Chapter 31: The Land of Fireworks, Nothing to Do with Wind and Moon

(If you don't pay attention, there are 122 moon cakes, and the Southern Dynasties can change to sell moon cakes, hehe, thank you for your strong support.) It's crucial to rush to the list in the early morning, and please continue to help me!)

Today, Chen Sanlang wandered around Nanyang Mansion again and returned empty-handed. There are no connections, no fame, and it is really difficult to make a living.

There is not much left of the five taels of silver, deducting the expenses of accommodation and food, and even the cost of taking the boat back is a bit stretched. Counting the pitiful copper coins in his pocket, he suddenly gave birth to the sigh of "a hero who can't die for a penny".

He decided to try his luck tomorrow in the east of the city.

In the east of Nanyang Mansion, there are tributaries of the Jingjiang River passing through, and the weeping willows on both sides of the bank form a resort, and there is a famous hall, called "Little Qinhuai". In terms of popularity, it is much higher than the Yingfeng Beach at the South Gate.

Little Qinhuai is the land of fireworks, there are more than a dozen large and small painting boats, lit up every evening to open, along the coast a row of mooring, just waiting for guests to get on the boat.

This kind of scale, compared with Yangzhou ten miles of Qinhuai, is naturally difficult to achieve, but compared with other prefectures under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, it is a big win. In the neighboring prefectures, there are often literati and visitors who come to taste the taste.

During the day, Xiao Qinhuai was sparsely populated and did not move, but at dusk, the whole place seemed to have just woken up and immediately became vibrant.

On the shore of the water, one after another painted boats put up lanterns and played with pipes, silk and bamboo, and on the shore, all kinds of peddlers began to set up stalls, with food, clothing, and utensils.

The whole scene is a little more lively than in Nanyang Mansion. After all, Nanyang Mansion City has a curfew every time it arrives, and in Xiaoqinhuai, this is the most lively and prosperous time.

The next day, Chen Sanlang, who was asleep, first copied and wrote in the room, and then read for a while, and saw that the hour was almost up, so he changed his clothes, picked up the book and walked outside the east of the city.

The distance is not short, and those who are tired will hire a sedan chair to go, which is much more comfortable.

Chen Saburo walked, on the one hand, to save money, and on the other hand, to exercise. He followed Xu Nianniang to learn martial arts, Xu Nianniang looked at him at a glance, and said "weak physique, thin blood", beginners should not swing their fists and feet, they can only step first.

This is a very pertinent word, if you come up and "ho ho ho" to move your fists and feet, you are afraid that you will practice martial arts and cultivate yourself, but it will become a practice of martial arts and hurt your body, and you will die faster.

It can be seen from this that Xu Nianniang is by no means what the market rumors say, just a decadent drunkard who opens a martial arts gym to cheat money, and is likely to be a master of the rivers and lakes.

His daughter Xu Jun is a master, not to mention being a father, but it is unknown how tall he is.

Xu Nianniang also said: In addition to Zama walking, proper walking is also quite beneficial.

Chen Sanlang walked leisurely, of course, he was not the only one on the road, three or three, two by two, and most of the scholars. Some of these faces seem to be familiar, although they can't be named or know people, but there is no doubt that they should be candidates who took the college exam together. Seeing each other, arching their hands, even if they have seen the courtesy, there is no embarrassment at all.

In this world, it is common for scholars to visit the land of fireworks, and there are many talented people who pretend to be **, lingering on the green and upstairs, playing rouge all day long, and after it is passed out, it is not infamy, but a good story. "Ten years of Yangzhou dream, win the best Bo Xing name", it is more appropriate to say that it is self-reflection and regret, but it is more appropriate to say complacent.

It was dusk, and a round of sunset was setting in the west, and it was extraordinarily red. When Chen Sanlang saw it, he felt a bewitching meaning.

The sunset gradually set behind the green hills, and the red glow slowly dimmed, and I saw the twilight slowly sweeping up. The sun sets and the moon rises, and a hazy crescent moon shadow flashes in the sky.

The evening breeze is gentle, blowing on the face, which is quite refreshing.

When Chen Sanlang felt a little tired, he turned a corner of the road, and there was a lot of noise in front of him, and the lights were staggered, and a lively scene came to his face.

This is Xiao Qinhuai.

Looking at it from afar, it is as if you are seeing another world, and it feels amazing.

"It's here, it's finally here. ”

"Let's hurry up, lest we be late and we won't be able to rent a boat, and then we will go in vain." ”

The faces of the scholars around him were full of excitement, and their eyes were about to shine, and they just wanted to rush to the boat at once.

