She County is 120 miles in radius and Jixi is 20 miles in radius. At first, Jixi was only Huayang Town, She County, and it was separated and established a county in the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, the population and land area between the two places are very different. Huizhou is eight mountains, one river and one part of the land. Even in such a large place, the number of farmland is really not very good, let alone the small Jixi. Therefore, compared with the other five counties, many of the people who go out to Jixi have more business, and the land prices are quite cheap. Most Hui merchants who came from here are unwilling to buy land and buy property locally, and many even moved out and settled their homes in other fertile and rich places in Jiangnan.

However, when it comes to Longchuan, which has not many acres of good land, everyone knows it in Jixi. On the way to Longchuan, Wang Fulin dressed up in men's clothes and knew Xiaobei, who knew the way. Of course, he didn't have to ask for directions, but he happened to meet a group of scholars on the same road, and he actually knew these three people, namely the three private sacrificers he and Xiaobei saw through the crack in the door in the main hall of the West Garden!

The three of them walked in front of him and asked Longchuan Village halfway. Several villagers immediately enthusiastically guided the way, which mountain to cross, which bridge to walk, how many miles to reach, and how many details of the explanation. However, when one of the older ones of the three asked more questions, Mr. Hu Meilin's ancestral home was there, the villagers who guided the way were a little unnatural.

"It's...but, the second master of the Hu family is hard to talk to. I'm afraid you can only take a look outside at most."

"After this provincial examination, we were entrusted by colleagues from other prefectures and counties in the southeast. Because Mr. Meilin's fifth anniversary was approaching, we went to Longchuan to visit Mr. Meilin's family. I thought the Hu family would not be so unreasonable."

The villagers said this, and the three scholars didn't care too much about it. They all rode horses and were quite skilled in horse racing. As Wang Fulin, who also learned to ride horses for a while, he also agreed with this kind of travel without human power. Although Xu Xiake's travel notes sound fascinating, considering that someone ignored the suffering of the people and relied on a note by an official. He recruited the civil servants to carry him through famous mountains and rivers for free, and asked the county along the way to provide supplies. This kind of action that travels around the world without strengthening the body and exhausts the people's strength. It is really not worthy of praise.

So, he pretended to have accidentally heard the three people coming next to him, and went up to chat with them.

As a result, one of the three people actually had the same surname as him. However, it was Wang Yingjiao, a native of Wuyuan, who is now an imperial examination. Because he felt that he had little hope of taking the imperial examination immediately, he was ill and refused to go to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination next year. According to him, this was learned from Cheng Kui, a native of She County. However, what made Wang Fulin even more amused was that after talking about Cheng Kui, he said indignantly: "Cheng Shulin admired Wang Fulin too much. It was just a young scholar who had just passed the Taoist examination this year and was lucky enough to be the first to be the first to be the first. He kept saying that Wang Fulin was above him, and where was the juren who fought hard from the provincial examination hall? I thought that Brother Zhou and I happened to be in another place and did not attend the hero banquet, otherwise we would have met him!"

This guy with the same surname seems to have some opinions about him!

Wang Fulin touched his chin, but was not angry at all. As a juren, he naturally had arrogance. I think that Master Li was like this at the time? What surprised him was that among the two people who were walking with Wang Yingjiao on the side, Zhou Wen, who also came from Wuyuan, actually refuted Wang Yingjiao's words: "What Cheng Shulin said is not completely unreasonable. In terms of study and knowledge, Wang Fulin may be almost at a loss, but the difficulties he has overcome in the past few months are on you and me. If you are both scholars, can you have a solution? Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Didn't we just decide to postpone the imperial examination just because we planned to temper ourselves again?"

Wang Yingjiao was obviously dissatisfied with his friend's helping others, so he glared at him angrily, and the two of them started arguing. At this time, Cheng Renqing, the thinnest and oldest among the three, but only a student, persuaded him to make peace, "Okay, okay, don't argue, there are others here! If Brother Wang is not convinced, you can go to the Wang family in the back street of Chengzhong County, She County tomorrow to ask for a lecture. The papers for the exam in the year are still posted outside the prefecture school, and all the four questions have been completed quite well."

"That's not as hard as the three nine-day hard work of our provincial examinations!" Wang Yingjiao made a hard sentence, but when he saw Wang Fulin and Xiaobei in men's clothing, he found that he had forgotten the outsider, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly asked with a forced smile, "This virtuous accent seems to be from She County?"

People almost started arguing because of themselves. Wang Fulin didn't want to throw a bomb in front of them. His eyes turned and he spoke nonsense, "I am from Xixinan, Xiashe County. It's a coincidence that he happened to have the same surname as Brother Wang, and he is in Xiashe... North."

Xiaobei saw the three of them fighting hard because of Wang Fulin, and was watching the fun next to him. When she heard Wang Fulin's nonsense, she couldn't help but feel angry and funny. But when she heard the last sentence, she was choked with saliva in misery. She lay on the horse's back and coughed in a dark place. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Wang Fulin looking at her with innocent eyes and making a gesture that she couldn't help. She almost didn't get angry! She didn't understand why Wang Fulin was making a name wrong, and she actually wanted to take her name to make trouble!

