Chapter 16 Yangzhou celebrities on the Slender West Lake

Early in the morning of the second day, Qi Su Niang got up, wore the half-old lake green magpie green floral scarf, Chen Yan personally combed her fisherwoman's bun, put on a floral headband, smiled and kissed her: "Such a peugeot boat lady, where is there on the Slender West Lake?" ”

Qi Su Niang smiled happily: "You just wear a green robe, let's bring tea sets and refreshments, and I will make tea for you. ”

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, changed his clothes, took Xiaolian to carry food boxes, tea sets, and clothes to avoid the rain and cold, leaving the girls to take care of the house, and put on a small painting boat on the edge of the small lotus pond in the back house.

Shuangfeiyan's small painting boat, only one-third of the size of the big painting boat, three zhang to the long, two zhang to wide, a small cabin in the middle, the cabin roof covered with a brown cover, red lacquer carved lattice windows on both sides, front and back doors, doors and windows are curtains and blue gauze hanging, extremely elegant, can sit seven or eight people.

Xiaolian is sixteen or seventeen years old, born strong, has always been steady, is Chen Yan's horse boy, and now he is also pretending to be a boy in Tsing Yi, with a happy face, in the boat? Ignite the fire on the red clay stove to boil tea.

Chen Yan stood at the bow of the boat, supporting the boat with Qi Su Niang, and said with a smile: "Su Niang, I will, you go to rest in the cabin." ”

Qi Su Niang was on the head, and giggled and said: "How can there be a boat lady in the cabin, and the guests come to support the boat?" Guest officer, this is downstream, and I am not tired at all. ”

Chen Yan laughed, lifted the hem of his clothes, sat on the bow of the boat, and watched Qi Su Niang fold with a smile.

The small painting boat comes out of the north gate and sails into the thin lake outside the city, which is the time of spring in late April, when the flowers on both sides of the river are in full bloom, and the green willows are shady.

There are a lot of painting boats on the Slender West Lake, not to mention the big painting boats of the rich giants, there are hundreds of boats supported by the boat lady, and the gorgeous prostitutes surrounded by Luo curtain and green screens can be seen everywhere.

It's April again, and the peony flower will be held. Dozens of flower boats sailed out of the suburban harbor. The front and back of the boat are washed in porcelain jars and vases, filled with flowers. Colorful. Flourish. It's really fragrant.

Su Niang arrived in Yangzhou for half a year. Fang is the first time to go out to the lake. See such a prosperous view. I like it very much. frequently smiled sweetly at Chen Yan. Chen Yan often socializes with Guankun celebrities on the lake. In the end, it's for business. Not free. Now the wife is on the side. The smile is like a flower. It's self-inflicted. Although there are hidden concerns. It's also forgotten.

All the way to the northern suburbs of Hongqiao. It's nearly noon. Qi Su Niang parked the boat on the shore. There are more than 10 Hongqiao wharves. It has long been full of all kinds of ships such as painting boats, Shaofei, flat-bottomed, Wupeng, and loofah racks. Famous restaurants and restaurants such as Drunken White Flowers, Zhichun Society, and Huifangyuan on the shore are crowded with people. It is full of tourists who visit the flower party and enjoy the spring.

Xiao Lian went ashore and squeezed into the crowd. I bought the fruit along the embankment, the ghost unkempt head, the three ding buns, and the Huangqiao baked cakes and brought them back to the boat. Three people on board? Brew the ground embroidered leaf tea well. Eat a big meal.

Qi Su Niang was satisfied. I held up the boat all morning. I'm also a little tired. Xiao Lian avoided the stern of the boat to wash the tea set. She touched her bulging belly. Nest in Chen Yan's arms to rest. Chen Yan touched her ground. chuckled. "Don't be angry with me now. Last night. You're crying and fussy. I panicked......"

Qi Su Niang turned over. Look out of the lattice window at the blue water. Muttered, "You have to bring me early." Will I make a fuss? This year. I can't just go out with the girl to play on the boat......"

Chen Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard her cooing, and saw that the green veil of the cabin door was hanging low, the bead curtain was swaying, and he kissed her on the lips and said vaguely: "Yesterday I was halfway through, and you pushed me away in a fit of anger, coaxed you for half a night, and couldn't ......."

Qi Su Niang smiled and gently pushed him, "Xiaolian is outside, this is on the river......"

Chen Yan pestered her for a while, and whispered in her ear: "Go back, I don't have to go to the front office this afternoon, I."

Qi Su Niang giggled, "Then I'll have to go back......"

