Lin'an City's Zhonghe River runs through the north and south of the city. It connects to the Beiguan Water Gate in the north and connects to the Grand Canal. In the south, it leads directly to the inner imperial city where Fenghuang Mountain is located. Its direct flow is also connected to rivers such as the Middle River and the small river in the city. Along both sides of this river are wide flat areas.

The straight imperial road, from south to north, has more than ten high-end private squares such as Renhefang, Baoenfang, Baohefang, Xingqingfang, Dingminfang, Lirenfang and Jishanfang, like a string of pearls in the middle.

On both sides of the River Royal Road, there are rows of shops on both sides of the street. Every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and there are countless brothels, taverns, and restaurants, making it extremely prosperous.

The original size of Lin'an City was already quite large. It had been the largest state capital in the southeast of the Song Dynasty a long time ago, with a population of no less than one million. When the Jin people set foot on the city of Bianliang, the people of the Song Dynasty fled south one after another.

, no less than millions of people have crossed south since the Jianyan period, and the population in the south has increased dramatically. The population of Lin'an City, which was only called Hangzhou Prefecture at that time, also began to increase dramatically. Until finally the imperial court decided to set the temporary capital in

After Hangzhou was renamed Lin'an Prefecture, the southern capital of the Song Dynasty ushered in unprecedented development and population expansion. The latest official population statistics are 1.6 million, but in fact the city's population has increased in a very short period of time.

Within a short period of time, the number of people has exceeded 2 million. Looking within the city, Lin'an Prefecture is undoubtedly the largest city in the world.

It was extremely chaotic at the beginning. The population of a city suddenly doubled, which brought chaos and pressure. But it only took a few years for Lin'an City to digest it all with great tolerance. The imperial court gave

Lin'an Prefecture made a new plan, expanded the scope of the main city, placed the imperial city on Fenghuang Mountain in the south, excavated and widened the waterways in the city, reorganized the folk squares, set up dozens of large gathering areas, etc. After some actions,

, after the dust fell to the ground, Lin'an Mansion finally emerged from the chaos.

Of course, the explosion of population is not necessarily a bad thing, it has brought more opportunities and more needs. The integration of the north and the south has given rise to many unexpected things. Great integration and changes in food, clothing, language, living habits, and even behavior.

It happens in every corner of this city. In the great excitement of this integration, this ancient city glows with youthful vitality. It is so prosperous and busy every day, full of the hope and joy of nirvana and rebirth.

Fang Zian walked slowly on the long street on the east side of Zhong'an Bridge. This was a place he often visited. At first, he came here out of curiosity as a traveler and felt like a tourist, but later Fang Zian became more and more interested

After integrating into this era, he likes this place. What he likes is the prosperity and excitement here, and the attitude of everyone working hard. Whenever he is depressed, as long as he comes here for a walk, there is no reason not to live a good life.

, it’s hard to make progress because everyone here shows their passion for life.

On the wide river channel of Zhonghe River, boats filled with goods shuttled back and forth on the water. Fang Zian saw a dozen colorful dragon boats leaning against the large pier on one side of Zhongan Bridge, and suddenly remembered that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.

.Every Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boat races are held on several rivers in the city. It is a very lively scene. This year is naturally the same.

Crossing the Zhong'an Bridge and arriving at the Hexi Royal Road, there is a huge market in front of you. This is also the destination of Fang Zian's trip. Today he is going to buy some things. Tables, chairs, benches, dishes, teapots, bedding, clothes, the four treasures of the study, etc.

Find a few more craftsmen to repair your house. Your home is really in shabby condition. Come on.

Fang Zian had made a purchase list before. Since he made a fortune yesterday, Fang Zian had no reason not to improve his living conditions. There was everything in the big market in front of him, and he could buy everything.

It took a whole morning for Fang Zian to finally purchase all the things he needed to buy. The boats hired under the pier were also piled high. Fang Zian wanted to have a meal at the nearby tavern before leaving, but the boatman rushed him.

, they had to catch up with the next business, so they had to get on the boat and leave. The rivers in the city were connected by branch roads, and some were connected by artificial digging to relieve the traffic pressure caused by the large population. Large ships could not enter and exit these tributaries of the river, but

It is extremely convenient for some small boats carrying passengers and cargo. Therefore, it only took less than half an hour for the ship full of goods to dock at a small pier on the west side of Sanyuanfang. The boatman

After helping to unload the goods, Fang Zian spent 400 yuan on the dock to hire two coolies to help move the goods to Xinghua Hutong in Sanyuanfang.

When Fang Zian, sweating profusely, carried two boxes and cages back to the entrance of his small courtyard, there were two people standing there waiting for him.

"Brother Zian? You're back. Oh, please teach us to wait." One of them recognized Fang Zian, who was unkempt and sweaty.

"Why are you here? Brother Qian, Brother Zhao. Quickly, help me open the courtyard door. This thing is so heavy that it hurts my shoulders from the pressure." Fang Zian shouted loudly.

The visitors were Fang Zian's classmates from Qixia Academy, one named Qian Kang and the other Zhao Changlin. Qian and Zhao rushed forward to help, and then they moved a bunch of things into the yard with two hired coolies.

