Qingcheng Mountain is the place where Li Qing crossed to the Tang Dynasty, just in the north of Daojiang County, Li Qing first sent Yang Zhao back to Chengdu, and came to Qingcheng Mountain alone, where he stayed for a long time, remembering the relics of two years ago, and feeling that he was sweeping the ancestral tomb.

In the afternoon, he slipped and went to Dujiangyan, which he wanted to see two years ago but could not see.

The Minjiang River rushed south, but was stopped by a dam here, it rolled and roared and hit the dam, but encountered the diversion embankment, brushed and cut into two, straight out, the two streams of water respectively hit a strong dam, immediately obediently turned, but in another dam hit it, five times three times, the unruly temper was gradually rounded, smoothed, showing another mature charm, leisurely and slowly walking on the Chengdu Plain, moistening the land on both sides of the river, raising thousands of children.

Li Qingzhan admired Dujiangyan, as if he did not go to college when he was young, and then make up for this lesson when he was old, it has been a thousand years, things have long been wrong, he saw that it was almost noon, so he found his way to the wharf, and gradually there were more pedestrians on the road, he slowed down the speed of the horse, and the Baihuajin ferry port was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more people, and finally had to get off the horse and walk, bypassing a pile of wood, and finally saw the wharf, here is the first Tianjin of Wujin on the Minjiang River, there are many people coming and going, the flow of goods is very large, there are dozens of big ships moored on the wharf, there are passenger ships carrying people, and there are also cargo ships.

When Li Qing approached the passenger boat dock, more than a dozen young ladies soliciting customers immediately greeted him.

"Big brother, take our boat! We have stables on board. ”

"Our ship is the most luxurious, and there are orchid dances!"

"I'm the cheapest!"

More than a dozen little ladies gossiped, pulling at his clothes and refusing to let go, Li Qing was dizzy from the noise, and pointed to the little lady who was pleasing to the eye and said, "It's just you!" ”

The little lady was overjoyed, ignoring the angry eyes of the competitors, slapped away Li Qing's messy hands, and pulled him towards the dock.

Several little ladies stared at Li Qing's back with contempt, and spat hatefully: "Phew! Another one who likes to watch glamorous dances. ”

***************

The little lady pulled Li Qing all the way forward, and introduced as she walked: "Our ship is the most luxurious, only 50 people, not like they have to sit on hundreds of dead poles, but the ship is more expensive, 300 Wen, and the guest with a horse costs 500 Wen." ”

She glanced at Li Qing, and saw that he looked normal after listening to the price, not as panicked as others, and there was no excuse such as waiting for people or forgetting things, so she felt a little relieved, pointed to the big boat at the front and smiled: "That's the ship!" ”

Li Qingshun looked at her fingers, only to see a vermilion boat undulating on the shore, the boat is not big, carved beams and paintings, it is really a luxury passenger ship, get closer, but see that there are not many people sitting on the boat, there are only a dozen people, and then look at other ships, each one is crowded and stuffy, like the sardine can, even so, the black-hearted owner still thinks that the boat is too spacious, only continues to desperately stuff people, the woman's noise, the man's angry scolding, the child's cry, the sound is worrying.

"How much does it cost to ride that kind of boat?"

The little lady was willing to answer him, but she didn't hear it, and she was afraid that Li Qing would regret it, so she hurriedly led his horse and got on the boat first.

"It costs five pennies to sit on that kind of boat."

I don't know when, there was one more person next to Li Qing, I saw that he was about thirty years old, his face was thin and pale, with three black beards, his eyes were clear, his brows seemed to be unable to spread, and he always had a little sadness, he saw Li Qing's eyes were surprised, and he smiled and said: "Although the price difference between the two is huge, I would rather spend a little more money to be comfortable." After a pause, he smiled and said, "It's just that I'm in a hurry, and I still have a little money on me, can the son be willing to make up a change for me." ”

Li Qing found that this person was a little familiar, and when he heard him confess, he already had a good impression of him, so he smiled and responded: "People will always encounter difficulties outside, I will help you, I don't know how much worse you are?" ”

The man laughed, patted Li Qing's shoulder and praised: "It's really good, I only have 20 Wen on me, and I still lack a fraction of 280 Wen, so I ask Gongzi to cushion it for me, if I have a chance to see you again in the future, I will return it to Gongzi!" ”

***************

The little lady led them to the boat, and asked the boatman to get the kickback, and then went happily, at this time there were less than half of the people on the boat, but the boat boss saw that the time had come, so he no longer waited, pulled open the broken gong and shouted, untied the cable, and supported it on the bluestone with a long penny, and the passenger boat swayed away from the revetment and slowly sailed downstream.

From Daojiang County is about 100 miles away from Chengdu, it takes an hour to ride a horse, but it takes three or four hours to take a boat, the scenery on both sides of the strait is picturesque, the clear fields and green waters, the large woods are out of sight, the farmhouses are scattered in the forest, and a large white cooking smoke has floated on the roof, Li Qing suddenly realized that it was time for lunch, so he turned around and walked towards the dining room.

The ship was divided into three levels, half of which was secluded as a guest cabin and was a second class, and the other half was a galley and stables and the quarters of the ship's men; The second floor is a first-class cabin, with a large space and only 30 chairs, all of which are one-color purple rattan chairs, and the chairs are stacked with clean bedding and blankets. There are a few on each side of the chair, and there are a few fine dots on them, and a large white porcelain vase is placed next to it, and two yellow plums bloom in the bottle, so that the cabin is filled with a faint fragrance.

