Chapter one hundred and forty seventh, the contest of the narrow road

Qin agreed and looked at his mistress with a doting look. In the years when only they were their companions, his wives and concubines undoubtedly became closer and closer to their grandparents and grandchildren.

.....

This is the only grand gathering in Nanxing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chamber of Commerce will be waiting directly for the autumn and winter. The autumn and winter chambers of commerce will be mainly business next year, so this is actually the end of the Chamber of Commerce since spring this year.

The wind at the end of July is comfortable. This is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, not the general reference of later generations. The dog days have passed, and even if there is autumn tiger, it will pass. People with poor health wear clothes, and young people like Mrs. Chengpingbo still look graceful in summer clothes.

The horse farm is about thirty miles away from the royal city, so I have to get up early to catch such a grand event. However, this year, the aristocratic families have come in full. His Royal Highness King Jin defeated King Lu after the Chinese New Year. Many people are still worried. The victory after getting engaged to the Xi family is a great victory recognized by everyone, without any worries.

For example, celebrating real peace for Nanxing, or catching up with this bustle, the aristocratic families went to Longmen Trading Company a few days in advance to book houses. The chamber of commerce lasted for seven to ten days, depending on the number and time of the heroes coming. I believe no one would be willing to go back and forth for sixty miles every day.

The Longmen Trading Company cleaned up the idle houses in the horse farm early and built a batch of simple ones according to the location, which would be convenient for demolition after the chamber of commerce, and then set up tents in batches. These would not be there after the chamber of commerce ended, so as not to affect the area of ​​the grassland.

Several high platforms were built, and all the heroes from Longmen Trading Company came forward together, and then invited famous heroes living in Nanxing, and even the yamen came forward to maintain it.

King Liang Ren of Jin gave absolute support. This hero conference seemed to have made a name for making friends with Longmen Trading Company, but in fact, it exposed the new heroes who came to Nanxing one by one, making it more convenient for the government to manage.

He dared not sign up for the heroes who caused the incident again, and it was hard to guess the thought. Whether it was life or death, it was best to maintain public order when arresting, and the yamen runners were very comfortable to do things.

When Mrs. Chengpingbo's carriage arrived, she saw the strong soldiers stationed in a mile and were so beautiful under the veil.

The contrast between good public security and bad public security is often the shock of life nature. When Lao Hong was there, even if there were many guards and carriages, he would not dare to get up early and leave the city thirty miles in the dark.

The contrast between being protected by Your Highness and not being protected by Your Highness is also different from the same level. Mrs. Bo made a secret wish, hoping that the princess would be a good match for her. She would not look down on her own grocery store girl, and she would not look down on a woman without a husband.

The sound of horse hooves came, and several carriages galloped over behind them. A word "Fan" could be seen on the body of the car. He opened the curtain and peeked at Mrs. Bo outside. In the gossip brought back by the housekeepers, Mrs. Fan repeatedly belittled her.

People understand day by day, and life is the best teacher. Mrs. Chengping Bo now knows that when she travels in a carriage with a sign of Bo's Mansion, except for the King of Jin's Mansion, other families will make way for her.

In fact, this is not Madam Bo, nor is it even following Ping Bo, but it is the rules of the court of this dynasty.

The title was determined by the court. Chengpingbo stood at the earl's position with his own strength and then helped his little wife up.

Not long ago, on the journey from Bo’s mansion and after leaving the city, all the carriages passing by were dodged to the side. The fast carriage slowed down. Mrs. Chengping Bo’s carriage remained unchanged at its original speed, and is now the first place you can see on the official road.

When the Fan family's carriage came out, she was ranked second now.

Mrs. Chengping lost the interest of seeing Huang Ju Yeshi, and threw down the curtain of the car and was sulking in secret. She did not wear a veil in Mali. After seeing it, Qin looked out of the car. When he saw it, he immediately understood when he saw the rear of the car in front. He said lightly: "The Fan family, the old prince, the old prince, had no future when he was there. There was a Qiu family that could not look up since the uncle. In those years, the Qiu family and the old prince, the whole family were uprooted. They died when they entered Beijing. The prince arrived. The prince often came back and smiled. It was then that time that I knew that there was the Fan family in Nanxing."

The old concubine was already out of favor at that time. She and another old aunt, Mrs. Luo, were good at serving soup and snacks. She saw the Fan family when she said that it was because the Fan family visited the Lin family at that time. The girls came to him: "Aunt Qin, give me snacks."

"Which customer is it? Today, the customer is busy." Customers who can make Qin's snacks are often valued by Cheng Pingbo.

"I don't know either. One of them was named Fan and said he was from Nanxing."

