Three snatches Tanhualang

Those people seemed to be a convoy of a wealthy family, with horse-riding guards at the front and rear, and the carriages in the middle, the front one being particularly gorgeous.

As they approached, Song Yu took Song Liu and Debao out of the carriage shed and stood by the roadside waving at them, who knew that the guards on horseback didn't even look sideways at them.Seeing that he was about to pass by them, Depot was in a hurry. He took a few steps forward to fight in the middle of the road, and opened his hands to stop them.

The leader hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped: "Who doesn't want to live anymore?"

Song Yu was also taken aback by this behavior, and hurried forward; "Brother, I'm really sorry, the servant is reckless. A few of us passed by here, and we didn't want the carriage to break down and encounter such a strong wind. Xue, I would like to ask everyone to give us a lift."

Because Depot blocked the road, the whole convoy stopped in a hurry. These guards were already in a bad mood when they were riding on the road in heavy snow, but now because of this ignorant master and servant blocking them, they hurriedly reined in their horses. Wouldn't it be too bad to blame the accident: "Where did you come from who didn't understand the rules? Do you know who is sitting in this car? Get out of the way quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"

This man's tone was very bad. Seeing his young master being scolded like this, Song Liu felt dissatisfied, and wanted to go forward to make a distinction, but was held back by Song Yu. Seeing that these people had no intention of helping each other, Song Yu wanted to forget about it, but he wanted to Song Liu was injured, and several people were frozen in the wilderness and couldn't even drink hot water. I didn't know when it would last, so I had to lower my posture and said: "Brother, look!"

"Go, go, don't get in the way, you're welcome to be naughty brother!" Unexpectedly, Song Yu just opened his mouth, and the leader became impatient. He was just asking for help, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't want to. Song Yu and the three had no choice but to step aside.

The leading guard waved his hand and just thought of Cheng, a man in the carriage said, "Wen Bin, what's the matter?"

The lead guard who was called Wen Bin hurriedly drove to the side of the carriage after hearing this, and said, "Master, some ignorant people stopped our carriage and said they wanted to pick up a ride, which surprised you, so let's get rid of you, little one." them."

"Wait." Someone in the carriage raised the curtain and looked out.

Song Yuen was a young man in a blue brocade robe, with a jade crown and hair tied up, and his eyes were wide open. The man was surprised for a moment when he saw Song Yu, but he immediately smiled and nodded to Song Yu. He is gentle and elegant.

Song Yu arched his hands and bent down to salute the young man in blue, and then he and the others were caught in heavy snow, the carriage was destroyed, and the book boy was injured again. Now he is waiting for his friends to find a carriage to pick him up, and he doesn't know when he will arrive The situation is briefly explained: "Although I know it is presumptuous, the four of me, master and servant, have no other choice in this wilderness. We can only stop the carriages of everyone and see if you can give us a ride? I must be grateful do."

"So that's the case. It's really a headache to encounter this kind of situation on the road. Since the meeting is fate, why not help? Wen Bin" the blue-robed boy ordered someone to arrange the luggage of Song Yu and others and Song Liu Debao in the In the carriage behind, invite Song Yu to sit with him.

Song Yu dusted off the snow on his body before getting into the carriage. After entering the carriage, he found that there was a man in Chinese clothes, about thirty years old, sitting in the head seat of the carriage. The young master was sitting on his right side. .Song Yu sat down on the left side of the carriage, first saluted and thanked the young master in blue: "Thank you for your help, young master," and then said to the man in the main seat: "I'm sorry to bother you."

The man nodded to Song Yu and said "don't worry about it", then sat upright and stopped talking.

Song Yu secretly raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he had sword eyebrows, star eyes, straight nose and thin lips. Although he looked handsome, his expression was serious and serious, even if he was sitting still, he was imposing. , dare not say too much.He thought that the two of them must be from noble families, they knew that the capital city was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, a place where dignitaries and dignitaries gather, never thought that before entering the city gate, they would meet two nobles on the road.

"Seeing that you are a scholar, are you going to the capital to study or to find relatives?" The young man in blue said with a smile.

"Bucai's surname is Song Dan and his name is Yu, and this time he is here for next year's spring." Song Yu reported his name and purpose of coming and asked, "May I ask what you two young masters should call you?"

"Next week Nan, this is Mr. Chen. Unexpectedly, Mr. Song won the Juren at a young age. It's amazing. He really is a hero." Zhou Nan heard that Song Yu came to participate in the imperial examination, and appreciated him quite a lot. .

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, there are countless literati and students in the world, and there are not a few who are outstanding in learning. Song Yu has few talents, and it is just luck to win the exam. This reference is for learning." Song Yu was used to being praised since childhood, Zhou Nan His compliments did not make him panic, but he still understood the principle of being humble and low-key when going out.

