Chapter 88: So This Is the People
There are guards patrolling the palace gate of Yanju Palace, and they stop everyone who leaves the palace for careful interrogation.
When they arrived at us, the eunuch took out a gold medal and introduced to them that I had entered the palace to deliver food, and the guards did not stop me.
There was a cart at the door, and a horse was tied to the front of the cart, but there was no groom in sight.
I got into the car, feeling a little excited because of the easy passage I had just passed.
Soon, the carriage moved.
Free, finally free.
The carriage is not a palace carriage, just like the carriage of the daughter of a rich family.
It's a good disguise.
I didn't ask where the carriage was going, but after a long drive, I heard a commotion from outside the carriage.
It was the sound of all kinds of shouting and selling.
Pickle seller: "Salted fish and radish pickles-"
Pinching the candy man: "Sugar man, little sugar man, do you want to eat sugar man?" ”
Looking at the appearance: "Chrysostom is straight!" Tong Su is not a bully! Hey, girl, I see you in front of the peach blossom ......"
Woman passing by: "Get out!" The old lady is already married! ”
I secretly lifted the curtains and found that the carriage had come to the market.
Historically, Yanju City was originally the old capital of the Southern Dynasty, and these palaces were sealed for hundreds of years until the mother emperor rebuilt them and used them. Although it was a palace, the people of the court did not drive away the people on the roadside. The Yanju people were able to live as usual.
In the market, people along the streets are hawking their wares, and pedestrians are shuttling through the middle of the road, which makes the carriage travel more slowly.
"Rouge, sell rouge!" When the vendor saw me in the sedan chair, he came to my window with a rouge in his hand, chased the carriage and said, "Miss, buy a box of rouge." ”
The groom was about to stop and drive away, but I stopped him and asked the vendor, "How much is this rouge?" ”
"Not much. It's only ten pennies! ”
Ten cents......
I touched it and realized that I didn't even have a penny.
When the peddler saw that I was in trouble, he shook his head and sighed and left.
I sat in the carriage and watched curiously as the people took out the copper plates and bought and sold.
The smell of meat came from the barbecue restaurant, and the vendor painted the hanging duck with oil; The popcorn on the side of the road was about to bloom, and a few young children covered their ears with joy and screamed wildly, as if the stove was about to collapse the world; The lady who sells vegetables desperately stuffs vegetables into the guests' bamboo baskets, regardless of whether it is more than half a catty......
Noisy street corners, crowds gather, and some people bang gongs to perform. Tongues of fire erupted from the mouth of the swarthy warrior from the Northern Regions, causing the audience to exclaim again and again, and some children were frightened, crying and wiping tears with the back of their hands.
On the side of the stall, there are girls who pull relatives and friends to shop around, walking the streets and alleys just to pick up the goods they like.
It's so hilarious......
It turns out that these are the people.
When I'm free, I'll have to go to the market.
Going east on the outskirts of the city, there is a hill through the woods.
A small wooden hut has been built on the hillside, and the outside of the wooden house is surrounded by a simple fence, which looks very simple.
"Here we are." The groom pulled up the carriage in front of the wooden house on the hillside and handed me a suite.
"Is it safe here?"
The groom said, "Niang Niang has arranged everything, please rest assured." No one will bother you here. He also said that there was mountain spring water at the back of the wooden house, and that he could use a stone stove to make a fire and cook rice, and he specially told me that it was prepared by the assorted lady.
"Thanks for informing." I surrendered to him like a charlatan.
He was startled, hurriedly returned the salute, and then pulled the carriage away.
Am I really free?
I stood in the courtyard and looked around.
It is surrounded by an open field, and if there is an opportunity in the future, maybe some fields can be cultivated on the mud to grow vegetables.
