One person is wearing a white Confucian robe and has an elegant temperament, and at first glance he is a person in the academy. The other person is burly and powerful like a mountain, and he is a seventh-rank martial artist.

After the two got on the boat, they went straight to Shen Lang's cabin and asked about the specific situation.

Shen Lang's reputation is actually not so famous among the people, even the people of Lingxian County only know that there is a great talent in the next county and has written a few excellent poems. As for what that person's surname is and what kind of cultivation he is, in fact, the common people don't care so much.

But for the scribes of the academy, Shen Lang can be described as famous.

That scribe is the dean of Qingshui County Academy next door to Anping County, and his cultivation has also reached the seventh-grade bachelor's realm, which is one grade higher than Lin Dong. But when I saw Shen Lang, I was just a peer, and I didn't put on the shelf of my predecessors at all.

After learning that Shen Lang had made another song out of the county, the heat in his eyes made Shen Lang feel a little palpitating.

Passing through three counties along the way, there are academy scribes on the boat, but Ying Ying has not shown up since the demon crab attack that day, and a few days have passed, and Ying Ying doesn't know if he can't find out if he has the intention, or if he can't find out.

On the ninth day of the boat, I finally saw the pier of Qingyun Mansion City from a distance.

The entire Qingyunfu City is the river transportation hub of the entire Qingyunfu, with two piers in the south and north of the city. The west side is mainly freight, and the bulk goods from various waterways are dropped here, and some important materials in Fucheng also go out from here.

The south side is mainly used to receive ordinary merchants, and the construction is also quite elegant.

It is said that this side was originally a backwater bay, but later the Liao family bought this place, and it took nearly ten years to dig the river before connecting it to the main stream of the Lanjiang River.

After that, the Zhao family built a dock on the riverbank, which was specially responsible for receiving the literati and scholars who came to the Liao family. Because the surrounding area is full of peach trees, it has an elegant name called Taohuawu.

When he was still ten miles away from Qingyun Mansion City, Shen Lang changed boats, and it was Xue Nanting, the old acquaintance of the Mansion Academy, who came to pick him up. This made Shen Lang feel a little emotional, it turned out that he was already a member of the privileged class unconsciously.

"What's Backwaterport?" Shen Lang was a little puzzled.

Xue Nanting took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "It's the river that forms a backflow here, so there is another name here, but it's a bit of a bad scenery." ”

Shen Lang was curious, and said with a smile: "What is the name, Mr. Xue has brought me out of interest, hurry up and listen to it." ”

"Scoop up the corpse pond." Seeing that Shen Lang looked like he had eaten a fly, Xue Nanting couldn't help but say, "This is not my mouth, because of the backwater, the people who drown upstream will be washed up here in the backwater, and also because of the backwater, a whirlpool will be formed so that these corpses cannot leave." Over time, if the people by the river drowned and couldn't find it, they would come here to retrieve the corpses. ”

Shen Lang couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "So, we're going to fish for the corpse pond?" ”

Xue Nanting deliberately lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Let's say this here, don't mention it in front of the Liao family." It is said that when the dockyard was first repaired, there were rumors such as haunting, and later the Zhao family spent a lot of effort to correct the name of this place. ”

The two men talked and laughed, and the boat came to a narrow pass, and soldiers on either side checked the passing ships.

Xue Nanting didn't get off the boat, but just showed the academy logo and was immediately released.

After that, I drove for about half an hour, and then I arrived outside the peach blossom dock. Sure enough, as Xue Nanting said, you can see a large peach forest from a distance, accompanied by the singing of silk and bamboo.

Shen Lang was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Xue Nanting.

Xue Nanting said with a smile: "Since it is a place where literati and scholars gather, naturally there are few singers and dancers, and there is a wonderful place called Taoan in the depths of the peach forest, if you are interested, you can go and see it." ”

Shen Lang looked at Xue Nanting and sighed: "That day in the county academy, I think Mr. Xue, you must be a respected old-timer, but you are a talented and talented man. ”

Xue Nanting's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Ziyu, please also forget the four words of virtue and respect, celebrities and celebrities are more suitable for Xue." ”

Shen Lang laughed for a while.

Xue Nanting said: "I have arrived in Fucheng, so I will talk about some serious things for my brother." ”

Shen Lang hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Please ask Brother Xue for advice." ”

He also changed the word "Mr. Xue" to "Brother Xue" with interest.

Xue Nanting nodded and said: "Qingyun Mansion City is prosperous, Ziyu's identity is different from the past, if you really want to go to the land of fireworks, remember not to go to those third-rate places, even if you really want to find a famous official, at least it must be the grade of Tao'an." ”

Shen Lang couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Xue, what are you talking about, brother, what kind of person am I!" ”

Xue Nanting said angrily: "I'm like you...... Ahem, in short, you must protect your reputation, and you won't say much about the rest of your brother, so as not to spoil the image of your brother in your heart. ”

Shen Lang couldn't help but rub his nose, and said in his heart, Brother Xue, you are still afraid of this, didn't you talk quite energetically just now?

"In addition, if there is no urgent military business, it is forbidden to fly in the air in the city. There were twenty-four thunder cannons in the city, which were arranged on the four sides of the city wall, and once they found anyone flying in the air without authorization, the city guards had the right to shoot them down directly. Xue Nanting said.

