On the carriage heading to the dock, Liu Mubai sat alone, looking at the carriage in front of him through the window, his face was gloomy.
Sun Mo was sitting in it at this time, riding with An Xinhui.
If the Deer Tail Banquet wasn't so important and a great opportunity to get to know the upper echelons of Jinling, Liu Mubai really wouldn't want to come.
In fact, a carriage can accommodate five people, but An Xinhui would rather leave the seat empty and arrange a new carriage for Liu Mubai alone instead of inviting him to join her. This is enough to show that she is avoiding suspicion.
"But I won't give up, Sun Mo. As long as you are not married, there is no telling who will win!"
Liu Mubai clenched his fists, hoping that during the two-star famous teacher assessment, Han Zisheng could meet Sun Mo's direct students, and then he could directly defeat them and put an end to Sun Mo's dream of becoming a star.
"I have been preparing for three years before I dare to achieve the feat of three stars in one year. You, a new graduate, want to do this. You are simply looking down on the world's heroes!"
Liu Mubai felt unhappy, but after muttering, he quickly warned himself not to be so narrow-minded.
Recently, because of An Hui's relationship, Liu Mubai has become less and less calm, and has completely lost the open-minded demeanor of a famous teacher.
In the last carriage, there were Li Ziqi, Lu Zhiruo, Ying Baiwu, and in addition, Gu Xiuxun's direct student Zhang Yanzong and Liu Mubai's Han Zisheng.
Compared with Zhang Yanzong, who was tall and powerful, Han Zisheng was more like a weak scholar with his hand-held folding fan, but anyone who underestimated him would definitely suffer a big loss.
You must know that this is the chief of the second grade, and he is very powerful.
Facing Ying Baiwu's hostile gaze, Han Zisheng kept a smile on his lips.
"Sister, I don't know why, but when I saw his face, I just wanted to punch him!"
Lu Zhiruo was confused.
"Eh? You feel this way too?"
Li Ziqi was surprised. You must know that Papaya Girl has always been kind-hearted and a good girl who never causes trouble.
"Fortunately Xuanyuan Po didn't come, otherwise there would definitely be a fight."
Papaya Mother was still frightened. Xuanyuan Po was the teacher’s trump card. What if he got injured and affected the two-star assessment?
"I think a fight is about to start now!"
Li Ziqi persuaded in a low voice: "Baiwu, don't be impulsive!"
"I will not!"
Ying Baiwu can feel the confidence and momentum in Han Zisheng. This is a strong enemy, so in order for the teacher to become the best in Zhongzhou, he must work harder.
Waiting for Xuanyuan Po to take action?
Sorry, a stubborn girl never relies on others.
"Ying Baiwu, you are too arrogant like this, aren't you?"
Zhang Yanzong, who was treated as a little transparent, was speechless.
"What? You want a fight?"
Ying Baiwu asked back.
"..."
Zhang Yanzong was speechless, there was no way to continue the conversation that day, but in his heart, he preferred Ying Baiwu's character of defying the sky, the earth, and the air.
Linjiangfang is not a building, but a five-story painting boat. It is the most expensive and gorgeous boat in Jinling.
Taking the Linjiangfang for a night tour of the Qinhuai River, listening to famous music, enjoying dances, reciting poems and composing poems, these are the things that high-ranking officials like to do most.
Only the top dignitaries are entitled to enjoy this boat, and the rich with average assets can only look back and sigh.
It can be said that whoever is qualified to be on Linjiangfang is a member of the top circle in Jinling.
The pier has arrived.
As soon as everyone got off the carriage, a servant from Linjiangfang came up quickly and handed them tea, cakes, and hot towels.
Ying Baiwu was at a loss.
"Just follow me."
Li Ziqi was very calm, because she had seen scenes dozens of times greater than this.
"Aren't these people afraid of admitting the wrong person?"
Ying Baiwu’s doubts.
"You're right. This pier is unique to Linjiangfang. Others are prohibited from using it. And I don't know how many big shots are coming today, so there are already officers and soldiers standing guard all around. Don't even think of a mouse sneaking over."
Han Zisheng explained.
"Officers and soldiers?"
Ying Baiwu looked up, but saw no one.
"Don't look around, you can't see anyone."
Han Zisheng chuckled. The big shots were having fun. If they saw officers, soldiers and civilians wandering around, wouldn't it spoil their fun? So those people stayed far away.
Li Ziqi leaned close to Ying Baiwu's ear and explained a few words in a low voice.
"How much does this cost? How much manpower is wasted?"
Ying Baiwu was stunned. Everyone knew that the larger the scope of protection, the more soldiers were needed. If this was official business, it would be fine, but this was a time for big shots to have fun, so they actually had to dispatch so many soldiers and horses?
"Your attention is so superfluous!"
