It is said that fireworks will go down in Yangzhou in March. People who have never seen it will never know what kind of scenery Yangzhou is like in March. As the river flowed by, the willows by the riverside stood in two rows. When the wind blew, the willow catkins would blow into the smoke, causing one or two people to stop by the roadside to watch, and one or two people to sneeze once or twice.
The flowers in the Asakusa by the river are like a brocade, and pedestrians walking on the road can smell the faint fragrance, and they are unconsciously relaxed physically and mentally. This is always the case in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is like the middle of a painting, and the people are like the people in the painting.
There is a painting boat parked by the river, it is likely that it will stay nearby for a while, the singing of a woman and the faint sound of a piano can be heard from the painting boat.
Generally speaking, tourists who come to the south of the Yangtze River and those who have more money will choose to sit on this painting boat and go sightseeing along the river. Because of this, in addition to seeing the scenery of the river, you can also watch the dance and music on the boat. The singing and dancing will always emphasize the color of the south of the Yangtze River.
On a painting building on the painting boat, a middle-aged man is sitting in the desk drinking wine. He is wearing a black robe, and a few strands of gold thread are embroidered on the edge of the robe, which makes the originally inconspicuous black look more pleasing. A bit luxurious.
Judging from his attire and attire, he must be a nobleman somewhere, or a wealthy merchant, so when he first boarded the boat, he was given the best position and care in the boat.
However, the people who painted the boat still underestimated the identity of this person, he was not just a nobleman or a wealthy businessman.
This Jiangnan wine is like the people from Jiangnan, warm and long. If you drink too much spirits, you can have a taste of this kind of wine for a while, and it will have a special flavor.
The middle-aged man sips the wine in the glass carefully, letting his spirits fade away, unable to bear to wake up. Sitting down and playing silk and bamboo, he squinted his eyes comfortably and looked out of the window, looking at the willows and flowers on the bank outside the window.
In the past, he came to Yangzhou once, and he remembered it at that time. This time he came here for the second time, and he was still not bored at all, but even more intoxicated.
Seeing him looking out the window, a person beside him bowed down and whispered beside him.
"Your Majesty, my lord, but I don't like this song and dance, why don't I ask someone to change the batch?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand without looking back.
"No need, the singing and dancing are very good, but no matter how good the singing and dancing is, how can it compare to the scenery of Yangzhou?"
There were catkins and flowers swaying on the riverside outside the window. He looked at it with satisfaction, and took another sip of wine.
After the Wei Dynasty, Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty. During his reign, the people's livelihood was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the government was stable, creating a prosperous situation in the reign of Kaihuang. Then, his son Yang Guang succeeded to the throne. In the first year of Daye, Yang Guang went on a tour and then visited Yangzhou.
On the bank of the river, willows and willows are swaying, and the weeping branches are flicking the river surface, causing waves of clear waves to appear on the river surface.
Gu Nan was lying under the willow tree, with a bamboo hat on his head, covering his face. The blue shirt on his body was slightly wrinkled, and there was some dirt on the ground, with his arms folded in front of his body, it seemed that he was lying here taking a nap.
She also just arrived in Yangzhou, and it is always a good time to come to Jiangnan at this time of year.
When the passers-by saw the person lying under the tree, no one stepped forward to disturb him.
She lay there and slept leisurely, the wind was warm and the sun was warm, and spring always made people lazy.
But for some reason, Gu Nan had just slept for a while, when a person suddenly came up on the road, a woman, causing passers-by on the road to look back unconsciously.
She was wearing plain clothes, her long hair was tied in a simple bun behind her, and there was no rouge pink on her face, but she was still eye-catching under this light makeup. With elegant eyebrows and a pair of peach-colored eyes, she is a beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River.
The woman's lips parted slightly, and she called out to Gu Nan who was lying under the willow tree.
"Gu Lang."
There was some softness in the call.
Immediately, all the men walking on the road cast envious glances at Gu Nan.
But Gu Nan didn't respond, as if he was in a deep sleep.
The woman strode over and squatted beside Gu Nan.
She looked at Gu Nan for a while, pulled up a piece of grass from the ground, reached out and picked up the bamboo hat covering her face, and poked her face with the tip of the grass.
"Why didn't you answer me when you didn't sleep?"
Gu Nan opened his eyes helplessly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
She didn't know this woman, but it could be said that she knew her. Her eyes fell on the corner of her eye, where there was a mole.
Looking away, Gu Nan said lightly.
"If you're too lazy to answer, you shouldn't."
Just now when she fell asleep, this woman came, she didn't hear the slightest footsteps, she didn't know anything else, in this world, if there is no footsteps, there should be only one guy besides her.
She remembered that she had not seen him for hundreds of years since she left the mountain where she lived in seclusion with Qi'er. Unexpectedly, this time, she turned into a woman again.
"Why don't you bother to answer?" the woman asked puzzled.
"You call me Gu Lang, how do you want me to respond?" Gu Nan curled his mouth, sat up from under the tree, looked at the woman and asked.
"What are you doing here?"
"I guessed you might be here when I passed by, so I came to see you."
As the woman said, she turned her head, looked at the scenery on both sides of the river, stared blankly for a while and said, "The scenery here is very beautiful."
Gu Nan took back the bamboo hat in her hand and put it back on her head: "It's not as good as you, a natural and man-made disaster."
There was a lot of estrangement in the voice.
The woman was silent for a while, then turned her gaze away from the scenery: "Are you still blaming me?"
Not hearing Gu Nan's answer, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she raised her head and asked Gu Nan: "How do you apologize to others?"
Gu Nan was taken aback by her question, and the woman suddenly smiled and said.
"Why don't I dance for you? I saw you dance for King Qin. He looks very happy."
As soon as his forehead turned black, Gu Nan pressed down on his bamboo hat.
Is this exposing my ugliness...
Without waiting for Gu Nan to answer, the woman walked slowly to the river, just as the music was heard from the boat in the river, she raised one hand, wanting to dance.
When the wind blows by the river, the catkins scatter in all directions, and the eyes of passers-by on the road are all looking at this side. The picturesque scenery is picturesque.
On the painting boat, when the middle-aged man in the painting building looked at the shore, his eyes suddenly stopped.
He saw a woman standing by the river, wearing plain clothes with fluttering sleeves.
The woman turned her head slightly, and he saw her clearly, and when he looked back, it seemed to overshadow all the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
In front of a painting stall by the roadside, a scholar selling paintings saw the people by the river, stared blankly for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly spread out a new scroll, rubbed his ink and began to draw.
Everyone by the river seems to be looking at this woman, but the woman is only looking at one person, dancing the dance she saw her dancing back then.
