Chapter Seventy-Seven: Look at the Great Song
"The Imperial City made Cao Xiu see Xiaolang."
"The villains Di Qing, Shi Yu, Zhang Zhong, Li Yi, Liu Qing, have seen Xiaolang."
Several people saw Zhao Jun come out and saluted him.
"Hello, hello."
Zhao Jun also followed their example and bowed back, but his eyes kept wandering over Di Qing's face.
Di Qing seemed to notice the other party's gaze and subconsciously lowered his head.
In the Great Song Dynasty, it is not a good thing to have tattoos on the face, and it is possible to be spit on the ground by the men in the market when walking on the street.
"Xiaolang, the official family let us protect you in the future, Di Qing is the commander of the battalion, and we will be sent from now on."
Cao Xiu lowered his head and said, "Xiaolang's house is just outside the Xihua Gate, not far from the palace, please come with me." β
"Thank you, thank you."
Zhao Jun bowed his hand politely, turned his head and said to Wang Shouzhong: "Old Wang, thank the official family for me." β
"Yes, then I'll send it not far away."
Wang Shouzhong bent on his waist, which shocked everyone, including Cao Xiu.
In fact, Cao Xiu didn't know Zhao Jun's identity.
Because the Imperial City Division is the eyes of the officials, what the officials want to know will let the Imperial City Division investigate.
But if it is something that the official family itself knows, it will naturally not be the turn of the Imperial City Division.
Therefore, the order Cao Xiu received was that Wang Shouzhong would bring a young man to Xihuamen today and let them come to greet him.
From then on, Cao Xiu was responsible for protecting this young man in secret, and Di Qing, as the commander of the imperial camp, was responsible for leading a battalion of people to protect him in the open.
In other words, the official family directly sent a battalion, plus the entire Imperial City Division to protect it in secret, which has greatly aroused Cao Xiu's curiosity.
Now that he saw Wang Shouzhong's respectful attitude towards this young man, he was even more shocked by Zhao Jun's true identity.
Isn't it.
The first emperor had illegitimate children.
This kid is the younger brother of the official family?
Cao Xiu thought wildly.
Here, Zhao Jun said hello to Wang Shouzhong again, and dragged his suitcase to leave.
Di Qing and the others woke up like a dream, and hurriedly came up to help with things.
Zhao Jun did not refuse their kindness, and now he has a good relationship with Di Qing, which will be a good thing for himself and the other party in the future.
Soon Zhao Jun waved goodbye to Wang Shouzhong, and then went into the city gate cave and broke into the Great Song Bianliang City.
At this time, it was early in the morning, and the entire Bianliang seemed to come to life, and before leaving the palace, he had heard the voices of people outside the city, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and it was getting clearer and clearer.
The gates of the imperial city were open, still full of guards, I don't know how many soldiers patrolled the city walls, and the streets were already full of people.
But the people were gathered on the other side of the street, and the side near the walls of the imperial city was empty.
Being close to the Imperial City for no reason, a capital offense!
When Zhao Jun walked out, the first thing that caught his eye was several magnificent ancient buildings.
These buildings are basically between two and three storeys high, built with tall round red lacquered beams, and the upper floors have protruding eaves, and the four corners of the eaves are upturned to form a cornice bucket arch, and the four corners of the upturned bells are also hung.
The second and third floors of one of the tall buildings faced a large hall protruding from the street, which should be a good place for the upstairs to sit and stick their heads out to see the scenery below.
Downstairs from time to time people in and out, the door of the left side of the door hanging "Xiangding Building" three words of the wooden sign, the right side of the writing "Zhengdian" two big characters!
Then look all the way to the west along this restaurant called Xiangding Building, and you will see a very long street extending out of the west, there are such buildings all over the street, and there are many shops on the street, and the people who come and go are dressed in extremely rich and noble clothes, basically silk clothes.
The streets on the left and right sides are paved with bluestone slabs, and the left side of the street is a street, and the right side is also a street.
And the street is not only high-rise buildings, but also luxuriant vegetation, towering trees can be seen everywhere, corridors are shaded, hanging windows and bamboos, sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, it seems to be able to catch the branches and leaves outside the window.
To the north and south, that is, Zhao Jun went out of the city gate on both sides of the left and right farther places, you can see a river canal running through the street, the river built an arch bridge, people coming and going on the bridge, building a very beautiful scenery picture.
"Come on, come on, drink tea, delicious almond tea, fragrant crispy tea, light vegetarian tea, and snacks."
"Dumpling, Dumpling, just out of the pot, guest officer, do you want to have some breakfast?"
"Fresh and meaty mutton soup, with two pith cakes, a bowl in the morning, and a whole day of energy!"
"Cooking cakes, selling cooking cakes. The freshly steamed pancakes in the morning are fragrant and sweet. β
"Guest officer, our family's fine powder skewer is a must in Bianliang, do you want one? Only eighteen texts. β
οΌ
Most of the streets are selling breakfast, the surrounding area of the imperial city belongs to the inner city, the inner city is extremely prosperous, the ground is expensive, whether the criss-crossing market is out to work, or go out to do business, you have to find your favorite shop to have a breakfast.
There are many kinds of shops on the street, and the hawkers, stallholders, and busy traffic make you feel like you are in a world that has never been before, and it is full of novelty.
Zhao Jun's expression was a little dazed, even if he had already had a certain expectation in his heart, seeing the prosperity of this real ancient society still gave him a lot of impact.
