Chapter 013 Thousands of red carps leaping across the river
When he heard that Zhang Shaoyang was beaten, Gao Jingshu's maid Cui'er was about to cry out of joy. She ran back to the prefect of the prefect from the street two miles away in one breath and quickly told her lady the good news. Gao Jingshu, who had been depressed these days, suddenly had a bright smile on her face, and even half of the snacks sent by Zhang Qingyuan, she ate the magistrate's wife very happy.
Zhang Shaoyang, who was beaten on the other side, has also been much more restrained during this period. No news about him has been heard in Jiangling City for half a month. This surprised the neighbors who usually talk about him as a joke. If this master turned aside, it seemed that it was hard to believe that the blacksmith in the east of the city bragged the sky.
Today is the Lantern Festival. It is rare to have a very good weather in Jiangling City. Look at this, you will definitely see a full moon at night. Every year, thousands of families in Jiangling City have a full moon reflected by a colorful lantern. It is a unique sight in the world.
On this day, the lights on both sides of the Yangtze River were bright and the moon shone brightly in the sky. The most popular day for talented men in Jiangling was that they would have to board a boat to roam the river. If it was a whim, it would be a good poem to be a master of the future generations and pass it to the emperor of the capital, and it would be able to become a powerful person and become an important official of the court. There is a precedent for such a thing.
Even if you can't earn an official position, you can stand on the bow of the boat and write a decent poem that can attract the beautiful ladies on the same boat to look at each other. That is still a great blessing. I think that if you are a scholar, you will not be a good official career or a beautiful woman, why are you studying?
I heard that Miss Jingshu was going to board the boat to watch the lanterns tonight, and these literati were all ecstatic. If anyone could get the favor of Miss Jingshu, why would he hold the bed of poetry and books all day long? So everyone was ready to go to the riverside to check in early, and some even read 800 poems within half a day, just to find one or two beautiful words and sentences, and then modify them themselves. When reading them in front of Miss Jingshu, it might attract the beauty's attention.
So as soon as the night arrived, boats were swaying on the river until the lights on both sides gradually became brighter and the river was shimmering. On the shore, there were constant songs and laughter in the river. Sometimes, the young men recited a poem, which made the women watching on the shore feel rippling and screaming. This is probably the case with talented men and beautiful women since ancient times.
A double-decker cruise ship slowly walked in the distance. A beautiful woman stood quietly on the bow of the boat, followed by several maids and servants. He recognized it at a close glance that it was Miss Gao's family and shouted to the river: "Miss Jingshu has traveled to the river!"
Suddenly, the commotion on the river surface, mixed with a few harsh whistles, made the wonderful scenery even more restless. The beauty on the bow of the boat just chuckled and was not angry, looking at the lights on both sides.
On a smaller boat not far away, Zhang Shaoyang and several best friends lay on the side of the boat. Looking at the particularly eye-catching cruise ship, he sighed: "That bastard Lin Yixuan must be on this river at this time, maybe he will follow Gao Jingshu and forget his true feelings when he sees the beauty."
"Hahaha, why bother with it? The beauty is right in front of you. Yixuan is like this in nature, so he doesn't force it." Cao Yunsheng beside him said with a smile.
"If his father hadn't been the governor, I would have beaten him and his father wouldn't know him." Zhang Shaoyang said hatefully.
At this moment, several large ships prepared in advance on the river surface were simultaneously fired out, exploding in the air, and then the entire river surface was colorful. The smaller boats on the river tacitly surrounded the Gao family's ships in the middle, layered and layered. Gao Jingshu was even more dazzling than the moon that day.
Perhaps I felt the hot scene on the river surface. At this moment, a few red carp suddenly jumped out of the river surface. Then more carp on the river surface jumped up, two feet above the river surface, some landed on the bow of the boat, and some fell back into the river.
The people on the river suddenly became quiet and looked at the strange scene on the river. They saw that carp jumped out everywhere on the river. It was hard to describe it in millions, and there were bursts of broken water and the sound of entering the water everywhere.
This scene is really bizarre. The Yangtze River started from Baidi City and went east for 700 miles and was turbulent. It was called the Three Gorges. There has been a poem since ancient times that from the 700 miles of the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides, with little no signs, and there are heavy rocks and ridges, hiding the sky and sun. The river water surged all the way to Jiangling, and the river surface suddenly became a slow-flowing and silting area. Therefore, there are countless beautiful carp in this section of water, but even so, it is extremely rare to suddenly appear so many carp. You must know that there has always been a saying that carp will not be seen in winter, especially in late winter, carp are even deep in the bottom of the water, and rarely jump out of the water.
Everyone was stunned. Fireworks and lights reflected on the scales of the fish. It seemed that the river surface was flashing like stars in the sky. Until one person shouted: "Carp leaping over the river, is it a symbol of the fact that someone in Jiangling can leaping over the dragon gate this year and have a high school in one go?"
"Yes, this is a good sign, it must be like this." More people agreed, and the river surface once again caused a sensation, even Gao Jingshu opened her mouth wide and was shocked by this rare scene.
Among the people in the river, Chi'er was different from everyone. He looked at the river and frowned, as if he wanted to see the depths of the river through the river. He looked at it for a long time but could not see anything wrong. He thought, could it be a good sign from the sky? However, a blue light suddenly flashed at the bottom of the river, and it was extremely fast. From the upstream to the downstream, Chi'er almost thought he was dazzled. However, immediately afterwards, a strange sound like a dragon roar sounded on the river surface. The carp that jumped out of the water drilled into the water surface and never jumped out again. Suddenly, the wonderful scene disappeared, and everyone felt that the hull began to shake at this moment.
A string of bubbles appeared on the central axis of the river. After only a moment, the water surface in the middle suddenly bulged rapidly, like a huge ridge. At this moment, all the cruise ships were pushed up by a strong force and then turned toward the shore.
"Buzz!" The huge waves brought about by the water columns surging in the middle suddenly broke into both sides of the straits at this moment. At this moment, the dense cruise ships were squeezed together by the river like dry grass, making a huge impact sound.
Screams and cries, accompanied by the sound of falling into the water, the river surface was suddenly in chaos, and there were wailing everywhere. Chi'er clutched the side of the two boats that had hit him tightly, and with his own strength, the ship did not shake violently. Zhang Shaoyang finally stabilized his body and looked at the big ship living in the middle, rising and falling on the river surface by the big waves. Gao Jingshu was caught by several servants, and when a huge wave came over, he fell into the water at the same time.
