Chapter 4 Searching for Zhang's Mansion
readx;? Cen Qing glanced back at the golden light as he flew away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sure enough, the emperor must be guarded by masters, and judging from the momentum of these people, even if they are not Jindan Zhenren and martial arts masters, it is estimated that they are not much worse.
He sweated slightly, and it was a shame that he didn't let off his murderous aura indiscriminately, otherwise he would have died too aggrieved by being dismembered by the blade.
But shouldn't the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty be Zhao Gou, that guy shouldn't be so young, could it be the new emperor? After all, Yue Fei has been dead for twenty years. While questioning in his heart, he landed in the east of Lin'an City, the heavy snow blocked his vision, and he didn't see clearly in the sky whether Lin'an City was really uneven with 100,000 people.
Cen Qing still has the yellow dress that the snake has transformed on, and it naturally looks very strange in such weather. The emperor had seen more strange things in the palace, so he didn't expect to go elsewhere, but Cen Qing looked down, and still recited the magic trick into a white thick robe and black big coat, with a golden crown on his head and high boots, just like a beautiful son in the turbid world, the only pity is that the eyebrows, eyes and cheeks are not dressed, and he still looks like a girl.
The snow is heavy, there are few pedestrians walking outdoors, and Cen Qing walks fast. Passing through the earthen gate of the outer city, there are no soldiers to stop all the way, stretching two or three miles from the outer city to the inner city, entering the eyes are all low houses, and when he reaches the Chongxin Gate of the inner city, there are soldiers who stop him to collect the city tax, and the tax is only a copper plate without luggage. Cen Qing gave a few more, and by the way, he asked the soldier about the location of Zhang's mansion.
"If the girl asks if the Zhang Gongbu waiter is on the house, go forward from here, turn right into the third alley, and enter the door in front of a pair of stone lions. If you are a member of the Zhang Gong Department, you have to go forward, near the recommended bridge...... If it is Zhang Libu's mansion, enter the door and turn left next to the Fuwang Mansion is ......"
I don't know if the copper money given by Cen Qing is enough, or if the soldier is very idle in the heavy snow, or if he deliberately amuses Cen Qing, he said a few addresses in a row, which made Cen Qing stunned.
"Do you have the ability to repeat it to me again?" Cen Qing said in disbelief, he had long forgotten what Zhang Yu said about whether his family was a staff member or a waiter, a ministry of works or a ministry of rites.
"There are two members of the Ministry of Works, two waiters, one waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and three officials of the Ministry of Rites, who live in ......," the soldier said again like a tongue twister, and added by the way, "There are several other officials surnamed Zhang in the court, but they don't live in Chongxinmen, so they shouldn't be the people you are looking for." ”
"You're so good that I'm speechless. Cen Qing let out a long sigh, convinced by the sharp-tongued soldier, and took out a dozen copper plates from his cuffs and handed them to the soldier, "It's cold, little brother, just take it and buy some wine." The Zhang Mansion I am looking for has a little girl in the house, thirteen or fourteen years old, named Zhang Yu. ”
Although he took the money from Cen Qing's hand, the soldier's face still showed embarrassment: "Girl, this is ...... The name of the girl of the eunuch family is never passed on, why don't you give me a man's name?"
"Then there is only Zhang Zheng, who is a Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain, and he also says that he is an official of the Ministry of Rites. Cen Qing frowned and recalled for a moment, then sighed and said.
"Oh...... It turned out to be Lord Zhang. The soldier listened to Cen Qing's words, and immediately showed a look of sudden realization, "What the girl is looking for is the Zhang family of the Ministry of Works, hey, this little Zhang is a genius, he became a third-grade official at the age of eighteen, although he is an official, but he is also the first one in my Great Song Dynasty." However, I heard that he has only recently come back from the mountain, and he is going to start from a petty official again...... The girl is looking for Xiao Zhang, it must be ......"
