Chapter 831 Patriotism regardless of occupation

By the Qinhuai River, the Yunxiao Pavilion is as lively as ever. Although the dark clouds of the war enveloped the city of Nanjing, the people let go of their hands and suddenly thought about it. I usually save money and live a frugal life, and I live aggrieved and carefully. Now the rebel army and the imperial army are about to fight in Nanjing. In the chaos, it is unknown whether I can survive this disaster. What should I do with money?

As a result, the brothlls on the banks of the Qinhuai River were full one after another. Yunxiao Pavilion was famous for Qinhuai because of the last time, and it was also very popular. Naturally, it was squeezed through the threshold and smashed the stone steps. The sisters worked overtime to serve the guests, and their busy trousers could not be picked up.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the hall downstairs, the room of Shen Yunyan, the leader of Yunxiao Pavilion, has been as quiet as ever. Since Song Nan left, the leader of Yunxiao Pavilion has rarely received guests. The nobles of the prince in Nanjing City secretly found the price offered by Liu's mother one by one, one is higher and one by one exaggerated, but Liu Mom never dared to ask Shen Yunyan to accompany guests for this money.

Shen Yunyan herself felt that as the leader of Yunxiao Pavilion, she wanted to make some contributions to the Yunxiao Pavilion, and occasionally sang music for several lucky people and accompanied them for a banquet. This is already a great face, but if there are other indivisable thoughts, it is absolutely impossible. Some people also did not give up to be an interview, but Shen Yunyan brushed his sleeves away and was complained by others.

As a result, Shen Yunyan got an alias of 'gold-inlaid jade'. This alias is not praise, but a repeatedly rejected complaint from a huge rich man in Nanjing, to the general idea: "This Shen Yunyan must be made of gold-inlaid jade, so gold and arrogant." After a while, it spread, and the princes replaced Shen Yunyan with gold and jade behind their backs. These people vaguely knew that Yunxiao Pavilion had changed its owner now. It was reported that it was a big man in the capital, and they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Shen Yunyan sat in front of the dressing table and was stunned, and the noise outside did not go into her ears at all. Since Song Nan left Nanjing, many times she has been sitting in the room like this, holding her pink cheeks and looking at the words mounted on the wall.

That was the broken chapter of Song Nan's handwriting to help Shen Yunyan that day. Now it is exquisitely framed by a famous craftsman in Nanjing and hung upright above the dresser.

"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you under the bridge..." Shen Yunyan remembered Song Nan's speech and careless look, and the corners of her mouth bent, showing a light smile.

With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and the maid's small stool rushed in with a spring breeze. Shen Yunyan hurriedly got up and asked, "How's it going? Can you hear the news?"

The small stool grabbed the teapot and took a few sips, stretched out its sleeves to wipe away the water stains on its mouth, relieved and said, "Oh, my dear, I'm exhausted."

Shen Yunyan quickly handed over the handkerchief and looked at her attentively and said, "Is there any news? I'm so anxious."

The small stool laughed and said, "The old lover is coming, and the girl can't sit still."

Shen Yunyan raised her hand to fight, and the little stool quickly raised her hand and shrank her head and said, "I surrendered, and the little maid said so. The streets and alleys are talking about the news that the Duke of Zhen led a large army.

"The Duke of Zhen?" Shen Yunyan frowned.

"Oh, it's Song Nan. He used to be a marquis, but now he is the Duke of the country. Didn't you hear about the last time he led troops to fight the Taran to recover the river? That's the duke who was promoted at that time."

Shen Yunyan said, as if thinking about it.

The small stool said, "Why, isn't the girl happy for him?"

Shen Yunyan smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy for him." But he thought to himself, "He is the Duke, his power status is higher, and he is far away from me."

"Well, Duke Zhen, his army is stationed in Jiangpu and is now conscripting ships all over the world. It is said that he is going to fight against the rebellious King Ning on the river, but there are not enough soldiers and ships, so he collected civil ships."

"Oh, so that's it." Shen Yunyan bit her lip and nodded, suddenly said, "Is he in Nanjing?"

"This little maidservant doesn't know how I dare to inquire about the residence of the Duke of the country, but Ergouzi on the front street said that he saw Song Nan sitting at the mouth of the mouth of the Qinhuai River with his own eyes. Every time a private ship arrived, he had to thank the owner and give him back the money. I've been there in the afternoon.

