Chapter 169 Goodbye to Xi Guiren in Yangzhou!
Smelling the smell of meat in other people's cabins, they were not even interested in watching the scenery. Song Yi and Zhan Peng have not enjoyed a decent meal for a long time. The most fish on the ship is fish, but I have eaten fish for many days in a row. Even if I change the method, I'm tired of it. And because I didn't think that the ships along the way would not rest on the shore before getting on the boat, I didn't prepare meat at all...
Song Yi and Zhan Peng returned to their cabin annoidly. In the next two days, there was no longer any interest in going out of the boat to see the scenery. Fortunately, the boat finally stopped at the dock in Huainan. Song Yi and Zhan Peng were already like hungry wolves who had been hungry for a long time. After getting off the boat, they rushed into the city and ordered a table of rich meat dishes, and then bought them from the carriage and horse line that day. A carriage continues to go south!
It's already December, and the south may not be so warm. Although the temperature is slightly warm all the way down from the north, the clothes on the two people have not decreased. The carriage was very fast, and soon after, it caught up with a caravan on the official road! Seeing that the people in the caravan were mixed with chaos, Zhan Peng couldn't help slowing down suspiciously, and then turned around and raised the curtain to Song Yi and said, "It's strange that this caravan seemed to be the people in the same boat as us. Unexpectedly, they also went down to the south of the Yangtze River?"
Song Yi looked at it and saw that this team was actually a mixed group of men and women. It was not like a caravan, but more like a family migration.
"I don't know what kind of business they do. They are still running around this season. Is it possible that they sell furs like the caravan of the Zhou family?" Song Yi muttered suspiciously.
"Looking at the tightly sealed boxes on their cars and the traces of rut on the road, it seems that the goods are not light..." Zhan Peng said hesitantly.
"Regardless of them, let's hurry up. At this time, we will get to the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't know what's going on with Qingyan!" Song Yi frowned, and then put down the curtain and no longer took care of the caravan in front of him. He just wanted to go to Jiangnan.
It was bumpy all the way. A carriage finally entered Jiangnan Road, and the strange caravan was left behind the two people far away.
No matter how history changes or the country rotates, what remains unchanged is the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, but in fact, looking at the historical dynasties, those who win the south of the Yangtze River should win the world! Not many princes can be kings for a long time in areas outside the south of the Yangtze River. Only those who occupy the south of the Yangtze River are qualified to be truly emperor...
Bianzhou is indeed prosperous, but compared with Yangzhou, it lacks some elegant heritage. Yangzhou has a generation of talents. Since ancient times, Jiangnan scholars should be regarded as the most influential group in all dynasties.
Yangzhou in winter is like a thin beauty wrapped in fox coat, amorous and pitiful.
Yanliu Lane, in front of an inconspicuous big house, a carriage that had experienced dust stopped. Zhan Peng, with one arm, took the lead in getting off the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, and Song Yi also jumped out of the carriage with an excited look.
"Xu Fu... Ha ha, that's it. It's finally here. Song Yi smiled, and then stepped on the first-level threshold and grabbed the copper ring on the door and knocked on the door...
A moment later, a girl dressed as a beautiful little maid opened the door, and then asked doubtfully, "Do you dare to ask who this young man is looking for?"
Song Yi saw that the little maid's whole body was wrapped in a thick coat, and only a slightly tender face was exposed. He asked with a smile, "Xi... Your owner can go to the house. Please let me know... I'm coming to visit Song Yi..."
"Oh, wait!" A suspicious and alert look flashed in the maid's eyes, and then closed the door mercilessly and continued to close Song Yi outside the door.
Song Yi and Zhan Peng outside the door looked at each other and smiled helplessly, and the tired horse pulling the carriage not far away also seemed to make a protest with a slight dissatisfaction.
After a moment, I could hear the rapid footsteps behind the door, and then the door suddenly opened. A charming woman who was as bright as a flower stood in front of the door with a white fox fur shoulder on her shoulder. She was surrounded by several servants.
"You're finally here..." There was an undisguised excited smile on Xi Guiren's face.
Song Yi smiled and did not find Qingyan and Fuyao in the crowd. After arching his hand slightly to Xi Guiren, he asked suspiciously, "Did Qingyan come to you? I thought she would be there!"
"Come and sit down first. I'll talk to you slowly... Lai Fu, go get off the carriage, then take good care of the horse, and let the kitchen get some good dishes by the way. Today's banquet at the house. Xi Guiren smiled sweetly, and then his red lips gently opened his words and twisted his back waist. He turned around and walked towards the house gracefully. Song Yi and Zhan Peng had to follow up in a hurry.
After entering the mansion, Xi Guiren's wealth is really amazing. Although this mansion is much smaller than Luoyang's noble mansion, it is obvious that the courtyard style decoration is more exquisite and rich. It is a typical style of Jiangnan gardens, elegant and rich.
Song Yi carefully observed this room, which is obviously Xufu's guest room, sandalwood tables and chairs, bronze stoves decorated with gold patterns, coral ornaments, precious screens... It shows the financial resources and elegant atmosphere of the owner of Xufu.
"Isn't it good?" The temperature in the room is warm. Xi Guiren has already removed the thick coat, and the thin shirt is attached to the plump and graceful body, sketching the curve. Xi Guiren gently raised his white hand and filled Song Yi's wine bottle, looking at a pair of watery eyes and asking.
"It's really good. It seems that you are living a good life. You look more and more charming..." Song Yi said with a smile.
Xi Guiren put down the wine pot and smiled charmingly, "It's a little slippery, but it seems that the trip to the capital is still smooth, otherwise you can't have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River so soon..."
"It's okay. After all, the capital is not a place where everyone can stay for a long time. I still like Jiangnan, so I rushed back without delay along the way. Tell me where Qingyan and they live now?" Song Yi asked.
"Hehe... It hasn't been a long time since I saw you. Are you worried? It's like a green tobacco girl's infatuation..." Xi Guiren picked up the wine bottle with a sad smile, and Song Yi had to drink with her.
Xi Guiren's cheeks quickly climbed on two delicate crimson colors, and then he said, "The green tobacco girl and the really powerful Fuyao girl lived here and bought an elegant courtyard in the city not long ago. During this period, I was busy cleaning up there and simply moved there. I sent some people there. Help, I guess I'm still busy with the family these days... Take a break after dinner, and I'll go with you to recognize your own door!"