He was elated there, and when he raised his head again, he saw that Cen Qing's back had already disappeared into the snow curtain, and he couldn't help smacking his lips, and he couldn't help but hold back a sentence for a while: "Hey, Lord Xiao Zhang is so beautiful." ”
Cen Qing walked fast, didn't hear his muttering, counted the alleys and walked forward more than a hundred zhang, and secretly scolded the rich and noble people in the inner city for being too extravagant. As far as the eye can see, any mansion covers an area of dozens of zhang square, the courtyard is distinct, there are more flower walls to block, the corridors are connected, compared to the gardens he has traveled in his previous life are more delicate and generous, if there is no one to guide the way, I am afraid that it is really like entering the Grand View Garden.
Following the soldier's instructions, he walked to the mouth of the third alley, turned in, and was dumbfounded again. This alley is not long, there are only four or five houses on the opposite door, but there is a pair of stone lions in front of each house, well, some may be Pixiu, some are unicorns, etc., the key is that Cen Qing, a guy who has failed history, has no way to tell.
In desperation, he could only use the stupid method and go from house to house to look at the plaque.
The first one in the west of the lane, no plaque.
The first one in the east of the lane, there is no plaque.
The second house in the west of the alley, there is a plaque, but what the hell is this "Yongning Bofu"?
The second house in the east of the lane, there is also a plaque, with six big characters on it: General Wuwei's residence.
Then Cen Qing stopped moving forward, and he suddenly found that he was illiterate in this era, and what about the "Zhang Mansion", "Wang Mansion", "Zhao Mansion", and "Li Mansion"? Why are all the plaques with plaques being titles, and those without plaques are not embarrassed to hang up because the officials are too small?
Cen Qing was full of indignation in his chest, but fortunately he still had one last method: thousands of miles of transmission.
Standing in the middle of the alley, he suddenly escaped from his spirit, and shouted heavily in mid-air: "Zhang Zheng Zheng Zheng, come out for me!"
"Who's so noisy?"
With the sound of the squeaky doorway, the door of the second house in the west of the lane was suddenly opened, and a white-haired old man poked his head out, coughed twice, stared at the faint old eyes, looked at Cen Qing who was standing in the middle of the road, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Cen Qing was stunned, the shouts of the divine soul could not be heard by others except for the cultivators, this old man seemed to be able to be blown away by a gust of wind, and he was actually a monk?
"Isn't the old man Zhang Tianshi?" Cen Qing remembered her great-grandfather mentioned by Zhang Yu, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
"What Zhang Tianshi, my surname is Wang. The old man snorted coldly, turned around and slammed the door again.
Cen Qing just straightened up, and found that he had eaten a closed door, so he had to wave his hand curtly, and said, "Hello, Lao Wang next door." ”
"The Zhang family you're looking for is over there. Cen Qing was about to leave, the old man reopened the door, pointed to the door of the first house in the east of the lane, and without waiting for Cen Qing to thank him, he asked, "I heard that there is a joke in your tone, do you have any allusions to the four words Lao Wang next door?"
"Uh......" Cen Qing didn't expect this person to be so curious, and said embarrassedly, "It's literally, the old Wang who lives next door to the Zhang family." ”
"If the words are vulgar, then you should call me Elder Wang. The old man said with disdain, and then continued to slam the door, which frightened Cen Qing again, for fear that he would break the door with such great strength.
After a while, Zhang Zheng walked out of the first house in the east of the alley wearing a green shirt, with a smile on his face: "I really can't imagine it, you also have a time when you are deflated?"
"When you understand what the old king next door means, you won't laugh like that. ”
"What else does it mean?"
"The north wind blows, the autumn breeze is cool, whose wife guards the empty house......" Cen Qing sang.
"Oh, it's straightforward, it sounds a bit like Northland Paradise. Zhang Zheng heard him suddenly start singing, and waited curiously for him to sing.
"Your family is in trouble, I'll help, I live next door, my surname is Wang. ”
As Zhang Zheng's face suddenly darkened, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly sounded behind the closed door of the "Yongning Bo Mansion". (To be continued.) )
