Chapter 141: The first beauty in Jiangnan is coming
Sitting in the carriage, Yao Ruoyu opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside with great interest, but his modern home is located in the city, not in the oil tanker port, so he didn't feel the familiar scenery along the way.
The oil truck port belongs to a port under the jurisdiction of Jiaxing, not far from Jiaxing City, and there is a special road specially laid by the government, everyone walked about half a pillar of incense, and has seen the city wall of Jiaxing from afar.
Holding his chin, Yao Ruoyu looked at the city wall in the distance with interest, in his time, the only remaining city wall in Jiaxing was only one [sub-city], but now, the towering city wall not only let him see Jiaxing belonging to this era, but also felt the prosperity and prosperity of Jiaxing City in this era.
After all, the weight of the Wenzhou Commercial Bank was still extremely heavy, and the soldiers at the gate did not dare to stop and blackmail, and after hearing the news, they put everyone into the city.
As soon as they entered the city, everyone felt an indescribable quiet breath rushing to their faces.
Fuling and Hezhou because of the relationship near the border, the atmosphere in the city is extremely solemn, although Chongqing Mansion is not so serious, but there is no lack of solemnity in the prosperity, the whole city always has a hidden killing atmosphere.
But here, perhaps located in the south of the Yangtze River, the relationship between the perennial war is not contacted, the atmosphere in Jiaxing City is extremely relaxed and calm, the faces of the people are full of satisfaction and smiles of abundant food and clothing, the surrounding shops are rich in variety, and the merchants, jugglers, and coachmen on the street can be seen everywhere.
And Chongqing is known as a mountain city, the terrain in the city is undulating, the buildings are even higher and low, some are on the mountainside, some are at the foot of the mountain, some are on the top of the mountain, walking a road is the same as climbing the mountain, often tired is not light, but here, because it is almost the relationship of the plain, it is quite easy to walk, and the whole person will inexplicably relax and not be impatient in the past.
Song Kai instructed a guard to inquire about the inn in the city, and after a while, the guard came back and reported that there were three famous inns in the city, two of which were located in the west of the city, and only one Qinglong inn was located in the city, which was the closest.
Yao Ruoyu thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to the Qinglong Inn, it's closer." ”
Song Kai and Jiang Siyu naturally didn't care, as long as the inn was advanced, as for those entourages, they didn't have the right to express their opinions, so everyone finally found the Qinglong Inn according to the direction pointed out by passers-by.
When he came to the door of the inn, Yao Ruoyu opened the door curtain and jumped down first, he was not in a hurry to look inside the inn, but pulled Song Kai, who had just come down, and said with a smile: "Kai Kai, look here, is it a little familiar?"
"Familiar?" Song Kai was stunned when he heard this, subconsciously looked around, then frowned, and muttered, "It is indeed a little familiar......
"Jiefang Road!" smiled and patted Song Kai on the shoulder, Yao Ruoyu said, "Also, Guangming Street Primary School, do you have an impression?
Song Kai reacted when he heard this, and after glancing around again, he bowed his head and said, "Yes, it's here." ”
Yao Ruoyu didn't expect that the location of this Qinglong Inn was the vicinity of his and Song Kai's junior high school campuses in the past, on a street called Jiefang Road, of course, there was no Jiefang Road in this era, this road was named Qinglong Street, which was named after the Qinglong Inn.
Although he didn't recognize the banner of Wenzhou Commercial Bank, just looking at the demeanor of this group of people, the shopkeeper knew that there were distinguished guests, and hurriedly went out to welcome everyone into the inn.
Yao Ruoyu, Song Kai, Jiang Siyu, and Bingdiandian naturally asked for a room, as for the twenty entourages, although Yao Ruoyu didn't like to have an entourage to follow, but since he was his own subordinates, he naturally couldn't treat them badly, so he asked for a few ordinary guest rooms, one bed per person, so as not to be crowded, but he didn't know that this group of guards and servants were all grateful, and felt that the Lord was generous.
Because they had been on the boat for several days, Yao Ruoyu and the others were also hungry, and they didn't rush out to hang out after booking a room, first let the shopkeeper prepare lunch, the four of them sat at the table and chatted, and the other entourages sat on the tables around them.
The four of them chatted for a while, and a junior had already brought a plate of sweet and sour pears up. Since the crossing, Yao Ruoyu has eaten either steamed buns or Chongqing side dishes, which are extremely spicy, and now he finally saw the unique sweet and sour delicacy in Jiangnan, and suddenly felt that his saliva was going to flow down.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu's gobbling up, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "The guest officer is from afar, right?
Yao Ruoyu sighed lightly: "No, I'm from Jiaxing, but I've been to the northwest for too long, and it's rare to come back." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Oh? It turns out that I am going home, I thought that the guest officer came to participate in the poetry competition." ”
"Poetry Race?" Freezing Dotted blinked, curious, "What Poetry Race?"
