Returning to Xiahe Village from Anqing Mansion is a hundred miles away and cannot be reached in one day. We will consider the long term after we return to the inn.
It was windy and rainy, and when Zhu Ping'an returned to the inn, he was already so wet that he could no longer get wet.
"Oh, sir, you don't bring an umbrella with you when you go out. Come in quickly." The shop assistant who was taking shelter under the eaves at the door couldn't help but lose color when he saw Zhu Pingan walking in the wind and rain. He quickly opened the door and asked Zhu Pingan to come in quickly. .
There weren't many people eating in the lobby. Most people didn't come out of their rooms because of the wind and rain. The food they ordered before leaving had already been packed away, which is reasonable.
"Why is Mr. Zhu so wet? Please change into clean clothes quickly. I'll ask the shop assistant to deliver a bowl of ginger syrup to the young master's room. If you have any other instructions, the young master will let you know." The innkeeper saw Zhu Ping'an walking in wetly. , hurriedly walked forward and handed over a dry towel, and arranged for the store clerk to prepare ginger soup and other items. This was the first boss in his store, which made him very proud among his colleagues in several nearby inns. , but it needs to be taken care of.
Zhu Ping'an was wet, cold and unceremonious. He took the dry towel from the shopkeeper and said, "Then I'll thank the shopkeeper."
While wiping his head and face, he walked to his room. As soon as I returned to the room, the waiter had already brought ginger syrup and some simple food, and the bath water was also ready. After thanking the store clerk, Zhu Pingan drank the ginger syrup, took a hot bath, changed into a set of dry clothes, and then swept the food brought by the store clerk into his stomach. He stretched his waist and felt much better. .
It was windy and rainy outside, and he couldn't rush out immediately. After Zhu Pingan packed his things into his luggage, he sat at the table and read a book.
The books in the schoolbag were a little damp. Although he tried his best to protect them, the papers were still stuck together. It took Zhu Pingan a long time to put the books away again. Fortunately, the paper quality of the copybook given to him by the old fishing man was quite good, and the font was not affected at all.
The sound of the wind is accompanied by the sound of Zhu Pingan turning the pages of books, the thunder and lightning echo the dim oil lamp in the house, and the night is accompanied by Zhu Pingan's pen and ink flying in the sky.
Zhu Ping'an quietly enjoyed the copybook by the window, but he didn't know that the hormonal male noise in Zuijun Tower hundreds of meters away almost broke the roof of the building, the continuous fermentation caused by Mulan's poems, and the girl's school scholar Mo'er pulled off her veil to reveal Pretty face...
In the evening, if there were no candles in the room, it would be difficult to read the words on the book. At this time, the drunken uncle and several villagers staggered upstairs and knocked on Zhu Ping'an's door.
When Zhu Pingan opened the door, he smelled the smell of alcohol mixed with the earthy smell. The uncle and several villagers outside the door seemed to have fallen in the mud, and the mud was on their faces.
"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that you left so early, Shi'er... In the girls' school of Zuijun Tower, if you increase it by one point, it will be too long; if you decrease it by one point, it will be too short; if you apply powder, it will be too white; if you apply red, it will be too red; if the eyebrows are like Green feathers, skin as white as snow; waist like a bunch of silk, teeth like shells; a charming smile, bewildered Yangcheng, fascinated Cai..." The left half of the uncle Zhu Shouren's face was covered with muddy water, and he was clicking his tongue with a mouth of white teeth at this moment, I feel sorry that Zhu Ping'an left early and didn't see the true appearance of the girls' school book.
Well
Why are you still memorizing "The Fu of Dengtuzi Lust"?
Zhu Ping'an was a little speechless, but his uncle was pretty good compared to his friends. At this moment, the uncle's fat friends were piled on the ground again, snoring...
"That's right, Gu...mei, it's such a pity for you. But, hehehe, it does give us an advantage..." A villager spoke with a loud tongue and gestured with his teeth and claws. Those who didn't know the truth thought he was with a girl's school girl. Something interesting happened.
"The girl's school is going to invite you to the room to play the piano and have a drink. If you are not here, why let us be you...we are from your hometown. It is also thanks to Brother Zhu that we went to have a drink on your behalf. Hahaha, beauty Qin. Good wine..." Another countryman leaned against the door frame, grinning stupidly. Although he just listened to the piano and drank a little wine, having such a close contact with the girls' school book was enough to show off in front of others.
Brother Zhu must be referring to the uncle, and only the uncle would act like this.
"Everything today will be shared by everyone. Brother An, please don't leave. Follow me here to prepare for the exam..."
"Xie'er, uncle will review books and talk about the Spring and Autumn Period with you tomorrow..."
Zhu Ping'an could only laugh when he saw that he couldn't stand still, half covered with mud and half smelling of alcohol, and threatened to write a book about Spring and Autumn Period for himself, prepare for the exam for his uncle and fellow villagers.
I was disturbed by them until midnight, and then I sent them away with the help of the store clerk.
"Uncle, I will review books with you tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow, Zuijunlou, we will prepare for the college exam..."
When Da Bo and others who are so drunk that they can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south are being carried away by the store clerk, don't keep chattering to yourself.
The next day, the weather was beautiful, the wind stopped raining, and the red sun rose in the east.
Zhu Pingan rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly, and walked out of a shop.
The TV series kills people. Thinking about it, the road from Anqing Prefecture to Xiahe Village is a hundred miles away. The terrain is complicated, and ancient times are not as safe as modern times. Even during the Jiajing era, there were often unsighted thieves who preyed on single pedestrians. idea. I saw from TV dramas that escort agencies also provide escort services when escorting escorts. For example, in the movie about a certain Jin Yiwei, I searched for the escort agency in Anqing Mansion. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find the escort agency. When I asked passersby, they all shook their heads and didn't know the escort agency. Only one person pointed to a location and said there was a "Biao Bank" there. I don't know if that was you.
Zhu Ping'an did know that Biaoxing was the prototype of the Escort Agency. Escort agencies only appeared in the Qing Dynasty, but Biaoxing existed in the Ming Dynasty and was recorded in Jin Ping Mei. Thinking that the TV series might have just got the name wrong, Zhu Ping'an went to this "Biao Bank" and asked to see if they had any business going to Kaoshan Town in the near future.
Unexpectedly, a joke was made.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty's Biao Bank only transported valuables, not ordinary items; moreover, they never had the business of giving away people. Even if you take someone with you, you are also the owner of the valuables. If you don't know your background, how can you dare to take it with you casually? You're on your way, what if you lead a wolf into your house?
Rich people will naturally have escorts to escort them to the hospital, while those without money will travel in small groups without any need for escorts.
Therefore, when Zhu Ping'an went to inquire, he looked like he was looking at an idiot.
But it wasn't all nothing. The people from Biao Bank told Zhu Ping'an that he could go to the carriage and horse dealership to ask.
Zhu Pingan awkwardly came out of Biao Bank and went to the carriage and horse shop. It happened that the carriage and horse shop would have a group of carriages going to Kaoshan Town in the near future. With Zhu Pingan, the number of people was almost complete. Zhu Pingan paid five silver coins. After paying the deposit, I received a wooden card with a horse engraved on it.
When everything is ready, you can come to the carriage and horse carriage tomorrow and take a carriage to Kaoshan Town, and then you can get home.
I feel homesick.
(I will report to the institute today and go through the onboarding procedures. The update time may be during lunch break or in the evening.)
