MTL - Happiness Consist in Contentment-Chapter 4

This is so good!

If everyone lived soberly and calmly, and looked at the people and things around them rationally, would the world be less hurt and more warm and loving?

However, Liu Fang thought: The world probably cannot see through it. And people, most of them are too long to look forward to Shu, their desires are overwhelming, and they are always bewitched by their own greed, which will lead to all misfortunes.

Most of the people who are sober and calm actually live a very painful life. Because, there are too many things in the world for these people to compromise, and when they compromise, these people will forget their own sobriety and calmness.

Alas~ everything is like this, why do you have to force it? How can it be forced?

I only hope that in this world, there will be fewer things that are forced to compromise, and more sober and calm people.

In autumn, the capital began to blow with cold wind. Liu Fang has always been afraid of the cold. Even though she began to practice martial arts and strengthen her body since childhood, she still felt that she was "afraid of the cold". It's a psychological feeling, not necessarily a physical one.

Therefore, she put on a thin padded jacket early, and her cloak was always ready.

On this day, the eldest sister's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhen Guogong, invited her mother to go to the suburbs for incense. Mrs. Liu Guogong naturally brought Liu Fang with her, while the seventeenth sister, An He, stayed at home to embroider the dowry and hadn't gone out for several months. Unable to wait, he also coquettishly wanted to go together.

Mrs. Guo had no choice but to roll her eyes and agreed in a sullen mood, and kept saying, "Go, go, have enough fun, when you get married and have children, you don't have to play if you want to play. "

She was so frightened that Sister Seventeen almost wanted to regret her marriage, which made Liu Fang burst into laughter.

On the day of entering the incense, and starting early in the morning, Liu Fang was naturally fully armed and prepared properly, and the lady of the country was not worried at all.

When it was An He's turn, as long as the demeanor didn't need the rhythm of the temperature, and she was wearing a flowing tulle skirt, Mrs. Guo felt cold when she saw it, and almost stepped forward and slapped her.

There was no other way, An He could only go back and change into a normal autumn skirt in grievance, and then he could go out.

Liu Fang: ...why is this necessary? ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

Mrs. Liu Guogong took a car by herself, and every girl in the house, the son, had at least two cars ready when he went out, and he could take any car.

But An He had to squeeze with Liu Fang, so the two of them sat in one car.

Followed by several carriages with items for going out, as well as the waitresses

The carriage was huge and mighty, followed by a team of guards.

The Duke is a first-rank title. Although it is not as good as the super-first-rank prince, he still has a guard of honor within the regulations. There are also 500 guards.

In addition, the Guogong's mansion is in the imperial city, and there are imperial guards guarding it. The guards of the Guogong's mansion are patrolling the safety of the mansion on weekdays, and follow the protection of the masters when they travel. There are really not many times when you really need to work hard.

The imperial city of the Jin Dynasty was not the same as what Liu Fang knew in his previous life.

The imperial city here is actually the place where the founding fathers, noble families, and royal clans lived. There are various mansions in it, and only the top wealthy families of the Jin Dynasty can live in them.

The size of the imperial city was something that Liu Fang had never seen before. At least, from her point of view, a city as big in ancient times can already be used as a real city, the capital of a country.

But here, such a large imperial city is only inhabited by those noble families, and most of it is still empty, which is really a waste.

However, the emperors of the Jin Dynasty were not stupid to the end, the imperial city was big, and the palace city was also big. Up to now, neither of the two emperors liked Na Fei. There are not enough women, and there are not many sons and daughters. As a result, whether it is the palace city or the imperial city, they are all dissatisfied.

Therefore, in order not to let those mansions left in the previous dynasty, the palace was abandoned, and in order to save the expenses of repairing these houses.

The emperors of the Jin Dynasty liked to rent the empty palaces and houses in the imperial city to wealthy merchants to hold banquets, or to open a part of them to the common people to visit.

In this way, the income is enough to maintain and repair the palace city and the empty houses in these imperial cities, and it can also allow the common people to see the rich and noble style of the palace city.

After leaving the imperial city, it is the lively inner city, and passing through the inner city is the outer city with the most people.

This city after another, when combined, is the entire capital, and there are a large area of ​​forest villages and towns in the suburbs of Beijing. The capital of the Jin Dynasty is no less than the capital where Liu Fang lived in his previous life.

In the previous life, there were nearly 10 million people living in the capital, but the current capital of the Jin Dynasty has only about 3 million people, which is really vast and sparsely populated!

Therefore, no matter the outer city, the inner city, or the imperial city in the capital, the streets are very wide, and the houses and shops are very neat and well-proportioned. The only difference is that the houses in the imperial city are very large, the houses in the inner city are big and small, and in the outer city, there are many small houses and few big houses.

But the serious courtyard house that you enter is the most basic, and the largest is also half of the Guogong's mansion.

In short, buying a house in the Jin Dynasty is more cost-effective than buying a house in modern times, at least it covers a large area and there is no public share. The house is spacious enough to live in!

Of course, there is no need to talk about the kind of ten or twenty people crowded into one yard as soon as they enter the courtyard. It is the same as the modern ten people crowded in a house with two bedrooms and one living room. There are not enough houses and there are too many people.

The normal living area, that is, ancient times surpassed modern times, no matter which time and space are the same.

This is not the first time Liu Fang has seen the prosperity of the streets of the Jin Dynasty, but every time she sees it, she will sigh in her heart: if she was like this in her previous life, the population hadn't exploded, and she wouldn't have to fight for a house in Jijiying camp until she died of overwork. .

However, a large population also has the advantages of a large population, and a small population also has the disadvantages of a small population. In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is impossible.

