Chapter 14 The Little Master of the Southern Song Dynasty
Approaching the return date, Xie Shence had stopped all his studies and accompanied Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan to the mountains and rivers all day long. After swimming through Yangzhou, Suzhou, everyone set the last stop in Jinling City.
Jinling has always been an important town in the world, especially the Eastern Wu Dynasty that was destroyed by the Great Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the capital is here.
The feng shui masters of the past dynasties have said that the dragon qi of Jinling is located, the terrain is excellent, and it is the city of great prosperity. However, the old monk said that the number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is fourteen and nine, although Jinling is a blessed land for the king, the mountain is high, the water is deep, the original is flat, and the pole heaven works Zhong Yu, but it is too complete, and it is harmful to the national Zuo.
Soochow is the best example of this. In that year, after being attacked by the Great Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty naval army broke through Jinling in one fell swoop, and the royal family of the Liu clan of Eastern Wu was slaughtered, and the jade seal of the country was missing.
Jinling City now belongs to the Southern Song Dynasty and is opposite to Chuzhou City across the river. Compared with the construction of the military town of Chuzhou City, Jinling City has more urban style.
Continuing the atmosphere of drunkenness and gold in Eastern Wu, coupled with the heavy literature of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jinling City is now more extravagant and comparable to Xiangdu. Aunt Xie Yun has a poem "Tourists drunk with warm wind, and make Jinling Xiangdu". For a time, Jinling was a gathering place for literati and scholars.
The geographical location of Jinling follows the north and south, and undertakes nearly forty percent of the commercial and trade exchanges between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the port water transportation is extremely developed, and the population is extremely prosperous.
Entering Jinling City, Xiao Xie's biggest feeling is the huge gap between the prosperity of the city and the depression of Jiangfang. When the little Lori Wang Jiehua and the little dimple Wang Qingyan competed and lingered in the jewelry rouge and cloth shop, Xiao Xie looked at the weaving tourists on the street and couldn't help but sigh, since ancient times, Jinling has been so enchanting, how can it be worth a few swords. However, the miracle is that no matter how big the war is, Jinling can always recover its appearance in a very short time, or even more than in the past.
Between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, it seems to be like glue, but in fact, it looks like a god.
Otherwise, the Great Jin Dynasty would not have built a huge military town around Chuzhou City. Huaisi has many athletes, since ancient times, it has been a strong army, and today's Huaiyang Metropolitan Governor is to control the military and political affairs of Hexi, Chuzhou, Sizhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou.
Brother Xiao Xie doesn't think that one of the most powerful military towns in the world overlooking Jinling and the Southern Song Dynasty is just for the official saying that "waterproofing and suppressing salt owls" is as simple as that. Under the power of the Wang family, all water thieves and smuggling salt dealers are scum. Brother Xiao Xie has been in the Wang family for eight years, and after the age of ten, he will "suppress bandits" with the little fat man Wang Kui and others every year, but which time is the water and salt owl?
Brother Xiao Xie can be sure that in the sand table of the Huaijun camp (speaking of which is still Brother Xie's "invention"), there must have been no less than a hundred deductions on how to break through Jinling City again, and even Brother Xiao Xie can be sure that Wang Ding has definitely thought about what kind of armor to wear, what kind of horse to ride, which gate of Jinling City to enter, and which street to enter the former palace from, and more than once.
From Yongjinmen to Wansui Mountain, from the Flower and Bird Market to the Silk Village, from the Baoxiao Temple of the former Great Chu Dynasty to the Fenglingdu of Eastern Wu, and then from the Tide Viewing Pavilion to the former Imperial Palace. After a few days, Xiao Brother Xie was tired and became a dog, but the two girls became more and more excited, and they had the heroism to fight to the last breath of death.
In fact, Brother Xiao Xie can completely understand the mood of the two little girls, Chuzhou City is indeed big, but Chuzhou is still a military town at the root, compared to the prosperity of Jinling City, it is simply a world of difference between tractors and Ferraris, it is easy to come to such a prosperous metropolis, and it is inevitable to be a little excited.
