From Chun'an County to Jingshi, although the distance is far, the route is very smooth. Follow the Xin'an River and Qiantang River to Hangzhou Mansion, then turn into the canal, and then go all the way north, and when there is no way out, the Jingshi will also arrive.

It is very troublesome to transfer boats, if the boat is not a private boat, it is impossible to start from Chun'an County all the way to Beijing, and at most it will go to Hangzhou.

Therefore, it can only be changed again and again in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Linqing and other hub places, and a lot of time is delayed here.

Along the way from south to north, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yang, Huai, Linqing are the world's most prosperous places, but unfortunately Fang Yingwu and his entourage did not have the heart to visit with Jihua, just want to continue to rush after the night at the wharf.

There are two reasons, one is that Fang Yingwu is worried about his father's condition, so he is in a hurry and does not want to delay extra time on the road.

The second is that he is shy in his pocket, and the coil he brought is about to be enough for the journey, but he doesn't know what the situation is when he arrives in Beijing. Therefore, it must be used sparingly, and it is impossible to waste it on excursions along the way.

If the reputation is enough, you can also rely on fame to travel around, and the locals also sell face to entertain. Fang Yingwu is obviously not qualified, he is also a little famous in Chun'an, but looking at the whole country, he is just an ordinary member of the 100,000 talents.

There are four people in a group, in addition to Fang Yingwu and Sister Lan, there are two others. One named Fang Yingshi is a clan brother, with a big slap on the tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he is responsible for deterring Xiao Xiao and picking up the cage; The other is Sister Lan's brother Wang Ying, who has a convenient tongue and is responsible for dealing with the foot of the car and boat shop.

It's easy to get bored on the road with two people, but it's slightly better for four people, and it's a little more lively.

But he said that he had been gone by boat for more than ten days. Fang Yingwu and his entourage arrived at a remarkable place, that is, Suzhou Mansion, the most prosperous city in the world.

The wharf of the canal in the west of Suzhou City is the famous Fengqiao Wharf. That's right, it's the maple bridge of "Yebo Fengqiao".

Chartered ships from Hangzhou are willing to be delivered here. So Fang Yingwu and the others got off the boat and found a home on the edge of Fengqiao to live in a hostel that looked fairly clean. After that, it is time to find a passenger ship, negotiate the price and go to Yangzhou.

Next to Fengqiao is the famous Hanshan Temple, although Fang Yingwu does not plan to play in the mountains and rivers on the road, but this time it is too close to Hanshan Temple, out of the hostel door, you can walk a few steps to arrive.

With a sight to behold, it doesn't take much time to get around.

At the same time, Sister Lan was also looking forward to seeing what the "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City" in Tang poems looked like, so Fang Yingwu agreed to go to the temple tomorrow morning to go sightseeing together - there should be no admission fee for visiting the ancient temple in the Ming Dynasty.

Nothing was said all night. The next day. Fang Yingwu, Sister Lan and two entourages went to Hanshan Temple together.

The temple is full of tourists, and it is obvious that the incense is extremely prosperous. Although Fang Yingwu is a materialist believer, he will not spoil the scenery at this time, he bought a few pillars of incense outside the temple and handed them to Sister Lan, and accompanied her to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to burn incense.

In front of the main entrance of the treasure hall, there is an iron tripod for the table, densely packed with people, and the smoke of incense is swirling, and it has floated to the cornice.

Fang Yingwu and Sister Lan were under the escort of the two entourages. Barely squeezed into the front of the crowd and waited. Fang Yingwu and the concubine said a few words, seeing that the pilgrims in front of them were already about to call it a day and leave, they were ready to step forward to fill the position.

At this moment, suddenly the crowd behind him stirred. The sound was in an uproar, and the shouts and screams were mixed with each other, as if they had arrived at a vegetable market.

Fang Yingwu looked back. But I saw the appearance of more than a dozen military schools, led by a small leader. Armed with a long stick, he forcibly rushed over.

They weren't trying to smash and loot, they were just split into two columns. kept waving the long stick, driving the crowd to the side, and Fang Yingwu and his party were also squeezed to the edge of the front steps of the hall as the crowd swayed.

Soon the sergeants cleared an empty space in front of the treasure hall and stood quietly after surrounding it.

Fang Yingwu looked at this jiashi, and his heart was very clear, there must be a powerful family coming to offer incense! Dare to be so arrogant in the famous places of Suzhou Mansion, with a lot of origins.

Suddenly, I heard a local person talking around me: "This should be the standard battalion sergeant in the governor's yamen." ”

It turned out to be the governor's people, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant!

After the continuous strengthening of the Xuande Dynasty, the governor gradually evolved from temporary dispatch to normalization, and his rank was not very high, but he had become the de facto highest local feudal official. The actual power of the governor is above the three divisions of administration, inspection, and command -- of course, Suzhou Prefecture belongs to the Southern Zhili, and there is no three divisions and yamen.

However, when Fang Yingwu listened to his father's gossip, he seemed to have heard that his father's benefactor, Wang Shu, who was known for his uprightness and selflessness, was the current governor of Su Song

Not long after, I saw a sedan chair falling, and slowly got down from the sedan chair a medium-sized, graceful young woman.

She wore a sunhat and lowered her veil to block the sight of others, so she couldn't see what her appearance was, and her age was naturally impossible to guess, so she could only see that it was not very big.

Fang Yingwu heard two local acquaintances next to him discuss: "This girl is a young daughter of Futai." ”

Fang Yingwu was shocked again, it turned out that this woman was the heroine in her father's scandal! Look carefully at this Futai daughter lighting incense, kneeling, praying, the movements are elegant and beautiful, quite pleasing to the eye.

