Chapter 30 This is my family's thousand-mile horse
This night, Liangchen slept very comfortably.
He dreamed that the second uncle rode a tall horse, and walked towards him triumphantly with a group of Tengxiang four guards, and then took his hand and said proudly to the civil and military people who were watching around: "This is my family's thousand-mile horse!" ”
When I woke up, the people outside were already shouting to get into the car.
Xu Xianchun, who was sleeping next door, had already washed up, and when he saw Liangchen waking up, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Little brother dreamed of something good last night, and he smirked a few times. ”
"Oh, yes? Huh..."
Liangchen scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
He was worried about whether he was talking nonsense in his dreams at night, but seeing that Xu Xianchun and the people next to him didn't care, he thought that even if he fell asleep, he would be "tight-lipped".
Xu Xianchun gave Liangchen the silver beans in Jinghai, but Liangchen couldn't return them, but it gave Xu Xianchun a deeper impression and was quite impressed by this little brother. I took care of it on the way, and I also invited Liangchen to eat a good meal.
Getting up from the bunk, Liangchen asked casually when he was dressing: "Brother Xu, did you go to take the martial arts exam after you entered Beijing?" ”
Xu Xianchun replied while packing his baggage: "Well, after entering Beijing, I will report to the Ministry of War, and then wait for the exam at the embassy of the Ministry of War." After speaking, his face was sad, "This time I was in a hurry to take the exam, and many of the exercises were not carefully read. ”
Xu Xianchun is not worried about failing the bow horse, he is very confident in his skills, but there are too many things to test in the strategy, and he doesn't know what questions the examiner will ask this time, so he is inevitably worried. According to the imperial court, however, candidates are not allowed to take the bow and horse test.
If this subject is not successful, Xu Xian is innocent and doesn't know what to do in the future.
Liangchen fastened his belt and stepped forward to say with relief: "Brother Xu, don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam!" If you don't pass the exam, there will be no reason. "If you talk about the things on the side, the good minister has no confidence, but Xu Xianchun is taking the martial arts exam, but he dares to pat his chest and be determined.
"In the examination room, how can anyone say that they will definitely pass the exam, but I still inherit the little brother's good words."
Xu Xianchun tied up his baggage, Fang remembered something, and hurriedly asked Liangchen: "By the way, I don't know what the name of the little brother is?" ”
That night in Yaoguantun, the Fanzi of Dongchang had interrogated everyone's names, but Xu Xianchun was also very nervous at that time, patronizing to deal with Fanzi, where to remember what the name of the good minister was.
I didn't ask along the way, I was only called a little brother. However, Wei Liangchen was calm and had no pressure in the face of Fanzi, so he wrote down everyone's names instead.
"My name is Wei Liangchen."
Liangchen looked at Xu Xianchun with a smile on his face, and then said, "My second uncle's name is Wei Zhongxian." ”
This confused Xu Xianchun, he knew that Liangchen was coming to Beijing to find his second uncle, but what was his second uncle's name and what did it have to do with him?
However, Xu Xianchun didn't take it to heart, and he didn't think much about it, he nodded to Liangchen, and went to the car to wait first with his baggage.
After Xu Xianchun left, Liangchen smiled, and was about to wash his face, when he saw Zhang Cha enter the house sullenly, and then sit on the bunk.
Liangchen didn't want to care about this gambler, but when he saw him like this, he was also curious, so he stepped forward and said softly: "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang Cha said in a sullen voice: "My cousin wrote to me that he would look for me in Tongzhou, but I was about to leave and I didn't see anyone else. ”
"Maybe your cousin doesn't know when you're coming, so it's wrong."
This year is not the next generation, mobile phones are carryed, traffic is on time, and it is normal to miss the time. Liangchen was not surprised.
If no one came, what else could Zhang Cha do, and he couldn't wait in Tongzhou, so he could only carry his baggage and get in the car.
