Chapter 127: Why is the world so expensive?
In the story told by Snow Dance, more than half of the day passed quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe carriage finally arrived at Changling, where the mausoleum of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was located.
Changling, located in the southern part of Xianyang Plain, is condescending. The south is the endless Weishui, the north is the majestic Jiuzhi Mountain, and the old road of Qinchuan passes through the plain.
Gaozu was the first founder of the world to have a three-foot sword in cloth, although he was always criticized by later generations as a scoundrel. But it is undeniable that it was he who defeated the invincible Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu and built the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.
Gaozu began to build the Changling Mausoleum in the second year of the emperor, and the cemetery was built in imitation of Chang'an. During his lifetime, Gaozu migrated to the family of the big family and the noble relatives in the mausoleum, and let him serve the cemetery, and the mausoleum had more than 50,000 household registrations. He also followed Liu Bang's heroes and relatives in the southern and northern wars, and was buried in Changling after his death. In addition, it is guarded by elite soldiers and exempted from paying taxes.
Therefore, the Changling Cemetery is heavily guarded, but a few miles away from the Changling Tomb is a prosperous scene of vermilion eaves and colorful buildings, chariots, horses and people.
It was getting dark, and Zhu Ge asked Gillian to find an inn to live in.
The prosperity of Changling is naturally not comparable to the depression of Lishan. Zhu Ge asked one by one, and it was easy to find an inn with one room left, so he had to stay.
The proprietress was very kind, asked the guy to lead the horse to the backyard, and repeatedly said to find a small couch to hold a bedding, don't worry. Hearing that they were returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, he smiled and said: "The business is so good now, and it is also because of the time of this year, where the ancestors are worshipped." ā
The big surnames and noble relatives who migrated here, their children gave birth to grandchildren, and their grandchildren gave birth to children. Each house has its own branches, and it is scattered, and there are many people who have lived since they went there. In addition, after the heroes who buried their bones here, when they arrived at the end of the year, they came to worship their ancestors one after another, making the already prosperous Changling crowd rolling.
Gillian only nodded slightly to listen to her, and when she arrived at the guest room, it was quite tidy and paid for the room. After a while, the proprietress asked someone to remove the table and put a couch.
After a short rest, the three of them went downstairs to prepare supper. But the kitchen of the small inn was short of manpower, and Gillian saw that there were quite a few guests waiting in the hall, so she proposed to go out and find a restaurant for dinner.
What did she say, the bamboo song and the snow dance are naturally not half a word.
Out of the inn, it was dusk. The cold wind swept by, and the chill was everywhere. But the lights have been lit, and the hope makes people feel a little warm.
A few people walked around, and although Gillian entered the people after leaving the palace, she lived a closed farm life.
Therefore, the people of the Han Dynasty did not have a deep understanding of it, and they walked around quite curiously. When I found a restaurant in this leisurely stroll, the orange sunset had already sunk away, and the distant mountains were like daisies, and thousands of shadows were waving.
The shopkeeper was at the door to greet the send-off, and when he saw that Gillian was about to enter the store, he stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Madam, please inside, please inside." ā
Gillian nodded and was about to go in. But suddenly a white-robed man flashed out from the side, looking like he was at most a weak crown year, and he was very weak. He blocked Gillian's way and said inscrutablely: "This lady, Yintang is black, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of blood." ā
"Poof", Gillian listened to this line of how to listen to and how to tease, and she couldn't help laughing, and said in a manly voice: "What about Mr. Yi's high opinion?" ā
The white-robed man didn't care when he heard Gillian's ridicule, and he really counted it like that. The shopkeeper became impatient, and stepped forward to push him: "Go, go, you will come here if you have a guest." Let's go, let's go. ā
Gillian couldn't help laughing, and asked Zhu Ge to take half a penny to thank him for his face. But he frowned, and said that it was impossible, and turned a blind eye to the money handed over.
The shopkeeper said, "Leave him alone, this is an idiot." A few guest officers should go inside, it's cold outside. led Gillian and her party in and told them to sit by the window.
Thinking that it was the first month, the bamboo song and the snow dance were hard and tight all the way. Gillian asked for white-cut chicken and steamed fish, and ordered three bowls of white fungus soup.
Xiao Er went to the kitchen for a while, and took a tray to bring the hot soup. Gillian looked up and saw that the white-robed man had found a branch and was writing on the snow at the door as if he had been enchanted, so he asked the shopkeeper: "Who is that white-robed man at the door?" ā
In the Han Dynasty, it was not the poor who could eat meat, and Gillian and her party were not much different from the noble relatives with the surnames they had ever seen. Although it was a fresh face, the shopkeeper had a good attitude, and he was not impatient at all, and replied with a smile: "This is called Zhang Shouping, the word Boda, and he is a well-known idle character in this neighborhood." ā
The name has always been the expectation of the parents and elders, Shouping, Boda? It seems that there is a lot of hope.
