Chapter 2: The sullen shopkeeper
Out of the gate of the border army general's mansion, Fang Xie stepped on the thick snow and walked all the way to the direction of Jinyuanfang. Because the snow is so thick, the sound of stepping on it is very clear.
"Fang Jie, I heard that I went out to kill the thief today?"
Aunt He, who came out not far away to pour dirty water for washing clothes, asked with a smile.
This is a woman who insists that she was as delicate and beautiful as a flower ten years ago, maybe life is really a piece of fat fat, and she has only fed a flower for ten years and turned a flower into a bucket waist with a pockmarked face, but there is no doubt that this does not prevent Aunt He from still being proud.
"Yes, Aunt He has been handsome again recently, and the daughter-in-law of the old Chen family who passed through the door a few days ago didn't look pleasing to your eyes."
"Oops...... Are you kid just now discovering that the old lady is better than the flower? When the old lady walked on the rivers and lakes, the people who chased the old lady could line up from Fangu City to the imperial capital. ”
"Aunt He, your words can be regarded as speaking to my heart, and every time I see you, I have a pleasing feeling. It's like sitting on a green meadow and admiring a blooming flower in the warm spring season, not to mention enjoying it more. ”
Aunt He's round face turned red, and she couldn't help but twist and ask, "Then what kind of flower does the old lady look like?" ”
Fang Xie thought carefully for a moment, and then said sincerely: "Trumpet flower." ”
"For what?"
Aunt He was stunned and asked a little puzzled.
Fang Xie looked at Aunt He's huge breasts and round face, and then praised sincerely: "The higher you go, the bigger it gets." ”
"Fang Juexiao!"
A cry of rage exploded in the alley, and then someone jumped out of the alley like a lost dog, with a staggering speed, and then a huge wooden basin flew out of the alley, fell to the ground with a thud.
Fang Xie only felt that there was wind in his ears, and he thought proudly in his heart that it seemed that his light skills had improved a lot in the past few days.
Before he ran out of Lu and walked thirty steps away, he heard Aunt He shouting in the back with a voice that could shake the entire Fan Gu City: "Fang Juexiao, the old lady arranged to take you on a blind date the day after tomorrow, she is the daughter of the old Wu family in the east of the city, if you dare to be late, the old lady will smash your Jinyuanfang signboard!" ”
Fang Xie immediately paused, looked back at Aunt He and asked, "Smash Jin Yuanfang...... Don't you want your dividends anymore? ”
Aunt He crossed her waist and roared: "Just tell the old lady if you want to go!" ”
Before Fang Xie could answer, the doors and windows of every house on the street opened one after another, and a girl stood by the window and shouted eagerly: "Fang Juexiao, if you dare to go on a blind date, I will jump down!" ”
"Fang Juexiao, if you dare to find another woman, I will become a nun now!"
"Fang Juexiao! You bad guy! ”
A woman was furious and said, "Fang Juexiao! If you dare to fail my daughter, I will chop your life - feed the dogs! ”
Some young women wept sadly, regretting why they had married so early.
Only the widow Sun, who was only twenty-six years old and had been widowed for five years, leaned against the door frame and knocked on the melon seeds and said softly: "Xiao Fang Jie, I will come often when I take my daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Fang Xie dared to stay longer, and a little bit under his feet rushed out like a cannonball. When he rushed past Widow Sun's door, he suddenly stopped violently and then quickly pinched Widow Sun's full chest: "Every time, you don't like to mess up, always let me carry the black pot, if I really eat you, it's just that, peeking at you taking a bath, do you want to take revenge on me for the rest of your life......"
pinched it, it felt very good, Fang Xie couldn't help but pinch it again, and even accurately found the raised position through the thick cotton clothes: "This is interest!" ”
After Fang Xie succeeded, he immediately began to run again, leaving the red-faced Widow Sun to drop a field of melon seeds.
