Zhao Ji's courtyard is located near the Cai River in the south of the city, looking south is a series of Taoist temples, and the main street to the east leads directly to Taixue and Guozijian. At this moment, it has passed the unitary hour, and the lights on the street are beginning to be lit, and there are many Guozi prisoners who have finished their day's schoolwork coming and going.

Today's Great Song Dynasty Wendao Dachang, but all scholars can always find a good future, as long as there is perseverance and perseverance to persevere, even if it is repeatedly unsuccessful, the imperial court will also approve and hire as appropriate. And these children of the country, or the children of the eunuchs, or the wealthy families, or the brilliant literature, are all handsome among the scholars, and they have a more ambitious future than ordinary scholars, so they are all complacent. Wandering on the street in groups, or acupuncture and disadvantages, or poetry should be harmonious, when talking highly, it is very bookish.

Qiao Feng and Zhao Ji walked side by side, occasionally listening to what these scholars were talking about, but it was estimated that most of them didn't understand, so they just smiled and said: "Our Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, and Bianliang City is a place where scholars from all over the world gather, and the conversations of any young people on the street are unfathomable, which is really admirable." ”

Zhao Ji smiled and did not answer. As a person of the later generations who have crossed over, Zhao Ji does not have much admiration for these scholars, and even has some faint bad feelings. Relatively speaking, he was more willing to see the shrewd life of the peddlers and pawns than to listen to the young scholars in the streets.

The courtyard went north to cross the Huimin Bridge is a tile, that is, a commercial street, there are restaurants, **, and all kinds of grocery stores, there are some mobile vendors on the street, selling some fresh fruits, all kinds of fried food, all kinds of accessories and accessories, very lively. Here is also the most prosperous place in Fengyue Goolan, there are storytellers in the teahouse who tell storytelling, there are women who hold their sleeves to sell wine on the street, and the ** people who are dressed up in fancy clothes wave handkerchiefs under the door to attract guests. All kinds of lively scenes are very similar to the pictures in the costume TV series that Zhao Ji saw in later generations, and even surpassed.

At this time, science had not yet flourished, and the defense of men and women had not reached the cannibalistic situation of later generations. A personable noble son like Zhao Ji, and a good man with an extraordinary bearing like Qiao Feng, are the most favorite benefactors of the kiln sisters. Walking through this downtown is very eye-catching, and at that moment there are some heroic half-hidden doors rushing up to solicit customers with small steps, Liang Shicheng is so anxious that he runs back and forth with red ears and red ears, but he can't stand the women too enthusiastic. By the time they walked out of this street, Zhao Ji's white brocade robe had already been printed with many rouge lip prints, and Qiao Feng, who was embarrassed, also had several brocade handkerchiefs embroidered with the girl's name in his arms.

Although Zhao Ji didn't have the experience to parry these enthusiasms, but seeing that Qiao Feng was also red-faced and helpless, and he had lost the bearing of a martial arts master, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed, and said to Qiao Feng with a smile: "Life in the world, how much is it for joy? Brother Qiao, you live too restrainedly, in this flashy and noisy city, let go of your guard for the time being, even if the spring breeze is once and you form a dewy marriage, it is only elegant, and it may not hurt the root of chivalry." ”

Qiao Fengyi was embarrassed, but waved his hand and said: "These women, if they are not from poor families, who is willing to laugh and entertain people." Although I can't help so many of them, I must keep my creed and not indulge in pleasure and abuse others. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji sighed in his heart. In the later life in which he lived, in a materialistic world, there were very few remaining bottom lines in people's hearts, and there was no trust in each other, let alone mutual respect. A person like Qiao Feng who insists on himself is really not an exaggeration to call him a saint. Although such a person is precious, it is also sad, and it is difficult to live a long life without suffering. It's as if Zhao Ji remembers a joke that when a child wants to do bad things, there will be a good person and a bad person fighting in his mind, and he won't fight when he grows up, because the good person is killed.

Although this is a joke, it is not a kind of helplessness. There are too few people who can consistently adhere to their own hearts, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

In addition to the slight trouble caused by soliciting customers**, Qiao Feng's impression of the bustling night market in Bianliang is really good. Only by truly strolling through it can you feel the hope and yearning brought by this prosperity, and feel the sense of pride and identity from the bottom of your heart.

Turn north from the royal street and cross the state bridge to the west, which is Kaifeng Mansion, but at this time there is no Bao Heizi sitting there. Further west is Baocisi Street, from here along the Bianhe River are the Hu merchants gathered in the warehouse, the street is full of exotic people, there are Persians, Uighurs, Tibetans, Tanguts, and many Liao. These people are either wearing their own national costumes, or they have directly changed into the clothes of the Song people, and speak fluent Song official dialect, if you don't look at their images but just listen to the voices, you can't even tell whether they are Song people or aliens.

