My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

"There is no place to hide in life, and the world is always repeated." Standing at the gate of Bianliang City, Ye An couldn't help sighing. The wind blew on his stained head, bringing up waves of dust.Ye An asked softly: "Yuan Bao, you have been at my house for a year, what do you think of the young master treating you?"

"Of course it's excellent." Yuan Bao whispered guilty.

...Then why are you doing this to me! !Ye An didn't speak, his eyes were full of accusations.If there were acquaintances, they would definitely not recognize that this was Mr. Ye Xiaolang who was still in high spirits a few days ago.

I saw that the clothes of the master and the servant were shabby, covered with mud, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

Zhongmu County is not too far from Tokyo, and Ji County Magistrate kindly borrowed two of their little donkeys, and it only took about three days to ride the donkeys.As a result, on the first night, Yuanbao kept vigil and fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he found that the donkey had run away early, taking their luggage and dry food with them.

The two had no choice but to walk with their feet. When they were hungry, they picked up some wild fruits to eat. They also encountered wild dogs on the road. They didn't have much rest for five days. They finally saw the city gate, and they were already in a panic.

"Young master! I was wrong, please punish me." Yuan Bao was ashamed.

Weakly waving his hands, Ye An just wanted to find a place to have a good meal and then go to bed. He really didn't care too much about it, and the two staggered towards the city gate.

Bianliang deserves to be the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Even from a modern perspective, the whole city is quite majestic.It was a coincidence that Ye An came, just in time for the opening of Daxiangguo Temple's tile market, and these two days were rare good weather since the beginning of spring, and the gate of the city was crowded with people.In order to limit the flow, after discussion, it was decided to set up a toll point, and each person who entered the city would be charged a penny, but even this could not stop the people of Song Dynasty.

Ye An didn't know this. After all, the household registration system in the Song Dynasty was relatively casual, and it was all about freedom of movement. No one would have thought that there would be a temporary fee, so he didn't make any preparations. When it was his turn in the queue, he hurriedly let him go. Yuan Bao took out the money.

Because he was worried that there would be bad guys on the road, Yuan Bao carried all the silver and money on his body, and thanks to this, Fang did not lose it along with the dry food.But for the sake of peace of mind, Yuan Bao hid all the money in the innermost part of the bookcase, and made a sandwich with thick oil paper, so it was not easy to find it out.

The gate guard soldier had been working hard all day, and he was already impatient. Seeing this, he said angrily, "Do you have any money? Get out of the way if you don't have any money!"

Ye An also knew that he was in the way, so he had to look through things with Yuan Bao while smiling, but who knew that the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't find them, seeing the soldier's face turn dark gradually.

At this moment, a male voice came from behind: "I'll pay for them, let's go." Ye An turned around——

"Langlang is like the sun and the moon in his arms, and he is like a jade mountain about to collapse." All he could think of was this sentence in an instant.The man didn't look young, probably about 27 or [-] years old. He was riding a white horse with a silver saddle, wearing a dark green wide-sleeved straight gown with a slightly open collar, and he didn't wear a folded scarf on his hair, but partly loose.The face is extremely handsome, the phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, the expression is sleepy, listless but has an extraordinary temperament.

The soldier laughed when he saw him: "This isn't Master Pan. Seeing you look like this, you've gone off to flirt again. There are so many girls in Xiaotianshui Lane who can't keep you in our yamen, so you have to look for them." Then he said to the two: " Luckily for you, go in quickly."

Ye An thanked him hurriedly, took Yuan Bao and walked forward, while that 'Master Pan' leaned on the horse and walked behind unhurriedly.

"That... Thank you, officer, I'll give you the money right now." Ye An blushed and whispered.

The other party didn't speak, just waved his hand casually, and quickly disappeared while riding a horse.

Ye An was in a daze, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Yuan Bao: "Master! The money has finally been found!"

Forced to hold back the urge to support the forehead, he didn't want to say anything more.The gate through which they enter the city is called Nanxun Gate, which is facing Da Nei. For fear of bad luck, funeral vehicles of ordinary people are not allowed to pass through here.But folk chicken, duck, fish and meat dealers have to enter the city from now on, and the people around them are all dressed in ordinary clothes, but even so, they are much better than Zhongmou County.Ye An's master and servant are particularly conspicuous among them, so that now he just wants to find a mansion to tidy up.

Just when he was hesitating about how to go, an old man stopped him: "Excuse me...is this Mr. Ye Xiaolang?"

Ye An was stunned, why did Tokyo still know him.The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward and said courteously: "Sure enough, the young one is a servant of Jifu. He was ordered by the county magistrate to squat here for two days, and finally saw you. You don't know, those two donkeys ran back You have gone home, the county magistrate is careful about your safety, and specially asked the villain to wait here."

Ye An was moved in his heart, no matter what Master Ji had in mind, he did provide him with a lot of help.He hurriedly said: "I don't know the name of this father-in-law. I'm ashamed to say that it's me and my servants who are useless. Taking these two steps will lead to troubles. I would like to thank Mr. Ji in advance."

The old man smiled and said: "Don't dare, the little old man's surname is Lu, and people call him Lu Lao Liu. If you don't dislike it, you can go to the little old man's friend to live temporarily. He is also in this business."

Ye An nodded: "This will trouble Lu Zhang." Then he walked with Lu Laoliu.

