Day 2 of the cruise.

The windows cast a thin glimmer of light, like cicada wings.

Liu Ruyan woke up early, and was taken by the beginning of winter, the unique humidity and coolness of the south.

When he raised his head, he found that the two of them were sleeping on their knees, and she had a pair of lotus arms around the back of his neck, which was even more intimate.

Almost instantly, she remembered what she had said last night.

- You can't sleep well at night.

The commission is unstable.

Liu Ruyan withdrew one hand, but the other one was still pillowed under his neck.

She wrestled at her arm, still unmoving.

Glanced at him secretly, then sat up half-propped up, little by little, cautiously moving out.

As soon as she withdrew her fingers, the sleeping man suddenly turned over, grabbed her, and said in a vague voice: "Sleepy, don't make trouble." ”

Her face turned red, just because the lip flap touched the corner of his mouth, and she only had to tilt her head slightly to kiss it.

The sound of a heartbeat was pounding, disorganized, and overwhelmed.

The man in front of him didn't realize it, his eyes were closed, his lips were crimson, and he made a shallow arc.

She couldn't help but say secretly - beauty is confusing.

Then he raised his head and gave a small peck quickly.

The heartbeat grew more and more violent.

She held her breath, surprised that it wasn't the first time she had touched him, why...... Nervous.

Nervous, his fingertips tugged at the placket of his clothes, wringing out countless wrinkles.

Liu Ruyan suddenly let go.

She turned her face sideways and bit her lower lip, rarely revealing a hint of her daughter's embarrassment.

However, she thought in her heart - she has always respected Shen Yanchu as a brother, a good brother who can treat each other with all sincerity, go to the soup and fight the fire, and stick a knife in both sides.

But how can there be selfish desires between brothers?

She frowned, secretly annoyed.

It's just that this guy is very good-looking, and she is moved by spring.

O sin, sin.

She introspected, frowned, and sat up.

Shen Yanchu was awakened by her movements, and then opened his eyes, and at a glance he saw the girl sitting on the side of the collapse with a blank face.

"Are you awake......" Liu Ruyan realized later, "I...... I'm going to get some food ......."

With that, she walked out without looking back.

Near noon, the carpenter repaired the couch.

Liu Ruyan had nothing to do, standing upstairs and watching.

Today, there are literary giants gathered, and the deck of Nuoda is lined with tables and chairs, and all scholars are gathered there.

The table in the middle was full of calligraphy and paintings, and a man in a cloth shirt said: "You have lost the handwriting of the calligraphy master Yan Zhenqing, what else can Brother He get his hands on?" ”

Opposite him, He Zhixun's face was pale, and he immediately took off a bracelet and put it on the table: "Master Huineng's thing!" ”

Everyone was amazed.

The people gathered here are Jiangnan writers, each of whom is proud of their own high spirits, and disdains to be in the company of red dust and vulgar things.

This Master Huineng is extremely famous, and the things he wears are naturally not ordinary.

When He Zhixun took out the bracelet, his face was already unbearable, his poetry and songs were all fine, and he enjoyed a good reputation in Jinling, but he lost to a scholar in the mountains.

The scholar crossed his hands and stepped forward: "Accept." ”

After a stick of incense, He Zhixun was defeated again.

"The first word is not up to standard, this time change my proposition!"

The scholar didn't want to entangle with him too much, so he rejected him and said: "Brother He has lost two games in a row, so it's better to stop there and try again next time." ”

"Don't wait until next time!" He Zhixun said eagerly, "Isn't it just that I'm worried that I won't be able to come up with something to compete with you if I lose everything, I have it!" ”

With that, he dragged a woman wearing a hood and uncovered the soap veil from the brim of the hat in public.

"Qin Huai singer, Mu Qing!"

The scholar turned his head suddenly.

When the others heard the word Mu Qing, they also looked at each other.

"When it comes to Miss Muqing, no one knows about the literati, and no one knows."

