    Slender West Lake was not originally called West Lake. It was actually a wider river outside Yangzhou City, called Baoyang Lake, with an area of ??nearly 500 acres.

    It was originally the remains of the moats of Luocheng in the Tang Dynasty and Dacheng in the Song Dynasty, starting from the Beicheng River in the south and reaching the foot of Shugang in the north.

    By the time of Daqian, many of the world's most wealthy salt merchants had spent large sums of money to hire famous gardeners to design and manage water gardens on both sides of the river, and built water gardens that became a scenery along the river.

    Since the Holy Ancestor¡¯s tour to the south, there have been twenty-four famous sceneries along the river. These twenty-four sceneries encompass the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

    During the Zhenyuan period, Wang Hang, a poet who lived in Yangzhou, wrote a poem in which he lamented the arrogance of wealthy businessmen who spent money like water. The poem said:

    "The weeping willows are constantly picking up the weeds, and the wild goose-toothed red bridge is like a painting; it is also a pot that sells gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake."

    Since then, the tacky Baoyang Lake has been replaced by the elegant and gorgeous Slender West Lake.

    At the pier, looking at the empty lake with no other boats, Ye Qing looked at Jia Cong, shook his head and sighed: "Are you too overbearing? Your sister wants to swim in Slender West Lake, so you clear the place? Holy Spirit  When Zu was on tour to the south, there were even cruise ships on Slender West Lake."

    Jia Cong said angrily: "Don't cause trouble for me. How can I compare with the Holy Ancestor? He enjoys himself with the people and is respected by the world. He doesn't even have an enemy. Can I be the same? I work hard for the Tian family.  , there are only 8,000 enemies if not 10,000. I am not afraid myself, but I cannot involve my family."

    Hearing this, Ye Qing burst into laughter and said, "You are too boring, and you can't laugh at a joke. Can I still ask the censor to sue you?" Seeing that Jia Cong ignored him, she changed the subject again and said, "This  The boat is nice, the salt merchants honor you, right?"

    An extremely exquisite painting boat is moored quietly beside the pier, with upturned eaves and corners, exquisite and exquisite.

    There are two floors above and below, with a length of seven to eight feet in front and back, more than twice the size of an ordinary boat.

    The first floor is a hull with five front and rear entrances, lattice windows, relief railings, and red lights all over, just like a mansion.

    There is a four-cornered pavilion on the second floor. There is a beauty leaning in the pavilion. You can sit on it and enjoy the wind and the moon.

    Jia Cong nodded and replied: "This is from the old man of the Zhao family. He heard that I was looking for a boat, so he sent his son to deliver it."

    Ye Qing smiled and said: "He didn't send the ship deed together?"

    Jia Cong couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said: "This old man has become a human spirit, he will not do such a substandard thing."

    At this time, Zhan Peng ordered his soldiers to board another ship, not a boat, but a warship for escort.

    Dozens of other soldiers followed the oarsman down to the inner cabin for surveillance.

    Li Rong had already taken the women from the Zhan family to search the boat carefully inside and out.

    After these arrangements were made, Chi Yu led seven or eight wives, cooks and a dozen serving girls to board the ship.

    In his hands were large and small bags, including tea bowls, clothes, and even bedding for the masters themselves.

    Seeing this one thing after another, Ye Qing kept looking at Jia Cong with a half-smile.

    Jia Cong was helpless and said: "Master Qing, you have to understand a truth. It's not that my Jia family is luxurious, but that's how the world is. You can't force everyone to be as unrestrained and uninhibited as you, right?"

    Ye Qing's big eyes were bright and he smiled: "Did I say anything? No! Ohyou mean I'm different, right?"

    Jia Cong ignored him, and when all the people who were supposed to get on the boat had finished, several healthy women came over carrying a soft sedan to take Daiyu and others to the boat.

    But Jia Cong couldn't stand Ye Qing's gaze anymore, and said to the healthy women: "Don't bother me, ladies, you can go down. The painting boat is different from the other boats nearby. This boat is short, so girls can just get on it. I won't bother you."  ¡±

    The healthy women thought that Jia Cong felt sorry for them, and the leading woman hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, where is the trouble? This is what women should do, it's not tiring at all, it's not tiring"

    Hearing this, Ye Qing burst out laughing, and Jia Cong's face darkened. The old woman still had some brains at least, and she finally understood that the noble lady didn't actually care about them, so she apologized and left with a smile, whether she was doing something or not.  Money, they long for leisure.

    After the mothers-in-law left, Ye Qing also stopped laughing and asked: "Hey, Qingchen, are you so gentle to all women?"

    Jia Cong glanced at her and didn't say anything. In terms of eloquence, he might not be better than others, but after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said: "You can calm down later and don't scare my sisters"

    This time it was Ye Qing's turn to look dark, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Qingwen hurriedly covered her mouth and whimpered: "Stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense!"

    Jia Cong¡¯s words last night were unforgettable to her.

    ¡°It is said that one¡¯s temperament is easy to change, but one¡¯s temperament is hard to change, but Qingwen was willing to change her temperament for Jia Cong

    After Qingwen, Xiaohong, Chunyan and others boarded the boat one by one, the smile on Jia Cong's face completely faded away. He looked at Zhan Peng beside him and said in a deep voice: "Is it true that there is nothing wrong with the Yamen?"

    Zhan Peng was a little dissatisfied and said, "Sir, how many times have you asked me this question?"

    Jia Cong shouted: "You bastard, there are your father and brother!"

    Seeing that Jia Cong was really angry, Zhan Peng hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, it's irrelevant! My father, my eldest brother, they are all top-notch players. They have never put down their efforts over the years. In addition, my lord, you have stayed."  As long as the other party doesn't send a large army to attack those twenty firearms, nothing will go wrong. Besides, my dad and the others often say that they are willing to die for you"

    "fart!"

    Jia Cong angrily scolded: "The escort department is about to mount up, it doesn't matter at all! Your father and the others haven't started their big event yet, let alone death, even if they are injured, it will be a big loss."

    Zhan Peng chuckled and said, "I see you are more worried about Tea Lady Sister Okay, okay, I won't talk too much. Don't worry, Sir. They are a group of crooked demons who cannot be brought to the forefront. Even if I don't treat my father and the others  Please come, just the men under Tea Lady Sister are enough to destroy the enemy. Those sneaky people who are the best at using insidious tricks don¡¯t know the benefits of firearms. I am worried that the people under Tea Lady Sister will suffer too much loss and delay the important event of the Lord.  , that¡¯s why I invited my father and the others to help me. I guarantee it will be absolutely perfect, I guarantee it will be absolutely foolproof!¡±

    Jia Cong snorted and then sighed, hoping that those cult personnel would not be as fearless as the novel said.

    He said to Zhan Peng: "Now that the matter has come to this, I can only choose to trust Thirteen Niangs and your old man. In addition, my uncle has also left twenty personal guards. When things are critical, they will also help. Okay,  I don¡¯t want to think about this anymore. You and Li Rong don¡¯t have to stand outside for a while, go to the second floor and have a relaxing day.¡±

    When Zhan Peng heard this, his eyebrows immediately danced with excitement, and he grinned widely.

    Jia Cong glared angrily, shook his head, and got on the boat first.

    Zhan Peng happily followed the boat and waved his big hand neatly. A soldier untied the cable, and several long single oars stretched out from the cabin, driving the boat to slowly leave the dock and sail towards the lake
