The initial government of Huizong was considerable, and Han Zhongyan did it, not Han Zhongyan's ability.

- "Song Treatise"

"Won't an accident happen to a woman walking alone in the countryside like this?"

Looking at Qi Da's dashing back as he turned to leave, Chu Feng asked with some amazement.

"Don't look at her as a girl, three or five men can't get close. Alas! It is also a child with a rough background, walking the rivers and lakes alone, with only one horse close to him, and he was taken in by the Meng Dong family a few years ago and helped in our store. I heard that at that time, she was hungry and full of martial arts, but she did not steal, rob or sell horses, if it weren't for the kindness of our host, I don't know if she would have survived now. But don't say it, I've seen her horse, I don't know about horses, but Soma people say it's a god horse. She never used a horse from the post house to and from place to place, but only took her own one, and did not change horses in the middle, and was more fast than the other riders who changed horses. Hehe, I don't know, but she always knows something. By the way, you come with me, and I'll introduce you to the rest of the shop......"

Shopkeeper Zhao led Chu Feng to the backyard while telling these strange things about Qi Da: "That Qi Da is also a strange woman, she can shoot arrows with a bow on horseback, and she can also take people's lives with a knife on flat ground, so when she doesn't have to run around, the owner also let her travel with the ladies in the house as a care." A few months ago, during the Lantern Festival, there was a drunk man with short eyes who harassed the female dependents of the house on the street, and the soldiers who were patrolling the night next to him had not had time to move...... Gee! She's also a well-known figure in our Tokyo city! Yes! Old Huang Lao Huang, stay here! This is Chu Langjun Chu Chaofeng from Hangzhou City! Chu Feng. This is Lao Huang, Huang's shopkeeper. This store in our Tokyo city is under his control, and our owner is the real right and left hand. ”

"Lao Zhao, why do you make fun of me...... Chu Langjun? Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! I've heard about you for a long time. Whether it's the owner or this old Zhao, they are full of praise for you......"

……

……

was taken around by Shopkeeper Zhao and got to know a lot of people and places, but Chu Feng really didn't remember much.

His memory of people's names and appearances is a little poor, and he was flooded with a lot of information in the morning, and he was really a little overwhelmed.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of Fan Qiubai. What kind of Lan Xinhui can make her not only remember the names and appearances of hundreds of people up and down, inside and outside the Fan family, but even remember their various family backgrounds, likes and dislikes?

I'm afraid. It's really a talent.

This kind of talent, Chu Feng asked himself if he really didn't have it, and now he can only try his best to write down some of them, at least the key figures such as the shopkeeper Huang and the account office have been remembered one by one, and the other characters have to be slowly familiarized.

At noon, Shopkeeper Huang had something to do, so Shopkeeper Zhao took Chu Feng to the restaurant opposite for a light meal, and pointed out his identity to the shopkeeper opposite by the way. Tell the restaurant that if Chu Feng comes back in the future, just keep the account directly.

Chu Feng had never experienced such a public money to eat and drink, so he was a little uncomfortable at this time, and told the shopkeeper Zhao in private. Just pay for it yourself. Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said: "How do you say that you are also a courtier of our Fan's calligraphy and painting shop, if you come out to eat and have to spend your own money, then the matter will spread." I'm afraid that other peers will see the jokes in our store, and it is not a good thing to be public or private. It's just a few meals ago. Don't worry, our host won't be poor by you in a few meals! Again. It's customary, and you don't have to. ”

When Chu Feng heard this, he responded, but he inevitably thought in his heart that it would be better to eat less here in the future.

When I asked about the food in the store, it sounded good, but there was no lunch...... In this era, there are still very few people who actually eat lunch, but fortunately, some snacks and tea prepared for guests are available at any time, and they are not hungry.