However, the results of the two are not ordinarily brilliant, just looking at the bill, they have "killed" 80,000 enemies in three days! Eighty thousand taels of silver! Not to mention the exchange for a generic copper coin, it is a real silver ingot, which can also bury the two girls alive. I guess the two little girls don't know how many people it takes to move, right? In their eyes, money is just a number in their ears, and there is no real concept. You can't expect a light shirt and a small shawl worth three hundred taels of silver, and the little girl who has not left the pavilion will bargain for nineteen taels and seven dollars on the twenty-one "novelty little jewelry".
However, Brother Xiao Xie is not painful at all, Wang Dai and Wang Tuhao have done a lot of blood for this Jinling trip. Before leaving, he put down his arrogance, "Buy!" Just buy it! Everything that looks pleasing to the eye is moved back! "No, the two girls didn't take politeness as polite at all. It cost 80,000 taels in three days, and Wang Dai didn't vomit blood when he knew! However, Brother Xiao Xie estimated that Wang Dai should have vomited blood after seeing the two large truckloads of "loot" that were transported back yesterday.
What made little Brother Xie happy was that in addition to their own jewelry, clothes and gifts to their families, most of the silver of the two little girls was spent on themselves.
For example, a pair of boots woven with black gold silk and Shu brocade, seven hundred taels! A light shirt of silk, 1,200 taels! A robe made of eight top-grade snow fox furs, three thousand taels! There are also sky-high scabbards customized for Xiao Xie's "Shence" Han knife and Huya whaling fork and other knives, as well as various local tyrant equipment. Like clothes or anything is nothing, jade pendants, hairpins, belts, suitable for various occasions: banquet drinking, home wear, hunting clothes, etc., various styles: bold, elegant, simple, etc., various colors: bright, low-key, deep, etc. I often hear two little girls fighting over which dress to wear with what belt, which color and what style for Brother Xie, so that Brother Xie can try it on repeatedly. The frequent change of clothes made Xiao Brother Xie itch all over his body when he saw the new clothes.
Although it seems to be aggrieved and hard, in fact, Brother Xiao Xie has no doubts about the "fashionable" vision and appraisal level of the two little girls. Who is Aunt Xie Yun? Who is the local tyrant Wang Dai? Their daughter is definitely ahead of her time when it comes to dressing!
On the afternoon of the last day before leaving, Xiao Brother Xie, Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan drank tea and listened to music on the second floor of the "Old Tea Pavilion", the premier teahouse in Jinling City. As I was listening to the drowsiness, I suddenly heard the street boiling, and even many people with status on the second floor got up or looked sideways. Brother Xiao Xie was curious and stuck his head out of the railing to see what was going on.
I saw that everyone was looking around the street to see a beautiful man, this man was sitting on the ox cart, dressed in white, wearing a jade crown, looking like Song Yu, and looking better than Pan An (of course, Pan An did not have it at this time). His eyes are like bright stars, his lips are like crescent moons, his heavenly court is full, his face is dignified, and he can see that he is slender when he sits, with wide shoulders and thin waist, and a good skin.
When the man got off the ox cart, Brother Xiao Xie found that this guy was still a long-legged Oba, according to the aesthetics of this era, this guy was already a first-class beautiful man. But Brother Xiao Xie didn't have a good impression of this guy. The natural enemy of a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, and the natural enemy of a beautiful man is not a beautiful man?
The man came to the second floor in the car of the old tea lord, and then came up to the second floor in a short time, and sat down on an empty table separated by a half-length screen not far from Brother Xie, ordered a pot of tea, and tasted it slowly.
Originally, Brother Xiao Xie was not interested in beautiful men, and when this guy went upstairs, he actually ignored the people in the next seat with his nostrils facing the sky, and ignored the greetings of several gentry-looking people, which suddenly became even more unpleasant.
"Who is it, I've seen someone pretend to be thirteen, but I've never seen someone pretend to be thirteen like this!"
At that time, the atmosphere was that the celebrities were not ox carts and did not ride, they did not step on clogs, and they did not stay in the Qing Pavilion seats, how old is this sissy, and the thirteen grids are so high? My brother is so handsome and so low-key.
