Chapter 3 Quick, help that old lady cross the road!

Zhao Hao slowly opened all his eyes. This was his first time getting up since time traveling.

The young master was about to get up, and the slaves and maids in the house began to get busy.

Dressing, wearing a hat, washing your face, brushing your teeth, combing your hair, nearly ten people divided the work and worked together, and they were very busy.

Zhao Hao has never been treated like this before, and he is always a teenage girl who is touching her body. Her soft little hands make the bones all over his body crisp. The unique body fragrance of a virgin penetrates his heart and the comfortable mood is so exciting.

But there are also some unpleasant things, such as using noodle soup to wash your face. Looking at the half-basin of steaming white noodle soup in the copper basin, Zhao Hao actually rejected the use of it to wash his face. However, compared to washing his face with noodle soup, Zhao Hao was even more unpleasant because he had to put a peony flower on his head after combing his hair...

Men wear flowers, but they are not very common, and they were occasionally done in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the two Song dynasties became popular. Not to mention the powerful and high-ranking officials in the upper class, the princes and grandsons love to wear flowers when they go out, nor do they say that "four-phans wear flowers with flowers" that was a good story in the Song Dynasty. If you read "Water Margin", you will find that those Liangshan bandits who eat big pieces of meat and divide gold with big scales are also clustered with flowers. The sick passerby, "there are lotus flowers on their temples"; the prodigal son, "the four-season flowers on their temples"; Ruan Xiaowu, "the pomegranate flowers on their temples"; and the executioner, Cai Qing, with a fleshy face, was born to love flowers on their flowers, and his nickname was also directly called "Yizhihua"...

What opened Zhao Hao's eyes was brushing his teeth. In his impression, ancient people should have just rinsed their mouths with tea or salt water, but they didn't expect that in this era there were toothbrushes and toothpastes: toothbrushes were peeled off with good willow branches, and loose wood fibers were like wooden tooth combs, and then dipped in toothpaste made of Poria cocos, which was similar to modern brushing methods, so there was no need to worry about tooth decay.

After finishing his dressing, Zhao Hao stood up slowly and took a good look in front of the bronze mirror.

He is weak, but he is not short, about 1.78 meters tall. Although he is thin, he is still considered a beautiful tree, but he is easy to fall...

At this moment, he was wearing a purple-gold crown with a purple-gold crown on his head, a blue-robed dress, and a silver-widthed piping on his collar and cuffs. He was tied with a wide-edged brocade belt around his waist. He hung a crystal clear and gentle mutton fat jade pendant with five-colored silk ribbons on his left and right waist. He was wearing a pair of green satin thin-soled horse boots on his feet, and a branch was inserted on his temples... The budding peony flower was already held in his hand, and he smelled it while walking.

With the support of a group of slaves and maids, Zhao Hao finally came to the main hall, and his cheap parents were waiting for his arrival.

Zhao Hao walked forward quickly and sang a fat look at Zhao Shixiao and Xie Yun. After several days of research, he had a certain understanding of the etiquette and dialogue methods of the Song Dynasty, so he would not be like an alien.

The hostess Xie Yun wore a golden silk pearl bun, a golden phoenix hanging on her head, a red gold garland hanging on her neck, a goose-yellow gold butterfly wearing a flowery yellow satin jacket, a colorful auspicious cloud-plated light green gown, a jade-spreaded pomegranate skirt, and a frosty and snow-pornographic skin, without any beautiful face eroded by time. In addition, the temperament of a noble woman with a beautiful and intelligent appearance and a little domineering aristocratic woman, she looks like a fairy and a god. In Zhao Hao's opinion, this cheap mother should be no less than the queen in the deep palace.

In fact, what he didn't know was that his cheap mother was also the number one beauty in Jiangning Mansion back then. I don't know how many princes and grandsons were in love with her. In addition to being as beautiful as a flower, the most important thing was Xie Yun, who was a strong business woman. When she was in the Xie Mansion, she managed the Xie family's business in an orderly manner. Xie Yun's contribution was indispensable to becoming the leader of Jiangning Mansion. However, this beauty with beauty and wisdom was like the domineering female president in later generations, with an extremely strong personality. Therefore, Xie Yu chose thousands of choices, and finally chose Zhao Shixiao, who was gentle. Although Zhao Shixiao's identity as a clan child was there, the most important thing was because of his harmonious personality.

