Chapter 1 Huining Mansion Meets a Beautiful Woman
A touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, and the soldiers defending the city of Huining Mansion were still asleep. A man with frost and dew on his riding boots was already waiting under the city to prepare to enter the city.
This man's name is Ma Chao, he is a veterinarian in the modern countryside, because when he was treating a horse, he was kicked in the back of the head by the door, and when he woke up, he was swallowed up by a lot of memories.
Ma Chao is a college graduate of the College of Agriculture, majoring in veterinary medicine. When he went out of the village, Ma Chao went with the intention of learning a craft, but when he arrived at school, he found that he couldn't learn bullshit, so it was better to follow the village veterinarian for two years. Not only did he not succeed in his studies, but he was also blinded by the city's red and red flowers, thinking that he would find a job after graduation and not return to the village.
As a result, I rented a five-square-meter house without a toilet, ate instant noodles for three months, didn't find a job, and even the dirty work in the factory was robbed by engineering college students.
Forced to return to the village, he interned as a veterinarian, but was kicked in the back of the head by a horse, and when he woke up, he found himself a citizen of Daejin Province, living in a Tibetan horse town in Hoeryeong Province.
is also called Ma Chao, but his body has become weak, his mother died early, and his father went to the underworld not long ago. Before leaving, he left a broken tile house for the orphan Ma Chao. This Ma family has been a horse doctor for generations, seeking the idea of moderation, not seeking fame and fortune.
If it weren't for this strange crossing? It's kind of a crossing, right? It may also be that the ancient Ma Chao has the memory of the modern Ma Chao, in short, it is impossible for a person with modern ideas to live in this bitter Tibetan horse town for the rest of his life. Ma Chao was ready to throw it alone, sold the broken tile house for 200 yuan, put it in a white cloth pocket, tied a hemp rope in his mouth, stuffed it into his arms, and came towards the metropolis of Huining Mansion.
The city wall of Huining Mansion is two feet high, divided into the south city and the north city, and there used to be an imperial city, but the imperial city was demolished. There has been no war recently, so the soldiers defending the city in Huining Mansion have turned a blind eye and slacked off their work.
The third watch day arrived, and I have been waiting outside, and people have come one after another. The sun had already come, and the soldiers guarding the city looked at Ma Chao with wide eyes, and they didn't speak, and they didn't mean to open the door when it was time to open the door. After holding on for a while, the people behind pulled Ma Chao away, muttered a curse in his mouth, and then smiled at the soldiers guarding the city and stuffed two cents.
Ma Chao's big money is the currency that just circulated last year, and he made 200 yuan from selling his house, which is all discounted by two, which is equivalent to 400 Wen, which sounds like a lot. In fact, the inflation of the Jin Dynasty is also very strong, and a pound of pork costs 20 yuan.
Seeing the money in front, Ma Chao understood that he wanted to give money when he entered the city, so he took out his own money from his arms, and the 200 big money was still worn with a rope, Ma Chao worked hard to untie the rope buckle and took out two pennies to the soldiers guarding the city.
Ma Chao entered the city, but the wealth was exposed.
……
The city is different, the clear water under the wooden arch bridge, the carved beams and paintings of the main courtyard, and the woman wearing red and green came through the interstitial screen with a sound like a warbler.
The hanging flower door, the finely carved stone lions, the five spines and six beasts on the eaves. Ma Chao was stunned, this scenery and folklore is a scenery that no one can see in modern times.
With the feeling of wandering all the way, unconsciously came to the front of a canteen, in front of the door hung a banner to welcome guests, the fragrance of dishes slowly drifted along the second floor of the pavilion, occasionally two poetic sentences came from the pavilion, listening to these literati Moshi pushing the cup to change the lamp, Ma Chao's belly gurgling.
Ma Chao was a little self-aware, walked for a while, and found a man who sold steamed buns in the mouth of the alley, ready to buy two big meat buns to satisfy his hunger.
Ma Chao touched it in his arms, and his face changed suddenly, and the string of big money in his arms had long been gone.
It turned out that while browsing the scenery, the money had already been stolen. Ma Chao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hugged the official, and the people from the yamen just agreed, there are so many people in the city, where to find them.
Ma Chao wandered around until dark with a hungry stomach, feeling particularly aggrieved in his heart, thinking that after others crossed, he would open all the way, not only the wealth of the rich country, but also the beauties of the country and the city. Why are you so cowardly, and you have lost your only money.
When he was annoyed, he suddenly heard the sound of a gong, Ma Chao looked around and found that there were people who were more depressed than his own image, heading in one direction. It turned out that there was a young lady from a rich family in the distance, and when she was hungry, she didn't care about anything, so Ma Chao ran hard and picked up a broken bowl from the ground. Ma Chao swore that he must live as a human here, provided that he could not starve to death here.
Ma Chao lined up in the queue and saw the woman of the soup porridge from a distance, the woman was with a maid, the maid was responsible for the porridge, and the woman distributed the thick bread to everyone. The woman's movements are light, she is well-groomed, and her eyebrows are clear, although she is not as good as those stars with makeup, but she is also moving, Ma Chao was a little stunned.
Thinking about how to talk to him, such an identity, such an environment, if Ma Chao goes up to say a young lady's surname, not only will this woman not take care of him, but she will probably be torn in half by these hungry people.
Ma Chao is not thinking about having anything to do with the woman, he just wants to find a bite to eat and find a way out in the place where this kind woman stays. As soon as my head turned, I came up with a solution.
When he was approaching the woman, Ma Chao muttered: "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but the fame cannot be forgotten!" Where will the past and the present meet? The barren mound is a pile of buildings. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget! In the end, he only hated to gather much, and when he reached a long time, his eyes were closed. ”
When the woman heard it, she couldn't help laughing, and asked Ma Chao: "This son, the poem you are talking about is not a poem, the words are not words, what do you hear are good and harmonious?" ”
During the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen people were seriously sinicized, not only were there many Han people as officials, but even the people of the Jurchen people were addicted to the poetry and songs of the Han Dynasty, and the rich girls were even more proud of being able to recite poems and make music.
As soon as Ma Chao heard the woman ask him, he was happy to speak, and began to speak in the vernacular: "Miss, if you hear the word good and good, you understand, there are thousands of things in this world, good is good, good is good." If not, it is not good, if it is good, it must be. ”
The maid felt that Ma Chao was talking nonsense, and was about to drive away, but was stopped by the woman, who vaguely felt that there was great wisdom in it, so she asked: "Has the son ever read?" ”
As soon as Ma Chao heard that there was a play, he thought that this half-baked thing he learned from the dream of Red Mansions really came in handy, but he still straightened up, held his attitude, and said: "I recognize some words." ”
The woman asked the maid what kind of livelihood she had in the house now, and the maid said that there was no clerical job, and the horses had been sick recently, and there was a shortage of horse servants to take care of the horses at home.
The woman thought about it and said that she would arrange to enter the house first, and she was saying after the position, just don't let the son really raise horses. Ma Chao listened on the side, secretly grateful.
