Chapter 64: This Donkey Is a Horse
The reputation of the donkey in the Tang Dynasty was obviously not as good as that of horses and cows. This is also related to the historical environment of the Tang Dynasty.
The military strength made the Tang Dynasty think that it was a high-headed horse, a galloping horse with ten thousand horses galloping and indomitable.
When proud, the poet sang "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day". When frustrated, it is "knocking the skinny bone forward, as if with a copper sound".
And if you dig a little deeper, you will find that the appearance of the donkey in the Song Dynasty has greatly increased. For example, Lu You's singing "Drizzle Riding a Donkey into the Sword Gate", Su Shi's "The Road Leader Sleepy Donkey Neighs", in short, these sounding characters have to be donkeys. If you open the "Qingming Riverside Map", you will find that there are also more donkeys and fewer horses on it.
This is all because of the unique atmosphere of the culture, as well as the national integrity.
Therefore, Li Er will compare Qin Ze to a donkey, not a horse, and in his heart, the real horses are all beings who roar on the battlefield.
It's just that Qin Ze never thought that Cheng Fu would send him a carriage so quickly. It's just that this horse is thin and small, although the servant who sent the cart insisted that it was a horse.
But whose horse has such long ears and such a long face?
"The horse just looks like a donkey."
This is what people said, and Qin Ze also feels that what they said makes sense. Add a sentence at the end:
"That is, it looks like a donkey, and its voice is like that of a donkey. Actually, it's still a horse. ”
So, that's it. Jiupin Lu joined the army and had his first carriage.
It's just that seeing this horse, it has already hurt half of Qin Ze's heart, and when he saw the carriage clearly, the other half of his heart was suddenly wow cool.
The mottled and withered blue-red exterior paint clings weakly to the outer wall of the carriage. Occasionally, because of the shaking of the carriage, a piece or two would fall from time to time, and float freely in the wind.
It seems that the car window screen has been ravaged countless times, a hole in the east and a hole in the west. The wrinkles are more terrifying than the wrinkles on the old man's face.
The four walls of the carriage were full of cracked cracks, so that Qin Ze could see the withering inside the carriage before he stepped into the carriage.
Not to mention that there is such a magnificent Cheng Fu servant standing next to this carriage, no matter how you look at it, there is an extreme beauty of contrast.
Erhu was also stupid when he stood aside, he grabbed the donkey's saddle tightly, for fear that the donkey would accidentally break up the young master's carriage.
"Tsk, it's a fragrant car, a BMW is charming and drunk, and the words in front of the house are boastful."
Qin Ze touched the carriage with a satisfied face, and casually sang a poem. It was done casually, but it also blew the carriage into the sky.
After saying this, he didn't wait for the servants of the Cheng Mansion to react. took out dozens of dollars and gave them one by one. Tell them to say thank you for themselves.
This time can make these servants confused, and they are dizzy one by one, and they walk towards Chengfu.
"Sixth brother, what did Qin Gongzi say just now?"
A domestic servant was obviously not sure what Qin Ze meant, and asked the sixth brother, who had always been smart.
"Fart's incense car BMW, I saw Fauber use this to pull night incense a few days ago. If he could smell it, I would eat the donkey. ”
The sixth brother was obviously a smart person, and he saw through Qin Ze's meaning at a glance.
What kind of fragrant car BMW, what everyone praises, isn't this kid just sarcastic about them?
Besides, Qin Ze and Erhu, who sent away the servants of the Cheng Mansion, both looked at each other. Especially the three girls next door didn't know how to get together.
Looking at the donkey cart, he smiled and asked Qin Ze if he was going to make a living pulling goods. He also said that if there was a real shortage of subordinates, he could go to her house to be a bookkeeper.
The two tigers are also in a dilemma, and they are not allowed to pull or release. Instead, Qin Zeluo generously returned the salute and said, "It's okay, it's just that Uncle Cheng took pity on the boy's body and sent a carriage from Chengfu." I'm tired of the three girls. ”
"What?"
The third girl was stunned for a moment, and asked with some disbelief: "This is sent by Cheng Fu?" ”
Qin Ze smiled and nodded, then pointed to the Cheng Mansion servant who hadn't gone far and said, "Na, it was just delivered." ”
Seeing those domestic servants, the third girl was also convinced. He just didn't say much, shook his head and left.
Erhu looked at Qin Ze with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant. It's a shame to have a donkey cart, and he shows it off everywhere.
Erhu, what does he know, Cheng Lao Demon used this donkey cart to disgust him Qin Ze, he wanted to use the donkey cart to disgust Cheng Lao Demon.
The mouth of the third girl, Qin Ze has seen it, and that guy is not much worse than a trumpet. If there is anything you want to tell others, you won't go out in person, you just need to tell the third girl quietly and unintentionally.
"Kuang Kuang!"
Qin Ze patted the dilapidated carriage and shook off a piece of flying debris. Turning around, he met Erhu's confused eyes, Qin Ze's eyes slanted, and he scolded: "Look at what your young master is doing, why don't you go and clean the carriage sent by Cheng Fu quickly." Your young master is just about to go out. ”
"What?"
Erhu was obviously a little stunned, thinking in his heart if his young master was sick in the brain and wouldn't really want to take this carriage?
"Young master, you really have to sit ......"
