Chapter 324: Songjiang Perch, A Lifetime Dragon Gate
Qian Chen didn't take this to heart, but a trace of coldness appeared on Si Qingcheng's pretty face, and she said calmly: "Is this what my aunt came to tell me this time?"
Princess Xinan saw that Si Qingcheng's face was not good, and she didn't dare to offend this niece of hers, so she hurriedly said: "Fine... Aunt can ignore these things of yours, but Sixteen, you must restrain yourself a bit. You cannot offend the clan elders and seniors of the Wang family for those small matters again."
"Do you know what Wang Yan senior said when I went to see him yesterday and mentioned you?"
Si Qingcheng sneered: "It's probably nothing good!"
Princess Xinan sighed: "When I mentioned you, I also mentioned Wang Longxiang. But Wang Yan senior said that you and Xie Daoyun and their ilk, who can no longer be obtained, and Little Ruyi, are also good at making trouble, and are definitely not what is needed. How can you match their family's Longxiang? Just like Tongyun and Daomao, it's best..." Speaking of Xi Daomao, her face also looked bad.
Si Qingcheng slapped the table, and the Silver Flood Dragon Knife in her sleeve slid out and nailed onto the table.
Her pretty face was slightly cold, and she scolded angrily: "That old thing dares to say this, I want to chop off his dog head!"
Princess Xinan was so frightened that her face turned pale!
Sima Daofu hurriedly said: "Sixteen, you must not act recklessly. You are a lady from a famous family, what does it look like to shout and kill in front of outsiders?" She said, glancing at Qian Chen, secretly annoyed at why he was so ignorant of etiquette and hadn't left yet?
Si Qingguo heard this and also turned to look at Qian Chen, blushing slightly. Qian Chen just pretended not to see her previous loss of composure.
Princess Xinan came to persuade again: "Wang Yan senior is venerable and respected, known as a lifetime dragon gate. A few words from him can determine a person's reputation for a lifetime. I have already apologized to the senior for you. Listen to me, you must not be so ignorant of the height of heaven and earth again!"
"That Qian... earlier..." Princess Xinan came to her senses here, turned to look at Qian Chen, pointed at him and said: "Earlier, was it to protect him that you stood up to Wang Yan senior's face in public?"
Qian Chen smiled slightly: "It is Qian!"
Princess Xinan said angrily: "You are a loose cultivator, killing people for treasures, committing crimes at people's doors, acting like a strong thief, without rules. And you also implicated Sixteen in being disliked by Wang Yan senior... how do you have the face to come to the door?"
"Sixteen, don't you want your reputation?"
Qian Chen said lightly: "What is Wang Yan, and is he worthy of commenting on me?" He looked up calmly: "Shimei Si is a person like a heavenly being, and even less so can he comment on her."
Qian Chen glanced at Princess Xinan coldly and said: "Princess, you can belittle yourself, but why do you have to implicate my Shimei?"
Princess Xinan's chest heaved, and she trembled all over. She pointed at Qian Chen and couldn't speak, and didn't want to say another word to him. She turned to Si Qingcheng and said: "Is this the kind of person you protect and lower yourself to associate with? If you are like this, just as Wang Yan said, you are not worthy of Wang Longxiang!"
"Sima Daofu!" Si Qingcheng was angry.
"The friends I, Sima Sixteen, make are all top-notch figures. In this world, I don't feel that I need to be worthy of anyone. We know each other and are like-minded. Even if it's a wandering knight in the rivers and lakes or a commoner in the fields, as long as I like them, they can all be friends. What is the difference between noble and humble?"
"Qian Shixiong is my fellow Daoist, and you, Sima Daofu, are just a relative!"
Princess Xinan widened her eyes, full of disbelief. Her chest heaved violently, and she almost couldn't speak.
Qian Chen was calm, just putting his hand on the hilt of the Tianluo Umbrella. He looked up slightly, no half-trace of murderous intent could be seen on his face, just said lightly: "Did Wang Yan say this?"
Princess Xinan didn't know why, but she felt a feeling from him that was as calm as the sea, but deep down, it was vaguely terrifying. She couldn't answer for a moment.
The old servant at the door bowed and said: "Wang Yan did say this the day before yesterday."
The old servant looked into the room. Si Qingcheng's anger had not dissipated, Princess Xinan was both shocked and angry, and Qian Chen's expression did not fluctuate, very calm. The old servant could only bow and answer: "Wang Yan said during the pure talk yesterday: Dragon power is like a god, divine image has great power, dragon and elephant are not ordinary things, how can they be given to reeds and weeds!"
Si Qingcheng rarely showed a trace of sadness. Qian Chen knew she didn't care about Wang Yan's few words of nonsense, but was just sad about some memories. Looking at the sadness in Shimei's eyes, it should be that this sentence reminded her of something.
The old servant whispered: "Madam's taboo is Calamus!"
Qian Chen held the hilt of the affectionate sword beside him and said calmly: "Shimei, don't pay attention to those noble family waste... Thinking back, Shimei seems to have mentioned to me that you used purple-patterned dragon-tooth rice and April green plums to brew wine in your manor, and Yan Shixiong was once greedy for it. I wonder what food is nearby that can match this year's new green plum wine?"