On the upper floor is the dining room and rest place, there are also dozens of tables and chairs, at this moment, the characteristics of the ship, the Western Regions Yan Dance is being performed enthusiastically, the drum sound is shaking the sky, the pipa plucks are like a rainstorm, Li Qing entered the door, but found that this glamorous is not the other Yan, only to see the dancer wearing narrow sleeves tights, shoulders draped red silk, big lapels, semi-naked breasts, under the crimson pleated skirt, the sound of the drum is urgent, the sharp turn is like the wind skirt flying away, this is the famous Hu Xuan dance in the Tang Dynasty.

The atmosphere in the dining room was enthusiastic, with guests clapping and clapping the table, cheering and cheering, and from time to time someone threw in a large number of copper coins and spread a thin layer of copper yellow on the dance floor.

"Brother, sit here!"

Li Qing bypassed the two of them, walked to his table and sat down, the man was overjoyed, hurriedly took a wine glass, filled him with a glass and said, "Brother, I have something I want to ask you for help!" ”

Li Qing saw that his eyes were blazing when he looked at the dancing girl, and he smiled slightly, and without waiting for him to speak, he took out the consistent money from his bag and handed it over, the man stroked his palm and laughed, "Brother knows my heart!" ”

He took the money and threw it on his shoulders, stepped to the edge of the dance floor in two steps, winked at the dancing orchid, and suddenly broke the money rope with all his strength, and a thousand copper coins splashed out of his hand like a waterfall falling, and fell all over the ground, the sound of the pipa suddenly rose, the drum beat was as fast as a galloping horse, the orchid smiled like a flower, and took three big strides in a row, next to him, the man laughed, hugged the orchid, and kissed her deeply on the chest, and the whole hall suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, and the atmosphere reached a climax.

He plucked the beaded flowers from the orchid's head, pinned them to his chest, and slowly walked back to his seat.

"Thank you brother for today!" Excitement overflowed on his face, and his forehead was already sweating.

"Brother Gao has helped me a lot, what is this little money?"

He was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "How do you recognize me?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Your eyes are quite distinctive, and they always make others feel as if they owe you hundreds of dollars, how can I forget." ”

Gao Zhandao laughed: "So Brother Li paid me back?" ”

"Is it so cheap for senior brother to do things?" Li Qingyi smiled and said: "The last time I saw you, you just came out of Wei Laoji's shop to taste wine, this time I saw you, you were intoxicated with Orchid's chest again, except for this wine and color, I don't know what is good about you?" ”

"That's naturally good money, the daughter is gone, and it comes back, and the day is too white to get drunk, and make a good poem!"

"I didn't expect that Brother Gao still had such elegance, that day I heard that Brother Gao had only studied private school for a few years, so I thought it was just a generation of killing chickens and dogs, drinking two bowls of old wine, and flirting with a few little girls on the road, that's it, but Brother Gao was a friend of Li Taibai, and he was disrespectful!"

Gao Zhandao's face flushed, "That Li Taibai came to Beijing for less than half a year last year, and he became a smash hit, I know him, but he doesn't know me, this poem is written on the wall of the Taibai residence he frequents, I like it to be unrestrained and heroic, but I only remember this sentence." ”

Li Qing picked up the wine glass and said with a slight smile: "Life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon, come!" Brother Gao, I toast you. ”

"Not bad! Not bad! That's it, I remember, Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, don't stop. ”

The two collided with each other's wine glasses, and when they drank it all, they both laughed.

At this time, the dance gradually came to an end, the guests returned to their respective places, it was time for lunch, and there began to be a group of people shuttling back and forth with food boxes, serving food to the guests, the sound of pipa and drums suddenly high-pitched, the sound of cracking silk came, and then it stopped abruptly, there was a burst of applause in the hall, and the dance performance ended.

The musician packed up his things and came out, but the orchid ran barefoot with a dance skirt, twisted Gao Zhan's knife ear fiercely, recaptured the pearl flower, and smiled back at him like a seductive smile, and then left with a red face.

Li Qing laughed: "If Brother Gao goes at this time, he will be able to hug the beauty, how about it?" Do you want me to help you? ”

Gao Zhandao only smiled, glanced at the crimson pleated skirt of the orchid and smiled: "Stay in the bright moon of the five lakes, why worry about nowhere to get a beautiful woman, although this woman is unrestrained and enthusiastic, but this place does not meet my wishes, don't go!" ”

After lunch, the two came to the deck, stretched their waists and legs and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the boat, I would have jumped into the river and pounced." ”

Li Qing saw that the river water was clear and blue, and he was also moved by the heart of winter swimming, and said with a smile: "You might as well!" After landing, we found a clean place and went down the river to swim twice, hoping that the senior brother would not be called cold at that time. ”

Gao Zhandao shook his head: "Just talk!" Such a cold day can't be taken seriously, besides, I looked for Brother Li all the way, but there was a big incident, I was wrong, and the adults didn't spare me. ”

"Is it the Lord of the Festival?"

"Yes!" Gao Zhandao looked at him carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Congratulations Brother Li, you are going to be an official." ”
