Chapter 07 Suzhou

Out of the alley, the carriage went all the way to the east gate of the city, very smooth, and when it reached the east street, the street was crowded, especially near the city gate, it was crowded, and the traffic was busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The barking of horses, the barking of donkeys, the shouting, the shouting, and the shouting of the defenders of the city, mingled together, and it was more lively than the people who rushed to the market!

Old man Wang drove the carriage and followed the team slowly, it took almost an hour to get out of Yizhou City, the official road was full of people walking, Yu Nianniang looked at the tall Yizhou city wall, and gradually Yizhou City became smaller and smaller in sight, and it slowly became a memory!

When they left Yizhou, the speed of the various prefectures and households immediately increased, and the coachman raised his whip and whipped the horse, and the horse ran quickly on the official road, and the official road immediately raised a cloud of dust. The donkey cart behind was not weak, and it ran after the cart.

Out of Yizhou, all the way to the east, even if you enter the GS range when you arrive in Shazhou, you will enter the Yumen Pass after Shazhou, Guazhou, and Suzhou.

As long as you enter the Yumen Pass, you will be safe, and you can slow down the speed of your journey at that time.

No one doesn't understand this principle, so when they go out of the city from Yizhou, everyone is speeding up and hurrying for a moment.

The quilt on the car is thick, Yu Nianniang and his party are not fast, and they don't feel how bumpy they are sitting in the carriage, except for eating and drinking, Yu Nianniang is basically in the carriage, so several people have been following closely behind the marching army.

Along the way, the walk was quite peaceful, and after two months, I finally arrived at Yumen Pass.

Yu Nianniang has never been to Yumen Pass in her two lives.

There is a tall wall as far as the eye can see. The empty gates were wide open, and the bluestone roads were paved along. I don't know how many years have passed in this border city, and there are many traces of war left on the city walls. It looks quaint and majestic!

Two rows of well-armed defenders stood like javelins in front of the city gates, falcon-like eyes watching those entering the city. Everyone who enters the city has to have the relevant paperwork and has to be cross-examined.

Because the Turks are attacking, for the defense of the interior. When traitors entered the city, the interrogation of those who entered the city became stricter.

Everyone lined up in order to enter the customs in turn, and after the city gate guard checked the luggage and confirmed that the paperwork was correct, they could enter, and the team moved forward slowly and orderly.

Yumen Pass is not only an important checkpoint at the TC border, but also a place to stop, and people from all kinds of trade and business have to enter the customs from here, and there is an endless stream of merchants from all walks of life. They are planted with a car full of splendid silk, or exquisite porcelain, or rare antiques, and the whole Yumen Pass is bustling and lively!

It's just that since the Turkic invasion, there have been a lot fewer people entering the pass, and most of the people in the city are fleeing at this time.

Yu Nianniang and the three of them didn't stay long at Yumen Pass, and then they started to hurry again. Uncle Wang sent the three of them into Suzhou City, and after Linglong gave him the deed and carriage fee of Yizhou, he drove the carriage back to Yizhou quickly.

Although Yumen Pass is heavily guarded, it gives people a depressed and dull sense of panic. Most of the people lived in Suzhou City.

Yu Nianniang also took Linglong and Mother Sun to find a cheap inn to live in, and the three of them asked for a room. At this time, there were many people fleeing, and there were many guest houses, but the guy didn't say much, but the attitude of service was a little perfunctory.

"What a shop, girl, we should change the inn!" Looking at Xiao Er, who hastily brought a pot of water and disappeared, Linglong said dissatisfiedly.

The room is not big, there is only one bed, how can three people sleep? I didn't even get an extra quilt, but fortunately, they had their own quilts. The service is poor, the conditions are also poor, and even half of their small courtyard in Illinois can't catch up.

Mother Sun glanced at the polished table, looked at the side of the table, the stool with a gray face, and a finger lightly scratched on it, and the dust in one hand. At a glance, I knew that business was not good on weekdays, and I didn't even clean it carefully, and I only did superficial work.

What a sin and a waste of money!

"Girl, why don't we continue on our way, it's not cost-effective to live in this inn." Mother Sun said.

Yu Nianniang had already sat down on the edge of the bed, and Linglong hurriedly squatted down to take off her shoes for her. Helping Yu Nianniang to lie flat on the bed, Yu Nianniang stretched comfortably.

I've been sleeping in the carriage for two months, and anyone who is bumpy and lame has already fallen apart!

Mother Sun lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know how long this quilt has not been washed, the girl still covers her own quilt at night, and the one in the inn is for me and Linglong." "After revealing the topic just now, I won't mention it again.

"Hmm." Yu Nianniang replied and closed her eyes gently.

Mother Sun and Linglong saw that Yu Nianniang looked tired, so they didn't bother anymore, the two discussed in a whisper, and decided to sleep together at night, take the quilt of the inn to the bottom, and use the quilt of the two of them to cover it.

When Yu Nianniang woke up again, the room was already lit with a dim oil lamp.

She propped herself up and looked out sleepily.

Mother Sun had already walked over, helped her up, and said, "The girl is not sleeping?" ”

"Hmm." Maybe she just woke up, Yu Nianniang's voice was a little hoarse and a little lazy.

Mother Sun helped her put on her clothes, and when she saw that there was no Linglong in the house, she looked at her and asked.

Mother Sun smiled and said, "Linglong go and see what there is to eat." ”

There is food in the inn, which is generally more expensive than outside, and if there is something cheap and delicious outside, you can go out to eat. This also saves money. And Yu Nianniang doesn't pick her mouth, when she is in Yizhou, Linglong will occasionally come back with a little food outside for her.

Yu Nianniang smiled slightly.

It's a deserved one.

As long as Yu Nianniang is happy, Mother Sun will naturally be in a good mood. She helped Yu Nianniang get dressed and shoeed, helped Yu Nianniang sit down at the table, and poured another cup of tea, but before the tea was finished, Linglong came back.

"Girl, this Suzhou is really much more lively than our Yizhou City. Let's go to the street to eat, the slave and maid see that there are many delicious foods, and they are cheaper than the things in the inn......" As soon as Linglong entered the house, she excitedly told Yu Nianniang what she had just seen: "...... There are more people in the stalls than we usually leave Yizhou City...... Not to mention the shopping, there are crowds, and the whole street is noisy, like the Lantern Festival, but it is lively...... What wontons, dough, dumplings, mixed noodles ......"

Saying that, she was about to drool, and Mother Sun hurriedly interrupted her: "Eh, okay, don't say it, wipe your own saliva!" Since it's so delicious, let's take the girl with you, she must be hungry. ”

Linglong pursed her lips and laughed embarrassedly, and responded crisply, "Okay!" Hands and feet quickly poured water to serve Yu Nianniang to clean her face, and then, Yu Nianniang changed her clothes again, and the three of them went out of the guest room.

When I left Illino, it was just autumn, and it was already late autumn.

Yu Nianniang wore a blue satin armor, only a carved wooden hairpin was inserted on her head, and the white curtain fence completely covered her face, she was slender, walking gracefully, dignified lady, like a small jasper.

The first floor, which was empty before I came, was already full of tables and chairs, and it was full of diners.

"Yikes! How did it turn into a restaurant in the blink of an eye? Mother Sun said in surprise.

Linglong approached Yu Nianniang and whispered: "When we first came in, the shopkeeper asked people to start setting up tables and chairs, saying that there were too many people fleeing, and the large and small restaurants and inns in Suzhou City are now full." Therefore, the first floor of the inn was temporarily converted into a restaurant.

This shopkeeper's brain is also bright!
