Chapter 355 Poetic Beauty

After hearing that Meng Yuman understood what he was saying, Jiang Rumeng said lightly: "Well, he is not as talented as Qian Qianyi. He just works for a hedge fund in the United States, and everything is focused on monetary interests. Then He looked like he was surrendering, just like Qian Qianyi."

Although his tone was as calm as before, Ding Mu, who mastered thousands of passive skills, still felt the resentment in Jiang Rumeng's words. The life stories of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi quickly flashed through his mind, as well as the life stories of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi. When these educated people are together, if they don't have some ink in their stomachs, they won't know what the other person is talking about.

Although Liu Rushi was in Goulan back then, he was the darling of thousands of celebrities. At the age of 14, she married Zhou, a bachelor who was over sixty years old, as a concubine. Zhou Zhuangyuan was born, and he often held her on his knees and taught her to read poetry and literature. The other wives and concubines were very jealous. After Zhou's death, Liu Rushi was forced to leave the court and return to his old brothel business.

After that, Liu Rushi lived in Songjiang, changed his old name, and called himself "Ying Lian" to show his self-pity in the troubled world. In Songjiang, he interacted with members of the Fushe, Jishe, and Donglin parties. He often wore Confucian men's clothing, talked about current affairs, and sang poems with everyone. Liu Rushi had very high standards for choosing a son-in-law. She looked down on the proposals of many celebrities and only stayed at the friendship stage.

Until the age of 23, Liu Rushi married Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin and a famous bureaucrat, and lived a happy life. However, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself soon. After the Qing army occupied Beijing, the Hongguang Small Court was established in Nanjing. Liu Rushi supported Qian Qianyi and became the Minister of Rites of Nanming. Soon the Qing army went south. When the troops approached the city, Liu Rushi persuaded Qian Qianyi to join him in drowning and die for the country. Qian Qianyi was silent for a while and finally walked down to the pool to test the water and said: "The water is too cold to enter." Liu Rushi " He was about to sink into the pond," but Qian Qianyi held him back. So Qian Qianyi looked down upon his face and welcomed the surrender.

Thinking of this section, Ding Mu interjected and said, "It seems that Miss Rumeng's boyfriend has a limited integrity. I didn't expect you to be so patriotic."

Jiang Rumeng seemed to feel that her mood was a little bad, so she changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this anymore. We have already arrived at the place. Let's get off the car."

"Where is this?" Meng Yuman got out of the car and looked around. They were all buildings with white walls and black tiles, and couldn't help but wonder.

"This is an extremely famous place. It was a wealthy area during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Let's start our tour of Qinhuai from here today." Jiang Rumeng smiled lightly and asked, "Can you guess it?"

Ding Mu and Meng Yuman looked at each other. They came to Nandu relatively suddenly and did not do any homework beforehand.

Seeing that the two of them were confused, Jiang Rumeng began to recite a poem: "Weeds and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, the setting sun at the entrance of Wuyi Lane, and the swallows in front of the Wang Xietang in the old days flew into the homes of ordinary people."

"Let's go, this is Wuyi Alley!" Ding Mu sighed, "I really didn't know Wuyi Alley looked like this."

"This is behind Wuyi Lane. If we pass through here, we can reach the Qinhuai Bank." Jiang Rumeng was obviously familiar with this place and explained, "Nowadays, Wuyi Lane is not busy, and tourists mainly come here to imitate the antiques. Take a look at the palaces of the Wang and Xie families. The Wang family has famous ministers, as well as great calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. The Xie family has famous ministers and great poets such as Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao. Although it is no longer the original monument, it still has some ancient meanings. It can be respected.”

"When Liu Yuxi wrote that poem, the Wang family and the Xie family no longer existed, let alone today. I look at this newly built former residence. It is just a place for some handicraft shops, but they are taking advantage of this location to sell things." Dingmu General Don’t look at the restored fake monuments.

Jiang Rumeng Bingxue was smart and understood Ding Mu's preferences right away. She led Ding Mu and Meng Yuman through Wuyi Lane and came to an ancient ferry and said, "This Taoye Ferry is the old site."

Meng Yuman looked at the water flow near the ferry and said disdainfully: "This is Taoye Ferry. I don't think the water flow is very fast. Taoye must be acting like a baby."

Ding Mu didn't understand what this had to do with the water flow, so he couldn't help but cast a questioning look.

Jiang Rumeng said: "It is said that the concubine Taoye of the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher Wang Xianzhi needed to frequently travel to the ancient ferry near Wuyi Lane. Because the water flow here was fast at that time, the concubine Taoye was naturally a little scared. Wang Xianzhi wrote "Taoye" "Ye Song" gives each other: 'Peach leaves come upon peach leaves, and you don't need a peach to cross the river, but there is no pain in crossing, and I will welcome you.' And every time I go to the ancient ferry to welcome Tao Ye across the river."

"Hi. I know this poem." Ding Mu knew as soon as he heard it that the two girls had something in common. They both liked tender vows and lingering poems, imagining the farewell ferry and the joy of departure, but he was very disdainful. , what’s the point?

Meng Yuman and Ding Mu were very familiar with each other, and she said coquettishly: "This is a romance that has been passed down for thousands of years. You are really a piece of wood."

"Yeah, that's what my dad named me. It's Mu." Ding Mu said coquettishly.

Hearing the two people bickering, Jiang Rumeng couldn't help but giggle and said: "Let's take a look at the Wende Bridge over there. There is a saying that 'a gentleman cannot cross the bridge, but he is not a gentleman if he crosses the bridge.' Why are you doing this? As a reminder, you need to find the answer from the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait."

With a glance, Ding Mu understood the difference between the two sides of the Qinhuai River and said, "After you remind me, it will be easy. On one side of the two banks are the serious Confucius Temple and Jiangnan Gongyuan. They pay attention to don't look at anything inappropriate. The rules are strict and the frost is strict. On the one hand, the Qinhuai brothel is full of people, it must be a place where the spring night is short and the red tent in the attic is hooked up. A gentleman must not be able to bridge the bridge. "

Meng Yuman teased: "Ding Mu, you are already on the bridge."

Ding Mu said nonchalantly: "I am not a gentleman to begin with. I aim to become a gentleman, but I never work hard in that direction."

Listening to the two people chatting and laughing freely, Jiang Rumeng felt a little envious. She said: "It is precisely because crossing the bridge is not a gentleman, a gentleman will not cross the bridge and take a boat instead. That's why Qinhuai's light boats and painted boats are so famous."

"The customer service of this brothel is indeed very good." Ding Mu nodded, "Unfortunately... that era has passed. I have no chance to experience the life of a talented and beautiful woman again."

When Meng Yuman heard what Ding Mu said, her face suddenly darkened and she wanted to cover half of her face with her hands. This Dingmu doesn’t talk anywhere.

However, Jiang Rumeng smiled and said: "Although the brothel is gone, there are still Qinhuai boat dishes. It is said that the driving force behind these Qinhuai delicacies are those Qinhuai women. They have long understood a truth. To capture a man's heart, he must first Capture a man's stomach. Dong Xiaowan, one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, is actually one of the top ten famous chefs in ancient China. Let's try Dong Xiaowan's authentic Qinhuai boat dishes today."
