Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 42 Poetry Party
They were still staying in the private inn run by teacher Wen Yu. Wen Yu had sent a letter earlier, so the inn did not receive any other guests. When Jing Yao and his companions arrived, the room was almost full. After a long day of traveling, everyone felt extremely tired. After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
There was no conversation that night. The next morning, just as the sun rose, Wen Yu's four friends arrived at the inn. When Jing Yao and Wen Qun walked down the stairs together, they happened to see the four people sitting in the lobby, dining and chatting happily.
"Ayao, Qun Qun, come and have breakfast." Wen Yu greeted them quickly when he saw the two of them coming down.
The two walked to an empty table and waited for the waiter to bring their breakfast. Wen Yu and the others had already finished eating, so he took this opportunity to introduce them to each other.
"Ayao, Qun Qun, this is my good friend Zhao Junyi, Ma Qinghong, Yu Daocheng, Li Tong, classmates, this is Jia Wenqun and his husband Jing Yao."
After the two sides greeted each other, Jing Yao and his friends' breakfast had been delivered, so the two stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
Ma Qinghong looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "Are they also going to Beijing with us?"
The other three were also very curious and looked at Wen Yu.
Wen Yu smiled and nodded: "They have something to do in Beijing, so it's a good idea for us to go together. It will be safer if there are more people."
The three men stopped talking. They each hired people from the escort agency to protect them. Having more people could indeed deter some villains.
When they finished their meal and were preparing to set off, they saw ten carriages loaded with goods and more than twenty escorts accompanying them, and then they realized what a large number of people meant.
"Qinglan is going to move his entire family." Zhao Junyi joked with a smile.
"Brother Qinglan's family is really wealthy. It seems that he is very confident, which is why he is so well prepared." Li Tong also joked.
Wen Yu did not smile and replied: "I didn't bring anything with me, just this horse, all alone. My brother-in-law brought it with him to open a shop in Beijing."
The four of them were all surprised. Just as they were about to ask more questions, Xiao Ling rode over, jumped off his horse, and stood in front of Wen Yu: "Uncle, the boss has prepared everything. When are you going to leave?"
Wen Yu looked back at his classmates. They said goodbye one after another and got into their own carriages. Wen Yu also got on the horse and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Ling mounted his horse, walked to the front of the team and began to lead the team forward.
The carriage started to move. Jing Yao lay on the carriage, holding the person tightly. Wen Qun listened carefully to the movements outside and breathed a sigh of relief when he did not hear Wen Yu's voice.
Jing Yao smiled as he watched him act so guilty, and did not remind him that Wen Yu had gone to meet a good friend and would not be back for a while.
"Qun Qun, eat this lychee, it's sweet." All the lychees in the mountain had been picked by Jing Yao. The extra ones were canned, and he also kept some fresh ones in the space so that Wen Qun could eat them whenever he wanted.
Wen Qun wanted to take it, but Jing Yao dodged him. He knew that Jing Yao was teasing him, but he still leaned over and took the white and tender lychee.
Jing Yao was very satisfied and continued to peel another one. The two of them fed each other sweetly in the carriage.
Wen Yu outside was riding a horse with a gloomy face, following the team in the middle. From time to time, his friends would call him, and he would go and talk to them and discuss some academic matters.
During the lunch break, Wen Yu kept an eye on Jing Yao. Whenever Jing Yao got close to Wen Qun, he would call him. In the afternoon, he even watched Jing Yao ride on a horse. He was only satisfied when they rode side by side.
After walking for half a day, they arrived at the dock. Jing Yao brought a lot of things with him, so in order to avoid trouble and let everyone have a good rest, he had already chartered a large ship and would weigh anchor and set sail after their cargo carriage was loaded.
The boat that Jing Yao rented was big and there were many rooms in the cabin, but the space was still small. Wen Qun felt very uncomfortable after staying there for a long time. Although it was close to the sea, he had never traveled far and naturally had never been on such a big boat. He didn't know that he had seasickness.
Jing Yao felt very distressed to see him like this, so he simply took everyone to the deck to enjoy the scenery and get some fresh air. Looking at the scenery outside, Wen Qun felt much more comfortable and more energetic.
Jing Yao moved a table to the deck and took out many snacks and canned foods. The canned foods here are not only canned fruits, but also canned snacks. They are some mountain products, such as chestnuts, hawthorns, etc., which are made into modern casual snacks. They are sealed in cans and can be kept for a long time. These are all exclusive supplies of Wen Qun and outsiders cannot eat them.
Jing Yao even took out his fishing gear and started fishing. He was good at cheating and caught a lot of fish in such a turbulent river. After cleaning them, he started grilling the fish with charcoal on the deck.
Wen Yu was reading in his room with great concentration when he was interrupted by a spicy aroma. Looking at the book in his hand and smelling the scent in the air, Wen Yu decisively put the book down, opened the door and went out.
Hearing the sound of him opening the door, several of his friends also opened the door and walked out. They looked at each other and said with a smile, "I wonder which chef on the ship made such tempting food."
Yu Daocheng nodded. He loved food to begin with, and was attracted by the aroma. He couldn't read a single word of the book.
Wen Yu smiled and said, "I know, come with me."
When they arrived on the deck, they saw Wen Qun sitting at the table eating grilled fish, while Jing Yao was turning the fish he was grilling. The two looked very warm.
Wen Qun felt someone was reading his words, so he looked up and said with a smile, "Brother, you're here. A Yao said you must be hungry, but I didn't expect you to come out so soon. You guys take this seat."
Wen Qun pointed to a table next to him that was filled with food and had exactly five seats.
The five of them didn't hesitate and sat down directly.
"Thank you, Master Jing and Master Wen, for the hospitality."
The other four people expressed their gratitude.
