The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Fortunately, the shore was not far away, and Qingyin and his group soon saw the boats and small boats docked on the river from afar, and the soldiers who were stopping the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because it was the off-season, there were not many people at the shore. There were only a couple of fishermen preparing to go down to the river to fish, and cargo workers and merchants who were obviously carrying goods on a cargo ship, and a few more exquisite and elegant boats.

A young man who was driving the boat to send someone off, with his face tanned by years of exposure to the sun, smiled and revealed two rows of shiny white teeth as he walked towards Qingyin.

People who have worked on the boat for a long time can tell who their customers are at a glance. The young boatman, who has trained his eyesight, was curious about the group of people who were obviously nobles followed by a group of people, but the sluggish business in recent days made him give up his curiosity. He greeted Qingyin loudly with bright eyes.

"Master, do you want to take my boat? My boat is big and clean. I guarantee you will be able to take me wherever you want."

Qingyin was a little surprised by the man's enthusiastic greeting. She looked over and saw that the boat near the man could indeed accommodate everyone. She nodded and walked towards the smiling man.

No one else had any objection to the adults' wishes, and they all followed Qingyin.

The closer he got, the more the enthusiastic young boatman could see the old man's appearance. He was about twenty years old, in the prime of life. His ears were red, as if he was in love for the first time, and he didn't dare to look at Qingyin.

The strength he had used to shout just now was gone. Mu Qiang wished he could throw himself back into the river to wash himself thoroughly, so as to get rid of the burning sensation and embarrassment. Compared to the master he just mentioned, the person in front of him who was obviously his master was obviously more suitable to be a young master.

The water in Hangzhou cannot support such an indescribable beauty. Mu Qiang did not have any words to describe the young man in front of him who was obviously beautiful but not effeminate. He just felt that there was no one in the world more handsome than this young man.

The nobleman in the black robe was surprisingly fair, with clear eyebrows and light eyes, and his complexion was like a spring flower. His beauty and coldness blended well, revealing a contradictory aura, which made him even more eye-catching. He seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, and his nobleness was overwhelming.

"Is this your boat?" Qingyin pointed at the antique ship in front of them.

At this moment, this stunningly beautiful nobleman approached the ordinary man and greeted him kindly. Mu Qiang seemed to come to his senses and answered stumblingly: "Yes, yes, sir, that is my boat."

As her eyes were avoiding him, she felt even more shy when she inadvertently saw the green fingers.

Qingyin was used to people being shy or avoiding him. He smiled gently and said, "Brother, we have booked the boat to Jinling for all of us. How much is it?"

"It's okay, I don't have to charge you." Facing the approachable young man, Mu Qiang's mind was obviously mesmerized by the gentle young man, and he directly said it was free.

Qingyin raised her eyebrows slightly and gave a look to Chun'er, who was always very sociable.

Chun Er walked towards the young man with a knowing smile, "Hey, young man, how can you not accept the money? Our master is going to Jinling, this is a little reward, you must not refuse it, we all worked hard to earn the money, you can't give it away for nothing."

Chun'er gently took a tael of silver and placed it in Mu Qiang's hand, with a smile on her face that could not be refused.

The weight of one or two taels of silver was particularly obvious on the man's dark palm. Mu Qiang wanted to say that this was too much silver, but looking at the look in the maid's eyes, he knew it was not good to refuse.

Qingyin boarded this medium-sized ship. There were some cheap snacks prepared by Mu Qiang on board, but Chun'er and Ansheng obviously did not intend to let him eat them, and replaced them with some expensive pastries bought in Hangzhou.

When getting on the boat, Qingyin discovered that this body was actually a little seasick. Because of the discomfort, the already pale color of the lips became even paler, and the heat and blood color on the face due to the clothes disappeared completely, making it look even more fragile and sickly.

Chun'er felt sorry for the adults and wanted to suffer the pain for them. Unfortunately, there was no such medicine. She could only persuade the adults to eat some snacks and not ruin their body before reaching Jinling.

Seeing the worry in everyone's eyes, Qingyin barely suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed a piece of sour jujube cake to fill her hungry stomach a little.

Seeing the adults' uncomfortable reactions while eating, Chun'er and the others didn't know how to persuade Qingyin anymore.

As they were waiting and thinking, they finally arrived at the prosperous Jinling at dusk. Chun'er was delighted and the ship docked in Jinling.

