Chapter 1156

Fang Tong is dark and small, but he is a very bright man.

Cheerful, like to make friends everywhere.

He said, "brother song used to be from Yiwu. I went to Yiwu a few years ago, but I didn't stay long. There are beautiful mountains and rivers. Moreover, the people there are very good. I think you are a good man, brother song."

"I'm flattered."

It's too low vigilance to say he's a good man when we meet?

Fang Tong said, "by the way, brother song, we are also lucky. There will be a poetry meeting in Tongyu Pavilion on East Street later. They are all students who take part in the joint examination. I think you're ready to go too? Why don't you come with me and meet us and discuss knowledge?"

Gracious invitation!

Song Zhi also happens to lack such an opportunity.

He has come to Gaoding these days and hasn't attended such a party yet.

So, if you don't want to, you should.

They left the bookstore together and went to Tongyu Pavilion.

On the way, Fang Tong kept talking to him because he knew a friend.

"Brother song, you must also be a book lover."

"Books are gold and jade, which are naturally cherished."

"I also love books, so I go to the bookstore every day, but my family is poor. Some books are too expensive to afford, so I can only read them inside."

"Me too."

They finally have something in common.

All poor.

So the more we talk, the more we talk.

Fang Tong asked, "where does brother song live now?"

"At a friend's house."

"It's good to have a foothold in Gaoding." Fang Tong was very envious.

Song Zhi asked him, "where does brother Fang live?"

"Wenshe!"

Uh!

Song Zhi was shocked.

The pace inevitably slowed down.

Think you heard wrong.

He asked again, "but... The haunted wenshe?"

When he asked, Fang Tong smiled, "brother song must have heard those rumors?"

"Rumors?"

"Isn't it? It's all rumors. The more they spread, the more exaggerated they become!" Fang Tong said.

Although Song Zhi is not a curious person, he can't help trying to figure out what's going on now that he's talking about it?

Puzzled, he asked, "what's going on? Now, everyone is passing it on."

Fang Tong looked around as he walked, and then lowered his voice and said to him, "brother song, you don't know. The joint examination is held every three years. At this time, wenshe will spread such strange things. You don't have to take it seriously!"

"Will it spread? Why?" "You don't know that! Because every year when officials enter Gaoding to take the exam, many Inns begin to raise prices and many people can't afford to live. However, wenshe doesn't spend a penny and has three meals to eat. Many people from poor families want to live in, so they can save a lot of money

Money, so many people spend their best to live in, but there are so many rooms that there are not enough people to live in. Some people deliberately spread such things to dispel the thoughts of those who want to move in. "

There are other meanings between words.

Song Zhi understood it and said, "according to you, it's from those people who live in the wenshe?"

"Brother song, I didn't say that. You guessed it yourself."

"..." Song Zhi asked again, "what happened to the man who said he was frightened by ghosts this morning?"

"He's just caught cold! I don't know who spread such absurd things. It's ridiculous."

"I see." Song Zhi doubted, "is there really no ghost?"

Fang Tong smiled another day and said with a strange intention, "in fact, to tell you the truth, I have taken the exam twice. I passed Gaoding three years ago and also lived in wenshe. At that time, it also came out that many people saw it, but I didn't see it! Several people I know haven't seen it."

"Oh!"

"Well, don't say that."

Song Zhi is inconvenient to continue asking!

They go further.

I saw a group of people gathered together.

They were curious and went over to have a look.

I found a portrait on the wall.

It's a portrait of the dead painted by Ji Yunshu, but this one is copied.

The painter's skills are not as good as Ji Yunshu's. his painting is also very simple. Some colors are not pure, but we can still see the appearance of the dead.

The people gathered around the painting and pointed.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know."

"Is it really the portrait of the skull found at the gate of the city?"

"It seems so."

"How did a skull draw a portrait?"

"It is said that the government hired an expert who can touch the bones. She painted the portrait."

"And these people?"

"My cousin works in the city Department. He told me himself."

"That's great."

……

there were many discussions.

But no one knows who is in the portrait.

Song Zhi looked at the portrait and admired Ji Yunshu from his heart.

That young master is really awesome!

The portrait was drawn in just three days.

Fang Tong asked him, "brother song, have you heard about that case?"

"Yes."

"It's terrible. There are skeletons in the stone. It's terrible to think about it."

It's appalling.

Song Zhi smiled.

No words.

They didn't stay. They had to hurry to attend the poetry meeting, so they left.

There was a little girl in the crowd. She was dressed as a servant girl of a rich family and carried a basket in her hand, as if she had come out to buy.

She stared at the portrait for a long time, her curved eyebrows twisted together.

Thought for a while.

Murmured, "isn't this... Su Qiao?"

Shocked.

But I dare not say it.

He quickly got rid of the crowd and hurried back to his house.

……

When Fang Tong and Song Zhi arrived at Tongyu Pavilion, it was already dark.

Tongyu Pavilion is a gathering place for literati talents. It is said that a big man organized this poetry meeting today, so many literati came here to ask for advice from each other.

It's very lively inside.

Someone is talking about poetry.

Fang Tong took Song Zhi and sat down in an empty seat and ordered a pot of tea.

Just had a drink——

"Fang Tong, why did you come?" A man in Tsing Yi came to say hello.

Fang Tong got up, "Jiang Wen, you're not interesting enough. You agreed to come together, but you didn't wait for me."

The man in blue who was called Jiang Wen said, "if you want to go to the bookstore yourself, I'll come first." "By the way, I'll introduce you to someone." Fang Tong pointed to Song Zhi. "His name is Song Zhi. I met him in the bookstore just now. Like us, they all came to take part in the joint examination. When I saw him alone, I took him with me, and we knew each other." Then he introduced, "brother song, this is Jiang Wen

, I'm a fellow countryman. "

Song Zhi smiled mildly and arched his hand. "Brother Jiang is polite," Jiang Wen also arched his hand at him quickly. "Brother song, don't be so polite. All the people who come here are friends. Don't be so restrained. There are poems over there. Brother song, do you want to have a try?"