It's just that......
Gillian looked at the white-robed man who looked crazy at the door and sighed. Even Gillian could guess his tricks, the people who went in and out of Changling were either rich or noble, and his party was all women, but he just said amazing words.
After the shopkeeper said it, seeing that Gillian was no longer interested, he went to the door to greet customers again.
The winter dusk is beautiful, but it is extremely short. Unconsciously, the sunset was everywhere to a hazy place, and the cold wind howling in the sky blew on the window lattice. Although I didn't feel it personally, the biting coldness was as if it was rolling up on my body.
The cold winter inevitably makes people feel a kind of "desert winter, nowhere to return", and I thought of going here to see Yu'er. Gillian felt a layer of sadness in her heart, saying that this was the first time she had seen Yu'er, and she didn't know if he had already been reincarnated.
Thinking of the dream when I passed the Baling during the day, my heart was even more gloomy.
The golden house is just a dream.
Empress Chen, a well-deserved lady of the sky. If he didn't marry Liu Che, Guan Tao carefully chose a good person among the princes and princes, and he would not be affectionate and raise his eyebrows.
All she asks for is to be willing to be a single-minded person, and her head will not be separated.
But this is undoubtedly wishful thinking for the emperor's family.
With the weight of Empress Lu and the virtuous lady of the thin queen, he still does not dare to ask for exclusive favors.
After Chen, all she was destined to get was blood and tears.
But she is so affectionate and sexual, she can't see through it and can't get out. The oath of the golden house has been trapped for a lifetime, and even with her arrogance she is willing to recognize someone else.
But it didn't work out after all, did it?
So she left with a grudge, and before she died, she hated and said that she was willing to be buried in Baling, and she would never meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Gillian thought of this, and the smile that Empress Chen looked at herself when she vomited blood and fell jade in Changmen unconsciously appeared in front of her, full of sad goodbye smiles.
She sighed faintly, and wondered where she was going from here. was out of her mind for a while, and after running to the hall to serve the food, Gillian woke up in the fragrance.
Han Dynasty cooking was the most popular, so Gillian ordered white-cut chicken and steamed fish. These two dishes do not need to look at the craftsmanship, the procedure is so simple, one is boiled in water, the other is steamed in a steamer on it, and it is just out of the pot together.
Although it is simple, it is often impossible to eat white-cut chicken with smooth skin and smooth meat in future generations. There is no other reason, there are no good ingredients.
But in the Han Dynasty, there was no need to worry about this, it was definitely a fine-boned farmhouse chicken that grew up in the mountains and forests, full of flavor and fragrance.
Although the iron pot has not been popularized in the palace, stir-frying is unheard of by many dignitaries. Not to mention folk cooking, it is natural for Gillian to have a lot less fun in eating.
But fortunately, it was replenished with ingredients.
When you're sad, a delicious meal always heals the soul quickly.
With this thought, Gillian's appetite increased greatly. Tongzhu Ge and Xue Wu ate a whole chicken and a fish cleanly, used a bowl of hot soup, sat down for a while, and paid the money before leaving the store.
It was already dark, but it was brightly lit and lively. The white-robed man at the door didn't know when he had left, and Gillian didn't care.
Tomorrow at most at noon, you will be able to reach Maoling, and Changling will be prosperous and lively. Gillian was not in a hurry to go back for a while, and looked around with Zhuge and Xuewu.
In the Han Dynasty, the handicraft industry was developed, and the handicrafts displayed on the street stalls were exquisite and elegant, which made people love it. Gillian couldn't hold back, so she bought some in the end.
The group turned back from the original road, and when they arrived at the previous restaurant, they saw the man in white robe again. He was holding a roll of bamboo slips and couldn't understand it, swaying left and right and not knowing what to say.
Xue Wu smiled: "It turns out that I went back to get the book, what a nerd." ā
Gillian smiled slightly and did not comment. I am a little curious in my heart, in feudal society for more than 2,000 years, poetry and books have always been the exclusive property of the upper class. Since Zhang Shouping can afford to read, he must have a solid family, how could he be reduced to this?
Curiosity is curiosity, but Gillian has no mind to investigate. She was about to turn the corner when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
The white-robed man ran to Gillian and blocked his way as before. However, this time he was firm-eyebrowed, very sure but very puzzled: "Why is the world so expensive?" ā
This sentence smashed into Gillian's heart like thunder on the ground, and Zhu Ge reacted the fastest, and immediately chuckled and stepped forward to take a handful of money to the white-robed man. She smiled charmingly, but the disdain between her smiles was undisguised. "This is our lady's reward."
The man in the white robe still didn't take the money, he looked at Gillian fixedly, and asked again, "Why?" ā
His eyes were aggressive, and he asked again and again.
