Above the river, a two-story ship was flowing downstream, passing lightly on the water. This waterway was originally the only way for officials entering Shu to go out of Shu to take office in Shannan, Huainan, Jiangnan, and Jiangnan. In addition, merchants traveling to Shu often used this golden waterway to transport silk brocade to Shu, so over time, there were many passenger and cargo ships specializing in water transportation.

Jiang Fu, the owner of this second-level passenger ship, was 45 years old this year, and has been on the water for twenty years. He is already familiar with the activities of sending off and has dealt with many officials at all levels. Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the guests who were chartering a boat in Yuzhou to board the boat in Jiangling at first, but after passing Fuling, he gradually tasted a little.

Although among the guests in this group, the four young men, as the host, were not old, and the oldest one was only in their early thirties and were dressed in a simple and casual manner, three of them spoke with authentic Guanzhong accents, and all the servants and servants were well-trained. From the time they boarded the boat to now, they had secretly investigated each cabin, and even the miscellaneous people had talked to each other. Even Jiang Fu had always done a water business in a regular manner, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed after he noticed it. But when he found the guest's cabin and wanted to question him, he was politely invited by a strong servant and offered him a piece of money.

The deposit was collected when the ship was opened, and Jiang Fu also looked at the luggage of the group quietly. The weight looked light and not like carrying a valuable treasure or a cash silk brocade. Instead, it was like a scholar in Shu who could often be seen. But at this moment, two thousand coins were held in his hand as if nothing had happened. He was a little confused about his previous judgment.

These people can't see the heavy stuff.

"What does Chilang mean?"

Seeing that the owner of the ship Jiang Fu showed hesitation, Chibi smiled and said, "I'm not hiding the owner of the ship, the men on the ship don't like to roam the market, so he booked your boat with his friends to Jiangling to enjoy. They are not ordinary scholars. Lu Langjun is the son of Lu Envoy Lu, Yazhou, and the rest are his friends. Therefore, since we were ordered by Lu Envoy Lu to protect the eastward journey, we naturally dare not do our best. If there were any offenses on the ship before, please forgive me.

It turns out to be an official family

Jiang Fu suddenly realized that because of this explanation and the two pounds of money, the irritation in his heart naturally disappeared. His passenger ship was booked by merchants most of the time, and the officials he had transported were county magistrates, and at most two people who joined the army, such noble people as the relatives of a governor, had never boarded the boat. Therefore, when he was holding the heavy money weighing more than ten pounds, he returned to the cabin in front of him in a daze. He had been in a state of mind for a long time, and then he realized that everyone from the helmsman who was driving the boat to the others, everyone was staring at him, and he immediately understood.

"Don't just know money. You must be careful with me and cheer up your spirits. I just asked, this time I was the son of Governor Lu, Yazhou."

When they heard that they were children of officials, everyone on the boat was naturally amazed, but they felt relieved. So, after Jiang Fu gave them the usual rewards, some people naturally hoped to get a little more, and often tried every means to get in front of others. However, those followers were kept tightly, and most of them returned home in vain without even seeing them. For a moment, I don’t know who said that the Lu family of Fanyang was one of the five surnames and seven hopes. This topic was suddenly out of bounds, and their yearning for these famous families was even more admirable.

However, the Lu Langjun, who should have been obsessed by the stars in the cabin, was now in the cabin, responding to Pei Ning's question with a bitter face. Lu Qi praised the knowledge of Lu Hong, the younger brother. In addition, he often got along with Pei Ning and Du Shiyi in the past few days. He knew that although Pei Ning was only a clear-cut classic, his foundation in classics and history was not inferior, and he had to ask Pei Ning to teach Lu Cong more on the road. In this way, Lu Cong deeply understood how powerful the famous censor of the Lu family's Caotang was.

"When I arrived in Jiangling, Lu Silang didn't know if he would have a psychological shadow on his third senior brother."

Du Shiyi turned back to the cabin behind him without any mercy and said this with some gloating words. Before, because Du Shiyi was so playful, he secretly peeped with him with Wang Rong, who was a man of Pei Ningxun. At this moment, he smiled playfully and said, "Have you ever been scolded like this by the third senior brother when you were in the cottage?"

"I was a hard-working student who could not even find a lantern at that time. How could the third senior brother teach me?" Du Shiyi straightened his chest seriously and said with a smile. "However, Cui Shiyi often crams temporarily. Every month of the exam, he was frowning and anxious. He had to let the senior brother who lived in the same room give him a small meal. As for the number of times he received the third senior brother's scolding, he was probably one of the best among the Caotang brothers."

Wang Rong was not very familiar with Cui Jianxuan, but he knew what kind of personality Du Shiyi's brother-in-law was. At this moment, as he heard Du Shiyi talk, he said jokingly, as if he was showing off all the diligence in studying in Caotang. She listened seriously. When she heard Du Shiyi regards copying books as one of the daily essential lessons, she couldn't help but think of the famous Du Family Bookstore in Chang'an City, and sighed in her heart.

