Eating with Yang Tingshu and the two of them, this is another thing that Zheng Xunrui didn't expect, but he quickly understood that Yang Tingshu is still young now, far less famous than later, and Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, Zhang Pu, Wu Weiye, Gong Dingyu and others were together last year, just to feast Qian Qianyi, who returned from the capital, it was a very accidental situation, and it was that time, the previous Zheng Xunrui had a conflict with these people, and it was really a joke when I think about it.

When the two were eating, the conversation was very harmonious, Yang Tingshu directly recited the article written by Zheng Xunrui for the county examination, which made Zheng Xunrui very surprised, he remembered that when he was in high school, he didn't know how many times he memorized it, and later went to college, or kept reciting it, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other people's classic articles, he was basically able to recite them.

Yang Tingshu must not have read the article for a long time, and it is indeed not easy to be able to memorize it in such a quick time.

The two talked about some of the feelings of writing articles, and also talked about the understanding of the current situation, Zheng Xunrui didn't say much, but it can often play the role of the finishing touch, for example, when it comes to the scourge of the eunuch party, Zheng Xunrui unceremoniously pointed out that the disaster of party contention will not be worse than the eunuch party, and it will even be more strict, etc., which made Yang Tingshu impressed, and he became more and more unable to understand Zheng Xunrui, who was only fifteen years old.

After eating, it was still early, Yang Tingshu suddenly proposed, and the two went to Qinhuai River to have a look.

Zheng Xunrui was stunned for a moment, laughed and agreed, he must go at this time, as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, he is afraid of the well rope, such a psychological barrier, there is no zài in his place, the reason why he has not been to Qinhuai River later, it is because there are too many things, there is no time at all.

Qinhuai River and Qinhuai Bayan, I don't know how famous they are after a few hundred years, as long as they are men, they will imagine crossing to Qinhuai River and feeling the beauty of Qinhuai Bayan, he has already crossed, and Qinhuai River is in front of him, if you can't go to see and feel it, then I'm sorry for crossing this time.

It's a pity that Qin Huai Bayan, the eldest Ma Xianglan has passed away, and Liu Ru, the head of the oldest Qin Huai Bayan, is only thirteen years old now, and she is still a little girl, and if she wants to appreciate Qin Huai Bayan, she has no chance for the time being.

Besides, Yang Tingshu proposed this Jianyi, which is also a temptation to see if he Zheng Xunrui is a real hero, at such a moment, of course Zheng Xunrui will not refuse.

Sure enough, Zheng Xunrui's attitude surprised Yang Tingshu.

The two left the restaurant, sat in the carriage driven by Zheng Jinhong, and headed towards the Qinhuai River.

In fact, the carriage brought by Yang Tingshu is much higher, and the identity is different after all, but Yang Tingshu didn't make a sound at all, and when he was eating, he sent the carriage back, this action attracted Zheng Xunrui's attention, and he finally understood why Mr. Chen Hongshou said that Yang Tingshu was still good.

The ancients were powerful, especially in troubled times, as the saying goes, heroes are born in troubled times, which makes Zheng Xunrui understand more that if you want to gain a foothold and do big things, you must be relaxed, too arrogant is looking for death, and too cowardice is self-destruction.

The fame of the Qinhuai River is too great.

Zheng Jinhong is familiar with the road, he doesn't care at all about the young master's decision to go to the Qinhuai River, the young master is now the head of the county trial, what is it to go to the Qinhuai River, if anyone dares to bully and insult the young master, he Zheng Jinhong will fight with whom, no matter what the identity of the other party is, what happened last year will never appear again, not to mention that the son who went with the young master is the grandson of the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, such a prominent identity, who dares to bully.

When he was about to approach the Qinhuai River, Zheng Xunrui's face finally changed slightly.

Countless carriages and horses, heading in the direction of the Qinhuai River, the sky has not yet completely darkened, in the middle of summer, until the time of the Xu, the outside can be seen very clearly, and there is a bustling flow of people, most of them are in groups of three or five towards the direction of the Qinhuai River.

Unexpectedly, the Qinhuai River is so attractive, Zheng Xunrui began to adjust his understanding, maybe the Qinhuai River is not only attractive to the Qinglou, there should be a cultural atmosphere in it, otherwise it is impossible for so many people to go to the Qinhuai River, of course, there is also a situation, that is, the world is declining, whether it is a scholar or a scholar, what is pursued is to have wine today and get drunk today.

Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, there are two most lively places, and it is also called the place of the gold cave by later generations, one is called the tenth floor of Jiangdong, close to the Yangtze River, divided into two rows before and after, the front row is Zhan Fan Building, Light Smoke Building, Cuiliu Building and Meiyan Building, the back row is Dongmin Building, Juxian Building, Drunken Immortal Building, Heming Building, Acura Building and Drum Belly Building, Jiangdong Tenth Floor is in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to build, mainly used to earn the money of the rich, consumption on the tenth floor of Jiangdong, it can be described as a lot of money, ordinary people don't even think about it, Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of another six buildings outside the Jubao Gate, mainly to receive visitors from the Tusi and the feudal state, and these sixteen buildings, collectively known as the Sixteenth Floor of Jinling, are very famous in history.

