Chapter 565: Entering the Rivers and Lakes for the First Time
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Jingzhou is mostly mountainous, but Guanjingfu is a rare basin, surrounded by high mountains on all sides, showing the trend of wide back and thin front, and Guanjingcheng is built in the middle and rear of the widest part of the basin.
A small river flows down the hill and through the city.
The flat area outside the city is full of rice fields, and at this time the rice has already been harvested, and a large number of broad beans and radishes have been planted in the fields, and it is also harvest season.
Although the weather is cold, it is much better than the snowy Hongzhou, and there are some vegetables to eat in winter.
Not to mention relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, after the dried goods in the autumn are soaked, there are more edible things.
It's just that it's hard to have this basin, and it's rare to have a more spacious place to plant, and even on both sides of the narrow official road in the basin, some land has been reclaimed and beans have been planted.
Guanjingfu is the largest town in Jingzhou, in addition to the beautiful scenery, countless famous springs have attracted literati to compete for poetry, and the beauties here are also famous.
Before entering the city, there are already people coming and going on the official road, although the mountain road here is not easy to walk, but it is obviously a lot more than Hongzhou.
Zhuang Rou asked the little pomegranate who had taken a bath and changed his clothes to drive the carriage, and he looked at the scenery of Guanquan Mansion, and gradually found that there seemed to be many people who came and went here, and there seemed to be many people who did not seem to be good.
There seem to be more people in the rivers and lakes of Guanquan Mansion.
If it had been placed in the past, she would not have paid attention to this kind of thing, but now she has the heart to find Lingge, and there are two people from the rivers and lakes by her side, so she subconsciously pays attention.
Zhuang Rou looked up at the surrounding mountains, and saw that the steep mountains were full of trees, and it took at least half a day to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
It's still a place where there is a road, and if you go directly to the dense forest, you may not be able to get out.
Although the mountains are high, they are not uninhabited, and some majestic buildings can occasionally be seen between the mountains and forests.
Except for some temples and Taoist temples, more like Zhuangzi.
Zhuang Rou said to Zhuang Jin: "Little pomegranate, let me test how familiar you are with Dahao, how much do you know about this Guanquan Mansion?" ”
"I think Jinlong Palace just stretched out its hand here, I'm afraid it only means a piece of explanation to Guan Quanfu." She said casually and secretly.
Zhuang Jin is dressed up handsomely and cleanly now, except that he is not as white as a few days ago, and the grass on his head shows that he can be bought, he is already like a young man from an ordinary rich family.
He was in a much better mood now, and he snorted when he was looked down on like this, "Although Guanquan Mansion is famous for its springs, it is a place where the people are fierce, and because of the treacherous terrain of the mountains and highlands, many Jianghu sects have established factions here. ”
"They occupy the mountains as a faction, in fact, they are similar to bandits, but their methods are more sophisticated, and most of them rely on business to make a living."
"Qinglou and gambling house are the two most profitable businesses in Guanquan Mansion, all of them are controlled by sects, and even the yamen have to give them some face."
Zhuang Jin glanced at Zhuang Rou, what is this Guanquan Mansion, he has been here for a month before, don't look at it is only fourteen or fifteen years old, it is also a good time to spend all day drinking and no one cares about it.
"There are many green buildings and gambling houses, I don't know how many, is the girl beautiful?" Zhuang Rou looked up at the city wall in front of him, probably with a lot of taxes, higher and bigger than those in Hongzhou.
Zhuang Jin said with a veteran face: "There are more than 200 Qinglou and gambling houses, do you say how much?" ”
"Not only the girls are beautiful, but even the men have their own merits, you can choose one to rise and gain knowledge when you enter the city." He smiled hesitantly, wanting to make fun of Zhuang Rou.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Rou glanced at him casually, and said indifferently: "Has anyone ever competed against the king of Yindejun?" ”
This is the person who wants to marry their Princess Qingliang Rongbao, a famous beautiful man, there are really people who are better looking than him, so I have to go and see it.
