There are two layers of passenger ships, the shipbuilding industry of Soochow has begun to take shape during the Three Kingdoms, Jiankang has the shipbuilding base of Soochow, which has been used to develop so far, and it is rumored that Sun Quan once wanted to build the capital in Wuchang, and once installed a large ship in Wuchang, named Chang'an, which shows its vast ambition to conquer.

Xie An naturally couldn't find Xie Shang's hiding place, and beat a small drum in his heart to wait for the rescue opportunity.
He has been playing double land with his little niece Chu Garlic, each holding fifteen black and white chess pieces shaped like horses, two dice are thrown down and decided to move, and all his chess pieces occupy the opponent's chessboard area first to win.
The little niece is more calm than her mother, and every time Song Yi looks over, she will smile sweetly at Song Yi.
Chu Lianzi was wearing a double skirt with a danliu gauze pattern, shoes of the same color, coupled with daisies swaying gently in the wind on her sideburns, and her gorgeous clothes were delicate, and she was already dazzling at a young age.
At that time, Wang Xizhi was as old as Chu Garlic, but the two had two temperaments and styles, as well as the Wen sisters who were close to her age, Gu Yuezhi's sister, etc., she was different from them. In other words, these girls are all normal little ladies of the family in the eyes of the world, but Wang Xizhi is not, just like there are thousands of flowers in this world, she is still a seed buried deep in the soil.
At this time, Wang Xizhi was probably either opening the Penglai Fa Ti Xuan Xiu, or concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and she probably didn't know about his abduction by the assassins.
But if she knew...... Will you cry for yourself?
I haven't seen her cry in all these years, do I want to see her cry, or do I hope it's better for her to remain dumbfounded?
"I've won!"
Chu Lianzi took advantage of Xie An's distraction and quickly ended the game, but she was even more curious, she threw the dice one more time and Uncle An didn't pay attention, what was she thinking?
Although Xie An was distracted, it was impossible to be deceived by a five-year-old girl, but winning or losing was not important, and he really wanted to go home at the moment.
Trapped in the shell of this nine-year-old child, he was very powerless, and after five years, he didn't even have the ability to save himself, and he had to trouble his cousin's family who went home to save his relatives.
He reached out and touched Chu Garlic's head, and took a thin silver hairpin from her hair while she was unprepared, and hid it in his sleeve.
Chu Lianzi blinked in confusion, and Xie An also winked at him, indicating that she was reassured.
Song Yi looked at the two children with big eyes and blinked, although there was an indescribable weirdness in his heart, he couldn't make any judgment, it was probably just a play between children.
The passenger ship rides the wind and the river, the afternoon sun spreads on the river, the maple red of the trees on both sides of the bank and the autumn fragrance reflect each other, the reeds are boundless, and the leaves are green, just like a picture scroll.
The geese migrated south, in groups, and Chu Garlic raised his hand and pointed at the geese from time to time, as if he wanted to call the next one.
Nephew Chu Xin is two years younger than Xie An, and his temperament is calmer than that of garlic.
However, Chu Garliczi's beauty seems to be a combination of the Chu family and the Xie family's appearance, and even some of Song Yi will be hot-eyed, and he can't help but say to Mrs. Chu Xie Zhenshi during the chat: "When Ling Rongzi stays in the cardamom years, it can be called a national color." ”
"I'd rather she look as ordinary as I am." Xie Zhenshi said lightly, "The girl's special men's clothes are also to cover her complexion, right?" It's just that the girl is beautiful and dazzling, and it is more difficult than ordinary people to walk the rivers and lakes in troubled times. ”
Song Yi was proud of her beauty all her life, but she was also burdened by beauty, and when she was a child, she was fortunate to worship under the Green Pearl Gate because of her beauty, if she didn't have this beauty, she wouldn't have been able to tempt the emperor she hadn't seen for several years, and she wouldn't have been able to assassinate him so easily......
The Mrs. Chu in front of her is an extraordinary woman, and the children of the family must be married to a girl from the family, and I don't know what the surname of this lady is?
