Liu Yu naturally took a piece of preserved fruit from the bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "But Meng Chang's heart is not very broad-minded. This man is very capable, but he doesn't seem to want to show his talents so quickly. In other words, now is the time when the country employs people and needs to recruit soldiers, but Meng Chang doesn't want to be targeted at the army so quickly. ”

So, he put it in front of him. If these three families really settle down, they are afraid that Tan Pingzhi and Wei Yongzhi will join the army, and this Meng Chang will wait and see. ”

"However, it seems that Meng Chang is not the kind of northern family. If there is really a northern family coming, I am afraid that they will also go to Guangling City to see the officials first, these people are escorted by General Xie who guards Guangling, how can they let them come to find the assassin themselves. ”

Xu Xianzhi nodded: "However, didn't the person surnamed Meng say that there is a noble person coming behind?" ”

Liu Yu's gaze fell on the river: "It should be here." ”

A ferry boat has crossed the river, along with the strong blowing river wind, a clear singing voice clearly reached the ears of Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi: "The boat is full of hundreds of wines, and the sweetness is placed at two ends at four o'clock, holding the wine jue in the right hand, holding the crab claw in the left hand, and shooting the floating wine boat, it is enough for a lifetime!" ”

As this song came with the wind, a smell of roasted crabs also wafted over, Liu Yu shook his head: "Don't forget to eat crabs when you take a ferry, it seems that it is really a noble person who came." ”

The ferry was firmly anchored on the shore, and the captain jumped off the bow and lowered the pedals.

There were not many people on the boat, only a dozen or so, all of them were well-dressed, and none of them were like the three families just now, and it could be seen at a glance that they were refugees from the north.

After seven or eight people dressed as merchants stepped off the boat, the last two people who came out made everyone's eyes focus, and they even stopped breathing.

The one who came down before, in his early forties, with a green robe and scarf, a hand-cranked feather fan, and wide robes and large sleeves, although it was just a silk dress worn by ordinary scholars, he still had a fairy-like temperament.

Its face is like a crown of jade, delicate facial features, red phoenix eyes, sword eyebrows and long hair, black beard and chest, the river breeze blows gently, compared with those little white faces who habitually apply powder to their faces in this era, although this middle-aged man does not apply powder, but can still be called peerless, the so-called celebrity and gentleman, but that's it.

The one in the back, dressed in a white robe, was forty or so people, and the others had already disembarked, and he remained in the cabin, sitting on the Hu bed (an ancient seat, similar to a modern bench).

His appearance is better than the one in front, with picturesque eyebrows, big eyes, white complexion like jade, wearing a hosta, hanging hair to the waist, the river breeze blowing, the robe hair is elegant, the nine heavens are immortals, but that's it.

The white-robed Xiushi held a crab shell in his right hand, and he gently licked the crab roe on the shell, while in his left hand he held a brocade handkerchief, wiping the cream on his mouth from time to time. Beside him stood a sturdy servant, cloth-clad and fast-booted, with a powerful force, and a porcelain spit pot in his hand.

Every time the white-robed Xiushi ate a bite of crab roe, another servant on the side offered a bamboo tube of water, he coughed, turned his head and spit into the spit pot held by the servant on the left, and continued to eat the next bite.

In this way, after six or seven back and forth, the white-clothed Xiushi finally ate the crab shell, burped with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "To the wine Linjiang, suck the cream yellow, life is proud, and dreams are crazy!" Hahahaha, you're young, it's a pity that you don't eat with me! ”

The scribe in Tsing Yi smiled slightly: "A Ning, back then, Huan Xuanwu (Huan Wen, the powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was called Xuanwu after his death) said well, Jingkou wine can be drunk, soldiers can be used, and the beauty here is not only the delicious food in the river?" ”

The white-clothed Xiushi got up and got off the boat, and said with a smile: "Okay, this time it's okay to accompany my brother to visit here, I want to see what is so wonderful about this Jingkou wine." ”

Liu Yu stepped forward and looked at these two scribes, now he was very sure that these two people had such good appearances, they should be children of a high-ranking family.

The children of these families are either in high positions and control the government; or indulge in mountains and rivers, travel the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people like themselves are not people of the same world at all.

But the more this is the case, the more you can't snub them, at least as a local Lizheng, you have the responsibility to welcome and send them, listen to their accent is not like the northerners, but the Jiangdong locals, asking them where they come from, is their own business.

The scribe in Tsing Yi had also noticed Liu Yu a long time ago, just now when the white-clothed Xiushi was eating crab shells, he had been looking up and down at this strong man like a bear and tiger, nodding his beard slightly, and seeing Liu Yu walking forward, he smiled elegantly: "This strong man, what advice do you have?" ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "I am Liu Yu of Lizheng Liu Yu of Garlic Township, Jingkou Town, Yanzhou in the south of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I was ordered to check and greet the merchants who came and went here, and settled the northern people. ”

The white-clothed Xiushi's face sank, and he said a little unhappily: "You see the way I wait, and you also want to check the guide?" ”

The Tsing Yi scribe smiled slightly and said, "A-Ning, people are also performing official duties, which is understandable. As he spoke, he untied a wooden sign from his waist, handed it over, and said, "This is my guide." ”

The white-clothed Xiushi also reluctantly untied the waist card and handed it over, Liu Yu took it and began to look at the words on it, fortunately, the wooden card was not engraved with a small seal, but an authentic italics, and the words were also recognized by him.

The Tsing Yi scribe is named Liu Linzong, and the white-clothed Xiushi is called Yang Linzi, all of whom are the names of ordinary people (in this era, most of the scholars are single-character names, and the two-character names with them are the family's belief in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, such as Wang Xizhi, etc., and the grass people and merchants Jia Cai use the two-character name, which is Liu Yu, a low-level scholar, is also a single-character name), and the other servants are all followed by the surnames of the two masters, and the waist card is opened in the Jianwu General's Mansion in Guangling, and there is a mark under it, which is by no means a forgery.

After Liu Yu checked it, he handed back the two wooden cards and said, "May I ask what the two of you do for a living, and what are you doing in my Jingkou?" ”

Liu Linzong smiled slightly and took the waist card: "Both of us are merchants, and we also like to travel in the mountains and rivers, so this time I want to come to Beijing to take a walk, Liu Lizheng, is there any problem?" ”

And Yang Linzi didn't take the waist card, he glanced at a servant beside him, the servant stepped forward to take the waist card, grabbed it in his hand, and Yang Linzi said coldly: "Since the waist card is correct, young, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he walked forward without looking back, Liu Yu watched him walk, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, took the waist card in the hand of the servant next to him, put it on his hand and wiped it vigorously, and then threw the silk handkerchief directly into the grass on the side of the road, as if there was something on the wooden sign that he could not touch.
