19. There is chivalry everywhere in the rivers and lakes
The days go by like water, and God's face changes at any time. Qingshan Town is located in the south and the climate is relatively mild. But when winter comes, in the north, you can relax on the heated stove with thick clothes to warm the stove.
While eating melon seeds, the damp and cold in the southern mountains kills several elderly people who are barely surviving every year.
Wearing expensive mink furs and laying charcoal floor dragons in the room, the arty literati and poets who still have a leisurely time to warm wine, enjoy the snow and recite poems are lamenting whether the heavy snow in front of them can be compared with spreading salt in the air, or whether it is like catkins blown up by the wind.
At that time, for poor people who had little food in their homes and insufficient heating coals, the heavier the snow covering the sky, the harder this winter would be.
The world values the high sect, but the people despise the Han clan. How many people in the former group really take the saying "The rich sect smells of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road" seriously?
The people of Qingshan Town have taken root in fertile land with a radius of hundreds of miles. They have not suffered any major natural or man-made disasters for more than ten generations. It is not a battleground for military strategists. No matter how thick the smoke is, it will not burn it.
Coming from the town, Qishan County, not to mention a county, is considered a top-notch county with excellent official performance evaluation within a state. I have been serving as the county magistrate for three years smoothly. Not to mention being promoted to Beijing, the mind of a county has not gone away.
.
Whether it is Qingshan Town, Qishan County, or Jiangzhou where they are located, and the territory of the other fifteen states, they are all part of the territory of Yao. Yao only founded the country for more than forty years. At present, the country's power is at its peak, and the barbarians dare not invade.
Dare not disturb, dozens of vassal states in the four directions all claimed vassal status and paid tribute. Only Dazheng and Dayao decades ago could compete with each other. However, Emperor Taizu of Dayao drove to the west three times, and he was once the king of the world.
Dazheng, the leader of the country, broke the mountains and rivers and surrendered. He ceded territory and asked for peace without saying a word. Even the country's title was changed to Hou Zheng to show that he would never be an enemy.
When Mr. Qian traveled around the country for several years, he only visited a few states near Jiangzhou. As you can imagine, Daning's territory was vast.
Wei Changpan put on his best cotton clothes today and followed his master on the thirty-six-mile mountain road to Qishan County.
This winter coat is still the handiwork of Grandma Chen. The stitching is fine and the material is strong. It is much nicer and warmer than Wei Changpan's shabby and thin clothes with lots of patches. Mr. Qian's clothes are much more sophisticated, with a brand-new leather jacket and fox
He was wearing a leather scarf and his boots were stuffed with velvet. He was riding on the only half-old chestnut horse in the town. Mr. Qian said he wanted to take his apprentice around the county town to experience the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and by the way, he would take him to meet the people he had never met before.
Master is the master.
When the sun started to rise, he went out. Mr. Qian rode the old horse, which was no longer strong enough no matter how hard it was whipped, to walk slowly. Wei Changpan held the horse rope and walked in front of him.
front.
The mountain road into the county is not easy to walk. Even Wei Changpan, who is used to climbing mountains and has a first-level martial arts body to support him, is steaming with heat and has beads of sweat on his forehead.
The master was humming the little tune he never tired of humming on the horse. The apprentice took off his thick coat and put it on the horse. The old horse swung its tail from time to time, and the two of them walked on the mountain road.
It took almost two hours to reach the outline of Qishan County on the Thirty-Six Mile Mountain Road. The surrounding mountains have ended here, and behind the county seat is an unobstructed view of the plain terrain.
The sun was rising above the head, and the old horse, which was still trudging through the mountain road before it was old, was exhausted. Mr. Qian got off the horse and was led by Wei Changpan to the foot of the city wall of Qishan County.
Qishan County has always been peaceful and peaceful in all dynasties. Naturally, the local officials did not need to carry out large-scale construction to build the city wall as high as possible. To be honest, the city wall that is more than ten feet high is more valuable for decoration than practical significance. A few lazy soldiers carried out a rough inspection with their spears.
Swords are sheathed, bows and arrows are put away. Dayao officials have relaxed control over civilian weapons. The swords carried by knights and knights can't help entering the city. Military crossbows, armors and the like are strictly investigated and cautious. Once discovered, if the origin is unknown, they will be confiscated.
, once identified, the principal culprit was beheaded and the accomplice was exiled thousands of miles away.
At this time, Mr. Qian had not had enough water and rice for a long time. The first thing he was anxious about now was not to take Wei Changpan to visit the old man, but to hurry up and fill his whining belly.
Entering the county town, Wei Changpan, who had never seen so many houses and shops, looked around. However, Master Qian was in a hurry to fill his stomach, so he could only follow closely, reluctantly taking a glance at them.
Seeing that there were a lot of people in a restaurant with the sign "Fu Xianju" and the aroma of the dishes wafting out was very attractive, Mr. Qian went in without saying a word and threw a tael of silver to the waiter, asking for the chef's specialty
The dishes were all served, and the horses outside gave me plenty of fodder, water, and a jug of good wine. If you were satisfied with the meal, you would be rewarded.
As soon as he got the money, he immediately beamed with joy. He brought Mr. Qian to a table that had just been vacated. He made tea and told the guest to use some tea. The dishes would be served to you quickly.
This restaurant is probably one of the best in the county. Not to mention that the seats are full, and there are two pretty girls who are singing to entertain some of the drinkers. The tune is a very melodious Jiangnan voice, and there are many drinkers listening.
When he got up, he gave away the scraps of silver.
How can there be any reason for food to come at night when you throw away a tael of silver? There are more than a dozen kinds of dishes, but Wei Changpan has never heard of two of them. The cooking taste is better than that of Grandma Chen
It turned out to be slightly inferior. Mr. Qian was very satisfied and threw another piece of silver to the waiter.
When he came to the county, he had some business to attend to, and the second master, who was fond of drinking, had restrained himself a little. A pot of light wine was less than half of the usual amount.
When the meal was six minutes full, a sudden shout and a slap came along with the woman's cry. Everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but look at her with suspicion.
The two singing girls had just finished singing and stood up when they accidentally bumped into the waiter carrying a plate of dishes. The plate of greasy sauce was poured onto a guest who looked like a wealthy man in his fifties. They slapped him in anger.
Just on the face of that young girl, a red palm print immediately appeared.
While the young lady was holding back her tears, she apologized profusely to the fat rich man. The latter was obviously still angry and started throwing obscene words at the young lady. He actually rolled up his sleeves and wanted to punch and kick the weak young lady.
.
Wei Changpan and Qian Erye saw this, and the master had already signaled the apprentice to take action as soon as he made a move. He also tried to test the strength of the martial artist on the first floor after holding on for so long.
The fat on the rich man's arms was trembling, and he raised his fist to swing at the little girl.
The young lady only dared to raise her hands to protect her face and closed her eyes as if accepting her fate.
Wei Changpan got up from his chair and tensed up, preparing to rush towards the rich man.
At this time, there was a cloth shoe that had walked many, many roads. The broken copper on the toes was patched with grass. The worn-out sole left a deep mark on the rich man's buttocks. The cloth shoe
The gang finally became overwhelmed and opened a hole that could not be repaired. The foot left where it was resting and flew out.
The rich man was kicked to the ground by the cloth shoe.
Embarrassingly picking up the cloth shoe covers, the young man wearing a poor sword and a sword helped the young lady up and smiled awkwardly.
