Chapter 102: Sun Chengzong
When the old man heard someone laughing, his face suddenly changed.
He climbed up from the puddle with difficulty.
The coachman and several entourages who were accompanying the team came over to help.
When the few laughing and scolding men saw that the old man had so many followers, they realized that the old man's identity was not simple, so they immediately dispersed and disappeared into the rain.
"Mr. Sun should have asked me to lead the way, hey...how could it be..."
This person named Sun Gong is of course Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong was the imperial teacher and then supervised the army in Liaodong for several years.
He really looked down on Wei Zhongxian, but he was in Liaodong and had no choice but to deal with Wei Zhongxian, so he was angry and asked to resign and return home.
Sun Chengzong had a very strong temper. After two years in the village, he had restrained some of his temper. In recent years, the world's bad atmosphere was very disappointed. Until Emperor Tianqi issued a sincere imperial edict and asked him to return to the capital, he hesitated for a day and decided to make a decision.
After all... the emperor was taught by him, and he knew the temper of the Apocalypse.
People are extremely smart and have unique vision.
The disadvantages are also prominent, indecisive, too strong in human feelings, and too easy to trust others.
Sun Chengzong felt that he should stand up and meet Emperor Tianqi first.
But when he arrived at the capital, he found that...he was as bad as he left two years ago.
He felt sad and couldn't help waving his hands in the rain. At this time, his robe was soaked, but he couldn't find a place to change it for a while. He just smiled bitterly: "It was like this when I left Beijing. It has not changed at all in the past two years. Alas... I don't blame you, you don't have to blame me, I blame you for not seeing the road."
After saying that, he asked his entouragers to pull the carriage out of the pit.
Because a escort was stepping on the mud, the mud was still wrapped in the peel of some unknown fruit. When he was pulling, he fell to his mouth and chewed the mud.
Sun Chengzong suddenly burst into laughter at this time. When everyone saw him laughing, they also laughed.
Sun Chengzong went up and helped his companion up, but he was so happy that he said, "Don't blame me, don't blame me."
"Please get on the bus."
"No need to get on the bus." Sun Chengzong said: "It's better to walk when getting on the bus now!"
"It's just...it's raining now..."
Sun Chengzong pointed to his wet clothes and said, "Isn't it wet when sitting in the car? I see that the rain is cleaner than the sewage."
This is the truth.
Everyone was speechless.
Of course, Sun Chengzong also relied on his good health to survive such a difficult environment in Liaodong. He also relied on a good health to survive. He was not idle after returning home and had to eat two kilograms of meat a day. He was not at ease with ordinary young people.
Although he had become a chicken, he continued to walk forward.
The street is winding, after all, the people don’t care about it. Some pile up debris in front of the door, some are garbage piles, and sewage flows out from the piles of garbage along the rain. Even if it rains, the air is still filled with an unpredictable stench.
Occasionally, a few children took out their guns by the wall at the corner of the street and sizzled towards the corner, while sizzling, "It's raining, it's raining."
Sun Chengzong continued to move forward with difficulty, stepping on the mud and rain.
Just as I was about to enter the door of the inner city.
Suddenly, Sun Chengzong looked up at the door, waved his hand, and the entourages who were walking at the rear immediately stopped.
Sun Chengzong stroked his wet beard and said, "You have to be careful when you enter this door. After entering, this is Qingpingfang. This Qingpingfang was worse than the outer city when I left the capital. Everyone should be careful with their luggage and... and don't let the thieves steal it. If my group of people were stolen in the capital, how can they have the face to meet His Majesty?"
Some of these escorts lived in the capital with Sun Chengzong, and some of them were brought from the countryside for the first time.
The first time people came here didn't understand why, and those who had lived in Beijing immediately became alert.
This is definitely not a lie.
There are many military families living in Qingpingfang, and they are all dilapidated military families. This leads to the fact that they live in poverty on the one hand, so the environment they live in is very harsh. On the other hand, they do not have other businesses like ordinary households. Most of them can only idle, so many steal and rob.
Everyone was shocked and then followed Sun Chengzong into the door hole.
But how could I know... As soon as I entered the door, Sun Chengzong was stunned.
At my feet... there is no longer a street full of mud, but a hard rocky road. There is mud on it. The road is quite smooth, not just that... there is almost no muddy place, even fewer puddles.
The streets are very neat. Although there are some low shanty towns, even the shanty towns are clean and clean.
This feeling makes people who have experienced the miserable mud, and they feel relaxed and happy when they step on here.
