The sky was clear, the breeze was rippling and the river was sparkling, Lu Zheng stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the openness in front of him, and his mood was extremely relaxed.

He has been staying at home recently, working hard for a long time, his heart is like growing hair, as long as he stays in the room, he is inexplicably restless, and his bones are itchy.

Since he had the "boy", Lu Zheng has fewer things to take care of, and the things at home can be arranged properly if there is a shadow, and the "boy" outside is very carefully considered.

Lu Zheng's door is the inland river of Liuhe County, from where you can get on the boat and shuttle along the criss-crossed Jinling inland river, and the prosperous Qinhuai River is in front of you.

Jiangnan is so good, the waterway is developed, Jinling City takes the river as the center, the river network is criss-crossed, take a yacht, take the waterway does have a unique style.

Lu Zheng is wearing a white robe today, his demeanor is shining, the shadow is by his side, and the "boy" is disguised to hide his original appearance, he is wearing a scholar's robe, and he really looks like a scholar.

There are many talented people in Jinling, and there are many rich talents like Lu Zheng who take maids and boys to travel, so their line of work is not very eye-catching.

On the Qinhuai River, although it is daytime, the river is still full of boats, and the further you go, the more lively the river becomes.

In fact, the painting boat of the Qinhuai River has long been a different place for fireworks.

In addition to those prostitutes who are looking for flowers and willows, there are more people who read books, and scholars gather, feast, and meet friends, and the Qinhuai River is the first choice for them.

Jinling City's poetry meetings of various sizes, literary meetings are probably in the Qinhuai River, Qinhuai River's painting boats are not all businessmen and prostitutes can board it, Jinling wealthy families are extremely popular, like Lu Qian of the Lu family is famous for raising scholars, and the monks inevitably need to raise girls, therefore, there are many painting boats on the Qinhuai River behind the background of powerful and wealthy families.

Like Yangzhou, there are many levels of prostitutes in Jinling, and the annual Jinling Oiran Contest is even more eye-catching in the south of the Yangtze River, and even talented people in the capital come to visit.

"Childe, at present, the four largest painting boats on the Qinhuai River are called 'Blue Sea Liantian', which are Biyun Pavilion, Mirage Pavilion, Liancheng Pavilion, Tianshui Pavilion, these painting boats, all of which are hundreds of meters longitudinal, almost across the entire river, and these four boats occupy one side, almost cutting the Qinhuai River into four sections!" Tong Zi Dao.

He paused, and said: "But all the top painting boats, behind it must be the support of powerful and wealthy families, in addition to the wealthy families, there also need to have a large number of talented people as their loyal supporters, Jinling is talented, with the talent of the son, when it also occupies a place in this Qinhuai River." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Jinling people are really interesting, the four painting boats are named 'Blue Sea Liantian', it is said that the genius of Jinling also has a saying, called 'Li Gu Su Liu Chen Lu Ruan', these seven talents, other people don't know, but this 'Su' is Su Qing, he is my teacher, and now he is a bachelor of Hanlin."

In addition, I also know that my half-father is Lu Jun, if I also have a place, then this sentence will not be easy to read. ”

Lu Zheng laughed, and he didn't think much of the so-called Jinling genius in his heart, although there were talented people such as Su Qing among these seven people, and there were also false names that he got after spending a lot of money because he had been in the Qinhuai River for a long time.

This kind of thing was not strange in Lu Zheng's previous life, and in the self-introduction of some officials and entrepreneurs, they would always add the words "a certain degree from such and such a university", "vice chairman of such and such a literary and artistic association", and so on.

Lu Zheng has long been surprised by all these things, as for Qin Huaihe's so-called Oiran, it is the same as those stars in his previous life.

If the Oiran wants to come out, it is impossible for him to be beautiful and talented, and he must have a financier behind him, and he also needs to be packaged and hyped to have any hope of coming out.

The so-called Bingqing Yujie of those celebrities is just a character packaged by the brokerage company, in fact, in the rolling red dust, in the drunken and materialistic society, where is there still Bingqing Yujie?

The Oiran Qingqi people on the Qinhuai River are the same, the so-called Qingqi people are just a kind of packaging, the so-called Qingqi people will recommend themselves in front of the powerful and talented, only those young people who are not familiar with the world will believe in the beauty behind these packaging.

Like Lu Zheng, although he is not very old, he has been a human being for several generations and has seen all this very thoroughly, so he has little interest in the prosperity of Qinhuai River.

As for the reputation of Jinling's talents, Lu Zheng is now more down-looking than before. Lu Zheng sought fame in Yangzhou, because his situation was extremely difficult at that time, and he needed to use his fame to allow him to obtain more resources and get the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination.

And now that Lu Zheng has returned to Yingtian and has a house by himself, the township test he is going to take is completely different from the children's test, and the role of fame in the township test is almost negligible, and in this case, Lu Zheng will look down on the false reputation of talents.

