Chapter 165 Hillbilly Enters the City
It was getting a little dark, and those who did not live in the city had to pack up their things and leave the city early, and those who were busy outside the city had to hurry back to the city, and if it was too late, they would be locked up outside the city.
So at this stall, a cup of tea Kung Fu city gate hole in and out of the round, crowded with no less than 100 people, riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair cart to carry the burden of empty-handed blocking the city gate hole tightly, the border people are more gentle, see the road blocked open mouth and said: "Straight thief, can't you see people?" Make way for grandpa! ”
The opposite person said: "Cub, who is the grandfather for you!" It's itchy isn't it! ”
Seeing that the powder keg was about to explode, the leader of the team guarding the city gate had to send two of his men over to direct the channel, and the whip went down, and the crowd continued to circulate.
Since the 100 people in Youchuan County arrived at the city gate, they were commanded by a guard to stand in a spacious place, and asked the leader Wang Chengju with the registration book, and then they put everyone aside and stopped asking.
In order not to fall into the prestige of Youchuan County, Liu Sanlang spoke to straighten his waist, and a group of people had to poke there in a daze.
I was waiting somewhere in a hurry, there was a shout in front and a gong in the back.
A group of people looked at the front first, and saw a little priest in a green official robe beckoning to the leader Wang Chengju, "That group of soldiers, come over and enter the city!" ”
Everyone looked at the back, more than 200 people and horses escorted more than 50 carts, surrounded by a pole of "Jiangyou County Military Solution" from afar, and the leader was a military man dressed as a head.
Originally, Wang Chengju raised his hand to enter the city, but when he saw the team behind, he withdrew his hand.
When their group arrived, they arched their hands and said, "Sun Dutou, please first!" ”
Sun Dutou replied with a salute: "Then a certain family will go first, and when you settle down, these mud-legged brothers will look for you to eat and drink!" ”
Wang Chengju laughed and arched his hand and said: "It's easy to say, brother is with you at any time!" ”
You see how admirable the humility and politeness of the Chinese people are.
The scene of this group of people is more spectacular than the tossing of their own team.
Thirty soldiers, twenty servants, and the rest are more than one hundred and sixty people, well, looking at the team, it is much more miserable than his own group, all of them are looking ahead in horror, and there are more than a dozen people wearing wooden shackles in the team, presumably running away on the road, looking from a distance, like prisoners more like Ding servants.
When a group of people were escorted into the city by the military men, everyone waited quietly on the side.
The dog was bored and looked at the pedestrians on the road, and found a phenomenon that there were far more people out of the city than people entering the city, and I don't know why.
After waiting for a full cup of tea, the priest just now ran over again, still standing at the entrance of the city gate and waving to everyone, Wang Chengju waved his hand to answer him, and then raised his hand with a horsewhip, and pulled the caravan steward who was about to enter the city to the ground.
"Are the eyeballs out of breath? Didn't see the grandpas going into town? A lot of people who are old and don't have the eyesight to be humble to each other, get out! ”
The steward lying on the ground hurriedly got up and said, "The old man has no eyes, grandpa, you are first!" ”
In this way, the people, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, were respectfully courteously allowed to enter the gate.
Longzhou City deserves to be a state city, not only the city is much larger than Youchuan County, but the prosperity of this is far beyond the reach of Youchuan County.
Out of the city gate hole, you can see a stone road that can hold three carriages side by side straight to the city, the houses on the left and right sides are lined up one after another, the wine shop, the tea shop, the theater room, the butcher shop, the vegetable shop, the rice grain shop are crowded into a pile, the temple and the public school building are separated by dozens of steps, there is one, as for the foot shop and inn for the guests to rest and settle down, there are no less than 20 houses, and then turn your head to look in the distance, the pharmacy, the clinic, the bathing soup room, the people are crowded and the people are full of people.
Although it was approaching dusk, there was no shortage of hawkers carrying burdens and carts walking through the streets and alleys shouting and doing business.
Standing in the Cailou Huanmen, or the small housekeeper, bartender, and shopkeeper next to the flagpole of the city's Zhaocai, one by one, shouting and shouting to solicit business, this point is the time when the official office is on duty, and the husband finishes work, the official on horseback bows his head and ponders, the beautiful little lady secretly looks at him, the hard-working and virtuous woman carries the vegetable basket and bargains with the vegetable seller, the monk who turns into a fate, the trickster, and the idler who comes out of the gambling house after losing the money, and pours into the market together, and for a time the river is endless!
In such a lively scene, the group of dogs is like a hillbilly entering a big city, one by one, dizzying, dazzling, and what they hear, see, and smell keeps refreshing everyone's cognition.
Bang, with a sound, Wang Chengju, who rarely got angry and pumped people along the way, held a horsewhip and whipped it.
"Look at what you look like, crowded at the door of people's green buildings one by one, it's not a shame to see the drool, get out of the way for grandpa!"
