Chapter 39: North City
Linjun is bordered by mountains in the south and rivers in the north, and there are only east-west city gates.
And Ai Gan and the others walked through the East City Gate.
After passing the east city gate, there is an avenue about six zhang wide, which leads directly to the county lord's mansion.
It is worth mentioning that this avenue was originally a completely dirt road, not to mention that it was difficult to walk in the rain and mud, and the sidewalks and transportation passages were mixed, resulting in traffic disorder, often caused by traffic jams caused by the flow of people occupying the transportation passages, or traffic accidents due to rampant traffic accidents.
It made Ji Xin, who had just become the county lord back then, feel a big headache.
It wasn't until Yuli returned to the village to visit his wife and told him that the fishing village had built a stone road at Ai Gan's suggestion that the problem of traffic chaos was improved.
Then, there are now four divisions.
That is, the road with a width of one and a half zhang on each side of the avenue is paved with stone slabs as sidewalks for people and only for people to walk, while the dirt road in the middle is a two-way transportation passage for all kinds of chariots, domestic animals and slave animals.
Of course, the two-way transport corridor is paved with horizontal stone paved roads every half mile to facilitate the movement of people on the sidewalks on both sides.
- Make traffic orderly.
Along the way, Ai Gannan looked north.
I saw people coming and going on the sidewalks on both sides, and the traffic on the transportation channel was busy, like a river of endless birdsong porridge porridge, so lively.
For the first time since his rebirth, Ai Gan felt the atmosphere of the city.
All kinds of shouts are endless.
Full of the breath of life.
So much so that he was in a trance, feeling like he had arrived in an ancient city.
And as the carriage approached the county lord's mansion, Ai Gan noticed a somewhat strange phenomenon.
When I first entered the castle, the surrounding houses were almost all stone houses, and after walking for a while, they were all wooden houses, but when I approached the county lord's house, the surrounding houses were all stone houses.
I really don't understand the way the houses are distributed like this.
┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
As for the county lord's mansion that is about to arrive, at first glance, it is not so much a mansion as a city within a city.
In terms of the height of the wall alone, the government wall even exceeds the county wall.
However, judging from the uneven height at the top of the house wall, it seems that it has only been raised recently, and it has not yet been completed.
And after entering the county lord's mansion, the pile of stones on the ground next to the inner wall of the mansion also proved this, and the mansion wall was adding a high school.
This made Ai Qian very curious.
Was it a preparation for war?
But that's not right.
If it is really for war preparation, it should also be to raise the county wall, so that the forest county can be better defended.
But if it's not war readiness, what's the use of raising the palace wall?
Idle and have nothing to do?
Hungry?
o( ̄┰ ̄*)ゞ
Well, that's kind of an insult to my friend Uncle Xin's IQ.
Raising the walls of the house should have his intentions.
Immediately, the idea of "class division" flashed in Ai Gan's mind.
The dignitaries inside the palace wall, and the civilians outside the palace wall are white.
But in an instant, he left this old-fashioned plot of corrupt officials behind.
Because Uncle Xin is not the kind of person who is arrogant.
On the contrary, I heard that although Uncle Xin is the lord of the county, he will take the lead in improving the people's livelihood and benefit the people of Lin County, which is very popular with the people.
So it is impossible for him to engage in such a self-destruction of the Great Wall.
(-'`-;)
I can't figure it out.
I feel like I'm stuck in a misthinking.
It can't be used to hide coquettishness, right?
It's not that Ai Qian looks down on Ji Xin, even if he borrows Ji Xin's ten guts, he is sure that Ji Xin won't dare to do this.
None of them.
Ai Gan looked back at the car and looked at Ji Xin, who was serving Yanxia hard, a typical wife and slave!
That's it, dare to mess around?
Don't say that where there is exploitation, there is resistance.
I'm afraid I don't want to die!
φ(゜▽゜*)♪
Coincidentally, Ji Xin just looked up.
Suddenly they looked at each other.
Then Ji Xin said angrily: "What are you looking at?
"Isn't that what you're seeing? Ai Qian said with a smile.
After speaking, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "By the way, Uncle Xin, I see that the wall of this county lord's mansion seems to be being raised, is it useful?"
"Want to know?" Ji Xin smirked.
Ai Gan couldn't help but scold, but he still nodded with a smile on his face: "Well, a little curious." ”
Ji Xin smiled and said with a wilted look: "Since you want to know, then I won't tell you." ”
can hang Ai Qian's appetite, he is very happy, and Xuan Xuan is very good.