Si Qingcheng looked up and forgot the unhappiness, smiling: "Speaking of which, if I could get a few spiritual elixirs from Shixiong to dissolve into the wine, it would be enough."
Princess Xinan suddenly said: "For food to accompany wine, the four-gill perch in Jiangzuo is the best..."
Qian Chen smiled: "Oh? Where can I buy it?"
Princess Xinan showed sarcasm and smiled: "There are quite a few four-gill perches, and they all migrate in the Dajiang. But the truly supreme perch in the world is the Songjiang perch in the Wusong River, which has silver scales and a giant mouth, and has dragon blood. But this thing only lives in Suzhou, and it is difficult to survive elsewhere. Suzhou is about a thousand miles away from Jiankang."
"In the past, the immortal Zuo Ci caught ten tails from the fish pond under the hall at the Cao family banquet. Can you get it?"
After saying that, she smiled: "But I know that the Wang family has this fish, which is raised in a golden-scaled spiritual spring and fed with dragon blood. They can get more than a hundred tails every year. The quality is even better than Songjiang..."
Qian Chen nodded slightly and said: "I'll go buy it!" He stood up, left his seat, and walked out of the inner hall. The old servant hurriedly said: "There are also perches in the Qin Huai River, I will order people to cast nets!"
Qian Chen smiled and refused.
"Qin Huai perch is good, but it's not dragon blood!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and sent out a flying talisman. The fire light jumped up and disappeared into the night sky in a flash...
In Wuyi Lane, Cui Dan sat in the courtyard, full of noble family disciples, and several old men were drinking and laughing in the upper seat.
Cui Dan flipped through the pile of four-gill perches in front of him, quite thoughtful and absent-minded.
It was a bit out of place with the bustling liveliness of the noble family banquet.
The Wang family leaned against the Qin Huai, with continuous houses of about dozens of hundred acres, but speaking of which, it was not much wider than Si Qingcheng's manor. But Wuyi Lane was located by Vermilion Bird Bridge, which was an extremely convenient place in Jiankang City. The road led to the Imperial City Heavenly Street, but the two families were quiet, and there were no commoners coming and going.
At this time, bursts of silk and bamboo music came from the courtyard. Wang Yan sat in the main seat at the upper head, facing the old man surnamed Huan who had been on the same boat as Qian Chen, and raised his glass frequently: "Brother Huan has been troubled! Ningzhi was rude and offended Brother Huan!"
The old man surnamed Huan held up his wine glass with both hands and smiled: "Shuping's painting of blocking the river is truly extraordinary, not like the common flow!"
Wang Yan laughed loudly. His sleeves were wide and loose, and he wore old wooden clogs: "Although Ningzhi is talented, among his brothers and uncles, he is still like tile and stone among pearls and jade. Xianzhi is rocky and clear, standing like a cliff. Xizhi has a divine posture and is clear, like a jade forest and jade tree, naturally an object outside the dust."
"Longxiang is like the Dao in shape, but his divine edge is too handsome! These three are truly the talents of the Wang family for three generations..." Wang Yan held a white jade-handled whisk, and as he said this, he swept it away and gathered it into his arm.
The old man surnamed Huan nodded slightly, but in his heart, he thought of the Daoist riding a white deer he saw on the Dajiang.
"Speaking of talents in the world, this person should also be among them!"
But he thought so in his heart, but didn't say it out loud, because he knew that Wang Yan looked down on disciples from humble families, and if they were not of clan style, they wouldn't enter his eyes. Although he had a moment of style, he was also quite biased.
At this time, someone mentioned Si Qingcheng: "Princess Sixteen is only a weak woman, but I didn't expect her to have such cultivation. If she were a man, she should be a clan son of the Sima family. Today's Eight Dragons of Sima would become Nine Dragons!"
As soon as these words came out, someone echoed: "Just like the two immortals Lingjiang and Tongyun in the past, not inferior to the style of men!"
Wang Yan heard this, put down his wine glass, and sneered: "It's nothing more than relying on external objects, it can't become any climate!"
Someone else smiled and mentioned Princess Xinan wanting to matchmake with Wang Longxiang. Wang Yan went crazy, and a splash of wine spread: "How can reeds match dragons and elephants?"
Cui Dan below frowned slightly. If his brother hadn't been by his side, he would have wanted to flick his sleeves and leave.
At this time, a fire light flew into his hand, turning into a yellow talisman. His brother Cui Yan turned his head and said: "Little brother, who is calling you! It's not that he cares about such small things, but at this moment, Cui Dan's expression was quite strange.
He stared at the flying talisman in his hand, full of shock!
"Qian Shixiong wrote to ask me where Wang Yan is?" Cui Dan didn't speak, just looked up slightly, glanced at Wang Yan, who had the style of a famous scholar on the seat, and then looked down at the flying talisman.
"Also asked me where I can find four-gill Songjiang perch?"
Cui Dan glanced at the perch in front of him that he had turned over, left a bit of divine thought on the flying talisman, and then put it back.
A fire light crossed the sky and went away...
He looked at Wang Yan, who was holding a white jade whisk, talking about mysterious principles, and speaking nonsense. For some reason, he was quietly excited, and a smile of "you have today too" appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cui Yan stared at his brother in confusion, always feeling that this smile was ill-intentioned. ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
