Chapter 17: The Family
Quanzhou in the Sui Dynasty, that is, Fuzhou in later generations, arrived by high-speed rail for a few hours in later generations, but at this time, Jiang Kun had to sit on an ox cart and creak all day, because there was no serious road, and his butt hurt by the bumps of the mountain road.
This ox cart is still borrowed by the Wu family, and the main purpose is to pull goods instead of pulling him, a total of seven were borrowed, and more than 20 of them had to change seats, but those men were sincere in their hearts and said that they would not let him come down, which saved him a lot of suffering.
But there is no way, this is already the closest city to Wusheng County in addition to Hangzhou, and it can even be said that this is the only decent city in the southeast of the Great Sui Dynasty at this time, Hangzhou is building a canal, and it is too early for them to have the central and local forces staggered, so they can only develop to the southeast.
However, it is precisely because of this, Quanzhou City is not how desolate, although it is not like the northern city is divided into square squares, but it is barely lively, restaurants, warehouses, docks, markets, and even all the gentlemen, he has everything that should be in ancient big cities, including garrisons, merchants from the south and from the north gathered, Han people and barbarians coexist in harmony (North Hu Nanban), it is not an exaggeration to say that with Jiang Kun's vision and ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is full of gold.
However, in the same way, there is still a stubborn disease that most southern cities have: the gate valve of the scholar clan!
Before entering the city, Jiang Kun opened his eyes, they were the place where the sun was about to set, they lined up honestly and honestly, and specially prepared copper coins to pay the city tax, and they were even ready to be slaughtered by the city gate officials and let some blood go.
But who knew that it was their turn, but the doorman who collected the money and inspected the goods at the door suddenly stopped, and immediately seven or eight soldiers stepped forward and violently pushed them, making him look confused, and he did not know what was going on.
"The road is clear, the road is clear, hurry up, don't get in the way of the nobles."
"Clear the road?"
Jiang Kun was puzzled, but those doormen and soldiers no longer talked to him, and the movements of their hands became more and more rough, and a pair of big black hands directly clamped his squeaky nest, so as to hang him up, but Jiang Kun could see that they were not deliberately bullying, but seemed to be really urgent.
Although I was a little worried that I would not be able to enter the city before the dusk drum if I was delayed, there was nothing I could do about it after all, so Jiang Kun tried his best to cooperate, and was soon driven out of the official road.
In addition to them and other Han merchants, there were also barbarians who came to exchange things on the official road, and for a while they all scolded and spoke in the local language, and they couldn't understand what was being said, and the soldiers simply didn't hear it. Jiang Kun also felt unhappy, such a wide road is not enough for you to walk? Do you need to throw everyone into the mud? What a big leader is this, and it's such a big spectrum?
Soon, Jiang Kun saw that it was really not enough.
In a matter of moments, there were sixteen women who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing the same pale pink skirts, wearing clothes embroidered with flowers, and each of them had a large porcelain vase, which contained water with floating petals, and sprinkled water with slender jade hands as they walked, and then sixteen older women, who looked to be about thirty, cleaned along the street with a strange-looking broom, and the movements were very quick, and after a while, they walked in front of their eyes and cleaned the ground clean.
After a while, a group of majestic armor soldiers crossed the sword, their trousers were all tightly tied, each with a six-petal hammer hanging on the left side of their waist, and a crossbow on their shoulders, looking like they were about 1.8 meters tall on average, tall and mighty.
"This adult in Quanzhou is so powerful, he went out to make such a big show."
There was a local businessman who was also in the mud next to him, and he couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "Where is the local adult, this is the female travel of the Lin family, it should be to go to the Jing'an Temple outside the city to burn incense and petition, when I came, I heard that the Jing'an Temple has been arranged." ”
This time, Jiang Kun was stunned: "Lin ...... The daughter of the Lin family? ”
Such a big pomp is actually just a second-rate southeast gate valve? What a special daughter?
Sure enough, on the car behind the sergeant, the warblers and Yanyan were all women, and they could smell the fragrant wind coming from afar, these women were either holding the pipa, or holding the clay pot, or holding the drum, as if they were a large band, and then on top of the carts, there were all kinds of goods as high as the mountain, and there was a mess of everything, and there was only a large bronze mirror placed on the cart with two oxen, which clearly reflected Jiang Kun's shocked face when passing by.
"Noble people go ~ idlers avoid ~!"
After the convoy walked for a long time, Jiang Kun finally saw the owner of the convoy, which was a group of graceful and luxurious women, dressed in beautiful clothes, each sitting on a cart pulled by two oxen, and a maid holding a big umbrella behind him.
Jiang Kun looked at it blankly, but saw two armored warriors with swords suddenly walking in this direction, and shouted: "What kind of person dares to be disrespectful to nobles!" ”
Jiang Kun was stunned, and hurriedly looked left and right, and found that among all the people on both sides, only one of them was staring directly at the convoy, and the others, including the barbarian, were all unconsciously looking down at their toes.
Looking at the two fierce and vicious goods, Jiang Kun couldn't cry or laugh, what are you worried about in the ancient version?
Seeing this, everyone in Knock Sugar Village hurriedly took a mess of things such as flat poles, scales, and firewood knives to block the front, looking extremely firm, but Jiang Kun looked from behind, their legs seemed to be shaking.
Jiang Kun went up and stretched out his hand to pull it away: "Get out of the way!" He didn't look at the two people with knives, but bowed slightly to the woman in the car and said, "Wu of Wushu County, I've seen a nobleman." ”
"Oh? Are you from the Wu family? The woman in the car said lightly.
"Exactly."
The nobleman in the car squinted slightly, and saw that Jiang Kun's trousers were covered with mud, so he couldn't help but feel a little contemptible, and said: "Quanzhou City is not as good as the countryside, so it's better to know more rules." ”
Jiang Kun was a little unhappy when he heard this, but after all, he was not the first iron, and said, "Thank you for your teachings." ”
"Let's go."
As he spoke, the noble man waved his hand slightly, and the convoy continued to move forward, except for the two warriors with swords who glared at Jiang Kun with slight dissatisfaction for a while, no one looked at him more.
When the person left, Su Goudan hurriedly held his hand, and his hand was cold and cold: "Brother Kun, I'm scared to death, is this the family?" ”
"Hehe, there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are overlords, and the real top families will never dare to put on such a show."
As he spoke, Jiang Kun smiled and took out a knife, gently hung the yellow mud on his trouser legs with the back of the knife, and looked at the distant convoy thoughtfully, his two black eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
