This is not the Datang I am familiar with

The court lady was able to walk and do things normally today, and Chen Fang smiled slightly when she saw her.

"How do you feel today?"

"Thank you consort for your concern, it's all right now."

"Well, I will follow the empress from now on and serve her carefully first. I will remember your contribution, but you have to do something convincing to make you the leading maid."

"My son-in-law asked me to serve my mother, I am already satisfied."

"Contentment is a good thing, contentment is always happy!"

The palace maid smiled slightly, Chen Fang looked at her, this figure was carved out of the same mold as Wu Meiniang, with Master Chen's temperament, how could he not stretch out his hand to taste it.

As always, Master Chen Dafang has always been invincible when it comes to women. He has never encountered a mountain that cannot be climbed or a river that cannot be descended.

"My son-in-law, can my servant not go to the queen's side, but just follow my son-in-law."

"You girl, I have touched this hand a few times, and even the queen doesn't want to serve you anymore."

The palace maid blushed, was slapped by Chen Fang, and left laughing.

"It's a good place to serve the queen well. You have traveled to the underworld for your empress, and your empress will also remember your affection."

"Yes, Prince Consort!"

Chen Fang stopped and turned his head.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"The nobles haven't named the slaves yet?"

Not all the maids in this palace can be given a name by the nobles.

Some nobles in the palace are too lazy to name the maids around them, just like Yiyang. In the past, the three maids around him were called grapes, cherries, and pears. This is so casual.

And more, in fact, there is no such name.

"I'll go to your mother in a while, and I'll ask her to give you a nice name."

"Thank you son-in-law!"

"I said before that you sacrificed your life for it. You don't need to thank me or anyone else. Remember, your biggest advantage is your body shape. This son-in-law loves it because you are the same size as your empress. Don't waste it." With this exquisite figure, I can't say that my son-in-law likes it, so I want your body."

"Slaves must carefully remember the words of the son-in-law."

Chen Fang laughed and left. This is the feudal era, how wonderful. Of course, it is good to be a superior, but not good to be a subordinate.

Today, the building boat transferred from the Yellow River to the Grand Canal, which is officially on its way to the south.

Chapter 622

In history, the Yellow River diverted several times. In fact, Chen Fang didn't know exactly where the Yellow River flowed at this time. Geographical exploration in this era was ridiculously bad.

Even if Chen Fang could ask other people, at most he would only know that it passed through prefectures and counties, and the scope of prefectures and counties is too large, and it does not match the place names of later generations.

Naturally, Chen Fang didn't care about this, but when the boat diverted and the orange river turned into clear water, Chen Fang still felt quite miraculous.

In the past, I heard that there is a clear distinction between the Wei and the Wei, which means that the Jing River and the Wei River converge, and the two streams have different colors and do not merge with each other. Instead, the light yellow and clear water are clearly distinguished and flow forward.

When the building boats turned to the Grand Canal, the number of boats on the river gradually increased. Naturally, when encountering the royal dragon boats, all boats, no matter if they were small boats of fishermen or large boats of the government, had to give way to the royal boats. go ahead.

In this era, no ship dared to compete with the dragon boat on which Wu Meiniang was riding.

The majesty of the royal family is naturally indomitable, and no one dares to stop it.

Especially when it comes to narrow waterways, the boats in the waterway avoid early and let the dragon boat go first.

Chen Fang was by Wu Meiniang's side, and also personally experienced the benefits of riding a dragon boat.

Chen Fang felt an indescribable joy when he saw other people rushing to avoid him when they saw him, and even capsized a few boats because of this.

It would be unthinkable to put this in later generations. This is equivalent to driving on the road, all vehicles have to give way for you, and you can drive as you want.

Chen Fang watched for a while on the building boat, and then saw that there were more soldiers and horses escorted by the officials along the Grand Canal.

The royal family is mighty, and it doesn't feel like it in the Chang'an Imperial Palace. Only after leaving Chang'an, Chen Fang can deeply understand the feeling of being a royal family.

At this time, he hugged Wu Meiniang and caressed her soft waist.The maids around her are no strangers to it.

The son-in-law of this dynasty is really mighty, there is nothing he dare not do.

In fact, Chen Fang is bold, one is that this place is far away from Chang'an, and the other is that he is ready to ask for the servant maids on the ship, and he will arrange Tang Gongfang's branch in the south of the Yangtze River at that time.

