Nightfall Chapter 19: Qinghe County is here
Volume 3 Eventful Autumn Chapter 19 Qinghe County is here
Leaving Qingxia, I came to the true south of the Datang Empire. In the latest chapter of the church, there are terraces crisscrossing the fields, flowers and trees are gradually proliferating, streams and rivers flow advancing, quietly heading south, and finally merge into the famous Daze.
Because of the existence of the mountains and Qingxia in the north, even if the Southern Jin army is strong and the navy is well-known in the world, Datang did not deploy heavy troops on the southern plain.
So this equally prosperous wilderness is less magnificent than the north, and has a more beautiful and elegant atmosphere. The houses on both sides of the road are also like this. Most of them are white walls and black eaves, high and low, and it seems like a green tree and a waterwheel. In the meantime, it does not appear monotonous, on the contrary, it is quiet and beautiful.
The black horse-drawn carriage continues to the south, and the scenery along the way becomes quieter and quieter, more and more streams and rivers, Qingchi stone bridges are common, and the farmland is relatively less, but the secluded manor is a lot more.
I have already arrived in Qinghe County.
There is a big city in Qinghe County, known as the first city of the Southern Plains of the Tang Dynasty, named Yangguan. Although the topography of this city is not dangerous, it is located in a very important traffic artery. Therefore, although the court does not have heavy troops here, Yang The Yiying city defense of Guancheng was directly under the jurisdiction of the General Xu Shimou of Zhen Guo.
Today's Yangguan City Shou surnamed Zhong, the largest surname in the city is also Zhong, basically dominating all walks of life in this city, and the surname Zhong is just the most inconspicuous of the great surnames in Qinghe County.
The big lords of the high surname in the south of Datang have fertile land and countless wealth, but what really keeps these lords lasting is their emphasis on education.
These celebrities pay the most attention to the inheritance of education. For more than a thousand years, there are many celebrities. The officials of the Tang Dynasty did not say that, the previous queens did not say that many years ago, and even had several great priests of Xiling. Nowadays, many Qinghe children are serving as priests in Xiling Temple, or are hired as teachers by Tianyuyuan.
Officials at all levels in Qinghe County are basically held by the children of cliques. It’s just that the Tang law is strict and the royal family has secretly suppressed for hundreds of years. Today’s Qinghe County surnames are relatively low-key, and they serve in their own towns. Fighting for some face with Chang'an City, so the entire Qinghe County can be said to be politically clear, well-governed, very prosperous and lively, coupled with its unique literary spirit, as well as a light and comfortable religious atmosphere that can be accepted by the Chinese, so in Tang people have always been the top three places to visit. ""
The city of Yangguan is full of shops and tourists. There are 132 large and small lakes, so it is also called the city of hundred lakes. The most famous one is the Slender Lake in the south of the city. Near the government office, the most important thing is that there are the best brothels and inns in the south by the lake, and the most gorgeous flower boats on the lake.
The mission to Lanke Temple rested for a few days in Yangguan City. They lived in a relatively quiet mansion on the east side of Slender Lake. The mansion belonged to the Song family, one of the seven surnames in Qinghe County. Hearing that the mission was coming, the Song family actually let it out without hesitation, which can be said to have given the mission enough face.
About four blocks away from Slender Lake, there is a Datang Post Office with a black carriage parked outside the post office.
Ning Que looked at the city view through the window of the car, and looked at the relatively sophisticated scholars on the street. He couldn't help but smiled, thinking of the former classmate in the academy: Yangguan Zhong Dajun.
The Zhong Dajun who was vigorously nurtured by Yangguan Zhong, the Zhong Dajun who used to be extremely hostile to him, the Zhong Dajun who was beaten countless times in the face by him, the Zhong Dajun who was once replaced by his impostor, the one who had been imprisoned by him for a long time Zhong Dajun of time, Zhong Dajun who hasn't remembered for a long time.
"Everything is going."
Ning Que recalled the days in the academy, and couldn't help feeling like a world away. Now that he and Zhong Dajun are already two worlds, they are naturally qualified to feel that way.
Because of Zhong Dajun, who hates him, he naturally has no good feelings for the Zhong clan who controls Yangguan. By the way, he has no good feelings for this Yangguan city. Although sitting in a carriage all the way, it seems He couldn't find the slightest fault in this city, but he stubbornly believed that compared with Chang'an City, there was always something missing here. As for what was bad, he didn't bother to think about it. (《》)
At this moment, Sangsang left the carriage.
Ning Que asked: "Did you send the silver?"
Sangsang nodded.
Ning Que said: "Is the court document joint mailing used for confirmation?"
Sangsang said: "You can save five taels of silver, of course you will not forget."
Ning Que said with satisfaction: "That's good."
Since leaving Weicheng, to be more precise, after the Laobi Zhai opened and then began to earn a lot of silver, both of them will send Weicheng some silver taels every month on time. Although the number is not large, it is always a meaning, and according to Ning Que's words, the broken place is useless for money. No matter how much it is sent, it will eventually fall into the two places of the casino and the liquor store. Why bother to die. Guys.
