Jinling Mansion, this is a very interesting city, this is a city connecting the north and south, and it is also a prosperous city that is not inferior to the imperial capital.

There is a way to be "the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial state of Jinling", Jinling Mansion was built for nearly 2,000 years, it is the ancient capital of six dynasties, the capital of ten dynasties, and it has been blessed by the Central Plains Zhengshuo inheritance several times, and it is also known as the hub of the world.

Jinling Mansion has extravagance, fat powder, and heroism.

Contradictory but not conflicting.

Jinling Mansion has been baptized by fire several times, and it is a general in troubled times. In the peaceful and prosperous era, she is like a graceful lady, lazily lying on the bank of the river, charming and natural. This is the Jinling Mansion where the Qinhuai River for ten miles, the gold powder land of the Six Dynasties, and the peddlers and pawns all have the smoke and water of the Six Dynasties.

Approaching the end of the year, a heavy snowfall came. The grassland people are afraid of the snow like a disaster, called the white disaster, but the people of the Central Plains want to say "Ruixue Trillion Year", it seems that next year is a good year, the harvest is good, whether it is the court or the people, can live. Because of this snow, the canal is a busy scene again, there is only one Grand Canal, and the grain and silver transported from the south of the Yangtze River to the imperial capital must be rushed in these days, otherwise it will delay the mission, so a huge canal is full of ships going north. If you want to charter a boat to go south, it is not easy.

At this time, the advantages of shipping appeared, a large ship departed from Youzhou, passed through the North Sea, crossed the East China Sea, took the wind and water, and arrived at the harbor wharf of Jinling Mansion in only ten days.

At this time, the snow was all over the sea, and many sea ships were parked in the harbor, and this ship could not see the other party's situation when it was a foot away from that ship, and could only faintly see a huge black shadow sailing, compared with ordinary sea ships, it was a small thing.

Suddenly, a loud cannon sound sounded on the surface of the river, and although the snow and fog were thick, a large ball of fire could still be seen shining above the river. Immediately afterwards, you can already vaguely see the appearance of this big ship, tall as a building, the bottom tip is wide, nearly 40 zhang long, about 20 zhang wide, 12 sails, can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, the body is majestic, and the giant is invincible. In addition, the ship was also equipped with 36 guns, each weighing 10,000 catties, cast in red copper, holding 24 catties of bullets, and firing a range of up to five miles. If you encounter a naval battle, you are really invincible.

The knowledgeable seafarers had already recognized the ship and said, "Treasure ship!"

When Emperor Taizong sent an envoy to Bosa Prefecture, the ship he took was a treasure ship, showing the majesty and honor of the Heavenly Empire. It's just that with the implementation of the ban on the sea by the imperial court, the treasure ships that flourished for a time were abandoned one after another, and only the Qingwei Sect, the Replenishing Heaven Sect, the Cihang Sect and other sects still existed, but they would not be used if they were idle.

Sure enough, a lantern had already been raised on the ship, and a lantern was reflected: "Mending Heaven Sect"!

The seafarers may not be from the rivers and lakes, but they are used to the sea routes, and if they want to beg for food at sea, they can't always bypass the Beihai Mending Heaven Sect, the East China Sea Qingwei Sect and the South China Sea Cihang Sect.

Could it be that Qin Qing, the "Heavenly Sword," came to Jinling Mansion in person? Now there are rumors that it is said that it is a marriage of three sects, and that in the future, Beihai, South China, and East China Sea will be one, and they will all be a family.

There are two major wealthy families in Jinling Mansion, one is the Qian family, who controls Cao Yun and is friendly with the Taiping Sect. One is the Su family, whose focus is on shipping and has a close relationship with the Cihang Sect. As early as the third year of Ming Yong, the Su family built a wharf here, and in the year of Mu Zong, under the initiative of Zhang Suqing, the sea ban was opened for a short time, and there were more than 10,000 ships that sailed here every year.

Towards the end of the year, the heavy snow arrives early, because of the congestion of water transportation, many ships are switched to shipping, and the wharf is intertwined, and it is very lively. But at this moment, all the people on the dock were dispersed and crowded on the shore on both sides of the pier, and the dock was empty, heavily guarded and orderly.

Those who dare to act like this in Jinling Mansion are not the Governor Yamen, nor the Weaving Bureau, but the wealthy families.

A group of men dressed in thick winter clothes, with knives on their waists, stood upright in two rows from the river bank along the stone steps to the top of the pier, among the falling snowflakes.

Then there were a few luxurious carriages coming slowly, and the carriage that walked in front also had lanterns on it, but it was a big "Su" character, second only to the "Su" of the Qian family in Jinling Mansion, and at the end there was a carriage that was slightly distanced away, with the word "Qian" lantern. The onlookers from afar understood that this was a battle to welcome the guests, with the Su family as the main body, the Qian family as the accompaniment, and the guests were naturally from the Qin family.

