Following. The half-moon journey was hard, Cheng Ying slept until three poles in the afternoon before waking up, the bamboo shadows in the garden were swaying, the autumn air was clear, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

So he freshened up a little, changed into a new thin jacket, and together with Rong Wei and Zhao Xiyan, stepped on the appointed hour and came to Tianxianglou.

It is said that this Tianxianglou (Note 1) is one of the best wine shops in Qiantang, falling from the middle of the Guizi month, the Tianxiang cloud floats outside the name, specializing in Jiangnan cuisine, the rich businessmen who come from the south to the north to negotiate business, and the dignitaries who go to Beijing and the south taste the south, just after the afternoon, the seat is sullen, and the shouting of the little two is lifted.

After reporting their names, Xiao Er brought the three of them to the Accord, and Su Qian and his party were already waiting at the door, and they came up from afar.

"Little Thirteen is here!" Su Qian smiled and greeted the three of them, closed the carved wooden door, and the lakeside attic became lively.

Everyone first met Zhao Xiyan with the monarch and minister, and then introduced each other, it was not the first time they met, Cheng Yingyan only looked at the woman next to Su Qian, and smiled.

"It seems that it was a good fate! My aunt would have seen it! It's still hidden, and it's not until now that I can find out my identity! ”

It turned out that next to Su Qian was the girl Nawei, look at her following Su Qian, her goose egg face was shy, and her identity was about to come out.

"Little Thirteen, this is you...... Ahem, future aunt...... Qian Wei. Su Qian scratched his head embarrassedly and pulled the woman over.

"It's not my aunt yet! The two families have just made a pro-family post, and the door is not half over! Qian Wei blushed, took a sip, looked at Cheng Ying and smiled, "The second girl is not strange." Seeing that you were in a hurry that day, I thought about waiting for today's ceremony, and Fang Xian was solemn, not deliberately concealing it. ”

After a pause, Qian Wei added: "It's God's mercy." In the past, I always listened to the wild history of Shonan, thinking that Empress Minde lived in seclusion in Shonan and was engaged in agriculture, and she had long been out of the world. But I didn't think it was the second flower of the auspicious shop, standing in front of him completely. ”

"Identity matters. Those who walk the world are Hua Er, and Ah Wei is careful not to leak her mouth. Su Qian Zhengse advised.

"That's nature. In the future, they will be a family, and the second girl will be my niece, and her safety will not be considered by me, an elder? Qian Wei pursed her lips and smiled.

Cheng Yingyu looked at Su Qian and Qian Wei, a pair of beautiful people, their eyes were shining with each other, and they were also happy, and they made a junior salute: "Cheng Yingyu has seen my uncle." Sooner or later, you have to pass through the door, this aunt screamed first, no loss. ”

"That's, that's." Su Qian listened with joy and laughed like a fool.

Cheng Yingyan looked at the woman behind Su Qian again and smiled: "Ah Yin." ”

"Second girl." Shen Yinyifu, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's like a world away." However, the second girl has to change her words, and now there is only Yin Sheng, and there is no more Ah Yin. ”

"Then, it's Ah Sheng." Cheng Yingbu took her hand cordially and looked her up and down, "Are you used to living in the south?" Are there any problems with water and soil? I heard that the Marquis of Pyeongchang entrusted you to my uncle's care, he didn't embarrass you, did he? ”

"Little Thirteen, you have wronged your uncle!" Su Qian feigned anger next to him, laughing and drinking, "Claiming to be exile to the outside world, I am here as a distinguished guest!" ”

Shen Yin also smiled and nodded: "It's just a joke." I have committed such a great crime, and I can still be treated by Uncle Su, and I am so peaceful and carefree, I am already grateful for the kindness of the heavenly family. The rest of his life is to live an ordinary life, and he doesn't dare to ask for more. ”

Shen ...... No, Ah Sheng seems to be quite interested in the flowers, so I asked her to take care of the Su family's flower garden, and she is known to the outside world as the Su family's flower maid, she has something to do, and her identity is also thoughtful. Qian Wei interjected, and seemed to be very familiar with Shen Yin, even called Ah Sheng.

