Chapter 34: Gaozhou Mansion

Gaozhou Mansion is located in the largest city in western Guangdong.

Although it is located in the remote western part of Guangdong, due to the large jurisdiction, the largest number of people, and the geographical location is in a strategic area, Gaozhou Mansion has become the first of the four prefectures in western Guangdong (Gao, Lei, Lian, and Qiong).

It has jurisdiction over Maoming County, Dianbai County, Xinyi County and Huazhou. Among them, Huazhou is a subordinate state, and its chief official is Zhizhou, which commands Wuchuan and Shicheng counties, so there are five counties in one state under the jurisdiction of Gaozhou Prefecture.

It is worth mentioning that Maoming County is the only prefecture and county, which is located in the city of Gaozhou, and the origin of its name is quite rare, and it actually originates from a Taoist priest who is "Pan Maoming".

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest named Pan Maoming in the area of Gaozhou today, he learned Yi Ming's poems, cured diseases and saved people, and then became immortals, and drove a stone boat to fly to the immortal in the West Mountain.

Later, in order to commemorate this immortal, people called the place where he had been active Maoming, which is the origin of Maoming County.

At sunset, the city of Gaozhou is far away.

This ancient city stands majestically, and the south gate is like an open tiger's mouth, swallowing pedestrians and vehicles from afar. It's just that the people who queued up to enter the city did not have fear on their faces, but more with a sense of anticipation.

Lin Haoran did not stay in the car, but sat in the front of the car, shaking his legs and looking at this thousand-year-old city.

The carriage entered the inside, and a straight blue brick avenue stretched ahead, and there was no end in sight. The streets are lined with rows of shops on the street, filled with an antique atmosphere, and everything is like a picture scroll.

The sound of human voices, horse sounds, gong sounds, fragrant flowers, wine and vinegar!

When the horse-drawn carriage arrives in the bustling area of the street, it is lively and noisy. Unlike the crowded streets of Electric White City, the streets here are wide enough for three carriages to travel.

In view of the tragic lesson of not being able to find a place to live in Shicheng County last time, Lin Haoran directly found an inn to settle down this time. It's just that he is completely overwhelmed, and in this city, the most important thing is the inn.

There is still a period of time before the start of the government test, and Lin Haoran plans to use this time to practice calligraphy, and to familiarize himself with this city and understand this era full of business opportunities.

"The head of the Shicheng case, that's just a general among the dwarves - the best of the short!"

Just as he was about to walk back to his room with his baggage after checking in, he heard a scholar speak loudly in the lobby.

Lin Haoran turned his head and glanced at the scholar, and suddenly he was in a trance, because this person's appearance was very similar to that Su Guozhi, especially the black mole under his chin was simply carved out of a mold.

"He is Zheng Guozhi's cousin, and he is the head of this Maoming County!" Jiang Ronghua followed his gaze and said with a smile.

Lin Haoran shrugged his shoulders, pretended not to hear, and went back to the room directly. This person is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, which celebrity in his previous life was not sprayed, and the result is not a good life.

Just as I returned to the room to put down my baggage, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that Gu Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng both lived in this restaurant, and when Gu Qingfeng learned that Lin Haoran had arrived, he pulled Zhao Dongcheng over.

"It's too much of a deception! It's so deceitful! ”

Gu Qingfeng was still dressed as a rich son, but when he entered the door, he gritted his teeth angrily.

It was not only Lin Haoran who was attacked, but also Gu Qingfeng and the others who were looked down upon, and they were all regarded as short. And as a high-minded and arrogant man, how can he bear it.

Lin Haoran poured tea for the two of them, and instead persuaded Gu Qingfeng, who was huffing: "You drink tea to dissipate your anger!" What's the point of competing with those senseless people! ”

For this level of attack, he really sees it very openly, after all, the mouth grows on someone else, and you can't block it. It's better to live yourself, this is the best blow to the enemy.

"Brother Lin, I'm ......" Gu Qingfeng took a sip of the teacup, but looked at him but stopped talking.

Lin Haoran glanced at him, and knew that this thing was in such a hurry to find him, it was definitely not as simple as reminiscing, so he sat down and looked at him and said, "If you have anything, just say it!" ”

"Don't you know how to compose poetry?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes lit up slightly, and at the same time, he took out a piece of paper from his body.

"And then?" Lin Haoran picked up the teacup and asked without moving.

Gu Qingfeng had a smile on his face, looked at him with satisfaction and asked with concern: "If someone asks about the bamboo poem you wrote during the county exam, what should you do?" ”

"Tell me the truth!" Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and said naturally.

"No!" Gu Qingfeng shook his head violently, then handed him the paper in his hand and said: "This is a good work I got when my poetry was booming recently, if you take it, just say that it was made by you in the county test that day!" ”

Lin Haoran took the poem, and looked for it, but saw that the handwriting of this product was not bad.

A foot of green by the river,

Birds and beasts take their habitat.

If there are stones,

It's fluttering.

……

Gu Qingfeng took out a paper fan and recited proudly while shaking it.

Lin Haoran looked at the poem that was really the same as what he recited, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and he looked up at Gu Qingfeng's proud appearance, and really didn't understand where his smug energy came from.

I don't know that I dare to love this product, and like Su Guozhi, it turned out to be a straw bag. It's just that this product is out of good intentions after all, and the poem is indeed higher than that Su Guozhi.

"If you pass the county exam, your father will probably get eight hundred taels if he doesn't have a thousand!" He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Lin, I'm doing my best to help you!" Gu Qingfeng looked at him and said leisurely.

"Then it's better to discount it to me, I need help the most now!" Lin Haoran returned the poem to him, but he was really powerless to complain.

"Brother Lin, don't you think I don't know anything, the hand you played in half the restaurant really made me admire!" Gu Qingfeng put away the paper fan and saluted him seriously.

There are no impermeable walls!

Gu Qingfeng's family used to run a rice business, and he has always been concerned about the shopping mall in Shicheng County. Half of the restaurant is just a snap of a finger from closing to thriving, which will naturally attract some people's attention.

After getting to know it, the more I knew, the more I felt that Lin Haoran was amazing.

After Gu Qingfeng saluted, Zhao Dongcheng on the side also said: "My father also admires you very much, and said that I want to learn more from you!" ”

Zhao Dongcheng's family is actually not weak, he is in the cloth business, and he has stores in four prefectures in western Guangdong, and his family background is only stronger than Gu Qingfeng, and he is also a living rich second generation.

"Haha...... It's easy to say, so which of you will be the east tonight? Lin Haoran arched his hand like a spring breeze, just looked at the two of them and smiled.

"......" Zhao Dongcheng.

"......" Gu Qingfeng.
