Chronicles of Ancient Life

Qin Jiaze felt physically and mentally exhausted after going to banquets for several days.The habit of exchanging feelings at the dinner table is a tradition no matter in the previous life or in this life.Once at the dinner table, it is inevitable to change glasses and drink each other.

Don't think that scholars who are gentle will not be able to drink alcohol. Among scholars, they just put a layer of gentleness on drinking, and drink alcohol with a high-sounding appearance.Of course, there are also people who are really gentle and will not force others to make things difficult.But most people have to take the opportunity to make a fuss at the banquet.

Qin Jiaze got up early in the morning without energy, and sat lazily in the yard basking in the sun.Yesterday at the meeting with the imperial examination master, Qin Jiaze, the young master of the uncle's house, had to be dragged out for a walk and drank a lot of wine.I have a headache when I wake up in the morning, so I'm taking a breath in the yard now.I feel a lot more comfortable, and I am comfortable.Yang Ye came to report, Young Master Bai is here!

Qin Jiaze didn't bother to get up to greet him, he just ordered someone to come in.

As soon as Bai Zifang entered the yard, he saw the shapeless Qin Jiaze sitting, and couldn't help but said with amused heart, "Ah Ze, what are you doing with your posture this early in the morning? It's rare to see you so careless about etiquette."

Qin Jiaze was not polite to him either, and pointed to the stool, signaling him to sit down. "I drank too much wine yesterday, and I had a severe headache. It's not like you haven't seen me like this, so you're afraid of shame. Why did you come here so early in the morning? I didn't tell you much at the banquet yesterday. The matter of the Bai family is over." without?"

Bai Zifang lifted up the hem of her clothes and sat down, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. With a sweet mouth, she said just now, "Oh! Make it clear, I'm officially moving out of the Bai family, and I'm in charge of my marriage. Three shops, A small village of 5000 acres, a piece of real estate, is not a good place. Oh, there are [-] taels of silver!

The Bai family property is a drop in the bucket, but if it can come out smoothly, I am content.This is really strange, my uncle, a shrewd man, let me, a master of Juren, leave the Bai family so happily, and didn't want to take advantage of me! "After that, he laughed at himself.

Qin Jiaze narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about it for a long time in private, before finally coming up with a possibility.Bai Pingyue didn't have any affection for this son.But if this son is still useful, he, a businessman who can even use himself, would never just let his son go.

Unless something big happened to the Bai family, such as being involved in a court battle.Bai Pingyue's current Yue's family is an official, isn't the official-business combination plan just money!Now half of the officials in the upper court are standing in the same team, maybe the prefect has also entered a certain camp.

Bai Pingyue had no choice but to join the game, but he didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket, so he simply separated from his nominal nephew and actual son.In order not to be taken over by the pot at that time, it is best to leave someone for the Bai family.

The reason why Qin Jiaze thought of this was because he specifically asked his uncle and Yingyu after knowing about the Bai family's affairs.Qin Jiaze looked at his friend who knew nothing about it and was still eating grapes leisurely.Silently suppress these powerful relationships in the bottom of my heart, that's all, even if Bai Zifang knows, so what?He couldn't make Bai Pingyue stop, if something happened to the Bai family, Xiaobai could just help out more.

Bai Zifang looked at Qin Jiaze who was in a daze, and threw a grape over, "Hey, I'm such a big living person sitting here, why are you in a daze."

Qin Jiaze put the grapes still on his body on the table, straightened up and said, "Tell me, what's the matter. Seeing that you haven't told the truth for so long, there is nothing you can't say."

"Hahaha, it's Ze who understands me." Bai Zifang grinned, leaned half on the table, leaned closer and said, "Ah Ze, how about we go out to relax together! You see, in Fucheng, we always invite people from the east. It’s hard to shirk, you’re bored, aren’t you. Why don’t we go out together, see the mountains and see the water, and broaden our horizons?”

This idea is quite satisfactory, I don't want to go to the academy for a while, and I also have plans to travel, so it's good to have someone to accompany me for a walk.

Qin Jiaze nodded and said to Bai Zifang, "Tell me, where do you want to go? Do you have any plans?"

Hearing that there was a play, Bai Zifang hurriedly straightened her body, and actively expressed her plan, "In our Dingyang mansion, there is a mountain that has to be visited, a spring with a hole that has to be tasted, and a temple that has to be tasted." Bye." Speaking of which, Bai Zifang still wants to show off, but she doesn't want to be a friend, I will listen to what you say, and I won't be in a hurry if you don't tell me.

Bai Zifang curled her lips and felt that this guy was really not flattering her, so she continued, "The most famous Cangwu Mountain in Dingyang has beautiful scenery and is known as the mountain of hermits. Scholars of all dynasties like to live in seclusion on this mountain. There are many steles and stone inscriptions, as a scholar, it is a pity in my life not to take a look!"

When Bai Zifang said this, he still shook his head and emphasized his tone.Qin Jiaze looked amused, but what Xiaobai said was right, just keep listening.

Bai Zifang continued, "It is said that this spring is Qingling Spring. The water suitable for tea is divided into seven grades. This Qingling Spring is known as 'Jiangbei Mountain Spring No.1'. Whether it is making tea or drinking it directly, it is fragrant and sweet. It is said that it is a clear and spiritual spring deep in the mountains. You and I grew up here in Dingyang, so how can you not taste the first spring in Jiangbei!"

