Chapter Thirty-Nine
85_85797 With a home, people's hearts are set, at this time, Ji Ji, because the screen has not yet arrived, has a rare leisure.
Seeing that the sky was high and crisp, and the flowers of the orange blossom and neem tree were fragrant in the air, Ji Ji picked a maid named Qin Xiaocao, and then took Sun Fu and went out in a donkey cart.
Ji Ji's manor was quite far away from the main street, and when the donkey cart was still passing through one alley after another, outside, Sun Fuzheng happily said to her: "Girl, tell me what price did we buy for our eight horses?" ”
Her own servants have now learned from her, and they are full of money when they open and close their mouths, which makes those scholars listen to it, and they must smell their copper stench, and their mouths are full of blockages.
However, money is indeed Ji Ji's love, so she happily answered, "What price?" ”
Sun Fu glanced around, his voice was low, and he proudly stretched out a finger and said, "If you put it in Jingzhou, you can buy twelve identical horses!" Fifty percent! ”
"That's a pretty good price." Ji Ji was very happy.
Sun Fu became proud, and he grinned: "What is this price?" I asked, this Jiankang horse is very few in number. In my opinion, there are only so few horses in the huge Jiankang Horse Market, and the price is several times higher to fit the market! ”
At this time, Sun Fu didn't know that there was a reason for Jiankang's lack of horses, and there was even more reason for the lack of carriages. "Liang's Family Motto" has clouds, built a Kangshi clan, and is afraid of horses like tigers.
What do you mean by that? In this era, no matter what the nobles were, they had to choose the best and most expensive to show their family background, and under such aesthetics, if their chariot was a horse-drawn carriage, they had to choose the tallest horse to match. But the real situation is that the scholars have been extravagant for more than 100 years, their bodies are weak, and at the same time, they regard weakness as beauty, and the tall and majestic horses have a majestic momentum, a battlefield atmosphere, a loud cry, and a masculine voice. In contrast, the docile and short donkey that walks slowly is more in line with the minds of the scholars.
At the same time, when Jiankang people see people riding horses or carriages, they will regard them as barbarians under the rule of Xianbei in the north, and they will be regarded as nouveau riche who do not know the atmosphere of Jiankang, and they will be despised and disgusted in their hearts. It was Xie Lang, who also rode a donkey cart or ox cart when he was in Jiankang.
When Sun Fu talked about money, he was always in high spirits, and he said happily: "Girl, I listened to your instructions and replaced all the cars in the family with donkey carts. Hey, this Jiankang cattle are also much more expensive than Jingdi, and there are more and cheaper donkeys, so I added twenty-four donkey carts to my family in one go, plus the original one, our family has a total of thirty donkey carts. ”
Qin Xiaocao on the side, although she is only fourteen years old, although she is very talented in reading, but she has been poor for too long, and now she suddenly heard Sun Fu say that she has thirty donkey carts, and the little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and her whole face was radiant, and she looked very satisfied and proud.
Ji Ji also smiled slightly, and she said to Sun Fu outside: "You have done a good job in this matter. ”
Sun Fu had already respected her like a god at this time, and when he heard Ji Ji's praise, he was so proud that he couldn't close his mouth.
At this moment, Ji Ji's donkey cart arrived on the main street.
As soon as Kankan entered the main street, Ji Ji was shocked by the rushing prosperity. When she passed by here ten days ago, one did not come to the main street, and the other came and went in a hurry, and she did not have time to see the grace of this world-famous person.
But now, here she is, she sees it! She saw this great river, Jiankang, which countless people in the Central Plains were eager to see, and she saw this most prosperous and desirable city!
Ji Ji lifted the curtain, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street stupidly, looked at the children with wide sleeves and fragrant clothes, and looked at the shouts of buying in every piece of air, and for a while, she was drunk.
On the side, Qin Xiaocao saw Ji Ji turn her head and look at the other side of the embankment, and couldn't help but whisper: "Sister-in-law, there is the newly established Chinese Studies Museum and the Metaphysics Museum of His Majesty, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
Ji Ji nodded hurriedly.
At that moment, the donkey cart was moving again.
When her donkey cart walked up the embankment, Ji Xi was even more drunk, only to see more than a dozen leaves on the water surface with the fragrance of fat powder and flowers, and on each leaf boat, there were some young men with wide robes and wide sleeves, or handsome or clear.
This era is a rare era in history that cares most about the beauty of appearance, and the recognized beauty of this era is thin, fair-skinned, delicate, and beautiful, so Ji Ji looked at it at a glance and saw this kind of robe with wide robes, wooden shoes, handsome eyebrows, and graceful demeanor.
Now it is spring, the bright spring to the extreme, the warm and fragrant mountains and rivers, all reveal a kind of lazy, leisurely, luxurious, comfortable and luxurious.
This is a kind of beauty in Jingzhou, anywhere in the world, it is difficult to see, every scholar who goes in and out here, their biggest purpose is to be drunk and dream of death, every celebrity who goes in and out here, their greatest happiness is also to be drunk and dream of death!
At this moment, Ji Ji's donkey cart crossed the embankment.
Glancing at the two university halls not far away, Ji Ji saw the river embankment, and I don't know if it was for this fragrance or what, planting many, many orange trees and neem trees, the small flowers full of trees, the thick fragrance of flowers, made her body that had been running around become crispy.
So Ji Ji said, "Let's go to the river embankment." ”
Sun Fu hurriedly responded, but after the donkey cart drove to one place, Ji Ji could only get out of the car and walk. Simply, she came out to play today, so she took Qin Xiaocao out of the car, and the master and servant, like all the children of the scholar clan around, stepped on the wooden shoes, da, and walked towards the river leisurely and happily.
