Chen Longting took the jade wrench given by the ancestor, and quickly ran to the door of the mansion, panting while looking at the four King Kongs, and said proudly:

"Uncle Tiger, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Lei, Uncle Ma, the old ancestor said, I can go out today!"

The four of them saw Xiao Longting running over from afar, and they thought it was strange at the time, seeing him say this, they thought that this little guy wanted to fool around again, it seems that the lessons of the first few failures are not enough.

The second brother, Jiang Donghu, looked down at Xiao Budian, grinned and said:

"Little one, you want to go out, right? The ancestor agreed? We don't believe it! Liars are not good children. ”

"Who lied to you, this is the jade wrench that the ancestor gave me. After Chen Longting finished speaking, he handed the jade wrench to the four King Kongs.

Jiang Hudong took a closer look at the jade wrench, yes, it was a token of Old Lady Chen, so the four of them glanced at each other, and after nodding, they all said to Chen Longting:

"Okay, did the old lady tell me where you are allowed to go?"

Chen Longting's eyes rolled slightly, and he remembered the words of the old ancestor, so he replied:

"Of course, there is a saying, the ancestor said, I am only allowed to go around at the gate, which is where our archway goes. "Hehe, the ancestor said that the door of the house, which means the door of his house, the gate is also the gate haha, I like to play word games the most.

"Okay, little one, let you out, we have to have at least two people with you, and you can't get out of our sight, you know?"

"I know, Uncle Tiger, don't worry! I will definitely be obedient. ”

Xiao Longting danced happily, almost jumped up and continued:

"Let's go, hurry up, I'm suffocating during this time!"

The four of them all looked down at Xiao Longting, who was wearing a tiger skin hat and a woolen fur, and the little guy looked happy, as if he was about to fly.

Leaving the two of them, Jiang Donghu and the fourth Lei Guangyao followed the little guy to the door.

Chen Longting took the lead, walked in front, walked to the threshold in a few steps and stopped, looked at the wooden threshold almost to his chest, and couldn't help but think, I remember that in tomb robbery novels, it is often mentioned that the threshold has an important meaning in Feng Shui, and there will be a threshold at the entrance of the gate in traditional Chinese architecture. Its role in Feng Shui is to block external unfavorable factors from entering the home and prevent the leakage of talent (wealth) and qi. Is this 'unfavorable factor' a god horse? Is it a zombie? Haha, according to the wild history of the early Republic of China, there were zombies, you must see it one day, you feel exciting to think about it, hehe, unlike later generations, the relevant news have been harmonized, and it is not clear whether there are zombies in the world.

After Lao Tzu died, wouldn't my tomb be robbed?

Chen Longting took two steps back, sprinted, grabbed the threshold with both hands to go to the grave, propped up his body and sat on the threshold, and in an instant, he rotated to the other end, and the end of the movement was neat.

Haha, my skills are still so good, just kidding, I used to be a member of the school's Flying Tigers, but I often go out over the wall to cut legends on the Internet, how can this small threshold be me?

Chen Longting, with his hands behind his back, holding a small belly, walked forward with a smile on his face, and the two uncles Jiang Donghu and Lei Guangyao behind him crossed the threshold in one step.

"Young owner, do you want to go out to play, take us with you!"

"yes, yes, we want to hang out too. ”

Hearing the voice from behind, Chen Longting turned around and saw that it were his three little followers, and when he saw that they also wanted to go out with him, he was not happy, and thought, Master, I finally went out once, and I want to feel the customs of the Republic of China, what kind of trouble are you going to make here?

"Go, go, go, what do you mean, little kids, go back to playing in the mud, the outside world is dangerous. ”

"Shaodong, can you take us out, we only went out for a while last time when we celebrated the New Year. Ge Erdan saw that the young owner didn't agree, so he sold a cute and said, knowing that Chen Longting didn't eat this set at all, leaving only two words:

"Fuck off!!!" said and turned around and left.

Looking at the two stone lions in front of his house, he is really mighty and domineering! Haha, the ancestral house of the Chen family, but it is at the level of a mansion, and it was called the Chen Mansion in the former Qing Dynasty.

Jiang Hudong and Lei Guangyao watched the little guy scolding with smiles on their faces, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, both of them saw each other's surprise, and they both thought in their hearts, this scolding feeling is really like a big brother.

In fact, it makes sense not to let children go out, in the early days of the Republic of China, warlords fought everywhere, born in troubled times, without the company of adults, six or seven-year-old children went out, and they would definitely be deceived by traffickers in a short time.

Chen Longting walked down the stone steps in a few steps, and walked towards the busy Chen family archway in the distance, and the two fat guards behind him were only three steps away from each other.

As far as the eye can see, the north side of the archway is the street, in which the pedestrians are endless, and the land in the west is gradually getting higher, looking up at the mountains, one of them is the most magnificent and covers the widest area, the green shadow is heavy, the mountains are full of green, many of them are cedar trees, as well as some evergreen trees, but there are not many deciduous trees.

