372. The Scales of the Heart [two]
In the evening, you will be entertained with fine wine and delicious food.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while in the flower hall. It wasn't until Dong Shuyu yawned that everyone dispersed and went back to their respective rooms.
Zhu Xiuyuan's room, after Qiu Wen had tidied it up, was already clean and bright, with furnishings and furniture in order. In addition, Qiu Wen was here to serve him again, and everything seemed to have returned to Dong's Mansion in Jiangzhou...
In the end, Dong Shuyu did not go to the yard next door to rest, but slept with her sister.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they started planning their trip out of the house.
Dong Shuyu will leave tomorrow, so today, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen are in high spirits, as if they want to compress all their travels in the next few months, or even years, into this one day.
In the morning, they went out of the city and visited the surrounding scenery of the capital.
In the afternoon, I returned to the city and visited all the sights in the city.
In the evening, they rented a boat and hired several boatmen to paddle ten miles across the Qinhuai River...
This is the last stop of today's tour.
The scenery of Qinhuai at night is naturally particularly pleasant.
I saw the lights on the shore, the boats on the river, the boats on the river, the crowds on the shore, the hustle and bustle, and the fireworks everywhere, creating a scene of peace and prosperity.
Zhu Xiuyuan rented a large cruise ship with a three-story building and a wide deck. There were strings of lanterns on the ship, swaying with the rocking of the ship and the blowing of the wind...
A small table has been set up on the side of the ship, with all kinds of delicacies, fine wines, seasonal fruits, dried fruits, tea, etc.
Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, and Dong Shuyu sat around the table, chatting, satisfying their appetites, and admiring the beautiful scenery in the river or on the river bank.
"Ten Li Qinhuai is indeed the best night scene in the world, it's really good!"
Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the surface of the Qinhuai River. It was sparkling and the reflections of the boats in the river were broken into pieces. It was as if the surface of the river would shine on its own. It was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
"Great rivers and mountains, a world of flowers. Unfortunately, the Yan army invaded the border some time ago and almost destroyed this great river and mountains!"
Dong Shuyu was sitting on the chair, holding a tea cup in his hand, raising his orchid fingers, and said these words.
"Sister, you are worrying too much. As long as your husband is here, even if millions of Yan troops invade the border, it will not be destroyed. Hahaha, husband, don't you think so..."
Dong Shuzhen was very happy and laughing all day long. If Zhu Xiuyuan hadn't ordered Xia Wu and Qiu Wen to pull her, she would have jumped from one ship to another to "say hello" to other ships...
"Haha, my lady is right!"
Zhu Xiuyuan drank a few glasses of wine and was a little tipsy. After listening to Dong Shuzhen's "crazy words", he was so arrogant that he was so arrogant.
"Xiuyuan, you drank too much."
Dong Shuyu reminded her, thinking that Xiuyuan and Zhen'er were really a couple.
"It's just a few drinks. I'm not drunk. I'm rarely in a good mood today. Come on, come on, Shuyu, I'll toast you..."
Zhu Xiuyuan picked up the jug, poured a cup for Dong Shuyu, and then filled his own cup.
"Husband, I want it too, I want it too!"
Dong Shuzhen also brought the cup over.
"Okay, I'm happy today, let's drink together!"
After pouring three glasses, he put down the flask, raised the glass, and said with a smile: "Madam, Shuyu, let's have a drink. I had a great time today!"
"Okay, but Xiuyuan, Zhen'er, after drinking this cup, you can't drink anymore." Dong Shuyu also raised his glass.
"good!"
"good!"
"cheers!"
After drinking, Dong Shuyu suddenly said: "Xiuyuan's poetic talent is unparalleled, and the few poems he has written are all handed down from generation to generation... Today I traveled to various places in Beijing and took a dip along the Qinhuai River. I wonder if Xiuyuan has a poetry boom.
?”
"Yes, husband, hurry up and write a poem to teach the people on the Qinhuai River that my husband is the most powerful!" Dong Shuzhen also came to make noises.
As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan heard about poetry writing, his mouth dropped.
However, seeing Dong Shuyu and his wife looking forward to it, he didn't want to spoil their fun.
Why!
Then just “do” it.
Anyway, he copied too much and was not itchy...
"Brother Zhu?!"
But at this moment, a surprising voice suddenly came to mind, coming from behind.
Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly looked back, but it turned out to be Liu Wencai, standing on a cruise ship. Behind him were a lot of people in Confucian shirts and hats. They all seemed to be literati or scholars.
"Brother Zhu, it's really you!"
As the two ships approached, Liu Wencai was very excited and seemed to want to step across the ship, but the side of the ship was too high for him to cross.
"Brother Liu, haha, what a coincidence, Brother Liu is also here to play?"
"exactly……"
Liu Wencai turned around and introduced loudly to the literati and scholars behind him: "Everyone, this is what I mentioned to you, the creator of the eternal masterpiece "Pipa Xing", Jiangzhou Sima... No, he is now the uncle of Jiangcheng!
"
"It turns out to be uncle, I'm glad to meet you..."
A group of literati and elegant people all bent down and held their hands.
"My uncle's poetic talent is really unparalleled. The student has already written the song "Pipa Xing" and hung it on the bedside..."
"My uncle not only wrote "Pipa Xing", but also "Shang Xiang Si", "Qing Ping Tiao", etc., all of which are famous works handed down from generation to generation..."
…
Faced with compliments from everyone, Zhu Xiuyuan naturally remained humble.
"Haha... burp... Uncle... he is indeed... burp... a romantic and talented man. In Jiangzhou... burp... I met a... half-old lady... burp... the wife of a businessman...
"
"You can write... hiccup... the famous piece "Pipa Xing"! Now... now uncle... hiccup... the two singers on the boat... haha... hiccup... I wonder if uncle...
There are already masterpieces..."
This man was drunk, well-dressed, and swaying, but what he said made Zhu Xiuyuan frown.
Diva?
Where did the singer come from?
The singers this person is talking about should refer to Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu!
A burst of fire came out of his spine and went straight to his forehead. In his long sleeves, Zhu Xiuyuan had already clenched his fists.
The literati did not know that these words had touched Zhu Xiuyuan's objections, and they thought it was an elegant thing, so they started making noises...
As a result, not only Zhu Xiuyuan was furious, but even the drunk Liu Wencai was so shocked that he woke up from the alcohol.
What a diva!
That's Brother Zhu's wife, that's Brother Zhu's sister-in-law, where did the singer come from? Isn't this insulting...
on board.
Dong Shuyu frowned slightly, put down the tea cup, put her hands on her knees, lowered her head and said nothing.
Dong Shuzhen, on the other hand, rolled her big eyes, not yet understanding the situation.
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
Liu Wencai, who was so frightened that he was mostly awake from alcohol, exploded in anger, and slapped his hand with his backhand. With a loud "pop" sound, he slapped the drunken and hiccuping man away.
Everyone was stunned and their eyes widened.
What situation is this?
"Little prince, little prince, if you have something to say, if you have something to say..."
Chapter completed!
