Cheng Zi'an spent the hardest two days of his life.

In addition to eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, it is to read and write homework. Even when he went to the toilet, Cheng Zhen kept outside with a stick, and after staying for a long time, the stick in his hand crackled: "Did you fall into the toilet?"

Cheng Zi'an cried and chirped, and there were countless disadvantages. The good thing is that Cheng Zhen remembers the homework assigned by the school, and he was forced to finish it all in the past two days.

Debt-free and light, Cheng Zi'an was like being released from prison, he was finally able to see the light of day again and start playing.

Before dawn in the morning, Cheng Zi'an was called up by Cui Suniang to wash, and Aunt Qin boiled a pot of medicinal soup and washed him clean from head to toe. Cui Suniang took the realgar wine again, pointed it on his forehead and ears, and hung an insect repellent sachet on his waist.

The gate of Cheng's house is full of wormwood and calamus. Qingchuan had already finished sweeping the yard and changed into clean clothes, just like Cheng Zi'an, with a sachet hanging around his waist.

I had breakfast in a hurry, and it was just dawn. Lao Zhang set up the oxcart and donkey cart, Cheng Zhen took Cui Suniang and Cheng Zi'an to sit on the donkey cart, Aunt Qin and Yunduo Qingchuan took the ox cart together, locked the gate, and all set off to Fucheng to see the excitement.

The car drove for about half an hour before it reached the city gate. There was a long queue of carriages and horses entering the city, and Cheng Zi'an stretched out his neck and looked very energetic.

The carriages and horses are divided into ox carts, donkey carts, and carriages, and the donkey carts and ox carts of the Cheng family have carriage roofs, which are not as luxurious as the carriages of large households, but they are stronger than the board carts where people and goods are crowded together and the oxen are pulled.

The carriage entered the city quickly, and the gate guards waved respectfully as soon as they saw the logo on the carriage. When they arrived at the cart pulled by the ox, the guard's expression changed, and he was obviously impatient, and shouted and reprimanded from afar: "Come down and come down, there are many people in the city, and you are not allowed to drive in, and you can afford to provoke the nobles?" ”

The driver of the ox cart stopped the cart and said a few words to the people in the cart. The people on the cart got out of the cart with baskets, and the coachman drove the ox cart to the shed by the city gate, and spent two large sums of money to store the oxen in the shed.

The people carried the basket and nodded to the guards who were inspecting, extremely respectful. The guard didn't even lift his eyelids, and he was very arrogant and let go.

Finally arrived at Cheng's two cars, the guards glanced at them casually, and waved without saying a word.

Lao Zhang hit the donkey and walked into the city gate, the light in front of him was bright and dark, Cheng Zi'an lay on the window lattice, and couldn't help laughing.

What a clear hierarchy!

It's not necessarily the good guy who drives a good car, but it's definitely the best pass.

Cheng Zi'an turned back to Cheng Zhen and said, "Daddy, let's go buy a horse for our family." ”

Cheng Zhen glared at him and said, "Can you afford it?" Compare yourself less. ”

Cheng Zi'an snorted lazily, he had a horse in his previous life, and he knew that it was expensive to buy a horse, and it was even more expensive to raise a horse.

Playing horses and watching flowers, fighting cocks and lackeys, the standard configuration of squirrel.

Playing donkeys and watching flowers is really weak!

After entering the city, the streets and alleys were full of people. The dragon boat race was held in Qinghe, and the road leading to the river began to be congested early.

The merchant took the opportunity to sell the burden, and the people who sold food and fresh fruit, and even the vendors who sold cats and dogs, shuttled flexibly through the crowd.

Lao Zhang was familiar with the road and drove through the streets and alleys to the alley where Cui's family lived. There is no lack of liveliness in the tranquility of the alley, and there is a street across the two alleys, with grocery stores, food shops, cloth shops and other shops lined up one after another.

As soon as you enter the alley, the hustle and bustle of the street is cut off from the outside, and it becomes peaceful and quiet. The elm trees that protrude from the courtyard wall are full of greenery, and the sun shines through the elm leaves.

Cui Wen and Cui Wu live next to each other across a courtyard wall. The two were already waiting at the door, and when they saw the car coming, Cui Wen in front and Cui Wu behind, the two of them had a smile on their faces, and hurriedly stepped forward to raise the curtain.

Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang got out of the car and smiled at each other. Cui Wu's long arm stretched out, and before Cheng Zi'an could come back to his senses, he was caught under his armpit, and his laughter was vibrating in his ears: "Like a beautiful little girl, nephew Uncle Xiao, it seems that this appearance is with me!" ”

Cui Wen slapped his arm and scolded with a smile: "Don't let go yet!" If he looked like you, Zi'an would have cried. ”

Cui Wu let go of Cheng Zi'an, raised his hand and flicked the crooked bag above his head, and said, "Let's go, go into the house and sit and talk." ”

The newly harvested wheat and the flour from the ground taste particularly fragrant, Cui Suniang specially brought a cloth bag for each of the two brothers, plus a large box for the sister-in-law, nephews and nieces.