Chen Yan smiled and helped her up, "I'll untie the cable." ”

Qi Su Niang walked to the bow of the boat, held the green bamboo, combed the somewhat scattered sideburns with her fingers, and smiled at Chen Yan untying the cable, and suddenly heard the sound of singing from the neighboring boat: "Yangzhou is good, the makeup is on the lower floor, the Luohan is high and stable, and the fisherwoman Xiaole is the most romantic." That lazy comb hair. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment and looked sideways. The neighboring boat is also a boat lady supporting a small painting boat on the ground, and at the bow of the boat stands a Qingqi scribe in a green coat and a green robe, holding a small wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, looking at her with a smile. There were three or four literati in the cabin, all drinking, listening to his poetry, and applauding: "Brother Wei's wonderful words, the demeanor of the boat lady on the lake, when the big white ...... floats"

Qi Su Niang vaguely heard some ridicule, but she didn't know what she meant, Chen Yanfang untied the cable halfway, his face sank, he stood up suddenly, glared at the neighboring boat, and the stern Xiaolian also stood up, just waiting for Chen Yan's eyes, he was about to scold and beat people.

Qi Su Niang was still shocked when she saw Chen Yan's anger for the first time, and stepped forward to grab Chen Yan's sleeve.

The scribe didn't seem to notice Chen Yan's anger, especially smiled at Qi Su Niang, shook his head, "Qing: three feet, covering the blue stream, light makeup and plain clothes are not interesting, and the abundance is absolutely pitiful......"

Qi Su Niang saw that there were many people on his boat, and she didn't want Chen Yan to fight in a confused battle and suffer a loss in front of her, so she couldn't help but pull Chen Yan and asked, "Brother Chen, is he teasing me?"

Qi Su Niang didn't know much about Yangzhou customs, but Chen Yan was born as a person, and he traveled with Yangzhou scribes from time to time to know their yuppies. Although there are many boat girls on the lake, there are many rough clothes and rough appearances, and there are one or two people with good looks, and there are scribes who feel that they are Chu Chu and moving, and they are not funny. At the same time, the poor boat lady is very hearty; The sons of the state love to ridicule with the mother, but it is just a flower appreciation

, but there is no intention of teasing. Like Qi Su Niang's appearance, there is no other one in the boat girl, and it is naturally easy to get the attention of scribes.

Chen Yan is open-minded by nature, but he has been an official for a long time, and it is inevitable that he has a heart of self-respect and self-esteem, that is, he dresses up in casual clothes, and his wife can't tolerate others to say more. He was already so angry that his face changed color, and he wanted to go over to find fault, but when he heard Qi Su Niang's question, he was stunned, his anger was vented, and he couldn't help laughing, "No, he's praising you......"

At that time, the scribes in the adjacent cabin also walked out, and two of them looked at Chen Yan and smiled in amazement: "It turned out to be Lord Futai, and Futai is so elegant and elegant......

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be a monk from Banqiao, Mr. Dongxin......

When the scribes heard that their parents were here, they all called their names and gave salutes, and they saw the Qingyi and plain clothes in Futai, swimming in the lake alone, and the mountains and rivers were really interesting, and they couldn't help but look at each other differently. Chen Yan heard everyone's name, all of them are Yangzhou celebrities, born arrogant, several people even disdain to appear at the Pingguan Mansion Festival Banquet, and have never seen the true face of Lushan, and today they can't help but rejoice.

The scribes invited Chen Guozhou to drink and enjoy the scenery, but they never expected that the ship's lady was still Mrs. Futai. Chen Yan couldn't tell him in order to avoid material discussions, and it was even more inconvenient to refute Yangzhou celebrities, thinking that it was just a neighboring ship, so he also gladly accepted the order.

Chen Yan also ordered Xiaolian to go ashore to drink, and whispered to Qi Su Niang: "I'll go over and have a few drinks and talk to them." ”

Qi Su Niang was relieved to see that she was not angry, she felt that she was lonely, but the names of several people on the boat had been mentioned, and she knew that they were the famous people in Yangzhou, and chuckled: "You don't have to worry about me, feel free." I'll go back to the cabin and sleep, just remember not to drink too much, lest you lose sight of me when the table is over, leave me here, and go by myself. ”

Chen Yan smiled dumbly, pinched her gently, watched her enter the cabin, closed the hatch door tightly, and turned around and crossed the adjacent ship.

Qi Su Niang was tired in the morning, and she only felt that the lake was swaying, as if in the cradle, and after a while, she fell asleep on the couch in the cabin. By the time she was awakened by the noise of the waves, it had been more than half an hour.

She lifted the curtain and took a look, and the painting boat had taken off the cable at some point, and floated from the shore to the middle of the lake, spinning in place, and the rainbow bridge had long since disappeared.