Shen Lang nodded and said, "I wrote it down." ”

Xue Nanting nodded, softened his tone, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to be nervous, as long as you don't break the law, Qingyun Mansion can be regarded as a livable place." ”

The boat was docked on the dock, and there were already people from the academy and the Liao family waiting outside. However, Shen Lang was a little regretful that he didn't see the owner of Taohuawu.

It is said that the owner of this Taohuawu is also an acquaintance of Shen Lang, and it is Liao Guangzheng who spoke for him when he asked for the Holy Judge, and it is said that he went to the capital to have something to do and was not in the city for the time being. Before leaving, he also instructed that if Shen Lang came, he must send him a message as soon as possible.

Since Liao Guangzheng was not there, Shen Lang had no intention of visiting the Liao family.

Out of Taohuawu, Xue Nanting told Shen Lang to remember to go to the academy and then part ways with him.

In fact, Xue Nanting, as a scholar of the academy, is also very busy with official duties, if it is not Shen Lang who comes today, then it will not be his turn to greet him.

Shen Lang was holding a little black cat in his arms, followed by the maidservant Lu Liu, but he looked like a son.

"Uncle, the young lady has ordered, send her a letter as soon as she arrives in Fucheng." Midori reminded him.

Shen Lang nodded: "Don't worry, find an inn first, ask the location of the Ming Post Station and go back tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

Green willow also reminded that when he arrived at the prosperous place of this city, green willow felt worried for a while.

There are too many bad people around my uncle, not to mention the winning cherry, it was Xue Nanting just now.

Obviously, he is a scholar in the academy, but he instigated his aunt to go to the land of fireworks, and it seems that he is not a serious person, so he must tell Miss about this matter, and let Miss persuade her uncle to have less dealings with the surname Xue.

Just thinking about it, Shen Lang, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.

A two-story shop appeared in front of the two, and the plaque at the door read "Wenmoju".

In fact, there are also four treasures for sale in Anping County, but Shen Lang really hasn't been there, when he was in Anping County, he was either lying on the bed, or coming and going in a hurry, and he didn't even go shopping.

Now that I have arrived in this Qingyun Mansion City, I have this opportunity.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." Shen Lang said.

led the green willow to Wenmoju, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a refreshing smell of ink. There are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around it, but it is difficult to tell whether it is genuine with Shen Lang's eyesight.

Shen Lang walked around the store, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the counter were all priced, and after looking at it, they were not cheap.

"Master, that inkstone."

The voice of the black cat suddenly sounded in Shen Lang's mind.

Following the black cat's gaze, Shen Lang walked to the northwest corner of the room. There is a small display table with an inkstone on it.

The appearance of the inkstone is very simple, but it gives Shen Lang a feeling very similar to the Cui Mang pen.

Is it Wenbao?

Shen Lang's heart moved.

Glancing at the price, he pouted again.

Sure enough, the most knowledgeable thing is the price, just such a small inkstone, it costs 1,000 taels of silver.

Compared with Shen Donglai's Yulu, his annual Yulu is about thirty taels, which is equivalent to asking him to go without eating or drinking for 30 years?

This stuff really isn't for the poor.

"The guest officer has taken a fancy to this purple ink inkstone?" A voice sounded behind Shen Lang.

When I turned my head, I saw a middle-aged man in a green shirt.

Shen Lang smiled: "The thing is good, but the price is too expensive." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, saluted Shen Lang with a fist, and said, "The contemptible Yang Xinming is the owner of this shop. Kan Gongzi is also a reader, when you know that Wenbao has never been cheap. And you get what you pay for, and this bachelor's treasure should be worth the price. ”

"Bachelor Wenbao?"

Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the Cui Mang pen that Zhen Luo gave him, and heard Xue Nanting say, that is a great Confucian treasure!

At the time, I didn't feel anything, but now when there is a comparison, I suddenly feel that the Cui Mang pen in my arms is a little hot.

The bachelor is the seventh grade of Confucianism, and the great Confucianism is the third grade of Confucianism, and the gap between the two is not an exaggeration to say that the difference between the abyss is not exaggerated.

Seeing that Shen Lang was stunned, Yang Xinming thought that he was stunned by the words "Bachelor's Wenbao", so he enthusiastically explained: "This is the inkstone used by the sage Liu Yifan in his early years during the Fengning period, and later gave it to a friend. But later, his friend's house fell into the middle of the road, and this inkstone came out. If it weren't for the fact that there was already a suitable inkstone under it, it would not have been taken out and sold. ”

Shen Lang's eyes fell on the inkstone, to be honest, this simple and elegant shape was his favorite, and if it was really a bachelor's treasure, the price of a thousand taels of silver was really not too expensive.

Green Willow said in a low voice: "If my uncle likes it, I can buy it, I still have the money and silver given by the young lady here......"

Hearing this, Shen Lang smiled dumbly, this should be given to Luliu by Yang Youqing to deal with some unexpected situations.

How could he use this kind of money, is he Shen Lang this kind of person?

In his pocket, there are thousands of taels of silver tickets given by Yang Shen!

"Then ......"

"Wait!"

Before Shen Lang's words fell, there was a loud shout behind him.

He turned his head to look, and saw a young man in a white shirt hurrying over.

"Zimo Yan, I'm Liao Dongsheng asking for it!"

Shen Lang looked strange, and said in his heart that the legendary plot ...... Is this what happened?