The maids of this era are semi-slaves, as long as Chen Fang speaks, he can completely control the fate of hundreds of court ladies on this ship, and he is not afraid of doing anything in front of them.

Wu Meiniang also knew what he was thinking, even if the consorts didn't want these court ladies, she would find a way to arrange them when the time came.

As for some nonsense, let alone the question of whether you dare or not, as far as the actual situation of the Tang royal family is concerned, Li Zhi almost swallowed it, and his son, Wu Meiniang, can still control it.

That is to say, Wu Meiniang is not afraid of anything at this time, all she has to do is show her relationship with Chen Fang.But in history, Wu Meiniang raised male favorites, which is actually known throughout the court.

In her temperament, she has the pride and boldness that are rare for women in this era, and she can even be said to be reckless.

Caressing the beauty's exquisite waist, Chen Fang looked at the boats in the canal.

Looking at the Grand Canal at this time, it actually corresponds to those two poems.

Although the Sui Dynasty died for this river, it has been relying on Tongbo for thousands of miles.

If there is no dragon boat thing in the Water Palace, there will be not many merits of the common Yu.

The name of the author of these two poems is very interesting, Pi Rixiu.

"Zheng Jieyu, the sun is just right. Seeing the busy canal, I am a little interested. How about playing a light song for me?"

Zheng Jieyu beside her bowed her body and asked people to go to the boat to pick up the piano.

"Now you even have Sister Zheng commanding."

"I let you play, don't you want to play?"

Chen Fang smiled and patted Feng's buttocks, Wu Meiniang said coquettishly, and then looked at him.

In Chang'an, I don't think that the farther away from Chang'an, the bolder this son-in-law is. My ass has been beaten a lot these days, but Wu Meiniang likes it.

After all, she is a woman who likes to rely on, not to be relied on.

It's not good to have a man doting on her, admiring her, and protecting her?

In fact, after sitting in this position for a long time, I am used to seeing servile faces, flattery, and duplicity.

But the more unruly this son-in-law treats her, the more Wu Meiniang likes it.At least this is true temperament, and Wu Meiniang knows that when anything happens to her, the men around her will immediately stand in front of her.

This is the case with the mountain wolf near Lishan Mountain, and the strange fish on the bank of the Yellow River. Someone wants to harm him, but the son-in-law just said that he will take back this revenge for himself.

Wu Meiniang looked at him, this is a rare person in this world that she can rely on wholeheartedly, and Wu Meiniang is really inseparable from serving him on weekdays.

At this time, the Qin has been taken out, but An Ding and Tai Ping also come out. Seeing the two little princesses, Chen Fang behaved properly.

Some are like the adults of later generations who don’t care how they mess around when there is no one else. When children are around, they must always behave themselves so as not to do anything out of the ordinary in front of them.

The palace maid put the qin in place, and Zheng Jieyu had already sat in front of the qin.

Chen Fang went over and plucked the strings with his hand, and there was a string of piano sounds, which was quite unpleasant.Master Chen Dafang has never learned the piano, so if he wants to play a graceful song with just a light flick, how is it possible.

Chen Fang withdrew his hand, Zheng Jieyu was already sitting upright, stroking the qin and playing, Chen Fang listened, and unconsciously fell into the sound of the qin.

At this time, leaning on the fence and looking at the rolling Grand Canal, I have a different thought.

This Grand Canal is truly an immeasurable achievement. Even in later generations, it will be a golden waterway. The north-south traffic has relied on this canal since the Sui Dynasty.

The canal connects the north and the south, named Beijing-Hangzhou, but it connects the north and the south of China. No matter the salt in the Jianghuai River, the fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the dry goods in the north and the south, silk, cotton and linen, and the products along the way, they can be quickly communicated in the form of water transportation.

This canal has carried the prosperity of China for thousands of years, and its role cannot be overstated no matter what.

It’s just that such a great project that works for the present and benefits for the future, Emperor Sui Yang still ruined the Sui Dynasty because of it. After all, as the poem said, if there is no dragon boat in the water palace, the Sui Dynasty will not die because of it .

At this moment, Chen Fang was listening to the qin music, and gradually closed his eyes, Zheng Jieyu gave up one piece, and saw the son-in-law pat the railing with his eyes closed, and played another piece.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the wind blew, but the depression and coldness of winter were gone.

I don't know if it's psychological or real feeling, but Chen Fang felt that when the boat turned the Grand Canal and headed south, he could feel the breath of spring.

After playing the song again, Chen Fang opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Jieyu.

