Chapter 703: The Beauty of the South

When I asked Ye Jiuqing later, he didn't say a word, as if he didn't want to think about what happened later, seeing that Ye Jiuqing's expression was a little difficult, I signaled to the others behind me not to ask again, and he would naturally say what he wanted to say.

Ye Jiuqing took us to stop at a blue brick and tile house by the canal in the ancient town, but it was in response to the sentence near the water, and it was here that we saw Shen Liuyan.

There are many places where there are beautiful women, Wu Yue Jiaowa, Luoyang daughter, and Aunt Mizhi...... Only the beauties of Yangzhou are the loudest and most widely spread, the so-called southern beauties, and they are very good-hearted.

Nanguo, refers to Yangzhou, here the Sichuan Ze is beautiful, the wind and rain run, whether it is Yangzhou or the woman of Yangzhou, it is completely appropriate to describe it with the words Zhong Lingyuxiu.

When I saw Shen Liuyan, I suddenly thought of Xiaojia Jasper, even if the woman in front of me was over half a hundred years old, but from between her eyebrows, I could still see the shadow of the peerless elegance of her youth, no wonder Ying Yuan would fall for it.

"Brother Ye, why did you come to Yangzhou?"

In Ye Jiuqing's description, before coming, I sketched Shen Liuyan's appearance in my mind, in my imagination, she should be quiet, tranquil, soft and lovely, like a gentle and soft voice like a poem, such a soft woman can intoxicate men's hearts even more.

At least when Shen Liuyan didn't speak, it was exactly the same as I imagined, but as soon as she spoke, the hoarse and harsh voice shocked me greatly.

"If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I will make a special trip to disturb you today."

"Brother Ye is polite, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Shen Liuyan's voice is incompatible with her appearance, but her speech and demeanor are quiet, not anxious and quiet, she welcomed us into the door, and out of the house came a woman of the same age as us, between her eyebrows and eyes she was graceful and poetic, and her soft and free temperament was as heartwarming as the Jiangnan landscape.

I can vaguely see Ye Jiuqing's description of Shen Liuyan when he was young from this woman's body.

"No regrets, come and see Uncle Ye."

"Uncle Ye is good." The woman is downright and generous, and her voice is like a nightingale whispering, which is intoxicating.

It's such a special name, I don't know who gave it to her, but I looked at her a little fascinated, not because of her elegance, I actually saw Ying Chengyuan's appearance from this woman's eyebrows, and I was secretly shocked, there must be something else in the middle, Ye Jiuqing didn't tell us.

"......" Ye Jiuqing was dumbfounded, looking at the woman in front of him in surprise, I guess he was the same as us, it was the first time he saw her, the corners of Ye Jiuqing's mouth squirmed a few times, as if he wanted to ask, but in the end he swallowed back. Okay, okay, you, what's your name? ”

"Shen has no regrets."

Ye Jiuqing looked at Shen Liuyan and nodded thoughtfully.

"Who are these?" Shen Liuyan was much calmer than Ye Jiuqing.

"Oh, it's my enemy." He called Ye Zhiqiu over. "It's Aunt Shen."

"Hello Aunt Shen, I haven't heard my dad say that he has friends in Yangzhou, and he didn't bring you a gift when he came here, so Aunt Shen won't be surprised." Ye Zhiqiu obediently held Shen Liuyan's hand.

"This kid has such a sweet mouth." Shen Liuyan stroked Ye Zhiqiu's head with joy.

Ye Jiuqing introduced us to Shen Liuyan one by one, but when it came to Tian Ji, he hesitated a little and hesitated for a long time: "Tian Qi, regret, regret Yuan's son." ”

I paid special attention to Shen Liuyan's reaction, she seemed to be very calm, but her eyes stayed on Tian Qi for far more time than for us, and she looked at her for a long time and said without shock: "Is your dad okay?" ”

"Okay, it's just that I'm getting older, and my body is not as good as before." Tian Ji is honest and honest, and he is polite and courteous in front of his elders.

There are clearly stories in the middle that we don't know, and there are some of them that even Ye Jiuqing is in the dark, I am curious about what the situation will be if Ying Chengyuan stands here today.

I have been paying attention to Shen Liuyan, and found that she was wearing a mask on her face, and after entering the door, Shen did not regret making tea for us, the moment Shen Liuyan took off the mask, except for Ye Jiuqing, all of us were surprised, Shen Liuyan's left cheek was full of dry and atrophied scars, obviously traces of being burned by fire, but it was a pity that this gorgeous face was like a piece of beautiful jade full of flaws, no wonder she would wear a mask.

"There was some accident a long time ago and my face was disfigured." When Shen Liuyan poured tea for us, she seemed very calm, and like her temperament, she didn't mind our abruptness.

We hurriedly withdrew our gazes, and the more Shen Liuyan was so still, the more curious we were about the accident in her mouth.

"Brother Ye, is there anything important about coming to Yangzhou suddenly?" Shen Liuyan handed the teacup to Ye Jiuqing.

"Liuyan, I want to ask you something, how much do you know about Wenchang Pavilion in the center of Yangzhou?"

"You are a phoenix without treasure, and suddenly asked Wenchang Pavilion, could it be that there is a treasure in Yangzhou?" Shen Liuyan smiled faintly.

"This time it's really a treasure." Ye Jiuqing took the teacup, but he didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, and replied in a low voice. "Jiuding's whereabouts may be related to Wenchang Pavilion."

