The surface of the river was filled with dense fog and a vast expanse of whiteness. Looking forward through the vast smoke, a dazzling cloud and mountains are entangled together. The thick clouds are as heavy as mountains, and the distant mountains are as light as clouds. It is unclear whether it is a cloud or a mountain. The wind blew the clouds away, and the mountains and lush trees appeared again.
Standing on the deck, Liu'er looked at the scenery with both hands propped on the railing, staring intently.
Seeing Liu'er like this, Feng Zhixi smiled and said, "The scenery here is very different from the northwest and Beijing."
Liu Er said: "It's really different."
After speaking, Liuer looked at a mountain in the distance and said, "Do you think that mountain is like an old man with a cane?"
"Haha, it's really a bit like!" He had been to Jiangnan before, but he was hurrying on the road, so there was no time to enjoy the scenery. Of course, he has no such interest when he has time. Even now it is to cooperate with Liuer, he feels that the mountains and rivers are not worth seeing.
After half a month's boat ride, they finally arrived in Jinling. Entering Jinling City, looking at the crowded bazaar, Liu'er said: "Brother You said that Jinling's prosperity is not inferior to that of the capital. It seems that this is true."
"This place is much more prosperous than it was when I was back then." The last time I came here was a war, and the chaos of the year had just ended, and it hasn't recovered its vitality. If it has been calmed down for several years today, the weather has been smooth in recent years. The people's life is very good, so this Jinling City is a prosperous one.
Jiaojiao said bitterly, "Mother, I'm hungry." Although the food on the boat was good, it couldn't compare with home.
Feng Zhixi took her mother and daughter to the best inn in Jinling City to pack a small courtyard.
When staying in the inn, Liuer ordered the dishes himself and added a few snacks, one of which was duck blood vermicelli soup.
At first, Feng Zhixi didn’t know. When the food was served, he saw two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup. He asked in amazement, “Aren’t you not eating these things?” Liuer was very picky for eating. No touch.
Liu'er smiled and said, "Ayou made a list for me and told me to eat the things on it when I get to Jiangnan. Otherwise, I will regret it." Brother You said, if I came to Jiangnan and didn't eat him These recommended delicacies have come to Jiangnan for nothing. Liu'er still believed what You said.
Seeing that she didn't have her share, Jiaojiao said hurriedly, "Father and mother, I want to eat too."
"You are indispensable." I hope this thing is as delicious as Brother You said.
After taking two bites, Feng Zhixi said, "The taste is okay, but it's not amazing."
"It's not very delicious. But Brother You said that there is a duck blood vermicelli soup restaurant in Xinkou Street, which tastes very good. If you come to Jinling and don't eat the Yamen fans of this restaurant, you will come to Jinling for nothing." Liuer didn't want to eat after two bites, but she had been educated since she was not to waste food, so she pushed the bowl to Feng Zhixi.
Jiaojiao also pushed her small bowl to Feng Zhixi. As a result, after eating duck blood fans, Feng Zhixi couldn't eat anything else. So that in the afternoon Liuer said he was going to the duck blood soup shop in Xinkou Street, but he was not at all interested.
This shop has no boxes, only ten tables. At this time there were also many guests, but none of them was a woman. Liuer came in without a drapery hat, and naturally became the focus.
When Feng Zhixi saw everyone staring at Liu'er, if he just thought Liu'er was pretty, just look at it more. But there were two particularly wretched appearances inside, and all of them would come out. This made Feng Zhixi unhappy.
Feng Zhixi was not a person of tolerance, and said viciously: "What do you look at? Look at me to dig out your eyeballs." He didn't directly kick it out. It was a good temper.
The two wretched guys looked at Feng Zhixi in a Chinese dress with a long sword, and knew that this was a noble man, but didn't dare to offend him, they stood up and wanted to go out.
Xiao Er in the shop stopped the two and said, "I haven't paid yet! A total of sixty cents." Two bowls of duck blood fans will not be so expensive, and the two ordered dishes.
The two paid the money and hurried away.
Erhe walked over and gave the owner a dozen silver dollars and said, "When they finish eating, don't let other people in." He didn't directly drive away the person who was eating, and he didn't want to be too domineering.
After sitting down, Liu Er said: "Smelling this makes me very appetite."
Feng Zhixi nodded. After eating two bowls of duck blood at noon, the fans did not expect at all, but he was a little hungry after smelling the fragrance.
Soon, duck blood fans were sent up. The emerald green coriander, the glittering fans, the ups and downs of duck gizzards, duck intestines, and duck livers, look very sultry.
Seeing Feng Zhixi clipped a piece of duck blood to eat, Liuer hurriedly stopped him and said: "First take a bite of the soup, then take a bite of the fans, and then take a bite of the duck blood."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper who brought the soup noodles had the courage to ask: "Has this lady come to our shop?" As a shopkeeper, he can also speak Mandarin when he receives guests from all over the world.
"This is the first time I have come to Jiangnan. But my brother has been here. He said that duck blood fans want to eat like this the most delicious." You don't care how old you are, but he is a real glutton, he must be right. .