Jing Yao waved his hand and looked at the fish in his hand. Seeing that it was almost done, he took the fish out from between the two boards and placed it in front of them: "You have worked hard in studying, eat more."
The five people looked at the grilled fish that was delicious and tasty, and they all started to eat it with relish. Fortunately, although the fish had big bones, it didn't have any small bones, so they could eat it with confidence.
Even Wen Yu, who didn't like fish very much, ate a lot. After finishing one fish, everyone was still reluctant to leave. Jing Yao's second fish was also grilled and placed directly on the table for them. This time everyone was much more polite. Wen Yu also had time to try the various canned foods on the table. Soon he stopped eating fish and started tasting various canned foods.
Seeing this, others also tried one by one. Ma Qinghong took a bite of the lychee and said in amazement: "What kind of lychee is this? It's so sweet and delicious. I've never eaten it before."
When Yu Daocheng heard him say that, he quickly ate one and immediately felt his tongue was in extreme enjoyment. This lychee was indeed delicious.
Wen Yu also liked it very much after eating it, and couldn't help wondering, all the fruits of Jing Yao were collected nearby, and they were all common fruits for him, and it seemed that they didn't produce lychees there.
"Ayao, do you want to buy these lychees?" Wen Yu asked curiously.
Jing Yao shook his head, "The production of lychees is low, so I don't buy them."
In fact, the output is not low at all. Even if there is only one tree, there are several thousand kilograms of fresh lychees in his space, not to mention the even more canned ones. However, scarcity makes things valuable. There are few lychees in this era, so he plans to make a gimmick here, giving them away without buying them, to stimulate consumption, and then put them up for lottery and win them by probability. This is more interesting.
Wen Yu nodded. He had indeed not heard of any place nearby selling lychees. It seemed that Jing Yao’s lychees were not easy to come by.
When the other four heard this, they all looked disappointed.
Jing Yao looked at their expressions and changed the subject, "But I can give you a few cans, just as if we were making friends."
Jing Yao signaled to Xiao Ling, and Xiao Ling took out many cans of food and distributed them to Wen Yu's three friends. There were all kinds of cans, and among them there were five cans of lychees each. Jing Yao's canned food packaging was not stingy, each one weighed two kilograms, and with the sweet water inside, it still looked like a big can.
The four of them were very grateful: "Thank you, Master Jing!" The five of them also signaled their servants to take the things back.
Jing Yao smiled and said, "You are all my eldest brother's friends, so I naturally cannot neglect you."
The four of them knew what Jing Yao meant, and they also knew that they had benefited from following Wen Yu, so they looked at Wen Yu with gratitude.
Wen Yu also smiled at his classmates. Seeing Jing Yao being so generous, he knew that what Jing Yao said was not true, at least not the whole truth, so he smiled and accepted his help in building relationships with his classmates.
A few people were on the deck, enjoying the breeze and eating delicious canned food. They returned to their cabins to rest when it got dark.
Wen Yu looked at Jing Yao who was taking care of Wen Qun. He wanted them to pay attention, but in the end he didn't say it and just let them go.
After returning to the room, Wen Yu had just sat down for a while when someone knocked on his door. When he opened it, he saw that it was Jing Yao and Wen Qun.
"Brother, Wen Qun and I are here to check on you." Jing Yao said with a smile, holding a bundle.
Wen Yu almost rolled his eyes, turned around and walked in.
"How did you get here?" Wen Yu asked.
"To bring warmth!" Wen Qun opened the bag, which contained all kinds of food he had prepared for Wen Yu.
Wen Yu's face looked much better, and he didn't care about the teasing in his words.
"Where did this lychee come from? I remember that Lin'an doesn't produce lychees." Wen Yu asked curiously.
Jing Yao replied, "Deep in the Xishan Mountains."
Wen Yu frowned, "Isn't it very dangerous in there?"
Jing Yao said proudly: "I am the only one who can find them all."
Wen Yu knew Jing Yao's abilities and didn't say anything more, just nodded.
After a day's journey, everyone was tired. Without saying much, they quickly went back to their rooms to rest.
Although the boat was faster than the carriage, it was uncomfortable for Wen Qun who was seasick, so Jing Yao took out several games to kill time. The most popular one was Landlord. Although this game could only be played by three people, the others could only watch from the side, but it did not prevent them from making suggestions. The loser would not only be replaced, but also have a sticker on his face. After a round of games, only Wen Qun had fewer stickers on his face, while the faces of others were all covered. Wen Yu's face was almost full of stickers, and he looked at Jing Yao helplessly.
What Jing Yao released was not called water, but sea. As long as he was against Wen Qun, he never won. No matter whether Wen Qun was a landlord or a peasant, he could make him win, even if he himself lost everything.
Wen Yu said helplessly: "Ayao, I can't stick it on my face anymore."
Jing Yao glanced at him and said indifferently: "Brother, you haven't mastered the essence of playing cards yet, you need to practice more."
When the others heard this, they all rolled their eyes in their hearts. Only he could say such words.
After a lively half-month sailing on the boat, we finally docked at Jiangcheng, a prefectural city not far from Shangjing. It was famous for its prosperity comparable to Shangjing, especially the big river that ran through Jiangcheng at night. Many talented men and beautiful women would travel on painted boats, recite poems and compose couplets on the river, and listen to many beautiful women playing the piano and singing. Many people would write excellent poems here, which would be spread by word of mouth and known to the world, making them famous.
Especially on the eve of the autumn examination every year, young students from all over Dayu who were going to Beijing to take the exam would pass through here, and many sparks would be created and many good stories would be spread.
So many people took this opportunity to come here, wanting to express their own views on poetry, discuss with students from all over the world, pray for resonance, and finally display their talents and be known by the world.
