After settling down at the inn, they went downstairs for lunch.

At this time, many scholars gathered in the lobby of the inn, and they were talking endlessly about the situation in the world.

There are also people who sing praises and praises for the wealth of Yangzhou and the peace of the people of Chu.

Shen Miaoyan listened attentively, and the object of these people's praise and gratitude was not Chu Yunjian, but Jiang Xun, the prefect of Yangzhou.

She smiled, these scholars have been staying in Yangzhou, and they have never gone out to see the famine outside, but now they are singing and dancing, but they don't know that even the rich Yangzhou is facing a huge disaster.

She was thinking about it, but she heard a calm voice sounding at the adjacent table: "Everyone, there is a big drought this year, and our Yangzhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the water source is naturally sufficient. However, in many nearby cities, the drought is very severe. I've heard that many people are heading north to find a way out. Although we are doing well now, we also need to be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”

Shen Miaoyan looked fixedly, and it was a man in white who spoke, shaking a sixteen-bone green bamboo and wood folding fan, and the expression on his face was very serious.

When his voice landed, another scholar immediately said contemptuously: "Yangzhou is a treasure of feng shui, even if there are natural disasters in the surrounding towns, it will not affect here, it has been the case for hundreds of years. Ji Gongzi, you are too worried! ”

As he spoke, another laugh immediately sounded: "Once upon a time, there was a person in Qidi who was always worried that the sky would fall, so he couldn't eat well and sleep well, and later evolved into an idiom, called worrying about the sky." I see, we are evergreen, and we are also committing a stupid disease that is worrying about the sky! ”

After he finished speaking, the soldiers wearing black scarves all laughed.

Shen Miaoyan quietly looked at that Ji Gongzi, he was not annoyed, there was a little smile on his handsome face, and he was still shaking the folding fan: "Everyone sit down, I have to take a look in the workshop to see if I can buy more rice, coarse grains and other things to store." ”

With that, he got up, arched his hand, and strode out.

Shen Miaoyan's eyes always followed him, but he saw that he was wearing a Confucian scarf, and his outfit was a popular praise belt among Jiangnan scholars.

The scholars who stayed behind laughed for a while, and then continued to drink and talk.

After breakfast, Shen Miaoyan followed Jun Tianlan to the market.

Chu Yunjian and Jun Tianlan walked in front, even if they were wearing ordinary brocade robes, they still looked handsome and chic, and they were magnificent.

Xiahou Ming walked beside them with his sword in his hand, looking around from time to time, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

Shen Miaoyan was much more relaxed, Jun Tianlan gave her a bag of broken silver in the morning, and she saw her favorite gadgets on the side of the road, so she bought them all.

She didn't know what Chu Yunjian was doing when they were wandering around the market, and only stopped when she finished eating two strings of sugar gourds and Ye Rin was carrying a large bag of things she bought.

Curiously, she looked up and saw an endless river, calm and clear, with a huge painting boat moored on the shore.

Even in the capital, there is no such luxurious and gorgeous ship.

The glamorous music came out of the painting boat, and in the glass appliqué window, there were more than a dozen beautiful dancing girls.

The southeast wind blows from the end of the long river in May and is cool.

She stood by the river for a while, not knowing what to do, and looked at Chu Yunjian curiously, only to see him shaking his folding fan and staring at the boat, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the gaze under his eyes was full of aggression.

Is there anything on that ship?

She thought about it, and looked at Jun Tianlan again, his beautiful phoenix eyes were also staring at the painting boat, which looked deep and complicated.

She didn't understand what they were thinking, so she had to continue eating sugar gourds.

The two looked at it for a while, talked in a low voice, Jun Tianlan bowed slightly, took two steps to the side, and grabbed a small guy who passed by in a hurry: "This little brother, my younger brother and I came from Nancheng to do gemstone business, I heard that there is a huge ship in Yangzhou called 'the city that never sleeps', I really want to see it, dare to ask but this one?" ”

The little guy looked at Jun Tianlan and saw that he was wearing just an ordinary brocade robe, so he couldn't help but despise a little, raised his thumb and pointed at the giant ship, and said with a smile: "This city that never sleeps, it's not for you poor people to enter!" Just to go in and take a look, it costs a thousand taels of silver tickets, which can only be entered by the official master and the rich master! ”

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Yunjian contemptuously and left with a smile.

Jun Tianlan turned his head and glanced at Chu Yunjian, as if he had given up, and turned around and walked towards the inn where he lived.

Shen Miaoyan licked the sugar gourd, not understanding what these two people were going to do at all.

After lunch, Shen Miaoyan took a long nap in the inn.

When I woke up, the sun was slanting westward, and the soft light of dusk filled the room.

She got up and washed, sat in front of the mirror, and was about to comb a beautiful ingot, Jun Tianlan, who was sitting in front of the window reading a book, raised her eyes and said, "If you want to go out at night, you still comb your hair during the day." ”

Shen Miaoyan said "oh", combed a double bun seriously, and put on two pink silk flowers, which looked very cute and cute.

She changed into an ordinary white dress and wore a pink placket and half arm, looking like a little maid.

It's just that the appearance and temperament are too outstanding.

Jun Tianlan put down the page, got up and walked outside: "Go downstairs for dinner." ”

Shen Miaoyan followed out curiously, not knowing what they were going to do at night, but it was obvious that it didn't look like they were going to visit.

Chu Yunjian, Xiahou Ming and the others were already waiting for them in the lobby downstairs, Chu Yunjian glanced at Shen Miaoyan who was holding on to the handrail of the stairs, this little girl was dressed beautifully, she looked pink and tender, and she was very pleasing.

He pressed the impritation in his heart, had dinner with Jun Tianlan, glanced at the street outside the door with the bright lights, shook the folding fan with a "swish", and smiled not to the bottom of his eyes: "Let's go, let's also go to see the city that never sleeps." ”

It turned out that I was going to the painting boat.

Shen Miaoyan was overjoyed in her heart, and obediently followed them out of the door.

Yangzhou night market is more prosperous than the capital, walking on the street, all the shops are shining, from a distance, this downtown seems to be a bright sea of lights, so gorgeous that people can't take their eyes off.

Surrounded by dazzling shops, pedestrians rubbing shoulders, from the Qinlou Chu Hall in the alleyway came out of the silk bamboo orchestra and the small song sung by the girl, revealing the unique soft charm of Jiangnan.

Shen Miaoyan enjoyed the night view all the way to the long river, the painting boat was like a huge luminous body, like a round of sun lying in the river, golden light, brilliant and dazzling.

Even if she came out of the rich and splendid pile in the capital, she had never seen such a luxurious scenery.

A golden ladder stretched from the side of the ship to the shore, Chu Yunjian and Jun Tianlan glanced at each other, and were about to step on it, when a person's whisper suddenly came from the side.
