Chapter 562: What level, the same bounty as mine? [Please vote for me!]
Night, full moon.
On a large river at the junction of the two states, north of Hongzhou and south of Jiangzhou.
On the wide river surface, dozens of boats, large and small, were sailing slowly.
The water in this section of the Yangtze River is relatively clear, and is far less turbid than the water near the mouth of the sea in Jinling and other places downstream.
The surface of the river sparkled under a bright full moon.
Looking down from a high place, hundreds of boats on the river are traveling together with the rushing river under the moon, as if they are motionless.
It solidified into a rather spectacular picture.
If someone is here, he has to chant:
The river and the sky were all colorless, and there was only a solitary moon in the bright sky.
Boats traveling on this waterway at the junction of the two states come and go, and it is crowded and lively. There are all kinds of passenger ships, tankers, merchant ships, and cargo ships.
There are even some luxurious boats of dignitaries and high-end brothels floating along the riverside in coastal states and counties.
However, the two prefectures of Hong and Jiang are currently close to the front line. The most numerous people on the river are passenger ships heading east to seek refuge, and cargo ships and tankers silently heading west to transport supplies.
On both sides of the boat flow, several official ships lit with torches and loaded with soldiers and armor passed by from time to time, quietly escorting the grain and grass channel.
However, there are too many ships on the river, and official ships cannot supervise them one by one. Therefore, only the tankers and cargo ships that escort logistics grain and important materials are closely followed.
As for the passenger ships, merchant ships, and sailing boats, most of them were ignored, as long as they did not get close to the logistics fleet traveling in the center of the river.
At this moment, on the river not far from the shore, there was an ordinary and huge merchant ship, moored quietly, with bright lights and the flag of a well-known business name in the south of the Yangtze River - Taoshou Zhai.
A business that sells precious herbs, as well as exquisite pastries and fruits.
This Taoshouzhai merchant ship did not attract the attention of passing ships on the surrounding river.
From sunset to the moon above the branches, from time to time, some lonely small boats would come and park next to the merchant ships. After putting down people, they would quickly drive away.
Some of these small boats came from the prefectures and counties on the coast, and some came from some passenger ships on the river rushing south.
Those who boarded the deck included bearded guests, begging monks, wives of merchants, Taoist priests with blue scarves, and lazy scholars who drifted in drunkenly in the boat and staggered ashore, so feminine that they did not know whether they were men or women...
This special group of guests stayed on the ship for a period of time, some left early and some stayed longer.
When those who left came out, they were all carrying large and small bags of herbs. The proprietress personally sent them off the boat politely. She quietly watched the guests leave on the deck, then turned around and glanced at the group of painted boats not far away.
Boat.
As soon as night falls, in the prefectures and counties along the river, there are boats and boats from brothels and taverns sailing to have fun.
They are not far from the temporarily anchored Taoshouzhai merchant ship.
These boat rides were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, emitting the melodious sounds of silk and bamboo orchestras, among which the cheerful laughter of wealthy businessmen and the soft singing of dancing girls and singers were heard from time to time.
At this moment, in the night beside the river, a melodious and clear sound of the piano was heard.
There was a faint accompaniment of a clear and clear voice singing in the boat:
"The Yue girl picks lotus flowers by the autumn water... her narrow sleeves are light and her sleeves are exposed, revealing her golden necklace... she picks flowers in the shadow and looks like her face... her heart is in turmoil.
"It's a stormy night on the beach at Euchi... The fog is thick and the smoke is light, and I can't see the company I came with... The faint singing is returning to the distance... The sadness of separation leads to the south bank of the river."
A poem about butterfly love and flowers.
It seems to have suddenly become popular recently. I heard that it came from a wanted notice from a certain government. They wanted a certain number one rebel who had only left a clue about this word, nicknamed the Master of Dielianhua.
But what people didn't expect was that the person was not caught, but instead this very literary song "Die Lian" became popular.
It was deeply loved by the prostitutes in brothels and taverns, and it became popular in romantic venues by arranging, playing and singing.
There are even many singers and dancers who feel sorry for this talented owner of Dielianhua, and their sympathy is overflowing...
