Chapter 311: The rules of the capital are big
This is the Rainbow Bridge, right? β
Li Yun saw a wooden arch bridge over the river and shouted in surprise. Even Li Kui showed a look of amazement, on the river surface more than ten zhang wide, an arch bridge without piers suddenly appeared, and the shock of the boat passing under the bridge is difficult to describe in words.
Even if Li Kuizhou traveled north and south, he has been to many places.
But unfortunately, he has never been to any of the major state capitals. There is simply not enough awareness of the big cities of this era.
And Li Yun is even more unbearable, this is a dirt bun from Yishui County.
The boat boss smiled mysteriously, the city of Bianliang, Tokyo did not belong to him, but he did not mind finding pride in the Great Song Dynasty from the magnificent architecture of the city: "Guest officer, this is not a rainbow bridge, but a small horizontal bridge." There are four rivers in Tokyo, and this Wuzhang River is a canal that transports grain from Puyun and other places, but it is the most common river. If you want to say that you are busy, you have to say that the Bianhe River, Hongqiao is a wooden arch bridge in the seven miles outside the water gate of the east of the Bianhe River, which is more than 20 zhang wide, and the extraordinary arch bridge can be compared. But if you want to talk about fun places, you have to talk about Jinshui River. The painting boat on the river is next to each other, and the buildings on both sides of the river are gathered, which is a prosperous place in the capital. β
Even if the boss of the boat is not from Bianliang City, he is quite happy to see the two people dressed as the boy on the boat make mistakes one after another. He likes to see outsiders come to the capital, and they are stunned by the magnificent buildings of Bianliang, and they look like they don't know anything.
Li Kui was silent for a while and asked, "What about us, are we in the city now?" β
"I didn't see the city walls, but naturally I was outside the city. After going to the southwest for more than ten miles, it can be regarded as arriving at the city. My ship is not qualified to enter Xincaomen, so the two young masters are afraid that they will have to disembark at Xincaomen Wharf. β
The boat boss shook his head and touched the beard on his chin, quite smug. The old man relied on the names of Tokyo City to bluff many dignitaries.
As for Li Kui and Li Yun, he didn't know where they came from, but they didn't look like they were rich and rich. However, I brought a lot of luggage with the ship, especially those weapons that attracted attention, and it was easy to think that Li Kui and Li Yun were military attaches who came to the capital to report to the military headquarters, maybe they would go to the corner of the Great Song Dynasty in a few days?
Thinking of this, the captain's pity suddenly rose: "Two, it is not easy to live in the capital, the cheap accommodation is unsatisfactory, and the expensive cannot afford it, and the accommodation in the capital can be quite exquisite." β
After speaking, he proudly waited for Li Kui to ask.
However, Li Yun preemptively said: "My eldest brother bought a house in the capital." β
The captain was very reluctant to admit that he was jealous and pantothenic. These two people who look ordinary actually bought a house in the capital? Is the house in the capital for people like you?
can't blame the boat boss, Li Kui and Li Yun don't care about what they are wearing.
There was not even a decent satin coat in the baggage, either linen clothes or ordinary robes, and the materials were not exquisite. So much so that it gave the boat boss an illusion that these two people had average and average family backgrounds. Suddenly, such a person shouted that he could also buy a house in the capital, which made the boat boss feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
Bianliang has a population of more than one million, and more than half of it does not have its own real estate.
Buying a house, in Bianliang, is definitely an earth-shattering event. What's more, Li Kui and Li Yun's accents on Jingdong East Road made the old man feel even more awkward.
He risked his life and sold the boat, and all the money was only enough to buy a small house in the alley outside the sour date gate. How can Li Kui say that he is not ashamed to buy a house?
The sour jujube gate is in the north city, and the people who live in it are all the poor people in the capital, just listening to this gate building, there is a smell of poverty and sourness. But even in such a place, the small courtyard in the city is eight hundred. The small courtyard outside the city, without 500 guan, can't be taken down.
As for the Song people who live near the North Gate, why don't they consider the vicinity of Chenqiaomen, where the street is more wide?
In fact, the housing prices near Chenqiaomen are relatively low in the capital, and they are cheaper than those outside the sour jujube gate. The house is good, the location is better, the street is wider, or the main city gate, the area is positive. But there is a little bit of bad, near Chenqiao is the post station of the envoys of the Liao State, and the people like to settle near Chenqiao, and over time, there are more people in this place than the people of the Great Song Dynasty. And they are all arrogant and rude, and even the army does not dare to care. Over time, it has become a place of extremely poor public security.
But even the housing prices near Chenqiao are about three or four hundred. Not ordinary people can afford it.