Walking around here, Zhao Ji suddenly became interested, and when he saw that Qiao Feng's face also showed a strong look of surprise, he asked Liang Shicheng to lead the way around here. Listening to these Fanbang people talking in the tone of the Han people, it is very interesting. Although Zhao Ji inherited the memories of his predecessor, most of them were poetry and paintings, or wind and snow, but he knew very little about these Hu people in Bianliang City, so he asked Liang Shicheng: "How many Hu people are there in Tokyo?

Liang Shicheng replied: "There are indeed quite a lot of Hu people, there must be tens of thousands of people." Many of them are businessmen, but there are also many Hu people who admire our prosperity in the Great Song Dynasty, so their ancestors have stayed here for generations and taken root and multiplied. Just like the Hu merchant Adaha who supplied spices to the palace, it is said that the ancestors came to Bianliang City from the time of Taizu, and it has been three or four generations now, and the descendants have already become natives of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After walking for too long and getting tired, everyone found a restaurant opened by the Hu people and sat down, and without turning their heels, a light and tall orchid held the best wine, and chilled it with ice, which was cool and refreshing. Zhao Ji invited Qiao Feng to drink wine, and while listening to Liang Shicheng talk about these Hu people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. Compared with many people crying for a green card in later generations, Hermes-Epitek now naturally has something to be proud of, they have created the world's leading civilization and prosperous society, attracting countless people from other countries. Comparing the two, it is really ashamed of the ancestors.

Liang Shicheng told another interesting story: "When the Liao delegation came to Bianliang a few years ago, many subordinates were lost, and the matter was reported to Kaifeng Prefecture for investigation, and in the end it was understood that those who were lost wanted to stay in Bianliang City and not go back. This kind of thing happens every year, our Great Song Dynasty is rich and healthy, these Fanbang people who have lived in the bitter cold land for a long time have seen the prosperity of the Huahua world, and their hearts are yearning for it, and they refuse to leave like this. ”

"A few years ago, there was another incident, Dali Kingdom paid tribute to the imperial court a few elephants, accompanied by the members of the family who maintained these elephants. Originally, there had been nothing to do, but who knew that one year the Dali delegation would come again, but now one of the elephant guards was actually impersonated by a general at their border. It is said that this general is also a member of the Sanpin in Dali Kingdom, but he would rather stay in Bianliang City to raise elephants, but he does not want to return south to be an official. ”

Hearing these anecdotes, everyone laughed. Zhao Ji said with a smile: "If you want to live well, this is the instinct of life. In the past dynasties, in the prosperous era, our Central Plains is the bearing of a great country, and the Quartet is welcome to come to the court. The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. As long as they can keep to themselves in the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter if they stay. ”

As he said this, most of his eyes fell on Qiao Feng, wanting to see Qiao Feng's feelings and thoughts clearly.

Qiao Feng noticed Zhao Ji's gaze, so he spoke: "They are willing to live and work in peace and contentment in the Great Song Dynasty, that is the best." But if it's not my race, its heart will be different, so you still need to be careful. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but wonder what kind of strict education did this Qiao Feng receive when he was a child?

He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "In this world, good people and bad people are not simply divided into races. There are many traitors and criminals among our Han people, but those Fanbang people also have good people who are benevolent and righteous. All bad people, regardless of Han people, should beware of punishment. But if he is a good person, no matter what ethnic origin he is, he is also worthy of being treated kindly, and there will always be a reward. ”

"Jin Riyan in the Han Dynasty, that was the prince of the Huns, but he was loyal to the Han Dynasty and became a lonely minister in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there are countless examples of this, a generation of virtuous ministers and grandsons Wuji, that is the Xianbei people, the general Gao Xianzhi who guarded the frontier, that is the Korean, the general Ge Shuhan, that is the Turks, and the famous general Li Guangbi who quelled the Anshi Rebellion is a Khitan. ”

After enumerating this one, Zhao Ji has exhausted his little historical knowledge, and at the end he said: "We Han people were born to thrive in the richest land in the world, which is a gift from God." Therefore, it is constantly attacking with the surrounding alien races, tired of feuds, not to fight for a right and wrong, but to protect the most rare prosperity in this world. Take our Great Song Dynasty as an example, after a hundred years, all people of insight have taken the recovery of Yanyun and the whole self as their lifelong wish, this is because it is not easy to prosper in this world, and foreign races must not be allowed to trample on it. But then again, if there is a Khitan hero who cares about the people of the world, he is not here to destroy, but to build. Then even if I have a role to do with the sky, I am willing to use my life to protect him!"

After Qiao Feng heard this, he was silent for a moment before he said: "Zhao Gongzi, you are kind-hearted, but unfortunately this kind of heroic hero is really rare in the world, but it makes your ambition empty." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ji was in a very strange mood, and took a sip of the bottle of wine before suppressing the smile that came to his lips, and sighed along with Qiao Feng's words: "Yes, it's a pity." ”