"I heard that she was originally a painter singer, and her music skills were extraordinary, and it was difficult to find a lot of money in Qinhuai."

"Isn't there another rumor in the market that Mu Qing fell in love with a merry and talented man and ran away with someone?"

Everyone was talking, and their eyes involuntarily looked at He Zhixun.

- Scumbag.

"Take her as a bet, and I will be able to please the lottery this time." He Zhixun said.

The scholar frowned tightly and put away the desk and desk supplies.

He Zhixun saw that people were leaving, and immediately stopped the scholar.

"Take people as a note, and forgive you for not being able to accompany you." The scholar refused, "As for this Buddha bead of Master Huineng, I also ask Brother He to keep it." ”

The scholar put down his bracelet and walked out of the crowd.

He Zhixun's face was unhappy, and after all, he dragged Mu Qing away from the crowd.

The third day of the cruise.

Houses gradually appeared on the shore, and peasants could be faintly seen on the criss-crossed strange roads.

In the end, the Guangzhou ship docked at the wharf, and Liu Ruyan and his party drove the carriage ashore one after another.

At this time, it is evening, and the sunset is sprinkled with afterglow, reflecting the fishing lights on the shore.

Several carriages drove slowly, and Liu Ruyan sat on her side, flicking her horsewhip without a ride.

Outside Jinling City, the road was full of vendors, and a group of children clapping their hands and running past her.

"Sugar potato, sugar taro seedlings, osmanthus wine brewed small Lantern Festival."

"Bean paste strips, water chestnut cakes, and pine nut tea cakes are running all over the street."

"Sugar porridge lotus, five-spice lotus, jujube paste stuffed yam peach."

……

The children ran across the street, bought wine-stuffed balls from the vendors, and each person had a bowl, and were eating happily.

Liu Ruyan glanced at it casually, and the sweet smell of wine wafted slowly in the steaming cauldron.

She leaned forward, only to see the small, soft and glutinous white dumplings in the pot rising and falling, and their appearance was coveted.

"What's that?" She raised her finger.

"It's sake balls." Dong Qingxian looked at her with a smile, "Special snacks in the Jiangnan area." ”

"Wine-brewed balls?" Liu Ruyan muttered in a low voice, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Dong Qingxian smiled: "You grew up in the north, and you have never tasted southern snacks. ”

After the words fell, Jin Buchang's carriage came from behind, he opened the seat, and looked at the boy opposite, but his eyebrows were deeply twisted.

"Hua Shao, buy me a bowl." Jin Buchang stepped out of the carriage and threw out two copper coins.

The little guy took the copper plate and crossed his hands.

After a while, Jin Buchang held the silver spoon in his hand, and the balls at the bottom of the bowl and the wine brewed kept rippling, until the swirling heat blurred his vision, and Jin Buchang took a shallow sip.

"What does it taste like?" Liu Ruyan sat at the table and asked him.

Jin Buchang put down the silver spoon, his face was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his lips slanted, and he said as if recalling: "It's really sweet, Brother Liu wants to taste it?" ”

With that, he handed the bowl over.

Partial willow Ruyan didn't like sweets, so she hurriedly avoided it.

At this moment, a hand reached out from behind her and intercepted the sake dumplings halfway.

Shen Yanchu's face was displeased, and he put the bowl in front of Jin Buchang, "This bowl of sweet soup will be returned to Jin Gongzi." ”

Jin Buchang smiled and didn't say much, but silently drank the wine at the bottom of the bowl, and at the end, he got up and called, "Let's go." ”

A group of small servants hurriedly responded, waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse, sending money without changing it to board the carriage.

Soon after leaving the wharf, it is the East Market of Jinling City.

The group found the inn and settled down, booked a few more rooms, and settled down.

Jinling City has a downtown during the day and a restaurant at night.

In addition to the duck dishes, the river fresh aquatic products are diverse, especially the puffer fish stew, which makes everyone amazed.

Tonight, a good night's sleep.
