Chapter 11 Qinhuai Three Bonds
The ox cart gradually slowed down, Xie An smiled and said, "The pursuit has left. If Brother Yuan Jin is fine, he has just arrived in the capital again. Why wouldn't Brother Yu take you to stroll around Jiankang City?"
Xie An wanted to make friends with Sima Ke, and Sima Ke wanted to make friends with Xie An even more. Among the gentry migrated south, although the Xie family could not be compared with the Wang family of Langya, which was at its peak, it was also considered a prominent family. In addition, Xie Anping had always had a wide range of famous scholars, and making friends with him could not improve his standards. Secondly, Xie An was the first minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history, especially in the Battle of Feishui, with 80,000 Northern Palace soldiers over 700,000 Former Qin troops, which was even more famous throughout the ages. Being close to and making friends with him has advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is that although Xie An had a wide range of famous scholars and liked to talk, he did not have the arrogance and wild habits of those scholars and literati, and it was more comfortable to get along with.
After listening to Xie An's suggestion, Sima Ke was certainly disrespectful and smiled and said, "It's so good."
The ox cart slowly walked on the streets of Jiankang City. Sima Ke lifted the curtain and admired the grand scenery of the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties.
I saw pedestrians on the street, with shops standing on both sides, hawking, laughing, and the jingling irons coming from the iron shop, which was very lively.
Soon, the ox cart arrived on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
There are many tourists on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and willows are like smoke. The fragrance of wine comes from the inns and restaurants on both sides; the melodious singing comes from the river; the shimmering river surface, the pleasure boats come and go, like a wandering palace, reflected in the water.
The ox cart was parked at a ferry, with a stone tablet at the ferry, and the poem "Taoye Ferry" was written on it.
The Peach Leaf Ferry is at the junction of the Qinhuai River and the Qingxi Waterway. The banks of the two rivers are full of complicated peach trees. When the wind blows in spring and summer, there will be continuous peach leaves floating on the water surface, and they are blown around by the wind. The peach leaves are floating all over the river, so the peach leaves are named.
As soon as the two approached the ferry, they immediately got off a small boat and came up diligently. They respectfully invited Xie An and Sima Ke to board the boat, and then the boat steadily shuttled between the pleasure boats and boats on the river, sailing towards the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River.
Sima Ke asked curiously: "Where are you going this time?"
Xie An smiled and said, "This place is too noisy, so take Brother Yuan Jin to a quiet place to recite poems and drink."
Sima Ke couldn't help but think in his heart: You wealthy families are really good at playing...
I drove three or four miles away and arrived before a beautifully decorated pleasure boat.
This pleasure boat is four or five meters long and more than ten meters high. It is divided into two layers, with flying eaves and corners, and is magnificent. It is simply a small moving palace with red hangings on it, and the lights are colorful, making it extremely luxurious.
Moreover, this pleasure boat is not in the city, but two or three miles downstream. It is far away from the hustle and bustle in the city and quietly lies on the river surface. Only a wisp of bamboo sounds comes, which makes it even more mysterious and romantic.
The first time Sima Ke followed Xie An to such a high-end pleasure boat, he felt like he had the first time in his previous life to go to a high-end health club with someone else. He just followed him silently and didn't ask much.
The faint sound of silk and bamboo music from the boat came from, and the sound became clearer as soon as they arrived on the boat. When the two of them entered the cabin, they saw a large, soft red carpet covered with a soft red carpet in the spacious painting boat. A man in white was kneeling in front of a table in the middle, looking out the window of the boat, as if he was looking at something.
A servant gently approached the white clothes and said something in a low voice. The man suddenly turned around, looked at the hatch, immediately rose up, and said in surprise: "But Mr. Yuan Jin has arrived?"
Xie An smiled and pointed forward at the man in white and said, "You can't see this big handsome and romantic uncle who is famous in Jiangnan here, you can only know Mr. Yuan Jin in your eyes!"
Sima Ke was confused, but saw the man in white bowing to him generously: "I am Ji Sheng, whose name is Miaoke, pay homage to Mr. Yuan Jin!"
Sima Ke hurriedly returned the gift, and then he carefully saw that the other party was a young man with beautiful eyebrows. His face was as white as jade and white as red, like the blooming peach blossoms. Although he was wearing a cage crown and a handsome men's clothing with big sleeves, he could not hide his graceful figure at all.
Sima Ke glanced at her throat and confirmed that she did not have an Adam's apple. She knew it in her heart, but she didn't know what Xie An was doing. She brought him to see a young master Xibei.
However, this young man Xibei dressed as a man and had a unique look, but what impressed Sima Ke the most was her eyes.
This is a pair of clear eyes without any impurities. Sima Ke has never seen such a pure and flawless look in his life.
The young master named Ji Sheng stared at Sima Ke's face with his eyes tightly, as if he was admiring a piece of exquisite jade. Then he looked up and down at Sima Ke and laughed: "Young Master Yuan Jin is indeed worthy of being the most beautiful young master of the Jin Dynasty. My uncle is really not to deceive me!"
Sima Ke: "..."
Although Mr. Xibei's laughter is generous and not cares about the details, it is as crisp as a lark. It is extremely comfortable to hear it in his ears, but he is a little embarrassed.
Ji Sheng was a typical and familiar. Regardless of Sima Ke’s embarrassment, he patted his soft little hand on his shoulder and smiled cheerfully: “Young Master Yuan Jin, please take your seat. The young student will have to drink and have fun with the young master today, and never get drunk!”
