Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 110 Arriving at Bianliang
Earl Ying and his party originally wanted to stay in Caoxian County, Heze, Shandong Province for a while before continuing their journey, but after eating for more than half an hour, the weather suddenly failed.

The originally bright and clear sky turned into overcast clouds in an instant.

The three servants in Cai Jing's house discussed with Earl Ying and decided to stay in Caoxian that night.

Check the weather the next day and decide whether to continue.

The group waited in the rain for more than two hours before entering Caoxian City.

After finding the inn, everyone stayed for a rest, and there was nothing to say that night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky cleared and we continued on our way.

It took more than half a day to finally leave Shandong and arrive in Henan.

Pan Jinlian and Pang Chunmei had never left Shandong in their lives. As soon as they entered Henan, they immediately felt a deep sense of freshness about what they saw in front of them.

Since this was also the first time Earl Ying left Shandong after traveling through time, the expression on his face was the same as that of the two women.

But Li Ping'er was different. She lived in Bianliang City for a period of time.

As we entered Henan, the road began to become less bumpy than the previous two days and became a little smoother.

The three young servants in Cai Jing's mansion rode the carriage and ran wildly all the way.

Since entering Henan, the three young men have become fearless in setting up their horses, not at all as timid as before.

Earl Ying sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and asked loudly: "Brother, how long will it take for us to arrive at Bianliang City?"

I just heard the man say: "I don't know exactly how long it will take."

"Anyway, I can tell you clearly now that we will reach Bianliang City after passing through three cities and eighteen counties."

Earl Ying lowered the curtain, turned around, and Ying'er was lying on his lap.

I saw Li Ping'er counting on her fingers. After a while, the woman looked at Earl Ying and said, "If it's faster, it should be more than three days. If it's slower, it should be five or six days."

Earl Ying shook his head and smiled wryly at Pan Jinlian and Pang Chunmei upon hearing this.

Pan Jinlian stretched out, shook his head and said: "This time, the slave family has been put through a lot of hard work and is very tired. After arriving at Bianliang City, my husband, you have to reward the slave family well."

Pang Chunmei said as if competing for favor: "What big sister said is that after you arrive in Bianliang City, you can't do any work."

The two women felt extremely tired, but how about Earl Ying?

He just said at the moment: "Okay, okay, where to eat and where to stay after arriving in Bianliang City, it is all up to you."

Pan Jinlian and Pang Chunmei looked at each other and smiled.

Since entering Henan, the speed of the car has become much faster, and the road is also smoother in comparison.

In fact, this is mainly because in comparison, Shandong has more mountain roads, while Henan is located in the Central Plains and has many broad roads.

It can be said that all roads lead to Bianliang.

So, after three and a half days, we finally arrived at Bianliang City.

After arriving at Bianliang City, three servants from Cai Jing's mansion drove the carriage into the city.

From the Bianhe River to the market, passing through teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, temples, and finally arriving at the foot of the city tower.

A long custom scroll painting from the late Northern Song Dynasty was immediately unfolded in front of Count Ying.

He was extremely surprised. What he saw in front of him was almost exactly the same as the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that he had seen countless times in his previous life.

Everything in front of me seems to have been directly copied from the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

I saw people repairing big cars, people reading fortunes, and people doing facelifts.

I saw pedestrians rubbing shoulders and the constant flow of people in the market.Along the way, Earl Ying's face was always full of shock. He had never thought that the real Bianliang City turned out to be like this.

After walking through the outer city and entering the inner city, you can already see a little shadow of Cai Jing's mansion in the distance.

Seeing the busy traffic and crowds of people outside the window, Pan Jinlian suddenly got angry and wanted to walk to her destination.

Earl Ying had no choice but to ask the boy to stop the carriage, and the group of people got out of the carriage together.

Earl Ying took Li Ping'er's hand and asked, "Look, is this place still the same as Bianliang City where you were?"

Li Ping'er looked around, nodded and said: "Actually, they are all similar in general, but after all these years have passed, there must still be some similarities."

Earl Ying smiled and said, "Then why don't you say a few words in Bianliang dialect?"

Li Ping'er said something casually, and Earl Ying naturally didn't understand it, but found it very funny.

Since entering Bianliang City, Zhao Xiangzhu has always bowed her head and said nothing. It is not like the previous few days where she would express opinions or express emotions when she saw something.

When Earl Ying saw this, he naturally felt very strange.

So he asked her: "Why did you stop talking suddenly?"

Zhao Xiangzhu carried the soft bag on her shoulders and smiled softly, still lowering her head and saying nothing.

After walking a few miles further, I suddenly saw a group of people driving towards me.

The leader, Earl Ying, looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

As he got closer, the man immediately got off his horse, walked quickly to Earl Ying, bowed and said in a deep voice: "Master Ying has come a long way. My master has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me, Master Ying."

Earl Ying's eyes lit up, he pointed at this person's face and said, "Ah! I remembered that when Mr. Chen took me on a day trip in Qinghe County, you were his entourage!"

The man smiled, cupped his fists and said respectfully: "Master Ying, don't come here without any harm!"

Since Cai Jing sent someone to pick them up, there was no need for him to take care of the two carriages belonging to Earl Ying. Naturally, people sent by Cai Jing would do it for them.

The group of people waited and walked all the way to the back door of Cai Jing's mansion.

There was no plaque on the beam either, Earl Ying thought that he was lucky to have finally arrived at Xu San's residence.

Under the leadership of the people sent by Cai Jing, he saw that Xu San's mansion was really magnificent. The level of magnificence was definitely something he had never seen before in Qinghe County.

When they reached a corner of the courtyard, the leader said loudly: "Master, Master Ying has arrived!"

After a while, Xu San's voice slowly floated out from the door: "I know."

Earl Ying began to feel a little excited. Several months had passed and he was finally reunited with Mr. Chen's subordinate Xu San!

I don’t know what Xu San has become after these few months, whether he is older or not.

When the wives and concubines of the house surrounded Cai Jing and walked out of the room, Cai Jing and Earl Ying looked at each other.

There is something special in each other's hearts.

"Xu San! Long time no see!"

Earl Ying walked over quickly and hugged Cai Jing tightly.

Cai Jing smiled happily and put his hands in the air. He didn't know whether he should hug Earl Ying tightly like Earl Ying.

Except for these wives and concubines, everyone in Cai Jing's house stood aside with their heads lowered.

Cai Jing saw that Earl Ying and his party were living in such a simple manner, so he immediately ordered his maids and servants to lead them into the main hall.
