(There was a power outage today, so I almost couldn’t update. I was sweating like a waterfall.)
Traveling again and again, the large group of people accelerated their advance. After leaving Niutouyi, they walked for two days to Taikang County, then turned north through Qixian County and turned northwest towards Bianliang.
In total, the journey has lasted seven days. These seven days have made Su Jin very tired. Sitting on the horse, his buttocks are almost covered with a thick layer of calluses. Moreover, there are many people and they can't sneak into Yan Biyun's vagina.
The car was comfortable for a while, and the team did not let Su Jin's car rest at all. Yan Shu never asked Su Jin to talk in his spacious luxury car. Su Jin was miserable.
Su Jin could only sleep on his stomach every night. Fortunately, he could talk to Yan Biyun and the others at night. Xiao Sui'er and Huan Niang felt sorry for Su Jin, but they often loosened his muscles and massaged him.
However, by the time they arrived at the outskirts of Bianliang, Su Jin's riding skills had been well trained. In the past, whenever the horse trotted, Su Jin would grab the saddle and turn pale with fright. Now, Su Jin can ride like flying.
After her butt got used to the grinding of the saddle, and she learned how to move up and down along with the horse's body, Su Jin's hard days were over, and she would gallop for a while from time to time.
In the autumn wilderness, Su Jin's figure walking back and forth made several women in the car smile. This guy is still a child, and he is so excited to ride a horse.
The closer we get to Bianliang, the more prosperous the scenery becomes. There are more small market towns and more people. People's clothes are becoming more and more luxurious, their expressions are becoming more and more arrogant, and the houses in the villages are becoming more and more beautiful.
Dayue is beautiful. In short, you will feel a place that is different from other places in a subtle way.
Su Jin understood that this was a unique psychological advantage developed by the people at the emperor's feet, and it was a temperament that could not be imitated.
On October 18th, the convoy arrived outside Bianliang City and stopped to take a closer look. A large city stretching for dozens of miles lay in front of everyone, with tall buildings, green trees, red tiles, yellow walls, and the faint sound of noisy people.
It shows the prosperity of the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Su Jin knew that Bianliang City was the largest capital city in the world in this era. The city had a radius of 30 miles, a population of nearly 1.3 million, and nearly 10,000 shops. There were as many as 15 imperial guardsmen guarding the capital.
Wan, there is no doubt that it can be called the largest city in the world.
Su Jin was very excited to finally have a glimpse of this prosperous and dreamlike capital of Song Dynasty. At the same time, he also knew that the turning point in his life might begin today.
Outside the pavilion ten miles away from the city, the brigade stopped. Fu Bi rode his horse to Yan Shu's sedan and asked, "Excuse me, sir, should we go directly to the inner city or go back to Tianshuijing Hutong first?"
Yan Shu raised the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go back to Tianshuijing Hutong and settle Su Jin and others. In the afternoon, you and I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor and let Su Jin and others rest first."
Fu Bi agreed, ordered the troops to get ready, put up a guard of honor, and headed back to Lijing Gate. At noon, they entered Bianliang City and walked along the wide street on the east bank of Bianshui River to Yan Shu's residence in Tianshuijing Hutong.
Su Jin was riding on the horse, his eyes were already a little tired. From the moment he entered the city gate, Su Jin's mouth had not been closed. People were flowing on both sides of the Bianhe River. The level of prosperity exceeded his imagination. There were rows of shops along the river.
There are hundreds of large and small boats on the Bianshui River. There is a stone arch bridge just a few miles across the river, making travel on both sides smooth.
Boaters, horseback riders, cart drivers, strollers on foot, people carrying burdens, bag carriers, people carrying heavy loads, people buying and selling things, officials with splayed arms, beggars shrinking under the wall, soldiers riding horses and scolding all the way,
The hawkers shouting and hawking, the entertainers playing monkey tricks, the tea drinkers foaming at the mouth in the teahouse...the whole picture of a market.
Su Jin had seen "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", but he always thought that it was artistically processed and not realistic. Comparing the scene in front of him now with that picture, Su Jin completely believed it; today was just an ordinary day.
, neither a solar term nor a festival day. The bustling and lively atmosphere of such an ordinary day has already caught up with that painting, not to mention how noisy it would be on a festival day. It seems that the painting is not exaggerated, but
A lot reduced.
When the master arrived home, everyone from the Yan family came out to greet him. When Su Jin saw the formation, dozens of people, big and small, were dumbfounded. Yan Shuguang only had six or seven sons. The eldest was forty or fifty years old, and the youngest was still young.
