The boat that Yingning saw was a special pleasure boat here, with a hull of two zhang in length and half a zhang in width, and four people could be made in the cabin, and the decoration was not gorgeous, but it was also neat.

"Boatman, can you take us on a half-day tour of Suzhou City. ”

"Haha, this little boy is joking, this is what the old man does, come on!"

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this, and the plaque on the shore stated the price of ten taels a day and twenty taels a day, so naturally there was no need to ask.

The boat was driven by an old man and a young man, holding a long penny to support him on the left and right, so that the boat could move smoothly towards the middle of the river. The rivers in the city should have been trimmed, all of them are two or three zhang of the river, and there are many small boats like Liu Jian, most of which are tourists who visit the scenery of Suzhou City.

Suzhou Taihu Lake, Hangzhou West Lake, Jinling ten miles Qinhuai, Liu Jian heard these legends for I don't know how many years, today I can finally taste one or two, but it is also the wish of the previous life.

You can see that the streets on the riverside are lined up, pedestrians are like carp, vendors are boating on both sides of the river, and the neat stone riverbank carries some of the vicissitudes of the ancient city. The blending of the river and the bank is completed naturally and inadvertently, and the boat on it will immerse you in this prosperous but not vulgar place, which makes people unconsciously flourish in poetry.

"Forget it," Liu Jian decided to steal less treasures, after all, now that Yuanyuan is here, although she will not debunk Liu Jian's old bottom, it will also make Liu Jian a little blushing.

"Young Master Chun," Ying Ning knelt in the cabin and called softly, skillfully making tea and making tea, the graceful and quiet movements were pleasing to the eye and extraordinary. She knows the tea ceremony, because her father loves tea, and since she was a child, she has made some kung fu tea in front of her, and she will be exposed to it a lot.

I only hated Liu Jian for being a person who didn't understand the amorous feelings, just standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the scenery, but an hour made her suffer a little snub.

"This tea is good, the color is clear, and the aftertaste is endless. Liu Jian has no research on tea, but he knows that if he coaxes a woman to be happy, "Tea is like you, which makes people nostalgic, light and intriguing." ”

Yingning's face was slightly ruddy, obviously moved by his explicit love words, the two were already considered to be more than intimate, and at this time they were a little less shy, but they were sweet in their hearts. "Chun Gongzi always likes to make fun of me, but Yingning doesn't follow it. ”

"Then I'll bully and bully others," Liu Jian laughed and shouted to the old and young at the stern: "Boatman, take me to some places where men can go, and I can enjoy the real scenery of Suzhou." ”

"Okay, there is a painting boat on the Yanliu River, and there is a Qinglou on the bank of the Qingliu River, where is the little boy going?"

"Looking for a painting boat!" Liu Jian laughed, looking at Yingning's face a little unhappy, he sat down beside her and hugged the thin waist that was unbearable.

"Don't be angry, the painting boat is not an ordinary place of smoke and willows, although there are also women who sell their bodies, but most of them are Qing Qi who sell their lives and do not sell their bodies, and they can take their female dependents in to have fun. ”

Yingning's face eased slightly, leaned on his shoulder and hummed softly: "Then I will look at you, and the province will make eye contact with those fireworks women." ”

Liu Jian was speechless for a moment, if the two got married in a few years, what should they do with their own Fengmanlou business?

Yuanyuan, butterfly dance, and Yingning, in this era of three wives and four concubines, it is already a pattern of three missing one. Three women in one play, round and gentle but soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, the butterfly dance is just the opposite, not good at expressing on weekdays but always thinking about it, which is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside.

Yingning is really a beautiful lady and a rich lady, who is knowledgeable and reasonable on weekdays, and is taught by her father to think that her husband is heavenly, and she does not need to mention much about gentleness, but her integrity, rules, and reasonableness are enough to give Liu Jian a headache.

They all say that they are beautiful, but they don't know who has their own thoughts, and they are not playthings for men to play with. Not everyone is submissive, and not every girl can be captured by his gentle trap. Can and Yingning set a lifetime in the past few days, the twists and turns and meaning are indescribable, but at this time it seems to be a fateful fate.

Liu Jian sniffed the faint fragrance coming from her body, put his chin against the head of the jade man in his arms, and said the next sentence in a low but firm voice:

"If you don't leave, I won't give up. ”

After walking around Suzhou City for a long time, he heard some laughter outside, Liu Jianxin said that when he arrived at the place, he pulled Yingning out of the canopy.

The river was suddenly wider, five or six feet wide. There are fewer houses on both sides of the river, and two rows of weeping willows are faintly hazy in the smoke. A few large boats listened on the south side, and on the north side was a situation river that had been set aside. These large ships are three or five zhang wide and fifteen or sixteen zhang long, and the buildings are often two or three stories high, and laughter comes from the boats.

"These are all boats coming from the Qinhuai River," the old man who drove the boat explained with a smile, "Because Jinling City has a curfew at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, I can only move my business here." Little boy, you have come to the right place, this is a boss you can't see on weekdays. ”

Liu Jian nodded, a little clear, compared to the Qinglou, although these 'green boats' are smaller in scale, they have another taste. On weekdays, he wanders on the river, picks up and drops off guests, and earns a lot of silver taels.

