Kyoto lifted the curfew as soon as June enters, and this grand scene that has been all night long will continue until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Taking advantage of the coolness after the heavy rain, many people in the city came out to cool off and enjoy the cool.

The Tang family's carriage came from Umbrella Alley. Although this alley is prosperous, it still retains several old stores selling umbrellas.

Xiaoxiao happily leaned by the car window, reciting the couplets from the umbrella shop: "It's hard to hear, I'm so proud of my head! This couplet is interesting!"

Shan Niang looked out the window, looking at the umbrella shops covered with various colors of oil paper umbrellas, and also recited a pair of couplets: "Walking with the times, it is sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy; everything goes much, it can be rolled or relaxed."

Qi Fan smiled: "A closer look, it is quite Zen."

The carriage was already very cool, and the gauze curtains on the car window were blown by the cool breeze. Xiaoxiao was combed with her two maids, and wore a pair of rabbit hairpins carved with mutton fat jade. When traveling with her parents, she always liked to dress up childishly: "It's always right to listen to my mother. Fortunately, I brought the gauze prepared by my mother. It might be a little cold when I arrived at the lake!"

In a blink of an eye, Xingwen Lake was right in front of you.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim, the Qiandeng Street and Wanzhandi were two dense star roads. The pleasure boats and boats coming and going were like the entire Milky Way in the night sky falling on the middle of the lake. There were stars on the lake surface, and the tourists' eyes were also stars.

The family of three was wearing thin shirts with fine linen gauze, and it was particularly refreshing and transparent when the night breeze on the lake surface.

An exquisite little pleasure boat had already stopped on the shore. Xiaoxiao looked at the wooden plaque of the pleasure boat with two or three rains.

"Dad, the pleasure boat you rented is so interesting!" Xiaoxiao was the first to run into the boat, and his shoes stepped on the deck made a thud sound.

Qifan helped Shan Niang to the pleasure boat, and Shan Niang waved her hand to slow down: "Although the pleasure boat is stable, the bow of the boat is still dangerous!"

Xiaoxiao was so happy that she couldn't care about those things. She stood at the bow of the boat and stood in the wind. The lake wind blew in from the sleeve tube, making her naughty and soft: "If my daughter was sent into the lake by the wind, she could just pick a lotus for her mother!"

In the end, the boatwoman was helped into the boat, with carved beams and painted buildings and beaded curtains, which were comparable to a good flower hall.

Shan Niang also sat down with Qifan: "As soon as your father arrived in Kyoto, he bought a pair of pleasure boats and was docked in Lihuan, and he had never used it yet!"

"A pair?" Xiaoxiao said curiously, "What is the name of the other ship? Seven or eight stars?"

"Yes." Qifan shook the fan, feeling very disappointed.

In modern times, this is because my family owns two yachts! Why is such a cool thing called a name like a joke? Although Xiaoxiao likes these two names very much.

Soon a servant came onto the boat and saluted, "Little Lingbi, I have met the third master, the third wife, and the fifth girl. Our second master has already told me that if anyone from the Tang family comes to visit the lake, the young man will personally serve him!"

Xiaoxiao first called Lingbi and asked, "There is a small pleasure boat over there, full of light red lights. Whose family belongs to that?"

Lingbi looked carefully at the lake and smiled and said, "Go back to the fifth girl, this is our house's pleasure boat, named 'Hua Chenyuexi', and was rented by the boss Wei of Wei's family for half a year."

Xiaoxiao first looked back at his father: Look at how romantic the other person’s name is, Hua Chenyuexi...

Shan Niang smiled and said, "I think our name is even more unconventional."

Qifan personally poured daffodil tea for his wife: "I know me."

Who is Yikong? Oh, it’s the word “Mother”.

Xiaoxiao and the spirit wall walked onto the bow of the boat, leaving enough space for their parents. At this time, the pleasure boat under their feet was slowly moving, getting closer and closer to the "Flower Chenyuexi". You could vaguely see a beauty dancing in the other party's veil. Xiaoxiao knew that Boss Wei was not traveling with his wife and daughter. After last night's cozy garden banquet, he had to make the beauty happy.

