Chapter 1789 : Fading
Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital of Yingtian, the Qinhuai River has once again rejuvenated. For a time, merchants gathered, brothels stood in the waves, and the boats were marching in the waves, making it a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially in the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered thousands of small lights to be set on the Qinhuai River during the Lantern Festival. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there were brilliant lights and golden pavilions, lined up one after another. The boats were marching in the waves, and the sound of oars and lights formed a beautiful scenery that was like a dream, attracting tourists from all over the world.
At this time, the river was flowing gurgling, and countless pleasure boats were surging back and forth in the river. Many tourists were holding small boats. The young ladies at the bows were shaking paper fans, chanting poems and writing poems, or conveying emotions. It was so lively when you came and went. Since Zhu Yuanzhang ordered thousands of small lamps to be set on the Qinhuai River, the lanterns in the Qinhuai River have never been cut off. Although it was sunny, there were still many lanterns floating on the water on the Qinhuai River, swaying with the water waves, with different shapes, either lotus, lotus, or peonies, and more were paper cranes and boats, stimulating each other, dotted with the river. Looking around, the river reflected the pleasure boats, boats, and light shadows intertwined, which was very beautiful!
When the Lu sisters passed through the south of the Yangtze River, they suddenly saw such beautiful scenery. Naturally, they were blindly watching. Xiao Zhenzhen was not interested in these beautiful scenery. She looked more at the two sides of the Qinhuai River. There were golden and pink towers, rows of colorful lights, jade rabbit lamps, gourd lamps, and cat lamps moved with the wind. They took a quick look at the flowers and presented exquisite pictures, which were very beautiful.
There were many pedestrians on the street stopping to watch, and many people reached out to the picture and said that the good ones were talking about it for a day, while the bad ones were shaking their heads and laughing and laughing all the time, which was very lively.
Xiao Yun's family, handsome man and handsome woman, attracted many people to look back and watch. Some bold young men even waved paper fans to ask about their name. What's more, they simply came forward to report themselves. The father was an official in the court and the best official position in the official position one by one, which made the women very proud, and the eyes of Xiao Yun were more proud.
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly, only shaking his head.
"Bad guy, what day is today? Why is the Qinhuai River so lively, even the Lantern Festival is not so lively?" The little princess asked curiously, hugging Xiao Zhenzhen.
In fact, Xiao Yun also felt strange. Not to mention the surging people on the Qinhuai River, there was a festive atmosphere. Compared with New Year's Eve, it was even better. What attracted his attention was that there were countless students around the riverside, wearing Confucian uniforms, shaking paper fans in hand, looking at the riverside with vocals, illuminating the lyrics. This song "Du Mu's "Bai Qinhuai" and Fu Ruojin's "Evening View of Jinling", the sounds of reading fluctuate with each other.
"Damn, what day is today? Why did so many scholars suddenly come here? "
"Scholar——?" Xiao Yun was stunned and then slapped his head: "Oh, why did I forget that the emperor had a courtship and was appointed as an official with the eight-legged essay. Didn't this imperial edict attract countless students? No wonder so many poor people!"
"Sister, are there so many people here? There are more people than Dadu? I didn't expect that Jinling City would be so lively?" Lu Chuchu came to Jiangnan for the first time and happened to encounter the imperial examination. Looking at the crowds everywhere, shaking paper fans, and people were full of people!
Lu Feifei had never seen such a lively scene. When she heard her sister say this, she nodded vigorously and said, "Most people gather all over the world, and there are many people in the world. I thought most of them were the most prosperous and lively places in the world. I didn't expect that in Jinling City, there were more people than in the capital, and they were even more lively and much more beautiful!"
Xiao Yun laughed and said, "That's natural. Most of them are prosperous, but they are less literary than Jinling, so don't you see that there is a little more stinky and poor here?"
The two sisters glared at him and said, "The dog can't spit out ivory! Don't pay attention to him! Chuchu, let's walk forward!"
"Well!" Lu Chuchu nodded vigorously.
"I'm going too!" Xiaodie also cried out. The three of them were about the same age. The first time they saw such a lively scene, their three delicate faces were red with excitement. Lu Feifei said: "Sister Xiaodie, has this Jinling City been so lively all the time?"
Xiaodie has been here a few times and saw that Jinling City is becoming more and more prosperous. He nodded vigorously and said, "Well, since Emperor Zhu Ming ascended the throne here, this Jinling City has become the capital. Jinling City has Chang'an Street, Datong Street, Dashi Street, Dazhong Street, and Sanshan Street 20th Street, crisscrossing and connecting the whole city. Look, that high place is the palace, official office, industry and commerce, residential, warehouse, culture and education. Can there be fewer people in this Jinling City every day?"
The Lu sisters have always lived in the north. Although they have traveled through many places, the north is also gathered in all directions under the rule of the Tartars, but the gentle atmosphere in Jiangnan is missing. Everyone is peaceful and comfortable, walking, stopping to look out, singing a song, or laughing. The lively atmosphere is a kind of satisfaction. This is something that the two sisters have never felt in the north. They looked around for a few glances and sighed: "In the past, my sister and I were in Dadu, and I followed my father to play around. At that time, I felt that Dadu was the most prosperous and lively place in the world. Today! When I arrived at this Jinling City, I realized that the prosperous place in the world is more than Dadu!"
"Haha, then let's go out to have a lot of fun in the future, see the prosperity of Jinling City, and give you more beautiful memories!" Xiao Yun came up at some point and said with a smile.
Today he wore a white Confucian uniform, two white Confucian belts flew with the wind, and the purple jade on his waist moved as he walked, emitting a dark halo, and with his signature smile, it was indescribable to be charming.
Lu Feifei, Lu Chuchu glanced at him quickly, her face turned red, and Xiaodie looked fascinated. As if she saw a delicious meatball, she stuck out her tongue and licked her scarlet red lips. It looked extremely tempting.
"Who wants to be with you-?" Before Lu Chuchu could speak, he suddenly heard a shout of something in the crowd. In the crowd that was originally calm, there was a sudden surge, and hundreds of people rushed forward. Xiao Yun and the other four were standing in the crowd. When they saw the crazy crowd, Xiaodie, Lu Feifei, Lu Chuchu was so scared that she was blew away. Xiaodie, Lu Feifei saw the opportunity quickly, and her body flashed behind Xiao Yun. It seemed that Lu Chuchu had seen such a scene for the first time, and she didn't know what to do. When the crowd rushed over, she screamed and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. I don't know if it was scared or because of nervousness, she staggered and threw her body forward. She was about to fall to the ground. This fall was bound to be trampled to death by the surging crowd. Xiaodie, Lu Feifei was so scared that she was disgraced and shouted in unison: "Sister Chuchu, Chuchu!"
