Chapter 98

Shen Changan lifted the corner of the car curtain, looked at the green trees, city walls, lakes and mountains outside the window, and couldn't help sighing, "Yangzhou is really a good place. The scenery I glimpsed the day before yesterday was already shocking. Unexpectedly, I still have to follow the locals. Only then can you appreciate the true beauty of Yangzhou."

Xu Qingxin sat on the side and said with a smile: "Yes, Yangzhou is not as prosperous and lively as Chang'an City, but it has its own unique style. In the eyes of my servants, other places are in every way better, but they are not as beautiful as Yangzhou's lakes and mountains. .”

The little girl's words are full of love for her hometown, and she unabashedly shows the beauty of her hometown to visitors.

While the two were chatting and laughing, the carriage drove steadily towards the Grand Canal. Xu Qingxin strongly recommended Shen Chang'an to visit the Grand Canal. First, the eldest princess could see the prosperity of Yangzhou. Her father Xu Cishi's official career is good; the second side of the Grand Canal is really lively and interesting, much better than other places.

About half an hour later, the noise outside the car became louder and louder.

"Your Highness, it's here."

Shen Changan looked out, and saw that the river was covered with cargo ships, passenger ships, official ships and other boats coming and going, restaurants, teahouses, shops, etc. were lined up along the banks of the river, and pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder on the pier. , an endless stream, really lively.

There are so many people at the pier, the girl's family doesn't come here often, that's why Xu Qingxin often comes here because her parents gave her secret guards to protect her.

Xu Qingxin came here with the intention of taking Shen Changan around for a while, and after the tour, she was going to take her to other places.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changan said to take a look and go to other places later.

In fact, Shen Changan saw a group of strange people, those people were dressed in white, with a lotus mark on their right eye, they looked so fairy-like.

"Who is that?"

Shen Changan lifted the curtain and asked Xu Qingxin.

Xu Qingxin looked out and said to Shen Chang'an, "Your Highness, that's a member of the White Lotus Sect."

"They are all descendants of the White Lotus Sect dressed like this. Whenever large cargo ships and passenger ships go out, they will be invited to pray for blessings."

Xu Qingxin spoke with great interest, "It's strange to say that the ship that has been blessed rarely encounters accidents, but the ship that has not been blessed has many disasters. The most unlucky thing is that it encounters several groups of pirates along the way."

Shen Changan cooperated with her, with a look of eagerness to listen. Seeing that Shen Changan was interested, Xu Qingxin talked more and more.

"Speaking of which, the White Lotus Sect is really miraculous. My grandmother recited the scriptures in front of the White Lotus God for three months, and the White Lotus God appeared, and my grandmother's wish came true."

Xu Qingxin didn't look very happy, "Although grandma doesn't say anything, I know she wants a grandson wholeheartedly. Although she is good to girls like us, it's not as good as brother Yuan."

Xu Yuan is Young Master Xu.

"Even Brother Yuan's biological mother stayed in the mansion as a noble concubine. What does this sound like... A child is closest to his mother. If my grandmother and my father are gone in the future, I will also marry into someone else's house." , if something happens to my mother, Brother Yuan may help her mother to become the old lady of the Xu family!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Qingxin scratched her head in embarrassment, "Your Highness, I will tell you this in private. Don't tell my mother, or she will say that I am open-mouthed again."

There was clarity and stupidity in Xu Qingxin's eyes, Shen Changan laughed dumbfounded, "Okay, okay, I will definitely not tell Madam."

Outside, the blessing of the White Lotus Sect began, and Shen Changan opened a little curtain to look out. Xu Qingxin had seen it many times, but she was not interested in it, so she just slammed the snacks in the carriage.

She couldn't help sighing that Chang'an City is really a good place, even the snacks are better than hers.

I saw the people of the White Lotus Sect outside chanting scriptures that ordinary people could not understand, and several other people solemnly and solemnly followed a specific route. Finally, a white lotus pattern appeared on the forehead of the person who chanted the scriptures, and the blessing was over. .

Even though the onlookers have seen it many times, they will still be shocked by this amazing phenomenon and exclaim one after another.

Without raising her head, Xu Qingxin said, "Your Highness, this is the last step."

"Well," Shen Changan lowered the curtain, signaling the driver to leave.

After they left, the head of the White Lotus Sect greeted the people with a smile, and asked the people around them who was in that carriage.

"Guardian, those are the eldest princess of Dajin, and the fifth girl from the governor's mansion."

The man called Dharma Protector gave a "hmm" and asked his men to go down and stare at Shen Changan's carriage.

Shen Changan was sitting in the carriage, if he felt something, he said to Xu Qingxin, "Have you ever seen a mouse?"

"mouse?"

Xu Qingxin was taken aback, and said, "How did Your Highness mention this? But there are rats in the room?"

Shen Changan shook his head, "Not in the room, but maybe on the street."

"Yeah," Xu Qingxin nodded, "but we don't have any on Yangcheng Street. Rats like dirty and messy environments, and our Yangcheng Street is clean."

Shen Changan smiled and said nothing, Xu Qingxin suddenly wondered, could it be that the eldest princess saw the mouse from somewhere, why didn't she see it?
The carriage stopped at the silver building, and Shen Changan and Xu Qingxin went in together. The two little mice behind ordered two bowls of herbal tea from the small stall on the side of the silver building.

"Boss, we want this pot of mutton soup, and fifty mince pies, so don't look for it."

At the mutton soup stall on one side, Liuli proudly bought a pot of mutton soup for the accompanying guards to eat.

A dozen guards filled the stall, and Xi's boss gave them a few dishes of side dishes.

The owner of the herbal tea said to one of the little mice enviously, "Old man Yang has made a lot of money this time, and that one ingot of silver can buy his stall."

As he said that, he glanced at the two little mice, they are both guests, why don't you throw money at me!

Mouse A: "..."

Mouse B: "..."

Drink tea silently and don't speak.

At this time, a guard came to buy herbal tea, the boss happily went over to greet the guests, half of the tea was sold in a short time, and he got a reward, the boss smiled happily, and gave the guard two plates of cold cake.

Two little mice: why don't you say give us two dishes?

The boss rolled his eyes and left.

The style of jewelry in Yangzhou is different from that in Chang'an City. Many of the jewelry here are made of pearls. The pearls are round and full, and Shen Chang'an can't put it down.

With a wave of your hand, except for the two things you don't like, everything else is covered.

The shopkeeper of Yinlou naturally likes such generous guests, and when he was happy, he even gave a lot of small jewelry.

"Shopkeeper, take out all your newly arrived pearl jewelry."

A delicate voice came from outside the door, Xu Qingxin subconsciously frowned, showing a disgusted expression.

"Huh? Xu Qingxin? Why are you here?"
