Chapter 18 It's Lively
85_85797Jingxian is not big, it is not small, among the counties, it is the closest to Jingzhou, and this geographical location alone provides a higher stage for the outstanding children of Jingxian.
Mother Zhuang had already spread the news that Jiankang had come to Ruyu Zhoulang to hold a banquet, so when she came to the door with all the maids, as soon as she saw it, there were more than a dozen ox carts with gorgeous or light curtains fluttering at a stop, and behind them, there were ox carts coming.
Looking at the family emblems on these ox carts, looking at the children in Chinese clothes, Mother Zhuang took a deep breath, she showed a satisfied smile, behind her, several maidservants had exclaimed: "God, why are there even people from the big family in Jingzhou City?" ”
But there was dust rolling in the back, and everyone looked at it, only to see a gorgeous carriage of the same color - look at the emblem on the carriage, is it from the powerful family in Jingzhou City?
Mother Zhuang had long thought that hosting a banquet for the sons of the Zhou family would bring scenery to her family, but she never thought that it would be such a scenery!
Looking at the smoke and dust that was still rising in front of her, Zhuang's mother was so excited that her voice trembled a little, and she whispered: "Buddha Baoruo, this time, my Zhuang Nan clan is finally out of the blue sky." "I think that after today, all the people in Jingzhou will know that the Zhuang family of Jingxian County has climbed the Jiankang Zhou family...... If it hadn't climbed, how could the banquet of the Zhou family's children be held in the banker's other village?
I have always been in business, and it is this autumn wind that is needed. In the future, what does Jingxian Zhuang want to do, which one doesn't weigh the weight first? Similarly, she, as the person in charge, has soared to the sky.
At this moment, she found that she had gained such a huge bargain, and her heart was beating like a drum for a while, and she felt that the pain of loss a while ago was swept away, and from now on, her status in the Zhuang clan will be on a higher level.
Hmph, when she gains power, those who have bullied her and insulted her for a while will be reported back one by one! There is also the orphan girl surnamed Ji, if it weren't for the news she released, how could she suffer such a big loss? A while ago, it was just a matter of not being able to do it, but now that she is back, she has to let the little slut know that she is powerful.
People like Zhuang's mother, it is typical to pick out three points for nothing. During the days when her wife was a concubine, she thought about it and still hated Ji Ji. After all, if it weren't for the evil idea of that broom star, how could she have fallen so badly?
Outside the gate of the courtyard, the children of each family did not get out of the car. Those high-spirited Jingxian children, when they saw the Jingzhou giants coming from behind at this moment, where did they still have the confidence to get off first?
The carriage behind was still coming, but the people in front did not dare to get off first, and before they knew it, the two long streets outside the courtyard of Zhuangfu were filled with carriages and horses.
I don't know how long it took, someone shouted excitedly: "Look, that's the carriage of Jingfu!" "Jingzhou's first beauty, Jing Li, has arrived!" "It's such a big face, even Jing Li came." "Jing Li is here, and those Haoqiang children who admire her will definitely come." "It's hilarious."
Jingxian County is indeed lively, but I am afraid that the sons of the Zhou family did not expect that a mere banquet would alarm so many Jingzhou families.
With the arrival of Jing Li, everyone was completely boiling.
Jingzhou is not as good as Jiankang, when the northern high-ranking men went south, the choice of stopping place is naturally Jiankang, the imperial capital. The smaller scholars and the clans of the world cannot occupy territory in Jiankang, and they will also choose the counties close to Jiankang as their foothold. It can be said that compared with Yangzhou Zhudi, Jingzhou is definitely not the first choice in the eyes of the northern Gaomen.
It is precisely because there are not many Dashi clans who come to Jingzhou to station, so those who are now dominant in Jingzhou are basically local scholars. So then again, if there was no northern Gaomen going south, this Yangtze River basin would still be half of the world, where are there a few real scholarly families and wealthy families? Therefore, the so-called wealthy family in Jingzhou is just a dominance in Jingzhou.
Therefore, when Jing Li, the first beauty in Jingzhou, and the children of the Jing Li family who were surrounded behind her, came dressed up, the sons of the Zhou family, as the masters, felt that there was no need to show up, and they had not appeared until now, let alone stepped forward to greet them.
Jing Li under the sun, unbelievably beautiful, she is still dressed plainly and cleanly, this autumn frost day in September, she is still wearing a light silver embroidered five-colored bird Luo Yi, her Luo Yi waist is high, the hem of the clothes is dragged up layer by layer, Luo Yi is flashing, extremely gorgeous under the sun, it is a little thin compared to this weather. Similarly, she stepped on wooden shoes, and a pair of snow-white jade feet shone in the sun, which was a little too frost-resistant compared to the frosty weather in autumn.
Those who got off at the same time as Jing Li were the children of the family with a wide robe and wide sleeves, and their clothes were flying. In this era of popular thinness and carefree, the children of these families are thin and white, just look carefully, everyone will find that most of these people's whiteness is powdered.
Men's powder, which is again a popular feature of this era.