Han Zisheng smacked his lips.
"Why are they redundant? Aren't these soldiers and horses supported by the people? Is it because the Tang government paid them money just to let them protect the important people here to eat, drink and have fun?"
Ying Baiwu did not ridicule Han Zisheng, but discussed the problem seriously.
"The Deer Tail Banquet is a normal banquet!"
Han Zisheng argued.
"Come on, don't tell me. These soldiers and horses are not usually deployed. It's not like you don't know where Linjiangfang is?"
Ying Baiwu felt her heart ached. She used to earn very little money from selling money, but she still had to pay taxes. She didn't expect that it would all be spent on something like this.
"Okay, don't discuss this issue anymore!"
Li Ziqi was very embarrassed. After all, she was the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
As the top amusement park in Linjiangfang, the service is no longer simple, it is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After simply washing up and eating snacks, trained servants immediately led everyone into the boat, and then sailed to the cruise ship on the river.
"cheer up!"
Li Ziqi advised Ying Baiwu, look at Papaya Girl, she is so heartless, how easy her life is!
After everyone got on the cruise ship, servants immediately came to greet them and took Sun Mo and others to the rest room.
"Sun Mo, Master Liu, you can just take a look or rest."
An Xinhui explained.
Here, the lounges for male guests and female guests are separate. After all, some nobles don't want to be seen.
An Xinhui has her social circle, which she must carefully maintain.
"Um!"
Sun Mo nodded casually, and then looked into the distance. There were cruise ships floating on the river, lights were dotted, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard. It was a unique scene.
Liu Mubai was disappointed when he heard An Xinhui calling Sun Mo's name instead of calling him Master Liu, which was obviously a polite name.
"Sun Mo, let me help you promote Hand of God!"
Gu Xiuxun is going to be with An Xinhui.
"Ziqi, are you three coming?"
An Anhui looked at the small purse.
"No, I want to be with the teacher!"
Li Ziqi shook his head.
This is the difference in status. Ying Baiwu and Papaya Niang are not even qualified to visit those big shots, but Li Ziqi does not need to visit others, but needs others to pay their respects.
"Dignified guests, please come this way!"
Servants lead the way.
Soon, everyone was ushered into a large cabin, where there were toys, chess equipment, and things like hut and mahjong.
Ying Baiwu sniffed her nose.
In the cabin, precious incense is burning, which can calm people's nerves and refresh their minds.
"Guys, what kind of snacks would you like? Juice or tea?"
the servant asked.
"Just some of the four-color pastries, and a pot of Longjing!"
Sun Mo didn't need to answer at all, Li Ziqi was like a little housekeeper, keeping everything in order.
Seeing this scene, Liu Mubai was very envious.
You know, it is almost impossible to find a maid who is so beautiful, so well-educated, and knows how to treat people and drink tea.
Either they are survivors after their homes were confiscated and their clans were exterminated, or they were kicked out of their homes after committing crimes. Even so, it is very expensive.
Therefore, wealthy and aristocratic families buy little girls and raise them themselves, which costs a lot of effort and money.
Of course, what makes Liu Mubai jealous the most is Li Ziqi's identity.
The majestic Princess of the Tang Dynasty was busy serving Sun Mo like a maid, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable. This life was too enjoyable, wasn't it?
But Sun Mo really dared to use it!
Liu Mubai felt that if it were him, he would be too frightened to bother Li Ziqi.
Sun Mo took a few glances at the scenery and lost interest. He sat by the window, drinking tea and pondering the damaged spiritual patterns on Jiang Leng's body.
Papaya Girl looked back and forth curiously. After a while, she had seen enough of the scenery here and began to feel restless.
"teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo blinked her big black and white eyes, like a kitten waiting for food, and looked at Sun Mo pitifully.
"You can go out to play if you want, but you need someone to accompany you!"
Sun Mo smiled. Although he knew nothing would happen on the cruise ship, he still erred on the side of caution.
"Sister!"
Papaya Girl immediately took Li Ziqi's hand and shook it gently.
"But I have to take care of the teacher!"
Li Ziqi frowned slightly.
Hearing this, Liu Mubai felt a sour stomachache.
"Go ahead. Besides, if I have something to do, I can call the servant!"
Sun Mo looked at Ying Baiwu and said, "Take her with you!"
The three girls left. Zhang Yanzong wanted to follow them, but was embarrassed.
"Master Sun, I have a few friends I know, please leave for a while!"
Liu Mubai really didn't want to stay with Sun Mo, so he found an excuse and left.
Sun Mo didn't care and started to close his eyes to rest.
…
Li Ziqi and three others ran from the bow to the stern, and then from the stern to the cabin, having a great time.
