3, may I ask if Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou are there
When the plum is yellow, the day is clear, and the stream is overflowing but the mountains are traveling.
The green shade does not decrease when it comes, and it adds four or five yellow orioles.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Hua has been in this world for more than two months, and it was late spring when he first arrived, and now it is midsummer.
For more than two months, Zhuang Hua has been able to listen and speak the language of this world under the guidance of Shanting, although there are some differences in accents, but it does not affect normal communication. And Shan Ting said, although after more than a hundred years of conquest and war, only five countries divide and rule, there are still dozens of countries with different languages, even if it is him, there are only six, her current accent problem is nothing, but the language she said before, he is really unheard of, very surprised.
When he heard the last words of the mountain court, Zhuang Hua chuckled in his heart, but then the mountain court said that many hermits have been living in seclusion since the world was not divided hundreds of years ago, and it is not surprising that the language is very different from today.
Zhuang Huayou secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and said in his heart: It doesn't matter if you speak loudly, it scared me into a cold sweat, but that round talk solved the problem in my heart, and I will answer this way if others have doubts about me in the future.
In the past two months, under the leadership of the indigenous tour guide Shan Ting, Zhuang Hua also has a general understanding of the social structure and history of the world, as well as the current situation.
First of all, the current situation of this world is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Chinese history, after more than 100 years of conquest, now only six countries divide the world, and there are still conquests against each other.
These six countries are: Yang, Qi, Zhao, Fu, Zi, and Jing. Among them, Yangguo has the most prosperous commerce, Zhaoguo has the strongest military force, Ziguo has the most fertile land and the most abundant grain, Yasukuni has the longest outstanding people and profound spiritual heritage, and Fu and Qi are the horns of each other and support each other. Therefore, at present, the six countries have maintained a superficial balance and are evenly matched for a while.
Speaking of the social class here, the six royal families stand at the top of society and enjoy the most abundant resources in the world, which ordinary people cannot imagine.
After that, there is the scholar class, officials from all countries are out of the scholar clan, not that there is a law that stipulates that non-scholars are not allowed to be officials, but the cultural spread of this world is too backward, all kinds of classics and books are written in bamboo slips and cloths, ordinary people simply cannot afford to consume, and it is not easy to make, so that knowledge, the most powerful thing, is only spread in a small area, and cannot be popularized, so that knowledge and learning are complacent, and the ignorant become more and more ignorant. This indirectly led to the higher and higher status of the scholars, even if they were not officials, they were also detached, and they would be courteous everywhere they went, and there were even royal ministers to support the number of diners as a comparison.
Next is the common people, and the people here do not refer to the people in general, but to the non-scholars with surnames. If you have a surname, it means that this person is a legitimate citizen, mostly an agricultural (landlord), if you are fortunate enough to learn knowledge, and get the recognition and recommendation of celebrities, you can be promoted to the scholar family, and then you will be superior. There are also a small number of common people, who are businessmen, and such people pay a large amount of taxes in exchange for their surnames from commoners to commoners.
Thirdly, there are commoners, mostly engaged in lowly jobs (commerce, handicrafts, tenants, soldiers), such people are extremely mobile, have names but no surnames, and are also the most exploited class, and at the same time the most basic composition of the whole society, but they do not enjoy the rights of the people and the protection of the law, they can be bought and sold, even if they are killed, if the murderer pays the official fine, he will not be guilty.
At the bottom, which Zhuang Hua considers the most inhumane, is almost a stratum that has been divided into the composition of human society in this world - untouchables. They are stigmatized, and once they become untouchables, they are untouchables for life, some of them have been untouchables for generations, inherited from their grandparents, and some are prisoners of war. They were enslaved and bound like livestock, without clothing, without food, without cure, and without a place to bury them even when they died.
Along the way, people from almost all walks of life in Zhuang Hua have seen it, admired it, despised it, indignant it, saddened it, sympathized with it, and pitied it.
However, no matter what thoughts and emotions she has in her heart, she can't do anything, because according to the division here, she is not even a pariah, and a untouchable still has a household registration, she is a black household, in case she is held accountable...... Although Shan Ting is a scholar, with the tragic situation she saw when she first met him, maybe his troubles are more serious than her's black household! So she didn't count on Shanting's help at all.
Under Zhuang Hua's weak heart and the unexplained low profile of the mountain court, although the two of them were still entertained and cared for by all the county gentry on the road, they calmly walked from the westernmost part of the Yang Kingdom to the northernmost point.
As soon as Zhuang Hua passed through, he arrived at the westernmost border of the Yang country, the mountain where the mountain was found was called Jiuding Mountain, the west is the Yang country, the east is the Jun River with a basin all over the world, and the east bank of the Jun River is the Zi country.
