Chapter 36: A Thousand Years of Glory and Rain (Part II)
Yixing, a mountain city in the Northern Song Dynasty, lived under the tea mountain in Xinan, and then governed four towns and six townships, to the north for the plain, grain and trade, to the northeast for the Taihu Lake area, Xing fishery, and the west for the low-lying polder area, at this time has not yet been developed, only the tea forest in the south of the country is the most important economic pillar of Yixing at this time, and the tea merchants, magnetic merchants and potters gather here.
This laid the urban pattern of Yixing Sanshan, Ershui and Wufentian in later generations, the pottery industry here is developed because of the tea industry, and the purple clay pot is a special product in the later generations, which can be described as a supporting industry of the tea industry.
This place was originally famous for the tea industry, and it was not unusual for Yixing County to be close to the "Economic Industrial Park" at this time, but it was new to Su Yang'er, because no one in later generations knew what Yixing was like in the valley.
After the carriage entered the city, she ignored Xiaoling's foolish eyes, lifted a corner of the car curtain, and peeked out.
But there are few pedestrians along the street, think about it, it is winter, even in the south where the snow has not fallen, it is also the weather that can go out less and go out less, but there are many old farmers who carry pestles and hoes, and see a lot of small stalls marked with tea flags, which can be seen that the tea industry here is prosperous.
The few pedestrians on the road suddenly saw the Su family and his party rushing into the city, and they also looked sideways, thinking that this group of people was probably just passing by, and the people of Yixing also upheld a strong culture of squire autonomy with most of the people in most areas at this time.
The two are autonomous, and it should be known that the ancient yamen was a tiger, and if you are guilty or not, you will be punished, so when disputes arise, ordinary people are more inclined to seek "experienced elders" to judge, that is, the so-called gentry level.
From the streets of a megacity like Bianjing to the countryside, the gentry are everywhere.
This culture originated in the pre-Sui period, flourished in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
And she sold her property this time and moved south to return to her hometown, she herself seemed to be easy, but in fact, the old king behind her ran and broke her leg.
Before the move, Lao Wang not only recruited Cui Zheng and others as guards, but also went to Tangyin County to find Chen Zhi County to report for registration.
In addition, it is necessary to find these gentry whose functions are similar to those of "the director of the street office and the judge of the general court" to explain the situation.
This is why this old man is worried about Su Yang'er's willfulness all day long, and even wants to leave it alone.
But Su Yang'er doesn't understand this, in her opinion, it's just a move, and she just moves, and her thoughts are still stuck on the concept of going all over the world with an ID card, but her naivety and optimism won't last long.
Because she is always seeking independence, this independence comes at a cost.
When a woman was in the Song Dynasty, the probability of wanting to live a decent life without relying on men was infinitely close to zero.
Of course, at present, she still does not change, and she never sees herself as a real woman, looking around all the way.
It's a pity that between these patches of white walls and black tiles, I didn't see a single one with the door open, and it was still deserted.
At this time, Xiao Ling suddenly called out: "Little lady..."
Su Yang'er retracted her gaze when she heard the sound, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Ling swallowed: "Little lady, Ling'er is a little worried about Tang Yin..."
Hearing this, Su Yang'er's mood became a little complicated, whether it was Tangyin or Yixing, it was a strange place to her, and Tangyin County, she didn't have a glimpse of the whole picture until she left, let alone any feelings at all.
But Xiaoling is different, when Xiaoling was sold into Su Mansion, she grew up there, and she didn't say it early or late, but she didn't say it until she got here, it can be seen that she was also entangled for a long time before she dared to muster up the courage to express it.
I have to say that since Su Yang became a woman, she has become a little nuanced in terms of speculation.
At that moment, she took Xiao Ling's hand and took the opportunity to eat tofu and said, "Xiao Ling, didn't you say that you want to follow me all the time?" ”
Xiao Ling didn't speak, just nodded silently, she didn't have the right to choose, not to mention that her sweetheart also followed, what was she not satisfied with?
It's just that no matter how lowly people are, they also have hometowns and parents, although Xiaoling's parents have sold her ten years ago, but if they are still alive, they must still be living in Tangyin County, and Xiaoling also hopes that the money can let them live.
Moreover, if he moved to Yixing, which is thousands of miles away, he said that he was returning to his hometown, but only Uncle Wang really returned to his hometown in the entire Su family.
Even Su Yang'er was born and grew up in the Central Plains.
Yi Xiaoling was still a little worried and said, "Little lady, I'm afraid that people here are bad." ”
"Bad feelings?" Su Yang'er was stunned when she heard this, and thought: "No matter how bad it is, it can be worse than Lu Jingyuan's kid?" ”
At that moment, she smiled and said, "With me, no one dares to bully you." ”
Su Yang'er is full of confidence in herself, she doesn't have a big future, she died violently because of a lottery ticket in her previous life and didn't mention it, she finally crossed it once in this life, and she can only act as a passer-by who watches a play, and she will be scared when she sees a fake Yue Fei with the same name as Yue Fei, and she is still a daughter who can't write traditional Chinese characters.
But the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, and history will still be fair to many people, so she doesn't need to worry about the sky.
Besides, she didn't believe that she was hiding so far away, and there would be something more disgusting than Lu Jingyuan coming to her door.
While the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Lao Wang's voice came from outside: "Little lady, it's here." ”
"It's finally here!"
Su Yang'er was overjoyed when she heard the sound, and hurriedly took Xiaoling out of the car, but as soon as she got out of the car, the smile on her face gradually solidified.
Because she found herself in an alley, this alley was extremely narrow, and the cars of Yang Bao, Xiao Er and others could only wait in line at the entrance of the alley, and in front of her was a black gate, the black door had fallen off the paint, and even the buckle looked rusty, and an iron lock that also looked some years old was attached to the door.
"This is my ancestral home?"
Due to the height of the wall, Su Yang'er had no way of knowing what kind of world was behind this decaying gate.
But this narrow alley made her feel a little bad about it.
Seeing that Uncle Wang was slowly looking for a bunch of keys in his hand, Su Yang'er suddenly became a little anxious.
But when Lao Wang looked like he was about to find it, his movements suddenly stopped.
Seeing that he was suddenly motionless looking behind him, Su Yang'er couldn't help but be stunned.
But seeing Lao Wang's face with an unbelievable look, his lips trembled, and Su Yang'er, who was frightened by his appearance, became terrified.
"What's behind me?"
Su Yang'er was thinking about it, and when she wanted to turn back, Lao Wang suddenly shouted!
