Dong Zhongshu and the others arrived in Guangling City, but they were not in a hurry to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion first. Dong Zhongshu thought about it, lived in Guangling City for a few days, and saw what the place he hadn't been here for more than 20 years was like now.

More than 20 years ago, the young Dong Zhongshu was invited to the palace to give a lecture by Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who was well accepted as a hero in the world; Dong Zhongshu stayed here for half a year. Later, just because he was too young and knew that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was too selfish, there was no way to correct him. Divergent ambitions did not agree with each other, and Dong Zhongshu had no choice but to leave......

They first found an inn to settle down, slept well, and the next day began to look for someone. In order to get more clues, the three of them searched separately.

Guangling City has not changed much, the old houses are gone, and now Guangling Street is much more beautiful.

Guangling City is different from Chang'an, Chang'an is a wide street, and the streets of Guangling are not wide but distinctive. There are many small rivers flowing through the urban areas, and some markets are set up along the small rivers. There are shops on one side and a river on the other. The peddlers took up their stalls on the banks of the river and sold them. There are more small vendors by the river than shops, some sell tea eggs, some sell tea, some sell sugar cane, and some sell small groceries and knives and flowers......

There are those who buy things, and there are those who play. There is a small bridge connecting the two banks of this small river not far away, and tourists who do not buy anything can rely on the railing on the bridge to point or watch the boats passing in the river. Some tourists walk on the bridge, and the bridge is also bustling with people, some sit in a sedan chair, some carry a burden, ride a horse and sit on a donkey, all kinds of people.

The shops on Guangling Street are rich in goods, including silk and satin, jewelry, spices, incense, paper money, and countless categories; There are more food and drinks than Chang'an, and there are teahouses, wine shops, and snack bars on both sides of the street.

In particular, the snacks of Guangling are very distinctive, and they are mostly filled with seasonal wild vegetables with meat and cured meat, preserved fruits, and candied fruits, which change with the seasons. Dim sum seasoning tends to be fresh, crispy, and highlights the main flavor. Salty with sweet, sweet to fresh; The sweetness is glutinous and sticky, sweet and delicious, with the characteristics of rich and affordable northern dim sum and fine and colorful southern dim sum, unified shape and quality, exquisite materials, and forming its own characteristics!

Dong Zhongshu only glanced at these various things, and he didn't remember them later. What makes him unforgettable is the beautiful girls in Guangling City, all dressed fashionably. The beauties here are small and exquisite, but they all have jet-black hair, and they all have buns on their heads, and there is a beaded hairpin on the bun, and there are tassels hanging on it, and the tassels are swaying when they walk, floating in the air, which is really beautiful. The Guangling girl's skin was fair, her eyebrows were slender and picturesque, her eyes were shining like stars, and there was a small mouth under the bridge of her small nose, her lips were thin, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved upward, as if she wanted to seduce a young man......

Dong Zhongshu suddenly found that he was a little distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he blamed himself, the old guy had never seen a beautiful woman!

He is a Confucian master, he didn't come to see Jiangnan Girl, he came to find someone, how can he be distracted? Now start looking for someone in earnest!

His student's name was Wang Xinru, a son who used to be in the tea business at home. At that time, Wang Xinru was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and now more than 20 years have passed, he should be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, he only knows one name, and his family is in the tea business, can he find someone?

Whether you can find it or not, anyway, if you want to find it, Dong Zhongshu began to sound.

However, in Guangling City, which provoked a big person, it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack. After a day of asking, there was no valuable news.

It was almost time for the sun to set, and Dong Zhongshu's feet were swollen again, and when he couldn't walk anymore and was about to turn around to go back to the inn, he called Hanako with a dog beating stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other: "Good Samaritan, reward me a little." ”

Dong Zhongshu was nurtured by Confucianism, and he was not stingy in giving to others. He touched his pocket, took out the silver tael and put it in a bowl called Hanako.

Dong Zhongshu's generous hand is not a small amount, which made Hua Zile open his mouth, and looked at Dong Zhongshu with great gratitude. If you usually ask Hanako for so much money, she will say something nice to express her gratitude. However, today he didn't say words of gratitude, he found that Dong Zhongshu was kind and fairy-eyed, so he talked to him: "You seem to be looking for someone, right?" If you don't mind, let me help you with the staff? ”

Dong Zhongshu, who has no news for a day, doesn't care who you are, call Huazi Huazi, as long as there is a way to help him find someone.

Dong Zhongshu took a look at this person named Hanako. He doesn't look young, with messy hair and an uneven white beard, but his face looks energetic, not like the usual Hanako. Dong Zhongshu guessed that it should be the helper or something.

"This helper, at first glance, you are a knowledgeable person, and if you can get your staff and staff, you will definitely be able to find the person I am looking for. Thank you in advance. ”

Dong Zhongshu thanked him.

"It's not convenient for us to call Hanako to find someone, who wants to listen to Hanako to inquire about whom? But we'll put up a sign here and there for you, and it's okay. ”

So Hanako told him what he wanted. He asked Dong Zhongshu to bring a knife and pen tomorrow and go to the big camphor tree at the Guazhou ferry of the ancient canal to write signs, and he asked people to go to the vegetable market, farmers' market, city gate intersection, ferry and other places to hang signs; The sign says that if you can find a person named Wang Xinru who is almost forty years old and sells tea, you can go to a certain inn to receive a reward.

This is called Hanako as she stroked her long beard, so she was not confident.

asked Hanako to come up with such a way, Dong Zhongshu felt that his brain was no worse than his own, and it was really overkill to let him be called Hanako, and he was wronged.

asked Huazi to come up with such a good way for Dong Zhongshu, it seems that there is no truth at all in repaying kindness. If you use the method of calling Huazi, even if Wang Xinru lives in a remote place, someone will know where he is.

Where is this called Huazi is generally called Huazi, Dong Zhongshu paid attention to it, and looked carefully at the name Huazi. Although this person was ragged and had messy hair, his face was flushed and energetic, and his age might be almost the same as that of Dong Zhongshu. So, Dong Zhongshu respectfully saluted Huazi: "This old gentleman, what do you call it?" ”

Asked Hanako to poke the dog stick in the ground a few times, and said happily: "My surname is Hua, everyone calls me the flower gang leader, you can also call me the flower gang leader, and it is okay to call Lao Hua." Let me introduce myself, most of the beggars in Guangling City are my disciples. Originally, I didn't do begging, and I usually come out and take a bowl to make a show. Today, I see that you are a foreigner, with a kind face, and you are looking for someone, I will wipe your heart, if you have a good heart, I will find a way to help you find someone. ”

Dong Zhongshu was so happy, he seemed to find Wang Xinru excitedly, grabbed the hand of the helper and said, "Thank you, Hua Gangmaster, you are a good person." You are not only a good person, but also a wise person, can I worship you as a teacher? ”

The flower gang leader didn't agree, saying that Dong Zhongshu was not an ordinary person, how could he be accompanied by a flower?

The flower gang leader is unwilling, and he can't force it, the main task at present is to find someone, and with a good way to find someone, Dong Zhongshu is also happy.
