Monument Yangmen

Chapter 260 Who is the Noble Man?

"Golden Flower, don't act recklessly."

Yang Yanding followed Geng Jinhua to persuade him.

Geng Jinhua ignored it, and after entering the city, she felt fresh about everything in the city, and dragged Zhao Di to ask questions.

"Why do people here walk along both sides of the street...why don't you see dirty things on the streets here...why do those children run to the east of the city with cloth bags on their backs..."

Zhao Di was beside Geng Jinhua, patiently explaining to her.

"Returning to General Geng's words, people in the city walk along both sides of the street in order to leave an open space in the middle for the carriages of mules and horses to walk, so as to prevent the carriages of mules and horses from hitting people.

There is no dirty debris on the street because there is a shelter for dirty debris every 200 meters on the street, and there are also public toilets.

The crotch-shoulder cloth bag on the back of the children is called a schoolbag. There is an academy in the east of the city, and the children go to study in the east of the city. "

In addition to these, Geng Jinhua also found scattered shops on the street. She walked to a shop in front of her and pointed at the cake inside in surprise.

"The birthday cake shop made by the seventh brother is also here."

While talking, an old woman came out of the shop with her hair in a bun and a skirt around her waist, followed by a timid female doll with a snot in her nose.

The old woman carefully wiped the snot of the girl doll, patted her buttocks, let her go to play, washed her hands, and entertained the guests.

"Guest officer, what do you want?"

Seeing Geng Jinhua wearing a mask, the old woman felt a little timid, but after seeing the patrolling soldiers on the street, she strengthened her courage and went forward.

Hearing the old woman's accent, pure Song accent, Geng Jinhua was a little surprised.

"Are you always from Song Dynasty?"

The old woman was taken aback, then grinned and said, "Old woman, I used to be from Song Dynasty, but now I am from Miza."

Yang Yanding interjected behind Geng Jinhua, "Why did you abandon your Song nationality?"

When the old woman heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she took a wary look at Yang Yanding.

"You were the first one to ask this question after the old lady arrived in Miza City. From your accent, you are from Song Dynasty. What did you come to Miza City for?"

Geng Jinhua glared at Yang Yanding, and said to the old woman with a smile on her face: "Don't blame me, old aunt. When I first arrived here, I don't know the folk customs here. Please forgive me for being presumptuous."

The old woman raised her eyebrows, gave Yang Yanding a sideways glance, and then smiled at Geng Jinhua: "You are still a sensible girl. Since the guest officer asked the old woman why she abandoned her Song Dynasty identity, the old woman will answer you."

While talking, the old lady looked at the birthday cakes in her shop.

Geng Jinhua understood, and said with a loud smile: "Trouble old aunt, give each of us a piece."

The old lady was immediately happy, and quickly prepared a piece of birthday cake for each of the three, and invited the three of them to enter the shop and sit down.

There are three low tables in the shop, which are specially prepared for the guests to eat.

After asking the three to sit down, the old woman held a birthday cake the size of a fist and placed it in front of the three of them.

He took the towel, dusted the table and chairs, and sat down in front of the three of them.

"There are no other guests at the moment, so the old lady will chat with you."

The old woman pointed at Yang Yanding, "The guest officer just asked why the old woman abandoned her identity as a Song person. The old woman will answer you now. The old woman has never abandoned her identity as a Song person. When the Song Dynasty was founded, the old woman's family consisted of six people. The days barely pass.

Later, his grandfather was conscripted as a civilian husband and died on the way to the Northern Expedition.His son was also conscripted into the army and died in Liaodong.

The old woman and daughter-in-law are left, dragging their grandchildren too far.

Plant some food on weekdays, and pay taxes to the government.We orphans and widows depend on this wild vegetable bark for a living.

There was a famine the year before last, and we didn't even have the bark of wild vegetables to eat.Most of the people in the village fell into grass.

There is no man in our family, and no one wants the grass. "

Yang Yanding hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since there is a famine, the government should distribute food and grass for relief. It is not necessary to go to the grass..."

"Food for relief?"

The old woman shook her head and said with a sneer, "The grain and grass for the relief came out of Beijing and was exploited layer by layer. In the hands of us ordinary people, there is nothing left."

"How did you survive? Why did you come to Jiaozhi again?"

Geng Jinhua asked.

The old woman laughed miserably, "Why don't you ask the old woman where her daughter-in-law is going?"

"Um~"

For a moment, both Geng Jinhua and Yang Yanding were silent.

They can't ask, and they dare not ask.Even if he guessed something, he didn't dare to ask.

The old woman's face was a bit hideous, "It's not that the old woman abandoned her identity as a Song person, she is an official, and she doesn't treat us ordinary people as adults at all."

"If it wasn't for the team that came to Miza City, maybe the old woman would have gone with her daughter-in-law."

The old woman pointed to Miza City, "Only in this Miza City, the old woman feels that she is living like a human being."

"Here, everyone has a job and everyone has food. The nobles in the city think that the old woman is old and can't do heavy work. He taught the old woman the skills passed down from family.

The old woman's grandson, when he reached the age, went to the academy in the east of the city to study without taking a penny.When the granddaughter of the old woman reaches the age, she will also go to the academy in the east of the city. "

Yang Yanding was puzzled, "What does the doll go to school for?"

The old woman gave Yang Yanding a glance, and shouted: "What's wrong with the girl? In this dense city, within a radius of a hundred miles, there is no distinction between high and low, and there is no distinction between men and women. Girls can go to school just the same. We The city lord is still a woman."

"Here, the old woman feels like a human being."

Yang Yanding pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "In this city, there are Jiaozhi people, Li people, Liao people, and Song people. If they live together, won't there be conflicts because of customs?"

"Cochin people? Slang people? Liao people? Song people?"

The old woman smiled and shook her head, "Everyone speaks Chinese accent, passes on Han clothes, and observes Han etiquette. After a hundred years, there will still be Jiaozhi people in this land? Slang people? Liao people And Song people?
At that time, the people on this land will all be Han Chinese.The Han Miao people are serious. "

Yang Yanding was shocked, "Auntie is wise."

The old woman grinned and said, "Old woman, I'm not a wise fart. The real wise are the nobles in charge of the city. These words are all said by the nobles in charge of the city."

"Didn't you just say that there is no distinction between high and low here?"

The old woman stared, "One must have a conscience. To be noble in the city is to give up oneself to be rich, so that ordinary people like us can eat and drink well and live a good life. Even if he doesn't regard himself as noble, we have to respect him as noble." A person like him should live a long life and be a nobleman for the rest of his life."
