Chapter 209: Xingyuan Mansion

Xingyuan Mansion.

Named after the name of Dezong in the Tang Dynasty, it is located in the upper reaches of the Han River, with Daba Mountain and Qinling Mountains in the north and south, surrounding Xingyuan Mansion in the middle, forming the topography of the basin. Due to the abundant and distinctive products of Hanzhong, it has gone through many dynasties, and its status soared after Tang Dezong, and it is an important town in terms of cultural heritage and economy, and it is also known as a cornucopia here.

Xingyuan Mansion in March, the climate is refreshing and pleasant, just take off the winter clothes, the golden rape flowers have been in full bloom, the large rape flowers on both sides of the pipeline are like golden fruits, the breeze blows through the golden waves, revealing a mesmerizing heart.

At that time, although there were frequent wars in the world, and Xingyuan Mansion was located at the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and Tubo, but such an important economic place, even the invaders would not exert excessive swords, otherwise it was easy to destroy, but it was even more difficult to rebuild, so even in an extraordinary period, Xingyuan Mansion was like a paradise. Xingyuan Mansion is rich, there are naturally many merchants who come and go, almost all of them come to sell the specialties of Xingyuan Mansion to the outside, buy low and sell high to make some difference, although the merchants who come and go here all the year round are not as good as the real border merchants can get huge profits, but this route is safe and stable is incomparable to other places, so the people who walk here are either cautious, or they are not worried about their livelihood.

However, no matter what kind of businessman, almost all of them are in a hurry, since they have seen the golden rape flowers, it means that Xingyuan Mansion is not far away, and when you enter Xingyuan Mansion, you can live in an inn and enjoy food and hot water, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for people who travel long distances. What's more, although most of these merchants will find some Jianghu people to accompany them to protect, but at the time of war, people are panicked, and no one can guarantee their safety, even if it is a seemingly safe place like Xingyuan Mansion, none of these merchants will risk their lives, so entering the city as soon as possible is the top priority, as for the beautiful rape flowers that bloom next to them, they are too lazy to appreciate. Even if these beautiful flowers look like gold, they are not as attractive as real gold.

The merchants who walk here are divided into two kinds, one is a big family, this kind of people have accompanying convoys, the owners are almost all fine clothes and fine food, not like merchants, but like traveling, they can basically earn a few months or even a year's expenses at a time, and they are also considered to be the leaders in the industry, this kind of people will almost hire a dart board to escort. The second type is the solo type, generally the pursuit of stability, and the economic strength is not so prominent, this kind of people will be three or five colleagues together, not only to take care of each other, but also to be regarded as travel companions, compared to the first type, they are more like walkers and migrants, ordinary can no longer be ordinary, this kind of people are running around almost all year round, they have a common characteristic, capable, and unnoticed. This kind of person can see dozens of batches every day in Xingyuan Mansion.

At this time, it was just after noon, and it was also the peak of entering the city, and the merchants who had traveled in a hurry all morning tried to enter Xingyuan Mansion before the evening, so as not to sleep on the streets at night.

Mixed in these people, there is a group of six people who are particularly different, led by a white-clothed noble son with a crown like jade, standing tall, tall and heroic, although the face is delicate, but the contours are clear, the nose bridge and jaw are like a knife and an axe chisel, and the beauty does not lose the heroism of a man, two sword eyebrows go straight into the sideburns, and the eyes are smiling with spring, this pair of eyes does not know how many girls with spring to die.

He held a white paper fan in his hand, and painted landscapes and seven beautiful pictures with Danqing pen and ink on both sides. Generally speaking, the two sides of the folding fan are both ends of the calligraphy and painting, both sides are painted, not only the artistic conception is a little worse, even the taste will be a grade lower, but this folding fan is unusual, the two paintings on the fan surface are amazing, the artistic conception in the landscape is almost through the paper, the shaking is actually contrasted with the surrounding rape flowers, very fit, if it is not for the ink on it to dry early, I am afraid that people will think that this painting is to match the rape flowers in the wild improvised made.

On the other side, the eight beautiful pictures are a must, eight stunning colors have their own postures, or anger or laughter, or cold or delicate, or soft or simple, or delicate or pretty, and so on, looking at it as if seeing a real person, with the figure and appearance of the noble son, it can be called a must, such a match does not look tacky at all, but has a strange sense of harmony. Such a person can only be described by the word perfect.

Accompanied by this noble son, there are two stunning women, one of these two women is cute and cute, the other is pretty and square, the body is light, and when she walks, she seems to be on the ground, floating like a fairy, and there is really a smell of Ling Bo micro-step, Luo socks and dust. These three people walked side by side, really like the golden boy and girl in the sky, and I don't know which family the young lady traveled together, and the three of them all had a smell of dust, which seemed incompatible with the hurried businessmen around. Such a combination can't help but attract a lot of attention from others, but looking at the appearance of the three people, it is obviously not something that these lone businessmen can climb.

