Chapter Eighty-Three: Entering the Zheng Mansion for the First Time and Talking about the Zheng Family
By the time the carriage drove back to Sushui County from Qingshan Village, it was already completely dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A thin crescent moon rises in the starry night sky.
The city of Sushui is brightly lit, and the city's firelight reflects the crescent moon in the sky, as if it has reprinted a layer of mortal fireworks for the dim sky.
Jiang Huijia was originally tossed by the fast-moving carriage, and her whole body was very uncomfortable, but after arriving in the city, she lifted the curtain of the car and saw the scene in the city at this moment, and she felt a shock to her spirit.
Grandma Zheng said: "The curfew time in Sushui City is after the middle hour, and there is still about an hour before this time. ”
It was nine o'clock in the evening, Sushui City was just a small county-level city in the south of the Dajing Dynasty, and it could have such a scale, and there was even a night market, so you can imagine how prosperous those cities in the center of the Dajing Dynasty should be.
But I heard Grandma Zheng say: "In the entire Baoqing Mansion, and even in the entire Jiangnan Province, Sushui City can be regarded as a prosperous county." Do you know why?"
This overturned Jiang Huijia's perception of Sushui City, Jiang Huijia saw that Grandma Zheng was talking about sex, and immediately asked, "Why?"
Her knowledge of most aspects of this world comes from the original owner, and the original owner's knowledge is limited, and she is also lacking.
Hearing Grandma Zheng mention "Jiangnan Road" again, Jiang Huijia knew for the first time that the division of administrative regions in the Dajing Dynasty continued the old name of the Tang Dynasty in some aspects!
In addition, the Tang Dynasty implemented the state and county system, and if the Dajing Dynasty also implemented the state and county system, then the meaning of the "county" in the Dajing Dynasty is obviously different from the modern "county". From this point of view, Sushui County is bigger and more prosperous than the kind of "county" that Jiang Huijia originally thought, and it should be.
Jiang Huijia felt that she could talk to Song Yi more about this matter in the future and enhance her understanding of the world.
In this regard, she is not afraid of revealing her stuffing, after all, she has all the memories of the original owner, and she doesn't know what the native owner doesn't know, isn't it?
Grandma Zheng said: "Baoqing Mansion North Barrier Snow Ridge, South Ping Wuling, there is Sushui crossing, Shaoshui intersection, Yungui on the top, Changheng on the bottom, since ancient times it has been a traffic artery, the center of the commercial port. Baoqing Prefecture originally governed several major counties, Sushui, Conghua, Baigong, Zhaoyang, etc., and our Sushui County was the poorest. ”
Jiang Huijia nodded and said, "Now it's different from the past. ”
Grandma Zheng smiled: "Yes, now there is my Zheng family in Sushui County, and my Zheng family's Taiping and Lelou needless to say, it is a real century-old brand." Since there is Taiping Hele Building, how many people from other places have come to visit, merchants and customers, and even the whole street of Qianlou Street has risen. ”
In this regard, Grandma Zheng is not boasting, Qianlou Street, a "street of eating, drinking and having fun", is indeed rising because of Taiping and Lelou.
And such a Taiping and Lelou, the Zheng family later opened it all over Baoqing Mansion, and even opened it all over half of the Dajing Dynasty!
The huge wealth of the Zheng family can be imagined.
"Later, my old man, Guan Zhishangshu, thought of his hometown, and ordered his descendants to seek a long-term livelihood for his neighbors. When Grandma Zheng said this, her face showed pride, "Now seven or eight out of ten households in Sushui County are planting dragon tooth lilies or yellow flowers, which are guided by my Zheng family." ”
Dragon's tooth lily and yellow flower can be regarded as the special products of Sushui County, and their economic value is of course much higher than that of grain crops.
This has driven the economy of the entire Sushui County, and Grandma Zheng is proud of it, and it is not false.
But the reality is different.
