Chapter 720: Passing by Tongling

"Yang Hanlin, aren't you feeling unwell? Why did you come out, be careful of the wind on the bow of the ship. Just when Fang Hong and the others hadn't said a few words, a slightly chubby figure walked out from the other side of the boat.

"You see, the man who thinks he is elegant has come. When the scholar saw the comer, he whispered to Fang Hongyi. When Fang Hong heard this, he couldn't help but smile secretly, this person's first acquaintance gave people a sense of domineering, but after getting acquainted with it, it could make people see the pure heart.

"It turned out to be Lord Qian. When this scholar was talking to Fang Hong, he was talking and laughing, but after seeing the person coming, his face turned cold, and he just said hello lukewarmly. "I couldn't ventilate in this cabin, and I was quite bored, so I came out to breathe. ”

"The scenery on this river is quite good, come out to see, you can also increase your poetry, I don't know if Yang Hanlin has any masterpieces?" This figure approached, it was a middle-aged Confucian in his forties, although he was not wearing an official uniform, but he still had a sense of majesty, and he should also be the master of the front and back hugs on weekdays.

"Although the scenery is good, my head is empty. The scholar's face was even more impatient, but he still endured his unhappiness and said a little perfunctorily.

"I guess it's because I'm not feeling well...... Hey, who is this?" the middle-aged Confucian laughed dryly, and after casually snorting, he changed the topic and turned to Fang Hong.

"I'm an unknown person, and I'm not from Shilin, so it's not enough to worry about it. Fang Hong wasn't too familiar with this person, so he casually said a few perfunctory words.

"Haha, I can talk to Yang Hanlin about the scriptures and the Tao, that is absolutely extraordinary, I naturally want to get to know it, and I can ask for teaching questions in the future. "This Confucian is really a bit faceless and skinless, not only can he climb up the pole, but he can climb even without a pole.

"Master Qian, do you have anything else?" the scholar flicked his sleeves, really angry, and said loudly. Is this man really going to go on and on here?

"Oh, that's right, the front is Chizhou Mansion, and the ship will anchor there for a while, so I don't know if Yang Hanlin wants to get off the boat and rest. The middle-aged Confucian smiled, as if he hadn't noticed the change in the scholar's face at all.

"Well, it's okay, this brother, do you want to get off the boat and eat something together, the food on this ship is really a bit difficult to eat. Hearing this, the scholar's face first showed a hint of hesitation, and then nodded.

Fang Hong thought for a while, and then responded, the things on this ship were indeed a little unpalatable, although he didn't care about these tongue desires, but he could eat better, so why not do it.

Hearing this, the smile on the Confucian student's face bloomed even more, and he deliberately nodded at Fang Hong, and Fang Hong also returned the salute. He doesn't have much bad feeling for this fat man, a noble person has a noble person's way of living, and a sycophant person also has a sycophant's way of living, and it doesn't hinder others from doing anything.

The ship soon docked, and the anchorage was in a county town called Tongling. Although Tongling is not famous, it has an extremely long history, dating back to the Xia and Shang periods.

During the time before docking, Fang Hong also knew a little about these two people. The scholar's name is Yang Shen, who is from Sichuan and Shu, and the middle-aged Confucian student, named Qian Ruowang, whose ancestral home is Yuhang, is now a professor in Nankang Mansion, and his official position is not low.

What kind of official is a professor? He is an official in charge of the imperial examination and education of a government. You must know that if any civil official wants to ascend to the throne nowadays, he must do so through the imperial examination, so the official who can be in charge of the imperial examination must be extremely powerful, and in many places, it is even more effective than the prefect's speech.

However, just such an official, he still has to please Yang Shen like this, and the origin of this Yang Shen is afraid to be even greater.

"I can tell you, when you come to this Tongling, you must eat this Datong dried tea. The taste of this dried tea is famous far and wide, and their pig's trotters can make you smash your mouth for a night. After entering Tongling County, Qian Ruowang seemed to have come to his home, and introduced Fang Hong and the others to Fang Hong.

Only after this inquiry did I know that ten years ago, Qian Ruowang had taught in Tongling.

His chubby body became extremely flexible at the moment, and he quickly roamed the streets and alleys of Tongling. Fang Hong was very patient, and followed all the way behind, but Yang Shen was a little worried on his face.

"This is it, I didn't expect that I was gone for ten years, this store is still there, count the years, this store is afraid that it is more than 30 years old. John Qian led the two to a small restaurant.

This restaurant looks like it has been some years old, and the signboard is a little dilapidated, and this signboard reads "Chase Dry Tea" four big characters. Don't look at this sign is dilapidated, but these words are plump and complete, the structure is rigorous, and it is the handwriting of a famous artist at a glance.

"These words are not bad, I didn't expect such a store to be willing to spend money to ask everyone to write. Yang Shen also saw the words on the signboard, and the resentment in his heart couldn't help but dissipate a little.

"Hey, hey. Qian Ruowang grinned and walked straight in. The room is relatively dark, and the tables and chairs are a little black, but as soon as you enter the room, you can smell a smell and fragrance, which makes you can't help but relish.

"Old man Gu, are you here, there's business coming to your door. Qian Ruowang shouted at the inner room, and immediately a man in his thirties came out, this man was thin and thin, wearing a gray hat on his head, a white cloth on his shoulder, and an apron tied around his waist, which was stained with oil.

"A few guests, do you want to eat something? The man tore the white cloth, wiped the table and chairs several times, and then said to the three of them. The clothes of these three people look like they are either rich or expensive, so they naturally have to be treated carefully.

"You're Gu Xiaoer, right, what about your father?" Qian Ruowang glanced at the man back and forth, and then said with some uncertainty.

"My dad went three years ago, who are you?" The man also looked at Qian Ruowang, looking up and down, and suddenly, he patted his head, "You are Lord Qian, yo, you haven't been here for ten years, you look at my memory, these years are thanks to the words you gave back then, the business of our small shop has been a lot better." ”

"Okay, don't hold me up, if your business is good, you won't be left alone. It's still the old rule, serve the food, let me see how much you've learned this craft. Qian Ruowang naturally sat on the side and said to the man.

"Okay. The man immediately threw off the white cloth and quickly went to the backyard.
