Chapter 008: Fireworks go down to Hangzhou in March
The river is surging, and the boats shuttle on the busy blue waves, showing the prosperous scenery of the land south of the Yangtze River since ancient times.
A Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that crosses the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and its terminus is Yuhang. In a few days, Li Qian's merchant ship had already entered the canal waterway in the Suzhou-Hangzhou section, and it would not be long before he reached his destination.
This is a three-story building ship, dozens of miles of waterway, with the speed of a giant boat in a few moments, the city of Hangzhou in the distance seems to be close in front of you. As for how Li Qian was able to get on such a boat, he didn't have to pay the travel fee, it was due to his fame of the two Jinshi.
On the canal, there are too many large and small banknote wharves, and a Jinshi can be escorted on a merchant ship, which can save a lot of trouble. First of all, you don't have to pay taxes, and secondly, you can avoid routine inspections along the way, which can be described as a lot of benefits.
On the top floor, Li Qian wore a square scarf and a brocade shirt, standing on the bow of the boat in the wind, and the brocade clothes on his body fluttered in the wind, looking like a "beautiful son ------of the world", at least he thought so.
Behind him, he is naturally a pair of pretty girls who are almost carved out of a mold regardless of figure and appearance. The two of them look cute and cute, and they look very eye-catching on this ship.
Li Qian felt that he was actually very low-key. If other young people have such a family identity as him, in terms of clothing, I am afraid that it will be a little more glamorous than now, and it will definitely be a freshly dressed and angry horse, with five people and six people, for fear that others will not know that they have money and status, and they will deliberately show off everywhere.
Oh people, it's better to keep a low profile------
Standing on this height, you can see the scenery along the canal and the prosperity of Hangzhou City. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who spent a lot of effort to dig and dredge the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and even because this canal consumed too much manpower and material resources, forcing the subjects of the whole country to pull the flag and rebel, and finally let the Li Tang Dynasty take the opportunity to overthrow his rule and occupy his great country------
The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, which is probably the case.
Yang Guang painstakingly made out the canal, he did not enjoy a few times, but to the future generations to bring great benefits, just look at the prosperity on both sides of the canal, you can know how many people along the canal benefited the people along the canal. It is true that he is a tyrant and a faint king, but the benefits he brings to future generations are also a lot.
Standing at the bow of the boat in the wind at this moment, Li Qian felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and even wanted to have a Titanic-style flying action, but unfortunately there was no beauty beside him------ the two maids were too young, and he didn't feel much about the little girl------
The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly.
Ming Dynasty officialdom, goodbye, never again!
The warm spring sun shines on the face, making people feel extra comfortable. Li Qian put one hand on the woodcarved railing, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and joy in his heart, and recited loudly: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun ------"
"Ah, the young master is going to recite poetry!"
Zi Pei behind him immediately clapped his hands and smiled, Zi Jin was also smiling, blinking and waiting to hear Li Qian's next words.
When Li Qian heard this, he became a prank, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he continued to read: "Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng is so big that it needs two barbecue grills; One secret, one slightly spicy. Come to a bottle of snowflakes, let's brave the end of the world! ”
“------”
The sisters were dumbfounded, this style of painting doesn't seem to be right------ barbecue? Secret? Slightly spicy? Snowflakes?
However, from the analysis of what "can't be stewed in one pot", they can all guess that what the young master reads is definitely not a good text, and when the Confucians in Hangzhou City chant poems, they have never used words like this at all.
Wouldn't it be too vulgar to use such words and sentences?
"What? Do you think that the young master is vulgar and deviant, and he doesn't look like a scholar? ”
Li Qian looked back and smiled, not caring too much about how the "revised" version of "Getaway" he read out would arouse criticism from others. After all, just after the spring festival at this time, even those who failed the list would not leave Beijing so quickly, and there were very few literati on this ship, so there should not be many people who could understand.
Unexpectedly, it was a coincidence that a few literati who had just come up listened to it, only to hear one of them shouting angrily: "Where did the arrogant boy dare to make such a ridiculous statement, it is really insulting!" ”
"Brother Ziyang is reasonable, the face of my generation of literati has been lost to such arrogant people!"
"That's right, this kind of madness can be compatible with Shilin? Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor------"
“------”
Li Qian didn't expect that he just casually read two funny sentences of "Getaway", which really provoked the stern condemnation of these readers, and named himself a "crazy student", which was really not depressed.
What the hell is going on with you?
