Chapter 359 Night Tour of Qinhuai River

After Su Chen left the palace, he felt much relieved. After all, the prince and queen's illnesses had improved and they were recovering day by day. He could finally feel relieved.

As long as I can cure these two nobles, I will be the benefactor of the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although I will not be able to repay the favor, I will have a backer when I enter the official career of the Southern Tang Dynasty and build a good relationship with Empress Zhou and Empress Dowager Zhong.

, I can be as stable as a rock in Jiangnan.

Of course, the prospects of the Southern Tang Dynasty were worrying. If Su Chen really wanted to stay in the Southern Tang Dynasty and take root, he would have to consider how to prolong the Southern Tang Dynasty so that it would not be as short-lived as it was in history and would be destroyed in another ten years.

Ten years!

Not too long, not too short, enough to do a lot of things.

For example, if we strengthen foreign trade, fill the treasury of Southern Tang Dynasty, enrich the country and strengthen the people, the whole country will have sufficient unity and cohesion.

In addition, by prompting the imperial court to expand its armaments and actively prepare for war, it can also increase the combat power of the Southern Tang Dynasty and annex Wu, Yue and Fujian. By then, Haiyan will be able to refine its technology and will not be controlled by the north.

All of this is not impossible to achieve. He relies on the advanced knowledge of later generations. As long as the Southern Tang royal family trusts him and gives him enough privileges, he may not be able to become a marquis and prime minister and make great achievements to protect the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Su Chen was sitting in the car. He opened the car curtain and saw the unique scenery of the Jiangnan water town, with blue bricks and black tiles, pavilions and pavilions, like an ink painting with thick ink and light colors.

Most of the houses in Jiangnan are small double-story buildings. There are many large and small inland rivers in the city, and there are many houses on both sides. Looking across, there is a feeling of green and white complementing each other.

Some willows, sycamores, and osmanthus trees are luxuriant, blocking the sunlight on the tree-lined paths, and the rows of shadows reflected in the water are hazy as if in a dream.

Putting down the curtains, Su Chen became more and more determined. Should he establish a good foothold in Southern Tang Dynasty? Go against the trend and develop, it will be a crucial ten years, and he will work hard!

"Ten years ago, I didn't know you, you didn't belong to me? We were still the same, accompanying a stranger? Walking through the streets that became increasingly familiar..."

Su Chen hummed a song "Ten Years" and returned to Peng Mansion.

………

At dusk? Jiang Tao, Liu Dong, and Xia Baosong came to the door, planning to invite Su Chen to the Xiyuan Poetry Recital.

Now they are Peng Fuyin's disciples? Are they on the side of the Sun Party (Korean Party)? Of course they have to participate in Xiyuan's poetry meeting? They were not qualified before, but now they can take the quota post that Peng Fuyin got and go to participate.

He will envy many of the scholars and students of Imperial College.

Su Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "You three, go ahead. I want to accompany Qingqing and have some fun first, and then go to the poetry meeting."

"This..." The three of them were all proud to go to the poetry meeting. They wished they could go there in advance to pay their respects, but they didn't expect that Su Chen planned to be late!

Seeing Su Chen's appearance, he didn't seem to pay much attention to the Poetry Club, and the three of them admired him even more for his unwillingness to go.

But after thinking about it carefully, I can understand it. After all, he is Jiangzuo Sulang, who was rated as "Jiangzuo's No. 1 Talent" by Runzhou scholars. His poems are famous all over the world, and there is no need to go to such poetry gatherings to show off.

.

"Master Su, let's go ahead first."

Su Chen nodded, waved and said, "Have fun!"

After sending off the Three Talents of Jiangxia, Peng Qingqing finished changing her clothes. Today she is not wearing the military uniform, but is rarely wearing women's clothes. From the beaded flower on her head, to the silver hairpin in her hair, to the crested shoes at her feet, everything is

It's rare to see a girl pretending to be a girl.

At least in the two or three months since Su Chen had known Peng Qingqing, he had never seen her dress up so carefully.

Peng Qingqing is dressed in a lavender underskirt, with the collar and cuffs embroidered with gold thread. The lower skirt is a multi-pleat oblique skirt with an arc-shaped hem. The style is close to the body, tailored to fit, and has a thin waist.

The thin water-red ribbon makes the waist appear slim.

Looking at her beautiful cheeks, pointed nose, and eyes as clear as autumn water, her facial features seem to have been carefully carved, and her bright eyes and white teeth are very beautiful.

Sure enough, the beauty is quiet, elegant and clean, and the movement of the beauty is as graceful as a startling crane!

Unexpectedly, Peng Qingqing also has such a quiet and gentle side.

When Peng Qingqing saw him, her face immediately turned red. Although she was secretly happy in her heart, she said angrily: "What are you looking at?"

Su Chen chuckled and said, "Of course...it depends on you!"

"What are you looking at me for?" Peng Qingqing asked knowingly, with a hint of shyness.

Su Chen smiled and said, "I see you are more like a girl today."

Peng Qingqing heard him teasing her, raised her fist in protest, and said, "Okay, haven't you treated her like a girl before?"

"That's not true. If I didn't treat you as a girl, I wouldn't have made an engagement with you!" Su Chen smiled, strode forward, stood in front of Peng Qingqing, and looked at her carefully.

Peng Qingqing was secretly happy in her heart and shy, but she was still satisfied with her dress today and Su Chen's reaction.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go out expressly. It's already dusk, and the night lights on the Qinhuai River are about to start."

"Okay, let's go." Su Chen agreed.

This time, in addition to Su Chen and Peng Qingqing, there was Bai Lang, who acted as the driver and bodyguard, as well as the maid Huan'er, and the book boy and follower Jing Yun. The five of them first took a car to a dock on the Qinhuai River. The rented boat was ready.

There are wine, vegetables, pastries, dried fruits, etc., and late night snacks prepared for the Qinhuai night tour.

The boat slowly left and began to drift along the river.

The houses on both sides of the Qinhuai River are also called "river houses". They have bead curtains on the doors, painted boats on the river, and silk and bamboo. There are many river houses in this area, which are based on stone. The houses are wooden buildings with pavilions, terraces and pavilions.

Carved beams and painted buildings.

As night falls, the lanterns on the riverbank are brightly lit, and there are many painted boats on the river. Wealthy businessmen, powerful gentry, talented people and beauties are also enjoying the lanterns on the boats. Some of the painted boats are filled with music, laughter and noise from time to time, which really corresponds to that sentence.
