Seeing this, Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and rode his horse to catch up, now it is bitter, but there are also big gains, one is to save time on the road, after all, the less time he spends outside in this situation, the better, and then through this long-distance horseback ride, the craft of riding a horse after two trips back and forth is completely mastered.

All the way east, there is a lustful Wu Yujun to lead the way, Xiaoxing overnight under the road is really fast, a few days of kung fu four people have been out of Shannan East Road, after seeing the Huaishui in front of a river, Tang Cheng couldn't help but follow Wu Yujun with two shouts, ***, this torturous dry road is finally over.

If you want to move the boat near the mouth of the river, the bow of the boat is offered to the gods and poured wine.

Tang Cheng hired a total of two clippers, one for him and Wu Yujun, and the other for the two captains. After getting on the boat, Tang Cheng immediately sat down, resting his legs and feet while watching with interest as the boatman did the things of sacrificing to the gods in front of the boat, but Wu Yujun didn't care about physical fatigue, and he didn't know what to do when he took his long entourage to the shore.

Burning incense, pouring wine, killing chickens, and after the boatman finished worshipping the gods, Wu Yujun also returned, but there were two women in gorgeous costumes who came with him.

"This boat is more difficult than the shore, so I want to find two boat girls to tease the boring son", Wu Yujun hooked Tang Cheng's shoulder and said: "Don't say that my brother is not interesting enough, let you choose these two first."

Bustard loves money, sister loves pretty, compared to Wu Yujun, Tang Cheng is both young and much more seen, ask this, the two boat girls even threw their eyebrows, and hoped that the little minister in front of him would choose him.

"I don't want any of them, I have to keep the good things for my daughter-in-law, you can also take it easy, don't soften your feet before you arrive in Yangzhou", Tang Cheng finished with a smile, and without waiting for Wu Yujun to say anything, he turned around and got into the cabin.

The cabin of the clipper is separated by two small and narrow single rooms with reed mats, although there is no way to stand. But it's okay to lie down and sleep, and it's really tired to be in a hurry these days, Tang Cheng covered the hatch and turned around and lay down to sleep, and Wu Yujun knocked on the hatch twice in the middle, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Tang Cheng, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by the sound of skin and flesh hitting next door, mixed with the sound of a woman moaning, to say that this woman's voice is really distinctive, just like the river of the boat. Stretch long.

Tang Cheng, who was disturbed to sleep, raised his hand and patted the reed mat vigorously, and then listened to Wu Yujun's wheezing ** voice over there: "Ah Cheng can't hold it back, come here, brother will let you."

What else could Tang Cheng do when he encountered such a superlative, he didn't even bother to reply, got up and walked out of the cabin.

Walking out of the cabin, the river breeze blowing in the fishy wetland, swept away Tang Cheng's residual sleepiness, the season was July, and the willow waves on the river banks on both sides of the Huaishui were green, exuding a burst of high-spirited vitality. This kind of scenery, coupled with the dusty blue and blue sky in front of the clipper, makes people feel broad-minded and refreshed.

"That high-ranking official has good means", the speaker was Lao Jiang, a boatman in his early fifties with a rusty face. Tang Cheng withdrew his gaze from Jiang Tianyi, and after being stunned for a moment, he realized that this boatman was talking about Wu Yujun, the clipper was not big, and the reed mat used as a shield was thin and pitiful. What else is there not to hear?

Tang Cheng didn't want to discuss such a private matter with the boatman, so he changed the topic with a smile and said, "Lao Jiang, how long have you been running the boat?" ”。

"Since I was sixteen years old and on the ship, now it's fifty-seven or forty-one years!" Lao Jiang's words were full of emotion, this section of the Erjiang River was stable, and Lao Jiang, who had put the sails, let the boat flow freely, bent down and took out a few stones from the hatch on the uncovered ship, a pot, and some other things and a big red lacquer gourd.

After you have laid them all out. Lao Jiang finally took out a tail weighing three or four catties. Still jumping carp around, cutting fish, lighting fire, boiling fish, worthy of living on the boat for more than 30 years, Lao Jiang is very skilled in doing this, and after a while, a puff of cooking smoke has floated on the river.

"Home-brewed muddy wine. Taste it! ”。 Tang Cheng took the wine bowl handed by Lao Jiang, and saw that the wine was slightly turbid. Take a sip, but the taste of the wine is stronger than that in the wine shop, and the most rare thing is that the sweet and sour taste is the most suitable for drinking in midsummer, "Good fruit wine!" ”。

"Guests who come and go will say the same thing as long as they have drunk the ground!" , Lao Jiang, who was holding the wine bowl, stroked his wine-drenched beard and laughed.