I snorted coldly in my heart and looked elsewhere, but I saw a medium-sized pleasure boat next to the "Hua Chenyuexi", with unique curtains hanging on it. I don't know who was on the boat, and I could only hear a brilliant sound of flutes, which cut through the lake and made the lotus flowers lose their color.

"Whose ship is that?" Xiaoxiao asked.

Lingbi Stone quickly replied: "This is also our house's pleasure boat. It was rented by a Shangguan young master a while ago and rented it for a month. The young man was wondering, such a large pleasure boat was used for the first time tonight, and he did not call on friends. He was the only one, and he brought two book boys to serve him to write."

Xiaoxiao remembers that I had met this young master Shangguan in Jiyuan last night. His behavior, words and deeds were different from those of other merchants, and they were quite mysterious.

"What's the name of his pleasure boat?"

"Little Dragonfly."

"...Why is such a large medium-sized pleasure boat called Xiaolongfly?"

"A small pleasure boat called Dragonfly. Because it was all green paint, our grandfather called this one little dragonfly."

Xiaoxiao frowned and smiled. This is very similar to the second brother's naming method.

I have only seen the pleasure boats on TV in my previous life, but I have read a lot of records about pleasure boats in books. It is said that with West Lake, there is a pleasure boat. A very famous pleasure boat collector in history is named Wang Ranming, a Confucian businessman in the Ming Dynasty, who was quite wealthy and made many of the most famous pleasure boats in the contemporary world. It is said that among his pleasure boats, there are a garden, a temple, a scoop, a leaf, and a piece. Large pleasure boats are called Buyi Garden and Suixing Temple; small pleasure boats are called Tuan Pai, Guanye, and Rain Wind. Wang Ranming himself is also called the owner of the lake and mountain. It is said that there are twelve appropriate items for "not scooping to the garden" and nine taboos, etc. Those who use the boat must have the four categories of "famous people, monks, confidants, and beauties". Those who do not meet the status will definitely not be allowed to use them...

The ancients were really good at playing.

Modern people only hold champagne parties on yachts, hold parties, etc. How can they compare to the ancients’ appreciation? Not to mention the distance, it just depends on the fact that Shangguan Master has already poured ink on the little dragonfly into a curtain to roll up the evening breeze...

Xiaoxiao covered half of her face with a raw dough fan, revealing only a pair of bright big eyes. Looking at the curtains blown away by the evening breeze, they fell on the lake like the whiteness in the moon. Other pleasure boats were also affected, especially the "Flower Morning Moon Xi" closest to it, and a girl had to pick it up.

Xiaoxiao was also "fortunate" to get a curtain of words floating over. When he opened it, he saw the boat lamp and wrote two poems with exquisite ink: The lonely moon is vague, and the boat is sailing at night.

I was a little confused and was thinking about it when I saw the hairpin coming out of the cabin: "The only cut melon, let the girl come in and taste it!"

Back in the cabin, there was a pleasant smell of melon, which was combined with the fragrance of lotus leaves on the lake and the smell of mosquitoes and mugwort burning in the cabin, which synthesizes the unique atmosphere of midsummer nights.

"It's so sweet!" Xiaoxiao picked up a tooth of melon and took a bite.

Qifan saw the curtain of words in Xiaoxiao's hand, and opened it and looked: "The poems are limited, but the words are excellent. What about the talented woman? "

Shan Niang also came over to see it: "It's indeed a good word, where did you get it?"

"Does my parents still remember the Shangguan Young Master at the dinner last night? This was floating from his pleasure boat." Xiaoxiao started eating the second tooth melon, "He wrote and played the flute on the pleasure boat. When the evening breeze blew, the curtains of the words were scattered everywhere! It was like intentional."

"Don't save others." Shan Niang patted her daughter's hand.

Xiaoxiao stopped and listened to his mother's words, just burying his head to eat melons.

"I heard his flute last night, as low as a swallow, and it was so melodious." Shan Niang looked at the words carefully again, "I didn't expect that this hand would become more wonderful... I'm afraid that this skill would be difficult to achieve without going through fifty or sixty years of cold and heat."

"Mom means..." These words were not written by Shangguan Gongzi?

Xiaoxiao looked at his father: "What do you think about Dad?"

"I can't read words, I can only force myself to read people." Qifan took a sip of tea, "That young master Shangguan is not like a businessman."

