.The New Year’s Eve in Yangzhou is also a different flavor.

On New Year's Eve, there was a festive atmosphere inside and out, but this festiveness was not like the joy and lively place in Bianjing. All the households had already put on talismans. After putting on red paper and having the New Year's Eve dinner, they first went to the temples to get some incense and then rushed into the streets of Yangzhou.

The Twenty-Four Bridges are also elegant. This side is connected to the eight pavilions around it. There is water below. On New Year's Eve, the red lanterns are all filled with all the citizens and people from Yangzhou. They all came out. This is also a place where scholars gather. People talk about scriptures and writings in a very elegant way. However, when they go to the bridge, they will talk about the water and write a few words. They will be leaning on this side to watch the lanterns and enjoy them and then recite them again. The New Year's Eve of Yangzhou has more elegant things.

At this time, Wang Xian was also sitting in a pavilion here. The red lights around him could see clearly that the twenty-four bridges were very long, but the bridge was not wide. However, this bridge carries many memories and witnesses the literati and poets who came to Yangzhou, and witnessed many popular events.

Li Qingzhao sat beside him, and saw him sitting just by looking around, and couldn't help but smile: "Did Mr. Wang think of something when he saw this Yangzhou New Year's Eve?"

Wang Xian said slowly: "Yes, Miss Li, we have been to Yangzhou for about twenty days. Look at this New Year's Eve in Yangzhou, as if scholars gather, people would recite poems from time to time. It seems that all the elegant figures are in Yangzhou."

Li Qingzhao chuckled and said, "Yangzhou was originally a place of romance and miss. In the past, Emperor Yang of Sui was happy here. Then there were also romantic talented men Du Mu and others who were nostalgic here. There were many literati and poets living here, so there were many elegant people. This is not unreasonable. However, I just heard some poems here that were not written, and the lyrics were more gorgeous and there were no good sentences."

Wang Xian smiled and then said, "Miss Li's scenery in Yangzhou should be so gorgeous. If Bianjing is compared to an old man who is nearly 60 years old, Bashu is compared to a wealthy businessman in his forties, Jiangnan is a young man in his twenties, then Yangzhou is a gorgeous woman. Yangzhou is not in appearance but in appearance but in appearance but in this period I have never encountered such a situation in Bianjing. Almost all Yangzhou people recite poems on New Year's Eve. It's the elegance that Liu Yuxi said, "There is no white diary in contact with each other." Isn't Yangzhou a wonderful city?"

Li Qingzhao looked at the people who were reciting each other and sighed, "Yes, Yangzhou and Bianjing are too different."

Wang Xian stood up and suddenly saw a man standing on the bridge over there looking around and then walking over to the two men as if they were saying something.

He smiled immediately and said to Li Qingzhao: "Miss Li, please sit in this pavilion for a while first. I just saw an old friend and went over to talk to him."

Li Qingzhao was quite strange, but she didn't ask anything and just nodded slightly and sat in the pavilion.

Wang Xian walked to the twenty-four bridge at this time and smiled: "I didn't expect that the three of you will also come out to enjoy the night view of Yangzhou on New Year's Eve."

Several people here were stunned when they heard this and then someone laughed and said, "Chenbei, you are also on Brother Lu and I are too bored recently, so I ran out to have some free time on New Year's Eve, and I can also take a look at the flavor of Yangzhou New Year's Eve."

These three people are Zhao Wanbao. Lu Xing'er and Li Quanchang are dressed in white. Except Li Quanchang's body, they look a little awkward because they are dark and look a little awkward. Zhao Wanbao and Lu Xing'er both look extremely handsome and as handsome as a talented man.

Wang Xian smiled and said, "Brother Yibao must have got the flavor of it."

Zhao Wanbao laughed and said, "This is not the case, but Brother Lu said a word that joy is the joy of joy. If there are chores in his heart, then this New Year's Eve will not be so wonderful."

Wang Xianzhan Yan said, "Oh? Brother Lu must be obsessed with the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou now."

