195 [Let's watch the emperor go together]
According to the original plan, when they walked to the capital city of Shouzhou, they were going to start taking the land route.
Although, this is called Shouzhou Wharf, but in fact, there is still a half-day drive from Shouzhou City, to be precise, this is a village and town outside Shouzhou City, a village and town with the value of survival by the wharf.
Whether it was the original plan or now, the convoy of the Four Seas Commercial Bank has no intention of entering Shouzhou City for the time being.
The shopkeeper Qin wanted to deal with the unloading and loading of the ship at the wharf, so he asked the manager of the Shouzhou branch of a commercial bank who came to help to take the three little ancestors on the ship to the nearest post station to rest.
Lin Zhiqi's special carriage had been with the boat before, but this time it was unloaded from the boat first, and she also took the carriage to the post station.
Rong Ziqi and Rong Ziyu hired a carriage at the dock, in fact, they wanted to come on horseback, but unfortunately the dock did not rent horses.
Now, six or seven days have passed since the dragon absorbed water. On the way to the post station, you can see ragged people walking towards Shouzhou City one after another.
The steward went to arrange for the check-in to the inn. The three of them got off at the gate of the inn.
Seeing that there were people going to Shouzhou City not far away, although Lin Zhiqi knew, she still asked, "Those are the refugees who were affected by this disaster?" ”
Although she knew that there would be a place that would be seriously affected when she encountered the dragon absorbing water, Lin Zhiqi was still a little surprised that refugees appeared so soon.
In her impression, after the disaster, she was busy rebuilding her home for a short time, and only after a long time did refugees appear. And those who will leave their hometowns will do so if they really can't survive. After all, the ancients were very attached to their homeland.
"Not all of them were affected this time. It could also be because of last year's snowstorm. Rong Ziyu said.
"Snow disaster?" Lin Zhiqi remembered that Su Hua said it when he came to the door, but Xingzhou was not serious. Moreover, there are more or less similar disasters every winter, so she didn't care at the time, "Is it so serious?" Now, it's sowing season, right? ”
On the side, the post man who came to guide the carriage explained: "The snowstorm a year ago was quite noisy, and the people who had survived. Waiting for spring planting as a life-saving straw, alas, it turned out that the dragon was sucking water again. ”
To put it simply. The series of disasters has ruined the newly restored vitality of the people again.
Lin Zhiqi said again: "Didn't the government help to overdo it first?" ”
After all, the dragon's absorption of water is a one-time disaster, and the time is only one day, after that. It's still too late to re-cultivate. The premise is that the people's stomachs can be relieved first, and then it will depend on the government to come forward.
After so many days, no matter how sluggish the government is, it should have reacted.
Who knows, the guy just laughed "hehe" and didn't explain again.
"Birthday." Rongzi said as if unintentionally.
Lin Zhiqi didn't understand, but Rong Ziyu understood, "Yes." There is a birthday banquet in Shouzhou City. Alas! ”
Lin Zhiqi was stunned, and suddenly thought that Li Da, who had died before, had said that he was going to rush to Shouzhou City to attend someone's birthday banquet. She couldn't remember, but it didn't matter who it was, it wasn't a good thing anyway.
Combined with the novels and TV series I have watched before, I understand a little bit by making up for it.
"Alas!" Lin Zhiqi sighed, and she could only sigh, because she had no ability to change anything.
At this time, the steward who was in charge of arranging for them to rest came out with an apologetic face, "Second Miss, two cousins, the yard has been arranged." It's just that the three of them have to be wronged. ”
The so-called "squeezing" is actually living in a small courtyard with few rooms.
Rong Ziyu said politely: "It's our brother who has caused trouble for Steward Qi." "After all, the two of them weren't counted in the first place, not to mention that the two of them were still escorted.
Steward Qi hurriedly explained, "Actually, it was originally a big courtyard that was originally ordered in advance, but there have been many people coming and going in recent days, so it can't be moved." ”
Lots of people? It seems to have something to do with that birthday banquet again.
When they arrived at the small courtyard, they found that what the Qi steward said was really crowded! There are only five rooms in total.
Lin Zhiqi frowned and picked the largest one, and took all the maids to move in, fortunately, there are halls and bedrooms inside, and "squeezing" can still make up for one night.
Rong Ziqi and Rong Ziyu took Jin Zhu and six guards, including Wei Xing, into two rooms with a bitter face.
You said there were two more? The people from the trading house haven't come here yet! Not counting those guys who live with the goods, the shopkeeper Qin and a few stewards, you can't let the family lay the floor in the yard!
Later, when Apple and the others went to get food, they heard that it was already good to have a separate yard on their side, and it was said that there were even more pits.
"Isn't this the birthday of the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, one by one, rushing to form like this, as for it?" Lin Zhiqi was extremely dissatisfied with the old man who had passed his birthday this time, who was said to be the governor of Shouzhou.
"Cousin Qi, you can wronged that old man." Rong Ziyu smiled with a look of injustice, he and Rong Ziqi were called over to eat together.
"How did you wrong? Didn't those people come to the birthday party? ”
"It's not far from Shouzhou City, you don't have to live here to eat and drink." Eiko has a "I know" expression on his face.
Lin Zhiqi said kindly: "Since you know, then tell me, what are they doing?" ”
"Hey, hey! Like us, they went to see the Oiran convention. ”
"Huh?" Are you TM kidding me? Lin Zhiqi would never believe that there were so many people in this world who were as boring as the three of them. Although there were already a group of gentlemen in Xingzhou City who followed the local contestants.
"Hahaha, third brother, don't tease Cousin Qi." Rong Ziyu laughed, "Be careful that she hits you." ”
"Isn't that so?"
"Not exactly. However, in terms of destinations, it is indeed the same as us. Rong Ziyu explained.
"Destination? Yizhou? ”
"It's south." Eiko interjected, "Can we eat first!" ”
"Yes, yes, let's talk while eating!" Rong Ziyu said with a smile.
The three of them are all young people, and they are all casual masters, and they don't care about the rules that can't be spoken.
"To put it simply, it's because the capital has already decided to tour the south." Rong Ziyu told Lin Zhiqi about the recent general direction of the capital, that is, the emperor's southern tour, which is almost known to everyone who should know.
"Are they going for Your Majesty? Why? "I haven't heard of the truth that when the emperor goes out on patrol, the nobles of the whole country have to worship!
"I don't know how much Cousin Qi knows about my lords and titles of the Great Jin Dynasty?" (To be continued......)
