Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 55 There must be something 'faulty'

In July, there is no wind or rain, neither rush nor impatience.

"Among the colorful clouds of Chaoci Baidi, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day."

"The monkeys on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

The young man in white stands in front of the boat, reciting loudly, and the sound is transmitted in the empty valley between the high mountain and the river valley.

The two women in the boat applauded repeatedly and couldn't stop applauding.

Not to mention the fatigue of the journey, but the scenery along the way is already refreshing.

Guan Ziyang and his party hired two boats from Baidi City, and it was the first time they traveled by water in ancient times. The speed really shocked Guan Ziyang.

Shixian sincerely do not deceive me, the [-]-mile waterway to Jiangling, they are afraid that they will be able to reach it tonight.

After a while, the sound of the zither was melodious, and Wei Yiqing was playing the qin on the bow of the boat. The song "High Mountain and Flowing Water", under the blessing of the carillon, attracted the apes on both sides of the strait to look at the small boat in the river.

After the song was over, Guan Ziyang smiled and said, "Miss Wei, your piano skills have improved..."

"It's all thanks to your bell." Wei Yiqing got up, and also stood at the bow of the boat to stand side by side with Guan Ziyang.

Then Yan Ran smiled and said: "After listening to the good poetry of my junior brother, I should repay it with music."

In the black canopy of the small boat, Qing Chan looked at the two people in front of her like a pair of jade couples who wrote poems and played the piano, and then looked at her hands that were rough in housework all the year round, and there were ripples in her calm heart...

Laughing and laughing all the way, at dusk, I really arrived in Jiangling.

After landing on the shore and disembarking the boat, everyone was shocked by the prosperity of Jiangling. There was a lot of traffic and people's voices. It is unexpected that there is such a bustling place in this troubled world.

Guan Ziyang couldn't help sighing: "This is Jiangling, which is as famous as Jiankang, and is known as "Jiangzuo's largest town, no better than Jingyang". It really lives up to its reputation."

They found the best inn in the city and slept in the open for several days. Everyone decided to have a good night's rest.

This is the second time that Guan Ziyang has stayed in an inn in his life. Compared with the inn in Xiangdong County where he once stayed, this one is obviously more upscale and luxurious.

It's only been a month since he became rich, and Guan Ziyang is still not used to this kind of high consumption.

Xiaoer was very enthusiastic, and while helping everyone make tea, he asked with a smile: "Are you from Sichuan with your accents? These days, there are quite a lot of aristocratic families from Sichuan."

Guan Ziyang asked with great interest: "Oh? Why?"

Xiao Er was surprised: "Young Master, don't you know?"

Seeing Guan Ziyang shaking his head, he replied: "At the beginning of this year, our governor of Jingzhou, General Huan of the Xifu submitted petitions for the Northern Expedition many times, but the imperial court refused to respond. This is exactly what angered people with lofty ideals in the world."

Guan Ziyang recalled that this happened in 352 years in history, and asked: "But what does this have to do with the eastward migration of Shu people?"

"Let's fight. Xiao Jingwen and Zhou Fu from Yizhou and Liangzhou, Sima Xun, Zhang Ju and Qianqin fought so hard."

"And I heard that the imperial court appointed Yin Hao as a general of the Chinese army and planned to send him to the Northern Expedition to collect Xuchang and Luoyang. Rich people like to come to our Jingzhou."

Then Xiaoer gave a thumbs up and said proudly: "Only in our land of Jingzhou, where General Huan sits in command, can there be peace."

Guan Ziyang thought: "Unexpectedly, Huan Wen's prestige and popular support in Jingzhou are well established!"

Although he learned that Yin Hao would still go to the Northern Expedition, Guan Ziyang did not want to participate at this time.

Because Yin Hao's Northern Expedition was false, and Huanwen's Northern Expedition was not allowed to be true.

This is a battle that is doomed to failure in terms of the nature of its purpose.

And this still involves the issue of standing in line. Before he has decided on a product, neither Huan Wen nor the court can offend him.