Of course, the cheapest is not near Chenqiao, but a serious main gate - Nanxun Gate. Why is this place cheap? The reason why no one likes to live here is because of bad luck, which is the only funeral distribution center in Bianliang. Coffin shops, papier-mΓ’chΓ© shops, those selling shrouds, and even the largest avatar field in the capital, which was the most popular crematorium in the Northern Song Dynasty. In fact, it is also very easy to understand that cremation is a Buddhist funeral custom, and in areas where Buddhism is developed, cremation is naturally common.
It's just that the housing prices near Nanxun Gate are cheap, and it has a lot to do with the Huaren Field.
No one can stand the strange smell of burnt paste coming from the crematorium, right?
But even the housing prices near Nanxun Gate are not cheap, and they are not the existence that outsiders can peep at.
The housing prices in the capital are where you can peep?
The boat boss pinched the beard on his chin, his face was entangled, he wanted to ask Li Kui what the alley of Suozamen lived in, and if he didn't do this canal business, he would also buy a yard to settle down for the elderly.
However, the boat boss was destined to be disappointed, because Li Kui asked him a question: "Uncle, how far is it to Dongjiaolou Lane?" β
"This place used to be not easy!" Suddenly, the boat boss's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Kui strangely, Dongjiaolou Lane is on the edge of the inner city, which is one of the best places to live in Bianliang, so he said stupidly: "You don't mean that the house you bought is on the edge of Dongjiaomen Lane, right?" β
"Near the Beacon Gate."
Li Kui took out the letter from home, pointed to the address written on the letter, and said, "This is this place." β
"Silk."
The boat boss gasped, and with a little force, he tore off a small handful of the beard on his chin, and his grinning face was extremely ugly. But the Great Song people have a little benefit, admiring the rich people, the old man immediately changed his appearance, and the arrogance on it naturally disappeared, only an indescribable humble appearance: "The two sons are too students?" β
"This place is close to Taixue, isn't it also close to the Ministry of Rites and Tribute Academy?" Li Yun said happily.
The boat boss said in his heart: "It's really close, it's in an alley, can it not be close?" But he asked respectfully: "I don't know who the two sons are......"
"We're lifters." Li Yun said unashamedly, although he obtained the qualifications through martial arts, he was also qualified to participate in the Ministry of Rites test. It's not a lift, what is it?
The boss of the boat woke up like a dream and said: "It turns out that the two sons are disrespectful and disrespectful, and I am afraid that this time I came to the capital to participate in the opening of the Ministry of Rites, right?" β
"That's right."
"It turned out that Wenqu Xing went down to earth, and the little old man congratulated the two on their victory, and the title of the gold list."
Li Yun blinked his eyes for a while, and he couldn't turn around, what does this mean? Li Kui, who was standing next to Li Yun, understood that this old man actually wanted to give a reward, otherwise why would he say good things to you for no reason?
Li Kui smiled and said, "Reward." β
Ruan Xiaoer took out a bunch of money from his baggage, stuffed it into the old man's hand angrily, and then asked, "Now you can say how far it is from the dock to our residence, right?" β
"It's not far, it's only thirty-five miles."
Li Yun was dumbfounded and said, "What, thirty-five miles? β
The boss of the boat said proudly: "Actually, Lao Er has never been near the Suzaku Gate, but thirty-five miles may be more, but it is definitely not more than forty miles." β
Then the old man began to show the way near Beicheng, which he was very familiar with, and then Li Yun was stupid, and Li Kui was also stupid.
The names of the places were next to each other, and there was not even a map, and he was probably going to get lost.
Think about it, Li Kui used to be alone in the mountains and forests for ten days and a half without getting lost, but if he got lost not long after entering Tokyo City, wouldn't it be a shame to be thrown into the capital?
As if his head had been stirred into a mess, Li Kui took Li Yun and Ruan Xiaoer to pay the taxes for entering the city and entered the capital.
When it came time to pay taxes, there was almost a conflict.
The tax collector stared at Li Kui and Li Yun's official document of Yizhou's explanation, but there was a problem with the things that Li Kui and Li Yun were carrying.
The tax collector determined that Li Kui's two weapons were for sale and should not be eligible for tax exemption.
But what can Li Kui say?
I can only pick up the three-pointed and two-edged divine blade, and the pair of ghost king axes that have always wanted to be destroyed, but always feel useful, picked them up and weighed them in my hands for a while, which made people let go.
And Li Yun was also quite angry, and he brought a bunch of steel whips that were also regarded as entrainment commodities for sale. was dragged and danced by the tax collector, and it was quite embarrassing to lose the face of the reader.
Who made Da Song's move without human rights?
Of course, the tax is not much, and I am afraid that the value of the goods will not be assessed well and will be deducted.
Walking on the street, Li Yun said angrily: "This Beijing person is really snobbish enough, and for me and other foreigners, I can't wait to rush back to my hometown." Speaking of resentment, Li Yun shouted: "I'd rather be a country dog than a duckweed man in this life!" β
Li Yun kept talking angrily, and Li Kui opened his mouth coldly: "This poem is good. β
Li Yun was stunned, and then looked at Li Kui expectantly, his eyes full of expectant answers.
