Chapter 110: Bianliang
After everything is done, the army that went to Beijing to catch the exam will be on the road.
In this era, the inconvenience of transportation can torture people to death, and even if you take the exam and come back immediately, the next time we meet will be a year and a half later. Although the little sister was reluctant, the two newlywed Yan'er's sisters-in-law didn't say anything, so she naturally had to hold back her .......
Chen Ke was deeply sorry for leaving his little sister in Shuzhong, but before he got married, Su Xun resolutely refused to allow his little sister to go with him, so he had to hope that the problem could be solved in the capital...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but despise that incompetent father, how could he not even do this?
This time, they did not go to the Three Gorges, but went to Beijing from the dry road, through the Sword Pavilion, over the Qinling Mountains, and traveled thousands of miles, which lasted more than two months, before arriving at the boundary of Beijing.
When he left Sichuan, it was still the third year of Zhihe, and when he arrived in Beijing, it became the first year of Jiayou...... The Great Song Dynasty changed the era name again.
Do the math, Chen Ke has been in this world for ten years, and the year name has been changed three times: the first time, because Li Yuanhao hung up, it was changed to Huangyou ......, thanks to the emperor's blessing; the second time, because of the quelling of the Nong Zhigao rebellion, it was changed to the current Zhihe ......, looking forward to world peace; It's only been peaceful for a little more than two years, and it's changed to Jiayou again.
The reason for the change of the era name this time is because the current official family is sick...... Not a minor illness, but a major one.
It happened on a festive day, on the first day of the first lunar month, at the New Year's party of the Great Song Dynasty.
On this day, hundreds of officials gathered in the main hall and lined up in full costumes, ready to pay New Year's greetings to His Majesty the beloved Emperor. When the chamberlain rolled up the bright yellow curtains and wore a grand costume, the Song official family sat on the dragon chair.
The ministers were about to pay homage to the Emperor of Fraud and fell down first, and after a moment of stunned, a scream sounded...... and the emperor fainted! The following picture is not suitable for foreign ministers, and the eunuchs quickly closed the curtain.
The ministers looked at each other, their hearts were raised, and after a while, the curtain was opened again, and the ministers saw that the emperor was sitting there in a good manner.
It seemed that it was just a false alarm, and the ministers could barely suppress the fear in their hearts and bowed to the emperor and retreated. This is just the beginning.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the first day of work in the imperial court, it is naturally a great dynasty, and the envoys of the Liao State will also go to the court to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.
At the beginning, it was good that when the envoy of the Liao State went to the palace, the emperor suddenly danced with his hands, salivating and incoherently. The Liao envoy was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo reacted quickly and said to the Liao envoy that during the emperor's Spring Festival, there was no moderation in drinking, and the hangover he drank last night was uh,...
Thanks to the Liao people, they didn't forget to think elsewhere, the face of the Great Song Dynasty, so they didn't lose it to foreign countries.
In the next few days, the official family's condition became worse and worse, and they wore their hair every day, shouting in the palace: 'The queen and Zhang Mao are plotting against each other, and so on. The queen is Empress Cao, the granddaughter of the founding general Cao Bin, who is kind and cautious. And Zhang Mao is the chief eunuch in her palace.
No one knows what happened, in short, poor Father-in-law Zhang was forced to have no choice, so he had to hang himself......
After that, Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others were responsible for handling the great harmony inside and outside the court, and organized hundreds of officials in the capital to pray in temples and Taoist temples. In short, in the whole capital, chickens and dogs jumped and tossed for a month, and when Chen Ke and them entered Beijing, the official family's illness gradually recovered, and they began to deal with political ......affairs again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In February of the first year of Jiayou, the land of the north is still cold in spring.
After a two-month long journey, the Chen brothers and the Su family finally arrived in Bianliang City.
In fact, I didn't see the city, I had already arrived in Bianliang, and I was in Gyeonggi before, and along the way, there were houses and pastorals, chickens and dogs everywhere. The closer you get to Bianliang, the wider the road becomes, and there are brick and stone drainage ditches on the side of the road, which are said to be full of lotus plants. Although the season is not right, I didn't see the lotus, but the peaches, plums, pears, apricots, and miscellaneous flowers on the shore are enough to make people imagine that between spring and summer, they look at the beautiful scenery like embroidery.
On both sides of the official road, there are gardens, within a hundred miles, there is no idle land, everywhere the pink wall fine willows, the eaves are heavy, there is red makeup according to the happy Bao Xie floor, there is a white-faced song near the painting bridge and flowing water, the scenery is picturesque, and the joy of the level is to teach",... Su Xun pointed out to the younger generations, the common people's homes with pink walls and tiles, the gardens of the gentry and wealthy merchants with high walls and cornices, and the glazed tile roofs like palaces are temples and roads,... Chen Ke can be regarded as going south and north, and none of the so-called big cities he has seen can catch up with the suburbs of Bianliang.