Bai Zifang didn't forget to take a look at Qin Jiaze when he said this, and after finding that he was listening carefully, he continued, "Is this the third temple? It's the Goddess Marriage Temple. Is this a legend about the Goddess Temple? You can go and see for yourself when the time comes." !

Ha ha.I don't believe that uncle and uncle didn't urge you to marry.Anyway, I have no one above my head now, so don't worry.I think the threshold of your family will be stepped down by the matchmaker in a short time.You go to worship the goddess and ask her to point you to a good marriage! "

Qin Jiaze saw Bai Zifang circling the table triumphantly, and wanted to beat the kid up.But what this kid said is right, the matchmaker will definitely come to the door again, so it's better to go out and hide earlier.As for this goddess temple, is it a matter of marriage?It doesn't matter if you don't ask for it, just follow the fate.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiaze decided to leave early, raised his head and said to the person who was still giggling, "When are we leaving? I can pack up and leave anytime, how about you? After talking for a long time, are you ready?"

"Ah!" Bai Zifang didn't expect her friend to be so active, and she didn't recover for a while, "Oh, well, I can leave anytime. I'm the only one in the house. I just need to bring a few changes of clothes and money. up.

Ah, by the way, go in your carriage, I don’t want to ride a horse, it’s so hot in this weather!In case it rains or the wind blows, what a pain!I went to have fun, not to suffer. "After finishing speaking, he muttered, thinking about what he needed to bring.

Qin Jiaze sneered and said, "Come on, you came to find me to travel with me as a babysitter, and everything was prepared for you. You young master took the money and went on the road in style, didn't you? I thought about it." It's beautiful." After finishing speaking, she did not forget to roll her eyes.

"Haha, isn't that why I have nothing now? I don't even have a reliable person around me! So I can only rely on you. Good Ze, you won't leave me alone, will you?" Bai Zifang put on a pitiful expression With an expression on his face, he said to Qin Jiaze.

Qin Jiaze picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful. You don't have to go back, let someone go to your place to get clothes, stay in the guest room, and just leave when the time comes .I will ask someone to prepare things. Keep your little money, and think about where to spend it!"

"Thank you Aze, you are such a good person." Upon hearing this, Bai Zifang put his arm around his friend's shoulder, and moved closer.

"Okay, stay away from me. I didn't joke with you. To be honest, you think about it for me along the way, what will you do in the future? Take your temperament that you live every day, and let me accept it.

Think about how to use the shop allocated to you, what to grow on the Zhuangzi, and the house cannot be lived.How to arrange the manpower in this shop and Zhuangzi, is it still necessary?Don't want to now, don't you plan to wait until the seventies and eighties to worry?

Money begets money is king, understand.Hey, I care so much about you, you're almost my younger brother.You are not as good as the two little guys?You go to the study or the guest room to stay first, I will come as soon as I go! "Qin Jiaze shook off the heavy hand on his shoulders, stood up and was about to order his servants to pack up his things, and then go to inform his father of his travel plans.

Bai Zifang stood where she was, looked at her friend's back, and said silently in her heart, "Ah Ze, thank you! Thank you so much!"

It is already September, the sun above the head is still smiling brightly, and the farmers are very happy.The days of good weather are making it easier for the autumn harvest.Harvesting wheat, threshing, and drying fields all need the sun.

Bai Zifang lay listlessly on the carriage like a fish out of water, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Ze, how long will it take for us to reach Cangwu Mountain! I can't take it anymore, it's too hot. Yes There is no ice, watermelons that have been soaked in water are also fine..."

Qin Jia leaned against the carriage and squinted his eyes to rest his mind. Hearing this, he opened his eyes, looked at the person lying down pretending to be dead, and said, "It makes sense to be cool naturally when you are calm. The more you shout, the hotter you are, and the more anxious you are, the more sweaty you are. You have become like this in just a few days, you really should exercise hard." He said and passed the bamboo tube, "Drink some water, bluegrass tea brewed in boiled water, to relieve heat and clear heat."

Bai Zifang got up, took the bamboo tube, and drank slowly.

Seeing that he had drunk, Qin Jiaze said again, "Persevere, and stay overnight tonight. We will arrive at the foot of Cangwu Mountain tomorrow morning."

After drinking herbal tea, Bai Zifang wiped her mouth, and when she heard that she would be there tomorrow, she felt a lot more relaxed, "Well, that's really great." After speaking, she slowly lay down again.

Seeing his half-dead appearance, Qin Jiaze shook his head, picked up another bamboo tube, and sent it to Yang Ye and the coachman guards outside.

"Your Majesty, please drink some water." Yun Fang handed over the teacup in his hand and said, "We will be able to reach Cangwu Mountain tomorrow. Why don't we find a place to rest early tonight and start our journey tomorrow morning. The weather is too hot, and many Everyone is suffering from heat stroke."

Ying Yu took a sip of water, pondered for a while, and nodded, "Okay, settle down early today, recharge your energy, and go on your way tomorrow. Go and give orders!"

Cangwu Mountain is on the border between Dingyang and Yunzhou, with beautiful forests, overlapping mountains, and long clear water...
