Along the way, I saw the shops on both sides, the merchants were full of doors, and the pedestrians were weaving. Goods are piled up, and boats are lined up in long queues. The long streets connect Nangang and Linxiang. Prosperous anomalous.

Zhao E couldn't help but sigh: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”

The young official of the same car smiled and said: "As (Zhao) everyone said, the country of Ji is accessible by land and water, and it travels north and south. It is the Western Regions, and there are caravans every month. The wealth is rolling, and the money is making money every day. ”

Zhao E nodded happily: "This is the reason why Ji Guo is rich in the world." ”

"That's what everyone said." The horse stopped, and the harbor official opened the door, rolled down the folding pedal, and got out of the car first. A palace maid has arrived to greet him.

For these small and practical mechanisms, Zhao E was quite surprised by what he saw along the way. The palace carriage was faced with a double row of seats, and the doors were changed to open sideways. The car cover and the carriage are built as a whole, the door is made of solid wood clad iron, lined with leather, covered with black glazed enamel, the door is placed with white glazed windows, and the plain gauze steel mesh curtain is suspended inside. In front of the car, the rear of the car is equipped with two glass lights, and the cabin is triple shocked. The spokes are all cast in steel, which is strong and durable.

"The Son of Heaven drives six, the princes drive five, the Qing drives four, the doctor is three, the scholar is two, and the Shuren is one."

Nowadays, the horse and the car are the pension standard for the officials of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and they naturally have to sit open. The curtains on all sides can be compared to brocade clothes at night. No one can see how to reveal identity.

However, the benefits of an enclosed carriage are clear. Both for safety and privacy, it is higher than ordinary carriages.

Most importantly, just lower the curtains and no one will be able to peek inside the car. Riders don't need to worry about the grand etiquette. Count it all in one fell swoop.

You need to remove your shoes when you ride the car, and in ancient times, you had to take off your socks when you entered the house. In ancient times, there was a doctor who was almost cut off by the king by the king "socks and boarded the table". In the Han Dynasty, there was no need to remove socks, but it was still necessary to remove shoes. So the sword went to the palace and became the standard for the ministers, and the highest honor. The carriage is equipped with soft-soled green silk shoes for passengers to change into. Gilt incense balls are also a must-have.

In case someone is in the dust, it is too late to change the foot clothes, and even the smell is not beautiful.

In fact, this is not the case. Hair sprinkling is a daily must. Especially when women travel, they should be fully prepared and diligent in changing their socks. No odor. Wear shoes and get off the bus, enter the palace gate, wear the south hall, cross the green water, and climb the steps. The female official is well-mannered, and Liu Bei met Zhao E in the palace.

"Concubine, meet the king." Zhao E walked into the hall and knelt on the ground to salute. coincided with the court meeting, and the civil and military attended. Zhao E behaved calmly and was very groomed.

"Zhao, everyone is exempt." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to help: "Give a seat." ”

"Thank you." Because he is not an official of the thistle country, he sits on the side seat.

"This is the martyr Zhao E." Liu Bei introduced to the ministers.

"But Pang E, who has been sharpening his knife for ten years and avenging his father?" Wang Fu Huang Zhong said.

"Yes, yes." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Headed by Wang Fu Huang Zhong, hundreds of officials stood up and saluted. Zhao E also returned the salute solemnly.

"Lonely Zhao everyone, it is for the young girl's teacher." Liu Bei then told the truth.

"I see." Wang Fu Huang Zhong nodded happily: "It is a blessing for the country of Ji to be taught by the Zhao family. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal." Zhao E is also a hero. It is complementing each other with the ruffian spirit of the big man. Liu Bei invited her to be a female teacher, and no one objected.

This should worship Zhao E as a female teacher, and wait for the second daughter to come out of swaddling clothes, and then perform the ceremony of apprenticeship. There are no eunuchs in the country of Ji, and it has become a common practice to have more female officials. The officials didn't feel that it was wrong.

The female teacher is a palace official, and there is no need to go to court. After being sealed, Zhao E avoided entering the harem. When the dynasty is dispersed, the Zuo Guo Lingshi will arrange accommodation and other matters for him. In other words, the number of people in the palace is increasing, and the shortage of female officials is getting bigger. The commander of the left country wears many hats and is too hardworking. Asking Zhao E to travel thousands of miles to help, it is also out of love for Shiyi.