The literati or rich sons of Suzhou City, but they are not idle in the afternoon, boating around these big boats, and meeting on the boat to find those women who are worried about their hearts.

"Uncle, I'm tired of waiting here. Liu Jian took a few ingots of silver and put them in the old man's hand, and the old man immediately agreed with a smile on his face.

"Little boy, these big ships are all famous, and the old man knows a thing or two when he sees a lot. ”

"Oh, what's the name?"

The old man drove the boat to one place, but explained to Liu Jian with a smile. "This kind of big boat is on the Qinhuai River on weekdays, and there are countless guests who pick up and drop off, and the girls on the boat are all beautiful like fairies, of course, they can't compare to this young lady's posture of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of the moon and the shy flowers. ”

This old man is also an old accident, Jiang Ying's face is shy, and he said: "These girls have high spirits, and many of them are as guarded as jade, if the little boy can write some poems, it will naturally have some benefits." ”

"The poems can't stop him," Ying Ning whispered, "I can't say that I can bring back a boatload of girls back to Yuecheng." ”

"Then I won't do poetry today, but I will go up and see and learn. Liu Jian took her hand and said, trying to reassure her, and then warned herself not to have the mistakes of the previous day, snubbing her and making her angry for one night, and shedding tears for a day.

Liu Jian looked up at the painting boat that the old man had specially leaned over, and smiled and waited for the old man's explanation.

The old man accepted him two silver taels, and at this time he reciprocated the peach, so naturally he would not be bored with his interest. "Little boy doesn't know, on the Qinhuai River, there are two kinds of painting boats, one is the place to sell laughter and sell oneself, called the flower boat, a hundred flowers bloom, and the guests are looking for a night of joy. ”

"What else do you say?" Liu Jian looked up at what should be the largest painting boat, except for a few girls in plain skirts standing on the bow of the boat and laughing, there was no other figure of the warbler Yanyan on the boat.

The old man parked the boat next to this painting boat, and there were three or five stairs on the side of the painting boat, so that the guests could go up for convenience. The old man continued:

"One is the original painting boat, which can take the female dependents up, and this one is the only one of the five big ships. The women here are all talented women who sell their art but not their bodies, and the sons of each family are looking forward to bringing back one or two concubines. If not, we can just turn around. ”

Liu Jian sneered twice: "Since it is a place of high and elegant nature, how can it be measured by silver taels?"

There was a light snort from the boat, and then there was some arrogant contempt in his words, which made Liu Jian couldn't help frowning, and Ying Ning was also a little cold.

If you can't even earn enough silver, then no matter how rich your talent and poetry are, you are just a poor and down-and-out scholar. ”

This is actually reasonable, but Liu Jian doesn't like the attitude and tone of this girl's speech, in the final analysis, it's just some prostitution, who gives her the confidence to look down on others?

"Since the girl above has such thoughts, then we can only say goodbye. It is necessary to know that ambition is not in old age, talent is not necessarily rich, the world is big, people with ambition and talent can be seen everywhere, not everyone loves the smell of copper!"

Liu Jianyan turned around and wanted to leave, but Ying Ning grabbed him, and instead persuaded:

"Don't you always want to come here and see? ”

The girl on the big boat snorted coldly, walked to the side of the boat and showed her face, but she was also born as beautiful as a flower and graceful in shape, although it was not as good as Yingning, but it was not far behind.

It's no wonder that the little beauty is a little arrogant, obviously she is used to being pampered on weekdays, and she has forgotten her original identity.

"You!"

The words 'inferior' stung the little beauty's face, but seeing the fairy face of the girl who spoke, and the skin deceiving the frost and snow, the glittering brilliance made the little beauty ashamed of herself, and she didn't know where to start if she wanted to scold.

Liu Jian shook his head, stepped on the steps of the boat, and was about to turn around to support Yingning, but heard a voice from above his head.

"Childe is contemptuous, we have our own rules here, if you can't answer the poem, you can't enter. ”

Say. Liu Jian snorted coldly, helped Yingning to his side, and climbed up slowly.

The two girls turned around and blocked in front of Liu Jian, but they didn't let him step on the painting boat for half a step. Listen to the little beauty who humiliated herself: "Today's question is a sentence 'Jiangtian is a color without dust', where did this sentence come from, and who made it?"

Liu Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, only he and Yuanyuan knew where this poem came from, but here, this is "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" from his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the little beauty couldn't help sneering again and again, "This is my young lady's favorite poet, you people who think you are romantic, you can't reach one ten-thousandth of him at all." There are also empty talk about people with lofty ideals, talented people, cuts, people who deceive the world and steal fame, and people who are local chickens and dogs. ”

"How do you speak! This song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" is still ......"

Liu Jian pulled Yingning's little hand, and the latter could only sit down halfway through his words, and the little beauty sneered, "Since you have answered, come in with me, my young lady is meeting guests, you can come in together." Come on. ”

The two girls who blocked the way retreated, while Liu Jian's face became cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he pulled Yingning and stepped on this painting boat that was said to only sell his art but not his body.