When he left the house, Zhang Cha asked Liangchen: "Is the little brother going to the capital to look for relatives?" ”
Liangchen said: "I'll go to the capital to find my second uncle." ”
Zhang Chadao: "Oh, then we are going to break up in the capital, and I am going to Jizhou to join my relatives." ”
Liangchen remembered that when Dongchang Fanzi was inspected, Zhang Cha said that he went to Jizhou to join his relatives. He nodded at Zhang Cha and went to wash.
In the courtyard, Chen's mother and daughter also packed their packages, but instead of going to the capital with everyone, they returned to their hometowns.
Not many people know about sneaking over to find his wife and daughter last night, so many people find it strange.
The people in the carriage and horse shop also specially asked to understand, and Fang sold the return ticket to Chen, and asked her and her daughter to wait for the carriage back at the inn.
After washing his face, Liangchen went to get in the car, and there were not many people in the car, only seven people.
There are fewer people, the place is convenient, and it is much more comfortable to sit than a few days ago.
After the carriage departed, Xu Xianchun said that it was useless to hold on to the Buddha's feet temporarily, but he was still holding the book and reading it attentively. Fortunately, the avenue from Tongzhou to the capital is smooth and wide, otherwise, it will be difficult to look at it bumping and bumping.
Liangchen couldn't help but think that it would be interesting if Xu Xianchun, one of the five biaos in the future, looked at it as a myopic person when he read books.
In the end, it is the head of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, where the world is prosperous, and before arriving in the capital, the business travelers on this official road are already endless.
Tongzhou is the terminal of Cao Yun, and the grain and goods from the south are transferred to Beijing through here, which makes the road from Tongzhou to Beijing extremely busy.
Some sections of the road became congested because of too many cars and horses passing through, and the long queue could be discharged for several miles, and the south could not pass, and the north could not pass, so that Shuntianfu had to send special officers and soldiers to maintain traffic order here.
Some intersections also set up a variety of warning signs, or triangular signs, or circular signs, the color of red, green and black, looks like a traffic light in later generations.
Liangchen came all the way, and it was really an eye-opener, quite like Grandma Liu, who returned to the Grand View Garden for the first time, which really opened her eyes.
Merchants and pedestrians from the south to the north speak all kinds of dialects and say anything.
It's just that Liangchen listened to it, but he didn't hear the "Mandarin" he was familiar with in his previous life. The most common thing he heard was the familiar Nanjing dialect, which was also the official language of the Ming Dynasty. Even at this time, two hundred years after Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing Mandarin was still the official language of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why this is so is because most of the people who moved the capital to Beijing with Chengzu were Jianghuai nobles, and the emperor himself also spoke the official dialect of Nanjing, so the status of this official dialect naturally cannot be shaken.
After the death of the Ming Dynasty, it was not until the middle of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty that the official dialect of the north gradually replaced the official dialect of Nanjing as the standard language. Liangchen remembered that after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the previous life, the official voted to formulate a standard language, but as a result, the southwestern official dialect, which was dominated by Sichuan dialect, lost to Beijing dialect by one vote, resulting in Mandarin becoming dominant in China and finally dominating the world.
Liangchen can't say much regret about this matter, and he is also a person who is proficient in two languages. He can speak Nanjing official dialect, and he can also speak Hebei dialect, so no matter who he communicates with along the way, there is no problem.
Before entering the capital, two more people got out of the car, and then, two more walked one after another. When they arrived at the terminal of the carriage and horse shop outside the capital, there were only three people left in the car: Liangchen, Xu Xianchun, and Zhang Cha.
Xu Xianchun was in a hurry to report to the military department, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the good ministers, agreed to meet again, and immediately went to the city.
Zhang Cha went to Jizhou and had to change trains, so after getting off the bus, he went to buy tickets for Jizhou.
Liangchen was also in a hurry to go to the Imperial Horse Prison to find the second uncle, but he didn't know where the Imperial Horse Eunuch was, he heard that the palace had a special palace gate for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to contact their relatives outside, so he was ready to ask.
As soon as he came out of the carriage and horse shop, he saw Zhang Cha being pulled by a man, and he didn't know where he went in a panic.
Got a rusher?
Liangchen was shocked, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are also strongmen in broad daylight?
