The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 282
Ten years later, the outskirts of Tokyo Bianliang
The night will be late and there will be heavy rains. It will be difficult for vehicles to drive on the road. If you want to enter the city in the rain, the road may slip out of the rainy day. Therefore, the pedestrians will discuss where to stay for shelter from the rain. It’s not a problem because it’s already close to the fortress and there are many dwellings here.
Several of the cars also stopped, and a group of people came down on them, dressed in printed and dyed cloths and silver ornaments, but they were dressed as Miao people.
Passers-by didn’t look at it much, just because the city of Bianliang gathered many merchants from all over the world. In recent years, Guangnan tea wine, cotton cloth and other businesses have risen. Among them, there are many local Tu people operating in Bianliang, which is not unusual.
The people in the city have more exchanges with them, and found that they not only do business, but also learn Confucian culture, and they can also pass on their own culture, teaching people that they are not the generation of hair and blood.
Unlike in the past, most of the Miao people perform arts, singing and dancing, and occasionally they are engaged in food and beverage business, which is also cited as a myth. Therefore, it is admired and rarely regarded as barbarians anymore.
Among the group of Miao people, headed by a young man with a double ten or so, this person has a handsome appearance, a soft and delicate facial features, and a taller figure. A pair of black and white eyes are clear, exquisite and spiritual, and self-conscious. There is some majesty.
The subordinates respectfully reported: “The heavy rain probably won’t stop for a while. Most of the owners of cars blocked in front have to stay around. I have inquired about it. It is near Puguanze Youyuan and there are many homestays nearby. The owner is Puguanzefen from Zhizhou. Isn’t the Yuannian card universal? Simply enter the Youyuan, and there is a proper first-class inn in it.”
The Miao family nodded and said, “Yes, Bai Qi, you can pass it on. I will stay in Puguanze tonight.”
As a result, the pedestrian diverted to the direction of Puguanze Youyuan.
Although Bai Qi suggested living in Puguanze Youyuan, he was full of curiosity about that place. He grew up in Guangnan and this is the first time he has entered Beijing. This Puguanze Youyuan branch garden is open all over the world. I don’t know how many visitors have been received. I heard that the branch gardens are all built according to the model of the capital’s main garden. There is no novelty, and it must be promoted from the main garden. Even the name Pu Guanze is derived from the address of the total garden.
On the contrary, his master seems to have been to Tokyo three times. The last time was ten years ago. At that time, he should have visited the main garden of Puguan Zeyouyuan.
At this time, it was getting late and there was still heavy rain, but Puguanze was still brightly lit, and people could shop, play, and watch performances indoors. It’s just the performance on the big stage, I’m afraid it has stopped.
Just looking at the gate, Bai Qi felt familiar, and it was exactly the same as the one he had seen in Guizhou.
At the door, Bai Qi took out the annual card opened by Guizhou Puguanze Youyuan from his arms and handed it to the person who checked the ticket.
The inspector checked the universal password, and asked him to draw the curtain to register the number of people.
In the first car, there was Bai Qi’s owner. The ticket inspector held up the lantern and looked inside. He was shocked, “I’m rude, I’m rude! It turned out to be Yun Lang driving, this, is this a surprise inspection… “
The ticket inspector was nervous for a while, said what was in his mind, a little apprehensive, and racked his brains on how to pass the news to his boss.
Bai Qi only saw that the ticket inspector suddenly bowed his back, showing a respectful look. He was a little puzzled.
Before coming to Beijing, he had heard that there are no more capable people in Kyoto than in Guizhou. In order not to cause trouble to the owner, he must act in a low-key and steady manner.
And along the way, Bai Qi also discovered that the closer he gets to Bianjing, the straighter the backs of the Xiaomins he meets. And ticket inspectors like Puguanze Youyuan… are in their Guizhou branch, and they have a cold attitude towards ordinary people.
They are local snakes in Guizhou and not in Tokyo. Even if the ticket inspector knows their identity, he shouldn’t be so respectful, right?