"Mr. Song is being modest. It seems that most of the people who take part in the scientific examination every year are middle-aged people with potbellies, and there are not a few old people in their sixties. It is rare to see such a handsome young man like Mr. Song."

Zhou Nan's attitude was mild and humorous, and Song Yu's conversation with him was much more relaxed.The two chatted about poetry and etiquette, and Zhou Nan praised Song Yu's talents and insights.

Song Yu also had a good impression of Zhou Nan. A nobleman like him was gentle and courteous, knowledgeable and witty, which made people let down their guard against him.

The two chatted from poetry and poetry to beautiful scenery and food, and they seemed to hate each other. Zhou Nan heard that Song Yu was from Yangzhou and was very yearning: "The feng shui in the south of the Yangtze River raises people, and the difficulties have raised you, Brother Song, so smart and agile. Clean and cute." In such a short while, the two have become brothers.

"Brother Zhou is overrated. Brother Zhou is the one who is gentle, refined and personable." Song Yu felt that Zhou Nan's praise was weird. He thought maybe he was young, so Brother Zhou still treated him like a baby?

"Fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March. If you have a chance, you must go to see the misty and misty Jiangnan scene in March."

"If Brother Zhou comes to Yangzhou, I will definitely treat you well."

"Then we're done."

"sure"

The two flattered each other all the way, and when they approached the city gate, their subordinates came down to report, and they seemed to have met Mr. Song's followers.

Song Yu told Zhou Nan that his entourage went to the city to find a carriage to pick them up. Zhou Nan asked Sun Hu's appearance and clothing characteristics, and asked his subordinates to pay attention along the way so as not to miss it.At this moment, Wen Bin, the leader, saw that there was a person in the carriage in front of him whose appearance was very similar to that of Sun Hu described by Song Yu, and it was late in this weather, who would rush out of the city if nothing happened?But according to what Song Yu said, Sun Hu only had one person. Seeing that the other party had two carriages and a lot of people, he was not sure for a while, so he came to report first.

Zhou Nan ordered the carriage to stop, and Song Yu got out of the car to see that the person sitting next to the driver in front was indeed Sun Hu.He hurried forward and stopped him.

Song Liu and Debao also got out of the carriage, and Sun Hu was quite surprised to see the three of them, so Song Yu let Lu Yu tell them about Zhou Nan's kindness to let them ride in the carriage, and Sun Hu felt relieved when he saw that the three of them were all well .

At this time, a few people got off from the carriage behind Sun Hu, and the leader was a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue satin robe, with a slightly fatter figure, a round face and small eyes with a sense of joy.When he walked up to Song Yu, he bent down and bowed first, saying, "I pay my respects to the Fourth Young Master, my subordinate has neglected his duties and made the Young Master suffer."

Without waiting for Song Yu to ask, the man introduced himself again: "My subordinate is Zhang Jincai, the second shopkeeper of Songji Silk and Satin Village in the capital. Next day I brought people to wait at the gate of the city, I don’t want you to let Fengxue get stuck on the road, I blame my subordinates for their poor arrangements!”

It turned out that Zhang Jincai brought a few people to wait at the gate of the city for a few days but Song Yu and the others were not seen. He thought they were delayed on the road. One of them asked if he had seen a scholar surnamed Song and some servants on their way. In the afternoon, they couldn't find any news. They were anxious to go out of the city to search when they met Sun Hu. When they asked, they turned out to be a family. He quickly followed Sun Hu to the outside of the city.

Zhou Nan got out of the car when he heard that it was Song Yu's people who came to pick him up. Song Yu thanked him again.

Zhang Jincai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Nan: "My lord, thanks to you for the matter of my fourth son today, may I ask which house you belong to? The younger one will definitely come to the door with a generous gift to thank you!"

Zhou Nan waved his hands and said, "No need," and said to Song Yu, "You and I are destined, and we will see you again someday. Brother, I wish you a title on the gold list, and a bright future ahead."

"By brother Zhou's auspicious words, today you and I are like old friends, and we will definitely have a good drink when we meet someday." Song Yu originally wanted to exchange addresses with Zhou Nan, but he thought that Zhou Nan would be fawning if he said that he was destined to see him again. , then followed Zhou Nan's words and said goodbye.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Nan, Zhang Jincai asked Song Yu and others to move their luggage back to the self-driving carriage, let Zhou Nan and his carriages go first, and his own carriage followed behind and set off.

After entering the city gate, the two teams of carriages and horses went separately. Song Yu had a good impression of Zhou Nan, but he didn't know if he would have a chance to meet again in the future.
