"Four...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, the four girls, look here," Xiao Yuanzi, who guided them, said enthusiastically, "You can see the boats coming and going here, as well as the green mountains and white clouds in the distance, and it is most suitable to blow the wind and fish in this position." ”
As he spoke, there was a sound of messy footsteps behind him, and the two chamberlains diligently brought all kinds of fishing gear, not only fishing rods, bait, and buckets, but also fishing nets, harpoons, long-handled fishing nets, and so on.
Han Xing played with everything with great interest, Duanmu Fei couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes, and said in her heart: She really just wants to fish.
After the chamberlain helped to load the bait on the hook, the cousins sat down and fished, saying that they were fishing, and they were not idle at all, drinking tea and snacks for a while, enjoying the scenery for a while, and talking for a while......
Before I knew it, a cup of tea passed......
A stick of incense passed......
Half an hour passed......
The cousins ate a lot of snacks, but the bucket was empty, except for water, it was water, not even a fish.
Han Xing looked at the calm fishing rod and pouted, "This fishing rod doesn't seem to be very good, but it's a pity that Cousin You is not on this boat, otherwise we can find him to take a look for us." "Minzhou people are good at water kung fu, and it must be right to find Li Tingyou!
Duanmu nodded frequently with sympathy, that's right, it's definitely not that their fishing skills are bad, it's the problem of this fishing rod!
The waiters who served next to them had a somewhat strange expression, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads with their cuffs and exchanging glances with each other. Or would they go into the water and quietly give the fish to the four girls and hook it?
But there will definitely be a disturbance in this water, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the eyes and ears of the four girls, right? Maybe it's self-defeating?
Several chamberlains were entangled in their hearts, and wondered if they should learn from Lao Laizi to entertain their relatives and make the four girls happy for the overseer......
Duanmu Fei didn't pay attention to the attendants, she was looking at the sparkling river in front of her, the golden red sun in the sky was reflected on the river, and with the ripples on the water, the river was shining with a little golden light like countless broken gems.
She suddenly thought of Feng Yan.
If Feng Yan is here, even if he can't help her fish, he can help her catch a lot of fish with fishing nets......
Thinking of Feng Yan standing on the bow of the boat and casting nets to catch fish, the corners of Duanmufei's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help laughing.
Feng Yan didn't know when he would be able to catch up......
She couldn't help but turn her head and glance to the north, even if she couldn't see the capital from her current position.
The sand boat continued to move south, the flotilla gliding across the river, causing ripples, and when the boat was far away, the river slowly returned to calm, and the boat crossed the water without a trace.
After walking on the canal for a few days, Duanmufei showed no signs of seasickness at all, and he was alive and lively every day.
However, the good days were short-lived.
Although these princesses and princes traveled with them, their homework still couldn't be left behind, so Duanmufei didn't stay free for three or four days, and found that he had to go to class with Hanxing, and the whole person was not good.
The ladies in the study all recognized her, and they all turned a blind eye to her sleeping in class in a daze, just as if they didn't see her.
"Duanmu Four Girls ......"
A male voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and Duanmu was so startled that she suddenly came to her senses, and sat down on the ground, thinking to herself: Mrs. He won't let her demonstrate again, right?!
In the next moment, she met Han Xing's eyes that couldn't help laughing.
Han Xing laughed happily, and deliberately continued in a rough voice: "Don't worry, Mrs. He just asked each of us to write a word, and he went to the deck to see the scenery by himself." ”
Han Xing learned Mrs. He's voice vividly, and Duanmu Fei was really ashamed.
Duanmu pouted, looked at Han Xing aggrievedly, his big eyes flickered, meaning, are you embarrassed to scare me like this?
Han Xing sat down next to Duanmu Fei, rubbed her shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, tomorrow the boat will dock at Jinshanyan Wharf, should we go ashore for a private visit?" Han Xing blinked and coaxed Duanmu Fei.
A private interview with Weifu?! Isn't that just like a book, Duanmu Fei is energetic, his eyes are shining, and he nods desperately.
Of course she's going!
Duanmu Fei looked at Han Xing with a look of adoration, or Han Xing can play!
Han Xing smiled triumphantly and pointed to the teapot with his finger, meaning, he didn't serve tea to this princess yet!
Duanmu Fei poured tea for the princess's cousin without saying a word, and personally served the tea, and Zhengse asked, "Cousin Hanxing, do I need to prepare anything?" The dog's tail behind her wagged wildly, and her eyes brightened.
