"Aunt Yu, I made a few of your last silkworm plaques and sent them to you!"

Not long after Chen Xu and the others left, a simple-looking young man came to the gate of the courtyard carrying a few silkworm plaques made of reeds, and shouted loudly to the woman who was still in a daze, sweating profusely.

"Oh, it's Xiaobo, come in!" The woman came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help put down the silkworm plaques.

"Aunt Yu, why is she still crying?" The young man asked differently while lifting his shabby clothes and wiping his sweat.

"Nothing, nothing?" The woman quickly lifted her clothes to wipe away her tears, and the girl scooped a scoop of cold water and handed it to the young man, "Brother Bo drink water!" ”

"Little Lian is good!" The young man took the water scoop and drank it in one gulp, returned the scoop to the little girl, and said, "Aunt Yu, I have to go to another house to send silkworm plaques, let's go!" ”

"Xiao Bo, wait, I'll give you the silkworm plaque money from last time and this time!" The woman hastened to say.

"Aunt Yu is not in a hurry, wait until you have more money!" The young man waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"Brother Xiaobo, my mother has money today, and a group of old men who came to play on horseback came to drink water and gave my mother a good-looking big money!" The little girl took the young man's hand and said.

"Drink water? Money? The young man was stunned.

"It's two young men and a handsome little lady, who drank a few scoops of cold water, and gave me a coin that I haven't seen before when I left, Xiaobo, can you help me see if this money is real?" The woman handed the young man a new, purple coin.

"Huh! Sure enough, it's a new coin! The young man's face was full of surprise, and he took a look at it and returned it to the woman, "Sister-in-law Yu, this coin is real, it is a new type of coin just issued by the imperial court this year, this kind of coin is rarely seen here in us, by the way, sister-in-law Yu, where did the two sons go?" ”

"To the lake!" The little boy pointed to the southeast.

"Sister-in-law Yu, I'll go first!" The young man turned and ran out of the courtyard.

"Xiaobo, give you money!"

"Don't use it, next time!"

The young man chased down the main road and disappeared in an instant.

……

The northeast direction of Pei County is Dushan Lake, the southeast direction is Weishan Lake, there is a large area of reeds in the middle of the range of tens of miles, which is full of reeds and lotus root chicken head water chestnut, the large and small water lakes in the middle are connected, a group of wild ducks and geese and other various water birds nest and lay eggs in the reed swamp to feed the young, from time to time there are fishing boats to come and go, startle countless wild birds to take off and scream and hover.

After Chen Xu and the others left the peasant woman's house, they walked along the shore of the lake, and sometimes they could see farmers and fishermen digging lotus roots and catching fish and shrimp, the clear lake water rippling in the sun, and the hovering birds mixed with the rough songs of fishermen from the depths of the reeds, and there was a strong wild interest in the quiet and tranquility.

There are many large lakes in China, Weishan Lake is also one of them, but compared with Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake, Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, these big lakes, the fame is much smaller, not that it is not big enough, on the contrary, it is the largest freshwater lake in the Central Plains, with an area of thousands of miles, consisting of four lakes connected to each other to form a huge wetland, the reason why it is not very famous is that the water system of Weishan Lake is not injected by big rivers, and the reason for the formation is only a huge swamp formed by the repeated diversion of the Yellow River, although it is large enough, but not deep, The function of water storage for flooding is not strong.

Weishan Lake is no stranger to Chen Xu, although he has never been here, but it is also like thunder, because this is the nest of the railway guerrillas back then, and it is a household name because of a TV series, and the popular theme song is known to all ages in China.

The horse's hooves had to walk through the reeds on the shore of the lake, facing the blowing lake breeze, looking at the swaying reeds and layers of lotus leaves and lotuses, startling the water birds from time to time, and in the sound of fluttering, Chen Xu's mood slowly became relaxed and comfortable.

This almost primitive scenery in front of us is almost impossible to see in later generations.

Here the aquatic plants are abundant, the fish and shrimp lotus roots are everywhere, the lake water is clear and clean, the world is clear and there is no trace of pollution, as long as you work hard, this is a promising era.

"Sister-in-law, there is a ferry in front of us, which is where the local fishermen dock their boats, how about we go to find a fishing boat to swim in the lake?" Jiang Chuxing rode his horse and followed Chen Xu and said.

"Okay, such a view, it's really a good idea to go boating on the lake, drive~"

Chen Xu knocked the stirrup and rushed forward first.

Sure enough, about a mile ahead, a huge open ferry appeared in front of you, dozens of fishing boats docked on the wharf made of wood and stone, there were many houses and wooden sheds on the shore, countless topless and dark-skinned fishermen were carrying lotus roots and fish and shrimp, the scene looked very lively, there were also fishing boats shuttling between the lotus leaves in the water, and the singing and noise were full of ears.

"Yes, yes, it's very lively!" Chen Xu was very happy to see the situation in front of him, and rode his horse to the bottom of a pergola and turned over and dismounted, Jiang Chuxing, Jiang Chuyue and several escort teenagers also dismounted together.

"It turned out to be Erlang, but today you want to buy some fish and shrimp?" Under the pergola, a young man in shorts greeted him and saluted.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you get enough of the whip yesterday? Jiang Chuxing pouted angrily.

"Hehe, I'm waiting for the thick skin and rough flesh, and the whip of the county magistrate is like a commonplace, and it doesn't hurt or itch......" The young man said with a dry smile and a shrunk of his neck.