The father Zhao Shixiao was wearing a scarlet brocade robe. Although he was a clan and a noble family, he seemed much inferior. Although he was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, he looked cautious and honest, and his temperament was much inferior. Zhao Hao couldn't stand this cheap father, who was almost forty years old, and he actually had a peony flower on his temples. It was simply inappropriate and rustic...

However, because of Zhao Shixiao's gentle and honest personality and Xie Yun's strong and domineering personality, the husband and wife follow her, and the family is very harmonious. The only thing that is the only disadvantage is that her baby son is worried...

When the couple saw Zhao Hao coming with their spirits, they all looked satisfied. Especially when this wandering son, who had always made them feel at politely, they felt very happy and the air in the entire hall became particularly warm.

The Northern Song Dynasty was different from other dynasties, with breakfast the most important, followed by dinner and Chinese food, so the wine and food on the table were extremely rich. Although the body was weak and the appetite was not very strong, the breakfast meal on the table still made Zhao Hao's appetite.

As white as jade, rice grains are distinct, and the meat porridge is exuding a fragrance. The crab roe buns bought from the most famous Baxianju in Jiangning City, the roasted chicken with fresh juice, the fresh and tender juice, the pure and cute Litang soup with nectar, the melons stir-fried with diamond white, shrimp, and chicken breasts, the crispy and fragrant, the vegetarian bamboo shoots with strong juice, as well as the assorted tofu, moxa fish, drunk crabs... a table filled.

All tableware is mainly gold and silver, supplemented by porcelain. The porcelain used as dishes are obviously produced by the official kiln. Zhao Hao held the porcelain bowl with fine glaze and milky white jade to serve soup, and his hands were trembling slightly. You should know that this was a price of tens of millions in later generations. He held a porcelain bowl with an official kiln worth tens of millions to serve soup. He just knocked and touched it and disappeared... It's so luxurious, but I like it.

In short, Zhao Hao ate this meal very fragrant and refreshing. He ate three crab roe buns, a bowl of meat porridge, half a bowl of Litang soup, and half a chicken leg in one go. He also ate a lot of other dishes. He couldn't eat until his stomach couldn't be over, so he burped with an unsatisfactory feeling.

For a moment, Zhao Shixia and his wife were stunned and happy.

You should know that before Zhao Hao was seriously ill, he never had more than one-third of his appetite. Eating well and eating more can lead to health. Even ordinary people know that such a simple truth is that now, seeing the appearance of this precious son eating voraciously and winding clouds, the couple is so happy.

Xie Yun loved to help Zhao Hao wipe the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a soft silk cloth, and said softly: "Little enemies, eat slowly, no one robs me. I have not recovered from eating for several days. I am afraid I will be hungry."

Zhao Hao burped a long time and said to Xie Yun: "Mother, the child wants to go out for a walk, move his body and bask in the sun."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shixiao and Xie Yun both frowned.

This little enemy is uncontrollable and it’s okay to keep it in the mansion. When you go out, you’re probably like a wild horse that has been rid of its reins. How can you stand the trouble now?

Zhao Hao was so clever. Without waiting for the cheap parents to speak, he said first: "Don't worry, father and mother. The child is just strolling around Jiangning City, and will never get involved in wandering places such as tiles. As for elixirs, whoever gives elixirs to the child will beat him up."

Xie Yun looked at Zhao Hao's pitiful expression and remembered that her baby son seemed to have changed his own person in the mansion these days. Not only was he polite to himself, but he was also very kind to his servants. He was not as domineering as a scoundrel in the past, but his heart was soft and he agreed.

As soon as Xie Yun agreed, Zhao Shixiao had always been a strict wife. Although she felt it was inappropriate, she had no right to speak.

...

Zhao Hao's pomp at going out is not simple.

Zhao Hao naturally couldn't ride a horse. He rode a warm sedan chair with red curtains, and was carried by four carriages with wide arms and round waists. It was flat and stable, without the hardship of carriages and horses. In the warm sedan chair, there was also a silk blanket with squids as seats, soft and comfortable.

Before warming up the sedan chair, Yiqi guards the yard and four slaves will open the way.

The leading guards' general was born with a tiger-backed and bear-bearing waist, at least 1.85 meters tall, and his bulging muscles were not covered even with a green jacket. His arms were thicker than Zhao Hao's thighs. It is said that this guy could throw a hundred kilograms of stone mill to play with.

