Zhuozhou was still guarded by the Ming army.The Dashun army went north from Zhenxiang and did not go to Zhuozhou.Even so, people in Zhuozhou City are also flustered, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.Many wealthy families were worried about packing up their gold and silver, and were ready to flee the place at any time.The city gate of Zhuozhou was not closed, and there were no soldiers guarding the gate, only a few military flags of the Ming Dynasty were planted on the head of the city, fluttering listlessly.It seems that this Zhuozhou government has either fled a long time ago, or is waiting for the Shun army to come to receive it, and has no intention of resisting.Wang Shuo and the others were afraid that they would not be able to reach before Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, so they tried to rush forward as much as possible when they were good on the road, and they were very tired when they arrived in Zhuozhou, so they had to stay overnight first, and then enter Beijing on the second day.Lu Xiaoyu followed his father to come here, and he was very familiar with it, so he led everyone to live at the Laisheng Inn at the south end of the cross street in the city.This is the largest and best inn in Zhuozhou.The soldiers are in chaos, there are basically no guests in the inn, and it is deserted.When the shopkeeper saw such a large number of people, he thought that the army had arrived, and he was shocked.I heard that the merchant who went to Beijing wanted to stay in the store, and he gave the money first, so he couldn't help but smile and told the shopkeeper to go to Zhangluo quickly.Lu Xiaoyu asked for two upstairs upper rooms for her and Wang Shuo to live in, and the rest of the guards lived in the large downstairs room, a room for several people, almost filling the downstairs of this inn.In the evening, I asked for a few tables of wine and food in the hall downstairs, and everyone ate together.The food in Zhuozhou is already very different from that in the northwest, and the accents of the people are completely different, and it has become difficult to communicate with each other.Lu Xiaoyu can speak Beijing Mandarin, and Wang Shuo was greatly surprised by a mouthful of Beijing films.She chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, and the boss went to prepare the meal.After a while, the food came up, vinegared cabbage, braised donkey meat, and grilled chicken from Texas Mansion, braised lion's head.I haven't eaten these Wang Shuo for more than a year.Moreover, there is also the donkey meat of Hejian Mansion, which is what Wang Shuo often eats in modern restaurants, and he has a major relationship tied to him, and Wang Shuo is there, and the guards dare not drink.It is not taboo to eat, a table of food is swept away in the blink of an eye, the donkey meat is not eaten quickly, and finally twenty dry noodle pancakes are served, these people are considered full, and the shopkeeper is dumbfounded.Wang Shuo also made these guys feel distressed, twenty taels of silver for a dinner is not enough for this has not yet arrived in Beijing, things are so expensive twenty taels of silver, an ordinary farmer can't spend a year Lu Xiaoyu told him, in this world, the gap between the rich and the poor, that is, the poor people suffer, and the rich people who do business in the city are fat.It seems that her great general is also a roe deer who has never seen the world.She told him that Gyeonggi was not rich, and that the Jianghuai region in the south was richer, so she told him a story about a big salt merchant who was a vassal and elegant, and spent 3,000 taels of silver to see the famous prostitute Liu on the Qinhuai River.As a result, Liu Ru thought he was vulgar, and without saying a word, he knocked him down from his embroidery building.The salt merchant was not only not annoyed, but also said that it was worth it, Liu Ru is Wang Shuo had the impression, a talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, a generation of famous prostitutes, just a piece of work she handed down is worth hundreds of thousands, isn't she married to Qian Qianyi Thinking about it, maybe this woman is still young now, and she hasn't met the old man Qian, can she not tell it in a prophetic way Lu Xiaoyu saw Wang Shuo in a trance, thinking that he probably didn't know who Liu Ru was, and his story was told in vain.This general, with a white face and a talent, is placed on the Qinhuai River, no less than Pan An's reincarnation, Lu Bu was reborn, I don't know how many beauties I want to fascinate It's a pity, this general doesn't know anything except fighting.Look at the articles he wrote, the handwriting is crooked, most of them are vernacular, it's a pity that this skin Wang Shuo If you know what Lu Xiaoyu thinks in her heart, you have to be angry, but you have a bachelor's degree, you can go to astronomy, know geography, yin and yang gossip, and you can't write well with a fine brush.He and Lu Xiaoyu also went upstairs to their respective rooms to rest.The shopkeeper called hot water and made tea for the two upstairs rooms.can spend twenty taels of silver for a meal, which is also considered a large family, and the shopkeeper is naturally very attentive.Wang Shuo thought on the road that the current Beijing must be very different from the Beijing he was familiar with, which can be seen from the map Hu Lianqi drew for him.Lu Xiaoyu is familiar with the current Beijing, and it is best for him to take her around the city of Beijing, and meet the imperial histories written by Hu Lianqi in the booklet, Lang Guan, to see if there is anything else in it besides poetry and songs.Along the way, Lu Xiaoyu was sensible and obedient, and did not play the temper of the eldest lady like in Xining, Wang Shuo got along with her, and no longer deliberately avoided her.Since you want to take Lu Xiaoyu to visit the officials, you have to have a set of rhetoric.Wang Shuo thought that he had to design a story, and the two of them had to have an identity, so that they wouldn't leak their mouths when the time came.Thinking of this, he knocked on Lu Xiaoyu's door and asked her to come to his room.Wang Shuo naturally doesn't care about men and women talking together in modern times.By the end of the Ming Dynasty, he dominated one side and implemented a policy of equality between men and women, so naturally there would be no concept of men and women not giving and receiving.Lu Xiaoyu knew that he would marry him in the future, so naturally he didn't pay attention to these.Liang Min didn't dare to tell her that Wang Shuo did not agree to this marriage, for fear that she would not be able to accept it.asked her to follow Wang Shuo to Beijing, naturally she wanted to match them.Lu Xiaoyu didn't know this, thinking that her father had left her will, and she was "unmarried and obeyed her father", of course, she was really tempted by this general.And the general has a great friendship with her father, so naturally he will not refuse.This matter was already ironclad in her heart.Two people think about their own things, full of twisting.Wang Shuo invited Lu Xiaoyu to his room and told him what he thought.Then he said: "This land of Gyeonggi is naturally extraordinary.I'm afraid it's not appropriate to run around with so many people after entering the city.I think, you are still dressed as a woman, we might as well be called brothers, only bring a few people to follow secretly, and the rest of the people, etc., don't bring them all.In this way, it will not expose its tracks, but it will be convenient to walk, I don't know what you think" Lu Xiaoyu thought about it: "When I went to Beijing with my father to do business, I looked for strange Beijing officials, and I went to Xishan to find people to introduce on my behalf.On the west mountain outside the capital, there are often people who claim to be detached and live in seclusion.These people are pretentious and reluctant to enter the ranks, but they often have close friendships with Gyeonggi officials.I might as well go and make friends with these people, bribe, and they will introduce the general to meet the person he wants to see, and maybe it will be half the effect. ”Ah, there are wise men living in seclusion on the western mountain, why didn't you say it was great earlier, it really didn't take much effort to come:
