Thousands of dragons are among the green bushes, and they will not be returned to Yangzhou.

It should be the Heavenly Sect that opens the water, and there are no mountains for more than a thousand miles.

As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away.

If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit.

This is the late Tang Dynasty poet Pi Rixiu's pen of the Grand Canal, the Grand Canal's topography, role and merits are all out, can be described as pertinent and vivid, especially the sentence "more than a thousand miles of land without mountains", the Grand Canal is vividly described.

Embraced by a group of guards, Liu Yuan continued his journey to Yangzhou.

The sky is also blue, the water is also clear, the sky is so quiet and tranquil, the air is so fresh and pleasant, the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait is breathtaking, making people feel as if they are in the picture scroll, Liu Yuan and Cui Mengyao and others, all the way to the south, and enjoy it, encounter places of interest, will stop the boat, stop for a while, on weekdays is not to make some of their favorite ornaments or to drink and chant poetry with a few women, or play cards or something together, happy as a fairy.

This is the feeling of "waist wrapping tens of thousands, driving cranes down Yangzhou", for riding a horse and riding a car, starting at this time in summer, hot and bumpy, a day down, it is estimated that the whole person is scattered, a day or two is still a little fresh, can resist, a month down, it is estimated that the whole person is enough to choke, and the boat can avoid this situation, all the way to the canal, the horizontal waves are quiet, the big ship is steady, such as walking on the ground, if necessary, you can also sail for twelve hours a day without interruption, the foot is not much slower than riding a horse.

Time flies, unconsciously more than half a month has passed, after experiencing a catastrophe in Mianshan Temple, there was no accident on the way, the road was smooth, from the Tongji Canal to Huaishui, and then ready to turn into the ditch. Go straight to Yangzhou.

On this sunny day, all the women sat on the bow of the boat, blowing the breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery, drinking delicious ice cream and homemade juices, and telling jokes from time to time, not to mention how enjoyable.

Li Li drank a glass of chilled juice beautifully, and then said with some unfinished meaning: "Liu Yuan, you are too extravagant, you consume so much ice every day, that is, when your father travels." I haven't seen it so extravagant, but it's nice to have a drink in this weather. ”

Although this boat is Li Li's, Liu Yuan has taken care of the food. All kinds of good things are not poor, especially the ice. It seems like I can't run out of things. It's early summer, and it's not surprising that the rich and noble people have ice hidden in their storehouses, but Liu Yuan can not only satisfy the use of a few people in a group, but also be rich enough to distribute it to those Yang Wei soldiers and subordinates, even Li Lizhi was also taken aback by his generosity.

"Huh. What is extravagant or not, the princess likes it. Liu Yuan said with a smile.

There is a way to make ice from saltpeter, as long as there is saltpeter, then there is as much ice as you want. Seeing that Li Lizhen, who was a princess, she also had envy for herself, and Liu Yuan's eyes were also colorful.

Hu Xin looked at the picturesque scenery and asked curiously, "What is this place, and how far is it from Yangzhou?" ”

"It's called Huaishui, and when we turn into Hangou and keep moving forward, we can go straight to Yangzhou." Du Sanniang said with a little feeling.

Three years ago, the streets and alleys of Yangzhou were spread Du Sanniang's fame, at that time Du Sanniang was still the gorgeous Oiran of Su Huai, with her own boat, it is convenient to go anywhere, in the idle days, Du Sanniang will also make the boatman play around, the right to relax, she is very familiar with these places, heard Hu Xin asked, so she patiently explained.

Li Lizhi also nodded and said: "Well, yes, I'm tired of taking a boat these days, and after crossing the ditch and arriving in Yangzhou, it's more fun." ”

"Princess, we can have fun now" Du Sanniang raised her slender jade hands, and said with a smile: "I didn't fight yesterday, and these hands are a little unprepared." ”

"Okay, let's fight, otherwise there will be no pastime on the ship all day." Li Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, and now she likes the pastime of playing cards.

