Tanhualang

After watching the juggling, the boat walked along the water for a while. The boats on the river kept coming and going. Occasionally, a brightly lit painting floated by, and there were bursts of singing and dancing on the boat.Most of them are small boats, some are full of wine jars, some are snacks, and some of them are full of fresh flowers, such as tung blossoms, Lingxiaojie, impatiens, crape myrtle, rhododendrons, roses, roses, and so on. There is a large bunch of lotus flowers inserted in the bucket, and glass lanterns are hung on the boat. The fragrance of the flowers comes from a long distance away with the wind from the river.

When meeting with the flower boat, Zhao Heng put down his wine glass and said: "This flower is so fragrant." Shen Jing listened, smiled and squeezed a piece of silver from the change on the table, turned around and shouted at the flower boat, The money was thrown into the hands of the ship's sister: "A few of each kind."

"Okay!" The ship's sister was picking and picking on the boat neatly, and quickly picked a big handful, and stretched out her hand to pass it here.Shen Jing turned around and took it, hugging her arms full, piled it on the side of the table, and said to Xiao You: "You can smell the fragrance, or use it as a prize."

He thought that Xiao You would definitely snatch it and throw it on the stage, but Xiao You seemed to have calmed down now, not as vigorous as before: "Okay. You guys watch me throw it later."

Quiet and careful, he heard something wrong with his tone, and looked at his face, which was pale in the night, so he turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao You paused, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." It's just that the smile is a bit forced.

Zhao Heng, who had been sitting across from him, suddenly said, "Are you seasick?"

Xiao You still smiled and said: "I'm a little dizzy... But it's okay, it's probably because I drank too much. I think it will be better to relax later. Your Highness don't care about me, I haven't played enough yet."

After Shen Jing listened, she looked back at the river and saw that there were also wine sellers, so she called out: "Boatman!"

The boat slowly swayed over with the wine jar in response to the sound, and asked quietly, "Is there any tea and sweet soup?"

"I don't have tea, but I have sweet soup, eight treasures, sweet-scented osmanthus and white fungus, red beans and mung beans, and fermented glutinous rice balls. Which one do you want?"

Shen Jing asked the price, and threw a handful of copper coins over: "Babao's red beans, mung beans, and fermented rice balls. I've rounded up these three items. Give me the jars together."

He gave the money neatly, and the boatman agreed readily, handing him the jars, bowls and spoons one by one.Shen Jing washed the bowls and spoons with wine, and put a bowl of sweet soup in front of Zhao Heng and Xiao You.

Zhao Heng picked it up and took a sip: "Not bad."

Xiaoyou raised it to his mouth, but put it down again, forced a smile and said: "...I really can't drink it anymore. I was too full just now, and I don't have much appetite."

Zhao Heng glanced at him, then turned his head and ordered Wei Zheng: "Send Xiaoyou back to the mansion."

Wei Zheng nodded his head: "Yes."

Xiao You didn't want to spoil Zhao Heng's interest: "Your Highness, I—"

Zhao Heng interrupted him: "The feeling of seasickness is bad. Go back and rest."

"……Yes."

The boat stopped on the shore, Xiao You must have been dizzy, stood trembling for a few times before standing up, Shen Jing also stood up and said: "Your Highness, why don't Wei Xiaowei stay here, I'll see you off—"

Before the words were finished, Wei Zheng squatted down and directly carried Xiaoyou on his back, supporting Xiaoyou with his left hand and the stone railing on the bank with his right hand, and he jumped to the shore with a light jump.Shen Jing had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips, and looked back at Zhao Heng: "...Then let me row the oar."

He walked to the bow of the boat, set up two oars following Wei Zheng's example, and tried to shake them, but to no avail. After shaking for a long time, the boat turned around slowly, and hit the embankment with a "bang".

Zhao Heng spilled the soup in his bowl and looked up at Shen Jing.

Shen Jing let go of her hand in embarrassment, took out her handkerchief and handed it over carefully: "...His Highness, Your Highness."

Seeing them stranded on the shore from a long distance, Sun Ping ordered someone to bring the boat over: "Why don't I send someone over to row the boat."

Zhao Heng put down the soup bowl, stood up, took the handkerchief and wiped it twice: "No need."

