Su Mingzhe took Xiaoye's four daughters on a merchant ship and sailed upriver.
Because it was a southeasterly wind coming ashore, the river was rough.
The merchant ships set their sails, and their speed is no less than that of the fast horses on the embankment.
In just three days, the five people had arrived at the Liujing River from Suzhou.
When the merchant ship docked at the dock, it was getting late.
On the Liujing River, many painting boats have started operating.
Regardless of the cold night wind, the young ladies on the boat were wearing silk skirts as thin as cicada wings. They stretched out their green fingers and waved to the passing boats, or smiled softly with their lips covered.
The beauty of the picture made Su Mingzhe very moved when he saw it.
At some point, Xiaoye came to Su Mingzhe and said with a hint of persuasion:
"Sir, would you like to stop one and go up and have a look?"
Because Xiaoye only had part of Ye Qingmei's memory, he could barely be considered a 'traveler'. Seeing such beautiful scenery, his purely playful thoughts took over, and he didn't have any 'dirty thoughts' in his mind.
"Forget it."
Su Mingzhe thought for a while and shook his head gently.
Seeing Xiaoye's puzzled look, he pointed to the river and asked with a smile:
"Do you know what the name of this river is?"
Xiaoye said depressedly: "I have never been to Kyoto, how do I know what this river is called?"
"Sir, I know the name of this river."
After hearing this, Xiaocao next to him quickly raised his hand and replied:
"Sister Xiaoye, this river is called the Liujing River. There is a poem that says: Ten miles of light smoke fills the sky with stars, and the boats are moored and the crystals are all over the sky. I have no sleep at night. Autumn, winter, and spring are not always here, but I am still a drunken stranger in my dreams."
“‘Autumn, winter, and spring are always there when I don’t see them, but I’m still a drunk stranger in my dreams.’ This poem really fits the situation.”
After Su Mingzhe heard this poem, he looked at the young ladies in cool clothes on the boat and couldn't help but nodded: It is true that spring is here all year round.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of finding a painting boat and going on a fun trip.
but……
Su Mingzhe sighed softly and said helplessly:
"It's just the name 'Flowing Crystal River'. It's a bit unseemly."
"Is the name inappropriate?"
The four maids all looked surprised.
Liujing River, what a nice name it is?
What's wrong with this?
Xiaoye is a science and engineering girl who doesn’t understand homophones.
As for Xiao Jin and Xiao Cao, both of whom were palace maids in the Northern Qi and Nan Qing palaces respectively, they did not understand this knowledge even more.
Only Xiaoxue was the daughter of a prison officer. She had studied the Four Books and Five Classics since she was in elementary school, and later lived in the Jiaofang Division. Although she was unwilling to accept guests and was tortured to death, she did understand some things about men and women.
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoxue's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, she lowered her head and spat lightly:
"Sir, why are you so nasty?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Su Mingzhe shrugged innocently and defended:
"The name of this river is inherently ambiguous. How can you blame me for thinking wrongly?"
Xiaoye, Xiaojin and Xiaocao still don't understand what's wrong with the 'Liujing River'.
The three girls all pulled Xiaoxue and kept asking questions.
As a woman, Xiaoxue was not willing to explain the homophonic meaning of "liquid crystal river". She was anxious when asked, so she simply stamped her feet and went back to the cabin to rest.
This night was speechless.
On the next day, the merchant ship went through the formalities at Yousi Yamen.
Su Mingzhe and his four maids also went through the "entry formalities". They took out their own route guide and had it stamped by the Kyoto Yamen, and then they were able to enter the city.
It must be said that the degree of strict identity and household registration checks in ancient times far exceeded the imagination of later generations.
The five people entered the city gate and walked not far before they were blocked by a man wearing a bamboo hat and a black cloak.
"Ada?"
Xiaocao, who was walking in front, was the first to recognize this man. He was the temple envoy Ada sent by Su Mingzhe to Nanqing to 'collect rent'.
