Thousands of miles of waterway, thousands of miles in the south of the Yangtze River, half of the Jinling.

In the middle of April of the eighteenth year of the avenue, it is spring, the silver is faded, the spring color of the city is in full view, the river along the coast is endless, and the travelers in the past either stop to watch the different scenery, or hurry up, and there is a ripple.

Jiang Yun and Mo Yinian have been taking the waterway south for more than a month since leaving Huai'an County, and they arrived in Jinling, which is one of the areas of Jiangnan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan County.

As the saying goes, the south of the Yangtze River is full of gold, this sentence is actually true, there are weavers along the coast of the Jiangnan area, usually for a machine household to hire more than ten weavers in the form, so the people who reel silk are also common. Merchants buy woven brocade from various households along the river, and then sell it to all parts of Dayan through canals.

The prosperity of Jiangnan merchants also made Jiangnan tax account for two-thirds of the Great Yan, which is a well-deserved cornerstone of the national treasury.

Jinling City is located at the hub of the Jiangnan region, which echoes Lin'andu, and the port is full of ships passing by to load and unload goods every day.

On the river in Jinling City, on a light boat, Mo Yinian was boiling tea carefully, and Jiang Yun was closing his eyes to recuperate. The two of them ran all the way from Xiyuan City to Jinling, it took more than two months, and Jiang Yun also felt a little tired under the continuous rush, so he planned to rest here for a few days before leaving.

Now the place where they are located is also the famous Qinhuai River area in Jinling, the Qinhuai River area is famous for the Qinglou and scholars, and the annual Jinling Poetry Conference also attracts many scholars to participate.

The Qinhuai River is surrounded by a forest of green buildings and other wind and moon places, warblers and swallows are a good and not prosperous scene, from time to time you can hear the sound of poetry from the nearby pavilions.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the boat, followed by a louder and louder voice, mixed with the sound of approaching scolding and the sound of running away.

"Catch this apprentice!" A beautiful woman along the shore stared at a fat man not far away, but who ran faster than expected, "Whoever catches him has a reward!" ”

The fat man was dressed in a light blue scholar's suit with a crown hat on his head, but his visible belly faintly wanted to tear the scholar's suit. The pursuers behind him also continued to increase with the shout of the beautiful woman,

In the Qinhuai River, there are many green buildings, everyone can come here to enjoy a moonlit and elegant thing, if you accidentally enter the eyes of a certain Oiran to spend a good night with it, it is also a capital to talk. But if it is like this fat man who does something of flirtation, then the scholar who has read the books of the sages will be as turbulent as today, and will not hesitate to pick up the fellow and chase after him.

But the fat man was very capable of running, and a group of people behind him chased after him, but he was gradually distanced by him, and his heart was even more angry.

"I want to chase you fat man, I'm hundreds of years early! Lao Tzu's life in the flower field is not easy to talk about! ”

When the people behind him saw that the distance was widened, they threw out the objects in their hands one after another, and there was a crackling sound for a while.

But although the fat man was fat, he was extremely nimble, and in a moment of his turn, the objects passed by him.

"Don't try to escape!" When the soldiers in front saw this situation, they also gathered together, blocking the way of the fat man.

"Grandma's, this group of sour men is really difficult." The fat man's secret path is not good, there is an interception in the front, and there are comers in the back, there is simply no escape.

The pursuers behind him saw this situation, their eyes lit up, and there was even a happy scene of the dead fat man being ravaged in their minds.

The distance between the front and rear pursuers continued to shorten, and the fat man stopped his steps, and the pursuers everywhere also slowly approached.

The fat man looked around, saw the endless Qinhuai River, smiled, jumped into the Qinhuai River, and stirred up a large splash.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and some of them fell to the ground with a "clang".

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes.

Mo Yinian went out of the light boat to check it, turned his head and said, "It seems that a disciple jumped into the river." ”

"Jumping into the river?" Jiang Yunguaner, "This is also unprecedented. ”

"There will be no one after that." With a "whoop", a sentence came out faintly behind Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun and Mo Yinian immediately got up and watched, only to see a fat man with a cloak and a wet body climbing onto the boat one by one, and secretly looked at the situation outside.

"Haqiu-" The fat man sneezed, his body trembling a little, "I didn't expect my fat master to jump into the river today, it's too embarrassing!" ”

Jiang Yun gave a look, and Mo Yinian handed a blanket to the fat man.

The fat man took the blanket and covered it on his body, he glanced at Jiang Yun and Mo Yinian, "In Xiabeigong Boyu, I just saw that beautiful woman was very beautiful, but accidentally that beautiful woman's waist touched my hand, she actually misunderstood me, alas, it was really tormenting!" My Beigong Boyu is dignified, and she actually called me a disciple..."

Beigong Boyu was there gushing about Fang Cai's own experience, and when Mo Yinian and Jiang Yun were stunned, Jiang Yun noticed the word "Beigong". He still remembered what Liu Changqing said that day, if he was not mistaken, this little fat man was from the Beigong family who had gone to the South Seas to make the barbarians obey the court.