"Who is he?"

"What do you think of Xiaoxiao?" Qi Fan asked his daughter back, then looked at his wife with a smile, and encouraged her daughter, "There is no outsider, you can speak nonsense."

Xiaoxiao thought for a long time and put on a whisper: "Tea is lewd, orange is abused, and books are devils of poetry."

Both husband and wife were amused by their daughter's words and smiled, which actually means a playboy who is good at romantic affairs.

"Don't underestimate this tea, lewd orange, and the demon of the poem," Qifan said seriously, "I'm afraid it will take several lifetimes of financial resources."

"If you say it is a poetic demon, this poem is a bit too common." Shan Niang also shook her head.

"Then he is a person of art!" Xiaoxiao said something again after his father's encouragement.

"The sound of his flute is true." Qi Fan picked up the words and looked at it again. "It is said that he is doing business that connects the north and the south, and trades the cotton silk from the north and the tea from the south, but his eyes lack the inspiration of calculators. He talked with him about tea tasting with him yesterday, and he knew very little."

"Maybe the person who really does business is not him, but his father and brother. He just came on behalf of his father and brother last night." Xiaoxiao analyzed.

"Maybe." Qifan shook the fan and stopped talking in depth.

But Xiaoxiao became more and more curious about the Shangguan Young Master, and even suddenly had a bizarre guess, and felt that he was too stolen.

"Xiaoxiao's birthday, my parents haven't expressed it yet." Shan Niang smiled.

Xiaoxiao pointed to the little rabbit jade hairpin on his hair bun: "Didn't you give my daughter a set of jade rabbit heads and faces?"

"It seems that only dad is left." Qifan cleared his throat awkwardly.

Of course, Xiaoxiao remembers that on his 13th birthday in his previous life, I received a gift from my father in advance, which was a very beautiful bicycle.

In this life, my dad won't give him a carriage...

"How about seven or eight stars?" Qifan said.

What are seven or eight? Xiaoxiao reacted for a while before exclaiming: "Dad, do you want to give me a big pleasure boat?"

"Besides, I won't give it to you."

"Dad, majestic and elegant, are you going to give your daughter a pleasure boat?" Xiaoxiao couldn't hide his excitement. This is a cruise ship in modern times~

"The boat is not big." Qifan looked at the spacious inner cabin of the boat, "It is similar to this one. The reason why it is called seven or eight stars is because the top floor of the cabin is made of glass, and you can watch the stars while sitting in the cabin."

"Dad, you are so handsome! Mom, you are so beautiful!" Xiaoxiao was so happy that she wanted to make a few occasions.

"You spoil her too much." Shan Niang said unconsciously.

"It's better to give her dowry sooner or later. I'd better give her it now. Isn't it great to travel to the lake with my classmates while I'm young and love to play?"

When Shan Niang heard this, she deeply agreed and just smiled and stopped talking.

Qifan looked at his daughter and said seriously: "Time is short, don't let down your years."

Xiaoxiao nodded heavily: "So, we must travel at night like today every night."

The parents who said that smiled and raised the fan and said, "When did you want to visit the lake, go find the Lingbi and ask him to bring out the 'seven or eight stars' for you."

Xiaoxiao Tiantian thanked her father and looked at the more lively lake outside the window: "Let's go outside and take a look! It seems that someone is setting off fireworks on the boat!"

It is really someone sets off fireworks, but it is not the kind that is high up to heaven, but the "gold" held in his hand. It is similar to the long thread of modern incense and fire. It ignites from the top and bursts out a small spark, igniting it all the way up enthusiastically. When it is almost at hand, it is thrown into the lake.

Qifan and Shan Niang looked at Yeshan further away and talked about the scene when they climbed that mountain more than ten years ago...

Xiaoxiao no longer disturbed her parents, walked quietly to the stern of the boat, looking at the starlights all over the lake, afraid that everything in front of her would be a dream.

While we were worried about gains and losses, we saw a large pleasure boat sailing not far away, two stories high, decorated with many colorful lights, and the waves were like neon lights.

The stern of the large pleasure boat was facing him, and there was a person standing at the stern, wearing a clear gauze dress. The night wind blew, and the gauze layered up, as if the night celestial night cereal was flashing.
