Following.

slept until noon, and the two of them got up. After getting up, the family had already cooked a meal, and after eating, Wen Chou and Yan Liang asked Yan's mother to resign and rushed to the official temple.

Before the two of them could get out of the Wen Pavilion, Wen Ba rode a horse from behind.

"Big brother, why didn't you tell me when you left?" Wen Ba caught up and complained about Wen Ugly.

"Hehe, doesn't this mean that you will have a good rest for a few days? Besides, I am waiting to return to the official temple to deal with official business, are you willing to give up the knife and get a pen? Wen Scandal Yan explained with a smile.

"Abandon the knife and get the pen? No, no! When Wen Ba heard this, he shook his head and said. After thinking for a while, he said, "Although I don't want to get that pen, can I do other things, such as helping you coach those villagers!" Hey. ”

"It's training the townsmen!" Wen Chou corrected.

"Yes, that's it, train the townsmen." Wen Ba laughed.

"Training the townsfolk has a good job, so why bother you?" Wen Chou frowned, and there was a faint smile in his voice.

"But...... Big brother, you, you promised my father to let me follow......" Wen Ba heard that Wen Chou didn't want him to follow, and suddenly said anxiously. I've been staying at home these days, but I've been suffocating him, and when Wen Chou returned yesterday, he was finally able to learn from the master twice, and after a martial arts addiction, it's not enough!

Wen Chou smiled and said nothing, riding his horse slowly.

"Ahem, son...... Yong, big brother teases you, how can he not let you follow! Yan Liang looked at Wen Ba, who was so anxious that his face turned red, and coughed lightly.

"Big brother, what Brother Gongji said is true?" Wen Ba was pleasantly surprised.

"What is true or false, if you want to follow, just come with you, I can't drive you away, can I?" Wen Chou replied plausibly.

"Oh, yes!" Wen Ba said happily.

……

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and soon came to the township pavilion where the official temple was located.

Entering the pavilion, after two miles, I turned down the country road, walked among the trees, there were more and more passers-by, and I heard the noise from afar.

"Why is there a lot of noise ahead?" Wen Chou asked.

Wen Ba stepped forward, looked at it from a distance, and after a while, he said: "Today is in Shangxiang City." ”

"yes, yes, how did you forget about it." Wen Chou stroked his forehead.

Wen Chou and the three of them walked along the road for a while, passed this small forest, turned right along the road, and a market appeared in front of them.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, "cities" were divided into the following types: "county cities" in the county seats, "township cities" in the township governance, and "pavilion cities" near the pavilions in the pavilions, and so on. There are still "li cities" in some of the larger lizhong, but there are no li cities in all the li under the jurisdiction of Shahe Township.

The "county city" is like the "department store market" in later generations, with a separate piece of land in the city, surrounded by a courtyard wall, and there are convenient facilities such as shops and warehouses, as well as special institutions and people to manage it. "Township City", "Ting City", and "Li City" are like the "gathering" and "meeting" in the northern countryside in later generations, which are on a specific day, and the people of Qianshou gather together spontaneously to buy and sell goods and communicate with each other.

The "city" in front of you is a standard "township city", in the township pavilion where the official temple of Shahe Township is located, it covers a large enough area, there are enough vendors, the goods are relatively complete, and there are naturally many villagers who come to buy things, not only the local villagers, but also from the outer pavilion, the outside and even the countryside to come, so this also has a common name in the countryside, called "catch the market" is more vivid.

The whole market is full of shouting and selling, men and women, old and young, people come and go, bustling and endless.

Seeing this, Wen Chou dismounted and walked forward, there must be no way to run away in such a busy city! Yan Liang and Wenba also dismounted.

"Yo, isn't this the newly appointed Wen Jun?" A man of one or three decades, dressed in a green cloth hakama and pleats, with a rope tied around his legs, no crown on his head, only a scarf wrapped in a scarf, and a ring-headed knife hanging from his waist. With a smile, he walked from a shop to the three of them.

Wen scandal said, turned his head to look, only to see a newly renovated shop, there is a plaque, on the book "Wen's iron shop" five big characters! I thought to myself: "When did Wen open such a shop, I don't know, besides, this shop is obviously just opened, and the decoration is still new." "It's just that the popularity is too poor, in this prosperous market, there is no one who comes to buy, and there are only a few guys in the store who lean on the door and chat.

