Chapter 180: The Elegance of the Chu State

Time waits for no one, seeing that today's day is going to be wasted here, Bai Rui is a little anxious, he wants to return to Sikong Hou Mansion as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although it is very embarrassing to say this, he is a little marquis of the Sikong Hou Mansion who has been dead for many years, and suddenly reappeared after a lapse of three years.

It takes courage to show up, and it really takes a lot of courage.

Barry feared that he would gradually give up showing up for some reason, and if time passed, he would retreat.

Looking at the early sky, Bai Rui stubbornly led his horse who would rather eat grass than walk.

"Come with me, when you get to the Hou Mansion, there will be forage for you to eat!" Bai Rui tried several times but couldn't lead the horse, and in desperation, he had to step forward and talk with the horse.

Staring at his big eyes, the horse looked at Bai Rui for a long time, and under Bai Rui's kind words, he stepped away from his noble horse legs and followed Bai Rui.

After coaxing his horse, Bai Rui stepped forward again and said to the officials who were checking the identity documents at the city gate, "Can you deal with my documents now?" ”

The officials standing at the gate of the city exchanged a look with each other, and one of the officials flipped through the identity document that Bai Rui had left behind, and looked at Bai Rui while looking at the handwriting written on the identity document in his hand.

After looking at the time of a pillar of incense, the official holding the identity document said, "Your name is Bai Rui?" ”

"Yes."

"Oh...... Where are the people? ”

"Big ...... A native of Chu. ”

"You are really bold, you dare to come and deceive your official, your identity document is clearly written as a Dawan person!"

"This is an identity document reissued in Dawan, and my previous identity document was accidentally lost. Then, I found an errand in Dawan, and for convenience, the boss gave me a Dawan identity document. ”

"Hmm......" The official continued to look at the identity document in his hand, as if he wanted to see a flower from it, and when he looked at the identity document in his hand, he was still looking at Bai Rui's body from time to time.

After coming down a few times, Bai Rui suddenly realized what it was like to finally know what it was. Hurriedly took off the jade pendant he hung on his waist and handed it to the official holding the identity document: "It's a small meaning, it's not a respect." ”

"This is also polite, our brothers are also thinking about the safety of the people in the city." The officer and soldier holding the identity document said, handing the identity document to Bai Rui with one hand, and taking Bai Rui's jade pendant with the other.

Didn't let go.

He didn't let go.

Bai Rui stretched out his hand to draw his identity document, but he couldn't move. The officers and men took the identity documents and did not let go.

"Recently, the brothers are also very tired, there are so many people coming and going, everyone can't let go easily, we have to think about the people in the city." The official holding the identity document continued to speak.

"It is the blessing of our people that these officials can do their duties like this in the Chu State." Bai Rui said, stretched out his hand and took out three pearls the size of pigeon eggs, and handed them to the official holding the identity document, "It's really hard work." ”

The five officers and soldiers present secretly exchanged glances. The official holding the identity document let go, handed the identity document to Bai Rui, and took the pearl in Bai Rui's hand.

Finally, Bai Rui led his horse and walked into the capital of Chu.

Before entering the city gate, Bai Rui looked up at the sky and watched.

The sunset hung on the horizon, a wisp of straight green smoke rose to the sky, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sunset was like a dream.

Bai Rui is eighteen years old, almost nineteen years old.

When the color of the sky has not had time to close, the air has become slightly cold, waiting for the last ray of light to be swallowed by the horizon, the night of Chu State has really come, and Chu State has also begun to become cold.

Bai Rui stood at the gate of the city, watching the last rays of the sunset slowly fall, he smiled softly, wrapped his clothes tightly, led the horses, and turned around and walked into the capital of Chu.

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he turned to the five officers and soldiers standing at the gate of the city and said, "The jade pendant is the price of a pearl and a half, and if it is broken, it is worthless; A pearl is one or two gold, preferably several, and the price will increase several times. After speaking, before the officers and soldiers could react, they hurriedly led the horses into the city.

Before the officers and soldiers standing in the city gate tower could react, Bai Rui's figure had already disappeared into the city gate. Waiting for them to react, they looked at the few jade pendants and pearls in their hands, they looked at each other, and then looked at each other.

Swallowing spit, they looked at each other and smiled. Then, smiling meaninglessly, he looked at the jade pendant and the pearl......

Walking in the Chu Kingdom at night, a very strange feeling surged into Bai Rui's heart, as if this was half of Bai Rui's hometown.

The night market in Chu has also begun to be lively, I remember that in the past, because of the temperature of Chu State, generally at night, the people would go to bed very early.

And now, although the market is not as good as Dayan, it is also magnificent enough, and the singing and dancing are level.

Perhaps, it was influenced by Dayan, or rather, merchants from Dayan came to Chu to open shops.

Moreover, it may also be influenced by Dayan, and in the Chu Kingdom, the story of Binu is also being told.

Bai Rui didn't sit down to listen, but when he passed by the storyteller, he heard one or two sentences, and put one or two sentences in his ears.

Leading the horses, Bai Rui walked around the corner of the street and walked in the direction of Sikong Hou's Mansion.

Walking all the way, Bai Rui saw a shop on the side of the road, hanging a string of lanterns. Because of the weather, the houses of Chu have thick walls and narrow and small windows, which is the most suitable for the hot Gobi weather of Chu State.

There was a strong aroma of wine wafting through the air. It's summer, the season of grape harvest, and the season of wine vinification.

Holding the wine-scented belt, Bai Rui walked to the Sikong Hou Mansion.

Like Bai Rui every time he went home before, there was no change in Sikong Hou Mansion, except that Sikong Hou Mansion looked. It's deeper than ever.

Standing in front of the Sikong Hou Mansion, Bai Rui looked at the gate, stepped forward, led the horse, and knocked on the door: "Knock knock knock ......" The Sikong Hou Mansion was knocked again.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Squeak...... The door of the Houmen was opened by a thin slit, and a person stretched out half of his head, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, holding a horse in his hand.

"Who, you?" The person who opened the door didn't recognize Bai Rui yet, his face was tired, he looked Bai Rui up and down a few times, and he suddenly shouted: "It's the little marquis, the little marquis is back!! ”

He immediately opened the door and let Bai Rui in, and then ran into the Hou Mansion and went out to inform all the people in the Hou Mansion.

Perhaps too excited, when he left, he casually closed the door, and Barry and his horses were shut out again. (To be continued.) )