If you weren't so diligent and hardworking, how could you be reborn in just a few years?

"You also missed one thing. It was because you were really reading and copying books and so much forgot to eat and sleep. Master Lu was worried that I asked me to teach you the Pipa. I didn't expect that you were good at studying but had better talent in music theory. For a moment, it was because of this name that made you famous in the two capitals."

With this, Pei Ning appeared behind the two of them. Du Shiyi didn't expect that Pei Ning had finished coaching Lu Cong and came out quickly. Pei Ning seemed to know what he was thinking, and her face remained motionless. She said slowly: "Lu Silang is racking his brains to write the trial essay I assigned. His father hoped that he would pass the imperial examination, so now he has to put some effort into it now. The 350-word essay essay is enough for him to last a whole day for his qualifications."

This is really a devil teacher

Du Shiyi remembered the way that Caotang brothers were tossed by Pei Ning, and couldn't help but shiver. Just as she was about to quickly change the dangerous topic, Pei Ning said to Wang Rong again: "Yu Yao might have heard from the younger brother about many other people's past events just now, are you interested in listening to him?"

Unexpectedly, when Pei Ning suddenly said this, Du Shiyi was stunned at first, and then was shocked. You know, he was in the same room as Cui Jianxuan and Lu Wangzhi, but he had been teased by this senior brother who did not follow the rules. Even Lu Hong, sometimes he would talk about young men and make them like these disciples who entered the house. However, Pei Ning did not involve such a long-lasting thing that could make people laugh. Instead, he talked about the debate and poetry clubs in the cottage. When everyone argued for the whole night, Pei Ning's face showed a hint of year-round.

"The desire to learn without any interest is just for those years."

Confucius' seventy-two disciples were studying in the world, and there were always endless scholars to seek scholars. After him, there were often wise men who followed this move. However, over the years, there were very few who could really give up the emperor's pursuit and stay in the countryside to teach and educate people. Lu Hong was able to give up the post of Zuo Jianyi and return to the mountain. Wang Rong admired this for no reason. Now, he couldn't help but feel fascinated. She couldn't help but hold the boat's side with both hands, looking at the green mountains on both sides of the river from afar. The green water on the river. She turned her head and found that Du Shiyi had already looked at the face of melancholy, clearly recalling the past years. She couldn't help but feel moved.

"Stern brother, since you are the enlightened teacher who teaches Du Lang's Pipa, now you are in the mountains and rivers to remember the past, may you write an impromptu song?"

After Pei Ningming passed the exam, he rose step by step because of Pei's huge connections and strength. From beginning to end, he rarely revealed to others that he was also a disciple of Lumen, and he did not have much contact with Du Shiyi on the surface. As for the same skillful pipa, he almost never showed off in front of others. At this moment, Wang Rong opened his invitation, and he raised his eyebrows and agreed. Soon, he returned to the cabin to get the pipa, and sat down casually, with his right hand touching the strings, and his tone was rapid and sad, and it gradually spread on the boat in a moment. After a burst of rushing sounds like a horse's hooves, there was another gentle and sad sound, and then the sound turned softer, and soon it was urgent and hurried, bringing out a bit of sonorous sound.

For example, Jiang Fu and the helmsman on the ship were just puzzled when he heard it. Lu Cong was thinking about the test essay, but he didn't pay attention to it at all. But when Du Shiyi, who was already ecstatic, he still vaguely remembered the sad news that suddenly came to the Caotang. If it weren't for Cui Jianxuan's grandmother, Du De, the wife of Qi Guo, and Cui Jianxuan was in great trouble, Lu Hong wouldn't have asked him to escort him back to Dongdu, let alone bid farewell to his mentor to go to Dongdu after that. After Lu Wangzhi rushed over, he also took Lu Hong's words and asked him to stay for the test.

In fact, Lu Hong had known for a long time that he was different from those scholars who were devoted to studying. He had always put all his energy into fame and fortune. Otherwise, he would not have trained him so intensively. If he had not taught so hard, he would not have been like Du Shiyi today. However, since he passed the Jinshi, he was no longer free, and could not find any opportunity to visit the teacher who loved him deeply.

Before he knew it, Du Shiyi's eyes were already wet, and his hand holding the boat's side increased its strength without realizing it. Even his fingernails pressed against the solid wood on the boat's side, and a burst of hidden pain came, which he did not notice. It was not until the sound of the pipa suddenly turned into a light and active note that he came back from that trance, but the scene of celebrating New Year's Eve on Songshan again and again appeared in front of him.

He cooked with the recipe and pointed at the fingertips. The brothers and brothers were chiseling ice to ask for fish for Lu Hong to taste fresh. Lu Hong worked tirelessly to answer questions and answer questions to the students who stayed in the cottage for the New Year, and even had extra food... All kinds of warm scenes flashed in front of him like a lantern, and finally, when Lu Wangzhi saw him the song "Fenyin Xing" he chanted when he was about to instinctively. He sang with the sound of the pipa.
