You won't go, will you, to the distant shores? Who will stay behind in the central plains? The beautiful eyes are dim, it's time to adorn them. I'll ride my boat with a creaking sound, propelled by the fragrance of osmanthus.

  Let the Xiang River flow without waves, and let the Yangtze River flow peacefully! I look forward to your arrival, but who can guess when you will come? The osmanthus oars are fragrant, the orchid sails are thin. The ice is cut, the snow is piled up.

  I'll pick the water caltrops in the river, and pluck the hibiscus on the tree tips. Our hearts are different, the matchmaker's efforts are in vain. The affection is not deep, it's easy to break off. The stone brook babbles shallowly, the flying dragon soars lightly...

  Distant sister Fang Shixin is singing an ancient song.

  The Nine Songs from Chu Ci, written by Qu Yuan.

  Fang Xin revealed a hint of a smile and glanced sideways at Xiao Bing.

  Xiao Bing wore a white thick skirt today, elegant and refined, with every move exuding an air of calm nobility. The cold wind gently swept by, causing the hem of her skirt to flutter slightly.

  Although she had a deep inner breath, in December, her skirt still revealed crystal clear thighs, which really made him want to laugh.

  As for Xiao Bing's affairs, he vaguely remembered that they had been together since childhood, and indeed, when she was 10 years old and he was 8 years old, they even took a bath together!

  He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of himself, eight years old at the time, groping her all over. The girl had matured early and had already started developing by the age of ten.

  However, after several years of not seeing her, she was even more beautiful and charming than before, making it hard for him to believe.

  This time going forward was actually going to Xiao Bing's old home, but Fang Shi Xin insisted on following along. Seeing her running over, he slightly furrowed his brow.

  "What's wrong, pretty?" The girl turned around with a pleased smile.

  "Pretty, but, lovely Fang Shixin classmate, wearing like this, don't you really feel cold?" Fang Xin withdrew his gaze and asked.

  The girl in front of her, Fang Shixin, was wearing a dress with a high-necked white top that showed slight waves and had embroidered flowers on the hem. The skirt below was slightly short and tight, revealing her thighs above the knee by about three parts. Although there was no worry about being seen through, it did show off the girl's slender and white legs. However, wasn't it December now?

  "Look, even Ice sister dresses like this, she gave it to me. Hmph, bad brother, only gave me a plush toy and wanted to abandon me to play alone. Ice sister, don't bother with him in the future." Fang Shixin stepped forward, shaking Xiao Bing's hand.

  In fact, now Xiao Bing is the oldest, and after this month, she should be eighteen years old. She touched her head and smiled: "Let's go, it's almost time to board the ship, others won't wait for you!"

  Fang Shixin heard this and didn't make a fuss anymore, just gave him a white eye and let it go.

  It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the ship had indeed arrived. The crowd on board was quite crowded. Fang Xin subconsciously held onto his sister's and Xiao Bing's small hands, preventing the tide of people from sweeping them away.

  However, when they arrived at the ticket checking point, Xiao Bing pulled him back and walked to another entrance: "No, let's go this way."

  As she spoke, she withdrew her hand and inserted a card into the card machine. The door opened.

  Seeing Fang Xin's slightly hesitant expression, she couldn't help but smile: "Fang Xin, have you forgotten what kind of family I come from? When we go to Xiangjun Temple to burn incense and worship, we don't need to buy tickets."

  "Oh, I forgot, your family still has a title, isn't it the hereditary Viscount of Junshan?" Fang Xin remembered, in this world originally, Fang Xin was a young man who didn't put these things in his heart at all, but to the current Fang Xin, he was really shocked.

  "It's different now, this title is just a name, only with some special privileges." Xiao Bing walked in and put the card away.

  Although Xiao Bing said it lightly, Fang Xin did not dare to take it lightly

  After the Sui dynasty, there was Tang Taizu, who ruled for 500 years. After the Tang, there was Zheng, who received the Mandate of Heaven and ruled for 300 years. Later, there was Yan, who also received the Mandate of Heaven and ruled for 300 years. Then, there was the Huachao dynasty, where the Li family obtained the throne and ruled for 300 years. The world was in chaos, with regional warlords vying for power. Afterwards, various towns united to establish a parliamentary system, limiting imperial power and implementing constitutional monarchy, which has continued until now.