This is 'Qingfeng Mountain', I didn't expect that such a beautiful mountain in the future would be hollowed out, which made Chen Longting sigh in his heart.

When he walked to the Chen family archway, he raised his head to look at the huge archway, perhaps because he was too small, the archway was like the South Heavenly Gate in his eyes, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and Baidu a little.

The memorial arch, one of the characteristic architectural culture of the Han nationality, is the building erected by the feudal society in recognition of the meritorious Kedi virtue and the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety, and there are also some palaces and temples that take the memorial arch as the mountain gate, and some are used to indicate the place name. Also known as the archway, it is a door-hole type memorial building, preaching feudal etiquette and flaunting merit.

The memorial arch is also an annex building of the ancestral hall, showing the noble virtues and great achievements of the ancestors of the family, and has the function of worshipping ancestors.

Uncle Tiger on the side spoke at this time.

"Little guy, this Chen family archway is the Qing Dynasty Daoguang period to build, Chen old lady high school after the person, at that time is the town in the past hundred years of the first Wenju people, the town people in the list, after learning that the old lady high school, that night have been beating gongs and drums, lighting firecrackers, as if the New Year. ”

"Then each family raised money and hired people to make this archway, on the 'Chen Jiachong' and the poems on the pillars on both sides are the words inscribed by the old lady, and this town was not called Chen Jiachong before, it was changed later. ”

Chen Longting looked at the three big characters of 'Chen Jiachong' on the archway, and suddenly felt that his Chen family was really a bird! The stone pillar of the archway was also engraved:

"If you come from your hometown, you should know about your hometown. In front of the window of the coming day, the cold plum blossoms are not (Wang Wei)"

Thick ideological plot, looking at the people who walk under the archway from time to time, their faces are generally good, but they can't see anything wrong with their complexions, and their expressions don't seem to be in a hurry, unlike the Republic of China imagined by Chen Longting, in his mind, he thought that the faces of the people in the Republic of China should be vegetables, and in this day when there is often not enough to eat, it is already good to be alive.

These people passing under the archway, there are middle-aged men wearing robes, there are men wearing sweatshirts pushing wheelbarrows to the market, carrying flat burdens, selling sugar gourds, three or five women with clothes, carrying buckets to the river, and even some half-sized young people, kicking the ball under the archway, playing very happily.

It seems that this Republic of China is not as bad as I imagined, in front of the archway is the store, a street that is not short, on both sides are some green brick and wood mixed buildings, there are restaurants, teahouses, inns, merchants, rice grain shops, bun shops, etc., there are many stalls on both sides of the road, and the sound of all kinds of selling is endless.

"Fresh cookcakes!"

"Lemonade, lemonade!

"Steamed buns! It's Sun Ji's steamed buns! Freshly baked, buy them from me, don't have to queue up!"

I rub it! This is simply a city! I don't know if I don't come out, and I'm shocked when I come out! I can't imagine that this town of Chenjiachong is so lively!

Lemonade? There were drinks in the Republic of China? The one who sells cooking cakes, how is this way of selling so cooked? It seems that I have seen it somewhere, and there is also that selling steamed buns, and you have fallen to the ground! There are actually two sellers selling steamed buns, which is really convincing!

Chen Longting, standing under the archway, smelling the fragrance coming from the alley, suddenly drooled, Wow, I want to eat from beginning to end! Chen Longting immediately rushed to the stall that sold cooking cakes, and shouted:

"Boss, bring me a fresh cookcake!

The short boss was startled, where did this Nima come from, don't give money? Don't give money, Lao Tzu will beat your out!

"Make sure all the cookcakes are the freshest, one yes, I'll wrap it for you, three coppers!"

In the year of the Republic of China, the currency of this period was relatively chaotic, mostly calculated by weight, as early as 1882 in the eighth year of Guangxu, silver coins began to appear slowly, at that time because the number of minting was very small, and it was rare in later generations. The main circulation on the market is foreign money, and in the subsequent time, the copper money was slowly canceled on the copper coin, and the currency grade was gradually divided into: ten copper for a dime, ten jiao for one yuan, ten yuan for a silver yuan (yuan), that is, one or two coins, this silver dollar is also called foreign money, in September 1910, the Qing government branch of the government decided, issued the 'currency system regulations', stipulating that the silver dollar (including seven coins and two cents) as the national currency.

took the cooking cake, turned his head to look at Uncle Tiger, and said very cutely:

"Uncle Tiger, help me cushion first, and I'll let the ancestor reimburse you when I go back!"

Jiang Donghu nodded with a smile, took out the money bag, and poured the coins into his hands, which contained Guangxu ingots (silver dollars), Xuantong ingots (silver dollars), and some bits and pieces of copper.

Among them, the weight of Guangxu ingots is: the library is divided into seven coins and two cents, one penny, four cents, seven cents and two cents, and other currency values, and is circulated as one yuan, two corners and one dimes according to the weight. The total amount of Xuantong ingots has not changed, only the year name has been changed, and some auxiliary currency denominations have been added.