"It turns out to be Brother Wang." Wang Yingjiao didn't know that Xiaobei was cursing secretly, and he thought it was someone who was careless. He bowed to Wang Fulin, and he didn't even realize that most Xixinan was surnamed Wu, while Songmingshan, separated by a river, was mostly surnamed Wang. When Wang Fulin returned the tribute, he looked at Xiaobei again, "Why dare you ask this brother is..."

Xiaobei was reluctant to speak so as not to reveal flaws, but at this moment she obviously couldn't avoid it. She secretly complained that Wang Fulin was troublesome and could only deliberately suppress her throat and said, "My surname is Hu, Hu Jiamu."

She just made a name for herself according to Wang Fulin's naming method, but she never thought that as soon as she finished speaking, she said good. However, it was the nerdy Wang Yingjiao who was a bit nerdy and praised: "The word Jiamu shows Lingzun's painstaking efforts when he was naming that year! Although there is no tree to form a forest, Jiamu is the pillar of the country..."

This time, before he finished speaking, he found that this person had actually touched Xiaobei's father. Wang Fulin had to interrupt: "Brother Wang, it's not too early, and this Longchuan Village is not close. If you don't rush, you may not have time to go!"

His companions obviously couldn't stand Wang Yingjiao's long-windedness and said, "Yes, it's important to hurry up now. If you have anything to say when you arrive in Longchuan Village!"

Wang Fulin glanced at Xiaobei. Seeing that her face was a little darker, she was not angry, and she felt relieved. Although the next journey was just a small horse, the road was far away from Songming Mountain to Huizhou Prefecture City. Therefore, when he rode a horse for the first time, he naturally felt soreness in his back. Even at noon, everyone stopped, ate a meal of dry food for lunch, and continued to rush. When he arrived in Longchuan Village, it was already evening, and smoke was curling around the cooking fires, and the sky to the west was full of bright red sunsets. Among the three, Wang Yingjiao, the most scholarly person, was very excited and recited a poem, which made Wang Fulin very glad to have a pseudonym.

Otherwise, what if someone delays himself and asks to do poetry and sing?

Although the sun sets at this time, it is definitely not the time to worship guests, Wang Yingjiao kept saying that he had to follow the ancient style and just pay his best wishes to visit guests. Wang Fulin, who had known that the Hu family was not easy to enter, followed Xiaobei. When he came to the door of the pretty mansion, Xiaobei instinctively hid in the shadow behind Wang Fulin, and the three people in the front could not wait to knock on the door. Soon, a gap was vaguely opened, and Wang Yingjiao, who had tidied up his clothes, said: "We are from Wuyuan, and the two behind are from She County. Today we are here to meet Mr. Meilin's remaining subordinate Mr. Hu Er."

Wang Fulin only looked at the guy Yingmen inside the door with his expression as if he was looking at a fool, and knew that Wang Yingjiao had definitely kicked the iron plate. Sure enough, the doorman looked at the others up and down, and then said hard: "My master is in poor health. He will not be a guest."

If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely retreat at this moment, but Wang Yingjiao was absolutely stubborn. He subconsciously held the door tightly and then shouted loudly: "Mr. Hu has the merits of Jinghai, but he committed suicide with humiliation. Now the fifth anniversary of his death is approaching. We are entrusted by someone to come to see the second master to discuss this matter. If the second master has a little filial piety, how can he keep us out of the door?"

Wang Fulin was shocked. Wang Yingjiao was too good at being a human being. Even if he really accepted someone else's request after the provincial examination, he had to speak softly and softly. He was so tactful, how could he be so simple and rough? Seeing the two doors slammed in front of Wang Yingjiao, almost touching the crowd with a condescendant. The two companions didn't even say a word, he couldn't help but glance at Xiaobei next to him. Sure enough, even the little girl who had always played by the rules showed an expression of unbearable sight at this time, obviously thinking that Wang Yingjiao deserved it.

People have already put on such a clear attitude. Even if Wang Yingjiao wants to fight for it again, his two companions have long regretted it. They can't make him willful. They quickly put his arm on one side and dragged the person away. When they left the Hu family's mansion, they looked at the sky that was completely dark now, and then looked at Wang Fulin and Xiaobei behind. The oldest Cheng Renqing came forward with some embarrassment to apologize for Wang Yingjiao, and then said: "Now the Hu family is rejected, why don't we rush back to Huayang Town to spend the night?"

This time, Xiaobei, who has been here more than once, said unhappy: "There are at least twenty miles to go back to Huayang here."

"Then stay in the private houses in the village."

Zhou Wen, the most calm among the three, made a decision, and Wang Fulin did not express any objection. He still did not volunteer to stand up, but followed Xiaobei after the three. He transferred several stores, but the house was small, or he did not dare to allow strangers to refuse. Xiaobei couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Hey, why did you agree to them? I've just said before that there is a land temple behind the village that can live in people. What if the house is narrow? I don't want to live with them!"

"Don't forget that you're pretending to be your first time here." Wang Fulin reminded him angrily, and then whispered, "This is the one who is enthusiastic about your father's death day. Of course, you must observe carefully."

After seven or eight families, Zhou Wen succeeded in staying at home. What’s even more gratifying is that the other party’s surname is Hu. Although he had already had five robes with Hu Zongxian, he was probably a relative of the clan and a wealthy family in Longchuan Village. I heard that everyone was a scholar and came for Hu Zongxian’s death day. Not only did he borrow a house, but he also had a guest room for each person!
