It is not far from Songjiang to Zhenjiang. After finding the ferry, you can reach along the river and reach Zhenjiang.

Along the way, Hao Fenglou gradually became familiar with the world and gradually became a little confident in this era.

Zhenjiang was called Jingkou and Dantu in ancient times. There is an ancient poem saying: Wherever you look at Shenzhou, you can see the scenery of Beigu Tower. This Beigu Tower is a scene of Zhenjiang. And this place is also the key to guard Nanjing. The name of Zhenjiang comes from its important military significance. It is said that people from the north went south, either to lead their troops to Xiangfan or to take Zhenjiang directly. Today, the capital is Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing, which is only a hundred miles away from Zhenjiang. The importance of Zhenjiang is naturally self-evident.

Recently, I heard that the rebels in the north have already broken Jinan and the north of the Yangtze River will cross the river soon. Zhenjiang is a major town. If you want to cross the river, you must take down Zhenjiang. Therefore, the atmosphere in Zhenjiang is a little nervous. The soldiers on the streets have three steps, one post, five steps, and one whistle, and they checked everywhere, as if the dark clouds were covering the sun, and the atmosphere was so overwhelming that it was so breathless.

Fortunately, Hao Fenglou had a guide, so he was not afraid of checking it. After he brought Xiao Xiangxiang into the city, he rested in an inn near the navy governor's mansion.

"Young Master, Young Master... Why don't we go directly to pay homage to the Master Lu and the Mrs. Lu?"

Hao Fenglou was dusty and had a bit of tiredness on his face. After settling down, he felt relaxed and said, "You don't know now. We don't know how the Lu family feels about this young master now. If you come to the door rashly and get driven out, it's nothing to lose face. Although this young master is thin-skinned, he can still bear this blow. But it will be very difficult to get close to Miss Lu. So we need to know ourselves and our enemy, stay here for a few days for the time being, inquire about the news before making a decision."

Xiao Xiangxiang felt it made sense and flashed her big eyes and said, "Young Master is right. We must know ourselves and our enemy."

It is not easy to know yourself and your enemy, especially when night falls, there is no entertainment in this era. The only entertainment is probably sleep.

But there was a problem when they were sleeping. The master and servant were very poor. They had to spend two petals of money. As a last resort, they could only squeeze together.

"Young Master, Master, just sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the ground." Xiao Xiangxiang was still very sensible and diligently moved a layer of quilt to the ground.

Hao Fenglou's old face turned slightly red, no, the big man did not make the little girl sleep on the ground, and he couldn't help but be polite and said, "This... sleep in the bed, Master, I'm thick-skinned, not afraid of the cold."

"But..." Xiao Xiangxiang bit her lip and said seriously: "But the lady said, let Xiangxiang take care of your daily life. Master, if you sleep in bed, I don't have to sleep on the floor, and I'm not afraid of the cold."

Hao Fenglou felt that he was almost polite, and secretly scolded himself for being too selfish. Finally, he retreated into the quilt on the bed and covered the quilt: "Very good, Xiao Xiangxiang is very sensible, OK, go to bed!"

There is no need to turn off the lights. Anyway, the inn is provided for free. Hao Fenglou always felt that he was exploited by the inn shopkeeper, so he resolutely decided to light the candles until dawn.

Xiao Xiangxiang opened the floor and went to bed.

Hao Fenglou closed his eyes, but couldn't sleep. Miss Lu was full of his mind, and his cheap parents in this world. Then he remembered his master in his previous life. The master taught him so much, but...

I don’t know how many times he passed away his distractions and glanced at Xiao Xiangxiang, who was already sleeping on the ground. Xiao Xiangxiang was still grinding her teeth while sleeping, coughing and making a little scary. But maybe it was the cold winter month, the ground was too cold, which made her little body curl up, and her face exposed from the quilt under the candlelight turned blue.

Hao Fenglou decided to close his eyes and sleep.

When he closed his eyes, he always felt uneasy in his heart. He comforted himself, this is the old world where people cannibalize. You have to be at ease. If you are not hard, how can you eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the future?

These words calmed him down, and he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Xiao Xiangxiang on the floor rolled over and her teeth were clattering with cold.

Hao Fenglou was angry and sat up and cursed: "What kind of world is this? Is it possible to be a landlord and a young master? Is it possible to be a landlord? Is it possible to be a harming person?"

Xiao Xiangxiang woke up, opened her eyes and said, "Young Master, are you talking in your sleep?"

Hao Fenglou ordered her, "Get up, roll up your quilt and go to bed!"

Xiao Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Madam said..."

Hao Fenglou said angrily: "Madam is a lady. When you get here, you have to listen to me."

He got out of bed with his shoes, put the quilt on the ground on the bed, searched in the room, and actually found a scissor, and then asked Xiao Xiangxiang to go to bed, solemnly handed the scissors to Xiao Xiangxiang and said, "Now we will sleep together. If the young master has any irregularities to you when he sleeps at night, you can use the scissors to thighs on the master's thighs, but..." Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and said, "But remember, don't tick your face, this is the guy who is eating."

