Chapter 944: The Official Post
She has been running around for a while, living in different places every day, and after waking up, she suddenly saw the unfamiliar furnishings in the house, and it took her to get used to it for a while before she realized where she was.
There was a lot of noise outside, and I could only hear someone shouting, "We arrived early!" The money was also given! In everything, it is necessary to come first and come first! β
Although the other person's voice was a little quieter, it was a bit official, and he was very reasonable, and said: "This place is an official post, and it was just a place to live for you, and an official came later, so naturally you have to get out of the wayβbesides, isn't it to find a new place to live?" If you make any more noise, I'll beat you out! β
Another person said: "What kind of residence is that, it's obviously a straw stable......"
The voice gradually subsided, and after a while, there was no sound outside, and silence returned.
Although he just listened to the tail and didn't listen to the head, Ji Qingling had already guessed the reason for three points.
Because of her explanation, as long as this accommodation is close to Shagukou, the rest doesn't matter, and the next manager will look for it.
Shagukou is just a small place, even if it is the nearest Gongxian County, it has to walk dozens of miles, and there are few places to live near the left.
Although this post station is so small that there are only more than 20 rooms, it is an official post in the end, and because it is the closest to Shagukou, many merchants are waiting here to do business.
The official post of the Great Jin Dynasty has its own rules, in which the house is only for the official or his family to stay, the post ticket is required, and the name must be recorded, because no matter the food, accommodation does not need to spend money, all by the imperial court to allocate silver, is not allowed to enter the idle people. And the room is issued in order of official quality, who is the official and who lives in the house, and does not pay attention to the first come, first served. Later, a big official came out, and the person in front had to let it out.
However, after all, the regulations are only regulations, there are thousands or hundreds of post stations, and it is impossible to have officials living in them from time to time, and when they are free, the post guards and post men will do another business in private, that is, as long as they can afford to pay the money, they will secretly give the room to passers-by to live.
This place is hundreds of miles away from the capital, and it was not a crowded place in the past, but recently the water supervisor set up a camp, which attracted many merchants to want to get a piece of the pie, and the post guards were not prepared before, so they naturally followed the old practice and gave them money to live.
And the night before, there were more than ten people in Ji Qingling's party, because she was an official's family, even if she arrived in a hurry, the post guard still moved three rooms out.
I want to come to these three rooms to ask others to let me, and now the original resident has come out to reason.
At this time, the people who lived in the official post were businessmen, and most of them knew the rules and made such a loud noise, probably in order to get back the money originally paid by the same post station.
Although it has nothing to do with him, once he wakes up from the noise, Ji Qingling can't sleep anymore.
At this time, lying on the bed, after a while in her mind, she had to do what she planned to do, and after a while, she found that it had been solved, as if there was nothing important.
The matter of the canal at the camp at the mouth of the sand valley is still being completed, and she is reluctant to call someone to pass it at this time, so as not to distract Gu Yanzhang, and in the end, she found that she was rarely idle today.
Ji Qingling lay down for a while, and when she woke up and turned her head, Qiu Lu and Qiu Yue were still sleeping sweetly on the bunk not far away, especially Qiu Shuang, the corners of her mouth were shining, and she smashed it twice from time to time, obviously not waking up yet.
She only hastily filled her stomach last night, and the next night, she was already a little hungry in her belly at this time, but she was really tired after everyone ran forward and after this section, so she was not very willing to wake them up, so she got up and dressed herself, and simply freshened up, put on a bun, and pushed the door out to find something to eat.
At this time, Dongfang was bright, and the courtyard was quiet, and I don't know if the rest of the guests were still sleeping or had already gone out.
The official post is very small, and there are no private rooms, only a few small tables are set up in the hall.
As soon as Ji Qingling entered the hall, a post guard greeted him.
She was wearing civilian clothes, her head was a bun that she pulled at will, she already had a tender face without fat powder, and with a curious look on her face, the post man got closer, and for a while, she couldn't distinguish her identity, only looked at her appearance and temperament, felt that she was not an ordinary guest, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with the little lady?" β
Ji Qingling asked: "Dare to ask the poor master, I don't know if there is breakfast here?" β
The post man was already forty or fifty years old, looking at Ji Qingling's eyebrows and eyes, and smiling without saying a word, he couldn't help but have a little more good feelings, and said patiently: "There are meat porridge, white porridge, and side dishes for porridge, as well as cooking cakes and oil cakes - early in the morning, the oil cakes are greasy, and the little lady still eats porridge and cooking cakes." He pointed to the table next to him and said, "Let's come and sit here." β
As he spoke, he helped wipe the table and chair.
Ji Qingling thanked him, ordered a few things to eat, and reported to the premises, and the post man went to the kitchen.
For a moment the hall was empty, and she was the only one sitting.
It's okay to be horizontal and vertical, Ji Qingling took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick barrel on the table and came out to play with the length.
I haven't been able to tell who is longer and who is shorter, but I can already hear several people talking and entering the door.
ββ¦β¦ I have already run all over the village, and in the villages that I can find in the left and near, all the fields have been robbed for the rest of the people, but there are still some sparse left, but one is in the east and one is in the west, and we are not familiar with the place, whether it is buying and selling in the future, or dotting, it is not very convenient. β
"We've searched all over the left and near, let's look far away, there will always be leftover!"
"Second brother, I heard people say that the things at the mouth of this sand valley are almost done, and if they are done, it means that there is no longer a shortage of people, and there will be no more new fields, no matter how far you go, it's useless!"
"Yes, second child, we knew that the news was late, and we delayed on the road again, and the others had already finished dividing the meat, and there was no bone residue left, no matter how much we pounced, we couldn't get out of the meat!"
Ji Qingling could hear that the three of them all had Ganzhou accents, especially the voice of the person in the middle was very familiar, as if it was the one who spoke in the courtyard in the morning, and when he looked up, he saw that the three of them had already chosen a seat to sit down.
The hall of the post station was not big, although it was not next to each other, it was not far away, Ji Qingling only glanced back, and did not talk, only listened to them complain to each other here.
It turned out that these three men were brothers of the same family, two were brothers, and one was a cousin of the crown who was trading together.
This time they came to the capital to sell white wax, because they earned more than in previous years, the cousin was careless for a while, took a share of the profits, and hurriedly went to the small sweet water lane to live for many days, went in straight waist, and came out with his waist bent.
