Chapter 1065 Arriving in Yangzhou
In mid-June, outside Yangzhou City, a team of more than 1,000 people walked on the official road and slowly moved towards Yangzhou City.
It's not hot in Guanzhong at this time, and it's even a little cool when the wind blows. But Jiangnan is more heheda. Temperatures in June are much warmer than in the hottest summer in Guanzhong.
Moreover, the humidity in the air in the south of the Yangtze River is high, and it is very stuffy, and it feels like the whole person is steamed on the steamer shelf, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
The soldiers couldn't stand the heat, their clothes were sparse and sparse, their bodies were already soaked with sweat, and the efficiency of the journey was not as good as before.
Yangzhou City was obviously in front of him, but he didn't reach it for half a day.
Fortunately, there was a river outside the city, and Chen Fei couldn't stand the heat, so he ordered the whole team to camp and rest by the river, and then dare to go to Yangzhou City when he recovered his spirits.
The soldiers immediately cheered, and after setting up the temporary camp, they rushed to the river and washed their faces happily.
Chen Fei led the three bear children upstream to suck the sweat off their bodies. And then...... He leaned against the shade of the tree and lay down his corpse......
A bear father, with three bear children, looks very loving.
"Daddy, Xian'er wants to eat watermelon and grapes." Xian'er pitifully grabbed Chen Fei's big hand, and as soon as she said it, Yu'er immediately clamored to eat watermelon, grapes and other fruits. Wen'er, who had just learned to speak, was also writhing restlessly in Chen Fei's arms. "Eat... Wen'er also wants to eat ......"
Chen Fei didn't think about it, he raised his hand and knocked on Yu'er's head: "What to eat, there are no grapes, the watermelon will not ripen for half a month, and I haven't eaten it now!" ”
Yu'er shouted unconvinced: "Dad, why did you beat me?" ”
"Because you're the loudest!" Chen Fei swallowed Yu'er silently with a word.
"That'...... Daddy, Xian'er wants to eat ice cream, can you make ice cream for Xian'er? "Xian'er once again used the invincible selling technique.
It's a pity that Chen Fei was unmoved, and even a little melancholy. "Ice cream...... Your dad wants to eat it too......"
Just when the four of them were staring at each other and had no choice but to have a hot weather, Sun Deyi trotted over, wiped his sweat and said, "My lord, Yangzhou Thorn Shi came to pick us up with officials." ”
The history of Yangzhou thorn? Chen Fei had no effect on this person, but since everyone came to greet him, he couldn't neglect the courtesy.
"Old Sun, let the brothers cheer up, don't make people look down on us."
Sun Deyi took the order to leave, Chen Fei took the three little ones to the two ladies, tidied up their appearance a little, and walked out of the temporary camp to see Yangzhou Assassin Shi.
Yangzhou Thorn Shi is also surnamed Yang, is a middle-aged man who looks very thin and thin, with a simple smile on his face, if he is not wearing a shabby and patched official uniform, I am afraid that this person will not be recognized as a state Thorn Shi. He looks no different from an ordinary old farmer. Seeing Chen Fei, this Yang Tingshi just stepped forward with a smile and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant.
Let's not talk about whether this person's behavior is as simple as it looks on the outside, but this attitude of getting along makes Chen Fei very comfortable - he doesn't like the kind of official who follows his ass all the way and slaps endlessly!
I met a few of them on the road, they really looked like stickworms, and they couldn't get rid of them!
Chen Fei chatted with Yang Tingshi for a few words, and then asked Yin Ping to straighten out the people and set off. It is only less than six miles away from Yangzhou City, and you can enter the city in less than half an hour after walking.
Yangzhou City gives Chen Fei the feeling that it is two words "atmosphere"! Of course, this atmosphere is really nothing compared to many small cities in the south, compared to Guanzhong.
Emperor Yang Sui of the previous dynasty dug through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, overdrew his national strength and killed himself, it is estimated that he would never have thought that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that wasted his own time now benefits the Tang Dynasty, if he knows the spring, it is estimated that he will die again in anger, right?
Yangzhou City is relying on the Grand Canal to develop the city, and on the north bank of the Yangtze River, shipping is very developed, goods often transit in Yangzhou City, or along the Grand Canal to the north and south, or along the Yangtze River straight to the inland, the traffic is very developed, but also makes its economic level ahead of many other cities in the south of the Yangtze River. In Jiangnan, it is definitely a land of abundance.
Chen Fei couldn't help but glance at Yang Tingshi, who could manage the city so well, this Yang Tingshi also had some skills, and he even saw the sign of Chen Ji's shop on the street.
It's just that when he stabbed Shi Fushang, Chen Fei was shocked!
Because of this Thorn Mansion...... It's too shabby, right? It looks like an old house from fifty or sixty years ago, but it hasn't been repaired much, and the outer walls are full of cracks, and it seems that the walls can be knocked down with a gentle push.
The houses in the house are also dilapidated, and the roof of the house is of different colors, and the roof has obviously been repaired several times. The courtyard is also small, and a few people feel crowded when they stand inside, and what makes people even more speechless is that there are not even many people in the Assassin's Mansion, only an elderly housekeeper leads them in.
"Lord Chen smiled, the Xiaguan house was dilapidated, and Lord Chen and Her Royal Highness the Princess rested here for a while, and we went to the Yamen for a while, where the bureaucrats in the city held a banquet to wash the dust for Lord Chen."
Chen Fei hurriedly thanked him, this Yang Thorn Shi Dao was really a good and honest official, which made him admire it very much.
Compared with Yang Tingshi, Chen Fei's mansion is ...... Forget it, it's not a rich or poor class at all, and it can't be compared. What's more, Chen Fei didn't make a fortune by corruption, so he didn't have to feel guilty.
Although Yang Tingshi's house is dilapidated, this kind of old house is often very shady, and it is not bad to rest here for an afternoon.
The four little guys (Yin Ping's children are also together) shouted dead and tired before entering the door, and as soon as they entered the door, they were immediately honest, and they quickly tilted their heads and fell asleep when they lay on the chair.
Yang Jianshi vacated two rooms for Chen Fei to rest temporarily, and they took a few little children into it to sleep. Chen Fei chatted with Yang Tingshi about some government affairs in the hall.
When it was almost evening, an official came to report and invited a few people to the dinner.
Although Linchuan is a princess, it is inconvenient to come forward with this kind of banquet, so she took the children to the post house, Chen Fei gave most of the guards to them, and he and Yin Ping took more than ten guards to the official yamen of Yangzhou Mansion.
Although I don't like this kind of socialization, I can't avoid it.
After a wine banquet, I don't know how many glasses of wine I drank, and I can't remember how many rounds he did, if it wasn't for the [Hangover Fruit], I'm afraid he would have been put down a long time ago.
With the smell of wine back to the post house and fell asleep, at noon the next day, Chen Fei set off and went to the destination of this trip - Jiangnan Shipyard!