The dog wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said to Tang Xiaoqi behind him: "The rice cake in the little lady's hand looks delicious!" ”
Tang Xiaoqi next to him sucked his saliva and said, "Yes, it's very white!" ”
The dog frowned and said, "The rice cake is obviously yellow!" ”
Tang Xiaoer next to him said: "No, it's red, I just saw it when she bent over!" ”
"What you said is not right" Tang Laosan in the back said with a scheming look: "It's obviously white!" ”
The four of them were right, so they had to prepare to study it again, and shouted in front: "The one in the back can't go, be careful grandpa will whip you in the past!" ”
This Longzhou City is really lively, the dog entered such a big city for the first time in his life, along the way to look east and west and not even care about the road under his feet, even after falling two heels, began to rush seriously, no way, the school field arrived.
After passing a row of large willow trees, you can see two watchtowers up to five meters high, where is the destination of this trip "Longzhou School Military Field Camp", referred to as "Longzhou Camp".
It is built in the north of Longcheng City, occupies a large area, as for the east of the city, it is the location of the Longzhou Prefecture Ya, and Youchuan City, most of the rich Shishen people live in the East City, the South City is mostly some laborers and some small merchants and hawkers, the West City is where the Longzhou County Ya is located, there should be a site here, like the Confucius Temple, the Land Temple, and Youchuan is different, there is also a large area of tribute courtyard here.
Gongyuan, the place of the imperial examination, the dojo of Emperor Wenchang, ghosts are afraid of people, let alone people!
The north of the Gongyuan and the west of Daying is Longzhou County School, and the east of Daying and the middle of Longzhou Prefecture are the corresponding state schools, and the people who can enter the state are all talented scholars selected from various counties, and they are all educated and public after one or two examinations, so it can be said that the people in this are already considered to be "Tongjinshi" origins.
The arm-thick hardwood camp was extremely strong, and when you look at it through the hazy night, there is a sense of slaughter, but when you listen to it, it seems to be empty.
As the so-called iron-clad battalion of flowing soldiers, this battalion has long been empty, except for a left-behind Tishi, with twenty or thirty soldiers guarding the battalion, the battalion soldiers and the commander of the battalion have long been transferred to the front line.
When the group arrived at Dayingkou, Zhao Tizhi of the camp happily welcomed everyone.
Wang Chengju led the officials from Youchuan to meet him, and then received the receipt in his hand, and the arch handed a horsewhip and broke away, and the person disappeared.
The dog stood behind Liu Sanlang, secretly looked at Zhao Tiha, and saw that he was holding a short beard and glanced at everyone: "Okay, your team is in good spirits!" Come, get your sign first! ”
With a wave of his hand, the two soldiers behind him held a bundle of finger-wide bamboo boards and handed them to everyone, and the dog also received one.
Zhao Tizhi saw that everyone received one, coughed and said: "There will be a book office for you to register and make a book in a while, the brand is a certificate for entering and leaving the camp, if you lose it, ten strokes of the military stick, and when the book is completed, everyone will follow the military man who led the way to put the military funds into the warehouse first, and then settle in the barracks, ten people in a room, form a gang by yourself, clean up and stop, everyone will go out of the house to gather, and there will be soldiers to take you to the room to eat." ”
"During the meal, each group is not allowed to make noise at one table, and after eating, go back to the barracks to sleep, and do not leave the house at night without reason! Those who violate this order will have ten strokes of the military stick, and those who will and pee to go to the thatched house in the corner of the camp, and those who dare to relieve the spoilage will have ten strokes of the military stick! This is the case tonight, gather at every hour tomorrow to eat morning food, those who miss it are not allowed to eat again, and other things will be talked about tomorrow! ”
By the time he had finished the call, it was already completely dark, and the sergeants who accompanied him had lit torches and braziers.
"Ahem, you guys still have questions!"
There was a lot of rambling, and everyone was looking forward to his end, and he was about to fall apart after a day of walking, and he just wanted to settle down early, so he shook his head in unison.
"Okay, since there is no problem, let's start registering!"
Zhao Tihe seems to be a good official, and he doesn't go back to rest so late, standing aside with his hands behind his back and watching everyone register, and sometimes asking a few words with a smile, which is very close to the people.
Liu Sanlang was in first place.
"Your name is Liu Sanlang?" When Zhao Tishe saw the registration information, he asked.
Liu Sanlang arched his hand and said: "Yes, the lowly position is Liu Sanlang!" ”
Zhao Tihe smiled and said, "Who are you the county lieutenant of Youchuan?" ”
Liu Sanlang was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw him smiling, so he replied respectfully: "It's my uncle!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Tizhi smiled happily at him for a while, and after laughing, he patted Liu Sanlang on the shoulder and said: "You are a descendant, I said how to look familiar, have you forgotten, when your uncle came to the state to report on his work last year, I also had a glass of wine with you at the reception banquet!" ”
Liu Sanlang was overjoyed, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said: "It's the kid's sin, I didn't recognize my uncle for a while, the kid will make amends to you!" ”
Zhao Tihe smiled and helped him up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, after all, it's too long, by the way, why is it you who led the team this time?" ”
Liu Sanlang smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention uncle, the kid accidentally angered Li to join the army, so he had to personally name him and let him come to the state to see him when he was escorted to Ding Shi!" ”
Zhao Tihe was taken aback, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "What did you do to annoy him!" ”
Liu Sanlang told him that he had made a few poems that mocked him as a cool official.
Zhao Tihe thought for a while and said: "If it's just this, you don't have to worry, it's a big deal that he will make a few poems and then regain face!" You will not be persecuted. ”
Liu Sanlang hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