Su Niang hurriedly uncovered her body with lichen, hurriedly gathered her bun, ran out of the cabin, picked up the green bamboo on the edge of the boat, and slowly stabilized the hull. She looked around for directions, and turned the bow of the ship to the direction of Hongqiao, so as not to worry Chen Yan now.

The lake breeze blew, lifting the corners of the green floral scarf tightly tied around her waist, the scarf tied her slender waist and full chest, and the lake-green wide-brimmed trousers rippled in the wind. Unconsciously, Qi Su Niang's small painting boat was surrounded by two large painting boats.

"The gentlemen were still wondering how this little painting boat stopped in the middle of the lake and was ignored, but they didn't expect that there was a beautiful boat lady inside. Little lady, but tired? How about resting on the gentleman's ship? ”

Qi Su Niang heard it clearly this time, and knew that it was the prodigal son of a rich family in Yangzhou City who was molesting her, a woman from a good family, bowed her head and ignored them, propped up the bamboo, and bypassed the gap between the two boats.

When the two prodigal children on the big painting boat saw her like this, they laughed loudly, and while calling their own boatman to chase after her, they shouted, "Little boat lady, don't be shy, you love you......"

Although Qi Suniang tried her best to get rid of them, one was a small number of people, and the other was not familiar with boat skills, and it took a long time to work hard, but she was still surrounded by the two big painting boats in the middle of the lake, and she couldn't escape.

When the prodigal children saw that this beautiful little boat lady was silent, and lowered their heads to prop up the boat and wanted to escape, they laughed even more, found it funny, shouted at their friends, and summoned two painting boats to come over and surround them. Qi Suniang was surrounded by four large painting boats in the middle, and she could only see the hull of the large painting boat, and she couldn't find a little gap.

Qi Su Niang was furious in her heart, sweating on her forehead, thinking about whether to jump into the water and escape, go back to complain to Chen Yan, Ming'er checked the details of these people, and then came to settle the account, and suddenly heard a broken shout: "In broad daylight, there is no king's law, drive them away"

With this shout, Qi Su Niang heard that there seemed to be nearly 100 people shouting outside, and saw that the four large painting boats were scattered in a panic, and five or six river pacesetters were driving them away.

Qi Su Niang finally saw the light of day again, secretly relieved, looked up, and vaguely saw a big painting boat behind the military ship, and heard a sharp voice and smiled: "Master, it's no wonder that they are." The slave watched from afar, and the boat lady on the small painting boat was also the first person on this lake, otherwise, the slave asked her to come up and let the master take a closer look. ”

"You go and see, if it's okay, call it up and pour wine for the two heads of the house."

Qi Su Niang heard the familiar voice, the cold sweat on her back broke out, and she couldn't turn around and get back into the cabin. She barely calmed down, peeked left and right, and saw that the river mark military boat was driving the big painting boat, no one paid attention to her small painting boat, and secretly made her efforts to support it, thirty-six plans, and go for the best plan.

"Oh, that little boat lady, what are you running? I don't understand the slightest etiquette, our fourteenth master saved you, come up and kowtow to the master to toast" Fu Yourong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the ghostly and happy boat lady on the small painting boat, Fang shouted halfway, stared at the face raised by the boat girl, suddenly stuck the words in his throat, his eyes widened, his voice dropped an octave, and stammered: "You, you"

Qi Su Niang was sweating profusely, gesturing to Fu Yourong, handing over her eyes, and raising her hands to her head, just begging him not to shake her out

Fu Yourong was so shocked that he pointed at Qi Su Niang, and his voice was still shaking like a convulsion. I heard someone in the cabin scolding impatiently: "Dead minion, what are you shaking?" Ye Yuan didn't expect you to have any good eyes, as long as you weren't so ugly that you scared people to death, you asked her to come up and take a look, if you could sing a few songs, Ye didn't bother to kick you. ”

Fu Yourong came back to his senses and looked back aggrievedly, "Master"

Qi Su Niang was so frightened that she pinched her throat and called, "Master Fu Gongfu"

Fu Yourong turned back to look at Qi Su Niang, sweat on his forehead, his face was in a dilemma, and he was rubbing when he heard the footsteps approaching, "Little Fuzi, what are you grinding this slave What does that boat lady look like?"

Qi Su Niang walked up to the figure on the bow of the boat in a daze, the eighteen-year-old fourteenth elder brother was already a long stature, wearing a moon-white dark dragon pattern arrow sleeve sheet, a bright yellow belt tied around his waist, and gold cloud head satin boots on his shoes.

