Yan Baiwei smiled through the window and said, "I told you to stay in the carriage. I asked people to lay it on the carriage very thickly so that it won't be too bumpy. If you are tired, just take a nap."
Tang Shi Jin Xianyu paralyzed and said: "Let's resume martial arts training when we get back, and calligraphy training. I feel like I'm almost useless!"
"Okay." Yan Baiwei smiled and said, "If you are willing to practice, I will accompany you."
Tang Shijin had a sudden thought: "I even forgot to ask Ling'er what kung fu he knew and if there was anything I could learn."
"Don't be greedy for more," Yan Baiwei glanced at her: "I know how to do it. It's good if you can learn half of it in this life."
Tang Shijin clicked his tongue: "I dare not talk about practicing calligraphy, but learning kung fu... You underestimate a genius like me. I am just injured, otherwise I would have become a master long ago."
Yan Baiwei smiled and said, "Then wait until you become a master before thinking about other things."
Renyi and the others couldn't help it anymore and all looked sideways.
When I came back from this trip, I really felt like the master was a new person.
It's not that he was unfriendly before, but it was a kind of noble and distant kindness. How about calling him Corporal Lixian?
But now, her smile is so gentle, so happy, so approachable...
Is it really so easy to chat with a little brat? He clumsily fights for favors from time to time, and it’s really shameful to be so happy when he goes out.
Several people had mixed emotions.
Yan Baiwei didn't care, and joked with Tang Shijin all the way, and even got into the carriage and sat for a while.
When they arrived at the neighboring county, Tang Shijin came down with him for a walk.
This is what we have agreed on before. We say we are going to Fucheng, but in fact we are just looking for a place to stop over. We can go anywhere, and then we can experience the local customs along the way. It doesn’t matter where we go.
This county looked almost as poor as Wutong County, and the surrounding scenery was similar, but Tang Shijin and Yan Baiwei still spent a leisurely day strolling around, tasting their food, and then stayed there.
They directly reserved a courtyard.
This is also a routine operation. Inns these days are divided into three, six, and nine grades. In addition to ordinary inns, those with a little wealth usually have a large family when they go out. This kind of people are used to renting a yard. Of course, there are also big car shops.
, it is specially used for carriages, where drivers can live, and they sleep in Datong bunk.
The advantage of having a courtyard is that it is easier to talk, and the food can be ordered directly from outside. While eating, Renyi said: "Master, if you don't want to go to Fucheng, why are you delaying here?"
Yan Baiwei said: "You don't necessarily have to go to Fucheng, you just bring Jin'er out to see the scenery and people."
Renyi stopped talking, and Tang Shijin said: "I am a businessman, and I came out to inspect the market, so not only here, but everywhere, I will stop for a day and a half, and even in big places, I may stop for two more days.
."
Ren Yiyi said: "It's okay to stay in far places. What's the difference between the nearby places and this county? Why waste time?"
Tang Shijin said with a smile: "The wind is different even in two villages. Since you said that, let me ask you, what can you tell after walking around for a day?"
Renyi couldn't help but puff up his chest and explore the news. We are professionals!
He said: "The beggars here are all forced to beg. They are very aggressive in begging. They probably have a leader, but they are relatively free. Maybe they are worried about the flower wolves in our county and do not dare to go too far. It is very quiet outside.
Not many people from the world stayed here, and there wasn’t anything noteworthy. Overall, it was pretty safe.”
Tang Shijin said: "Brother Yi is smart! But I am a businessman, and my views are different from yours."
Brother Yi, why does it sound so weird?
Renyi said: "Then I wonder what the young lady saw?"
Tang Shijin said: "I have noticed two things. The first point is that the magistrate of this county must be very literary. Why do I say this? Because there are many inscriptions with very new handwriting on the walls everywhere. It is not surprising that there are inscriptions on the walls.
But there are so many of them, and they are so new, which is very strange. Moreover, these inscriptions are all on the 'road', not on the 'scenery'. It looks too casual, and it doesn't look like an impromptu visit to the scenery at all.
It feels like the purpose is very obvious.”
Renyi deliberately argued: "That's not necessarily the county magistrate."
"No, it must be the county magistrate." Tang Shijin said: "If it is an official who has retired from old age and returned to his hometown, or someone who loves talents, then the title will be modified to a certain extent, that is, he will at least 'pretend' that it is impromptu
The work should be done more casually, rather than in such a neat and orderly manner. This shows that this is a way of being recognized, and the person recognized must have an orthodox status similar to an 'examiner', and everyone is in awe. I think
It’s the county magistrate.”
Yan Baiwei kept watching with a smile and did not stop him. Ren Yi then said: "That has nothing to do with business."
"How come it doesn't matter?" Tang Shijin said: "What is good for the superiors must be good for the inferiors. This sentence is used everywhere. If there is a county magistrate who worships Wen, you have to do business in this direction.
Apart from anything else, if I wanted to make money, I could arouse the competitive spirit of this group of scholars and make a lot of money in one day. These semi-informed scholars will definitely spare no effort to stand out in the title wall. For example, I sell
Crossword lanterns? For example, if I hold a cultural gathering, I can get money by raising my hand."
Renyi couldn't argue: "What about the second point?"
Tang Shijin said: "Second point, I guess there must be a relatively famous temple or nunnery in their county, and there must be a widely circulated legend, because the grass food here is really good every year.
There are so many, and they all come with special colorful rope packaging.”
This time, Renyi didn't want to fight, but he really didn't understand: "Then it can't be because they like to eat it?"
Tang Shijin said: "I originally thought there was something unique about this kind of thing, or the taste here is special, but I found that children don't like to eat it, and adults will buy it, and they will pray for longevity and so on, so I think
This is not just food, it must have some meaning."
Renyi stopped talking.
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Brother, do you think what I said is right?"
He said: "I don't know if it's right, but it sounds reasonable."
Tang Shijin said: "It's easy to verify. When we came here, wasn't there an archway? There is an answer in an alley to the east of the archway. If I have time, I might as well go and have a look."
Renyi really went.
Yan Baiwei waited for him to leave, then smiled and said, "Why are you teasing him?"
Tang Shijin said: "When he was serving the dishes just now, I said I loved eating those ribs. He had to put them in the farthest place. He did it on purpose!"
Yan Baiwei laughed and said nothing.
Tang Shijin untied a longevity knot from his left wrist, took it from his hand, and tied it to his wrist: "I almost forgot, I'll give this to you, so that the big ghosts and the bad guys will be gone! You are also in your zodiac year, so we must do it when we go out.
careful!"
This rope was made of red rope with gold beads embedded in it. It looked a bit fancy for him to wear.
Several people thought he would definitely take it off and throw it back, but Yan Baiwei pulled his sleeves to cover it and said with a smile: "Okay."
