Hearing Fang Er's suggestion, Qian Heng immediately approved it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Bianjing City, what Qian Heng is looking forward to the most is the canals in the city that extend in all directions.
The inland rivers of the Great Song Dynasty were much more convenient than those of later generations.
The main street and the river are intertwined, forming a smooth transportation channel in Bianjing.
According to legend, the strange stones transported by the Birth Gang were transported to the back garden of the palace through the course of the Bianhe River.
In the cold winter of Bianjing City, the slightly narrow river channel has frozen.
However, there are still several main rivers, because to ensure the smooth flow of transport channels, there are people who are responsible for breaking the ice.
Being able to walk on the water in winter, Qian Heng couldn't tell what it was like.
But it's true that the cold wind on the water is colder than on the street.
The boat is not big, and there are four people in total, but it is quite spacious.
On both sides of the river, the sound of silk and bamboo comes from time to time.
The captain smiled and asked, "This son, like you, it is indeed rare to come out to take a boat in this kind of weather, so that the little old man can earn some money, and the little old man still wants to ask the son, are you coming to Bianjing to participate in the provincial examination next year?" β
Hearing the words of the father-in-law, Qian Heng's heart moved.
On the surface, he nodded quietly, "Yes, I have been studying for several years, so it seems that I can have the luck of being able to reach the first!" β
Qian Heng did not show a confident appearance, but bet more on luck in this scientific expedition.
It was Qian Heng's words that made the smile on the face of the captain more and more brilliant.
"This son, whether he can be admitted to the Jinshi or not, is not just a matter of luck!"
There was something in the captain's words, Qian Heng just smiled, "Of course, luck can only be luck, so students don't have to study for exams!" β
"Childe is too naΓ―ve, if you can get the opportunity to roll call outside the Donghua Gate, then how can the lords of the court live comfortably?"
"Oh? So, this uncle is also familiar with the ministers of the DPRK and China? β
Qian Heng deliberately used words to squeeze the other party.
The captain hurriedly shook his head, "I'm just a ship-handlebar style, since the prince is here to participate in the imperial examination, how could he not know that he wants to send a famous assassin to see your minister?" β
When the captain said this, Qian Heng suddenly understood a little.
"So, Uncle Captain can help introduce students to the way?"
Qian Heng continued to probe.
The captain suddenly laughed, "This son, you think of the little one too capable, the little old man said, it's just a way to support the boat, just now I just saw that the son is extraordinary, I don't want to see you because of other people's secret plans, cut off the road of the imperial examination, but I didn't expect that the son has regarded the little old man as the one who did the trick!" β
Qian Heng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Qian Heng realized at this time that he was too precautionary.
With a little more guilt in his heart, Qian Heng hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to this father-in-law.
"The students are guessing the degree, please forgive the old man!"
The captain smiled, "Childe can say this, I think he is also a loyal person, the little old man naturally doesn't care about Childe's words, but it's still that sentence, you have to be careful, don't affect Childe's reputation for the imperial examination because of those traitorous villains!" β
Although there was a misunderstanding, the estrangement between Qian Heng and this captain was also eliminated, and there was nothing to talk about.
At this time, Fang Eryi pointed to the front, "Young master, cross the bridge in front of you, go ashore from the side of the bridge, and you will be very close to our house!" β
Qian Heng nodded, and turned back to instruct the captain.
"It's also a fate to meet the uncle today, the student has something here, the uncle should love it, so he will give it to the uncle, and it should be an apology!"
Qian Heng said, took a wine ticket, and handed it to the captain.
The captain was still a little confused, "Childe, what is this?" β
Fang Er explained on the side, "This is a kind of wine ticket that is only available in our son-in-law's industry, and if you take this wine ticket, you can go to the store in Dingyuan and get ten jars and two pots of good wine!" β
Hearing this benefit, the frightened man changed his face.
"I can't help it, Childe, this can't be done!"
The captain supported the boat to send Qian Heng on this journey, which was only a hundred and ten big dollars, and it was only one or two dollars when converted into silver.
Now the wine ticket that Qian Heng took out casually is ten jars and two pots.
The captain is good at wine, stays on the water for a long time, and loves wine even more, so the reputation of the second pot head is very clear.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to buy the second pot head in Bianliang City. So much so that one jar and two pots have been fried to the price of ten yuan for one jar of wine.
What's more, before ordinary people get the news of the arrival of the wine, they have already been bought in batches by various wine shops and restaurants in the city.
Therefore, if anyone wants to drink these two pots, they can only go to the wine shop to taste it.
The business of the captain is not easy to do in winter, and the consumption of the most ordinary liquor store will start from a few hundred yuan.
This captain has only tasted the second pot head once, and he still fought for half a month of hard work to save the scattered silver, so that he tasted the legendary good wine.
In the impression of the captain, the second pot head is really delicious, although the second pot head in the wine shop is mixed with water, but the taste and taste, now that I think about it, I have an endless aftertaste.
But now, the son in front of him actually took out a ticket that could be exchanged for ten jars of good wine, and the old man was sincerely afraid.
Thinking of what he said to Qian Heng just now, the old man regretted it more and more, how could a master who could throw out so much good wine casually have no way?
The wine ticket in his hand is worth a hundred yuan.
The old man was a little incredulous.
Qian Heng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't shirk, it's just about to be the New Year, if the student is admitted to the Jinshi after the year, you have to ask the uncle to take a boat and swim the Bianhe River again!" β
Seeing that Qian Heng gave it sincerely, the captain was no longer polite, and hurriedly told Qian Heng the location of his residence, and naturally Fang Er quietly wrote it down.
Just when Qian Heng and his father were arguing over a wine ticket, no one noticed that there were several pretty figures passing by on the bridge in front.
But just as several women walked to the highest part of the bridge, one of them slipped and fell from the bridge diagonally.
With a pop, the sound of heavy objects falling into the water attracted the attention of Qian Heng and several people.
At this time, the ship was only seven or eight feet away from the bridge.
There was a woman on the bridge shouting for help, "The boy on the boat, please help rescue me and other little sisters, I am grateful!" β
Several women knelt directly on the bridge and asked Qian Heng on the boat for help.
In fact, there are no more people to ask for help, and it is impossible for Qian Heng to die without help.
When the hull of the boat was close to the place where it fell into the water, Qian Heng found that the woman had actually sunk to the bottom.
Originally, he wanted to be rescued on the boat, but now it seems that he can only go into the water to rescue, Qian Heng didn't think much about it, and jumped up directly and jumped into the water.
Seeing Qian Heng enter the water, Liang Hongyu, who had not yet reacted, was anxious, and shouted at the women on the shore, "You guys hurry up and arrange one person to get some wine to ward off the cold!" β
Someone left in response, but Liang Hongyu stared at the water, waiting until she saw Qian Heng rising, and she also flew into the water and helped Qian Heng to lift the woman whose body was frozen out of the water.