Or because of the warm spring sun, with a lazy look on his face, one hand crossed his waist, and the other hand shook the jade bone paper fan, first glared at Fu Yourong, Fang turned his head and swept Qi Su Niang's face indifferently, only at that moment, the change in his expression made Qi Su Niang's whole body have goosebumps.

The fourteenth elder brother was hideous, and yelled at the river mark military boat that was about to sail back: "The four painting boats that are not long-sighted bastards have been demolished by the master, and the people on the boat are thrown into the lake to feed."

Qi Su Niang stood stiffly on the painting boat, looking at the floating prodigal child who was undulating on the water and shouting for help, her heart was beating, and she only felt that the cold sweat on her forehead had flowed down her cheeks to the collar. The fourteenth elder brother stood at the bow of the boat, glared at her for a long time, and threw a vicious sentence, "You come up for the master." ”

Qi Suniang slowly walked up from the big painting boat and walked back to the cabin with the fourteenth elder brother. The people who were originally sitting in the cabin had already stood up to greet Qi Su Niang because they heard the fourteenth elder brother's big temper, and their eyes fell on Qi Su Niang, Qi Su Niang didn't dare to raise her eyes, and only heard a few voices secretly gasping.

The bead curtain on the hatch was divided on both sides, Su Niang entered the cabin, did not dare to approach, stood against a bead curtain bundle at the door of the right cabin, lowered her head, stared at the pair of gold cloud head satin boots, watched it walk back and forth heavily at the foot of the rosewood table, the more she walked, the louder the footsteps became, and the more she walked, the more you could not hear the slightest human voice in the cabin.

With a bang, the tea bowl on the rosewood table was swept down by the jade bone fan, smashed on the cabin, and the green tea splashed on the ground, and two or three points fell far away on the tip of the white Luo pin embroidered shoe on Qi Su Niang's feet.

Qi Su Niang was frightened, took two steps back, shrank into the bead curtain bundle, and suddenly heard a loud roar, "What are you hiding, you have the courage to swim outside, what are you afraid of losing the emperor Ama to return to the palace, and in front of the queen mother, you are simple and strict at home, and you are careful to keep women's morality, you are like this?" What about your Female Commandments? After a few years out of the palace, you forgot about "The Female Commandment" to the horizon

Although Qi Su Niang had seen the temper of the fourteenth elder brother when he was a child, and knew that he had a rough voice and a loud voice, she didn't expect him to be so angry when he grew up. When the two of them were eleven or twelve years old, she had the upper hand everywhere, and now they are both eighteen years old, and there is no comparison in momentum. When she got on the boat, she was going to pretend to be deaf and dumb to get by, but she was thrown out of the clouds, knowing that she couldn't pass the sloppy way, so she had to kneel down and say in a trembling voice: "Slave maid......"

"Okay, you still know that you want to call yourself a slave to the master, you also know that you are a slave promoted by the master, the master didn't point to you to find the silver for the master to do errands, add glory, you are safe and be your wife, thank God. Now you are like this" The fourteenth elder brother gasped and slapped the rosewood round table, "Chen Bianzhi has not taken a break from you, it is your eight lifetimes of blessing"

The wine bottles and wine glasses on the table made a chaotic noise, smashed two of them, and the wine splashed on the corner of Qi Su Niang's lichen, secretly scolding himself for calling himself a "slave" according to the rules of Brother's Mansion in a panic, but he could only kneel on the ground in An'an, for fear of angering the fourteenth elder brother again.

Li Siqin couldn't bear it and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lian Zhenyun.

The fourteenth elder brother stared at Qi Su Niang for a long time, and sat on the brocade stool, "Get up, it's useful for you to kneel there"

Qi Su Niang slowly stood up against the cabin wall, and the fourteenth elder brother looked at her and said, "What about Chen Bianzhi, does he know?" ”

Qi Su Niang swept her eyes away, knowing that there were only five people in this cabin, and said in a low voice: "I know......"

The fourteenth elder brother snorted coldly, "It turns out that he is used to coming out." Why didn't he follow you? He is relieved that you are alone? ”

"Separated......" Qi Su Niang said.

The fourteenth elder brother glared at her, "Where did you get separated?" ”

"Hongqiao ......"

The fourteenth elder brother waved his hand, Fu Yourong walked up, and said with a careful smile: "Master, the slave is here." ”

"Take a few people to follow her on the boat, send her back to Hongqiao, don't let Chen Bianzhi know." The fourteenth elder brother turned his head to look at Qi Su Niang and sighed, "Yangzhou is a land of fireworks, although he has spoiled you for a few years, the days ahead will be long." Settle down, and take a concubine for him, and bear him a son, and if he is ...... I can still speak for you......"
