Chapter 216: Xizhou (1)
"Miss, Xizhou!"
The first snow fell in the carriage, and I looked up at Peach's words, and finally arrived... It's in the West State!
"It's a little bit like I imagined... Different!"
Chu Xue looked at the old and dilapidated city in front of her and licked her lips.
This is what the gentleman said... of the Western State?
It doesn't match the name! I think it should be a lot more than that!
"Girl, why don't you go in? Didn't you come to the Western Zhou for something?"
Suhe also got out of the carriage, and when he saw that the first snow didn't move, he couldn't help but ask.
The spring breeze was blowing, and Chu Xue brushed his blown hair and said suspiciously: "Sir, we have come all the way, many places on the map are just a small dot, and the sign of Xizhou is considered to be big... And then the southeast map is also heavily colored, and the gentleman said that this kind of expression indicates that the city is large or..."
"Either there is a special status or a certain representative place, this western state does have its special features in the southeast, saying as you walk."
The carriage sat for a long time, walking around and moving hands and feet.
At the gate of the city, two guards, one on the left and one on the right, stood symbolically, not to say standing, but leaning, leaning against the broken city gate lazily basking in the sun, and when they entered in the early snow, they didn't even lift their eyelids.
Inside the city look... It's more lively than expected.
γβ¦ Although this Xizhou is now in decline, you see, there are a lot of people living here, tell me, do you see the difference between this place and other places?"
After entering the city, Suo and slowly walked slowly to introduce Xizhou to Chu Xue.
"I can't see... It was and is still an imperial city! It's different from other places..."
Chu Xue looked around as she walked, there were indeed a lot of people on the street, and they all looked like the people here, and there were very few outsiders like them.
"To say different... It's really different everywhere, everything here looks old, but the layout of the city does have a bit of an imperial city, that is, the city is smaller, it seems a little crowded, and the people here look a little different, everyone is slow, they are all in a hurry, there are many varieties of things to buy and sell, but there is no level, everywhere shows randomness...". c
After careful observation, Chu Xue found that this Xizhou City was really different from the cities she had ever seen.
γβ¦ This is the precipitation, the precipitation of time, the people here and the charm of this city are almost integrated, most of the people here are families who have lived here for hundreds of years, or even longer... Girl, the people of a city, after the war, the change of dynasties are still rooted here and have not been displaced, which in itself shows that this city and the people here are amazing, you look at them, do they feel familiar with each other, and they can chat a few words casually..."
"It's... Because outsiders can't blend in, there seems to be almost no outsiders here, even like us... There aren't many passers-by."
Indeed, judging from the map, Xizhou is indeed a little remote, and there is no place where you have to go from Xizhou, so there are fewer people passing here.
That... This city, which once existed as an imperial city, does not even have an inn.
"No inn?" Hatsuyuki was startled again.
It's a city, and there's not even an inn.
"Don't get in the way, just find a family to spend the night, the people of Xizhou are actually very hospitable, and we will subsidize some silver when the time comes." Suo and shook his sleeves absently.
After saying that, Dong Liang had already taken action, and first found a place to live so that he could put his things away.
As Suhe said, the people of Xizhou are very hospitable, they found the first family, heard the intention, and the old woman who greeted them agreed without saying a word.
"It's good that the guests don't dislike our house, there are three empty rooms over there, the guests are at their own expense, and the old woman with the mattress or something will go to you to find it, the old ones are old, they are all clean, and the guests don't dislike them......
It's really hospitable...
Chu Xue silently followed into the yard, the yard is not big, it is indeed simple, and the yard is full of living utensils.
"Where do the guests come from? Our family consists of an old wife and an old man and two sons and two sons
After the sons married their daughters-in-law, they all went out and lived..."
As she spoke, the old woman went to the house and helped an uncle out, and the uncle greeted everyone with a warm face.
Hearing that they were from the capital at the beginning of the snow, the old couple was even more excited.
"Miss, this person is really hospitable, this person who doesn't know dares to take it home!"
Entering the house with a salute, Tao'er couldn't help but whisper to Chu Xue that this was impossible in the capital.
Chu Xue turned her head to look at the old woman who was busy outside the door, "There is no inn here, the people here should be used to asking for accommodation, you didn't find it, almost all the doors of every house here are opened, and the streets and alleys are full of old people and children sitting in the sun.
Tao'er nodded in understanding.
"Snow girl, Mr. said to take a nap, I'm also a little tired, you just have to go and get busy, don't worry about us."
Dong Li suddenly greeted the door, and Chu Xue hurriedly responded and nodded.
After the east fence left, Chu Xue motioned for Tao'er to close the door.
"What about those things?"
I made a plan to come to Xizhou, so when Chu Xue set off, I also brought those jewelry, as well as the hot family order, no way, this time to Xizhou, if there are really those people her mother said, you have to use this token to confirm.
Peach carefully took out the wrapped jewelry hidden in the baggage.
Chu Xue looked at these jewelry stunned for a long time, and after thinking for a while, she picked up a red jade bracelet and put it on, and then took out a pair of Dongzhu earrings from it and put them on, the earrings are very simple, but these two Dongzhu are rare gold beads, round and symmetrical, one is difficult to find, not to mention that two are exactly the same.
"Peach, let's go for a walk." Chu Xue put it on and put it away, put the token in her sleeve, thought about it, and then took it out and handed it to Tao'er, "Put this thing on you, hide it."
"Miss, these things are precious, carryβ" Tao'er didn't know the contents of the letter, only that these things were left to her by Miss's mother.
"Let's go!"
The reason why she chose these two things to carry is that the earrings are simple and not eye-catching, and only those who know the goods can see it, and the second is that the bracelet can be hidden in the sleeve, and Chu Xue can only try it with the courage at the moment.
She didn't know what awaited her.
Knowing that Chu Xue had a private matter to deal with in Xizhou, Suhe deliberately excused himself from resting, but he was always a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, sir, you're here."
In addition to concealment, there is also a technique, these two people are driving all the way, if they don't snort, they can hardly detect their existence.
They barely spoke along the way.
Suhe nodded and got up, not bothering to play chess, "Go to the master's house and talk."
Chu Xue had already seen that the two men who were driving the car were not simple, but she didn't inquire much, and she didn't know that when she went out, one of them had already seen and followed her.
"Miss, where are we going?"
When Peach went out, she felt that everything in the city was almost the same.
γβ¦ Just take a look." Anyway, that's what the letter says, go around ...