In addition, all kinds of idle people in the past... are gone.
The pedestrians walked on one side, but they could hardly see a single idle man.
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is this Qingpingfang?"
Sun Chengzong doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place.
The old servant behind him said, "It doesn't look like it. I remember it wasn't like this before, something was wrong. I obviously came in from here, and I was from Qingpingfang."
Sun Chengzong looked around and tried hard to identify it, but he could not find any traces of Qingpingfang in the past.
After all, Sun Chengzong was sure that this place was Qingpingfang, and he just smiled bitterly: "This is how I feel like I have been parting for years. In other places, I always feel like I am the same, but after coming here... I feel that it is different."
For a moment, he sighed.
There was still no pause under my feet and continued to move forward. Suddenly, a group of people wearing straw raincoats came pressing the knife.
Sun Chengzong could already imagine that when such a team of people appeared, it would immediately cause the people along the way to take a detour.
After he passed the Jinshi, he spent many years in the capital.
In the capital, whether it is Shuntian Prefecture, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, or Wucheng Military and Horses, any such people will definitely arouse many people's alertness.
But soon, Sun Chengzong was surprised to find that everyone was indifferent.
These people wearing straw hats and heavy straw raincoats walked along the street in leather boots, trying their best not to occupy the position in the road, but walked along the street.
They were tall and burly, looking full of energy. They pressed the handle of the knife around their waists, and then passed by Sun Chengzong and walked away...
Sun Chengzong was stunned for a long time in the drizzle.
Through the gap between the straw raincoat, he could see that the team of people should be Jinyiwei wearing fish uniforms.
When... the Jinyiwei was so disciplined? This was something that he had never seen in the capital in the past.
The Jinyiwei he had seen before would never come out on such rainy days, and would not line up. Either they would find somewhere to gamble, or even take advantage of the rain, a group of people rushed into a tea shop to drink tea. Of course... the tea money will definitely not be paid, and they would have to collect a tea money before leaving.
When the people see these people, they often have to cover their noses and take a detour from afar. However, the pedestrians along the street seem to have become accustomed to them and pass by them without any strangeness.
"Huh?" Sun Chengzong said curiously: "This place is orderly, but I don't know why?"
The more Sun Chengzong looked, the more surprised he was. He continued to move forward, and further forward, there was a lively market.
The market is shop after shop, which is very lively. Even on rainy days, many people come in the rain.
I saw merchants desperately selling their goods. Some of the pedestrians were just passing by, but most of them were walking around and stopping.
If it is in the East and West City, it will definitely be messy.
But here, although it is noisy, it is still orderly.
Various flags were cast out, including silk, cotton, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice shops, wine shops, teahouses... shouts were heard one after another.
"Master, there is a tea shop there, so you might as well go and change your clothes."
Sun Chengzong nodded.
When everyone entered the newly decorated teahouse, a friend immediately came up.
Good guy, even at this time, there is still a lot of business.
When the guy saw Sun Chengzong's appearance, he said with concern: "Why is the guest officer so wet? Why should I go to the backyard to change into a dry dress."
Sun Chengzong had this intention and nodded, but suddenly looked at the mate and said, "You are a military household in Qingpingfang."
The guy smiled and said, "He is a military family."
"Oh." Sun Chengzong nodded.
After Sun Chengzong changed into clean clothes, he became much more enjoyable. He then sat down on the tea table. The guy came up and asked with a smile: "What do you want to drink at the guest?"
Sun Chengzong said gently: "Hello my entourage and ask them first, I... just take a sip of tea to relieve fatigue."
The guy smiled and nodded, and went there with a familiarity.
After a while, tea came.
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but look at the clerk in surprise and said, "Have the soldiers from Qingpingfang also come out to make a living?"
When the guy heard this, he was amused: "If you don't make a living, what should you eat for a family of snacks?"
“I mean…”
"Oh." The guy understood what Sun Chengzong meant: "It's not considered making a living. I did nothing in the past. However, this year, many merchants came to Qingpingfang and recruited people everywhere. I have hands and feet, but I can't take over the position of my father and brother, so I have to go out here. Although I serve people, I may be able to eat and drink enough, and I can barely support the family and the young. What's wrong with it?"
"This is natural, natural." Sun Chengzong was surprised.
Can a person who runs the hall still eats and drinks enough and can support the elderly and young people?
No wonder some military households flocked to it. He thought about it carefully and found that along the way, there were countless friends, as well as various manpower and foot strength.
