Chapter 645 Jiangnan is like smoke, and the boat listens to the rain

In the Huangmei season, it rains at home, and the grass pond is full of frogs. ◢ With the *dream* small ◢.com

Some guests do not come to stay overnight and a half, and they knock on the chess pieces and drop the lights.

In May and June of the lunar calendar every year, when the plums in the south of the Yangtze River are ripe, the plum rainy season will come as scheduled, and the plum rain in the second year of Jiajing is no exception, the warm and humid monsoon brings the abundant water vapor of the ocean to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the rain often lasts for ten months, which is really annoying.

The intermittent rain, big and small, has been raining for five days in a row, the air seems to be able to wring out the water, standing on the boat and looking out, but seeing the mist and rain on both sides of the canal, it casts a veil of mystery on the graceful water town in the south of the Yangtze River in Suzhou.

The Qinchalou boat was moving unhurriedly on the canal, and the banner of the Xuanhuang Tuan Dragon Flag on the bow of the ship had already been wet by the rain, and the small raindrops hit the deck with a soft sound.

Xu Jin left Yangzhou City on May 16, and took a boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal all the way south, because there were stops in the prefectures and counties along the way, so it took 10 days to enter the boundary of Suzhou, and it took about half a day to arrive at the city of Suzhou.

The matter in Yangzhou has been basically concluded, and the land clearance work has also opened up the situation, and the new Yangzhou government will strictly enforce the sentence Zhu Kun, so there is no need for Xu Jin to continue to stay in Yangzhou City, so he took a boat to continue to inspect the south, urging all prefectures and counties to step up the land clearance work.

Xu Jin arrested the prefect Jiang Ping in Yangzhou Mansion, overthrew Shi Haoran, the salt transport envoy of Lianghuai who had a deep background, and also eliminated a large number of officials and gentry involved in smuggling, which undoubtedly played a deterrent role in killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Therefore, wherever Xu Jin passed, the local officials in the state capitals were all trembling, walking on thin ice, and naturally no one dared to disobey the yang and the yin, and they all honestly implemented the land clearance policy, after all, once Xu beheaded and spot-checked, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

According to the plan, Xu Jin will patrol all the way south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and since Suzhou is the largest government after Yangzhou, Xu Jin intends to stay here for a while, and then continue south to Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

It is said that since Xia Yan, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, has written several times urging Xu Jin to go south, because he has arrested many gentry and businessmen involved in smuggling in Ningbo, Zhejiang, or officials who provide protection for smuggling, including Zhao Rui, the governor of Ningbo Prefecture.

In addition, Xia Yan also searched the private sea vessels in Ningbo Prefecture, and destroyed them immediately after finding them, so he completely angered the local interest groups, and the impeachment of him flew to Nanjing and the capital like snowflakes, and the pressure was not ordinary, and he was about to be unable to withstand it.

Xu Jin was not in a hurry to run to wipe Xia Yan's ass this time, and just took this opportunity to make this donkey suffer a little, so he took the building boat to the south unhurriedly, and in addition to the leisure of the inspection, he also ran to visit the places of interest along the way, which was very foolish!

The cabin of the Qinchalou ship is very spacious, and it is rainy and misty outside, but the cabin is very dry and the atmosphere is relaxed and warm.

At this time, Xu Jin is tasting the Dongting Biluo Spring Tea made by the pretty maid in early spring, and the jade flute between the lips in early summer is blowing out a tactful sound of flute.

Wang Cuiqiao, dressed in an emerald green skirt, is sitting in front of a guqin, graceful and picturesque, and her slender hands jump out of a series of pleasant notes on the strings, which correspond to the sound of the flute.

It can be heard from the melody that the two girls are playing a song "Fairy Sword Love" together, and at this time, Wang Cuiqiao finally opened her lips and sang "The drizzle is drifting, the breeze is shaking, and the love is long with infatuation......"

I have to say that Wang Cuiqiao's voice has been favored by God, and when she opened her mouth, the heavenly singing voice instantly shocked people's spirits, and then they were intoxicated by it.

Listening to Wang Cuiqiao's singing is undoubtedly a pleasure, if you can watch her sing, it is even more of a fairy-like enjoyment, the stunning beauty of the city, and the unparalleled singing skills are perfect!

