I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 304 City Chinese Club
The few people who heard Tao Fengming's question were stunned for a moment, and Song Mu was also a little confused, but the old Patriarch thought carefully for a moment before speaking.

"Your Excellency is talking about the current Sir Sinong Shen. He is indeed in the city now, and we can often see him."

The old Patriarch said so, but the expression on his face was a little thoughtful, and the expression he looked at Tao Fengming changed slightly at this moment.

Tao Fengming was able to ask an official's name like this, as well as his temperament, the old man immediately felt that Song Mu and Song Mu had a lot of background.

But this was just a small episode, Tao Fengming just smiled and nodded at the moment, and then got up too.

Immediately, several people went out of the courtyard to have breakfast. After eating, Song Mu covered Tao Fengming with a big cloak, and walked out together.

After waking up from sleep, Tao Fengming's complexion seemed surprisingly good today, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to take a stroll in the city.

Song Mu naturally kept up, but just after leaving Dai's house, he saw Dai Mingde behind him actually following up, and now he smiled and followed Song Mu's side.

"Father and elder brother said that Brother Song and Mr. Song came to this city just now, and they are not familiar with each other. If you don't feel troublesome today, will you go out together?"

Song Mu originally meant something like this, but at the moment he just looked at Tao Fengming. Tao Fengming also nodded, but said calmly at the moment.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, but I don't know if you know where Lord Shen's official residence is?"

"Of course I know it, but if adults want to find him there, it's not easy."

Dai Mingde nodded and said, but when he changed his words, Song Mu raised his eyebrows and cast a puzzled look, and Dai Mingde spoke.

"Master Shen is in charge of farming. Although it is the twelfth lunar month, the rapeseed for the coming year has already been planted outside the city, and womb and Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum are also being harvested. Lord Shen must be outside the city at this moment."

Hearing this, Tao Fengming's face changed slightly.

"Then I don't know where to go to find this Lord Shen?"

Song Mu asked immediately, and Dai Mingde also pointed.

"Let's go to the south of the city. Master Shen will go out from the south of the city every morning. When the sun is high, your lord will return to the city to have lunch, and then go to the government office in the afternoon. We will definitely meet people at the gate of the city."

Hearing this, Tao Fengming nodded immediately, Song Mu was also a little surprised, and at the moment he was also a little curious about this Master Shen Tiancai Shen, and asked Tao Fengming, but Tao Fengming only said something lightly.

"This is an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him for some years."

Song Mu was still a little dazed, but Dai Mingde next to him explained a few more words at the moment.

"Master Shen is from our Yuhang County. Master Shen is a literati in the Hanlin realm, but now he is only working as a farmer in Lin'an."

When Dai Mingde said this, his face was somewhat happy, but he sighed a few times instead.

"Master Shen is very kind to others, but he doesn't like to discuss knowledge. Alas, but speaking of it, if it wasn't because your lord is only a minor official, and if you go up one level and follow the avoidance system, you wouldn't be able to stay in Lin'an."

Song Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this. A literati in the Imperial Academy is actually just a small official in Lin'an City?Think about the three Hanlins in Jiangnan West Road before, they are all powerful figures.

Is Master Shen also unwilling to stay in the core officialdom for a long time?
It was only then that Song Mu remembered that He Shilin from Yuzhang City also recognized Tao Fengming back then, but the two of them had hardly met each other, but Master Shen, the master not only took the initiative to ask about the situation, but even went to meet him in person.

Thinking of this, Song Mu became even more curious about Lord Shen.

A few people were walking and chatting on the street at the moment. Today, the sun is shining through the clouds, and the warm winter sun is coming directly. It is less humid and cold yesterday, and walking on the street is also pleasant.

This Lin'an is also prosperous. There are row upon row of shops on the street, small buildings, waterways and stone bridges everywhere, with white walls and gray tiles. The tranquil atmosphere of the south of the Yangtze River is more clear here.

Song Mu also walked beside Tao Fengming, listening to Dai Mingde talking about the situation around him, nodding his head non-stop.

"Going all the way there is the Qiantang River. You can watch the tide. It is the worst on August [-] every year. Speaking of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a bit extraordinary. At that time, there was a vision in the sky. I heard that Song Jieyuan did it too. , that "Shui Tune Ge Tou", now I also copied a copy."

Dai Mingde also seemed to enjoy the atmosphere of introducing his surroundings to others, but he never left Song Mu in a few words, and he seemed to admire him extremely.

Song Mu didn't dare to speak, but his eyes suddenly saw a group of people passing by on the street ahead, and he was startled.

"What are those people carrying?"

As Song Mu asked, Tao Fengming also looked over at the moment, only to see a group of strong men in black and red clothes walking in two rows on the side of the bridge, and each of them carried a bamboo platform in their hands. It is offering a few things.

There is a box that is as long as an arm, which contains glittering gold, and a strange red coral is placed on it. In addition, there is a silk round fan placed on a bamboo platform.

Dai Mingde also looked over at the moment, grinned when he saw those things, and said with a smile.

"Brother Song may not know, but this is our end-of-year essay meeting here to thank you."

"Year-end literary meeting?"

Song Mu was taken aback when he heard this, but Dai Mingde continued to explain.

"This is a kind of literary society that has only sprung up in the past few years. I heard that it was organized by several adults in the city. It is just that the city's chamber of commerce has funded and set up several rewards. Talented people come to write poems and articles on that day. As long as they can write talent, All of them can get a reward, and those whose poems and articles rank first can choose the reward displayed on the bamboo sedan chair."

"This year's top prize is the seven-inch red coral, and the second and third best can still have a golden hundred taels, as well as a chance to kiss Fangze, the top card in Wenxiang Pavilion."

When Dai Mingde said this, he laughed twice at the moment, but he also said it with a little pride.

"My family's cloth shop has put 500 taels in it for a few years, but it's not as good as other wealthy people in the city. At that time, it will only be able to hang up the signboard of the cloth shop, and then someone will recite poems and then mention it."

Hearing this, Song Mu was slightly speechless at the moment, but he didn't expect that there were such methods in this ancient times.

Although it is a literary fair, it seems that it is also a year-old promotion, which can be regarded as driving the economic development of the region.

Song Mu was dumbfounded at the moment, but such things are harmless, and it would be nice to be as lively as it was a few minutes ago.

Dai Mingde next to him looked at the slight change in Song Mu's face, and thought that Song Mu had some ideas, but now he said it regretfully.

"Brother Song wants to go, but it's difficult. Most of the people who can go to the meeting are Lin'an candidates. Scholars can only go if they accept the post. But if the husband wants to go, he can go up and have a look."

Hearing what Dai Mingde said, Song Mu just shook his head, and Tao Fengming next to him didn't show any expression, but continued to walk towards the south of the city.

This surprised De Mingde a little, and even felt that these two were different from others. After all, people usually look a little yearning when they hear it.

When the three of them arrived at the gate of the city, Dai Mingde went up to say hello to the storekeepers of several shops facing the street, and when he came back, he told Song Mu that Mr. Shen had gone out early in the morning, so he could only wait here patiently.

It seems that Dai Mingde is quite capable in the city.

Tao Fengming didn't feel much about it, and the three of them found a small high-rise building, and while eating the Lin'an delicacies, they roasted the fire and looked at the beautiful scenery of Lin'an.

At noon, Dai Mingde was talking to Song Mu about some anecdotes about the students in the city, when Tao Fengming said suddenly.

"coming."

After saying that, Song Mu turned his head and followed Tao Fengming's gaze to the street downstairs.