  In front of the cloud dream lake, it is actually the original Dongting Lake on Earth. However, this inner lake has not undergone artificial filling and reclamation, so it is vast like a sea, with an area of 6,000 square kilometers, containing four rivers, swallowing the Yangtze River, regulating floods, controlling Chu and Wu, and being the first inland lake in China.

  The Xiao family was enfeoffed from the Tang Dynasty and served exclusively as attendants of the two goddesses of Mount Jun, Xiangjun and Xiangfu.

  And there are hereditary households serving the Lord of Xiang and the Lady of Xiang, also known as Xiang households, with a total of 100 households. This system was established during the reign of Emperor Taizu of Tang and has been continued by successive dynasties without interruption. Although there have been times when the title was abolished, it was later restored, and this remains unchanged to this day.

  Up to now, 1,800 mu of land in Junshan still belongs to the Xiao family, known as the millennium-inherited aristocratic family of China.

  Yunmeng Lake has clear water, beautiful scenery and rich fish resources. It has been a popular resort for recuperation and travel since ancient times, so the surrounding villas are mostly owned by wealthy people, including royal families.

  Of course, nobles no longer have any political privileges now, but a thousand years of hereditary succession still commands respect.

  The boat went very fast, and half an hour later, Junshan was in sight, right in front of the two. A tour guide was already saying: "Everyone pay attention, Junshan is coming up soon! Junshan was a mountain enclosed by Qin Shi Huang, while Tang Taizong opened it up, this is a legendary story that has been passed down for thousands of years!"

  Tourists had long known about this. Most people looked afar at Junshan or whispered to each other, but only Fang Xin listened intently.

  According to legend, when Qin Shi Huang toured the world, his boat passed by Junshan Mountain and suddenly a strong wind and waves arose. Shi Huang was furious and said: "I am the true son of heaven, sailing on a boat, it should be calm and peaceful, who dares to make waves?" Then he asked those around him: "What place is this?" The attendant replied that it was Junshan Mountain. Upon hearing this, Shi Huang became even more enraged and said: "Under the heavens, only I am the ruler, how can a mountain also be called 'Jun' (ruler)?" He then ordered 3,000 convicts to cut down all the trees on the mountain and had an edict carved into the stone wall.

  The tour guide was a middle-aged man who seemed to ignore the discussions below and continued to say: "500 years later, Tang Taizong ascended Junshan Mountain, issued an order to open up the mountain, built the Temple of Xiangjun and Xiangfu, set up the Xiang household registry, and erected the White Emperor Tower, which has been passed down to this day."

  Fang Xin was very interested and wanted to continue listening, but at this time, the boat had already docked on Junshan Island. The tour guide stopped talking and led the group forward, while Fang Xin also hurried forward.

  Everyone who has been to Junshan Island, the first thing is to offer incense and worship to the female god of this land, so people are walking in one direction.

  Near the temple, there is a bamboo forest first. This is the famous tear-stained spotted bamboo and the square bamboo that looks round but feels square to the touch. Walking further ahead, in front of us is a pine forest with twisted branches coiling like dragons and snakes. After passing through the pine forest, we see a temple with a plaza about 100 meters wide and long. The outer wall of the temple has ancient seals on its gates.

  "Brother, shall we go in?"

  "It's better not to, let's just line up, why use privilege? This is disrespecting the queen." Fang Xin said as he pulled his sister's hand and lined up to wait. In response, Xiao Bing only smiled.

  This is her home, she pointed out casually, explaining one by one.

  Actually, the scenery here is quite good, especially for Fang Xin now. In front of the temple, there is a square with fountains, artificial hills and sculptures. These sculptures are historical figures, unfortunately, Fang Xin has only roughly read about these historical figures in history books.

  Not far away, there is a winding small road, and on the side of the small road, there are long benches for tourists to rest.

  The laughter of passersby was transmitted over. Fang Xin's mood was pleasant, and he took a few steps forward, while the fountain was on his side, with water vapor floating over.
