Talk about the world of mortals in detail

In fact, there are not many stopping places for the big ship. Since setting sail from Mingzhou, it has stopped temporarily in Xiaohe Village near Boyungang, and then in another small village.

When the ship docked near Poyungang some time ago, Yi Shuyuan accompanied Yang Bencai to visit the River Temple.

The statues of the river god were all collapsed, but the temple was still open. The broken river god statues in the main hall were cleaned up, and then a banner with a picture of the statue was hung up, saying that they were preparing to replace the statue with a new one.

I have to say that Miao Zhu's ability to change his thinking is indeed strong, but Yang Bencai was disappointed and felt that he was unlucky.

After sailing for about twenty days, the ship finally approached the water port of Chengtianfu.

The river basin has become wider when it is still more than ten miles away from Chengtian Mansion.

At this point, the sailing speed of each ship also began to slow down. In Yi Shuyuan's sight, the surrounding ships gradually became denser.

"Beijing and Hong Kong are almost here——"

A boatman shouted on the deck, which also attracted people in the cabin to come out one after another.

We haven't even arrived at the port yet, but the sails standing nearby are already very spectacular, and the Chengtianfu Port in the distance is even more grand in scale.

Yang Bencai stood next to Yi Shuyuan, obviously very excited at this moment.

"I, Yang Bencai, am here in the capital. Once I am named on the gold medal list, my name will be spread all over the world——"

Yang Bencai shouted like this, and not only the people on the boat were looking at him, but also people on the nearby boats that were slightly closer were looking at him.

Even with Yi Shuyuan's face, he sighed and took two steps away from Yang Bencai.

Under the boat, Lu Yuwei has been following. This time, she did not turn into a carp, but was swimming as a human body.

Lu Yuwei put her legs together and twisted forward like a fish's tail. She didn't even need the assistance of her hands. She could control the direction flexibly by relying only on the flexibility of her body, and her speed was not slow at all.

Yi Shuyuan stood on the side of the boat and glanced underwater with his peripheral vision, thinking that if Lu Yuwei went to the world of his previous life and applied for a mermaid performance position in an aquarium like that, her level would be second to none.

The closer we get to the port of Chengtian Mansion, the denser the ships become, but they are not without order. There are actually some official boats traveling on the river.

One of them was also approaching the big ship where Yi Shuyuan and others were.

The big ship had anchored at this moment, and the height difference between the two ships was eight or nine feet. A bundle of rope ladders was thrown down from the big ship.

Then a turbaned official on the boat climbed up the rope ladder.

As soon as the official came up, the shipowner who had been waiting for a long time rushed over. Yes, it was the old man who collected the shipping fee.

"Master, we are coming from Mingzhou, when will the berth be available?"

The officer glanced around the ship and could see that the ship also carried some passengers, and his eyes paused briefly on Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai, who should be Confucian students rushing to take exams.

"Mingzhou, so the tea must have been shipped? Do you need to return the goods? Have the quantity and estimated stay time been calculated?"

"Go back to Mr. Cha. It's tea. The quantity is not large. It's only half a warehouse. The specific amount and related matters have been recorded here. Please take a look, Mr. Cha."

The steward handed over a note, but Yi Shuyuan, who was not far away, could clearly see that there was something underneath the note, most likely a banknote or something.

The official took the note and rubbed the bottom. He took a quick glance and saw that it was a five-tael silver note from Datong Bank in the capital. He suddenly had a smile on his face.

"Well, I know the rules. I've already written them all down. That saves me a lot of trouble. There aren't any wanted criminals on board, right?"

"Oh my god, what are you talking about? Our boss is a small business. He has repeatedly told me to be careful. How dare you break the law!"

The official smiled.

"Selling tea can still be a small business, you businessmen, hehehehe, let me go down to the warehouse to check, routine is still inevitable!"

"Yes, yes, please!"

The steward extended his hand to invite me.

After the officer finished checking, the officer returned to the deck and handed the steward a wooden sign with "Bingliu" written on it, which represented the berth. He also gave a note and stamped it with the stamp he had brought with him.

"We will enter the port at midnight tomorrow and leave the port at noon the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you are delayed a little bit, but don't go late!"

"I know, I know, thank you Master Cha! Master Cha, go slowly!"

The steward nodded repeatedly.

The officer waved his hand, looked in the direction of Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai and shouted while walking towards the rope ladder.

"There is a decree today. In the spring of this year, the art of war and martial arts will be restored. Those who know how to do it can try it. This decree has been spread, but it should not be widely spread yet."

Decades ago, Dayong's martial arts subjects were replaced by a series of systems mainly based on the recommendation system in the military. There has not been a subject examination for many years, but it makes sense to join again.

In fact, Dayong's imperial examinations also had certain rules to follow. In the year of some hot topics, some things would also be reflected in other imperial examination papers.

For example, if martial arts examinations are resumed in the first year of this year, then there is a high probability that military content will be involved in the Liberal Arts Gongshi Examination, maybe not much, but definitely there will be.

After all, Dayong has always had the tradition of Confucian generals. It is a good story to be able to be both literary and military.

In fact, as soon as you get to the capital, you will definitely know about this kind of thing immediately, but it is still very appreciated to know about it in advance.

Upon hearing this, Yang Bencai quickly handed over his hands and thanked him.

"Thank you for informing me. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known!"

Yi Shuyuan also bowed his hand to this official. Although he was not a candidate, the other party was obviously kind to him.

The officer smiled, waved his hand and went down the rope ladder, while the small boat continued to other cargo ships.

The steward on the ship smiled at Yang Benzai and Yi Shuyuan.

"How about it? It's good to take our boat, right? But young master, aren't you going to Chengtian Mansion?"