Another point is that Jiangnan talents have always been regarded as arrogant and feminine in the Dakang Dynasty. Because Jiangnan is too rich, many so-called Jiangnan talents are praised in the fat powder pile of the painting boat brothel, and it is not surprising that such talents are criticized, but Lu Zheng doesn't want to carry such a reputation.

In such a state of mind, Lu Zheng visited the Qinhuai River as if he was a bystander, his mood was extremely relaxed, and it was precisely this mentality that made him different.

"Childe, the front is Biyun Pavilion, you see that Biyun Pavilion lies across the Qinhuai River, and the painting boat is built like a pavilion in the air, such carved beams and painted buildings are unique to Jinling." The boy pointed to the dense river in the distance.

Lu Zheng looked over, and sure enough, he saw that there was a huge painting boat on the Qinhuai River lying across the river, and the average painting boat was only two or three floors, but this painting boat was five stories high.

From a distance, the boat no longer looks like a boat, but like a palace with carved beams and paintings, and the weather is very good today, the boat is bathed in sunlight, and the background is the blue sky, which can really give people a shock.

"Biyun Pavilion" three words dragon flying phoenix dance, it is said that these words are the first emperor when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River to write by himself, only these three words, it shows the status of "Biyun Pavilion" in the Qinhuai River.

With "Biyun Pavilion" as the center, there are dozens or hundreds of painting boats around it, and these painting boats will guard Biyun Pavilion in the middle, which further sets off the extraordinary Biyun Pavilion.

After looking at the painting boat here, Lu Zheng thought back to the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, which was really incomparable, not on the same level at all.

"Shall we also go to 'Biyun Pavilion'?" Lu Zheng said.

"I look so far away, it seems that there are a lot of people over there, and it's very lively!"

"Hehe, naturally it's lively, today is the top brand of Biyun Pavilion, the birthday of Fan Duoduo, the first Oiran in Jinling, I don't know how many talented people have gathered! It's still daytime and night, and it's said that thousands of lanterns are placed on the river!

Miss Fan Duoduo likes Kong Ming lanterns, and there will be a lot of Kong Ming lanterns flying into the sky at night, so the scene is really huge!

Biyun Pavilion today's tariff is three times more expensive than usual, even so, people are still flocking to here, and the most prestigious 'Biyun Poetry Club' is also held today, Fan Duoduo girl is extraordinary, the most favorite poetry, but all the Biyun Poetry Club poetry first talent, will be able to get her favor! The boy talked eloquently and was very interested.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Then dare to be kind, we happened to encounter such an opportunity today, let's go and join in the fun?" ”

"But we won't go to Biyun Pavilion, let's find a painting boat nearby and feel the atmosphere up close, okay?"

Ying'er smiled and blushed, she was really excited to hear it, she was a little girl, where is Lu Zheng's experience and the city government, she was most envious of those oirans, when she was in Yangzhou that day, she admired Yangzhou's top oirans such as Qilan and so on.

And the scene in front of me, I don't know how much more prosperous than Yangzhou's Slender West Lake, such a large painting boat, on which lives Jinling's top Oiran Fan Duoduo, such a woman is the darling of thousands of talents, the same woman, how can the shadow not worship?

The master and servant drove the boat to find the dock first, and then the boy arranged, and soon found a painting boat. This painting boat is called Izumo Xuan, it is close to Biyun Pavilion, from a distance, Izumo Xuan is like a wing of Biyun Pavilion, Biyun Pavilion is full of people, but Izumo Xuan is very quiet, the three-story painting boat Lu Zheng chose to be on the top, there is not only a cabin, but also an open-air terrace, the top deck of one side makes Lu Zheng alone, this kind of place is really Lu Zheng's most satisfactory place.

Only Ying Er felt a little regretful, because Biyun Pavilion was too big, and it was also high, even on the top deck, he couldn't see the situation in Biyun Pavilion clearly, he only heard the voices of people in the distance, and only saw the talented people on Biyun Pavilion coming and going, and the stream was endless, but he couldn't know what they were doing.

There is a large cabin in Biyun Pavilion, it seems that a poetry meeting is really being held, around the large cabin in the middle, Biyun Pavilion is crowded with people from top to bottom, you can see that there are talented people on the stage to compose poems on the poetry table in the distance, and then there are cheers, noises, noises, and women's laughter.

Lu Zheng called two women to stroke the qin, the shadow was responsible for making tea, the sky was already dusk, the sunset in the distance was gradually sinking in the west, Lu Zheng looked at the prosperity in front of him, and saw the sunset on the horizon through the prosperity.

The boy called for wine and food, Lu Zheng happened to be hungry, so he ordered the boy and Ying'er to sit down and eat together, the wine was half drunk, and the shadow suddenly exclaimed "Ah......", she pointed to the direction of the painting boat with her finger, and said:

"Childe, look over there, isn't that the same year you were in Yangzhou?"

Lu Zheng raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he saw that on the poetry seat of Biyun Pavilion, a man was shaking his head and chanting poetry......
