Neighbors with powerful ministers

Chapter 9 Part 9 of the industry:

"So?" Zhai Lao waited before the collapse, but failed to understand what Xie Jie meant.Isn't it common for the Xie family to argue in front of Xie He's tablet?Does it have something to do with Xie Jie's whim now?

"They reminded me of my father, and I have to go to South Lake every year to put lanterns on the Lantern Festival. If my father knows anyone, he must be used to the once-a-year family letter. If I don't send it to him this year, he will definitely I feel that the life after death is incomplete and not happy!" Xie Jie's ability to talk to himself for his father has already reached the pinnacle, reaching the state of unity between father and me.

The old man is neither sick nor slow, and can cope with it freely: "Now you basically rely on support when you walk, and you can only rely on trembling when you talk. Do you think Alang is so big that you want you to send him a letter under this situation?"

In Daqi, "A Lang" is the address for the male master of the family, and "Lang Jun" is for the young master.

Although Xie He, the head of the family, has passed away for many years, as long as the eldest princess of Zhen Guo is still there, the Xie family will always call him that.Even if Xie Jie is eighty, he is probably still a gentleman, or he can become a prince directly, but he can't be Alang anyway.

"If you didn't tell him that I was injured, how would he know?" Xie Jie babbled.

"You've said it all, I know Alang Quan." The old man smiled slightly, showing no fear at all.

Xie Jie puffed his face, crossed his chest, and became angry.

The house elder looks at the sky, the ground, and the air, just pretending not to see his husband's expression, and he refuses to kill him.

Xie Jie let out a long sigh, and could only use his trump card: "I remember my mother said that when the time comes for Tianshi's Buddhist scriptures to be recited, I must personally go to Tianning Wanshou to invite her back?"

The full name of Tianning Wanshou is Tianning Wanshou Temple. You can tell by the name. This is a monk temple. The previous name was not so convoluted. It was changed on a whim when cousin Xie Jie came to Jiangzuo a few years ago. , I think this name is both literary and Zen.But from Xie Jie's point of view, this is the rhythm that prevents people from talking properly.

Tianning Wanshou is on the South Peak outside Jiangzuo City.

South Peak, also known as Nanshan, is a good place to climb in spring where you can have a panoramic view of Nanhu Lake.And to the north of Phoenix Mountain where Xie Mansion and Xinggong are located is South Lake.In other words, several places are basically clustered together in one place, and with the addition of the North Peak, the four sceneries are just enough for a table of mahjong.The journey is not far away. Xie Jie will go to Tianning and Wanshou, and then he will be able to go to Nanhu to put the lanterns, and he will definitely not feel tired.

"But you vomit..."

Since Xie Jie was hit on the head and woke up after sleeping for two months, he has a problem of frequent vomiting, which is harder than pregnancy in October.The medical officers couldn't explain why, so they could only comfort Xie Jie. This kind of thing has happened since ancient times, and it will be fine if he vomits.

Xie Jie doesn't know if he can vomit well, but it's true that he is used to vomit as soon as he vomits.

Wiping the corners of his mouth and enduring the bitter taste, he is another hero, which does not affect Xie Jie's continued eating, drinking and committing crimes at all.

"This is my mother's order, and I have to pick it up on time." Xie Jie bit the words to death and did not relax, "My mother must have a deep meaning behind her actions."

Zhai Lao also understands this truth. Sometimes love has far-reaching plans, and it is true that you can't usher in the big torture in the future just because you want to hide from the small tribulation in front of you.

But, but, if you miss the time to get the Tianshi, what can you miss?

Xie Jie didn't know the answer, and he didn't care, he just wanted to find an excuse to go out: "Maybe if I went to get the Tianshi, I'll be cured without medicine?"

The old man had always had faith in his heart, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense, so he agreed.

On the second day of saying goodbye to his imagined cousin, who was full of food and drink, Xie Jie ordered someone to take a donkey cart and go out.

Yes, donkey carts.

In Daqi, the most popular means of transportation is not a horse-drawn cart, but a donkey cart.The reason is simple, the country lacks horses.The vast territory in the north that is most suitable for grazing belongs to the barbarians, and the horses are on the barbarian's list of strictly prohibited exports. Daqi can't even gather enough horses for the army, let alone the lives of ordinary people.

Fortunately, the wisdom of the working people is infinite. If horses can't do it, donkeys should be used.Although the donkey is not as fast as the horse, it is more stable than the horse.Xie Jie's family does not lack horses, but given his current physical condition, Zhai Lao would rather him travel in a donkey cart.

The next morning, the donkey cart turned into an ox cart again, fully interpreting the phrase "not seeking speed, only seeking comfort".

The old man was afraid that Xie Jie would not like it, so he vigorously introduced the various benefits of the ox cart when he came up: "How many romantic and famous people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties went out to ride in an ox cart? Even A Lang had this intention before his death. The compartment is spacious and comfortable, and it is easy to travel Sit or lie down, set up mats, do whatever you like. The windows are big, so it’s very convenient for you to see the scenery outside.”

"Why don't you just make people look up to you?" Xie Jie raised his eyebrows and looked at the blue ox cart with two shafts and two wheels, and couldn't find a suitable word to complain about.

"It's not good to be influenced by riding the shoulders." The old man coughed.

Jianyu is like a sedan chair, the old man is used to saying old words, but Xie Jie is always catching up with the trend, and he will definitely know the new words of the moment even if he stays at home.