While commanding Lao Zhang and Qingchuan to move the gifts down, Cheng Zhen asked, "Second brother didn't go on patrol today?" ”

Cui Wudao: "My sister finally came back once, so I took a leave of absence and came back to take you to the Qinghe River." There are so many people over there that it's hard for you to squeeze in on your own. ”

Cui Wen glanced at the sky and said, "It's not an outsider, let's not rest, we have to hurry up and wait for more people." ”

Cheng Zhendao was the same, Cui Wu was about to rush to duty, and shouted at the house with his throat: "Let's go, come out quickly!" ”

Cheng Zi'an laughed horribly when he heard it, Cui Wusheng was mighty and majestic, and his voice was even more powerful than his physique.

The facial features of the three brothers and sisters actually look like fifty percent, Cui Wen Siwen, you can guess at a glance that they are brother and sister. Cui Wu looked like an outsider because of his momentum and other reasons.

Cui Wu roared for a while, and footsteps sounded in the two courtyards one after another. Cui Wen's wife Xu and Cui Wu's wife Fang walked out with their children, plus their mother-in-law and maids, they were very powerful.

Everyone greeted each other, and Cheng Zi'an recognized that the heads were all big.

Cui Wen has two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son Cui Yaozu is fifteen years old. The second son, Cui Yaozong, is thirteen years old, he doesn't like to read, and now he is learning to be a scribe by Cui Wen's side. The youngest daughter Cui Yu is six years old this year, she was born with a cute jade snow, the little girl loves beauty, and she is in the period of changing her teeth.

Cui Wu only has a son and a daughter, and his eldest son Cui Yaoguang is also thirteen years old and studies in a private school in the city. Daughter Cui He is nine years old, she is older and more sensible, so she pulled Cui Yu and said, "Wait for a lot of people, sister, don't run around." ”

Cui's house is not far from the Qinghe dragon boat race, and it takes about two sticks of incense to walk. Cui Wen Cui Wu Cheng Zhen walked in front, Cui Su Niang and Xu's Fang clan took their children, and walked towards the Qing River under the support of their mother-in-law and maids.

Cui Yaoguang was instructed by Cui Wu to take care of Cheng Zi'an, although he was impatient to play with the little kid, he was still obedient in the end, seeing Cheng Zi'an looking around as he walked, he quickly stretched out his hand to protect him, and said, "Zi'an, be careful, don't be bumped into." ”

Cheng Zi'an replied, but he was still attracted by the excitement on the street.

It's not that the streets are so busy, he's just curious. In front of him was a real antique street, and the fireworks in the world were blowing in his face, and he really felt for the first time that he had arrived in Da Zhou.

That curiosity soon turned into deep melancholy and loneliness.

He's really in the Great Zhou!

Along the way, Cheng Zi'an was quiet. The more crowded he got to the Qing River, Cui Wu was wearing the errand clothes of the yamen, with a big knife on his waist, he shouted all the way, and the crowd in front of him saw that it was an official errand and spontaneously made a way.

Cheng Zi'an stepped forward with everyone and stood still in a corner where his line of sight was still good.

The best place to watch the dragon boat is to build a high platform, along both sides of the high platform, set up tents one after another, separated from other people. The maid stood outside the tent, waiting for the dispatch.

The dragon boats parked in the river are ready to go, and just wait for the prefect to order, and the dragon boat race will officially begin.

There was another disturbance, Cheng Zi'an looked at it smoothly and saw a dignified middle-aged man in an official uniform, talking to a chubby old man beside him, walking towards the high platform that was built.

One step behind them, followed by a few men in official uniforms and brocade robes. Although Cheng Zi'an didn't know him, seeing Cui Wu carrying a knife to protect them, he guessed that the previous official was probably the prefect of Mingzhou.

At the end of this group of people, Cheng Zi'an finally saw an acquaintance.

Xin Jinian's lips were swollen, and he was wearing a bright red poplin shirt, holding his head high, and the toes on his body were swaggering and proud.

When he arrived at the tent closest to the high platform, Xin Jinian didn't go in, but said a few words to the man in fancy clothes, and stood outside the tent.

Xin Jinian looked around inadvertently and arrogantly, he seemed to see Cheng Zi'an in the corner, and the corners of his mouth glanced down with disdain.

Soon, Xin Jinian looked away, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and said a few words to the little guy beside him.

The little guy persuaded a few words, and when he saw that Xin Jinian was annoyed and raised his hand to fight, he hurriedly bowed down and walked towards the place he was pointing.

Cheng Zi'an looked at it, Fang Daniu was squatting on the side of the road, with straw crickets and insects in front of him, trying to sell them.

Fang Yin followed him, holding a half-used purse in his hand, helping him collect money.
