangnan is really very different from that in Beijing, and the people here are not good at heavy taste, so the dishes here are almost all light.

Although she prefers the taste of the capital, she also feels that the Jiangnan dishes have a unique flavor.

Yan Ruo was right, after they finished dinner, the rivers and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River gradually began to be lively.

There are more and more pedestrians on the small street downstairs, and the sound of people is loud, but Chu Yu's location is a little high, so he can't really hear it, and he only feels that there is a buzz downstairs.

"Is it so lively every night?", Chu Yu was a little curious.

Yan Ruo shook her head, "No, it's because Madame is lucky that she happened to run into the annual Hundred Flowers Festival." ”

"The Hundred Flowers Festival? Isn't this month still February? I don't think the flowers are in full bloom yet. Chu Yu frowned.

Yan Ruo explained with a smile, "Madame doesn't know, this is a unique custom in Jiangnan, today is the last day of February, people in Jiangnan will start to prepare for the Hundred Flowers Festival on this day, and tonight is the ceremony to welcome the Hundred Flowers Festival." ”

Chu Yu nodded, "I see." ”

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the small street below.
