In the autumn of the Huai River, the sky is blue and the water is clear, and the white sails are dotted,

Walking from Feng'an to the Huai River for more than 20 days, the little fish has lost weight in the past 20 days, for her who wants to gain weight, this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is really a bit of a loss, I knew this, I should have been ruthless.

Before going south, Yang Hao asked whether to bring his female dependents and who to take him, and it took a lot of brains, saying not to bring it, the two-month journey was boring and boring, and the night was lonely and unbearable; If you want to talk about it, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and those who sleep in the open air really can't bear it, and in the end, he decided to give the choice to the three of them, and it is up to them to decide whether to go or not.

Lu Rui's desire to go is the strongest, since the night under the fairy mountain, Yang Hao's attitude towards her has taken a 180-degree turn, sticking together day and day, singing and singing every night, if she leaves abruptly for two months, how can she endure it, but when she thinks of the fatigue and hardships of the journey, Lu Rui is timid, from Feng'an to Xiazhou Chaotian Avenue is only a few hundred miles, and she is still tired of cramping and peeling her bones for several days, this thousands of miles of mountains and rivers toss back and forth, I still don't want to live,

She was the first to raise her hand and say no, and then lowered her head, ashamed and didn't dare to look at Yang Hao's eyes.

Qing'er and Xiaoyu's desire to go is far less strong than Lu Rui's, especially Xiaoyu, she has a deep understanding of the hardships of long-distance travel, and she is bent on raising a rich appearance that is white and fat, so she also said that she will not go.

Qing'er is between the two of them, whether to go or not she has a reason to convince herself, when Xiaoyu and Lu Rui both said that they would not go, Qing'er cleared her throat and said: "It seems that I am the only one who goes, there must be someone to take care of you." ”

Qing'er can naturally settle everything conveniently when she is by her side, but Yang Hao doesn't want to take her, first, there must be someone in charge at home, Xiaoyu and Lu Rui can't manage themselves well, let alone take care of others, and second, Qing'er is famous for being serious and caring for people, Yang Hao doesn't want to take a sister to manage himself all the way, so he pretended to be irritable, and pointed to the three people: "One by one, it doesn't mean anything to go, I am comfortable to go alone." ”

That night, Yang Hao hid under the pretext of dealing with official business and did not go home, and stayed at the guest house overnight, and no one cared.

On the second day, Xiaoyu came over and knelt at the head of the bed and asked, "Is the silk in Jiangnan of good quality and cheap?" Yang Hao pinched her nose and asked, "You changed your mind and wanted to go again." Xiao Yu grinned and said, "You will have to come back in two months, I can't bear you." Yang Hao brought her with him as soon as he was happy,

Accompanying Yang Hao to the south were Zhang Bozhong, the same knowledge of the inner temple and Mu Li, Mu Lanqing, the manager of the bookstore, Zhang Lang, Li Wei, Zhang Xiao, and Wu Zhang, the sphere of influence of the intelligence room was limited to Liangjing and Hebei, and further south they became blind and deaf, Yang Hao only called two attendants to follow in order to decipher the secret letter sent by Guan Suo,

In order to save time, Yang Hao did not choose to take the Yellow River waterway, but went straight down to Yingzhou by dry road, and then abandoned the horse and took the boat, and went south through the Huai River through the Grand Canal.

A small shop in the countryside, the size of more than ten guest rooms, the door next to the door is crowded together, the door of a guest room is open, a man and a woman in the room are sitting opposite each other playing chess, the man is in his early twenties, brocade clothes and jade face, a talent, Yang Hao saw him and couldn't close his mouth for a while, this man was actually Li Yan, the king of Ying,

Xiaoyu, who was following Yang Hao, noticed Yang Hao's gaffe, but she would be mistaken, thinking that it was Yang Hao's admiration for the woman's beauty that caused her to lose her temper and be shocked, so she was deeply jealous in her heart, and twisted Yang Hao's thigh fiercely,

"Ouch." Yang Hao was thinking about how to deal with Li Yan with all his heart, and when he was twisted by Xiaoyu, he couldn't help but scream,

Li Yan and the woman glanced out at the same time,

Yang Hao was very embarrassed, it was too late to hide at the moment, but it was inconvenient to greet in this crowded place, so he seemed a little at a loss for a while, the woman in red who was playing chess with Li Yan stood up, Tingting walked out in a curling manner, stretched out Qianqianyu's hand and grabbed Xiaoyu, and said in surprise: "Sister, why are you here too." "Xiaoyu is stupid, this person doesn't know him at all,

Yang Hao immediately understood what she meant, and said casually: "Yes, it's really a coincidence." With that, he said hello to the attendant behind him and walked into Li Yan's room,

As soon as the door was closed, Yang Hao wanted to take off his clothes to pay homage, but was stopped by Li Yan: "Those in the mountains and countryside don't need to be polite." Then he held Yang Hao's hand and looked at it and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, it's rare that you can still recognize Lone at a glance." He turned his head to Wang Fu'er and said, "You said it's a coincidence, as soon as we changed our route, we met the old man here." ”

Xiao Yu saw Yang Hao's respectful demeanor towards Li Yan, and heard him call himself lonely, and was secretly surprised in her heart, just now, she was still laughing at the woman she was talking to was thin and not rich, and now she re-examined the woman in front of her, in addition to the beautiful suffocating face, the bee waist and thin arms that were originally laughed at by her suddenly had a sense of beauty, and the standard of women's beauty in Xiao Yu's heart was suddenly subverted, and it turned out that slender and thin were noble and beautiful,

The woman lightly lifted her lips and said, "My name is Wang Fu'er, you can call me Sister Fu'er in the future." ”

Yang Hao didn't realize at the moment that this unexpected meeting would completely change the trajectory of his future life, in order to hide people's eyes, Li Yan asked Yang Hao to call him Brother Yan, and he called Yang Hao Brother Yang, he invited Yang Hao and Xiaoyu to ride with him in the same boat, although Yang Hao declined his kindness, but promised to walk with him all the way, from then on, Yang Hao's boat could only follow behind his big boat, and most of the day he and Xiaoyu spent most of the time on Li Yan's big boat,

In the first few days, Yang Hao was still trembling and uncomfortable, but as time went by, he slowly found that Li Yan was actually a very good person, he had an upright temperament, although sometimes his temper was not very good, but he was just angry, and he had been treating the guests around him with the courtesy of a doctor, and it could be seen from the relaxed look of the guests when he talked to him that Li Yan's sincerity and humility were not deliberately pretended, but his nature.