Lu Xing'er smiled slightly and then said, "Brother Wang, you don't understand. I am really unhappy with something in my heart."

Wang Xian was stunned and said, "Is there something wrong with the Zhou brothers?"

Since Zhou Da agreed to continue to stay in Liuyi Lane, the whole of Yangzhou has become very different because the government has begun to investigate the building burning matter, but coincidentally, the concubine of the Yangzhou magistrate disappeared, so the yamen runners were removed. Most of the head-in-chief Hu Shan was willing but powerless, so he could only interrogate the rescued people without any progress.

At this time, Zhou Da began to speak out about Su Daner's death with their brothers' names in Yangzhou for many years and the power behind the scenes of the Ming Cult. On the second day, the gangsters of Yangzhou all wanted to discuss his ruthless arrangements with him on Wednesday and Thursday, and the people of the Ming Cult were ambushed in the room outside the room and killed more than a dozen gangsters in Yangzhou in one fell swoop. They directly shocked everyone there and did not dare to act rashly.

Then he began to clean Liuyi Lane, first restored his restaurant, teahouse and a dry flower building, and then snatched Su Daner's places. He was born and continued these places intact and began to clean up those subordinates who were quite loyal to Su Daner.

There are not many people in this group, but Zhou Da is still quite careful. After all, although he is powerful and famous, he still cannot arouse everyone's anger. So he specially identified Su Daner's loyalty and then secretly killed him and then began to comfort others, so that everyone dared not and wanted to do anything again.

In just a few days, the Zhou brothers controlled these forces in Liuyi Lane. Zhou Da's unkind behavior made all the scoundrels in Yangzhou feel a little scared. However, they soon realized that as long as they didn't mess with the Zhou brothers, everything would still be the same. So on New Year's Eve, everyone was still happy to spend the New Year.

Wang Xian also knew that this matter was basically under the control of Zhou Da, Lu Xinger, as the person behind the scenes, should be happy, but he didn't expect that he had the intention to do so, so his first reaction was that something happened to Zhou Da and the others.

Lu Xing'er shook his head slightly and sighed: "Everything is still good for the Zhou brothers now. Yangzhou has returned to its original state. What I think in my heart is not them, but you, Brother Wang."

Wang Xian was stunned and said, "I? What does Brother Lu mean?"

Lu Xing'er sighed, "I remember Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms said: 'The green collar is lingering in my heart. But I have pondered it for you until now.' What I think about now is that Cao Mengde thought of the past was all the hearts of Duke Zhou, but he could not 'the world's hearts'."

Only then did Wang Xian understand what Lu Xing'er meant that he wanted to bring himself into the Ming Cult again.

In fact, many times Lu Xing'er has told Wang Xian that sometimes he implied it and sometimes he said it bluntly, but Wang Xian always made excuses. Unexpectedly, Lu Xing'er talked about this matter again today and had to smile and said, "Brother Lu is indeed so arrogant that he is as good as Meng De in the past."

Lu Xing'er sighed at this time: "Brother Wang, you are very familiar with us and others. You should know why my Ming Cult style cannot be included in my Ming Cult?"

Wang Xian looked at Lu Xing'er and smiled slightly, "I have already said this, so wait until I go to Jiangnan to talk about it. Brother Lu, don't forget to look for me in the future."

Lu Xinger said helplessly: "That's certain."

Zhao Wanbao interrupted at this time, "Chenbei, we will leave in a few days. When are you going to start going to Jiangnan?"

Wang Xian pondered and said, "Because I have a lot of things to bring down from the canal, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk at this time, so I want to wait a few more days before the spring flowers bloom, so I will take a boat down."

Zhao Wanbao smiled and said, "Then we won't wait for Chen Bei. Brother Lu's family still has important things to wait until you arrive in Jiangnan. We will definitely come over to see you."

