    A large group of escorts walked for another half day, and finally arrived in front of a tall city gate. The city gate was three feet high from the ground and majestic. The two characters "Poyang" were engraved on the top of the city gate.  Under the city gate, four or five officers and soldiers wearing leather cloth armor, twill waist protectors, and blue uniforms guarded the gate. Passing vehicles and pedestrians were inspected in line.  Zhao Laojiu is an expert in guarding guards. He travels to and from Poyang County more than ten times a year. Therefore, he is very familiar with the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. They usually get together to have wine and have fun.  Everything was taken care of from top to bottom, so he was let in with almost no difficulty.  After entering this large city gate, you can see the famous Poyang County.  At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, counties were divided into three levels: "With grains of less than 100,000 shi, it is the upper county, and the county magistrate is from the sixth rank; if it is less than 60,000 shi, it is the middle county, and the county magistrate is the seventh rank; and when there is less than 30,000 shi, it is the lower county, and the county magistrate is from the seventh rank. It has been merged into the seventh rank.  "Poyang County is indeed a relatively large county in the south. The whole street is extremely lively. An inland river runs across the north and south, with a stone bridge on it. There are some vendors and many tourists on the west side of the stone bridge.  There are knives, scissors, and groceries on the stalls.  There are tea sellers and fortune tellers.  Many tourists relied on the railings on the side of the bridge, pointing, or watching the boats passing by in the river Liu Wenyang and his group crossed the stone bridge, but saw another scene ahead.  There are rows of houses on both sides, and there are many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street, hanging market flags to solicit business. People on the market are crowded with each other, and there is a constant flow of merchants doing business.  There are gentlemen watching the street scene.  There are officials on horseback.  There are hawkers selling food, family members riding sedans, monks carrying baskets on their backs, tourists from other places asking for directions, children on the street listening to books, young people from wealthy families drinking heavily in restaurants, and people begging on the edge of the city.  Disabled elderly people, men, women and children.  Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, they are all prepared.  Since both Liu Wenyang and Tong Mingyue were traveling far away for the first time and coming here for the first time, they were very curious about everything around them.  After all, Liu Wenyang has been a magician for a long time. When he saw such a big scene, he acted very calmly on the surface, and his expression was calm and calm. This made Zhang Laojiu, who was accompanying him, look at him again. He must know that he is the first  When I came to this county for the first time, I was as excited and nervous as a country bumpkin entering the city.  Unlike this Mr. Xiaoliu, he is so damn calm!  A change of mind.  He also said, no wonder someone as strong as Chun Shisanniang would do business with him, she has something unique.  Liu Wenyang was very calm here, but the little boy Mingyue didn't have the same concentration. His eyes were darting around, looking at the monkey player not far away, looking at the candy player in front, and then turning his head to see.  That person who sells ghost face masksone pair of eyes is simply not enough.  "Brother Liu, what do you think of this county?" Zhao Laojiu asked with a smile.  "It's really majestic and spectacular, and it's like a peaceful and prosperous era before you!" Liu Wenyang said with a smile.  "That's natural! Now that the emperor cares about the people, life will naturally get better!" Zhao Laojiu said, "This is the downtown area of ??the county. It's a little more quiet if you walk not far away, and the Chunfengyixiao Building is right there!" "  Unlike the busy city, this Chunfeng Tower does know how to run a business!" Liu Wenyang thought in his heart and said, "Haha, with Brother Zhang, I have avoided a lot of unnecessary mistakes!"  "Maybe I need your help later" "Help?" Liu Wenyang was startled and was about to ask, but Zhao Laojiu deliberately avoided his eyes and seemed unwilling to say more.  ¡­ After walking for a while, Liu Wenyang separated from the escort team. He was going to the escort office to deliver the goods, while Zhao Laojiu took him to the Chunfeng Yixiao Tower.  Under the leadership of Zhao Laojiu, Liu Wenyang and Tong Mingyue walked along the bustling streets, stopping and stopping along the way, and they also saw a lot of new things.  