Chapter 30: Sitting Birds

After Yu Liben left Luoyang and went north along the Yongji Canal, Xue Chongxun hurriedly prepared his itinerary and prepared to leave the Eastern Capital, and the established route was to investigate the Jianghuai line along the Bianqu (Guangji Canal). In addition to writing a list of appointed officials and reporting them, he did something that was criticized before leaving: he bought dozens of prostitutes and went south with the ship.

On the surface, of course, he said that the journey was far away, and he took the prostitute to relieve his loneliness...... But with so many, the depth of the infatuation can be imagined; In fact, he was just trying to divert his attention, because he didn't want to go to Gangnam Province this time.

After the officials below sent those women to Xingyuan, Xue Chongxun took a look out of curiosity, and his appetite was completely lost at the moment: most of them were so fat that they couldn't help it, and their fingers were more infantile...... Xue Chongxun, who has the heart of a modern person, has no feeling for this type. However, he still reluctantly kept them, anyway, their role is just to avoid people's eyes, and he doesn't have to worry too much about how they look.

But the official who was doing the work was still proud, and Xue Chongxun heard him talking there behind the screen: "The people of the royal family are so plump and plump, I specially selected them." Hearing this, Xue Chongxun couldn't wait to rush out and slap the stupid official twice.

But thinking that the female hooligan Bai Wuchang would go along for a while, Xue Chongxun calmed down some of his anger a little. The batch of goods bought with money is really not as good as a female hooligan who doesn't spend money.

As soon as Qiē was ready, Xue Chongxun loaded a boatload of prostitutes, took a large number of guards, and after choosing an auspicious day for travel, he bid farewell to his colleagues and prepared to sail south. Officials at all levels in Luoyang were sent to the wharf, and several people wrote poems to give to Xue Chongxun. Xue Chongxun looked at the titles of those poems, none of them were celebrities such as Li Bai Dufu, so he didn't want to read more of the content of the poems, and planned to throw them away directly after getting on the boat.

Because he saw a poem that was actually "The old man sat on a bird to go down to the south of the Yangtze River", he wondered at that time, when did Lao Tzu sit on a bird? Later, when I thought about it, it should have been written as a bird...... These oblique officials, my mother is semi-literate, and she also learns to write poetry.

There was also a magistrate who sent a jar of things, and Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "Shouldn't it be gold and silver?" The official was stunned and said: "Wei Guogong's sleeves are breezy, how can I send vulgar things with copper stench?" The medicinal wine soaked in this jar has the effect of aphrodisiac and replenishing the yuan, so as to take care of the noble body while defending the country. ”

Xue Chongxun looked back at everyone and smiled: "This medicinal wine is elegant, how can it be an elegant word!" ”

Everyone laughed and echoed for a while, but Xue Chongxun was a little puzzled in his heart, weren't those farewell poems full of melancholy? Why can everyone be so happy when Lao Tzu is leaving?

Thinking that this matter might be ridiculed by a certain literati in the future, Xue Chongxun hurriedly wiped his hand on his face, and immediately made a sad expression...... He hurriedly looked back at the river, originally wanting to see the distant Zhiyuan scene of the lonely sail, but unexpectedly, his luxurious building boat was horizontal in front of him, and the warbler Yanyan on it waved a handkerchief to beckon......

Xue Chongxun sighed to himself: "You are sincere to each other, I don't know when we will see each other in the future, I am really ...... Alas, poetry is booming. ”

Liu An took the lead and chimed in: "Please write a poem on the spot, so that the lower officials can feast their ears." ”

Xue Chongxun lowered his head and thought, he didn't know how to compose poems, only plagiarism, and the first thing that came to mind was "the people of the past have taken the Yellow Crane to go, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here", but when he thought that this was Luoyang, it was completely undesirable. After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't remember any poems about the farewell, so I had to say, "I'll sing a song for you." ”

After he said that, he brewed a love affair, and sang as much as possible with reluctant feelings: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, the sunset outside the mountain, the end of the sky, the corner of the earth, and the acquaintance is half scattered. Life is a rare reunion, only parting and ......"

…… At this time, he didn't expect that because there were too many people in such a public place, the song was recorded, and later it was sung in the kiln of the brothel Qinglou, and it actually "won the name of Qinglou Bo".