"The title of this song?"

"Jiangnan Spring Morning!"

"Jieyu is good at playing the piano, and the title of this song is also very good. Jiangnan Chunzao, I don't know if we can make fireworks in March and go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou."

"If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to arrive!"

Wu Meiniang said something next to her, and Chen Fang patted the railing.

Over there, Taiping had already run over and asked Chen Fang to pick him up.

Chapter 623

At this time holding Taiping, accompanied by Wu Meiniang, it seems like a family.

"Chen Fang, Taiping hasn't been to Jiangnan yet, what does Jiangnan look like?"

Taiping stroked Chen Fang's cheek and asked.

"How should I say this? What Jiangnan looks like depends on what your Highness likes."

“I like small dried fish!”

"Then I went to the south of the Yangtze River, but there are a lot of small dried fish. There is a land of fish and rice. There are many small fish, and it is near the sea, and the small fish in the sea are even more delicious."

Chen Fang scratched the bridge of Taiping's nose and said to her.

"Is Jiangnan just a lot of small fish?"

Chen Fang looked at the serious little highness, and made a look of thinking.

"Your Highness, the scenery everyone sees is different. What Jiangnan looks like, when you arrive in Jiangnan, Your Highness will experience it for yourself."

"Okay! Taiping listens to Chen Fang."

Taiping put his arms around Chen Fang's neck and lay down on Chen Fang's shoulders. Chen Fang patted Taiping's back and hugged her. Next to her, Wu Meiniang gently teased her little daughter, and An Ding also came over and stood behind her mother. beside.

Look, doesn't this look like a big family.

Facing the wind from the south of the Yangtze River that was getting closer, Master Chen Dafang held Taiping in his arms for half an hour. At this time, with his physical strength and recovery ability, in fact holding Taiping, the uncomfortable and tired hands that held her at the beginning have long since disappeared. It was almost broken. At this moment, it can be said that holding a little girl, Chen Fang didn't feel tired anymore.

After hugging for half an hour, Taiping finally kissed Chen Fang, and then wanted to come down.

"Chen Fang, Taiping wants to eat fish tonight, the fish you cooked."

"Okay! Chen Fang not only cooks fish for His Royal Highness, but Chen Fang also catches this fish for His Highness himself."

Over there, a court lady had already taken the fishing rod, and Chen Fang was fishing on the slow-moving building boat. As for whether he could catch it, Chen Fang had no way of being sure.

At sunset, I don't know if it was luck, two fresh fish took the bait, Chen Fang caught it, and had already gone to the dining room on the upstairs boat.

At this time, the maids serving here were taken aback, the son-in-law actually did the cooking himself.Usually, there are no nobles who come to this place, but whenever there is any order, the maids are sent to pass the message.

At this time, I also saw the son-in-law carrying two fresh fish, and the fresh fish would not be handed over to anyone.It turned out that he personally operated the knife to cut the scales open, cut open the belly, and took out the internal organs.

In this situation, several maids in the dining room saw it, they didn't know what to do, this is the son-in-law, they didn't dare to stop them, as for what to say, they didn't know what to say at all.

Chen Fang entered the kitchen, this is not a new thing in the land of the two palaces and the Tang workshop, but this is the royal palace on the water, not the Tang workshop, let alone the place of the two palaces, and it is impossible for the serving maids in the dining room to know each other. The maids of Tai Chi Palace and Daming Palace.

Naturally, for them, it is absolutely new for the son-in-law to enter the kitchen.

"Doing my own thing, my son-in-law kills fish, is it that strange and beautiful?"

Chen Fang watched everyone staring at him, and lightly reprimanded him, and the maids responded one after another, and went about their own business.

Two fishes, one braised in soy sauce and the other steamed, surprised the maids in the dining room. The son-in-law entered the dining room with excellent cooking skills.

At the beginning of dinner, Taiping concentrated on dealing with the two fish, Chen Fang picked out the fishbone for her, and fed Taiping the fattest belly of the fish.

Wu Meiniang also picked up a few dollars, and also picked up for the eldest daughter and Zheng Jieyu who were on the side.

The rest of the people also ate the fish one after another, naturally they praised Chen Fang's craftsmanship.

At this time, Chen Fang actually seldom cooks. The rapeseed oil from Tang Gongfang has become an indispensable food ingredient for Chang'an officials, and some wealthy people can spend a lot of money to buy some.

Some Tanggongfang dishes cooked with rapeseed oil have also spread a lot.
