The Song family now has the title of earl, in addition to the Yang Wei Dart Bureau, there is also the river transport army to pay attention to at any time, and the army of Da Chu is not vegetarian. There is no chance of any bloody plot of water bandits robbing ships and heroes saving beauty, and it has been calm along the way.

No matter how good the scenery is, I get tired of seeing it for a few days, and the girls pester the old lady to talk about the ancients, and sometimes call the fifth young master and the sixth young master.

"If you are not afraid of disturbing your study, you should always play together. It's hard to come out, and it's not in the way of a few days. When you enter the capital, you have to enter the official school, and the sisters have to learn the rules, there is no such an easy life. ”

After listening to the old lady's words, the fifth young master was not old-fashioned, but he also took his younger brothers and sisters to accompany his grandmother to think about the present. The sixth young master of Le directly regarded the fifth young master as the best brother in the world, and forgot how the "good brother" squeezed him before.

On this day, after waking up for a nap, the four girls and the two young masters gathered at the old lady's place again, and the sixth young master relied on the small people, and ran to the old lady after saying goodbye to the old lady, and asked the old lady to eat ice bowls.

On a June day, it was not easy to store ice on the ship, and the ice cubes used for eating were all bought by the old lady when she stopped at the port to replenish the ship. With the wealth of the Song family, and the old lady has always been kind-hearted, she is the shipwright, guard, and subordinates on the ship, and they have a bowl of ice bowls with sweet braised fruits to eat every day, not to mention a few little masters.

Only the ice bowl is cold, and it is not good to eat too much, so the old lady does not eat much, it is a bowl a day. The sixth young master's share was eaten before lunch, and now he has come to pester the old lady again.

In the Song family, when the boys were three or four years old, they had to move to the outer courtyard to teach, and they didn't come to the inner courtyard much on weekdays, except for inviting the family to sit together for a meal during the New Year's Festival. The young masters are more respectful than the old lady, but not close enough.

The sixth young master is better, when he was born, his sisters have been raised under the name of the old lady, and the third lady often takes him to play in Sui'an Hall, plus he is young, he will not be embarrassed to be coquettish, but he is the old lady's favorite grandson.

But when the fifth young master was young, the old lady was already heartbroken by her daughter-in-law's grandchildren at that time, even if she liked it, she would not be close to any grandchild, and when the old lady eased up, the fifth young master also went to the outer courtyard when she was older. But now that they have been on the ship for these days, the fifth young master has discovered that his grandmother is really a broad-minded and wise person.

She is not afraid to talk to the juniors about her experience when she was a maid, and she can also talk generously about her encounter with her grandfather, and she can analyze the current situation of the Song family with them and the various situations they will face after entering Beijing.

The grandmother told them, "In this life, there may be ups and downs. Or ordinary, you must have a calm heart, endure poverty, keep wealth, and endure loneliness. A wide heart is a wide road. ”

Therefore, the fifth young master knew a little more about his grandmother, and he was also very close. Now seeing that my younger brother and grandmother are coquettish and pretending to be stupid, making my grandmother laugh non-stop, I also have the intention of promoting narrowness, and said to my eldest girl: "I haven't eaten that bowl yet, bring it up." ”

When the sixth young master heard this, he thought that his brother had finally discovered his conscience, and he was going to turn on the "good brother" mode again, and looked at his fifth brother with a blank eye.

Who knows, the ice bowl was served, but the fifth young master didn't even look at him, and slowly took the silver spoon and sent it to his mouth one by one, and sighed a few times while eating, such as "Today's cherries are good", "This pear tastes amazing", "Hey, today's osmanthus brine is simply good" and a series of exaggerated sentences with actions.

I only saw that the sixth young master was sad and indignant, and he couldn't wait to snatch the silver spoon and put it in his mouth, but unfortunately, he had a thief's heart but not a thief's courage. And a group of female dependents were amused by these two brothers.

The old lady didn't expect that the grandson, who is the most serious (heheda, called sullen in modern times), would be so naughty and naughty, she really couldn't laugh. And Su Su usually knows his appearance, it is better to keep a low profile, but this time he was also amused to laugh, a small face is more and more beautiful, even the same woman can't help but tremble, let alone the fifth young master who is already a young man.

is not yet enlightened about the word of love, at this moment I saw Su Su's smile, my heart was beating fast, as if I was about to jump out if I didn't pay attention, although my face was not obvious, but the roots of my ears and neck quickly turned red. provoked the fifth young master to dare not look at Su Su anymore, and quickly looked away, but paused when his gaze moved to someone.

The fifth young master frowned slightly: the jealousy in the eyes of the fifth sister was too strong, and she couldn't do it if she wanted to pretend that she couldn't see it. This kind of gaze is too familiar to him, and when he was studying in Yangzhou, his classmates in the academy looked at him with this kind of eyes.

Although the emotions in the eyes of the five girls were only fleeting, Song Qingzhen believed that he was not mistaken. Thinking of my mother's private advice when I was leaving, I had to sigh: People must not be good-looking, and they must not underestimate anyone.

And the fifth girl also felt this scrutiny, and when she looked at it, it was actually the fifth brother, and she was stunned in her heart, but she nodded and smiled slightly, and she was full of the appearance of a supple sister.

The fifth young master is not close to this sister, but he doesn't have any disgust, because he is close to each other, and he often listens to his father's teachings, all the things sent to the inner courtyard, there are six sisters, and she also has a share. But these days, I am used to seeing the happy jokes of the sisters, and I am also bored when I compare her. It's like a little cabbage everywhere, in addition to crying or crying when something happens, it's rare to cry pear blossoms with rain, I don't know how I think his mother abuses her, or how to develop such a "cowardly" character? The fifth young master didn't bother to look at her anymore, and pretended to look away inadvertently.

