The city of Nanjing, which is slightly full of autumn, is full of traffic and people.

Even when it was approaching evening, the streets were crowded with people walking shoulder to shoulder, and all kinds of shops on both sides of the street were opening to greet waves of young ladies.

Although there are a lot of people, there is no trace of the wide road, except for the occasional shop or two that have to cross the street to reach the other side, and more people would rather crowd it and only walk on the narrow road on both sides of the road according to the so-called 'rules of travel'.

The central road is reserved for fast horses and carriages, so it is also called 'road' by the common people, and the narrow roads on both sides of the road are only allowed to pass through pedestrians, so it is called 'sidewalk'.

In the road where the sidewalks on both sides are parallel, there will be an area where the passage is allowed every 100 zhang is sprayed with eye-catching white paint, which is different from the dark asphalt road, and resembles the stripes on the body of a zebra, so it is called 'zebra crossing'.

In the process of Nanjing's urban planning, Wang Yusen put a lot of effort into prohibiting pedestrians from crossing the road, and could only take the zebra crossing aisle, otherwise the rider would not bear any responsibility if he was hit by a carriage or a galloping horse.

By the same token, once a carriage or galloping horse crashes into the pavement, the rider is basically finished.

If a horse hits a pedestrian and kills him, the rider often faces more than ten years in prison, and if the rider injures someone while drinking, it is basically a death sentence.

Wang Yusen's vigorous rectification has greatly improved Nanjing's transportation situation, and the situation in the past where it is impossible to go everywhere and horse-drawn carriages are often sluggish no longer exists, and all kinds of traveling merchants and hawkers are almost all concentrated on both sides of the sidewalk, and there will be no traffic jams.

This is also good for the protection of the people, after all, Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and often receives military and political important documents from all over the provinces. If it is 800 miles, it will be even more fatal, and the messengers are often directly hit, and those who are killed not only deserve to be unlucky, but the family members also have to pay for the horse money.

In Nanjing, this situation will no longer occur.

Looking at the carriage galloping beside him, and then looking at the endless crowd in front of him, Zhu Wenqi, who ran out of the academy on leave, was very irritable, he originally wanted to come out by carriage, but his carriage was in the palace, and if he returned to the palace, his father would know about it.

As for why you want to hide it from your father?

Zhu Wenqi turned his head to look at the shy little girl beside him, and smirked.

The girls who have not come out of the cabinet will basically not show their heads outside, it is all the old yellow calendar, and it is also the rigid male and female defense under Cheng Zhu Lixue, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, not to mention the big girls and little daughters-in-law running around the streets, homosexuality became a common practice.

Chinese people are actually not conservative, the more time goes on, the more open it is, because Yan Yu can turn the wheel with **, swaggering through the street and becoming the dream lover of young women in Xianyang City, it is enough to see the general.

After the Song Dynasty, the barriers of male and female defense became higher and higher, and the gap became wider and wider, and it was even more out of control in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

So much so that in the Qing Dynasty, there was a famous saying that 'rape out of the woman'.

Da Ming Law adds year after year that many morally permissible things are no longer allowed by law, such as the custom of sinking the '** slut' into the river.

Girls have a night party with a lover, or sneak out of the house to become a so-called slut, so that the father sinks the river, as long as you dare to be the official government and don't stop you, anyway, the national law is ruthless afterwards, you still can't run away with a murder.

This also indirectly helps to improve the status of women, so that more and more little lovers and little girls have the opportunity to contact and the foundation for the cultivation of secret feelings.

was discovered, and it was a big deal to go home and be beaten.

As long as you don't make a scandal about getting pregnant before marriage, and restrain the weeds growing in your heart, it's not a big problem.

"It's getting late, I have to go home."

After walking for two streets, the little girl was also tired of walking, with beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, she glanced at Zhu Wenqi timidly and hurriedly lowered her shyly, rubbing her fingers with the corners of her clothes.

"Ahh

Zhu Wenqi scratched the back of his head: "It's very good to have a roast duck restaurant in front, or I'll send you back after we finish eating." ”

"No, no, no."

The little girl said no, but the longing in her eyes still betrayed her.

Zhu Wenqi was also thick-skinned, although he didn't dare to grab the girl's hand, he still urged "let's go", and his body began to open the way for the little girl.

The two of them walked towards the roast duck restaurant, and when they reached the door, the girl obviously hesitated again, and did not dare to take a step.

"Let's go in."

Zhu Wenqi was a little impatient: "It's all here, try it, I'm busy preparing for the final exam in the next few days, but I don't have time to run out again." ”

The girl bit her lip lightly, and before Lianbu took a step, she stopped, paused for a few seconds, and then turned around and left.

"It's late, and when my dad comes home and finds me sneaking out, it's all over."

Zhu Wenqi touched the tip of his nose a little unpleasantly, but he didn't force it much, so he had to follow to perform his guard duties.

Walking to the position of the zebra crossing, the two of them were just about to cross the road, when several horsemen had already galloped over, sealing the entrance, and a row of carriages began to pass behind them.

Each carriage had a flag planted on its wheel.

"State Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites."

"Jinyi Wei Nanjing Thousand Households."

"Navy Yangtze River Defense Yamen."

"Beam."

In particular, the carriage with the Liangzi flag is simple but not simple, because it is six horses driving side by side.

This is a specification that only the kings of the Ming Federation and the allies are eligible to enjoy, and only Yang Shiqi and Zhu Di are specially approved by Zhu Yunwen to enjoy the whole Ming Dynasty.

"It's a big battle."

"Who is this Liang, where did the king of Fanbang come from?"

The common people at the feet of the Son of Heaven basically have some knowledge, so they can judge the status of the guests in the carriage from the specifications of the honor guard and escort of the carriage at a glance.

These words came into Zhu Wenqi's ears, and he was also accompanied by the beautiful women around him, even if he raised his voice.

"Liang Daoyi of Palembang, in the Nanyang countries, is also our Han descendant."

Zhu Wenqi's voice was not only heard clearly by the ordinary people around him, but also by several carriages that could pass by.

The curtains of several carriages were lifted.

"Presumptuous, dare to call the state guests respectful."

A seven-rank official next to the carriage of the Ministry of Rites looked at Zhu Wenqi in a voice, and he was stunned just after reprimanding.

Zhu Wenqi has a big temper, how can he be so angry, he just planned to scold back, but he found that the beauty next to him turned his head and ran, and he couldn't care about sneering at the moment, so he quickly pulled his legs to catch up, leaving only one sentence.

"You are presumptuous, and when the little brother is done, he will pick your skin."

The two little guys chased into the crowd one after the other, and the official in the carriage of the Ministry of Rites poked his head out: "Old Han, why are you stunned, let's go." ”

"Yes."

The middle-aged official who called Lao Han came back to his senses and sang in a loud voice: "The convoy does not stop, hurry up and send the state guests to the state guesthouse first." ”

After speaking, he muttered a sentence.

"That was my girl just now?"
