Chapter 169: The county seat
Zhao Lao Er's eyes rolled, pulled the girl from home, and said flatteringly: "Master Wang, there is a small road to the town, my girl knows the way, why don't you let her accompany you?"
Glancing at Zhao Lao Er deeply, considering that he didn't know much about the humanities and customs of this world, it was not impossible to bring a follower, Bai Ze nodded slightly and agreed.
Zhao Lao Er was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged Zhao San to go back to the room to change his clothes, and he stood aside with his waist bent, thinking about his daughter's goodness, what the first beauty in the village, willing to work hard, many people said that he didn't agree to anything.
Regardless of Bai Ze's sluggishness in his feelings, his heart is like a mirror at this time, this Zhao Lao Er clearly takes a fancy to Wang Xiucai's identity and status, and even more likes his generosity, and wants to send his daughter to marry a family.
"It's a pity that this guy is like Guo Sheng, he can only dream about yellow sorghum, but he can't see through the essence of this society and life!" Bai Ze shook his head slightly.
If it is Wang Xiucai's deity sitting here, Zhao Laoer's behavior is to send his daughter into the tiger's mouth.
Not to mention Wang Sheng's lustful nature, as long as he is a talent with a little desire, when he encounters this kind of stupid father who sends his daughter to the door, this is not a cheap one. Besides, Zhao Sansheng is also considered Zhouzheng, the original Wang Sheng will definitely eat her and wipe her clean, and after having enough fun, he will turn his face and not recognize people.
After this kind of thing happened, with the very different identities and statuses of the two parties, Wang Sheng definitely had nothing to do with it, and it was only Zhao San who was spurned and condemned.
A girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, in an ancient society where chastity and morality are bigger than the sky, even if she does not commit suicide with this kind of name, her life will be ruined, and countless miserable encounters will follow, so that she will never be able to turn over.
The saddest thing is that when they encounter this kind of ignorant people who are blinded by possible interests, even if someone finds out the stakes to Zhao Laoer's family now, they will not believe it, but will hate this loyal person, which is the hateful thing about poor people!
Of course, Bai Ze would not take advantage of Zhao San, but he would not persuade him, he was just a hurried passer-by in this world, and he couldn't make trouble for himself.
took Zhao San to the county seat, Quan was just leading a maid, and Bai Ze didn't miss her rations.
As for whether Zhao San will be smarter and understand the reality after this experience, this is not something he should worry about, whether he can not hurt this family and provide some small help, this is already Bai Ze's greatest kindness to strangers.
After a while, Zhao San changed into a dress with only three or two patches on his body, and the happiness and shyness on his face couldn't be hidden.
The daughter of a poor family also thinks of spring, and the Wang Xiucai in front of her is young, rich and talented, with cultivated manners and does not drag mud and water, obviously a superior scholar, but in words and conversations, every move gives them family respect.
Even if you don't mention these external conditions and personalities, the world loves to be pretty, Wang Xiucai is tall and handsome, and there is an indescribable attraction on his body. Especially compared with Guo Sheng, who was born low and ugly, he is really a first-class beautiful man.
Zhao San's face was flushed, and he always sneaked a peek at Bai Ze along the way, and then hurriedly dodged when his eyes came, and a picture of a child crashing into a deer was revealed.
It's a pity that Bai Ze not only didn't have the slightest heartbeat, but also didn't have the slightest sense of achievement, his steps were vigorous, and he hurried quickly with an expressionless face, and a budding girl's heart was thrown to the ground by him without the slightest incomprehension.
Even Zhao San, a native of the countryside, had to trot to keep up with Bai Ze's pace when she reached the second half of the road, and a little pink mood had already disappeared with sweating.
When he arrived in the town, Zhao San stuck a few strands of hair to his forehead, bent over and gasped, looking extremely embarrassed. She looked up and saw that Bai Ze was still the same as when he went out, renting the carriage without blushing or panting.
After a few days of recuperation, half of the injuries on Bai Ze's body have healed, and there are twenty-five drops of demon blood in his body, and the battle of ordinary intensity is no longer in the way, let alone just rushing.
The county seat is about fifty miles away from the town, and most of the days with good legs and feet can be reached, but for the sake of time efficiency, Bai Ze still rented a carriage and led Zhao San on the road.
This was the first time Zhao Sansheng had taken a carriage in his life, Bai Ze was in a hurry, and when she arrived at the county seat in the afternoon, her face was so pale that there was no blood, and the food in her stomach had already been vomited.
Looking for an inn to store the carriage, Zhao San's legs trembled a little, not only because he was tired, but also because he was nervous that he had never seen the world, so he followed behind Bai Ze carefully.
Everything in the county town was unusual to her, and the civilians walking on the streets were neatly dressed, with only two or three patches on them at most, even more complete than the best clothes in the house.
From time to time, scholars in gray and white robes, or green clothes pass by, and it is so common to see old men in the countryside.
There are all kinds of shops on the streets, some selling brightly colored fabrics, some selling large pieces of meat and bones, and there is even a shop where the beautiful aroma comes from inside, and there are clean and beautiful ladies who come in and out, carrying small bags of rouge gouache.
Zhao San looked like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, her eyes were full of curiosity, and she glanced around as if she couldn't make it, and she couldn't help but exclaim and sigh in her heart.
Bai Ze was also patrolling around, but unlike Zhao San, who had seen the excitement, he had already seen the ancient big cities in the demon world, and no matter how good this county was, it was not as prosperous as the capital there. Now look at the first is to look for the big restaurant, to explore the news that will help you to act, and the second is to carefully explore the living standards of the people around you, so as to estimate and judge the cultural background and social form of this world, and increase your own knowledge.
If other cities are like this, it is undoubtedly the richest of the four Liaozhai painting book worlds. All kinds of shops are in full swing, indicating that the people have purchasing power and desire to buy, and Bai Ze noticed a detail, that is, there are several shops with a surname plaque, and the sprout of capital in feudal society has been born.
"The more money can be spent in society, the more greedy the superior will be, everything is looking at money, and the plan of bribing the examiner of the child test can be tried. β
"The high status of the literati and the prosperity and law-abiding of the common people are combined to reflect that this world has been peaceful for a long time, and the armament of officers and soldiers should be somewhat deserted, and it is really feasible to threaten the examiner. β
Bai Ze set two action plans in his heart, "All in all, the social form here is roughly similar to the ancient Song Dynasty in the real world, but there are still some subtleties and deviations about the status of literati. β
Coincidentally, at this time, a large restaurant appeared in front of the two of them, and seeing that there were several scholars at the tables near the window on the second floor, Bai Ze paused, turned around and led Zhao San towards the restaurant.
"How many of you are there, officer?"
A little second hunched his waist, won with a smile on his face, and glanced at Zhao San, who looked rustic behind him, invisibly.
"Two, remember to give me a seat on the second floor. β
Bai Ze noticed Xiao Er's inquiring eyes, glanced at the hall slightly, and found that the first floor was full of businessmen and civilians, and there was no one in a long robe and green clothes, so he specially instructed.
Xiao Er looked at it carefully, although Bai Ze's face was a little naΓ―ve, but he looked like a scholar in his clothes and demeanor, he thought about it slightly, and the smile on his face was even greater, and shouted in a unique tone:
"Childe, please come with me!"
