Lanke Chess Edge

On the second day, when Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng woke up to wash, they were told by old man Chen that Ji Yuan had already rowed away and said that he would wait for them at Zhuangyuandu.

Compared with driving them to Zhuangyuandu and then to the other side, it is definitely more meaningful to meet at Zhuangyuandu and upload the ferry to the other side.

After breakfast at Chen's house, old man Chen's son Chen Jinghong took two scholars to Zhuangyuandu. He wanted to drive an ox cart, but the speed was not as fast as walking.

Chen Jinghong was originally a villager, and the two scholars had gone through long-distance training for the exam, so the three of them walked at a fast pace, and they covered more than ten miles in more than an hour.

The closer you get to Zhuangyuandu, the more people will flow here. It seems that there are people slowly converging here from the roads in all directions. It doesn’t mean that they are all tributes, but more people come here to worship Jiangshen Niangniang at the Jiangshen Temple. .

Before reaching Zhuangyuan Ferry, the man of the Chen family stopped, pointed to the two places in front of him and said to the two scholars:

"The building with white walls and black tiles over there is Tongtian River Temple. Although it is not the largest temple on the entire river, its incense is one of the best. Especially many scholars leave poems and poems there, and here It's Zhuangyuan Ferry, Mr. Ji must be near the North Small Wharf, just look for it!"

After Chen Jinghong finished speaking, he was about to leave. He had nothing to go there, so there was no need to follow him to the end.

"Thank you Brother Chen for sending me off!" "Yes, thank you Brother Chen, I, Shi Yusheng, will definitely repay you when I become an official in the future!"

"Hey, that's good, I wish you two high school students, I'll go first, take care!"

Chen Jinghong smiled, turned around and left after seeing the two people clasped their hands and returned the salute to them. He had seen many such scholars, and each of them hoped that he would be the next champion after passing the champion.

Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng waited for Chen Jinghong to leave before they each tightened their bookcases, and walked towards Zhuangyuandu in the slightly cold wind. It wasn't that they didn't want to visit Jiangshen Temple, but they didn't want to keep Ji Yuan waiting for a long time.

Both Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng have seen the Chunhui Mansion Wharf. In their eyes, the Zhuangyuan Ferry is far inferior to the Chunhui Mansion Wharf. But when they look at the faintly visible wharf on the other side, it is the water transportation hub of Gyeonggi Province. It is more magnificent than the outer port of Chunhui Mansion.

It's just different from the many cruise ships in Chunhui Mansion, that one is a real cargo hub, and there are few flower boats. In addition, it is severe winter at this time, and there are not many cargo ships, and only one occasionally docks.

. . .

The wupeng boat is parked next to a small pier in the north. Although the boats on the side are smaller than other places in the wharf, they are considered big compared to the wupeng boats.

Ji Yuan sat on the bow of the boat and watched "Yu Lun" by himself, and he also heard the noise of the ferry terminal in this port.

It seems to be because the name of this ferry is Zhuangyuan Ferry, and it also carries a literary spirit. There are sellers of the Four Treasures of the Study and calligraphy and paintings here. When Ji Yuan looked up while reading a book, he unexpectedly found that there are many auras mixed in. A faint aura of crape myrtle stands out from the crowd of mixed auras.

'Could it be that there is some favored prince in this champion ferry? '

Although the crape myrtle aura is very shallow, it looks very pure and there are not too many variegated colors mixed in, which shows that at least his human nature has not been infected by the stale and extravagant aura of the court. Character.

Ji Yuan frowned and thought about it, and then looked at the direction of entering the pier.

The interesting thing is that Yin Zhaoxian's arrogance and righteousness are also conspicuous, and the two spirits seem to be drawn while rising.

'It seems that what is said in the "Wai Dao Zhuan" is not bad, and those who are 'bright' in Ziwei's spirit, invite virtuous ministers! '

Ji Yuan jumped onto the pier from the bow, ready to see if there would be an interesting encounter.

. . .

Next to a four-treasures booth in Zhuangyuandu, a man in his thirties who could be regarded as divinely handsome, accompanied by several followers, was walking and looking around.

One of the servants immediately expressed concern when he saw the man rubbing his hands and exhaling.

"Third Young Master, if you feel cold, we'll go to the boat. There's a heater and down jackets inside..."

"Hey! You are here again, spoiling the fun!"

The man waved his hand to stop the chattering of the servants, and wandered forward again. Today, he came to the Jiangshen Temple to see if there were any new exquisite inscriptions, but he found nothing, so he took a look at the Zhuangyuandu by the way.

Those scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam, this season gathers the most scholars, and they are all those who passed the exam with their talents. It is also very interesting to see the expressions of these so-called talented scholars in each state facing the number one scholar. If you can find one or two interesting people It's even more interesting.

