Yanfeng smoke and rain, stone drum rivers and mountains.

Zhuling back cave, grass fisherman's house.

Anther Spring Creek, Yue Ping Snow Lane.

Dongzhou peach waves, West Lake white lotus.

Hengzhou Mansion, Jiuqu Xiangshui, towering Hengshan, outstanding people.

Under the sunset, a cargo ship entered the important town of Huguang along the Xiangshui River and stopped at the Hengzhou wharf in the city.

On the wharf, ships gathered, people and vehicles came and went, and the sound was boiling and lively.

"Is this the largest wharf in Hengzhou Mansion? Sure enough, it was lively and prosperous. ”

Zhao Yu and Wei Xiao got off the cargo ship, Wei Xiao lifted the bookcase and luggage on his body, and looked at the lively dock, surprised.

"Hmmm! It's really hilarious! ”

Zhao Yu nodded, and looked around with a smile.

Although Zhao Yu had seen a more lively wharf than this in his previous life, the Hengzhou wharf at this time was full of antiquity, giving people a sense of simplicity, tranquility and comfort, which made him can't help but take a few more looks.

Being in this antique wharf, Zhao Yu's mood became happy in vain, stepping on the sunset, and walking briskly towards the outside of the wharf.

Wei Xiao looked around and followed closely behind Zhao Yu.

The two left the dock and came to the street on the dock.

On the lively street, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man in a long shirt suddenly walked over briskly and bowed to Zhao Yu:

"Lu Shang, a subordinate Shangtang, has seen the young master!"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Yu nodded and looked at the young man named Lu Shang with a smile.

After Lu Shang straightened up, he smiled at Zhao Yu and said:

"Young master, my subordinates are ordered by the eldest sister to come to Fucheng in advance to fight for the young master, and my subordinates have arranged a place for the young master, please come down with the young master!"

After that, Lu Shang took a package from Wei Xiao's hand, shared the luggage for him, and then prepared to lead the way in front.

However, Zhao Yu raised his hand to stop Lu Shang, looked at the street, and said:

"Don't worry, where is the Minxin Bureau near here? Take me there! ”

"Yes! Just in front, turn around the street in front and arrive, the young master comes down with his subordinates! ”

Lu Shang pointed to the street entrance more than 100 meters in front of him, and then took the lead in walking towards the front.

Behind, Zhao Yu and Wei Xiao raised their heels.

The Civil Credit Bureau is a privately run private communication agency, founded by Ningbo Gang businessmen during the Yongle period, the business includes the delivery of letters, goods, and foreign exchange, and its institutions are distributed all over the country, and it is the largest non-governmental communication organization.

Zhao Yu went to the Minxin Bureau to reply to his home, but he did not forget the ardent expectations of the Hu family when he left, but he did not dare to let his mother worry about his safety at home.

Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the capital city of Hengzhou, the first thing Zhao Yu had to do was to report safety to his family.

Of course, Zhao Yu himself also has a communication channel, that is, the dark hall behind him, but Zhao Yu doesn't want to reply to his home through the dark hall.

First, the family didn't know the existence of the Zhao Mansion yet, and Zhao Yu didn't want the dark hall to be exposed.

The second is that sending the letter through the Civil Information Bureau will make Hu more at ease, because the letter from the Civil Information Bureau has a special mark, which will show the place of sending, and Hu will know that his son has arrived safely in Fucheng as soon as he sees that the letter is sent from Fucheng.

The three of them came to the street in front of them, then turned to another street, and after walking more than 200 meters to the right, they came to a shop with a sign of 'Minxin Bureau'.

There were many people in and out of the Minxin Bureau, Zhao Yu asked Wei Xiao and Lu Shang to wait outside, and he entered the Minxin Bureau alone.

After a while, when Zhao Yu came out again, as if he had completed a big event, the whole person became relaxed, and a calm smile appeared on his face.

Coming out of the Minxin Bureau, Zhao Yu and Wei Xiao followed Lu Shangchao to the place where he lived.

The accommodation arranged by Lu Shang for Zhao Yu was an inn called 'Chunxi'.

Chunxi Inn is a high-end inn in the capital of Hengzhou, with a tall five-story building in front and a small courtyard for rent in the back, which is very luxurious.

At this time, it was sunset, and there were many diners eating and drinking in the lobby on the first floor of the Spring Creek Inn, most of them were students dressed as scholars.

Zhao Yu and the three walked into the inn with the sunset on their backs, because the three of them carried a lot of luggage, which attracted the attention of many diners in the lobby.

Zhao Yu just glanced at the lobby casually, and then followed Lu Shang towards the inside.

But at this moment, a handsome young man suddenly stood up on a table in the lobby, and walked over to Zhao Yu laughing:

"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao is polite!"

Approaching, the handsome young man bowed to Zhao Yu.

"I've seen Brother Chu!"

Zhao Yu stopped and returned the salute with a smile.

This handsome young man is Qiu Xueyan's disciple Chu Wangqiu!

He and Chu Wangqiu met at the private school autumn meeting a few years ago, because the teachers of the two families are friends, and their relationship is also very good, they have been in contact with each other often in recent years, and they are Zhao Yu's real friends.

And this time, Chu Wangqiu also came to participate in the government exam.

Chu Wangqiu was very happy to see Zhao Yu, and after greeting him, he said with a smile:

"Brother Zhao is finally here, I went to your house a few days ago to invite you to come to Fucheng together, but I was told by Aunt Hu that you were out of the house, so I came alone."

"Thank you Brother Chu for your care, the little brother has been delayed by some things when he goes out these days, and he only arrived today!"

Zhao Yu smiled again and arched his hand.

"Is it just today?"

Chu Wangqiu's eyes condensed slightly, looked at Wei Xiao and Lu Shang behind Zhao Yu, and saw that the two of them were carrying luggage, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Yikes! Brother Zhao hasn't found a place to live yet? That's a big deal! ”

The exclamation was loud, and it attracted the attention of all the diners in the lobby.

Seeing the dust and dust of Zhao Yu and the many luggage, a group of scholars and students who were eating and drinking here suddenly gloated.

On a table on the left, by the window, there was a chuckle:

"Hehe, as an excellent student, you must not only understand learning, but also be diligent in chores! What about winning the second place in Changning County? I only know how to study hard, but I don't know all the things about scientific research, and it seems that I want to sleep on the streets! ”

The voice was full of mockery, but also preachy, full of schadenfreude.

Hearing the voice, everyone here looked at the table by the window, and Zhao Yu also looked over.

I saw that at the table, there was a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe who was about the same age as Zhao Yu.

The man had red lips and white teeth, and he was very tender, but he looked old-fashioned, and when Zhao Yu looked at him, he also raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu proudly.

Zhao Yu frowned when he saw this person.

This person, Zhao Yu naturally knows, is the disciple of Lu Yan of the Kaiyuan School in Changning County, Yin Changyu, who competed with him in the private school autumn meeting, but lost the competition!

Yin Changyu, like Zhao Yu, also participated in the county exam this year, and also went to high school.

However, Zhao Yu didn't care about Yin Changyu, just glanced at him, then looked at Chu Wangqiu in front of him again, frowned:

"Brother Chu, what's wrong?"
