By the Qinhuai River, Yunxiao Pavilion was as lively as ever. Although the clouds of war hung over the city of Nanjing, the people relaxed their hands and feet and suddenly felt at ease. I usually live frugally, and live my life with a lot of frustration and caution. Now the rebel army and the imperial army are about to start a war in Nanjing. In the chaos of war, it is unclear whether they can survive this disaster. What are you going to do with the money? As a result, all the brothels along the Qinhuai River were full one after another. Yunxiao Pavilion was famous in Qinhuai because of the oiran incident last time, and its popularity was also very popular. Naturally, it was squeezed through the threshold and the stone steps were broken. The sisters worked overtime. I'm so busy serving guests that I can't even pull up my pants. Compared with the hustle and bustle in the hall downstairs, the room of Yunxiao Pavilion's number one Shen Yunyan is as quiet as ever. Since Song Nan left, Yunxiao Pavilion's number one rarely receives guests. The princes and dignitaries in Nanjing City secretly find Liu's mother. The prices offered were higher and more exaggerated than the last, but Mama Liu never dared to let Shen Yunyan accompany guests just for the money. On the other hand, Shen Yunyan felt that as the leader of Yunxiao Pavilion, she had to make some contributions to Yunxiao Pavilion. Occasionally, she would play the piano and sing for a few lucky people, and sit and have banquets with them. This was already a great honor, but It is absolutely impossible to think otherwise. Some people even tried to interview in person without giving up, but Shen Yunyan walked away in a hurry, causing much fuss and being complained by others. As a result, Shen Yunyan was nicknamed "Jin with Jade". This nickname was not a compliment, but a complaint behind the back of a wealthy man in Nanjing who had been rejected many times. The main idea was: "The bottom of Shen Yunyan must be made of gold with jade." , so precious, so aloof." As soon as word spread, the young masters secretly replaced Shen Yunyan with gold and jade. These people vaguely knew that Yunxiao Pavilion had now changed its owner. There was news that it was a certain big shot in the capital, but they did not dare to be overly presumptuous. Shen Yunyan sat in front of the dressing table in a daze with her cheeks drawn. She didn't pay attention to the noise outside. Ever since Song Nan left Nanjing, she had been sitting in the room like this most of the time, holding her pink cheeks and watching. There is a picture framed on the wall. That is the fragment of the poem that Song Nan wrote in handwriting that day to help Shen Yunyan. Now it has been framed extremely delicately by a famous framer in Nanjing, and it hangs upright above the dressing table. "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you under the bridge" Shen Yunyan thought of Song Nan's demeanor and nonchalant manner, and the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a slight smile. With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the maid Xiao Shizi rushed in with a cheerful face. Shen Yunyan hurriedly stood up and asked, "How is it? Do you have any news?" Xiao Shizi grabbed the teapot and drank a few sips, then stretched out his sleeves to wipe it. After removing the water stains on his mouth, he took a long breath and said, "Oh, my dear, I'm so exhausted, little maid." Shen Yunyan hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, looked at her intently and said, "Is there any news? I'm so anxious." Xiao Shizi laughed and said, "My old lover is here, and the girl can't sit still." Shen Yunyan raised her hands to strike, but Xiao Shizi quickly raised her hands and shrank her head and said, "I surrender, and that's what the maid said." The streets and alleys are talking about the arrival of Duke Zhen Guo with his army. "" Duke Zhen Guo?" Shen Yunyan frowned in confusion. "Oh, that's Song Nan. He used to be a Marquis, but now he's a Duke. Didn't you hear about the last time he led troops to fight against the Tatars and regained some Loop? "Master." Shen Yunyan said oh, thoughtfully. The little stool asked: "Why, isn't the girl happy for him?" Shen Yunyan smiled and said: "Of course I am happy for him." But in her heart, she thought: "He is the Duke of the country, his power and status are high, and he is far away from me. "That's it. Duke Zhen's army is stationed in Jiangpu. He is recruiting ships all over the world. It is said that he wants to fight the rebellious King Ning on the river, but there are not enough ships and he is in trouble, so he is recruiting ships. "Where's the civilian ship?" "Oh, that's it." Shen Yunyan bit her lips and nodded, "Is he in Nanjing City?" "How dare I ask about the Duke's residence if he doesn't know?" Er Gouzi said that he personally saw Song Nan stationed at the mouth of the Qinhuai River. Every time a civilian ship arrived, he would thank the owner and give him money. " Shen Yunyan's eyes lit up, then darkened. Go down. "Don't you want to see him, girl?" Little Stool asked. Shen Yunyan slowly shook his head and said: "It's as