At this moment, the man saw Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng who just walked into the pier with the bookcases on their backs. Seeing that their hands and faces were flushed from the cold, it seemed that they came here by themselves?

The nearest market to Zhuangyuandu is thirty miles away, and the nearest village is twenty miles away. The scholars who walked such a long way against the cold wind in the early morning are at least the first two today.

The man pointed to the two scholars and said to others: "Do you think these two came here on foot or by car?"

The servant next to him fixed his eyes on the scholar not far away, and answered after a while:

"Reporting to the third son, although these two people's footsteps are relatively steady, they are stepping softly. They must have traveled a long distance and are already showing signs of fatigue."

The man let out an "oh", and found that the two of them were also walking towards this side. He also took a look at the calligraphy and paintings listed at the booth next to him, but he didn't stop walking.

That is, when he was about to pass by the man, Yin Zhaoxian suddenly stopped and looked at him, and then walked forward a few steps like a ghost, and reached a dangerous range, causing several servants around the man to squint their eyes.

Several fierce people focused their attention here, Shi Yusheng was flustered when he saw it, and hurried to pull Yin Zhaoxian.

"Sir, what is there on my face?"

The man's questioning of Yin Zhaoxian, coupled with Shi Yusheng's tugging, made him apologize as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Everyone, please forgive me, just now Yin was in a daze. Seeing this young master thought he was very kind, but he must have never seen it before. I just felt very strange..."

Yin Zhaoxian lowered his voice, and found that the other party had two servants standing behind him and Shi Yusheng, and two other servants suddenly grabbed their arms, and the people behind even opened the bookcase and rummaged through it.

"What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it!"

Shi Yusheng yelled in panic, Yin Zhaoxian calm down but his face is not good-looking, he has caused trouble by looking at people a few more times, his eyes kept wandering around the pier, he knew that Mr. Ji must be nearby, so he didn't panic at all .

The vendors around and others obviously had an attitude of doing more than doing less, guessing that the two scholars must have offended some powerful people, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Zhuangyuandu.

After searching the two bookcases and searching the body, no murder weapon was found. A servant handed over two parts of the official document to the third young master, who opened it and looked at it and asked the two of them.

"Who is Yin Zhaoxian?"

"I am!"

After Yin Zhaoxian responded, the three young masters looked up and down at him with great interest.

"It's Jizhou Jieyuan? Interesting... let them go!"

Hearing this, the servant let go of the hands that locked the two of them. The first thing the two scholars did was to rub their arms quickly, and the second thing was to put down the bookcase to pick up the books that had just been thrown to the ground.

The third son glanced at some books with strange titles on the ground, and squatted down together curiously.

"What famous book is this? I haven't seen it before!"

Yin Zhaoxian saw what he was pointing at and answered:

""On the Birds" and "Yizhiyi" are my humble works, not some famous books."

The three young masters picked up a book directly from the ground, and on the cover was written "Theory of Birds-Tong Sheng's Answer" in beautiful calligraphy, and then looked at the other three books which were "On the Birds-Traveling at Night", "Theory of Birds "On-Weak Crown Books" and "On the Birds-Fengming Wutong" still seem to be a series.

Flipping through a few pages of the book in hand, the first impression is that the handwriting is clear and exquisite, and then reading the content is very novel and interesting.

"Yin Jieyuan from Jizhou, how about selling these books to me?"

The third son spoke to Yin Zhaoxian very seriously, and the latter and Shi Yusheng were taken aback for a moment.

"Uh... how much copper do you plan to pay?"

Yin Zhaoxian can write a few more copies of this book by himself at any time, and now the two of them happen to be struggling with each other, so it would be good if they could be sold.

The third young master hooked his hands at the servant, and the latter immediately took out two ingots of silver taels from his purse. Judging by the size, each ingot should hold at least four or five taels.

"Are these enough?"

"These are too many..."

"Enough is enough, enough is enough!"

Before Yin Zhaoxian finished speaking, Shi Yusheng rushed to answer. The man smiled, took the silver from the servant and put it on Yin Zhaoxian's bookcase, and then reached out to him. " and a volume of "Which Knowing the Righteousness" to the other party.

When those people left on the wrong side, Yin Zhaoxian and Shi Yusheng still had a sense of unreality. These few books were actually sold for ten taels of silver, and the winter in the capital would be easy.

Ji Yuan stood in the crowd like other people watching from a distance, but the others dispersed when they saw that the conflict hadn't arisen, but he kept looking at the direction in which the prince left.

At the moment when the "Three Young Masters" took over Yin Fuzi's handwritten book, the crape myrtle breath above his head was slightly churning, although the change was not obvious, it was particularly powerful.
