Chapter 20: Jinling has been prosperous since ancient times
Out of Shenjing Jiafu, Jia Yun took a merchant ship and went all the way south to Jinling Mansion.
After walking for half a month, I took a boat to the south, sat on the bow of the boat and watched the scenery along the way, and also had a feeling of going out for a long trip.
Going down the river naturally, Jia Yun came to the famous Jinling Mansion.
"Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial State."
The situation of the mountains and rivers in the world, majestic and magnificent, can be Kyoto, do not exceed Jinling, if the terrain is generous, the pass is dangerous, and the people who always strangle the Central Plains are more than swallows. Although Yun Chang'an has the solidity of Cuihan, Luoyi is the imperial capital in the world, and it is the foundation of hundreds of millions of years of peace.
Jinling has been prosperous since ancient times, and in the previous dynasties, it was the ancient capital of the six dynasties, and has become a super city with a household registration of up to 280,000 households and a population of more than one million.
Jia Yun, who had just come to Jinling Mansion, saw the pedestrians on the dock who were coming and going when he got off the merchant ship, the crowd was surging, rubbing shoulders, and there was a loud atmosphere, and even some porters at the wharf were loading and unloading the goods on the ship, and carrying out the transfer and handling of materials.
This is the largest bustling city in the Jiangnan region, and the location at the entrance of the vegetable market is used to behead the death row prisoners.
However, Jia Yun was not surprised by these novelties, she was used to seeing the busy urban circle, and when she saw such a scene again, her heart was much calmer.
After coming to Jinling Mansion, Jia Yun went to find someone to ask for directions and found Jinling Jia Mansion.
Jinling Jiafu is the ancestral home of Jiafu, and the four major families are in the same breath and branch together, guaranteeing each other, and they are all from Jinling Mansion.
The Xue family, the Wang family, the Shi family, the Jia family.
The foundation of the four major families is all in Jinling Mansion.
It is in this world, in addition to Shenjing being more prosperous than Jinling Mansion, it is rare to find a feng shui treasure that can be comparable to Jinling Mansion in the south.
Pavilions and attics, deep mansion compounds, mighty stone lions, hanging Jiafu plaques, the prosperous place of Jinling, has its own meritorious aristocratic residence.
After Jia Yun came to Jinling Jiafu, she first reported to her home to explain her intentions, and then stood at the door and waited for the door to go in and spread the news.
Jia Yun's eyes looked up and down the entire Jinling Jia Mansion, but the wealthy style lacked a prosperous atmosphere, although it was also magnanimous, it still lacked the arrogance of some upstarts, but there was a kind of gloom of sunset.
After all, Jinling Jiafu is not as good as Shenjing's Jiafu.
Although Jinling Mansion can be regarded as a wealthy family, there are still many difficult places.
As the patriarch of Jinling Jiafu, Jia Daixiu was resting and taking a nap at home, and when he heard that there were distant relatives who came from Shenjing Jiafu outside, he was also puzzled for a while, and said in his heart, "Since this Shenjing Jiafu has been developed, there have been few contacts, why is the sun coming out of the west today?" ”
However, Jia Daixiu didn't think too much about it, since he was a distant relative who came from Shenjing, he had to at least entertain him with a good face.
Otherwise, I am afraid that it will damage the lintel and face of Jiafu in the future.
Immediately, he ordered the maid to wait for the change of clothes, and planned to go out in person to meet this distant relative of Jiafu who came from Shenjing for a while.
After Jia Daixiu sorted out his appearance, he also opened his legs, walked through the corridor and the long pavilion, and came to the location of the corner gate, ordered someone to open the small door of the side door of Jiafu, and walked out with a majestic expression, staring at Jia Yun outside, a pair of small eyes couldn't help but look up and down, "Brocade clothes, handsome appearance, what a talent!" ”
"Who is this person? Shenjing Jiafu, I know the descendants and collateral of the jade generation, but it has never been like this, could it be that this person is a collateral of the grass generation? ”
Jia Daixiu thought about it in his heart, but his face was calm, he smiled and arched his hands, looked at Jia Yun in front of him, and asked, "I don't know if it's the junior of that family?" What's the important thing about our Jinling Jia Mansion again? ”
"My surname is Jia, my name is Yun, and I am the son of the fifth sister-in-law under the west corridor of Rongguo Mansion, and I am also a famous person from Jiafu. Today, I have the courage to come and take the liberty of bothering, one is to take the imperial examination for fame and fame in the imperial examination in Jinling Mansion in February, and the other is to pay tribute to the ancestors, come to visit the ancestors in the ancestral house, and pray for incense to have a good result. ”
Jia Yun thought about it a little when she heard this, and did not mention the fact that she had nowhere to stay, but instead relied on the fame of the imperial examination, highlighting the purpose and goal of her trip and highlighting her talents.
After all, a person can travel thousands of miles from Shenjing to Jinling Mansion to participate in the imperial examination, which in itself speaks to a problem, that is, this person has real skills, and he is by no means a gentleman who only knows the wind and snow and the romance of gambling.
Therefore, Jia Daixiu was also slightly stunned when he heard Jia Yun's words, hesitated, and asked: "You said you want to come to Jinling Mansion to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
"I really want to participate in the imperial examination in Jinling Mansion."
Jia Yun nodded.
Jia Daixiu couldn't help but gasp, since the glory of Jiafu has become bright, the Jia family in the entire Jinling Mansion is not enterprising, and it is similar to the students in the Shenjing Jiafu Clan Studies.
These gentlemen not only forgot the ability of Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong to immediately take fame back then, but they all became powerless gentlemen, and followed Xue Pan of the Xue family all day long to make trouble, misbehaved, did not have a good future, and neglected to study for fame, but I was afraid that the future would be worrying.
Now, there is a person in Shenjing Jiafu who is interested in the imperial examination, which can be regarded as making Jia Daixiu treat Jia Yun differently, and hurriedly invited him into Jinling Jiafu, and entertained him with good wine and food.
Jia Yun first went to the ancestral hall of Jiafu in Jinling to worship the ancestors of Jiafu, showing that he and Jiafu are one heart, the same blood, and he is also knocking on everyone, telling everyone that everyone is a family, I want to take the imperial examination Enke, and I have to arrange things within the accommodation.
Sure enough, after Jia Yun openly worshiped the ancestors of Jiafu in the past dynasties, the people in Jiafu in Jinling treated Jia Yun more kindly, and immediately arranged a small courtyard for Jia Yun, and also arranged a slave and a little maid next to Jia Yun, which can be regarded as giving Jia Yun enough face.
Regardless of whether Jia Yun has real talent and learning, as long as he is willing to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he is a person from Jiafu, and he has to be entertained.
Jia Yun found that her days in Shenjing were far inferior to her current days in Jinling Mansion.
When I was in Shinkyo, I lived in a small poor place, in the courtyard of the alley.
After coming to Jinling Jiafu, he moved into a larger courtyard, and even had servants and maids to serve him, which can be regarded as having the style and demeanor of a three-point son.
