Chapter 285 Meeting by the River
In the early morning, Xu Xiuwen walked on the bustling streets of Beijing.
"Sir, the capital is really lively!" Xiaosi followed Xu Xiuwen with his bag on his back and looked around.
Xu Xiuwen waited for the newly appointed county magistrate, and after handling the handover of official duties, he rode a donkey all the way to the capital.
That's right, we rode a donkey all the way to Beijing. There were only three simple bags for two people and one donkey.
Xiaosi looked around at the carriages driving around, then at the donkey he was holding, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional:
"Sir, when you are transferred to the capital and take up your post, you will be the only one riding the donkey."
Xu Xiuwen didn't take it seriously, he was still in high spirits, looked around and said:
"Didn't you tell me? Your young master has a lot of money, and he has no official position. If he doesn't ride on a donkey, it's hard to go all the way to the capital. What's more, the scenery along the way is so beautiful."
"Sir, if you hadn't given your money to others, we would have had some money, and we wouldn't have been able to eat steamed buns and water every day."
He knew that the young master was kind-hearted, he was the young master who saved him from the bully, and he felt sorry for the young master.
"Officials are supposed to work for the welfare of the people. How can we not help the people when they are in trouble? Besides, the money is not much." Xu Xiuwen didn't feel bad at all.
"Sir, it's too hard for you. With Dabi in front of you, you have to take good care of yourself."
"With you taking care of me, what else can I worry about? The imperial court attaches great importance to this competition. If I can bring glory to the country, and the emperor will reward me, you can follow me and enjoy the good life."
"I'm afraid you can't hide the money."
Xu Xiuwen smiled and did not respond. He walked along the moat and looked across the river. Pedestrians were passing by in an endless stream on the bridge not far away.
"Let's cross the bridge. There's a hot noodle stall on the opposite side."
"Hey, come on, you can't eat this." Xiao Si pulled the donkey to one side and chewed on the wicker stick.
"Ah-uh-ah-uh!"
Xu Xiuwen touched the donkey's head and took off the baggage from the donkey's back.
"I guess I'm hungry. There's grass to eat after crossing the bridge. Let's go."
"Ah-uh-ah-uh!" The donkey finally walked towards the bridge with his hoofs.
The bridge deck has a large curvature, and pedestrians crossing the bridge cannot be seen from the front.
"Be careful, let's go to the side."
When getting off the bridge, an old couple pushed a cart full of sweet potatoes across the bridge. It was difficult to push the cart up the hill. Xu Xiuwen gave the baggage to Xiao Si and rolled up his sleeves to help push it. Xiao Si couldn't help but look at it. Sighed.
"Young Master is so kind." Xiaosi casually hung the baggage on the donkey's head and helped push it together.
"Young man, thank you."
"Old man, it's just a little bit of work, no need to be polite, just push the sweet potatoes to sell." Xu Xiuwen turned around and walked back.
"Where's the baggage?"
"Sir, I'm hanging on the donkey's neck."
The donkey was grazing leisurely on the shore. Xu Xiuwen looked at the donkey's neck, which was empty.
"Hey, where's the baggage? I obviously hung it on the donkey's head." Xiao Si was dumbfounded.
"Look for it quickly."
The two of them looked around on the ground but didn't see anything. Xu Xiuwen looked towards the lake and saw a baggage floating on the water and going away along the current.
"Xiao Wu, you watch the donkey, I'll chase it." Xu Xiuwen quickly chased along the river.
"Sir, you have to be careful."
Shen Jingshu came out of the musical instrument store, holding a piano score in her hand.
"Miss, you came out at the right time today. You have found the music score you have been dreaming of."
"Well, go back quickly." Shen Jingshu was happy, holding the music score that he had been thinking about in his hands and returning like an arrow.
"Ah, miss." The maid patted her head and shouted.
"I left the things I bought in the shop. Miss, please get in the carriage and wait for a while. I will go and get the things back right away."
"Okay, you go get it. I'll sit by the river for a while and wait for you."
"Miss, please be careful, this slave is gone."
Shen Jingshu found a stone bench and was about to sit down when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a baggage stuck between two stones on the river.
Looking towards the front bank, wondering whose baggage accidentally fell into the water, Shen Jingshu found a slender bamboo pole nearby and slowly fished the baggage out of the water with difficulty.
Xu Xiuwen ran along the river and saw a girl reading a book in the pavilion, with his baggage on the table.
Xu Xiuwen politely bowed in the direction of the pavilion.
"Girl, this baggage accidentally fell into the river. May I ask if the girl picked it up from the river? Thank you very much, girl."
Shen Jingshu looked up at the person who came and asked, "This baggage belongs to the young master. What's the proof?"
Xu Xiuwen looked at the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him and was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses:
"Girl, this baggage contains a few poor paintings that I drew. Girl, please open it and verify it."
"No one can tell that this is a painting scroll. I'm afraid these paintings have been damaged by water."
"Girl, we're on our way from Feng County to the capital. We took precautions on the way to avoid rain. The painting should not be damaged at this moment."
Shen Jing wrote the letter for a while, then opened the bag and took out the painting to look at it. It was indeed in good condition. The painting was of Misty Rain Lake in Feng County in winter, and there was a signature on the signature.
A flash of appreciation flashed in Shen Jingshu's eyes, and she pointed at the baggage and said:
"Since it belongs to Young Master Xu, the little girl will be returned to Young Master Xu."
"Thank you, girl." Xu Xiuwen took the soaked baggage and thanked him.
When Huan Chun came back, he saw his young lady and a young man in the pavilion, holding a painting in their hands, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Miss, this slave has brought the things back."
Shen Jingshu returned the rolled painting to Xu Xiuwen, "Sir, the property returns to its original owner."
"Girl, I'm here in the capital for the first time. Please help me. I don't have anything to offer but this poor painting. If you don't mind it, I'll give it to you as a thank you gift."
Xu Xiuwen didn't miss the joy in Shen Jingshu's eyes just now.
"Miss." Huan Chun didn't know what happened to them. A strange man gave a woman something, so it was inevitable that the truth would be true.
"Mr. Xu, it's just a little effort. Thank you very much for your kindness."
"Young lady is elegant. I cannot accept your kindness in vain. Please accept my thank you gift." Xu Xiuwen's attitude was firm.
"Thank you very much, sir." Since he accepted the gift as a thank you, Shen Jingshu glanced at Huan Chun.
"Huan Chun, let's go back. Young Master, take your leave."
Xu Xiuwen got out of the way, "Girl, walk slowly."
Xu Xiuwen watched people get on the carriage and leave.
"Sir, I finally caught up with you. What are you looking at?" Xiao Wu panted and pulled the donkey after him.
"It's okay. Let's report to Honglu Temple first."
"Master, don't you want to eat noodles first?"
"Then go to Honglu Temple after eating."
Talents participating in the Four Kingdoms Competition must go to Honglu Temple to register, and the Yamen will arrange accommodation for talents from far away.
During the competition, contestants from all over the world can freely exchange their knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and spend this exciting four-nation competition together.