Shen Yunyan's eyes lit up and then dimmed again.

"Doesn't the girl want to see him?" The small stool asked.

Shen Yunyan shook her head slowly and said, "It's like seeing each other. If he doesn't come to see me, how can I see him? Maybe he has forgotten me long ago."

The small stool smiled and said, "How come? Then Song Nan's little maidservant is not ruthless. Otherwise, if the girl falls in love with him, won't he take advantage of it? The cruel refusal of the girl to leave is also for the girl's future. Didn't you say this?

Shen Yunyan nodded and said, "Yes, but I still can't go to find him. He is now the prince of the country, and the military affairs at hand are enough for him. At this time, I went to find him and ruined his reputation, and he didn't have time to see me."

The small stool rumled with big eyes and suddenly said, "Does the girl want to see him or not? If you want, the little maid has a good idea that the custody will not cause criticism, and she can also see the Duke of Zhen. If you don't want to, forget it. The little maid didn't say anything.

Shen Yunyan shook her body and looked at the small stool and said, "Do you have a good idea?"

"The girl only said she wanted to see him."

Shen Yunyan hesitated for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Think..."

"That's right. Just think about it. If you don't want it, you just don't want it. The girl has always been straightforward. Then this method is..."

Shen Yunyan's eyes widened, looked at the red lips of the small stool coming to her ear and said something. Her heart thumped and whispered, "Is it okay?"

"Why not? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. No... Women are responsible."

Shen Yunyan pinched her fingers and thought for a while, and made up her mind, "That's all right, it's up to you. You go and prepare. I'll change into an inconspicuous clothes."

The small stool agreed and stepped out of the room quickly.

......

Since afternoon, Song Nan has come to a wharf called Xiaguan in the northwest of Nanjing to sit in the town. This is the mouth of the Qinhuai River. After the Qinhuai River winding out of the city, it has actually become the moat of Nanjing City. There is also a mouth of the river in another place called the Sancacia River, but this is its original outlet, and The ships ordered by Song Nan to gather here.

After lunch, the thirty-three ships of the Nanjing Marine Division arrived earlier. Song Nan sat on the deck of one of the big ships and watched the large and small boats coming from the city gather here. She was happy and couldn't help sighing the importance of people's strength to the war.

Song Nan naturally doesn't want to become a burden. Every time a boat comes, he pays silver as rent and makes it clear to the ship owner, but as long as the ship is damaged, it will be compensated at the price and will never let the ship owners suffer losses.

In the early afternoon, a large number of ships began to arrive in groups. To be honest, these boats were not eye-catching at all. Some were canoes, some were awning boats, some were board boats, and some were slightly larger fishing boats, and one was not decent. Several generals accompanying Song Nan here scratched their scalps like snowflakes. They didn't know what the use of these ships could be. Can these boats compete with Zhu Chenhao's large warships? There is no need to have a hand in hand, and the collision has also been sunk. I don't know how happy the prince is.

They don't dare to say these words. The rule of the prince's war is that if he wants you to give opinions, you must say it. When he doesn't ask for everyone's opinions, everyone should speak less. Dozens of previous battles show that the more you think that the prince is messing around, the more you will definitely be slapped in the end, which will make you stunned.

However, when a brightly colored flower boat slowly came from a distance, the generals could not calm down. The boat was exquisite and gorgeous, and it was like a white and tender beauty standing among a group of beggars in a group of tattered boats, which was extremely conspicuous and incongious.

Which brothel came to join in the fun? Is it possible to sit on a painting and go to war? It's really inexplicable.

Song Nan also saw the painting boat. He couldn't help laughing at this scene. He said that the awareness of the people in Nanjing was really high. With an order, the people of the brothel also took the painting boat to participate in the war. Which brothel is so enlightened, but he should take a good look.

"Ade according to the rules, ask the boat to come over and ask the ship owner to come and talk." Song Nan gave the order with a smile.

"Grandpa, you'd better send the boat away. What's the blue building painting boat for? Don't get into bad luck."

"What's the matter? The patriotism of the people can't be attacked. What's wrong with the brothel? During the Anti-Japanese War, the sisters in the Shanghai flower industry also donated several planes.

"What? Anti-Japanese? Airplane?" Several generals didn't understand what Song Nan was talking about.

Song Nan spilled her words and had no way to explain, so she coughed, "In a word, everyone has the right and obligation to serve the country and bring the ship."
