0013 Got it
Liu Pei rummaged carefully, and sure enough, he found a road guide. The guide is made of off-white mulberry paper, about a foot long and half a foot wide. At the top, write the name and place of origin of the holder. Then the following is a description of the physiognomy of the characters. It reads: "Six feet seven inches tall, slightly fat." Square face, white face, short beard. There is a red mole on the left earlobe. "It also has the seal of the local government and the signature and private seal of the person in charge.
Liu Pei looked at it and complained in his heart: "If it weren't for a red mole on the left earlobe, I would have been able to find hundreds of people on the street!" That's too lax! β
Liu Pei knew that the Ming Dynasty's road guide was written like this. Who dared to falsify when Ming Taizu implemented the road guide at the beginning? You must know that Zhu Taizu was ruthless and murderous at that time. Later, the discipline of the dynasty slowly deteriorated, and there were few people to inspect Lu Yin. Now it's just a habit to lead the way out of the door.
Under normal circumstances, those rich merchants, wealthy nobles, and scholars walk on the road, and no one will check their road guides at all. If you really want to check your guide, either you are suspicious of you, or you are trying to blackmail you!
Liu Pei put away the road, and the other things were reset, so he went out and closed the door, and then hung the deadbolt with a dagger. Liu Pei also pushed open a gap in the windows of each room to ventilate, so that the ether would disappear as soon as possible, so that they would not be able to get up tomorrow morning. As long as these people get up normally tomorrow morning, the situation of thieves in their yard will not be discovered early. By the time they found out that the guide was gone, it would be a few days later. At that time, maybe Liu Pei had returned to modern society!
Liu Pei went back to his room, packed up his things and lay on the bed and slept for a while, and the sky brightened. Liu Pei got up and stood in the courtyard to listen to the movement next door. The people next door had already gotten up, and Liu Pei heard the servants who were being directed by the male master to move things, and it seemed that they didn't find that the road was lost. By the time they found out, they were probably already in the next city.
Liu Pei'an was about to go back to the room, when he heard the guy knock on the door, and shouted, "Is the son up?" β
Liu Pei opened the door and saw that it was a guy who came to deliver breakfast and hot water. After washing up and eating, Liu Pei sat at the table and drank tea. After a while, the guy came in and packed his things.
Liu Pei said: "Let me ask you, are you familiar with the situation in Jinan City?" β
The guy smiled and said, "Back to the young man, the little one is very familiar!" The little one grew up in the city since he was a child, and there is no place in this city that the little one doesn't know! β
Liu Pei nodded and said, "I'm here to visit friends in Jinan." My friend's house is still there, so I need a supletter to come to the door. Therefore, I want to buy things like braille and jade. Do you have a good store to recommend? β
The guy thought for a moment and said, "Yes." If you want to buy it, you naturally have to buy it, so go to Mingxinzhai. If the dignitaries in this city want to have good calligraphy and paintings, they will go to Mingxinzhai to buy them. β
Liu Pei was happy when he heard this, so he directly threw a string of copper coins to the guy. Although the guy is exaggerating, he is a native of this place after all. The things in this city really can't be hidden from people like him.
In ancient times, there were people who said: car and ship shops can be killed if they are not guilty! The shop in this sentence is talking about a guy like him. Shopkeepers like him are often linked to the local snakes, doing bad things for profit. So what Liu Pei gave him was only copper coins, and he didn't dare to pretend to be a noble son with a small silver fish. that they may not be harmed.
When the guy received the reward, he naturally knew that Liu Pei had a request, so he said, "What does the prince command?" The small one will definitely be done properly for you! β
Liu Pei said: "It's nothing. It's just that I don't know the way, and the package is heavy, so you have to be idle for a while, just help me carry the burden and send me to Mingxinzhai. β
The guy has seen a lot in the city, but he has never seen a few such generous guests. After seeing each other twice in two days, I was rewarded with two strings of copper coins! And what Liu Pei asked him to do was also something he did on weekdays, so he immediately agreed and said, "Later, the little one will come to drink immediately!" After saying that, he took his things and ran away.
After Liu Pei waited for a while, the guy knocked on the door and came in, picked up his baggage and went out with Liu Pei. The guy led the way in front, and pointed to the anecdotes on the street, but he was not lonely along the way.
After walking about a dozen streets, the guy stopped. Then he pointed to the plaque above and said: "Son, Mingxinzhai has arrived!" β
Liu Pei looked up and saw that the face of the door was not very wide, but the materials were exquisite, but it was not as luxurious as other shops. It doesn't look like a shop, it looks like a school! There is an ebony plaque hanging above the door, with three big characters on it: Mingxinzhai!
Although Liu Pei doesn't know calligraphy, he also thinks that the dragon flying and phoenix dancing written in these three words are impressive! There are also couplets on both sides, and the upper couplets are: Why should the room be big. The next link is: the floral fragrance is not much. As can be seen from the font, the couplets and the words on the plaque were written by one person.
Liu Pei remembered the TV series she had watched, so she had the idea of pretending to be forced. So he clapped his hands and said, "Good union! Good word! "After saying that, I made up for it in my heart, and there should be a shopkeeper here to welcome me and treat me like a guest!
As soon as I thought of this, I only heard someone in the door say: "Gongzi Guo is an elegant person!" After saying that, a man in a long robe greeted him.
This startled Liu Pei. The guy next to him stepped forward and whispered, "This is the shopkeeper Wu here." β
The shopkeeper Wu's observation of words and expressions knew that Liu Pei was startled just now. He arched his hand and said, "It's just that I'm disturbing the son." β
Liu Pei is wearing a green shirt, which is a person's identity. Naturally, the identity of the white-bodied shopkeeper was much higher, and he didn't return the salute at the moment, just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking at the couplet for a while." β
Shopkeeper Wu said: "The son speaks a good official language. Let's invite Childe to serve tea inside. After saying that, he waved, and a guy came inside, took the package on the shoulder of the store guy and entered the store. Liu Pei followed the shopkeeper into the store.
Liu Pei's hometown is from Anhui. Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown is also from Anhui. Therefore, in the officialdom, Anhui Fengyang dialect is the official dialect. Of course, there is also another theory that the Ming Dynasty regarded the Nanjing accent as an official dialect. Therefore, Liu Pei deliberately spoke with the accent of his hometown, in order to confirm his identity.
Liu Pei followed the shopkeeper into the store. But I don't want this Mingxinzhai faΓ§ade is not big, but the area of the living room inside is really not small. And look at the furnishings inside are very elegant, if it weren't for the calligraphy, painting and porcelain, you almost can't really see that this is a shop. It seems that the guy said that there are many nobles, but it should be true.
