Chapter 140: The jade card is shining
In fact, there are not many places for the big ship to stop on the way, and since it set sail from Mingzhou, it has also stayed in Xiaohe Village near Boyungang, and then another small village.
Some time ago, when the big ship docked near Yungang, Yi Shuyuan also accompanied Yang Bencai to see the River Temple.
The statues of the river gods have collapsed, but the temple is still open, and the broken statues of the river gods in the main hall have been cleaned up, and then a banner painted with the gods has been hung, saying that they are preparing to replace the statues.
I have to say that Miao Zhu's ability to change his thinking is really strong, but it also disappointed Yang Bencai and felt that he was unlucky.
After sailing for about 20 days, the ship finally approached the water port of Chengtianfu.
The river basin had already become wider when it was still a dozen miles away from Chengtianfu.
When they arrived here, the sailing speed of each ship also began to decrease, and in Yi Shuyuan's sight, the surrounding ships gradually became denser.
"Jinggang is almost here—"
A shout from the shipwright on the deck also caused the people in the cabin to come out.
The port has not yet arrived, and the sails lining the nearby are already very spectacular, and the Chengtianfu port in the distance is even more grandiose in scale.
Yang Bencai was standing next to Yi Shuyuan, and his heart was obviously high at the moment.
"Beijing, I'm Yang Ben just here, and when I get the title of the gold list, I can be famous all over the world——"
Yang Ben just shouted like this, not only the people on the boat were looking at him, but even the ships that were a little closer nearby were also looking at him.
Even Yi Shuyuan's face sighed and left Yang Bencai's side two steps.
Under the boat, Lu Yuwei has been following, and she has not become a carp, but swims as a human body.
Lu Yuwei twisted forward with her legs together like a fishtail, and she didn't even need the assistance of her hands, she could flexibly control the direction just by relying on the flexibility of her body, and her speed was not slow at all.
Yi Shuyuan stood on the side of the ship, glanced at the water with his spare eyes, and thought to himself that if Lu Yuwei went to the world of his previous life, what kind of mermaid performance position would he apply for in that kind of aquarium, that level would definitely be second to none.
The closer you get to the port of Chengtianfu, the more dense the ships become, but not without order, and there are actually some small boats sent by the government that pass through the river.
One of them was also approaching the big ship where Yi Shuyuan and the others were.
The big ship had anchored at this moment, and the difference in height between the two ships was eight or nine feet, and the big ship threw down a bundle of rope ladders.
Then a turban-clad officer in the boat climbed up the rope ladder.
As soon as the official arrived, the shipowner, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over, yes, it was the old man who collected the fare.
"Poor master, we are from Mingzhou, when will the berths be arranged?"
The official scanned the ship for a week, and it could be seen that the ship was also carrying some passengers, and his eyes stopped slightly at Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai, which should be Confucian students who were rushing to take the exam.
"Mingzhou, then it should be the tea that has been transported? Do I need to return the goods? Have the numbers and estimated length of stay been calculated? ”
"Back to the poor master, it is tea, the quantity is not much, only a small half of the warehouse, the specific amount and a should be recorded, you see."
The steward handed over a note, but Yi Shuyuan, who was not far away, obviously saw that there was something under the note, and eighty percent of it was a silver ticket or something.
The official took the note and rubbed the bottom, glanced at it quickly, and saw that it was the five taels of silver tickets from the Beijing Chase Bank, and suddenly had some smiles on his face.
"Well, I know the rules, and I've written them all, so it saves me a lot of trouble, and there are no wanted criminals on board, right?"
"Oh, what is this, our owner is a small business, and he has repeatedly told me to watch it tightly, how dare I break the law!"
The official smiled.
"Selling tea can still be a small business, you businessmen, hehehehe, I'll go down to the warehouse to check, routine is still inevitable!"
"Yes, yes, please do it!"
The steward stretched out his hand again and again to ask.
After the official mission had finished checking, the official returned to the deck and handed the steward a wooden sign that said "Bingliu" represented the berth, and gave him a sticky note, stamped with the seal he had with him.
"Enter the port tomorrow and leave the port at noon the day after tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, but you can't exceed the time!"
"I know, thank you! Slow down! ”
The steward nodded repeatedly.
The official waved his hand, looked in the direction of Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai and shouted as he walked towards the rope ladder.
"When there is a decree today, this year's Spring Festival has restored the content of the art of war and martial arts, those who can know the military affairs can try it, this will is spread, but it should not be widely spread."
Decades ago, Dayong's martial arts department was replaced by a series of systems mainly based on the recommendation system in the army, and there has been no special examination for many years, but it makes sense to join again.
In fact, Dayong's imperial examination also has certain rules to follow, and in some hot years, some things will also be reflected in other imperial examination papers.
For example, if the martial arts resume in the first year of this year, then when the liberal arts tribute exam, there is a high probability that there may be military content involved, maybe not much, but absolutely.
After all, Dayong has always had the tradition of Confucian generals, and it is a good story to be able to write and martial arts.
In fact, as long as this kind of thing is in the capital, it will definitely be known immediately, but it is still very acceptable to know in advance.
Yang Bencai hurriedly thanked him when he heard this.
"Thank you for telling me, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known!"
Yi Shuyuan also arched his hand towards this official, although he was not a candidate, but the other party was obviously kind to him.
The official smiled and waved his hand down the rope ladder, and the small boat continued on to the other cargo ships.
The steward of the ship smiled at Yang Bencai and Yi Shuyuan.
"Well, it's good to take our boat, right? But this son, aren't you going to Chengtianfu? ”
Yi Shuyuan restrained his smile, this person has a good memory, and was about to say something, but the other party didn't speak anymore, smiled and waved his hand and turned away.
