"You haven't seen your husband Juli, but you don't know Lin Hu above the Son of Heaven? The left cangwu, the right west pole. Danshui is more south, and Ziyuan is north. At the end, in and out of Jingwei; Pickaxe and sluggish, reckless snakes, business inside. 'Swinging' and 'swinging' are like the diversion of the eight rivers, and they are different from each other"——

Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu" in the Han Dynasty depicts the Shanglin Garden in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty with magnificent rhetoric, and also leaves a good story of eight rivers around Chang'an.

The vicissitudes of life, the once beautiful Tianzi Lin Yuan has been wiped out in time, today's Chang'an only left the old site of Shanglin that was renamed Qujiang Furong Garden, but the eight waters still exist, of which seven waters flow into the Wei River, Wei into the Yellow River - from the Moling in the south of the Yangtze River, along the Hangqu all the way to the north, after turning into the Yellow River, and then against the Wei River, when setting off, the Jiangnan peach spit apricot buds, smoke willows 'fascinated' human eyes, arrived at the Baling Ferry, the ferry is like a cloud willow forest, but it is also a green 'color' Yingying, the difference between the north and the south, can be seen.

Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the willow branches in a daze on the upper floors of the building boat - the difference between Jiangnan and Chang'an, is there only one willow branch......

"Lady!" A crisp call interrupted Zhuo Zhaojie's thoughts, she turned her head, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chuqiu walked over and said respectfully: "Hachiro said that it was time for our ship to dock on the trestle, and now Saburo has been waiting at the pier with someone - it's time for the lady to change her clothes." ”

At this time, it was noon, Zhuo Zhaojie was wearing a homely dress on the boat, although Zhuo Zhaojie was her eldest brother, she was sent by Zhuo Zhaozhi when she went to Youjia, but this was the first time she met when she grew up, and she always had to change into decent clothes to show respect, Zhuo Zhaojie heard that he was about to get on the trestle, and he was in a hurry, and got up and said: "Why didn't you call me earlier!" ”

Chu Qiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, the lady is in a hurry, she said that she will arrive, but there are many boats here, and the river is not wide, so the boatman must be careful. ”

That being said, Zhuo Zhaojie is bent on leaving a good impression on his brother, although the dress has already been prepared, but he still solemnly chose it for a long time before he could decide, changed the snow green rain silk brocade twined grape pattern on the undergarment, tied apricot yellow and blue and white between the 'color' skirt, because now Chang'an still has some unfinished material 'spring' cold, and added a piece of Zhu fat sprinkled embroidery group 'flower' half arm, waist tied with two colorful 'flower' beads Gong Silk Gong Silk made by You Ling himself, wrist on the jasper 'jade' bracelet, neck wearing a ring of Yingluo, double snail wrapped two hanging East beads, another'Inserted' a pink 'colored' crystal step sway, a wisp of flame-like coral beads, falling on the left sideburns, snow-skinned crows and red corals - self-portrait in the mirror, Zhuo Zhaojie himself was also satisfied.

Before he got up, Ming 'Yin', who looked at Zhuo Zhaojie's personal and urgent things, came in, and said with a smile: "Lady, Hachiro said, San Lang will stay on the boat, please go down when the lady is ready." ”

"Exactly." Zhuo Zhaojie stood up, Chuqiu and Liqiu were busy holding hundreds of 'flower' brocade silks together, Zhuo Zhaojie held it on his arm, and Ming 'Yin' took another step forward, straightened the palace silk for her, and straightened the Yingluo circle, so he took a step back and waited for her to go down.

When he arrived on the deck, Zhuo Zhaocui, who had also changed into new clothes, greeted Zhuo Zhaojie with a smile: "Hey, I asked Ming 'Yin' to go over and say hello to you, why did you come down?" I haven't leaned up yet, and after a while, the hull of the ship is shaking and falling. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie walked up to him and said, "Starling help me, why don't you call me up now?" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui has learned some martial arts, although I don't know how he is skilled, but the next plate is extremely stable, the boat is bumpy in the Yellow River, he can stand firmly on the bow of the boat and laugh and fish with the boatman, not to mention this docking, Zhuo Zhaojie went all the way north, and the two brothers and sisters were also familiar with the boat, so they smiled and pulled his sleeve.

"Lang Jun, lady, please rest assured, the sky is clear today, there is no wind and no 'waves' in this water, so you have to fall on the shore, and a certain family will not have the face to eat this water in the future!" The boatman in the distance was sharp-eared, and when he heard this, he turned his head with a smile and reassured.

