Chapter 9 Flower Boats
Jiang Ning looked at her with a blank look, although it was still only afternoon, but he could also hear the sound of the gradual increase outside the hospital, people had already begun to go to the streets, and the cries of street vendors came out from time to time, if the crescent moon does not need to decoction, naturally there is no need to be at home, at this time it is time to go out for a walk.
"Okay, it's okay to be idle anyway, I'll tell you a story about the West Chamber today." Jiang Ning smiled, it can be regarded as compensation for the crescent moon.
The crescent moon's eyes lit up and clapped her hands: "Uncle, wait a minute......"
After speaking, he hurriedly ran downstairs, and after a while, he only heard the sound of going upstairs, but saw the crescent moon holding two porcelain boxes in both hands, one with dried fruits and the other with tangerins, and happily ran to the table, waiting for Jiang Ning to start.
Jiang Ning smiled, feeling that the crescent moon was really a little cute at this moment.
The sky gradually darkened, the sunset gradually dyed half of the sky, the new moon also gradually appeared in the sky, extraordinarily bright, the long street on both sides of the Yudai River gradually became lively, the vendors have already occupied the most advantageous stalls on both sides of the river, began a night of trading, the sound of selling one after another, the taste of all kinds of food along the river bank, floating without scruples on both sides of the Yudai River, just the smell, all make people feel salivating.
"Miss, Miss, do you want to bring some of these things back to your uncle?" Xing'er looked at the colorful Yudai River and the crowded streets on both sides, and pointed to the crab roe buns beside her.
Wang Ruoyan smiled: "It's you, Xianggong is sick, where can I eat these things with you?" Let's bring some to the crescent moon, then the girl may not know how sad she will be now. ”
Apricot nodded and went happily.
Being able to bring so many vendors together, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve and Dragon Boat Festival, is almost none, Xing'er is busy with business with Wang Ruoyan every day, this kind of event is rarely participated, and today it is empty, so it is here.
Some of the various lanterns are placed at the door of the store to attract customers, some are held in the hands of children, and some are placed in the river, and the whole Hangzhou seems to be decorated with lanterns, which is very eye-catching.
Wang Ruoyan also ate a few hot duck blood soup, fragrant xiaolongbao, rich Ruyi Hui dried meat, and all kinds of pastry dumplings, but he was not as elated as Xing'er.
"Miss, Miss, the flower boat has opened, the flower boat has opened...... Xing'er pointed to the flower boat slowly pulling out from the shore, and said happily: "I don't know if there are those talented people who write famous articles tonight and stir up the Jiangnan literary world." ”
"Hehe, are the two flower boats of Yanbin Building and Donglin Society the largest this year?" Wang Ruoyan looked at the slowly moving flower boat road. The two flower boats, one with three floors, and the other with four floors high, are like two small moving buildings.
In this era, the shipbuilding technology has been extremely developed, and the largest ship is 400 zhang long, which can transport grain for 10,000 deniers at a time.
Yanbin Lou and Peach Blossom Spring, Qingxiu Fang, Red Sleeves are the same, is the land of fireworks, these four places are the four famous buildings in Hangzhou, but Yanbin Lou has won the Oiran for two years, sitting on the top spot, Oiran Su Yuner is even more, just a dance, let Hangzhou rich businessmen spend a lot of money, countless talents praised, if whose words can make her sing two sentences, it will be popular in Hangzhou for a while, then the fame of the person who wrote this poem, naturally also improved a lot.
Those rich businessmen are even more for the sake of being famous, vassal and elegant, buying words for those who buy words, and throwing money at money, just to get people in their hands and have full face.
If it is said that Hangzhou and even the southern Zhejiang Mansion of Yanbin Building, then if Donglin Society is the second in the literary world, no one can be called the first.
Donglin Society is one of the four major academies of the Great Xia Dynasty Donglin Academy students formed, at first just to exchange poetry, discuss academics, with the Great Xia Dynasty and the Turkic and Yuan Dynasty relations tension, friction continued, but also gradually began to exchange national events, and even some people and the prefect wrote letters, into the policy, sometimes the stone sink into the sea, sometimes also feel the change of policy.
In this way, it has stimulated the heart of these Donglin Society students to enter the WTO, and Donglin Academy has represented the highest learning in southern Zhejiang and even nearby provinces, those students are naturally arrogant and superior, and the world's scholars are also proud to be able to enter the four major academies to study.
Donglin Society is so bold, naturally will not let go of the Mid-Autumn Festival such a good opportunity, so he also bought a flower boat, in addition to the Oiran other women to travel to the West Lake, on the boat happened some talented and beautiful things, but also can achieve a good reputation, and those women, although in the Qinglou, but also have a great difference, can come to the flower boat on the nature is not those general, are not selling their bodies, clean themselves to win, otherwise those rich businessmen will not spend a lot of money.
Xing'er raised her eyebrows, looked at it on tiptoe, and nodded: "It should be, Miss, let's go up too, there are still a lot of boats behind." ”
If you don't swim in the lake during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be a waste of this beautiful scenery.
Wang Ruoyan is naturally going to go, the ship is full of businessmen of all sizes, many of them also have business dealings with the Wang family's big house, go up to say hello, if you can, say a few words about business, it is also good.
Xing'er couldn't wait to pull Wang Ruoyan towards the river.
"Uncle, are you sleepy?" Under the oil lamp, the crescent moon looked at Jiang Ning a little sleepy, and it should be because of the medicinal effect, after all, Jiang Ning is still a patient.
Jiang Ning smiled: "I'm a little sleepy, it's still early, let's go now, maybe I can catch up with them." ”
"I still won't go, if something happens to my uncle, I will have something to take care of." Crescent thought for a moment, frowned and shook her head.
Jiang Ning smiled, stretched out his hand and patted it lightly on the crescent moon's head: "What can I do." ”
The crescent moon squeezed her eyes and shrunk her neck, but her face was slightly red, and she hurriedly stuck out her tongue: "The crescent moon is wrong, my uncle will be fine tomorrow, hehe...... That...... That uncle is also a scholar......"
"Huh?" Jiang Ning was stunned, and immediately understood the crescent moon's thoughts.
The crescent moon is only sixteen years old now, even Wang Ruoyan is only eighteen years old, and it is not difficult to see from their obsession with the Dream of Red Mansions that several people like talents, which is also the atmosphere of this society.
The crescent moon always talks about how the young lady thinks about her uncle, arranging this arrangement and that, and she must have said good things about him by Wang Ruoyan's side, and the most important thing for a scholar is to learn, to be a poet, to be an article, and to have the world in mind. Jiang Ning has the reputation of a scholar, and since he became a scholar, he has never written a poem, let alone any article, and he must have not written it before.
"What's wrong with the reader? Scholars are also human beings. Jiang Ning quipped.
The crescent moon frowned slightly, but responded in a twisted voice: "Uncle, if my uncle can also write a poem to Miss, I may bring it to Miss, Miss will definitely like it, Miss also specially told me before leaving, not to disturb Uncle." ”
Jiang Ning was stunned: "Yan'er also likes poetry?" ”
Crescent Moon nodded and shook her head: "It's not ......."
