Chapter 94 The Scholar and the Flower Demon 8
Because he had arrived at the county town now, Du Juan and Xiao Tan's appearance were not eye-catching, so Yan Lang asked Xiao Tan to turn into a human form and board the boat with them.
Xiao Tan was still very happy to be able to go shopping and play as openly as an individual. In addition to a demon with a profound Taoist trait last night, Xiao Tan realized that his cultivation had improved a lot. Now even if he was exposed to the sun for a whole day, it would be fine. When he went to bed at night, he would not be a problem to go back to the flowerpot and bury himself in the soil to rest.
With an old man like Du Juan, many of Xiao Tan's questions were answered. Yan Lang felt happy when he saw Xiao Tan's happy spirit, and then felt a little ashamed. He didn't have much money in his pocket. If he had money, he could buy whatever Xiao Tan wanted.
Now that he knows that he doesn't have much money, Xiao Tan looks at many things when he sees them. He is very well-behaved and considerate and does not say he wants it. Even if Du Juan wants to buy it for her, she smiled and refused to agree.
On the way to the west ferry of the city, Yan Lang took Xiao Tan to choose the flower-filled soil she liked. Rhododendron bought a large bag of food and a lot of ingredients. Now, with the simple kitchenware that Lin Song brought out, when they arrived on the boat, they could cook by themselves by borrowing a fire from others.
When the group arrived at the dock, the sun in the sky had just revealed a little light arc, but the dock was already busy. Large and small boats were docked around the pier, and there were men who were loading and loading goods shirtless and were sweating all over.
Du Juan went to inquire and found that there was indeed a passenger ship passing by in the morning, but the message was not developed now, and ordinary people didn't know what the ship had only encountered and wasted the time.
If you want to take a boat, you can only wait.
Yan Lang and his friends found a place with a wide view and not far from the main trestle. They put down their luggage and packed up and sat down slowly. Yan Lang looked at the wider Lanjiang not far away and whispered to Xiao Tan to read more than a dozen poems about the river.
Lin Song won’t say it anymore. Even Xiao Tan thought that scholars were very powerful. They were obviously an ordinary thing, but they could find the characteristics of that thing from different angles and share it with others through poetry and chanting.
"Scholar, can you write your own poem?"
Xiao Tan asked curiously that scholars have been reading other people's poems during this period.
As soon as these words were said, Yan Lang's face turned red, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Tan, and then whispered, "I'll read it to you after getting on the boat."
He actually wrote a poem and wrote a poem for Xiao Tan, but writing a poem for a certain girl is like expressing her feelings. How can such shameful things be described in public in the blue sky and the sun?
Xiao Tan was unclear, but what the scholar said made sense, so Xiao Tan nodded obediently.
"Brother Liang Jin? Oh, Brother Liang Jin, I didn't expect you and I to meet here!"
Yan Lang was asked about writing poetry by Xiao Tan, and he couldn't help but savor the poem he had made over and over again, thinking about every word, hoping to do the best.
But suddenly he heard someone calling him. Yan Lang turned his head and saw a man wearing a white Confucian uniform on the outside and a book boy walking over happily. He had a headache. He subconsciously stood up and blocked Xiao Tan, and bowed his hand seriously, "Brother Ziyan."
Liangjin is Yan Lang's name, and was chosen by the teacher who helped Yan Langliang in Chongyang County.
A good person has a generous and kind nature, and has a good meaning.
Jin is synonymous with Yan Lang's word "Lang" and is jade, which means good jade and beautiful jade.
The man didn't care about Yan Lang's coldness, smiled with a look of gratitude, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry to see you, let me meet Brother Liang Jin at this moment. It's not to be hiding. I just arrived at the county town last night, but I was accidentally thief. All my belongings were stolen by the hateful thief. Fortunately, I met Brother Liang Jin and finally saved."
As he was talking, the man turned his head to see the three people behind Yan Lang. When he saw Du Juan and Xiao Tanshi, his eyes lit up and laughed, "Brother Liang Jin, I didn't expect you to have beautiful people..."
Yan Lang's face darkened and he raised his hand to block it, "Brother Zi Yan, the old saying goes, "If his virtue is weak, his ambition is light. Brother Zi Yan should not be careless but his ambition is weak, and his speech is casual."
It is said that he is not arrogant and moral, but his frivolous words are also because of his nature. Huo Ziyan's originally smiling face can't help but froze, and then he becomes secretly angry.
Yan Liangjin usually acts like a kind-hearted and kind person, and he always preaches to others, really treating himself as an amazing person?
Speaking of which, the man named Huo Gao, Ziyan, is not very familiar with Yan Lang. He was invited by the prefect to have a banquet at the chrysanthemum garden by the Zhuangyuan Bridge. At that time, Huo Gao and Yan Lang were next to each other.
Huo Gao was born in a farmer's family. Although Yan Lang himself was not from a wealthy family, and there were no peasant children among his classmates and friends, Yan Lang looked down on people with character like Huo Gao.
As for the "preaching" that always made Huo Gao hold a grudge, Yan Lang just saw that he called his uncle like a servant of the book boy, and couldn't see it, so he tactfully persuaded him.
At that time, Huo Gao's face was not very good-looking, but he also looked like he was taught. Yan Lang didn't know that he had a grudge against him because of this.
Last year's autumn examination, Huo Gao barely made the secondary list and could continue the exam. He tried to make it to the official list and become a juren and then go to Beijing to take the exam. However, he didn't expect that the other party would take such a risk and chose this one-time exam opportunity, and his dress was so elegant.
