"Uncle Xiao, do you want to try it alone?"

A voice came from behind, Xiao Zhiyan didn't look back, and asked lazily: "What, do you also have this thief's guts?" ”

Zong Mao changed into a gray-white cloth shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, a standard summer outfit for Jiangnan scribes, and walked over slowly.

"What my lord means, let me socialize more with those Jiangnan scholars on weekdays, is there a better place to go than on the banks of the Qinhuai River?"

"Then let's go together, your Uncle Xiao has a treat this year." Xiao Zhiyan waved his sleeves.

In Zhai Zhe's army, whether it is several military commanders, or people like Ji Hong, Zong Mao and Liu Quan who are in charge of extra-military affairs, they can get along well with Xiao Zhiyan. A person as arrogant as Zong Mao will also call Uncle Xiao in the face of Xiao Zhiyan.

If there is no desire, it is rigid. To everyone, Xiao Zhiyan is a non-threatening person, and everyone will feel at ease to be friends with such a person.

"Uncle Xiao must have saved enough money in the past few years." Zong Mao laughed.

"It's like you, a little oil and water will be taken care of by the one at home." Walking with Zong Mao, Xiao Zhiyan was dressed like a bodyguard, but as long as he looked closely, he could see the real relationship between the two.

The ten-mile Qinhuai that meanders through between the East Water Pass and the West Water Pass is the most lively and prosperous river in Nanjing, and it is also the gold grotto of the south of the Yangtze River. There are prosperous and luxurious ****, the most comfortable and elegant residences, the most magnificent restaurants and the most outstanding theater troupes.

Close to the north bank of the Qinhuai River, is the solemn Ying Tianfu School Palace and the Imperial Examination Singing - Gongyuan, but this does not affect the Qinhuai River's atmosphere of spending all the time and being drunk and drunk. It is the participation of a group of saints who are full of poetry and books and pretend to be **** that makes this drunken cow dream of ten miles of Qinhuai add a lot of special charm and strange colors.

Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao walked extremely slowly.

On the right-hand side is a bend of turquoise and shimmering water, and along the banks of the river are exquisite river houses next to each other. Each river house has a balcony with a railing, jutting out of the water, for people to cool off in the summer and enjoy the landscape lights.

Zong Mao pointed with a folding fan in his hand, "There are famous princes and giants who enjoy Qingfu, there are high-ranking people who don't worry about food and clothing, and there are popular **** who are famous." The silver that Uncle Xiao has saved over the years can't afford to buy it here. ”

"Humph!" Xiao Zhiyan didn't want to deal with him, he knew his catties.

"In fact, most of the river houses here are used for rent. Merchants, eunuchs, and officials can all have property here, and the rent is very expensive, but the princes and grandsons of the past, rich merchants and wealthy merchants, still flock to it. Zong Mao seemed to have specially introduced Xiao Zhiyan.

"You just have to tell me which sister is the prettierest." Xiao Zhi's tone was frivolous.

"The prettiest sister, Uncle Xiao can only watch it, for fear of holding back a burst of anger." Zong Mao's smile was shy.

As he spoke, he saw a group of people in the middle of the street in front of him, gathering thirty or forty steps around, and many people were watching the excitement from a distance, Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao got closer to see clearly.

I saw that in the market a stone's throw away from Wende Bridge, there were two sedan chairs parked, surrounded by a small group of people, and an angry voice shouted: "You have to compensate me, compensate me!" Do you hear that? ”

"Compensation? If you don't let you go, who is to blame? A cold voice retorted.

Then, several people chimed in:

"Who told you to get in the way?" "Yes!" "Don't fall on your heels, it's polite enough!" "Compensation? Don't think about it! ”

"Fart! Why did you have to give way to you? The prime minister walks the prime minister, you go yours, why do you hit the prime minister? Why don't you give way to your own minister? The man before said angrily, listening to the tone of a Confucian student.

Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao took a few steps closer, Zong Mao looked surprised and said, "It's that Huang Zongxi the day before yesterday." "What's going on!" Xiao Zhiyan frowned and hurried a few steps forward.

The servant-looking men beside the sedan were already screaming: "Ah, look at what he said! Do you want us to make way for him? ”

"Joke, I haven't heard of it!"

"Huh, hey! Don't underestimate this minister, maybe it's not simple - I haven't heard of the 'scalper in the pigsty'! ”

The spectators gathered around laughed when they heard this teasing remark. The Confucian scholar ignored the laughter. He bent down in a hurry and rummaged through a small pile of things.

But the gang seemed to be servants of the wealthy family, and they were so arrogant that they no longer paid attention to Confucianism. A tall thin man wearing a corrugated hat and shining silk clothes, like a steward, waved his hand, and the four palanquin men each lifted the two sedan chairs, intending to continue walking.

Huang Zongxi was anxious, only to see him jump up suddenly, suddenly jump to the sedan chair, and shout: "Stop!" ”

"Where the dignified capital is stayed, how can you allow others to run rampant! If you don't pay for the book, you don't want to go, you have the ability to step on the father-in-law! Huang Zongxi shouted again. His eyebrows were now upside down from rage, his thin, endearing face was crooked, two fierce wrinkles appeared at the corners of his mouth that he often smiled, and his eyes, which had always been gentle and calm, radiated a terrifying light, and it seemed that he was really going to fight hard.

The sedan chair, which had already started, was forced to stop again. Those servants look at me, I look at you, it seems that this nerd who doesn't care about life and death is confused, and he doesn't know what to do.

"Hey, what's going on?" The man sitting in the sedan chair in front of him finally became angry. Then the curtain was lifted, revealing the face of a middle-aged nobleman, a big and white face. The facial features are upright, and they can even be said to be delicate, but everything is too small and delicate, and it doesn't match the whole face. There are a few sparse yellow beards hanging from his chin.

