Bao Zheng walked out of the Bao family's house with a shy face. It was early in the morning, but there were not many people on the street. Bao Zheng walked on the street like a wandering in the garden, smelling the fresh air that could not be smelled in the twenty-first century in the sky, and couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy.

As he walked, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Girl, what's your name? I was so ashamed that I took the girl's hand rashly yesterday. In fact, I had wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you."

The maid was shocked when she heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground and said stammeringly: "I have always been the young master. I am serving the maid in daily life. Yesterday, you, Master, you, took my hand, and my wife didn't ask me to continue serving you. Last night, the lady talked to me, for a long time, Master, I dare not drive me away in the future."

Bao Zheng didn't expect that the maid was so scared by his words. It seemed that the ancient hierarchy was really harmful. Those who were slaves and servants really had no status at all.

Bao Zheng stepped forward and reached out to help Lan'er up. He felt that when Lan'er touched Bao Zheng, she felt soft and trembling. I don't know if she was afraid or nervous. It seemed that Bao Zheng had done something bad again this time.

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Lan'er, don't worry. This young master will not only not drive you away, but also let your father increase your monthly money. You will continue to serve my daily life in the future. I see that you are smart and I have many things to ask you to help me in the future. Today I am in a good mood, so you can accompany me to visit Luzhou Prefecture with all your heart.

After hearing what Bao Zheng said, Lan'er finally felt much more relaxed. The stern young master Bao, who used to be, has changed. Since he fell into the water, Young Master Bao has become closer to human accidents and knows how to care for others. Thinking of these, Lan'er couldn't help but blush and followed Bao Zheng with a twisted look.

Luzhou Prefecture is located between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, on the shore of Chaohu Lake, and through the Nanfei River, it connects the river and the sea. It has the important location advantage of connecting the east and west, connecting the Central Plains, and connecting the north and south. Luzhou Prefecture is Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province in the 21st century. It has distinct four seasons, mild climate and moderate rainfall.

It was autumn, the wind was refreshing, and it made people feel happy. Bao Zheng walked in the capital for a long time, and before he knew it, a river appeared before his eyes. Based on the geography knowledge he had learned before, Bao Zheng guessed that this was the Nanfei River. The Nanfei River was the mother river of Hefei, and was called the Shishui River in the Song Dynasty. The Shishui River was not wide, only twenty-seven or eight feet away.

There was a huge stone arch bridge in front of me, because there were not many people on the bridge in the morning. Bao Zheng climbed the bridge and saw that there were green shades on both sides of the water, and the water surface was clear and clean, which made Bao Zheng feel like he was going to pick it up and take a sip.

Bao Zheng stood at the bridge and couldn't help but sing: "The stone bridge was swept clean without moss, and the green shade by the river was like cutting. Use water to mow the city to surround the bridge, and the autumn mood blew in the wind and autumn."

At this moment, two cheers sounded at the same time in the lake and on the bridge.

The sound of water was surging under the bridge. I didn't notice it just now, and a cruise ship had already appeared under the bridge. The daughter of Zhang Magistrate of Luzhou was standing on the cruise ship. She was just now applauding.

There were three people and a donkey on the bridge. One of the three people was wearing a green and white bearded old man in a hand-carrying wine pot, and a square face with a white shirt. The donkey was sitting on the donkey. He was about twelve or twelve years old. The boy was full of energy and was waving a folding fan in his hand, and his noble spirit couldn't help but reveal his nobleness. It was this boy who was just praised just now.

The lady Zhang on the boat said to Bao Zheng on the bridge: "Last time we met by chance, the servant pushed Mr. Bao into Daishan Lake by chance. Today, he saw Mr. Wuyang, so he felt relieved. When he met him again today, he must apologize to Mr. Bao in person. If he didn't dislike him, why not get on the boat and talk to him, how about it?"

The young man in gorgeous clothes was also shocked when he saw Miss Zhang's beautiful face on the boat. He put the paper fan in his hand, patted the palm of his hand a few times, and bowed to the boat: "Since the girl has invited this talented man and is in Longzhen in Bianjing, she also admires the talented man's talent and the fairy face of the girl. If she can allow it, I hope to join the talented man on the boat and talk to you.

Bao Zheng didn't expect that this young man was only the age of the general, and he was speechless. Miss Zhang frowned on the boat. Bao Zheng was also an acquaintance, and his father and Bao Zheng's father were colleagues, so it was reasonable to ask Bao Zheng to board the boat. However, those three strangers have never lived for life, and Miss Zhang was inevitably hesitant as a woman.

The old man in the wine pot on the shore smiled and said, "Miss, you can rest assured. We are either old or young, and we don't look like evil people. If my young master is lucky enough to talk to the two talents today, it would be a waste of our trip to Luzhou Prefecture. If the girl refuses, then the people of Luzhou Prefecture will be really cold-eyed. It seems that the three of us have stepped on the wrong place and walked the wrong way."

The old man took Miss Zhang into the army in a few words. If Miss Zhang objected, she would admit that the people in Luzhou Fucheng were indifferent and ruthless. Miss Zhang’s father was the magistrate here, so he would not slap himself in the face. The three old men were not like bad people, so Miss Zhang nodded and allowed them to come up. Bao Zheng wanted to get on the boat, so naturally he would not go back too early. In order to prevent his parents from worrying, Bao Zheng told Lan'er behind him and asked him to go home first to inform his parents, and he would not go back later. Lan'er turned around obediently and went back to report.

When Bao Zheng saw Lan'er walking away, he immediately got on the boat first. The young man in a uniform and the old man lived behind him. However, the young man did not get on the boat, but led a donkey on the shore.

This boat is a double-decker cruise ship. On the second floor, a maid had already worshipped some fruit and snacks, and tea was even placed on the table.

Several people went up to the second floor and sat down according to the guest and the host. The old man said first: "To meet Mr. Bao today and get to know Miss Zhang, I am really lucky. However, I just heard Mr. Bao chanting at the river and chanting such a beautiful sentence so quickly. I am so talented and full of literary thoughts."

Bao Zheng bowed and said, "Sir, don't make fun of the younger generation. I see that the old man has the word Kou engraved on the wine pot in his hand. Could it be that the old man's surname is Kou? Why did this young man Long come to Luzhou Prefecture with the old man? If it's just for a tour, the younger man Bao can be a guide."

The old man laughed and said, "Brother, you are not only extremely talented, but also very observant. I don't speak, you already know what my surname is. That's right, I am Kou Xier Kou Zhun, who is known as a pot of old vinegar, and now he is dismissed from office and is rushing back to his hometown to farm with his adopted son Kou Sui. However, this Mr. Long met me a few days ago. He just wanted to ride a donkey and walk around the world. After seeing it, he happened to play with me and walked all the way."

After hearing the old man's words, Ms. Zhang immediately exclaimed: "Sir, is it the same as the subordinate of the Secretariat of the State and the Minister of the State. I didn't know Mount Tai just now, so I hope Lord Kou must not be surprised."

Bao Zheng was even more shocked at this time. The old man in front of him was actually Kou Laoxier, who was famous all over the world. He was a sensible figure in history. Emperor Zhenzong of Song had demoted his position several times and invited him back several times. The frequent ups and downs were really the first person in ancient and modern times. But Kou Zhun was most famous for his efforts to support Zhenzong to personally conquer the Great Liao Dynasty and resist foreign enemies, so that the Northern Song Dynasty avoided being destroyed by the Liao Kingdom. Later, due to Zhenzong's weakness, Zhenzong signed the Chanyuan Alliance with the Liao Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty gave Liao an annual monies of 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk, which brought the century-long peace between the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty.