But this person who came over, Wen Chou recognized it. It is the Wen clan who is extremely humanistic.

Shahe Wen's is not monolithic, it has always had two more vigorous veins, one is Wen Chou and Wen Yu, and the other is Wen Ji. When Wen Lie, the father of Wen Chou, was still alive, everyone in the Wen family obeyed his virtues, and it was nothing, but since his death, Wen Ji wanted to control Wen Lie's resources on behalf of Wen Lie, but he was finally defeated by Wen Yu, and Wen Yu's virtue was not as good as Wen Lie, and he only barely controlled the situation, and he did not dare to suppress Wen Ji too much. These ugliness are self-aware.

"Oh, it's Brother Zizhang!" Wen Chou stepped forward and smiled.

"Oh, I'm a rough person, but I don't deserve a big gift from Lord Rank!" The text exaggerated loudly, especially the words 'Youzhi Lord' aggravated the voice. But he still received the gift of Wen Chou steadily.

Wen Chou was not annoyed, and glanced at the hoes, sickles and other agricultural tools piled up in the store and said, "I don't know when this "Wen's Iron Shop" was opened? ”

"This shop, but it only opened today, isn't this farming busy, I'm also here for the convenience of the people!" Wen Ji replied with a smile.

"Oh, it opened today, but the younger brother was unable to attend the opening ceremony of the eldest brother's store, please forgive me." Wen Chou laughed. Wen Chou's words seem to be polite words, but they also hide a sharp edge, which is really to blame Wen Ji for not taking him, the patriarch of the Wen clan, and the rank of Shahe Township in his eyes!

Wen Ji was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't want Wen Chou to say this, so he said with a smile: "You are busy with official business, how dare I, a small man in white, dare to work for you!" ”

"Hehe, the eldest brother said that he laughed, there is only Wen Chou Wen Zixiao here, and there is no rank in Shahe Township!" Wen Chou said.

"Hey, isn't this the second son of Patriarch Wen? How do you follow someone like a subordinate? Wen Ji glanced at Wen Ba, who was slightly anxious, and said, he also deliberately separated the relationship between Wen Chou and Wen Ba.

"Humph!" Wen Ba snorted coldly, looked over with disdain, and spat on the ground!

"Hehe, this is the wrong brother Zizhang, Ziyong is the township official I opened, and he is a county official. How can anyone say it? Wen Chou said-for-tat. Wen Chou himself was humiliated to nothing, but the people who followed him must not be manipulated by others! This is a principle that Wen Chou set earlier! Otherwise, who else will follow him!

"Oh, tsk, it's a villager, a real person who has ascended to heaven!" Wen Ji looked Wen Ba up and down, shaking his head and shaking his head.

Wen Ba had long wanted to burst out on one side, but he was held down by Yan Liang with his hand, and his face was flushed!

"Please also ask Brother Wen to respect himself!" Wen Chou saw that the more Wen Ji said, the more unseemly he became, and said strictly. Even the title has changed.

"Hehe, just kidding, Brother Zixiao is going to the official temple?" Wen Ji saw Wen Chou's solemn face, and said with a smile. He is not afraid of Wen Ba, because Wen Ba is just a reckless man, but he is a little afraid of Wen Chou in front of him, of course, this is also a view that has only changed recently, because of the defeat of more than 10,000 Black Mountain thieves, if it was before, Wen Chou was just a reckless man who was stronger than Wen Ba's martial arts in his eyes, at best he was still a reckless man!

"Exactly, there are still cases in the temple that need to be reviewed, so it won't disturb the eldest brother's business." Wen Chou said lightly, and without waiting for Wen Ji to reply, he took the horse and merged into the flow of people who came and went, followed by Yan Liang and Wen Ba.

Wen Ji looked at the three Wen Chou who were gradually moving away, and then looked at the farm tools piled up in the store, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "This Wen Chou is really not simple!" If you don't say goodbye here, if he doesn't let go, it means that he toasts and doesn't eat and drink, no wonder I'm ruthless.
