There is no phoenix

After a while, the old man had quickly made the real portraits of the eight people. Shui Rong and Liu Xianglian both picked up their own statues and looked at them carefully, and said with a smile, "It's kind of interesting!"

Liu Xianglian asked the old man to wrap up those statues, put them in a box, and asked, "Old man, how much are these?"

The old man smiled and said: "Girls and girls, just give me two taels of silver. In Dezhou, I have lived for such a long time, and I have never seen such handsome boys and girls like you."

Liu Xianglian was about to give money, but Shui Rong hurriedly stopped her and said, "Xianglian, let Shui'an give it. Shui'an, give this old man five taels, it's not easy for this old man!"

Daiyu quickly smiled and said to Xichun: "We all listen to Mr. Shui, who said he is a master, we are girls!"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Sister Daiyu, you are talking about changing into men's clothes first, if you really change into men's clothes, I am afraid that the old man will think that he is dazzled, how can you buy so many clay dolls?"

Xichun heard this, and said with a smile: "Young master brother-in-law, when you guys come out, you just want to eat meat and drink. We don't like it. We think these are fun."

Daiyu also laughed and said, "Fourth sister is right. How can it be so interesting to go out and only buy food. Wouldn't it be better for us to buy what we like first, and then buy some food to take home and eat slowly? Now If I buy food and eat it standing on the street, I might as well not eat it!"

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Sister Daiyu, I didn't say that I would stand on the street and eat like this, because not only you, but we would all find it really unsightly. Let's find a quiet place later, choose what we like and eat slowly, isn't it? not good?"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "If that's the case, won't it be too late for us to go back?"

Shui Rong said: "What's the matter, Miss Lin, don't worry, anyway, the boat will stay here overnight."

So several people talked and laughed again and moved forward.

The crowd strolled around for about half an hour, and Caiping Xueyan already carried a large bag of things in their hands.

Seeing a restaurant in front of him, Shui Rong said with a smile: "Let's go there to eat something now, and bring our favorite food back to the boat on the way back, and we can taste it again at night."

Although Daiyu and Xichun didn't really want to eat, they didn't feel tired when they walked around just now. Now they stopped, they felt a little tired, so they all nodded in agreement.

So a group of people entered the restaurant, and the water-soluble Liu Xianglian asked the shopkeeper to make several plates of Texas-style dishes and a pot of local wine. They ate and laughed.

Daiyu smiled and said to Xichun: "Fourth sister, I remember that when my grandmother asked you to paint the Grand View Garden, you asked me to name it, and I said 'carrying locusts and chewing'. From our experience today, after returning, the four My younger sister can draw a picture of 'shopping with my grandfather' again."

Xichun heard this, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, your mouth is just like Grandma Liu's. It hurts my stomach from laughing!"

Zijuan Xueyan Color Screen couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Shui Rong and Liu Xianglian Shui'an were eating. Seeing that Daiyu Xichun and the others were all smiling, they hurriedly asked, "Grandma Liu? Sister Daiyu won't say that the three of us eat like old women, right?"

Daiyu Xichun and the others couldn't stop laughing when they heard this.

After a while, Daiyu stopped laughing, looked at Shui Rong and said, "Brother Rong, Brother Liu, Shui'an, don't worry too much, I mean, there are so many interesting and happy things because of eating." .Now we are far away from our own home, not a family, but more like a family. We can eat what we want and say what we want. If there are more times like this in life, it would be great!"

After hearing this, Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Sister Daiyu, it's not difficult. If I have free time in the future, I dare not promise to go out once a year for a few times a year. I'm afraid it's not difficult. Then invite Ziying and Miao Sister Yuhuang, it is entirely possible for more than a dozen of us to visit the famous cities in the southeast, north, south, and north of the Celestial Dynasty hand in hand!"

Liu Xianglian said: "There will always be gains and losses in life. I have been a monk with my master in the past few years. Although life is hard, the freedom like a wild crane in the clouds and the chicness of traveling around mountains, rivers and suburbs are what many people yearn for. "

Shui Rong nodded and said: "That's exactly the reason. Thinking about the complicated world and enjoying the family relationship is a rare chic. But making contributions, serving the country with loyalty, and displaying the passionate feelings of a good man are another kind of state of mind."

After they had eaten, Liu Xianglian bought a few cooked chickens and a big bag of donkey meat when they came out of the restaurant. Daiyu also bought a full five catties of jujubes, worth two bags.

Shui Rong was puzzled and asked, "Sister Daiyu, why did you buy so many dates?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother Rong, what do you know, I have this bag, you bring it to your mother and concubine to taste, she naturally knows how to eat."

Shui Rong said: "You girls like to eat dates?"

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "My young lord doesn't know, but the dates from Dezhou are famous all over the world. These dates are steamed and eaten, and they are the most nourishing for women. If you can make soup with an old hen, it will be the most nourishing for women."

Only then did Shui Rong understand, and said with a smile: "Sister Daiyu, my mother and concubine will be so happy when you give it away like this!"

So Daiyu and his party brought the things they had bought for shopping, and they walked towards the ferry talking and laughing.