Chu Feng asked casually, only to realize that he had been spinning around in terms of eating, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, thinking that he was really a foodie.

inquired about the calligraphy and painting in the store again, and the shopkeeper Zhao explained with a smile: "I have long heard that Chu Langjun is a painting idiot, and the calligraphy and painting in our store, you naturally have a rough look, which is similar to that in other stores, divided into three, six, nine and so on." Ordinary calligraphy and painting don't need to be too concerned, if Chu Langjun feels something interesting, he can go to the warehouse at any time to find it and play with it, and it's no problem to take it home occasionally. But if it's a treasure, everyone's work...... Let's put it this way, Chu Langjun can play in the warehouse, but don't bring it out at will. ”

Chu Feng listened and nodded hurriedly: "This is natural!" If I accidentally get dirty or broken, then I am a sinner for the ages! ”

Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Chu Feng said seriously: "It's not that serious, let's do this business, to be honest, even if it is a precious calligraphy and painting, there will be some small problems occasionally." Fortunately, there are experts in our store, in case something really happens, tell the shopkeeper Huang, most of the things can still be repaired. ”

"I see." Chu Feng nodded in response, and he was also very curious about these restoration masters in his heart.

"Chu Langjun's usual work must be in accordance with the arrangement of the shopkeeper Huang, after all, he is the shopkeeper here. But presumably it should be mostly in terms of identification, with Chu Langjun's vision and eyesight, it must be a matter of hand. ”

Chu Feng shook his head and smiled: "I actually know very little things, I can only do my best to do and learn." ”

"Chu Langjun is too humble."

The two had eaten, drank tea and said a few words. Referring to the loss of the goods going north, the shopkeeper Zhao sighed: "In the final analysis, this matter is still my responsibility, I have already handed over my resignation to the owner, but I was suppressed by the owner." Alas! I'm ashamed! I'm afraid that there are tens of thousands of lost goods, and I can't afford to pay back my wages for the rest of my life. If you put it in another store, it's not impossible to take me directly to the official. Our owner is benevolent and righteous, I am really, really...... Ay! ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said emotionally, and his eyes were red directly.

After bowing his head to cover up for a moment, Shopkeeper Zhao raised his head again and smiled: "Fortunately, things have come to an eye now." The proprietor entrusted the relationship with the government to investigate. The problem should be on the passenger ship. The news from Hangzhou said that the whole family of the boss of the ship had disappeared overnight. Now that I count it, I'm afraid it's his hands and feet...... Ay! I've known the ship boss for years. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. Cease! It's my fault, too. If I hadn't been so gullible to him, and had disembarked not hastily inspected the cargo, but scrutinized, it might not have happened. Ay! It's my responsibility! ”

Chu Feng shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, in fact, I think that the way things are now, it is already the best result. You think, since the boat boss had already made up his mind to drop the bag. This kind of thing is definitely not something he can do alone, and the crew of the ship is naturally involved. If you really found something wrong during the inspection and pointed it out directly, I'm afraid, heh, the captain and crew of the ship would not be able to admit it and return the calligraphy and painting directly? Even if we can be blameless. They have ghosts in their hearts, and in order to prevent us from suing the officials, they may do other extreme things...... Although the number of people on the ship was not large, there were more than ten people in total. Although there were a lot of people who went north together at that time. But there are both women and elders, or else I am a useless scholar like me. If there is a real confrontation, the chances of winning will be even smaller. ”

"Chu Langjun, this is comforting me. But no matter what, it happened after all......" Shopkeeper Zhao smiled bitterly.

But it's just like what Fan Niangzi said. Breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters is already the best result. Isn't it? Chu Feng smiled slightly.

"Fan Niangzi is a good person, and so is Chu Langjun." Shopkeeper Zhao sighed, "Yes, I'll go back to Hangzhou in a few days." Chu Langjun has anything to transport, just tell me. ”

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "So urgent? Is Shopkeeper Zhao's body fine? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao nodded: "It's been done a long time ago." It's also a shame to say, I'm my age, and I fainted after experiencing a little wind and waves, and I still need you young people to take care of me. If it weren't for Chu Langjun's help on the road, I don't know what the chaos would become...... In the store in Hangzhou City, everyone knows the news of the loss of goods, although they have sent a letter to appease me before, but if I am not there, there is always some difference. The owner treats me well, although I am not a person with much ability, but I must do my best! ”

Chu Feng nodded and praised: "Shopkeeper Zhao is also a conscientious person. ”

The two of them gossiped a few more words, and then dispersed, and went their separate ways.

