Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan Lao. The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is painted to listen to the rain. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists. If you are not old, you must return to your hometown, and you must break your intestines when you return to your hometown.

Another way is: Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

After Lin Haoran came to Hangzhou, he did not rush north to take the exam, but visited the Baoshu Pagoda, and went to the famous Zhaoqing Temple, and of course got the West Lake.

Although it is early winter, the sun is lonely, the shadows of the trees are slender, the wide West Lake is shining with brilliant waves, and the cruise ship is like a shuttle, and there is constantly laughter on the boat.

From the broken bridge to the Su Causeway, there are the most tourists, and it seems quite lively. The young woman's eyebrows are full of affection, and the dashing scholar folds the fan and sways gently, reciting poems, showing coquettishness.

Lin Haoran is like a passerby, admiring the bits and pieces of this lake. It's just that he left a little regret that he didn't raft on the West Lake, because he smelled the wine and came to a two-story restaurant.

The appearance of the restaurant is very ordinary, but when I arrived in the building, I realized why the business of this restaurant is so hot. Sitting on the elegant seat near the lake, you can enjoy the most beautiful lake and mountains outside the window.

There used to be an aristocratic hotel, and in order to cater to those distinguished guests, it did not make a fuss about the surrounding environment. Nowadays, the food is not expensive, but it has the most beautiful scenery, which makes him feel that he has earned it.

ordered a few famous dishes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he, who has never liked to drink alone, also ordered a pot of good wine.

At this moment, looking at the lake and mountains outside the window, I finally understood why Suzhou and Hangzhou are called heaven. Especially after more than two months at sea, being able to stand on land at this time and be able to sit on the edge of this West Lake and drink alcohol makes him feel a faint happiness?

It's just that he wants to "taste the food and enjoy the beautiful scenery", but he can't let him get his wish.

"Lin Jieyuan, you really make it easy for me to find!" A fat young man in a white cotton shirt walked over, with some beads of sweat remaining on his forehead, but his slightly chubby face looked excited.

"You're looking for me?" Lin Haoran looked up at this fat man who was not good-looking, and muttered in his heart.

This figure should not be too fat, but he is dressed thickly, so it gives people the feeling of a big fat man. And he knew this person, yesterday their fleet was personally greeted by Wu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and this fat man was standing behind Wu Zongxian at that time.

The fat man sat down opposite him and said solemnly, "Governor Hu asked me to tell you!" Tomorrow afternoon, at the dock outside the Wulin Gate, you can follow the official ship to the north, and he has already arranged it for you! ”

"Please thank Governor Hu for me!" Lin Haoran was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately gave up. In fact, he also knew that the person he wanted to thank was Yu Dayou, who must have been the general soldier's entrustment before leaving.

"You have made such a great contribution, this treatment is nothing!" The fat man took the wine that Xiao Er had just sent, his face suddenly sank, and he immediately said, "Qiong Hualu? This is a distinguished guest who has come to our Zhejiang for the first time, you use this wine to entertain, you are losing the face of our Zhejiang people! ”

"This guest officer chose it himself!" Although Xiao Er didn't understand what was wrong with this wine, he still looked at Lin Haoran and said aggrievedly.

"Let's have a pot of Shaoxing flower carving!" The fat man handed the wine back to Xiao Er and commanded.

"I'll change it for you!" Xiao Er glanced at Lin Haoran, and watched him take over the wine without objection.

"What's so important about this!" Lin Haoran was not familiar with the wine of this era, and he only thought the name was good, so he chose this wine.

The fat man didn't see it at all, grabbed the fennel beans on the table and said proudly while eating: "Yangzhou's Qionghualu is not spicy enough, it is more than sweet, it is not like wine at all, only our Shaoxing Huadiao is the most delicious!" ”

"Are you from Shaoxing?" Lin Haoran felt a little helpless in his heart, this product probably has a deep hometown complex, thinking why everything is the best in his hometown.

Seeing that Shaoxing Huadiao was delivered, the fat man took the wine and introduced himself: "Uh...... I am Shaoxing Xu Wei, with long words! ”

"You are Xu Wei!" Lin Haoran immediately exclaimed. But he didn't expect that the fat man in front of him who was not good-looking was Xu Wei, a famous and talented man in later generations.

"Huh...... It's far from being comparable to you, a bamboo gentleman and a blood scholar! Xu Wei's eyes lit up slightly, but he shook his head bitterly, and then continued to help him pour wine.

"I'm in vain!" Lin Haoran didn't expect him to know about himself, so he humbly bowed his hand.

"It's a real name!" Xu Wei seemed to feel something, put the wine jar aside, afraid that he would have a misunderstanding, and then added: "Compared with following the imperial examination, these are indeed false names!" ”

Xu Wei became famous at a young age, known as a prodigy, and was a talent at the age of 20, but he failed five times in the township examination.

On the other hand, Lin Haoran in front of him, while he is famous all over the world, he dismantled Gui in the first township test, which is the real winner in life. If he had a choice, he would rather not have these talents, but only be on the list.

Lin Haoran picked up his wine glass and wanted to say some compliments to the celebrity in front of him, but found that it was very inappropriate. And his current identity is really not suitable for those words, maybe it will become irony.

If Tang Bohu's road to the imperial examination is regrettable, then the cowman in front of him, who is called the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty" along with Xie Jin and Yang Shen, is even more sympathetic on the road to the imperial examination.

Tang Bohu is at least in the middle of the yuan, once in the scenery, felt the joy after the move. And what about Xu Wei? has the ability and talent to learn, but he has never been able to get the "lifting diploma".

In fact, according to his officialdom connections, especially Wu Zongxian's appreciation, even if he has a fame, he can mix well in officialdom, but it's a pity that he makes people.

It's just that he has no power to change all this, and he has no power to change the fate of others. All he can do now is to go to Beijing to take the exam, strive to get the title of the gold list, make himself strong, and protect the people he wants to protect.

The two of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, ate Jiangsu and Zhejiang food, tasted Shaoxing wine, and listened to Xu Wei knocking on the plate and drinking the tune with correct words, this is indeed a paradise.

At noon the next day, outside the Wulin Gate, nine official ships were moored at the wharf.

Xu Wei picked him up at the inn and took him directly to the dock in a carriage. He looked at the figures of the brocade guards and the eunuchs, and after a little pondering, he knew that this trip was very likely to be a fleet to escort the emperor's tribute.

As soon as he thought of what happened at sea, his heart immediately became furious, and he was worried that he would be robbed again. But after thinking about it, this time I took the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and I was afraid that no thief would dare to do this kind of thing again, so I stepped on the boat.

"Brother Wen, thank you for sending it off, but please stay here, he will see each other in the future and drink Huadiao wine together!" Lin Haoran watched Xu Wei follow him to the boat, and solemnly bowed to him.

"I'm also going to take the exam, don't you know?" Xu Wei was stunned for a long time before he said leisurely.

When Lin Haoran heard this, he immediately touched his nose in embarrassment, he knew a bird!

I suddenly found that this history was learned too well, and this nose would have to be erased sooner or later. It's just that he suddenly stopped and thought of a very serious question, if this goods go north to take the exam, then who will lobby the pirate leader Wang Zhi to persuade him to surrender?