"How many guest officers don't know? This is a very lively thing these days!" The shopkeeper also had the intention to show off, and said with a smile, "At the invitation of the city lord, the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River held a poetry competition in the Yanyu Building of Nanhu, which attracted many literati and scholars to come, and they all hoped to show their strengths and attract the attention of the first beauty." ”
"The first beauty in Jiangnan?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, Song Kai also frowned rarely, although Jiang Siyu looked indifferent, but his eyes also showed a little interest, but his face was full of sudden realization, and he smiled and said: "Oh! It's Aunt Chen! She wants to hold a poetry competition in Jiaxing?"
Hearing what Freezing Dian said, the shopkeeper Erhu said suspiciously: "The girl knows the first beauty?"
"Who knows?" Freezing was speechless, his little face sank, and he scolded, "Hurry up and serve the food!"
The shopkeeper was afraid of their identities and didn't dare to fight back, so he only turned his head to serve the food stupidly, but Yao Ruoyu kept an eye on it and ordered a guard to follow him, in case the other party held a grudge and did something in the dish.
After giving the order, Yao Ruoyu turned his head to look at Freezing Diandian, and said curiously: "Diandian, do you know the No. 1 beauty in Jiangnan?"
Freezing Dian hesitated a little when he heard this, then looked around and said in a low voice: "Yes, I recognize, she hugged me when I was a child, I kept calling her Aunt Chen, but then something seemed to have happened, and we didn't see each other again." ”
Yao Ruoyu bowed slightly when he heard this, he was naturally very interested in this woman known as the [No. 1 Beauty in Jiangnan], this is also human nature, after all, she is the No. 1 Beauty in Jiangnan, few people will not be interested, but they don't have invitations, and they are afraid that it will be extremely difficult to participate.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu's expression, he smiled evilly: "What, Brother Yao, are you interested?"
"It's useless to be interested, there's no invitation!" Shrugging his shoulders, Yao Ruoyu smiled foolishly.
"Cut, this little thing, wrap it up on me!" Freezing patted his chest and grinned, "My Wenzhou Commercial Bank also has a branch here, I will definitely get an invitation when I go to them." ”
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Jiang Siyu's autumn eyes bent slightly, and he chuckled.
The four of them ate and drank for a while, and after they were full, they were the first to leave at freezing and went to think of an invitation to the poetry competition, Yao Ruoyu, Song Kai, and Jiang Siyu acted separately and walked around the city.
Because he had already recognized this as Jiefang Road, Yao Ruoyu quickly judged the location of other buildings in Jiaxing in his era based on his memory, and then searched for it in the city with great interest.
As the so-called vicissitudes of life, Yao Ruoyu at this moment is more than 800 years away from the time he crossed, and the distribution of buildings in Jiaxing City is also completely different from the future, so although Yao Ruoyu has found a few places of memory, most of the scenery is still extremely unfamiliar, and he has never seen it, and it is obviously destroyed in the future and has not been passed on to his time.
As the search continued, the interest in Yao Ruoyu's eyes gradually dimmed, because he finally found that no matter how much he searched, no matter how many memories he found, this Jiaxing was not the Jiaxing in his memory after all, this may be his hometown, but it is not the hometown in his memory, and the grass and trees here are not even familiar to him from Diaoyu City.
Finally, Yao Ruoyu stopped by the river around the city, came to the riverside and sat down, looking at the river in front of him in a daze, he suddenly had no courage to continue looking, because he knew very well that no matter how he looked for it, his home would not appear here, and even his mother might never see her again in the future.
Silently closed his eyes, he held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, and a sour feeling suddenly came to his heart, for him, Jiaxing is not only his hometown, but also a kind of bond and dependence, so that he can not seem so lonely in this strange world.
But at this moment, when he saw this completely different Jiaxing, he already understood that in this world, except for a group of people in the Ministry of Literature and Art, he had no support at all, and if there was no Yang Renjie, Zhang Ziqiang, Jiang Siyu, Song Kai, Wu Xue, this world has almost nothing to do with him.
Slowly clenching his fists, a few tears suddenly splashed out of the corners of Yao Ruoyu's closed eyes, but as he opened his eyes, the sharp sword intent had already cut out all the tears and weakness, and all that was left was firmness and determination.
From now on, the only people who can fight for him are the group of partners in the Ministry of Literature and Art, and if anyone dares to threaten them, he will draw his sword and destroy the opponent at all costs.
Suddenly, Yao Ruoyu's expression froze, and he turned his head to look at his side, because he keenly noticed that just when he had just unconsciously released a few sword intents, more than ten martial artists appeared around him, and more than ten martial arts were released one after another, and there was a sign that he was going to block himself.
With a sharp look in his eyes, Yao Ruoyu suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Who is it?"
Seemed surprised by Yao Ruoyu's youth, the more than ten martial artists seemed a little hesitant, but then, they heard a deep voice from one of them: "Cao Rui of the True Martial Sword Gate, I came to seize Zhanhu on the order of the master, if Your Excellency does not want this sword, please leave Jiaxing immediately, so as not to cause trouble." ”