Even in his infancy, he had six or seven concubines, all of them beautiful and charming. He couldn't help but secretly envy Yan Shu for knowing how to enjoy life.
Yan Shu got off the sedan with a smile and ignored everyone's salutes. He first came to the concubine who was holding his youngest son. He reached out and hugged the youngest son, who was dancing wildly with his arms and legs and laughing happily, and teased him with a smile.
Su Jin suddenly remembered something. Could this youngest child be Yan Shu's seventh son, the famous Yan Jidao in later generations? It was this young man who wrote the famous line "The falling flower man du li, the slightest swallow flies together"
, Unexpectedly, he could actually see Yan Xiaoshan, and Su Jin had a strong sense of unreality in the distortion of time and space.
The father and son over there were already having a huge quarrel. Yan Jidao grabbed Yan Shu's official hat with his chubby little hands, destroying Yan Shu's image. But Yan Shu didn't take it seriously, and the fat on his chubby body shook with laughter.
It was shaking like waves, obviously enjoying it.
When everyone entered the Yan Mansion, Yan Shu introduced everyone to Su Jin and ordered the servants to clear out a small courtyard for Su Jin to live in. Su Jin said hurriedly: "I don't want to trouble you, sir. I want to live outside by myself."
Yan Shu said in astonishment: "Then why? There are still some spare rooms at home. Besides, it is more convenient to live and talk in the house."
Su Jin looked at Yan Biyun, who was bowing his head in silence, and said firmly: "It's better not to bother me anymore. I'll rent a courtyard nearby. I'll be there if you ask me."
Yan Shu was about to say more when Yan Biyun stepped forward and said, "Since Mr. Su has this intention, why should my uncle force me? It's just that the houses in Bianliang City are not easy to rent, and I don't know if there is a shared courtyard nearby."
Su Jin turned to the four big foodies and said, "You guys go and look for it nearby this afternoon. It will be enough for the few of us to live in. As long as it's not too shabby, the price is negotiable."
Xiao Sui'er said: "Sister Huan Niang and I will go look for her this afternoon."
Yan Shu frowned. He didn't understand why Su Jin did this and seemed a little unhappy. Su Jin didn't pay attention to his quarrel. Su Jin didn't do anything about being under someone else's side. He would eat and live on your own. If you ask for anything, I can still do it.
Any objection? Besides, even though you and Yan Biyun live under the same roof in the Yan family, you actually feel even more uncomfortable. How can you sneak into Yan Biyun's boudoir without having anything to do in front of everyone? It's better to relax outside and have a tryst with Yan Biyun.
It is also more convenient; besides, having an elegant courtyard allows you to study and study without losing what you have learned.
In the afternoon, everyone in the Su family went out together. Even Yan Biyun and Xiao Xian'er took the servants and maids to look around, and finally found a courtyard in Yulin Lane at the north end of Tianshuijing Hutong, which was more than half the size of Yingtian Mansion's house.
, but the rent is more than twice as high.
Xiao Sui'er found it too expensive and almost got into a quarrel while bargaining with the owner. Yan Biyun, who came over to see the yard, was happy and decided to pay one year's rent. This made the red-faced and thick-necked owner's mother-in-law beam with joy. After signing the lease,
, I went with a lot of thanks.
Su Jin rolled his eyes, what does this mean? How can a woman follow him and pay? If the Yan family knew about this, wouldn't his behavior of grabbing money without counting in the Yan family become a joke?
Su Jin quickly found a reason to feel at ease. Isn't her money my money? If you use hers, you'll use mine. If you save mine, you'll save it for her. It's no big deal.
According to Yan Shu's arrangement, Su Jin settled down and waited for the emperor's summons. Yan Shu and Fu Bi would return to the palace in the afternoon and tell the emperor that Su Jin had come to Beijing with him. However, the emperor had many things to do. The specific time to see Su Jin was not up to everyone.
Accurate score, just wait for the news.
Su Jin doesn't care about this. It's you who want to see me. If you're not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry? At worst, I'll go study in Tianshu Academy. This matter soon fell to the second place in Su Jin's heart. When I came to this bustling big city
If you don't go to the city to see the people, the customs, and enjoy the delicacies and snacks here, wouldn't your visit be in vain?
Although shopping was not Su Jin's favorite, under the training of his beautiful girlfriend, he was influenced subtly and did not regard it as a chore like most men in later generations. The plan soon attracted several big foodies and small businessmen.
With the unanimous support of Sui'er Huanniang and others, everyone decided to rest for half a day and go shopping in Bianliang City, Tokyo early tomorrow morning.dd
