Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In fact, only locals in Jiangnan would call this place Jinling.

People in other places either call it Shengzhou or Jiangning County.

Different from the later status, the current Jinling may not be as famous as Yuezhou

Strictly speaking, 'Jiankang City', which was once the capital of several countries, is not the same place as Jinling today.

After hundreds of years of chaotic wars, Jiankang City has long been submerged in the dust of history.

The most recent time was during the chaos of the former Sui Dynasty.

This used to be the headquarters of Fugongtuo

At that time, Datang had basically pacified the world.

The remaining traitors, three melons and two dates, are still lingering.

Datang's army had fought more than a dozen battles with Fugong Tuo, Liang Shidu, and the remnants of Gao Kaidao here!

In this way, no matter how gorgeous the city is, it will be reduced to ruins.

Today's Jinling does not look prosperous in the later generations.

It's not that the people of Tang Dynasty don't pay much attention to history.

Jinling is also known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

It's just that the title of 'Six Dynasties' is a little watery

As the capital of Soochow and Eastern Jin, naturally there is nothing to say.

The remaining four are Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen in the Southern Dynasties.

In addition, there is another important reason, that is, there are too many ancient capitals in the Tang Dynasty!

No matter how long the history is, can it compare to Luoyang?

No matter how many times the capital has been established, can it compare to Chang'an?

One day in mid-March, a gorgeous carriage appeared outside Jinling City.

Did not attract the attention of others.

Jinling's status is not obvious, but there are quite a lot of rich people!

Traffic conditions determine the economic level. Jinling has a well-developed water system and smooth land routes. Even Chang'an City cannot match it.

Xu Chu, who was sitting on the side of the carriage with a whip in his hand, sneered silently when he saw the carriage passing by.

Too bold!

There was a golden canopy on top of the carriage!

Can this thing be used by ordinary people?

In the entire Jiangnan region, the most honorable people are just a few princes.

You know, even the prince can't use a golden canopy!

Putting it in Guanzhong is enough to ransack your home and kill your head!

Moreover, there is more than one carriage with a golden canopy.

Carriages passed one after another, and almost every one of them had overruns.

Liu Bai lifted the curtain of the car, glanced outside, and murmured: "A group of people who want to die!"

"Master, should we rest in Jinling for a day before leaving?"

The person sitting next to Xu Chu was Xue Li!

The once shy boy now looks like an adult too.

Although his body size was not as good as Xu Chu's, he was not much worse.

There were four people sitting in the carriage, but because Xue Li and Xu Chu were sitting in front, the entire carriage visibly tilted forward.

Liu Bai scratched his chin and poked his head out of the car window.

The car window was big enough, the next moment, another little head poked out from beside Liu Bai, and was dragged back by Liu Bai.

"Kids don't stick their heads out of the window!"

Liu Bai said to Wang Chen with some irritability.

Among the three juniors, Liu Bai only brought Wang Chen with him.

Dugu Mou and Liu Hui are already in important positions.

This kid Wang Chen just had a funeral at home, and after he came back, he was going to die all day long.

I heard that he was bullied by relatives at home.

This time, Liu Bai took him by his side to relax.

Wang Chen sat down with his mouth curled up, mumbling what he was talking about.

Liu Bai looked around outside the window.

After taking a closer look, Jinling doesn't have a tall city wall.

Later generations of Liu Bai visited Jinling more than once.

For this place, he still quite likes it.

It's a pity that there is no trace of future generations now.

The little nostalgia left in my heart also disappeared completely.

"Then let's take a day off. After driving for several days in a row, I'm just getting ready to prepare supplies."

Everyone in the carriage, including Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er, smiled.

Although the Liu family's carriage is comfortable, it's not a big deal to spend all day in it.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant in Jinling City.

The Liu family also has property in Jinling City, but it's not a restaurant.

And opposite the restaurant is the supermarket run by Liu's family!

Xu Chu entered the restaurant to apply for a voucher for accommodation.