Wang Xian smiled and looked at the red lights under the bridge and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The few of them said a few more words to each other, Wang Xian walked back to the original pavilion, but saw Li Qingzhao sitting here quietly and laughing: "I just talked too much, but Miss Li waited for a long time."

Li Qingzhao smiled slightly and then said, "Young Master Wang is too late today, we should leave."

Wang Xian nodded and looked at the shining water under the Twenty-Four Bridge over there, and couldn't help but murmur: "Yes, it's time for us to leave."

The red lights on New Year’s Eve are still beautiful and make this Yangzhou look extremely charming.

…………

This winter is extremely cold and warm, and spring comes very late until February when the sky changes.

The sun began to appear earlier and earlier in the east. A warm breeze began to blow to Yangzhou. Everyone started to take off their thick clothes. They also made the dead trees grow green buds. The breath of spring began to spread throughout Yangzhou. The green willow branches, chirping birds, and various colorful flowers appeared in front of people at this time.

The canal has started sailing again. At this time of year, there will always be a large number of people starting to get busy and the boatmen are happy that this canal is so big that it is basically enough for ordinary people to use it for a year. So these boatmen have prepared everything long ago and are waiting for the guests to go on the water.

The place here is Yangzhou. The port called Bajiagang is hundreds of steps along the river. The boaters who make a living by boat live in the river. All kinds of ships enter the big ships, black-paned boats, long sailing boats, low boats, and small boats. The bamboo rafts are all docked here, as if waiting for guests to go down the water.

Wang Xian had already come here at this time and stayed in Yangzhou for so long and was really reluctant to leave. So he dragged it until the time when the spring green world was in the sky. He was about to travel south and found a large boat owner and prepared to take the fast sail to go south and go straight to Jiangnan.

The spring breeze was still cold, but everyone still came early in the morning. Wang Xian had a lot of luggage, so he specially hired someone to come until he sent his luggage to the sailboat before he was ready and prepared a lot of dry food for the needs of these days.

The boatman was a real Yangzhou native, and seemed very generous. Wang Xian and others were about to drive the boat after lunch, but they heard a large group of people coming over and coming towards them.

Wang Xian was stunned but saw that it was Thursday when the group of people behind him were carrying some things and heading towards Wang Xianxing.

On Thursday, he smiled heartily: "Brother Wang heard that you are going to Jiangnan. We four brothers used to be your kindness but did not repay you, so they sent me to see you off."

Wang Xian smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness in the fourth son, but now I have to travel south, so I can't talk to you about some of you. If you have time, you can go to Jiangnan to see you. Then you can also do your best to be a landlord."

At this time, Thursday he was stunned and said, "Brother Wang, who are you going to take the boat?"

He saw Wang Xian pointing and said quickly: "This ship is too small, Brother Wang will wait here for a while to let me talk to the ship owner for a while."

As he said that, he walked over there and didn't know what he said. The boatman nodded and then walked back and said, "You carry these things over. I have already agreed with the boatman that he can put them in place. Don't let Brother Wang be too cold."

What was carried here was some of the various furniture that were decorated with houses, including mahogany eight immortal tables, long booths, high chairs and various utensils. These people were directly carried toward the other side, which scared Wang Xian and said to Zhou Xi: "Second Master, why are you?"

On Thursday, he asked everyone to carry things and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are from Bianjing, you have never walked on the waterway. It is not better to take a boat than walking on the official road, as the bigger the better. And we brothers think that if you are a scholar, you must live in a better place. These things are specially ordered for Brother Wang and put them on the boat for dressing. Brother Wang, don't be polite!"

Wang Xian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Can the Fourth Young Master put so many things in one boat?"

On Thursday, he laughed: "Young Master Wang, you are indeed from Bianjing. I don't understand how big our Yangzhou ship is, but you will see it later."

Wang Xian couldn't help but become curious when he heard this. Could it be possible to build a big ship in this era? He was not inconvenient to ask more questions and said some polite words to Thursday until those people came out on Thursday and said, "Brother Wang, you are in a hurry, we won't keep you anymore, so please!"

