After passing Lingnan, you don’t feel cold anymore even in the dead of winter.
At this time, there were many wild flowers blooming on a forest path, and a swarm of bees were buzzing on them.
The wild flowers are mixed with yellowing weeds, and there are still a few drops of water hanging on the weeds. There was a sound of horse hooves on the path, and after a while, two horses, one red and one white, ran over. Although the sound of horse hooves was loud, it did not affect the bees on the wild flowers at all.
Jingzhou stayed at Guiyun Village for two nights and then took Huang Rong on the road to Xiangyang.
Although Huang Yaoshi was reluctant to give up, he was also happy to see his daughter have more contact with Jing Zhou.
Before leaving, he shamelessly asked Jing Zhou to leave two words. He planned to hang these two paintings in his study for collection.
The Seven Jiangnan Monsters and Mei Chaofeng understood their hatred, and Guo Jing also followed the Seventh Duke. If he was lucky, he might still be able to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
"Boss, do you think the old man with the white beard is a liar?"
"That's right, liar, you're so awesome, you didn't even notice it!"
Huang Rong didn't believe it. She had seen everything that happened that day with her own eyes.
The old man with the white beard walked away with a large vat in front of everyone.
These eyes can't be deceiving!
Huang Rong hit the horse's head with the dog's tail, turned her head, and asked: "How did the old man lie? Yesterday I asked my father, and my father said that the Iron Palm Gang was the leader of the Hunan Iron Palm Gang, which dominated Huguang Two places. It has become famous in the world more than 20 years ago, and its iron sand palm is even more powerful than Splitting the Sky Palm."
Jingzhou knew that this girl didn't believe it, so he smiled and said: "What you see with your eyes may not be true. If you have a chance to meet that old man again, I will expose him for you, and you will know." After saying that, Jingzhou stopped talking. The words left Huang Rong with only a meaningful smile.
Huang Rong said in confusion: "Hearing with the ears is false, seeing with the eyes is belief. Could it be that the eyes can still deceive people?"
"drive!"
Jing Zhou held a bamboo pole in his right hand and placed a carrot in front of the horse's head. He held the horse's belly between his legs and ran out in a hurry.
Not to mention, hanging a carrot in front of the horse's head made the horse run more vigorously. It used to run eight hundred a day, but now it can still run more than a thousand a day.
If you want a horse to run fast, you can't just rely on whipping.
Use carrots today and green radish tomorrow and see which one makes the horse run faster.
"Boss, you are such a boring person. You only have half the ability to speak! How did the old man lie to you? Just wait for me~"
Now Huang Rong knew why Jingzhou asked for a carrot at the inn before, but this guy only wanted one and didn't ask for one for himself. It was really annoying!
He glanced down at his little red horse and whipped it twice with a whip, but it still didn't catch up to the little white horse in front of him, and the distance became wider and wider.
"Humph, what's the point of being awesome? I just run fast! When we get to the inn again, I want a carrot too!"
"This girl not only wants carrots, but also Chinese cabbage and purple melon. Let's see how proud you are!"
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
The two of them headed west from Guiyun Villa, and it took more than ten days before they arrived at Xiangyang City.
At this time, Xiangyang City was an important city in the Southern Song Dynasty. Not only did the city have high walls and thick walls, but there were also soldiers standing on the walls.
Huang Rong saw a group of people gathering at the city gate from a distance, seeming to be discussing something, and couldn't help but said: "Master, look at how lively it is there."
Jingzhou nodded slightly and said casually: "It's lively, right? Wherever there are people, there are always rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, how can there be less excitement?"
Only children like Nezha, Tianming, and Calabash like to join in the fun. Who among the adults comes first?
"How can this be the same? Maybe it's something interesting. Wasn't the last contest for marriage the same?"
After saying that, Huang Rong drove her horse over alone. She was particularly concerned about such lively things.
After walking in, Huang Rong saw clearly that there was a young man dressed as a scholar among the group of people. He was explaining to the people around him: "This notice is about a great talent. This great talent is incredible. , it actually alarmed the officials, and now there is news from the palace that the officials want to see that great talent!"
Hearing the scholar's words, several people next to him took a hissing breath, and one of them, dressed as a businessman, asked: "Luo Xiucai, who is this great man, and what ability can he bring to the attention of the officials? "
For ordinary people, being a scholar, peasant, industrialist, or merchant, being able to get into the eyes of an official would mean reaching the sky in one step, saving them decades of hard study!
"Yes, yes! Who can catch the eye of an official!"
Who wouldn’t yearn to climb the ladder and wear a red robe this morning?
The scholar named Luo smiled and said mysteriously: "By the way, you also know this great talent."
"We also know? Luo Xiucai, please don't say anything casually!"
"Yes, if I, Old Liu, thought he was such a great talent, I would be able to run those shabby businesses!"
"Luo Xiucai, stop being so pretentious and tell me who this great talent is!"
Luo Xiucai was the only one in the group who could understand the notice. Although they didn't believe Luo Xiucai's words, they had no choice but to urge him to quickly tell what was written on the notice.
Seeing everyone's disbelief, Luo Xiucai said loudly: "Hey, I didn't lie to you. This great talent is the most famous person in the world recently!"
"What, it's this unexpected guest in the world! This person has become very famous recently! It is said that he is the best in writing, or something, who is from the Song Dynasty..."
"But that person who made the little lady in Cuiyan Tower cry every night? Speaking of this, I feel unlucky. When I went to Cuiyan Tower that day, I just asked a young lady to sing a song, and she didn't even sing a few lines. Then he started sobbing, all this money was wasted!"
"Isn't it just that person? I still remember the top card of Yanhua Pavilion. Last night, I sang about a pair of people for a lifetime, which is called two ecstasies. This poem was written by Jinghongke! Those lyrics were written by Jinghongke! What a little lady, she cries after singing just two lines, it’s really disappointing!”
Luo Xiucai secretly cursed "a vulgar businessman and an ignorant savage". It doesn't matter if he has a lot of money. If he doesn't read the books of sages, he can't escape vulgarity. Then he can't appreciate the elegant poetry and books!
Luo Xiucai was extremely impressed by this unexpected guest in the world. Not only had he heard those poems, but he had also seen the thin gold strokes. It was really pleasing to the eye after reading it.
Nowadays, it is said that the authentic works passed down from the north are sold for a fortune.
Huang Rong listened for a while and then understood what was going on. She quickly ran to Jing Zhou and mysteriously leaned into Jing Zhou's ear and whispered: "My boss, something good happened! I'm afraid you don't know it yet, but you are already famous." Here! This official has issued a notice saying that he wants to see you!"
"Oh? So what?"
