Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 353 A Glance at the Qinhuai River
When Su Chen came out of the palace, his back was sweating a lot. Just now in the palace, Zhou Ehuang's eyes were staring at him and Zhou Jiamin, making him feel a little bit adulterous.

That was a 14-year-old girl, and she had been seduced by herself, making her fascinated by her talent and charm, and secretly determined her life.

This kind of emotion has a purpose, so Su Chen felt a little guilty.

Being watched by the wise Zhou Ehuang, she clearly felt that she was questioning.

Fortunately, Su Chen responded fluently, behaved decently, was a good-looking talent, and had excellent medical skills. He not only saved the Empress' life, but also was a fan of his poems and dramas. That's why the Empress Dowager reluctantly acquiesced and did not explode on the spot. Play mandarin ducks.

However, because of the special status of the Zhou family, Zhou Zong's title was very high. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, he served as Shangshu Zuopushe, his servant, Tongping Zhangshi, Zhenrunzhou, and Ningguo Jiedushi. , the status is extraordinary.In addition, the eldest daughter, Zhou Ehuang, is the current empress of the Tang Dynasty, and her mother respects the world. The second girl, Zhou Jiamin, naturally has a noble status, which is not comparable to that of the daughters of ordinary wealthy families.

Therefore, when Su Chen had a fiancée, he flirted with Zhou Jiamin. As his elder sister, Zhou Ehuang, she was really uncomfortable and had a little prejudice against him. As for the title, it will be a few years before he can consider his marriage with his sister. He can't be a concubine, and he can't come in late, otherwise, he will feel that his sister is at a disadvantage.

Su Chen avoided this headache for the time being, left the palace by car, and drove on the bustling streets of Jinling City.

Peng's Mansion is in the southwest area of ​​Jinling City, while the commercial area of ​​Qinhuai River is in the southeast. The carriage passed the Zhusi Yamen, and before reaching the Zhenhuai Bridge, Su Chen stopped Bailang and told him to drive left and pass through the Silk Road. City, Guozijian, came to the Changle Bridge area.

This is the commercial area of ​​the Qinhuai River. There are many brothels along the river. Many shops and foot vendors are operating on the streets on both sides of the river, shouting and selling.

Some merchant ships unload here, including pearls and agates from Fanbang in the Western Regions, spices and jades, ivory lupines, strange and strange arrivals, melons and fruits from Lingnan, animal skins from Khitan, and rare things from the Northwest. Next, some ships came from Runzhou City.

In the river water, there are quite a few exquisite painted boats. They dragged slowly back and forth on the river surface. From inside the painted boats, one could hear the sound of qin, flute and orchestra, as well as the singing voices of Qingguan people.

".The soul of the country is gloomy, chasing the thoughts of the journey, except every night, and the good dreams keep people sleeping. The bright moon tower sits and leans alone, and the wine enters the heart of sorrow, turning into tears of lovesickness and tears of lovesickness!"

Someone was singing "Su Mu Zhe" written by Su Chen in the Xu Mansion in Runzhou. After hearing this, Su Chen smiled lightly.

Many Song lyrics have been exposed in advance. If these ancient people knew about it, would they climb out and form a group to scare him!
Su Chen stood at the head of the bridge, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, watching the Qinhuai River flowing gently and heading eastward. This river has existed for thousands of years, making Jinling, an ancient city, full of literati atmosphere.

Since the Six Dynasties, it has been a place where prominent families lived together, merchants gathered, literati gathered, Confucianism flourished, and it was known as the "Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties".

At present, there is no Confucius Temple here, because the Confucius Temple was expanded from the Eastern Jin Academy in the first year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1034). It is also called the Confucius Temple because it worships Confucius.

In the third year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (337), the imperial court established the Taixue Palace on the south bank of the Qinhuai River according to the proposal of the founding father of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dao, that "governing the country should focus on cultivating talents".At that time, there was only a school palace, and no Confucian temple was built.

