Chapter 16: Crisis Strikes and Escapes from Lingzhen (II)

"Boss. The goods are all loaded, when will we depart? Xiao Er went upstairs and bent down to say.

"Okay, that's all I know, you're checking it out, and the coachman is ready. I'll come down in a moment and we'll go. After Miss Su finished speaking, she pulled the green hair on her sideburns and said, watching Xiao Er walk downstairs.

"Lin Gongzi, what are your plans to leave Lingzhen?" Miss Su, looking at Chen Yi and said gently, Chen Yi was seen by Miss Su like this, her face couldn't help but turn red, she had never been in love on the earth, and she was inexplicably taken to another world.

"I haven't thought about it yet, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I don't know if Miss Su has any good suggestions?"

Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh, hey! I don't know when I'll be able to see my cute and silly sister Xiaozhu again, and I don't know how she will live without my irresponsible brother?

"Why don't you follow me and go to the capital Chang'an? With your talent, are you afraid of running out of food in Chang'an? Su Gu pondered for a while and said.

"Chang'an? I still won't go, and after the Lingcheng, I plan to go to the Eastern Capital (Luoyang)."

Fortunately, after observing and understanding for 15 years, I know that the distribution of cities in this world is not much different from the distribution of cities in ancient China, otherwise I really don't know what to do with it.

Xiaozhu, you must wait for your brother, and you will never be separated from your brother in the future, but the world is unpredictable, who knows that when you say goodbye today, when he meets him, he will already be different.

On December 23, 56 years of the Great Yuan Dynasty, for the vast majority of people, this day is no different from usual, and people work at sunrise and rest every day as usual.

However, this day is as he wrote in his memoirs for Chen Yi. (I won't talk about these later words)

"Luoyang, then you remember to come to Chang'an, you must come to me in the world. Lin Gongzi and the others will be wronged by you mixed in the middle of the little two and walked out. ”

"There is no grievance or grievance, I know that I can go out smoothly, I am not a daughter, how can I be so hypocritical."

Looking at his familiar environment, he took a few glances in the room and went downstairs with Chen Yi.

Walk out of the clothing door, slowly pull the door open, and lock the door with a brass lock (oxtail lock, rectangular, with two tongue reeds to open or close (unlike the current marble lock. Locked up. Give the key to your retinue.

"Let's go." After Miss Su finished speaking, with the support of the maid, she walked into the sedan chair (the official sedan chair in the Great Yuan Dynasty is roughly divided into three colors: the golden sedan chair top, the bright yellow sedan chair is the emperor's sedan chair; The jujube red is a high-ranking official sitting in a sedan chair; Low-level officials, as well as those who have achieved fame, are in green sedan chairs. There are strict regulations for clansmen, courtiers, women and other dignitaries to ride in sedan chairs, and they are not allowed to exceed the system. Three grades or more and Beijing officials, the top of the sedan chair with silver, the sedan cover, the sedan cloth with soap, four sedan chair drivers in Beijing, eight sedan chair drivers when leaving Beijing; There are two sedan chairs for civil officials below the fourth grade, and the top of the sedan chair is made of tin. eight governors and governors of the province; four officials below the division, the provincial level, and the teaching level or above; Miscellaneous jobs on horseback. There are eight ministers with more than three sedan chairs. These sedan chair officials mainly refer to civil officials, and as for military positions, even if they are official to the first rank, they are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, and can only ride horses. Generals, admirals, commanders, and other generals who are over seventy years old and cannot ride horses must ask for permission in advance if they want to sit in a sedan chair. Ordinary officials who go out for a long distance will take another sleeping sedan chair, which will be used in a sedan chair that can be used as a bed. This kind of sedan chair is a bit larger than the ordinary sedan chair. When officials travel in sedan chairs, they also have to sound gongs to open the way, and there are strict regulations on the sound of gongs to open the road. The county travels and rings the gong seven times, which means "the military and civilians are all out of the way"; The prefect sounded the gong nine times when he traveled, which means "the officials, the soldiers, and the people are all out of the way"; When the first rank and the minister of the Qin mission traveled, the gong sounded eleven times, which means "the big and small officials, the military and the civilians, etc., all flash away". Civil sedans are generally divided into two types: self-provided sedans and business sedans. Self-provided sedan chairs mostly belong to the home of rich gentry, waiting for the lord, wife, and lady to travel at any time, and there are cool sedan chairs and warm sedan chairs for different seasons. The sedan chair is used in summer, the sedan body is small, the yarn is curtain, light and fast, ventilated and cool; The warm sedan car is used in winter, the sedan body is larger, the thick tweed is used as a curtain, the door curtain is hung in front, and the brazier is placed in the sedan car. There is also a kind of women's sedan chair dedicated to women, in addition, some brothels also have a sedan chair specially used for prostitutes to sit when they go out of the hall, generally a small sedan chair for two people, the decoration is gorgeous and gorgeous, very brisk, generally do not hang the sedan curtain, in order to attract prostitutes. In addition to these, in terms of the types of sedan chairs, there are also happy sedan chairs and soul sedan chairs, so I will not introduce them one by one. )

Looking up, Miss Su's palanquin pale purple bead curtain flowed down from the top of the orthopedic top, and the light cyan lines covered the entire orthopedic body. Pink curtains sway in the wind.