No, what Yun Lang did this person say, could it be that he confessed to the wrong person?
Bai Qi hurriedly said: “You misunderstood the wrong person, our head is not surnamed Yun!”
“Huh?” The ticket inspector was surprised, and he dared to hold the lantern and look again. Only then did he discover that although the person inside was born like Yunlangxiao, he was a little younger and the details were quite different. It was really dizzy. Misidentified for a while.
“I’m sorry, this guest is born like our Shangguan, the villain admitted wrong.” The ticket inspector gave an embarrassing salute. He recognized the name on the annual card and apologized again, “Shi Langjun, sorry, sorry. .”
“It’s okay.” Bai Qi saw that his arrogant master, who was always arrogant, actually replied, even with a relaxed smile on his lips, which really made him dumbfounded.
After checking the tickets, the ticket inspector put everyone in Youyuan. After they had gone far, they thought for a while, maybe this person is not Yunlang, but has relatives with Yunlang.
Many people know that Yunlang’s father’s family is a Miao, and this person is also dressed as a Miao. He thought over and over again and reported the news to his boss. The boss really ordered to go down and inform the inn receiving him quickly, so he must respond well.
On the other side, after arriving at the inn, Bai Qi went to register. He only felt that the host was very affectionate. While someone registered for them, someone sent towels, hot water and other things to ask the waiting host and companions to rest.
Bai Qi thought to himself, it is worthy of the service provided by Kyoto and Youyuan Zongyuan Inn, which is really good. Like their services in Guizhou, because there are too many people, it’s just that they have a high status. Ordinary people really don’t care about being so considerate.
After staying in the room, Bai Qi heard the faint sound of gongs and drums outside, and the sudden loud cheers, and couldn’t help opening the window. This is probably not far away in the theater, a red corner is on the stage.
In recent years, Bian Opera can be said to have spread all over the country and blossomed everywhere. But as for all those who are famous, Mr. Kongji from the Confucian family class in Bianjing has studied under him, and Bai Qi Suri also likes to listen to operas, so he knows something about it.
The most popular theater troupe in Guizhou, the entire troupe graduated from the training class set up by the Kong Family Class. It is no wonder that some people call Bian Opera Confucian Opera.
Being in the hustle and bustle, Bai Qi is even more yearning for the scenery in Bianjing. When he was thirteen years old, he was chosen to be a guard by his master, and he also studied Sinology together, and he is now considered rough.
Today’s Guangnan is very different from previous years. Bai Qi still remembers when he was young, digging for bugs and eating hungry. Later, it seemed that as the number of government and academies in Guizhou increased, the Bo Yichang was opened, and all kinds of government orders went smoothly, the people he saw lived better and better, and many Miao people moved to the foot of the mountain. , Convenient for work and life.
The contradiction between the Tu and Han people gradually disappeared. Unlike before, Bai Qi’s parents warned him not to talk to the Han people, but now, Bai Qi’s parents sell Miao medicine in the Han settlements…
So what does the origin of the Han culture look like? More and more merchants came to Guangnan. What Bai Qi heard from them was the prosperous Bianjing. They described the Bianhe River where weeping willows were planted on the central bank, the bells of Daxiangguo Temple, the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival… Everything has been depicted thousands of times in Bai Qi’s mind.
This time the master came to Beijing and brought Bai Qi with him, which really made him overjoyed.
Although the conditions of the Inn in Youyuannei are good, the downside is that it is not quiet enough. In the hustle and bustle almost all night, Bai Qi fell asleep with his yearning for Bianjing.
…
The day was bright, Bai Qi waited for the master to get up to wash and go downstairs.
The people in the inn asked them if they wanted to play in the garden. If not, the cumbersome carriage could help them rush to the door from the dedicated passage, and there was also a special car in the garden for them to use.
