Chapter 184 The old dream of a cruise ship(1/2)
He Yan didn't expect that there was still a part between Yang Mingzhi and Xiao Jue. After hearing Lin Shuanghe talk, he thought for a long time.
It is true that what Yang Mingzhi said in the end is too hurtful. But for no reason, how could it be like this? If you don’t help, you don’t help, so why do you have to stab people in the heart like this? Moreover, Yang Mingzhi’s original temperament is not so sarcastic. He Yan thought so, Xiao Jue, who was Yang Mingzhi’s former friend, shouldn’t have thought of this.
He Yan asked: "What about it after that? Did the governor not interact with Lord Yang again? There is no misunderstanding in this?"
Lin Shuanghe shook his head: "After Huaijin led his troops to Guocheng, he rarely returned to Beijing. However, Yang Mingzhi no longer went to school at Xianchang Pavilion shortly after Huaijin left. Originally, with his talent, I thought it would be better to stay in Shuojing for the top scorer in the exam. With his father's relationship and his own abilities, it was not difficult. But since then, he seemed to have disappeared. As a brother, Huaijin's affairs were indeed wrong. I stopped interacting with him later. Therefore, I don't know when the governor of Jinling City became him."
It seems that these brothers are really parting ways now, He Yan thought to himself.
At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside, accompanied by Yan He's impatient urging: "Lin Shuanghe, open the door!"
Lin Shuanghe stood up, walked to the door and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yan He standing at the door. Lin Shuanghe smiled and said, "General Yan, why are you here to find me so late?"
Yan He was about to speak when he saw He Yan in the room in a blink of an eye and said suspiciously: "Why is he in your room?"
"I'll see if there are any ants here." He Yan said: "If so, I'd better drive away Brother Lin."
"Yes, yes," Lin Shuanghe said seriously: "I invited her to drive away the ants. Don't just doubt my relationship with him."
"What a mess," Yan He frowned, "Come on changing clothes and going with us."
"Where are you going?" Lin Shuanghe was puzzled.
Yan He coughed lightly: "I'll ask someone to tell Yang Mingzhi that he will go to the Qinhuai River tonight. He is a local governor. Naturally, he should prepare hospitality for us. You should change your clothes quickly and say to Xiao Huaijin."
No one expected Yan He's behavior, and Lin Shuanghe was stunned. He asked, "...Why do we want to cruise?"
"Who do you want to deceive Yang Mingzhi and Xiao Huaijin?" Yan He said proudly: "It can be seen at a glance. This young master is kind today and is willing to make a bridge for them. Xiao Huaijin will not come to Jinling every day. If you have more time to spend time together, the misunderstanding will naturally be untied." He played with the ends of his ponytails. "I have been running around over the years, and I have learned a lot of people in the world. For example, Xiao Huaijin's unpopular temperament, it is impossible to solve the misunderstanding with Yang Mingzhi. Yang Mingzhi is not very annoying. I am not for Xiao Huaijin, but for Yang Mingzhi."
Seeing that Lin Shuanghe didn't say anything, Yan He raised his chin, "How about it, do you think I'm very generous? Why don't you thank me for your close friend?"
He Yan: "..."
Lin Shuanghe: "...I really thank you."
Yan He is really a talented person. He Yan sighed in his heart that he can always accurately step on Xiao Jue's forbidden territory. No wonder they were inconsistent when they were in Xianchang Pavilion.
"No need to thank you," Yan He said carelessly: "I'll tell Chu Zilan."
"…Wait," Lin Shuanghe asked, "It's fine for Yang Mingzhi, why should I call Chu Zilan?"
"I live here, and I am very stingy after leaving him alone. Besides, people in the officialdom must be more sleek. Can everything be a bit compatible with people like a cockfighting? "Yan He sneered, "Oh, I forgot, if you don't enter the officialdom, you will naturally not know these."
He patted Lin Shuanghe on the shoulder and indeed walked towards Chu Zhao's yard.
Lin Shuanghe and He Yan looked at each other silently, as if they were Yan He. They only pulled two enemies. Yang Mingzhi did not count, and if they added Chu Zhao, Xiao Jue was afraid that he would be angry to death. He might not have followed him at all.
"Sister He," Lin Shuanghe said: "Or...you should go and tell Huaijin."
He Yan: "Together."
This is going to be a life-threatening person, how can she bear it alone?
The two of them dragged on and had a moment of trouble, and finally arrived at Xiao Jue's room together, explaining what Yan He said just now. He thought Xiao Jue would not go together, but he didn't expect that the man turned around and said, "Okay."
At this moment, He Yan and Lin Shuanghe were both frightened.
He actually agreed so, his expression was so calm? Lin Shuanghe whispered to He Yan: "Will he wait to fight with Yang Mingzhi on the boat, right? This is too indecent."
He Yan: "It's very likely."
Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you go?"
"Go and go, of course you have to go." Lin Shuanghe leaned into He Yan's ear and whispered: "You must go. If the fight starts, remember to pull it and try to persuade the fight."
He Yan was speechless.