Today, he met the Beigong family, one of the four families of Dayan, which was also an unexpected gain. But in any case, it is difficult for him to associate the "barbarian court dress" with the fat man who is molesting the woman in front of him.

"Thank you for your help today!" Beigong Boyu said, he looked at Jiang Yun, "Judging by your appearance, you probably haven't found an inn yet, or go to the inn opened by my family." ”

"Okay." Jiang Yun said with a smile.

There are not only green buildings in the Qinhuai River, but also inns. Most of these inns are well decorated, and the internal structure is much higher than what Jiang Yun saw in Xiyuan City, but compared to the inn that Beigong Boyu took them to, there is no way to compare. This inn run by the Beigong family occupies the most area, and the decoration is also the most luxurious, and the shopkeeper saw Beigong Boyu coming, and he also hurriedly came to salute.

Beigong Boyu nodded, with the style of everyone's children, but Jiang Yun could clearly see that Beigong Boyu's eyes were locked in one direction as soon as he entered the inn. Looking in this direction, you can see two young girls sitting quietly.

Beigong Boyu stared at the two girls with squinting eyes, and kept walking forward.

"Brother Boyu..."Jiang Yun was about to remind, but before he could finish, he only heard the sound of a heavy impact, and then saw a huge pile of objects fall to the ground.

"Young Master! Come on! The shopkeeper hurriedly called for someone to come. "The young master must not damage his head, there are more than three months left, and the old body can't afford it..."

Jiang Yun and Mo Yinian hid aside very tacitly, pretending not to know this person.

With Beigong Boyu falling, the two of them couldn't help but smile above the restaurant outside the inn.

"That Beigong Boyu is still like that. Dongmei, the poetry conference will start in three days, and the dead fat man grabbed the flag this time, I'm afraid it's just for his own little fancy intestines. ”

"Miss, look, those two are also there, and Fang Cai came in with the second son of the Beigong family."

The woman looked in the direction that Dongmei was pointing, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Jiang Yun and Mo Yinian silently hiding aside, "I didn't expect them to get together." ”

Beigong Boyu, who had just hit the pillar and fell, woke up under the shopkeeper's practice of pinching people and pouring ginseng soup, he was a little dazed, and opened his eyes with a hazy sense of direction, and saw the two people in the restaurant opposite.

"Huh?" Beigong Boyu saw the two of them, and his heart was excited, and his fat body couldn't help but tremble, "Fat master, I must have seen it wrong!" ”

He wiped his eyes, only to see the two men looking at him with a smile on their faces, one of them holding a small dagger in his hand and dangling for a moment.

Beigong Boyu felt a chill in his lower body, and hurriedly got up and ran back to the room, and did not forget to leave a few words, "Arrange Lao Tzu's friends!" ”

"Mom, why is that crazy girl here, I am scared of the fat man."

Beigong Boyu dares to flirt with most women in the world, which can be seen from the glorious behavior of peeking at his maid's bath when he was eight years old and being found out by his mighty father, and he still chose to peek at the maid in the next house taking a bath. But for the person he just saw, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the shadow of almost being killed by her in his childhood still lingered in his mind.

"No, I have to find a few helpers!" Beigong Boyu thought about it, he thought of Jiang Yun and Mo Yinian who he met this morning.

"Reminiscing about the New Year, let's stay here for the time being, rest for a while and then hurry." Jiang Yun said, "The formation of more than two months is also a bit tiring. ”

"Childe." Mo Yinian thought for a while and said, "I think that Beigong Boyu should be one of the four sons of the Beigong family. ”

"I think so too, and the shopkeeper's attitude towards him is also unusual."

"If there are no accidents, he should also participate in the academy examination." Mo Yinian said slowly, "The three major families of Dayan should all send people to participate in the academy's examination, after all, the academy is of great significance to their continuation. ”

"The three major families..."Jiang Yun thought silently.

"Originally, it belonged to the four major families..."Mo Yinian looked a little regretful, "Listening to what my father said, the Jiang family of the four families of Xuanyuan in Chen Jiangbei Palace was beheaded by the whole family more than ten years ago because of rebellion, and no one survived..."

With that, there was a soft knock on the door.

Mo Yinian opened the door and found that it was Beigong Boyu.

"Two, in three days, the annual poetry conference in Jinling will begin, how about enjoying your face." Beigong Boyu looked a little serious and said very seriously.

Jiang Yun didn't answer immediately, this Jinling Poetry Fighting Conference is also a major event in the Dayan literary world, there will be countless scholars to participate, if you can show your face, then maybe you can get the appreciation of a certain person, or it is also a wonderful thing to make a beautiful woman fall in love at first sight.

Mo Yinian gestured to Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yun was about to say something, but suddenly found that his thigh was hugged by Beigong Boyu.

"Brother Yun, you must help me! If that crazy girl comes, I'm afraid I'll be killed! After that, Beigong Boyu cried and cried, and tears and snot came out.