Han Xing took two sips of warm flower tea, raised his chin triumphantly, and then lowered his voice and said in Duanmu Fei's ear: "Father will also pay for private visits, but let's not go with him, father, it's too ostentatious, with him, it's not fun." ”
"Jinshanyan, this palace has been here before, and the impression is quite prosperous, especially in the south of the city, the various snacks there are very good, cousin, you can remember to have an empty stomach when the time comes......"
"By the way, there is also Qingzhou's Bangzi Opera is not the same as our Beijing Opera, it is very interesting and lively, you must go and see it......"
The two cousins muttered and discussed, and Han Xing completely forgot that she still had to write, so when Mrs. He came back, she was very happy and sad.
"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, after class today, you can write ten more words and hand them over to me tomorrow morning."
Mrs. He was not angry, he was still gentle and elegant, but Duanmufei, who also didn't write, was gently let go, and Han Xing responded with his shoulders slumped, and there was no excuse.
Shu Yun, who was also punished for writing last time, was unconvinced and had a hard time with Mrs. He, who only gave a sentence lightly, and then blocked everyone's mouths: "Your handwriting is as good as that of the fourth girl Duanmu, and I don't care about you." ”
Duanmu Fei silently shook his small fist at Han Xing, meaning, work hard, write these ten, no, it should be eleven, and they can go to Weifu for a private visit tomorrow morning.
Thinking of Weifu's private interview, Han Xing was shocked again, and asked Duanmu Fei to accompany her to write late at night that night, and the cousins were in good spirits.
The emperor's southern tour this time, in the name of rewarding the people, supervising the river affairs and coastal defense, observing the people, adding grace to the gentry, cultivating the scholars, parading the military and paying tribute to the mausoleum, and understanding the people's suffering, now passed through Jinshan Weir, and the fleet docked.
Although the emperor's ship will arrive near noon, but the holy driver is coming, who dares to really wait until noon to pick up the driver, waiting early in the morning, lest the emperor come early.
Looking down from the high boat, you can see thousands of people coming to pick up the driver, and everywhere you can see is a black oppressive human head.
"Welcome to the emperor to Jinshanyan, long live long live!"
After that, there was a cumbersome ceremony, and the emperor and some of the close ministers of the clan disembarked one after another, and followed the local officials in a mighty way......
With the emperor attracting the attention of others, naturally no one cares about Hanxing.
Han Xing poked out half of his little face from the cabin, glanced at the swaying Son of Heaven flag, hooked his lips and smiled, and beckoned to the rear, "Cousin Scarlet, everyone is gone, we can get off the boat." ”
The two cousins swaggered out of the cabin, both dressed in men's clothes, carved in pink and jade, looking like the sons of some big family.
Of course, their appearance can't hide from the waiters on the ship, the waiters are entangled and look at each other, in their eyes, the four girls just go out to play like this, it's really unsafe, what if they are bumped into by those ruffians like the play book, then how can it be good?
Or are they also disguised as civilians and quietly follow behind, protecting the thoughtfulness of the four girls?!
The two chamberlains hurriedly returned to their rooms to change their clothes.
At the same time, Han Xing took Duanmu Fei's little hand and walked along the narrow gangplank towards the riverbank.
She smiled and said: "Cousin Scarlet, we can take a slow stroll today, the palace inquired last night, my father will go to Yanju Garden to live in Xiaoqi today, and then he will go to inspect the embankment and supervise the river affairs, and it is estimated that it will take some time." ”
The emperor wants to inspect the embankment here, Duanmu Fei also knew it a long time ago, she had heard Duanmuxian mention that the flood in the area of Jinshan Weir in Qingzhou is a disaster, a small disaster in two years, a major disaster in three years, the flood broke the embankment several times, and the imperial court also allocated a lot of disaster relief funds.
This time, since the emperor came to inspect in person, he would inevitably say something, I don't know whether he will be exempted from the levy, or rebuild the embankment, no matter what it is, his grandfather will have a headache for silver again. Poor grandfather......
In fact, the problem of flooding here is not in the dike, but in the fact that the upstream river is divided into two tributaries, of which the tributary leading to Wenjiang City is easy to silt up, so that in the rainy season, the river water rushes to Qingshan Weir, and the river level in this area will swell, and the river overflows the dike, or even bursts.
Duanmu Fei glanced back at the sparkling river behind him, and was about to step off the gangplank, but was "blocked" by someone face to face, and there was silence around.
