Chapter 261: Bianliang City Like a Dream (I)

(There was a power outage today, and I almost couldn't update, and I was sweating at a waterfall.) )

After leaving Niutouyi, they traveled for two days to the territory of Taikang County, and then turned north through Qixian County and went straight to Bianliang in the northwest.

Counting the itinerary for seven days, these seven days have made Su Jin tired enough, sitting on the horse, both buttocks are about to grind out a thick layer of calluses, and there are many people, and they can't sneak into Yan Biyun's car for a while, and the team didn't let Su Jin's car rest at all, and Yan Shu didn't ask Su Jin to talk in his wide luxury car, Su Jin was miserable.

Su Jin can only sleep on his stomach every night, but fortunately, he can talk to Yan Biyun and them at night, Xiao Sui'er and Huanniang feel sorry for Su Jin, but often give him a relaxation of his muscles and a massage.

However, when he arrived at the outskirts of Bianliang, Su Jin's riding skills had been exercised very well, and once he rode a horse once he trotted, Su Jin grabbed the saddle and turned pale with fright, but now Su Jin has been able to ride like a fly, and after adapting to the polishing of the saddle in the buttocks, and learning to use dexterity up and down with the horse's body, Su Jin's hard days have come to an end, and he will gallop the horse for a while from time to time.

On the autumn wilderness, Su Jin's figure came and went, which made several women in the car smile, this guy is still a child, and he is so excited to ride a horse.

The closer you get to Bianliang, the more prosperous the scenery in front of you becomes, there are more small market towns, there are more people, people's clothes are gradually luxurious, their expressions are more and more arrogant, and the houses in the village are getting bigger and more exquisite, in short, you will feel a different place from other places.

Su Jin understood that this was the unique psychological advantage cultivated by the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and this was a temperament that could not be imitated.

On October 18, the convoy arrived outside Bianliang City, stopped to watch from afar, a large city that stretched for dozens of miles lay in front of everyone, high-rise green trees, red tiles and yellow walls, and faintly noisy human voices, all showing the prosperity of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Jin knew that Bianliang City was the largest capital city in the world in this era, with a radius of 30 miles, a population of nearly 1.3 million, nearly 10,000 shops, and as many as 150,000 forbidden troops defending the capital alone, which could undoubtedly be called the largest metropolis in the world.

Su Jin was very excited to finally see the demeanor of this prosperous Song Capital, and at the same time he also knew that the turning point in his life might start today.

Outside the long pavilion ten miles away from the city, the brigade stopped, and Fu Bi rode his horse to Yan Shu's sedan chair and asked, "Please show me, shall we go directly to the inner city or go back to Tianshuijing Hutong first?" ”

Yan Shu lifted the sedan curtain to look at the sky and said: "It's almost noon, let's go back to Tianshuijing Hutong first, settle Su Jin and the others, and in the afternoon, you and I will enter the palace to meet the saint, and let Su Jin and them rest first." ”

Fu Bi agreed, ordered the team to assemble the whole team, fight the honor guard, turn to Lijingmen, at noon, entered Bianliang City, and went along the wide street on the east bank of Bianshui to Yan Shu's mansion in Tianshuijing Hutong.

Su Jin rode on the horse, his eyes were a little insufficient, since the moment he entered the city gate, Su Jin's mouth had not been closed, the people on both sides of the Bianhe River were like weaving, the prosperity was beyond his imagination, the riverside shops were lined up one after another, there were hundreds of large and small boats on the Bianshui River, and there was a stone arch bridge built on the river, and the two sides of the river were unimpeded.

Boaters, horseback riders, chariot drivers, wanderers, burden-bearers, burden-bearers, traders, cross-shouldered officials, beggars shrunk under the wall, soldiers who beat horses and scolded all the way, hawkers shouting and selling, charlatans playing monkey tricks, and tea customers foaming at the teahouse...... A whole picture of the whole market.

Su Jin has seen "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", but he always thinks that it is artistically processed, not realistic; Now that the scene in front of him is compared to the picture, Su Jin is completely convinced; Today is just an ordinary day, neither a solar term nor a festival, such an ordinary day has caught up with the painting, not to mention the festival, how vast it should be; It seems that the painting is not exaggerated, but omitted a lot.

When the master arrived home, the Yan family came out to greet him, Su Jin looked at the battle, dozens of people of all sizes were dumbfounded, Yan Shuguang had six or seven sons, the eldest was forty or fifty years old, the youngest was still in swaddling clothes, and even the concubines had six or seven, all of them were beautiful and charming, and couldn't help but secretly envy Yan Shu for knowing how to enjoy life.

