The owner of the horse came over and pulled up the reins, and the white horse was reluctantly pulled away, and when the man walked away from the fifth child, he came over with a face full of thanks, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the rescue of the son, please accept the little old man's worship." ”

Qingyu hurriedly held his hands to prevent Yu Lao Wu from kneeling down, and said: "You and I met in Pingshui, but you treated me and Brother Zhou like your own family along the way, what happened just now is just a gesture, you don't have to make such a big gift, we are still talking and laughing like just now." ”

"The old man has nothing to thank, but I hope that when the two of you return, I will take my ship again, and when the time comes, I will be hospitable to repay the kindness of today." Yu Lao Wu was very apologetic.

Zhou Jin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was impatient, and said, "Don't thank you, both of you are rare good people." You see that all the people on this boat are gone, and the two of us are left with no banquet in the world, so let's leave it at that. ”

Qingyu clenched his fists and said, "Brother Yu, don't say goodbye here." With that, he and Zhou Jin took the salute and went ashore.

Yu Lao Wu watched the figures of the two leave, his heart was full of gratitude, and he couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes, afraid of being seen, and quickly wiped them off with the corners of his clothes.

The wharf was still some distance from Jinhua Mansion, and Zhou Jin and Qingyu rented a carriage. The official road was wide and smooth, and the carriage slowly ran on the official road, and Zhou Jin asked half-jokingly in the carriage: "Qingyu, I see that you have a good relationship with that horse, why don't you buy it and redeem it?" ”

Qingyu was still thinking about the white horse in his heart, and he did not doubt that Zhou Jin's words were deceitful and true: "That horse is very good, and I really want to 'redeem it', but it is a pity that the horse is difficult to buy, and if you miss it, I am afraid that there will be no chance to find such a treasure horse, and the coat is pure white, and it is also spiritual, and this divine horse is enough for this life, and it is really impossible to buy it with more silver, so why bother to be bored." ”

Zhou Jin quipped: "Are you praising the horse or the lady?" ”

"Get out." Qingyu shouted angrily.

"I'm joking with you." Zhou Jin said: "Why is this? The man said that he bought 3,000 taels of silver, but it was a big deal that you bought it for 6,000 taels, which was a very high profit, and he himself would not be able to have such a good buyer even if he sold it in the market. Although Zhou Jin is not as stupid as Qingyu, he also feels very sorry.

Qingyu shook his head and said depressedly: "Look at that middle-aged man's graceful and luxurious appearance, at first glance, he is the head of a large family. It's just that the skin stinks a little, and he has worked so hard to sell the horses from Cochin definitely not for silver. ”

"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying. And that white horse, how did you tame it? Zhou Jin asked curiously.

Qingyu pretended to be mysterious and said: "The Buddha said that it cannot be said. ”

Zhou Jin smiled evilly and said, "Come on, you said you were fat and you were still panting." As far as you Qingyu are concerned, I don't know that I'm a stupid boy playing the huqin like me-nonsense, and I know what kind of tricks you used to 'damage' other people's horses. ”

"I didn't hurt you when I opened my mouth, and my brain was full of dirty things, although neither of us read any books, but I was able to warm a lot of books when I was young, and I also dabbled in those 'messy' books, one of which recorded that everything has a spirit, and the nature of animals is connected with people. People are most tired and noisy, and they need to find a quiet place to rest, and the same is true for livestock. Horses are more sensitive than people, so they are more likely to have 'nameless karmic fire' when stimulated, and the bumps and bumps in the Shenming Beach are the triggers, and the noisy middle-aged man is to add firewood to the fire, and the best way to face this situation is to let everyone go out and give the horse a quiet environment to let it 'calm down'. Tell me who is the 'stupid big one'. Qingyu was unforgiving, and asked Zhou Jin.

"You see Jinhua Mansion has arrived," Zhou Jin deliberately diverted the topic. Qingyu smiled and opened the curtain and stretched his head out to look, only to see that the tall city wall was engraved with two simple and heavy characters "Jinhua", and there was a house on the city wall that should be used as a general to rest and command in wartime, and it was used for various ceremonies in peacetime, Qingyu thought to himself.

Zhou Jin looked at Qingyu's "stupid appearance" and smiled secretly in his heart, he was different from Qingyu. I have lived here since I was a child, and I still remember the appearance of this place vividly. When he first came to Jinhua, he asked his father why he built a house on the city wall instead of on the ground. His father told him that the house was used to rest and command the generals who defended the city during the war, and now it is used for various ceremonies, such as greeting the Qin and receiving holy decrees. This confirmed Qingyu's conjecture.

The gate of the city was guarded by officers and soldiers, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, and the carriage passed through the heavy city wall and came to the city of Jinhuafu.

"Hey, Zhou Jin, you see that there are so many pavilions and buildings, you can't count them. There are also people who do business than Songlin County don't know much geometry, you see that the color of the pork leg sold by the person is golden and shiny, you can smell a fragrance from afar, there is a cooked one to sell next to it, why don't you go down and buy some? Qingyu said with great interest.