However, this kind of fairy-like enjoyment, Lord Xu has been enjoying it for a long time, and he is even a little addicted. Just after Wang Cuiqiao's injury was healed, Lord Xu ran to listen to the songs of the Wang family almost every day, and even did not hesitate to "compose" a lot of new songs to "discuss" with the Wang family, and this time he also brought the Wang family to Hangzhou in the south.

As a result, the Wang family, who won the Oiran for three consecutive terms, became the private singer of Lord Xu, and of course, Lord Xu also became the queen of the Wang family. Moreover, Xu Jin's "high yield" really shocked Wang Cuiqiao beyond measure, she really didn't understand how a person could make a new song every day, it was incredible.

Gradually, Wang Cuiqiao became accustomed to Xu Jin's endless new songs, and changed from shock at the beginning to numbness. Sometimes Wang Cuiqiao even felt that as long as she followed Xu Jin, she no longer needed to travel around the world to collect style, because she couldn't finish singing the songs Xu Jin composed.

"Love is moving, in the green mountains, the gusts of wind are instantaneous. Looking for a beautiful woman, love is difficult to be true, and Edgeworth breaks through the dust...... If you are with you, you don't envy the mandarin ducks and don't envy the immortals. ”

At the end of the song, the sound of the piano and flute stopped, only the sound of rain outside the window, but the beautiful singing sound seemed to echo in the ears.

Xu Jin sighed lightly, and before he had time to sigh, Qiu Yan had already shook his head and shook his head, and said in a rough voice, "Miss Cuiqiao's song should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world, and the aftermath will be endless!" ”

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly, "Lord Xu, can you change your rhetoric, don't talk about my young lady, even the maid is tired of hearing it." ”

The two pretty maids in early spring and early summer couldn't help laughing.

Xu Jin smiled dumbly and said, "Then the official will change the rhetoric, Miss Cuiqiao's singing is wonderful, it's so good to hear it, it's soul-grabbing, and it makes people want to stop." ”

Wang Cuiqiao, who was about to take a sip of tea to moisten her throat, almost squirted. Qiu Yan giggled and said, "Lord Xu, isn't my young lady's appearance seductive and unstoppable?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat profusely, this spicy really dared to say anything. Wang Cuiqiao's cheeks were like fire, and she glanced at the maid in shame, not knowing whether it was true, or deliberately hiding her embarrassment, she coughed violently.

This scared Qiu Yan, although the young lady is already well now, but the injury has not fully recovered, but don't have any repetition, and don't dare to talk about it anymore, so she hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Wang Cuiqiao's back worriedly.

Fortunately, Wang Cuiqiao coughed for a moment and calmed down, and Xu Jin asked with concern, "Miss Cuiqiao, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Do you want to stop the boat and find a doctor? ”

Wang Cuiqiao's heart warmed, she blushed slightly and shook her head and said, "It's not in the way, I'm choking on drinking water." ”

Xu Jin was a little relieved when he heard this, but it was not good to let Wang Cuiqiao continue to sing.

It is estimated that it is the reason why she just coughed, Wang Cuiqiao's eyes were watery at the moment, and she looked at Xu Jin with bright eyes, and said with a light smile, "Lou Boat listens to the rain, Jiangnan is like smoke, in this situation, shouldn't Lord Xu have good poems to help celebrate?" ”

After saying this, everyone in the cabin was dazzled, and in early summer, this little hoof was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic, clapping his palms and laughing, "Yes, yes, yes, the master hasn't made new poems for a long time." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, under the gaze of the women, he had to get up and paced in the cabin, his brain searched quickly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he smiled, "There is!" ”

Xu Jin's poems are famous, and there is a draft in such a short time, and all the women are not surprised, but think that this is normal, and they all look at Xu Jin with blazing eyes.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too famous, it seems that he will definitely not be able to write poetry easily in the future.

Xu Jin stood still in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the wind and rain outside, and slowly said, "The wind and rain are in Kyushu, and the waves are flowing eastward." But the rest of the characters are difficult to find, and they travel far away with wind and thunder. ”

Xu Jin had just finished chanting, and in the early spring and early summer, he was already applauding with admiration.

Wang Cuiqiao's beautiful eyes glanced at Xu Jin, the style of this poem is the same as Xu Jin's previous poems, as always heroic and majestic, and suddenly crushed the graceful and gentle Jiangnan smoke and rain, alas, I don't know how much wind and thunder our Lord Xu will bring to the state capital along the way when he goes south this time!