How much essence can be imitated in film and television dramas?
The reason why people are integrated into this world is because they give their own meaning to life.
Some people are thirsty for knowledge, some are curious about the unknown, and some people have a longing for life and an unyielding fate.
Zhao Jun used to think that he would integrate into this world because he had no choice but to passively accept it.
But today I think.
It's good to be part of this world.
At least this kind of market atmosphere makes him feel that he is still a "living" person, not like a god, looking down on this strange world.
"Xiaolang, I don't know if you have eaten breakfast. Bianliang's breakfast is a must, the northern food of the Li Sijia and Duan family, the southern food of the Jin family and the Zhou family, the oil cake of the Zhang family and the Zheng family, the steamed buns of the Wanjia family, the gourd soup of the Shi family, and the vegetarian tea of the Ding family. β
Cao Xiu walked in the front and introduced him with a smile: "There are also Granny Cao's meat cakes, Wang Daoren's candied fruit, Lujia steamed buns, and the door polish, chrysanthemums, wide coke, side thickness, pith cakes, and new kinds of hemp sold by the "Hu Cake Shop" have been famous for a long time, if I am free today, I can take Xiaolang for a walk." β
"Hmm. I happened to be free during the day today, so I put my things back and take a look around Bianliang City. β
Zhao Jun stepped forward and plunged into this prosperous scene.
This whole square market is the right chamber Changqing Fang, the location of Qingtai Street is on the south side, out of Xihua Gate, about three streets to the south.
Cao Xiu introduced him to the food of Qingtai Street, the interesting places around and the beautiful scenery.
The official family gave him a thousand yuan before he came out, which doesn't seem like much, but if this money is used by a normal person, it is enough for a lifetime, basically even if he goes to the most prosperous Washe, it is not a problem to spend a few days and nights in it.
However, Cao Xiu's words had already made Zhao Jun unable to listen, he was a little absent-minded, just quietly looking at the city, curiously looking at every shop on the street, every pedestrian, just like an ordinary passerby, and did not have too much nostalgia for everything here.
Along the way, he saw a lot of peddlers and pawns, many commercial shops, and many dignitaries. There were sedan chairs, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, ox carts, and some fast catchers patrolling the streets, and at the end of the street there was a corner tower with lookouts standing observing the things in the city.
Walking through these streets, all kinds of scents, smells, shouts, and noises mingle together. The voices of the south and the north converged, and the sea of people surged, like a boat on the countless rivers and canals of Bianliang City.
Soon they came to a house, this courtyard is not a luxury courtyard, just an ordinary house, outside the house is a blue brick wall, after opening the door you can see a courtyard, the yard is quite spacious, there may be three or four hundred square meters, planted two apricot trees.
There were still five or six people in the courtyard, standing against the wall with their hands around the eaves of the main hall, or squatting on the steps and looking down at the rammed ground of the courtyard, or simply lying on the brick platform of the main hall and looking up at the sky, there must have been five or six of themβall of them, without exception, with a saber hanging from their waists.
Seeing Cao Xiu coming in with people, these people hurriedly got up, they had been waiting here for more than an hour, and they were really a little bored.
Cao Xiu introduced the situation to Zhao Jun.
They are the spies of the Imperial City Division, the first spy agency of the Great Song Dynasty, and the originator of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, but they are much worse than the Jinyiwei, although they are the emperor's minions, but the power is only in Bianliang Kyoto, unlike the Jinyiwei all over the country.
And they only have the right to investigate, not to judge. Even if the evidence of the crime is caught, it can only be sent to Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion for conviction, and the power is too far behind the arrogant and domineering Jinyiwei.
These people are the masters of the Imperial City Division, and they are ordered to be responsible for protecting Zhao Jun's mansion, which can be regarded as a housekeeper, in addition, when he travels, I am afraid that there are at least dozens of spies from the Imperial City Division secretly protecting him, plus Di Qing and other guards on the bright side, this bodyguard lineup is really outrageous.
Zhao Jun knew his importance, so he didn't care about the number of men around him. Enter the front yard, facing the door is the hall, it is the appearance of the ordinary Song Dynasty main hall, there are four Taishi chairs on the left and right sides, the main seat is located under the main wall, and the main wall is hung with landscape paintings.
There is a passage on the left and right sides of the main wall to walk directly to the atrium, the atrium is not big, about 200 square meters, there is also a big tree, there is a stone round table under the tree, this kind of table can not be on the table, so it is often placed in the backyard when sitting idle.
After passing the atrium, it is a study, behind the study is the master bedroom, and there are wings and second bedrooms on the left and right sides of the atrium.
But according to Cao Xiu, this house is worth more than 10,000 yuan. Because this is the commercial center of the inner city, the price of private houses is extremely expensive.
If it is a mansion, it will cost more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands, and even if Lu Yijian's financial resources want to buy a mansion covering an area of several acres in the inner city, it is estimated that he has to weigh it.
Zhao Jun just took a rough look at the place where he was going to live for a long time in the future, asked Cao Xiu Diqing and them to wait outside the door, hid the suitcase under the bed, and put the backpack into the suitcase, the box has a lock, unless it is by violence, it is impossible to open it secretly.
After putting down his things, Zhao Jun walked out of the house.
He wanted to see this Bianliang City.
Look at this Great Song.