Yi Shuyuan stopped smiling. This man had a pretty good memory. Just when he was about to say something, the other party stopped talking. He smiled, waved his hands and turned away.

We can't enter the port during the day today, and we have to wait until tomorrow morning. The people on the ship will start to rest early.

However, the fact that the cargo ship could not enter the port did not mean that the passengers on the ship could not get ashore. Not long after the official boats left, some private boats rowed past these anchored ships.

"Does anyone want to go ashore? Does anyone want to go ashore? Ten copper coins per person, send them to the shore and go directly to the port -"

Someone shouted below, Yi Shuyuan looked at Yang Bencai and said.

"Brother Yang, I'm going to go ashore directly. Do you want to come with me?"

It might not matter to Yi Shuyuan if he waited another day, but Lu Yuwei couldn't wait any longer, but she didn't dare to cast the spell alone.

Yang Bencai shook his head and refused.

"Brother Yi, we have to find a place to stay and food when we get ashore. We can stay on the ship for one night tonight, and Uncle Meng and the others will take care of the food. Why are you in such a hurry to get ashore? Just look at me and read a book on the ship. look!"

No other passengers on the big ship seemed to have any reaction to the early ferry.

Yi Shuyuan smiled and shook his head.

"Then I'll go on my own, boatman - I want to go ashore, row over and wait for a while -"

In the first half of the sentence, Yi Shuyuan spoke to Yang Bencai, and in the second half, he addressed the ferry boat not far away.

"okay--"

After getting the response from the ferry, Yi Shuyuan made a special trip to the stern to say goodbye to Old Man Meng and others. Some boatmen came to the side of the ship, looking a little reluctant to leave.

"Mr. Yi, take care of yourself!" "Sir, where did you buy the medicinal wine? Isn't it really convenient for you to tell me?"

"Oh, don't talk about it anymore. Mr. Yi said it was hard to come by. Even if I tell you, I can't afford it!" "That's true."

"Take care, sir!"

Old Man Meng also bowed and saluted, and there were eight or nine people who sent Yi Shuyuan off. In addition to Yang Bencai and the five boatmen, there were also several other boatmen, all of whom had eaten together.

Yi Shuyuan bowed to everyone in return.

"Don't worry, everyone, Yi can take good care of himself. It's fate that we are on the same boat all the way. Thank you for taking care of me!"

The ferry on one side has also arrived. It is a small boat with a shed. There are already some passengers on it, and there are quite a lot of them.

"Sir, are you the one who wants to get on the boat?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at the people on the big boat and bowed again.

"Everyone, maybe we can meet again in the future. Brother Yang, I wish you a gold medal!"

"Brother Yi, take care!"

Yang Bencai was inspired by the people around him and he also saluted sincerely. Although the other person was not a candidate, having such a well-informed, reasonable and dignified Confucian scholar on board made him less lonely along the way.

"Rumble"

There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, and it seemed like it was going to rain, which made everyone subconsciously look up.

"Okay, let's not let this go!"

After saying that, Yi Shuyuan climbed down the rope ladder that was lowered by the boatman again. After a few steps, he landed on the ferry with a slight jump, causing the bow of the boat to shake slightly.

"Mr. Yi, take care—" "Sir, go to the cabin quickly, it's going to rain—"

The people on the boat were still calling, and with Yi Shuyuan's wave, the boatman on the ferry was already paddling to turn the boat in the direction of getting ready to go to the shore.

Some ripples of water droplets appeared on the river surface, and the raindrops fell sporadically, gradually changing from small to slightly dense.

"Wow, wow, wow."

Light rain fell, and the entire Chengtianfu port was covered with a layer of smoke.

Yi Shuyuan wanted to go into the cabin to take shelter from the rain, but found that the cabin was already full of passengers, and no one wanted to move. He smiled and said nothing, just stood on the bow and watched the big ship that was gradually moving away.

But at this moment, a woman in red walked out of the cabin. She held up the umbrella she opened after leaving the cabin and stood next to Yi Shuyuan.

"How many umbrellas do you have?"

Seeing Yi Shuyuan coming over and asking, Lu Yuwei smiled and stretched out a finger.

"Just a handful!"

Yi Shuyuan originally wanted to use a folding fan to make one, but he felt there was no need to be so pretentious.

Beside the big ship, Yang Bencai, who was about to enter the cabin to take shelter from the rain, suddenly saw this scene and immediately beat his chest and regretted it.

"Oh! I should have known that I would have gone with Brother Yi!"

Just looking at the back of the woman in red made her look as if she was out of the world. She was actually on such a small ferry!

"Rumble--"

Thunder exploded in the sky, making many people tremble.

Yi Shuyuan and Lu Yuwei both looked up at the sky.

"It's the God of Thunder. He's been appearing in the Kaiyang Canal basin for a while. I'm afraid he's looking for something!"

Yi Shuyuan deeply believed what Lu Yuwei said, and he felt more and more that it might have something to do with him.

The jade medal given by the Heavenly Court slipped out of Yi Shuyuan's sleeve. Speaking of which, Cao Yugao, one of the Five Thunder Generals, had made an agreement with him.

I don’t know if Cao Yugao has found his friend.

"Huh? Mr. Yi, what is this?"

Lu Yuwei was actually very nervous when she was holding an umbrella next to Yi Shuyuan. Her heartbeat was much faster. She was just pretending to be relaxed on the surface. When she saw the jade plaque, she would speak quickly to relieve her nervousness.

"Hey, this is the jade plaque sent by the Emperor of Heaven to Sir!"

Hui Mian's voice came from under the hair on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder. Lu Yuwei was slightly startled and nodded, feeling very novel.

"Then why is it on?"

Not long after the jade tablet came into Yi Shuyuan's hand, the writing on it actually flashed a few times, which meant that a god was coming!