Zhuangzi and his old man's coffin board haven't been bounced open yet, so you need to this idleness?
But in any case, it is indeed my own fault in this matter. After all, it was an era when culture and education were prevalent, and this alternative remark would inevitably attract criticism and make the scholars unhappy. Fortunately, it is only Zhuangzi who is "humiliated" now, if he changes the rhetoric of Confucius and Mencius, and is used by himself to fool around, I am afraid that the government will not be able to tolerate himself.
At that moment, Li Qian had no choice but to turn around and arch his hand at those people, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really making disrespectful remarks, and I hope that you can make a statement or two, and forgive me!" ”
"Hehe------"
A sneer came out, and a young man who had not spoken out in the crowd took two steps forward at this time and said arrogantly: "I also said that you boast that you are extraordinary, so you arrogantly plan to tamper with the saint's scriptures, and it turns out that you are just an impetuous boy who can only talk about it!" That's it, I'm a literati and a gentleman, so I won't bother with you, a clown. Hangzhou City is not a place where everyone can come to be wild and presumptuous, and I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds! ”
Li Qian glanced at him a few times, and found that this person was not old enough to have a weak crown, and he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but unfortunately he had thin lips and thin eyes, and he was born with a sinister and mean short-lived appearance.
At this moment, the other party's eyes are looking at him "affectionately", but what is revealed in his eyes is full of disdain, and his whole body exudes a proud aura, and his slightly immature face looks very ------ and untwitched?
This person was also wearing a brocade dress.
It's just that the outfit of the freshly dressed angry horse is extremely extravagant, as if it is showing his family background. The clothes he is wearing now look a little small in front of him.
Li Qian just smiled generously, and then turned back, too lazy to pay attention to these gentlemen. Zi Pei looked dissatisfied, and muttered quietly beside him: "What kind of person is this, our Li family is also one of the best people in Hangzhou City, why should you let him dictate in front of you, young master!" ”
Zijin beside her tugged at the corner of her clothes and motioned her to close her little mouth and stop causing trouble for the young master. She didn't care, and took two steps forward and said to Li Qian: "Young master, you are too good-tempered, why don't you help you scold him?" ”
Li Qian was happy, stretched out his hands and pinched her little face that seemed to be so tender that it seemed to be able to get out of the water with a pinch, and laughed softly: "It's just a trivial matter, you can't make a mistake with them." Hey, we're going home soon, hurry back to the cabin and get ready, we should get off the ship. ”
After the words fell, regardless of Zipei's dissatisfied protest, Li Qian rubbed her hair again, messed up the double bun on top of her head, and led the two sisters to turn around and leave. The spring breeze on the bow of the boat slowly blew the hem of his shirt, leaving only a chic back for everyone.
"It's a wonderful couple!"
Looking at the back of the two maids following Li Qian leaving, the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses praised loudly, and then called an entourage on the side, and commanded in a low voice: "After going ashore later, you quietly follow them and inquire which son-in-law this is, understand?" ”
"Yes, young master."
The little servant agreed, and sneakily chased in the direction of Li Qian's master and servant.
A young man who was also no more than twenty years old came up to him at this time and smiled ambiguously: "Brother Zhao is so Yaxing, didn't you fall in love with that pair of maids?" Tsk------ it's indeed a pair of stunners! ”
"Hey------
When everyone in the entourage heard this, they all let out a burst of ambiguous laughter.
Another young man also came over at this moment, also smiling very ambiguously, and said with a very pig expression: "It is indeed a pair of lovely girls------ tsk, Brother Zhao is really good eyesight, do you need to make a contribution to help you win them?" ”
"Duh! Don't mess around, I think this person has an extraordinary background, and I think there is also some background in Hangzhou, don't act rashly! ”
The young man who was just called "Brother Ziyang" reminded him out loud at this time, and the young man known as "Brother Zhao" also nodded lightly, deeply agreeing with this.
It's just that what comes to his mind the most at this time is not the background of the "crazy student", but the smile of the two dexterous maids who look exactly the same. Thinking deeper, it is the beautiful scene when the two of them lie under themselves, gracefully acknowledging joy------
As soon as I thought of this, my stomach was full of lust, and I secretly said in my heart: "Hmph, when I find out your details, there will naturally be a way to force you to comply!" ”
A gust of wind blew through his delicate but somewhat immature cheeks, and blew a few strands of hair on his sideburns, revealing a face with a somewhat gloomy atmosphere------
The spring breeze in March is refreshing and intoxicating.
