Qinhuai River was called Huaishui in ancient times, the real name is "Longzangpu", according to legend, when Qin Shi Huang toured to the east, the purple gas rose on the city of Jinling, thought that the king was angry, so he chiseled the square mountain and broke the long wall for Pu, introduced the Yangtze River, and the descendants mistakenly thought that this water was opened in the Qin period, so it was called "Qinhuai". Since the capital of the Three Kingdoms was built here, the Qinhuai River has become a prosperous place, which has survived for thousands of years. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard built on the north bank of the river made the literati linger in Qinhuai, and the stories of talented and beautiful women were passed down through the ages, and the Qinhuai River gradually became the cultural center of Jiangnan. The same is true of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This said, Jin Wuxi Shen, Qinhuai River, Taoye Ferry came to a high-wheeled Nanmu carriage, and four brightly dressed teenagers got down from the car. Among the four, the one at the head was slightly chubby and had a smiling face, and shouted at the ferry to call the painting boat not far away to dock. The others had different expressions, and they didn't know whether they were looking at the Qinhuai River in front of them, or at the weaving boats on the Qinhuai River, and their expressions were slightly sluggish. The tallest one, with a slightly dark face, seemed to remember something, and glared fiercely at the short boy standing in front of him. The short boy was not very old, facing the rippling Qinhuai River, like an old monk in a fixed place, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Needless to say, these four teenagers are Cao Yan and others who came out of the weaving mansion.

was discouraged by Yongqing, Cao Yan had no interest in going out to eat, but Ning Chun was a cheeky person, how to pull with him, he could only push him away. After Yongqing scolded Cao Yan for being a "slave", he remembered that there were still imperial guards at the door of the hall just now, and he was afraid at first, although he was merciful and knew that he would not be blamed for his gaffes, but the evaluation of "not knowing the rules" was inevitable. For a moment, his heart went up and down, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't notice that Ning Chun pulled him into the carriage. For the place where the legendary beauties gathered, several teenagers were somewhat curious in their hearts, since the carriage had already run, who could insist on going down, and came to the bank of the Qinhuai River half-pushed.

The water in front of the ferry was divided, and a two-storey painting boat gradually approached the shore.

When the painting boat docked, a beautiful woman came out of the painting boat, wearing a green dress and dress, although there was no two colors on the whole body, but because of the dark green and light green matching, it did not look monotonous.

The woman smiled before she could say a word, swayed her waist slightly, moved to the bow of the boat, and leaned down gently: "Slave peony, please be happy to Master Ning and the others!" ”

Ning Chun saw that the two boat women on the painting boat put down the boat board and took Cao Yan and a few people to the painting boat.

Cao Yan glanced at the woman, although she had a graceful posture and a good face, the slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed that Shaohua had passed away, and it seemed that she was an old bustard-level character. Cao Yan couldn't help but think of the old bustards who appeared in the costume TV in his previous life, all of them were bloated, his face was white, and his hair was brilliant, it seemed that they were all misleading, misleading. Think about it, most of these mothers are transferred by red girls, and they use the money they saved from selling meat when they were young to buy a property and become their own boss, how can they be so unbearable.

Ning Chun saw Cao Yan looking at the peony and introduced: "This is the peony sister of the Ruyi painting boat, on the Qinhuai River, who doesn't know that the peony sister does not let the eyebrows be bearded, the most righteous, and the act is three points more refreshing than that man." ”

Then, Ning Chun started with Cao Yan and introduced to Peony: "This is the eldest son of the Weaving Mansion, don't look at his age, but he is both civil and military, even if he sees it, he praises it." ”

The peony leaned over and saluted: "The slave family has asked the eldest prince to say goodbye!" ”

Cao Yan nodded in return, but there was some surprise in his heart, when this peony heard the "Weaving Mansion", there were clearly some other things in his eyes, could it be that he wanted to tie himself up, and he couldn't borrow the momentum of the Cao family.

Ning Chun introduced Yongqing again: "This is Uncle Yongqing in the General Soldier's Mansion, a serious relative of the emperor, and a Manchurian nobleman." ”

Peony listened, threw the handkerchief behind his shoulder, and gave a Manchurian daughter's salute: "The slave family has seen the uncle, the uncle!" ”

Yongqing was a little unhappy when he saw Ning Chun introduce Cao Yan first, but he didn't want to lose his temper in front of everyone, so he made the bustard smile and clenched his fist, which was considered a return gift.

Ma Jun, who was introduced at the end, heard that he was the young master of the prefect's family, and the smile on Peony's face was even greater. This prefect Ma De is a well-known Taoist, and he is the most disdainful of prostitution, and he wants to take the leaders on the banks of the Qinhuai River at the beginning of his tenure and toss them into a mess. If it weren't for someone who found it later and sent a message, the bankrupt family would not have been one or two households.

Hearing that there was a son of Ma De, Peony inevitably had a heart of abuse, straightened his chest, and leaned forward: "Oops! It's the son of Futai who has arrived, it's really a blessing for the slave family! ”

Ma Jun was already shy, but he didn't dare to raise his head at this time, and leaned straight back, but he couldn't avoid the smell of fat powder.

Yongqing is slightly older than the others, and he is no stranger to the land of fireworks, seeing that Peony is acting at this time, he is suspected of bullying honest people, he stepped forward, stopped in front of Ma Jun, lowered his head and said to Peony: "Whether it is eating wine or listening to music, there is no reason to entertain guests on the bow of the boat, this mother is too verbose!" ”

When Peony heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "It's all slaves, it's a small family, and the eyelids are shallow, and I lightened my body when I saw a few distinguished guests." A few uncles are invited inside, the wine and food have already been prepared. ”

Ning Chun beckoned a few people into the painting boat, and Peony asked the boat wives outside to put away the pedals and start the boat.

