In fact, she almost became Wu Song's sister-in-law!
"Oh, let me just say, the people in Qinghe Town don't talk about anything else. I, Wu Song, know all about the rich and powerful. Just take the Wang Yuanwai in the town as an example. I heard from my brother earlier that Wang Yuanwai's family used money to buy an official for his son. In the end, he was deceived and went bankrupt. The Ximen family swallowed up all the property."
Wu Song was not as cautious as Yang Zhi, and with a hearty smile, he slowed down and chatted with Xia Qiu.
"Little lady, do you know Wang Yuanwai? The one who was originally the richest man in Qinghe Town, who used to be able to eat rent and live comfortably?"
Yang Zhi glanced at the carriage and knew that Xia Qiu was not shy about this, so he stopped interrupting and drove to the front to check the road conditions.
Listening to Wu Song's words, Xia Qiu's eyes flickered slightly.
"Brother Wu is saying that the Wang family has fallen?"
"Haha, it seems that the little lady hasn't been back for some time. I heard my brother said that the Wang family had fallen years ago, and now Ximen's family is in the midst of the sun!" Wu Song said with some resentment, and sighed again after speaking.
"Now these officials and businessmen are making money, and the ordinary people are really getting more and more desperate."
Xia Qiu was silent and didn't respond.
She lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. The official road was wide and flat, and it was only three or four days away from the capital, so it was not too far away.
There are also carriages and horses traveling on the official road, all of which are carts of traders.
This is the Song Dynasty, the world of Zhao Jing.
But Zhao Jing is sitting in the palace, where can he see these things
There were 108 people in the Water Margin, which made the Song Dynasty restless, but in the final analysis, it was not the collusion of bureaucrats, it was the emperor's problem.
When a dynasty was about to fall, she wanted to save some time, took those 108 people under her command, and asked Zhao Jing to kill Cai Jing immediately, all in order to repay Zhao Jing's kindness.
But in the end, she still let Gao Youhe go.
Perhaps since she left the capital, her life has nothing to do with Gao Youhe, but that day in the imperial study, when the words came to her lips, thinking of the temperature when the man held her hand, thinking of the eyebrows and eyes of the Tsinghua scholar, she finally kept her mouth shut.
They stayed in Zhoujiaji for one night, and they set off again early the next morning.
Xia Qiu has a map of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in his hand. From Bianliang to Qinghe Town, in modern times, even by train, it is only a day's journey, but now in the Great Song Dynasty where vehicles and horses are inconvenient, it will take at least a month and a half for their group to stop and go.
However, when the road encountered official road rectification, the group had to detour to Shandong.
In Yuncheng County, Xia Qiu settled in an inn, and suddenly heard someone on the road outside the window calling, "Asi, Yasi, come this way."
She opened the window to look, and there was a group of men in yamen uniforms hooking shoulders and backs on the road, all of them slightly drunk, and a small servant in a roadside tavern called them, but they were extremely affectionate.
"Brother Wu, go and ask the identity of the black and thin man in the middle, and who opened the tavern." Xia Qiu called Wu Song and gave orders.
Wu Song nodded immediately.
He went and came back soon to report to Xia Qiu.
"Little lady has already found out that the black and thin man's name is Song Jiang, and he is an officer. He seems to be a person with a clear personality. The tavern is opened by a family surnamed Wang, and there is nothing special. Little lady, don't you want to go to that tavern to listen to music? I went there just now, but I saw a woman and a girl singing in there."
Already familiar with Xia Qiu, Wu Song joked and laughed again.
"Brother Wu, doesn't he know the Yasi?" Xia Qiu looked at Wu Song.
