Chapter 9, Qingfu Town (II)

Qingfu Town is not close to Sangyu Village, a total of fifteen or sixteen miles away, Xiao Nan got up early and set off after breakfast, before going out was stopped by Lin, Lin handed her a piece of silver and dozens of copper coins, which means that she was afraid that she would go to the town to see something to buy but had no money, and at the same time loaded the pheasant that she didn't eat last night, which was for her to bring to her grandfather's house, and the pheasant Xiao Nan brought it, but she didn't ask for the money, she still carried the ten silver from the Lin family and the more than 100 copper coins she left behind, so she naturally wouldn't ask for Lin's money.

Although Xiao Nan has an incomplete memory, she can't figure out where the specific location of her grandfather's house is for the time being, it doesn't matter, with her skills, she won't be able to find out where Lin Xiucai's home is, farewell to Lin's mother and son, Xiao Nan headed towards Qingfu Town, there was a special ox cart in the village, but Xiao Nan was not used to the bumps of the ox cart, plus the passenger ox cart kept getting on and off passengers all the way, in terms of speed, it was not necessarily her legs fast, so she chose to walk.

She went out of the house, out of the village, just walked out of about two miles of road, was stopped by an ox cart that came up, Xiao Nan looked up, and found that it was Li Qinghe, the third son of the Li Zheng family, who stopped her, Xiao Nan called him the third uncle, Li Qinghe's eyes fell on Xiao Nan, and said with a smile: "Auntie, is this going to Qingfu Town?" Come up and I'll give you a ride. ”

Although Xiao Nan is not used to taking advantage of others, she can't brush off Li Qinghe's kindness, she responded crisply, walked to the ox cart, held the handle with one hand, jumped on the wheel very neatly, and sat on the wheel with his back against the carriage.

"It's rare for my aunt to be so neat at such a young age." Li Qinghe also often goes into the mountains to hunt, Xiao Nan has handed over much more prey to him in recent days than most adult hunters in the village, plus the ease and neatness with which she jumped on the wheel just now, Li Qinghe was praised more than once.

"The third uncle has won the award, I have been naughty since I was a child, unlike girls like boys, I like to dig birds and climb trees all day long, my father can't see it, so he simply raised me as a boy, and after a while, the skin is more real than ordinary people." Xiao Nan pursed his lips and smiled, and said quite humbly.

"The children of our Zhuang family don't need to talk about those useless rules, and besides, you are not only extraordinary at a young age, but also literate and hyphenated, knowledgeable, and write well, my father often sighs, saying that if you are not a girl, you will only be much better than your father in the future." Li Qinghe shook his head, not quite agreeing with Xiao Nan's words, Old Man Li praised Xiao Dalang quite a lot, and the two children who looked at Xiao Dalang were also very pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Nan is not good to continue this topic, she pursed her lips and smiled and quietly diverted the conversation, the two of them had a match along the way, talking and laughing, about half an hour later, the gatehouse with a few big characters in Qingfu Town was far away, after seeing the gatehouse of Qingfu Town, Li Qinghe reached out and pulled the cow rope, so that the speed of the car slowed down, and when the car arrived at the entrance of the town gate, it just stopped, and when the ox cart stopped, Li Qinghe turned his eyes to Xiao Nan and said: "What is the aunt going to do?" How long will it take to get back? I'll return around mid-the-clock, and if the time is right, I'll take you back. ”

"No need for the third uncle, I'll come to the town to buy some small things, and I also have to go to my grandfather's house, so I don't have to go back today." Xiao Nan hurriedly smiled and refused.

"Well, since you are going to your grandfather's house, I won't wait for you, but Auntie, you have to pay attention to it on the street alone, although you have the ability, but you are younger, although the security of Qingfu Town is not bad, but there are often outsiders passing by here, and occasionally there will be children who are abducted, in the face of those strangers you don't know, try not to talk to them." Li Qinghe heard that Xiao Nan wanted his grandfather's house, so he didn't say anything, and when he left, he said a few more words, and then drove the carriage in another direction.

Qingfu Town has a main street about five miles long, in addition, there are several side streets, Xiao Nan's maternal ancestor is on the No. 7 Hulu Street in the east of the town, and Li Qinghe's place to do things is on West Street, the two are going to part ways here, Xiao Nan looked at the shadow of the ox cart gradually moving away, and a faint touch of emotion surfaced in his heart, these neighbors who obviously have nothing to do with their own family really care about themselves, and the ancestor who has a blood relationship with his body, Uncle and step-grandmother are eager to peel off their family, I have to say, this is really ironic.

Fortunately, Xiao Nan is not the deity of this body, and she has no emotion for Xiao Changhe's family at all, this emotion only flashed from her heart, and she was quickly thrown aside, and began to enjoy the unique scenery of the ancient town in front of her, as a well-known professor of a senior archaeology department, her understanding and research of history and culture are far from comparable to ordinary people.

The Northern Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan's painting of the Qingming Riverside is the only one in the history of China's feudal dynasty, which integrates the living conditions of people from all walks of life, which vividly records the urban appearance of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty and the living conditions of people from all walks of life at that time, and is a witness to the prosperity of Bianjing in those years, and is also a portrayal of the economic situation of the city in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although this map was only a few years after the map, the Northern Song Dynasty fell into the war, and finally Song Huizong was captured by the Jin people, and the shame of Jingkang, which was famous in the history of the Song Dynasty, but all this can not erase the prosperity and prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty in the fields of culture and economy far better than other dynasties before this.

What's more, it is not the Northern Song Dynasty that has gradually entered the period of decline, but the period of the most stable economy and culture in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This kind of prosperity, even in front of this town with a population of only tens of thousands, has been able to reflect one or two, Xiao Nan's location is the main street of Qingfu Town, where it is eye-catching, but see all kinds of shops, teahouses, taverns, cloth shops, rice shops, rouge gouache, ink, paper inkstone, etc., there are countless hawkers on the street at each intersection, waiting for the bustling flow of people, there are horseback riders, there are also sedan chairs on the car, all kinds of shouting and shouting are here and there, and the end is a prosperity.

"Although there have long been relevant archaeological data to prove that the Song people were rich, now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I have found that the reality is more surprising than the data corroborate." Xiao Nan stood beside the street, looking at the ancient street knowledge full of people in front of him, and whispered in his mouth, such a bustling and lively scene, even if it is a modern ordinary township, it is rare.
