Since that day, Fang Xuan has not seen outsiders, even her cousin Jiang Heng has to study hard and does not leave the yard, she just got up in the morning to greet Jiang Du and his wife, and then talked with Jiang Yi together.

However, Jiang Wen, the third girl of the Jiang family, specially came to her courtyard twice, and begged her to say some good things in front of Mrs. Jiang, and took her to the capital to see together.

Fang Xuan naturally declined politely, as for how Mrs. Jiang knew about it later, and how to punish Jiang Wen and her aunt for not following the rules, it was all Jiang Wan who told her.

This day came to the day of departure, because it was a waterway from the Nanhuai River, but not in a hurry to hurry, Fang Xuan and Jiang Yi brothers and sisters said goodbye to everyone, and ate a meal of dumplings, and when they arrived at the dock, Xiao Cheng and others who moved first were already waiting.

Yan Huai was not among them.

Jiang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and several people got on the boat together, and the accompanying items had already been arranged, not only Fang Xuan followed Qin Gan's half of the palace guards, Jiang Du also dispatched more than 20 people to escort him, and Qin Gan said back and forth that Gu Chen also got some new things in the Yuyang area as the queen mother's birthday gift, and he naturally had to send someone to follow.

In this way, it is all right, and there is nothing to worry about.

The water boat was built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the imperial family, and it was spacious and stable, and it was very comfortable compared to a horse-drawn carriage. Originally, Fang Xuan planned to use the boat specially purchased by the palace, but since there was a better one, why not use it?

However, after taking advantage of the convenience of Gu Chen, the third prince, Xie still had to say it.

After tidying up, Fang Xuan and Jiang Wan followed behind Jiang Heng, and after inviting the maids of the Xiangwang Mansion to give a respect, they entered the cabin that Gu Chen had specially come to entertain guests.

But seeing that the space inside is very large, the furnishings are simple and dignified, and the atmosphere is awe-inspiring, she took a cursory look, and everything is a rare treasure, and it is really a royal style, and the handwriting is extraordinary.

"Lord Wang." Fang Xuan and Jiang Wan sat on the right side and bowed down, Jiang Heng was the first to see Gu Chen who came in from outside, and hurriedly got up and saluted, greeting him in his mouth.

"The little girl greets the prince." Jiang Ting's voice was still as delicate as ever.

"No need to be polite." Gu Chen had never been polite, strode to the top, took a bite of the tea that the maid had just served, and asked, "I don't know what happened to Brother Jiang?" ”

None of the eyes fell on the right side.

Fang Xuan sat down as he said, looked at the good cloud tea in the teacup, took it up leisurely and took a sip, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

But in the cracked ice cup, the shape of the tea leaves is tight and thin, curly and beautiful, with the mountain spring boiling and brewing, the water vapor is like a cloud and mist rising up the mountain, ethereal. The product is elegant, the taste is light and fragrant and lasts for a long time, which shows that the tribute in the palace has such a superior quality.

Fang Xuan said secretly, I have always heard that Emperor Qianhui treats all the princes with a bowl of water, just because the crown prince is from Empress Yuan, but he is the son-in-law, so he is extra gracious, but when I see it today, even if he is as noble as the Son of Heaven and like ordinary parents, partiality is always inevitable.

Judging from Emperor Qianhui's various actions, she would never believe that she did not particularly favor Gu Chen.

However, Gu Chen's style is really eclectic.

Concubine De's virtuous reputation is widely spread, the Yang family is an honest and scholarly heirloom, and he was born to him, and he has completely fallen out, not to mention that he likes to dance with knives and sticks, and he is so high-profile and public, and he does not shy away from it at all, and still does his own thing, no wonder he is often criticized by the imperial historians.

Fang Xuan and his entourage drank tea silently, and the entourage secretly speculated.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the blessings of the Son of Heaven.

Presumably, as the sage said, "The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often a relative".

If it is hidden, it seems that there is a ghost in the heart, and such a big horn is revealed, although others are red-eyed, they will not be suspicious.