And Ai Gan is indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart.
was carelessly pitted!
(`へ´)
Hum!
All right!
I can't help you, but there is always someone who can cure you.
So, Ai Gan looked at Yan Xia with a somewhat aggrieved face, and complained: "Aunt Yan Xia, look at Uncle Xin, it's so bad!"
Subconsciously, Yan Xia still treats Ai Gan as a six-year-old child, and she has always liked Ai Gan very much, so she naturally favors Ai Gan.
Then he glared sideways at Ji Xin, and said: "You said that you, you are such a big person, why are you still like a child, bullying the fish, you still have a sense of accomplishment, right? Look at you, why are you embarrassed to laugh now, hmm?"
The smile on Ji Xin's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly put it away.
If you don't listen to the words of the child's mother, I'm afraid that I will have to go to the house in front of outsiders, and it will be a big mess.
(__)ノ|璧
Alas, it's difficult.
Then he glanced at Ai Gan, and saw that Ai Gan was looking at him proudly, and he was grimacing, Ji Xin was suddenly angry.
Good boy, you know how to use this trick.
Do you dare to change your tactics?
Labor and management are not satisfied!
(╬▔Dish▔)
However, he was also hot at this moment.
Under Yan Xia's strong and pressing momentum, Ji Xin disarmed and surrendered in an instant, and said with a sneer: "Xia'er, it's not what you think, in fact, I'm just joking with Yu'er, it's a joke." ”
After arguing, he looked at Ai Gan, very unhappy but had to smile fakely: "Yu'er, did you say?"
Then without waiting for Ai Gan to speak, he hurriedly added: "By the way, the wall of the mansion is raised just in case." ”
This last sentence, Ji Xin believes that Ai Gan will understand.
For this reason, he also deliberately gave Ai Gan a look: You know.
Meaning I've told you what you want to know, shouldn't you say something nice for me?
However, he thought too much.
It is said that the IQ of a person in love is zero, so why not a wife and slave when they see their wives wielding?
Seeing Ai Gan turn around silently, Ji Xin was instantly dumbfounded.
(⊙ˍ⊙)
What about the tacit understanding at the time of the armistice?
What about a man's faithfulness?
What about mutual trust between people?
Suddenly, floating clouds shrouded Ji Xin's head.
However, it was not over, and after a second, the floating clouds turned into dark clouds.
Immediately, Ji Xin screamed.
Yanxia's family law is waiting!
Apricot eyes widened, raised his hand to pull Ji Xin's ear, and said angrily: "Okay, you, you don't have long eyes when you are an old lady, do you?
"If you dare to lie in front of me, then you want to go to heaven when I'm not there, huh?"
"Say, when I was away, you did something sorry for me behind my back!"
The more Yan Xia spoke, the more angry she became, and the more angry she became, the more she pulled Ji Xin's ears hard.
"Ouch, it hurts, Xia'er, I was wrong, lightly, I don't dare anymore. Ji Xin begged for mercy.
"What?" Yan Xia suddenly became even more angry when she heard this.
"You really dare to do bad things behind my back, okay, you, your wings are hard, right?"
As he spoke, his other hand twisted towards Ji Xin's waist, and his movements were so fierce that Ji Xin howled miserably.
Ji Xin wanted to cry without tears in his heart.
It's really wronged!
╥﹏╥...
He just said that he didn't dare to lie to her anymore, when did he say that he was doing bad things behind her back?
X﹏X
Alas......
The opposite is true.
At the head of the scaly carriage, Ai Gan was in a good mood.
Especially listening to Ji Xin's screams, I think it is very pleasant.
But soon, he put away his schadenfreude, lowered his voice and asked Yuli with some solemnity.
"Abba, is there going to be a war?"
"It's not for sure, it's just a possibility. Yuli also lowered his voice and said calmly. After Ji Xin told Ai Gan about the effect of raising the wall of the mansion, he knew that with Ai Gan's intelligence, he would definitely be able to think of it.
Ai Gan thought in his heart and then asked, "Abba, is it a national war or a tide of fierce beasts?"
"It's all possible. Yuli said calmly and truthfully.
"What!" Ai Gan's heart shook wildly, and he thought of a lot in an instant.
Lin County is located in the western frontier of Fumeng Country, and there is only one border county town, Wei County, separated from the neighboring minions to the west.
It is said that the northern border of the Minions is the frontier against the fierce beasts.
