Chapter 62: The First Wave of Guests
The dispute over the horseshoe finally ended in the court of the noisy vegetable market.
Due to the excellent preparation of the impeachment officer, the horseshoe and stirrup are clearly drawn. The adults who can stand on the top are all the top of the top students, and this kind of thing with no technical content can be understood at a glance.
For the average person, a family car/horse is still a luxury. But those who can understand the magic represented by the two characters Ruan Bai are a handful of people at the top of the pyramid of Da Zhou. Even if these people are not from famous families, they are also upstarts with permanent property. For them, luxury cars/good horses are a must-have, and there are also some classic cars/old horses, or baby carriages/foals.
It is really not a burden to find one or two horses that are not distressed even if they are lost, and to do it.
Although the emperor's little old man said that this matter must be handed over to the royal family, as intimate courtiers, there are still a large number of people who "share worries with the king". And so the results came out quickly.
In particular, the generals felt it most profoundly. After trying it out, they very carefully discovered the role of stirrups. The appearance of such equipment will play a huge role on the battlefield.
And the civil servants who regard riding as a compulsory course for gentlemen feel even more obvious. With stirrups, it is easier to get on and off the horse, and the control of the horse is more flexible, and it can also make the body fit better with the horse's body, so that you will not be thrown off lightly when the horse is running at high speed. With a horseshoe, horses can run more easily and steadily.
Wen Chen rolled up his sleeves: I have always been looked down upon by a group of reckless men, what an elegant sport to let you build and ride a horse!
At tea time, the ministers were all picked off the horse by the generals, and the other generals didn't even catch the hair.
The development of the real yàn to the stage of "actual combat drills", the phased real yàn can also come to an end. It turned out to be a detailed one. Coat color of breeds of different ages and genders...... Well, it doesn't have much to do with the color of the coat, but the actual result that is guaranteed to be put on the imperial case is the most complete version that can be obtained in the short term at this stage.
However, due to the long-term effect, especially the horseshoe. Unlike stirrups with immediate results, they always felt that what would happen to the horseshoe would have to be tested over a longer period of time. Therefore, after research, it was decided to make a pilot first, and the pilot scope was selected Shunyang Station, and part of the war horses in Shunyang Pass.
Of course, along with this order, there were also a large number of bounties and six horses, the kind with the horseshoe nailed and the stirrup.
At this time, Shunyangyi has entered early summer. Shunyang Station also ushered in the first wave of official guests.
Ruan Bai played the role of the innkeeper for the first time, from hardware to software are in place, if you remove the lazy "male lion" who lies at the door and scares the guests, and then put aside the two "semi-adult lions" who can stand up and hug their waists.
The guest is not Tian Kaifu, this person was finally asked to leave by the household department, and now he is no longer a speech official, and he can't run around in a short time.
However, among the guests was an old acquaintance of Ruan Bai, Xiao Xizi.
But I haven't seen him for half a year, and Xiao Xizi, who still hasn't lost her childlike appearance before, is now completely a teenager.
Seeing him dismount, the third child stood up and walked over to him, and the attendants who followed Xiao Xizi nervously pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords, while the Beijing officials were all stunned.
Kiko stopped them: "Don't move! He turned back to the third child and said, "Is this the third or the fourth?" Remember if I don't? ”
Ruan Bai stood on the side of the third child: "This is the third child." Have you come all the way and let us take your luggage and horses with us? Meals have already been arranged in the station, so please come in and enjoy them. ”
The third child's nose twitched, probably recognizing the taste of Xiao Xizi, and turned to take the reins of the horse. He led the donkey and drove the sheep.
Xiao Xizi watched the horse she rode over and led it away by the dog, but the horse didn't resist at all......
The fourth child was still lying lazily on the ground. The early summer in the northwest is far from hot, and the warm wind blows a little sleepy. It yawned with its mouth open, and its long, sharp teeth like small daggers made the legs of the uninformed city people tremble.
The big fat and the little chubby opened their mouths slightly, looking at the other horses, and the "dog" stared. Unlike the childhood of silly play, the little ones who are now half a year old are just the time to watch and learn. Seeing the dog's father leading the horse, of course, he also has to make a haircut.
The horse was led away by a dog.
The uninformed city people were led into the house by the countryman Ruan Bai, except for Xiao Xizi, all of them were still messy and did not ease up.
They were exhausted from the journey. The four innkeepers who were originally following Ruan Bai took them back to their respective rooms to wash, and then quickly led them to the dining room to eat. The dish is very simple, small rice stir-fried vegetables and broth.
Surprisingly, it tasted very good. The rice is hot and soft; A kind of mushroom is fried in the vegetable, which is fragrant and delicious; The broth is even more hot, and it also has tofu and vegetables in it, and it looks like it is very rich.