As for his status as a wanted criminal in the court...well, I can only say that women's brain circuits are different from men's, and they have a set of perceptual logic.
At this moment, on the river, under the sound of piano music and singing in the night, there was a bit of silence on and off the Taoshouzhai merchant ship.
The people who were having fun in the boat and the singer who loved to sing about butterflies and flowers did not know this and were still immersed in the leisurely atmosphere of the romantic place.
Until, in a private room on the boat where guests had just been seated, a little girl suddenly ran out.
With two clear noses hanging down, she took a breath and trotted on her short legs to the center of the lively singing hall of Huafang.
As if she felt that she was too short, she moved a stool and climbed onto the table.
This confusing operation, and the location in the center of the hall, immediately attracted suspicious and strange glances from everyone in the audience, including the little girl who was playing the piano and singing. They all paused and turned their heads to look.
But they saw this little loli with a snotty nose standing on the table with her little hands behind her back, saying to them in a sweet voice:
"My husband said, sisters, don't sing this song anymore. The government officials are looking for the guy who wrote this song. If you keep singing it, if word spreads, you will be arrested and interrogated tomorrow."
The originally noisy hall suddenly became silent. The wealthy guests who had been laughing and joking before fell silent. Even the singer who was the first to sing this word turned pale with fright.
After Mr. Zha's little Loli paused to catch her breath, she quickly wiped her nose to clear away the mucus, and then continued to put her two little hands behind her back, like a grown-up.
As if she was endorsing something in front of her husband every day, she said in a soft voice:
"My husband said that he didn't mean to disturb everyone's interest. He really couldn't bear to see this group of imperial rebels, and the one who left a poem and had several portraits, called the Master of Dielianhua, destroyed the statues of saints and Buddhas. , he is a treasonous person who only goes against the saints and the imperial court. He is really a bold guy."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Yes Yes Yes."
The high-roller, the singer, and the old madam who had led the strong slave thugs into the door to drive them away changed their expressions when they heard this, and quickly stopped the car... They all nodded in agreement.
The little Lolita who was in charge finished reading her husband's lines, turned her head and looked in the direction of the box. Seeing that there was no other movement, she took out a heavy little purse, poured the gold beans and silver grains inside and sprinkled them on the table.
While everyone was staring blankly at the gold and silver jumping beans bouncing on the table at Little Lolita's feet, she tilted her head and said:
"Here, sir, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's interest. She paid for the drinks and meals tonight.
"I really hate those rebel thieves so much that I can't help but complain... In this declining world, singing unconventional anti-thief songs in public can easily make little kids like me learn bad things, and I won't tolerate it, sir."
"It's so embarrassing. You guys go on and stop singing. Oh no, and that big sister who plays the piano, stop playing too."
After explaining these, Mr. Zha's little loli jumped off the table, leaving the gold and silver beans behind, and trotted back to a certain box under the surprised and astonished eyes of everyone.
There seemed to be a gentle white figure standing up to pick her up in the box.
"Dingle bell--" There was also a faint sound of a clear bell.
In the hall, the old madam hurried forward, picking up the gold and silver beans, smiling broadly, and praising her: "This little lady is really knowledgeable and reasonable. She looks like the kind of gentleman who understands justice and hates evil as much as she hates evil."
…”
"Yes, yes, sir, the wind is as high as the mountains and the rivers are long..." Everyone agreed.
The lively atmosphere in the boat was restored again, but the sound of the piano and a certain Die Lianhua song were missing.
After the old madam took care of the hall, she was about to run to toast the gentleman with a profound sense of justice, but was told by the maid that the master and apprentice had not stayed for a moment longer, and had already left the boat and sailed away.
The old madam was startled, then turned to look outside at the night, and saw what seemed to be a small boat slowly moving away on the river.
It seemed to be the silent merchant ship sailing not far away with the Taoshou Zhai flag.
There are two figures on the boat, one large and one small, with white backs.
One is short, that is the little girl with a runny nose, the other is dressed in white, gentle and tall...
"Sir, do you really want the court to arrest them all when they sing this butterfly love poem?"
"Whether the government will arrest them or not, I don't know, but I can be sure. If you continue to sing, your master's aunt will come out and throw them all together with the boat."
