Chapter 195: Luo Yang Sees and Hears
Traveling by boat, in ancient times is the easiest way to hurry, compared to walking and horseback riding, not only fast, but also a lot more leisurely, from Chang'an City to Luoyang City, it takes half a month to walk, and it takes two days to ride a horse, when it gets dark, it is outside Luoyang City, quite a bit of Li Bai's 'thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day' rhythm.

When they arrived in Luoyang, Duan Jian's first destination on this trip was even if they arrived, the Cao boat they took was just a Cao boat leading from Luoyang to Chang'an City, and it would not go south to Hangzhou, besides, in addition to this, Duan Jian also had a purpose in Luoyang, that is, to go back to his hometown, Meng, Zhou is only dozens of miles away from Luoyang, although Duan Jian was brought to the Wang family by Wang Bingkun since he was a child for upbringing, but after all, his hometown is his hometown, and the custom of returning to the roots of Ye Luo, when and where it is difficult to change, if Duan Jian passes through the door this time and does not enter, Those who hate him don't know how to orchestrate gossip and slander him.
"It's getting late today, I'll wait here for a night's rest, and tomorrow I'll leave for Meng, Zhou, Buping, you are familiar with this Luoyang City, you can tell me what better inns and wine shops are." After stepping off the boat, Duan Jian said to everyone.
"Lang Jun, if you want to say the best wine shop, I really don't know the inn, but as long as we get to Luoyang South City, we are not afraid of not finding a good inn and wine shop, the last time I came to Luoyang, although the time was short, but I still saw the scenery of Luoyang South City, speaking of which, compared to Chang'an City's east and west cities, there are also more than that?" Hearing Duan Jian's question, Le Buping replied with a smile.
For the words of Le Buping, everyone was a little unbelieving at first, and even Duan Jian, a person of later generations, even if he had seen the prosperous scene of Luoyang City described in the history books, he still didn't believe it, after all, at this time, Chang'an City was the center of the whole world, and after the Sui and Tang dynasties, a hundred and ten years of accumulation, there was the momentum that overpowered the world, and Luoyang could be prosperous even if it was prosperous.
However, when they are really inferior to Luoyang South City, they completely believed in the words of Le Buping, as a huge city with the name of Chang'an City, Luoyang City is worthy of its name, in addition to being inferior to Chang'an City in terms of political status, it is more than enough in terms of economy and culture, from the road where you can see it, the students who wear Confucian clothes and wander around can see that Luoyang's literary style is victorious.
As for the economy, not to mention, as the transit station of the entire Grand Canal, here is not only the marketer of the rare specialties of various places in the land of China, but also the various specialties of the stick country, the country of Wa, and even the remote Fanbang in the southeast, can be found here, and it is no wonder that the later Wu Zetian will set the capital here.
"Stop, yes, yes, it's very meaningful, come and stop, it looks like we're going to stop here tonight." Seeing a rather spectacular inn with such a strange plaque as "Stop Home", Duan Jian suddenly decided that this place would be their stay tonight.
"Guest officer, how many of you are sharp-hitting or staying in the hotel, if you are sharp, we will stop at the residence and have their own good wine and good food, if you live in the hotel, there are just a few upper rooms for you to keep." Seeing Duan Jian and the others enter the door, a guy greeted him warmly, if it weren't for the wrong clothes and slogans, Duan Jian would have a feeling of staying in a hotel in the future.
"We are both sharp and staying, first have a few good dishes of good wine and food, and arrange a few rooms." Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need Duan Jian to come forward, Duan Shui threw a thin gold leaf into the guy's hand and ordered.
Looking at the gold leaf in his hand, the smile on the man's face became even brighter, and he hurriedly arranged it.
At this time, the sky is dark, although Luoyang City is not an important place such as Chang'an City, but it is also a giant city in the world, the curfew order is still quite strict, so the number of people in the whole inn is not much, that is, one or two tables of guests are leisurely drinking.
Just when Duan Jian and the others were waiting for the wine and food, they saw two figures, trembling and coming in from outside the inn, and after a closer look, it was an old man in rags, pulling a seven or eight-year-old child, holding a worn-out Xi Qin (that is, the erhu of later generations), after entering the door, he didn't speak, just sat in a corner, squeaky and pulled, to be honest, Xi Qin This kind of thing, unlike other musical instruments, can play cheerful music, which is why many young people in later generations don't like it, After all, anyone who hears that low, resentful tune can't be happy.
Seeing that he came to sing, Duan Jian didn't care, after all, in the later life, there are too many such people, of course, Duan Jian is more admirable for this kind of person, after all, the quality of people's pulling, they also rely on craftsmanship to eat, compared to those who deliberately pretend to be pitiful and pretend to be innocent, so as to win people's sympathy, the 'professional beggar' is much stronger, so, in the previous life, as long as he met this kind of person, more or less, Duan Jian would always give some money.
Duan Jian originally wanted to wait for the old man to finish a paragraph before giving him some money, but he didn't expect that after the old man pulled for a while, there was a table of guests who were drinking and were unwilling.
"Smack"
There was a sound, and among the three people who were drinking on a table, a man with a face full of meat and a fierce look, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and scolded loudly, "Nai's milk, you old immortal thing, so-and-so is drinking happily, but you come to spoil so-and-so's alcohol, babbling and pulling what kind of bullshit, I feel like a certain fuck out, otherwise, so-and-so will break your old bones, and still feed the dogs on the street." ā
The fierce tone of the strong man completely frightened the children around the old man, and when he saw him, he rushed behind the old man, trembling all over, and did not dare to show up.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, you better go back first, if there are no guests looking for it in the future, you still don't come again, the shopkeeper has already said me a few times for this, if there is a next time, I'm afraid my job will be difficult to protect." The second person who reacted to the strong man's angry rebuke was the guy, the guy and the old man may have known each other, although he was quite helpless, he could only comfort in a low voice, because Duan Jian was closer to them, so he could understand their conversation.
When the old man heard the man's words, he just sighed, and didn't say anything, while comforting the children behind him, he sorted out the Xi qin, it seemed that he wanted to leave, but Duan Jian saw that when the old man inadvertently looked at the dishes on the table of those diners, there was a few glimmers of light in his eyes, and then he quickly lowered his head.
