Zhengyangmen.

Xia Dongyue's team that went south to worship his ancestors is finally about to set off. The 1,000 regiments and battalions and 500 Han generals who accompanied them were in armor and sharp, and they were all very energetic.

Chang Feng personally came to send Xia Dongyue.

In the summer and winter months, you have to go to Tongzhou by land first, and then take a boat south from Tongzhou Wharf.

As soon as Chang Feng came to Zhengyangmen, he saw the double-wheeled carriage that Xia Dongyue was riding.

Chang Feng's face changed, and he yelled: "Chang Po slave!" ”

Chang Ponu walked over: "Father." What's wrong? ”

Chang Feng said angrily: "You are still Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites!" Who can ride in the carriage? Give Miss Xia a donkey cart! ”

According to the system set by the great grandfather, only the royal family, officials, nobles and their wives were allowed to travel in the carriage.

However, in the 138th year since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many of the systems of the great grandfather have been actually broken.

Nowadays, the wealthy merchants and gentry who are a little richer travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Chang Ponu felt that his father's reaction was overdone: "Dad, who cares about this now." Last time, the cook of our family went back to Baoding to visit relatives and sat in a carriage. What's more, Miss Xia is going to be the queen in a few months? ”

Chang Feng scolded his son: "Confused! How many pairs of eyes are staring at Miss Xia now! Before her wedding, she was just a folk girl. What if there is a royal historian who catches on to this matter? ”

"It was originally a trivial matter, but it was made a big fuss by the imperial historian, and it was a big thing."

Chang Ponu said: "It's my son's negligence." Come on, go find two donkeys, get the horses off the wheel, and change them for donkeys! ”

Chang Feng said again: "You have remembered for me that you must be cautious about matters involving regulations along the way." Don't be honest. ”

Chang Ponu arched his hand: "Remember." ”

Zhang Yong and You Jingwu walked over.

Chang Feng said: "Father-in-law Zhang, Jingwu." Miss Xia's safety along the way depends on you. ”

Zhang Yongdao: "Chang Shuaiye rest assured. I have made a military order before the emperor. I also want to keep Miss Xia's safety at risk. ”

I changed the donkey cart. Chang Feng came to the donkey cart and said to Xia Dongyue through the curtain of the carriage: "Miss Xia, be careful all the way. ”

Xia Dongyue was just about to say the title of "father-in-law", when she suddenly remembered that Chang Feng had told her not to reveal her relationship with his father-in-law outside.

Thinking of this, Xia Dongyue said: "There is the governor of Lao Chang who will personally come to see me off." ”

Xia Ru was beside the carriage and made a deep gesture towards Chang Feng: "Governor Chang Du, let's meet again in three and a half months." ”

Chang Feng arched his hand: "This is a long way to Jinling Mountain, I wish you a safe journey." ”

A huge procession of ancestor worshippers began to march. Chang Feng watched them leave.

At this moment, Qiu Ju, one of the Eight Tigers, rode a horse to Zhengyang Gate.

Qiu Ju dismounted: "Master Chang Shuai, Xiyuan Trading Street is open, and the emperor asked you to go over and join in the fun." ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "It's opening so soon?" ”

Chang Feng followed Qiu Ju to Xiyuan.

This trading street in Xiyuan can be described as very lively. The peddlers and pawns are all acting in their true colors, and they are naturally lifelike.

Many of Emperor Zhengde's favorites also joined in and played roles.

Chang Feng walked a few steps and saw a stall selling pork.

The stall owner turned out to be one of the Eight Tigers, Wei Bin, who was in charge of the Four Yong Battalion under Zhang Yong.

Chang Feng is Wei Bin's benefactor. Thirteen years ago, Chang Feng and Liu Daxia traveled south to control the water, and fought with the evil eunuch Guo Qi, who was corrupt and controlled the mercury. Wei Bin, who was originally a eunuch under Guo Qidonkey, turned against the water and took refuge in Chang Feng.

Afterwards, Chang Feng fulfilled his promise, brought Wei Bin into the capital, and introduced him to Liu Jin. Since then, Wei Bin has been on the rise.