Along the way, Ye An can't take his eyes off everything. After traveling so far, he finally saw the prosperity of Song Dynasty.Today's Bianliang City has a population of more than 150 million. It is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and has a thousand-year dream.In the Northern Song Dynasty, the boundaries of Fang and City were broken, and the commerce was highly developed, and there was an endless stream of small merchants and hawkers, which was no different from the famous painting "Along the River at Qingming Festival" in later generations.

Ye Anshang could look at it appreciatively, while Yuan Bao was too shocked to say a word, but this is also the norm for outsiders who came to Bianliang for the first time.Lu Laoliu half-satisfiedly said: "This place is just the outer city, and Nanxun Gate is passed by ordinary people. If you arrive at the Daxiangguo Temple, it will be called prosperity. But Tokyo is too big, and it is difficult to visit it in a short time. If you want to learn quickly, you can go to someone to buy a copy of the land scriptures. It only costs a few pennies. Although it only shows the general direction, it can save some effort. There are children selling them at the gate of the city. It’s inevitable that they will pester you to buy a few copies.”

"Strange? Master, why don't we have one?" Yuan Bao scratched his head, puzzled.

Ye An smiled wryly, the two of them were dressed almost like beggars in Tokyo, who would have thought of them.

It can be seen that Lu Laoliu is an old Tokyo native, and he is very familiar with the terrain. He led Ye An's master and servant to a small courtyard.

"Blind Chen, open the door, there's a visitor."

After a while, a one-eyed old man over half a century old pushed open the door and said impatiently, "It's you again, didn't you say don't bother me. You have the keys, just take people in." The attitude is extremely bad.

Lu Lao Liu didn't take it seriously, he laughed and said: "Xiao Langjun is my master's nobleman, I will stay with you for two days, usually good wine and food are served, please pay more attention."

Blind Chen didn't reply, he just waved his hand impatiently, meaning that he knew it, and then went back to the back room.

"Don't look at the old boy with bad eyesight. I heard that when he was young, he was also the number one person in the Jianghu. He also got mixed up in the Kaifeng government, but because he still has a little conscience, he dislikes those people for being too dirty, so he didn't do it. Yes. If there is anything wrong with Mr. Lang in the future, it is not easy for the government to come forward, just come to him, but just prepare some money."

Ye An hurriedly wrote down that this kind of old gun is hard to come by, and getting acquainted is an extra guarantee.

Then Lu Laoliu took him into the guest room, after a simple wash, he devoured a meal, and finally fell asleep on the bed without waking up.

……

The next day, Ye An got up early, and Chen Blind's small courtyard was in a busy market. It was just five o'clock, and the sound of hawking in the morning market outside had already been faintly heard, one after another.

Ye An and Yuan Bao live in a secluded small village, and they are a bit uncomfortable with this.Seeing the two of them getting up, Lu Laoliu hurriedly called them to have breakfast.

"This old blind man's craftsmanship is very good. Neither the Zheng's pancake shop nor the Ding's vegetarian tea shop is as delicious as his. You must try it today." Lu Lao Liu warmly recommended, he said Both restaurants are famous restaurants in Bianliang, even Ye An has heard of them.

"Hmph, it's just a show, don't compare me to them." Blind Chen turned his head disdainfully.

Ye An became interested, looked at the food on the table and said with a smile: "This is how I am lucky." He picked up a piece of Yunying noodles and took a bite.

The method of "Yunying noodles" is special. First, mix lotus root, lotus root, water chestnut, taro, chicken head, water chestnut, arrowhead mushroom, lily, etc., choose clean meat, and steam it.Let the wind dry for a while, pound it in a stone mortar, add sugar and honey, and steam it.When it is cold and hard, cut it with a knife and eat it.Blind Chen's knife skills are amazing, and the thin slices he cut are as beautiful as snow-white petals.One bite has a pleasant aroma and melts in the mouth; there are also ring cakes, which are modern sanzi, deep-fried, crunchy and delicious.

So far, Ye An has never eaten such fine food, and this is just breakfast. Although people in Tokyo generally like sweets, eating too much can make you feel tired, but the taste is surprisingly good.Ye An was full of praise, Chen Blind listened, and his face didn't smell so bad anymore.To Lu Laoliu: "Although you are annoying, the boy you brought is not bad."

Lu Laoliu had long been used to his friends' inconsistencies, and he didn't reply back. After eating, he asked, "What are your plans, Mr. Lang? I heard that you are going to study in the Imperial College. When will you come?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye An said: "It's not urgent, the paperwork is still in my hands, and I will report it when the time comes, but I don't know anything about the Imperial College, so it's not too late to settle the place where I live first."

Lu Laoliu also heard about the situation of the Ye family from the master, and knew that he was very cash-strapped, so he suggested: "That's true, then it's better for me to take Mr. Lang to find a house. There are also some acquaintances. Whatever your husband wants, they have it, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied."

Ye An was overjoyed, this is the importance of having acquaintances in the city, he quickly saluted and said, "If that's the case, I will trouble Lu Zhang."

The author has something to say:

In case everyone is confused by the names of Bianliang, Tokyo, and Kaifeng, let me explain here that they all refer to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, just for the convenience of writing.

这样表述可能会清楚一点：宋以汴梁之地为东京，名开封府。所以在行政区划上，东京代表它的地理位置，最初只是表示方位，但久之就成了地名。开封是府名，也就是正式的行政区划名字。感谢在2020-05-0120:43:52~2020-05-0611:59:09期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