Liu Wenyang himself is extremely handsome and is known as "beautiful". Now walking on the streets of Poyang City, compared with the ordinary people around him, he is even more handsome and handsome.  This caused countless young ladies to turn around and look around, or point at him, or even worse, smile with their mouths hidden at him and express their affection with their eyebrows.  Liu Wenyang seems to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time, but Zhao Laojiu, a big man, has never been stared at by a woman like this. Although he knows that those women are not looking at him, he still feels a little hot, feeling that these women's  His eyes were as powerful as swords.  As for the child Mingyue, she is very curious about everything around her. She is young and does not mind the looks of those women at all. Instead, she just enjoys herself. If she sees something interesting, she will definitely scream, as if she has discovered something new.  Things, very happy.  Liu Wenyang was infected by him and couldn't help but look around. Occasionally,When I see some gun dancers and street performers, I will stop and take a closer look.  "Master, Master, look at that snake charmer. If he brings our little flowers here, he will definitely scare them to death!" The little boy Mingyue suddenly pulled Liu Wenyang's skirt and said.  Liu Wenyang looked over.  But I saw a man with a small snake wrapped around his neck dancing there, and many people gathered around to watch with relish.  Seeing that Mingyue was very greedy, Liu Wenyang was ready to take him over to have a look, but before he could take a step forward, a voice suddenly shouted to him: "Friend, please stay!" Liu Wenyang turned around and saw  A fortune teller setting up a stall next to him held a goose feather fan in his hand, fanning it slowly while looking at him with a smile.  On both sides of the fortune teller's stall, there is a couplet, which reads: Two tortoises can predict the affairs of the world, and one fan can blow down the world.  Hengbiao, against Zhuge.  Liu Wenyang couldn't help but find it interesting, so he asked: "Is this master calling me?" "Sai Zhuge" still looked like a great immortal. He fanned his fan in the cold weather and said: "Of course it is you who is calling! There is no one except you.  Others can penetrate my eyes!" "Oh, that's quite loud." Liu Wenyang couldn't help but smile. This is really a peer meeting a peer, but he doesn't know what this Sai Zhuge is going to do.  Zhuge originally saw Liu Wenyang dressed well and wanted to stop him to get some business. At this moment, Liu Wenyang was facing him. He couldn't help but take a look at Liu Wenyang's face. He was suddenly startled. His eyes opened wider and wider with scorching eyes.  He looked at Liu Wenyang sideways and vertically, with a look of astonishment on his face.  On the contrary, Liu Wenyang seemed very calm and was not affected by Sai Zhuge's exaggerated expression at all.  Sai Zhuge felt that his facial expression was surprising enough, but the other party did not ask what happened at all. He had no choice but to look hard at Liu Wenyang's face a few more times, and then "shocked all over", Yang  He shouted: "Friend, you have good looks and good bones." Liu Wenyang still looked unsurprised and unhappy, looked at Sai Zhuge, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir." He turned around and was about to leave.  Sai Zhuge was so anxious that he raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Come back soon, my friend. I will read your fortune for you. If it is wrong, I won't take any money from you. If it is right, you can give me whatever you want!"  What a tragedy for fortune tellers.  Liu Wenyang had no choice but to walk over with a smile to save face.  The child Mingyue who was with him didn't understand why his young master asked this bad old man to read his face, and then he figured it out. This was considered a peer applauding his peer, just like those who performed monkey tricks, and there were always rewards. Then he sighed.  My young master is also very kind-hearted.  As for Zhao Laojiu, he didn't know Liu Wenyang's true identity. He only knew that he was Zhang Long's friend. Seeing that he was looking for Sai Zhuge to read his fortune, he wanted to stop him and tell him that these charlatans were all nonsense.  I spent a lot of money unnecessarily, but I couldn't bear to say anything. I thought to myself, as a young man, and there are a few who are not curious, let him see the power of this county's magician. If he is deceived badly, he will do it again.  Taking action can also be regarded as accumulating personal favors.  In fact, Liu Wenyang walked over mainly because he was curious about what Sai Zhuge would say after seeing his face.  ¡°Besides, if a fortune teller tells a fortune teller, what will be the result?  !  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
