Chapter 82: A Poor Scholar Who Slaps His Face
The yams on the fence are flourishing, and Xia Yuanding is reluctant to give up on his home, but he has to leave!
If you ask him what he is studying for, he really can't tell, maybe it's because he has to do something here!
Seeing that his father and mother are busy every day, and even his sister is learning needlework, Xia Yuanding is ashamed, he feels that he should do something to live up to this youth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is this mentality that has come step by step in the past two years, asking what time it is, he is enjoying an era!
"When you get there, read well!" Xia Jizu's words were concise and to the point, in fact, he had prepared a lot of words, but at this moment, he suddenly became unable to speak.
"Dad, you all relax, everything has me!" Xia Shouren looked at the family, big and small, and basically all the people who could come, and spoke comforting to everyone.
This is the parting scene, Xia Yuanding sang in his heart, "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green......
With a wave of his sleeves, with the expectations of the whole family, he embarked on the journey.
Looking at the bamboo flute in his hand, suddenly Xia Yuanding felt that there was some taste of happiness in it!
Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate, and the poem should not be the scene, but he only thinks of these two sentences, ashamed!
"Yuan Ding is gone, let's go back too!" The adults had actually left a long time ago, only Xia Yuanding and they were still looking at the oxcart in the distance with envy!
When passing by the pond, looking at the lotus leaves in the pond, Xia Yuanding thought that the next time he went home, he didn't know if the lotus seeds in the pond were ripe, and he wanted to see the lotus flowers in full bloom.
"Yuan Ding, look at this year, it looks like another good year!"
There was nothing wrong with this, but Xia Yuanding was a little bored, for no other reason, because it was not the first time he had heard this. But now, although on both sides of the road, the corn seedlings are growing gratifyingly, but the crops depend on the sky, and it is not that you can harvest it with two good words.
"Reading people are hypocritical!" At this moment, Xia Yuanding can only define the uncle's emotional words in this way.
Let's not talk about the boring road trip, after saying goodbye to Xia Shouzhi, it was the waterway to Fucheng, and then the dry road to the state city, all the way was hard, Xia Yuanding felt that his ass was about to bloom!
At present, it seems that the hardships this time have caught up with all the previous ones, and it is better to take a boat in comparison. But in the end, there was no danger, and I didn't encounter robbers or robbers, but when I spent the night overnight, the roar of wild beasts in the mountains and forests made people frightened, such as wolves, creatures are real.
But as long as it wasn't a beast in the zoo, Xia Yuanding didn't like it, and naturally he wouldn't think of getting close to them, so Xia Yuanding had never seen what the wolves here looked like from beginning to end.
After going around and around, after bypassing a big green mountain, the field of vision suddenly became wider, and a river rushed to the east, and a big city was located between the mountains and rivers.
"Uncle, this is the state city?"
Standing on the high ground, Xia Yuanding can take in the whole picture of the entire state city, he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but occasionally look at the state city, the tall city wall, the towering lookout, the chessboard-like streets, the square market, and the undulating roof tiles, making the entire state city look neat and spiritual.
"yes, we're here!" Xia Shouren was also full of emotion, he suffered a lot along the way, and it was worth it to come and see such a place.
I don't know why, Xia Yuanding, who had rushed all the way, was already tired, but seeing that the state city was close in front of him, he actually had the strength again, which could only be caused by psychology!
The bustling crowd gathered at the gate of the city waiting to enter the city, and after Xia Yuanding followed his uncle into the city, he was attracted by the flags with different words written on the shops on both sides of the street, which swayed in the wind, which showed the development of commerce here.
"Uncle, come in and sit down!" In broad daylight, a red-clothed girl boldly and enthusiastically threw flattery at the passing travelers on the Chunxiang Building, and from time to time there were undetermined male compatriots who entered the Chunxiang Building surrounded by the girls.
"Uncle, let's find a place to settle down first!"
