Chapter 122 Liushang Qushui(1/2)
On the banks of the Yuan River, flags are waving, crowded with people, breeze is gentle, and it is very lively.
Under the protection of the Tiance Army and the Jinyiwei, Li Yu walked off the carriage and came to a high platform.
There is a dedicated person to host Shangsi Festival, so he doesn’t need to stand up and say anything.
Li Yu doesn't like these either.
As Li Yu arrived, he sat on the platform with his wife Ning Hongye.
On the shore, several women dressed in white and dressed in strange styles began to act.
They are all witches who can still be found in the city and have a blessing ceremony on Shangsi Festival.
After the sacrificial tour, the festival reached its climax.
The people who had been waiting for a long time jumped into the river and played in shallow places.
On a tributary not far from the pier, many students wearing Confucian robes and blue shirts sat on the water with mats.
A wine pot is placed on the water surface, flows down from the top, stops next to someone, and then the man takes a drink and writes a poem.
This is called: the flowing cup and the water.
On the banks of the Yuan River, some people play in the water; some students and literati drink wine and water; some officials and nobles sit high and watch the building, and enjoy tea and leisurely.
Even if no one is in charge of the guidance, everyone is still energetic and do what they like, and sweep away the previous depression in their hearts.
On a loft at the pier, Li Yu looked down from a high place and saw the scene below.
But just one glance, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang.
"I don't know if the water ghost will appear today?"
The reason why he set the festival location in Yuanjiang is that it is suitable here.
It also means attracting water ghosts.
Outside Wuling City, there were originally five supernatural places.
Among them, the tree demon in Qingshan Temple has been pacified, and the paper man sedan chair in Black Wind Forest is located in a remote location.
The ancient battlefields of the small mountain village, and the most powerful ghosts and mass graves.
But similar to the situation of the Paper Man's sedan chair, it is a distance from Wuling City, and the sense of threat is not very strong.
But the Yuan River water ghosts are active in the waters upstream of Wuling Wharf.
The infestation area is wide and aggressive, and it often attacks surface ships and people on the shore.
Among the remaining four supernatural events, the water ghost is the most important ghost in Wuling.
It’s just that the water ghost stays in the water, and it’s difficult to find the other person’s trace.
Li Yu took this opportunity to see if he could attract water ghosts to appear.
Of course, he did not care about the lives and deaths of the people. He had long secretly arranged many Jinyiwei and Taoyuan Villagers.
Yue Feng, Tieshan, and Lin Sheng are all around. As long as you find something strange below, you can take action immediately.
Li Yu sat in the attic, and from time to time, officials and nobles came forward to greet him.
The former has the status and power in Wuling County now, and no one or power does not favor it.
However, Li Yu rarely shows up outside, so those people don’t have a chance.
I finally encountered it today, so I naturally couldn't miss it.
Li Yu is not disgusted with such things, and human relationships are a very normal thing.
However, there were too many people visiting him, and if he really wanted to meet one by one, he would be annoyed.
He gave his subordinates an order, except for some major forces, people from ordinary forces will not meet.
If Li Yu's approach is not a pretentious person, if others are not.
But no one in Wuling City had this idea, and instead felt it was natural.
When the gap between the two sides is too big, all jealousy and dissatisfaction will turn into awe.
"Sir, there is a scholar outside asking for a visit."
Soon, a junior official from the county magistrate downstairs trotted and said respectfully: "The person who came is Shi Chen, and the other party is from the Shi family. He did not come to give gifts, but wanted to invite the adults to sit next to him."
The clerk has a clear logic and will quickly explain the other party's purpose.
It turned out that Shi Chen was the student who held the Liushang Qushui there. He was asked by others to invite Li Yu to come over and sit down.
It was not because he wanted to really write poetry and drink, but many people admired him for his reputation and wanted to see him at first sight.
However, this is Shi Chen's statement, and Li Yu also knew in his heart what the real purpose was.
Since he moved into the county magistrate's office, he has adopted a policy of the capable superior and the weak superior.
At the same time, a notice was issued in Wuling County to recruit scholars to join the county magistrate's office.
There has been a while so far, and Li Yu is hard to say about other places.
But in Wuling County, he basically caught all the scholars.
When Shi Chen and others invite him, they are excuses for admiring him for a long time.
The real purpose is probably to think that he can be attracted to the county magistrate's mansion.
"Reject."
Li Yu shook his head slightly, "Tell Jiang Yu, let him go. At the same time, add a lottery ticket, and the first three of Liushang Qushui will be rewarded with me for the four treasures of the study."
Go, he definitely won't go.
But people like Shi Chen may have average abilities, but they are also scholars.
The family behind these people performed well after they took office.
Giving a lottery ticket can also be considered as giving them a reputation.
As for Jiang Yu, since he met him by chance last time.
He ordered someone to secretly investigate the other party, and after learning that the other party had no problems, he sent an invitation.
Jiang Yu did not reject himself as he did when he rejected the county magistrate before, but thought for a night and agreed.
Now the other party is the county magistrate in the county yard, assisting Zhao An in managing Wuling County.
Because Zhao An is good at abilities, he has not caused trouble now.
Before Li Yu found a better candidate, he kept the other party.
The minor official retreated and found Jiang Yu who was parading by the river.
"Okay, I understand. Please let me know."
After hearing this, Jiang Yu did not refuse and agreed.
"Don't dare."
The minor official dared not say anything, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
Although Jiang Yu was from a pride family, the county magistrate personally ordered an invitation to become an official.
But he walked under the county magistrate's gate and did many trivial things.
Although his status is not high, he can have more time to contact the county magistrate and become closer.
This is also the reason why he is so tough.
"Congratulations to Brother Jiang! It really makes me envious of being valued by the county magistrate."
The minor official left, and the few people who were traveling with Jiang Yu bowed to congratulate him.
"The county magistrate is busy with work, so I can only send me to deal with it, it's nothing."
Jiang Yu waved his hand, but then he never stopped smiling.
"If you get the cheap, behave like a good person, leave quickly. Staying here is annoying!"
A young man in blue waved his hand opposite and pulled the other people away quickly.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Be careful on the way, don't slip into the water."
Jiang Yu watched the few people leave, and his smile remained unchanged.
They are all partners who have been playing together since childhood, and they have a close relationship and are just jokes.
Jiang Yu sorted out his clothes and walked towards where Shi Chen and others were.
He also knew about the other party holding the Liushang Qushui.
Because the other party invited him yesterday, he just refused.
When I came this morning, I saw the other party bringing people to decorate the venue.
I thought I wouldn't come here, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
"That's...Brother Jiang?!"