Now Wei Bin is no longer the young eunuch like bean sprouts back then. In his thirties, he has grown a lot, tall and big, fat and strong. He doesn't look like a eunuch, but like a general.

A while ago, Wei Bin was promoted by Emperor Zhengde to be the supervising eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and was ranked under Zhang Yong, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Specializing in the four brave battalions of daring, fruitful, effective and drumming. A third of the strength of the 12th regiment and battalion was in his hands.

Not to mention, looking at Wei Bin's size, he really looks like a butcher.

Wei Bin smiled and said: "Chang Dudu, oh no, guest officer, do you want to cut two catties of fresh pig meat?" ”

Chang Feng half-jokingly made it difficult for Wei Bin: "Okay! Cut ten catties of lean meat first, not a little fat, but finely chop into pieces. Cut ten catties of fat again, not a little thin, but also finely chopped into cheeks. Finally, cut ten catties of gold cartilage, there can be no meat foam on the cartilage, and it must be finely chopped into cheeks. ”

Although "Water Margin" is a banned book in the Ming Dynasty, it is now widely circulated among the people, and the story of the Water Margin is well-known.

After Chang Feng finished speaking, Wei Bin begged for mercy again and again: "The guest officer spares his life!" The small ones are not as bad as the town of Kansai. The small one has always been honest, and the small one is the worm. Raise your hand. ”

The two of them were talking. A dung truck passes by.

Man pushing a manure cart. It turned out to be Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang.

These two benevolent brothers do a lot of evil on weekdays, and even dare to be greedy for money on the coffin board of the emperor. Emperor Zhengde was very unkind to these two uncles.

Today, Xiyuan opened a trading street. Emperor Zhengde deliberately disgusted the two and asked them to play the role of "dung picker".

Chang Feng sarcastically mocked the two: "Yo, the two uncles have changed to pick up dung?" ”

Zhang Heling wiped the sweat on his head with a towel: "Yes, it's hot and fresh, do you want to taste the saltiness of Brother Chang?" ”

Zhang Yanling echoed: "You don't need money to taste salty!" ”

Chang Feng scolded with a smile: "Go to yours!" Honestly push your dung trucks! After carefully turning over the dung truck, the two of you have to swim in the sea of dung like maggots. ”

After passing the pork stall, I walked more than a dozen steps to the south, and there was a green building.

The so-called green building is a glazed tile palace courtyard in the West Garden. Several of Emperor Zhengde's bed-warming maids waved silk handkerchiefs at the door.

A maid with heavy makeup and a charming and frivolous appearance beckoned to Chang Feng: "Uncle, come and play." ”

Chang Feng shrank his head in fright. He didn't dare to be a brother-in-law with Emperor Zhengde.

Chang Feng said: "Ah, I am an honest person, and I never visit Fireworks Willow Lane." The girls should look for other guests. ”

Walking further, Chang Feng saw Xu Fatzi.

Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo is grilling lamb skewers in front of an open-air stove. He was dressed as a native of the Western Regions, and he desperately fanned the strings with a big fan.

Seeing that Chang Feng was coming, Xu Fatzi pretended to be a native of the Western Regions and shouted: "Hold the oil, come and taste the fragrant mutton skewers." It's cheap, fifteen wen a string, tear up the oil! ”

Chang Feng walked over: "Just these dozens of strings? It's not enough for the boss to stuff your own teeth. I won't buy it. What about the emperor? ”

Xu Fatzi replied: "There is no emperor here. There is only one straw sandals seller, named Zhu Shou. You go south of the street to find it. ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "The emperor pretends to be a weaver and a peddler? ”

Chang Feng walked a few steps south and saw Liu Jin.

Liu Jin pushed a cart to sell watermelons: "The watermelons that Pang Gezhuang just picked!" Twenty wen a catty, thirty wen two catties. Buy five pounds and get five pounds free. Don't miss it! ”

Pangezhuang where the Xia family lived was rich in watermelons, and since the reign of the Jin Dynasty, Pangezhuang watermelons were tribute melons.

Chang Feng deliberately made things difficult for Liu Jin: "Boss, are you ripe for this melon?" ”

It's a pit. The weather in Shandong is good today, 29 degrees. I'm going to go on a date with Xiangzhu in the evening, and it's still 4,000 words today
