Chapter 1: Under the Same Sky
In the second year of Jin Tianxing, Kaifeng City is full of joy, the streets are full of pedestrians, students who go out, rich businessmen who play with their children, maids who buy rouge gouache, and travelers who come and go from the north to the south, decorate the whole city very lively.
This is the glamorous side of Kaifeng City, but there is another Kaifeng City here.
In the southern part of the city, there is a gathering place for the poor, or slums, where there is no glamorous sè color, and there is only a poor life of the poor.
One city, two worlds.
As soon as the day dawned, when a girl named Mu Nianci got up and tidied up in front of the basin, in the palace of King Zhao, ten miles away from her, Yang Kang began to freshen up under the service of the maid, and he was going to ask Bao Xiweak and Wanyan Honglie to say goodbye.
It has been more than a month since Yang Kang returned to Kaifeng City, and on the way back, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong suppressed the true qi in his body for him, allowing him to return to a normal state of life.
Huang Yaoshi was inwardly disgusted by the agreement reached between Hong Qigong and the Quanzhen Sect, and he had a natural aversion to this kind of political thing, which was probably common to all hermits.
But in dealing with Ouyang Feng, he has concerns, and needs Hong Qigong's help, Dongxie is very arrogant and conceited, but he has a concern at this time, that is Xiao Huang Rong, as long as he has concern, he can't be at ease, and he needs to constantly compromise with life.
Huang Yaoshi carefully asked Yang Kang about Qu Lingfeng, and at this point, Yang Kang insisted that he did it, and it had nothing to do with Mei Chaofeng, which was the strategy that Yang Kang determined against Huang Yaofeng.
Before this, Qiu Chuji had already put the responsibility on Mei Chaofeng, so now he took the responsibility on himself, this is the expression of righteousness, if Yang Kang blindly pushes the responsibility to Mei Chaofeng, it will arouse Huang Yaoshi's disgust.
Yang Kang knew that Huang Yaoshi was the most protective of his shortcomings, and his disciples could beat and scold him at will, but he couldn't allow others to practice it, this was a weird East Evil.
Huang Yaoshi did not delve into the matter of Qu Lingfeng, no matter how to say that the person was dead, but paid attention to Qu Lingfeng's daughter, for which Yang Kang expressed deep remorse and told the accident on the river, which Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian can testify.
After listening to everyone's explanations, Huang Yaoshi pondered, and compared with what Qiu Chuji had said earlier in Niujia Village, he couldn't help but start to wonder, was what happened in Niujia Village nine years ago just accidental? How did Wanyan Honglie save Bao Xiqiao at that time? The accident on the river was obviously aimed at Yang Kang, and who was behind the scenes?
Dong Xie glanced at Yang Kang deeply, buried this qiē guess in his heart, and just asked Yang Kang to tell Mei Chaofeng and let that criminal return to Peach Blossom Island to be punished, Huang Yaoshi didn't have time to pay attention to Mei Chaofeng at the moment, he had to spend a year thinking of a way to deal with Ouyang Feng.
There are no more than two ways, one is to cure Ouyang Ke's illness, and the other is to completely get rid of Ouyang Feng to prevent future troubles, neither of these two methods is easy, compared to this matter, Mei Chaofeng's matter is irrelevant.
Yang Kang and Xiao Huang Rong said goodbye, Xiao Huang Rong looked back at Yang Kang with some reluctance, but Yang Kang was glad as soon as he turned around, thank God, he finally got rid of this little girl.
He returned to Kaifeng Mansion and started the happy life of the little prince of Jin Guo again, when he went to ask Bao Xi for peace, he didn't know that in the small courtyard ten miles away from him, a girl was cooking on a fire.
This is how the life of Kaifeng City began in this way.
When Mu Nianci was cooking, Yang Tiexin practiced a set of boxing in the yard, and then the father and daughter had breakfast in a hurry, and Yang Tiexin went out, he wanted to go to the nearby market to find some casual workers to do.
The people in the south of Kaifeng City is a large market area, here is a poor people's market, a qiē looks messy, Yang Tiexin stands in a group of idlers, waiting for the employer to come over, this is a casual worker, or called a temporary worker.
If you want to do long-term work, you need to have a certificate from the local yamen, and with the certificate, you can go to the market zhongyāng and wait, where you can receive some major projects, such as repairing facilities for the government or temples, etc., such work is not only stable, but also expensive, and the price of casual workers is relatively cheap, and they are generally hired by private individuals to help carry goods or repair houses, etc.
Yang Tiexin just came to Kaifeng City, and he didn't meet the application conditions for long-term workers, so he had to wait with those idlers outside the human market, but fortunately, he was serious and diligent, and the merchants in the market liked to find him to do things.
He came to Kaifeng City to look for people, and he came to do casual labor just to make a living, this is Yang Tiexin's life in the rivers and lakes.
Yang Kang had breakfast and was going to study, Wanyan Honglie invited him a famous Confucian in Kaifeng City, this old man's knowledge was impeccable, but Yang Kang always felt that there was no Yelu Chucai who said it clearly, and he couldn't help but miss the teacher.
After the morning class, Yang Kang began to practice, and at this time Mei Chaofeng was not there, and the hole became his best place to practice.
After Yang Kang came back, he told Mei Chaofeng everything as it was, Mei Chaofeng listened quietly, she didn't have any reaction to Qu Lingfeng's death, but asked very carefully about the entanglement between Ouyang Feng and Peach Blossom Island.
"If the teacher is in trouble, I should go back. Mei Chaofeng said calmly, "You have to be careful in the future, don't make trouble everywhere." ”
The day after he finished speaking, Mei Chaofeng was gone, Yang Kang stroked the walls in this cave, thinking that maybe no one would listen to him in the future, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely, hoping that Aunt Mei would be okay.
When Yang Kang began to practice, Mu Nianci went out of the yard with a wooden basin and came to the small pond not far away to start washing clothes.
Two people, two worlds.
The little prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yankang, will not go to the slums to play, and Mu Nianci will not go to the Zhao Wangfu to be a guest, two people who are ten miles apart live under the same sky, in the same city, looking at each other from afar but not seeing each other.
"Hey, girl, you're so noisy that you keep calling Hanako. A voice disrupted the rhythm of the girl's laundry.
Mu Nianci put down the gavel, turned around and looked, and saw an old beggar sleeping on the branch of the ancient tree by the pond, and the girl couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I'm sorry, old man, you fall asleep first, I'll come back to wash it later. The girl packed her clothes and prepared to leave, not wanting to disturb the old beggar's sleep.
"That's the way you washed it, it's not right. The old beggar flew down the tree, came to the pond, took up the mallet, and began to thrash.
Mu Nianci watched the old beggar pounding his clothes lightly, and the mallet hit the clothes but did not make a sound, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
