Chapter 117: The Peace and Prosperity
The old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west.
Fireworks in Yangzhou in March.
The shadow of the solitary sail disappears in the blue sky.
Only the horizon flow of Chijiang River can be seen.
...
Different from some of Qin Lang's own vague memories, this poem was written by an unknown poet from the previous dynasty. It is one of the few that was handed down during the founding war of the Great Zhou Dynasty. of literary works.
Nowadays, as the writing style becomes more and more popular, it has gradually become one of the most popular masterpieces.
Yangzhou in March is undoubtedly a livable place that everyone yearns for, but the time does not have to be so tight. It is actually almost the same as the end of April and the beginning of May.
……
Yangzhou Mansion during the day, without the decoration of fine wine and candles, may not be as noisy and bustling as at night.
But the streets, Dongxifang City, and the riverbanks are still full of human smoke.
The hawking of vendors, the conversations of pedestrians, the laughter of children, the shouts of people in the world... Various sounds flowed among the neighbors and inside and outside the shops, and soon awakened the people in two rooms of Youfu Inn. guest.
“Hu——~”
Su Yupan, who had finished washing, stood at the window, feeling the soft morning light and morning breeze, looking at the people going downstairs outside the window, the corners of her lips faintly A pleased smile appeared on the ground.
Yangzhou locals have the habit of having morning tea. During the rich and leisurely breakfast, Su Yupan even saw actors singing the slow-key Huangmei Opera in a restaurant opposite, and there were even early-rising maikos in another restaurant. .
The people were slowly eating all kinds of morning tea while chatting under the influence of singing and dancing. Looking at the comfortable atmosphere, a certain empress couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Singing and dancing bring peace and prosperity. ..."
"Is this a prosperous time?"
"?
Su Yupan was startled, turned to look at Qin Lang who pushed the door in, wrapped up his clothes:
"Why did you come in?"
"I knocked on the door, Jin. "My son let me in."
"Oh..."
The empress was enjoying the beautiful scenery under her rule, but she didn't pay attention to this.
"Where's Jin'er?"
"I went to feed Zhen Ji."
I went to visit Zhen Ji early in the morning. This girl had this habit when she was in Qingniugang, and she still does it now. so.
"You...what are you doing?"
Seeing Qin Lang approaching, the empress keenly felt that she might be hugged again.
"Hug you."
"..."
As expected.
Su Yupan stared at Qin Lang's eyes and saw that his left eye said "Justified" and his right eye said "Of course". His eyelashes trembled. He didn't have any extra thoughts until now. Yes, I just said "oh".
"Then you can hug me..."
Qin Lang hugged him, and Su Yupan immediately realized that something was wrong and pushed him away gently:
"Wait!"
"?"
"I'll put on my clothes first..."
Su Yupan was simply wearing a robe at this time, without a belt or anything. The scattered clothes were all tied up by the pair of fat white breasts on her chest. Jade Rabbit stood up.
"Huh?"
Qin Lang's eyes suddenly lit up, causing Su Yupan to immediately tighten his clothes tightly:
"What are you looking at..."
< br>"Have you changed the words on this...?"
"?"
Su Yupan followed Qin Lang's gaze and looked at the white cloth wrapped around his heart.
She and her sister Su Yinping have the same figure that is inconvenient for riding horses, so they also chose to wear breast wraps as underwear when going out this time.
Last time, Su Yinping wrote the word "江湖" on his chest.
But this time, whether it was the sisters' shared hobbies or a tacit understanding, Su Yupan also wrote the word "天下" on his chest.
Su Yinping has a big heart.
Su Yupan has the world in mind. It seemed reasonable, but Qin Lang still didn't know the true identity of the person in front of him, so he stared at her white [World] for a while, looking a little fascinated.
This world...
It’s so majestic and beautiful...
“Ahem, that’s it, I’ll dress up later.”
< br>
"Eh?"
Qin Lang skillfully hugged the empress from behind. This time, his crossed arms held her up slightly. All he could say was that he felt an inexplicable happiness.
