The ox cart walked slowly, and as the days passed, the relationship between the few people gradually became more harmonious. The road became more and more prosperous, and there was never a single place not far from the village.There are more people, cars and horses on the road.Some peasants on foot were dressed more carefully than the ones I had seen before.Hair combed into a bun, feet in clogs, and some women even put powder on their faces. Although there are few men, you can see some of them.

"Arima, why do I think it's getting hotter and hotter this day?" Yuan leaned out of the car window and chatted directly with Arima. These days, the gap between the two of them has become less, although it is inevitable that they still feel the same in their hearts. We were prepared, but we got lonely on the road, so we chatted with each other.Ah Yuan talked a lot, and You Ma talked less, but the two of them could talk together.

Arima waved his whip and said, "We can reach Heian-kyo today, of course it's warm."

"Is Heian-kyo so good? How is it better than Edo?" Ah Yuan leaned forward and yelled, and the sparse passers-by on the road all smiled kindly.

"Ping'an capital has spring on the [-]th. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. There are abundant supplies. There are four rivers in the city that can be named. The buildings are extremely magnificent. How about the 'people on the clouds' choose this place as their capital?"

"Hmph, how can this 'Gongjia' compare to our 'Samurai' now? I heard that they are just empty shells, and the Rashomon on Suzaku Street has collapsed for many years, and I don't see them repairing it." Yuan Disapprovingly, Lai Fang opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the boastful Madoka, and then at her leisurely posture, and Arima did not avoid this topic.Along the way, the two of them belonged to the "public family" and "wu family", and she also knew a little bit by half-guessing.

"Gongjia" refers to the literati nobles, "Wujia" refers to the warrior nobles, and "people on the clouds" refers to the royal family. Even if they are down and out, everyone is still used to calling them this way, and they feel a little awe in their hearts. Just like what A Yuan said, they are born It's decided.Lai Fang was surprised many times that there is a strict hierarchy here, but everyone seems to be not too shy when talking about these topics, just like modern people discussing celebrities, and the people being talked about seem to be proud of it.People say that they travel thousands of miles and read thousands of volumes of books. Lai Fang has only been out for less than ten days, and she has obtained more information than her cat who studied hard in the castle tower for two years.She was referring, of course, to the folklore aspect.

Arima's temperament is slower than Madoka's, but the two occasionally argue like this, and they are not always at a disadvantage. "All the expenses of the royal family are only [-] shi a year, and the highest position in the public is only [-] shi. This still depends on the 'public four people six', how many can be kept in the hand, if you want face, you don't care about the face, if you want the face, you don't care about the face." The words of having a horse made Ah Yuan short of arrogance, which naturally belonged to the shogunate Arrangements and expenses are also received from the shogunate.Lai Fang thought, in fact, the royal family at this time already has the meaning of a constitutional monarchy.The same is true of the history she read here. The royal family has been in decline for a long time. In her opinion, it is inconceivable that the royal family still exists.

"Hmph, anyway, Edo is no worse than Heian-kyo." A Yuan said angrily, she was targeting Arima, and she opposed Arima's support, sometimes just for the sake of opposition.Yu Xumo has been listening to them chatting, he likes this, listening to others' words, although he doesn't make a sound, he seems to be involved in it.Lai Fang thought, at this moment, it's time for Yu Xumo to smooth things over, and sure enough, he asked, "Where are you staying tonight?"

"I stayed at the 'Three Bridges' tonight. From now on, I've been on the 'Tokaido 53 times'! The road will get better and better in the future." Arima also stretched his waist, feeling a little happy.She was really tired after driving the ox cart these days, but fortunately Ah Yuan would ask her to talk to her from time to time, otherwise she would be bored to death.This is one-third of the journey from Kii to Heiankyo. It took ten days to go on the "Tokaido 53 times". Only fifteen days.It's easy to see how easy it is.

Lai Fang translated it in his mind, roughly meaning that the roads ahead are all national highways, and starting from Heianjing, they are real expressways.It's just that she is more familiar with "Hokkaido", but much less familiar with "Tongkaido".It's just that they have been heading east along the road, and it is quite smooth to understand.

"Miss Si, let's stay at 'Otsu-juku' today, you can also appreciate the charm of the 53rd time, and we can also wash up and refresh ourselves."Lai Fang heard her mention before that these 53 times are the rest places along the way, which evolved from official post stations. After getting on the expressway, there will be one every few miles, which is equivalent to the current rest stop.They won't stay everywhere, but it's still very convenient. There can be dozens of cage houses in a large dormitory.This also shows that the quality of life of people in this era is not bad, there is enough to eat and the world is considered peaceful, otherwise there would not be such a large supply.