Every year in Jumang (spring), the fierce beasts that are eyeing the Terrans will gather on a large scale, and under the leadership of high-level fierce beasts, they will attack the Terran city.
However, this is what happened in the northern border of the Minion Country, and it is still separated from the Fumeng Country by the eastern part of the Minion Country, so it stands to reason that the tide of fierce beasts will not reach the Fuyu Country.
But Yuli said, it's all possible!
Doesn't this mean that the country has changed?
Only in this case can Linjun suffer the double blow of the tide of fierce beasts and the national war.
At this time, Yuli confidently reassured: "Don't worry, it's just possible." Even if it really happens, there is still Wei Jun in front of him, and he will not attack it all at once. Even if you attack it, you can still return to the fishing village, with the Misty Forest as a barrier, and that place as a backup, and it will be fine. ”
Ai Gan thought about it, too.
It's just a possibility, but it's not a certainty.
Even if it had to, it wouldn't reach him.
Worry about shoveling!
Immediately, my heart settled down.
And the backyard of the county lord's mansion is close at hand at this time.
Suddenly.
The fish stopped the carriage.
After repeatedly explaining that Ji Xin, who was temporarily let go by Yan Xia, got out of the car and led the way, led everyone through the main hall, and came to the back room for dinner.
Hua Rong and Yanxia's mother and daughter had little appetite due to the fatigue of the journey, so after eating something casually, they put down the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to rest.
So, after a while, Hua Rong was taken to his rest room by the quickly eaten fish power.
Yanxia's mother and daughter went back to Ji Xiaoxue's boudoir.
And Ji Xin, who went to send his wife and daughter, was dumbfounded.
Isn't the baby going to go back to their resting room?
I haven't seen each other for a while, shouldn't we talk to each other about our hearts, and then do something by the way?
For example, help Xiao Ji Xin and Xiao Yanxia solve the pain of lovesickness?
( ̄『 ̄)
However, what responded to Ji Xin's expectant look was the merciless sound of the door closing.
(°ー°〃)
Ji Xinden was stunned.
Why?
How can this be?
It shouldn't be like this!
Immediately, cool.
But what about the burning desire?
... ( __)ノ|wall
Finished.
Stand still.
Ji Xin sighed helplessly, resisted the urge to look down at his right hand, and turned away in frustration.
Tonight, destined to be tormented......
Following.
It was nearly half way through.
After a night's rest, Ji Xiaoxue, who was full of energy, came to Ai Gan's door and knocked on the door.
"Little fish, it's time to get up, the sun is going to dry your ass. ”
Less.
The door was opened from the inside.
Ai Gan walked out of it, rubbing his eyes, yawning, and sleepy-eyed.
No way, Ji Xin couldn't sleep last night, and originally planned to find Yuli to drink, but Yuli didn't come out again after sending Hua Rong back to the room.
In this regard, Ji Xin is both envious and emotional, the same person is not the same life!
So, I had to pull Ai Gan and chat with Ai Gan while drinking alcohol.
Of course, it's not just gossip.
At the beginning, Ji Xin was quite concerned about how Ai Gan practiced after becoming a warrior, what kind of bull boxing he practiced, and wanted to know how to give some advice or something.
In short, knocking on the side is intended to be powerful.
Ai Gan understood after hearing this, so he talked about him left and right.
Seeing this, Ji Xin suddenly lost the interest in getting to the bottom of the matter, and poured a few sips of wine a little depressedly, and then talked about women.
To be exact, I should have been thinking about Yanxia, plus I was slightly drunk, and I felt it.
Ai Gan, who originally planned to sit for a while and then go back to rest, stayed for the time being because of this topic.
Then one spoke, the other listened, but they were all deeply touched by their respective circumstances in terms of women.
Then it was out of control.
It wasn't until Ji Xin was drunk and unconscious that Ai Gan confided in his heart, and sadly took the wine that Ji Xin hadn't finished drinking to drown his sorrows.
So, there is this scene in front of me.
Because Ai Gan slept late last night and drank alcohol, he was woken up before he could sleep well, and he couldn't help but doze off, and his brain was still a little confused.
Immediately, I couldn't help but complain: "Sister Xue'er, I'm sleeping well this morning, isn't it disturbing my dreams when you shout outside the door?"
After speaking, Ai Gan felt a little cold around him, and suddenly shivered, and he was much more sober.
Then he noticed that Ji Xiaoxue's expression was a little sad, and he felt bad.