Jingli A few Jingdi beauties, as well as more than a dozen Jingzhou clan children, got out of the car, and a gust of fragrant wind wafted in. This fragrance is not just for beauties. The children of all families, that is also everyone wears sachets, and their clothes and shoes are smoked with incense. Of course, this is also a popular feature of this era.
When they get out of the car, they are all supported by the subordinates, these subordinates, some are handsome teenagers, some are beautiful maidservants, they respectfully and behave extremely elegantly and standardly to help their masters get out of the car, such actions, is also a popular feature of this era. In today's world, although wars are frequent, it is so strange, whether it is the scholar clan, the world clan, the strong or the strong, the Han clan and the high family, all the children of Jiangnan are beautiful because they are weak and invincible, and they are ashamed to be strong and good at martial arts.
It is precisely because of this atmosphere that as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, he led his troops to sweep away the robbers and robbers in more than 30 counties in one go, and he never publicized his merits.
The convoy lined up in two long columns, waiting quietly by the roadside, waiting for the children of the highest status in the family to pass first.
Soon, Jing Li and her friends arrived at the gate of the manor.
Zhuang Nan was so excited that she couldn't even finish her words, she stepped forward and stammered: "Ladies and gentlemen, coming, really, the wall is shining." Among so many people, Zhuang Nan can be regarded as having a wide range of visions, but at this time, she was still too excited and lost her mind.
But speaking of which, it didn't matter if she lost her temper or not, because Jing Li and the others didn't even look at her, so they walked past her and walked towards the other village. Family class determines status, and status affects a qiē, which is also a characteristic of this era. Therefore, Jing Li and others' ignorance made Zhuang's mother narrow-minded, and they never complained...... Everyone in the world is like this, and it has become a matter of course.
After Jing Li and the others entered the village, it was a second-rate family from Jingzhou who entered, and after all the children of the family in Jingzhou entered the village, it was the turn of the Haoqiang children of Jing County.
One by one, arranged according to the family status from high to low, get off the car in an orderly manner, walk in the road, enter the manor from the main entrance, and all of them have wide robes and wide sleeves, the fragrance is wafting, both men and women are as white as jade, this style and pomp, so that the common people peeking in the distance are dizzy and dazzled, and their minds are taken away.
Jing Li was the first to enter the manor.
Looking at the Zhuangzi carefully arranged by Zhuang's mother, Jing Li didn't even raise his eyelids, but looked around for something.
On her side, a sharp-faced sister-in-law whose beauty was not inferior to her, but her family background was slightly inferior, couldn't help but chuckle, "Ah Li, you are someone like Xie Lang who can travel with her, although the sons of the Zhou clan have a bit of weight in front of His Majesty, but after all, they are only from ordinary clans, can you afford to give them face like this?" ”
A smile appeared on Jing Li's beautiful face, she lightly opened her lips, and said almost inaudibly: "Ah Bi hasn't heard of it?" Zhou Yu and they came to Jingzhou this time, are they going to take a wife? ”
"I know that."
"You don't know. Although Xie Lang is good, his family is too high and outstanding, and the sister-in-law of the Xie family of Chen County will definitely not marry a woman from a local family in Jingzhou as his wife. ”
Seeing that her friend was about to cry, Ah Bi sighed softly, and she whispered: "However, it is Xie Linlang's concubine, and it is far better than Zhou's wife." ”
Jing Li heard her friend's words, but she smiled sadly, and she said in a low voice: "How can I not know this reason? But Xie Lang is really the same as Ji Kang in the past. He said that in troubled times, this body is like a wanderer, and he does not know that he will die tomorrow today. He also said that between the mountains and rivers, he really looked down on women, whether he married a wife or took a concubine, it was just like that. He even said that if he really met someone he liked, he had to keep it, and no matter how many he wanted, he had no intention. ”
Abi was shocked, and she whispered, "He's only going to marry one?" ”
After asking this, she saw that Jing Li was about to cry, and immediately suppressed the shock in her heart, and said in a low voice: "In this way, the sons of the Zhou family are indeed a good match for Ah Li." She wanted to make Jing Li, who was sad, happy, so she said again: "Jing's family is the same as Zhou's family, and Ah Li is so beautiful, whether you want to come to Zhou Yu or Zhou Luan, you will fall in love when you see Ah Li." Hey, I just hope that your marriage date with Zhou Yu will not be set too early, and I am reluctant to let you leave Jingzhou. The implication is that Zhou Yu has completely regarded Jing Li as a thing in his sleeve.
The two girls were talking here, and in front of them, someone was saying, "Look, that's Zhou Yu." The sons of the Zhou family finally appeared! "Sure enough, people are as good as their names, and Lang is as beautiful as jade." "But I think that the three Langjun behind Zhou Yu are also extraordinary." "That's it, Zhou Shiro, that's all on the list in the palace."
In the garden, all the children turned back elegantly, looking ahead one by one, under the illumination of the sun, Zhuang Mu only felt that Zhou Yu and others, who didn't think they were particularly remarkable, were really dragons and phoenixes, and they were extremely dazzling.

When I wrote this book, I had more information than I did when I wrote about the spring of the Southern Dynasties, and I thought it would be closer to the tense style of the time