After saying that, they went back to their house to change their clothes. The group of them rushed to Jinling and went on a cruise ship in a hurry. He Yan asked someone to fetch water, and after taking a shower, he changed into new clothes.
When she left Rundu, the people who were sending her to the city sent a lot of food and clothing. The materials were not very expensive, but they fit very well. He Yan looked at herself in the mirror. The young man was wearing green clothes and cloth boots, his hair was tied into a simple bun, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked no different from those students who went to school in Xianchang Pavilion in his previous life. She seemed a little taller than when she first arrived in Liangzhou Wei. She stood in the house, as tall as a poplar tree, young and full of vitality.
After He Yan finished packing up, he pushed the door and walked out. As soon as he went out, he found that everyone had packed up and was waiting for her outside. Yan He said impatiently: "You are a little Wu'anlang, why are you so troublesome? So many people are waiting for you. Are you applying makeup inside?"
He Yanxin said, it was a coincidence that she was really applying makeup inside. The girl’s house also needs to be carefully decorated when she dressed up as a man.
Xiao Jue glanced at her, raised his lips slightly and said, "Let's go."
The house arranged for them by Yang Mingzhi was not far from the Qinhuai River. Therefore, everyone did not take a carriage, but walked towards the Qinhuai River by themselves. Their group was either a handsome boy or a handsome man, and they were particularly eye-catching when walking on the street. From time to time, there were bold girls in their houses pretending to sprain their ankles and leaning forward. However, Xiao Jue never liked to contact others, so he naturally avoided it accurately. Yan He was not a sympathetic person, and there was room for nothing to scold and punish. Chu Zhao had a beautiful maid beside him, so the girls settled for the second best. In the end, Lin Shuanghe and He Yan suffered.
He Yan didn't remember how many beautiful girls he had helped, but the tender gazes of those girls who looked at her made her unable to resist. For a moment, she felt that it was better to be as innocent and cute as Song Taotao.
The same is true for Lin Shuanghe, I don’t know how many times he called “sister”.
Yan He looked at the two of them gloatingly and said to Lin Shuanghe: "Lin Shuanghe, for so many years, I didn't expect you to be so fond of women."
Lin Shuanghe sorted out his slightly wrinkled robe and smiled slightly, "This is natural, just like you are not liked by women as always."
Yan He snorted, "I already have a wife, so there is no need to please others."
He Yan was stunned and looked at Yan He: "General Yan has married?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jue and Chu Zhaodu looked at He Yan.
Lin Shuanghe showed off his fan, "I didn't expect that our General Yan is young, but unfortunately he got married early."
"I think you are jealous." Yan He sneered.
He Yan is a bit strange. She and her classmates at Xianchang Pavilion have rarely had contacts since they joined the army. They don’t know when Yan He will get married. Although it is understandable that Yan He is now married at this age, with his arrogant and arrogant temperament, it is really hard to imagine what his husband looks like as a human being. It was at this moment that He Yan really felt that the young people back then had indeed grown up.
When everyone was talking, they had already arrived on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Several servants were waiting by the river. When they saw He Yan and his party, they stepped forward and said, "Governor Xiao, General Yan, and Governor have prepared a cruise ship and are waiting on the boat."
In fact, in terms of the Yang family's family background, Yang Mingzhi didn't have to do this. This posture was already very low. However, among the people, his close friend had already become a estranged from him, and Yan He, who was kind-hearted to do bad things, was not very good at speaking. Chu Zhao and Yang Mingzhi were not very familiar with each other, and He Yan even changed his body. Therefore, when the group boarded the boat, they noticed Yang Mingzhi's embarrassment.
Yang Mingzhi had already taken off the governor's robe and changed into a sandalwood long gown. Although he was an official, he did not have the worldly aura of an official. Standing here, he was even more restrained and somewhat arrogant as a young man. He Yan seemed to have returned to Xianchang Pavilion in a trance, and Yang Mingzhi was still Yang Mingzhi of the past.
Yan He patted Yang Mingzhi on the shoulder, walked to the bow of the boat to look, and said, "You can enjoy it. I chose such a good place as Jinling. I didn't know that we were fighting in Rundu a few days ago. Not far from your Jinling, that's the hell on earth, and it's already sucking people."
Yang Mingzhi was stunned: "It's true?" Then he looked a little angry and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The Uttor did evil in Jiyang and Runduhua, but Jinling City was not affected at all. Still singing and dancing to the level of peace. On the Qinhuai River, many pleasure boats were flowing down the river, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from it, floating slowly on the water. The lights were brightly lit and flowers were blooming on the shore.
He Yan sat in the boat and looked out through the window. The water surface was almost shining with lanterns and fishing fires on the boat, as if it was a real peaceful and prosperous era.
This place is different from Jiyang. The boats in Jiyang are small and the water market is lively, as fierce and simple as the women in Jiyang. However, Jinling is like an old dream of towers, sheng, boats, lanterns, and beautiful scenery in spring.