Xue Wu was angry, stepped forward and twisted his wrist, and shouted softly: "Our young lady told you to get out." "The man in the white robe is emaciated, who is the opponent of the martial arts man Xue Wu? told her to twist and scream in pain, but still refused to let go.
Gillian was stunned by his words for a while, and thought over and over again that she would never see this white-robed man. It shouldn't be recognized, so it's calculated?
Thinking of the calculation of the white-robed man just now, Gillian couldn't help but be funny, which was even more impossible. She has never believed in these, although there are many gods in history, and the rich and noble can be national teachers, but how many of them really have some ability?
She stepped forward, and the look of disdain in the peach blossom eyes suddenly appeared. "If the gentleman impresses me with this remark, then he underestimates me."
Gillian bent her eyebrows and said disappreciably: "Rich and rich, are you really happy when you get it?" "The moon is full of flowers, and her eyes are sparkling and shining." Who knows that outside the princes and princes, there will be no happy people? ā
Her words were so clear that the white-robed man was silent for a while, just looking for the deep meaning of her words. Gillian stepped forward with a smile, took the silver money from the bamboo singer, put it in his hand, and advised: "Mr. next time, you should also find someone who looks like you yearn for glory and wealth, so that you can use earth-shattering words." ā
After speaking, the white-robed man who didn't look stunned left with Zhu Ge and Xue Wuying.
The night was as cold as water, Zhang Shouping stood in place for a long time and looked at the shadow that had disappeared, and he was still chewing on who knew that there would be no happy people besides the princes and princes.
Xue Wu and Zhu Ge have traveled south and north, and they have also seen people who are tricky, so just say a few words to him at the moment. And although Gillian has been in the deep palace for a long time and is simple-minded, she is not stupid. When I returned to the inn, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this before I went to bed: I wanted her to learn from the Queen Mother.
Wang Huan was also a famous family, so her mother Zang'er never forgot to restore the glory of the old days. But in the middle of the family, in addition to accepting fate or resigning fate, Zang Er finally married Wang Zhong, a commoner in Huaili, and gave birth to a son named Wang Xin, and two daughters, the eldest queen and the second queen. Later, Wang Zhong died, and Zang Er remarried to the Changling Tian clan and gave birth to two sons, Tian Wei and Tian Sheng.
Zang'er's obsession is very deep, but she is gradually indifferent, and she is ready to live her life here. But she didn't expect to meet a fortune teller and swear that her two daughters were unspeakably expensive.
So, Zang Er sent Wang Huan, who had already married and had a daughter, to the crown prince Liu Qi ascended the throne, and Zang Er sent Wang Huan's sister Wang Haojiao into the palace.
As for the fact that the results clearly proved the wisdom of the fortune-tellers, I heard that this alchemist was later rewarded with a thousand taels of gold from the Queen Mother.
In one sentence, you can get a thousand taels of gold.
This is gold, and it is more valuable than silver.
Thinking of the TV series of later generations, the hero always threw out a silver ingot when he went to the tavern, shouting for a few catties of beef and two catties of wine. Gillian wanted to laugh, not to mention the loophole that the feudal dynasty had strictly forbidden to slaughter ploughing cattle for generations, how could silver be so cheap?
What's more, tens of thousands of snowflakes and silver are not in their eyes.
In ancient times, there were very few silver mines, and the value of silver was very high. Gillian, who had lived in the Han Dynasty for a few months, was deeply touched by this, and the common people needed more than one or two pieces of silver for a year.
If any family can have a hundred taels of silver and can buy more than a dozen acres of fertile land, they can become a rich gentry.
Therefore, a thousand taels of gold is enough for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
What needs to be paid is just such a light and irresponsible sentence. It's no wonder that this Li Shouping made such amazing words, but he looked good at Gillian and seemed to be the daughter of a rich family.
If you are moved by his words, you have a high chance of being favored with your qualifications. At that time, it is inevitable that he will not be able to repay him.
Gillian sneered, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while with the gentle breathing of Zhu Ge and Xue Wu.
In the cold night, the cold moon floated among a few loose frozen clouds, and a few sparse stars hid far away in the sky. Snowflakes fall leisurely from the night sky, and in a dilapidated house far from the hustle and bustle, the silence of winter nights and the light scent of bamboo envelop this small space.
Zhang Shouping, who was regarded by Gillian as nothing more than a fame, was kneeling indoors at the moment. He kept calculating something with his hands on the ground, and kept muttering, "No, it's impossible." ā
Scattered bamboo slips filled the room, and one of the scrolls revealed exactly one word: B.
Li Shouping immersed himself in his own world, and he closed his eyes for a while as if he was trying to recall something, and then he re-staged something on the ground.
Gillian doesn't know that because of her, this Li Shouping will draw a strong stroke in the history of the Han Dynasty that should not have been. (To be continued.) )