The painting boat is very elegantly furnished, with a round table and four high-backed chairs placed on one side. Ning Chun invited a few people to sit down, and he entertained guests on the outside side.

The windows on all sides of the painting boat are opened, and the fine curtains on the windows are layered on top of each other, surging with the breeze, like a dream. The fine incense is lit in the painting boat, and the smoke is filled, adding a bit of confusion. Next to the stairs at the end of the painting boat is a small room with a beaded curtain. Several figures dressed in red and pink loomed behind the beaded curtains, and the sound of the piano sounded in the room.

On the table are four plates of fresh fruits, four plates of dried fruits, and four plates of candied fruit, all of which are plates. Cao Yan touched his stomach, "Keep warm*", no matter how beautiful a girl is, no matter how beautiful a song is, she must have a full stomach to be in the mood to appreciate it.

The painting boat gradually left the ferry, and Peony beckoned the little maid to serve tea to everyone.

"Do you listen to the music first, or start the banquet first!" Peony held a song sheet in her hand and asked softly.

Seeing that Cao Yan didn't speak, Ning Chun smiled and said, "Sister Peony wants our brothers to listen to the song on an empty stomach?" The next day of the meal is useless, the first banquet is opened, good wine and good food come up, I don't expect you to be like Lin Xia Zhai's delicacies of the mountains and seas, don't deal with it, our brothers are all from everyone's background, have seen the market, if you don't entertain well, I don't pay the silver, little brother. ”

Peony responded with a smile and took the little maid to the food.

Four plates of double platter, four plates of small stir-fry, four bowls, except for two dishes of seasonal fresh vegetables, the others are all river fresh, what is the fish maw, fried fish fillet, roasted prawns, braised crab meat, braised fish tail, steamed fish head and so on. After serving, two more plates of noodles were served, and then the maid sent two pots of bamboo leaf green, and the peony personally poured it for everyone.

Yongqing is full of people, the family diet is mainly beef and mutton and chicken and duck meat, I can't get used to eating these, so I sandwich a golden silk steamed bun, which has not yet been delivered to my mouth, my face changed, and I got up and covered my mouth and went out. This guy turned out to be seasick.

Listening to the sound of vomiting coming from the bow of the boat, Cao Yan suddenly lost his appetite, and then smelled the freshness of the river that filled the house, and his stomach began to roll. He got up, took a cup of tea, got out of the boat, and walked to the bow of the boat.

Yongqing's face was pale, his body was tightly pressed against the side of the ship, and he leaned out most of his body, retching. Cao Yan watched from the side, feeling sorry for him, and couldn't help but be kind for a while, and sent the teacup in his hand: "Here you go!" ”

Yongqing vomited uncomfortably, and was even more annoyed when he heard Cao Yan's voice, and waved his hand to push him away: "Get out!" ”

Cao Yan didn't expect Yongqing to make a move, so he leaned over, slid off the boat, and made countless splashes with a "plop".

Everyone in the painting boat heard that something was wrong outside, and they all poured out.

Seeing Cao Yan struggling in the water, Peony's face turned pale with fright. Before everyone could react, Yongqing was about to jump into the water, apparently trying to save Cao Yan. As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw that Cao Yan gradually lost his strength, and Yongqing had sunk into the water.

"it!" Ning Chun scolded, tearing off his clothes three or two times, revealing a body of white flesh. The maids and servants next to them were all frightened and retreated, only Peony looked at Cao Yan in the water, her face was full of melancholy, and the handkerchief in her hand had been twisted into a ball. Who doesn't know that there is only one son in the weaving house, if something happens to her painting boat, who can afford this relationship. But on her painting boat, there are only maids and servants, no male servants, who has the ability to go into the water to save people.

With a "plop", Ning Chun, who was stripped naked, jumped into the water, first plunged to the bottom of the water, scooped up Yongqing, and then rowed to Cao Xuan's side, grabbing Cao Xuan's braid.

With two people in his hands, no matter how good Rao is surname is, Ning Chun was also so tired that he was panting, and when he saw that everyone on the bow of the boat was still standing stupidly, he shouted: "Fucking stand, put the rope!" ”

Only then did the people on the boat wake up, put the rope and pull the rope, and pull the people. Yongqing was unconscious, his belly was bigger, and it seemed that he had been filled with a lot of water. Cao Yan is small, floating on the water, although he is also filled with water, he is still half sober. He struggled and wanted to get up to look at Yongqing, but a figure rushed to Yongqing's side first, but it was Ma Jun.

Ma Jun put Yongqing's head sideways, opened his mouth, and pressed his stomach with both hands. After pressing it more than ten times, I saw an "oh" sound, and Yongqing spit out half a mouthful of sewage. Ma Jun continued to press until Yongqing almost vomited, then he stopped and slapped him on the back.

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment when he watched from the sidelines, this Ma Jun's posture of saving people was good.

Although it was the end of March, the water was not warm either. Cao Chun only felt uncomfortable with his wet clothes sticking to his body, so he heard the sound of "Ah Cha", and Ning Chun sneezed heavily, causing everyone to look at him.

Ning Chun smiled a little embarrassedly at first, and then thought that he didn't have an inch on his body, he screamed, covered his hands underneath, and ran back to the painting boat.

Yongqing woke up and saw Ning Chun's back: "That guy is really natural!" After speaking, he turned his head and saw that Cao Yan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ma Jun, who was still busy: "Don't thank you for your kindness, if Ma Gongzi is of any use in the future, please feel free to speak." ”

Ma Jun hurriedly shook his head, pointed to the painting boat and said, "The younger brother doesn't dare to take credit, Brother Yongqing and Brother Cao were able to get out of danger safely, it is all the credit of Brother Ning." ”