Xiao Xiangxiang shook her head in a daze: "Don't have scissors, I believe in the young master."

You actually believe me? But I don’t even believe myself. Hao Fenglou felt very sad. As a villain, being so affirmed by a little girl was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face.

OK, go to bed.

Hao Fenglou also went to bed. The two of them squeezed together and felt the chill brought by Xiao Xiangxiang. Hao Fenglou felt not cold and even felt relieved.

He fell asleep in a daze, and in a daze he heard Xiao Xiangxiang's dreams again.

"Young Master... don't kiss a woman in the future, okay... You have to listen to your wife... The lady is very worried about you..."

The next day, Xiao Xiangxiang cleaned up the house in the room, and Hao Fenglou shook his fan and went downstairs.

Hao Fenglou sat on the table and chair downstairs and shouted: "Waiter, come and have a pot of tea, and another plate of peanuts."

There were no customers in the morning. The waiter leaned on the counter and was confused. When he heard Hao Fenglou's voice, he immediately cheered up. He hurriedly poured a pot of tea and sent another plate of peanuts. He smiled and said with apologies: "Young Master, the most famous one in the store is braised..."

Hao Fenglou shook the fan and said impatiently: "It's too greasy, peanuts are my favorite."

The waiter did not doubt that Hao Fenglou had no money and laughed: "Young Master really has a unique taste..."

Hao Fenglou took his fan, took a bite of tea, and then said, "Yes, do you know the Zhenjiang Naval Commander's Office?"

This is not far from the Navy Governor's Office, and the waiter is here to welcome and see him off. It would be strange if you don't know the inside story.

Xiaoer's eyes lit up and he said, "It turns out that the young master is also here to apply for the teaching of the Navy Governor's Office?"

"Teaching, what teaching?" Hao Fenglou became confused.

The waiter said happily: "Of course it is Miss Lu's family. I have been wondering why I want to study recently. What kind of family is this Lu family? Miss Lu is even more like a pearl in her eye. If she wants to study, she naturally has to hire a gentleman. The young master doesn't know that many people like the young master have been moved recently."

Hao Fenglou felt strange. There were still people fighting for a teacher? Could it be that all scholars these days have no moral integrity, and are like this young master, and are all about to fall into a beggar situation?

The waiter saw Hao Fenglou's doubts and said with a smile: "Young Master is confused. You think about it. The Lu family just rejected the marriage of the Hao family in Songjiang Prefecture. Now that he is in the boudoir, he has not betrothed to others. He teaches Miss Lu. If he accidentally wins Miss Lu's favor, wouldn't it be a good marriage? It is important to know that the Lu family is a big trend, and Miss Lu is also a beautiful country. There are countless young masters in Zhenjiang Prefecture who are dreaming about it. Who doesn't want to get the moon first when approaching the water tower? The villain sees that the young master is also a handsome talent, why not try it too. However, the Lu family's rules for choosing teaching are extremely strict, and many people return without success. Even Mr. Liu, the nephew of the prefect of Zhenjiang, was turned away, but the young master must be careful."

Hao Fenglou felt a thrill. It turned out that these guys were here to steal this young master’s woman. Thinking of this, Hao Fenglou was immediately angry and sneered: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable. I came from Songjiang Mansion. It is said that the young master whom Miss Lu had betrothed in the past was quite good-natured. There is no reason for the Lu family to refuse marriage like this."

The waiter said in surprise: "Young Master is talking about the young master of the Hao family? Tsk tsk..." Speaking of the rumored young master of the Hao family, the waiter immediately sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that Zhenjiang Mansion? This person peeked at the girl in the mansion to take a bath at the age of five, went to the brothel at the age of nine, and lost thousands of silver at the gambling house at the age of eleven. This is a famous bastard. The Lu family had refused to refuse marriage because of the old friendship between the two families. They always hoped that the young master of the Hao family would be more sensible when they grew up. However, recently he heard that he had been raiding in Hangzhou Mansion for several days and owed a lot of money for prostitution. For such a person, it would be a good thing for the Lu family to refuse marriage. If the lady of the Lu family married such a person, not only would he have to regret it for life, but to be honest, our Zhenjiang Mansion would also be regretful."

Is it so bad? Hao Fenglou felt that this waiter was slapping the face naked, which was so hateful.

But now he was unwilling to argue with the waiter. It was important to do serious things. He ate peanuts while tea and muttered in his heart: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. It turns out that this young master has long been famous in Zhenjiang. Fortunately, he did not come to visit the door rashly. With his own comments, the Lu family rejected this marriage and felt relieved. How could his own words impress them? Not being kicked out is considered as the Lu family's concern for the face they have been cultivated for two lifetimes. It seems... they can only take a roundabout way, recruit teachers... to be Miss Lu's teacher..."

The film and television scenes of many rogue teachers in later generations flashed through Hao Fenglou's mind. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "Okay, start with the teacher."
