Chapter 159: The Sound of Oars and the Shadow of Lights

Hearing Chen Ji's order, Princess Ning Yuan said angrily on the side:

"Daddy, I also told my sister this, but what did my sister say about Lord Xu, Lord Lu, and five cousins in the court······ Anyway, a lot of adults have passed, and if the royal family buys it directly, it will inevitably disappoint many courtiers in the government and the opposition, and the daughter doesn't know what it means anyway······"

The smile on Chen Ji's face suddenly froze, and the chopsticks he held turned slightly white, and his green tendons bulged.

Xu Ling, Lu Qiong, Chen Bogu······ It's really lively. Chen Ji muttered, "Originally, I thought this was a pool of stagnant water, but I didn't expect that one by one of you would still not be able to hold back after all. ”

Chen Ji tried his best to warn Chen Shuling before, but he didn't expect that Chen Shuling was just honest for the past few days, and he was ready to move so soon.

Why did Xu Ling, the old fox, step into this troubled water? And Lu Qiong, is this guy really planning to follow Chen Shuling all the way to the dark? Chen Ji clenched his chopsticks tightly, and his finger joints rattled slightly.

The sudden change made him, who was already wary of Chen Shuling, even more angry.

It's really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!

Noticing that Chen Ji's face had changed, Ning Yuan asked curiously, "Daddy, are you uncomfortable, why is your face a little pale?" ”

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were vaguely aware of something, and they all took a few steps back, bowed their heads and didn't dare to say more.

Chen Ji suddenly noticed his daughter who was close to him, his expression was in a trance, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, A-Ning, you don't have to worry." Come on, come on, let's eat, today Daddy's tired A-Ning has been waiting for a long time, A-Ning don't blame Dad! ”

"How so!" Princess Ning Yuan said with a smile.

Chen Ji looked at Ning Yuan who was eating lovingly, but he didn't really leave behind all the thoughts that had just passed in his heart, he subconsciously looked sideways at the open window on one side, and tried his best to look into the direction of the Qinhuai River.

This Emperor of Da Chen has a surprisingly complicated gaze.

As an emperor, there are some things that he has to do with all his might, even if he can't figure it out.

——————————————————-

Li Xinchen's stay in Jiankang Mansion is not short, but it is the first time to come to this Qinhuai River as a tourist, let alone go shopping.

And today is the first time that Li Xinchen has truly seen the elegance of both sides of the Qinhuai Strait - the elegance of Qinhuai, which is completely different from what he saw in his previous life, and the elegance of Qinhuai that has haunted the dreams of generations of literati.

From the Southern Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the outside world has been reversed again and again, but the wind and moon on the banks of the Qinhuai River have never changed for thousands of years.

It is as if the tide of time and history is stagnant in this river.

The gentle flow of the river reflects the pavilions on both sides, and the sound of laughter ripples in the gentle wind of late spring and early summer.

After all, it is now several periods of the Xiaoice River in Chinese history, and the temperature in this era is generally low compared to later generations, so even if it is about to enter summer, Jiankang Mansion is still quite cool, not to mention the windy riverside.

Perhaps for this reason, the large and small streets on both sides of the Qinhuai River are crowded with people almost all day long, even if it is not the time for recess, the people of Jiankang Mansion have no way to hide their love for both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties, the banks of the Qinhuai River at this time are far from being occupied by the Baiqinglou Chu Pavilion, after all, compared with the millennium later, the current Jiankang Mansion is not big, and most of the cities are mansions, and there are not many places that can be vacated for the development of shops and restaurants, and these shops are mainly concentrated on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

It can be said that the Qinhuai River in front of Li Xinchen is not the imaginary flower street Willow Lane, but a commercial street full of all kinds of shops.

Thinking about it, the mansions of dignitaries and nobles in this era are mainly concentrated in the line from Wuyi Lane to Confucius Temple, and this can almost be said to be part of the streets around the Qinhuai River, so whether it is Wang Xie in the early years, or Xu Ling and others later, they will not be allowed to open the door to the Flower Street and Willow Lane.

On the top of the moon, the painting boats swimming in the river swayed under the bridge, and in the blink of an eye, they came out from under the bridge. And Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie leaned on the railing of the bridge, eager to watch the boat come and go for a day.

Because from morning shopping all the way to dusk, although it is slow and leisurely, stop and go, but it is really torturous, and now only Li Li'er still has the spirit to walk in front, and Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie, a pair of difficult brothers and sisters who are behind, are about to lie on the ground.

Li Xinchen looked at Li Li'er's side with disdain, if there is another guy who is fine, I'm afraid it is this guy, Xiao Shilian has been by Li Li'er's side since he went out, and the two of them talked and laughed all the way, and they seemed to have forgotten that there were two big living people behind them.

Sure enough, a woman's ability to go shopping is the same no matter which dynasty it is in. As for Xiao Shilian, he can only be said to be motivated.

"I don't know how this guy Boqing persevered," Pei Zilie tapped lightly on the railing, "I'd rather march for a day than go shopping for another day." ”

Regarding Pei Zilie's complaints, Li Xinchen can only say that he empathizes. At the moment, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he reluctantly glanced at the Qinhuai River in the shadow of the oars, and then said: "Let's go, if we don't follow up, I'm afraid no one will be able to find it after a while." ”

Pei Zilie nodded.

At this time, Li Li'er and Xiao Shilian seemed to finally realize that they were not going out alone, Xiao Shilian turned around and beckoned while holding the rock sugar gourd: "Dashi, Shizhong, you two hurry up and keep up!" ”

Li Li'er smiled and stuffed a rock sugar gourd into Li Xinchen's hand, and handed another one to Pei Zilie: "General Pei, brother, Boqing said, the front is the new shop of precious Chinese paintings, let's hurry up and take a look, this is already the street, let's go home after seeing this!" ”

Li Xinchen rolled his eyes, to be honest, even if he was really interested in that Han painting, he really didn't want to go down at this time.

And Pei Zilie glanced at Xiao Shilian suspiciously, Li Li'er just called him clearly, although Pei Zilie is a person who doesn't like to think more about other people's thoughts, but to say that he can't find a little trick in this, then he is too incompetent.

Xiao Shilian was already a thief, and he was looking around unnaturally, and at this time, he was facing Pei Zilie's gaze, and he could only scratch his head and laugh dryly.

Pei Zilie shook his head, after all, this is not his sister, and in the end, he shouldn't have anything to worry about.