Bai Qi looked at the master’s expression and nodded in agreement. When I went out to see, the car had no walls, which was convenient for sightseeing. It was painted in black and white. On the roof of the car, there were two ears and dark circles under the eyes. It was in the shape of a bamboo bear, and there could be a lot of people inside.
After getting in the car, the coachman asked them where they were going, and drove the docile bamboo bear carriage.
In the daytime, it cleared again, and there were more people in Pu Guanze. Bai Qi couldn’t help saying, “There are so many people…”
The area of Kamoseki, Tokyo is much larger than that of Guizhou, and the population of Tokyo is also larger.
The coachman chuckled: “Not many, guests, today is the Buddha’s birthday, and many people have gone to the temple to give worship to the Buddha!”
There are not many monasteries in Guizhou, and it is not popular to celebrate the birthday of the Buddha. Fortunately, the coachman was confused when he saw Bai Qi and explained to him. It turns out that most people go to the monastery today. Even so, there are still so many people in Pu Guanze that Bai Qi is surprised. I really don’t know what the most people here are like.
“I want to know what people look like when they are at most. You will know when you come here next month. The famous cast of the Kong family will perform in Liao State, and they want to open a new show. I will start booking tickets now.”
Bai Qi replied: “Can I still get the ticket…”
“Naturally others can’t, but you…” the coachman said, consciously failing to say something, he gave a little laugh, and stopped.
Bai Qi was awe-inspiring, not knowing why the coachman had said this, and glanced at his master.
But seeing the host leaning on the seat of the chair, he didn’t care much about it. Instead, he glanced over with a smile and said, “If you want to see it, I’ll get you a ticket.”
Bai Qi is overjoyed, his heart has turned around. It seems that the friends that the owner made in Tokyo and who still communicate with each other are very identifiable. This time, isn’t the owner here just to attend the wedding of old acquaintances? Maybe it is a high-ranking official, even this person from Pu Guanze, Even with respect to the host. Get a ticket, of course.
“Then…thank you, Master.” Bai Qi said embarrassedly.
The inn was located in the center of Puguanze. The bamboo bear carriage drove outwards and passed the theater. Bai Qi couldn’t help but look at it more.
It’s not far after the theater, but there is a lively scene. Several luxuriously dressed ya Nei looked drunk early in the morning, and surrounded a beautiful woman.
The woman showed impatience, and the maid beside her repeatedly blocked the actions of the ya-nei. The two sides tore the room, attracting many people to watch.
The coachman looked at it and said in surprise: “Whose office is in broad daylight. Niangmao grandson is in broad daylight.” He turned around and explained, “Lady grandson is performing on the stage in our Youyuan. She is a famous vocalist in Beijing. I don’t know why the security department hasn’t come yet.”
At this time, the maidservant was pushed hard by the government officials, hit the carriage, and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the horse was not surprised.
Seeing that the maidservant was nearly injured, the grandson hurriedly came to help her. The government officials stopped her and said aggressively: “Did we say to let you go?”
The grandson was anxious and scolded: “Shameless! You are still too educated, the students of Kaifeng Fu, why are you so mean! Have you read it in the belly of a dog on weekdays? It’s really insulting to be gentle!”
Others saw it, isn’t it? In these yamen, three of them are not wearing shirts, two of them are wearing Taixue uniforms, and one of them is written by Kaifeng Mansion on the back. Both of these places are well-known schools in Beijing. There are too many students in Taixue, and there are many well-educated scholars in Kaifeng.
Bai Qi knew that Pu Guanze was very protective of the artists on stage, at least in the courtyard, but the defenders did not come over for a while, so he was just watching.
Unexpectedly, when the grandson spoke, the owner who hadn’t even looked at this side with a cold face turned her head and swept slightly, staring at the ya inner in the uniform of Kaifeng Mansion with cold eyes.
The ya Nei seemed to feel something, he inadvertently turned his head, and looked at the owner beside Bai Qi. He immediately became agitated. He woke up seven minutes after drinking. In the event of a scourge, his legs and feet could not help but feel weak.