Thinking that this time it was really that little thing, Widow Sun couldn't help but get angry: "Fang Juexiao, if you have the ability, you can touch it next time!" ”
Fang Xie turned around and shouted as he ran: "I won't be fooled a second time!" Looking at the drum...... How many layers of cotton have you padded? ”
Widow Sun's face was embarrassed, and she hid her face and went back to the room and did not dare to look back.
Answer: Widow Sun in the room unbuttoned her blouse, took out a large ball of soft cloth from the dirty clothes, and threw it on the ground, Widow Sun said to herself with a slight anger: "If the old lady doesn't raise it, can you catch it?" ”
But as soon as she remembered that she was separated by such a thick thing just now, Fang Xie could actually touch a certain point accurately, and her face couldn't help but be red and hot.
"...... The old lady was actually molested by a half-old boy. ”
Thinking of this, Widow Sun stood up violently and her face was resolute.
It's so easy to eat my tofu, let the old lady seize the opportunity and squeeze your tofu brain in one go! Widow Sun standing in the house was like a fighter, with high morale. At this time, the little daughters-in-law and girls who were standing at the window and watching Fang Xie run away were blurred, and some people couldn't help but look at the back nymphomaniac and said: "It's so handsome to run......"
Ah!
Someone at the corner of the street slipped and fell forward, handsome and handsome.
……
……
Fangu is the northwestern border city of the Great Sui, and this small city with a radius of only three and a half miles is the outpost of the northwest border of the Great Sui. Less than sixty miles to the west of the city gate, there is a mountain range that is not tall and majestic, and the north-south direction is endless, and in the words of the border troops in the city of Fan Gu, that mountain bag is like countless milk-children.
In fact, this mountain range is called the Wolf Milk Mountains, and it is said that the royal family of the Mengyuan Empire, which has a ruling position in the endless steppes, are the descendants of the blue wolf, and their ancestors were born in this mountain range.
But what makes the people of the Mengyuan Empire a little sad and helpless is that since the rise of the empire called the Great Sui in the southeast, this mountain range no longer belongs to them completely. Of course, it doesn't exactly belong to the Great Sui.
One hundred and twenty years ago, after Yang Jian, Emperor Gaozu of the Great Sui, established the country, the Great Sui army continued to expand its territory outward, and never lost a single battle in hundreds of battles in the past 30 years.
It wasn't until the Great Sui's army fought westward to the Wolf Milk Mountains that the Mengyuan Empire, the most powerful empire in the West, could no longer tolerate the aggressiveness of the emerging kingdom of the Great Sui. 400,000 iron horsemen came out of the grassland and crossed the Wolf Milk Mountain Range to attack the Sui army, but what really made people a little speechless was that the grassland spirit cavalry, who was known as invincible in the world, did not take advantage of the decisive battle with the 120,000 guards of the Great Sui.
Although the Great Sui army lacked war horses, the formation of their elite infantry in a hundred battles was as strong as the Yanshan Mountains in the south. 400,000 Mengyuan cavalry killed 110,000, and the elite soldiers of the Great Sui also lost 40,000. Unwilling to be frustrated, the Mengyuan Empire mobilized heavy troops, and Meng Kuo, known as the Heavenly Khan, personally led 200,000 Golden Horde cavalry to support, and happened to meet Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, who also personally led the army.
The elite soldiers of the 100,000 Great Sui Left Wuwei, the Right Wuwei, the Left Xiaowei, and the Left Imperial Guard encountered the 200,000 Golden Horde cavalry of the Mengyuan Empire.
Since then, the two sides have fought fiercely for six years, the Mengyuan Empire could not regain face, and the newborn Great Sui was unable to enter the grassland, and finally the two sides signed an agreement at the foot of the Wolf Milk Mountain, with the Wolf Milk Mountain Range as the boundary, the west of the Wolf Milk Mountain Range is the territory of the Mengyuan Empire, and the east of the Wolf Milk Mountain Range is the territory of the Great Sui.
So there is the border city of Fangu on the side of the Wolf Milk Mountain, and there is the stone town called Nirvana on the side of the Wolf Milk Mountain.
