Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 82 Ping'an County
Walking the rivers and lakes, the world only sees the heroes coming and going like the wind, and how heroic and chivalrous they are between shots, but few people know that the rivers and lakes are not just swords and swords, but also the daily clothing, food, housing and transportation are not small problems.
"Clothes" and "line" are good to say, who goes out is not wearing clothes, there are legs to walk, but accommodation and eating is not a small problem, first say accommodation, because there are mostly bandits and robbers outside the city, so generally only in the city there are inns, and like the Taiping Inn directly outside the city, either there is something to rely on, or it is a black shop, so many times can only sleep in the open air, to the sky as the quilt, to the status of the seat, the sunny weather is good, if it is the weather, frost, rain and snow, the bitterness is really not enough for outsiders.
In addition, it is to eat, as long as you have not set foot in the innate realm for a day, you can not eat without grains for a day, and you can carry dry food on your body, but like Li Xuandu, who is pregnant with the treasure of mustard seeds, how many people can carry it? The dry food that can be carried with you is very limited, and if it is in an inaccessible place, there is a danger of running out of cooking, and after a long time, the dry food you carry with you is cold and hard, like a stone, and it is difficult to swallow. If you are in the mountains and wilderness, it is not difficult to find game, but it is really troublesome to do it yourself, and there is no seasoning to taste, and the taste of barbecue is also not flattering.
Therefore, walking the rivers and lakes is not as freehand as many fledgling stunned young people imagine, but it is actually a technical job.
Zhou Shuning followed Li Xuandu to walk the rivers and lakes during this period of time, although Li Xuandu took good care of her, and she didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it was still a little hard, just traveling dozens or even hundreds of miles every day made her very tired, so now that she finally has a carriage to travel, the little girl's excitement can be imagined.
The carriage is prepared by Lingxiu Villa, except for all the signs, the whole carriage is also plain, there is no shock-absorbing structure of the dignitaries, and the horses pulling the carriage are also plain, fortunately, in Jingzhou is the range of the south of the Yangtze River, the post road system is perfect and developed, the road surface is wide and smooth, enough to make the carriage run without hindrance, and there will not be too much bumpy feeling.
Li Xuandu and Zhou Shuning were in the carriage, and Li Xuandu supervised the little girl's practice, and also taught her some exercises and tricks, Hu Liang could only act as a coachman, Li Xuandu said with a smile, let a master of the innate realm act as a coachman, not to mention ordinary magnates, I am afraid that no one in the princely clan can have such a big hand.
Jiuhe Mansion is known as the convergence of nine rivers, it can be seen that its terrain is complex, even the officials and troops of the Governor's Office can not be completely blocked, and the Governor does not want to make a big move here, the group of people out of Jiuhe Mansion safe and sound, non-stop into the territory of Jingzhou Shuiyang Mansion, this road finally did not Qingluanwei jump out to block the road, five or six counties of the distance, without waves.
In these days, the three of them rarely go into the city to stay, usually in the wilderness, fortunately at this time it is just the autumn weather, not too cold, let the little girl cover a few more clothes, in the carriage can barely spend the night, Hu Liang and Li Xuan are in front of the carriage, will deal with the night. For them, the old rivers and lakes, this hardship is really nothing.
After about ten years of walking, there is only one Ping'an County left from Jiangling Mansion, the little girl lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, unlike the north that has gradually shown yellow, Jiangnan is still quite green, at a glance, it makes people feel refreshed. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, the people living in this land, the folk customs are not as strong and martial as the bitter cold northwest, the soft and soft Wu Nong's soft language, and the delicate female figure is another style.
Ping'an County, although it is the county seat, is really famous.
The entire Shuiyang Mansion knows that there are two major families in Ping'an County, one is the wealthy Long family, and the other is the scholarly Sun family, and the two divide Ping'an County into two, each accounting for half. The former has a deep relationship with Jing Zen Buddhism, and its contemporary head of the family is a lay disciple of Jing Zen Buddhism, and is one of the eyes and ears of Jing Zen Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River. The latter is not much different, it is a side branch of the Sun family of the wealthy family of Songyin Mansion, a family of officials and eunuchs for generations, a scholarly portal, and passed down from generation to generation. The two families are rooted here, but they seem to be one article and one martial arts, complementing each other.