After the two came to the river, Ji Ji first glanced casually, and suddenly saw that the pedestrians around her had stopped moving, on the river embankment, in the traffic flow, one by one the car windows were brushed open, and a delicate or beautiful face looked behind her, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Turning her head this time, Ji Ji was also stunned.
But in a team that came slowly, the one at the forefront was a twenty-three or four-year-old young man Lang Jun.
This young man Lang Jun, wearing a scarf crown, wide sleeves in the wind, wearing the same wide robe and belt, he is obviously longer and straighter than those emaciated Lang Jun next to him, his facial features are very fair and handsome, the most special thing is his eyes, very deep, very melancholy, when he looks up at a person, that look will make people have the illusion that they would rather drown in this life.
In fact, of the three or four Lang Jun beside this person, there are also two outstanding ones, but they are not conspicuous compared to this person's first-class demeanor.
Ji Ji glanced at it and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Who is that Lang Jun?" ”
Qin Xiaocao glanced back and said, "This is Princess Suhe's husband and concubine, Captain Wendu. Qin Xiaocao knew that Ji Ji didn't know a lot about Jiankang, so he whispered: "Wen is a poor man, but he has been a prodigy since he was a child, and he shocked Yangzhou when he learned to learn. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Xiaocao lowered her voice more and more, and she said softly: "According to rumors in the government and the opposition, the people in the Chinese capital back then were not only Princess Suhe, I heard that there were two princesses who also fell for him, and one of His Majesty's favorite princesses was even more lovesick for him, and later His Majesty Xià knew about it, so he summoned Wendu, and at that time Wendu Hall responded to it, and it was really said that the above style and demeanor were elegant, and His Majesty Xià had a heart of love for talent, so he intended to marry him to the princess who was sick. Who knows, one day, when Wendu stayed in the palace, he somehow slept with Princess Suhe. Later, for this matter, Princess Suhe and the princess had a long war of words. ”
Qin Xiaocao approached Ji Ji and continued: "This matter is not over yet, after the princess recovered from her illness, she forcibly summoned Wen Du, who had married Princess Suhe, into the mansion, and I heard that she was detained in the mansion for a whole month!" ”
When Ji Ji heard this, she replied: "So, this Wendu is also having an affair with that princess?" ”
"Quite the opposite!" Qin Xiaocao sighed: "If that's the case, the daughter of the world won't respect Wendu like this." It was this article that was trapped for a month, but kept a distance from the princess. It is said that during that month, the princess slept with him every day, and held him with a sword several times, but Wen just refused to touch her, and when the princess let him out of the house, she cried uncontrollably. Girl, you don't know, that princess, but a real beauty, such a big beauty fell in love with him, but he was unmoved, for a whole month, in the face of such a big beauty's temptation and tenderness all the time, he never said a word, let alone crossed the halfway. Therefore, both the government and the opposition say that this article is both elegant and handsome, and the heart is like an iron stone. ”
When Ji Ji heard this, her eyes looking at Wendu also showed a hint of appreciation, she watched Wendu's team leave, and said slowly: "I know why he didn't touch that princess." ”
"Why?" At this moment, Qin Xiaocao was curious, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.
Ji Ji looked up at the white clouds in the distance, and said slowly: "He was originally a person with big minds and great talents, but he was unexpectedly calculated by a princess and became a criticized concubine, but the matter has been cast, so he can only admit it." It's just that he must be disdainful if he wants to let his dignified man be confined to the competition between the two princesses and become a clown-like person! ”
Ji Ji's voice was not loud, but this time, after her words fell, there was a crisp high-five from behind the big tree next to her, "Well said!" ”
But it was a scholar Langjun with a wide robe and big sleeves who walked out, this scholar Langjun was handsome and slightly thin, of course, this thinness, in this era, is a kind of bone-wise and clear-minded.
This gentleman listened to gossip behind his back, but he was not embarrassed at all. He bowed his head slightly towards Ji Ji and praised: "If my sister-in-law listens to Wen Du's words, she will definitely regard you as a confidant!" ”
After dropping this sentence, he didn't stay, nor did he intend to be noisy, he laughed to himself, and sang loudly: "The spring grass is twilight, the autumn wind is the sound of the autumn wind, the autumn wind is the spring grass, the Qiluo Bixi Pond Pavilion is at the end, and the qin is reduced Qiu Longping." Since ancient times, there has been death, don't drink hatred and swallow it! ”
The man sang and left, and went far away, and the words "Since ancient times, there has been death, don't swallow the sound without drinking and hating", and the air echoes.
After a long time, Qin Xiaocao's low voice came softly, "Is this the genius of the world?" The weight of the power lord, how can the hatred of the talented? Sister-in-law, if I can marry such a man, I will not ask for anything in my life. ”
Ji Ji turned her head, and after looking at Qin Xiaocao's delicate face for a while, she said in a low voice, "This is a cold man." ”
It's not a poor man, he can't make such a sad voice, and he can't sing such a song. Since he is a poor man, the distance between Qin Xiaocao and him is not so far.
Qin Xiaocao didn't hear her words, she was still looking at the departing figure of the person in a daze, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Just as the master and servant were whispering, on the river in front of them, I don't know who came, and the girls around were screaming and rejoicing.
Qin Xiaocao, who was a little lost, looked back when she heard the sound, and after a glance, she smiled at Ji Ji and said, "Girl, we are really lucky today, Jiankang five beautiful men, you just saw one, and now there is another one." ”
"Jiankang five beautiful men?" Ji Ji was curious.
Qin Xiaocao hummed: "Yes, yes, there are the so-called two scholars from the north and the south, and the five beautiful men of Jiankang are all from the spring boudoir dream." ”。
