Huang Shuhai stared at the bracelet for a long time.
When he was a shadow guard in the past, he also visited many palaces and noble houses. This string of bracelets is clearly something from the palace, isn't this girl a mixed bag? Could it be that she stole it. But the guards in the palace are strict, and the girl's skill is only average, how did she sneak into the palace.
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Chu Rong looked at Huang Shuhai a little absent-mindedly.
"It's nothing." Huang Shuhai paused, "Hurry up and wash your clothes, it will be too late if you don't wash them."
The place where Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai are at the moment is the city closest to Kyoto, called Xinbei Prefecture. Xinbei Prefecture is very close to Beijing, and the round trip by carriage is only half a day away.
However, compared to the prosperity of Kyoto, this Xinbei Prefecture seems to be a rural place.
It's not that I have never been to Chu Rong in Kyoto. There are high-rise mansions and glazed tiles everywhere on a street, which is very impressive. Walking casually on the street for a while, you can smell all kinds of fragrances. Here is the aroma of abalone and sea cucumber, and there is the fragrance of powder from the jewelry store. Further on, you can smell the mixture of different tea aromas and various flavors, which is the atmosphere of prosperity.
However, Xinbei Prefecture is very different from Kyoto. There are very few shops on the streets, and most of them are workshops. Here is a blacksmith's shop, and there is a tailor's shop.
If it is said that Kyoto represents the most prosperous commercial level in Daxia, then Xinbei Prefecture is the factory behind this prosperous capital.
Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai originally rushed to the capital early the next morning, but it was a pity that the weather was not good. As soon as Chu Rong woke up, she saw light rain falling outside the window. When she finished packing, the rain actually became heavier and heavier.
As soon as they walked out of the inn room, the groom hurried over, the brim of his hat was still dripping with rainwater, "You two customers, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today, the rain is too heavy. Horses are also afraid of rain. Ah, easily startled."
"Then when can we leave?" Chu Rong looked worried, she really wanted to see Xiao Mingyue sooner.
Xiao Jin'er on the side was not very happy after hearing this, and tugged at the corner of Chu Rong's clothes, "Mother, when can I see sister Mingyue and uncle."
The coachman on the side is also used to winking. Seeing that a few customers are really anxious, they can only spread their hands and explain helplessly, "It's fine if it's just raining, but there are other things, don't look at this. There is nothing unusual on the sub-street, but when it rains for a while, the rainwater will accumulate on the road, making it very difficult to walk."
Chu Rong poked her body outside, and the rain was indeed accumulating more and more. The water level was rising, but there was no place for the rain to flow down.
The groom simply took off his wet hat and coat, sat down and talked with Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai, "I have come to Xinbei Prefecture hundreds of times, if not a thousand times. It is a rule that the operation will stop when it rains. Waterlogging It's so serious, how can you get out of the house?"
"Then no one from the government will take care of it?" Chu Rong asked curiously.
The groom waved his hand, as if Chu Rong didn't understand the situation, "The terrain and terrain are placed here, how do we manage this, can we scoop up the water when it rains?"
"Then there is no drainage system, and the water is allowed to collect in the street?"
"What barrel?" When the groom heard this word for the first time, he thought his ears were not very good and he heard the wrong thing.
"It's a channel for underground drainage. Isn't the water unable to drain down? Then dig some channels in the ground and use the underground channels to drain water. Just drain the water from the underground pipes into the river." Chu Rong patiently told him To explain it, it is better to say less about this kind of professional term in the future.
The groom seemed to understand, but felt that what Chu Rong said seemed to be very reasonable and insightful, "This lady is really knowledgeable, and she understands these things."
In fact, there are still drainage systems in this era, but ordinary people certainly don't know much about them, so when Chu Rong talked about the underground passage, the groom's face was a little more admirable.
Huang Shuhai on the side also admired secretly, and said in her ear, "Daughter-in-law, why do you know everything?"
Chu Rong smiled a little embarrassedly. To her, this was just common sense.
The Great Xia Dynasty was only established for more than 40 years, and the underground drainage system was still used in the previous dynasty. The one in Kyoto is better. The former emperor spent a lot of time building it, while other places just need to be more perfunctory. Perfunctory.
This kind of waterlogging situation is more or less common in other places, but the terrain in Xinbei Prefecture is not good, so the disadvantages are more likely to appear.
At this time, a strange smell came in from outside the inn, interrupting Chu Rong's thinking. And in the innThe other travelers apparently smelled it too.
"Shopkeeper, what's the matter, I'll stay here with you, why is it so smelly, how are we going to live here?"
"Could it be that someone has diarrhea? Can you please tell me that you are so wicked, you will make people spit out!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