When the ship docked at the dock in Yangzhou, Yang Hao and Li Yan already had a friend-like intimacy, and Xiaoyu had already become a follower of Wang Fu'er's side, and every morning when he opened his eyes, he was anxious to see Wang Fu'er, and when he came back at night, he opened his mouth to be a "Sister Fu'er" and closed his mouth to be a "Sister Fu'er", and he was so intimate, if he met Li Yan, Yang Hao and the curtain guests feasted all night, she would share the bed with Wang Fu'er, it was difficult to distinguish between you and me,

Yangzhou as early as the Sui Dynasty has been the world's prosperous metropolis, to the Anshi Rebellion, a large number of northern population moved south, the economic center of gravity gradually moved south, coupled with the Anshi Rebellion after the northern feudal towns are becoming more and more serious, between the feudal towns, within the feudal towns, the feudal towns and the central conquest has never stopped, the social economy has been seriously damaged, at this time Yangzhou on the degree of prosperity has been far above Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan, Chengdu these traditional cities,

The down-and-out rivers and lakes carry the wine line, the waist of Chu is slender and the palm is light, and the dream of Yangzhou is a dream in ten years, and he has won the name of Qinglou Bo Xing,

The prosperity of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Hao was originally perceived from Du Mu's "Sending Huai", the poet Du Mu once made Niu Monk Confucianism in Huainan Jiedu as a curtain guest, this poem was written in his most lonely time, Yang Hao read a lot of his poems in later generations, but he didn't know much about his life deeds, he didn't know that the poet Du Mu at this moment was observing Cui Dan in Xuanhui as a curtain guest, not too far from here,

Perhaps inspired by this poem, as soon as the boat docked, Li Yan took everyone to the city with great interest to find the artistic conception depicted in the poem.

The purpose of everyone's trip is the famous Yijiang Building in Yangzhou, there is still half a mile away, the roadside is already full of Chinese cars and horses, beautifully dressed sons and brothers, young talents with eyes above the top, and many people come and go like carp crossing the river.

Yijiang Building is built near the lake, the building is five floors high, surrounded by water on three sides, after nightfall, it is decorated with hundreds of Chinese lanterns magnificently, beautiful, silk and bamboo strings, wine and red dress, people are not drunk first, Xiaoyu is completely stunned by the light, she can not distinguish between east and west, north, south and middle, so she had to hold Wang Fuer's arm and be led by her, Wang Fuer also bit her lip at the moment, became reserved, she felt a pressure, she was originally also a singer, in the past in her own one acre and three points of land was also regarded as an Oiran, But in response to that sentence, "people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away", compared with this ** sea, the one that I mixed back then was not called the rivers and lakes, at best it was a bathing pool,

Yang Hao has also been in Daming Palace for a few days, and he has really seen a lot of beautiful women, so although he was a little dizzy after entering the door, he finally did not lose his temper, Zhang Lang and Li Wei, who followed closely behind him, were completely dumbfounded, one of them opened their mouths, the other bared their teeth, walked around with one foot shallow and one foot deep, and they all bumped into Yang Hao's body several times.

At this time, I saw Li Yan's superiority, he was holding an ivory gold fan, walking a dragon and tiger heroic step, his posture was majestic and light, coupled with his handsome posture, handsome face and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, along the way, he lost thousands of girls,

Everyone asked for a luxurious private room, the seats were in a half-moon shape, Li Yan sat in the middle, and the rest of the people sat randomly regardless of the order, Li Yan didn't care at all,

The big shopkeeper of Yijiang Building came to greet him in person, and the singer and dancer behind him were like the crimson clouds, in fact, the big boss behind Yijiang Building was a spearhead from the Assassin Horse Camp Baoli Society, he was neither a minister or a student of the Thorn Horse Academy or Taixue Guozijian, his halberd was obtained by offering 100,000 taels of silver every year, with this relationship, regardless of the wind and clouds in Yangzhou officialdom, his Yijiang Tower can stand proudly like a rock in the cold winter,

The big shopkeeper arranged a few very distinctive songs and dances, greeted with a round of applause, taking advantage of the excitement Wang Fu'er pulled Xiaoyu to dance for everyone, Wang Fu'er's graceful dance won a piece of praise from the singers, and even singers specially caught up from downstairs to observe, but Yang Hao always felt that the praise of these singers was a bit hypocritical, the tone was like the tone of an academic music professor when evaluating amateur singers, and the full of praise could not hide the contempt and arrogance in his bones, but Wang Fu'er was satisfied, Her dance is actually just for one person to see, as long as that person is satisfied, she will be satisfied.

Li Yan kept staring at her intently, his eyes were full of infinite tenderness,

When Wang Fu'er was in full beauty, her dance partner Xiao Yu quietly retreated, like a defeated little rooster, biting his lip tightly, silent, Yang Hao was afraid of stimulating her, so he didn't dare to talk to her, after a while, Xiao Yu secretly decided to cheer himself up: "I must learn to dance, dance better than everyone else." ”
