Chapter 30: Sitting on a Bird

After Yu Liben left Luoyang and headed north along Yongji Canal, Xue Chongxun hurriedly prepared a trip and also prepared to leave the Dongdu. The established route was to inspect the Jianghuai Line along Bian Canal (Guangji Canal).

In addition to writing the list of appointed officials into memorials and reporting, he did something quite criticized before leaving: he bought dozens of prostitutes and went south with the boat.

On the surface, of course he said that the journey was long and he took a prostitute to relieve loneliness...

But he actually brought so many things, and he was obsessed with the depth of his feelings. In fact, he was just trying to divert his sight, because he didn't want to go to Jiangnan Road this time.

After the officials below sent the women to the headquarters, Xue Chongxun looked out of curiosity and found that he had no appetite at the moment: most of them were so fat that they could not help, and their fingers were even more baby-like...

Xue Chongxun, who has a modern heart, has no feelings for such a type.

But he still barely kept them. Anyway, their role was to avoid people's eyes and ears, and they didn't have to worry too much about how they looked.

But the official who was doing business was very proud. Xue Chongxun heard him speak behind the screen: The royal family members are so beautiful, I have a strong body and full body. This is a specially selected Ah.

Hearing this, Xue Chongxun wanted to rush out and slap the stupid official twice.

But thinking that the female hooligan Bai Wuchang would walk together for a while, Xue Chongxun calmed down his anger a little.The batch of goods bought by money is really not as good as a female hooligan who doesn't spend money.

Everything was ready. Xue Chongxun loaded a boat with a boat of prostitutes and took a large number of guards. After choosing a good day for travel, he bid farewell to his colleagues and prepared to set sail south.

Officials at all levels in Luoyang were sent to the dock, and several people even wrote poems to Xue Chongxun.

When Xue Chongxun saw the titles of those poems, none of them were famous people such as Li Bai and Du Fu, so he didn't want to read the content of the poems too much, and planned to throw them away after getting on the boat.

Because he saw a poem that said, "An old friend sat down to the south of the Yangtze River." He wondered when I was sitting on a bird?

Later I thought, the word "Zhu" should be written as "Bird"...

These slanted officials are just semi-illiterate and learn to write poetry.

Another local official sent a jar of things, and Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "It's not gold and silver inside, right?"

The official said in surprise: Duke Wei has a clean and honest style, how can I bring a stinky vulgar thing?The medicinal wine soaked in this jar has the effect of strengthening the aphrodisiac and replenishing the essence, so as to prepare for the Duke of Wei to take care of his precious body while being romantic.

Xue Chongxun reviewed and everyone laughed: This medicinal wine is so elegant, how could it be so elegant!

Everyone laughed and agreed for a while, but Xue Chongxun was a little puzzled. Aren’t those farewell poems full of melancholy?Why can everyone be so happy when I parted?

Thinking that this incident might be written into an article by a certain literati to laugh at it, Xue Chongxun hurriedly wiped it with his hand on his face, and immediately made a sad expression. Looking left and right, there were a large group of red and green officials on the shore, and the sedan chair and horses were like flowing water, which was a lively and joyful scene...

He hurriedly looked back at the river surface. He originally wanted to see the scene of Zhiyuan with the long shadow of the lonely sail, but unexpectedly, his luxurious tower ship was standing in front of him, and Yingying YànYàn above waved her handkerchief to wave to him...

Xue Chongxun sighed and said, "You guys are sincere and I will see you again in the future. I am really... Alas, poetry is very exciting."

Liu An took the lead and echoed: Please ask Duke Wei to write a poem on the spot, so that the lower officials can enjoy the blessings.

Xue Chongxun lowered his head and thought that he could not write poems, so he could only plagiarize. The first thing he thought was that the old man had already gone on a yellow crane, and there was nothing left here. But when he thought that this was Luoyang, it was completely unsuitable.

After thinking for a while, I couldn't remember any poem about farewell, so I had to say: I'll sing a song for you.

After he said that, he brewed his emotions and sang as much as possible with reluctance to leave: Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the fragrant grass is connected to the sky.The evening breeze blows the willows and the sound of the flute is gone, the sunset is outside the mountains, the end of the sky and the corners of the earth, and the friendship is half gone.Life is rarely a gathering, but there are many separations...

