    On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the 40th year of Jiajing reign in the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Yu and his boy Sixi had breakfast early and went out. They did not need Zhu Dedong to see them off. They only asked a porter to carry a load of gifts to Sanjiangkou Pier. They hired him two days earlier.  The good boat was moored on the shore. The captain looked from the high ground on the shore. When he saw Zeng Yu's master and servant arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Si Xi carry her baggage and greeted her to get on the boat.  The boat unmoored and left the shore, heading west along the river. The weather was very good. Zeng Yu sat on the stern of the boat and watched the morning glow in the eastern sky and a red sun gushing out. He was silent for a long time.  Si Xi sat aside and his brows were filled with joy. He saw that the young master's brows were slightly furrowed and silent, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He listened quietly to the sound of the river water at the bottom of the wooden boat. The happiness in his heart was like the water at the bottom of the boat that wanted to rise up.  , Sixi's happiness is very simple. The grandma in the house now doesn't have to worry about money. The young master is going to marry Miss Zhang from Longhushan. Especially after the grand master of the mansion visited the house to congratulate him yesterday, the neighbors came to watch.  His Si Xi's eyes were a little different, showing awe, which made Si Xi very proud. But why didn't the young master look so beaming?  The beginning of spring has passed, the rain is approaching, the cold winter is over, the temperature is getting warmer, greenery is appearing on both sides of the river, but the wind on the river is still very cold, Zeng Yu returned to the cabin and sat down, no longer thinking about Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi.  , he can do as much as he has the ability. He is not being unlucky, but he is really beyond his capabilities. He can't let Yan Shifan not marry Yingzi to him, so he can just die and wait. He will be twenty-one years old in the new year.  Mother was worried. Could it be that Magistrate Lin was a matchmaker for Da Zhen Mansion? How dare he shirk it? What's more, he had a good impression of Zhang Guangwei. This girl who was dedicated to the Tao was kind-hearted and didn't have much of a young lady's temper. Her feelings were  It can be cultivated slowly. It is his honor to marry Zhang Guangwei. He knows this very well. As for Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi, Lu Miaoxiang will never marry in this life; Yingzi is only thirteen years old in the new year.  He can also take a long-term view. If he really encounters misfortune, he will definitely lend a helping hand and try to prevent Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi from being affected by the downfall of Yan Song and his son. The downfall of the Yan family may be a good opportunity for Lu Miaoxiang to escape from prison.  ¡ª¡ª As the boat sails on the river, the scenery on both sides is thin, just like Ni Yunlin's light ink landscape painting. The Guangxin Prefecture area is full of Danxia landforms, with many strange peaks and rocks. In late winter and early spring, the vegetation has not grown, and the rocks and cliffs are even more strange.  In this state, the scenery on both sides of the strait flowed with the river, and Zeng Yu's heart gradually returned to peace.  The river flow was gentle and the boat was brisk. It passed the mouth of the Qianshan River before noon. The Xinjiang River gathered the water of the Qianshan River here. The river surface widened and the river flow became vast. Zeng Yu stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the pier at the mouth of the river. There were many sailboats on the shore.  The bustling population is the same as what I saw when I first passed by this place last year. This most important commercial port in Jiangxi Province has recovered from the robbery disaster in the twelfth lunar month last year - "Master, Master." Sixi said: "Master's  I want to go ashore to find out which side the silver was thrown on." Si Xi still remembers the ten taels of silver that Zeng Yu abandoned on Hengfeng Road last year. Zeng Yu smiled and said, "That road is not inaccessible, and the snow has melted.  After many days of waiting for us to pick it up - don't think about that anymore. The boat docked at Longtoushan Pier in Yingtanfang. Sixi jumped ashore first, and before he could stand, he heard a loud voice shouting: "  Sixi, Master Zeng, you are finally here. I have been waiting here after lunch.  " Sixi turned around and said cheerfully: "Brother Laifu, thank you for your hard work. Happy New Year, happy New Year.  Zeng Yu jumped ashore and said with a smile: "Laifu, how did you know I would arrive today?"  "The naive Laifu stepped forward and said, "Master Yu Xuan came here in the morning and said that the young master of the Zeng family should arrive today.  