Song Yi was thinking about it distractedly, so he heard Xie Zhenshi say: "The rivers and lakes are drifting, and they are destined to meet, although there are still a few hours to reach Guangling, but before getting off the boat, the girl must taste the food carefully cooked by my cook." ”
Xie Zhenshi's face was sincere, his tone was as gentle as water, Song Yi's nerves that had been tense for a long time seemed to be a little relaxed, and he glanced at Xie An, who was obediently playing with the little girl, and remembered that this little fox hadn't eaten a full meal for three days, although it was hateful, but after all, he was still a child, and after three days of tossing, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Okay, just let you eat a good meal before you go on the road. Song Yi was a little surprised by his mercy for Xie An, but Xie Xiaofox probably wouldn't appreciate it.
In autumn, crab should be eaten and drunk, and the crab steamed with wine is steamed by a skillful cook, and the noodle soup is a radish soup stewed with bones.
The Chu family brothers and sisters and Xie An are all children, but they don't have so many scruples, one by one, the crab claws that have already been split are eaten a little bit.
The closer he got to Guangling, the more uneasy Xie An's heart became.
Blowing the river breeze and eating crabs with the fragrance of wine, and there are his relatives on the boat, it should be a happy moment in life, but the relatives can't recognize each other, and there is a female killer Song Yi with an uncertain personality by her side.
The wine and food are full, the river breeze is slow, the air is cool and the sky is high, and the closer to Guangling, the surrounding fields gradually appear, the wheat is cut in autumn, the tenants work hard, the harvest is good, and they have a surplus after paying their share to the scholars, which is the best thing of the year.
Song Yi saw that Xie An had eaten a few bites and sat aside with interest, so he said to Xie Zhenshi: "My little brother can write poems, why don't he write a poem as a thank you gift?" ”
Xie Zhenshi'er, his eyes fell on Xie An gently, "It's really an honor." ”
Xie Anxin knew that this was Song Yi's teasing, and he was originally going to refuse, but with a pair of reassuring eyes from his cousin, he suddenly realized that the hardships he had suffered in the past few days were nothing, and he couldn't help but slander Song Yi in his heart, what is your little brother, the one opposite you is my cousin!
His nephew Chu Xin memorized Xie An's poems when he was in Wuchang, and although he never spoke to this little uncle, he quickly sent pen and paper and stood silently beside him to study ink.
Writing poems should be appropriate to the occasion, but Xie An has been under low pressure for the past few days, and there is not much ink in his stomach, but his anger is bulging, where does the poetry come from, so while letting the ink blot lick the pen, he searched for poems that he could remember.
"The crab claw is the gold liquid, and the bad hill is Penglai. And you must drink good wine and get drunk on the high platform by the moon. ”
The dregs are not only the meaning of the dregs into the mounds, indicating that there is a lot of wine, and this poem is the last two sentences in Li Bai's "Four Songs of Drinking Alone Under the Moon".
Seeing Xie An write it in one go, Chu Xin praised it and immediately kept silent, because he almost called out Xie An's name, and was glared at by his sister Garlic.
"Brother Ling's literary brilliance!" Xie Zhenshi has always been calm and couldn't help but praise it, "This is a good hand, I think the girl must be a family student." ”
Song Yi was dumbfounded, she didn't think that Xie An could come up with these four good poems in the small kung fu of Yanmo, and what was even more terrifying was that his good handwriting had been circulated in the streets and alleys of Jiankang City, and it would be a little bad if he was recognized.
blamed Mrs. Chu for pouring her wine, which made her do the stupid thing of pouting Xie An to compose poems in a slightly drunken mood, originally wanting to embarrass the child.
At first, it was hypothesized that the commoner sister and brother were adrift, but the words were like their people, and Xie An's handwriting was written, how could it be compared with the bearing of a commoner or a poor man?
What a mistake!
Thinking of this, Song Yi pretended to praise Xie An and pulled Xie An to his side, and then said goodbye to the Chu family.