Although wide-clothing and belting are a trend of literati, scholars nowadays usually wear long robes, with not much wide sleeves, and belts around their waists. If you pay more attention to the outside, you will wear a robe.
In order to rush forward, Yan Lang only wore the simplest long gown, even the scholar's hat was packed in the bookcase, and only used a square veal to wrap his hair.
Yan Lang glanced at Huo Gao's middle-aged man with a bookcase on his back, carrying two big bags, looking vicissitudes and tired. If he didn't say it, who would know that this man was Huo Gao's uncle and a legitimate elder.
Without waiting for more to say anything, Yan Lang continued, "Since Brother Ziyan's property is lost, it's better to go to the prefect for help. In the family is poor, there is no way to help with each other."
Du Juan saw Yan Lang's attitude, so he naturally understood that he didn't need to treat Huo Gao as Yan Lang's serious classmate, so he turned his head and continued to talk to Xiao Tan to pass the time.
Lin Song looked at the middle-aged man following Huo Gao curiously for a few more times. Thinking about his situation, he suddenly felt very grateful. Fortunately, he met a kind-hearted person like the master. Even if he wanted to help carry a bookcase, the master was unwilling to do so at first, saying that he was too young to suppress him.
It was Lin Song who showed his natural ability to be strong, and then the master gave him the bookcase to carry it.
After Yan Lang said frankly, he was reluctant to say anything to Huo Gao. As for the other party's words, money was lost, Yan Lang didn't believe it. If he really lost it, could Huo Gao have such a demeanor to greet him, a person who was not familiar with him?
Seeing that Yan Lang was so disrespectful, Huo Gao finally couldn't hold back his face. He originally wanted to turn against him and scold him, but thinking of Yan Lang's talent, maybe this time he went to Beijing to take the exam and would be lucky enough to be on the gold list. Huo Gao could only bear the anger and smiled reluctantly, "Since that's the case, then I'd better go find other friends."
After saying that, he bowed his hand and then turned around and left with a graceful manner.
The middle-aged man glanced at Yan Lang timidly, and then he chased him with something on his back, "Fugui..."
"Shut up! What a wealthy person! Call me Master!"
I don’t know how many times I have taught this useless thing, but I still can’t remember it. That head will only think about farming like this for the rest of my life, and it will be of no use after it comes out!
The middle-aged man showed a bitter face and compromised, "Master, aren't we enough money? Aren't we taking a boat here to Beijing?"
This nephew didn't know what he was thinking, how could he extort his classmates' money like a rascal?
In the minds of middle-aged men, that young master Yan is a person who studies hard. His nephew is more aware. Since he went out, he has never touched the books in the book box much, so how could he look like he was a top scorer in the exam?
As soon as Huo Gao and the others left, Du Juan asked who it was with a smile. Yan Lang shook his head and sighed, saying that he was the one who had attended the banquet of the prefect together. Speaking of which, it was the same year.
But Xiao Tan wrinkled his nose, "Why did he scream at his elders?"
Isn’t it said that scholars value the order of the elders and the young?
Xiao Tan can tell that the two are related to blood. If they look at their age, they will naturally know that it is the relationship between elders and younger generations.
Du Juan heard this and snorted, and she understood what Yan Lang hadn't said.
For Yan Lang and the others, this incident was just a small episode, but they didn't expect that as noon approached, they finally got on the passenger ship. After lunch on the ship, they met Huo Gao and his uncle on the ship. There were two more maids and women serving them. This was a rare thing.
If you have received the "help" of wealthy businessmen and get married, you should take a private boat to head north directly at the east ferry of the city. Why do you have to suffer and take such an ordinary passenger ship?
If I hadn't been helped, why would I leave for a long time and come back, I would have such a lady wearing a veil and looking like a rich man?
Yan Lang just had lunch and walked out on the deck with Xiao Tan. Unexpectedly, he just looked up and saw Huo Gao and others looking out from the railing on the second floor.
Yan Lang and his friends are on the deck floor. The second floor are all rooms with better conditions. Yan Lang is not very busy, and Du Juan doesn’t have much money. Naturally, what the group of four people wants is a narrow room with no windows like a coffin.
There were two people, Yan Lang and Lin Song and Du Juan and Xiao Tanyi.
Huo Gao obviously saw Yan Lang, and suddenly felt happy. He couldn't help but feel proud. Huo Gao raised his hand and pointed to the deck downstairs and said to Miss Mei beside him, "Si Niang, you see, but I didn't expect that I met another person who was the same year here. I saw him when I was desperate in the morning and wanted to ask him for help, but I didn't expect that his humiliation in the morning was also because of the lack of money. He was wrongly blamed Brother Liang Jin."
Because Huo Gao was on the second floor, the people he hated could only nestle in the "coffin room" downstairs like bed bugs. He felt very satisfied and his true nature was revealed in his words.
Mei Siniang, who had always ignored him, frowned in disgust, and looked at the other person's hand casually, but at the next moment, her eyes flashed and her eyes fell on the white-faced scholar's face and could no longer move away.
The author has something to say: Du Juan: No wonder the master said that the scholar's face was gray and peachy, it was really troublesome
Xiao Tan: Wow, I know that the scholar is a big treasure! [It can attract a lot of things that can help her accumulate merits!
Yan Lang:...【Blushing
Second is a little later, it's Kaven