"Owner."
Ah Da ignored Xiaocao's greetings and came directly to Su Mingzhe, stood still and bowed:
"Your residence in Kyoto City has been arranged."
"Lead the way."
Su Mingzhe is a man who saves trouble and never looks for trouble.
Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San were all in Kyoto City. If Su Mingzhe needed anything, he would send a message in advance so that they could get it done as early as possible.
Not long after, a few people came to a high-gate courtyard. A stone tablet was erected at the door, with the words "Su Zhai" written on it.
On the plaque above the door, there are three characters written in big words, "Three Provinces Residence".
Three provinces residence are three words written by Su Mingzhe in the bedroom of the museum.
I didn’t expect that Ada would use it here.
Several people came to the door. Ah Er and Ah San received the message and opened the door to greet them.
Su Mingzhe asked Xiaoye, the 'housekeeper', to take over the command of Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San and arrange their residences. After taking a casual look around, he went out again and went to the City Guards Yamen to complete the martial arts registration procedures.
Went.
There are three requirements for obtaining a martial arts examination entry certificate:
First, be under the age of twenty-five.
Second, martial arts cultivation must be above level five.
Third, there are letters of recommendation written by local wealthy families.
Su Mingzhe naturally meets all three conditions.
When I registered the information earlier, everything was fine.
Although when Su Mingzhe said that his martial arts cultivation level was at the ninth level, the other party was a little surprised, but he still registered seriously.
According to the rules, martial arts cultivation of seventh grade and below are tested by several deputy commanders of the city guard who have eighth-grade martial arts cultivation.
As for the martial arts cultivation of the eighth and ninth grades, they need to be tested by Ye Wan, the commander of the City Guards.
Ye Wan, the eldest son of Ye Zhong, the commander of the City Army, and the nephew of the four great masters, Ye Liuyun, has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has reached the ninth level of strength before he was thirty years old. He is said to be the most promising person in Nanqing to break through to the level of a great master.
One of the nine masters.
Su Mingzhe was standing in the martial arts training ground, waiting for Ye Wan to come and test his martial arts skills, when a young lady in red robe jumped out of the hall:
"Boy, considering how young you are, you are bragging. How can you possibly have the strength to reach the ninth level?"
Su Mingzhe was stunned for a moment and recognized this girl. She was Ye Ling'er, the best friend of the heroine Lin Wan'er in the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years". He couldn't help but smile softly and said:
"Girl, won't you know if I am at the ninth level when Commander Ye comes to test me?"
"Bah, I think you're just here to gain fame!"
Although Ye Linger is a girl, she is reckless.
Recently, the martial arts competition is approaching, and many candidates who have come to register for the competition, in order to expand their reputation, have reported their martial arts level high when registering, so as to gain the opportunity to fight against the commander of the city guard.
Because the martial arts exams are to gather talents for the country, even though Ye Wan has a bad temper, he cannot harm these athletes.
After a few days, when Ye Wan returned home, he often complained to his family that he, the commander of the city guard, was almost becoming a "score scorer".
Like Ye Wan, Ye Ling'er was also a martial arts fanatic. As soon as he heard his brother's complaints, he immediately became interested and wanted to take his brother's place and test the strength of Juzi.
As soon as Ye Ling'er arrived today, she heard Su Mingzhe declare that his martial arts cultivation level was at the ninth level, and she naturally became interested.
He saw her fly up with a palm and slam it towards Su Mingzhe's face.
"Is this Liuyun Sanshou?"
Su Mingzhe saw that the palm wind had arrived before anyone arrived, and he couldn't help but nodded.
This Liuyun Sanshou is somewhat similar to the Piping Wind Palm. They are both top-grade real skills that release true energy, are both hard and soft, and combine hardness and softness.
It's a pity that Ye Ling'er's strength is average, barely at level 6 or 7. The palm wind she produced couldn't even lift the corner of Su Mingzhe's clothes.