Shen Yin smiled in response, pulled Cheng Yingyu aside, and changed his worried face: "Second girl, I don't know if Sheng Jing's side, my father and Ah Yu are all right?" ”

Cheng Yingyu patted her hand and comforted: "It's all good." After the Heavenly Family exiled you, they did not pursue the Hou Mansion. Hou Ye has a tough body, Shen Yu nests in the forbidden military camp all day long, tinkering with his "Yu Bing", full of thoughts of making meritorious contributions, and there is a hard-working Kangning Emperor next to him. It is estimated that soon, the Hou Mansion will add a daughter-in-law. ”

The last half of the joke made Shen Yin sneer, and Fang relieved himself. A slightly childish girl next to her also breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed with her palms together: "The slave must give incense to the Bodhisattva when she goes back, thank you Bodhisattva for bless them!" ”

Cheng Ying's eyes turned over, remembering that it was Shen Yin's personal maid, but he couldn't remember the name, Shen Yin answered at the right time, and pretended: "Liuxiang!" Girls talk, how can you interject! ”

Chen Yingyu suddenly sighed: "It turned out to be flowing incense." Your girl was exiled, and you traveled three thousand miles from north to south, and you followed, a good servant. ”

"The girl went south alone, and she was unfamiliar with the place, and the slave and maid were not at ease, so she naturally followed. The slave swore that no matter where the girl went, she would serve her for the rest of her life. "Liuxiang is not big, but his face is full of determination.

Cheng Yingyu was appreciative, and couldn't help but look at Liuxiang a few more times, she was a girl with a beautiful face and thin eyebrows. A group of people stood and greeted each other, and Zhao Xiyan, who was already sitting in front of the case, couldn't wait.

"Are you done? The good dishes ordered by Su Qian are almost cold! Come to Jiangnan for the first authentic meal, don't spoil it! ”

Cheng Yingyu, Su Qian and others laughed, and hurriedly sat down, Zhao Xiyan sat on the top, and as soon as he slipped down, Liuxiang was also given a seat and sat at the bottom. A table of people crowded to talk about the east and west, there is no need for the night rain in Bashan, it is a few confidants in front of the bottle.

"Everyone, welcome to my Jiangnan, Huaiyang Famous Capital, I will not let you down! Sauce duck ringing bell Urping perch Si Xuan ham dried bamboo shoots, and thirty years of flower carving, those who don't drink are not heroes! I, Su Qian, first salute the Sixth Highness for a cup! Su Qian was the east, raising the lamp and shouting, his face was as excited as red charcoal.

"You don't have to be formal, now it's just about old friends, there are no kings and ministers! Please! Zhao Xiyan raised his head and drank full, so he raised his glass at the seat, Yuezhou's famous wine carving, and sure enough, he opened a conversation box.

Su Qian laughed: "If you want to say that I am in the south of the Yangtze River, there are mountain temples looking for laurels in the middle of the month, watching the tide on the pillow of the county pavilion, and there are also bead curtains on the Mulan boat, and coconut wine pouring parrots." If you want me to say, this is the most absolutely important thing is to make a three-string plucked pipa and forget to return home with a song (Note 2). In the next Bucai, Tianju is the east, and today I invited a female gentleman, so how about you taste our Wu Yue words? ”

Cheng Yingyu leaned against the window, looking at the green ribbon-like river through the city outside the window, the black canopy on the winding river swayed, squinting and squinting with drunken red eyes and smiling: "Uncle, if you have anything good, just use it!" It's the first time we came to Jiangnan, and we all listened to you! The Sixth Highness is here, you can't hide it! ”

Zhao Xiyan also smiled and nodded. Su Qian clapped his hands, the Accord curtain was lifted, and a cardamom girl walked in.

Fourteen or fifteen appearance, Rongyun's face is still childish, two strings of jasmine in a black hairpin, a small red jacket, an indigo Luo skirt, a pipa in his arms, and a wrist like a green onion is stretched, revealing a green jade bracelet.

"Jiangnan is really beautiful." Zhao Xiyan smiled and prepared a reward.

After a few babbling tunings, the pipa was splashed with jade, the broken rice teeth slipped away, Wu Nong's soft words were tired, and the gurgling words were around the beam.

“…… The moon is about to sink, the night is deep, why hasn't Nong Yexiang entered the garden gate? Could it be that the master and maid of chess are sitting with a lamp, it is not that the girl of Douyun is carving candles, it is not that she is sick and lovesick and in a trance, it is not that she is cutting red and cutting cui without stopping the needle, or is it that she is facing the ...... of rhombic glasses at night makeup" (Note 3)

However, after hearing it for less than half a moment, everyone's faces became strange and looked at Su Qian.

Just because the posture is good, and the Wu dialect is also good, but the singing is really not flattering.