Suddenly he raised his voice and said, "Master Zeng, look, I found the money."  "As he spoke, he hurriedly took out two small silver ingots from his arms and held them in front of Zeng Yu with both hands. Si Xi's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Brother Laifu, are these the ten taels of silver that my young master lost when he met a thief?  Lai Fu grinned "ho ho" with a big mouth, nodding his head.  Zeng Yu was also very surprised and asked: "Laifu, how did you find it?" Laifu said with a smile: "Didn't my young master and I come back by boat a few years ago? When we got to Qianshan, I went up to the north bank and went straight to  The two ingots of silver were quickly found in the Ailanthus tree where Master Zeng buried the silver. " Sixi praised: "Brother Laifu, you really have such a good memory." Zeng Yu also praised Laifu: "Good luck to Laifu.  Like this, I couldn't find the place where the silver was buried - when our boat crossed the river mouth just now, Sixi said he wanted to go ashore to find the silver, haha, luckily I didn't let him look for it. " Sixi said with a smile.  "How did I know that Brother Laifu had already found the silver first?" Laifu said, "Didn't I tell you, I will look for it." The boatman helped Zeng Yu carry Zeng Yu's luggage ashore, and Zeng Yu paid the wages.  Laifu picked up the load and the three of them walked to Yingtanfang Cross Street. As soon as they reached the top of the landing, they saw Zheng Shi and Taoist Yu Xuan walking towards Longtoushan Pier - "I thought you were almost there."  Zheng Shi strode over, held Zeng Yu's hand and laughed loudly: "Nine carps and red luan stars are moving, I'm so happy, so happy."Zeng Yu and Taoist Yu Xuan greeted each other, and Taoist Yu Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Jiuli came very early, he must have set off in the middle of the night." Zheng Shi deliberately said with a straight face: "Yu Xuan, you called me Brother Jiuli too.  No, no big or small, but I am two generations older than you. Alas, I really don¡¯t know what to call you.¡± Zheng Shi and Taoist Yu Xuan often joked with each other, and Taoist Yu Xuan said with a smile.  You and I have been dating for many years, so there is no need to change our titles. Now that you are two generations younger than Jiuli Xiandi, the title between you is troublesome." Zeng Yu said: "Don't joke, you two are just proposing marriage. It's hard to say whether it will happen or not.  "Zheng Shi said: "This is a match made in heaven. How can it not happen? It will happen." Arriving at Zheng's house, Zeng Yu went into the inner courtyard to kowtow to Zheng Shi's mother, Lu, and pay a visit to his sister-in-law, Li.  The New Year's money, as well as the small toys and cakes that Niuniu gave to Qianqian, were all bought at Shangrao City God's Temple Lantern Market.  Early the next morning, Zheng Shi hired two sedans. He and Zeng Yu took the sedans, and Laifu and Sixi walked. Taoist Yu Xuan did not accompany him, so he had to rush back to Dazhen Mansion in Shangqing Town to report the news.  It is about forty miles from Yingtanfang to Guixi County. It was already late noon when Zeng Yu and his entourage arrived at Guixi County. They had some lunch at a restaurant in the south of the city and then went to the county government office to assassinate him. Soon some of the officials from the government office came to greet Zeng Yu.  When Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi entered, they were greeted by the county magistrate Zhou in front of the house. He had already been notified by Magistrate Lin and Dazhen Mansion, so he was of course very polite to Zeng Yu and arranged for them to rest in the house and entertained them with a feast that night.  On the morning of the 18th, Zhou Zhixian, Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi took a sedan chair to Shangqing. It was sixty miles from Guixi County to Shangqing Town, which was further than Yingtan to Shangqing. Therefore, Zhou Zhixian had already arrived at Shangqing Town.  It was late in the afternoon, and Butler Zhang, Taoist Yu Xuan, and two Taoist officials from Dazhen Mansion had been waiting for a long time. While sending people back to report the news, they led Zhou Zhixian, Zeng Yu and his party to Dazhen Mansion.  Zhang Yongxu, the master of Sijiao, and two other elders of the Zhang family stood outside to greet him. This was naturally because of the reputation of Zhouzhi County. Zeng Yu who proposed marriage could not receive such courtesy. However, Zhouzhi County acted as matchmaker because of the arrangement of Dazhenren Mansion.  When Zhang Dazhen greeted Zhou Zhi County, he was also welcoming Zeng Yu. It should be noted that Zhang Guangwei was his aunt. Zhou Zhi County smiled and pointed to the black-backed gold couplets on the pillars on both sides of the head door and said: "The guest of the gods from Qilin Palace, the prime minister's house in Longhu Mountain.  ¡ª¡ªWho would have thought that this beautiful couplet would lead to a good marriage, haha." Zhang Yongxu, a contemporary of the Sijiao family, looked at Zeng Yu with an unnatural smile. Zhang Yongxu actually did not agree with this marriage. A young scholar wanted to do it.  