A few Beijing officials who left Beijing for the first time and came all the way to "go through hardships" originally planned to find fault after seeing Ruan Bai, but they were first frightened by the third family at the door, and now they are ......
"Anything else?"
The postmen took the rice bowl very knowingly: "Also, the villain will go to add food to the adults." ”
"Is there still any food?"
"There's a dish, there's a soup."
By the time the old men in the capital remembered that they were going to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, they were already lying flat with a round stomach. It's strange, how can the food in a poor and remote place be better than the restaurants in the capital? They must be hungry. That's right, anything you eat when you're hungry is delicious.
Ruan Bai could actually see at a glance the ill intentions of those people, and these people were obviously not quite on the right path with Xiao Xizi...... I hope they will go back soon, the inn has just been built, and he still has a lot of things to do.
After the reception, Xiao Xizi announced the appointment, and after a large number of gorgeous and rhyming words, Ruan Bai understood that he was promoted. The reason is because of stirrups and horseshoes. The six horses that came together also belonged to this Shunyang Station, and then the Shunyang Station was upgraded to a fifth-class station, and then shamefully only added a Ding Ding salary.
In addition, Ruan Bai saw silver for the first time. No, it was after coming to Da Zhou that he saw the silver of Baihuahua for the first time! Rewarding twenty taels of silver, after calculating the purchasing power, Ruan Bai no longer slandered the court for being stingy, but lamented that he was born in a country where the whole was poor and sour. With such a level of productivity, what can you do if you have money? Is it possible to buy a rice cooker, or can you buy a computer?
Ruan Bai, a calm countryman, once again disappointed the people in the city. They originally thought that so much money could make Ruan Bai so excited that he couldn't even say anything.
But Xiao Xizi didn't care about the others. This time they came here, and what they gave Ruan Baifa could only be regarded as a small gift package by the way, and the real gift package was Master Cao's. It's still early, and they can get down to business.
The horses they had ridden had been taken to rest, and now they were riding horses from the Shunyang Station. The meal just now, which was not breakfast, was obviously not dinner, and it was too much to eat, and it was a little difficult to get on the horse at this time. However, the postmen knew the opportunity and helped the adults on the horses one by one, and also paid attention to maintaining the elegant posture of the adults.
Xiao Xizi and his party were finally able to go out with dignity, but they couldn't do it if they wanted to hurry as fast as before. They could only let the horses wander slowly along the official road, between walking and trotting. This speed made them better appreciate this different part of the official road.
I have to say that the white tooth tree is really a tree with tenacious vitality and high value.
When Kiko and her party passed by, it had not been a few months since these saplings were planted, and these bare saplings were now full of green leaves, even if they were not very tall and did not look stout, but the perfect umbrella shape made these saplings look very spiritual. There are also many gorgeous flowers blooming under the shade of the trees.
The official road in a rural place turned out to be as beautiful as a garden--the city people and the Beijing officials took away their disdainful eyes again.
Xiao Xizi saw all the changes in these people. All the way out of the capital, this group of people complained only about complaining. What's not hard to do? There are so many requests one by one, should they all be in their own homes?
He didn't bother to remind these people that if they really underestimated that Lord Ruan, they would definitely suffer the loss. After a while, he had to find a chance to meet Master Ruan alone today. Sheep fat is very easy to use, but it is too ineffective. In addition, the godfather also asked him to make friends with Lord Ruan.
He frowned slightly. With his understanding of his godfather, just sheep fat will not be taken to □□ father at all, and a small Yicheng will not pay attention to □□ father, so what else is there in Lord Ruan that is worthy of being targeted by someone like his godfather? Is this good or bad for Lord Ruan?
The others didn't see Kiko's distraction at all. What is there to care about a little eunuch? And since they stepped into the gate, their eyes have been a little insufficient.
A side fortress that should be incomparably wild and backward in the impression can be so clean and tidy!
Yes, it's clean. The soldiers and auxiliaries who came and went had their hair meticulously combed and their clothes clean, even if there was sweat on their bodies, they did not bring out a black ditch. On the contrary, they have been in the dust along the way, when they were in Shunyangyi, they washed their hands and faces a little, and now they look like the dirtiest.
There are some flowers and plants planted on both sides of the street, and there are people sweeping and sprinkling water in the streets. If you look closely, there are a lot of merchants coming and going. As soon as they had entered through the city gates, two medium-sized caravans and a small caravan had passed by. When you pass by an intersection, you can see the commercial street, which is so short that you can see the head at a glance, and there is no shouting. But all of them seem to be in order......
A Beijing official was still full of emotion, and suddenly his eyes froze: "Huh? "Isn't that the prince of Pingxi?