Lai Fang also said in a good mood, "Then I will definitely buy a copy of the "Ichimoku Tamahoko" you mentioned." "Haha, you still remember, there are 53 detailed pictures and texts on it." Lai Fang She was still very interested in the "guidebook" at this time, and she remembered another thing.When it's convenient, buy some pens and ink, and draw a map along the way. At this time, the map looks like fog to her.

When they arrived in Heianjing, it was already afternoon, and they went to the "clearance office" to sign the paperwork, and they decided to go for a stroll in the city before rushing to the camp.When Ah Yuan learned of this decision, she was both happy and worried. She was happy because she was able to go to Ping Anjing and see the bustling city; "Miss, we must stay in Otsu at night, but we must not stay in the city, it's too expensive!" Looking at Ah Yuan's young age, but a look of worrying about the country and the people, Lai Fang felt moved again. Funny again.She solemnly agreed, and promised to only buy some paper and pens, Ah Yuan finally became happy.

Heianjing is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on the other. It is located in a basin, which is considered to be a good place, just like Sichuan.In fact, it is a blessed land with abundant supplies, mountains and rivers, and strategically speaking, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.However, the good location was ruined by the royal family and became the current companion capital.Looking at the wide street, Lai Fang could run three bullock carts side by side. Along the way, there was a lot of traffic, and he looked depressed.Row upon row of pavilions and pavilions along the road, everyone on the road has their hair tied, their clothes, good or bad, are all washed clean and smooth, and they walk gracefully.From the back view, you can't tell who is more noble.

Lai Fang was recommended by Arima, and went to the branch of Edo "Gengshutang" in Heiankyo, and chose paper and pen, but there were dozens of types of paper, with different textures, different embellishments, and incense, sprinkled with gold. of.Lai Fang looked at the maid who warmly greeted the guests, and thought to himself, it seems that the general did not embezzle the royal family and the public, but gave too much money.In fact, she wronged the general. The royal family has survived to this day, so there is naturally a way to survive.It's just that the title of the royal family and the public is enough for their younger generations to touch.Just like poor samurai would intermarry with businessmen they called "upstarts", the exchange of money and status was nothing more than that.It's just that Lai Fang is still unclear at this time.She was not shocked by the prosperity at this time, but what shocked her was the gap between the rich and the poor in this era.

Yu Xumo also bought some light daily necessities after all kinds of refusals. What satisfied Lai Fang the most was that he bought a bonnet.Lai Fang finally understands the feeling of ancient men asking their daughter-in-law to wear a hat when they go out. It is not a question of whether they are stingy or not, and whether they have a strong desire to control, but a question of how much trouble they cause.I don't know if I don't go out, but Yu Suma's appearance is definitely outstanding. At this time when the ratio is small, it is simply synonymous with trouble.She thought that the situation would get better when there were more men in such a big place as Ping An Jing.I don't know if it's because the appearance is too safe for those who come out, and Yu Xumo attracted countless onlookers when he went shopping in a shop.

Lai Fang didn't feel that her vanity was satisfied. If she had a little bit of it at first, it disappeared in the final pushing and pushing with everyone.In this severe winter, she sweated all over her body before transporting the man back to the ox cart.At this time, she realized that her second sister kidnapped Yu Xumo, not because her mind was trapped by the door.Before, she had no concept of the average appearance of this era.

Yu Xumo never got out of the cart since then, and Arima, who has been to Heianjing countless times, has been guarding by the ox cart.Ah Yuan and Lai Fang's family went shopping, and at the end of the visit, Lai Fang also took a rest on the ox cart.Only Ah Yuan walked around happily, which made Lai Fang extremely admired, and usually he couldn't see that Ah Yuan had such strength.In fact, Lai Fang has never known what is the fun of not buying it just now. In her previous life, she also asked her friends countless times.What she got in return was the merciless contempt of her friends, who despised her for not being a woman.Now it seems that even though men and women are reversed, the fact that women love shopping has not changed.

When the group finally arrived at Otsuju, it was completely dark.Lai Fang looked at it from the lights of the cage house, and it was not as prosperous as imagined, probably because it was too close to Heian-kyo.Rich people live in the city, and those without money don't live in cage houses.The cage houses are not far apart, and seeing them coming in an ox cart, they are still enthusiastically solicited.When Lai Fang heard that some stores hinted at "special services", she was still deeply shocked by the long-standing tertiary industry in this island country.But at this time, Suma's strengths were revealed. When he got off the bullock cart, his eyeballs shattered to the ground, and the pimps immediately retreated.

In the end, Lai Fang let Arima choose to live in a hatchery house that did not actively recommend "special services".It's not that she's hypocritical, it's not that she feels at ease living in this way, the partitions in the cage house are too thin, she still wants to have a good rest at night, and doesn't want to listen to the performance.Besides, it was embarrassing for her to live with Yu Xumo, but it would be even more embarrassing if they actually met.In fact, Lai Fang is still hypocritical.