if we haven't seen each other yet. If he doesn't come to see me, how can I go see him? Maybe he has forgotten me." The little stool smiled and said, "How could that be? That little maid Song Nan He doesn't look ruthless. Otherwise, if the girl falls in love with him, why wouldn't he take advantage of her? He cruelly refuses her and leaves, for the sake of her future. Didn't you say this? " Shen Yunyan nodded. Said: "Yeah, but I still don't?Go find him. He is now the Duke of the country and has enough military and state affairs at hand to keep him busy. If I go to him at this time, I will ruin his reputation and he will not have time to see me. " Little Stool's big eyes turned around, and suddenly said: "Does the girl want to see him? If you want, my maid has a good idea. She can keep it without causing any criticism, and she can also meet the Duke of Zhen. If you don't want to, just forget it, just be a maid and don't say anything. " Shen Yunyan was shaken, looked at the small stool and said, "Do you have a good idea? " "The girl only asked if she wanted to see him. " Shen Yunyan hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I think" "That's right. If you think about it, you just think about it. If you don't want to, you just don't want to think about it. The girl has always been straightforward. Then the solution is" Shen Yunyan's eyes widened, and she looked at the red lips of the little stool coming to her ears to say something, her heart pounded, and she whispered: "Is it okay? " "Why can't it work? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. No women are responsible. " Shen Yunyan pinched her fingers and thought for a while, then made up her mind and said, "That's all, I'll listen to you. You go and get ready. I'll change into some inconspicuous clothes. " The little stool agreed and hurried out of the room. " Since the afternoon, Song Nan came to a dock called Xiaguan in the northwest of Nanjing City to sit down. This is the mouth of the Qinhuai River, where the Qinhuai River meanders. After leaving the city, it actually became the moat of Nanjing City. The Seven Bays and Eight Turns also had an inlet at another place called Sancha River, but this was its original outlet, and the ships Song Nan ordered to collect were After having lunch at noon, thirty-three Nanjing Navy warships arrived here early. Song Nan sat on the deck of one of the large ships, watching a steady stream of large and small ships coming from the city. Gathered here, he couldn't help but lament the importance of people's strength in fighting. Naturally, Song Nan didn't want to turn the collection of civilian ships into a burden. He paid silver taels as rent for each boat and made it clear to the ship owner. As long as the ship is damaged, it will be compensated according to the price, and the ship owners will never suffer a loss. Starting in the afternoon, a large number of ships began to arrive in groups. To be honest, these ships were simply unsightly. Some were canoes and some were awnings. Some of the boats were wooden boats, and some were slightly larger fishing boats, but none of them were decent. The scalps of the generals who accompanied Song Nan were like snowflakes flying. They didn't know what use these boats were. They could compete with Zhu Chen. Hao's large warship didn't need to fight, and it was sunk. I don't know how happy the Duke was. They didn't dare to say these things. The rules of the war are that if he wants you to express your opinions, you must. He said that when he didn't ask everyone's opinions, everyone still spoke less; dozens of previous battles have shown that the more you think that the Duke of Guo is fooling around, you will definitely be slapped in the face in the end, leaving you stunned. After a colorful boat full of flowers slowly came from a distance, these generals couldn't calm down. The boat was exquisite and gorgeous, and among a group of shabby boats, it looked like a white and tender figure among a group of beggars. The beauty was extremely conspicuous and uncoordinated. Which brothel came to join in the fun? Could it be that she was going to fight on the boat? Song Nan also saw the boat, and he couldn't help but laugh at the scene. It is said that the consciousness of the people in Nanjing City is really high. With an order, the brothel people also brought the boat to join the battle. Which brothel is so aware? We should take a closer look. "Follow the rules and ask the boat owner to come over." Come and talk. "Song Nan ordered with a smile. "My lord, let's send that boat away. Why are the brothels and boats here? No need to get into trouble. " "What are you talking about? The people's patriotic passion cannot be dampened. What happened to the brothel? During the Anti-Japanese War, sisters working in the flower industry in Shanghai donated several airplanes. " "What? Resist Japan? airplane? "Several generals had no idea what Song Nan was talking about. Song Nan let something slip and had no way of explaining it, so he coughed and said: "In short, everyone has the right and obligation to serve the country and be loyal to the country. Go get the ship. ¡±?¡