Wang Xian nodded and then went to find Li Qingzhao and Bao Tena and walked towards the boatman over there.

When Wang Xian got close to him, he realized what Thursday meant. The ship here was indeed a big ship, but it was not the giant ship that Wang Xian imagined. It was about twenty meters long, and it was divided into main and secondary sails, and it was also paddling up and down the stairs. It was extremely grand.

Li Qingzhao and Bao Te both looked incredible. They had never seen such a big guy, a big living room that looked like a moving one, standing by the river, making people sigh at its grandeur.

Wang Xian did not say anything at this time and boarded the boat directly. Then he called out Li Qingzhao and Bao Te and others to come here and saw that the cabin here had two upper and lower floors, and the bottom was also where the paddlers and helmsmen lived. The one above the deck was for the boatman to live. Wang Xian and others went directly to the highest floor along the stairs on the edge.

The room is very particular, but it is still a bit messy. Everything here is new. You can still smell the smell of wood in the whole room. There are also some pens and ink on the desk that is placed, which looks like it is in a elegant residence.

He suddenly felt a little shaking and then stabilized again. Only then did he realize that the ship was starting.

Sitting on such a big boat, I couldn't feel like I was sailing. Wang Xian sat here and ran out again after a while.

When the wind blows towards you, you don’t know the cold, but you just say warm spring.

Wang Xian leaned here. The Grand Canal was extremely magnificent. The spring canal was quite smokey. There was a stream of smoke. People stood on the boat and looked around like in the fairy world but couldn't see anything clearly.

The sound of the canvas blowing and some sounds of breaking waves made Wang Xian feel like the vast ocean and the sky suddenly became wider.

"It's the first time that Mr. Wang has taken a boat?"

Wang Xian turned his head and smiled and said, "It's not that I've never been on such a big boat or seen such a beautiful scenery."

Li Qingzhao had already changed into women's clothing. At this time, she looked quite thin. She looked into the distance and sighed: "Yes, I also dreamed of hanging sails and traveling far away on this canal. The water on all sides is invisible. But this boat is too big, I don't feel like riding a boat."

Wang Xian laughed and said immediately, "Does Miss Li still remember that Leng Xiang?"

Li Qingzhao said strangely: "Miss Lengxiang? Didn't she leave before New Year's Eve?"

Wang Xian smiled and said, "Yes, she also went south from this canal. But it was cold at that time, and it was hard to find a boat. It took twenty stags of money to barely find a small boat. She also complained that the boat was bumpy and walking very slowly. Now you talk about the feeling of riding a boat. If you want to hear it, you will definitely feel that you are in a blessing and don't know how to be blessed."

Li Qingzhao whispered: "Yes, I am really in a blessing and I don't know that my father and mother love me so much, but I left them."

When Wang Xian was stunned to see Li Qingzhao's expression on his face, he couldn't help but whisper: "Do you miss home?"

Li Qingzhao shook her head and said, "Maybe it's because she's not used to it for too long."

Wang Xian pondered for a moment and smiled, "Why don't we go to the deck and wait a moment and I'll bring the things over."

As he said that, he walked into the room for a while and then took out his flute and smiled, "Miss Li, let's go downstairs and shelter them."

Li Qingzhao said strangely: "Does Wang and Prince want to sing a flute on the deck for thousands of miles?"

Wang Xian smiled and walked, saying, "I have heard people say that if you play the flute when you are in a bad mood, you can relieve it. Moreover, if you miss home now, you can use the sound of the flute to express your homesickness."

The deck was also separated by wooden boards. Wang Xian and the others walked down. The vast sound of water could be heard from the ears below. Faced with the wind, he immediately raised the flute and blew it up.

This is "A Laugh in the Sea" which has been widely circulated in later generations. He is now playing it in a good manner and looks integrated on this boat.

At the end of the song, Wang Xian suddenly became excited and laughed and said, "How about Miss Li's song?"