In fact, it is indeed easy to be fascinated by playing sparrows, and there are many female stars and strong women in later generations who like to play this as a pastime, the most profound is that more than a dozen rich women recruit relatives together, and the condition for choosing a mate is to be proficient in playing sparrows and tolerate their playing cards.

When Hu Xin heard this, he immediately preemptively said: "Let's say it first, Xiaoxue is a little uncomfortable these days, the imperial doctor said that she is going to grow teeth, and at this time she is most likely to be frightened by heat, and now she is a little uncomfortable, so I don't play." ”

Daughter is naturally the most important in Hu Xin's eyes, and playing sparrows is a game that emphasizes patience and intelligence, on the surface it is peaceful, but in fact they calculate each other, and Hu Xin is not generally difficult to play, always losing more and less, at most losing nearly two hundred taels a day, and has the title of "Fortune Boy", the more he fights, the more depressed he becomes, and he is not enthusiastic about this nature, and he hurriedly pushes it when he hears the words.

Cui Mengyao, Xiao Niang, Du Sanniang, Hu Xin plus the princess, there are many more in a table, and sometimes Dai Qisi can also be on top, but now the situation is a little special, Hu Xin has to take care of Xiao Liu Xue, there is no way to do this, Xiao Niang is injured, and Liu Yuan is afraid that the other Yahuan will not take care of it, so he sent Dai Qisi to take care of Siniang, so it has become a situation of three missing one.

Li Lizhi hesitated, turned her head and said to Liu Yuan: "Liu Yuan, you come to play cards, there are only three people now, and there is still one missing." ”

On card skills, Liu Yuan is the highest during the banquet, playing cards has always been more and less losing, Li Lizhi did not suffer less from Liu Yuan, in fact, he didn't want to play cards with him, but now there are not enough people, just don't be happy, let Liu Yuan save the field.

"Play cards, okay" Liu Yuan spread his right hand and said with a smile: "There is no father and son in the casino, that, princess, now pay back the silver owed in front of you, and let's play again." ”

The last time she played cards, Li Lizhen lost a total of more than 1,000 taels, but Cui Mengyao and both of them gave it, but the more than 1,000 taels owed to Liu Yuan had not yet been settled, and he also said that he kept it for Liu Yuan, which was clearly a manifestation of repayment, and Liu Yuan also made less fun of her, but I don't know what Li Lizhen thought, obviously there is silver, but he doesn't pay it back.

Li Lizhi said disdainfully when she heard this: "This bit of silver, for you, is just a drop in the bucket, and you are still a general, which is really petty." ”

"Favors are favors, the number must be clear, there is no father and son in the casino" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "If you don't pay it back, I won't fight." ”

"Liu Yuan, you are too stingy" Li Lizhi deliberately raised his voice and said: "It's not that this silver won't be returned, this palace said it, when will you be in a good mood." Just when to give it to you. ”

Just when Liu Yuan wanted to refute, a somewhat weak voice sounded: "Senior brother, it's not your husband's action to treat the princess like this." ”

Little lady?

This voice is too familiar, as soon as Liu Yuan heard it, he knew that it was Xiao Niang's voice, and turned his head a little surprised, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Niang walking out cautiously with the support of Dai Qisi, and her thin body was so thin. That delicate and pale little face is so pitiful.

Liu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said with some reproach: "Little mother, your injury is not healed yet, why don't you lie down." It's not good if it hurts. After speaking, he turned his head and reprimanded Dai Qisi: "Dai Qisi." You really are, too. Let you take a good look at Madame, you are good, if you don't take good care of her, what are you doing when you help her out? ”

"Senior brother, don't blame Dai Qisi" The little lady hurriedly explained: "The imperial doctor said that my bones have grown, as long as they are not violent. Things like stop-and-go, it doesn't matter, just be careful, I've been in bed for so many days. I was lazy when I was lying down, so I wanted to come out for a walk, so I asked Daisy to help me out, and this matter was approved by the imperial doctor, so you must not blame Daisie. ”

"Really? The imperial doctor said that there was nothing wrong? Liu Yuan asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Well, that's what the Imperial Physician said."

