133, [the square length of the snail state]
The coldest time has arrived. The wind is like a knife blowing across the earth, rolling up a few decayed autumn leaves that have not been blocked by the ditches, and throwing them into some corners.
Because the location is not far from the north, the ground of Xingqing Prefecture, Yangzhou is not completely frozen. Where there are sunshine, the snow dissipates faster. In some places, the color of dry soil can be seen.
Fang Chang was still walking on the road, alone.
Not only did he not go to Yunzhong Mountain, he returned to Xianqi Cliff, and in his bamboo and wood hut, he spent the winter in the fire pit, but he did not go to Huaifeng Mansion. Even Xingqing Mansion was just looking at the city wall, and he did not go to.
After leaving the little boy who had been honest with the money, Fang Chang was going to the carriage and bought a carriage ticket to Xingqing Mansion the next morning, and then went to find an inn to stay in and have a good meal.
However, when he was still ten feet away from the carriage, his body suddenly stopped.
Fang Chang stood on the street, not far from a small stall selling wontons, motionless.
In this moment, the passers-by did not seem as unconscious as before, but instead noticed the young man in white clothes, handsome face, wrapped in blue cloth, and hung gourds and bamboo baskets on his waist from left to right. However, due to unknown circumstances, everyone subconsciously stayed away from this man.
I was touched by my own inspiration, Fang Chang smiled slightly, turned around and left, not looking for the carriage.
Although it is very comfortable to take a bus, it seems good to walk around occasionally.
He no longer concealed himself with the state of "why do you have to know each other when you meet?", but walked slowly on the street like an ordinary young master in the secular world.
Although the people who came and went around did not ignore his existence, they gradually no longer were influenced by his existence. They just thought that Fang Chang was an ordinary passerby, passing by him like a swimming fish.
then……
It took Shi Jin Ferry a few dozen miles to Xingqing Prefecture City for more than half a month.
On average, less than two miles a day.
The reason for this is that he did not let go of his speed at all, but walked slowly with steps slower than passers-by, and did not follow the official road as if he was on an outing.
During this period, I walked casually, followed the path, stopped and watched the new scenery I had never seen before.
As he feels, he will find a snow nest to lie for a day and watch the wind and clouds in the sky; he will also find a branch to sit on it for a few hours, looking down at the earth.
He traveled to villages and towns, talked to farmers, chatted with craftsmen, played with children, watched the fun of the world, and tasted the various things in the world.
He also searched for food, wine and drinks in villages and towns, or stayed at the inns, and he also went to find delicious food. Whether it was home-cooked meals at home, specialty works at restaurants and stalls, or the banquets for weddings and weddings, he went to try them with great enthusiasm.
Along the way, Fang Chang also enjoyed his joy and joy.
"A penny for entry."
The soldiers at the city gate were wearing thick jackets with two patches on them.
The warm winter sun is very precious. In the sunshine shining along the city gate, the soldiers lay lazily and did not collect money in person. They just said something to each person who entered the city and asked them to throw the copper coins into the vine basket next to them.
This is a common practice. Fang Chang saw it much. He took out a copper from his pocket and threw it in, and then went into the city with the people around him.
Xingqing Prefecture City is well planned. It was designed well when it was built and a large number of land was reserved. So over the years, the city has still maintained its original specifications.
Fang Chang entered the city gate to the west, facing the second wide street in Xingqing Prefecture.
He was not going to stay too much. If he had nothing to do, he would find a tavern to fill the gourds, then use the small amount of money left in the package to find a distinctive stall, have a good meal, then cross the city and walk east to Huaifeng Mansion.
This period of leisure and satisfaction, walking at will and letting yourself go is very beneficial to your cultivation.
In his spiritual sense, he thought that this state was just right until he returned to the cliff.
At a roadside stall, I paid for a whipped pancake with less oil and salt. The square long walked straight east along the roadside. He remembered that there should be a tavern not far from the East City Gate, where there was sorghum wine sold, which was very delicious.
There were crowds in front of them, and people gathered.
From a distance, it is not a market. After all, the market in this city has a fixed location and it is impossible to occupy the second wide street.
Such things are not common in the cold winter. Fang Chang was curious and chewed the spinning cakes over.
When I got closer, I found that it turned out to be a long queue, with men, women, young and old, and they lined up loosely. The long ears were very strong and I could hear the conversations in the team.
"Dad, can I really go to school?"
"Yes, you have asked several times. What Mr. Jian said, of course, is OK. Haven't you always envied Mr. Zhao's kid from studying? Now you can go there too."
"That's great, I really want to go to class tomorrow."
"Don't worry, we've already lined up. We'll sign up for a good name today and we'll be able to go to school after the New Year."
………
"Daughter, you have to listen to your teacher when you go to school."
"Grandpa, I can save myself, I will be good."
...
"Hey, Li's second son, are you here too?"
"Hey, it's Yang Laoqi. You brought their brothers here too? I haven't noticed you yet. I've said that this kind of good thing will never happen in my life, so of course I have to come."
"Who said no? I didn't care at all, but I met several people on the way, all of whom were talking about this. I hurried home and pulled my kid up and came."
"I have heard that the schools run by prefectures and counties around me are quite expensive. I have never heard of this style. Although it is just a professor of literacy and calculation, it is really not easy. I, Lao Li, have been blind for half my life, and I hope that my family will be strong and not be like me."
"The second son of the Li family, you don't have to sigh too much. Mr. Jian said that if this is fine in the future, he will also open night shifts to teach people like us to read."
"Haha, I heard about it, hopefully there will be."
"Uh-huh."
...
Hey, interesting.
Fang Chang was interested. It sounds like, is he signing up for school?
As for the "two Mr. Jian" they mentioned, Fang Chang knew that they should be the two brothers Jian Zhengqing and Jian Zhengchu. The two brothers are the most famous teachers in Xingqing Mansion and are very respected.
In recent years, scholars who were able to pass the imperial examinations and Jinshi in Xingqing Mansion were almost all their students, and the two brothers were considered to be everywhere.
Before, Fang Chang had contact with them because of their grandchildren being sick alone. They were two upright people, but their lives were simple and they thought they were pedantic people who abide by the rules.
As a result, they actually created such a scene, which was a bit unexpected.
This is the wonder of the world.
Fang Chang threw the last piece of spiral cake into the mouth, patted it casually, cleared off the oil stains and crushed pieces on his hands, and walked forward from the side of the team.
He wants to see what happened before.
But I saw a courtyard gate in front. On the open space, there was a four-legged square table placed on the open space. Two young men in high-end towels and moon-white clothes were sitting in front, holding a hard pen in their hands and registering on the thick book.