Chen Longting looked at a large number of coins, Uncle Tiger lowered his head and looked for the corresponding coins in his hand, and felt that the head was big, the Qing Dynasty deserved to be overthrown, every emperor issued a currency, aren't you embarrassed for the people?

Chen Longting asked Uncle Hu to give him a piece of silver dollar to see, one word on the left and right, four characters to form 'Xuantong Yuanbao', the upper book is provincial, and the lower library is flat seven coins and two cents (weight) to weigh and weigh, and it is quite heavy, much heavier than a dollar coin in later generations.

According to the calculation weight standard of the Republic of China, one catty is sixteen taels, and one tael is ten yuan, and the more than 20 silver dollars weigh one catty? Moreover, at this time, one catty weighed 668.19 grams, which was 500 grams per catty in later generations, but it was much heavier!

As for the famous Yuan Datou in later generations, it has not yet begun to be issued, and two years later, in order to strengthen his rule, Yuan Shikai will change the style of the silver dollar, and Yuan Datou will be widely circulated in a few years.

When Jiang Hudong was looking for the corresponding currency, the owner of the cooking cake was surprised:

"Yo, isn't this the tiger master? don't pay, this cookcake is not worth anything, I will give it to you." ”

Chen Longting bit the crispy cooking cake on the side, and when he heard the boss say this, he said:

"Boss, do you know my Uncle Tiger?"

The boss saw that the little kid said this, and immediately continued:

"In the small town of Chenjiachong, there may not be many people who know the tiger master, but when it comes to the five tigers of Qingyang, dare to ask about this hundred and ten miles of land, who doesn't know? I used to sell cooking cakes in Qingyang County, and I was fortunate to see the tiger master dart at that time. ”

It turns out that most people only hear their names about the Qingyang Five Tigers, but they don't see them, but this cookcake boss has occasionally seen Jiangdong Tiger, so he has an impression.

"One yard is one yard, what kind of reason do you don't collect money? I buy something, if I don't give money, won't the Taoist people listen to it, won't it cause people to laugh at it? Oh, this is a corner, there are two cooking cakes, and there is no need to look for the rest!" Jiang Hudong said at this time.

Haha, this is the big husband, no merit, Uncle Tiger is doing a good job, hehe, seeing that I don't have enough to eat, help me buy two cooking cakes, it's really good!

When Chen Longting was about to take over the other two cooking cakes, he saw Jiang Donghu quickly take them, and handed a cooking cake to Lei Guangyao, who had been standing behind him just now, and the two of them had a cooking cake each, and then ate it in a big gulp, and the two palm-sized cooking cakes disappeared in an instant.

Chen Longting suddenly felt a crow flying over his head

Don't be so willful!

Don't you see that I'm a child? Speechless, but this cookcake is really delicious, crisp and refreshing, and most importantly, natural and pollution-free!

"Master Hu, you go slowly, if you want to buy cooking cakes in the future, just come to me, my surname is Wu, and everyone who does business here knows me." The owner of the cookcake said with a smile, and then watched the three of them leave.

"Poof!"

I said, how can I be so familiar, in the Water Margin in later generations, isn't that the way Wu Dalang sells cooking cakes? This boss is actually surnamed Wu, and he is also a cooking cake seller, which is really unique!

Chen Longting then looked at the various stalls on the small street, sugar gourd, glutinous lemonade, strange flavored beans, stinky tofu, hahaha! Well, then start conquering with sugar gourd! I want to eat the whole street!

Chen Longting took a bag of strange beans, snorted a pea into his mouth from time to time, held a round little belly, and walked towards the east of the archway with the two big King Kongs behind.

I remember some women, carrying clothes and buckets, as if they were going to the river, hehe, although my body is small, I can't do anything, but that doesn't mean I can't look at it, right?

The archway to the east, walked about three minutes away, then saw a bend of the big river, look up, the river flows endlessly, clear to the bottom, the sediment below is also slowly pushed by the current, the afternoon sun shines on the river surface, sparkling, the whole river seems to be dreamy.

Hearing Uncle Hu say that this river is still a tributary of the Yangtze River, Chen Longting saw that the narrowest part on both sides of the river is almost more than 500 meters wide, which is considered a big river.

While snorting strange beans, Chen Longting found that there seemed to be a sister paper singing in the distance, and he couldn't hear it clearly for the time being, but what was certain was that the sound was very sweet, like a lark, haha, looking at the golden river reflected by the sun, hearing such a beautiful singing made him feel unrestrained.

This crooked river, the lark-like singing, reminds me of a song from later generations, how do you sing the lyrics? I rub it! I can't remember it, what should I do? Yes!

After closing his eyes and finding the lyrics, he let go of his little voice and sang loudly:

"A crooked river in front of my brother, my sister is singing a sweet song opposite me, my brother's heart is rippling with layers of waves, when is my sister"

When he saw a figure with two small whips and a small red cotton jacket, Chen Longting was stunned.

No way!!

The little red figure turned around, stopped singing like a lark, looked at Chen Longting and said angrily:

"Little Tiger, you big liar!!!"