At least as far as Jiang Huijia knows, there are still a few households in Qingshan Village that grow yellow flowers, but there are almost no dragon's tooth lilies.
Even Jiang Huijia heard for the first time that the cultivation of dragon tooth lilies and yellow flowers was introduced by the Zheng family.
Of course, the original body didn't care about farming, and even if she was poor in cognition in this regard, and Jiang Huijia herself was an agricultural blind, so her cognition was not counted.
Jiang Huijia roughly understood what Grandma Zheng meant, and praised immediately: "The old man cherishes his family and country, and the Zheng family's family style is admirable." ”
The two chatted as the carriage drove toward the east of the city.
The old house of the Zheng family is located in Huifeng Lane in the east of the city, and the entire street belongs to the Zheng family.
The carriage approached Zheng's mansion from the west gate, and stopped in front of the second gate, and a mother-in-law carried a sedan chair and waited in front of the second gate.
Grandma Zheng sat in a sedan chair by herself, and invited Jiang Huijia to sit in another sedan chair.
This kind of sedan chair is somewhat similar to the kind of sedan chair that Jiang Huijia used to sit in some tourist attractions in modern times. It is different from the warm sedan chair that often appears on all sides in costume TV, but is open on all sides.
Jiang Huijia has sat in a similar chair and sedan chair a few times, but she is not unaccustomed to it.
Grandma Zheng saw that her demeanor was still calm, and she was not cramped by many countrymen when they first entered the mansion, so she looked a little higher in her heart, so she said: "It's late today, since Song Niangzi is here, I will take Song Niangzi to the residence to have a look, and after settling down, I will go to ask the old lady for peace tomorrow morning." ”
This sedan chair is open on all sides, and although the two of them each sit on one, it is still very convenient to talk.
Jiang Huijia said with a smile: "The young grandmother arranged it very well. ”
Although it was getting late, the Zheng family's house was also brightly lit.
There are lanterns lit everywhere, most of these lanterns are surnamed lights, and the word Zheng is written on the top, although the shape is not special, but the garden scenery of the Zheng family house is beautiful, Jiang Huijia sits in a sedan chair all the way, and there is still a strange feeling of entering the tourist attraction.
The Zheng family's mansion is five-in, with large courtyards and small courtyards in the inner house, and various roads twisting and turning.
Everyone entered another door, but when they saw that the flowers and trees in front of them were gradually opening up, and there were weeping willows lined up, they arrived at a small lake in a house.
Jiang Huijia's previous discomfort in the carriage had long since disappeared at this time, and she was enjoying the night view of this classical mansion, when suddenly there was a burst of exclamation and noise in front of her.
First, a female voice exclaimed: "Seven ladies!
And then there were many voices of persuasion.
It was mixed with a strange "ho-ho" sound and the sound of boulders hitting the ground.
Grandma Zheng's face changed greatly, and she didn't care about chatting with Jiang Huijia at the moment, and instructed the mother-in-law who carried the sedan chair to say, "Go over quickly!"
The mother-in-law Nuo Nuo responded, the wind was under her feet, and she ran quickly to the place where the sound came from.
Jiang Huijia hurriedly held on to the handrails on both sides, knowing in her heart that she was sick again when she bumped into Zheng Qiniang.
Of course, she wouldn't be as panicked about this matter as Grandma Zheng, but she didn't want to be too indifferent on her face. He frowned slightly, and there was actually no shortage of questions in his heart.
Zheng Qiniang's disease is inevitably too frequent, and there is a gradual process from the initial onset to the frequent onset of the disease in ordinary epilepsy patients.
As Grandma Zheng said before, Zheng Qiniang has never had symptoms of this disease before, except for the first time in Xiu Yage, that is to say, she was the first person to do so that time.
After the first episode, she should theoretically go through a period of remission.
In this short period of time, why is Zheng Qiniang so different, and has such frequent and multiple episodes?