Not to mention the Su Shi brothers, who went out for the first time, they all looked around like dirt buns, and they sighed every other while: "Gua Wazidi, is this a fairyland?" It made Su Laoquan's old face red, and ordered them not to squint and close their mouths, so as not to embarrass the people of Sichuan.
On the wide official road, it is enough to accommodate twenty carriages running side by side, and the bustling is full of carriages and horses...... There are teams of donkeys carrying round bags of grain, wheelbarrows full of flowers and charcoal, and carts loaded with pigs and sheep.
In addition to these products from the suburbs, there are also products from Shu
Cloth and silk tea from China, Zhaoguo paper inkstone: wool from the northwest, yellow paste from Luo, incense medicine......
Not only on this road, but also on the various waterways leading to the thirteen city gates of Bianjing, the same picture is being staged. Like a blood transfusion, ginger and cinnamon grains, silk silk cloth wisps, mackerel whale abalone carp, stuffed salt aldehyde drums, rice and wheat grains in all directions,... There is everything, it is not undisciplined, and one by one it is imported into the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo Bianliang City" This makes Tokyo incomparably fresh.
In this way, I walked to noon, saw a sparkling big lake on the left side of the road, about ten miles around, the weeping willows were widely planted by the lake, the pavilion of the palace tower and the ancient pine and strange cypress, the strange stone and the bridge reflected each other...... Su Xun told them that this is the famous Jinming Pond, one of the four forbidden gardens of the royal family, every festival, it will be open to the people, there are countless painting boats, and there are boat races, water play...... People rushed to watch, and it was absolutely lively.
Just when the younger generations yearned for it, he pointed to the south again, which was a red palace wall, and the yellow glazed tiles on the wall: "Do you know where it is?" ”
"I don't know ......"
"Qionglin Garden, it is said that the Qionghua in it is like snow, and it is a beautiful scenery in the world." Su Xun said with a look of fascination: "This is also one of the four forbidden gardens of the royal family, but it will not be open to idlers. ”
After the juniors were stunned for a moment, Su Xun pointed ahead and said, "Bianliang City, it's here!" ”
Everyone looked up and saw that in the morning mist, the dark blue city wall of Bianjing City seemed to be towering into the clouds!
They entered the city from the first city gate south-west of the outer city of Bianliang, Shuntian Gate, commonly known as Xinzheng Gate.
As soon as you enter the city gate, the picturesque garden scenery disappears, replaced by a rich breath of life
The houses on both sides of the street are lined with various types of shops.
Such as needle shop, color shop, tooth comb shop, head and face shop, tooth brushing shop, bandana shop, medicine shop, Qibao shop, white clothes shop, belt shop, velvet shop, crown shop, pouring tin shop, light pai shop, cloud ladder silk shoe shop, silk knot shop, flower shop, folding fan shop, green caster fan shop...... Almost every type of commodity, there is a franchise, a wide variety, you can choose.
In addition, there are medical outpatient clinics, Damu repairs, fortune telling, face trimming and plastic surgery, all walks of life, all-inclusive. At the head of the large store, there are also two or three storey high-building Cai Lou Huan Door, and the brightly colored and gorgeous market banners are hung to attract people's attention and attract business.
In the market, the pedestrians under Huanmen are shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless, including merchants from the Western Regions leading camels, merry scholars shaking folding fans, gentry watching the street scene, officials riding horses, hawkers, family members riding sedan chairs, monks carrying baskets, tourists from other places asking for directions, children from the streets and alleys listening to stories, children of wealthy families drinking in restaurants, and disabled elderly people begging on the edge of the city...... Men, women and children, Shinong, industry and commerce, three religions and nine streams, all gathered on the streets of Kaifeng City, jointly deducing a prosperous picture of a peaceful and prosperous era.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not to mention the Su brothers, even Chen Ke was moved to tears by this realistic version of the Qingming Riverside picture, and when he came, saw, and felt, he felt that his life was worthwhile.
Just when several people were scrambling to search their intestines and scrape their stomachs, using the most gorgeous rhetoric to describe the scene in front of them, Lao Su, who was disturbed by the scenery, coughed and said to Chen Ke: "Let's separate here, right?" ”
"Alas...", Chen Ke sighed and said: "Uncle should go home, although it is not big, but it is a nest." ”
"Don't go!" Su Xun shook his head categorically, and said to Su Shi: "Let's go ......", as long as he thought that there was Chen Xiliang in that house, he couldn't wait to raise his sword and kill that bastard!
"It seems that they won't be able to meet without making a profit." Su Shi sighed, patted Chen Ke, and said with a smile: "I know your address, I will settle down another day, and I will go to look for you, we have to have a good time in this Bianliang City." ”
"Hmm." Chen Ke smiled: "That's nature. ”
The brothers sang a song and went their separate ways.
"Let's go, too." Chen Ke looked at Song Duanping, Shiro, Goro and Rokuro, and said with a smile: "Go and see what our family is like?" ”
"Be careful......" Before Song Duanping's words fell, he heard a scream in the distance, and an unridden jujube red horse galloped from the crowded market.