Liu Bai walked into the opposite supermarket with a few big and small ones.

The size of this supermarket is huge.

Even, no less than some important cities in the north.

There was a guy waiting at the door with his head bowed.

Seeing a customer coming, he stepped forward with a smile and brought over a small cart.

"Husband, it seems that the local guys don't know you"

Liu Rong'er said with a smile.

She is most annoyed by the troubles brought about by her identity.

The family, no matter where they go, are like stars holding the moon.

People are embarrassingly polite.

It's really rare to come across a place where no one knows them.

Liu Wan'er smiled lightly, and said: "Really, the guys here don't even know our husband!"

Behind the two women, Wang Chen walked with his head drooping.

Xue Li walked at the back, pushing and shoving Wang Chen.

I don't know what troubles this child has encountered.

After arriving at the food area, Wang Chen seemed to be happier.

He and Xue Li each pushed the cart, taking things from the shelves.

Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er picked and picked, and also took two or three items.

Clutching a folding fan in his hand, Liu Bai snatched it from a certain fat man, and looked at the egg counter not far away with a strange expression on his face.

Among a group of old ladies scrambling for cheap eggs, a middle-aged man in his 40s looked particularly abrupt.

He was wearing an ordinary short shirt, not much different from ordinary people wandering on the street.

What's more special is that the hairstyle on his head is reserved for scholars.

And there is also a sapphire hairpin that looks very valuable!

It turned out to be Chu Suiliang!

Chapter 1604 A few words of scolding are not painful or itchy, how painful is it to hit them

Liu Bai never expected to meet Chu Suiliang here.

Chu Suiliang was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and his hometown is in Qiantang County.

Since the failure of the official struggle many years ago, Chu Suiliang has basically been indifferent in the court.

Even when he was in court, he never said a word.

Strictly speaking, he is not a bad guy.

On the contrary, he has done many things for Datang.

Especially during his tenure as secretary and supervisor, he can be said to be conscientious.

When he was a local official, he also formulated no less than favorable policies for the people.

The only flaw, perhaps, is that he worships Changsun Wuji too much.

Worshiped to the point where even his own father was dragged into the water.

Worship to the point of ruining my life

Liu Bai has never had the habit of squeezing his opponents.

He basically turned a blind eye to those Zhangsun Wuji's former team members.

He vaguely remembered that in the seventh year of Zhenguan, he had met Chu Suiliang at the imperial court, and several times at the mansions of the three provinces.

Judging by his appearance, he should have resigned by now.

It stands to reason that the Chu family is also a well-known family, why did this guy come to the supermarket and grab cheap eggs with the old ladies?

Is it possible that the family has fallen?

Or, when he came to Jinling City, he encountered robbers on the way, and now he can only earn a living by robbing eggs with old ladies?

In supermarkets, scenes of old men grabbing eggs are really rare.

The eggs in Liu's Supermarket are quite cheap, [-]% lower than the market price!

It is a rule that has been set since the establishment of the supermarket. As a welfare, half of the products are sold and half are given to the local people.

In the beginning, there were quite a few old men who were sent out by their mothers-in-law to buy cheap eggs.

But those who dared to come and snatch it were basically beaten up by the old ladies with black noses and swollen faces.

Judging by Chu Suiliang's posture, it shouldn't be the first time he has done this.

He took this bag made of fine hemp rope, moved left and right among the old ladies, and forced a 'blood path'!

The technique is also extremely clever.

Put your five fingers together and poke inside, and you can actually pinch four whole eggs!

Ordinary people can do it, but it is too powerful to ensure that none of the eggs are broken.

For some reason, Liu Bai suddenly felt that Chu Suiliang was a little pitiful.

This bigwig-level figure who used to call the wind and rain in the court has been reduced to such a point, who sees it and has no idea?

"Cough-cough-"

Liu Bai took a few steps forward, coughed a few times, trying to attract Chu Suiliang's attention.