It will be impossible to enter the harbor during the day today, and it will have to wait until tomorrow morning, and the people on board will start to rest in advance.
However, the fact that the cargo ship could not enter the port did not mean that the passengers on board could not go ashore, and not long after the official boat left, some folk boats rowed past the side of these anchored ships.
"Does anyone want to go ashore—does anyone want to go ashore—ten copper coins per person, sent to the shore and directly to the port—"
Someone shouted below, and Yi Shuyuan looked at Yang Bencai and said.
"Brother Yang, I'm going to go ashore directly, do you want to go ashore together?"
Yi Shuyuan may not care if he waits for another day, but Lu Yuwei can't wait, but he doesn't dare to cast spells alone.
Yang Bencai shook his head and refused.
"Brother Yi, you have to find a place to live when you go ashore, and you have to get food, you can stay on the boat for one night tonight, and the meals are also managed by Meng Bo, why are you in a hurry to go ashore, look at me, and read books on the boat!"
None of the other passengers on the big ship seemed to have any reaction to the early ferry.
Yi Shuyuan smiled and shook his head.
"Then I'll go on my own, boatman—I'm going to get ashore, row over and wait a moment—"
The first half of the sentence Yi Shuyuan was said to Yang Bencai, and the second half of the sentence was shouted to the ferry not far away.
"Okay—"
After getting the response from the ferry, Yi Shuyuan made a special trip to the stern position to say goodbye to Meng Laohan and others, and some boatmen were sent to the side of the boat, looking a little reluctant.
"Mr. Yi, take care!" "Sir, where did you buy that kind of medicinal wine, is it really inconvenient to tell me?"
"Alas, Hugh is going to say it, Mr. Yi said that it was not easy to come by, and he can't afford it if you tell you!" "That's right"
"Take care, sir!"
Meng Laohan also made a salute, and there must be eight or nine people who gave Yi Shuyuan, in addition to Yang Bencai and the five-person boatman, there were also several other boatmen, all of whom had eaten together.
Yi Shuyuan bowed back to everyone.
"Don't worry, Yi can take care of himself, and it is fate to go all the way with the ship, thank you for taking care of it!"
The ferry boat on one side had also reached the side, it was a small boat with a shed, and there were already some passengers on it, and there were quite a few of them.
"Childe, you're going to get on the boat, right?"
Yi Shuyuan looked at the people on the big ship and saluted again.
"Everyone, maybe you can see you again in the future, Brother Yang, I wish you the title of the gold list!"
"Brother Yi, take care!"
Although the other party is not a candidate, there is such a knowledgeable and reasonable Confucian student on the ship, which also makes him not too lonely along the way.
"Boom"
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, as if it was going to rain, which also caused everyone to subconsciously look up.
"Alright, leave it at that!"
After speaking, Yi Shuyuan climbed down the rope ladder that was lowered by the boatman again, and after a few steps, he fell onto the ferry boat with a slight jump, making the bow of the boat shake slightly.
"Mr. Yi, take care-" "Sir, go to the cabin, it's going to rain-"
The people on the boat were still calling, and with Yi Shuyuan's wave of his hand, the boatman on the ferry had already rowed the paddle and turned the direction of the boat to prepare to go ashore.
There were some ripples of water droplets on the surface of the river, and the raindrops fell sporadically, gradually from fine to slightly dense.
"Bang la la lah."
A light rain fell, and the entire Chengtianfu port was stained with a layer of smoke.
Yi Shuyuan wanted to go into the cabin to take shelter from the rain, but found that the cabin was already full of passengers, and no one was willing to move, he smiled and didn't say anything, just stood at the bow and looked at the big ship that was gradually moving away.
It's just that at this moment, a woman in red walked out of the cabin, she held the umbrella that was opened after leaving the cabin, and stood beside Yi Shuyuan.
"How many umbrellas do you have?"
Seeing Yi Shuyuan who came over to ask this, Lu Yuwei smiled and stretched out a finger.
"Just a handful!"
Yi Shuyuan originally wanted to use a folding fan to change it, but he also felt that there was no need to be so hypocritical.
On the side of the big ship, Yang Bencai, who was about to enter the cabin to hide from the rain, suddenly saw this scene, and immediately beat his chest and regretted it.
"Oops! I knew I was going with Brother Yi! ”
The woman in red was born with a three-point dust color just by looking at her back, and she was actually on such a small ferry!
"Boom—"
The thunder in the sky exploded, and many people's hearts trembled when they heard it.
Yi Shuyuan and Lu Yuwei both looked up at the sky.
"It's the Thunder Celestial God, and it has been appearing in the Kaiyang Canal Valley during this time, I'm afraid I'm looking for something!"
Lu Yuwei's words were deeply believed by Yi Shuyuan, and he felt more and more that it was likely to be related to him.
The jade plate given by Heavenly Court slipped out of Yi Shuyuan's sleeve, and speaking of which, Cao Yugao, one of the five thunder generals, also had an agreement with himself.
I don't know if Cao Yugao found his friend.
"Huh? Mr. Yi, what is this? ”
Lu Yuwei was actually very nervous holding an umbrella next to Yi Shuyuan, even her heartbeat was much faster, she was just pretending to be relaxed on the surface, and when she saw the jade plate, she hurriedly spoke to relieve her tension.
"Hehe, this is the jade plate sent by the Emperor of Heaven to Mr.!"
Gray Mian's voice came from under the hair on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder, Lu Yuwei was slightly startled, and nodded to feel very novel.
"Then why is it bright?"
Not long after the jade plate arrived in Yi Shuyuan's hand, the handwriting on it actually flashed a few times, which means that a god is coming!
