Chronicles of Ancient Life

In modern times, most ordinary people can go out and travel, and they are very happy.Because travel means enjoying beautiful scenery, eating delicious food, and relaxing.And it also means that you have money and leisure.Of course, there was a premise before this that most scenic spots and scenic spots at that time-the transportation was convenient.This is an important point to consider before traveling.

Now Yu Jiaze is experiencing for himself the feeling of inconvenient transportation.Yu Jiaze regarded going to Dingyang as a long-distance trip, and with a child like himself, he would definitely not hurry.On the way, you can take a look at the scenery and experience an ancient inn by the way.But Yu Jiaze still underestimated the hardships of the ancient journey, and overestimated his own physical condition.

The ancient carriages were not so comfortable to ride in. Except for the side where the door was opened, there were wooden boards against the side walls for people to sit on.You can imagine that the author's is a hardwood board (you can have a seat cushion, but can it be compared with a modern car cushion), the backing is still a hardwood board, and the wheels are still hardwood.The dirt road is uneven, full of potholes, bumps and shakes from time to time, and people inside are easy to bump into.As soon as Yu Jiaze got into the car, he found that the windows were narrow and the inside was dark.If you want to see the scenery outside, you have to open the curtain yourself.Before he could take a closer look at the scenery outside, the carriage shook, and Yu Jiaze's forehead made intimate contact with the wall of the carriage.Yu Jiaze couldn't force the car to be stable, so he climbed directly into his father's arms, brazen enough to find someone to cushion him.It's a pity that the human flesh mat couldn't save Yu Jiaze. Within an hour, Yu Jiaze was already dizzy and wanted to feel sick.Yu Jiaze, who never got traffic sick in his previous life, got carsick!This is the first time in my life to ride a car, and I am gloriously motion sick!

When Yu Jiaze was dizzy, he still thought that horse-drawn carriages were already a high-end means of transportation in ancient times, and he hadn't had the opportunity to experience the donkey carts and ox carts in the countryside when he was young.Hehe, it's just unimaginable.

Not only Yu Jiaze, but even Yu Wenli felt extremely uncomfortable.Seeing one or two of them, Lin Zijun hurriedly went to the car behind to ask Yu Wenmin for a jar of sour plums, and let the father and son each swallow one.Putting away the remaining plums, Lin Zijun held his son in his arms distressedly, and pinched his head.Some couldn't help laughing at her husband and said, "You work as an ox cart in the village to and from the county all day long, and you can't bear the wind with the wind open all around. How come you look like this when you sit in this expensive carriage?"

Yu Wenli felt better with the plum in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Isn't it? The bullock cart with air leaks from all sides is fine, so why can't this comfortable carriage be unbearable?"

Yu Jiaze rolled his eyes while leaning on his father's shoulder, just like some people in modern times can make tractors and the back of trucks, but are not lucky enough to make comfortable cars.Poor airflow, stuffy.There are other reasons, that is, personal physical problems.This was the case with Yu Jiaze's former friends, everyone went out together, and when others rushed away, he had to look around for an airtight motorcycle to sit on, and joked to himself: Our body is really cheap!

Yu Jiaze was carried out of the carriage in a daze, and felt that he had entered a somewhat messy room. He didn't wake up until he heard the sound of "shopkeeper", and tried to open his eyes to see what this ancient inn was like.It didn't mean that Jiaze struggled to separate his upper and lower eyelids, a wet towel stuck to his face, and Yu Jiaze woke up completely.

Seeing that his son had woken up, Lin Zijun rested his forehead against his son and tried to feel relieved if he didn't have a fever.

It was past noon, Lin Zijun woke up Yu Jiaze to have lunch.Just in this wild store, buy a bowl of hot soup, then a plate of green vegetables, and then take out the sauced meat that comes with it, and deal with it in one meal with steamed buns.Of Yu Jiaze's group, only two eggs were placed in front of Yu Jiaze.I heard from the guy just now that the eggs cost ten cents each.Yu Jiaze knew that on weekdays, one penny could buy two eggs in the village. It seemed that they were far away from the village.This is not the inn that Yu Jiaze imagined, but after looking around, Yu Jiaze realized that it was the wild shop often mentioned in ancient poems.

"When there is a chicken in the wild store, the Xiaoxiao bus moves."The wild shop in ancient times is similar to the inn in modern film and television dramas. It is a place for pedestrians to rest on the road and provide food, drink and accommodation.The other type is more like a small restaurant by the side of a modern road, only for tourists to eat and rest, without accommodation.Of course, no matter which kind of conditions are good, the word "wild" shows that there are few people around, and the natural conditions are not good there.