"Scarlet Watch...... Brother, where are you going? Li Tingyou looked at the cousins dressed as men with a complicated expression and asked.
The two cousins were caught and looked at Li Tingyou cutely.
Anyway, he was caught by Li Tingyou, so he didn't get in the way.
"......" Li Tingyou looked at the fearless appearance of the two cousins, and the corners of his eyes twitched, barely maintaining a polite appearance.
With his understanding of his little cousin and the fourth princess, it is impossible for him to stop these two girls alone.
Li Tingyou suddenly missed Feng Yan a little, if Feng Yan was there, he would just throw his little cousin to Feng Yan, and now he ......
"I'll go with you." Li Tingyou said helplessly.
"Cousin You, you are as good as the eldest brother!" Han Xing stroked his palm beautifully.
Hehe. The corners of Li Tingyou's eyes twitched again, every time Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess obediently called herself cousin, it would be fine.
Li Tingyou stretched out his hand to the two girls to make a petition and let them go first.
Han Xing was not polite to him, and walked in front with Duanmu Fei, and said energetically: "Scarlet watch...... Brother, let's go to the front for a stroll, there are a few streets near the dock that are particularly lively. ”
Han Xing enthusiastically led the way to Duanmu Fei and Li Tingyou, she was actually not familiar with Jinshanyan, but there was a Son of Heaven banner in front of her to guide the way, just follow the direction of Jingqi.
The street facing the pier is really bustling, neat and clean, with all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and colorful guigns fluttering in the wind, swaying vividly.
On the streets, people in clean clothes come and go, walking in the wind, and the shops on the side of the road look quite lively, and there are customers coming in and out from time to time.
Duanmu Fei smiled casually as he looked around.
Qingzhou Jinshan Weir has been flooded for three consecutive years, but now look at it, it is a scene of people living and working in peace and contentment, and the road is not left behind, the people on this street are well-dressed, and there is not even a patch on the body, and there are no beggars on the roadside.
The government of Jinshanyan is really "meritorious"!
"Cousin Scarlet, let's go to that restaurant and eat something." Han Xing tugged at Duanmufei's sleeve, Duanmufei came back to her senses and looked at a snack shop in front of her in the direction she pointed.
Han Xing said with great interest: "Cousin You, Cousin Scarlet, since you are in Qingzhou, you must eat corn pancakes." ”
"Take the crispy and fragrant pancakes and roll them with semi-fat and lean pork and green onions, the burritos are crispy and delicious, the pork is fragrant and soft and glutinous, not fatty, and you will eat with your mouths full of oil."
"By the way, you can also add some bean paste or sweet noodle sauce, rolled tofu, fried dough sticks, leeks, cabbage, fried small yellow croaker...... As long as you can think of it, you can get involved. ”
She said vividly, and Duanmufei's stomach screamed "gurgling".
Han Xing smiled triumphantly, patted his chest and said, "Cousin You, Cousin Scarlet, you can eat it, and the palace will ...... today." Childe is in for a treat! Tube full! ”
The cousins boldly ordered a table of dishes and feasted on them, but their appetite was not very large, and after a while, they were full of wine and food, and they almost had a full burp.
Only Li Tingyou was left eating slowly, unhurriedly, rolling a cake, eating and rolling a cake, and eating again......
Seeing that the plates on the table were almost empty after a while, Han Xing's eyes widened in surprise and praised with reverence: "Cousin You, you are really unseemly!" "What an appetite!
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Li Tingyou, who was drinking the consumption tea, was almost choked by the tea in his mouth, and his handsome face looked a little distorted.
Duanmu snickered secretly on the side, his shoulders shaking wildly. Who made her cousin so fond of pretending, fake Sven, this is revealing the stuffing, right?!
Duanmu Fei couldn't help laughing and said, "Cousin Hanxing, Cousin You can not only eat, but also have a lot of strength. She smiled meaningfully, and Li Tingyou chuckled in his heart.
After he got out of the restaurant, the cousins entered the state of "shopping, buying", and Li Tingyou naturally became a little servant of the two, with big bags and small bags, and they couldn't carry them with both hands.
After walking around for two streets, Duanmu Fei was tired of shopping, and happened to see the opera garden, so he hurriedly proposed: "Cousin Xing, didn't you say that Bangzi opera is interesting?" Let's go in and watch the play. ”
Han Xing immediately nodded in response, and said with great interest: "Cousin Scarlet, you will definitely like Bangzi Opera!" Her physical strength is much better than Duanmufei, she is still light and energetic.
