It is different from the time when thousands of people disappeared.
Today, more and more merchants are coming and going on Jizhou's official roads, and Jizhou's business roads are once again as prosperous as in the past.
"Master, when we come here, we don't have to be so leisurely!"
The four of them let their horses go slowly, and Shen Bao couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with the fast trip when I came here, now it can be called a sightseeing tour.
"I am returning to the capital to report on my work. Anyway, Zhiyuan and Mr. Song are in the capital, so of course I am not in a hurry. Such an opportunity is rare!"
What was originally a one-day journey on horseback took the four of them three full days.
Xiao Tao was a calm man, so he took advantage of his break to fill a water bag nearby and asked for directions.
"Sir, the Fengling Ferry is thirty miles ahead!"
Shen Bao also smiled and said, "Yes, that's where we picked up little Yang Guo."
One of Shen Bao's great pleasures now is to tease Yang Guo.
Yang Qingyuan also smiled slightly, "Then let's go to that hotel and have a look! The boss is also a trustworthy person."
The four men gently clamped the horse's belly, and the horse began to trot.
An hour later, Yang Qingyuan and the others saw the rolling river.
------------------
Fengling Town is now as lively as Dadukou in the past, with an endless stream of caravans coming and going.
The small inn is now full of customers.
"Shopkeeper! Since when did you have these inscriptions in your store?"
A merchant who often traveled between the Yellow River and the Yellow River saw the inscription on the wall.
"Nodo's Farewell!"
Although the merchant is not a scholar, he has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot. These four words are vigorous and powerful, with bones in them, and they look extraordinary.
"This was left by a young master a few months ago. He seems to be a scholar and must have been an official."
The shopkeeper is still friendly and welcomes customers from all over the country.
A scholar-looking man on the side looked at the words on the wall and was originally amazed, but when he saw the inscription, he frowned and said.
"Shopkeeper, although the writing on your wall was written by an expert, but using someone else's signature for granted is not what a gentleman does, right?"
The scholar said, pointing to the signature and private seal under the inscription.
"Look at what you said, how can I go out of my way to forge a signature?! Besides, I don't know who Mr. Yang is? What is he doing forging him!?"
The scholar disagreed, "This signature belongs to Mr. Yang Qingyuan, a scholar of the Imperial Academy at that time. If it is authentic, it will be worth thousands of gold."
"Thousands of gold?!"
The boss was also shocked by the scholar's words.
Since ancient times, scholars have more or less had the problem of being a teacher.
When a scholar sees an opportunity to show off his talents, he will certainly not let it go.
"This Master Yang Qingyuan is a Hanlin scholar of the time and was ranked second in the thirteenth year of Yong'an."
Although ordinary people may not necessarily know about the official system of the Zhou Dynasty, the words "Hanlin" and "Bangyan" are familiar terms among the people.
"Although Mr. Yang's articles cannot be considered top-notch, Mr. Yang's poems, criminal laws, policy theories, and clear calculations are all unparalleled in the world. His calligraphy is even more unique. His thin gold calligraphy and running script are unparalleled in the world. Xiaosheng has heard that in this capital, I want to ask Mr. Yang to take action, but even if I don’t say anything, I will have to polish my writing a thousand taels.”
The scholar's words attracted the pedestrians and tourists present.
Among the passers-by, those who had read Yang Qingyuan's poems also spoke in agreement.
"I have also read Yang Xueshi's poems. They are indeed very literary!"
Finally, the scholar concluded, "Shopkeeper, think about it, how could such a person write an inscription in your inn? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"
The innkeeper was a little shaken after hearing the scholar's words. When such a person travels, he must be surrounded by a cloud of entourage.
Although the young master that day had an extraordinary bearing, he only brought two people with him, and he did not act like a high-ranking official in the court.
Is that young man really pretending to be someone else?
Suspicions arose in the shopkeeper's mind, but the gentleman's demeanor and behavior were not like this kind of person!
The shopkeeper did not argue with the customers. When doing business, one should be friendly and make money. This kind of argument is meaningless.
"How is it? I don't know. If that young master passes by again, I will definitely ask for you. Hahaha, all guests, please have a meal first."
"No need to wait! Shopkeeper, just ask me directly."
Just when everyone was about to let go of the matter, a clear voice came from outside the door.
Just when everyone was talking, Yang Qingyuan and the other two people had already arrived outside the door. When they heard that they were talking about themselves inside, Yang Qingyuan slowed down.
When he heard the scholar's conclusive statement that he was a fake, Yang Qingyuan was even more overjoyed.
Having been in this world for many years, Yang Qingyuan has always wanted to pretend to be a cup of tea and show himself a saint in front of others.
But counting carefully, except for the one at An Shigeng's birthday party, Yang Qingyuan had never had such an opportunity. Now that God had given him a good opportunity, how could Yang Qingyuan let it go?!
Immediately tidy up your clothes and enter the hotel.
"Shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a long time. Business is getting better and better."
Seeing the innkeeper, Yang Qingyuan cupped his hands and saluted.
Then Yang Qingyuan turned his attention to the scholar just now.
The innkeeper was also surprised when he saw Yang Qingyuan. He had just talked about Yang Qingyuan's inscription when Yang Qingyuan came.
Before the innkeeper could speak, the wine glass in the hands of the scholar who was sitting down accidentally knocked over. The scholar didn't clean it up and walked straight to Yang Qingyuan's side.
Just when the innkeeper thought a big show was about to begin, Yang Qingyuan thought he had a chance to show his saintliness.
The scholar walked up to Yang Qingyuan and bowed with a long bow.
"Student Yao Yuanzhi, meet Bachelor Yang!!" His tone was full of excitement, as if he was meeting his idol.
This made Yang Qingyuan's heart feel cold, and the opportunity to appear as a saint in front of others seemed to be disappearing.
"you know me?!"
Yang Qingyuan looked at Yao Yuanzhi carefully and confirmed that he probably didn't know this person.
"Sir, you may not know the student."
Yao Yuanzhi also realized that he was being abrupt, and immediately composed himself and began to introduce himself.
"The student was elected in the 16th year of Yong'an. Unfortunately, he had little talent and little knowledge and did not make it to the imperial list. At that time, the student studied at the Guozi Supervisory School and was taught by his teacher. In particular, his book "On Border Defense" analyzed border defense in a clear and logical manner.
, students benefit a lot.”
Now it became clear that Yang Qingyuan had been a Hanlin scholar for five years, and his workplace had been very stable and he had almost no contact with the imperial examination. However, Hanlin bachelors still had one more responsibility, which was to attend classes.
I teach princes and princesses on weekdays, and of course I have also been ordered to give lectures to students in the Imperial College.
Yao Yuanzhi attended classes in the Imperial College, so it makes sense for him to know Yang Qingyuan.
Come on, this Yao Yuanzhi is Yang Qingyuan's little fanboy, and the chance of showing himself as a saint in front of others is completely gone.
The boss on the side also heard that the previous young master was really an amazing person.
After chatting with Yao Yuanzhi, Yang Qingyuan said to the boss beside him: "The boss will prepare a table of food and wine and open four more rooms."