As soon as everyone arrived at the pier, they saw two very festive large ships decorated with red silk moored on the shore connected to the official ship.Liu Xianglian said: "Looking at this kind of boat, it should be a boat for a rich family to see off or pick up relatives."

Several people boarded the boat, but Daiyu suddenly stood still and said, "Brother Rong, just take a look, is that brother Li Tai standing on the bow of that boat?"

Shui Rong took a look, and said pleasantly, "Sister Daiyu, it's Li Tai. Could it be the boat where Princess Nanning got married?"

After Shui Rong said this, everyone looked carefully at the festive boat decorated with many red cloths and red lanterns, and saw that Li Tai was talking to a few followers.

Shui Rong surprised and said to Daiyu: "Sister Daiyu, it must be the boat of Princess Nanning and her relatives, I'll go and have a look!"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, you go there first, just say that my fourth sister and I want to see the princess. If not, I'm afraid we will never see our third sister again in this life!"

Shui Rong said: "Okay, you guys get on the boat first, don't stand here at the ferry, it's very windy here, Shui'an and I will go and have a look."

After Shui Rong finished speaking, he took Shui'an and walked over there.

But it was said that Li Tai escorted Tanchun and his party, which happened to be parked here at this time.Since it was already dusk and there were many people on board, he needed to buy supplies here, so Li Tai decided to stay here for one night, let the boatman dock, and ordered the guards to strengthen their vigilance at night.

Seeing Shui Rong and Shui An, Li Tai was very surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shui Rong.Shui Rong smiled and said: "Brother Li, sister Daiyu recognized you at a glance, otherwise we would have missed it if we were so close."

Li Tai smiled and said, "Is it God's will to meet Daiyu's younger sister and the young prince here?"

As Li Tai said, he hurriedly asked Shui Rong Shui'an to sit in the cabin, and talked about everything about leaving the capital, as well as the matter of seeing off the relatives, Shui Rong said: "Brother Li, sister Daiyu wants to see Princess Nanning, and I also want to see Princess Nanning. The princess can also be said to be my sister, I wonder if it is convenient?"

Li Taidao: "To tell you the truth, Princess Nanning once said when she left the capital that she hoped to see Sister Daiyu on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. She said that if the old sisters could see each other for the last time, they would have no regrets in their lives. I Go and tell her yourself!"

Shui Rong said: "Brother Li, are you staying here tonight? If that's the case, don't worry about it for now, because we also want to stay here for one night. We are on the official ship back to Beijing. We will arrive on your ship later. Come to eat, I will introduce you a good brother, let's get together tonight!"

When Li Tai heard this, he naturally liked it.Shui Rong then talked about Liu Xianglian, Li Tai said: "It seems that Brother Liu is indeed a good man, young prince, then it's settled, I'll let the cook go down to prepare."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "To tell the truth, Brother Li, we just came back from a visit to Dezhou, we bought a lot of food, why don't I ask Shui'an to get some here?"

Li Tai hurriedly said: "No need for this, many people on our boat have already gone down to buy it. Young prince, how about I ask those stewards to come and pay a visit?"

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Forget it, brother Li, I don't like red tape, we rarely meet again today, and the sisters are the same, if the stewards on the ship are disturbed, how can we get together comfortably? You don't know, except sister Daiyu, There is also a good sister of a Nanning girl who is with us. The princess and I are brothers and sisters, sister Daiyu and the princess are sisters, and you are not an outsider. Just now sister Daiyu said that leaving home is not a family. Like a family, let's enjoy this family relationship tonight!"

Li Taidao: "That's fine, just follow the young prince. I'll tell the princess right now, the young prince wait here for a while!"

Soluble nodded.

After a while, I saw Tanchun coming with Li Tai, supported by his servant.Seeing Shui Rong, Tanchun hurriedly approached and saluted Shui Rong: "Nanning pays homage to Brother Four!"

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "You don't have to be like this. I didn't expect that we could meet here. Sister Daiyu is on that boat, and there is another person who will surprise you and also wants to meet you. I will bring you Come!"

After hearing this, Tanchun hurriedly said, "Thank you, brother Sihuang. After leaving my homeland and country, I can still see my former good sisters. I have no regrets in this life!"

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Young sister don't need to be sad. For the sake of the peace between the two countries, it is the blessing of my heavenly dynasty and the people of Li to wrong myself for the sake of peace between the two countries. Please wait here for a while, I will go and call sister Daiyu over!"

Li Taidao: "My lord, I will go there with you!"

When Shui Rong and Li Tai came together in front of Daiyu Xichun, Daiyu opened her eyes in surprise and said, "Brother Li Tai, when I saw your back, I knew it must be you."

Li Tai smiled and said: "Sister Daiyu's temper is the same as that in Yangzhou back then. I am very happy to see this happy. Just now I told the young prince that we will have a good get-together on our boat tonight. Brothers and sisters, a rare gathering!"

Daiyu pulled Xichun to greet Li Tai and said, "Brother Li Tai, we want to see Third Sister right now. Since she went to Nan'an Palace, Fourth Sister and I haven't seen her!"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Okay, you guys wait here a moment, I'll call Xianglian, we'll go there together."