When the daughter of the Wang family got up, the surrounding sergeants began to act vigorously again, wanting to send the daughter to the sedan chair and leave. But he accidentally bumped Fang Yingwu and Sister Lan'er, and almost fell under the steps.

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but be furious: "I heard that Wang Zhongcheng is a famous minister in the world, but it turns out that it is nothing more than that!" See you today, not worthy of the name! ”

The voice was a bit loud, and the daughter of the Wang family was about to leave, when she heard Fang Yingwu's words, she turned around and walked in front of Fang Yingwu, and after looking at it, she asked, "Fang is the one you are talking about?" Where is the name not true? ”

Fang Yingwu sneered a few times, "This is the pure land of Buddhism, if the body of a thousand daughters is here, it is enough to persuade you to vacate the open space, but I have never heard of the famous ministers who beat and drove away pilgrims with sticks!" ”

Through the veil, I couldn't see Miss Wang's expression, but I saw her turn her head and call the leader of the sergeant who opened the way, and asked, "Leader Yan, what this son said is true?" ”

The little leader could not answer, and the pilgrims around him, who had not yet dispersed, saw someone coming forward. coaxed together: "Naturally, it's true, otherwise we prefer to stand on the side and worship the Buddha!" ”

But the veil shook a few times. Miss Wang instructed the sergeant: "Leader Yan disturbs the people indiscriminately, and he will be beaten with forty sticks." Apologize in public! ”

Fang Yingwu shook his head and secretly sighed that this Miss Wang was too fond of it. There is no need to punish one's own people in public like this, and he is not afraid of the cold heart of his subordinates.

In fact, as long as you reprimand in public and promise to punish you strictly after you go back, that's fine, and you don't need to be serious like this.

But this is all her family law, of course Fang Yingwu will not go back to meddle in things. However, the people showed a non-tolerant attitude, and they should respond out of politeness, so they bowed their hands and saluted: "Wang Zhongcheng's family is really virtuous. The rumors were true, but the previous words were inappropriate, so I took my leave. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't want to have a relationship with Wang Jiapan, and he was still in a hurry to go to Beijing. Besides, this Wang Shu will not be able to enter the court in the next ten years, and he will not be of much help in the court, so he is not in a hurry to make friends.

What's more, I can't figure out what the relationship between my father and Miss Wang is, if it's a gossip that disgusts her, isn't it boring to make friends by herself, but it will be disgusting?

All in all. Seeing my father as soon as possible is the top priority. Let his father be alone in the Jingshi, where demons and monsters are rampant, Fang Yingwu is not at ease in his heart.

Habitually put down his hand, fluttered his sleeves in a chic manner, and turned around to leave. But I heard Miss Wang shout. "Wait!"

Fang Yingwu turned back suspiciously, "What else is going on?" ”

Miss Wang was also puzzled and asked, "I see that this son is so good-looking, I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

Is it recognized? Fang Yingwu smiled. Her words were really old-fashioned in her previous life, and she couldn't be more old-fashioned in conversation. It's a pity that this girl is the object of her father's scandal, and she borrowed ten guts. Don't dare to flirt.

I had to say seriously: "When I came to Suzhou Mansion for the first time, Miss Wang must have been in a trance for a while. Please go back and rest more, and say goodbye in the next. ”

Miss Wang and the others turned half of their bodies, and suddenly said again: "Brother, old official, wait for the next addition!" ”

Fang Yingwu subconsciously replied: "I still have to do life!" ”

When the answer came out, Fang Yingwu was immediately dumbfounded, why did the Huaxi accent pop up?

There are too many mountains and rivers in Chun'an County, and the blocks are fragmented, so there are so-called ten miles of different sounds and hundreds of miles of different customs.

Miss Wang's question was in the standard Huaxi dialect, and when he heard the local accent at first glance, he couldn't help it for a while, and subconsciously answered in Huaxi dialect.

Not only was Fang Yingwu stunned, but Sister Lan, Fang Yingshi, and Wang Ying were all surprised.

Miss Wang's veil trembled, and she raised her hand to point at Fang Yingwu and said, "You must be surnamed Fang!" Isn't it a prescription? Say! ”

Fang Yingwu was embarrassed and speechless, and always had the feeling of pretending to be confused and being exposed in person.

He was sure that his father had some inexplicable relationship with this young lady. Otherwise, how could she come up with a Huaxi dialect? Otherwise, how could she easily see through herself.

But it's even more embarrassing!

Helpless, Fang Yingwu had to salute again, "It's really Fang Yingwu below, but I don't know"

Miss Wang asked rhetorically, "You don't know who I am?" Your father didn't mention me to you? ”

Fang Yingwu decided to pretend to be confused, this relationship is too inexplicable, if you don't pretend to be confused, you can't see the courtesy, is it possible to worship this eldest lady who doesn't seem to be more than twenty years old? "My father never mentioned it, and I really don't know about it."

Miss Wang pondered for a moment and invited: "Whether you really know it or not, don't go first, just follow me!" Let my father see you too! ”

Fang Yingwu really didn't want to see the famous Wang Shu Wang Zhongcheng. Wang Shu, the old man, is too upright and selfless, and he can't rub sand in his eyes.

He is not without shortcomings, and it is estimated that his personality and Wang Zhongcheng will not be too similar, and it is indeed better not to see each other.

He frowned and excused himself: "I have to hurry up in the next place, and my status is low, so I don't dare to disturb Lao Zhongcheng, please forgive me." ”

Miss Wang knew it all and said, "You must be going to Jingshi?" Your father is already in the second grade, so what's the hurry? It's not bad for a moment!

Where are you left and right, please start Fang Gongzi and run away from the self-leading army! (To be continued.) )

PS: The second update! The third one looks like it's going to be 12 o'clock again, and I can only be speechless.