The other place is the Qinhuai River, on both sides of the Qinhuai River, the continuous restaurants, teahouses, green buildings and gambling houses, etc., are typical pastime places, and the most famous of them is the Qinglou, so that many people in later generations think that the Qinhuai River is the Qinglou, in fact, this is a misunderstanding, Zheng Xunrui, who graduated from the Department of History, is clear.

Since the beginning of the Wanli period, the fame of Qinhuai River has gradually overpowered the sixteenth floor of Jinling, which is also because after the sixteenth floor of Jinling has completely become an official office, the hierarchy has become more and more strict, ordinary people cannot afford to consume, and it is difficult to enter some buildings, especially after the Fuller House under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education is stationed on the sixteenth floor of Jiangdong, this trend is even more obvious, the Fuller House is a government-run brothel, the main source of courtesans and prostitutes, is the daughter of the family of the offending officials, these women receive officials, do not receive ordinary people, Therefore, the people rarely went to the sixteenth floor of Jinling, and later the merchants gradually went less, and then later, many officials also went to the Qinhuai River, and felt that the popularity of the Qinhuai River was better.

As for the highest peak period of the Qinhuai River, it is the Chongzhen period, seven of the eight Yans of Qinhuai were all famous during the Chongzhen period, and the descendants also used the rise and fall of the Qinhuai River to satirize the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

After the carriage stopped, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu both got down.

A huge archway appears in front of you, after this archway, inside is the Qinhuai River.

Zheng Xunrui stood in front of the archway, watching, Yang Tingshu was thinking about asking, and found that Zheng Xunrui's eyes were clear and plain, and he didn't look at the archway, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn't speak, and stood next to him.

Zheng Jinhong was caught off guard, every time he came to Qinhuai River before, the young master got off the carriage when he arrived in front of the building, what happened this time, he came down before he really arrived at the place, but he was also very smart, and when he saw the young master standing motionless in front of the huge archway, he didn't speak, and waited honestly in the back.

"Brother Huaidou, this Qinhuai River is so famous, scholars and students, businessmen, and the three sects and nine streams from the south to the north all have to come here to take a look and consume some silver, it seems that if you don't come to the Qinhuai River, you won't come to Nanjing, this kind of situation is really strange."

Yang Tingshu blinked, he had never thought about this problem, to say that this is not a big deal, Nanjing City, that is, the Qinhuai River, is the most suitable for recreation, and there are naturally more people who come here for recreation.

"Qingyang, it's nothing, everyone is a pastime, it feels good to come, so naturally I want to come."

"I feel that the Qinhuai River has a unique charm, which can no longer be summarized as a pastime, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wind and snow, you can find bosom friends here, this kind of atmosphere is not a day or two to form, and I have spent some poems lamenting the Qinhuai River, I always feel a little superficial, they don't really understand the Qinhuai River."

Yang Tingshu's face was slightly red, and he also felt shocked, he originally thought that Zheng Xunrui stopped here to adjust his feelings, and it is no wonder that the previous shadow must have been in zài, and he didn't expect that people would think more far-reaching.

Yang Tingshu was a little unable to see through Zheng Xunrui, and at this time he was even more confused, he was simply confused, Zheng Xunrui was younger than him, but he showed his bearing and knowledge, as if he was his teacher.

After a while, Zheng Xunrui came to his senses, and he smiled at Yang Tingshu beside him and apologized.

In fact, at this time, he thought a lot, thought of Chongzhen's suicide in the coal mountain, thought of Li Zicheng's occupation of the capital, thought of Houjin's entry into the customs, thought of Wu Sangui's surrender, and thought of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

"Jinhong, the carriage will follow behind, Brother Huaidou and I will take a walk."

After walking through the archway and bypassing a row of houses, the Qinhuai River appeared in front of you.

There are already a lot of wooden boats on the river, different sizes, the wooden boats are hung with red lanterns, the light is hazy, let people reverie infinitely, on both sides of the Qinhuai River, rows of buildings stand, you can't see the end at a glance, each building, are hung with red lanterns, some are bright, some are dim, some of them are hung with red light yarn, from the upper floor has been floating down.

There are a lot of willow trees on both sides of the river, and it is the middle of summer, and the green willow branches gently sway with the wind, reflecting a different flavor.

Zheng Xunrui sighed secretly, such an environment is not attractive, it is fake, even if it is a walk along the Qinhuai River and feel the atmosphere here, it is a kind of enjoyment.

Thinking of the Qinhuai River in later generations, it has been developed into a famous tourist attraction, full of shops, bustling people who can't walk, and the Qinhuai River hundreds of years ago, I don't know whether it is progress or regression.
