To be honest, the scenery along the river in ancient times was very boring. It was just trees, mountains and rivers. It was impossible to have any municipal projects. The most common thing was to plant some willows on the flood control embankment so that people could go out for a walk.
If there is anything worth seeing, the scenery that can be called a local scenic spot, the buildings that are majestic in the eyes of ancient people, are just ordinary in the eyes of graceful people, it is difficult to have any feeling of admiration, but the craftsmanship of the craftsmen can be admired.
It's quite rare.
For example, modern Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower and other famous places of historical interest. Ancient people wrote many travel notes and poems after their travels. Nowadays, people think of them as very ordinary monuments. It’s not like they have never seen high-rise buildings. If it weren’t for those famous people who wrote them.
Poetry, only a ghost would pay money to read it.
Ancient people thought that the building was very tall, but to modern people, it may not be as high as their own house. What’s the point of looking at it? If you really like high places, you can just stand on the balcony and look downstairs every day.
The boat stopped and went on the river, and it took a long time to see the so-called beautiful scenery of Xiangjiang. Jiang Shang and Yu Han were very interested, and she was too embarrassed to act too bored, so she forced herself to watch the whole process, drinking.
I felt a lot of cold wind, and my face was numb from the river wind. I deeply felt that I might as well go home and sleep.
After stepping off the boat, I always felt that I had been sitting on the boat for too long. Even standing on the flat ground, I felt as if I was swaying on the boat. When I walked, I felt that my feet were floating, as if I was still swaying on the boat.
Jiang Shang helped her stand there and rest for a while, fearing that she would get seasick.
Just as he was asking her if she wanted to drink some tea, she heard a crisp voice calling, "Cousin?"
Jiang Shang turned his head, and Manmei looked towards the source of the sound a little earlier than him. He found that Jiang Shang frowned unnoticeably before turning back, and then turned back and said, "Yue'er? Are you here too?"
A young woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked towards Jiang Shang. Behind her were a few girls who obviously looked like they were from wealthy families. When they saw Jiang Shang, they all walked towards the dock.
So many official ladies gathered together, and for a while, the pier, especially where Jiang Shang was, was filled with fragrant winds. Graceful, they were not seasick at all, but the various incense blowing on them made them dizzy.
I felt like vomiting immediately.
The woman whom Jiang Shang called Yue'er walked in the front, wearing a small green coat with light yellow flowers on it. She looked very beautiful, with a small oval face and a pair of big almond eyes, which flickered.
Looking at Jiang Shang, the tenderness in his eyes could flow out. He had a double bun on his head, pearl jewelry, and a pearl bracelet on his raised wrist.
It's just that the quality of the clothes is not particularly good, just ordinary silk. The pearls on the head and wrists should be a set, but they are not large pearls and are not expensive. The whole outfit looks like it belongs to a wealthy family.
She is a young lady, but she is not the rich type. At least compared to the young ladies behind her, her clothes and jewelry are not top-notch.
The person who could be called Cousin Jiang Shang would not be a girl from an ordinary family.
Jiang Shang turned around and called his cousin, and found that Manmiao frowned and retched, thinking that she was seasick. He took out a round box the size of a coin from the sachet on his waist, filled with green ointment, and raised it to Manmiao's nose.
Next, the fragrance of mint immediately suppressed the overwhelming feeling in her stomach.
Manmei took the box of ointment unceremoniously and held it under her nose, resisting the complex smell of various incense that constantly drifted down the wind.
Yue'er walked closer and saw Yu Han, and said, "Cousin Han is here too."
Yu Han had a sneer on his lips and replied lukewarmly, "Yeah." He said nothing else and stood aside coldly, looking like he didn't want to get involved.
Manmiao had a good impression of Han. He was a warm-hearted person, otherwise he would not have stood up for the harassed landlady at the inn. His current attitude was obviously a sign of disgust.
As soon as they saw Jiang Shang, those ladies from aristocratic families who thought they were reserved roared and surrounded Jiang Shang, and several of them calmly squeezed Manmiao back.
Manmei moved back very well, keeping herself away from the center of the storm.
I was originally standing on the pier, but if I stepped back any further, I would have to fall into the river.
Yu Han extended a helping hand in time and pulled her to his side. The two of them stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching a group of warblers surrounding Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang is a very gentle nobleman. He has a good temper and is very patient. At present, the families behind these ladies are not what the Jiang family is willing to offend. Jiang Shang talks to them with a smile, and only occasionally looks up.
His impatience can only be discovered with his graceful eyes.
"Shall I take you back first?" Yu Han was very considerate and glanced at the movement on Jiang Shang's side, "I don't think he can leave for a while."
"Okay, I think so." Manmiao is very open-minded about this. Although she will feel uncomfortable in her heart, she is confident that she can adjust it in time. Jiang Shang will not only have one woman in his life, and the responsibilities of the family cannot be arbitrarily controlled by him.
Act recklessly.
But after all, Manmei is a well-known female man in the real society. How can she accept that her husband will still be entangled with other women after marriage?
It doesn't matter what you do before marriage, as long as you can guarantee your loyalty to love and marriage after marriage, but now it seems that it is not easy for Jiang Shang to do it. Even if he has the intention, the situation will not allow it.
Seeing Manmei was about to leave, Jiang Shang's eyes flashed with anxiety.
"Sister, please wait a moment."
Manmiao was about to leave with Yu Han, but was stopped by the person named Yue'er.
Yue'er has never forgotten Jiang Shang's attention to Manmei. Although she has been pushed to the edge without any trace, such small actions cannot completely squeeze this woman out of her cousin's life.
Yue'er had also secretly looked at that woman. She had outstanding appearance and good temperament. She must be the woman born in our family. However, she had met all the ladies in Jiangzuo City and had never seen this woman before.
This woman was not dressed luxuriously, but just looking at the jade earrings on her ears and the jade hairpin on her head, she couldn't help but feel angry.
This set of jewelry, in addition to the graceful hairpin earrings and bracelets, also has necklaces and rings, which is a complete set of jadeite headbands.
Yue'er had seen it in the largest silver building in the Jiang family, and she couldn't put it down at that time. The ladies who were traveling with her all liked it very much, but when they asked about the price, even the internal price was extremely high, so everyone went back angrily.
Their family background means that unless they are buying it as a dowry, their family will not be willing to spend money to buy it, and they must be the legitimate daughter who will marry into a wealthy family, otherwise they will not be treated like this.