Zhou Jin said lazily: "Oh, that is the famous Jinhua ham, according to legend, the Southern Song Dynasty anti-gold famous general Zong Ze took the hometown pork to the palace after pickling, and presented it to the emperor, the emperor saw the cut leg meat crimson like fire, that is, it was named 'Jinhua ham', and then spread among the people. Let's go to my cousin's house to rest, or I'll be the white horse, and I'll tell my cousin to take care of it at night. ”

Qingyu thought that since he was in no hurry to play, he said, "That's okay, don't say it's really going to be a good night's sleep." He yawned.

"Coachman, can you hurry up with this carriage? We need to find a place to rest. Zhou Jin said.

"Of course, you see." The groom said and threw a whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran quickly on the street in pain, and the groom was originally seated, but then he stood up and opened his throat and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the animals don't have eyes, the horse is startled, everyone get out of the way, just hit it and don't cure it, don't blame me for not reminding those who lack arms and legs." Zhou Jin and Qingyu suddenly lost their sleepiness when they heard the horseman's rough voice shouting, and they were ready to abandon the car and flee, thinking that they had seen a lot of arrogant and domineering people, but they had never seen such a blatant and unscrupulous arrogant, if this caused public anger, they would not beat the two together.

Zhou Jin regretted urging the groom just now, and said: "Coachman, the two of us are not in a hurry, you can slow down and joke with you just now, don't take it seriously." ”

The coachman turned his head to Zhou Jin and said, "Childe, don't worry, my Lu Si chases the handlebar, which is a must in Jinhua, no one knows, no one knows." I can be faster, you see. As he spoke, he threw two more whips on the horse's buttocks, but the horse was much faster than before.

Zhou Jin and Qingyu knew that the two met the "grass coward", the two of them had the first time that "Xiucai met the soldiers, the thieves met the king of the mountain" unreasonable grievances and powerlessness, Lu Si turned out to be the scoundrel of Jinhua City, often oppressed the villagers, because it was a trivial matter, the government often caught and let go, and then there was no way The government took fifty taels of silver to Lu Si to let him do some serious business, Lu Si didn't want to be looked at coldly, but he was suffering from no silver taels, and now the government sent silver to the door and begged for it, and the two parties were willing to fight and one was willing to hit it off. Lu Si took the silver sent by the government and started the transaction of carrying passengers, but the long-term "ruffian" nature could not be changed for a while, and he was an honest man when he slowly set up the car, as long as someone urged him to hurry up, he would be full of gangsterism, only to see that the middle of the street suddenly "roosters and dogs jumping" complained, and Zhou Jin and Qingyu, who were sitting in the carriage, tightly grasped the light compartment for fear of rolling over, and their faces were frightened and pale.

Lu Si took Qingyu and Zhou Jin in Jinhua Mansion and stopped in front of a mansion, Lu Si opened his mouth and said: "Guest officer, do you think it is this Sun Mansion?" ”

Zhou Jin heard the shout, lifted the curtain, stretched out his head to look at it, and said, "Well, this is it." As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Si, who saw that the guest officer gave him silver, and quickly nodded and thanked him.

The two of them got out of the carriage with weak legs and feet, Lu Si thanked the cart again and left, Zhou Jin couldn't help but vomit at the door anymore, Qingyu quickly let go of Zhou Jin's hand far away, covered his mouth and said: "You are also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, why did you come here and vomit at every turn like a little lady, I was about to vomit when I saw it." "The discomfort in my throat hit me immediately.

Zhou Jin ignored Qingyu's burial, and helped the stone lion at the door to vomit.

Qingyu stood next to him and listened to Zhou Jinxi's vomiting sound, and his stomach was also overturned, after all, he couldn't help but help the stone lion and vomited, and the two of them stood aside and helped the stone lion to do "dirty" things in front of the 'Sun Mansion'.

For a while, the two of them vomited and collapsed and lay on the steps weakly, Qingyu struggled to sit up from the stone steps and wanted to help Zhou Jin, but he saw that he also sat up slowly, the two looked at each other and did not speak, but they laughed for a long time.

After laughing, Zhou Jin first asked, "Are you okay?" You've suffered along the way! ”

Qingyu said with a smile: "Dignified seven-foot man, the journey in the past few days is nothing, but you spit all the way, I'm really worried that you can't afford me, how can I be worthy of your parents!" ”

"I'll be serious with you, and you'll always make fun of me." Zhou Jin said.

"Okay, brother, I'm so polite, little brother, you better knock on the door quickly, if I continue like this, I'll have to 'cross the streets'." Qingyu arched his hand and said.

"Well, I'll go." Zhou Jin staggered up from the ground as he spoke, and staggered to the door and slapped it vigorously.

After a while, I heard the sound of running inside, and the door showed a crack, and the housekeeper stuck his head out of it and asked, "Who are you looking for?" "Look out vigilantly.

Zhou Jin opened his mouth and said, "You open the door and let me in, and I'll look for Sun Youwei." ”

The family asked again: "Who is your surname, and what is the matter with our young master?" ”

It's really "anxious to meet slow Langzhong" You are not in a hurry, Zhou Jin said impatiently: "You have so many problems, Sun Youwei is my cousin, and I have to explain to you when I come to leave?" ”
