Mu was about to take the opportunity to answer the call, but suddenly someone reported that Qin Shouqing and three others had come to pay their respects.

Naturally, Mrs. Mu dropped the topic and asked the three young masters to come in.

Jiang Ao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. It was almost done, and three Cheng Yaojin jumped out, which was a bad thing.

More importantly, Jiang Ying and Jiang Shi were so frightened when they heard the names of the three people that they stood behind her.

Jiang Wazhi sighed, this is ancient times, just the difference in status can scare people so much.

The three of them came in as if no one else was watching, and they just greeted Mu in a cute and cute manner. Mu also liked Qin Shouqing very much.

He is the eldest son and grandson of the youngest generation of the Qin family. Who in the Qin family does not cherish him?

Qin Shouqing is arrogant outside, but it does not mean that he will not please his elders. On the contrary, Qin Shouqing is very good at pleasing his elders. Except Qin Fengxi who does not buy his fault, who else will not accept his fault?

Mu quickly waved to Qin Shouqing and said distressedly: "My son, it's such a hot day, you're sweating profusely, take a rest. Why don't you ask someone to bring you some iced plum soup to relieve the heat?"

Aunt Wen was originally fanning Mu, but Qin Shouqing took the fan and gave Mu a big fan, telling her not to mess with her.

This provoked another burst of praise from Mu.

When Mrs. Mu met Cheng Nuoyan, she knew that he was the son of the princess. The princess's son was not to be neglected and he was very close to him. Cao volunteered, so he just praised her casually and took her away. After all, her son was his father's boss.

Boss, she wouldn't say she cares too much about his feelings.

Mu also chatted with Princess Jingyang very cordially: "The princess's son is already so old. I remember when you got married, the whole city sent him off. How old were you then? It has been more than ten years in a flash. You see,

My son is already so old and looks very talented. He is indeed of royal blood and has royal demeanor."

Jingyang is such a son, and when he talks about his son, his eyes are full of smiles, "He looks like Zhou Zheng, but he is a little skinny. It just so happens that this year we can go back to Gyeonggi together, and my mother-in-law also wrote to say that I haven't seen you for a long time.

I’m going back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year.”

Mu said: "That is exactly the same. My mother-in-law said in the early years that the princess is blessed. Now it seems that she is indeed so."

Mu's mother-in-law, the grandmother of Qin Fengxi and others, was the aunt of the current emperor, the eldest princess Yide. The emperor had to bend down to talk to her when he saw her. According to seniority, Jingyang had to call her aunt.

Talking about returning to Beijing, usually when you return to Beijing years ago, the road will be full of snow. It is not a problem for big families to go out. People will be sent to shovel the snow and clear the roads along the way. Of course, such a large amount of labor is not possible for small households, so,

Occasionally, some small caravans would take advantage of the big families to follow them and take advantage of the passage.

Firstly, it is convenient and trouble-free, and secondly, it is safe.

Therefore, on the road in winter, we often see large families followed by many small caravans and small families.

The wealthy families in Jizhou City have now formed an unwritten rule. If it is not a very private movement, any travel in winter will make rumors.

Some people below will also inquire when big families will travel, so that they can follow them and take advantage of the road.

This practice originated from the Qin family, because there are often carriages on snowy roads that cannot move forward due to snow, road safety hazards, or banditry. So Qin Fengxi took the initiative, and the remaining people, whether from the government or the aristocratic family,

Regardless, they all followed suit, and now a kind of secret competition has formed.

Every wealthy family determines their status based on how well they can travel and how many people they have with them.

Since then, the road from Jizhou City to the capital has become much safer, with fewer bandits appearing. If any wealthy family is robbed while traveling, they will become the laughing stock of the family.

When Qin Shouqing and Cheng Nuoyan heard that they would be able to go to Beijing together, they began to wink in private. Cao Yuan stood aside with a slightly depressed look. Cheng Nuoyan quietly leaned over and said, "I will take you to Beijing with me then."

Cao Yuan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, which shows that the three of them are indeed closely related.

The expressions of these three people were beaming and triumphant, which was in sharp contrast to Jiang Shi and Jiang Ying hiding behind with their heads down. This was the difference.

"Grandma Third Grandma, Grandma Seventh Uncle just sent someone to ask us to greet you and then board the boat. He said that the Sixth Prince of Wu Di Kingdom is also here. I see that Brother Jing You is also here, and I want to invite him to join us.

When Cheng Nuobai saw Jiang Wu and his party, he had no intention of being cold to them, so he was naturally ready to refuse. Unexpectedly, Qin Shouqing looked at Jiang Wu and the others and said:

"It's better for the young master and girls of the Jiang family to come together. We are all of the same age. It is a festival, so we should play together to make it more lively."

What does Qin Shouqing want to do?

You actually want to invite them on board the ship?

Jiang Wen was about to refuse, she still wanted to stay here to do business.

Mu was already happy to see Jiang Wei and Qin Fengxi getting closer, so she didn't even need to ask for the opinions of everyone in the Jiang family. She spoke directly: "This is how it should be, young people should be with young people. Follow the dragon boat and see more clearly from behind.

"It's boring to keep these young kids with us old ladies. Go ahead."

So the Jiang family left helpless, confused and frightened.

Qin Fengxi's painting boat is very large and luxurious, with carved galleries and painted walls. The connecting board connecting the painting boat to the shore is two-story high, and there are partitions under the plywood.

Qin Fengxi, the sixth prince of Wu Di Kingdom and others were fishing on the empty space on the first floor of the plywood...