This place is still a short distance away from Guangling, Song Yi rashly proposed to get off the ship, naturally he would not get consent, and how could there be a dock to moor out of thin air?
Song Yi was slightly drunk, blown by the river breeze, her chest began to feel stuffy at some point, her back was sweaty, and even her abdomen seemed to be a little uneasy.
This is still a happy scene of eating crabs and tasting poems, but in an instant, Song Yi and Xie An entered the river like fish and disappeared.
Chu Garlic was a little anxious, and ran to the side of the boat to watch, "Auntie! Could it be that this woman sees a flaw? ”
"Not necessarily." Xie Zhenshi's hands were clenched tightly, obviously a little nervous, but his expression remained calm.
"But she fled with Uncle An!" Chu Garlic muttered loudly, Xie Shang, who was hiding at the bottom of the boat, shook out leisurely, and after running around for days, he finally slept beautifully, and now he was awakened by the sound of Song Yi falling into the water.
Chu Garlic pouted and complained: "Uncle Shang, how can you fall asleep!" ”
"Sister and I didn't plan to do anything on the boat." Xie Shang and Xie Zhenshi looked at each other and smiled, "What does Sister think of Ahri?" ”
"Do you want me to praise him or do you praise you for teaching well?" Xie Zhenshi stretched out his hand to tidy up his younger brother's clothes, which made Xie Shang, who lost his mother at an early age, return to his childhood, and it was his sister who took care of him so carefully at that time.
Xie Shang clenched his sword, and there was an unconcealable anxiety between his eyebrows, but he still agreed gently: "Naturally, Sister Ah taught her well." So didn't I keep holding back and listening to my sister's orders? ”
Xie Zhenshi picked up Chu Garlic, and his voice was soft: "Garlic, don't worry, do you remember the batch of crabs we raised when we set off from Wuchang?" ”
Garlic said obediently: "Remember, but I died a lot along the way." ”
"That's right, A-Niang is not as wise and martial as your uncles, A-Niang will only make delicious food for garlic, so A-Niang left the dead crab meat, and then marinated it in old wine, and the Song girl just ate the dead crab meat." Xie Zhenshi wrote lightly, "Ah Niang used to love to eat crabs transported from Taihu Lake when she was in Jiankang, but there were many delays along the way, and no matter how good the crab was, the cook said that this dead crab would be poisoned if you eat it, and it would vomit and diarrhea at the least, and it would get soul disorder at worst." ”
Chu Garlic's big eyes widened.
"When Fang A-Niang saw the Song girl's face, she concluded that she was a little mentally abnormal, but she didn't realize it." Xie Zhenshi stretched out his hand and pushed Xie Shang, "Ah Shang, why don't you chase after it?" She wants to heal her injuries and try to compete with you again? It's a beautiful idea! If you don't chase after her, I'm afraid Ahri, who is a young student, will be able to solve her alone! ”
Xie Shang did not delay, stepped on a bamboo raft hanging from the boat, and chased in the direction of Song Yi's departure.
This section of the river is relatively broad, and there are often clumps of reeds to cover the traces, Xie Shang rowed a bamboo raft, staring at the reeds on the river, thinking that Song Yi must take Xie An to dive in the water, no matter how powerful this crab poison is, it will take a while to completely attack, at this time Song Yi still has the strength to spare, and it should not hurt Xie An.
The reason why they didn't act rashly on the boat was that Xie Shang and Xie Zhenshi were also worried that the children on the boat would be involved.
In terms of speed, he should not be able to stop Song Yi from entering Guangling City.
It is best to make a break with Song Yi soon after entering Guangling City, otherwise when you enter Guangling City, you will be under the nose of Xi Jian, who is a homeless handsome and out of Guangling, as a wanted criminal, Xi Appraisal will arrest him.
It's just that Song Yi's identity is mysterious, if she is really involved with any senior member of the court, it will be even more difficult for the Xie family to avenge her personal feud.