"Hmph, it's best to be honest recently, Your Majesty is touring the southeast, arresting unscrupulous people everywhere, be careful when the imperial history who is inspected hears the news, it won't be as simple as being whipped at that time, go and help us find a big boat, there are nobles who want to swim in the lake today!" Jiang Chuxing handed the whip to a guard behind him and commanded.

"Could this be Xu Gongzi from Xianyang?" The young man looked at Chen Xu, and his face became much more respectful.

"You know me?" Chen Xu looked at this guy who looked like he was a fool curiously.

"I know, I heard that the husband of the third lady came from Xianyang to visit relatives, I already knew yesterday that we have beautiful scenery here, the fish and shrimp are plump, and the sun is shining today, it is indeed a good weather for visiting the lake, so I will arrange it~" The young man said with a smile.

"Hey, good eloquence, have you ever read?" Chen Xu was suddenly a little impressed by this hooligan.

According to Jiang Chuxing's explanation in Jiangbei Pavilion and playing all the way, although Chen Xu has not yet come into contact with the hooligans and idlers here, he can also hear from Jiang Chuxing's mouth that this is also a hooligan, and he may also come to collect protection money by staying in this wooden shed.

"I have indeed read poetry books for a few years, and I know a few words!" The young man replied with a smile.

Chen Xu: ......

Heaven is not afraid of the earth, but the hooligans are not afraid.

Since ancient times, cultured hooligans are not simple, and an ordinary hooligan who collects protection money knows how to read, which is very not simple in Daqin.

Chen Xu sighed a little, and at the same time felt that the original Chu Land was indeed different from the Qin State, the atmosphere of reading here was relatively strong, and it was different from the foolish policy implemented by the Qin State.

In Xianyang, many Guanzhong people Chen Xu met were illiterate, and almost all of the people who were literate and literate were people from other six countries.

It seems that this Pei County is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and Liu Bang started in Pei County, only relying on the advice of Xiao He and Cao Shen, the two county officials, finally achieved a great cause, overturned the Chu overlord to open up the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and laid and cast the soul of the Han people in China in one fell swoop.

Under the greeting of the young man, Zhang Luo soon brought two swarthy fishermen, an old man and a young man, over.

"Erlang, Xu Gongzi, these father and son are our best captains here, and their boat is very strong, so we guarantee that a few people are satisfied!" The young rascal said with a smile.

"Meet Erlang and Xu Gongzi, the third lady!" The fishermen, father and son, trembled and saluted to Chen Xu and the others.

"Sister-in-law, let's go!" Jiang Chuxing waved his hand and sent the young man away.

"Good job, reward you!" Chen Xu flicked his fingers, and a coin with purple light flew in front of the young man.

The young man took a look at it in his hand, and immediately smiled and bowed his hand: "Thank you, thank you Xu Gongzi, you can rest assured that you can swim in the lake, and arrange a few more boats to follow you around to protect your safety!" ”

A group of people followed the father and son fishermen to a wharf, and helped each other to get on a slightly old but indeed large wooden boat.

"Wait, that son, please wait!"

There were a few hurried shouts behind him, and when Chen Xu turned around, he saw a burly young man rushing from the direction where Chen Xu and the others had just come.

"Zhou Bo, what are you doing, don't collide with nobles!" The young rascal will stop and drink.

"Get out of the way, I'm looking for the boy on the boat!" With a flick of his hand, the person pulled the hooligan to the side, rushed to the dock and shouted at Chen Xu and the others who were sitting on the boat: "This son, named Zhou Bo, did you buy loach fish and shrimp and crabs from a little girl on the side of the road yesterday!" ”

"Zhou Bo?" Chen Xuleng suddenly stood up with a happy face and nodded: "Yes, on the way into the city yesterday, I met a little girl who was buying loaches and crabs on the side of the road, and I bought a pot and a fish basket together, are you here to ask for a clay pot and a fish basket?" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhou Bo shook his head again and again and said, "Yesterday, the son gave too much money, so I came to return the extra money......

"It's okay, it's just a few dozen dollars, Brother Zhou Bo is coming, can you accompany me and others to row a boat on the lake!" Chen Xu looked excitedly at the shabby and honest-looking burly young man in front of him.

Belch~

Chen Xu's words not only made Zhou Bo confused, but even Jiang Chuyue, Jiang Chuxing, and the hooligans who had just blocked the way couldn't help but look at Zhou Bo in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, do you know him?" Jiang Chuxing was puzzled.

"Haha...... I don't know! Chen Xu laughed and shook his head, but he instructed the captain to dock the fishing boat and personally go ashore to invite Zhou Bo to go on a boat and swim in the lake.

Zhou Bo was pulled onto the boat by Chen Xu in a daze, sat down in a daze, and in a daze, the fishing boat left the dock and went to the depths of the lotus leaf lotus, and left more than ten zhang in an instant.

"A few of you hurry up and follow the boat to protect Xu Gongzi and Erlang Sanniang!" The young hooligan, who had been in a position for a long time, came to his senses and ordered a few fishermen, several guards and teenagers to jump on the boats next to him, and a group of fishermen quickly followed with bamboo poles and oars.

"The lake where the scorching sun is scorching and swimming, it's all a group of northerners, and they haven't seen water in the dirt buns! But weird...... How could this Xu Gongzi be so enthusiastic about Zhou Bo? Looking at Chen Xu and the others who were gradually entering the depths of the lotus flower, the young rascal couldn't help but touch the back of his head and muttered, then turned around and continued to go back to the wooden shed to lie down and start napping.