Li Kui was also quite impatient with Li Yun's nagging, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it should be the best sentence you have written in the past two years." It is a good sentence to exhaust the warmth and coldness of the world. If you complete the last two sentences, you will inevitably have a well-known poem. β
"Oh yes!"
Li Yun's whole person was about to be drowned in happiness, and he was almost out of breath, and in his dying struggle, there was a holy glory on his face.
To put it in one sentence - his ancestral grave is smoking again.
Li Kui was helpless, so he had to nod.
Li Yun shouted and said to Ruan Xiaoer: "Hurry up and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the young master, this young master will record it." β
Lying on the street, Li Yun seriously wrote these two sentences respectfully on the bound blank scroll. I shook my head and read it for a long time, but I didn't have a follow-up.
Angry, he had hysteria on the street and pounded his head vigorously.
The passers-by were afraid to avoid it, and then looked at Li Yun angrily.
I don't know who shouted: "Disperse, Xu is a sour Confucian." β
This sentence suddenly made Li Yun ruined, and he looked up and looked around, trying to find out the enemy who demolished his platform. Li Kuinu showed to Ruan Xiaoer, who said excitedly: "It's almost noon, two young masters, should you find a restaurant to make up for a while?" β
Li Yun stood up impatiently and muttered: "You know how to eat, how big the family business is that you will be poor." β
But he was hungry too.
Following the fragrance from the street, I entered a restaurant on the street, and before I could enter the door, someone greeted me and said loudly: "Uncle, come and sit here." β
Brother-in-law?
Li Kui was stunned, this guy looks quite good, but he really isn't a relative! How can you call Uncle when you meet? Could it be a mistake, or a trick of street gangsters?
Seeing that Li Kui and the others were stunned, the person who came asked softly: "How many are outsiders?" β
"That's right." Li Kui nodded.
Only then did the person smile and said: "I see, this is the rule of the capital, in the tavern, restaurant, the helper will call the uncle when he sees the guest." Of course, ordinary small shops do not have such rules, only medium shops that can make mats. β
Li Kui said secretly: "It's such a big rule, I almost can't adapt to it." Fortunately, there is no rule of kowtowing and calling a godfather, otherwise it is indispensable to give a change of mouth. β
Shaoqing, a young man dressed like a cook, came to the dining table where Li Kui and the others sat neatly, and asked, "What do you want?" β
"Sheep, ten catties, two pots of rice."
Dr. Xu is tea and rice and wine have never seen such a bold way of eating, so he was taken aback and asked softly, "Don't you want to eat and drink?" β
"Don't drink. Hurry up. After Li Kui finished speaking, he grabbed the hotel guy and asked, "That person was your guy just now?" β
Dr. Cha Rice Drink chuckled, "You two are from a foreign country, right?" β
Well, the Tokyo people of the Great Song Dynasty are hateful, and they are foreigners when they open their mouths. But it's useless to be angry about this, so you can't teach all Tokyoites a lesson, right? Li Kui nodded helplessly and said, "It's the first time I've come to the capital." β
"No wonder, that guy is a street gangster, not my buddy. There are many such helpers in the taverns and restaurants in the capital, and when they see their sons traveling, they help to serve them wholeheartedly, and then get some rewards. "Dr. Cha Rice and Liquor said the mystery. This made Li Kui feel relieved, and he was almost frightened by the extraordinary Song people in Tokyo, it turned out that there was a reason.
Soon the sheep was on the table, and the rice was also served, and the person who greeted Li Kui before came with a young woman, and was a little dumbfounded when he saw Li Kui's table full of rice and rice.
The two of you are so different, do you still listen to small songs?
Li Kui didn't raise his eyes, he carefully pulled the rice, and went down a bowl before he spoke: "Have you eaten it?" β
Goo-dong.
Ten pounds of sheep, if it is a thinner sheep, it is almost half a sheep, how has he ever seen such a bold way of eating.
The helper looked at the sheep directly, shook his head and said, "Not yet?" Waiting for the young master to reward him to eat some indiscriminately. β
"Are you familiar with the road in the capital? Do you want to show the way? β
"Belt."
So the helper was flattered and stood on the side with a rice bowl, the bowl was full of sheep, and a sniff could make people satisfied.
Only the geisha who sang the song played the pipa with a resentful face, and the mistakes in playing made people shake their heads, but she was also aggrieved, she had never seen such a bad situation after so many years in the arts.
There was not even a bowl of wine on the dinner table, only the ding dong sound of pulling the dishes and chopsticks, watching Li Kui eat, he had a lot of food, but he could only sing the song of Lang Concubine on the side, singing and singing, and the two lines of tears were like pearls that had fallen off, falling down in a hurry......