I can't help but think of the scene where Yanxia's family served Ji Xin yesterday, it was so vivid, miserable, I couldn't help but feel a spirit, and I completely sobered up.
Immediately, it is time to explain.
It's a pity that it's too late to make amends.
At this time, because there were only the two of them, Ji Xiaoxue didn't have to worry about her image at all, she directly exposed her true nature, twisted one hand to Ai Gan's arm, and gritted her teeth: "Is it?
Hiss......
Ai Gan grinned in pain, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Sister Xue'er, it hurts, it hurts, don't screw it, I was wrong!"
"Don't screw it, Sister Xue'er, I was confused just now, you don't care about the villain, forgive me. ”
"Hmph, if I don't screw you for a day, you will have itchy skin, you deserve it!" After saying angrily, Ji Xiaoxue let go.
Ai Gan thought it was finally over, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result, in the next second, Ji Xiaoxue pulled his ears.
"Ouch!"
"Hmph, now it depends on whether you have a long memory, next time you dare to talk to me like this, I will definitely not spare you!" Ji Xiaoxue threatened.
"Sister Xue'er, it hurts, it hurts, let go, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, I definitely have a long memory. Ai Gan begged for mercy again and again.
Ji Xiaoxue's anger was almost relieved at this time, and seeing that Ai Gan's attitude of admitting his mistake was okay, she let go of her hand, "Hmph, remember what you said." ”
After speaking, she was a little uneasy, afraid that Ai Gan would perfunctory her, so she raised her small fist and threatened: "Remember, otherwise, I want you to look good!"
"Mmmmmmmm, Sister Xue'er, don't worry, I will definitely remember. Ai Gan hurriedly nodded and promised, for fear of being abused again.
Then, seeing Ji Xiaoxue nodding with satisfaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But I can't help but think of yesterday's schadenfreude Ji Xin.
Look at yourself now.
Is this karma?
Alas......
Sure enough, it's a good reincarnation, who will the heavens spare!
(;´д`)ゞ
Afterwards, Ji Xiaoxue waited in front of the door, and took Ai Qian to breakfast after he washed up.
The main hall is in the back room.
When the two arrived, Ai Qian found that only Hua Rong and Yan Xia were eating breakfast, and couldn't help asking, "Grandma, where are Abba and Uncle Xin?"
Hua Rong beckoned, motioned for Ai Gan to come and sit down for breakfast, and said at the same time, "Your father and your Uncle Xin went out after breakfast early in the morning." ”
"Oh. Ai Gan immediately came over and sat down, and then tried the temperature of the porridge, which was just right, not hot, so he snorted and ate it with pickles.
After breakfast.
Yan Xia is going to take Hua Rong's mother and son to visit the most lively place in Linjun - North City.
Because the North City is near the water and has a wharf, the trade from the surrounding areas will come here if they want to transport it to other areas by water, and those who trade by water in other areas will also come here regularly to trade or transit, so a commercial market has been formed here.
It's very lively.
Immediately, a group of four people took a scaly carriage, driven by the old servant Ji Qing, and set off for Beishi.
Nearly a moment later.
Arrive.
Ji Qing had no interest in shopping, so he stayed where he was and guarded the carriage.
Ai Gan was going to go to various shops to take a good look at what items were being traded.
However, although his idea was good, he did not catch up with the change.
Hua Rong and Yan Xia's mother and daughter profoundly implemented the six-character mantra.
Shop and shop!
Never get tired of it.
Start at the entrance with a ready-to-wear shop, a powder shop, and a jewelry shop.
Whenever you meet your favorite, you bargain, you say a word, and you just push the price close to the cost price to buy, so that the seller has no temper at all.
If you are tempted, shop around and decide where to buy.
As a result, sometimes they have gone far and have to turn back and bargain for it.
In this way, nearly halfway through the middle of the year, the three girls finally finished shopping, but they were still a little unsatisfied.
As for Ai Gan, as a coolie, he followed and was responsible for carrying things all the way, not only did he have no time to hang out, but he almost collapsed.
From the halfway point of the morning to the beginning of the day, it is now nearly half of the middle hour, and it has been nearly five hours of shopping!
O(≧ mouth ≦) O
In the past five hours, Ai Gan followed the three girls to stop and go, in and out, back and forth, tossing and turning, and his head was big.
In the end, every minute and every second spent is as long as years, tormenting, and painful!
He vowed never to go out with many women again next time.
No!
Even if it's a girl, I won't go out together.
It's horrible!