This person was originally named Wang Ji. It is said that he had committed many serious cases for the thief and was later rescued by the Zhao family. Therefore, he repays his kindness and becomes a guardian of the Zhao family. Now he has been in the mansion for ten years. Zhao Shiyu changed his surname to Zhao, so his current name is Zhao Ji, and he called him Zhao Yun, the general of the Three Kingdoms and Five Tigers.

"One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei", the five generals of the tiger were used as guards, which was the treatment of Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han, Liu Bei. Zhao Hao naturally felt a sense of vanity in his heart.

In fact, Zhao Ji, who has the same surname as Tiger General, has a very difficult skill.

"Zhao Ji, force: 80; intelligence: 55; speed: 76; light skills: 81; politics: 35; command: 45; health value: 91; loyalty to the host: 90, favorability to the host: 60."

The merit system can not only query the attributes of the host, but also query the attributes of anyone else.

The force of 80 is considered a famous general in history. Of course, becoming a famous general not only depends on its attributes, but also has to have a chance. Otherwise, if you are not lucky, you will only be a steal.

In addition to the guard guards in front of him, there were more than a dozen domestic slaves and a carriage behind him. The slaves were all in their hands. The carriage was not used for seating, but for money.

Since Zhao Hao did not travel through the Water Margin world, but the real Song Dynasty, there would be no style of the heroes of Water Margin who bought wine and meat and only bought a few taels of silver. In this era, silver was not used for private transactions, and paper money was only used in CD areas, so copper coins were still used in Jiangning Prefecture.

A thousand jin of money is a penny weighing about five grams, and a penny weighs ten jin. Zhao Hao went out for the first time after he was seriously ill. In order to make his baby son happy, Xie Yun asked the accountant to pay a hundred jin for his baby son to spend. This hundred jin of money is a thousand jin, so he could only use a carriage to pull it.

The rice price at that time was one stone (about 120 kilograms). The purchasing power of a penny is equivalent to 30 cents now, and a hundred guan is actually equivalent to 30,000 yuan. It is not many ordinary rich second generations today. But in fact, in that era of material scarcity, a five guan can buy a maid and a hundred guan can buy twenty maids, which is far more than the modern 30,000 yuan.

However, as one of the four major prefectures in Jiangning, the Zhao Mansion has a wealth of more than ten million yuan, but not a hundred yuan. Moreover, this is the first time that his baby son went out after he recovered from a serious illness. Xie Yun was happy and gave him an integer.

However, it is inconvenient to trade copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even the money shortage in the entire Song Dynasty. It is a fact that it is already a lot to bring a hundred coins when going out. If you take too much, you will have to dispatch a convoy.

In front, Zhao Qi led the way, and behind, there was a carriage hunched into bags of money to press the formation. Zhao Hao felt like he was floating in the clouds.

...

In March, in the spring, the shore of Mochou Lake is full of tourists, the willows are like smoke, the lake surface is as flat as a mirror, the lake water is clear, and the morning sun shines on the lake surface, like brocade and jade. The cruise ships are shuttled back and forth on the lake surface, and the egrets are flying from time to time from time to time from the perched lake surface, stretching their white wings, and beautiful shadows are drawn in the warm spring sky.

Zhao Hao's eyes were attracted by the beautiful spring scenery. The white clouds were reflected on the lake. He saw swimming fish passing through the white clouds and birds flying in the lake.

Melodious and pleasant sounds of silk and bamboo float from one orchid boat after another, occasionally mixed with a string of silver bell-like laughter. In such a beautiful weather, the girl who had been in the deep boudoir for a winter could not help but breathe in the name of outings. There were countless students on the lakeside, and among them, there were also rich young men taking the opportunity to hunt for beauty in the name of outings. This was originally a season of great success.

Zhao Hao was naturally not here to hunt for beauty. Although he was absolutely grassroots in his previous life, he was not so hungry that he had been on the brain all day long. What's more, his weak body is not enough to support him to show his strength in bed. What he urgently needs is the merit value, which is also his purpose in going to the streets.

He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, looked around, and soon found the target.

When the young master of Zhao's family was traveling, the streets were in chaos, and pedestrians avoided them, and a large area of ​​streets were empty in front of them. Then Zhao Hao saw a trembling old lady who was trying to cross the street with a cane.

Damn, helping the old lady cross the road is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accumulate merit!

Zhao Hao shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, help the old lady cross the road for me!"
