The people around were surprised that such a person who looked like a scholar was actually a woman, she nodded to hide her embarrassment, and quickly followed the woman into another car.

This Anche is covered with a flat straw mat, a futon and a bamboo carbon cage, although it is not as luxurious and comfortable as the main car, but it is clean and warm, which is enough for her.

"Thank you for the rescue! The folk girl couldn't help but dress up as a man, in order to prevent the wicked on the road, but she was unexpectedly exposed by the girl, and she did not mean to deceive, and she hoped that the girl would bear with her. Her voice was not as rough as before, nor was it gentle and sweet, it was a sassy female voice, and she bowed after she finished speaking.

The woman returned the salute: "It was Zhao Zhengqing who saved you, you should thank him, besides, the weather is cold, Zhengqing has no reason not to save him when he sees death." Oh, by the way, how did the girl know that this was Zhengqing's car? After that, I invited her to sit down.

"I have seen a lot of the world when I was doing business with my father before, and in order to negotiate business with nobles, I need to learn various etiquette, and I have met many people in the clan, and I naturally have a little understanding of Zhao Zhengqing." Most of the merchants were descendants of the Yin merchants, so their status in the Zhou Dynasty was not high, but because the merchants traded between countries, all countries were deeply benefited by market trade, and in the hearts of people of insight, the status of merchants was not so low, and merchants could also be used as information carriers to convey information to various princes.

She continued: "The so-called home with a car, the powerful minister of a country, such a convoy with more than a dozen carriages, is indeed rare. "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the chariots and horses were connected, there was no cart without horses, there was no horse without carts, horses were very valuable, there was a "horse bundle silk" said, that is, five slaves were worth a horse and a bundle of silk, because horses were precious, so almost all horses were filled in the barracks for battle. "According to the etiquette system, 'the Son of Heaven drives six, the princes drive five, the Qing drives four, the doctor three, the scholar two, the Shuren one', can use four horses to drive must be the Qing doctor, I look at the red Zhao flag in the convoy, the red represents the Zhou Dynasty Huode, the royal princes are available, the convoy is guarded by soldiers, the ordinary doctor is not the right to use soldiers, can use the soldiers, and the flag has the word Zhao, it is certain that the owner of the convoy is the Jin State Zhengqing, Zhao Meng."

The degree of observance of these weekly rites is a sign of a person's upbringing, family background, and noble bloodline.

The woman sat down: "The girl is really well-informed, although she is the daughter of a businessman, she is ice and snow smart, dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

In that era, surnames, first names could tell a person's origin, nobility, experience, etc. Surnames are derived from matrilineal clans, and all people have a surname, but not all have a clan or first name. Clans can be derived from families, occupations, titles, place names, and even country names...... Men are adults to perform crown salutes, women are adult to perform the ceremony, and by the elders or respected people to give words, on behalf of adults into the society, after others call the word to show respect, to be recognized by the society, and women can not be casually called words, or call their names, generally elders, husbands and friends in the boudoir can call their words, other people call their names, the word is indecent, this is the reason why the book "Spring and Autumn" is vague about women.

"My name is Ling, Song Yu, I have no words."

Song Yu speaks with an obvious Song accent, and his voice and appearance are about thirteen years old.

"My name is Lu, but I don't know something, why did the girl fall to this point in business?"

Lu wants to know where she came from, but she doesn't reveal her last name, showing respect and maintaining a certain sense of distance.

Although Song Yu's face was hidden in the dim candlelight, and his face was so dirty that he couldn't make out his appearance, his sad expression was still easily revealed, and tears appeared in his eyes.

"On the way to the business, I met robbers, they murdered me for money, killed my father and my mother, I hid in the secret box of the carriage, fortunately I was not discovered, and when they left, I changed the clothes of the scholar and escaped." In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many princes, and each country attached great importance to the introduction of talents, and scholars usually traveled around the world to their favorite countries, so they often encountered scholars on the road. After she finished speaking, she couldn't cry, covered her face and cried bitterly, "Now with my own strength, it is impossible to return to the Song Kingdom." ”

"Miss Song, please mourn and change, wait for me to be clear, make proper arrangements for the girl, and he will send the girl back to her home country one day." Lu patted her on the back as a gesture of comfort.

"Thank you, Sister Lu." Song Yu prostrate on the ground.

"Girl, please get up, no need to be polite."

The two chatted for a while, and Lu got up to take his leave.

The ink-like dome began to fall fluffy snowflakes, gently and softly sprinkling onto the ground, sticking to the pine needles and slowly covering the verdant clumps of pines and cypresses. The convoy creaked through the pine forest...... The sky was dark, but the snow against the pine forest could still see the road ahead, and not far away was Jiangcheng.

The city of Jin, north of Jiuyuan, south of Emei, Fenhu traversal, drum water to the north, for the capital of Jin.

In the main car, forty-year-old Zhao Meng wore a black jade crown and a black coat, revealing the apricot red clothes with cross patterns inside, his temples were a little white, but he was in good spirits, his eyes were calm and deep, revealing a calm atmosphere. While admiring the snow scene, he listened to Lu tell Song Yu's origin, and his lips hooked slightly: "It turned out to be a woman, does she have any other relatives in Song Kingdom?" ”

"And my uncle helps take care of the family's liquor business." Lu lowered his eyebrows: "Zhengqing, since this woman is from a businessman's descendant, she should know a lot of information about other countries, Youlu went to inquire, what does Zhengqing think." ”

"Good, but this woman's identity is unknown, her origin is all based on her own words, I can't believe it, in recent years, the Qin State has frequently harassed our borders, and there are many displaced people who have left the household registration, I am afraid that she is a secret agent of another country, Youlu, you should find out carefully."

Lu's occupation is Haiyou, Leren, and the position name is a common title in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Nuo, Zhengqing, Youlu still has one more thing."

"Say it."

"Yu's appearance is excellent, although his face is dirty, but he can also show the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the spirit of the sun and the moon, and he is still young, if he is a little cultivated, he can do something."

"You mean to use her beauty and talent to fish the princes of the nations."

Lu's thoughts were bluntly said by Zhao Meng, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"I don't save people to take advantage of them." Zhao Meng said solemnly, paused for a moment, and then changed his words, "Where is Handanjun?" ”

The Handan Jun in Zhao Meng's mouth is his cousin, Zhao Chuan, the son-in-law of Jin Xianggong, because he is sealed in Handan, so he is called Handan Jun. He relied on Zhao Meng's power, arrogant, extravagant and lascivious, and was a typical gentleman, even so, Zhao Meng still "took care" of this cousin very much.

Lu hesitated for a moment, and replied weakly: "Lu knows that he is wrong, Handanjun is in Jiangtai." ”

Jiangtai is also called Jiangxiao Building, because in ancient times the tall building was called the building, so Jiangtai is also called Jiangxiao Building, it is a high platform built in Jiangcheng by the order of Jin Jun Yigao. Yi Gao often used a slingshot to shoot people under the stage to watch them dodge in terror, and took pleasure in doing so. Zhao Chuan felt that it was very interesting for Yi Gao to do this, so he often went to Jiangtai to watch the excitement and frolic together.
