Chapter 332

The Shangsi Festival on March [-]rd is actually an ancient festival. In the Ming Dynasty, it may still be celebrated in many places in the south, but it has long been lost in the folk in the north.

A southerner like Qin Dewei still has the idea of ​​going out on a trip on March [-]rd to hook up with young ladies, but Xu Miaoxuan, a girl from a good family who grew up in the north, has no such awareness, and doesn't think there is anything special about this day.

But in the flower world of the capital, there is also the custom of beauties going out for an outing on March [-]rd, and then competing for beauty.Not just against yourself, but also against those accompanying you.

So this gave Qin Dewei an opportunity to hook up with other young ladies who were not from good families on this day.

Miss Ren Xiaoyi also knew that she came very abruptly, so she talked with Qin Dewei all afternoon, explaining the ins and outs along the way, and brought the relationship closer.

"Going out tomorrow, if you meet a sister from my family, sir, you must call yourself the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River, so that your name will be resounding enough." Ren Xiaoyi clasped her hands together and said in a charming voice.

The girl's words were quite interesting, and Qin Dewei couldn't help laughing a few times, "Can't Jinling work? I have always been known as the number one in Jinling."

"Sir, you may not know something. The capital here has a high vision. It only says that the number one in Jinling is not good enough. At least it must be the number one in Jiangnan."

Qin Dewei teased Ren Xiaoyi and said, "Wouldn't it be more powerful to be the number one in Ming Dynasty? To be honest, it is not difficult for me to be the number one in Ming Dynasty now."

The little lady stretched out her slender and white fingers, and pointed towards the imperial palace to the east: "In the capital, even if you brag, it's best not to say that Daming is number one."

Qin Dewei was speechless, he deserved to be a member of the capital, and his political awareness was high.

Until the evening approached, Ren Xiaoyi apologized and said: "I have to go back early to prepare the carriages, horses, food and drinks, so I have to go first."

Watching Ren Xiaoyi leave, Ma Er leaned up and asked with a smile: "Do you still need to send a letter to Sister Xuan? Don't you need to run errands?"

Qin Dewei gave Ma Er a push: "Who said you don't need to run errands? Hurry up! Just say invite her to travel the next day or the next day!"

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've done this kind of time management.

In the capital city, there are only two places to go for picnics outside the city, Xishan, which is a little farther to the west, and Haidian, which is a little closer to the northwest.

Unlike in Jinling, you can travel in all four directions.

Spring outings on March [-] are of course more suitable for Haidian, which has a shallow lake.

On the next day, Ren Xiaoyi came to pick up Qin Dewei in a carriage.

For safety, Qin Dewei took Ma Erduanqing with him, but the two could only walk behind the carriage.

There are many people going out of the city to play, and the carriage can't go fast, so the two of them will not be too tired after walking.

Exit the city from the nearest Fucheng Gate, and then look northwest.

Yes, Haidian is located in Haidian District after 500 years.It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, this place belonged to the wilderness, and Qin Dewei couldn't tell the geographical position of later generations at all.

Along the way, there are crowds of tourists, bustling, and there are also men and women in costumes traveling through the city in fresh clothes and angry horses.

The main reason is that there is no wind and sand today, which is a very suitable day for traveling.

Looking at a man riding a horse in front of him, Qin Dewei was thoughtful, as if he should also learn how to ride a horse.

Not long after walking, when he saw the lake in the distance, Ren Xiaoyi said to Qin Dewei: "You can come down and walk, let's go visit the lake."

Qin Dewei and Ren Xiaoyi walked side by side, looked at the surrounding scenery and people, and muttered with a little disappointment: "Look at this scene, everyone is playing in their own way, isn't there a large-scale gathering?"

Ren Xiaoyi asked in surprise: "Is this very important?"

Qin Dewei asked rhetorically: "If there is no focus, how can you be famous? How can you spread?"

Originally, I was thinking about publishing some poems, but judging by the scene, even if they were published, they didn't have much power to spread them.

Suddenly I heard a voice shouting: "I didn't expect to meet Sister Ren, what a coincidence!"

Qin Dewei raised his eyes and saw a charming woman, who greeted Ren Xiaoyi excitedly.

Ren Xiaoyi also responded: "Long time no see, Third Sister Chang!"

Then the enchanting lady surnamed Chang looked at Qin Dewei a few times, and teased Ren Xiaoyi, "I didn't expect you to change your taste, and now you like the little scholar?"

Ren Xiaoyi introduced Qin Dewei, "This is Qin Dewei, the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River."

Chang Sanniang said shamelessly: "Sister Ren, have you read too many stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies?

These kinds of scholars are unreliable, they are used to bragging, those stories are also written by the scholars to deceive people! "

Ren Xiaoyi gave Mrs. Chang a light thump, and defended Qin Dewei: "Sister Chang, don't talk nonsense!

Have you heard of Wang Lianqing, the number one beauty in Nanjing?It was Mr. Qin who picked it up, and Wang Lianqing also succumbed to Mr. Qin's talent. "

Huh?Qin Dewei was slightly surprised that Ren Xiaoyi knew him so well.

Could it be that she has communicated with the sisters in the south and knows some details about herself?
Hearing this sentence, Chang Sanniang took another serious look at Qin Dewei.

People in the industry or veteran drivers who travel across the north and south know that the quality of the top beauties in Nanjing is actually higher than that in Beijing.

Those who can win the title of "Jinling's No. [-] Beauty" must be respected by people in the industry.

As mentioned earlier, when a beauty in the flower world travels today, she must be accompanied by a man to set off her worth.

There was also a man in his thirties beside Chang Sanniang. Seeing that the two women only talked about Qin Dewei, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she interjected lightly:
"These poor routines are useless in the capital, aren't they? In the final analysis, in the capital, it's about power and money."

Chang Sanniang also came to her senses, she couldn't ignore the benefactor next to her, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes!
In the boundary of the capital, there is no shortage of scholars, and there are thousands of them in the north of the city.

If talents were useful, Wen Zhengming, a great Jiangnan talent ten years ago, would not have left after only staying in the capital for two or three years. "

Qin Dewei: "."

Mr. Wen Hengshan, what did you do in the capital?Those who are still on the horse have become negative models, dragging down the reputation of our group of romantic and talented scholars!
Ren Xiaoyi retorted: "How can you say that talent is useless? Back then, Wen Zhengming didn't bother to make friends with the powerful, even though he was invited, he ignored it."

Chang Sanniang retorted: "So it was useless in the end, and the seniors in the same industry were not willing to talk to him at that time."

Ren Xiaoyi couldn't say enough about Chang Sanniang, and was at a loss for words.

Qin Dewei pulled Ren Xiaoyi and said: "Let's go! What is there to talk nonsense with these shallow, ridiculous, ignorant and fearless people. Listening to one more sentence will make my ears dirty."

The man next to Chang Sanniang asked aggressively: "Many scholars are used to putting on airs, pretending to be empty and bluffing.

What's your opinion, may you please tell me? "

Qin Dewei said disdainfully: "Do you want me to ask you your identity? In order to take the opportunity to show off?

Sorry, I'm not very interested in dignitaries below Shangshu or small rich men below 100,000 taels.

If you have not reached this level, please refrain from opening your mouth. "

Ren Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing out loud, Mr. Qin's mouth is really too bad.
