Chapter 10 Bamboo Horse

Zhang Zhaohua said: "Auntie, I have heard this story. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Yue's eyebrows were raised, and he smiled: "What, Ah Hua has heard of it?"

"Not only have I heard of it," Zhang Zhaohua nodded similarly and said, "I have also heard the follow-up story." ”

"Oh, there is a follow-up to this story?" Zhang Yueshi said in disbelief: "Then you can hear it." ”

"It was said that after this person blew the matchmaker away, he turned his head and told his wife," Zhang Zhaohua said: "After hearing this, my wife was furious, scolded him for being a fool, and said: 'My son is one year old this year, and he will be the same age as his daughter next year, how can he not be matched!'"

This time, the grain chief's wife laughed and said, "It's all a village husband and a foolish woman, and the matter of one or two years old is so unclear!"

Zhang Yueshi also laughed along, but according to Zhang Zhaohua, this smile was very reluctant. She looked Zhang Zhaohua up and down, and said, "This girl has a very clever mouth, I don't know how Ah Gong taught, why don't you want to enlighten Brother Duan'er, but I want to send it to the teacher!"

There was no complete education system in this era, especially in the period when the country had just been founded. There are very few people who can read and write in Yongcheng County, but there are only two people who can read and write in Yongcheng County.

If there are teachers, there will be a place to ask questions, which is much better than in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. The great Confucian who studied under the door when he was young was found after looking for an unknown number of places, and he served under the door for a year before he entered the hall to study the scriptures. Zhang Zhaohua remembered that at this time, there was a celebrity named Song Lian, who wrote an article "Sending Dongyang Horses to Life", which said, "There are no masters, celebrities and travelers, and they are hundreds of miles away, and they are the first to reach the scriptures from the township and ask questions." The first Da Delong Wangzun, the disciples of the disciples filled his room, and did not taste a little resignation. "It's about the same path to study.

No wonder Zhang Yue's complained, the grain chief refused to give his grandson but gave an irrelevant doll enlightenment, and it was a female baby, which made her even more unable to figure it out. But what she didn't understand, Zhang Zhaohua didn't understand either.

"Okay, okay, let's mess around," Yue grabbed a handful of caramel from the table and gave it to her, and said, "Brother Duan, take your sisters and sisters to play, I won't be restrained by you today." ”

Brother Duan'er shyly poked his head out from behind the servant, and looked at Zhang Zhaohua again, seeing that Yue's heart was even more uncomfortable, but before she could speak, Zhang Zhaohua had already jumped off the kang and ran out of the house with a smile.

It can be seen that Mrs. Grain Chief and Zhang Yue's family have something to discuss, Zhang Zhaohua ran to the open space in the back room by himself, where there is a crossbar, tied with a swing rope, and she can't swing a few steps, but it is the tool she is playing with now, and when she is a year or two older, the swing will not be able to support her.

Zhang Zhaohua sat on it and swayed by herself, and the girls brought by Brother Duan'er and Yue's family next to her all bit their fingers and looked at her. Zhang Zhaohua saw that this girl was born, and asked, "Where are you from, and what is your name?"

"My name is Tiantian," the girl stared at the caramel in her hand, and a suspicious silver thread slipped down the corner of her mouth, "I'm from Wangji Town." ”

Zhang Zhaohua saw that she was very cute and cute, so he divided three of the caramel for her, and when she saw Brother Duan, who was looking at her pitifully, she said, "Brother Duan, what kind of relative is Tiantian in your family?"

"She's my cousin, my cousin. Brother Duan muttered, and lowered his head in shame.

Zhang Zhaohua can see him five or six times a year, but the shy look he shows every time is still very novel, so he said: "Brother Duan, you are not a girl, why are you so afraid?"

Brother Duan'er's face flushed slightly, as if he wanted to refute a sentence or two, but after all, he only heard two buzzing sounds like mosquitoes. Zhang Zhaohua didn't ask him, but continued to ask Tian Tian: "How long have you been in the city?

Tian Tian was also stunned by the question, she was actually cute, but her cheeks were a little shrunken, her skin was also a degree darker, and she was a little younger than Brother Duan'er, just holding the caramel like a squirrel and licking it, which made Zhang Zhaohua funny.

