Elite men's time travel through ancient times

After the merchant ship stopped at the port of Lucheng for two days, the merchant ship left the shore and continued to go north.When encountering a port along the way, Yang Fan would let the merchant ship stay for a day or two, and then take Lin Mozhu ashore to play.Along the way, the two of them went to many places, and Lin Mozhu also got used to this kind of journey and enjoyed it.

The further north you go, the more varied the scenery along the coast.The Beiyue Kingdom is the northernmost country among the four countries. When you arrive at Qizhou City, you will be able to see the obvious scenery of the Northern Kingdom to the north.The coast is no longer high mountains and hills, but a plain with a wide view, and there are more and more towns along the coast.In the evening, merchant ships will pick a town to dock, and a group of people will go ashore or stay in an inn or a farmhouse to experience the different local customs and customs.

After going all the way like this, it was already a month later when we arrived at Linshui City.Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu left home in the spring when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and arrived in Linshui City until Lixia.

Linshui City is a port city and the most important water and land transportation hub of the North Vietnamese Kingdom. It goes to Qingjiang County in the north, Chihu County in Nantong, and Daishan County in the west.Because of its unique geographical location, Linshui City became the most important and prosperous city in North Vietnam besides the capital.Yang Fan and the others are going to disembark here, and then transfer to the carriage to go to the capital.

It takes time to integrate the fleet, and what Yang Fan and the others need most now is time, so they simply decided to stay in Linshui City for a few more days.First send people to the city to rent a small house, and have people clean it up, and then Yang Fan and the others live in it.The house is located in the center of the city, and the bustling street is just outside the door.

Waking up late the next morning, Yang Fan decided to take Lin Mozhu out to eat.Before going out, Yang Fan called Qingyu over. .When he arrived the day before, Yang Fan asked him to go out and find out what interesting places there are in Linshui City. He planned to take Lin Mozhu out to have fun during his stay here for a few days.

"Returning to the master, I found out that there are three scenic spots in Linshui City. One is Lingxia Temple on the Fragrant Hills outside the city. Lingxia Temple is an ancient temple with a history of 300 years. It is said to be very effective. There are also many peonies planted in the temple. When the peonies are in full bloom, many people go to the temple to enjoy the flowers. The second is the port where we disembarked yesterday. There is a lotus town a few miles away from the port. The town is surrounded by lakes. Although it is not yet the season of lotus blooming, you can go to the lake. The third is the archway on Zhuangyuan Street. It is said that the three archways there were built for the three champions from the Qi family. Behind the archway is the famous Yuanshan Academy. .”

After listening to Qingyu, Yang Fan boasted with a smile: "You are quite careful about your inquiries."

"The little one asked about it from the driver and the porter yesterday."

"Did you spend a lot of money?" Yang Fan asked, taking a piece of silver from his pocket and throwing it to him.Qingyu took it skillfully, and "hehe" laughed.

After dismissing the whisper, Yang Fan asked Lin Mozhu, "Where do you want to go?"

"I listen to Brother Yang."

Yang Fan stroked his bare chin, pondered for a moment and then said: "Today, let's go for a walk in the city and eat some delicious food. If the weather is fine tomorrow, we will go to Lingxia Temple. If the weather is bad, we will go to the lake." .” As for the big archway and academy, he is not interested at all.

Lin Mozhu has always listened to Yang Fan's arrangement without any objection.So the two of them took at least two guards, Liu Dayong, and went out for a stroll.

As a transportation hub, Linshui City has many vehicles and pedestrians, and the streets are very lively.Compared with Los Angeles City, the streets of Linshui City are more spacious. The neat shops on both sides of the street are two or three stories high, and flags and banners of various colors are fluttering in the wind.The folk customs are different in different places. Linshui City belongs to the north, and the commodities sold on the street are also quite different from those in Chihu County.Both Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu found it novel. After shopping for a while, Yang Fan picked another restaurant to enter, ordered a table of signature dishes, and asked Liu Dayong and Qi Ming to sit down and eat together.

The restaurant is called "Yuelai Pavilion", and the three words on the plaque are quite imposing. The restaurant is three stories high. When Yang Fan and the others entered, there were no boxes on the third floor, so they ordered a box on the second floor.The boxes are facing the street, and when you open the window, you can see the street full of people coming and going.

The shop waiter first served a few plates of melons and fruits and a pot of tea. Yang Fan pinched a roasted peanut and threw it into his mouth. Lin Mozhu stood in front of the window and looked outside, sighing: "This place is really lively." If there is such a thing in Los Angeles Lively, their restaurant business must be better than this one.

While waiting for the food to be served, Yang Fan waved to the waiter at the side of the shop, rewarded him with a handful of copper coins, and then asked him to talk about the interesting places in the city.It was rare for the waiter to meet such a generous customer. After putting away the copper coins happily, he enthusiastically introduced the famous places in Linshui City to Yang Fan.Most of them were similar to what Qingyu had inquired about, but in order to satisfy the generous master Yang Fan, the waiter wanted to tell everything he knew.If it wasn't for the food being served on the table, the waiter would have told Yang Fan and the others all the interesting rumors in the city.

Yang Fan was very satisfied with his service, and rewarded him with a handful of copper coins.