Drinking all the wine syrup in the bowl in one go, Tang Cheng didn't wait for Lao Jiang to let him go any longer, and poured another bowl of the big-bellied red lacquer gourd.

You have a bowl, I have a bowl, and after a while, I went down to half a gourd fruit wine, and watched the sunset at the west of the river and the sky in front of me reflect a residual red at the junction of the river and the sky, and the pot was already gurgling, and I saw that the river fish was about to be cooked.

Although the wine of the Tang Dynasty was pressed, it was not as high as the distilled liquor in later generations, but it could not stand drinking too much, coupled with the blowing of the river breeze, the wine surged faster, sitting on the boat, holding the wine bowl in his hand, looking at the river rolling east in front of him, and the white boatman smiling beside him, this situation only made Tang Cheng's chest linger in the opening words of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The wine in the bowl was exhausted, and Tang Cheng, who was intuitively angry in his chest and abdomen, did not pour any more wine, got up to the bow of the boat, and sang the opening words in the tone of Yang Hongji in the later generations:

Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water,

The waves sweep away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the Baiyuqiao River,

Accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.

Tang Cheng sang loudly under the urging of the wine, the first half of the que was still pure and vigorous, and the opening words of the sigh of the rise and fall of infinite life were sung impassionedly, although it was in line with the tone of the later generations, but the sentiment was completely wrong, until the second half of the time, especially when the last sentence of the series was repeated, after venting the chest because of the urge of the wine, Tang Cheng remembered that he had traveled through the experience this time back to the right path.

All kinds of things in later life, the neglect suffered when I was a teenager, the goldfish's farewell, the absurdity of crossing, the hardships of crossing the family for the first time, etc., etc., real or absurd. Life is only a hundred years, and one day this hundred years of life will disappear without a trace with this rolling river.

After singing the ending sentence three times in a row, Tang Cheng felt that the blocks in his chest had disappeared, and he took a deep breath of the fishy wetland river breeze, only to feel that his whole body had an indescribable sense of comfort and relaxation.

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, Wu Yujun opened the hatch and said, "Ah Cheng, what song are you singing, the people who listen to it are ...... in their hearts." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard someone not far from the right shouting, "Wonderful words!" It's a pity that this is the Huaishui but not the Yangtze River."

Tang Cheng, who was standing on the bow of the boat with a wine bowl in his hand, pressed his clothes that were blown up by the river breeze, and looked over with the cheers, and there was a clipper boat not far from the right that was dragging back more than ten steps and walking side by side, and the person who cheered was also standing on the bow of the boat like him.

Listening to the applause just now, it was clearly a woman with a crisp voice, but the person at the bow of the boat was clearly wearing a moon-white men's Confucian dress.

"Don't look at it, this is a girl", Wu Yujun walked to Tang Cheng's side while sorting out his clothes, "Ah Cheng, you don't know where you go." Since the ladies of the Imperial Capital began to make men's clothes, this trend has spread from Chang'an", after a while, Wu Yujun suddenly became excited, "This little lady is tasteful, stunning!" ", this guy said as he kept poking Tang Cheng's waist with his hand. Get her, get her! ”。

"Your eyes are so good", Tang Cheng ignored Wu Yujun's noise and arched his hand to the boat to show his gratitude. Seeing this, the woman also replied.

Tang Cheng nodded and retreated to the bow of the boat, just at this moment the boatman lifted the lid of the pot, and a white gas suddenly surged up, but the river fish had already been cooked.

Reluctantly followed Tang Cheng back and sat down, Wu Yujun kept chattering to himself: "Ah Cheng, you don't see clearly, that girl is stunning, stunning!" ”。 As he spoke, he kept smacking.

"I can't stop you if I have a place to eat?" Tang Cheng stuffed the bowl into Wu Yujun's hand, "By the way, call your boat lady out too."

After a while, the neatly packed boat lady walked out of the cabin, and Wu Yujun took out the dried meat and other food prepared in advance, and the four of them ate while gossiping.

Until a pot of lake fish was almost eaten, Wu Yujun turned his head from the boat over there again and said with a smile: "That boat has been following us, there is a door!" ”。

When this pot of anchovy is finished. The full moon had jumped over the willow branches in the distance. The boatman drove the boat for several more miles, and then anchored in a sandbar to light the two lanterns. Heaven and earth have become completely silent.

"Go and get the tooth board", Wu Yujun, who couldn't sleep too early, gave an order to the boat lady, and then stretched out his hand and stabbed Tang Cheng, "Come here, look, come here!" ”。

The clipper at dusk really slid into this small sandbar, and then the boatman on the boat actually put the hitch on the boat where Tang Cheng was, and at the opening of the cabin, a little apricot with his hair combed in a double bun stepped on the hitchhiker with a lantern in his hand.