To get on the boat means to pounce into the pile of fat powder, so you don't enjoy it.

According to experienced people, as well as the accepted opinion, Xiao Qinhuai's girl, whether in appearance, talent, or skill, is higher than that in Nanyang Mansion City.

"This brother is invited. ”

Suddenly, a scholar came over and said to Chen Sanlang.

Chen Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "What do you have to teach Brother Tai?"

The scholar was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a short beard, and said with a smile: "Wei Feng, an examinee in Xiarong County, didn't ask for advice?"

"Chen Daoyuan of Jing County. ”

"Oh, long and long. ”

Hearing this, Chen Sanlang almost stepped on his left foot and fell to the ground: This guy is too funny, let's just meet for the first time, why do you look up to it for a long time?

Fortunately, after the greetings, Wei Feng got to the point: "Brother Daoyuan, it's like this, I see that you are alone, and you want to come without a companion." I wonder if you're interested in pooling some money, let's get on the boat together?"

The "we" he said, along with four or five other people, all stood on the side, waiting for Chen Sanlang to reply.

Chen Sanlang asked: "What kind of money?"

Wei Feng had a smile even more on his face, and he knew at a glance that Chen Sanlang was not familiar with the situation for the first time when he came to Xiao Qinhuai, so he opened his mouth to explain:

It turned out that there were more than a dozen ships on Xiao Qinhuai, some big and some small, some gorgeous and some ordinary, and the corresponding price was high and low. The consumption of high-grade painting boats, which is as high as several floors, and the idle people can't go up at all. Even if it is a medium ship, it will cost a lot of money. Eat a plate of peanuts, or drink a cup, and hundreds of dollars will be gone.

These are just appetizers.

If you want to listen to music and find a girl to accompany you, you have to come up with more money. If you fancy a certain girl, you have in-depth communication at night, blow the, sing ** flowers, etc., there is nothing to say, continue to pay for it. Coming to such a place, any interaction is based on money, talking about feelings? That is the expression of young people's ignorance.

Of course, there are also some low-priced awning boats, which haunt like ghosts. However, most of the women on the ship were mediocre, rough-handed, and even very old. The ship's facilities were rudimentary, and there was no sound of bamboo, so she lit a dim oil lamp, and when the price was settled, the woman lay down in the cabin, her legs spread, and did not even make the basic calls, which was boring and tasteless.

In the words of a reader: "I don't understand the amorous feelings." ”

Therefore, scholars still prefer higher-grade ships, but the consumption is high, and some people can't afford to spend it? A few people, or even a dozen people, each took out money, chartered a similar ship, listened to music, drank some wine, and talked loudly, even if it couldn't really be ** in the end, a few degrees of spring breeze, it was also a kind of enjoyment.

After hearing this, Chen Sanlang suddenly realized, and couldn't cry or laugh: "Thank you Brother Wei for your kindness, in fact, I came down here and didn't plan to get on the boat." ”

When Wei Feng heard this, he obviously didn't believe it, and so did the others: If you don't get on the boat when you come to Xiao Qinhuai, what will you get on?

After thinking about it, Wei Feng thought of something, and decided in his heart that Chen Sanlang was definitely going to get on the canopy boat, but he was afraid of people's jokes, so he didn't dare to say it, so he smiled and said: "Understand, since this is the case, don't pass it over." ”

A group of people walked away.

Chen Sanlang touched his chin and wanted to ask: What do you understand......?

He came to Xiao Qinhuai, he had nothing to do with Fengyue, he was shy in his pocket, how could he get up? He came here just because he heard that business was booming on the shore, and no one had collected management fees, so he could set up a stall at will, so he wanted to sell words here, and that's it.

There are actually a lot of scholars who sell words in Xiao Qinhuai, and there are quite a lot of business opportunities. There were many rich squires who came and went, and when they saw which one was good, they might buy it, whether it was a girl on the ship, or a vassal elegance to take home.

There are even some down-and-out literati who can't get their fame on the shore, and from time to time they get drunk and sing wildly, pretending to be amazing, but they hope that this unruly expression can be favored by those ladies who are ** dusty but have a sad spring and sad autumn tone in their bones, and take them to the boat.

Then, a bowl of fragrant soft rice is equivalent to holding it in the palm of your hand.

Life is everywhere.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Sanlang. He walked around first, roughly figured out the situation, and then picked a good place to open a stall.

The ten characters that had been written in advance and simply framed were taken out of the book one by one, and a piece of oilcloth was laid on the ground, and then the calligraphy was put on the table, and the Saburo character booth was opened "magnificently".