Purchasing and refurbishing the house by Yanming Lake basically spent all of Ning Que’s money, and even the gambling house dividends for next year were also spent, but this visit to Lanke Temple should be considered a tolerance, so he He unceremoniously falsely passed the words of the Master, and even deceived three thousand taels of silver from Professor Huang He in the front yard, and then coerced and tricked one thousand taels from Xu Chongshan. The bag was as full as yesterday.
He and Sangsang are still habitually frugal, but since they are rich, they naturally start to care about enjoyment. Although the carriage left by Master Yan Se is good, living in the carriage in Yangguan is a bit shocking, so he chose I went to the most upscale inn next to the Slender Lake and asked for the best room.
Give the big dark horse to the inn guy. He told the guy not to feed this silly bean bag or other dry food. The guy was shocked and speechless. He thought it was a high-profile guy, and the Ma Jiaogui could not even feed the bean bag. eat.
Ning Que was not afraid that the big dark horse would eat his stomach, but that he would lose his temper because of poor food. You must know that this scumbag is now used to eating fresh melons and fruits plus big tonic things such as Huangjing Mountain Ginseng, so you don't even look at any beanbags, as for the forage.
In the beginning, this scumbag was a foodie, but this year he was brought into the ditch by the old scalper. He began to pay attention to food and drink like a master, and followed the rule of food as the sky. The problem is crazy because he may not be able to suppress it.
After a brief wash in the room, Ning Que took Sangsang to the front courtyard of the inn and asked for a private room on the second floor. He leaned on a railing and looked at Slender Lake, and unsurprisingly called the most expensive banquet.
The southern food really has a unique flavor. The greasy things such as smoked duck sauce can also make a light feeling. The green sprouts on the side of the dish are elegant, while the light things such as tofu and vegetables are thick sauce. Dyeing, coupled with a few pots of fruit wine, is really pleasing to the eyes.
Ning Que and Sangsang were eating happily. Suddenly they heard some noisy voices faintly coming from the lakeside downstairs. Someone was discussing something that happened today, and they were very angry and dissatisfied.
Ning Que listened quietly for a while, asked the young man to call the shopkeeper, and threw a penny of money over with extravagance, and then inquired clearly about what he wanted to inquire.
"Old Grandpa Cui celebrates his 100th birthday. What a great event. His Majesty the Emperor also wrote a congratulatory message and asked the minister of the Ministry of Rites to bring him his birthday. The Xiling Temple also sent someone to the town. General Xian Zhilang of the West University, that was the King of Tang Dynasty...These characters rushed to Fuchun Jiangcheng Garden to visit the old man without taking a rest after entering Yangguan. You said that the red sleeve trick is so rude. "
The shopkeeper said, it was obvious that he was really upset.
Ning Que knew that the day after tomorrow was the one hundredth birthday of the old lady of Cui Clan in Qinghe County. Probably it was Cui who was thinking about red sleeve tricks to make it difficult to make a trip to Chang'an City, so he invited him to sing and dance at the birthday banquet, but There seems to be some problems in the middle.
……
……
The surnames of Qinghe County have stretched for thousands of years and even grew up in the Tang Dynasty. They have always been highly respected by the world. Except for Zhong, the rest of the surnames do not live in Yangguan city, but live in manors by the Fuchun River Here, the famous gardens on both sides of the Fuchun River silently prove the background and power of these celebrities.
It is universally recognized that the surnames of Qinghe County are headed by the Ruyang Cui family.
The Cui family originated in Ruyangzhou.
Thousands of years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family resolutely fell to Chang'an City and agreed to merge Qinghe County into the Tang Dynasty despite the opposition of other cliques. Although more of it was due to the terrifying pressure of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. Cui’s persistence proved to be extremely wise after the incident. The surnames of Qinghe County not only survived, but also won the favor of Emperor Taizu, and gained a lot of convenience. The other so-called homes of a thousand generations who dared to ignore Emperor Taizu finally All have fallen to the tragic end of a broken family and inheritance.
In the subsequent history, the Cui family contributed a total of five queens to the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the emperor in the Chang'an City Palace must also have the blood of the Cui family. In addition, it is even more impressive. In awe, the Cui family also contributed two great priests to Xiling Temple.
Today's Cui family is still powerful and unattainable. Grandpa Cui, who is about to spend one hundred years of his own, once served as prime minister. Under the deliberate suppression of the royal family and the civil and military courtiers, officials from all surnames in Qinghe County were actually the first civil servants. This is the first time in nearly 300 years. Based on this alone, you can imagine this What an important figure Mrs. Cui is.
Many years ago, Old Grandpa Cui retired from the position of prime minister. Later, his second son served as an assistant minister, and has now resigned. He wandered around the manor in Fuchun River all day long and remained in the court of Chang'an City. The official here is already the third-generation eldest grandson of the Cui family, and has already achieved the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
The hundred-year-old birthday of such a character can naturally afford your majesty’s handwritten congratulations, and the minister of ceremonies can come in person, and even many officials in the court are speculating that if it is not for the implementation of Jiding’s national policy, perhaps your majesty’s reward should be It should be heavier.
Today's Red Sleeve Trick may be offended by such a super celebrity.
