Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Zhi, and The Biography of Du Chen

"Ah, finally out of the village." Thinking of the time before leaving the village, his parents made a little bit for himself, and Du Chen was very moved.

"Chen'er, when you go out, be careful." As he spoke, Li handed Du Chen a cloth bag, "Clothes or something are in it, there are some food, and there are some scraps of copper coins in the innermost, you can take them to save some flowers." ”

"Well, mother, I see." Du Chen said with tears in his eyes.

"It's not too early, let's hit the road early." Du Teng looked at the time and reminded Du Chen to hurry up.

"Alright, Daddy, the baby is gone." And Li grabbed Du Chen's sleeve and refused to let go, and there were tears in his eyes. Look at the mother like this. Du Chen was a little at a loss. "Mother, you ......," Li wiped his eyes. It's okay, my mother just can't bear you, you haven't left your mother since you were a child, so. ”

"Okay, stop crying. Xiaochen is not going to go back forever, maybe he will be back in a few days. Du Teng persuaded.

"I know, but ......"

"Don't be there." Du Teng interrupted Lee's words. "If you don't leave quickly, Xiaochen will be sleeping in the mountains and forests."

Hearing this, Li let go of the hand holding Du Chen, and said to Du Chen with care: "Be careful on the dusty road. Come back sooner. ”

"Mother, don't worry, you won't lose the face of Dujia Village. Father and mother take care, the child is gone. After speaking, Du Chen picked up the cloth bag and strode out of the door.

Looking at the distant back, the tears in Li's eyes began to fall uncontrollably. "Okay, stop crying. Xiaochen has grown up, and he can't always be chained to his side. Seeing that his wife was crying again, Du Teng hurriedly comforted. Okay, it's already far away, let's go back to the house. Du Chen, who said goodbye to his parents, walked briskly on the country road, out of the village, Du Chen's mood was a little low, his mother's appearance, how much he couldn't bear it, but after thinking about it, he would soon be able to see Xuzhou City, Du Chen's heart couldn't help but be full of expectations.

Out of the village, outside the village are fields one by one. The breeze is blowing, and the wheat seedlings are shaking gently, as if they want to shake their spirits, and they use all their strength to jump up! Look at the wheat fields that are growing happily. Du Chen's mood was very happy, but at the same time he was worried. I am happy that there will be a good harvest this autumn, and I am worried about the natural disasters that will precede the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the future. I don't know how long it will be until the Yellow Turban Uprising. But now the crops are quite good, and there should still be some years.

"Alas...... it is really prosperous, and the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer! Du Chen sighed.

Half a month later, Du Chen came to Xuzhou City.

This is Xuzhou City?!

Far away, Du Chen had already seen that behemoth, that simple and quaint feeling, that majestic and tall feeling, which suddenly made Du Chen speechless with excitement.

This is the city of the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China......

I never thought I would be able to see it with my own eyes......

Xuzhou has jurisdiction over 62 counties in the three countries of Donghai, Langxie, Pengcheng, Guangling and Xiapi. It is about the land of Jiangsu Province, the southern border of Shandong Province, the accommodation of Anhui Province, and the two counties of Si.

Donghai County, Zhitan County (now north of Tancheng City, Shandong). 13 counties: Tan County, Xiangben, Lanling, Cheng County, Yinping, Qi County, Changxi, Hexiang, Zhuqi, Licheng, Ganyu, Qu County, Houqiu.

Lang evil country, governing Kaiyang (now Beidaichengzi, Linyi, Shandong). Led 13 counties, Juxian, Dong'an, Dongguan, Gumu, Zhuxian, Dongwu, Langxie, Gouqu, Yangdu, Linyi, Kaiyang, Jiqiu, Zhangguo.

This is Xuzhou City, and it is an important city during the Three Kingdoms period, unlike later generations, like Hangzhou, Beijing and the like, although it still retains the afterglow of the ancient city, but it is difficult to excite the world.

Unlike now, there are no high-rise buildings, no car horns, and at a glance, the city wall and the city gate all make Du Chen's heart surge.

Antique and antique, it's all nonsense, how can this pure ancient atmosphere be imitated?

Du Chen gradually walked towards the city gate, which was the city gate in the south of Xuzhou City.

Majestic ......

This is Du Chen's feeling about the city gate of Xuzhou City......

This gate alone is two stories high...... Look at the width again, tsk, five or six cars can be parallel...... Forehead...... It's a carriage.

Under the city gate stood two rows of armor soldiers wearing armor and holding heavy spears, and the kind of murderous eyes made Du Chen dare not look at each other.

As soon as I looked up, there were two big characters chiseled above the city gate...... Xuzhou ......

After paying the poll tax outside the city gate, Du Chen was able to enter the city, ", there are so many poll taxes, it's over, where do you live today?" Alas, a penny is hard to beat a hero! What to do? Whether to sell calligraphy and paintings or write letters for others, Du Chen thought seriously.

Du Chen used the rest of the money to buy the four treasures of the study, decided to go to the Confucius Temple to set up a stall, arrived at the Confucius Temple, and the owner of a small teahouse for a long time, and promised to write two letters for him, and set up a stall at the door of his teahouse, but unfortunately the business is not very good, the people who write letters here are not a few big characters, who cares how you write. Du Chen waited for a long time and had no business, when he was sad, a little woman in Tsing Yi came over, Du Chen looked at her outfit, and knew that it was a **, but she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, which was really pitiful. She said timidly: "Sir, the slave family wants to write a sub-petition." Du Chen picked up the pen and said, "What is the situation, who are you going to sue?" ”

She said with some surprise: "The slave family's husband unfortunately died, and the slave family wanted to remarry, but the father-in-law did not agree. Du Chen asked a few more specific words, picked up the pen and wrote: "Seventeen married, eighteen widows, strong uncles, melon fields and plums, marry or not?" She looked at Du Chen's handwriting inexplicably and asked, "Sir, these words are too few." ”

Du Chen said proudly: "Don't worry, this case will be handed over to ensure that the government agrees to your remarriage." The little woman gave it to Du Chen, Du Chen looked at the copper coin with gratitude, and thought, today's dinner is here, and I have to work hard, but tomorrow's money is not there? Then Du Chen had no business again. After less than an hour, I saw that the little ** came back happily, and when he saw Du Chen, he said gratefully: "Sir, thank you for your appearance, as soon as the adults see my appearance, they will be approved." ”

Du Chen thought to himself, of course, you must know that I saw a similar scene in a TV series in my previous life, and the current Three Kingdoms period attaches great importance to ethics and morality.

As soon as this little ** left, Du Chen's business got better, and when he saw it at night, it was enough for two or three days of room money, of course, Du Chen didn't dare to write more complaints, if someone came to write a complaint, Du Chen always changed the law to persuade him not to sue, not for anything else, writing too many lawsuits would damage Du Chen's reputation.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!" Lying in the room, Du Chen said to himself.