Zhuang Jin snorted disdainfully, "What if you don't, how many men have you seen?" ”
"Listening to your tone, it seems that I envy them, so I'll sell you to the small house." Zhuang Rou smiled slightly.
Zhuang Jin's face suddenly became difficult to look at, but thinking of his identity, even if he sold it to that kind of place, it was impossible to pick up customers immediately, and he could escape at any time.
He pretended to be angry and scolded, "You don't want to humiliate me! I am the grandson of Xiangguo, if you dare to do this to me, Xiangye and the dealer will definitely not let you go! ”
"I'm so afraid, since you're so unwilling, then I won't sell you." Zhuang Rou leaned on the carriage, tilted her head to look at the people and scenery along the road, and said very casually.
"Huh?" Zhuang Jin was stunned, so he didn't sell himself?
Shouldn't you sell yourself right away and humiliate yourself, right?
His lips trembled with anger, "You're telling the truth?" ”
Zhuang Rou looked at him and only felt very funny, "Of course, Little Pomegranate, you are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and you haven't grown up yet, why did I sell you." ”
"Although I don't want to admit it, you have to call me uncle or uncle, as a cousin, how can I be willing to sell you."
"For the sake of wanting to poison me, of course I take it with me and bully you every day." She smiled slyly.
Zhuang Jin looked at her with wide eyes, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen for something.
Seeing his surprised look, Zhuang Rou smiled and said: "On the way, you think I will sell you, look at your little scared, I am coaxing you, how could you do such a thing." ”
She squinted her eyes and said to Zhuang Jin with a lovely smile: "Even if I kill you, I won't sell you." If you sell it, won't it make it easy for you to escape and go back to the dealer's house? ”
Zhuang Jin's back suddenly exploded, and a coldness instantly climbed up along his back, causing goosebumps all over his body.
At this time, he realized that Zhuang Rou's eyes looked so much like his grandfather and those cousins.
As long as he narrowed his eyes, he revealed ruthless and vicious, unscrupulous eyes, which was the reason why he always felt inferior.
Because, Zhuang Jin, the sixteenth young master of the Zhuang family, has a pair of apricot eyes like a mother, but does not have those eyes like poisonous snakes.
There is even a rumor that has been circulating in the Zhuang family, as long as whoever inherits such eyes, will soar in the Zhuang family in the future.
Even if you are not a descendant or a family, with those eyes, you can please your grandfather and easily enter the Zhuang Yitang to study.
And as long as the person who can enter the Zhuang Yi Hall can enter the Jinlong Palace at a young age, he can be in a high position.
Although Zhuang Jin is also studying in Zhuang Yitang, it is only because his mother is the daughter of Xiangguo, and his father is the eldest son of the eldest son and the next head of the family.
He was extremely aggrieved, why could this kind of woman who was not even an outer room be born to inherit those eyes.
His mother is so noble, and she was still married by the emperor, but she couldn't give herself such a pair of eyes.
Seeing that he was so aggrieved that he almost cried, Zhuang Rou said inexplicably: "What are you crying for?" Want to sell yourself into a small house so much? ”
Zhuang Jin glared at her fiercely, turned around and wiped away the tears in his eyes with his sleeve, and drove the carriage with his head down and stopped talking.
"It's really a child, and it's a mess." Zhuang Rou shrugged and said speechlessly.
At this time, a man suddenly approached on horseback, clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, how much silver do you sell for this horse-driving boy?" ”
"Fifty thousand taels of gold, and your Excellency will take it." Zhuang Rou leaned on the carriage and replied casually.
"Sick!" The man felt that he had met a madman, and he cursed and walked away.
Zhuang Jin turned his head and stared at Zhuang Rou viciously, "You still want to sell me!" ”
"If someone really buys you for 50,000 taels of gold, why don't I sell it, and if you go home, you won't pay this price, and the person who is willing to pay this gold must be the person who loves you the most in the world." Zhuang Rou laughed.
"......" Zhuang Jin was stunned for a moment, feeling that her words seemed to have some truth, but there was something wrong, and she couldn't think it through.