"..."
Su Yupan felt his little movements, tensed up and felt deeply ashamed and angry, but at the same time, he forced himself to stay calm and asked:
< br>"Have you... treated me so frivolously before..."
"Frivolous? Before?"
Qin Lang relaxed his arms with a guilty conscience and stopped trying to "exaggerate", and then said solemnly:
"Yin Ping, why don't you believe it? What about me? I told you before that it was for acupuncture. "
"? "
Acupuncture...
Su Yupan remembered what Qin Lang had said before about how her sister cried when acupuncture was tapped, and she suddenly guessed something clearly in her mind. Her eyebrows trembled:
"Where did you tap on the acupuncture points last time?"
"Just..."
Qin Lang recalled and poked.
Dong~
"Ah~?!"
Su Yupan felt a small electric current rush through his body for a moment, his heart trembled, his back, forehead and cheeks all heated up, he bit his silver teeth and gasped. The son looked at Qin Lang angrily.
"Uh..."
Qin Lang didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big. He silently retracted his fingers and said awkwardly:
"This... acupuncture matter will be discussed later. Remember..."
...
Alas, a woman’s heart is really a needle in the sea.
Speaking of which, Su Yinping was so bold in kissing herself before, but now she is so reserved in this kind of intimate contact. I don’t know whether it’s because her standards are a little uncertain, or because she really is. A little impatient.
......
Qin Lang suppressed the urge to move [The World] twice, and just held Su Yupan calmly, watching the scenery outside with her.
"Hey..."
"Huh?"
"You just said...'This is the golden age?' What do you mean?"
"Oh, this time Jingcheng, you really care about the world.”
Qin Lang smiled:
"I will just say a few words based on your exclamation. I just want to say that singing and dancing does not necessarily mean a peaceful and prosperous age."
"..."
No one can compare to Da Zhou The Empress cares more about the world, and no one cares more about what people think of the current Great Zhou Dynasty than the Empress.
So Su Yupan was naturally very concerned about Qin Lang's comments.
“Isn’t singing and dancing considered a prosperous age?”
"Well... let's put it this way, there was a poem in the previous dynasty called [Business girls don't know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river], which shows that sometimes singing and dancing to promote peace does not necessarily represent the prosperity of the country."
"The merchant girl does not know the hatred of her country's subjugation... She is still singing the flowers in the backyard across the river..."
Su Yupan muttered this sentence, and then looked slightly cold:
" I have no hatred for the country’s subjugation, and the people are happy. Wouldn’t it be better to sing more songs and dance more?”
“It is said that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness.”
Su Yupan felt completely gloomy:
"Qin Lang, what do you mean?"
"It's too far off topic. In fact, if we bring it back to the peaceful and prosperous age, all I can say is, The Great Zhou Dynasty is not considered a peaceful and prosperous age at all... Although the wars in the world have temporarily stopped, Beili is still watching with eagerness, and the countries in the southwest are also restless. If it is not to the extent of [Coming from all directions to come to congratulate each other], the Great Zhou Dynasty will never It cannot be called a truly peaceful and prosperous age."
Su Yupan's expression became even more ugly:
"According to your wishes, we will continue to have wars and the people on the border are as we did during the late emperor's time. Is it okay to suffer from harsh corvee? ”
"It's not important whether it's good or not, it's whether it's right or not."
Qin Lang naturally couldn't notice the change in Su Yupan's expression from behind, and continued to say casually:
"Anyway, I think, in Before reaching a truly peaceful and prosperous age, the blind pursuit of peace and happiness will sooner or later lead to the day when "merchants do not know the hatred for the country's subjugation, but still sing as flowers in the backyard across the river"... I think the late emperor felt to some extent when he was so-called militaristic. , It’s not time for Dazhou to be at peace yet..."
"Bold!"
With a shout, Qin Lang felt as if his body was shaken open by the woman in his arms. For a moment, he calmed down and saw that the woman in front of him was looking directly at him coldly. The faint aura made him feel like he couldn't help but want to look up.
