Returning to the lower river village from Anqing Province, the road is a hundred miles away, and it is by no means possible to get there overnight, so wait until you get back to the inn and then think long and hard about it.
Wind and rain, back to the inn of Zhu Pingan already wet can not be wet.
“Aiya, how come you didn’t bring an umbrella when you went out, come in quickly.” The shopkeeper who was sheltering from the rain under the eaves at the entrance saw Zhu Pingan who was braving the wind and rain, he lost his colour and hurriedly opened the door to invite Zhu Pingan to go in quickly.
There were not many people eating in the lobby, because of the storm most people were in their rooms and did not come out, it made sense that the meal they ordered before they left had already been packed away.
“Zhu Gongzi how wet, quickly change into clean clothes, I let the shop mate send a bowl of ginger sugar water to Gongzi’s room, if there are other orders, Gongzi will let you know.” The innkeeper saw Zhu Pingan walking in wet, busy walking up and handing over a dry towel, and arranging for the shop mate to prepare ginger soup and other things, this is the first government case head living in his shop, making himself proud of a lot of his peers in a few nearby inns, so he has to take care of it.
Zhu Pingan was wet and cold and was not polite, he took the dry towel handed over by the shopkeeper and said with an arch of his hand, “Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper.”
While wiping his head and face, he walked towards his room. Just as he returned to his room, the shopkeeper had already brought ginger sugar water and some simple food, and then the bath water was also ready. After thanking the shop chap, Zhu Pingan drank the ginger sugar water, took a hot bath, changed into a set of dry clothes, and then swept the food sent by the shop chap into his belly, shuffled his waist, and felt a lot more comfortable.
Outside the wind is tight and rainy, also can not immediately rush, Zhu Pingan will be their own things to pack the rules to the travelling bag, then sat at the table to read a book.
The books in the bag were a little damp, although he tried his best to protect it, but the paper was still a little stuck together, Zhu Pingan took some time to re-pack the books. Fortunately, the paper quality of the calligraphy book that the old man gave to him was quite good, and the font was not affected.
Rainy day reading is a kind of enjoyment, the rain hit the screen window wind to send cool, soak a pot of fragrant tea, sitting under the window, scroll open reading is really a great pleasure in life.
Zhu Pingan leaning against the window quietly enjoy the word post, but do not know that hundreds of metres away from the drunken gentleman building hormones on the head of the male hustle and bustle almost broke the roof of the building, Mulan words brought about by the continued fermentation, as well as the female school book Mo’er tore off the veil to reveal the pretty face ……
And in the evening, the room if not light a candle flame can not see the words on the book, at this time drunken uncle and several townspeople staggered up the stairs, will Zhu Pingan’s room door knocking banging.
Zhu Pingan opened the door to the room will smell a mixed with the smell of earthy alcohol breath came, outside the door of the eldest uncle and a few townspeople seem to fall in the muddy water feet, mud are hanging to the face to go.
“Tsk, swine child you go so early is really a pity …… Drunken Monarch House of female school books, increase one point is too long, reduce one point is too short; with powder is too white, Shi Zhu is too red; eyebrow such as Cui Fei, muscle such as white snow; waist such as bundled veil, teeth such as containing shells; smile sweetly, confuse the Yangcheng, fascinated by the next Cai …… “The left half of his face is covered with mud and water, and he is now showing a mouthful of white teeth as he tsked, regretting that Zhu Pingan had left early and did not see the real face of the schoolgirl.
Er
Why are you still reciting the Dengtu Zi Lustful Fugue.
Zhu Pingan was a little speechless, but the eldest relative to his friend is quite good, the eldest’s fat friend at the moment is again Xiang general piled to the ground, snoring ……
“That’s just it, goo …… beauty, you’re such a shame. But, heh heh, it is cheap for us ……” A townsman spoke in a big tongue, gesticulating with his teeth and claws, and those who did not know the truth thought that he had something interesting going on with someone else s female school book.
“People female school book was going to invite you to go to the room to play the piano and drink wine, you are not in, who let us be you …… are your townspeople, but also thanks to brother Zhu, we just for you to go ahead to drink wine, heh heh heh, the piano beautiful people beautiful wine …… “Another townspeople leaning against the door frame, grinning giggling, although just listen to the piano drink a little wine, but so close contact with the female school book, already enough to boast in front of others.
Brother Zhu must be referring to the eldest uncle, and only the eldest uncle will be like this.
“Today a should be spent are shared by all, An brother child do not go, with me and others here to prepare for the examination ……”
“Swine child, big uncle tomorrow with you to warm the book to talk about the Spring and Autumn ……”
Zhu Pingan looked at the stand are not stable, half body mud half body wine gas, threatened to give their own book to speak of Spring and Autumn with the preparation for the examination of the eldest uncle and all the townspeople, can only laugh.
Have been disturbed by them until half past midnight, only in the shop mate’s help to send them away.
“Big uncle tomorrow with you warm book ……”
“Tomorrow at Drunken Monarch House, we prepare for the courtyard exam ……”
Drunken can not distinguish between east and west, north and south, Dabo and other people were carried away by the shop boys, do not since chatter.
On the second day, the sky is great, the wind stops raining, the red sun rises in the east.
Zhu Pingan rubbed his head and smiled bitterly as he walked out from a standard shop.
The TV series killed people, thinking about the road from Anqingfu to Xihe Village is a hundred miles away, the road terrain is complicated, and the ancient times are not as safe as modern times, even in the Jiajing era, there are also from time to time ungrateful thieves moving single pedestrians’ ideas. From the TV series to see the dart board escort dart when there will be escorting people’s business, such as a certain Jin Yiwei film is, they are looking for in Anqing Province, looking for half a day did not find the dart board, asked the passers-by, are shaking their heads do not know the dart board, only one person pointed to a location where there is a “standard line,” I do not know if it is not what you said.
This Zhu Pingan is aware that the standard line is the prototype of the dart board, the dart board is in the Qing Dynasty only appeared, but the standard line in the Ming Dynasty, there are records in the Golden Lotus. Thinking that the TV show may just get the name wrong, Zhu Pingan went to this “standard line”, inquire to see if they have any recent business to the town of Guanshan.
Unexpectedly, he made a joke.
First of all, the standard line of the Ming Dynasty transport goods is not ordinary goods, but valuable things (such as rare and exotic treasures), in addition, people have never had the business of sending people on the way, is to bring people is also the owner of the valuable things, do not know your roots, how to dare to just take you on the road.
Rich people will naturally have guards to send, no money on the people in groups of three or five travelling together, simply do not use the dart board.
Therefore, when Zhu Pingan went to enquire about it, people just looked at him like he was a fool.
But not for nothing, the person who marked the line told Zhu Pingan that he could go to the carriage house to ask.
Zhu Pingan from the standard line of embarrassment out, then went to the carriage house, it so happens that the carriage house will have a team of carriages to the leaning town, plus Zhu Pingan, the number of people is also almost together, Zhu Pingan paid a deposit of five silver silver, then received a wooden card card, engraved on it a horse.
Everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow can come to the carriage house, take the carriage to the leaning hill town, and then you can reach home.
Homesickness.