Didn't his uncle lose his dignity as a real person of Zhang Da in Longhu Mountain? However, Master Yuan Gang, who had a high position in the Qing Palace in Da Shang, strongly advocated the marriage. He said that Zeng Yu was the protector of the Zhengyi Sect and was enshrined in the mortal world. He also said that Zhang Guangwei had been stubborn since he was a child.  But they got along very well with Zeng Yu. Isn't it a fairy fate? Moreover, this time Zhang Guangwei went to Zeng Yu's house in Shangrao to save Zeng Yu. Although it was a bit outrageous, it was destined to be married in his previous life. Zhang Guangwei's mother agreed with this.  It's a wedding, what can Zhang Yongxu, a nephew, say? - Zhang Yongxu entered the guest house. The first half of the Dazhen Mansion was regarded as the Daozong Yamen, and the second half was the private residence. The group walked past the Xuantan Hall, the Fazhuan Bureau,  After lifting the office and other buildings, they came to the main hall of Dazhen Mansion. The two elders of the Zhang family briefly talked with Zhou Zhixian, Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi. Without talking about the wedding, they started to have dinner. Originally, only the matchmaker came to the house to propose marriage.  Yes, it was agreed that he would bring his prospective son-in-law to the house to accept the offer. Now Zhou Zhixian brought Zeng Yu to the house together - During the dinner, Zhou Zhixian mentioned that Zeng Yu had been rewarded by Governor Hu Butang for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits. Not long ago, the court returned the favor.  An order was about to be issued to confer an official post to Zeng Yu's father, and it was also said that Zeng Yu was the favorite disciple of Mr. Huang Xuedao from Jiangxi Province. Huang Xuedao was very optimistic about Zeng Yu in this autumn's provincial examination.  I have little talent and little knowledge. This autumn's provincial examination is the first in my life, so I am really not sure.  One of Zhang Guangwei's uncles was rather verbose. He asked Zeng Yu a lot of questions, and Zeng Yu answered them one by one. As for the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, he talked about some Taoist classics. Fortunately, Zeng Yu  This is the Kanyu family. Although Feng Shui originated from the Yin Yang family of the Spring and Autumn Period, it has always been inseparable from Taoist theory. There are many Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain who are also proficient in Feng Shui, so Zeng Yu and Zhang Guangwei's uncle can also talk to each other.  Regardless of Zhang Yongxu, the two elders of the Zhang family had a good impression of Zeng Yu. They thought that although Zeng Yu was not a rich man, he was calm and calm, not shabby and stingy.  So picky.  Butler Zhang came in and whispered a few words to Zhang Yongxu. Zhang Yongxu nodded and said to Zeng Yu: "Master Zeng, Master Yuangang of the Great Shangqing Palace invites you to meet."  Waiting outside the Yimen, the two of them quickly walked out of the front door of Dazhenren Mansion. They slowed down at the same time. Zeng Yu asked: "Brother Taoist, why did Master Yuangang call me?" Taoist Yu Xuan said happily: "Of course.  It¡¯s because of the little fairy girl¡ª¡ª¡± Yu Xuan was disgusting. After saying a few words, Zeng Yu asked: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±Yu Xuan said: "Little Fairy Girl has been fasting for three days." Zeng Yu was surprised and asked: "Why, are you unwilling to get married?" Yu Xuan nodded and said: "That is indeed the reason." Three days of hunger strike is not a small matter, Yu  Taoist Xuan, on the other hand, smiled and looked careless. Zeng Yu said awkwardly: "Since Miss Guangwei is wholeheartedly pursuing the Tao, I'd better not force it."  It¡¯s just that we don¡¯t eat rice and fish, but we still eat fruits. There are many kinds of apples from Beijing, Shandong Qiubai pears, and Dongyang Nanzao.¡± Zeng Yu couldn¡¯t help laughing and asked: ¡°What about Yuan Gang?  What did the old master call me to do?" Yu Xuan said with a smile: "Of course it's up to you to persuade the little fairy not to live in peace." Zeng Yu shook his head and smiled, and followed Taoist Yu Xuan to the east of the town.  On his way to the Qing Palace in the suburbs, Zeng Yu saw Yu Xuan's father-in-law, Huang Daddy, bargaining with a man picking soybeans to sell in front of the door when he passed by the Huang Family Tofu Shop.  It was Zeng Yu who was overjoyed and enthusiastically invited Zeng Yu to come in and sit down. Yu Xuan said: "Dad, Mr. Zeng has something important to do urgently. Come back later." Then he whispered to Zeng Yu: "Zhuo Jing is saluting you.  "Zeng Yu saw the cute Luo Xixi in the tofu shop folding her crotch and wishing him a blessing. He quickly returned the gift and said to Father Huang: "Since you have come to Shangqing, you must come to disturb Father Huang for a meal.  See you."