The dock in Jinling is not as shabby as the small city of Hangzhou. There are many large and small ships docked there, and there are also a lot more people.

As a famous city in the south, the dock was full of people in fine clothes coming and going, and it was not surprising that Qingyin and his group were among them.

Qingyin had no plan to inform the Jia family in advance this time when he came here. If he went there suddenly, he might be able to catch them doing something bad to Daiyu. If he caught them in the act, he could also vent his anger on his daughter.

Although Chun'er and the others did not understand why Qingyin did not report the situation in the Jia Mansion, they unconditionally supported the adults' actions.

When Qingyin was helped off the boat by Ansheng, he sighed for a moment when he stepped on the solid ground. If you have never been seasick, you really don't know how serious it is. Now that he has his feet on solid ground, he really feels more at ease.

Qingyin leaned weakly against the tall Ansheng, absorbing the scent of grass and trees with her nose. She walked a few steps with the help of support, and felt much better. She no longer relied on Ansheng to walk.

Mu Qiang, standing on the boat, looked at the young master's receding back for a long time before he let out a long sigh. He was ready to abandon those messy thoughts and move on to the next business deal.

A person like that young man is not someone he can meet. It is his luck and blessing to be able to escort such a young man all the way this time. He should not be too greedy for other things.

Meanwhile, Qingyin had also learned his lesson and avoided being watched by passers-by, walking in the middle of the crowd. With Ansheng, who was 1.9 meters tall, and Jiang Imperial Physician, who was 1.85 meters tall, blocking his view, it was difficult for people outside to see his face, so there was no crowd congestion.

It was too late, and Qingyin didn't plan to pick up her daughter so late, so she asked someone to find the best restaurant in Jinling and book several private rooms.

As for money, Lin Ruhai had both earned it through hard work and received rewards from the emperor. He had more money than he could spend every day, so Qingyin generously opened dozens of the best rooms in the restaurant.

The waiter at Lede Restaurant happily and attentively entertained the rare big customer, and even prepared hot water and some of the restaurant's signature dishes for the room.

However, it was not until the water was delivered that the waiter saw clearly the nobleman who was leading the group. His eyes widened. Is there such a handsome nobleman in the world?

Until the waiter returned to the counter, he looked dazed and confused.

Seeing the restaurant owner on patrol, a short and fat old man hit him hard on the head, breaking his daze.

"You little brat, you're not keeping an eye on me, are you?"

"Oh, shopkeeper, I don't have any. A young man just stayed in the top floor box. He is very, very handsome."

“No matter how beautiful it is, it’s no reason for you to neglect your duties!” The short and fat old man looked at the young waiter suspiciously and said half-doubtfully.

The waiter was interrupted by him and didn't dare to think about the young man anymore. He guarded the door seriously.

The restaurant gradually became quiet at night. The autumn moon was surprisingly round, and the cold moonlight and wind felt only cold and chilly on people.

Qingyin and her friends avoided the early autumn chill when they arrived at the hotel. After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, Qingyin came to the table.

There was already hot food on the table, two small plates of dim sum, a few hot stir-fried dishes and a pot of stewed fish soup.

After arriving on the mainland, Qingyin's appetite improved a lot. The fish soup was made from fresh silver carp just caught nearby, with few bones and fresh meat. He drank it very comfortably, and this bowl of fresh fish soup was also welcomed by everyone.

Perhaps because it is close to the river, people in Jinling are very good at cooking fish. Apart from the fish soup that will make you stunned at the first bite and other dishes containing fish that are all delicacies that will make your eyes light up, other simple dishes are obviously much more ordinary and cannot compare to the exquisiteness of people in the capital.

After a delicious meal, Qingyin waved away everyone else and prepared to take a nap in an attempt to avoid having to take Chinese medicine once a day.

"Wait, my Lord."

Qingyin looked at a bowl of black and bitter medicine that came from somewhere, with a worried look on his face. He didn't know where the imperial physician Jiang, who loved to watch him take medicine, got it from. This familiar bitter taste of medicine was so familiar to him that he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

"Where did you get the medicine?" Qingyin cleared his throat, and pursed his lips, which had become even redder after the meal, as if he was also resisting the medicine in front of him.

