The autumn water is slightly cold, and the breeze sends cold.

The boat was chartered by Ye Heng at the Hangzhou wharf, and the boatman is said to be a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang by the river, specializing in supporting his family by the waterway business, but this person is also honest, Ye Heng gave him three taels of silver, and he also felt that Ye Heng was giving too much, and he was looking for Ye Heng to return a tael of silver back, and finally Pang Tietou said: "Old man, you just accept it, my young master and the old lady are the same, and they are kind and charitable, this more silver tael, you should be rewarded by the nobles!" ”

When Ye Heng heard this, he glared at him and said, "Iron head, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Then he turned his head, looked at the boatman and said, "That one or two pieces of silver, even if it is the travel fee paid for Mr. Qiqing, don't insist on it anymore, old man, hehe...... We've got to go! ”

"Good, good!"

The boatman happily accepted the money, and then hastened to beckon his son to prepare for the sailing.

Liu Yong was still drunk and unconscious, Hongshang was afraid that he would vomit in the cabin, so he didn't let Liu Yong in, Ye Heng shook his head, and had to accompany Liu Yong to sit on the deck outside the cabin.

The boatman came over with a bowl of wine, handed it to Ye Heng and said, "Young Master, come and finish drinking!" ”

"Hmm!" Ye Heng nodded, took the wine and took a sip, and then returned it to the boatman and said, "Just drink a little to warm up, I don't know how to drink!" ”

"Hehe......"

The boatman smiled and asked Ye Heng, "The young master wants to go back to Changzhou, but is he going to take the exam?" ”

Ye Heng nodded, then glanced at the boatman and asked, "Old man, do you have something to say?" ”

"Oh, no ......"

The boatman's expression changed slightly, and then he said embarrassedly: "The old man is also too careful, in fact, the young master looks like a good person, and he is dressed as a scholar, if he didn't go to catch the exam, he wouldn't have chartered a boat!" Hehe, young master, don't be careful, it's just that out of this Chongde area, it is said that there are water bandits......"

"Water bandits?"

Ye Heng frowned and asked, "Old man, are you joking?" This is Hangzhou...... Well, although it is said that the front is out of the scope of Hangzhou government, but if you go further, it will be Suzhou, right? There will also be water bandits in the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou? ”

"Young master, you don't know this!" The boatman shook his head, now it was his son who was supporting the boat, and as soon as he changed to rest, he sat down next to Ye Heng, and then chatted.

"This area, it is precisely because it belongs to the junction of the two provinces, but no one can control it, so it is chaotic...... And it's not an ordinary mess! ”

Then the boatman leisurely talked to Ye Heng about the things in this area, it turned out that between Hangzhou and Suzhou, there are still a few counties because they are remote, and they are not under the jurisdiction of these two marshals, and the coastal area has always been not very peaceful, so there are many water bandits.

This boatman was worried about Ye Heng before, because Ye Heng was also generous, ordinary people couldn't spend one or two taels of silver a month, but Ye Heng was three taels of silver as soon as he made a move, no wonder the boatman was suspicious!

If Ye Heng was really a rich and noble person, then this journey would be a little troublesome, and now that he knew that Ye Heng was just a student who went to take the exam, he was also relieved.

chatted with Ye Heng for a few words, and finally the boatman instructed Ye Heng: "Young master, don't blame the old man for being verbose, in case we encounter water bandits, young master must remember not to reveal this sentence, lest the thieves will have bad intentions!" ”

Ye Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry." ”

"That's good!"

The boatman smiled, then put the bowl of wine on the deck, and said, "Young master, if you are thirsty, drink it, the old man has gone to the boat!" ”

"Hmm!"

Ye Heng nodded to the boatman, and at this time, Liu Yong's nose on the deck sucked gently, Ye Heng smiled when he saw it, and said, "Mr. Qiqing, when will you sleep?" ”

In fact, Liu Yong woke up a long time ago, but he was just embarrassed to wake up.

Originally, he just wanted to take a downwind boat to the north, but he didn't expect that the person who came to take the boat this time was actually a student, and he still knew his name, so he was a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the boatman who put the wine not far from him, and then let the aroma of the wine arouse the wine worm in his stomach, I'm afraid that this Liu Yong would still be able to pretend to be asleep!

After Ye Heng spoke, Liu Yong pretended to wake up, then looked at Ye Heng in surprise and asked, "...... Who are you? ”

"Hehe......" Of course, Ye Heng saw Liu Yong's trick, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Qiqing, boy Ye Heng, a native of Changzhou, now lives in Lin'an, this time I went north to Jiangning to take the exam!" ”

"Wait!"

Liu Yong was confused by Ye Heng's words, maybe he had just pretended to be asleep for too long, and his mind hadn't turned around for a while, so he asked: "You mean, your hometown is Changzhou, but you live in Lin'an, and then the place where you went to take the exam this time was Jiangning?" ”

"Not bad!"

Ye Heng looked at Liu Yong innocently and said, "It's complicated, isn't it?" Actually, I don't want to......"

"Forget it!" Liu Yong waved his hand, then picked up the bowl of wine, stared at the steaming eyes and looked inside the cabin while drinking, and didn't forget to look at Ye Heng and asked, "Then why am I on this boat?" ”

"Mr. Qiqing should know it in his own heart, right?" Ye Heng laughed, then stood up and said, "It's windy outside, and I'm afraid it's going to rain, do you want to come and sit in the cabin?" ”

After that, Ye Heng walked to the cabin by himself, Liu Yong looked at Ye Heng's back in astonishment, and finally understood the meaning of Ye Heng's words after a while, and then his face turned red, and he said secretly: I was actually seen through by this little guy, right...... What did he say he was called? Ye Heng?

Liu Yong suddenly stood up with a swish, his figure was a little thin, wearing a sandwich robe inside and out, he was dressed in gray, his hair was a little messy, and he looked very sloppy.

If it weren't for someone on the dock telling Ye Heng about his identity, Ye Heng wouldn't have known that Liu Yong actually looked like this. But Liu Yong is Liu Yong, after all, he is a generation of romantic talents, although he looks a little sloppy now, and he is still full of alcohol, but when he thinks of the name Ye Heng, Liu Yong's eyes suddenly glow, and the temperament of the whole person has changed instantly!

Now that he is standing with his hands in his hands, where is there any sloppy appearance?

Instead, it was the unique self-confidence of a word writer, and the pair of eyes that looked at Ye Heng's back gradually became fanatical!

"It's really nowhere to find it, little guy, your name is also Ye Heng, you also live in Lin'an, I don't believe that there will be such a coincidence in the world! Hmph, this time I came all the way from Xiangzhou, I just wanted to reminisce about the wonders of the Qiantang tide, but I didn't want to come to Hangzhou, but I heard such wonderful words, and I lost the package! ”

It turned out that Liu Yong would be so sloppy because on August 17, he happened to hear Ye Heng's "Water Tune Song Head" and then he was distracted for a while, but when he came back to his senses, he found that his package had been robbed!

Poor Liu Yong has been ruined all his life, although his talent makes him like a fish in water in the Qinglou, but his old acquaintances in Hangzhou are no longer in the Qinglou. In addition, during this period of time, almost all the Qinglou painting boats in Hangzhou talked about Ye Heng's poems, so Liu Yong ended up like this.

There was no way, Liu Yong had to pretend to be drunk, and wanted to take a downwind boat to the north, preparing to go to the edge of the Qinhuai River, and mix for a while!

PS: Actually, Liu Yong is likely to be a very undisciplined guy, Liu Yong in this book, I dare not say that it is the most real Liu Yong in history, but at least it will be a very real person, a very interesting person!