"Hehe, haven't you heard of the second brother, the leader of the younger generation of the Lu family in Jiangdong, Lu Juan Lu Ziheng has been in Jinling City recently, this person should be him. It's really a talented and beautiful character. Wang Jiehua said with a smile.
"Hmph, talent and appearance? What do you mean, that little white face is more literary than Brother Hani, and better looking than Brother Hani? "Sure enough, where there is Wang Jiehua, there is Wang Qingyan's murderous aura. However, this murderous little Brother Xie is really enjoying it, this chick is sensible, and she knows that her brother's beauty and wisdom coexist.
"Humph! Of course, that little white face can't compare to the second brother, I'm just relaying other people's words, you don't want to slander me! "Wang Jiehua is not a vegetarian either.
"Alright, alright." Hurry up and stop, otherwise you can fight for half a day. "Of course, that little white face is not as good as this little marquis Yushu Linfeng, graceful, and Wen Taowu is slight, but this little white face is really beautiful. Doesn't Fourth Brother Wang like male style? It's just in the account! ”
"Hahahaha, Brother Hani, you're so bad."
"Second brother is ashamed, why do you say such things here."
The two little girls couldn't help but laugh.
Fourth Brother Wang is Wang Ding's personal guard, and this time he brought a team of guards to protect the three of them. There is no doubt about this fourth brother Wang's skills and ability to do things, but, as Brother Xiao Xie said, his orientation is a bit problematic and he likes male style, so Brother Xiao Xie has always kept a considerable distance from him. However, it does not prevent making small jokes to shorten the emotional distance.
The fourth brother Wang also lowered his head and smiled without saying a word, looking charming for a while. He does like men, and he doesn't think it's ugly. At that time, the wind was open, and the male style was not unspeakable, just like a woman's appearance, which was also a normal thing. His hobbies are known to the entire Huaijun battalion, and there were even rumors of his "scandal" with Wang Ding, but there is a strong man like his aunt Xie Yun, although Brother Xie is curious, he doesn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
The teahouse is a place of pure recuperation, and the laughter of a few people suddenly caused the unhappiness of several tables of people next to them. Especially the people at the table behind him understood it, put the teacup down, and said: "It's insulting to Sven, such an elegant place, you can't hide your mouth and speak frivolously!" ”
Immediately, some people echoed and reprimanded Brother Xiao Xie for his rudeness.
Jiangdong Lu clan, since the Han Dynasty is a famous family, now hundreds of years have passed, although the sword soldiers are no longer in the past, but in the Southern Song Dynasty Jiangnan Province Lu is still one of the best families, the background is unfathomable. The Lu family has always adhered to the Confucian orthodoxy of "self-cultivation and Qi family governance and leveling the world", and its reputation and prestige are not only in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also in the entire world. The Lu family is now four generations, all of whom are highly educated and famous, and they are all highly respected wherever they go.
In particular, Lu Juan Lu Ziheng, known as the "little master", was able to compose poems at the age of seven, went to the palace at the age of ten, entered Taixue at the age of twelve, entered the national prison at the age of thirteen, and became a doctor at the age of fifteen. At the age of seventeen, he was given marriage by the emperor, but Master Lu actually refused. The emperor cherished his talents, and did not think of them as fools, but became closer and closer. Now he is twenty years old, and he sacrifices wine in the official residence, this time to complete the royal library to Jinling, and collect a single fragment.
Brother Xiao Xie ignored the rebuke beside him, enjoyed Wang Jiehua's hand-brewed tea, and ate peanuts sandwiched by Wang Qing salt in his mouth, directly ignoring a group of "Lu fans".
Seeing that the four people at the table did not make a sound, the voices of the people around him also stopped. After all, quarrels are two things, a slap is not a slap, Jiangnan has always been a popular literati, and others have already scolded and not returned, so there is no need to be aggressive. The second floor of the old teahouse is not something that can be entered with money, and if you can book a tea party here and invite two or three friends to sit down, there will basically be no uneducated nouveau riche.