As for the Confucian Temple, Xuegong, and Gongyuan in Jinling City in later generations, as well as the scenery of Zhaobi, Panchi, Archway, Juxing Pavilion, and Kuixing Pavilion, they were all rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"Guozijian is on the north bank, Taixue is on the south bank, and it's close to Wuyi Lane." Standing on the high point of the arch bridge, Su Chen looked towards the south bank of the Qinhuai River, comprehended it, and made a precise judgment.

The land he plans to buy is on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, because the place on the other side of the pontoon bridge is far away from the government offices in the west and the arsenal and Duzuo courtyard in the east. On the south bank of the river, there is Niaoyi Lane, Taixue, and the mansions of some court officials. The land is very expensive. On the contrary, the north bank of the river has not yet flourished, and the land is easy to buy.

Jing Yun came over and said with a smile: "Master Su, are you going to visit the brothel? It's okay, you don't have to just look at it like this, thinking about it day and night, just go if you want, I will never tell Sister Qingqing about it when I go back!"

Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was thinking about developing his entertainment career, and the children thought he was yearning for a brothel.

"Let's go, what did you think, is your son so yearning for brothels!"

"My lord, I really won't tell sister Qingqing!" Jing Yun was more honest, he thought it was Su Chen who was still testing his loyalty.

"..." Su Chen couldn't explain clearly, so he turned around and went back to the car; he had roughly seen the terrain that should be seen, it was getting late, and it was almost dusk, so he went back home.

When they arrived at Peng's mansion, the carriage entered the courtyard. Peng Qingqing, who was waiting in the front hall, saw Su Chen coming back, and went to the courtyard with a resentful face to question him.

"Why did you come back? You go out for a whole day and don't take me with you. It's too shameful."

Su Chen explained: "Didn't I go outside the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the morning, take Liu Dong, Jiang Tao and others to Fengming Tower for a drink, hold a banquet for them to shock them, and then go to the palace in the afternoon to visit the second prince and queen's condition, but Did not go out to play alone."

"That's it?" Peng Qingqing was a little suspicious.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Jing Yun!" Su Chen found witnesses to prove his innocence.

Peng Qingqing glared at the 14-year-old boy and asked, "Jing Yun, tell me!"

Jing Yun nodded abruptly and said: "My son, I really didn't go to the brothel!"

"The brothel?" Peng Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then turned her head, stared at Su Chen and said, "That's fine, why is he mentioning the brothel? Say, did you go to the brothel, and then let him keep it a secret without telling it."

"..." Su Chen was a little speechless, what a mess of answers and analysis!

"It's absolutely nothing, don't listen to the child's nonsense. After coming out of the palace, we just stopped at the Changle Bridge area for a while. I stopped and watched the landscape on both sides of the Qinhuai River. I planned to choose a location, build a restaurant, and gather for meals. , entertainment, bathing, sauna, Pai Gow, grocery sales, etc.; I have thought of the name in advance, and it is called "Spring Breeze Yixiao Building", which is taken from Meng Jiao's poem "Dengke": "The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all of Chang'an in one day. "Flower" has the meaning of being proud of the spring breeze!" Su Chen patiently explained.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Peng Qingqing actually didn't believe that Su Chen would visit brothels, because his talent and character had attracted too many beauties to admire him, but he always maintained the courtesy of a gentleman without any overstepping. Take advantage of women.Therefore, you should definitely not be interested in the vulgar fans of brothels.

Su Chen saw that Peng Qingqing was holding a few invitation cards with one hand behind his back, so he asked curiously, "What kind of invitation cards are you holding in your hand?"

At this moment, Peng Qingqing waved the post in front of him with his left hand, and said with a smile: "It's some Jinling dignitaries and scholars who want to hold a poetry meeting on the night of the Qiqiao Festival. This is an invitation letter sent by them. I plan to invite you to the poetry meeting!"
