55, private visit to Yong, the city is full of maze and martingale

Gongsun Ying's nine bows and three bows to Yongcheng shocked the people who came to greet him. ~.

This famous man, who was the enemy of the nobles and murderous, came to remove all the officials of Yongcheng and deprive Yongcheng of all the nobles' property and privileges, and the behavior of his fifty attachés; Like a gust of wind, it swept away the rumors heard by the officials and nobles of Yongcheng. The people standing on both sides of the road, when the chief Zuo led the crowd to walk by, consciously bowed their hands to welcome the envoy of the lord into the city. The welcome drum on the city tower also rang out at the right time. The news of Zuo Shuchang's respect for Yongcheng spread throughout the city with the sound of the welcoming drums. The next day. After eating. Gongsun Ying asked the doctor to hang a "rest" card outside the door. He wants to visit Yongcheng privately, and if he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he can't believe any report to Yongcheng. He took the doctor, the close attendant warrior, and the three of them, dressed in Qianshou clothes, and slipped out of the Dazheng Palace where they lived through the back door. Gongsun Ying, who was waiting for the third summons of Duke Qin the year before last, came to Yongcheng with the help of Jing Jian. When he came to Yongcheng before last, he was just an ordinary Wei tourist, and he entered the inner city of Yongcheng without any reason or right, the original Qin Mansion. He could only take a look around the outer city of Yongcheng. At that time, he was wandering about the future, and with Ao Bao, he only cared about the agriculture, city defense, and army in Xia Yongcheng, and he didn't have the heart to see or care about the lives of merchants, heads of Qian, and officials. Therefore, as soon as the three of them came out of the Dazheng Palace, they couldn't find their way out of the inner city. The doctor and the attendant were similar to him, and the doctor only learned from the bamboo slips: Yong. The inner city is five miles long from north to south, and four miles wide from east to west. It is built in the four palaces of Dazheng, Yanyang, Qi Nian and Luquan, each of which is three miles apart. The water of the Huangshui branch flows into the front of the palace from the northwest, and then goes out of the city in the southeast and flows into the Yongshui. Remembering this, the doctor pointed to the canal in front of the Dazheng Palace and the visible inner city wall: "My lord! According to the brief record, this water may be the branch of the water that flows around the four palaces. It flows out of the inner city from the southeast and injects Yongshui. Shall we go downstream with this water? ”

Gongsun Martingale nodded in agreement. The three of them walked down the canal, walking and browsing the landscape of the magnificent inner city of Yongcheng. When the close samurai saw the four palaces for the first time, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the dedication, such a good palace could not be lived, but he had to go to Liyang to endure hardships. Gongsun Ying heard the whispers of the close attendant warrior to the doctor, and said, "Shut up! Xiangong moved east to Dongyang for the development of Qin to the east. How can the lord of a country only know the small profits in front of him? Find your way! The close samurai was just about to reproach himself when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Hey——! You wait for three, you wait for three Qianshou to stop! The shout came from a bend. In the midst of the shouting, three stubborn samurai came out of a clump of trees around the corner, shouting and running: "Hey——! You waited for the three Qianshou, why did you run into the palace? The doctor was clever and hurriedly replied, "Yes! We don't know. Seeing that the door was open, and the inside was beautiful, I thought it was the National Palace, right? I haven't seen it in my life, and I came in with my legs raised. But it's so big! We can't find our way out. When the samurai heard this, it turned out that he was looking at a few Qiantou who had lost their way, and he was kind to him: "Oh——, so." Wait a minute, go out through this door, this is not the place for you to wait for the head to come in. Let's go! The three of them hurriedly thanked them and walked out the way the sergeant had pointed out. I haven't walked half a mile out of the inner city. The three of them were stopped by the sergeant at the outer city gate, who stopped them and asked kindly, "Do you want to enter the city?" The doctor stepped forward respectfully and replied flatteringly, "Enter the city." Yes, I want to go into town! The sergeant defending the city said kindly: "Do you know the first order? It was the first order issued by Qin Guogong last year. The first order that was implemented by Zuo Shu Chang Martingale full-time? The doctor deliberately pretended to be confused here: "I'm a Qian, why do I need to know the first order?" I just know how to go into the city and see the excitement. The sergeant was not annoyed, and still said with a smile: "The three may have just arrived in Yongcheng, right?" I definitely don't know the rules of Yongcheng. The doctor was stunned for a moment, and asked stupidly, "What rules?" Are there any rules for going into the city? The sergeant proudly said, "Yes! Look at the Jique standing next to the city gate, which is the stone tablet where more than a dozen people are standing around. The doctor continued to pretend to be stupid: "What is there to look at a stone tablet, and there are so many people around?" The sergeant was a little upset: "Ah! Don't underestimate this stele. The inscription on it is the first order I just asked you. Anyone who enters Yongcheng, no matter who they are or what nationality they are, must recite the initial order before entering the city. The doctor will pretend to be stupid to the end: "Can't you do it if you don't carry it?" We're stupid. Let's go into town and have a look. The sergeant smiled, "No." This is for your good! The first order is all about the principles that you should know, and the good things that make you rich, rich, and meritorious service. When you memorize it, you know what to do and what not to do. If you can't memorize it, you don't know what the first order is, do you? You may have violated the law in the first order in a daze, and when you are punished, it will be too late to regret it. Let's learn to memorize. If you can't read, I'll teach you! This is true for anyone who enters the city for the first time. The close samurai still wanted to beg for mercy: "Carry them all?" The sergeant's eyes widened: "Of course." You see, that Rong man is also on his back! Gongsun Ying looked at the sergeant approvingly, and went up to recite it fluently. Ph.D. is also easy to pass. Only the close samurai recited it twice before they passed. The three of them entered Deyongcheng and walked straight to the Dongshi business district. As soon as I entered the East Market, I knew that Yongcheng really lived up to its reputation. The East Market is booming and noisy. Countless shops are shouting and selling their goods. Yongcheng's most famous Qin pottery, Qin utensils, and Qin utensils account for half of the East Market. All kinds of people, and even Hedong Six Kingdoms and Xirong people walked in and out of various stores. Gongsun Ying's view of a pottery shop surrounded by a bamboo fence was the most beautiful, with a banner of New Year's pottery swaying in the wind. He was about to go in, and saw that there was another pottery shop opposite the pottery, and it was also a cloth of the pottery in the wind, but the color was different. As soon as he asked passers-by, he realized that it was the two New Year pottery shops where the father and son were separated. The black is the Father, and the green is the Son. Gongsun Ying smiled, turned around and walked into his father's shop in Black Cloth.

"Hey! The shop is not small. The father and son opened a separate store, how about buying and selling? Wei Ying asked with a smile as he entered the door. The shopkeeper looked up and saw that the person who came was extraordinary, and although he was wearing a costume, he didn't dare to be sloppy. He greeted warmly: "It's difficult at the beginning, but now it's good!" I used to say that this kid was lazy and caused trouble everywhere. No, the first order*, he has an independent account. If he doesn't make a living, he will starve, and he will be arrested and used as official slaves. Looking at the storefront, he is very prosperous, and he knows that he has come to see his mother. This first order is really in response to the principle of being naturally lazy and diligent. I heard that the Zuo Shu chief who did the first order came to Yongcheng! I know no, I kowtowed to Yongcheng nine times! "The store has to go on.

Gongsun Ying pointed to a bronze pot on the table and asked the shopkeeper, "Can you show me this lotus petal and phoenix lid pot?" The shopkeeper was stunned and immediately told the customer: "This ——, this is my ancestral treasure pot." Not sold. ”