According to the practice of our dynasty, if you are over thirty-five years old, the female official has not yet married. The president will stay in the palace, and the nobles of the gardens are the only foreseeable destination. The mother had asked Shiyi, and if she didn't want to marry, she would stay with King Thistle, so that Mrs. Ru hired him. The scholar said differently, this matter will be discussed later.

Shi Yi is slightly larger than Liu Bei. There are still more than ten years to go before the upper limit of thirty-five. For a talented woman like Shiyi, being smart and comfortable can satisfy her more than becoming Mrs. Jiwang. At least for now.

Mostly, the Thistle King doesn't seem to care about age. It is far from the majesty of the Luoyang court, only a young girl between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. When Princess Thistle got married, there were nine out of thirty. The thistle king also cherishes it. This is also an important reason why Shiyi is reluctant to give up his official position prematurely.

As for the female scholar, the female imperial chief, the female history, and the female waiter's history, Liu Bei asked his mother to find them on his behalf.

There is no hurry.

Let's say that Yan Liang and his entourage crossed the south and Yishui, and rode north. On the way, it crosses several tributaries such as Zhongyishui, and finally arrives at Jintai at ten points at dusk.

"A water east out of the Jintaipi, six or seven miles from east to west, five miles from north to south, there is a fishing platform in the northwest of the side, only forty steps, more than ten steps from the north of the north to Jintai, eighty steps from east to west on the platform, the north and south are like a decrease. There is Xiaojintai in the north, and there is Lanmatai in Taipei, and Zhu (and) is several zhang high, and Xiuzhi is opposite. Left and right of the wing platform, the water flow path passes, the long and wide characters, the circumference is Pu, the building is blocked and salty, the pillar base still exists, it is its foundation, it can be obtained and visited. ”

The so-called Golden Terrace is a majestic building complex composed of Diaoyu Terrace, Small Golden Terrace, Ranma Terrace, Golden Terrace, etc., of different sizes, different heights, and high platforms. On the high platform, the pine and cypress, the heavy buildings are stacked, and the gold is brilliant. On both sides of the platform, the flowing water is murmuring, the clouds are steaming, the morning bell and the dusk drum are like a fairyland.

Yan Liang and the others got out of the car and looked up, each opening their mouths wide. In other words, these reckless men who lick blood with knives have never seen such magnificent buildings.

"Everyone, get on the bus, this is not a stopover." The coachman greeted him cheerfully.

"Can this cart be on board?" Yan Liang asked with his finger on the platform.

"There is Ranmatai in Taipei, which is the place to park." The coachman replied.

"Lan" through "bar". It means railing. "And the city of slaves and maids, with cattle and horses."

Ranmatai is the railing platform.

After crossing the bridge, the carriage turns north. Enter the back mountain gate and drive all the way up Lanmatai along Beipi Road. As soon as the carriage stopped, a small official in the hall stepped forward to greet him.

Looking up and seeing Yan Liang and other elders, the little official was startled at first, and then he was full of joy and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen all the heroes." ”

Yan Liang and the others clasped their fists and saluted, but they didn't know what to call them.

"Humble is the history of the Quartet Pavilion, please come with me."

"Xie Zuoshi." Yan Liang and the others went with the envoy. There is not one, but several. Each station is connected by a flying pavilion. Respective names: Guo Kuitai, Le Yitai, Zou Yantai, Juxin Tai, etc. All of them were built by King Yan Zhao for the world's talents who came to worship the officials. Nowadays, there are detached buildings. With the main hall on the golden platform, the height echoes, and the contrast is shining.

"Saying Yuan Jundao" contains: "King Yan said: 'The widow is willing to learn but has no teacher. Guo Kui said: "Wang Cheng wants to prosper, Kui, please open the way for the people of the world." So King Yan often sat on Guo Kui to the south. After living for three years, Su Zi (Su Qin) heard it and returned to Yan from Zhou; Zou Yan heard it, and returned to Yan from Qi; Le Yi heard it, from Zhao Guiyan, Qu Jing heard it, from Chu Guiyan, the four sons were all there, and the weak Yan and the strong Qi were. ”

The single-family building on Xiaojintai is divided into Guo Kui, Le Yi, Zou Yan, Ju Xin, Qu Jing, etc., and the selected heroes who are to be summoned by King Ji are placed among them. There are two categories: "scribe" and "samurai".

It is also subdivided into: "strategist", "warrior", "wrestler", "sharp", "skillful", "messenger", "knower", "doctor", "wise man", "debater", "chaser", etc., and so on.