I saw that the steward went to the sedan chair and said a few words to the young man, turned around, and replied: "It's just a matter of a few taels of silver, give it to you, and get out of the way." And when he had finished speaking, he put silver in his sleeve.

"Whoever asks for your silver, I want you to pay for the book!" Huang Zongxi cried, "I waited for several years to get this set of ancient Song books, and now it has become like this." As he spoke, he held a lump of sludge-wrapped objects in his hand.

The steward returned to the sedan chair, and the novel muttered a few words.

The boy in the sedan chair scolded, "Bastard, go." ”

Several servants were eager to say this, and hurriedly instructed the sedan chair man to lift the sedan chair.

Huang Zongxi was stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Xiao Zhiyan just wanted to step forward, but when he saw a few people rushing over on the opposite bridge, he scolded: "Who should I be, Xu Qingjun, who actually bullied my head to restore the society." ”

Zong Mao grabbed Xiao Zhiyan, lowered his voice and said: "This, we can't afford to mess with, Xu Qingjun is a descendant of Xu Da, the founding lord of the Ming Dynasty, and his brother is a hereditary Duke of Wei, who also serves as the garrison of Nanjing City. ”

"Such a Confucian is so bold!" Xiao Zhiyan smacked his tongue and retracted the half-step that had been stretched out.

This shout really works. The sedan chair stopped again, and the steward sneered and said, "It turned out to be the husband of the resumption of the society, and the villain was disrespectful." ”

"Xu Qingjun, come out!" The scribes were arrogant.

"If the ministers have orders, they will say the same to the villain."

"How many catties and taels do you have for this little old man, can replace Second Master Xu, Gu Gao, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Zilie, Mei Langzhong, and Hou Fangyu are here, I respectfully invite Second Master Xu to come out, I have something to say!" A handsome boy brother giggles and helps.

The steward returned to the sedan chair in a panic to talk, and there was more and more excitement around.

Zong Mao sneered and said, "Dog bites dog, these are all famous sons of the Fushe, and they have a good show today." ”

Xu Qingjun didn't speak, but the steward came back and saluted again: "My son-in-law said that he accidentally destroyed Mr. Huang's ancient books today, and he is willing to double the compensation, please ask Mr. Huang to speak." ”

Huang Zongxi's flushed face slowly turned back, his head turned, and when he saw Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao who were watching, he turned red again, and arched his hand: "This ancient book is not available, so I am anxious, and I am sorry to offend the car driver, I am sorry, I spent ten taels of silver when I bought this book......." ”

Hou Fangyu interrupted him and said: "This set of "Hidden Void Derivation", as far as we know, is very likely to be the set that was copied from the Yandonglou Mansion in the 41st year of Jiajing, but I am afraid that it is already the only book in the sea, and it is worth 100 gold. ”

The steward argued: "Mr. Huang just said that he only bought ten taels of silver. ”

"When you buy it, you buy it, and now it's now. If Xu Ergongzi thinks that it is not worth the price of 100 gold, it is okay, please find another set of the same to compensate Mr. Huang. Hou Fangyu coaxed.

The steward returned to the sedan chair with an embarrassed expression.

Huang Zongxi suddenly became angry and said, "No, no! The book is mine, you can't do that! ”

This was really an unexpected scene, Xiao Zhiyan couldn't hold back his smile, and laughed out loud.

Several scribes were stunned, Hou Fangyu shook the folding fan, his face turned relaxed, and said, "Brother Taichong......"

"Forget it!" Huang Zongxi rudely interrupted him, "You, you are trying to trap me in injustice!" ”

Hou Fangyu's fair face turned red. His eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes were rounded. His mouth squirmed, but he didn't say it. Finally, he sneered and turned his face away.

Zong Mao leaned into Xiao Zhiyan's ear, lowered his voice and said: "This is the son of the former Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui, his father was imprisoned in the ninth year of Chongzhen, and he was still imprisoned in the prison of Beijing City. ”

"!" Xiao Zhiyan held back a foul word.

"But his father was kind to Zuo Liangyu back then, and when he heard that Zuo Liangyu was domineering, the court was ready to let his father out of prison to be a prisoner."

As Zong Mao spoke, the steward turned around and said, "My son-in-law agreed, with a hundred taels of silver and an additional fifty taels for Mr. Huang." As he spoke, he took out the silver ticket.

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers around. Several people from the Restoration Society, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stunned, they didn't expect the other party to agree so happily.

"Slap in the face!" Xiao Zhiyan covered his stomach, and watched this scene today. This silver is going to be taken, so don't ask for the faces of the Fushe.

Zong Mao squeezed in from the crowd and said a few words in Huang Zongxi's ear.

Huang Zongxi nodded again and again, and said loudly with a red face: "These silver, Xu Gongzi is a fast man, now there are many refugees in Nanjing, I only take my own ten taels of silver, and the rest will be entrusted to the soup soup factory tomorrow for disaster relief, please be a witness." ”

There was another round of cheering. Several people in the Fushe Society breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes fell on Zong Mao, and Huang Zongxi glared at Hou Fangyu fiercely.

"This stinky boy!" Xiao Zhiyan scolded secretly.

The turmoil was quickly resolved, and the surrounding crowd dispersed, Huang Zongxi took Zong Mao's hand and said, "Thank you Zong Gongzi for breaking the siege." "I saw Xiao Zhiyan again, please come over and introduce it to all the ministers of the Restoration Society.

Hou Fangyu looked like he didn't like to pick up, and several other people heard that Xiao Zhiyan was the deputy general of Ning Shaozhen, and they were all surprised, and they came to pay their respects.