When the maid pulled up the sedan curtain, Chen Yi saw the interior of the sedan chair, which was exquisitely decorated, looking small and luxurious, beautiful and elegant.

Four sturdy sedan chair drivers, one in front of the other, one behind the left and one behind the sedan chair walked slowly, followed by several dart players in front and behind. Chen Yi mixed in the crowd and walked unhurriedly.

In this way, after walking for about a stick of incense, they came to the gate of the city, and not far away, they saw people pointing around the bulletin board, discussing something.

"Boss, look?" The maid pointed out the small window and said

Miss Su ordered someone to stop the sedan chair, and after a while, a maid in a red brocade dress walked out of the sedan chair.

Miss Su's maid came out of the sedan chair at this time, stood behind the crowd and looked secretly, and vaguely saw Chenyi's head painted on the report, but did not look carefully, thinking that it was for the notice of rewarding Chenyi's reward, the little heart fluttered and kept beating, hurriedly ran small steps, got into the sedan chair, and said to his boss:

"Boss, the bulletin has Lin Gongzi's portrait painted on it." The maid said in a panic and with a pale face.

"What's written under the notice?" Miss Su was calm and calm, and after thinking for a while, she whispered to the maid.

"Boss, I, I ran back in a hurry and didn't see clearly..., I'm running over to see it once?" The maid was going to pick up the sedan curtain and wanted to go and see it once.

Miss Su couldn't help but glance out, and just saw Chen Yi outside the curtain, and she had an idea.

"Xiaohong, you go and call Lin Gongzi and let him get on my sedan chair directly, and after you get off the sedan chair, you will follow next to the sedan chair."

"Yes, Miss. I see, it's ...... your reputation to spread like this," Xiaohong said weakly.

"It's okay, just say that I told him to have something important to discuss."

Xiaohong was about to walk out of the sedan chair, one foot had just stepped out of the sedan chair, and one foot was still in the sedan chair.

"Xiaohong, wait, you take this token with you, and when something happens, you will show the token." Xiaohong turned around and held the token in her hand, which was quite heavy. I didn't look closely, and I carried the token in my arms.

Xiaohong hurriedly walked out of the sedan chair, quietly came to Chen Yi's side, and whispered:

"Lin Gongzi, come with me, my boss invites you to discuss important matters"

Chen Yi followed behind the maid Xiaohong, and when he was about to approach the sedan chair, the maid on the side said:

"Lin Gongzi, I'll walk outside later, so I won't go in."

"Okay, thanks."

"Lin Gongzi, your bounty announcement has come out, and my maid Xiaohong didn't see the specific content clearly, but for the sake of insurance, from this point on, you still sit in my sedan chair first, and when you get out of the city gate, you are getting off the sedan chair." Speaking without hurry, from the tone of his voice, Chen Yi could understand that Miss Su didn't care too much about this matter, and felt fearless.

"I'm in trouble with you." Chen Yi was not polite, Chen Yi thought, compared to walking, how comfortable it is to sit in a sedan chair, so he sat opposite Miss Su, the distance between the two is only the size of a palm, Chen Yi can smell the faint fragrance of Miss Su.

"Xiaohong, let the coachman hurry." Miss Su lifted the sedan curtain and said to Xiaohong outside the sedan chair.

"Get up." With the sound of Xiaohong? A bang.

The convoy walked out in the direction of the city gate one after another, and walked about a cup of tea, and the people who had approached the city gate were inspected by the guards when they left the city gate.

"The convoy ahead, stop for inspection." The two soldiers said to Chen Yi's convoy with knives in their right hands. Both the carriage and the sedan chair stopped

"Let the people in the sedan chair also come out and be checked."

"Boss, what are we going to do?" Xiaohong said anxiously, she was afraid that if Chen Yi was recognized, what would she do.

"It's okay, I'll deal with them, you let them come."

Two soldiers walked to the sedan chair, and one of the recruits opened the sedan curtain to find out.

"Presumptuous, my boss's sedan chair, is it something you can see if you want to?" Xiaohong said viciously

"I'm the boss of the world, all we pull on the car are fabrics and clothes, there are absolutely no other items, you can open it to check, the sedan chair is just me, but you are sure to open the sedan curtain to check it."

A soldier next to him whispered to the new soldier: "We can't afford to mess with the clothes in the world, the backstage of the people is in Beijing, let's not touch this mold, let them go quickly." ”

"How dare we check, you must have heard it wrong. Release. And so the convoy walked out of the city gate one after another.