Yan Shu got off the sedan chair with a smile, ignored everyone's salute and first came to the concubine holding the youngest son, stretched out his hand to hug the young son who was dancing with his hands and feet, and teased with a smile.

Su Jin suddenly remembered one thing, this youngest child is not Yan Shu's seventh son, Yan Jidao, who will be famous in later generations? It was this young master who wrote the famous sentence 'Falling flowers are independent, and micro swifts fly together', I didn't expect to see Yan Xiaoshan, Su Jin had a strong sense of unreality that distorted time and space.

The father and son over there were already in a lot of trouble, and Yan grabbed Yan Shu's official hat with a few chubby little hands, which undoubtedly destroyed Yan Shu's image; But Yan Shu didn't care, the fat on the fat body shook with a smile, like a wave undulating, obviously enjoying it.

Everyone entered Yan's mansion, Yan Shu introduced everyone to Su Jin to greet him, and instructed the servants to clean up a small courtyard for Su Jin to live in, Su Jin hurriedly said: "It's better not to trouble adults, I want to live outside." ”

Yan Shu was stunned and said, "Then why? There are still free houses in the house, and it is more convenient to live and talk in the house. ”

Su Jin looked at Yan Biyun, who bowed his head and was silent, and said firmly: "Don't bother, I'll rent a courtyard near the left, and the adults will be on call if they have orders." ”

Before Yan Shu could say more, Yan Biyun stepped forward and said: "Since Su Gongzi has this intention, why should my uncle force it, but I am afraid that the house in this Bianliang City is not easy to rent, and I don't know if there is a shared yard near this left." ”

Su Jin turned his head to the four foodies and said, "You go to the left near in the afternoon to look for it, it's enough for a few of us to live, as long as it's not too tattered, the price is negotiable." ”

Xiao Sui'er said: "In the afternoon, Sister Huanniang and I will also go to find it." ”

Yan Shu frowned, he didn't understand why Su Jin did this, he looked a little unhappy; Su Jin can ignore his stubble, Su Jin doesn't do anything under the fence, eat your house and live yours, if you ask for anything, can I refute it? Besides, although Yan Biyun lives under the same roof in the Yan family, he is actually even more uncomfortable, can he sneak into Yan Biyun's boudoir in front of everyone? It's better to be relaxed outside, and it is more convenient to have a tryst with Yan Biyun; Besides, if you have an elegant yard to live in, you can also study and study, so as not to throw what you have learned out of the clouds.

In the afternoon, everyone in the Su family set out together, and even Yan Biyun and Xiao Xian'er took their servants and maids to inquire around, and finally found a courtyard in Yulin Lane at the north end of Tianshuijing Hutong, which was more than half smaller than the house in Yingtianfu, but the rent was more than twice as high.

Xiao Sui'er was too expensive, and she almost quarreled with the owner, Yan Biyun, who rushed over to see the yard, was happy, and directly paid a year's rent, which made the red-faced and thick-necked owner-in-law smile, and after setting the deed, she went with a thousand thanks.

Su Jin rolled his eyes, what is this, how can there be a woman who pays behind her ass, if this is known to the Yan family, wouldn't her style of grabbing money in the Yan Mansion become a joke; However, Su Jin quickly found a reason for herself to be at ease, isn't her money my money? What is used by hers is used by me, and what is saved by mine is saved for her, and it is not a big deal.

According to Yan Shu's arrangement, Su Jin first settled down and waited for the emperor's summons, Yan Shu and Fu Bi would enter the palace in the afternoon to resume their lives, and at the same time tell the emperor that Su Jin had come to Beijing with him, but the emperor has a lot of things, and when to see Su Jin, but it is every quasi-score, only waiting for news.

Su Jin doesn't care about this, you want to see me, you don't worry about what I'm anxious about, it's a big deal for me to respond to the Heavenly Academy to study; This matter soon fell to the second place in Su Jin's heart, and when he came to this bustling metropolis, he didn't come for nothing to see the people and appreciate the delicacies and snacks here.

Although shopping is not Su Jin's favorite, but in later generations, under the training of his girlfriend, he was imperceptibly edified, and he did not regard this matter as a chore like most men in later generations, and the plan was soon unanimously supported by several major foodies and Xiao Suier Huanniang and others, and everyone decided to rest for half a day first, and go to visit this Tokyo Bianliang City early tomorrow morning.
