Chapter 147 River State

Yang Yiqing analyzed a lot of things, and the logic was right, but it was not what Jiang Banxia thought in her heart, and she was not angry.

She was just reflecting on her recent attitude towards He Qiaoyi.

Is something too good?

At noon, the carriage of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce passed by this official road as scheduled, and four or five carriages were driving one after the other, and they immediately stopped when they saw someone stopping the car.

These drivers who drive cars for Zhejiang merchants and horse dealers like to meet passers-by who stop their cars on the road.

The car dealership collects most of the money, and they can only get paid on a monthly basis, but it is different to pull people on the road, they can put the fare into their own pockets.

So seeing Jiang Banxia and a few people, the coachman was very kind.

When the coachman saw that they were dressed properly, he thought that they should be wealthy merchants, so he opened his mouth and greeted: "Masters, it's not a coincidence now, there is only no shed left, if you don't dislike it, squeeze it." ”

Dislike, how can it be disgusted.

Yang Yiqing couldn't walk, and the horses stayed on the other side, and it was the best thing for them to have a carriage to ride.

Zhu Tan asked, "Five people, how to calculate the price?" ”

The leading coachman rolled his eyes and immediately reported the amount of money: "Count you cheaper, ten small flat dollars for one person, and fifty for five people." ”

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage itself is more expensive than riding an ox cart, not to mention a car in a car dealership, which is affordable.

Zhu Tan paid the money, and a few of them got into the car.

According to their situation, it is possible to take a free car to the post station with the seal letter, but now that the river is crossed, and then in order to take the free car to the post station, it is a bit of a contradiction, but it delays time.

……

The coachman raised his whip, and the horse neighed before lifting his hooves and moving forward slowly.

At this time, a half-dead man suddenly rolled out of the road ahead, and the frightened coachman hurriedly reined in his horse.

The coachman scolded in a local dialect and said, "Where did the melon peel come from!" Drill under the hooves without long eyes!"

The loess road on the official road turned into fine powder after being exposed to the scorching sun, and the man rolled twice and immediately became a round native.

The coachman with his back against the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce was also more courageous than elsewhere, and he was about to whip the man lying on his stomach in front of the horse as soon as he raised his whip.

He whipped it, and the man dodged in response.

"Where did you come from?" before the coachman could say anything, a piece of broken silver was thrown in his face, and he swallowed it back hard.

"Hitchhiking." The half-dead people climbed into the carriage where Jiang Banxia was sitting with their hands and feet.

This kind of carriage without a shed can seat eight or nine people at a time, and after sitting on them, there is still a piece of land left for them, and after the person shrunk up, he grinned and showed Bai Sensen's teeth and smiled at Jiang Banxia and them: "Benefactor, we meet again." ”

After saying that, he took off the cloth wrapped around his head, and a bald head was exposed to everyone's sight.

"Caught up with you all the way, and finally caught up." The man complained, "You went so fast that you almost lost it." ”

This kind of familiar tone is very unbeatable.

But who are the people present, they are all people who have done great things, and they have always ignored such inexplicable people.

The man was not discouraged, and introduced himself: "Under the surname Ao, the word is auspicious." ”

Aoji? This name is a bit strange, the surname Ao is rarely used in the Central Plains, but there are more people with the surname Ao in Hezhou, probably related to Shaomin.

Jiang Banxia stared at the person named Ao Ji carefully, his eyebrows were deep, and his two eyes were a little variegated, which was different from the black-brown pupils of the Han people, but in terms of accent, this person did speak a standard Northwest official dialect, and it was unlikely that he was a fan.

Ao Ji saw that Jiang Banxia was looking at him, not only was he not annoyed, but he stared back, the corners of his lips rose upward, and a smile came out, which made his whole person reveal an exotic style.

"It can't be a skewer, right?" He Qiaoyi whispered to Yang Yiqing, usually he said this kind of witticism to Jiang Banxia, but today he knew that he had made Jiang Banxia unhappy, and he didn't dare to come forward again, so he grabbed Yang Yiqing, who was a bully, and nagged.

Skewers are used in animals to refer to the hybridization of different species, but when used in people is mixed blood, Da Ming up to the nobility down to the common people, has always attached great importance to the bloodline, the heart of the row is obvious to all, all because of the policy of the fourth class Han people in the previous dynasty, the blood and tears recorded are beyond words.

Therefore, the folk will form a style of arrangement, most of the children born of mixed blood with the same people have a difficult life, such people are not respected in Daming, and they are also not recognized when they return to the tribe, most of them live in the border towns and do some small businesses, barely making ends meet.

It is precisely because of this desperate state of life that many such people will take risks to do some things that collude with others inside and outside to violate the law and discipline, and the local compliance order is very troublesome about this.

The carriage of the car company walked slowly on the official road, the sun scorched the ground, and the loess flew all the way.

Experienced people had already covered their mouths and noses with headscarves, and Jiang Banxia and the others, who had just arrived, were blown apart.

The freshly washed face was gray again.

Half a day later, when the sun was waning, they finally arrived at Hezhou City, and from a distance, they saw that the walls of Hezhou City were yellow and muddy, and they were made of loess.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, orange and yellow are mixed in the epidemic, and there is only the illusion of a long river setting sunset.

Xu is a literati is sensitive in his heart, and Yang Yiqing recited a few sour poems, which caused people in the same car to look sideways.

In the past few years, Jin Gui, who is a scholar, not to mention that it is stuffed here, and few people know how to read, Yang Yiqing was quickly pulled by several old men to ask about the name.

Although Hezhou City is located in the west of the border, but it is a prosperous faction, the soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city are lazy and lazy leaning there, passers-by take the road to lead him to see, do not take it and do not care.

This kind of place is a three-regardless zone, and it doesn't matter whether you have a household registration or not, what matters is whether you can beg for food in this city.

The shadow of the sun is slanting to the west, shining into the hole of the city gate, the light and shadow outline the two worlds of black and white, Jiang Banxia looks up, the city wall made of soil is old, and the swallows have built a nest in the mottled hole above.

Once through the city gate hole, the eyes suddenly brightened, the houses in the city of Hezhou are lined up one after another, the height is staggered, the commercial houses on both sides of the market are full of colorful flags, red and green are intertwined, this magical aesthetic benefits from the fusion of multiple nationalities, sometimes in the evening, the smoke curls up, the air is filled with the wheat fragrance of cooking cakes, and the rich fragrance of beef and mutton stew is hard to drill into the nose.

They came by chance, and they met a marriage, and the lanterns and cannons rang non-stop.

Marrying in Hezhou City is very casual, all according to the customs of their respective hometowns, in case the man and the woman are one south and one north, the wedding will be held for two days, one day according to the customs of the man's family, and one day according to the customs of the woman's family.

Most of these people who settled in Hezhou were wealthy businessmen, and money abounded, and when they met a marry, they coaxed people to come to the door to give gifts and guests, so that the lord's house had nowhere to stay.

The people of Hezhou are fierce and welcoming.