"Master's aunt is so disgusting!"
On the small boat that had just left the boat, Mr. Zha's little loli immediately jumped up and spoke in a respectful tone.
The gentle female gentleman in white clothes next to her held down her head and said helplessly:
"Stop talking a few words later, don't flatter me and hit the horse's leg again. Be careful, she will lift you up and throw you into the river, just like last time."
Mr. Zha's little Loli face looked confused: "Didn't Master Auntie teach me how to fly last time? She asked me to 'say it again' as a reward. How could I be angry?"
"As a reward, just fly and don't care about landing, right?"
Yunmeng Jianze's second daughter, Yu Nianyuan, who had appeared a month ago in the sound of the piano at Xingzifang in Xunyang City, chuckled and shook her head.
"Don't fall into the water and get cold again."
She took out a white handkerchief and wiped the snot from the little loli's nose.
This little loli was brought out from the wealthy family in Xingzifang where she had previously hidden.
This wealthy family's surname was Li. He had a daughter in his old age. He loved her very much and handed her over to Yu Nianyuan respectfully.
Mr. Zha’s little loli has a single name with the Chinese character “坝”.
Li Shu pointed her finger to her chin again, blinked and asked:
"I understand, sir, but why are you angry? The song "Die Lian Hua" is well written and beautifully sung. If sir hadn't stopped me, I would have liked to lie down on the table and listen to it for a while longer. Today
After walking so much in the city...
"Sir, why doesn't Master Auntie like to listen to this music and lyrics?"
The little girl asked curiously.
Yu Nianyuan said leisurely: "Because she doesn't like the person who left this poem."
"Is it the owner of the Dielianhua who was hanging side by side with the great aunt on the notice on the city wall when we left the city just now?"
"right."
Yu Nianyuan nodded: "In the past, if we met him, your senior aunt would beat him to death."
Li Shu thought thoughtfully: "So the master's aunt liked him before, but doesn't like him now? Could it be that love breeds hatred in the opera?"
"?"
Yu Nianyuan turned his head silently and looked at this new disciple. He didn't ask her why she thought so, and just warned her seriously:
"When you go in later, don't say this. Even Tong Yanwuji, a teacher, can't save you."
Li Shu tugged at the hem of her clothes:
"Sir, didn't you say that the master's aunt wanted to beat him to death in the past? Beating him is kissing, scolding him is loving him. If you look at it this way, doesn't he love you to death?"
Yu Nianyuan was silent.
As they approached the merchant ship, the wind in the river was quite strong, and the small boat the two of them were in was swaying in the wind.
The little loli hurriedly opened her arms and hugged her husband's thigh, buried her face and quietly wiped her nose with the hem of her husband's white clothes. She seemed to be very interested in this new master lady she had met recently, and she raised her head.
, asked out of curiosity:
"Well, sir, Grandmaster's aunt loved him to death before, but what about now? Does Grandmaster's aunt not love him anymore?"
"now……"
The gentle lady in white opened the little head and carefully wiped her nose with a handkerchief.
When she put away the handkerchief, her fingers happened to touch a reward notice in her sleeve, which wanted a certain person who caused the collapse of the Donglin Giant Buddha and was the leader of several officials.
"Now, in your aunt's eyes, it should be... that he loves you to death."
Yu Nianyuan chuckled.
"Ah, sir, what does this mean?"
At this time, the boat stopped and arrived.
Yu Nianyuan glanced at Li Shu who raised his face like a curious baby and asked.
In fact, it's good to be a little confused at a young age. When she was suddenly taken away from home, she didn't cry or make trouble. But occasionally late at night, the little girl would suddenly run over, get into the bed, and hug the fish.
Nian Yuan looked at her waist and asked if her parents didn't want her because she didn't write well...
Yu Nianyuan took the trouble and raised his hand to touch Li Shu's little head, saying gently:
"Let's go, remember what you just said."
Immediately, the gentle female gentleman took Mr. Zha's little loli and boarded the deck with a peaceful expression.
Under the awe-inspiring send-off from the proprietress of Taoshou Zhai, the master and apprentice walked into the cabin hall together...