"Jiuding?!" Shen Liuyan, who was so quiet, was also taken aback when he heard these two words.

"Uncle Ye, are you talking about the Kyushu Ding, which has been lost for more than 2,000 years?" Shen Buregret's expression was even more surprised next to him.

"We're not talking about the same thing." Ye Zhiqiu took over and explained. "The Kyushu Ding that has been rumored in later generations has actually been melted down by King Zhou Mu, and what was brought back to Xianyang by Qin Mugong was actually a giant tripod recast by King Zhou Mu."

Shen Liuyan's mother and daughter were shocked after hearing this, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and Shen Buregret hurriedly asked: "Since Kyushu Ding was melted down by King Zhou Mu, why is it related to Wenchang Pavilion in Yangzhou?" ”

"Dayu's Jiuding has not been handed down to future generations, and it was secretly hidden after the casting was completed, and the location is in the center of ancient Yangzhou, which is now near Yangzhou Wenchang Pavilion." Ye Jiuqing said as he said that he told the general situation of Jiuding 1510, he did not hide such an important matter from Shen Liuyan, which shows how much trust this person has in his heart. "I went to Wenchang Pavilion to investigate, it is now covered by two main roads, I came to disturb you, I just want to ask, you are engaged in archaeology, you are most familiar with the situation in Yangzhou, what is abnormal near Wenchang Pavilion when sampling?"

"The two main roads that run through Wenchang Pavilion have been repaired many times, because it is where the ruins of Yangzhou Fuxue are located, and I have participated in the exploration of the nearby area, although the soil layer sampled is living soil, but most of them are left when they are repaired, and nothing has been found." Shen Liuyan replied.

"That's strange, it stands to reason that Jiuding is hiding in front of His Excellency Wenchang, since that place has been repaired many times, why hasn't it been discovered?" I frowned and muttered to myself.

"Uncle Ye, why are you so sure that Jiuding is hiding under the Wenchang Pavilion?" Shen Buregret asked seriously beside him.

"I didn't plan to let her study archaeology, but this child has a soft spot for this drudgery, maybe she is destined to have an indissoluble bond with this industry." Shen Liuyan looked at Shen Buregret lovingly and said. "I don't want to ask about archaeology for a long time, but I can help you if I don't regret it."

"The real Jiuding is hidden in the center of Guyangzhou, and we have cracked the clues we found, the clues of the coordinates of the stars, and the location is in Wenchang Pavilion." Gong Jue said.

"Now the center of Yangzhou is indeed Wenchang Pavilion, but this so-called center is just the center of Yangzhou City planning, the real Wenchang Pavilion is not in the current location, you are afraid that you are looking for the wrong place." Shen said without regrets.

"So where is the real center of Yangzhou?" Xue Xinrou hurriedly asked.

"It's Wenjin Bridge." Shen Buregret blurted out.

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly took out a map of Yangzhou, but never found the location of Wenjin Bridge: "There is no Wenjin Bridge on the map?" ”

"When it comes to Wenjin Bridge, you have to mention the Wen River, but you can't see the Wen River in Yangzhou today." Shen did not regret explaining.

"Why?" Gong Jue asked.

"You see the two main roads that run through Wenchang Pavilion, which are the Wenhe North Road and Wenhe South Road in Yangzhou, which are the rivers of the Wen River."

"The Wen River is buried in the ground?!" I was taken aback.

Shen Buregret nodded and said, in the Tang Dynasty, this river crossed the city, connecting the north and south two water passes, and was the main channel for the transportation of the city.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, this ten-mile official river gradually narrowed, and eventually evolved into a small river in the city, to the Ming Dynasty, the official river regained its vitality, the two sides of the river were built Yangzhou Fuxue, Ganquan County and Jiangdu County School, so it was named Wenhe, take the homonym of the text and imply Confucianism and prosperity.

"Today's Yangzhou city pattern is formed after the Ming Dynasty, from the south to the north of the Wen River, built star bridge, Taiping Bridge, Tongsi Bridge, Wenjin Bridge and Kaiming Bridge, etc., there are four Bai Pavilion, Taishou Mansion and patrol salt imperial history Yamen and so on." Shen Buregret pointed to a place on the map and said. "And Wenjin Bridge is the real center of Yangzhou."

"How could such an important Wen River be buried underground?" Ye Jiuqing looked serious.

Shen Liuyan told us on the side that the matter of Wenhe is too long, and Shen Buregret probably doesn't know much, but she checked it in the Yangzhou Gazetteer when she was young.

Due to the demolition of the city wall between the old and new cities, a large number of bricks and soil into the Wen River, the river gradually silted up, to the fifties, Yangzhou cleaned up and rectified the old city, filled the Wen River in its entirety, built the Wenhe North Road and the Wenhe South Road, the Wen River disappeared since then, the Wenhe Road became an important street in Yangzhou City in the north-south direction, and the Wenjin Bridge was buried in the ground, and the Wenchang Pavilion stood on the ground.

"Where is the location of the Wenjin Bridge?" I asked.

Shen Buregret buried his head in the map and looked carefully at it for a moment, and his finger landed on a place north of Wenchang Pavilion.

"It's a big trouble now, Wenjin Bridge is under the main road, even if you know the location of Jiuding, it is impossible to blatantly dig the main road." Tian Ji was worried.

"You don't need to dig to find Wenjin Bridge, I can take you there." Shen said without regrets.