Twenty years ago, Ziguo and Yangguo formed an alliance of mutual non-aggression and mutual trade on Jiuding Mountain, which is the origin of the name of Jiuding Mountain.
Yangguo is comparable to Ziguo, Zhaoguo, and Yasukuni, with Ziguo in the west, Zhaoguo in the north, Yasukuni in the south, and the sea in the east.
Through a cursory understanding of this world, Zhuang Hua knew that the place where Shanting was going was Zhaoguo, which was famous for its military might.
The farther north you go, the stronger the martial wind becomes, and when you reach Shaolu County, which is adjacent to Zhaoguo, the streets and alleys are almost full of samurai with swords and swords.
A carriage entered through the south gate, and a bald boy in the carriage was lifting the corner of the curtain on the side window of the carriage to look out. A faint smile appeared on the face of the elegant young man in the same car, and he said to the bald and hairless young man, "What does Zhuang Hua think about this?"
In the carriage were Zhuang Hua and Shan Ting. Yes, it was the carriage, because the two people who were funded by the Shanting clan had already changed their guns and guns to replace the donkey cart with a carriage.
Zhuang Hua put down the curtain and said: "Martial arts are prevalent here, and most of the people who pass by are warriors, but is it because of the neighboring country?" ”
Shan Ting nodded, his tone was full of nostalgia, and said: "The land of the Zhaoguo Plain is scarce for cultivation, and the rest of the land is mostly hilly and unsuitable for farming, and the more you go to the north, the more scarce the cultivated land is, and the extreme north has the first month of the year for winter, and it is impossible to cultivate at all." It was because the imperial court of Zhaoguo had to buy grain from other countries, and issued a decree that 'those who are scholars can receive money and rice from the imperial court'.
Those who know and learn are one out of ten in the world, and those who practice martial arts can be except for the untouchables, and there are four or five out of ten people who use martial arts to win warriors in Zhaoguo, and there are countless people who want to use martial arts to win warriors such as carp crossing the river. The counties of Zhaoguo all have martial arts pavilions for warriors to settle down and eat, and each pavilion has the right to recommend warriors to become samurai qualifications, and those who get the recommendation can go directly to the national capital Shaoguang samurai pavilion to receive samurai documents, and become a warrior in one fell swoop.
In this way, the people of Zhaoguo are good at martial arts, therefore, the world's warriors have come, the poor want to join the soldiers, and the proud want to prove their strength. And the counties of other countries adjacent to Zhaoguo have also set up martial arts pavilions for martial artists to settle down. ”
Zhuang Hua nodded frequently, it is not unreasonable for Zhaoguo to be strong in military strength, in troubled times, warriors are resources.
"Zhuang Hua is willing to go to Zhaoguo and experience the customs of Zhaoguo in person?" Shanting said.
Zhuang Hua's heart jumped, and he looked lightly at the mountain court that was still clear and calm.
The handsome face of the mountain court, which was as warm as jade, always had a warm smile like a spring breeze, and he did not shy away from Zhuang Hua's doubtful and scrutinizing gaze, and sat still.
After a long time, Zhuang Hua said, "Is Shanting going to say goodbye to me?"
Before, no matter the direction of walking or the place to stay, it was decided by the mountain court, and at the beginning, Zhuang Hua specially asked for his opinion, after Zhuang Hua twice and three times said that he had no opinion on this, it was all up to him, and the mountain court never said these nonsense, and even Zhuang Hua, who had turned to Ziguo halfway, did not ask a word.
Now Shan Ting suddenly asked this, obviously to say goodbye to her, and the two of them will return to the bridge in the future.
Shan Ting nodded, "Zhuang Hua is really smart. On the road after that, the mountain garden can no longer accompany you. ”
For a moment, there was silence in the carriage. It is not as quiet as the usual silence, but the silence is oppressive.
Zhuang Hua knew that one day the two would part ways, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, which made her feel caught off guard.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and she knows how to grasp the distance and way of getting along with all kinds of people. She and Shanting, both teachers and friends, never explore each other's privacy, and there is a tacit understanding between them.
"Zhuang Hua Xie Shanting took care of all the way." Zhuang Hua paused, he was very embarrassed, but he continued calmly: "Zhuang Hua still has something to ask for in the mountain court...... My household registration ......" Ren Zhuanghua's face was so calm that he couldn't say it anymore.