In the middle of the words, the cousins walked towards the theater, and Han Xing still remembered turning around and greeting Li Tingyou: "Cousin You, I invite you to watch the play." ”
"......" Li Tingyou felt that he was not happy at all, and let the fourth princess have a treat, it would cost him.
The three of them were about to enter the theater building in front of them, when a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind:
"Fourth brother, fourth son of Duanmu."
Even Han Xing didn't realize that the "fourth brother" was calling herself at first, and when she heard "Duanmu", she also knew that the person who came was calling herself and Duanmu.
She turned her head to look, and saw four young sons and girls walking towards this side with smiles not far away, each face was very familiar, the second prince Mu Youchang, the third prince Mu Youjing, the third princess Shu Yun and the second prince Wang Tingwei.
The bright afternoon sun gilded these well-dressed boys and girls with a golden halo, describing them as handsome and outstanding, and many passers-by looked at them and secretly praised them.
The third prince, Mu Youjing, walked closer with a folding fan, smiled at Han Xing and said, "Fourth brother, you, the fourth prince of Duanmu and the fourth prince of Li are going to go to the play?" What a coincidence. ”
This is certainly not really a "chance encounter".
Today, the emperor went with the local officials to inspect the embankment, but he did not bring either Mu Youchang nor Mu Youjing.
The two princes are not stupid, and they know in their hearts that they are not the ideal heirs in the emperor's heart at present, otherwise they would not have taken them with him to cultivate, so the brothers are even more anxious.
In the past two years, the emperor has been lukewarm to the Queen Mother and Changqing, since Geng Hai passed away unexpectedly five months ago, now he can speak in front of the emperor and even influence the people in the court, and only Cen Yin is the only one.
Cen Yin has always been unruly and perverse, and he only treats people according to his own preferences, and he doesn't pay attention to these two princes at all, so the only thing they can work on is Duanmu Fei.
Taking advantage of this landing, the two princes both ran to Duanmu to offer their courtesy, but they found that she had already run away with Hanxing.
Mu Youchang was annoyed that Shu Yun was not as good as Hanxing, and he would curry favor with Duanmu Fei. Shu Yun saw that the second emperor brother was unhappy, and for fear of being blamed, he could only tell what he heard in class yesterday, mentioning that Hanxing would come to the theater with Duanmu Fei to watch the play. At that time, Mu Youjing also heard it, and he insisted on adding it, so it became such a foursome.
The four of them waited for half an hour in the teahouse diagonally opposite the opera garden, and finally "met by chance".
Mu Youchang knew that Duanmu Fei didn't like Chu Qingyu, so he didn't bring Chu Qingyu at all.
Mu Youchang quietly gave Shu Yun a look, and Shu Yun could only stubbornly say: "Hanxing, since we met, let's watch the play together." ”
Han Xing didn't want to pay attention to Mu Youchang and Shu Yun at all, and at this time, the second child in the theater came up and greeted them warmly: "How many guest officers are together?" There is only one private seat left on the second floor of the garden......"
Han Xing pouted, she wanted to watch the Bangzi Opera, and she looked forward to it for several days, but she really didn't want to miss it, so she had to reluctantly sit in the same seat with Mu Youchang and others.
Mu Youjing directly instructed Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, come a few pots of good tea, and then a table of your good dim sum here......" Saying, Mu Youjing looked at Han Xing and Duanmu Fei, and asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, Duanmu Fourth Son, do you want to eat dim sum?" ”
"And a few plates of melon seeds and pine nuts." Han Xing hurriedly added that watching a play is indispensable for these two things.
Seeing that they were generous, Xiao Er smiled more attentively, and responded again and again, and went downstairs with a "pedaling".
In the theater, whether it is the elegant seat on the second floor or the lobby on the first floor, it is full of seats, and life is boiling.
After a while, in the sound of the strings of banhu and erhu, the bangzi opera began, and today it was the first fold of the white snake legend that was sung.
Duanmu Fei and Han Xing were immediately attracted to attention and looked at them intently.
The singing of this Bangzi opera is high-pitched and passionate, and the movements of those plays are even rougher, and the demeanor is very exaggerated, and even the plot is unique, for example, the green snake who just appeared on the stage at this moment turned out to be a male fairy, with a flower face. The green snake fell in love with the white snake at first sight, but unfortunately the falling flower was ruthless and was rejected by the white snake, and the green snake would rather change from a man to a woman in order to stay by the side of the white snake.