Looking at Lord Lin who was against Chinese medicine, Imperial Physician Jiang's baby-faced fair face smiled with two dimples, looking extremely adorable.

"Sir, I just borrowed the restaurant's kitchen to make it."

"Good medicine tastes bitter, please drink it quickly, sir. I have prepared some candied fruits." Imperial Physician Jiang, who has been with Qingyin for half a month, obviously knows how to handle the aloof Lord Lin. He smiled warmly and opened his hands as if giving a gift, revealing a bag full of crystal clear candied fruits.

Qingyin widened her eyes in slight confusion. Didn't Imperial Physician Jiang finish all the candied fruit for him before? How come another bag appeared?

As if knowing Master Lin's doubts, Jiang Lin smiled and explained, "I took a few more bags when Master was coming to Jinling."

The previous bag was indeed finished, and Jiang Lin's heart seemed to soften when he saw Lord Lin making a cute expression because of the candied fruit.

It's rare to see adults being cute, just like a child who is afraid of the bitterness of medicine and wants to eat candied fruit. If this behavior happened to a child, Jiang Lin might say that the child is childish and spoiled, but when it happened to Adult Lin, he thought it was so cute.

The famous double-standards Imperial Physician Jiang thought as it should when he saw the handsome Lord Lin.

After hearing Jiang Lin's detailed explanation, Qing Yin knew that she could not escape the bowl of bitter medicine in front of her.

The pain is long and the suffering is short, the same applies to taking medicine. Qingyin drank the medicine directly in one gulp, and the extremely bitter taste of the medicine burst out in his mouth. Fortunately, the candied fruit handed to him by Jiang Lin, the sweetness slightly drove away the bitterness, and he was barely able to relax his frowning brows.

After drinking the medicine, Jiang Lin had no reason to stay any longer. Although he was particularly reluctant, he still left Qingyin's room.

The room in the restaurant was quite spacious, about the same size as the guest room in the Lin Mansion. After rinsing her mouth with water, Qingyin took off her coat and lay down.

The only bed in the room was more than enough for a 1.79-meter-tall man to lie down. The quilt still had the scent of having been exposed to the sun. Qingyin could clearly see that the bed and quilt in this upper wing were washed, dried and cleaned regularly by the restaurant staff. Although she was overly particular about details, Qingyin was still quite satisfied with the hygiene of this restaurant and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

The beauty on the bed may have gone through various activities, and there are still mottled red spots on her face, which are particularly obvious on this white and transparent face, and also more vibrant.

It's like pulling away the halo that was blocking the fog, making the beauty even more vivid and lifelike.

It's a pity that no audience can appreciate this scene. Perhaps only the half-moon shining through the bed can give a glimpse of the beauty.

When I woke up the next morning, the sky was already light, indicating that it would be a good day.

Qingyin took a breath of fresh air toward the window, exhaled the foul air of yesterday, and felt much better.

There will be a tough battle today, so he has to dress well and wear something impressive.

Chun'er changed into a goose yellow dress today and walked in happily, ready to help the adults get dressed.

"Take the bright red robe." Qingyin said when she saw Chun'er hesitating about which one to take.

Chun'er was a little surprised. Looking at the adult who often didn't wear bright colors, she nodded in understanding and made up a reason for the adult. The adult must want to wear something bright and nice to pick up the young lady and make her happy.

Looking at Chun'er who was smiling foolishly, Qingyin smiled helplessly and tapped her head, motioning her to bring the clothes over so he could change them.

The bright red robe was embroidered with a circle of fine gold patterns and some dark red crabapple flowers, which printed on the robe made it look surprisingly beautiful. The bright red color was very picky, but when worn on a man, it did not suppress the color at all, but instead stimulated the unique bright colors of men, making the whiter, the redder, more gorgeous and extremely noble.

Although Chun'er thought her master looked good in any clothes, and bright red clothes would definitely suit him, she never thought they would look so good.

The adult in the red robe, because of the bright red color, made his flawless white face seem to have a bit more redness. The red blood color could not hide the excessive paleness of his face, and under the sunlight, he looked both celestial and devilish.

There is no hair ornament on her forehead yet, but the glazed brilliance when she raises her eyes is far more beautiful. The dark jade belt on her waist highlights her slender waist, which is swayed by the morning breeze. The bright red robe seems to come alive, making the wearer look like an immortal across the natural world, noble and impressive.