This small shop has only three thatched huts, and the tables, chairs and stools are placed in the shed outside, and there are no more than four or five tables. Apart from them, there are only three or two pedestrians resting.Yu Jiaze thought that this road didn't seem to be an important location, and people like himself had to go on the road in the afternoon, so I don't know if there is a place to stay at night?

Yu Jiaze was just thinking about where to stay at night.Shen Bai walked over and sat directly at Yu Jiaze's table.After leaving Shili Village, Shen Bai stopped talking about the young master and shut up about the young master. It seems that Shen Bai's status should not be a housekeeper or a staff member, but more like a close subordinate.

Shen Bai smiled at Yu Jiaze, then turned his head and said to Wen Li and Yu Wenmin, "This is not the route that ordinary people often take to go to Dingyang, it is a shortcut taken by escort agencies and merchants. The road is safe, but there are fewer people. You can reach Wan'an County by driving in the afternoon, and there will be an inn to stay in at night. Taking the official road tomorrow will not be as bumpy as it is today."

"It's all up to you, you can arrange it." Yu Wenmin replied.Yu Wenli also expressed that he followed Shen Bai's arrangements.After resting for half an hour, everyone started to hurry.

When Yu Jiaze woke up at night, he was in the inn room. When he got off the car this time, Yu Jiaze was unconscious.Dinner was also eaten in the room, and after washing up, Yu Jiaze slept on the bed in the legendary Tianzihao guest room.To be honest, Yu Jiaze thinks the guest room is pretty good, not too big or too small, neat and clean, and the bedding is brought in, so I don't know if the original ones are not clean or smelly.When I was about to fall asleep, I was still thinking, how much would it cost for such a condition?

Yu Jiaze wanted to visit the real ancient inn last night, but he woke up in the morning in a carriage.Yu Jiaze felt a little pity, but thinking of the opportunity in the future, he didn't think too much about it, so he leaned on the window and started looking at the wild scenery.

Guandao is the abbreviation of the ancient Guanma Avenue, and the ancient officials were also called post roads, and post stations were set up along the way.In fact, it is equivalent to a modern national road.Generally, the capital is the center, connecting the main arteries of the provinces, and the provincial capitals also communicate with each other. Some important military and economic towns will also have official roads to facilitate military orders and smooth exchanges.

The official road is naturally flat and smooth, and the carriage is much more comfortable.There are more pedestrians, vehicles and horses on the road than yesterday, it seems that Dingyang Mansion will be very lively and prosperous.Yu Jiaze couldn't help feeling sorry that he was still illiterate, and there were not as many maps and geographical introductions in ancient times as in modern times.Fine maps were considered a kind of military secret in ancient times, so you can't know the territory and geographical environment of the Qin Dynasty by yourself?Where is your state capital?

After driving for a day, when it was getting dark, Yu Jiaze was sitting on the floor of the carriage, fiddling with a wooden jigsaw puzzle.Yu Jiaze felt a little strange when he suddenly heard "Stop" yelled ahead, shouldn't he stop at this time?Didn't I just say that it will take more than half an hour to arrive at the place where we stay?

Yu Wenli opened the car door and asked the driver, "What happened?".

The coachman is a strong man with a good appearance. In the past two days, he always likes to tease Yu Jiaze and tell Yu Jiaze what he has seen and heard about the Northland.

The coachman had already gone to the front and came back. When he heard Yu Wenli's inquiry, he hurriedly explained, "A carriage broke down ahead, blocking the way ahead. Mr. Shen has already sent someone to help, and he can leave in a while. The young master will have to sit still later, the weather is bad and it will rain soon. When the road clears up, the carriage will have to run."

Yu Wenli felt relieved after hearing this, and asked, "Do you have rain gear for driving?"

The coachman laughed heartily when he heard the words, "Haha, thank you for your concern. We are used to the coir raincoat and bamboo hat. You don't have to worry, go back to the car. It's windy."

Yu Wenli also laughed and went back into the car.

Sure enough, not long after, the sound of the whip sounded, and the coachman shouted, "Sit still!". "Da da" the horse's hooves sounded like drums, hitting the ground, and the speed of the carriage became faster and faster.It was only then that Yu Jiaze realized that the speed of the past two days was really slow, even if he was on his way, he didn't go so fast?This is the feeling of rushing, the speed of riding a horse.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, making the treetops rustle, and the wind coming in through the window made Yu Jiaze's neck feel chilly.Hurrying quickly, the carriage finally entered the post station before the raindrops fell.