Next, the face of the green snake has become a yin and yang spectrum, half flower face, half handsome face, and the head of the line is also left and right, which is full of fun.
In Beijing opera, the green snake is a daughter from beginning to end, Duanmu Fei and Hanxing are the first time to see this interpretation of the legend of the white snake, and they are watching it with relish.
"Good!"
The lobby downstairs erupted in warm applause after the green snake turned over a series of heels.
Mu Youchang also applauded with his cousins, and applauded continuously, and then he looked at Han Xing and Duanmu Fei with a smile and said, "Fourth brother, fourth son of Duanmu, father...... I think I'll be here for a few days to inspect the riverworks. There are many famous places in this area, such as Geumsan, Moon Lake, Shaofeng Pavilion, etc., all of which are unique, and it is rare to come here, so don't miss the ......"
Mu Youchang wanted to invite Duanmu Fei to play together, and his demeanor was gentle and elegant.
Seeing this, Shu Yun on the side was quite unhappy, and only felt that Duanmu Fei was just a mere courtier, why did he let his second emperor brother be so courteous to her!
Shu Yun pursed his lips and wanted to eat a piece of osmanthus cake, but he was absent-minded and accidentally hit his wrist on the teacup at hand......
"Smack."
The teacup swayed on the table, and a little tea spilled from the mouth of the cup, and the tea splashed right on Shu Yun's wrist, but fortunately the tea was warm and not too hot.
Shu Yun couldn't help frowning, a little embarrassed, she was about to take out a handkerchief, and a moon-white handkerchief embroidered with a few bamboo leaves had already been delivered to her.
Shu Yun subconsciously raised her eyes along the square handkerchief to look at the owner of the handkerchief, and Wang Tingwei's handsome face met her eyes.
The young man smiled at her, like a clear breeze and a bright moon, which made Shu Yun's heartbeat speed up by two beats.
"Bang bang!"
She raised her hand to take the square handkerchief, smiled at Wang Tingwei, and then leaned down to wipe the tea on her wrist with the square handkerchief, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a circle of ripples rippled slightly in her pupils......
Mu Youchang was interrupted by Shu Yun, frowned and glanced at her, feeling that she was such an adult, and she was still frizzy.
Mu Youchang suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and wanted to speak again, but was preempted by Duanmu Jing: "Fourth brother, Duanmu Fourth Son, you should also take a look at the legend of the White Snake in Sichuan Opera, the green snake in it is also a man's body, and with the unique face-changing stunt of Sichuan Opera, the green snake is shaped into a very distinctive ......"
The smile on the corner of Duanmu Fei and Han Xing's mouth disappeared at some point, they were watching the show, Mu Youchang for a while, Mu Youjing for a while, and Mu Youjing for a while, disturbing them all the time......
"If you still want to watch the show, if you don't watch it, go out!" At this time, Li Tingyou suddenly said loudly, still with a gentle smile on his face, but his tone was very unkind.
There was silence in the elegant seat, Mu Youjing looked at Li Tingyou in disbelief, he couldn't believe that he dared to talk to him like this!
Mu Youchang also had a subtle expression and wanted to have a seizure, but he was afraid that Li Tingyou was Duanmufei's cousin, and he was worried that he would not be able to please him today, which would make Duanmufei unhappy.
The atmosphere in the seating room was strange, and the strings outside seemed to be getting louder, and the strings were beating violently.
Duanmu Fei and Han Xing glanced at each other, the eyes of the cousins were surprisingly bright, Duanmu Fei winked at Han Xing, meaning, fortunately they brought their cousin with them!
That's right. Han Xing blinked thoughtfully. Cousin Yu is awesome.
Han Xing personally poured tea for Li Tingyou very diligently......
On the stage, the plot went to a wave of small **, the white snake and the green snake swore to be sisters, and the green snake swore to be with the white snake from now on.
At this time, the green snake changed its face for the third time and changed to the face shape of Danjiao.
The green snake on the stage was dressed in green clothes at the moment, with a slender body, a face as white as jade, red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful and incomprehensible appearance, which formed a sharp contrast with his other two faces, which immediately attracted another round of applause and applause.
"Good!"
The applause of the spectators exploded like thunder in the theater, and the sound was endless.
And these voices could no longer reach Mu Youchang's ears, he looked at the green snake on the stage with straight eyes, and wanted to applaud, but he forgot that there was a teacup in his hand, and the teacup instantly fell off his hand and fell heavily to the ground.