After saying that, he pulled Sima Ke's sleeve and walked into the cabin. Sima Ke had to follow her to the desk table. As soon as he sat down, he heard Ji Sheng slam the desk table and shouted in a sweet voice: "The restaurant, give me the strongest wine and serve the best dishes. By the way, let's have a few more beautiful girls. If you neglect, you will smash your broken boat!"
Sima Ke: "..."
If this call falls into the mouths of others, it will inevitably feel disgusted in my heart, but it seems that it makes people feel particularly interesting when Mr. Xibei shouts. The restaurant shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, but his face was smiling, and he also thinks that her shouting is very interesting.
Sima Ke came back to his senses and looked at Xie An with confusion. However, she saw Xie An smirking and said to him in a low voice: "Brother Yuan Jin, don't blame me. This is my dear sister. She has been spoiled by the elders of the two families since she was a child. No one dared to provoke the two families, and Brother Yu is no exception. Yesterday, she heard that Brother Yuan Jin's reputation was so famous that she had to force Brother Yu to ask Brother Xian to come out, otherwise she would burn Brother Yu's study."
Only then did Sima Ke realize that the moment he walked out of Duanmen, he was cheated by Xie An...
Xie An said again: "My uncle served as the Tingwei position in the court. His ancestor Ji Gong was known as Wu Jun of Jiangnan. He participated in the quelling of Wang Dun's rebellion and pursued him as General of the Cavalry."
At this time, the wealthy families were married to each other. Ji Sheng was Xie An's cousin, so his family background would naturally not be much different. The Ji family of Moling is also the representative of the Jiangdong gentry, second only to the four great masters Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang.
Ji Sheng's father Ji You was appointed as the Tingwei position, who later became the Minister of Dali Temple, and was a third-rank official in the right. He was also considered an important official in the court.
After a while, delicious dishes filled the table table, and then three jars of mud-sealed wine were brought. The waiter patted the mud-sealed wine and said respectfully: "These are all three-year-old wines, please taste them slowly."
Immediately afterwards, two young girls in the rows, Step Yao Dingdang, waved their cloud sleeves, and slowly walked into the cabin. These women are real Jiangnan beauties, with graceful figures, delicate appearance, and their facial features, eyebrows and eyes may not be first-class, but they are all beautiful and elegant. The slender waist with a folded slim waist, and the thin white and soft jade hands are elegantly and neatly posing in the dish. The movements are soft and neat, which makes people pleasing to the eye.
But Ji Sheng laughed and said, "My uncle is romantic by nature. He doesn't like drinking, so choose a few of them."
Sima Ke: "..."
He had seen such a scene before in a high-end club in his previous life, but there was really no woman who invited her to a dinner to find a drinker...
However, Xie An seemed to have become accustomed to it. He laughed and looked carefully. He actually chose four - and four with big breasts. It seems that his aesthetic view is still normal.
Sima Ke hurriedly sat upright, feeling uneasy: When it’s his turn, should he be more reserved, should he give a tip, how much is the right tip? The key is that he didn’t seem to bring money...
However, the facts proved that he was thinking too much. As soon as Xie An chose, Ji Sheng waved his hand and laughed: "Get out, this gentleman doesn't have to wait for you."
Sima Ke then breathed a sigh of relief.
Poor those beautiful girls. When they saw such a fairy-like beautiful boy at the scene, their minds had already flown up, and their eyes were all on Sima Ke. They looked through Qiushui and waited for Sima Ke to come. After hearing Ji Sheng's instructions, they had to reluctantly leave the cabin one by one, and turned around and left the cabin three times.
Ji Sheng turned around, raised the wine bottle and smiled at Sima Ke: "I have to see Brother Yuan Jin today. Ji wished he had met too late, so please drink this wine!"
After saying that, he took the lead in raising his neck and pouring his wine into his throat.
This was a natural and disagreeable person, and he started to drink wine by himself. Sima Ke was infected by her crisp laughter and clear eyes, and she didn't stop him. She sang and chatted for a while, and she was like an acquaintance who had been away for a long time.
Within a stick of incense, they had already drunk four or five bottles of wine. Sima Ke's physique is special, and it cannot be said that he will not be drunk for a thousand cups. At least this low-degree wine is basically not a big challenge, but Ji Sheng is already a little drunk, and his blush becomes more and more beautiful as peach blossoms.
After several rounds of wine, Ji Sheng became more and more drunk. He patted Sima Ke on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Jin and I fell in love with each other. How about it, why not today, let me become brothers of the opposite sex?"
Sima Ke: "..."
Xie An was originally hugging left and right, and was holding the peeled grapes of Meiji beside him with his mouth. When he heard Ji Sheng's words, he spitted the grapes on the ground with a slight sound: "I am your uncle!"
Ji Sheng laughed: "Uncle is also a brother, a restaurant, bring three incense sticks!"
...
"I miss Sima Ke, Xie An, and Ji Sheng, although they have different surnames, their affection is deeper than brothers, so they become brothers. They do not seek to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, nor do they seek to die on the same day of the same month of the same year, but they only seek to share difficulties and share blessings. The heaven can be seen, and the river water is proved, and the ungrateful and unfaithful will be slaughtered together, and the heavens and man will kill each other!"
Three incense sticks, three bowls of wine, and one vow. The three of them took advantage of the wine and bowed their hands in a daze. Sima Ke became the eldest brother, Xie An and Ji Sheng were younger than him, so Xie An became the second brother and Ji Sheng became the third brother.
After the three of them worshipped, Xie An laughed loudly, and with the intention of drinking, he pointed to the surging river: "I will make Jinlan in the right place, so I will call Qinhuai Sanyi, how about it?"