For a while, Shui Rong pulled Liu Xianglian over. Li Tai had already heard about Liu Xianglian from Shui Rong, and now seeing that Liu Xianglian was as handsome as Shui Rong, with a kind of chivalry, he suddenly paid respect, and saluted, "I've heard about Brother Liu for a long time. Daming, it's a great honor to meet you today!"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Tai and said: "General Li won the championship in the school and became famous all over the world. Xianglian is even more fortunate to see her!"

Shui Rong said with a smile: "Brother Li, Xianglian, let's go to the boat over there. Their sisters meet again, and our brothers are newly reunited. Wouldn't it be better to have a good drink and chat?"

So the three of them went there with Shui'an, only to see Daiyu Xichun was already waiting in front.

Li Tai smiled and said to Shui Rong: "The young prince is so powerful, he can make sister Daiyu as happy as when she was in Yangzhou, so I can feel at ease."

Shui Rong also smiled and said: "So Brother Li must quickly find a girl he likes, so that sister Daiyu and I can feel at ease. My position in sister Daiyu's heart cannot be replaced by brother Li, but in sister Daiyu's heart, it will always be there. I can't take Brother Li's place, and sometimes I envy you!"

Shui Rong Li Tai and his party came to the boat to send off their relatives, only to see Tan Chun trotting over, embracing Dai Yu and Xi Chun, weeping with joy.

What Tanchun didn't expect was that Xichun would be with Daiyu.Tanchun took Daiyu with one arm and Xichun with the other, and said, "Sister Lin, sister four, let's go to the cabin, I thought I was dreaming!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "When I was shopping just now, I thought that if my fourth sister and I could see my third sister on this Grand Canal, I don't know what will happen. If we do what people want today, we will have a good gathering !"

After a while, the cabin was full of laughter and laughter. Sisters Daiyu Tanchun and Xichun renew the friendship between Jinlan and Xueyan. It is also very happy to go to Anbang to settle the country, and then talk about the world.

When a bright moon rises, many dishes have been placed in the cabin.Everyone poured wine into their bowls, although Daiyu Tanchun Xichun only poured a little, they were all slowly savoring.

Liu Xianglian said: "I didn't expect that once I, Liu Xianglian, said that I would become vulgar, I would be lucky enough to encounter such things as you guys. I'm here to cheer everyone up, I hope you don't feel disgusted!"

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, she stood up, took out a flute on her back, and said with a smile: "Moonlight night on the Spring River, you can't live without a flute." Then she played a song.

Everyone listened attentively. The melodious sound of the flute made people see the charming Jiangnan thousands of miles away: the oriole is singing happily, and the clusters of green trees reflect clusters of red flowers; , Wine flags waving in the wind, one by one in sight.

Liu Xianglian played very well, and the melodious sound of the flute sounded in this endless spring night, making everyone's hearts sway.

When the song was over, everyone was amazed.

Li Taidao: "I didn't expect Brother Liu to play the flute so well!"

Liu Xianglian sat down, raised her glass with a smile, and said, "I, Liu Xianglian, am a prodigal son. Tonight I borrow flowers to present Buddha, and toast everyone a bowl of wine. The future will last forever, and I hope we can encourage each other!"

Everyone lifted up their wine and took a sip, Daiyu quietly said to Tanchun, "Third sister, do you think this Liu Xianglian will be our fourth brother-in-law, okay?"

Looking at the eyes of Xichun and Liu Xianglian just now, Tanchun also guessed something, nodded and said: "Only such a person is worthy of fourth sister."

After Tanchun finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Of our sisters in the Grand View Garden, only Sister Lin and Fourth Sister can get along with each other. Fortunately, God has eyes and will not make us sisters unhappy!"

Seeing that Tanchun was feeling sad, Daiyu hurriedly said: "Third sister, life and destiny sometimes have twists and turns. For example, Baoqin and Xiangling, if I tell their stories, you will never believe it."

Tanchun hurriedly asked why.Daiyu realized that it was impossible for Tanchun to return to the capital, so she married Xiangling on her behalf. The Baoqin brothers and sisters tried hard to make Xiangling finally find a home and find her biological mother.After hearing this, Tanchun was amazed.

Daiyu said: "Third sister, maybe you don't even know that Baoqin and Xiangling are able to return to their hometowns in such a peaceful way, and it was Xia Jingui who did this kind of good deed by accident. So looking at it now, people's marriages are all It was decided early. Sister Bao’s elder brother is so unbearable, but he is really the best to Sister Bao, and he meets Xia Jingui who is willing to marry him; He also did such a righteous thing to help Baoqin through a catastrophe. Xiangling helped Baoqin out of righteousness, and Baoqin helped Xiangling find relatives and return home. Now Baoqin can return to Jinling freely, and Xiangling finally reunited with her biological mother. There is also luck in the misfortune of the two of them!"

Tanchun nodded and said: "So I went to Annan to get married. Although I was very helpless, but I remembered the embarrassment when I was at home, and I faced everything calmly. But I am afraid that I admire the fourth sister very much. She dares to say and do it. Although the sisters The fourth younger sister is the youngest, but she is the only one who can do such a bold thing!"