It is also true to say that it is easy to affect badly when riding on the shoulders.Influenced by Daqi's previous four emperors, Daqi has always attached great importance to humanities, so much that it even gives people an impression of being too pedantic.For example, the ministers in the court insisted on riding horses, and poor families can ride donkeys with a little personality, but there will be like-minded people who despise sitting in sedan chairs, and people will even refer to the book "Replacing Animals with People" with righteous words.

Although Xie Jie wanted to find fault and ask, excessive use of human power is cruel, but excessive use of animal power is not cruel?As for some grown-ups in the court who have a body that is not inferior to his brother-in-law at all, what did they do in their entire life to have to suffer this crime in this life?

In this way, the bullock cart moved steadily and steadily at a speed slower than passersby walking.

Xie Jie swears on his life, he has finished his cup of tea, and the bullock cart has not left his house yet.Lifting the curtain and looking out of the window, you can still see the horse head wall above Daiwa in his house from a distance.

Very slowly, very slowly, the bullock cart finally turned out of the quiet alley covered with bluestone slabs and walked onto the lively main street.

Bustling, shoulder to shoulder, hawking can be heard endlessly.If you didn't take a closer look, Xie Jie thought that the bullock cart could shrink to an inch and returned to Yongji in minutes.

The prosperity of Yongji is unimaginable to those who have never been there, and it is also missed by Xie Jie, so he has been working hard to build Jiangzuo into the second Yongji.But that would be like forcing a graceful southern lady to imitate a passionate northern beauty, no matter how you look at it, it would be awkward.

As a result, in just two months, Xie Jie didn't do anything, and his dream came true.

The ghost town that used to be desolate and uninhabited seems to have turned into a bustling market overnight, and the changes are so great that it can be called earth-shaking.

Xie Jie finally began to feel that something was wrong. It is impossible for his brother-in-law to relocate the capital before it is decided, and the whole country will know about it, right?If the common people don't know, where did these mushrooming shops come from?This is obviously not a liquid business that only wants to do business for a while, but the kind that intends to take root here in the long run.

"What happened during the days when I fell asleep?" Xie Jie muttered to himself.

Qian Jia, who was walking outside with the bullock cart, chose to be deaf at the right time.I really didn't expect that the bullock cart was so loud that he couldn't even hear what Lang Jun said in the cart.

The fourth son had a bigger reaction than Qian Jia, and began to try to divert Xie Jie's attention in various ways.

Xie Jie was just asking casually, but he really took it to heart when he saw that everyone was so abnormal.However, he has a lot of experience in fighting the enemy, and he knows very clearly that the old man or his mother may have given the password. The more he wants to know, the less likely he will know. Only by taking it slow can he succeed. great cause.

Before noon, the bullock cart finally arrived at the foot of the South Peak.

On the southern peak, there are jagged rocks and lush vegetation, but the roads up and down the mountain are smooth and wide.Because there are too many people walking, there are many people, so there will be a way.

The reason why there are so many people at Nanfeng Peak is not because Tianning Wanshou attracts many pilgrims, but because it is the largest temple fair in Jiangzuo.

Temple fairs are activities related to folk commercial and economic exchanges and promotions that rely on temples. The most famous one is the Daxiangguo temple fair in the capital.Five times a month, there are all kinds of things to sell, and it is always noisy with gongs and drums, and there are huge crowds of people.

Jiangzuo and Yongji have different styles, but they also have their own temple fairs. People from all over the world, whether they are urban or country people, love to come to Nanfeng for entertainment.

With more people, the roads will naturally be built better and better, and the surrounding facilities should quickly catch up.

This day is the last day of the Hungry Ghost Festival holiday. There must be a temple fair. Even though it is coming to an end, it is still full of people.

Xie Jie is a lively person, even if his physical condition is not ideal now, he can still persevere despite his illness.

The people around are on guard, not because they are afraid of Xie Jie's health, but because they are afraid that Xie Jie will listen to something that should not be heard. It is similar to the fact that the capital is broken, the country is dead, and even the emperor and ministers come to Jiangzuo. talk.

"It's really useless." Fang Chaoci read a friend's letter in the carriage, and unconsciously read aloud.

The entourage was stunned for a moment, but they didn't hear clearly, so they came to ask: "What did A Lang say?"

"Suddenly, in such a huge China, the one who can stand at the forefront is Princess Zhenguo, who is old enough to be everyone's grandmother. What a coward."

The attendant knew the elegant meaning by listening to the strings, and lowered his eyebrows: "Ah Lang doesn't think so?"

Fang Chaoci didn't say anything, just put the letter from his friend on the small table.Looking at Nan Gaofeng in front of him, he thought to himself that Daqi's imperial court must be worthless, but it's definitely not because the only one who can fight is Princess Zhenguo.

*South Peak and Tianning Wanshou are both real places in Hangzhou.

*Riding a donkey was popular in the Song Dynasty, because there were no horses, which is also true.There is even a Didi Donkey Service, which means that you can rent donkeys at any time in major cities as a means of transportation. It costs two hundred yuan a day, which is economical and cost-effective.Bullock carts were revived in the Southern Song Dynasty for a period of time. We do retro, and the ancients also love retro from time to time, such as pursuing Wei Jin fashion =V=

*The name of the sedan chair was only established in the Song Dynasty. If officials in the Northern Song Dynasty made sedan chairs, they would really be scolded for replacing animals with people.But in the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation changed.