Liu Yuan's mood suddenly improved, a smile appeared on his face, and he gently scratched the little lady's nose and said, "Great, you little girl, you are really worried about the death of your senior brother, don't be so stupid in the future." ”

"Hmm," the little lady whispered like a good baby.

At this time, Cui Mengyao, Du Sanniang and others also came over, and one by one they also shouted at the little lady and asked for warmth, and Li Lizhi also said happily: "Great, little lady is good, we can open the table to play, just now there is a lack of one, you are here just right, save someone here, as if the eight sedan chairs are not moving." ”

Speaking of the back, it was clear that he was referring to Sang scolding Huai, Liu Yuan wiped his nose when he heard the words, and did not speak: We are of high quality, and we are not as knowledgeable as beauties.

"No," Dai Qisi hurriedly said: "The imperial doctor said, the second lady should not be too emotional, nor can she be tired for a long time, and the most important thing is to play cards after half a month." ”

"You're good to come, then." Du Sanniang also wanted to play, and said on the side.

Dai Qisi stuck out her tongue and said: "The ladies and princesses are too big, the slaves and maids can't afford to play, they all lost all last time, if you really want to play, then the slaves and maids will accompany them." ”

One article and two articles?

It is estimated that they saw silver beans on the ground, Li Lizhi and Cui Mengyao were too lazy to pick them up when they saw it, who wanted to play with such a small lottery.

Seeing their depressed looks, Liu Yuan smiled on the side and said, "Okay, anyway, Liu is also idle now, so let's accompany the princess and the two ladies to cut off." ”

Li Lizhi said with some vigilance: "This palace is in a normal mood now, but I don't plan to give you silver." ”

"Don't worry, wait for the princess to be in a good mood" Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Liu is in a good mood, let's do it." ”

"Let's cash out the money and clear it." Li Li's eyes rolled, she was afraid that Liu Yuan would lose and would have to offset it, and she would not be able to receive the money, so she immediately put forward a request to settle the account immediately after playing a game.

Liu Yuan said briskly: "Feel free to do so." ”

Du Sanniang said on the side: "That's great, Dai Qisi, go and take out the cards." ”

"Yes, Third Lady."

In fact, Li Li's sixth sense is good, she feels that she wants to win, but she didn't think that her luck was really strong:

"Bump"

"Kong"

"Great, on the bar"

"Xianggong, you lost your prestige when you played cards today, three shots, the three of us want the paper in your hand, and you will lose three copies as soon as you lose."

"Ha Lu haha, Liu Yuan, you also have today, you are all inclusive, this palace has avenged all today."

Not only Li Li's hand was smooth, Cui Mengyao and Du Sanniang's luck was also good, they kept turning cards, except for Liu Yuan, soon, the silver in front of the three of them was piled higher and higher, and Liu Yuan had to let Dai Qisi make up the silver twice, and also borrowed three hundred taels from Cui Mengyao, and the several women who played cards were so happy that they even laughed a little out of shape.

Liu Yuan looked at the smiling faces full of spring breeze, and nodded secretly in his heart, fortunately, lose a little money and coax them to be happy, after all, Mianshan Temple and his party, those Tubo people came for themselves, and they were burdened by themselves.

Fortunately, looking at their faces full of spring breeze, Liu Yuanzhi said that time has diluted the shadows left in their hearts, and after walking through this short period of darkness, what greeted them was a better tomorrow. (To be continued......)

PS: I said it broke out today, but the state is really bad, it's the second watch, the artillery should adjust the state well, and strive to write better chapters to return to the book friends, otherwise they will be forcibly squeezed out, maliciously flooded, and the book friends don't like it, for now, the artillery is still satisfied with this book, and can't write it in order to make more money.