Qin and Luo muttered: "There are people with the surname Fan in Nanxing? I heard it again for the first time."

Mrs. Fan installed in the carriage and could not see Mrs. Bo's carriage. When the coachman overwhelmed, the old concubine Qin also looked down on her. This is the recognized vision of everyone's maids. It is also the saying that the prime minister's rank is the official, which is the specific rank, which is the seventh rank, and the third rank, which is even more despised by Mrs. Fan.

Who knew this small family that had only emerged in the hands of His Highness King Jin? In the past, Nanxingxingwang family, who knew your family?

When the old concubine said this, she would not think about it. At that time, Mr. Lin was not attracted by the green eyes, and was gradually rejected by the Xingfeng family. If she did not leave the inner house, the Fan family would not know that if she had a little reputation, she could conclude that if the Fan family was a family like the Guo family who had girls entering the Hong Prince's Mansion all year round, the inner house would have been famous.

She concluded that the Fan family was nothing, because there was another reason to show off. The prosperous family during the Lao Hong period was empty. Nine out of ten families were left. Either the elders followed Lao Hong into the capital, either they were killed or were still in prison, or their children escaped like Guo Yuren. If they were not found by Liang Ren, they would still be hiding.

The Lin family has made a name for the Fan family has also made it, and the Qiao family has made it. If it were the past, it would be nothing.

Qin Shi curled her lips and told Dong Qiao behind her: "Let the coachman get over her car, when will it be her turn to be rampant!"

She is a person who does not cause trouble. She can only settle down with Luo when she was in the period when Bo Ji's concubine was competing for favor. But now Bo is gone, and the housekeeper is not convenient for him to ask for anger. The old concubine comes forward blatantly, and she can't tolerate others who look down on her young mistress.

This is the dignity of the Bo Mansion, how can we give in?

"yes."

Dong Qiao promised to sing it.

"No need for now. This official road is inducing idleness, and it is noisy to prevent us from relaxing," Mrs. Chengpingbo said to stop her. The old concubine protected her like this. Her little temper disappeared and she smiled and said, "When I go to the place, I won't be honest. I'll say that I'll find someone wrong after going out, it's like I'm picking my eyes."

"It's always good to calm down." Qin nodded, and the mistress told her that she was the first to follow, set an example at home, and be proud of the mistress outside.

After a moment, he scolded the distant relatives of the Lin family in his stomach. They were all unscrupulous people, and their eyes were still shallow. If there was a tactful man Ding diligently serving the mansion, he could ask him to go to the Fan family to ask. Alas, these unscrupulous people, you want money, do you have no money?

In such a dynasty, it is difficult to support the family without a male family. Mrs. Chengpingbo is already the best among the discerning people. While Qin was proud of her, she rekindled her thoughts. If the wife had a caring child, even a girl, she could still recruit a capable son-in-law, and there would be a male family.

When Mrs. Chengpingbo was excited to look outside the car again, Qin continued his thoughts silently. A large area of ​​vast grassland appeared in front of him. The wild chrysanthemums in autumn occupied their sight. The wind blew the thick grass like a carpet. Mrs. Chengpingbo smiled happily: "Ha! Auntie, look, there are so many flowers."

There are flowers at home, and the fun of wild flowers is different from that at home, not to mention the vast world and the wide-mindedness. Before the carriage stopped, wives and concubines watched with relish.

Tu Jushan, the big shopkeeper, welcomed him with two shopkeepers, both of whom were famous in the world. One was named Tie Suanzi Mao Tong. He used an iron abacus and was good at doing business. Abacus was also his weapon. The other was named Lidi Xiong Dijin. As the name suggests, people stood there, burly like a bear standing upright. This man is famous for his great strength and specialized in practicing mountain moving fist. Once, the bodyguard met a robber of a hundred people and directly carried a carriage that was loaded with supplies for the corpses. It was filled with water and jerky meat, and he smashed out five cars in one go. The robbers of a hundred people were too concentrated, and the carriage rolled over and over, and each carriage smashed more than a dozen people. More than half of the robbers had no ability to fight, and the rest fled.

The best seats are left for the King of Jin. If Liang Ren does not come to such an important gathering, officials and housekeepers of the King of the King of the Palace will come. The second is Chengping Bo Mansion. The following are the families of the aristocratic families who are senior, and their vision may not necessarily cover all the high platforms. The main ones can be seen clearly.

Mrs. Bo looked at the female family in the cuisine on the high platform. This was a kind of fun that everyone loved. After the female family arrived, they did not go into the house first but sat down to enjoy the wild chrysanthemums. The Fan family was in sight. Mrs. Bo smiled slightly and said, "Take me to the residence first."