"Thank you, thank you sir! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me, as long as I know, I will know everything!" The waiter almost wanted Yang Fan to be the God of Wealth.

"I'll come back to you later if I have more questions to ask." Yang Fan smiled and waved the waiter down.

After the shop waiter went out and closed the door, Lin Mozhu said to Yang Fan: "Brother Yang, this Qi family seems to be very powerful.

Isn't it great?The ancient imperial examinations were difficult, and there were not many clans in history that could produce three champions. "Northern Qi Nanmei" is said to be the Qi family of Beiyue State and the Mei family of Nan Shao State, two well-known families of poetic hairpin tassels in the world.

The third number one scholar of the Qi family is now serving as the servant of the Ministry of Rites and the senior official of the third rank with the eldest son of Mrs. Zhou's Fu family. The former serves as the right servant and the latter serves as the right servant.In addition, the Qi family also has Yuanshan Academy, which makes countless students want to enter. It is the best school besides the Imperial College in the capital.Influenced by the Qi family, there are a lot of scholars in Linshui Town, and scholars in long gowns and hats are often seen on the street.

But Yang Fan and Lin Mozhu just sighed and didn't take it too seriously.Yang Fan studied at Harvard University, which is ranked among the top three in the world. Although he graduated from a famous university, he doesn't think that being a student is so great.After traveling to North Vietnam, he became a businessman. Most of the scholars he met were self-confident, and he looked down on businessmen who smelled of copper most of all.Because of this, he doesn't have a lot of affection for scholars who can't lift their shoulders and can't pick up books.As for Lin Mozhu, he was taught by Liu Yizheng and Yang Fan, and his vision was no longer limited to the imperial examinations.

After eating in the restaurant, the originally sunny weather suddenly changed. A dark cloud floated in the sky, and it didn't take long for it to rain.The group had to stop shopping and went back.The rain didn't stop at once, and the patter of rain continued until the next morning.

When Yang Fan and the others got up, although the rain became lighter, the sky was still dark.

Looking at the sky outside, Lin Mozhu was a little worried, and suggested: "It's raining, let's not go out today."

"It's okay, the rain is not heavy, and it won't affect the lake tour."

Touring the lake is all in a painting boat, and you can't get wet in the rain, but it's just a little less fun when it rains.And it was a waste of time to come out because it was raining.

It was rare to go out to play, Yang Fan only left a few guards to watch the house this time, and took everyone else with him.It takes only two quarters of an hour to get to Hehua Town by carriage. Sitting in the carriage, you can see the endless lotus leaves standing on the lake in the drizzle.Even Yang Fan was the first to see such a large area of ​​lotus. It was rare that he suddenly became poetic, and he thought of the poem "the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky".

On rainy days, few people came out to swim in the lake, so Yang Fan and the others quickly rented a painting boat.After rejecting the maid who was assigned to the painting boat, Yang Fan left only two boatmen for punting, and a group of people boarded the boat.The boatman tapped the pole, and the boat floated away from the shore lightly and headed for the lake.

It stands to reason that they should have been tired of sitting on the boat for a month.However, traveling on a painting boat on the lake is not the same as traveling by boat, and swimming on the lake in the rain is a completely different artistic conception.The painted boat floats among the endless lotus leaves, leaning against the boat guardrail, and you can see a few fish floating on the water with their mouths open from time to time.

Everyone got together in twos and threes, and each found a place to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the rain.Yang Fan half hugged Lin Mozhu and sat on the edge of the guardrail, talking in a low voice.

"It's a pity that it was a little early, otherwise we could still see the lotus blooming."

"It's easy if you want to see it. When I go back, I'll make the lake in the villa busy. Plant lotus flowers like this, and then buy a painting boat. When the lotus flowers bloom next year, I'll take you to the lake every day."

Hearing what Yang Fan said, Lin Mozhu couldn't help laughing: "I'm just saying a word, so there is no need to mobilize people like this.

"You are wrong. My purpose of making money is to make your life better. Buy what you want, and find someone to do it if you can't buy it."

"You also said that Xiaofei is almost spoiled by you, how can you spoil a child so much?"

Faced with Lin Mozhu's reproach, Yang Fan smiled without saying a word.In fact, he also wanted to spoil Lin Mozhu like this, but the child was too sensible to give him a chance to spoil him.

While the two were talking, the boatman was instructing several guards to cast nets, and cheers came from time to time.Yang Fan looked interesting, so he also asked the boatman for a net bag, and stood behind Lin Mozhu to protect him, and the two of them worked together to fish for fish and shrimp in the lake.It was the first time to do it naturally, and there was no way to see a shrimp on the list for a long time, but the two of them had a good time.If it wasn't for the heavy rain and the fear of getting cold with wet clothes, they would have played for a while longer.

The group of people really managed to catch some fish and shrimp. The boatman put them in a wooden bucket and said with a smile: "This season's small river squid is the most plump. A famous local dish, drunken shrimp. Use our lotus Live prawns in the lake are the most delicious as drunken prawns.”

Everyone was very interested in what he said, and they all gathered around the wooden barrel to discuss how to eat it, and they just discussed five or six ways to do it with just a handful of fish and shrimp.