He went straight to the bow of the boat, took over the two oars, and said quietly without looking back, "Sit back."

Shen Jing had no choice but to walk to the other side without embarrassment, and sat down at the coffee table again.

The night is getting darker, the sky is clear, the half moon is shining brightly, and the river surface is shimmering.There are countless small boats passing by, Shen Jing looked carefully, and found that none of the boatmen on board could match Zhao Heng's unrestrained demeanor—as a boatman, his demeanor is really extraordinary.

Sitting quietly on the boat, waiting for the boat to leave.

Zhao Heng slowly pushed the oars.

... However, it turns out that the boat is not so easy to row.The boat was like a leaf, spinning quietly on the water, and then leaned back to the shore.Probably because Zhao Heng used more force, the "bang" sound was louder than before.

Shen Jing was shaken by the shock and almost fell into the river.

It's a beautiful night, with singing and dancing on the side, beautiful women in front of you, moonlight chasing the water, and cool breeze. ...But Shen Jing sat on the boat, but she was full of anxiety, she didn't even dare to lift her head, she didn't know whether she should go to help Zhao Heng or just stay still.

In the end, he still didn't make a sound, and slowly bent down, pretending to arrange the scattered bouquet on the ground, and couldn't help laughing with the corner of his mouth covered by the night.

...then the boat moved again.

Shen Jing stopped his movements, and quietly grabbed the template inside the side of the boat with both hands. Sure enough, the boat turned around again, and hit the river bank again with a "bang".

Shen Jing still didn't dare to look at Zhao Heng, but she quietly raised her head to look at Sun Ping's boat not far away. Seeing that Sun Ping didn't pay attention to the movement here, and was holding a wine bowl and concentrating on watching the stage on the other side of the river, she quietly relaxed. Take a breath.

"Bang", the boat turned around again.

When turning to the fourth lap, Shen Jing felt that she was about to get seasick, and finally couldn't help but stand up staggeringly, walked to the middle of the boat, cleared her throat, and pretended not to see Zhao Heng's face as dark as the bottom of a pot: "... ...Your Highness, why don't you just watch the show here and wait for Captain Wei to come back. If we go far away, I'm afraid he won't be able to find anyone when he comes back."

Zhao Heng paused when he pushed the scull, let go of the scull, let go of the scull, and sat back on the coffee table.Shen Jing served him a bowl of sweet soup, then turned around and washed the handkerchief with the water in the river and handed it to Zhao Heng: "Your Highness, wipe your hands."

Zhao Heng took it with a stern face, wiped his hands clean, took another sip of the sweet soup, and followed Shen Jing to look at the opposite stage.

The gongs and drums on the opposite stage were very lively.Zhao Heng absentmindedly listened to a few lines of the play, which vaguely sounded like the Three Kingdoms burning Chibi, Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind, and Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai.Annoyed in his heart, when he was looking at the opposite stage, he suddenly found out of the corner of his eye that Shen Jing was sitting opposite him, while turning his head to look at the opposite stage on the river bank, his shoulders were shaking slightly; few times.

Zhao Heng couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "Quiet!"

Shen Jing opened her eyes wide, and slowly turned her head: "Your Highness?"

"Are you laughing at Gu?"

"..." Shen Jing paused, tried his best to suppress a smile with a straight face, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, "...No, no, Your Highness."

Zhao Heng stared at him, but there was no anger in those beautiful Danfeng eyes: "Are you blind alone?"

Who knew that this sentence was not finished, so he couldn't help but smile with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Shen Miao'an, you are so courageous. You only know how to watch a good show from the sidelines, but you don't know how to go to help. How dare you laugh at this meeting solitary."

It was only then that Shen Jing dared to laugh softly: "Your Highness, forgive me. I'm really not good at rowing a boat. But since Your Highness has an order, why don't I go into the water and push it for a while? Anyway, the water doesn't look deep, at most it will drown up to the neck—”

"Shut up." Zhao Heng scolded him with a smile, "Take a good look at the show and wait for Wei Zheng to come."

"Why don't you call Sun Shangshu?"

"Don't call him that." Zhao Heng poured a glass of wine on his own, and also poured it for Shen Jing, and said with a smile, "This guy is the one who has a bad mouth. If he knows about it, he might go around talking about it for ten years." Can't make it through."

