Chapter 10
It started raining again in Jiangnan. Tang Bohu sat in the attic of his own tavern, sitting side by side with Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming, staring at Yu Jing in a daze. Usually, this state of Tang Bohu will last for several hours.
"Bohu, do you think there are really gods in the sky?" Zhu Zhishan looked at the heavy rain all over the city with his eyes blankly.
"There is nothing in the sky except rain and fog." Tang Bohu also replied with his eyes unconsciously.
"Tsk!" Zhu Zhishan changed his seat, "It seems that you have been to the sky."
Tang Bohu had a smile on his lips. He had not taken the plane before traveling through the journey hundreds or dozens of times. There were some things in the sky that people would know hundreds of years later.
"Dare you sure you are Tang Yin, Mr. Tang?"
A strange voice came from behind the three of them, and Tang Bohu looked back and seemed to be a minor official.
Tang Bohu stood up and bowed and said, "Didn't ask for advice..."
"A small official under the magistrate's rank, I'll invite Mr. Tang to go to the magistrate Zhang's rank for a while!" The small official also bowed politely and said.
"I'll go with Brother Tang." Zhu Zhishan followed.
The little official said again: "Prince Zhang only invited Mr. Tang to go!"
"There should be no big deal, I'll go back." Tang Bohu asked Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming to inform his parents, and followed the tiny official out of the tavern with an umbrella, walking all the way on the drizzling Jiangnan path. The rain in Jiangnan was very soft and quiet.
"Please come in!"
Tang Bohu walked into this large mansion with a sound. The layout here is very particular! Although it is simple, it is also very interesting. Through the rain curtain, Tang Bohu saw ** sitting in the corridor drinking.
"Tang Yin, a grass-roots person, met the prefect!" Tang Bohu compiled.
"Sit." ** put down the wine glass and Tang Bohu sat in front of him.
"Tang Bohu, I have something I need to do." ** took out a letter and said, "I hope you can hand over this seal to Changzhou Huafu."
"Changzhou?" Tang Bohu took the letter and said awkwardly when he saw it, "Does Lord Zhang want me to go on a long trip?"
"The officialdom in Jiangnan seems calm, but in fact it is undercurrent!" ** sighed: "I want to be a good official. Suzhou City is a big city with fish and rice. It is rich and has become a good place for many people to make money! But there are too many eyes staring at my every move. Tang Yin, you are a smart person. I believe you can understand."
"Mr. Zhang handed me this letter because I was smart?" Tang Bohu took the cup and poured a glass of wine for himself and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will quit halfway?"
"You give me a try?"
"The grass-roots dare not!" Tang Bohu said again: "But I can't understand why Lord Zhang is worried about Changzhou."
"The East Factory, the two jackals, tigers and leopards of Jinyiwei went to Jiangnan, in addition to completing the construction of the West Lake River embankment as explained by His Majesty today! Although our officials in Jiangnan are both independent and guard against each other, they can also be in the same spirit as the forces north of the Yangtze River. There are some news in the capital that I cannot ignore."
"The Chinese Bachelor of Huafu is also a prominent family in Jiangnan. He has always been in good faith with me! As long as you hand over the letter to the Chinese people in Huafu, they will naturally understand."
A name immediately appeared in Washington, Washington, Tang Bohu's memory: Qiuxiang!
"If you can accomplish this, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will remember your kindness. There are many people around me who are unclean. The complexity of the officialdom will affect the whole body. Only by leaving this matter to you can I feel at ease! Because you are smart enough."
Changzhou Prefecture is close to Suzhou, and it was also called Wuxi in later generations. It only takes two days to get there by riding a fast horse.
"Mr. Zhang is planning to give me a date." Tang Bohu smiled: "I don't know if this date is bitter or sweet."
"Hehe..." ** smiled and scolded: "Tang Yin, Tang Yin, you know you are a little slippery! Now I think about the benefits. As long as you are successful, when you become an adult, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, our Jiangnan official meeting jointly recommends you!"
"A gentleman's appointment!" Tang Bohu raised his glass.
"Never go back on your word!" **Clicked the glasses.

Tang Guangde looked at his son in surprise: "The magistrate wants you to go to Changzhou?"
"Yeah!" Tang Bohu replied in a mouthful of rice: "I'll leave tomorrow and I'll be back in a few days."
"Mom is going to pack your bags for you." Tang's mother stood up and said.
"Brother is back to bring you something delicious." Tang Bohu said to his sister.
"I want to eat the flower cake!" Tang Yue looked at her brother and said with a look.
There are mountains and rivers like ink and wash in the south of the Yangtze River, and the scenery outside Suzhou City after a day and a night is crystal clear.
Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan, and Tang Bohu were wearing clean silk clothes and sunglasses, riding horses side by side in the sun, walking slowly on the pipes outside Suzhou City.
"Brother Tang, sunglasses are a different style." Zhu Zhishan likes the sunglasses given by Tang Bohu very much.
Tang Bohu had a ponytail that was quickly neatly, and the thin bangs on his forehead fluttered in the wind and replied with a smile: "I am so handsome. In order not to make thousands of girls crazy, I don't cover up a little and let those little girls live."
"Then, don't you wear someone who is not handsome like me?" Wen Zhengming turned to look at Tang Bohu.
Tang Bohu pointed at Wen Zhengming with a fan: "You are too ugly. What should you do if you scare others without covering them? What should you do if you affect the city appearance and get arrested by the government."
"Ah hahahaha! She looks so ugly...hahaha." Zhu Zhishan smiled while covering his belly.
"My last name is Zhu! Smile softly." Wen Zhengming cursed with a smile: "Laughter can make people angry. What if you can't breathe and laugh to death? I'm worried about your second half of your life."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The three scholars talked and laughed all the way, getting closer and closer to Changzhou and Huafu.
"Is this Changzhou Prefecture?" Zhu Zhishan lowered his Mo family and showed his thief's eyes: "It's much worse than our Suzhou."
"This brother is so bad!" The stranger dressed in a scholar also stood beside the three of them, looking at Changzhou Prefecture and said: "If you want to talk about Jiangnan literature, Mo, Suzhou and Hangzhou, you will naturally be the leader, but if you want to talk about Jiangnan beauties, you must be Changzhou!"
"Oh?" Hearing the beauty Zhu Zhishan, he immediately became interested, "Dare you ask this brother, is there anything more beautiful in this Jiangnan beauty besides that Zhong Linger?"
"If you want to see all the beauties in the world, you will never be as good as those of a bad wife." Wen Zhengming said: "Brother, don't be obsessed with the Tao."
"Before I'm not a bad wife, it's not a waste of time to look at the beauty more!" Zhu Zhishan put his sunglasses in a straight face and shook his fan very much: "My brothers, let's meet those Jiangnan beauties when you follow me!"
Three young men in their prime travel together to enter this beautiful town of Jiangnan.