Feng Zhixi found it troublesome, but he still ate as Liu'er said. After eating, he felt various tastes lingering on the tip of his tongue.
"It's delicious." The duck blood fans of the inn, compared with here, are really different. I have to say, my brother-in-law can eat it!
Not to mention Liuer, even Jiaojiao had a bowl of soup noodles. There is no soup left.
After leaving the soup noodle shop, Liuer looked specifically at the street, where there were also women selling things. However, these women look very sturdy with big waists.
Because he ate a lot, Liu Er didn't ride in the carriage, but walked with Jiaojiao for a while.
After walking for a long time, only a few women with hoods were seen. No one walked on the street like her without wearing anything.
Liu Er sighed and said, "Before I came here, I heard that the rules here in Jiangnan are stricter than those in Beijing. For those with a little bit of money, the girls in the family are not allowed to go out of the door. Wear a hood to cover your appearance."
The northwestern folk customs are open, and relatively speaking, there are more rules in the capital. But in the girl's home in Beijing, I haven't seen a few people wearing drapery and hats. It's the opposite here. Thinking of this, Liu'er felt a little heavy.
Feng Zhixi has been to Jiangnan and has some understanding of the situation here: "I think this is the most suitable place to run a women's school." This woman would not let go out and stay at home every day.
Liu Er said with a loud voice, "It's only three to five years." Here, there is definitely going to be a girls' school. With her mother going out in person, she is not afraid of failure. At that time, the phenomenon here should be able to change some. She has confidence in Yuxi.
Although Feng Zhixi took the errand, the imperial envoy hadn't arrived in Jinling yet, so he had time to accompany his wife and daughter. In the next few days, he accompanied Liu Er and Jiaojiao to play in Jinling City.
The family of three had fun, but Chang's mood was completely opposite to them.
Looking at Dan Dan, whose face was red and swollen with tears, Chang's dizziness was dizzy with anger: "What are you doing to beat Sister Dan?" Ding Sanyang and Feng Lianwu are not good stubborns, but bamboo shoots are good. , Sister Dan is well-behaved and sensible. Chang's love for her surpasses the three Guoguo sisters.
Feng Lianwu's expression was also not good: "I told her not to go to the Raush children to study, she is not willing." In a fit of anger, she moved her hand to Sister Dan.
Sister Dan covered her face and cried and said, "Grandma, I want to study, I don't want to stay at home." During the three years in the women's school, she has lived really happily. Not only can she learn things, she also made many close friends. She was unwilling and unwilling to leave the school.
Furthermore, leaving the school to face this crazy mother all day, she was really afraid that she would also be crazy.
Chang cried holding sister Dan and said, "Don't listen to her. Our sister Dan just reads if we want to."
Feng Lianwu screamed: "Mother, what does a girl from reading so many books do..."
"shut up."
Feng Lianwu said, "Mother, she is my daughter. She is not allowed to go if I don't allow her to study."
Nowadays, if you want to enter women's school, you need to pass an exam. Sister Dan learned well in women's school, and her popularity is also good. Keep it going and you don't have to worry about marriage in the future. If you don't go now, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Everyone is looking forward to their children's well-being, but Feng Lianwu, the mother-in-law, wants to ruin the child's life.
Chang's breathlessness: "This family, when is it your turn to call the shots?"
Feng Lianwu said confidently: "I can't be the master of Fengjia. But sister Dan was born to me, so she has to listen to what I say. Starting today, she can't go anywhere, so she stays at home and accompanies me."
Chang Shi tremblingly said, "If you dare to mess around, I will send you back to Guan's house tomorrow."
Feng Lianwu wasn't afraid at all, and said, "If you want me to go back to Guan's house, then I will take Sister Dan with her." Sister Dan is her daughter, and she took it away.
Sister Dan is still a child after all. She was so scared to hear this that she grabbed Chang's hand and cried and pleaded: "Grandma, I don't want to go with her. Grandma, I don't want to go with her." She was really frightened. Up. To be taken away, there is no way for her to survive.
This angered Feng Lianwu, and stepped forward to pull sister Dan out of Chang's hand and slap it over: "I am your mother, don't say take you away, you have to listen even if I ask you to die. "
Chang was so angry that he passed out again.
Sister Dan arrived at Guoguo's Mansion and cried when she saw Guoguo. She was really frightened.
Guo Guo was also frightened by her appearance: "Cousin, what's the matter? Tell me?"
After crying, Sister Dan told Feng Lianwu about taking her to Guan's house and said: "Cousin, if I don't go to Guan's house, I won't go to Guan's house even if I die." At Guan's house, she still has her. Have a good life!
Guoguo said with relief: "Don't be afraid of cousin, she won't be able to take you with her grandfather." Her grandmother was confused, and she left everything to her aunt. But grandfather is not confused, how can she take away his cousin.
Sister Dan also knows this truth: "I'm just afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, she can't take you away." Fortunately, her mother took her two younger sisters to Tongcheng, or she would have to be angry again.
