Taihu Lake Basin, the water area is abundant, until now, fireworks in March, peach blossoms are delicate and paved all over the road, and the tender willow branches are green like waves.

There are many literati, artists, and aristocratic sons boating on Taihu Lake, in fact, among these people, there are also chains of comparison and contempt.

The literati with merit and fame look down on the literati who have no merit and fame, and the merchants as the bottom of the chain of contempt can only look down on the poor, but in fact, the literati are sour and rotten, and the businessmen are stinking These scolding words are all said by the poor.

Jiang Liusu stood by the lake, beside him were six little ladies who were like flowers and jade, and everyone passing by looked sideways.

In the distance, a Baogai carriage came slowly, Jiang Liu heard the sound of the carriage, and looked sideways, it was the person he was waiting for.

The coachman lifted the curtain, Sun Hongzheng was sitting in the middle, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Jiang, our family thought that we came early, but I never thought that you would come earlier." ”

Jiang Liushu replied with a smile: "How dare you let Lord Sun wait for the little brother?" ”

Sun Hong smiled and asked, "Where are we going to play today?" What's new? ”

Jiang Liusu smiled and said, "Lord Sun, can you please ask Lord Sun and the beauty to get out of the car?" ”

Sun Hong nodded slightly, and Ruan Xiangjun, who was beside Sun Hong, lowered his eyebrows and got out of the car.

Jiang Liusu and Ruan Xiangjun passed by, Ruan Xiangjun didn't raise his head, Jiang Liusu looked sideways slightly, looked at her, and was bored.

Jiang Liusu smiled slightly, arched his hand, and said, "Master Sun, I heard that the suburbs are beautiful, why don't we go to the countryside today?" ”

Sun Hong nodded and said, "That's a good idea." ”

Jiang Liuxuan grinned and said, "I have heard that the Jin people like to travel in ox carts, and the younger brother specially prepared an ox cart, Lord Sun invites." ”

Say the word "please", and a beautiful woman pulls out a cow from the side.

It is also interesting to talk about ox carts, which seem shabby to modern people, but in ancient times they were a very wide range of means of transportation.

In the Jin Dynasty, the scholars liked the soothing and steady of the ox, and the walk was more steady, and the scholars often set up a small shed on the ox, and could even lie on the ox cart.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, coupled with the southward movement of the territory, the fewer good horses, the riding atmosphere gradually died, and the scene of fresh clothes and angry horses passing through Chang'an could only stay in the red and purple Tang Dynasty after all.

Horses are rare, and horse-drawn carriages are always luxurious. In addition, in ancient times, there was a strict hierarchy, and not everyone could sit in a carriage.

In fact, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, the court nobles had already begun to travel by ox cart. Although horseback riding was prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, ox carts were also used. Sister Yang Guifei once "decorated a calf cart with gold and jade, and the cost of a cart is no less than hundreds of thousands" ("Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor"). The "calf cart" here is the ox cart, which shows that its status is not low.

In the Song Dynasty, from the palace women to the common people all took ox carts, the so-called "carved car Nanmo grinding incense dust", in front of the delicate and delicate carriage may not be a fluttering horse, more likely to be a slow response of the old cow.

Although the ox cart may not sound tall enough and the speed is slower than that of a horse-drawn cart, the oxen carry a larger load, and the carriage can be made wider and smoother, and it is more comfortable to sit on than a horse-drawn cart.

Meng Yuanlao recorded in the "Tokyo Menghualu": "The palace of the wife of the princess, through the car, such as the eaves of the sample system, can also accommodate six people, there are small hook rails before and after, the bottom of the shaft runs through two Zhu wheels, the front out of the long wheel, about seven or eight feet, a single ox to drive it, can also be rented off." Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, Bianjing Street came and went mostly with a single cow pulled by a van, which could accommodate six people and could be rented out, which can be regarded as the earliest "taxi" in China.

Jiang Liuxuan talked about the ox cart trip, and Sun Hong said secretly: The kid can play. I was very happy to get on the car, the ox cart was decorated with hook railings before and after, such a van car was really not magnificent.

Jiang Liusu smiled and said: "Lord Sun, have you ever heard that in the early Tang Dynasty, women had to carry a horse with a "羃?" ””

Sun Hong nodded with a smile and said, "It is similar to a veil, which is used to cover the face and prevent passers-by from prying eyes." However, since the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the atmosphere has become more open, and women often wear only hats to gallop on horses. During the Tianbao period, the favored Mrs. Qiu Guo did not add any crowns, and rode calmly to the spring. The horse shakes the golden bridle, the Luo Yi is shallow, and the brocade flowers of the forest are slowly walked, and I don't know what a bright and beautiful scene. ”

Jiang Liuxuan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean, hahahaha, Lord Sun knows how to be born in a late life!" ”

Sun Hong smiled and said: "You kid, you are worthy of being the son of Master Jiang, you really know how to have fun, and you live up to your reputation as a young man in fresh clothes." Say, what do you have to play? ”

Jiang Liuxuan smiled lowly, and said: "The six women brought by the late life today are all people who practice dancing, not to mention the soft body, and the appearance of the birth is also a closed moon and a shy flower, I specially let them wear gold threaded dresses on the boat, and hang gold ornaments and jade ornaments on their hands, ankles and waists, and even the gem on their heads is also custom-made, later, let them ride on the horse, and open the way for the two of us in front, let's also listen to the horse shake the golden bridle, see the shallow fragrance of Luo Yi, smell the fragrance of the March flowers, how about it?" ”

Sun Hong was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, haha, haha, haha, you kid!" All right! ”

On the streets of Cheung Chau County, six beautiful women dressed in luxurious clothes and precious stones, riding on horseback, marching leisurely.

The six women are each beautiful in their own way, delicate, feminine, bright, full of colors, jewels and jewels sparkling in the sun, fragrant clothes sweating, pink cheeks and snow appearance is lovely.

As the horses take the lead, the jade pendants strike each other, and the gold collides with each other to make a crisp or low sound, swaggering through the market like a music.

And Jiang Liusu and Sun Hong, sitting in the van of the ox cart, smiled and watched this fragrant and moving scene.

Sun Hong lowered the car curtain, hugged the beauty, smiled and kissed the beauty's cheeks, Jiang Liusu bowed his head slightly, a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Sun Hong casually pushed Ruan Xiangjun into Jiang Liu's arms. Ruan Xiangjun was slightly stunned, her body stiffened and she didn't know what to do. Jiang Liuxuan raised his hand and raised his eyes to look at Sun Hong.

Sun Hong smiled slightly: "What? Do you dislike this little girl's skin is not glamorous enough? As he spoke, he glanced at Ruan Xiangjun, as if looking at a rag, and said with disgust: "Speaking of which, this girl was originally a famous Oiran lady in Suzhou Mansion, but since she came to Changzhou, she has seen all the prosperous scenery, look at the beauties in front of her, and then look at her, it is really dull and tasteless." ”

Jiang Liuxuan subconsciously hugged Lou Ruan Xiangjun's waist, and said with a smile: "If Lord Sun doesn't dislike it, the younger brother will use these six beauties in exchange for your favor, I wonder if Lord Sun is willing to cut his love?" Hahaha! ”()