The fifth girl didn't know that she had been exposed, and she was jealous in her heart, but she still smiled happily like everyone else.

Others didn't know the wit between the two siblings, and after laughing, the old lady didn't let the sixth young master serve another bowl of ice bowl.

The Song family started as a businessman, and they were able to become rich in Yangzhou in just a few decades, relying on the Song family's promise and doing what they said.

Although the sixth young master is small, he is very clever, and he knows that no matter how crooked his grandmother is, he will not change his decision, maybe the fifth brother will "train" him when he goes back, and the old lady called someone to go to the fruit telecom, and soon, the sixth young master forgot about the ice bowl.

The sixth young master and the girl are worthy of being sisters and brothers, and they both like to ask some strange questions. "Isn't the capital the capital, why is it called Changle?"

Yang Liu listened and said: "When the slave maid entered Beijing with the old lady, she was young, and in addition to being nervous and excited, she only remembered the tall city walls, the wide streets, and the courtyard with one gate after another. Listening to the sixth young master's question today, I found that I really went in vain, and I didn't know anything! ”

The old lady looked at the fifth young master with a smile, "Brother Zhen will give these 'no learning and no skills' lectures, so that they can have a long experience!" ”

The fifth young master tapped the younger brother who ran to him with the fan in his hand before saying, "Although we call the capital of the country the capital, it is not because the name of this city is the capital. The word "Jing" is actually the abbreviation of Jingshi. "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram" said: "Who is the master of Beijing? The residence of the Son of Heaven also. What is Beijing? Big also. What is the teacher? Crowd also. The residence of the Son of Heaven is said in the words of many greats. ’”

The fifth young master cleared his throat when he said this, and the sixth young master hurriedly poured a cup of tea for his brother and handed it to him flatteringly. The fifth young master gave him a satisfied look, feeling that his younger brother had never been so knowledgeable.

After drinking tea, Song Qingzhen continued: "To put it simply, Beijing, Jingshi, and Heguo all mean the same thing, it is not a name, but a collective name. All the national capitals can be called Jingshi and Jingjing. The names and locations of the national capitals of all dynasties are different, Shang has Chaoge, Qin has Xianyang, and Han has Chang'an. The original Yan Zhao land was the capital of our dynasty, and the founding Shengwu Emperor was originally named Beijing, and later changed the name of the city to Changle because of the construction of Weiyang Palace. ”

Hearing the explanation of the fifth young master, everyone here who didn't know, especially the maids who hadn't read much books, all suddenly realized.

The sixth young master asked the fifth brother to look at him, he was elegant, and nodded quickly, looking like he understood, "Weiyang has an endless and unfinished meaning, the city is called Changle, and the palace is called Weiyang, which is to take Changle Weiyang, and the auspicious meaning of endless happiness, right?" ”

The fifth young master touched the sixth young master's head, and he felt like he was smooth, and said with a smile: "The son can be taught!"

The sixth girl was not interested in these, and pulled the third girl and the fourth girl and asked, "Are there any famous talented beauties in the capital?"

The third girl and the fourth girl were all stunned when they heard this, and then their hearts were bitter. The two girls looked at each other, and the four girls thought for a while and said, "We don't know what talented beauties there are in the capital, but you asked Su Suyang to look at each other, don't be too disappointed when the time comes!"

The sixth girl didn't care, she only disagreed with her sister's words, "Sister Su Su is like this, only one in the world is enough." Although the beauty of the beauty has the function of skin appearance, it is also in the wind and bones, the capital is so big, I will always meet one or two that I look at. ”

The people and girls in Sui'an Hall are used to hearing this, but they don't think there's anything wrong with it. But the fifth young master couldn't help it, the corners of his mouth twitched, it was really rare for a girl like his sister to love beauty.

The old lady didn't speak at this time, all because she saw the embarrassment and bitterness of the three girls and the four girls just now, and she really regretted it in her heart, the foolish woman mistook her children and grandchildren!

When I wanted to come to the capital, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law had never taken their two granddaughters out to socialize, otherwise how could the two children not know what noble girls they could make friends with in the capital after staying in the capital for three years?

The old lady restrained her thoughts, replied to the words of the sixth girl, and gave a dose of heart booster to a few granddaughters, "Our family has no foundation in the capital, but your uncle also knows a few families that can be socialized, and when he arrives in the capital, he settles down in the capital, and invites him to come after a post. Later, when your sister-in-law comes in the door, ask her to take you out for a walk. ”

Hearing this, the four girls all smiled.

It was rare to get together, and the old lady left dinner again before asking the two young masters to return to the boat in front. The girls were still excited, chattering about the topics that women were most concerned about - clothes and jewelry, rouge and gouache.

Yangzhou has been prosperous in all dynasties, and has always been at the forefront of fashion, but this status quo has changed in Dachu. It's all because the founding emperor of Great Chu, the golden finger of his predecessors, is too big, I don't know what the origin is, he knows astronomy, geography, military politics, and food, clothing, housing, business, and farming. Not to mention the big aspect, just to talk about it, in addition to setting the curved deep coat as a women's grade of dresses and court dresses, but also to carry forward the skirts, half-arms, skirts, large-sleeved shirts, skirts, cheongsam, etc., and even the skirts have dozens of styles such as pleats, immortals, fish tails, etc.

Tell me, is this kind of tossing that doesn't give other generations a little way to live, is it really good?
