Chapter 6 Migrant workers in the city
In the early morning of the next day, Liuying heard the sound of the hammer door outside and the loud voice of the second uncle, "Boy, go out, hurry up." ”
Liuying had a little insomnia last night before going to bed, and she wasn't a little confused until just over one o'clock, and now she grabbed her phone and took a look, Mom, it's only three o'clock in the morning. Did people in ancient times get up so early?
Liuying hurriedly responded, put on her clothes with all hands and feet, and didn't have time to brush her teeth again, rushed out of the door with a small package, and when she opened the door, her second uncle was sitting on the wooden pier at the door with a large package, and when he saw her come out, he patted her shoulder energetically, "It's useless for young people to sleep so much, you see your eyes are swollen, hahahaha"
Liuying stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, yawned again, and asked, "Second uncle, why did we get up so early." Going far? ”
The second uncle waved his hand, picked up the package and said, "It's not too far, it's not good for you to go too late on the first day, let's talk while walking." ”
Liuying hurriedly followed, it should be the weather in April and May, and the night is not very cool, it is not very uncomfortable to walk at night, but she is sleepy and yawns, her second uncle walks very fast, sometimes she has to trot two steps to keep up, fortunately, the moon is bright enough, and the road under your feet can probably be seen clearly.
After walking for a few miles, Liuying's drowsiness gradually subsided, and she took two steps to inquire about the current situation, and she had a general understanding of this strange world.
The village where she lives now is called Zhifu Village, and the name is straightforward to make Liuying's belly slander for a while, Zhifu Village is located in the middle of the imperial city of Pingcheng and Ancheng, and the location is probably the north, and Liuying speculates that it should be the location of Beijing. Anseong is also one of the largest towns outside of the Imperial Fortress, and the village is not too far from both cities, and it takes about two hours to walk, and the place where they are going to work now is Anseong. Now the country name is Zhou, but it is not the Zhou Dynasty established by Wu Zetian in history, let alone the Zhou Dynasty of Wuwang Jifa, because she heard from her second uncle that the current emperor's surname is Li.
It turned out to be an overhead dynasty, Liuying secretly pondered, since it was an overhead era, it was not recognized by history at all, so if she bought back antiques, would it still be valuable? When the experts looked at it, they didn't understand which dynasty it was at all, and thought it was a high imitation. Isn't it better to get some gold and jade jewelry that is old and doesn't depreciate much?
She just thought for a while, and saw that the second uncle had opened up a distance of more than ten meters from her, and hurriedly chased after her.
After walking like this for nearly an hour, Liuying's body was a little unbearable, her back was covered with sweat, and she had asked her four times in a row how far the second uncle was, and the second uncle just said, it's soon, it's fast.
Liuying sat under the tree on the side of the road, saying that she would take a break for a while, and both of them stopped to drink water, Liuying looked at her second uncle without a trace of sweat, and couldn't help but admire his physique.
After resting for less than five minutes, Liuying was lifted up again, at this time the sky was already slightly bright, about four o'clock, Liuying saw that her second uncle looked a little anxious, knowing that it was his own oil bottle that caused him to walk more slowly, and he didn't say much, dragging his body and reluctantly continuing to walk.
After walking for another half an hour, I had already vaguely seen the city gate, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and Liu Ying looked at it, most of them were ordinary people, and their clothes and clothes were not much different from those of the second uncle and aunt.
Seeing that she was going to enter the city gate, Liuying suddenly felt a little excited, although she usually watched costume TV series, after all, there was a gap with the immersive 4D experience, and there was an inexplicable excitement when she thought about being able to deal with people hundreds of years ago.
After Liuying followed the second uncle into Anseong, he looked at the fresh, completely different wooden houses in his own small village, a bit of carved beams and painted buildings, I remember playing in Nanluoguxiang at the beginning, listening to the tour guide to explain the ancient doors, the number of lintels are particular, and the corresponding official position is related.
Liuying watched while walking, and she didn't feel tired. Why is the ancient city so smoky, the hawkers selling breakfast everywhere, the smoke next to the wonton stalls, and even the crying of the children in the yard are so pleasant, this is the breath of life. Liuying thought that it was difficult for her to turn around when she was squeezed on the bus every morning, and she sat in the small compartment of the office building for a day, and she didn't go out at night to play with her mobile phone, and suddenly felt strange and boring.
I was watching with relish, and suddenly the second uncle called out and arrived.
Liu Ying hurriedly looked up, only to see the three big characters on the wooden plaque on his head, Chenyue Tower. The three-story building was quaint, and she didn't recognize what kind of wood it was. However, looking at the fine carvings of the doors and windows, the grade must not be bad. It's just that the door hasn't opened yet.
Her second uncle put the package at the door, and knocked on the door with a bang, and it was no more than five o'clock in the morning at this time, I don't know if it will make the people inside sleep?
As soon as the knock on the door fell, the door creaked open, and a small head with a cloth towel around his head stretched out, looking not very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, and his eyes were very clever.
"Hey, Second Uncle of the Xia Family, you arrived so early today. Why didn't you come in through the back door. Come on, come on, the shopkeeper's mindfulness is not enough. After speaking, he opened a door, saw Liuying carrying a small package behind him, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"This is my nephew from my own family, my eldest brother's family, called Xia Liuying. The shopkeeper knew it, and I called him to help with him. The second uncle hurriedly pulled Liu Ying to introduce it.
Poof, the guy laughed and said, "Second uncle, this nephew doesn't look like you, I look more beautiful than the eldest girl." If you don't tell me, I'll think someone's lady disguised herself as a man. Come in, you two. ”
Liuying was a little nervous, and hurriedly followed her second uncle into the restaurant, only to see that the first floor was very wide, with dozens of round tables, presumably not yet opened, wooden stools were placed on the table, and a few boys dressed as small servants were cleaning.
"Yo, Erniu is here." Liuying listened to the voice and looked over, only to see a middle-aged man walking over from behind the counter, this person has an elegant face, three long beards, but looks like a scholar, presumably the shopkeeper, it is hard to imagine that it is the second uncle's village.
"Who is this?"
Seeing the shopkeeper looking at herself, Liuying hurriedly introduced herself, "The shopkeeper is good, my name is Xia Liuying, this is my second uncle, I came to help together." ”
"Xia Liuying?" The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard the name. looked at the second uncle, "This is your nephew who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn?" ”
“。。。。。” Liuying was suddenly a little speechless, it seems that her reputation really stinks enough.
Thinking of this, Liuying straightened up and replied in place of the second uncle, "It's true that I am Xia Liuying, but I promise you, it is definitely not the Xia Liuying you heard of who does not learn and has no skills." ”
Then he added, "I will prove it with practical actions." ”