As she said, it was Shanting who took care of her along the way. Taught her language, etiquette, royal car, horseback riding, some simple martial arts, explained to her the customs of various places, the affairs of the government and the opposition, so that she had an understanding and cognition of the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Shanting is her reborn parent. Therefore, for Shanting, Zhuang Hua only has gratitude and the debtor's sense of indebtedness to the creditor, and then asks for something, she really feels that it is too unreasonable, but household registration is essential, otherwise she may not be able to move an inch without him.
"Zhuang Hua doesn't have to worry, the household registration has already been planned, and Zhuang Hua will not be mistaken." The mountain garden is confident.
"Warrior Pavilion." Zhuang Hua looked up at the plaque in front of the building in front of him, which was quite Qin and Han style, and read out the four characters on it.
Behind him, Shan Ting got out of the carriage and said to Zhuang Hua, "Please."
Zhuang Hua looked at Shanting suspiciously, but he didn't seem to have any intention of solving her doubts, but instead looked encouraged.
Zhuang Hua felt that his facial nerve was sluggish and showing signs of relief, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. She never saw that she had the talent to be a martial artist. But since the mountain court encouraged her to go in, it must be fine.
So, Zhuang Hua put aside his doubts and walked into the door of the martial arts pavilion with his cloth held high.
As soon as Zhuang Hua entered the door, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on her.
Surprised or puzzled, they kept glancing at her from head to toe, and no one spoke or moved.
The young man has no hair, a moon-white robe without a belt and no decoration, his handsome and profound face is indifferent, and he exudes an inexplicable temperament, which makes people want to get close but there is a faint sense of alienation that rejects people thousands of miles away. The brown beads that rotated in his right hand were unhurried, with a strange rhythm, which made people unconsciously feel calm.
If someone who is also a traverser sees Zhuang Hua's outfit, he will definitely chant the Buddha's name "Amitabha!" "Then say hello Master.
It's not that Zhuang Hua deliberately made a bad shape, but the men's clothing here should wear four or five layers, and the pants of the underwear are not tied but fixed with belts......
Zhuang Hua didn't think that she wore too many clothes, she was safer when she wore more clothes, but the pants were not tied, and she shook her head by relying on a cloth belt to maintain her, and she felt that it was too troublesome to tie so many belts, so she found a tailor to put laces on her pants according to her own requirements, and the underwear was tied with a belt, and the outer shirt was not belted.
As for the string of rosewood bracelets in her hands, it is a substitute for the necklace, just like now, under the gaze of everyone, she keeps turning the beads in her hand to relieve tension.
Behind him, Shan Ting also stepped into the hotel, and saw Zhuang Hua standing motionless in front of him, and asked, "Why doesn't Zhuang Hua go in?" ”
Zhuang Hua was embarrassed and walked forward silently. Will she tell Yamatia that she was scared?
When everyone in sight focuses on one person, it has the same effect as Medusa's petrified eyes.
As soon as Zhuang Hua and Shan Ting walked in, another warrior suddenly came in at the door, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Xing Le!" Guanshan Juwan came to avenge the revenge of a sword, but did he dare to respond to a certain battle? ”
A lazy low male voice came from upstairs: "I thought it was someone, it turned out to be a defeated soldier under the sword of so-and-so."
Everyone including Shanting and Zhuanghua all followed the prestige.
A handsome man with crooked hair, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and high nose and thin lips was pacing down the stairs, a whimsical smile on his lips that seemed to mock the challenger's indiscretion.
Ju Wan drew his sword in anger, crossed the mountain court and Zhuang Hua in a few steps, and swung his sword to slash at the handsome man who had not yet reached the bottom of the stairs, that is, Xing Le in his mouth.
Xing Le's eyes were cold, and the long sword behind his back came out of its sheath like lightning, effortlessly blocking the sword blade that Ju Wan Shi slashed with all his strength, and at the same time pumped one leg on Ju Wan's sword-holding right arm, and then jumped up in the air and kicked Ju Wan away.
In Ju Wan's frightened gaze, he watched his sword fly to the side without his hand, and he was kicked by Xing Le and flew out upside down, and half a year of hard cultivation became a joke.
And Zhuang Hua, who was almost killed by the pond fish, quickly took a step to the back, and the long sword that flew out of Ju Wan's hand just fell, nailed to the position where she was standing just now, and trembled from herself.
Xing Le saw that the bald boy had dodged the flying sword, and his heart was also relaxed, and then he secretly admired the young man's courage, and he could still be calm and easy to deal with in the face of such a dangerous situation.
How did he know that Zhuang Hua, who had been frightened into wandering out of the world, was flashing strange thoughts in his mind.
Inns, warriors, duels...... May I ask if Xiang Shaolong and Shanrou are there?