What kind of fish are you fishing in this case? The dragon boat is rowing in front of you with splashes of water, but there are still fish everywhere.

Qin Shouqing reported to Qin Fengxi that he had invited the eldest young master of the Cheng family and all the girls and young masters of the Jiang family to board the boat. Qin Fengxi looked back and saw that Jiang Wen had also been invited, but she did not express any opinions, so she only said: "Now that we have

Daughters, please ask your mother-in-law to lead you to the second floor to watch the dragon boat. The young men will stay on the plywood to keep you company."

Being able to serve tea and water in front of these noble people, even if it is just to accompany them, is not something that ordinary people can ask for. In front of such important figures as Qin Fengxi and the sixth prince of Wu Di Kingdom, even just standing there is enough for Jiang Shi and Jiang Ying.

They have been showing off in the school for a long time. This is a great honor for the two boys of the Jiang family.

In the past, this was not their turn at all.

So a mother-in-law and two girls came to take the three Jiang sisters to the second floor.

Before Jiang Wei left, she saw Qin Fengxi asking the person sitting next to him: "The Sixth Prince has never fished before, right?"

He is the sixth prince. Although only his back can be seen, he is obviously wearing different clothes and has a strong figure, which is different from the others. Everyone in Wu Diguo is said to be fat, strong, tough, rough and arrogant, and brave and good at fighting.

From a genetic point of view, not to mention the sixth prince, the followers standing around him are generally taller and more powerful than the people in the country.

"I have never fished before. The water in Wudi Kingdom is only for drinking and cannot be used to raise fish. And people don't like to eat fish because they have too many spines."

I thought that the sixth prince would speak incomprehensible bird language, but his voice was deep and clear, with a light foreign accent and standard Mandarin. It was particularly magnetic and surprisingly pleasant to the ears.

Jiang Wei only evaluated the Sixth Prince's voice from an objective perspective.

But when Jiang Wu heard this voice, her body trembled obviously, she felt a chill in her body, and some fear instinctively emerged in her heart.

She wanted to turn her head to see if it was him, but the crowd was so thick that she couldn't see him. She only saw Cheng Nuobai who turned around. Cheng Nuobai smiled gently at her and said, "Go, don't worry, I will take care of you."

Your brother."

Cheng Nuobai thought that Jiang Wu was worried about Jiang Shi and Jiang Ying. They were still young, of low status, and had never experienced such a big scene. They really needed someone to take care of them.

Seeing Cheng Nuobai's gentle smile, she calmed down a little, smiled back, and then put aside her doubts and went up to the second floor with peace of mind.

The second floor was empty now, but a chess board was set up. The maid explained that Qin Fengxi and the Sixth Prince had just played chess, and the chess game was not over yet. She asked if she wanted to take the chess board out or clear it for them to play with.

The white ones are made of ivory, and the black ones are made of black jade.

Jiang Wu said no. Firstly, no one in the Jiang family was good at chess. Secondly, the three of them were just guests, so their status was awkward. They couldn't do anything here at their own initiative.

The hull on the second floor is higher, you can see farther, and you can see the outside more clearly. There are windows all around, the view is very good, the window body is very beautiful, and it is surrounded by camphor wood carvings, and the carving is exquisite. Standing by the window

There is a slight moist river breeze in the wind, and a faint scent of camphor drifts into the nostrils. It makes people feel refreshed and energetic instantly.

After the maids served tea and snacks, they retreated to the door, leaving the space inside to the three sisters. Originally, each of them only brought one eldest girl with them, and the maids of the Qin family all retreated to the door sensibly, so

The three sisters feel more comfortable.

Jiang Mei pointed to the water in the east and said excitedly: "Look, the Big and Little Pearl Towers, we will pass by the two towers later. I have never seen the twin towers from close range. Now I am following the Qin family's boat. I don't know if we can.

It’s such an honor.”

The Big and Small Pearl Towers are famous for the large and small night pearls on the top of the towers. The pearls on the top of the two towers are valuable and have been protected by the government, and ordinary people are not allowed to get close to them.

Even if the family is wealthy and has a boat or a boat that can enter the river, no one can see these two towers up close. One is because the pearls are precious, and the other is that there is actually a rumor here.

Jiang Wu is a little older and knows a little about the Twin Towers.

Explained to the two younger sisters, "Before this, there has been a rumor that before the Big and Little Pearl Towers were built, there were often fishing boat accidents in that place, and there were often deaths and injuries. Some people even disappeared, and even their bodies could not be found. They could go down the river.

Fishermen are all good at water. It is not easy to drown in a river like this. Moreover, the accident rate here is very high. Some survivors rumored that there was an evil dragon there. Because he violated the laws of heaven, he was killed.

The Jade Emperor was suppressed here, but he did not change his evil nature, so he often came out to make trouble. Because he was trapped here, he had to eat people to worship his five internal organs temple. People were extremely afraid of this place and avoided it, but because of the rapid river, they still

There will be shipwrecks passing by.”

Jiang Wei listened carefully and looked at the twin towers over there. The twin towers were not very high. The big tower was about fifteen meters and the small tower was slightly lower. The two towers were not far apart, and there was no special formation in their positions.

Say. In fact, most of these legends are made up by thoughtful people. They are all for some purpose, not to let people get close to them.

However, ships often get into trouble. Excluding human causes, there must be geographical and environmental factors at work, and there cannot be some evil dragon as everyone has rumored.

Creatures like dragons probably don't exist.