……

……

The summer days in the Central Plains always have a feeling of "full steaming and rustic", the humidity in the hot air is very low, but the dazzling sun overhead is like a furnace tube in an oven, constantly exuding a scorching breath, which makes people sweat uncontrollably.

The sound of cicadas is almost piercing, especially in the middle of the day, and the high-frequency sound is like scratching a wall with a fingernail, which makes people upset and miserable.

The people on the road are walking in the pitiful shadows under the eaves, and the farmers who are selling seasonal fruits on their shoulders are shirtless, and the sound of selling is weak.

The gatekeeper lay on the grass as much as possible, snorting and sticking out his tongue with a very high frequency, not daring to put his paws on the bluestone slab, otherwise he would experience the taste of almost being burned.

The most bitter thing is not the summer, but the lack of wind in the summer.

The little second brother who came back from going out to run errands walked into the door and began to pour well water into his stomach in a big gulp. Fortunately, the well water is always warm in winter and cool in summer, but unfortunately in such a heat wave, no matter how frozen the well water is, as long as it takes a few breaths, it will gradually lose its coolness.

If someone looks at the attic on the second floor of the restaurant from the rooftop, they will not see a human figure, but a fan swinging back and forth.

Lang Jun, who was dressed in fancy clothes, stopped the farmer who sold seasonal fruits, bought a bag of lychees for eight coppers, and stuffed two of them into his mouth, but found that the lychees were all hot, and the juice did not bring the slightest coolness after soaking in his mouth, so he cursed in such a hot weather and turned around.

In such a season, the south of the Yangtze River is a continuous rain, and the Central Plains is a scorching heat, which is really not comfortable.

Fortunately, after noon, a dark cloud flew over the city of Tokyo, enveloping it, bringing a very short rainfall.

The first few drops of rain fell on the bluestone slab, almost making a sizzling sound, like water vapor being steamed in a hot pot in an instant.

Fortunately, more drops of rain fell, and the crackling sound of beans was accompanied by the excited screams of children, which gradually filled the entire city of Tokyo.

The faces of the pedestrians on the road were also overflowing with joy in an instant, and a cool breath finally broke through the shroud of the hot summer, although it was a little weaker, but it did exist. For pedestrians who have been steaming in the heat for a long time, this is enough.

They quickened their pace, ran under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, and said something like "it's so cool" and "if only there was such a rain every day" with people they didn't know.

Chu Feng looked out inside the calligraphy and painting shop, feeling the slightest wind blowing in, and couldn't help laughing.

The road, which was already quiet due to the heat, was even more empty at this time. The rain washed the bluestone streets, gradually washing away the dirt on the stone slabs, revealing an almost reflective halo.

At this moment, several figures in the distance hurried over. They did not carry an umbrella, but the leader covered his head with wide sleeves, and the people next to him were also protecting him, and the fan in his hand covered him with another layer above his head.

Looking at the posture of the group of people, Chu Feng hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and sure enough, these seven or eight people rushed straight to the gate of the calligraphy and painting shop.

The footsteps were rustling and chaotic.

"It's raining in a hurry, and you have to bring an umbrella next time you go out! Ha ha! The leader smiled as he tended to the rain on his body.

"The sun was still overhead, and in an instant it was raining. In my opinion, I'm afraid it's because of the fact that you complained about the heat, and God listened, so he simply responded to the rain in response to the situation. The person next to him took the fan, and the fan was already wet by the rain, so he didn't dare to close it directly at this time. He didn't particularly care, he just handed the fan behind him, and naturally someone took it with both hands.

Chu Feng saw a few of them enter the door, so he turned around to get the towel, and at this time it happened to be delivered, and he wanted to say something with a smile, but when he saw the ink on the wet fan surface, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Wait!" Is that Zhao Lingsui's "Orange, Yellow, Orange and Green"? ”

Chu Feng's words made the two people on the other side slightly startled and glanced at each other. The man who immediately led the way couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a knowledgeable young man in the small storefront." It's interesting. ”

"Eleven Lang, how can I say that this is also the Fan family's calligraphy and painting shop, and it can be regarded as a storefront with a head and a face in Tokyo. It's not unusual for this fan to be recognizable here. The person next to him smiled, "It's just that the young man in front of me is indeed younger, and it is indeed not easy to recognize it."