It has to be said that Linjiangfang is indeed a top-notch painting boat with impeccable service. They saw that Li Ziqi and the others were wearing school uniforms and knew that their status was not high, but they still did not stop them, but just gave them a subtle reminder not to
Disturbing guests.
Of course, some important cabins have servants waiting outside, so there is no reason for Ying Baiwu to worry about making the wrong move and offending others.
"What do famous paintings look like? I haven't seen them yet, let's take a look?"
A pleading voice suddenly floated over, causing Lu Zhiruo's little crystal ears to prick up.
"Famous paintings?"
Papaya Girl quickly called to Li Ziqi: "Senior Sister, come here quickly."
The three girls followed the sound and quickly found a cabin. Looking at the decoration and location, Li Ziqi knew that it was for the servants of VIPs.
When they entered the door, sure enough, there were more than a dozen servants aged fifteen or six, all surrounding a fifteen-year-old maid.
The maid held a rectangular wooden box in her arms, her face full of embarrassment and helplessness.
"Just take a look and you won't lose a piece of meat?"
"How stingy!"
"It must be a fake famous painting!"
The servants were all talking and jostling the maid.
"My master spent a lot of money to buy this famous painting. It is absolutely real!"
The maid argued, but she refused to show it to others. After all, it was broken and her life was lost.
"Famous paintings!"
Lu Zhiruo was curious and stood on tiptoes to look into the crowd.
When Li Ziqi heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Papaya Girl. Didn't you know that when you disappeared, the teacher actually painted a famous painting to find you?
Thinking of this incident, Li Ziqi was still a little jealous.
"Oh, famous paintings are very valuable, please don't embarrass her!"
Although Papaya Girl wanted to see it, she still helped and said something fair.
Whoosh!
Everyone's eyes immediately stared over.
call out!
Lu Zhiruo immediately hid behind Li Ziqi very quickly. She thought for a moment that the small pouch should not be hit, so she moved behind Ying Baiwu.
"Where are the famous paintings?"
Just as everyone was chattering, another young man in brocade clothes walked in. He was about eleven or two years old. He looked around with curiosity. When he saw the maid holding the wooden box, he immediately came over.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing someone refusing to give way, the young man pushed him directly.
The servants were also discerning. Looking at the expensive clothes on the young man, it was obvious that he was a person of high status. They did not dare to offend him and got out of the way obediently.
"What famous painting is it?"
The young man asked as he snatched the wooden box from the maid's hand.
The maid immediately called the police to the wooden box.
"Let go, otherwise it will break and you will be in misery. Even if you are not beaten to death, you will be sold."
Teenage threats.
The maid was startled, and then she screamed again.
"This kid is so annoying!"
Papaya girl curled her lips, she saw the young man in brocade clothes pinched the maid hard and asked her to let go.
"Give it back to me!"
The maids were all crying.
"Don't make any noise, I'm Li Feng!"
After the young man finished speaking, the noisy cabin immediately became quiet, and the servants became much more respectful.
Li Feng, the youngest son of Prince Li Zixing, was able to give birth to a son at the age of sixty. In the eyes of the elderly, this was a good omen and a symbol of longevity, so Li Zixing doted on this son.
This kind of person, let alone ordinary people, many noble children cannot afford to offend him.
"Go, bring the table over!"
Li Feng ordered, and then looked at the little maid: "Stop crying, I will give it to you after reading it, or I will tear it up now."
"Then look quickly!"
The little maid was helpless, with a look of panic on her face.
Soon, the round table was carried over by four servants. Li Feng opened the wooden box, took out the scroll, then opened it and spread it on the table.
"dirty!"
The little maid felt distressed, but Li Feng didn't care at all. He groped his chin with a look of disdain: "That's it? Why can't I feel its subtlety?"
"Ignorant and ignorant!"
Li Ziqi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This Li Feng is really bad. You have to know that only paintings with wonderful brushwork can be called famous paintings. Once this kind of painting is opened, the artistic conception it brings will make people intoxicated.
How bad does Li Feng's appreciation level have to be that he can't even understand this?
"This is not a famous painting, you are lying!"
Li Feng pointed to a servant and said, "Tell me, do you think this is a famous painting?"
The servant thought it was, but this was the young prince's problem. How could he dare to say no, so he shook his head.
Li Feng clicked on several people and got this answer.
"Look, I was right, right?"
Li Feng teased.
"This is definitely a famous painting, but you don't know how to appreciate it!"
The little maid was filled with indignation: "You have all seen it, please return it to me quickly!"
"Who do you think doesn't understand appreciation?"
Li Feng's face turned dark, then he rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his foot and stretched it to the feet of the little maid.
The little maid was busy trying to get the famous painting back, but she didn't pay attention to her steps. As a result, she tripped, stumbled, and hit the table.
boom!
The table shook violently, causing a teacup to overturn and the tea to spill out, soaking the famous painting.