Tonight, Yu Jiaze and his party stayed at the inn.In ancient times, a station of sixty miles was almost a day's journey, and there was a shop in the middle of ten miles.The post station can be used for officials to travel overnight. Of course, officials and travelers do not live in the same class.If there are no officials to spend the night, ordinary people can live in good rooms for a little more money.

Yu Jiaze and his party were lucky. Although there were many people sheltering from the rain in the station, there were no officials.Yu Jiaze didn't know what evidence Shen Bai had shown the Yi Cheng at the station, anyway, a group of them lived in the best rooms.

There are many people sheltering from the rain at the post station, and the kitchen is a bit busy.Lin Zijun went to the kitchen in person, spent money to buy some vegetables, borrowed the stove, made a pot of ginger soup and a few side dishes, and brought them upstairs.After Yu Jiaze washed his hands and face with hot water, he was restrained and poured a bowl of ginger soup.Spicy tears are coming out, he still doesn't like the taste of ginger.

Yu Jiaze got into bed after soaking his feet, listened to the sound of rain outside, tightened the quilt, and felt drowsy.

Before Yu Jiaze fell asleep, he was woken up by the noise outside. Wrapped in the quilt, he got up and whispered, "Abba." Yu Jiaze wanted to ask if something happened, but there was no one in the room .

Yu Jiaze put on his clothes, climbed out of bed and put on his shoes.It suddenly became quiet outside.Yu Jiaze opened the door, feeling strangely quiet outside, walked along the corridor, turned the corner, and suddenly found two pairs of delicate boots in front of him.

Yu Jiaze raised his head, and found that it was a handsome man, leading a beautiful young lady with luxurious clothes. "It's either rich or expensive. No, it must be the family of the rich and powerful." "Fortunately, I didn't call it out." These were the thoughts that came to Yu Jiaze's mind.

Yu Jiaze was surprised, and directly opened his mouth to shout, "Hello, uncle, hello, little brother."Yu Jiaze didn't know what the aristocrats called his married brother, and he didn't know what the identities of the two extraordinary people in front of him were.At my age, it is always right to pretend to be obedient and call him uncle or brother.

After all, Yu Jiaze was not a three-year-old ignorant child, he acted too calmly.Shouldn't the first reaction of a child be to be afraid of a stranger who suddenly appears on a rainy night?Perhaps it could also be that the ignorant are fearless!

However, the young noble brother didn't show any surprise on his face.Instead, he leaned down, smiled and said softly, "What a well-behaved child, go back to the house when it's cold outside." After a pause, he turned back and asked the person who led the way, "Where are the parents of this child?"

Behind him were several attendants, among them the one wearing the insignia of the post station, bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Return to your lord, both of you go to vacate the room..."

The young brother frowned slightly, interrupted the attendant and said, "Go and find the child's parents."

The delicate and beautiful young lady in front of Yu Jiaze had the same expression from the beginning to the end, with a cold face.The expression on Yu Jiaze's face didn't change either, because he didn't know what expression a child should have now.The two of them just faced each other face to face, expressionless, as if comparing "three two one, wooden man".

Seeing the expressions of the two, the young brother suddenly laughed, and the smile became a little more real. "Really funny kids!".She moved her son's little hand and asked, "Brother, do you want to play with my brother?"

Before the boy called Brother Zhen could speak, Yu Wenli and Lin Zijun had already walked over from the other side of the corridor.Seeing that the child was fine, Lin Zijun's expression softened instantly.When they got to the front, the two of them saluted the young nobleman first.

The young brother raised his hand and said softly, "There's no need to be too polite, take the child back quickly!" After speaking, he turned and walked forward with his attendants.

Lin Zijun hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child, felt the child's hand was cold, and held the child's hand.Said to Yu Wenli who wanted to speak, "Go back to the room first, let's talk later. The child's hands are cold."

The two returned to the room with the child in their arms.Lin Zijun kissed his son on the cheek first, and asked, "Xiaoye, are you scared? Dad is going out for something, next time I will definitely not leave Xiaoye alone in the room. From now on, Xiaoye will not go out alone, just stay in the room obediently." In the room, wait for Dad to come back, understand?"

Yu Wenli patted his son's head and said, "My dear son, listen to your father."

Yu Jiaze once again sighed in his heart that he was too young, so troublesome.But he said obediently, "Daddy, Daddy, I understand." By the way, act coquettishly to prevent the parents from continuing their education, "Daddy, I'm sleepy, you can sleep with me, okay?"

After hearing this, Lin Zijun took off his outer shirt and shoes for Yu Jiaze, and put him under the blanket.He patted his son to sleep.

Then, this time, Yu Jiaze failed to resist the child's biological clock and really fell asleep.The plan to listen to the conversation of my parents can only be in a dream.
