The clipper of the Jiangyu Shi Yamen still didn't move, and the fellow on the boat was in a dilemma, and his face was ugly.

But Xu He didn't care about him anymore, he asked the sailor to prop up the boat to the side of the official ship of Zhenke, the great monk laughed, and let people get on Xu He's boat, and just like that, the ship continued to go west in the gnashing of teeth.

Waiting for the boat to leave, Xu He shook his head and said, "Thank you for the grace of the mage." ”

Master Zhenke is really okay, he waved his hand and smiled freely: "The poor monk is also entrusted by others!" ”

Xu He was surprised: "I was a little surprised when I saw this official ship just now, I don't know ...... this."

"Jiangdu Zhixian is my friend, this is my borrowed official ship!" Zhen Ke continued, "As for the poor monk, it was entrusted by the Beiming monk, and he said that although you are on a boat to prepare for the Japanese, I am afraid that it is still not very safe, so let the poor monk come to welcome the donor to Yangzhou." ”

"It turned out to be Uncle Shi!" As soon as he said this, he was not surprised, Xie Kun seemed to be unruly in his dealings, but he was actually very careful, otherwise Li Zhijie would not have handed over the city defense of Hailing County to this friend.

The reason why the last encounter with the enemy was so miserable was that Xie Kun could not be blamed at all, but because the situation forced him to have no troops available, he could only go out of the city hard, not a crime of war.

Master Zhenke sat in the cabin and looked at Xu He curiously: "Listening to Xie Shizhu's letter, Xu Gongzi is very good at writing poems?" ”

When Xu He heard this, he suddenly remembered something about Tianning Temple.

There is a saying in the national dynasty that "the bottle water is cold and knows the cold, and the rise and fall of Yangzhou can be the national fortune", and there is a version of this sentence called "the bottle water is cold and knows the cold, and the rise and fall of a temple in Tianning can be known as Wenyun".

Since the Tang Dynasty, the monks in the temple have appeared frequently, and in the later Kangxi years, the three important books of "All Tang Poems", "All Tang Literature" and "Pei Wenyun Mansion" were compiled and completed in Yangzhou Tianning Temple.

It can be said that Tianning Temple is full of literary rhyme, without hundreds of years of deep accumulation, the temple will not be written in style.

Thinking of this, Xu He smiled and said, "The mage is also interested in the way of poetry? ”

Really can read the sound of the Buddha: "Tianning Temple is adjacent to Meihualing, Panghua Village, Xiaomao Mountain, Leitang, do not compose poems, will not live up to the beautiful scenery?" ”

At this time, the boat traveled to the Baobao River, and the tall city wall of Yangzhou Mansion appeared in front of him not far away.

This guarantee river has a wide water surface, and it was originally the remains of the moat of Tang Luo City and Song Dacheng, and it was an ordinary river.

However, since the implementation of the Great Wei Dynasty's salt industry, a large number of merchants gathered in Yangzhou, and many rich salt merchants in the world have hired famous gardeners to paint and operate along the banks of the river, and build water gardens.

The 24 views of the Slender West Lake in later generations have now taken shape in many ways.

Moreover, the tourists along the coast are weaving, the large and small restaurants and restaurants are lined up, and it is really a sense of déjà vu that the waist is wrapped around 100,000 and riding a crane to Yangzhou.

Seeing this, Xu He sighed: "The weeping willows continue to pick up the remnants, and the wild goose teeth and red bridges are like drawings; It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake! ”

The great monk was stunned and silent when he heard this.

After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "No wonder Lord Xie said that you are a poetic classic, even if it is more difficult, you can easily come to it." ”

"If the poor monk's guess is correct, this [Selling a Pot of Gold] should come from the book "Old Things of Martial Arts" by Qianyuan Zhou, right?"

Xu He: "......"

This poem was actually written by Wang Xin during the Qianlong period of the later generations, hence the name of Slender West Lake.