"I've been here for a month," Tian Tian said, "I only went to Xiaomen Street in the city, and when I went, it was dark, and I didn't see anything clearly." ”

Zhang Zhaohua talked to her, feeling that at this time, even if it was Yongcheng or Guidezhou, I am afraid that there is no condition to form a prosperous commercial market.

"She hasn't been to any fun places in the city," Duan Ge'er suddenly said on the side: "The street in Ximen is full of flower markets, which only open once a month on the first day of the month, and there are many fresh and interesting things in the flower market!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhaohua was a little interested, he took out an endorsement-like tone and said carefully: "There are five bridges in Yongcheng City, five city gates in the city wall, and two in the east gate. One is the water gate, and it is the land passage of the Sui Di Post Road, and the other is the passage from Yongcheng to the Xuzhou Post Road. In addition to the two gates of the east gate, there are large and small markets on the side of the other three gates in the southwest and north, among which the west market is the largest, and the people who come and go are the most, there are people from Shangqiu, Ningling, and Luyi counties, all come to the west market to play. ”

"What are the deals in these markets?" Zhang Zhaohua asked.

"The north gate sells more fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, and the fruit is the most;" Duan Ge'er snapped his fingers and said: "The south gate is an iron workshop, a leather market, a shoe shop, a hat shop, an umbrella shop, a carpenter camp, selling tin utensils, bamboo goods, sand boxes, furniture and everything. ”

"The west gate is full of buildings," Duan Ge'er said, "There are shops in front, and houses in the back." Hundreds of goods, everything. Moreover, the faΓ§ade is wider than that of the north and south cities, and there are dozens of jugglers at night alone. Butβ€”"

He thought for a while and said, "I don't know what's going on lately, these craftsmen are not free, it is said that the state government is summing up their division of labor, and they have to divide it quite finely, and the carvers alone have to divide what armor piercers, coopers, ink potters, carvers and so on, and they have to be arranged into shifts, and they don't know what to do." ”

"Usually my mother has to go to the West Market every three or five days to pick up needlework, and I don't go out much recently. Duan Ge'er said: "I think it's not very smooth in the market, so my mother didn't take her out to play." ”

As Duan Ge'er spoke, he suddenly became excited without knowing what he thought, took out something from his sleeve, and said, "Look, what is this?"

Zhang Zhaohua went up to take a look, only to see that it was a drawing with colorful green grids, and if you looked closely, it was written that the dense ones were actually official positions.

"This is called the promotion chart, haven't you seen it?" Brother Duan became proud and said, "It's fashionable in the museum, everyone loves to play." ”

On this square drawing, there are many rectangles drawn with black lines. Each rectangle is divided into three parts, one is the name of the official position, the second is the rank of the official position, and the third is the promotion method of the game.

Zhang Zhaohua took a closer look, the lower left corner is the starting point, and it is listed in turn on the right: Bai Ding, Tong Sheng, Case Head, Prison Student, Xiucai, Di Sheng, Juren, Xie Yuan, Jinshi, Huiyuan, Chuanlu, Tanhua, Bangyan, Champion, the center of this drawing is Taibao, Taifu, Taishi, they are the highest level, all of them are a product.

There are five yamen around the central circle, namely the six yamen, the yamen of the Duchayuan, the yamen of Jiuqing, the yamen of the Jingfu and the yamen of the Hanlin Yuan, and their ranks spread from high to low to the periphery.

On the periphery, there are officials from the yamen of the prefectures and counties outside Beijing. The lowest can be the unentered, like the warden.

Each yamen of different colors has a different name of the official, and the name of the official has a grade and a judgment below. Indicate the rewards and punishments for officials. The judgment is divided into virtue, talent, merit, and stolen goods, and if you transfer to virtue or talent, you will be promoted, and if you transfer to stolen goods, you will be transferred or promoted at the same level, and if you transfer to stolen goods, you will be degraded if you are corrupt and pervert the law.

At the beginning of the game, everyone starts with the starting hand, takes turns rolling the dice, and moves forward and backward according to the judgment in the dice and the description of the position. For example, at the starting point, throwing "virtue" is promoted to "case head"; throwing "talent" is promoted to "childchild"; throwing "gong" is promoted to "white ding"; throwing "stolen goods" is not moving.