Nearly 100 years have passed since the agreement, and the two sides are still at peace. But whether it is the Great Sui or the Mengyuan, the successive emperors have all wanted to really defeat each other and achieve eternal prestige.
The Great Sui is located in the Central Plains agriculture and animal husbandry, lacking all kinds of skins, jade, cattle and sheep, especially without war horses, can not go deep into the grassland to fight. The Mengyuan Empire lacked iron, salt, brocade, tea and wine from the Central Plains, and their infantry was too weak to be able to face the many cities in the Central Plains.
The Fan Gu border army on this side of the Wolf Milk Mountain Range, and the wolf riders in Nirvana City over there all wanted to take down the other party's town one day, and then ride on the head of the opponent's soldier to pull a piece of. But three years ago, after Yang Yi, the sixth emperor of the Great Sui, met with Meng Ge, the thirtieth khan of the Mengyuan Empire, Fan Gucheng had another identity.
market
The merchants of the Great Sui could transport the goods in demand from the grassland to the city of Fangu in exchange for cattle, sheep, skins, and jade in the hands of the herdsmen of the grassland. The first day, the eighth day of the first month, the eleventh day, the eighteenth, the twenty-first and the twenty-eighth day of each month are the open days of the market, in order to exchange for the necessary salt tea and brocade cloth, the herdsmen have to line up outside the city gate early, regardless of cold or heat.
In the eyes of these herdsmen, the Great Sui border army in Fangu City was truly disgusting. But no one dared to make trouble, because Li Xiaozong, the general of the border army, was a very fair and strict person, and all the herdsmen who made trouble would be whipped for 30 at best, or cut off their heads and hung on the flagpole to show the public. So the herdsmen hated him and feared him.
Not only that, but if the merchants of the Central Plains had treacherously deceived the herdsmen, or if Li Xiaozong had been informed of the forced buying and selling, the same heavy punishment would be correct. The rules are still simple, depending on the seriousness of the situation, the light is 30 lashes, and the worst is to cut off the head and hang it on the flagpole to show the public. So the herdsmen respected him and loved him.
It should be noted that none of the people who have been flogged for 30 have survived five days.
It should be noted that the whip used for execution was full of copper coins, and the flesh and blood were blurred when the whip went down. Therefore, the only difference between flogging thirty and beheading is that the person who was tortured in the former was barely able to leave a whole corpse that could still be seen in human form.
But Li Xiaozong, the general of the border army, also said that bullying the grassland people is nothing, but it is not good to break the rules of Fan Gucheng, if those grassland people are forced not to come, the silver of hundreds of thousands of taels of white flowers every year will be gone, which is absolutely intolerable.
……
……
The eighth day of the second month is the day when the trade market is open. The herdsmen honestly paid the entry tax at the city gate, and then rushed to the market to exchange what they needed. And at noon, Fan Gucheng began to become more lively. Herdsmen with surplus money and merchants from the Central Plains who have made money will flock to restaurants, green buildings, and casinos. Therefore, on the day of the market, what the Qinglou woman hates the most is that she is inconvenient at this time, and she earns less money in the bounty in the benefactor's pocket.
The herdsmen respect the brocade and tea of the Central Plains, and what they admire even more is the white skin and beauty of the Central Plains women. Although there is no shortage of beauty among the prairie women, most of them have to graze in the wind and sun, so their skin is very dark, and their waists are as thick as buckets. Compared with the women in the Qinglou who are slightly powdered, they are simply one in the sky and one on the ground.
These herdsmen are all bold, basically they will not leave Fangu City with their spare money, they only need to take the goods with them, and the five baht money of the Great Sui has no meaning to them. Therefore, the girl in the building prefers the grassland herdsmen, and the merchants in the Central Plains are very stingy.
In fact, the main purpose of many herdsmen coming to Fangu City is not to exchange goods, but to enter the three buildings of Fangu for recreation and excitement.
The so-called third floor is the guest residence, the red sleeve move, and the Jinyuan Fang.
A restaurant, a green building, a gambling building.