The boatman was really not bad, and he stopped the boat steadily while he spoke-the Zhuo family brothers and sisters all praised it, and the gangplank went down, and they saw a group of people waiting on the dock early, and when they boarded, there was a group of healthy servants surrounded by a man with a gorgeous 'jade' crown who walked up quickly, this man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a long body, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhuo Zhaocui, and he could tell that he was a brother at a glance, and his expression was very 'excited' - this appearance made Zhuo Zhaojie almost immediately remember the scene when he first saw Zhuo Zhaocui two years ago, and his heart couldn't help but warm.

Zhuo Zhao didn't even pay attention to Zhuo Zhaocui, who went up to salute him, and went straight to Zhuo Zhaojie to look at her a few times, his eyes were suddenly slightly red, and he choked up: "Qi Niang? ”

“…… Third brother! Zhuo Zhaojie called him, Zhuo Zhaozhen had already raised his hand to stroke her sideburns, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Father and mother have missed it so much all these years - my mother was going to come to pick you up in person today, but there are many things at home...... In more than ten years, you have grown so big! ”

At the beginning, Zhuo Zhaojie was sick and about to die, and he wanted to leave home, You Ji was not worried about Shen's suggestion to find someone in Gyeonggi for foster care, but no one could trust him, so he could only let his eldest son Zhuo Zhaozhi, who was only eleven, send his infant sister south - although Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't remember people and things at that time, it was a deep memory for Zhuo Zhaozhen, and now he came to pick it up in person, and it was inevitable that he was full of emotion.

- It's just that this emotion just started, Zhuo Zhaozhi didn't finish the journey, and suddenly several people squeezed through the bustling crowd and forcibly broke onto the deck, and a voice with a clear surprise shouted: "Zhao ......"

Zhuo Zhaojie was overjoyed when he heard this voice, and then his face turned pale with surprise - sure enough, Ning Shaobi was dressed in brocade, with a golden crown on his head, a folding fan in his hand, and walked towards him quickly!

"It's you who is looking for you, Zhuo Hachiro-kun!" She was at a loss, so Su Shina next to her immediately shouted, suppressing Ning Shaobi's next shout.

Zhuo Zhaocui was stunned and said, "Ning Shizi, General Su? I don't know what the two of you mean by this? ”

"Zhuo Hachilang-kun, I heard that you are coming back today, and the little master and a certain family have been waiting here for a long time." Su Shina saw that although Ning Shaobi was interrupted by herself, she was obviously a little absent-minded, and her eyes couldn't stop glancing at Zhuo Zhaojie, so she didn't mean to answer at all, so she had to continue to go out and round the scene.

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaozhi also frowned, and said lukewarmly: "General Su is waiting for his brother?" ”

Su Shina coughed, put on a smiling face, and said: "Don't misunderstand the two Lang Jun, that's the case, the little master also lived in Moling for a few days, and I still remember that there is a kind of candied fruit in Moling that is very good, but I didn't have time to bring it with me in a hurry, and I heard that Zhuo Ba Langjun returned from Moling today, and I think I should also bring some, so I want to discuss with Lang Jun, even some, I don't know what Lang Jun wants?" ”

I heard that it was for the preserves, Zhuo Zhaozhi and Zhuo Zhaocui's faces eased down, although the discord between Minping Hou and Yongcheng Hou is a well-known thing in Chang'an City, but the candied fruit, and Ning Shaobi personally came to ask for it, if they don't agree, it will seem that Minping Hou's Mansion is too stingy, and behind the father and son of Yongcheng Hou, there is still an eldest princess of Jiyang, and she can't let the eldest princess go to the emperor and queen to scold Minping Hou for a little thing.

Zhuo Zhaocui ordered, Zhuo Xuan personally went to carry a food box out, opened the food box in front of everyone, but saw that the candied fruit was all silver plates, and all the three-layer food boxes were 'drawn' out for the people around them to see, making sure that each silver plate was as bright as new, Zhuo Zhaocui took it and personally 'handed over' it to Su Shina.