"Look at the lamp in her hand, it is definitely the craftsmanship of the Chang'an Imperial City will be the supervisor, this woman has a great background, a door, a door", Wu Yujun, who whispered to Tang Cheng, became more and more excited.

At this moment, the little apricot cloth with the palace lamp in his hand had already boarded the boat here, and walked straight to Tang Cheng to bow to him, and handed over an elegant piece of paper.

The sparkling water shadow, the hazy moonlight, the shadowy palace lamp, and the picturesque apricot mustache, all of this came too suddenly, and the combination of these elements suddenly reminded Tang Cheng of the scene in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

Tang Cheng unfolded the paper by the moonlight and the shadow of the lamp, and there was an elegant orchid in his eyes:

Linjiang sings poems, hears the words and knows people, the river is lonely, and is willing to make a long night trip with Mr.

The payment after the note is also simple, and there are no items such as the usual place of origin in the name of the person, only two small characters of "Ling Yi". Sure enough, it was the woman who came to the boat in the afternoon, but Tang Cheng didn't expect this Ling Yi to act so casually, the two of them had never known each other and sent people to come to do a long night invitation trip, and the scene in front of them was really more like the story of Pu Songling's chat.

With his slight distraction, the little mustache in apricot clothes was once again blessed with a salute, and his intention was clearly urging, and at the same time, Wu Yujun also stabbed Tang Cheng's waist with the help of the shadow.

The other party is a woman who dares to take the initiative to invite, if she refuses, she will not be underestimated, one is arrogant, and the scene in front of her is also arousing Tang Cheng's curiosity. At the moment, he closed the paper and smiled: "Honorable guests are invited, dare not obey your orders?" ”。

"The master of the house welcomes Mr. Welcome", the voice of the apricot clothes is just like the yellow warbler out of the valley, tactfully and nicely, after speaking, she bowed again and retreated from the board.

"Don't go and change your clothes yet", Wu Yujun, who watched Xingyi Xiaofu retreat, stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Cheng, "Look at this style, and that girl's accent." The master of her family is definitely from the capital, hey! I have heard that the noble women in the imperial capital are unrestrained by nature, and today I saw that it was really the case, a long night trip, tsk! Ah Cheng, you should hurry up! ”。

Tang Cheng also saw some information in later generations that recorded the atmosphere of Chang'an before and after the Tang Dynasty, and he also knew that the social atmosphere at that time was extremely free, especially the Guisheng House at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but even if the social atmosphere was free, it would not be as unbearable as Wu Yujun said.

Tang Cheng didn't take Wu Yujun's words to heart, and after returning to the cabin and changing into a bamboo shirt, he walked from the board to the opposite ship. Wu Yujun, who looked excited in the back, followed him like a shadow.

When Tang Cheng stepped on the woman's boat, the palace lamp in the hand of the apricot cloth who was waiting to welcome the guests on the side of the board moved forward slightly, blocking Wu Yujun behind him.

"This is my friend, I want to come with me, I want to go with me", as soon as Tang Cheng's voice fell, he heard a female voice in the cabin say: "Qingxing, don't you invite guests over?" ”。 Before the words fell, Ling Yi, who had been cheered from across the boat in the afternoon, had already walked out of the cabin.

Ling Yi is still dressed in men's clothes, her tall figure shows a different kind of grace against the background of fluttering Confucian clothes, her facial features are very exquisite, as Wu Yujun said, she has a stunning posture, but the biggest feature is that the combination of facial features on her face is not slightly flat like most Tang people, her big eyes and the bridge of her nose, including her cheeks and lips are very three-dimensional, this special straightness adds three points of style to her original beauty.

In addition, what has to be said is that Ling Yi naturally has the capable bearing, which is not deliberately pretended. But it naturally manifested itself between her every move and gesture. All in all, the woman in front of Tang Chengdi felt very much like the elite female executive in a foreign-funded company in the later generations.

In terms of Wu Yujun's experience of wandering flowers, beautiful women have really seen a lot, the reason why he has been thinking about this woman all afternoon, and he is excited when he talks about her, I am afraid that what really attracts him is the temperament on Ling Yi's body, after all, it is difficult to find a woman with such a bearing in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago. The more this is the case, the more attractive it is to men. And evoke the conquest of men**.

After Ling Yi got out of the cabin, he bowed to Tang Cheng and the two like men, and then beckoned, while the boatman was about to take the board back and put his backhand on the bank of the barren grass and the river.