"Yes, our Manager Mao, Manager Di is here to accompany you. Please forgive me. Mrs. Bo. There are many people coming here today."

"Don't bother the big shopkeeper, you go and do your business."

The residence is also the second second house in the King of Jin's Mansion. The second shopkeeper of the supervisor of the horse farm gave it out. He ran to live in the tent. The aristocratic families moved in. The wives and concubines sat down to drink a bowl of lung moistening soup, changed their clothes, and they were still blue veils and dark blue robes. Accompanied by Mao Tong and Di Jin, they came up to the seats. The female members passing by along the way saluted one after another. Mrs. Bo was in front of the seat of the Fan family, and the passage was about three or four steps away from the seat. She stopped. The dark blue veil was facing Mrs. Fan sitting upright, and her faint eyes were placed on her face through the veil.

Mrs. Fan's face turned pale with a strong look.

The arrangement of the platform is the passageway in front and back of the seats. Men are not afraid of people watching them. They walk through the passageway in front of the seats in a big way. Women often walk through the passageway behind the seats, so that they will not say hello to the passing seats frequently. In addition, they don’t have to worry about drinking too much tea and eating too much fruit and going there a few more times.

The man can be generous: "If there is too much tea, I will come here conveniently." The woman can't say that the design of these two channels has always been like this, and it is a routine and thoughtful way to hold a chamber of commerce.

Mrs. Chengpingbo can walk from behind the passage so as to avoid men and women who have a seat to get up and greet them, and then sit back again and put them in the same upright position as the sitting position. This is a kind of consideration.

She refused to be considerate, but walked from the front of the passage, which was obviously to trouble others. Mrs. Fan, who overtook the car, knew it clearly. She sat with a high spirit, thinking that she was a rock that lasted forever. I stood up to the sky and ignored you.

Mrs. Bo looked at her quietly. Her arrival caused too much noise and no one didn't stand up. Then she lowered her private comments, talking about her and the Fan family.

She refused to accept the tricks that Madam Mao Taizai had made to deal with Mrs. Fan, and Madam Bo did not force her. She stood there and took her majestic maid and the guards and the ward. Everyone knew that Madam Bo would not have less than fifty people to serve her whenever she left the city.

The prince’s house was the butler Liang Wen and Liang Wu. They were close to Mrs. Bo’s seat, who had already stood up and smiled, waiting to meet Mrs. Bo.

Mrs. Fan, who was blocked by fifty people, could not see Liang Wen and Liang Wu treat each other with courtesy. She was so angry that she tightened the armrests of the chair, otherwise she would lose her composure.

"snort!"

The old concubine Qin, who was deliberately backward, sneered at her, as if gunpowder was ready to fire the fuse. Mrs. Fan jumped up and kicked a piece of the trouser under the corner of her skirt, causing the nearby women to gasp.

When there was any pause or any turn, Mrs. Fan looked as if she had a blue face and didn't look at it, she knew that it was Mrs. Bo who stopped and turned back. At this time, Mrs. Fan realized the seriousness. It was a public place, and there was no benefit in confronting the Countess.

Officials have various experiences about civilians from a long time, such as poor family members, when the owner loses his identity, the mothers in charge of the business will deal with it, and the same is true for the people in the market. No official will be discussed by a man who is accustomed to the carriage and talk to each other face to face. A famous post is sent to the yamen, and the official will be sent to the yamen to deal with it.

This girl from a grocery store, she still has a noble status and is not good at reading, which angers her to scold her in the market. In the public eye, Mrs. Fan, who claims to be a noble family, has to abide by the rules and etiquette, although she did not just now.

Mrs. Fan pressed herself to sit back, her figure filling it like an inappropriate gap above and below. The gap might be smaller, and the filler might be larger, so she stuffed herself into the wide seat inch by inch.

Qin left, and it was obvious that Mrs. Bo did not really come back. Mrs. Fan's ears were buzzing, and her eyes were filled with stars. She was so angry that she passed her concubines in her mind. She wished she could call her to her face one by one and scold her, so that they could understand that her concubines could not be on the Taiwan market!

But she didn't have a concubine around her. In such a lively scene, Mrs. Fan was willing to take her concubine out for fun. She couldn't leave the second door, so she could stay in the room honestly.

There is no place to vent, Mrs. Fan stiffened her body, forgot that she came out for fun, forgot that she liked to show her dignity and prestige in front of others, forgot where she was, and forgot who her name was, she only knew that she had lost her big ugly and lost her master. She hated the girl in the grocery store, how could you let me lose this master!

Of course, she repeatedly belittled Mrs. Chengpingbo, who had almost never met several times behind her back, and she couldn't remember it now.
