The wax moon of the sixth year of Wanli seems to be no different from previous years, the same ice and snow, the same cold wind.

People are just as busy for the coming New Year. Men are struggling to make ends meet, and women are busy working for the coming New Year.

But this month, everything seems to have changed a little from the past.

The weather has been cold for the past few days, and the snow on the ground has to be covered with snow, and the large dark clouds blowing from the north have caused snow to fall in the sky, and this snow has been falling all night.

But even so, several people were still waiting for something on the side of the road, and even looked over there anxiously.

"Liu Zi, are you waiting for the bus here?"

"Well, I just don't know if there's a place in the car......"

The people on the side of the road shrunk down and talked, the weather was terrible cold, although they were frozen and stiff, but they still had to beg for a living.

"Hey, there must be a place, otherwise it won't take half an hour to walk to Renshoufang......"

"It's such a cold day, I'm freezing to death......"

As they spoke, large snowflakes fell to the ground, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be covered with a thin veil, so that people could only hear the rustling sound of the snowflakes falling, and the distant scene could not be seen clearly at all.

It was at this moment that they heard a bell in the distance, the brass bell of the carriage.

"Here comes the car......"

In the shouts of passers-by, a six-pull carriage came towards this side, the speed of the carriage was not fast, that is, small steps were fast, the carriage of the carriage fell a layer of snow, the master of the carriage pulled the reins in his hand, and the sheepskin coat on his body fell a thick layer of snow, looking pitiful.

"Ouch, is there still a room in Master Fang's car?"

"The space is gone, if you take the car, you have to stand up and squeeze."

After a few people on the side of the road got into the car, the carriage continued to move forward, and the master who drove the carriage was not in a hurry to urge the horse, but the speed was only slightly faster than usual.

After running forward for a while, someone on the side of the road reached out to stop the car, but the master who drove the car waved his hand directly and said.

"I'm sorry, the car is full, you can wait for the next bus."

The passers-by on the side of the road, covered in snow and like snowmen, all looked annoyed.

"It's full again, and I know that there must be no place in the car when it snows."

"It's not, it's a matter of two pennies in a car, it's cold, who wants to brave the wind and snow to suffer that crime......"

"Come on, wait for the next ride,"

The snow in the sky almost made them snowmen, and the guys in the restaurant on the road looked at them and said to them.

"Why don't you go to the store to rest for a while, at least you can hide from the snow, it is estimated that the next trip will take a while, just drink a bowl of tea to warm up."

These people hadn't thought of this before, and after being reminded by the guys, they hurriedly walked to the teahouse.

There were not many guests in the teahouse, and one of them, an old man who looked like he was fifty years old, saw these people coming in, so he asked casually.

"What carriage are you all waiting in there?"

"Can you wait, it's freezing."

"That's it, on such a cold day, let alone freezing people, even if you fall on your heels, it will hurt for a long time, so is it comfortable to take a car?"

"Anyone can sit in that car?"

The old man asked, a little puzzled.

"Yes, just two pennies."

"Two pennies, it's really not expensive, I look at the car is not small, but the ground is frozen, can you sit up and toss and turn comfortably?"

"Hey, why don't you go sit down and find out?"

Although looking at this fifty-year-old man, he didn't look like a mortal, and the two entourages next to him also looked capable, but the people in the capital, what kind of big people had never seen it, and there was naturally a little less respect in his tone.

"That's it, this carriage, after all, you still have to sit in it yourself to know how comfortable it is."

"That's right, I'm going to have to go for a ride at that time."

The old man laughed.

Almost half a pillar of incense passed, and the guy at the door who had retracted his hand into his sleeve listened to the bell and hurriedly said.

"Guys, here's the carriage."

As he spoke, he did not forget to reach out to stop the carriage, and not only did the previous ones come out, but the old man also got into the carriage.

After stepping on the ladder and getting into the carriage, by the dim light, you can see that there is a long wooden bench on the left and right sides of the carriage, and sit down in the remaining few seats, and the guests in the carriage are men and women, old and young, more than a dozen people are crowded in this carriage.

"If you don't say anything, you have to have more than a thousand catties."

As the old man was talking to himself, the carriage moved.

Because of the snow and ice on the ground, the carriage could only walk slowly, slowly, and the whole carriage swayed slightly from time to time, which was very different from the bumps used to it, although the carriage swayed, but it sat very steadily.

"Master, this car is a bit of a doorway."

The man next to the old man was surprised.

"It's a bit of a doorway, indeed."

The old man nodded, of course he sensed the extraordinaryness of the carriage.

Sitting in the car like this, listening to the occasional sound of the whip outside the carriage and the shouting of the coachman, the old man seemed to be thinking about something.

Finally, after sitting at the bottom of the station, the old man who got out of the carriage looked at the "shortcut public carriage" written on the body of the carriage, and asked the coachman.

"Where's this dealership?"

"To the west of Zuo'anmen, you can look at it when you get there. If you always want to go, first take the third bus to Chongwenmen, then turn to the 11th road from there, go to Guangning Gate, and then take the ninth road, to the end is Zuo'anmen, get off the car and you can see the car line. ”

The old man seemed to be quite interested in the three and eleventh roads in the coachman's mouth, and he deliberately experienced these public carriages, and sighed at the convenience of the carriages from time to time along the way.

"I really don't know, who came up with such a method, not to mention anything else, just this carriage, I don't know how many people in Beijing have been convenient."

Sitting in the carriage, because there were not many people going to Zuo'anmen Street, there were only a few or two entourages around the old man in the car, and the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Have you two noticed that the wheels of this carriage seem to be a little strange except for the carriage, I deliberately followed the carriage for a while just now, not to mention that the wheels are slender and move extremely dexterously."

"The master looked carefully, but I really didn't see it."

The other said casually.

"Master, when you get to the carriage and horse shop, let them drive a car over, and then take a good look at what is strange about this car."

The man seemed to be a follower, but he spoke in a tone that seemed to him to be not worth mentioning at all.

On the contrary, the old man smiled casually after listening to it.

"You have to change your temperament, since this carriage and horse shop can do such a big business in the capital, it must not be driven by ordinary people......"

"It's not an ordinary person, what kind of big man can't be?"

Whether it was a big man or not, the three masters and servants didn't know, but after getting out of the car, the old man stood in front of the car dealership, looked at the signboard of the car dealership, thought for a while, and then instructed his entourage.

"Pengju, you go and inquire, who drives this carriage and horse shop? Be polite. ”