Therefore, facing Ye Ling'er's palm, Su Mingzhe didn't even think about avoiding it. He just smiled slightly and said:
"Little girl, let Commander Ye come out for a moment."
Ye Ling'er didn't expect that the palm she used to expend 50% of her true energy would be completely ignored. She immediately became angry and stepped forward, changing her palms and continuing to attack.
This time, Ye Ling'er no longer used the 'Flowing Cloud Sanshou' that she had just learned, but instead used the 'Coffin Cracking Palm' that she had already mastered.
Compared with the Liuyun Sanshou, which is both hard and soft, the Coffin Palm is strong and dangerous when opened and closed widely.
With Ye Ling'er's current strength, a palm strike could create a few cracks in a three-inch-thick stone tablet.
Now, Ye Ling'er launched a powerful attack, and almost instantly, her palm slapped Su Mingzhe on the chest:
"Look at the palm!"
"Show mercy!"
A military general in his thirties walked out of the hall. Seeing Ye Ling'er's palm hit Su Mingzhe's chest, he looked horrified and screamed quickly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Su Mingzhe laughed at the general, but he still had no defense at all against Ye Ling'er's palm.
And Ye Ling'er also found that the coffin-cracking palm she struck with all her strength was as if it was hitting cotton, it was soft and there was no sense of force anywhere.
At this time, Ye Linger also realized that there was a huge gap between herself and Su Mingzhe.
However, she wanted to retreat at this time, but it was already too late.
A suction force appeared out of thin air on Su Mingzhe's chest, attracting Ye Ling'er's little hand, making her attempt to pull back her palm become a delusion.
Fortunately, this suction is only temporary.
Ye Ling'er panicked for a moment, and then pulled her palm back hard.
"Thank you, Brother Su, for your noble hand!"
Ye Wan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his little sister was fine.
If my little sister is injured by someone here, I will feel guilty and my mother at home will definitely nag her endlessly.
"It doesn't matter. If you can't even control your true energy, you won't be able to reach the ninth level."
When Su Mingzhe saw the rightful owner appearing, he cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Commander Ye, please enlighten me!"
"Brother Su, please!"
Ye Wan saw that Su Mingzhe was so straightforward and neat. He was also a martial arts fanatic. He was so happy to see Su Mingzhe that he immediately took action and slapped Su Mingzhe head-on.
"What a Liuyun Sanshou!"
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Ye Wan's move.
Unexpectedly, this guy Ye Wan is still a bit petty.
Just now, Ye Ling'er used Liuyun Sanshou, but she didn't even dodge.
Maybe it made this guy Ye Wan angry.
Now Ye Wan's move was exactly the same as Ye Ling'er's move. He was obviously standing up for Ye Ling'er and fighting for his own martial arts Liuyun Sanshou.
Su Mingzhe originally wanted to make Ye Wan angry to death if he continued not to avoid it.
However, I also thought that I was new here, so if I didn't want to get into trouble, it was best to keep a low profile.
With his mind made up, Su Mingzhe waited for the palm wind to come to him, then he gently flipped his palms and directly used the move of "Dou Zhuan Xing Shi Shi", and returned the Liuyun Sanshou hit by Ye Wan.
"What kind of martial arts is this?"
Ye Wan was also startled by the palm wind that Su Mingzhe returned and quickly stopped attacking.
He had also heard from his uncle before that there was a kind of martial arts truth of "four taels can move a thousand catties" and "strengthening with strength".
However, this kind of martial arts truth was just something he could hear, and he had never seen it before.
Today, Su Mingzhe showed off his skills and made Ye Wan stare straight at him.
Su Mingzhe also saw the glint in Ye Wan's eyes, but he just smiled lightly:
"My kung fu is just a little trick to leverage my strength, not worth mentioning."
Ye Wan, like Ye Ling'er, are both martial arts enthusiasts. When they see novel martial arts, they immediately become fascinated:
"Since Brother Su refuses to talk, let's compete again!"