Xu He couldn't help but recite this poem when he saw Slender West Lake in this life, he really didn't mean to show off, not to mention, who is this Zhou Mi? Is "Old Things in Martial Arts" a martial arts novel? I don't know!

But Zhenke thought that Xu He was young and full of poetry and books, and even involved in this kind of "Old Things in Martial Arts", which the world knew very little, and his evaluation of Xu He instantly increased by several levels.

"There are clouds in the book "Wulin Old Things", [the West Lake has a beautiful world, morning and dusk, sunny and rainy, the four sequences are always appropriate, and the people of Hangzhou do not travel all the time...... The money of the day is extremely disciplined, so the Hangzhou proverb has the name of 'selling the golden pot']"

After reciting it, he looked at the rows of shops and crowds of people along the coast, and couldn't help but praise: "Lord Xu, the name of Slender West Lake is appropriate, it is much better than Baohe River, as soon as this poem comes out, this name is easy!" ”

Chu Yuan was behind Xu He, and when they heard him casually recite a poem, they were amazed by Master Zhenke of Tianning Temple, and they couldn't help but admire him even more in their hearts.

Xu He was embarrassed, didn't pay attention, and pretended to be there again, in this life, I didn't expect Slender West Lake to be named after me.

After a while, the boat docked, and the great monk led Xu He and others into the city and went straight to Yangzhou Weixing.

Along the way, there were monks, scholars, and fast people wearing uniforms, and the combination was strange, attracting many people.

When they were about to arrive at the Yangzhou Weiyamen, there was suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Xu He looked back and saw a person galloping on horseback, and the pedestrians hurriedly dodged when they saw this.

Seeing that the man was running straight towards Xu He and the others, the great monk was really shocked, and hurriedly pulled Xu He to the side.

Then the reins of the horse were reined, and the horse's front hooves were raised, and it came to a dangerous stop in front of the people.

The cold sweat on Xu He's back oozed out and wet the jacket.

Looking at people again, he was immediately angry.

The guy who is in the city is none other than the son of Zhou Yi, the prefect of Yangzhou.

Zhou Gongzi sat on the horse, looked down at Xu He and the others with a proud face, and only said after a while: "I didn't expect you to really come to Yangzhou!" ”

Dare to ride in the downtown area, either rich or expensive, Xu He's group, in addition to Zhen Ke, Chu Yuan and himself, the other two schoolchildren who protect each other, as well as the pro-soldiers and Kuaishou who escorted Xu He to Yangzhou, all dare not speak, and they don't even dare to make contact with this broad young eye.

Especially Zhang Jingxian's personal soldiers, when he met Cao Jiangjun, he knew that the other party had a lot of scruples, and he dared to break one or two, but like this kind of Yanei, he kicked you half to death on a horse, and then dropped the silver and didn't care if you lived or died, there was no bottom line at all, so everyone was afraid.

Xu He was angry in his heart, he stood in front of everyone, and sneered: "Zhou Gongzi, you are really painstaking, I am a little elementary school child, and I am not even a child, and I even bother your father and son to invite Cao Jiangjun, I really look up to me!" ”

Zhou Gongzi saw anger and ridicule in Xu He's eyes, but Zhou Gongzi didn't care, he saw a lot of such eyes in Yangzhou, but in the end, the eyes of these people would all turn into fear, despair or flattery.

He glanced at Xu He indifferently and said: "You are very lucky, there are many people who protect you, but this son quietly told you the news, you, the head of the county test, will definitely not pass the government test, do you believe it?" ”

Before Xu He could speak, Chu Yuan behind him was furious: "Xu He is the head of the county test, let alone a government test, even if it is a road test, it can be passed as usual." And who are you who dare to say in broad daylight that Xu He will definitely not be able to pass the government examination and manipulate the imperial examination, and his crime should be punished, do you know? I'm not afraid that we will go to Nanjing to sue you!! ”

Zhou Gongzi deliberately pretended to be scared on his face, clutched his chest and said, "Sue me?" I'm so scared! Hahaha! ”

After laughing, he pulled the reins of his horse, turned his head and left!