The rest of the words Erhu couldn't go on, because he really couldn't figure out whether it was a carriage or a donkey cart.
"Nonsense, this is a good idea from General Cheng. Young master, I want to travel in this carriage to this beautiful Chang'an. ”
Erhu obviously couldn't keep up with Qin Ze's train of thought, but since Qin Ze had spoken, what else could he do. I could only obediently pull the carriage into the courtyard and fetch water to clean it myself.
And Qin Ze specially went to buy a blanket and spread it in the carriage. Qin Ze doesn't care about how it is broken outside, but not inside. Anyway, he who wants to sit on it himself, but he who suffers is himself.
This washing was a morning, and even the water in the well was emptied by Erhu, which made the carriage look cleaner.
So in the afternoon, Qin Ze took Erhu and swaggered through the market in a donkey cart.
Along the way, the people all stopped and watched.
Some bold ones will laugh at Erhu directly, and Erhu is so ashamed that his face is red.
"Young Master, are we really going to Shaopu Cloth Village?" The second tiger lowered his head, eager to get into the carriage too.
"Well, naturally I'm going to East City, where there are a lot of talents." Qin Ze replied indistently.
It's not that he pretends to be profound, it's that he is upset when he sits in this carriage. Especially the constantly shaking windows around always made Qin Ze suspect that it would collapse soon. Coupled with the sound of the surrounding impact, Qin Ze was depressed for a while.
"I knew it was so uncomfortable, and I wouldn't sit down if I was killed. It's good that the old demon Chengcheng hasn't been disgusted yet, and he is going to be disgusted to death. ”
At this time, the carriage did not have the so-called shock absorption device. Even the wheels are made of wood, and no matter how skilled they are, they can't be perfectly curved.
And there is no such thing as tires, so this time it is torturous.
But fortunately, the East Market is not too far away, and Qin Ze and the others quickly took a carriage to the door of Shaopu Cloth Village.
Qin Ze stretched out his head to look, and saw Cheng Huailiang at a glance. This guy is going to be wandering around the store these days, according to him, to see if the copper coin has a manifestation.
Seeing Cheng Huailiang and Qin Ze, he was relieved, and suddenly showed a smile. Let Erhu pull the carriage aside.
At the same time, Xiao Er in the store also discovered them. He didn't know Qin Ze and Erhu, and when he saw this broken carriage, he didn't even mean to come out and lead it.
I don't know if the donkey also felt his coldness, and opened his mouth to let out a hysterical donkey call.
The sound was unbearable.
Not to mention the junior second in the store this time, even Wang Fu, who was busy on the side, also looked up.
He recognized Erhu, and immediately guessed who the person sitting inside was. It's just that he never imagined that Qin Ze would come in a donkey cart.
And he is still so swaggering, if he didn't know that Qin Ze was not serious in the first place, he would probably wonder if he had a problem with his brain.
Qin Zeyi lowered his body and got out of the carriage, wanting to jump out of the carriage, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big, and if he accidentally caused the carriage to fall apart.
So I had to gently hold on to the wheels and carefully get out of the carriage.
"Brother Qin, what are you singing again?" Wang Fu saw that there were a lot of onlookers, so he hurriedly came out to play haha.
At this time, the little second also knew Qin Ze's identity, and hurriedly came up, took the reins from Erhu's hand, and pulled the carriage to the side.
"Isn't this idle and sitting in a carriage and coming to have a look?" Qin Ze deliberately didn't mention the carriage, only said that he was coming to take a look.
Cheng Huailiang on the other side also came up, stared at Qin Ze for a long time, suddenly pointed to the carriage, laughed and said, "I said Brother Qin, don't you want to deceive me." This is clearly a donkey, how did it become a horse? ”
These days, Cheng Huailiang has gradually realized that he may have been deceived by Qin Ze. The copper coin had no so-called spirituality at all, but there were really no steps down, so I pretended to be casual and continued to observe.
Especially yesterday, Cheng Laodemon came back from the palace, and without saying a word, he asked him if he had received a set of weapons from Qin Ze.
Only then did he know that he had fallen for Qin Ze, and he was holding his stomach with nowhere to put it.
Suddenly seeing Qin Ze coming in a donkey cart, the unhappiness in his heart was suddenly swept away. This is full of Chang'an, and he really hasn't seen the second one riding a donkey cart.
He had seen his own servants pull sundries in donkey carts, but he had never seen anyone use donkeys to pull carts.
But the other party still has to say that the donkey is a horse, is this a horse, and what is it that says that a horse is not a blind man?
"Brother Cheng, don't talk nonsense. The horse just looks like a donkey. ”
Qin Ze replied solemnly, without the slightest flustery.
"So you mean that the bark was also a horse's bark?"
Cheng Huailiang rubbed his hands with a smug face.
Qin Ze saw his expression, and he was really a little unbearable.
The matter of weapons, although he didn't mean it, but he also cheated him once. The carriage thing is really a bit hard to handle......
Originally, Qin Ze was planning to pull the carriage and let Cheng Huailiang see how generous his father was. But when he really saw the other party playing tricks, Qin Ze suddenly felt a little unbearable.
But......
After Qin Ze silently recited in his heart a few times: "I didn't mean to", this thought was suddenly swept away.
"Brother Cheng, this horse just barks like a donkey, it's really a horse."
