took Ling'er and came to Dashiba Street outside, but saw a tall turtle slave coming from behind, and couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing with it, get out of the way for Lao Tzu." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The turtle slave was stunned by the scolding, and said angrily: "It's okay if you don't follow, let Ling'er go back to the yard with me." ”

A brothel turtle slave dared to argue with him like this, Sun Yueling was angry and was about to scold, but Ling'er pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Childe, this is the rule, if you go out, there must be a guard to follow." ”

Turning his head to the turtle slave, he said, "Brother Xiaolinzi, I'm sorry for your trip." ”

When Sun Yueling heard this, he took a breath and said to the little forest: "Stay away from us, don't get too close." I only heard Xiao Lin snort in a low voice, very dissatisfied.

Come to Nanjing these days, Sun Yueling has roughly understood the layout of the whole city, Nanjing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty Jingshi Beijing, it is also the location of the South Zhili, as early as the Hongwu period has been greatly repaired and expanded, the city covers an extremely wide area, east to the Temple of Heaven, west to the stone city, north to Xuanwu Lake, south to Jubao Mountain, a total of three major cities are composed together, is the imperial city, the garrison city and the old city.

The imperial city is in the east, the old city is in the west, the garrison city is located in the northwest of the old city, the brick and stone city wall built around the three cities in the early Ming Dynasty is more than 80 miles long, and the city gate is set up thirteen in total.

It is the capital of Beijing, and the city of Nanjing is like the example of Beijing, and the imperial court institutions such as the six departments and temples in the imperial city are readily available, except for the military department, which is in charge of the southern soldiers, horses, money, and grain, and holds real power, the other departments are only fictitious, and they are the places where the court is not reused or deposed by those who are derogatory.

And the north of the city they are going to this time belongs to the range of private courtyards in the old city, and beyond Hongwu Street is the small school field of Nanjing Guozijian and martial arts competition.

From the big stone dam street on the bank of the Qinhuai River to the long street of the estimation workshop in the north of the city, it is not a short distance, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour to ride a horse, counting the back and forth and worship, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with the evening flower viewing meeting.

Sun Yueling wondered in his heart, how could he go to the old mansion in the north of the city to pay tribute, there are all private residences of the official eunuchs, could it be that Ling'er's father was an official master during his lifetime? After being in contact with her for the past few days, I didn't ask her about her family history.

He hired a carriage, and helped Ling'er buy some incense baskets, jade silks, paper ties, etc., and sat in the carriage with Ling'er, and let Xiaolin sit on the carriage with the cart man and go to the north of the city.

On the way, he asked about Ling'er's life experience, Ling'er's eyes were red, and she actually shed tears, saying that she was a woman from a big family more than ten years ago, and her father was still an official in the court.

Sun Yueling listened, and sighed even more, no wonder Ling'er has the demeanor of everyone's ladies in her gestures, it turned out that she was the daughter of a big family, and she was in the Qinglou at a young age, which is really miserable and embarrassing.

After about half an hour, I finally came to the long street of the north of the city, only to see that the streets on both sides were full of the residences and mansions of some businessmen and celebrities, and after a while, the carriage turned left into a horizontal alley, and there were more old houses and old courtyards on both sides, and then a little further, and then turned into an alley, and the weeds on both sides of the stone-paved road in the alley were grown, and it was obviously inaccessible.

Coming to the innermost dilapidated door number, Ling'er commanded the carriage to stop, and said quietly: "This is it." ”

The three of them got out of the carriage and came to the door number. Ling'er stretched out her hand and gently pushed the wooden door, rattling, and the dust fell, obviously not pushed for a long time.

After the wooden door was opened, the three of them walked in, only to see that there was a small patio in front of the house, surrounded by all kinds of wild flowers and weeds, and some rattans had climbed to the roof, and no one had been here for many years.

Ling'er looked around and stayed there, as if she was stupid. Xiao Linzi took a sip and said, "What a broken place, it scares people to death." ”

Sun Yueling's face sank, glared at him, Xiao Linzi tilted his head and looked elsewhere.

Entering the room, it looks even more dilapidated, the hall is not big, there are a lot of cobwebs hanging on the four corners, a table in front of the wall is dusty, an incense burner is placed on it, and the table above the table is enshrined with a tablet, which may not have been sacrificed for a long time, and the tablet is not known to be crooked by something, and it is sideways.

Seeing this, Ling'er stretched out her hand to straighten the tablet, her eyes were red, and she burst into tears, choking up: "I haven't been here for seven years, and it's abandoned like this." ”

Sun Yueling sighed, thinking that she returned to the place where she lived when she was a child at this time, although the house was dilapidated, but seeing things and thinking about people, feeling nostalgic for her life experience, it was inevitable that she would be sad and painful.

Ling'er said: "This hall is so dirty and messy, I want to clean it." ”

Sun Yueling thought to himself that it would take a lot of time, looked up at the outside, the sky was getting dark, and the night was coming, but he said: "It's okay, it's to clean up." ”

"When is it all and still cleaning?" Xiao Linzi muttered, unexpectedly impatient.

"What nonsense are you talking about, let's clean it up together." Sun Yueling originally wanted to give him some silver, and he didn't let him run for nothing, but he didn't expect this guy to be so impatient, and he hated this person even more in his heart, so he decided not to give him a penny, what if he broke the rules.

Although Xiao Linzi was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to disobey Sun Yueling, afraid that he would not be able to get a penny of hard work at that time, who knew that he had already decided to do nothing, and took the prepared things with the two of them and began to clean the hall.

The three of them swept and wiped the hall, and cleaned the cobwebs in the corners of the house, all of which were dusty and unkempt.

After cleaning up, Ling'er took out incense and candles, lit them with a fire breaker and inserted them in the incense burner, placed the offerings on the table, knelt down in front of the table, prostrated and prayed, and her eyes blurred again. Maybe someone was there, and she was too inconvenient to lose her temper, so she just whispered to the tablet.

Sun Yueling saw that she was concentrating on worship, and it was not easy to disturb her, so she glanced at Xiao Linzi, only to see that he was not angry, and squinted at Ling'er who was kneeling on the ground.

After a while, Ling'er got up and said, "Okay, let's go back." ”

"It's been like this a long time ago." When Xiao Linzi saw her get up, he called again.

Seeing that he was so arrogant, Sun Yueling was angry in his heart, and said: "Wait, I still have to pay tribute to ......" Seeing that the tablet was written "Zhixian Li Gong's spiritual seat", he thought to himself that Ling'er's surname was Li, and said, "Sacrifice Li ...... Uncle Lee. ”

walked to the table and knelt down, and said loudly: "Li Gong is above, I hope you will bless me in the spirit of heaven to mix as much as possible, please accept the third bow of the little grandson." He bowed his head three times, folded his hands, and closed his eyes and prayed like a bodhisattva in a temple.

Ling'er exclaimed: "Childe ......" was very happy in her heart.

Xiao Linzi couldn't bear it, and snorted in his nose again, but he was still heard by Sun Yueling, and after he finished worshipping, he turned his head to Xiao Linzi and said, "The deceased is great, you also come to bow." ”