...At this time, he did not expect that because there were too many people in such public places, the song was recorded, and later sung in brothel kilns, he actually won the name of brothel.

As soon as I sang a passage, I suddenly heard a quiet sound of piano, and the boat behind me came from the tower, making everyone's expressions condense.The sound of the piano is melodious and it is cleverly accompanied by Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun looked back and saw a white-haired girl sitting on the boat building, and the sound of the piano slid out from her fingers.

The river wind blew her silver hair and her dress was raised in the wind, which was so beautiful.

When the officials saw each other, most of the people who didn't know Bai Wuchang thought they were famous prostitutes led by Xue Chongxun, and they were envious at that time.

This is not enviable enough. A female Taoist priest who appeared soon surprised everyone, and some even began to jealous of Xue Chongxun.

Most people don’t know Bai Wuchang, but the reputation of the Yuqing Taoist nun is well-known in the officialdom of Luoyang.

I saw the nun riding a fast horse, not Yuqing, but her face was spotless and spotless, so clean that everyone couldn't help but want to defile it with their own hands...

The key is that there are rumors that this female Taoist priest can do it. Many officials present had been to Shangqing Temple with hope, but they were all flatly rejected, and some were even humiliated.

This made them even more depressed: Xue Chongxun had just arrived in Luoyang for a few days, so how did he get into it?

Xue Lang, please take me with you!Yuqing's tears were spinning in her eyes, but she looked at him with great affection.

Xue Chongxun knew that these tears were not shed for himself, but when he saw such admiring gazes from his colleagues around him, he did not point them out and said with a face: This time I went south to Jiangnan to clear the transportation of the canal and the country and the people, and it was definitely not for fun...

oh!The officials couldn't help but look at the ship full of prostitutes.

Yuqing looked up at the white-haired girl on the boat, and her eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment. Unexpectedly, the sound of the piano suddenly disappeared, and the white-haired girl turned around and disappeared between the gorgeous window.

A large drop of tears finally slid down Yuqing's delicate face. She walked forward two steps in despair, reached out to keep the white touch, but said in a speechless voice: Why are you so heartless? Do I have no place in your heart?I remember every word, every look, every action you said... As long as I can be with you, I don't want anything, and I don't want the Taoist temple left to me by my father, as long as you...

The officials thought she was confessing to Xue Chongxun, and immediately became excited and echoed: Xue Lang wants her!

I guess many people want to say: Damn, if you don’t want it, I want it!

Some people looked at Xue Chongxun with the look of looking at the gods, and wanted to say: Brother Xue, teach me two tricks to pick up girls, please.

Xue Chongxun was surprised when he heard that this ancient female Taoist priest had expressed his feelings so boldly and bluntly, and at the same time he admired him. In this social environment, how brave would he be to speak it out in public despite his reputation and rumors?

Looking at Yuqing's heartbroken look, he sighed.

There are really people in this world who do whatever they want to do for love... Yuqing has never run through the world. She chased her like this, and she has never thought about how she survived in the world?

Xue Chongxun smiled bitterly and said: Have you thought about it?I don't have time to send you back.Once you have thought about it, let’s get on the boat first.

When the guard heard this, he let go of the passage and Yuqing ran to the deck.

Liu An’s official position is almost on par with Xue Chongxun, so he joked: Xue Lang’s methods make me admire him very much.

The ambition in your heart is to govern the country and govern the world.

Xue Chongxun smiled and looked at the river again, sighed, "This vast river and lake is full of intrigue, but only affection makes people worry about it, and there are so many feelings."Let's part here, and we will meet in Fengchi (Imperial Palace) in the future to reminisce about the past.

The officials held tribute to Xue Chongxun one by one. Then Xue Chongxun boarded the boat and stood beside the red-lacquered railing to say goodbye to the officials.

After the tower ship set sail, Xue Chongxun didn't care about the women and prostitutes, and immediately summoned Fang Yuzhong and other confidants to take out the canal map, plan to get off the boat, and how to go straight to Youzhou by land.