As soon as he sang a part, at this moment, he suddenly heard a quiet sound of the piano, and it came from the boat behind him, which made everyone's expressions condense. The sound of the piano is melodious, and it is very clever to accompany Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun looked back and saw a white-haired girl sitting on the ship's floor, and the sound of the piano slipped from her fingers. The river breeze blew her silver hair in the wind, and her dress was also raised in the wind, which was really beautiful. When the officials saw it, most of the people who didn't know Bai Wuchang thought it was a famous prostitute brought by Xue Chongxun, and they were envious at that time.

This is not enough for people to envy, and the appearance of a female Taoist priest soon amazed everyone, and some people even began to be jealous of Xue Chongxun. Most people don't know Bai Wuchang, but the fame of that Yuqing Daogu is well-known in Luoyang officialdom.

I saw that Dao Gu riding a fast horse galloping over, not who Yuqing was, a beautiful and spotless face was simply extraordinary, so clean that everyone couldn't help but want to defile it with their own hands...... The key is that there are rumors that this female Taoist priest can be done, and many officials present have gone to Shangqingguan with hope, but they have all been categorically refused, and some have been humiliated. This made them even more depressed: Xue Chongxun had only been in Luoyang for a few days, how did he hook up?

"Xue Lang, take me with you!" Yuqing's tears swirled in his eyes, and he looked at him pitifully, really affectionate.

Xue Chongxun knew that these tears were not flowing for himself, but when he saw the admiring eyes of such colleagues around him, he didn't break it, and said with a lot of face: "This official went south to Jiangnan this time, it was to dredge the luck, to serve the country and the people, and it was definitely not ......to have fun."

"Oh!" The officials couldn't help but look at the boat full of prostitutes.

Yuqing looked up at the white-haired girl on the boat, and her eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment, but at this moment, the sound of the piano suddenly disappeared, and the white-haired girl turned around and disappeared between the gorgeous windows.

A large tear finally slipped from Yuqing's delicate face, she took two steps forward in despair, stretched out her hand to keep the white, couldn't speak, and said loudly: "Why are you so ruthless, don't I have any place in your heart?" I remember every word, every look, every action you ever said...... As long as I can be with you, I don't want anything, and I don't want the Taoist temple left to me by my father, as long as you ......"

The officials thought that she was confessing to Xue Chongxun, and they suddenly boiled, and they all echoed: "Xue Lang wants her!" "I guess a lot of people want to say: Mom, you don't want me! There are also people who look at Xue Chongxun with the eyes of a fairy, and they can't wait to say: Brother Xue, teach me two tricks to pick up girls, please.

Xue Chongxun was also very surprised when he heard this ancient female Taoist priest express his heart so boldly and straightforwardly, and at the same time with admiration, in this social environment, how brave must this be to say this in public regardless of reputation and rumors? Looking at Yuqing's heartbroken appearance, he sighed.

There are really people in this world who don't care about it...... Yuqing has never run the rivers and lakes, she chased it out like this, how can she survive on the rivers and lakes, hasn't she thought about it?

Xue Chongxun smiled bitterly and said, "Have you thought about it?" I don't have time to send you back. If you've figured it out, let's get on board first. ”

When the guards heard this, they let go of the passage, and Yuqing ran onto the deck.

Liu An's official position is almost the same level as Xue Chongxun, so he joked: "Xue Lang's methods, let me wait for good students to admire." ”

"Carving insects and small skills, governing the country and governing the world peacefully is the ambition in your and my chests." Xue Chongxun said with a smile, glanced at the river again, and sighed, "In this vast river and lake, I am deceitful, only love makes people worry about it, and I feel a lot." Say goodbye, he will meet in Fengchi (Palace) on the other day, and reminisce about the old feelings. ”

The officials saluted Xue Chongxun one by one, and Xue Chongxun boarded the boat and stood on the vermilion lacquer railing to wave goodbye to the officials.

After the boat set sail, Xue Chongxun didn't care about those women and prostitutes, and immediately summoned Fang Yuzhong and other henchmen, took out a map of the canal, and planned where to get off the boat and how to go straight to Youzhou by land. G