"This time it is a long way to Beijing, and there are many places to disturb the prince." Fang Xuan took another sip of tea, Jiang Wan bowed again, and replied softly, "The little girl and her brother have come to thank the prince." ”

Gu Chen looked at her, and saw that the corners of the woman's eyes and eyebrows were full of two points, and I saw a pitiful slenderness, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and she was half bowing.

He didn't move, withdrew his gaze, took the teacup in his hand but didn't drink it, and said to Jiang Heng: "Brother Jiang is too polite, this king has already said that there is no need to do this, but just by the way." ”

"Yes." Therefore, I talked to him before, knowing that he was a casual person, Jiang Heng was not very restrained, and said with a smile, "The prince is kind, and I am very grateful in my heart." ”

"Lord Wang." The maidservant who had served tea before entered the house and said something in Gu Chen's ear, Jiang Heng saw this and said, "The interior of this boat is exquisitely furnished, and the river scenery is nostalgic. ”

The three of them got up one after another.

"Lord Wang, the little girl is lonely, I just feel that the lakes and mountains are very handsome all the way, and it is really difficult to have this scene." Jiang Wei fell behind, turned around halfway and smiled softly, and whispered, "If the prince has leisure, he should also go and watch it." The little girl retired first. ”

Gu Chen looked at her deeply and did not refuse.

The Nanhuai River runs through the four prefectures of Annan, and meets the Beiyang River in the Anqing Prefecture area, if you go all the way up the waterway, you can reach Changfeng in 20 days.

Zhongnanfu is the widest place on the water surface of the Nanhuai River, there are four tributaries connected here, so the water business tourism is very prosperous, Fang Xuan pushed open the window, looking towards the river, only to see about dozens of cargo ships passing through it, in the vast Nanhuai River only occupies a corner of it.

Seeing the royal ships, the merchant ships avoided saluting and slowed down.

This huge ship, worth tens of thousands of silver taels, carried a few people all the way through the wind and waves, leaving all the ships behind.

The house where Fang Xuan was at this time was dedicated to enjoying the scenery, located on the top floor, and the view was the widest.

"What is my cousin looking at?" Jiang Yi went back to the house and changed her dress, came in and asked with a smile.

Because she was sick and weak, and she always took medicine, she always felt that her dress was stained with the smell of medicine, so she always had to change several sets a day and smoke them coldly with the fragrance of flowers.

Fang Xuan remembered that Jiang Wen had made a big fuss about this matter when she was young, saying that Sister Yan's clothes were exquisite and varied, and the fragrance was attacking, and she was making a fuss about making new clothes, but she was fined by Mrs. Jiang for copying 500 large characters, and finally she begged Jiang Heng to intercede in front of Jiang Du with a sore hand.

This cousin has always been the most upright and gentle, and treats people with sincerity and kindness.

Thinking of this, she turned her head slightly to look at Jiang Heng, but saw that he was staring at her, so she smiled back and said, "There are thousands of sails on the side of the sinking boat." I've been in the south since I was a child, and I've never seen such a scene, so naturally I'm stunned, and my cousin shouldn't make fun of me. ”

"Poof." Jiang Wan covered her lips and smiled, looked at her brother back and forth, knew his thoughts in her heart, sat down and said, "I have never seen it before, if I make fun of my cousin, I am afraid that my brother will talk to me again!" ”

"I ......"

Jiang Heng hurriedly retracted his gaze, his face was inevitably a little unnatural, he grabbed the pastries on the table and put them in his mouth to cover up, but he was choked, and suddenly hurriedly took the tea to drink, and when he got through, Junxiu's face was already red, and he couldn't even speak, "Mo, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Brother said sister is talking nonsense, or cousin is talking nonsense?" Jiang Wan pinched a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, the sweetness entered her throat, and her interest became higher and higher, and she didn't give up.

Jiang Heng was almost deserted and fled, and he didn't dare to look at Fang Xuan again.

Fang Xuan shook his head and joked: "Candied fruit can't stop my cousin's clever mouth, I don't dare to provoke you, Sandalwood, or let's go to the side to enjoy the scenery." ”

"Why is it that as soon as I come, the county lord will leave?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Cheng's cold voice came into the room from outside.