"It's been dusty along the way, let's find a restaurant to catch the wind first, what do you think of Uncle's proposal?" Xia Shouren asked.
Xia Yuanding disagrees with this kind of behavior of eating and drinking, you must know that the silver brought by many people in the family is saved by many people in the family, if they don't know how to be thrifty and squander it at will, they will definitely be shy in their pockets within half a month.
Although I don't know what the consumption level of this state city is, I can guess it by looking at the crowded traffic and wine shops, and it must be much higher than that of their hometown.
But after all, it was the first time to come, and it was really unreasonable if I didn't taste the food here, especially Xia Yuanding was still a foodie, so he could only nod his head and agree with the uncle's proposal.
After deciding, the two of them walked along the street, looking up and choosing which place to eat the best.
"Brother Tai, which restaurant in this city has the best dishes?"
Stopping a middle-aged man passing by, Xia Shouren began to inquire about the quality of the restaurant. The reason why he stopped this person was because he didn't dress like a poor man, if Xia Shouren really stopped an old man in rough clothes to ask, it would be really stupid, only if he has really been to various restaurants can he tell which one is good or bad, and those who have not been can only hearsay.
Why do you say that you look at the clothes first, this makes sense, dressing is the embodiment of a person's identity and status, and it can see a person's self-cultivation.
"The best, there is nothing else except the Yellow Crane Tower, I'm afraid you can't afford to eat, look at your appearance, you are also a poor scholar, what to pretend, tell you that you can't afford to eat, let's go to the street to eat flatbread!"
“……”
The result of the inquiry embarrassed the uncle, who believed that he was a scholar and did not have a seizure, but he was already trembling with anger. Unexpectedly, I found a person who seemed reliable to ask, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed as a poor scholar, this breath is really unbearable!
Xia Yuanding looked at the middle-aged man who left after insulting his uncle, and didn't speak for a long time, he didn't expect that the first time he came to the state city, the people in the city left a bad impression on him, although it was not him who was ridiculed, but it was equivalent to slapping him in the face, at this point, he and the uncle were one.
"Yuan Ding, let's go!" Calming down his emotions, Xia Shouren said.
"Where are you going?" Xia Yuanding raised his head and asked.
"Let's find an inn and stay first!" Xia Shouren replied.
Xia Yuanding saw the loneliness in the uncle's eyes, why after being ridiculed by others, the uncle would be lonely, Xia Yuanding guessed, it was nothing more than what people said was right, and the right ones made the ridiculed people unable to refute them, they were indeed poor scholars, and they really couldn't afford to eat the Yellow Crane Tower.
Yellow Crane Tower is the most prosperous restaurant in the whole Zhongzhou, the cheapest meal also costs a hundred taels of silver, how can ordinary people afford to eat, Xia Shouren didn't plan to go to this kind of place at all, he just wanted to find a slightly better restaurant!
"Uncle, is the Yellow Crane Tower really the best restaurant?" Xia Yuanding pretended to be very ignorant and asked.
"This, you know what this is doing, as long as you get a good name, you can go to any kind of restaurant."
"But I want to see what the Yellow Crane Tower looks like!" Xia Yuanding said with some yearning.
"Yuan Ding, we, let's not go, it's just a restaurant, and there's nothing to see!"
"Have you seen what the Yellow Crane Tower looks like?" Xia Yuanding asked.
"I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it!" Xia Shouren replied.
"That's it, then let's go and see if the man is bragging!"
Xia Shouren was convinced, thinking that it would be okay to just look at it, and there would not be a single hair missing from it, and there would be no mouth blessing, and it would be okay to feast your eyes!
In the end, Xia Yuanding just plans to see if he has other purposes, this is only clear to him, he himself may just look at the mood, if he feels tasteless, he just glances at it and leaves, if the Yellow Crane Tower is really as good as he said, then he doesn't mind showing off and walking once, so what the ending is not up to him, but to see how much strength the Yellow Crane Tower has!