At this moment, the little apricot had already taken out the pipa from the cabin and held it in his arms. "Please", after Ling Yi invited the guests, he took the palace lamp in Xiao Wei's hand and put it on the board and wanted to go first.

Tang Cheng didn't wait for Ling Yi to take a step, he had already taken the palace lamp in her hand, after all, it was night, and he was going to the riverbank overgrown with barren grass, how could she let a woman take the lead, "I'll come!" ”。

Hearing this, Ling Yi cast an approving glance, but she didn't speak, and let Tang Cheng take the palace lamp from her hand.

Tang Cheng stepped on the riverbank in the sound of frogs jumping, at this time the moonlit sky was like washing, and the night insects chirping in the ears, but the chirping insects not only did not bring the due liveliness, but added a few silences to the riverbank on a moonlit night.

"What did you say?" , Tang Cheng's voice talking to himself was too small, and Ling Yi didn't hear it clearly.

Tang Cheng paused, and after Rong Lingyi was side by side, he simply recited the whole poem together:

He panpan, empty and water together.

The yin and the sun are far away, and the sunny scenery is flowing back.

The cicada noise forest is quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.

This place is full of thoughts and long-term sad travel.

After reciting, Tang Cheng smiled and said: "When I used to recite this poem, I always felt that the teacher was exaggerating, and it may not be good there, after all, it is necessary to experience the beauty of this night tour tonight, the cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded!" It turns out that true silence is set off by sound."

Since the return to Tang, Tang Cheng, who hopes to change the embarrassment at home, has not really relaxed a day in his heart, this trip to Yangzhou is like a later generation of tourism, the most can make people temporarily leave everything around their bodies and get physical and mental relaxation, coupled with the elegance of the moonlit night tour of the river, so that he relaxed a little more Yaxing who got rid of daily trivialities, "This scene in front of me reminds me of the scene of collecting firewood at home before, Spring Mountain seeks alone without companionship, and Logging Ding Ding Mountain is more secluded!" In fact, it is similar to Wang Wenhai's two sentences of cicada noise."

Wu Yujun, who was following behind, heard Tang Cheng actually talk about going up the mountain to fetch firewood, and couldn't help but pout, this Tang Cheng was stupid, why did he say this.

Ling Yi was also stunned when he heard this, and after turning his head to look at Tang Cheng's clothes, his eyes fell on his face again.

Under the faint moonlight, Tang Cheng, who was in a completely relaxed mood, had a bright face, and when he talked about the experience of collecting firewood in the mountains, he was not unnatural at all, Ling Zheng smiled slightly, "Spring Mountain seeks alone without a companion, and Logging Ding Ding Mountain is even more secluded!" What a pastoral joy of mountains and rivers".

A good word is naturally a good word, can Du Fu's famous sentence still be a good word? As for the idyllic delights...... People who have not personally experienced farming in the field will never understand the hardships behind this pleasure, and Tang Cheng is not willing to use the hard work of the farmer family as a talking point, so after hearing this, Tang Cheng did not continue to talk about this topic, and turned his head to look at the moonlight and water-colored river after smiling faintly.

In the afternoon, because it was a little far away, Ling Yi didn't have such good eyes as Wu Yujun, so he didn't see Tang Cheng's appearance clearly, but he just felt that when he sang poetry in Linjiang, he not only resigned well, but also had a good demeanor.

Seeing that his age is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, a young man of his age in the imperial capital is just a freshly clothed angry horse, and his temperament is the most active, "I have already traveled with the night, and I don't know what to call ......."

"Golden State Tang Cheng".

"A scholar who reads?" Seeing Tang Cheng nodded, Ling Yi, who was walking slowly under his feet, asked again with interest, "Jinshike's?" ”。

"Ming Jing!" Tang Cheng was in a good mood tonight, and he really didn't want to let such a greeting question and answer spoil his relaxed mood under the rare experience of night travel, and after carrying the lamp on the mound, he looked at the beautiful scenery of the river and sky in front of him and said to the apricot man in his arms: "How about the annoying girl come to the song "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night"? ”。

"It turned out to be from the Ming Jingke!", this Tang Cheng in front of him was really unexpected, seeing Xingyi Xiaofu looking over, "The subscription to this book is still successful, and I have tried my best to update it, and it is a stable update, why can't the monthly pass get up?" Now I can't keep my innocence, I think about it and think about it, maybe the book friends who read my book are too tranquil, so tranquil that they still don't vote when they see the leaves being ravaged by others, combat effectiveness, call for combat effectiveness, comrades!

Why don't the men take Wu Hook and seize the fifty states of Guanshan. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis!
