The northerners were not used to taking boats. Pei Ning and Wang Rong were both authentic northerners. Therefore, Du Shiyi originally planned to go to Jiangling to change to land, but the weather was getting colder and the road was bumpy. After resting for a day, he found out some situations. In the end, Pei Ning proposed to continue to go to Ezhou by water. Naturally, some followers went to the dock to hire a boat. However, on the evening of that day, when Du Shiyi and his party arrived at the dock to prepare for boarding, they heard a call coming from the distance behind him.

"Du Langjun, Pei Langjun"

Du Shiyi turned around and saw a rider flying into the dock, and a few strong horse riders followed a dozen steps behind him. As the man approached, Du Shiyi suddenly recognized that this was clearly the young gentleman she had seen in Shangqing Temple that day. He saw this man jumping down near and bowing, and then said apologetically: "I met him by chance yesterday in Shangqing Temple. I was awkward and didn't recognize Du Langjun. If I hadn't received a post from Du Langjun and Pei Langjun today, I would have missed the two.

Pei Ning had previously promoted the profits of Jiangling Shangqing Temple using Sima Chengzhen's residence, and had never even entered the gate. He was a little surprised when he heard this. The young man obviously knew that he was too anxious. He smiled embarrassedly and quickly explained: "In the morning of Wei Ji, his father, Wei Xuzhou, the chief of Jingzhou, was in charge of Wei Xuzhou.

Du Shiyi had guessed that it was probably the case, so he could not return the favor with a smile and called Wei Langjun, and Pei Ning also returned the favor with a favor. However, the owner who had come to urge the ship to drive the ship was the eldest son of the Shishi. He hurriedly retreated and did not dare to say anything. At this time, Du Shiyi said sincerely: "Since I passed by Jingzhou, I should have paid homage to the envoy Wei, but after all, I was not a public official in Jiangling, and I didn't want everyone from above to know that I was passing by, so I could only send a polite post to see you. I also asked Wei Langjun to report to Wei after he went back and apologize for me."

After hearing Du Shiyi's words, Wei Ji knew that Du Shiyi's group would probably not delay until tomorrow. He was originally coming to see him off on behalf of his father, but at this moment he said readily: "Du Langjun and Pei Langjun are important things, and my father dared not delay it. However, Wei Du's timely friendship, my father asked me to send him off for him, and sent Jiangling rice wine and some collections of articles and poems by famous Jiangling scholars, which were considered to be practiced by the two husbands."

Wei Xuzhou was so sincere as a senior and elder, but he was disrespectful. Du Shiyi and Pei Ning naturally accepted the two gourd rice wine together. As for the two volumes of poems and essays that were among the best in Jingzhou Prefecture Examination this year, it was naturally the top priority. Du Shiyi not only accepted it, but also promised to read it carefully. When the boat was about to start, he saw Wei Ji wave goodbye, and he looked at the dock farther and farther away in the gradually dim sky until he could not see it at all. Pei Ning beside him suddenly said, "The Wei family in Jingzhao is indeed well-deserved."

Du Shiyi also sighed lightly: "So this is the biggest advantage of the aristocratic family over the cold. It has a large number of people and is able to afford to study. Over time, many natural talents emerge."

It was a few days later when the ship arrived in Ezhou. This place was already under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road. Although it was not as prosperous as Jingzhou, it was once the capital of King Sun Quan of Wu. Even hundreds of years later, it is still a Shangzhou with tens of thousands of households. It is only in terms of population, but it cannot be compared with those prefectures and counties in Shu.

While speaking, several guests had already squeezed over to listen to Du Shiyi's explanation. When the old man who had just come to ask about it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Although this man is not old, he is a knowledgeable person, and he also sounds like medical theory. Not bad. Now, in Jingchu, the trend of drinking tea is gradually prevalent. But if you only know how to drink it but not the taboo, you might have a gastrointestinal problem at any time. Alas, why didn't Du Shijiulang add this taboo when he wrote the Tea Sutra?"

For a moment, others also agreed. Faced with this reaction, Du Shiyi's face immediately looked subtle, and Wang Rong and Pei Ning couldn't help laughing. However, Chen Baoer was like a god to Du Shiyi, and immediately asked: "Have you all read the Tea Sutra of Du Shiyu?"

"I have read it and copied the tea scriptures very quickly. Ezhou started half a year ago, and there were people who copied the tea scriptures for others. Those who knew the words even copied the books themselves. However, the method of making tea and brewing is different from each other. The wise man said that the way to drink the tea leaves is sweet and fragrant, but without adding anything else, the aftertaste is a little lighter."

"Who said that it's bland? This is the real drinking tea. Otherwise, adding honey and cinnamon is no different from drinking those sweet soups?"

"Wei Liu, why are you so elegant? Who doesn't know that you like meat the most? This tea is just to reduce fire and remove greasiness."

Seeing that a few people had a fight for a while, Du Shiyi couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Baoer, who had started to ask, did not expect that it would develop into such a situation of blushing with beard and staring. Uneasy, he quickly stood up to persuade both sides. After a long time, he finally comforted the diners. Instead, someone gave him a thumbs up and praised the kind-heartedness of the young man. The guy who started to get away with a long time ago had already escaped before the fight. Now he saw everyone sitting down and then he smiled and delivered the dishes.

Steamed fish, boiled shrimp in salt water, fish head soup, vinegar-slimmed fish bones, scallion and ginger stewed crab meat... I was served one by one, and the table was filled with a full aroma, making people feel very appetizing. Just as the previous hostel introduced, the lake food here was indeed very good. Du Shiyi tasted it one by one, and felt that it had their own strengths compared to the chefs in the north. He didn't feel that he had a big appetite. Even Wang Rong couldn't help but eat half a bowl of rice. When several plates of dishes were all empty, the guests who had just had a dispute in front of everyone had finished eating, and they all smiled and gathered around to talk.

"A few men seem not native to Ezhou? Are they traveling to Ezhou?"

Du Shiyi and his men took their followers, from age to dress, they looked very consistent with the appearance of the scholar-in-law. Therefore, facing this problem, Du Shiyi smiled and pointed at Chen Baoer and said, "We are not here to travel. It's the first time I'm a disciple who went to Sichuan to see the world. I have to let him take a look and walk around."

Just now, Chen Baoer tried to fight anxiously but a little clumsyly. The diners were quite fond of this young man. When they learned that Du Shiyi, who was not much older than him, was actually his commander, everyone was very surprised. At that moment, a scholar who was quite young asked Chen Baoer on the spot with great interest, but Chen Baoer did not feel abrupt and answered one by one. After a few questions, the scholar smiled and said, "This young man is young, but he has a bit of a general. The husband is very lucky and has accepted such a disciple."