The carriage drove in the direction of Ping'an County, and Li Xuandu began to introduce the customs and customs of this place to the little girl who was lying on the window and watching the scenery, "Even if you look at the entire Jiangnan, the Sun family is the premier wealthy family, and there are 200,000 acres of fertile land in Songyin Mansion, which is almost half the area of Songyin Mansion, and now the first assistant of the current dynasty, Sun Songchan, who is also the emperor of the dynasty, was born in the Sun family." Speaking of Sun Songchan, his father Sun Xincun once served as a cabinet scholar in the Sejong Dynasty, and he himself made poems, painting between them, especially famous calligraphy, young learning Europe, Chu, beginner Dong, rice, after middle age by Qian Yan, and not bound by the word Yan, the knot is wide and open, the strokes are strong and powerful, the style is vigorous, Pu Mao is graceful, in the sixth year of Ming Yong, he won the champion, successively served as the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, Cabinet scholar, first served as the crown prince and prince, after the little emperor ascended the throne, he was crowned as a young master, and was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, which was the emperor of the dynasty, and his authority was immeasurable for a while. ”
"Now this Ping'an County Sun is the side branch of the Sun family of Songyin Mansion, the family of scholars for generations, each generation has a person who is an official, from the county order of the seventh grade to the six servants of the second grade, the protégé and the colleagues of the same year are countless, and they have considerable influence between the government and the opposition. ”
"Since the Long family can stand side by side with the Sun family in Ping'an County, in addition to its identity as a quiet Zen sect, it itself is also quite good, and there are many masters, and now this generation of the Long family master Long Yuyun is quite good, whether it is the congenital realm or the true realm is not easy to say, it is said that he had a discussion with Zhang Luanshan back then, and he was unlucky, Zhang Luanshan was at the peak at that time, and it can be called an invincible opponent under the true realm. Later, he had a fight with Yan Feiqing, who had not yet set foot in the realm of returning to the truth, although his Jing Zen Sect marrow washing skill was finally defeated by Yan Feiqing's Zhengyi Pure Yang Gong, but it can also be regarded as a defeat but still honorable. After that, it was a retreat practice, and when he rarely made a move, I don't know if he has set foot in the realm of returning to the truth now. ”
......
Ping'an County is near the river, and there is a wharf not far from the city gate. The river passes through the jurisdiction of Ping'an County and separates the entire Shuiyang Mansion and Jiangling Mansion, and finally merges into the rolling river of Haohao soup.
At this time, a two-story boat went down the river, and then turned into Jingshui, passing through Jiangling and Shuiyang in Jingzhou. The exterior decoration of this building ship is extremely gorgeous, carved beams and paintings, hanging brocade, and there is even the sound of silk and bamboo faintly coming out from behind the brocade soft yarn, and the sound of the surging river is contrasting.
At this time, there is a woman standing on the second floor of the building boat, who is the palace official who once appeared in the Longmen Inn of Longmen Mansion.
People in the world often say that the big fake is like the truth, and the big treachery is like loyalty, so if you put it on a woman, it will be like a big demon like a fairy.
In the pavilion behind her, there are twelve women, holding various musical instruments, and the sound of various silk and bamboo from the building boat is played by them, these women are all beautiful, all of them are graceful, and they are dressed in various colors of gauze clothes.
There were two other people on the left and right beside the palace official, one of whom was dressed as a woman, combing her hair in a bun as high as a cloud, with a cold and solemn attitude, and she did not smile. She held a long sword in her arms, and the head of the long sword was decorated with a red sword spike, which had some resemblance to the literati sword. The other person is a young man, burly, resolute, a pair of eyes overflowing, so that people can know at a glance that this person is a good cultivator, if you have a few chances, into the rivers and lakes people dream of the realm of truth, it is not an idiot's dream, and he also wore a long knife suitable for battlefield killing at his waist, exuding a sharp killing aura.
A man and a woman, a sword and a sword, are a good match.
The palace officials stood in the wind, their clothes fluttering, and their demeanor was refined.
She looked at Ping'an County, which could be seen in the distance, and whispered to herself: "Ping'an County, it's the right time." ”
