Liaozhai Great Sage

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang became even happier.

"Sister Chunhua, you are also a person with a hard life. From now on, you will serve the young master well with the young master. The young master is a good person and kind-hearted. You must listen to the young master in everything." Aunt Wang instructed again.

"Oh, I see." Du Chunhua replied.

"Let's go."

Li Xiuyuan carried Du Chunhua onto the horse, took a ride together, and galloped out of the village with her.

Chapter 100 Crossing the River

Picking up Du Chunhua was a worry.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Die and Du Chunhua were sitting beside each other, looking at each other from time to time, as if they were guessing each other's identity.

Not long after Xiaodie entered the mansion, she didn't know the situation around Li Xiuyuan.

Du Chunhua is just an ordinary woman in Xiahe Village, she only knows that Li Xiuyuan used to practice martial arts in the Taoist temple on the mountain, and she doesn't know if there is a concubine by her side or not.

Now that the two of them are sitting in the same car, waiting by the young master's side, it's inevitable that they will think wildly.

Li Xiuyuan began to review the previous Four Books and Five Classics, classics and classics, in preparation for the examination of talents.

Xiaodie didn't dare to disturb Du Chunhua, but quietly sorted out his books and packed his luggage. They were obviously gentle and virtuous women.

"Young master, we've reached the riverside."

In the afternoon, when the carriage stopped, everyone came to the riverside.

If you take the official road to the city, the speed is very fast.

After crossing this river, you will arrive at Guobei City.

Only then did Li Xiuyuan put down the scroll and stepped out of the carriage.

Looking at the big river in the distance and the boats docked at the ferry, he said, "Go rent a boat, let's cross the river."

"Yes, young master." A guard answered, took a few people and went to rent a boat.

Li Xiuyuan waited for a while, but didn't wait for the guards to come. A few scholars passing by saw him, came over and greeted him warmly.

"Hey, isn't this brother Li? It's such a coincidence that we met here." A scholar seemed to know Li Xiuyuan, so he hurried over and saluted him.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little surprised: "Wang Ping, it's you? Aren't you preparing for the exam in the city? Why are you here?"

Wang Ping coughed twice, and said with some embarrassment: "It's very boring to study hard, so go to the river with your friends to enjoy the scenery and relax."

"So that's the case." Li Xiuyuan nodded. It seems that Wang Ping is also a person who knows how to combine work and rest.

"I forgot to introduce you, this is Brother Li, the son of the Li family in Guobei County, Li Xiuyuan." Wang Ping immediately introduced to the three or five friends around him: "Brother Li, this is Brother Zhong, Zhong Qingxu, This is Brother Zhu, Zhu Yu, and this is..."

He introduced them one by one.

"These are the same as Brother Li and the next one, they are all here to participate in the scientific examination."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and gave a salute: "Everyone is polite."

Several scholars also returned a salute very politely.

"Looking at Brother Li standing by the river for a long time, I'm afraid he was waiting for a chartered boat to cross the river."

A scholar named Zhu Yu said with a smile: "Brother Li, I'm afraid you don't know. It's the time of the hospital examination, and there are many colleagues who rent boats to cruise the river. Right now, all the larger boats on the river are rented out. , the rest are a few small boats, which are difficult to ferry people."

"Thank you for reminding me, no wonder my guards haven't come back after renting a boat." Li Xiuyuan said.

"It's easy to handle. Brother Li, if you don't mind, come with us. It just so happens that we're going back to the city after our tour," Zhu Yu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There are a lot of servants in the same company, but it's not easy to bother you."

Wang Ping said: "Brother Li, our boat is not small, even with a dozen servants, we can get on it. Brother Li, don't evade our good intentions."

A dozen servants?

There are nearly a hundred guards accompanying Li Xiuyuan this time.

People who don't know think that the army is traveling.

"If that's the case, I'll disturb everyone." Li Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, and couldn't delay, so he agreed.

Turning around, he ordered a few times, he only brought two guards to carry the ceremony, and Xiaodie and Du Chunhua accompanied him, and let them stay behind.

The guards felt that only two people were too few, and felt that it was necessary to add more people, but Li Xiuyuan refused.

What happened to Mr. Montenegro made these people too cautious. Although there are many monsters and ghosts in this world, there are only a handful of them that can really threaten them.

It doesn't make sense that you can meet a thousand-year-old monster by walking alone.

The guards couldn't persuade them, so they complied with Li Xiuyuan's wishes, and picked two strong bodyguards with the highest martial arts skills to stay, and the others planned to go back to report.

"Eh, this girl is Brother Li's concubine?" Suddenly, Zhu Yu glanced at Xiaodie who got off the carriage, and said in surprise.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Exactly, what's the problem?"

Zhu Yu said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I made Brother Li laugh, but I think this family member of Brother Li looks familiar, maybe I made a mistake."

Xiaodie looked a little nervous and hid behind Li Xiuyuan.

She came out of a brothel in the city, and after showing her face several times, it was inevitable that she would be recognized.

Soon a group of people boarded an antique painting boat, which seemed to be specially rented by this group of scholars for today's play.

There are singers playing and singing the pipa on the painting boat, so there is such a taste of play.

"Boater, hurry up and set sail, take us to the other side." Wang Ping shouted.

The boatman was an elderly man, he answered the call and rowed to the river bank with another boatman.

On the cabin, several scholars were talking about today's trip with great interest, who wrote some good poems, who said some good words, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious for a while.

Li Xiuyuan was a bit out of place, he just sat aside with his maidservant, and didn't participate in it.

Although he is a scholar, his personality is not at all close to that of a scholar. Although he knows a thing or two about poetry and poetry, he is not very interested.

"Brother Li, look, brother Zhu just wrote a line of poetry, how do you see it?" At this time, Wang Ping smiled and walked over with a piece of rice paper that had just been written.

Zhu Yu said modestly: "I just got inspiration and wrote fragmented poems, which made everyone laugh."

"It's a good poem and prose. It's safe to have this literary talent." Li Xiuyuan smiled, but said a few perfunctory words.