I don’t know which boat it was, the sound of a pipa came from the boat. The sound of a piano was like a pearl falling from a jade plate, which made people think flying. Lin Shuanghe stood at the bow of the boat and smiled and said, “Jinling City is still exactly the same as many years ago. The sound of this boat, this water, and this pipa are no different.”
Ying Xiang heard this and asked curiously: "Honor Lin has been to Jinling?"
"That's natural," Lin Shuanghe spread his fan and looked like jade. "Speaking of this, I was not the only one on the boat when I came to Jinling last time. Brother Yan, Huai Jin... Lord Yang, right?"
He looked at He Yan, who was looking at the water surface again: "Brother He, it must be your first time in Jinling, right? How about it?"
He Yan nodded: "It's very beautiful."
She thought to herself that it was not the first time she had arrived in Jinling. As Lin Shuanghe said, counting it, the last time she arrived in Jinling, the person on the boat had to add another one.
It was a summer day in Xianchang Pavilion, just like the current season. There was a poetry gathering in Jinling City, and many famous scholars from the Wei Dynasty were invited. This was the first time in ten years, and it was hard to find the opportunity. The gentlemen of Xianchang Pavilion wanted the young people to see the world, so they chose the ten best young people in the school and received the post of the poetry gathering.
Of course, He Yan did not receive a post. Although her literary classics are better than martial arts, she is not as high as the top ten. However, He Yan was not very interested in leaving Beijing and going to Jinling. It is always inconvenient to wear a mask, not to mention that she is spending time with those young people along the way, and it is not easy to find a time to avoid it, so it is just right not to go. Thinking of this, there are not many regrets.
That day, He Yan still finished school and read a little longer. The sun was about to set, and he thought that there was still some food left in the kitchen, so he got up and walked towards the kitchen. The Xianchang Pavilion would not have deducted the food of the students. No matter when he went to the kitchen, there were always some pastries and food.
As soon as He Yan walked to the kitchen, he saw the door of the firewood on one side was closed. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard the young man's excitement from it: "Brother Lin's suggestion, I'm going to Jinling anyway, why not go to Zhiyun Tower to have a long experience? I've heard of Daming for a long time. If I could meet, I would live up to my life."
"Isn't it?" Lin Shuanghe's voice continued, "It is said that the beauties and wines in Zhiyun Tower are the best in the Great Wei Dynasty. How can the poetry meeting be as interesting as those in Zhiyun Tower? I think we will stay in Jinling for a few more days, and the gentleman will not follow us anyway. We will take care of our own guards and servants, and let's have a happy life, but others don't know!"
He Yan was stunned when he heard this. She knew about Ruyun Tower. He heard that among all the flower buildings in the Great Wei Dynasty, Ruyun Tower had the most beauties, and each of them had fat and thin swallows, with different moods. Like a hundred flowers blooming, the fairy who traveled to the flower was even more beautiful and unforgettable.
These people actually secretly went up the flower building under the name of the poetry meeting. If the teacher discovered this, each of them would have their legs broken. He Yan sighed at their courage and did not want to get involved in this matter. He raised his foot and was about to leave. Suddenly, a voice came from inside: "Who?"
The next moment, the door of the firewood was opened. A group of teenagers sat around and seemed to Yan He holding He Yan's collar and said angrily: "Are you eavesdropping?"
"It's not what I want to eavesdrop." He Yan defended, "I'm passing by." They were speaking so loudly that they didn't close the door, and they were so arrogant, why did they blame her?
Yan He threw her into the woodshed and closed the door. The young men looked at her with burning eyes and spoke in a lingering manner.
"It was bad luck that He Rufei heard it! Otherwise, don't go, what if this guy rumored it?"
"No, I finally went to Jinling, how could I lose because of this kid? It's a loss!"
"What should I do? Silence?" A young man said in a sinister test: "Buried alive on the spot?"
He Yan was shocked and said weakly: "...No need to be so rude, I actually didn't hear anything. Lin, Brother Lin?" She asked Lin Shuanghe for help, after all, she had the friendship of "progressing together". At this time, she could not stand by death and refused to save her.
Lin Shuanghe stared at her and thought for a moment, then put on the fan, "Oh, what a big deal, I believe that even if Brother He heard it, he would not tell me."
"What you believe is useful?" Yan He's face was very dark, "Will you be responsible for something happening?"
"I don't take this responsibility, but we can just take him with me." Lin Shuanghe spread his hands, "In this way, he will never cheat himself."
He Yan: "..."
Lin Shuanghe can always come up with particularly unique solutions to these things.
He Yan struggled and said, "Sir, I won't agree, I don't have a post..."
"You don't have to worry about this," Lin Shuanghe smiled slightly, "included by this young master."
In this way, He Yan was forced to follow the young men to Jinling.
The post Lin Shuanghe got from somewhere, and the gentleman agreed. Although Mrs. He was a little uneasy, He Yuansheng agreed very much. He supported anything that could add glory to "He Rufei". Therefore, without much effort, He Yan traveled alone with the teenagers to Jinling for the first time.
The waterway is on the way.
To be continued...