Leave it alone. Fang Zian paid the money and sent the two coolies away. Then he wiped his sweat and greeted the two classmates.

"What brought you here? Isn't there a Dragon Boat Festival holiday in the academy? Didn't you go home?" Fang Zian asked with a smile.

These two people are from the same hometown, and their families are not in Lin'an City. They are from Yuhang County, so I have this question.

"Originally I wanted to go back, but... after thinking about it, I decided not to go back. It would be better to stay in the academy and study. Besides, Brother Chang Lin is not in the mood to go back." Qian Kang said with a smile.

"That's right, Qiuwei is only a few months away. You really need to study hard and prepare for the exam. Hmm... Why is Brother Changlin so out of mood? He hasn't said a word for a long time, so why is he so sad?" Fang Zian said.

He said as he entered the house and prepared to take the things piled in the yard into the house.

With a 'pop' sound, Zhao Changlin suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Zian, reached out and slapped himself.

"I deserve to die... I was the one who harmed you, Brother Zi'an, by my talking too much. I'll beat you to death for the talkative bastard that caused Brother Zi'an to be punished like this and ruin his future. Brother Zi'an, please hit me or scold me. I deserve to die."

." Zhao Changlin slapped himself and cried loudly.

Fang Zi An was stunned and said in shock: "Brother Chang Lin, what are you doing? Why are you so crazy? Get up quickly."

Qian Kang smacked his lips at the side and said: "Brother Zian, Brother Changlin...hey...he let it slip and told Huang Wannian about your selling lyrics during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. That bitch knew about it, and he publicized it.

It was only then that Shanchang Zhou found out. Shanchang was so angry that he kicked you out of the school. Brother Changlin regretted it too much. He made a big mistake and felt really guilty and uneasy in his heart. Brother Changlin regretted himself all day yesterday.

Responsible, you found me early this morning and asked me

Accompany him and come to you to apologize. Hey! Who could have imagined that things would turn out like this."

Fang Zian was stunned for a moment, and then he understood everything.

Fang Zian has made several good friends in the academy. For example, these two are very good friends. Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin's family background is much better than that of Fang Zian. When Fang Zian first entered Qixia Academy, his life was difficult.

At that time, these two classmates helped Fang Zian from time to time and helped Fang Zian through many difficult times. Therefore, Fang Zian was grateful to them and became good friends who talked about everything. In his free time on weekdays,

We traveled together, recited poems and lyrics, talked about life ideals, planned our future, and got along very well.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Fang Zian won thirty taels of silver for selling lyrics. Although Fang Zian didn't want to make it public, he did not hide it from these two close friends. Naturally, such a good thing should be shared with good friends. Fang Zian did not want to make it public.

Zian also spent two taels of silver to treat two good friends to a fine banquet at Hongbin Tower by the West Lake to celebrate the event together.

After the Dongchuang incident happened that day, Fang Zian's first reaction was that Wanchunyuan had leaked his identity, letting the matter reach Zhou Junzheng's ears, leading to such consequences. However, when Qin Xiqing came to the door in person yesterday, it was clear

As they said, Wanchunyuan did not leak this matter at all, which made Fang Zian a little confused at the time. Fang Zian also thought about this matter last night, Qin Xiqing should not lie to his face, but since Wanchunyuan did not leak this matter

However, Fang Zian immediately denied the idea. He told Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin, asking them not to tell anyone about the matter, and these two would not take their words seriously.

Wind in my ears.

But the current situation is that this matter really was spread by Zhao Changlin.

"Brother Zian, you can scold me or hit me. It's all because of my quick words that day. Huang Wannian was slandering you behind your back, so I argued with him. He said that you have been spending more money since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

He must have stolen someone else's money. In a fit of anger, I told him about your Mid-Autumn Festival lie, and exposed his lie to his face. At the time, I was just angry, but didn't think much about it, but in the end, this guy spread the word. I was really

Damn it, who would have thought that such a big thing would happen when the incident reached the ears of the mountain chief. Brother Zian was expelled from the mountain chief’s gate because of this matter. I really have no hope of redemption. Brother Zian, what do you mean?

How can I make up for it? I can be a cow or a horse, I can kowtow to you to apologize. In short, I will agree to whatever you say. It is all my fault." Zhao Changlin's expression was very sincere, and his self-blame was beyond words.

Fang Zian sighed and walked to Zhao Changlin, bent down and reached out to help him up, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Changlin, why do you blame yourself so much? It's just a small thing."

"Little thing? I caused you to be expelled from the school by the mountain chief. This has caused great damage to your reputation, and even... may even affect your future." Zhao Changlin said loudly.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's not as serious as you think, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. It has already happened, and it was an unintentional mistake on your part. Huang Wannian was the one who spread the rumors. This guy is not on good terms with me, so naturally he wants to

He spread rumors. In fact, what really surprised me was that my husband actually believed those rumors and decided that I was of bad conduct and hanging out with girls from brothels. This is what surprised me. I'm afraid you didn't expect how things would turn out.
