Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, but tourists are only as old as Jiangnan. The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is sleeping when you are painting a boat. People around the valley are like the moon, and the white wrists are condensed in frost and snow. Don’t return home before you are old, you must be heartbroken when you return home.

It is also said: There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

After Lin Qingran came to Hangzhou, he did not rush to go north to take the exam. Instead, he visited Baoshu Pagoda and arrived at the famous Zhaoqing Temple. Of course, he also got Xizi Lake.

Although it is early winter, the sun is beautiful, the shadows of the trees are graceful, and the wide West Lake is shining with brilliant waves. The cruise ship is like shuttles, and laughter is constantly coming from the boat.

From Broken Bridge to Sudi area, there are the most tourists, which is quite lively. The young woman has feelings in her eyebrows, and the elegant scholar sways gently in folding fan, chanting poems and lying, showing her charm.

Lin Weiran was like a passerby, admiring the little things by the lake. But he left some regrets and did not raft on the West Lake. Because he smelled the fragrance of wine, he came to a two-story restaurant.

The restaurant looks very ordinary, but when I got to the building, I realized why the restaurant's business is so popular. Sitting on the elegant seat next to the lake, you can enjoy the most beautiful lake and mountain scenery outside the window.

There was once a noble hotel. In order to cater to those distinguished guests, he made a lot of money on the surrounding environment. Nowadays, the dishes here are not expensive, but they have the most beautiful scenery, which makes him feel like he is profitable.

After ordering a few famous dishes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he has never liked to drink alone, so he also ordered a pot of good wine.

At this moment, looking at the lake and mountains outside the window, I finally understood why Suzhou and Hangzhou are known as paradise. Especially after two months at sea, I was able to stand on the land, sit by the West Lake and drink, so that I could not help but drink.

He felt a faint happiness?

But he wanted to "taste delicious food and enjoy the beautiful scenery", but he couldn't get him to do what he wanted.

"Lin Jieyuan, you really make it easy for me to find!" A young fat man wearing a white cotton coat came over, with some sweat remaining on his forehead, but his slightly fat face looked excited.

"Are you looking for me?" Lin Qingran looked up at the unpretentious fat man, muttering in his heart.

This man should not be too fat, but he is dressed thickly, so he gives people a feeling of a fat man. He also knows this man. Yesterday, their fleet was personally welcomed by Wu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi. At that time, the fat man was

Standing behind Wu Zongxian.

The fat man sat down opposite him and said solemnly: "Governor Hu asked me to tell you! At noon tomorrow, at the wharf outside the Wulin Gate, you can follow the official ship north, and he has already made arrangements for you!"

"Please thank Governor Hu for me!" Lin Qingran was overjoyed and immediately bowed. In fact, he also knew that the person he wanted to thank must be the instructions of the general before leaving.

"You have made such a great contribution, this treatment is nothing!" The fat man took the wine that he had just sent over, his face suddenly darkened, and he immediately scolded: "Qionghualu? This is the first person to come to Zhejiang.

Guest, you are giving us Zhejiang people a shame when you treat us with this wine!”

"It was this guest who chose it himself!" Although the waiter didn't understand what the problem would be with the wine, he still looked at Lin Shiran and said in aggrievedly.

"Get a pot of Shaoxing Huadiao!" The fat man handed the wine back to the waiter and ordered.

"I'll change it for you now!" The waiter looked at Lin Xianran, and saw that he took the wine without any objection.

"What's the point!" Lin Qingran was not familiar with the wines of this era. He had only thought the name was good, so he chose this wine.

The fat man was not at all. He grabbed the fennel beans on the table and ate them proudly and said: "The Qionghualu in Yangzhou is not spicy enough, but sweet and soft, and it doesn't look like wine at all. Only our Shaoxing Huadiao has the most flavor!"

"Are you from Shaoxing?" Lin Qingran felt a little helpless. This guy probably has a deep hometown complex, why are things the best in his hometown?

Seeing the Shaoxing Huadiao delivering it, the fat man took the wine and introduced himself: "Uh... I am Xu Wei of Shaoxing, and my courtesy name is Wenchang!"

"You are Xu Wei!" Lin Qianran immediately said in surprise. However, he did not expect that the fat man in front of him who was not good-looking was Xu Wei, a famous talented man in later generations.

"Haha... it's far from being comparable to you, a gentleman in bamboo and a blood scholar!" Xu Wei's eyes were slightly brighter, but he shook his head bitterly again, and then continued to pour wine for him.

"I'm a false reputation!" Lin Qinran didn't expect that he would know him and bowed humbly.

"It's true to be a false name!" Xu Wei seemed to feel something, put the wine jar aside, afraid that he would misunderstand, and then added: "Compared with the imperial examination, these are indeed false names!"

Xu Wei became famous at a young age and was known as a child prodigy. He became a scholar at the age of 20, but he failed the exam five times in the provincial examination.

On the other hand, Lin Weiran, who was famous all over the world, was demoted to the first provincial examination. This was the real winner in life. If he had a choice, he would rather not have these talents, but only want to be on the list.

Lin Qingran picked up the wine glass and wanted to say some compliments to the celebrity in later generations in front of him, but found that it was not suitable. His current identity is indeed not suitable for saying those words, and it might become a satire.

If Tang Bohu's journey to the imperial examination is regrettable, then the great man in front of him, who was known as the "Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty" as well as Xie Jin and Yang Shen, was even more sympathetic in the imperial examination.

Tang Bohu at least understood the Yuan Dynasty. He once had a glory and felt the joy of the post-Junior Era. But what about Xu Wei? He is capable and talented, but he never got the "Junior Era Diploma".

In fact, based on his official connections, especially his appreciation from Wu Zongxian, even if he had the fame of a juren, he could still do well in the officialdom, but unfortunately, his fortune made people feel good.

But he was powerless to change all this, nor could he change his destiny. What he could do now was to go to Beijing to take the exam, strive to get a gold medal, make himself stronger, and protect the people he wanted to protect.

The two of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery of West Lake, ate Jiangsu and Zhejiang food, savored Shaoxing wine, and listened to Xu Wei knocking on the plate and drinking the serene song. This is indeed a paradise.

At noon the next day, nine official ships were parked outside the Wulin Gate.

Xu Wei went to the inn to pick him up and took him directly to the dock. He looked at the figures of the Jinyiwei and the eunuch, and after a little thought, he knew that this trip was most likely a fleet that escorted the emperor's tribute.

When he thought of his experience at sea, he felt immediately terrified, worried that he would be robbed again. But then he thought that he was walking on the Grand Canal this time, and he was afraid that no thief would dare to do such a thing again, so he took a step

Get on board.

"Brother Wen, thank you for sending me off, but please stay here. I will drink Huadiao wine together when I meet you next day!" Lin Qingran looked at Xu Wei and came on board and bowed to him solemnly.

"I'm also going to take the exam, don't you know?" Xu Wei was stunned for a long time before he said leisurely.

When Lin Xuran heard this, he immediately touched his nose awkwardly. He knew a bird!
Chapter completed!