The three of them talked and talked, and suddenly laughed together, obviously talking about something interesting, and couldn't help but attract a lot of attention, and followed by the three of them, there were two people in parallel, one of these two people was dressed in a robe, like an old pedant, and the other was dressed in a black robe, and the whole person was wrapped in it, although it was early spring and March, and it was a little cool, but this person's dress was still somewhat exaggerated. And after the two of them, there was a porter, he was just an ordinary person, not burly, his beard showed a bit rough, the flat shoulder on his shoulders was two ordinary widths, and the two ends of the flat shoulder were two huge packages, each of which was half the size of a person, and the flat shoulder with two palms wide was bent down.

This porter followed the front few people step by step, although the things picked were heavy, but they did not leave a few people too far, obviously this porter also has the strength of the arms, such a combination of six people, very uncoordinated, mainly the back three people and the front three people are not like a group, but it seems that they are clearly all the way.

The six of them didn't go fast, if it weren't for the last porter carrying a lot of things, they would be the children of the nobility who went out. The group was full of weirdness, especially the last porter, who followed the people in front of him with gritted teeth, not looking like he was struggling, but more angry.

"I can't walk anymore. The porter's repression finally broke out, and he threw the list on his shoulder to the ground.

After the two large packages landed, there was a banging sound, and even the earth shook slightly, stirring up a lot of dust, and others dodged one after another, lest they be contaminated with a little bit of it, not to mention that this porter was angry, and no one wanted to provoke bad luck, but seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but slow down.

At that time, the hierarchy was still quite strict, and it was easy for the master to kill a subordinate, and the so-called human life lawsuit was a fart in front of money, not to mention that it was a time of continuous war, and the life and death of the working people at the bottom were not in the eyes of the powerful at all. Therefore, the living environment of the subordinates is still very bad, not to mention those who dare to pick pickers like the porters, and some subordinates don't even dare to speak loudly. Seeing the actions of this porter, although everyone avoided it, their curiosity rose, except for some timid and afraid people who accelerated their pace, others were still ready to see what would happen to this porter.

Either dead or disabled. This is the mark that the bystanders have already put on the porter, even if the result is different from what they thought, this porter will not have a better ending, this is everyone's idea, because this is a world of the jungle. Although everyone is struggling for a living, many people are still willing to see others inferior to themselves, and many people have a smile on the corner of their mouths.

With a "snap", the man in white folded his fan, looked back at the porter who was sitting on the ground, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a smile that made the girl intoxicated flashed, and he said playfully: "How are you going?" The voice of the man in white is very magnetic, the voice is like his person, and it is also full of a transcendent temperament.

"Rest and rest, I'm tired. The porter said loudly.

Listening to the porter's unkind words, many people around frowned, not only worried about the porter, but also a little unhappy with the porter's unkindness.

The man in white smiled faintly and said, "We set off at the right time, and now it's just past noon, and you're tired, aren't you too lazy?"

The boy in white seems to be very approachable, and he actually reasoned with a porter in the name of his demeanor and demeanor. Such a comparison made it even more obvious that the porter was unreasonable and vulgar, and the onlookers couldn't help but be more inclined to the boy in white.

"Let go of the ......" After hearing the words of the man in white, the porter suddenly stood up, pointed at the boy in white and jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, but he seemed to have scruples, and he didn't scold after all, and instead said, "We set off yesterday, and it's past noon today, and we haven't stopped for a moment." ”

As soon as the porter's words came out, many people took a breath. If what the porter said is true, then these people have walked for a day and a night in a row, for people who are traveling long distances, such a way of walking is not only undesirable, but also almost impossible to complete, because the human body is endless after all, not to mention that the consumption of body and mental strength is very huge in the dark day, even if it is a perennial businessman, he does not dare to do so, not to mention this noble son with a detached temperament, but also to add the two delicate women next to him.

While others were surprised, they didn't notice that these people except for the porter didn't have the color of wind and dust, and the day and night rush obviously didn't make them have any consumption, which is by no means something ordinary people can do.

"Not far ahead is Xingyuan Mansion, if we hurry up, we can still have a place to live before dark. The man in white was still smiling, as if he didn't care about the porter's unreasonableness.

"That's what you said this time yesterday. The porter said with a look of distrust.

The man in white suddenly laughed a few times, and said loudly: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, there are so many friends here, all of whom have been walking in Xingyuan Mansion all year round, you can ask them." Brothers, I don't know how far ahead I can get to Xingyuan Mansion, don't hesitate to point, little brother thank you here. The man in white said with a fist and agreed to the people around him.

Although the people around him are all passers-by, they are all perennial businessmen, and they are all very shrewd, seeing that the boy in white has a detached temperament but is so bold, and his heart is also quite comfortable, he suddenly has the intention of making friends, and they all responded: "There are about seven or eight miles ahead to see the gate of Xingyuan Mansion." ”

The man in white smiled at the speakers, nodded, and then walked to the porter and whispered a few words in his ear. I don't know if I was encouraged by the proximity of Xingyuan Mansion, or if the words of the boy in white played a role, the porter jumped up, picked up the flat shoulder and left, and said in his mouth: "Go quickly, go quickly." Before the words fell, they were gone, leaving a group of people stunned.
