After a long journey, I finally saw this magnificent Guangzhou City.

Lin Weiran looked up at this famous city that had been through vicissitudes again, and felt a different feeling in his heart than before.

Whether you come to participate in the provincial examination or return home in glory, or come here as a Guangdong Maritime Shishiju, you have never really examined this thousand-year-old ancient city.

But now, he is about to become the administrator of the city and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the city. At this moment, he has an additional sense of belonging to the city and examines it more seriously, even if it is just a tree and grass.

Lin Qingran and his group entered the city from the west gate. They had to pass through the urn to enter the city. However, they were worthy of being the largest city in Lingnan. When they stepped into the city gate, they could feel a prosperous atmosphere rushing towards them.

The road network of Guangzhou City is much more complex than that of Leizhou City. The main street is a "three vertical and two horizontal" pattern. With Chengxuan Street as the central axis, the two horizontal main streets are: Huiai Street and Huifu Street, and the other two

The main streets of the longitudinal section are clearly divided into: Dabeimenzhi Street and Xiaoshi Street to the west, and Xiaonanmenzhi Street to Dezheng Street to the east.

Like Leizhou City, Hengjie is more noble than Zongjie.

Huiai Street to the west is the gathering place for government yamen, and the Nanhai County and County Schools are all here, including the Guangdong Dusi, Guangdong Censorate and Guangdong Provincial Administration Office, as well as the Guangzhou Government Office and Guangdong Dixuedao.

, the Censorate and other important yamen.

Huifu Street, which is connected by Huiai Street, also has some government yamen, such as Guangdong Salt Course Tingjusting Office, Guangzhou Prefecture Academy, Chenghuang Temple, Panyu County Yamen, Panyu County School, etc.

Lin Qingran came in from the west gate, and in front of him was Huiai Street full of power. In front of him were the Nanhai County Government and the County School, but many scholars were seen in and out of the county government.

Since February is nearly and it is the annual county examination period, many scholars go to Guangzhou City to participate in the county examination. If the prefecture examination is in April, candidates from the fourteen counties in the prefecture will undoubtedly be more lively by then

.

Lin Qingran was dressed in an ordinary scholar's outfit, and a jade pendant that Hu Niu bargained at a street stall around her waist. She had no wealth, just like a scholar who was about to take the county exam.

It is now late in the first lunar month, and he needs to go to the General Secretary and the Censor to meet his two superiors, Wang Bai and Ding Yizhong, and then finalize the auspicious day for taking office, so that he will officially take office as the governor of Guangzhou.

According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, new officials should avoid the first month, May and September when taking office, three "fire" months. If Lin Weiran wants to avoid the first month, there will be some days before taking office.

Lin Weiran came all the way like a mountain and a waterfall. He also took the time to visit the prefect of Gaozhou and the prefect of Zhaoqing. Naturally, he was not in a hurry. After entering the city, he asked Lin Dabiao and others to settle down at the inn first, just with him.

Hu Niu, Ali, Rice Gon and Tiezhu are about to hang out in the city.

"Brother, follow me!"

Hu Niu waved her hand and led the way in front.

She came to Guangzhou City several times far higher than Lin Qingran, and she seemed extremely familiar with this city. On the way, she followed Lin Qingran to tell her that the food was delicious, as if she was a good person.

Lin Qingran looked at the hurried little figure helplessly, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he followed.

Go ahead along Huiai Street, then turn right into Xiaoshi Street. The road conditions here are indeed more complicated than Leizhou City, but they also turn into an unknown alley. Only then did they find the room that Hu Niu mentioned

Porridge shop.

This porridge shop is in the alley, with the layout of the front and back houses. When you enter here, you can smell the aroma of porridge. However, the porridge shop only has a "porridge" flag and does not have any store name.

"A few guests want... you guys?"

The shop owner was wearing an ordinary plain cotton coat. He was a thin but honest young man. He wiped the table and was about to greet the guests. But his eyes fell on Hu Niu's face, and then he looked at him with lingering fear.

The rice jar was smiling and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly a few times.

Rice Gon was a little proud and patted the bag hard and said, "Don't worry! I brought buns this time, but you have to help me heat it up!"

"Shopkeeper, give us...one, two, three, four, four bowls of top scholars and the first porridge. In addition, I will give you a hundred cents to fill the rice bowl. How about it?" Hu Niu sat down and immediately

He counted the heads and said crisply to the owner.

The owner took the buns from the rice jar, but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since you all brought buns, he must have eaten a lot of twelve bowls. This time, the number of bowls is counted, and if it exceeds the price, it will still be counted as mine!"

Lin Qingran looked at the rice bowl and remembered Hu Niu's amazing feat of Hu Niu for 100 cents to eat twelve bowls of porridge, which almost caused the owner's eyes to fall to the ground.

In this way, this shop is about this shop, and the owner is undoubtedly a kind person.

Not long after, the shop owner brought the hot No. 1 prize and the porridge.

The top scholar and the porridge were related to the human ethics and literary story of Nanhai County. Because of his poor family when he was young, he had to make a living by growing vegetables and selling vegetables.

The owner of a porridge shop in Guangzhou cherishes his talent and pitys his youth, so he buys a load of vegetables from Lun Wenxu's home every day. When Lun Wenxu delivers vegetables to the porridge shop, the boss will use the remaining ingredients and raw materials.

White porridge, ginger, green onion and other seasonings are added for free for Lun Wenxu to eat.

Later, Lun Wenxu won the top scorer, and when he returned home in glory, he went to see the boss. The boss was also a smart businessman, so he was named "The Top Scholar and the No. 1" by Lun Wenxu.

Lun Wenxu's career was smooth and he was promoted to Hanlin Academy to attend the Hanlin Academy. However, when he was the chief examiner of Yingtian Examination, he fell ill on the way back and finally died in the capital at the age of 47.

After the shop owner brought the porridge, he did not leave immediately, but instead talked on his own initiative: "My name is Huangmi. From your accent, are you from western Guangdong?"

"We are from Shicheng, Gaozhou Prefecture!" Hu Niu was a man who couldn't hide his words. While bloating with her pink cheeks, she also had time to answer the owner's questions.

Huang Mi's eyes were slightly brighter, and she asked with a smile: "You and Mr. Lin Lei are fellow villagers! But I don't know, do you know Mr. Lin Lei? Is he really a great official?"

"The place in Shicheng is not small! Just like you are from Nanhai, do you know your ancestors and Lun's top scholar?" Lin Weiran did not want to reveal his identity and said with a smile in front of Hu Niu.

"This young master, my ancestors really know Lun's top scholar!" Huang Mi nodded seriously, and then said seriously: "My grandfather runs a porridge shop. He also bought a lot of vegetables from Lun Wenxu back then, which is a bit awkward.

What about fate!”

"Haha, we don't know Mr. Lin Lei, and we are not familiar with him either!" Lin Xuran did not expect that things would be so coincidental, but he did not want to reveal his identity.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Huang Mi's eyes, and she looked like she wanted to speak but stopped. However, she said inexplicably: "The world is as dark as a crow!" After that, she turned around and walked away.

Lin Qingran thought he was pointing at the mulberry and slander, but he looked up at his face, but his expression was not similar. At this time, he found that the owner's face was not fetal spots, but some bruises.

"My husband, save...wuwu!"