The wheel of history is always moving forward, and the power of the individual is too small in the face of the general trend of history. The only thing she can do is to live her own life well and live a stable and worry-free life, so she has no regrets.

Of course, if possible, she will also be a person who contributes to the world, provided that she is capable enough.

Now, she can still be her little girl with peace of mind, and she will be a good wife and mother in the future.

As an older sister, An He was the most restless. For a while, he let the maid go to buy snacks, and then pointed to the cloth village and chatted with Liu Fang about the new fabrics. He was never quiet along the way. I want to poison her.

It's so noisy!

There are several Buddhist temples in the suburbs of Beijing. The most famous one is Anguo Temple. As the name suggests, this is the national temple of the Great Jin Dynasty. Because the royal family name is An, and the eldest brother of Jin Yuandi became a monk here, it got its name.

Therefore, the incense here is the most prosperous, and it only entertains noble families, royal clans and other officials and eunuchs. More is enough.

In this way, over time, Anguo Temple has become a place where large families specialize in offering incense to the Buddha, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.

However, there is still a market at the foot of the mountain where people gather, selling food, drink and incense candles.

Anguo Temple is not very far from the capital, the carriage can speed up as soon as it leaves the city, but it takes more than half an hour to reach the foot of Anguo Temple.

There is a spacious road dedicated to going up the mountain, and the carriage drives directly up the mountain, at the entrance of the temple.

Stop, there is a spacious square to park the carriage, and there are monks who guard the carriage.

Liu Fang and his party were sitting in the carriage preparing to go up the mountain. Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, causing Liu Fang, An He, Shu Mo, and Xiang Ting, who were unprepared, to collide into a ball.

"Ouch! It hurts to death!"

An He covered his forehead, Xiang Ting and Shu Mo also supported each other, each covering his forehead.

Liu Fang responded quickly, but it was okay to grab the carriage with both hands, and she didn't bump into it.

Seeing that An He's forehead was swollen, she quickly stabilized herself and asked, "Sister Seventeen, are you all right?"

"Dizzy, my forehead hurts." An He's eyes were red with grievance, he looked at Liu Fang with tears in his eyes, and said with a flat mouth, "It hurts..."

Liu Fang: ...Okay, it's normal for my sister to be in pain when she bumped into a baby.

Seeing that the car had stopped, Liu Fang let go of her hand, shifted her body, sat beside An He, hugged her, and whispered to her forehead: "Okay, Sister Seventeen, it doesn't hurt anymore. Xiangting, Bring some ointment and apply it to Sister Seventeen, and by the way, you and Shu Mo also apply it."

"Well, eighteen girls, the slaves are going now."

The ointment was still on the carriage at the back. Apart from the tea and snacks, An He bought the snacks along the way, and there was no medicine.

Seeing that Xiangting got out of the carriage to get the medicine, An He's mouth was flat, she didn't cry, she held back her tears, and leaned against Liu Fang aggrievedly: "Xiao Anfang, please give me another whistle, It still hurts..."

Liu Fang: What can I do? ╮(ω)╭ can only continue. ah~

After a while, Xiang Ting brought the medicine over, smeared it on An He, and smeared the medicine with Shu Mo, and then said: "The slave girl asked just now, saying that the carriage in front of you hit someone, so I'm tired. Here we are."

Liu Fang thought the same. I just don't know which one is in front of it, and who is the one who bumped into it.

After a tossing, probably the front has been dealt with, and the carriage began to move forward again, which would have slowed down a lot.

When Liu Fang and the others passed by the scene of the incident, they saw a woman kneeling on the ground covered in blood on the side of the road, surrounded by a circle of people dressed in the same clothes, probably the servants of some family.

The woman was sobbing, so pitiful, the servants who surrounded her rolled their eyes impatiently, and they were all big and three thick, with a fierce look on their faces. When others saw it, they couldn't help but think: Is this bullying?

An He was covering his head with a handkerchief. He glanced through the gauze of the car window and ignored it, but Liu Fang twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at the sky speechlessly: Does this woman think everyone else is stupid?

son?

I just heard that the woman was still sobbing and said, "You, you, the people from the county master's mansion, can't bully the commoners like this, right? The little girl was hit, can't you ask for justice?"

At this time, a group of scholars happened to be going up the mountain, and they all stopped when they heard what the woman said, and one of them said angrily to the group of servants: "It's abominable, what kind of county master is so lawless, to do this kind of cruelty to the good people in broad daylight. What happened? Is there any more king law?"

servant:…

what did they say? what did they do? Harm the good people? !

One person rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said: "This son, my master told this girl in a good voice, go to the hospital to see the injury first, and my master will naturally pay for the expenses. As for this As for what the girl said about being bumped, the right and wrong of it will naturally be judged by the Jingzhao House, so my master is not afraid.

Besides, in the public eye, everyone saw that it was this girl who rammed into my master's carriage, not my master's carriage on purpose.

Young Master, if you don't know, don't make false statements, otherwise, the title of my family's master, the county master, is not good-looking.

It's more than enough to sue you, don't you think? "

The scholar was blushing, and only replied sternly, "Only your side of the word, who knows the truth?"

The other scholars glanced at him and turned their heads silently. One of them took a step back quietly and was about to turn away, but was seen by the woman and shouted loudly.

"Young master, please check carefully. The little girl didn't mean to hit the county master's carriage. It was because the carriage was so fast that the little girl couldn't react in time. Please help the little girl!"

The scholar stared at by the woman: ...? ?

Everyone present looked at him collectively:…

Immediately, the scene quieted down for a while.