Now he doesn't know which team to stand on, nor should he stand on the team.

Xiao Er brought some steamed cakes and a large bowl of vegetable soup, then said goodbye and closed the door.

Guan Zhengde grabbed two cakes and said: "Man, eat slowly, I'll go and take care of the coachman and boatman. The two old cows sat on the boat for a whole day, and they said that they would not eat or drink."

As soon as Guan Zhengde left, there were only three people left in the room.

Qingchan said slowly: "Young Lord and Miss Wei take it easy, I'm a little seasick, I don't have a good appetite, go down and help the fourth master."

Qing Chan also pretended to leave after speaking, Guan Ziyang counted almost 40 years of experience before and after his rebirth, and his heart was like a mirror.

Guan Ziyang grabbed Qing Chan and said: "You have to eat seasickness, besides, have I allowed you to do those jobs? You are not allowed to do other jobs except take care of me, do you hear me?"

Qing Chan was helpless: "I know Xiao Lang-jun loves me, but..."

"But what's the matter, sit down and have a good meal." Guan Ziyang grabbed Qing Chan, pushed her onto the stool and sat down.

Then he said to Wei Yi: "Miss Wei, it's inconvenient for men and women to share the same room, why don't you take it back to your room to eat."

Wei Yiqing's face darkened: "Okay, don't bother Junior Brother and Sister Qingchan anymore."

He didn't eat the meal, turned around and left.

Qing Chan wanted to keep her, but Guan Ziyang held her back.

"let her go."

Qing Chan broke free and grabbed her hand, angrily said: "Mr. Xiao, if you are like this, Miss Wei will misunderstand us. Although I am a maid, we have always followed the etiquette."

Guan Ziyang picked up a small piece of steamed cake and stuffed it into Qingchan's small cherry mouth, seeing her anxious look, he laughed and said, "Just to make her misunderstand!"

After Qingchan heard this, she immediately lowered her head shyly, and whispered softly: "Little Lang, you treat Qingchan very well, in fact, even if you marry Miss Wei, I won't complain, I'm just a servant ..."

Guan Ziyang gently caressed Qing Chan's hands that were a little vicissitudes due to toil.

Said: "Sister Qingchan, don't say that you are a servant in the future, you are the closest person to me, Guan Ziyang, and we are a family."

The corners of Qing Chan's mouth raised uncontrollably, she was overjoyed to see her young master being so affectionate and righteous.

As if uncontrollable, he turned his head slightly and leaned against Guan Ziyang's arms.

The atmosphere is here, and it should have continued to develop.

Guan Ziyang let out a curse: "Damn "Baopuzi", I will burn you sooner or later, so the dog will practice your crap again..."

Qing Chan smiled after hearing this, and then hugged him even tighter, not afraid of accidents anyway.

"God, please, just give me the golden finger of 'one breath and three cleanses'!"

"This non-feminine setting before sanctification will kill people!"

In the next room, Wei Yiqing, who was lying on the wall and eavesdropping, was worried for a while: "What happened to the "Baopuzi" practiced by the younger brother? Has it become a 'useless person'?"

Then he felt relieved: "No wonder he doesn't want to marry me. It's not that he doesn't like me, he's just afraid of hurting me..."

After making up his mind, he nodded fiercely and clenched his fists to cheer himself on.

"We must help Junior Brother cure his illness!"

……

Early the next morning.

Guan Ziyang and his party packed up their luggage and set off. They spent some money and temporarily sent two old scalpers to this inn. There were four people in the party, and they took two Guan's coachmen and set out on the road lightly.

Then take a boat from Jiangling to Jiankang. If the wind is smooth, you can arrive in three to five days.

Everyone boarded the boat, and when the boatman was untying the rope, a group of sergeants trotted to the side of the pier and shouted: "The prefect has ordered that all boats at the pier are not allowed to leave the shore!"

Then another row of soldiers armed with weapons walked quickly onto the pier and began to search the boats one by one.
