Chapter 41 Seeking Flowers and Willows
Su Xiaomei's face also turned red, after all, she was still a sixteen-year-old girl.
No matter how strong you are, you will inevitably be embarrassed when you encounter this kind of thing.
Li Chuan was a little puzzled when he saw that she was silent, and asked, "You speak, don't you look down on me?" ”
"Flutter!"
At this time, Su Xiaomei also burst into laughter, glanced at him, and said, "It's raining heavily, go back!" ”
With that, he walked quickly without looking back.
Li Chuan was dumbfounded, standing in the rain for a long time, a little unclear about the situation.
What does this mean?
If you can't do it, give me a word!
Zhao Tiezhu and Huang Tianxiang simply turned around, unable to bear to look at the young master's embarrassment.
Li Chuan is indeed a little depressed, and they all say that women's eye needles are the most difficult to figure out, but now they finally have a deep understanding. He is not a master of picking up girls, how can he guess the thoughts of his daughter's family, so he is very depressed.
I was stunned in the rain for a long time before I shook my head and went back to Zhuangzi slowly.
Although I didn't get an answer, I wasn't very disappointed.
Li Chuan hadn't thought much about the big thing of marriage, and when he said that just now, one was to see that Su Xiaomei was pitiful, and the other was how much he had a good impression of this girl, and how much he was impulsive, even if he was rejected, it was nothing.
Of course, depression is certain, after all, this thing is a bit faceless.
Back in Zhuangzi, he put the matter aside.
It rained for a day and a night, and the next morning, the sky cleared.
A few days later, Wan Youqing came to the door and asked Li Chuan to go to the Qintan River in Jinling to look for flowers and ask willows.
There was nothing to do, so Li Chuan followed.
In these years, looking for flowers and asking willows is an elegant thing, and it is talked about by people.
Li Chuan has lived two lives, and he has never been to Huajie Willow Lane, so he just took this opportunity to open his eyes.
Although Wan Youqing did not have as much silver as Li Chuan, in terms of enjoyment, he threw off Li Chuan for twenty streets.
Before going out, the guards are not counted, and there are a lot of maids and women who are waiting.
In contrast, Li Chuan only brought four family members, which was a bit shabby.
Wan Youqing wrapped a painting boat, and a group of more than 20 people went up the Yangtze River and went straight to Jiangling.
The boat is different from ordinary passenger boats, this kind of boat is not sinful, but enjoys it.
Along the river, the scenery on both sides of the river is charming, which makes people feel like they are lingering.
Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan Lao.
This is the scenery of Jiangnan, and even tourists want to retire here.
This is not only a culture, but also a true portrayal of Jiangnan.
But this kind of culture is not a good thing for the Han nation.
If everyone wants to retire in Jiangnan, how long can the world be peaceful?
Wan Youqing made fun of Li Chuan: "I said Brother Li, you are now considered a huge rich man in Jiangnan, but you are just accumulating wealth, and you have not learned to enjoy life, and you don't even have a maid around you to serve, Wan Mou is anxious for you when he looks at it." ”
Li Chuan said with a smile: "There was a maid before, but she got married a while ago." ”
Wan Youqing closed his mouth in surprise, a little bit unsure of what was going on in the world.
The maids around him can still get married, which is definitely a miracle in a big family.
However, this kind of thing is not easy for outsiders to ask much.
Wan Youqing's face twitched, and his eyes were weird.
Li Chuan took the initiative to explain: "Men and women love, human nature, I am more open to this aspect, the maid and a family are happy with each other, and the beauty of adults is in the next, and a pair of mandarin ducks have been fulfilled, don't think too much about it." ”
Wan Youqing understood, and said with some admiration: "Brother Li is the real gentleman." ”
"But this year, a true gentleman has no future."
Li Chuan said leisurely: "The sage advocates the way of a gentleman, but if you look at today's officials and scholars, how many are there really righteous gentlemen?" In their eyes, saints are nothing more than a fig leaf to cover up their selfishness. Because they know that there is no market for a real gentleman, so no one wants to be a gentleman, after all, people are selfish! ”
Wan Youqing changed his face and said, "Brother Li is cautious. ”
If this word spreads, I don't know how many people will be offended.
Li Chuan said indifferently: "What do I have to be afraid of, anyway, I am not an official, who can bite me?" ”
Wan Youqing said: "Before the thieves attacked Lijiazhuang at night, this matter must not be considered!" ”
Li Chuan sneered and said: "As long as the government doesn't come forward to arrest me, I will continue to follow those shady methods, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will return them one by one, otherwise people will think that my surname Li is a good bully." ”
Wan Youqing sighed and did not persuade again.
Some topics cannot be continued with different concepts.
In the minds of most businessmen, harmony and wealth are the dogma of life.
But for Li Chuan, if there is no external intervention, the Ming Dynasty will die sooner or later, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the Central Plains, the Han people will become slaves, and he still has nothing to scruple about, but he must follow his own heart, and he doesn't want to let himself live too aggrieved.
When the boat arrived at Jinling, Li Chuan finally had the opportunity to visit the largest capital city in the south of the Yangtze River.
The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties of Jinling, whether it is economic and political, cultural and architectural specifications, has reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with the north, the prosperous and prosperous Jinling is simply a paradise.
In contrast, the north is like hell.
The separation of a river has caused a huge difference between the north and the south.
This difference is not only a geographical, economic, and military difference, but also a cultural one.
Compared with Jiangyin, a bustling commercial town, Jinling is a little thicker.
This is the cultural center of Jiangnan, and the literary style is prosperous, far from being comparable to Jiangyin District and a county.
As the saying goes, there are as many people reading as a dog on the streets of Jinling, the plaques in the restaurants, the down-and-out scholars in the teahouses, and even the vendors who set up stalls on the streets, all seem to have a strong literary atmosphere.
The people who live here seem to have been infected with the culture of Jiangnan since they were born.
This is a symbol of national culture, but also an invisible shackle.
Li Chuan likes Jinling, but as a northerner, he rejects this unenterprising culture from his bones.
The goods in Jinling City are dazzling, and people who see them are dazzled.
There are some things that will not be seen in the future generations, and Changzhou Mansion will rarely be seen, Li Chuan is happy to see the hunt, wandering all the way, and buying a lot of things, while Wan Youqing is rushing to pay on the side, and Li Chuan also let it go.
After shopping for a long time, one of the two family members carried a large bag.
At night, the Qintan River is brilliantly lit, and there are constant songs and laughter.
In the wine and gold fans, the men of the Ming Dynasty were lost in the tactful moaning of the girls.
Li Chuan followed Wan Youqing and boarded a painting boat.
Wan Youqing obviously comes here often and is very familiar.
After saying hello to the old bustard, he took Li Chuan to a luxurious and quiet warehouse.
"The girls here are very nice!"
Wan Youqing said with a smile: "I came to the top brand a while ago, and I heard that this woman is both unique in color and art, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to see it." However, I heard that this woman is still in perfect condition, if this is the case, Brother Li must not miss the good night. ”
Li Chuan said in disbelief: "Is there really a saying that you don't sell your art?" ”
Wan Youqing nodded and said: "Wind and dust woman, how can you say that you don't sell your body, if you are favored by the powerful, how can you be spared." However, the people who come here are more or less reserved, and few people do the thing of burning the qin and cooking the crane, and if the girls do not want to, they rarely force them, so that some girls can hold themselves in chastity. ”
Li Chuan shook his head and said, "That is the case, how can it be difficult to be strong below." ”
As he spoke, the bustard had already led a girl in.
Li Chuan only glanced at it, and he was stunned.