The carriage slowly stopped, and out of it came two stunning women, both wearing white fox fur cloaks with no variegated colors, with one-piece hoods on the cloaks, and attendants holding oil-paper snow umbrellas to keep out the snow.

After the two women stood still, they looked at the treasure ship on the sea and slowly approached the pier, and at this time, they could see that there was also a woman standing on the bow of the boat, dressed in a big hat.

The three women are Su Yuncheng, Qian Jin'er and Qin Su.

After Li Xuandu explained that Qin Su was going to meet Su Yuncheng, Qin Su began to arrange the relevant matters of leaving for the south, originally she planned to wait until the spring of the year before acting, but she didn't expect the situation of Zhengyizong to change so quickly, so after Qin Su got the news, he changed his plan, gave Su Yuncheng a letter of repair, and immediately set off for the south.

In terms of Qin Su's temperament, he is reluctant to be so swaggering, but Li Xuandu's intention is to take care of Yan Feiqing, and the key is to make a posture. The gesture is for others to see, of course, the bigger the pomp, the better, and it is necessary for people to know, otherwise Qin Su secretly came to see Yan Feiqing and Su Yuncheng alone, and the Zhang clan of Zhengyizong still didn't know anything, so it wouldn't be interesting. Now Qin Su came to Jinling Mansion on a treasure boat, just to let the people who oppose Yan Feiqing in the Zhengyi Sect know that she and Li Xuan both support Yan Feiqing, Qin Su is the suzerain of the Forgetful Sect, and Li Xuan is the suzerain of the Taiping Sect.

As for Su Yuncheng and the Cihang Sect behind her,

And so it is. Anyway, Yan Feiqing is Su Yunming's Taoist companion and Cihangzong's son-in-law, and now that Yan Feiqing is in trouble, Cihangzong has no suitable candidate to marry Zhang Jingshen, there is only one white embroidered dress, and one woman can't serve two husbands. Cihangzong can't afford to lose this face, if Cihangzong has to marry his daughter to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, then what's the difference with the Lady Sect?

From this point of view, Zhang Jingxiu's deposition of Yan Feiqing's position as the sect master also has the meaning of retreating as advance.

After Qin Su got off the boat, he was followed by Qin Buer, who was also a woman. Although the people in the rivers and lakes don't care much, they can't completely ignore it. As a woman, it is not easy for Qin Su to go to see Yan Feiqing alone, so she still went to see Su Yuncheng in name, and Su Yuncheng specially invited Qian Jin'er to accompany her, which also had this consideration. As for the reason, it is ready-made, now pay attention to being a teacher for one day and a father for life, Su Yuncheng is a disciple of Bai Xiushang, equivalent to half a daughter, and Bai Xiushang is about to be Qin Su's stepmother, from this point of view, the two are half-sisters. When the sisters meet, a group of women get together, and no one can find the slightest mistake.

After the four women exchanged greetings, Su Yuncheng smiled and said: "Nu Wan has arrived, accompanied by Yun Jiao, Bai Juan and Nu Wan can have this heart, Yun Cheng thanked her first." ”

After saying that, Su Yuncheng solemnly saluted Qin Su.

Qin Su hurriedly held her up, "Don't dare to be like this, you and I sisters, Zifu is friendly with Yan Zhenren again, we ...... It's also a good family, so why bother to see it. ”

Nu Wan is Yu Qingning's expression, after Qin Su heard it, although her face was not obvious, but there was still something strange in her heart, because she had not communicated with Yu Qingning beforehand, so a thought came to her mind: "Zifu thought of this, Nu Wan also thought of this, but they have a heart." ”

Although the two are close friends, when it comes to the people around them, Rao is Qin Su's indifferent and comfortable temperament is also a little uncomfortable. But this is all reasonable, it is strange to be at ease, if you really want to talk about it, Qin Su also knows her own shortcomings, she doesn't like mundane affairs, she is too born, her temperament is casual, her face is thin, in addition to her family background, she is really not a good candidate for virtuous help, although she can trust Li Xuandu, it does not mean that she can completely feel at ease. There is a way that is the most difficult to accept the grace of a beauty, if it is an extremely excellent and brilliant woman, if you don't marry, how many men can hold it? Speaking of which, the relationship between Yu Qingning and Li Xuandu is much earlier than her, to put it mildly, if there was not a Zhang Baiyue back then, the two may not be able to have a fate.

Qin Su thought about this, and listened to Su Yuncheng say: "Since I have said this, I would like to congratulate Bai Juan and Zifu on their marriage." ”

Qin Su immediately came back to his senses, and couldn't help but laugh at his own gains and losses, the two of them have already decided to marry, and they are not far from getting married, what are you worried about, Li Xuan has gone to the Golden Horde, but she is here with a small belly, it really shouldn't be.

Then she silently apologized to Li Xuandu in her heart, "It's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, don't blame Brother Xuan." ”