That's quite disgusting, wouldn't it be detrimental to the face of the upright and majestic Prince Yu?Shen Jing slandered, and then responded honestly: "Yes. Then wait for the Wei Xiaowei."

The two of them didn't know how to row a boat, so they simply let the boat drift along with the soft waves on the river, and they drifted for a long time before reaching the next stage.Without Xiaoyou and Wei Zheng, there would be no excitement on the boat, but with the breeze and bright moon accompanied by the boats on the river, the two of them sat facing each other on the boat, quietly watching the show and drinking wine, it was not a pleasant feeling.

The wine on the boat was prepared by Sun Ping. It is said that it is fruit wine brewed by a special method from the Western Regions. The wine tastes weak, but it is wrapped in a sweet and fruity aroma. After drinking one cup after another, I gradually became a little drunk.

Zhao Heng is also not as dignified and steady as when he was sitting at the beginning. He leans leisurely on the side of the ship, with his left hand on his knees and a wine glass in his right hand. By the light of the wind lantern at the bow, Shen Jing's eyes are as moist as water, and his cheeks are full of peach blossoms. He was a little drunk, so he couldn't help reminding with a slight smile: "This wine is sweet and refreshing, but it has a lot of stamina. Be careful not to get drunk."

Shen Jing was as good as he was, and immediately stopped the wine glass, and took out the sweet soup from the jar to drink slowly.

It was nearly three o'clock, and indeed, as Sun Ping said, the later the time, the more lively the river became, and there was an endless stream of boats coming and going.There were also more boats moored in front of the stage, and they gradually filled up half of the river, half of them were tourists who came out to have fun, and half of them were hawkers selling snacks.

The two people's boats were gradually squeezed to the side of the river by the fast-moving boats, and they got stuck in a bunch of boats watching the theater.Shen Jing was still a little worried at first, and looked around, and found that Sun Ping and a group of escort boats were also parked not far away, so she was relieved and calmly watched the show on stage.

The stage here seems to be a new play; there are many troupes from all over the south of the Yangtze River, so there are also many new plays being rehearsed.Shen Jing put half of her mind on the stage, half of her mind on Zhao Heng, looked at the stage twice, and then turned around to fill Zhao Heng's glass with wine.After looking at it, my eyes couldn't help but rest on the boat next to me.

The boat was parked next to them, only a foot away.There is also a table on the boat, on which there are wine jugs, wine glasses, a bundle of lotus flowers and a pile of lotus pods, and two young men sit facing each other.

Both of them were wearing Luo shirts, the one on the left couldn't see his face clearly in the light blue shirt, while the young man on the right was wearing a scarlet cross-collar, but his appearance was very outstanding. Even with rouge, she looks even more charming.

Everyone has a love of beauty, so Shen Jing couldn't help but looked back over there a few more times, and saw the person in the blue shirt on the left peeling the lotus pod with a smile, peeling off the lotus seeds and putting them on the table in front of him, after a while There is a pile of lotus seeds on the table.

Looking at the pile of pure white lotus seeds, he was feeling a bit greedy when he saw the handsome young man in scarlet clothes stand up and carefully move to the left, sitting side by side with the young man in blue shirt.Shen Jing was about to turn around, but saw the beautiful boy in the crimson shirt turned around and approached the blue shirt young man, raised his head with a smile, and whispered something in the blue shirt man's ear.

He couldn't help being stunned, and then saw the man in the blue shirt smile and feed a snow-white lotus seed into the mouth of the boy in the scarlet shirt, and then slowly approached, under the cover of the night, kissing the red lips of the other party. He licked it lightly, very ambiguous and intimate.

Shen Jing was so startled that he dropped the bowl in his hand, and the porcelain bowl fell on the board of the boat with a muffled sound, and he suddenly came back to his senses and turned around in a panic.Unexpectedly, when he met Zhao Heng's dark eyes, he panicked again, and immediately turned his eyes to the side. After a while, he slowly picked up the jug with lowered eyes, and poured wine to cover up the embarrassment just now.

After putting down the wine jug, he realized belatedly that the two were on the boat behind him, and Zhao Heng was sitting directly opposite him.Since he had seen the Do Not See Evil on the boat just now, and Zhao Heng was facing them, why couldn't he see it?It's just that he can see it more clearly.