"Starling looked suave and elegant, very talkative, I don't want to be a thoughtful person......" Of course, Zhuo Zhaojie knew the meaning of Zhuo Zhaocui's special order to use silver plates to fill candied fruits, for the Zhuo family, such a few silver plates are nothing, silver can detect poison, this is something that everyone knows, Minping Hou and Yongcheng Hou are not in harmony, this is not a secret, Ning Shaobi personally came to ask for candied fruit, although the Zhuo family agreed to come down in order to settle the matter, but they were also afraid that Ning Shaobi would take the candied fruit to fight against the Zhuo family and take the opportunity to murder, of course, he had to keep a hand.

Zhuo Zhaocui now let everyone see in front of everyone that the silver plate containing the candied fruit has not changed its color at all, which means that the candied fruit has not changed at all, so that Ning Shaobi took the initiative to ask for it, no matter what the result of Ning Yaobi eats it later, anyway, don't think about it on the head of the Marquis of Minping.

Ning Shaobi took the candied fruit, and looked at Zhuo Zhaojie deeply, but she didn't think of a suitable reason to stay, so she had to be secretly persuaded by Su Shina to turn around and leave step by step......

After such an incident, the brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family also had no heart to continue to say goodbye on the boat, Zhuo Zhaozhi personally commanded people to remove the luggage and load the car, so that Zhuo Zhaojie got into the carriage commonly used by You Ji - he and Zhuo Zhaocui were both riding horses, and when the team started, the steward brought by Zhuo Zhaozhi ordered to take a good look at the team, and said coldly to Zhuo Zhaocui: "You come with me!" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui didn't speak, he added a whip to his backhand, followed his brother, the two brothers left the convoy a little distance, Zhuo Zhaocui asked with a 'yin' face: "What's going on with Ning Shaobi?" ”

"I'm confused too." Zhuo Zhaocui frowned and said, "I haven't messed with him in the past two years. ”

Zhuo Zhao asked: "Really? Then what did he suddenly run over, and his eyes were still glancing at Qi Niang? ”

Zhuo Zhaocui frowned and said, "I don't know why he suddenly came over - but isn't it strange to look at Qi Niang?" This Ning Shaobi has always been a 'color' with Shi Wu, Qi Niangsheng's beauty, where is he a person who keeps etiquette? However, he didn't do anything other than take a few more looks, and we can't reason with him for this. ”

Zhuo Zhaozhi reprimanded: "Confused! When you went south two years ago, weren't you with Ning Shaobi? Is it really the first time he has seen Qi Niang today? Why do I think what he just wanted to say wasn't 'you're looking for' at all, it was clearly 'Zhaojie'?! ”

"What?" Zhuo Zhaocui was taken aback, couldn't help but restrain his horse, and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

Zhuo Zhaozhi frowned and reprimanded: "You give me a little quiet!" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui also noticed that he was too surprised, so that the subordinates all looked over, and hurriedly loosened the reins, letting the mount follow Zhuo Zhaoqing, and said in a low voice: "Third brother, this is not a trivial matter!" ”

"I only ask you, did Ning Shaobi meet Qi Niang when she was in Moling?" Zhuo Zhaozhi was a little ominous in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "You also know that the scene when Ning Shaobi broke into our ship just now can't be hidden, after we go back, we will inevitably be asked-what Ning Shaobi called is obviously 'Zhaojie', although Su Shina spoke up in time to suppress his last word, but I may not be the only one who can see it...... Qi Niang has just come back, and it is the little mother's family again, I can't ask her directly, you think about it for me! ”

Zhuo Zhaocui recalled, and said in a low voice: "I've seen it, I've seen it, I met it by chance when I was upstream in Qingcao Lake, and it is said that I was helped by Ning Shaobi - but Qi Niang was not alone at the time, several cousins and cousins were there, and later my grandfather went to the 'door' to thank him for this." ”

"That's it?" Zhuo Zhaozhi frowned, "What about later?" Did the two of them see it later? ”

"On my grandfather's birthday, I heard that Ning Shaobi pestered Qi Niang for a few words, and specially warned Qi Niang." Zhuo Zhaocui thought for a while and said, "At that time, Qi Niang said that he was just stopped by him and asked about the scattered subordinates, I told Qi Niang not to pay attention to this person, and Qi Niang agreed." ”

Zhuo Zhao groaned and said: "Let's talk about this matter later, in short, we have to insist that Ning Shaobi is here to find you for candied fruit, and the others will not recognize it...... Don't mention the things that Qi Niang and Ning Shaobi knew before, just say that there is no such thing at all! lest rumors of right and wrong arise! ”

"Yes!" Zhuo Zhaocui said busily.
