The city of Nanjing, with a slight autumn, is full of traffic and crowds.

Even though it was almost evening, the people walking on the street were densely packed with people, and there were a wide variety of shops on both sides of the street, welcoming waves of young men and ladies.

Although there are many people, there are no places on the spacious roads. Except for occasionally one or two shops that need to cross the street to reach the other side before appearing on this road, more people would rather squeeze hard and be able to follow the so-called "rules of fortune" and walk on the narrow roads on both sides of the road.

The central road is left for fast horses and carriages, so it is also called "road" by the people. The narrow roads on both sides of the road are only allowed to pass by pedestrians, so it is called "sidewalk".

On the roads parallel to the sidewalks on both sides, there will be eye-catching white paint sprayed every 100 feet away, which is different from the dark asphalt road and looks like the stripes on the body of zebras, so it is called "zebra crossing".

During the urban planning process in Nanjing, Wang Yusen put in a lot of effort. Pedestrians are prohibited from crossing the road and can only walk the zebra crossing aisle. Otherwise, if they are hit by a carriage or galloping horse, the rider will not bear any responsibility.

By the same token, once a carriage or galloping horse crashes into the sidewalk, the rider is basically done.

If a horse is shocked and hit a pedestrian, the rider will often face more than ten years of prison. If the rider rides a horse and hurts someone while drinking, it will basically be a death sentence.

Wang Yusen's vigorous rectification has greatly improved the transportation situation in Nanjing. In the past, the situation where there was no traffic wherever they went, and the carriages were often slow and slow, and all kinds of travelers and vendors were almost concentrated on both sides of the sidewalk, and there would be no traffic jams.

This is also beneficial for protecting the people. After all, Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It often receives military and political requirements from various provinces and regions. If it is expedited by more than 400 miles, there is no idleness in the Xunqi cavalry and there are too many people to care about, and the people are dragged down and walking slowly. If it is eight hundred miles, it will be even more deadly. The Xunjian often hits directly. Not only do they deserve the bad luck, but their families also have to pay the horse money.

And in Nanjing now, this situation will no longer happen.

Looking at the carriage galloping by his side, and then looking at the crowd in front of him, Zhu Wenqi, who was running out of the academy, was very upset. He originally wanted to get out by carriage, but his car was in the palace. If he returned to the palace, his father would find out.

As for why you hide it from your father?

Zhu Wenqi turned his head and looked at the shy little girl beside him, and then giggled.

Girls who are not married will basically not show up outside, which is the old calendar. It is also the rigid defense of men and women under Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, not to mention the big girls and little wives running around the streets, homosexuality became a trend.

The Chinese are not actually conservative, and the more time goes, the more open it becomes. Because Lao Ai can turn the wheels and sway the market on the streets, thus becoming the dream lover of young women in Xianyang City, which is obvious.

After the Song Dynasty, the barriers for men and women to defend themselves became higher and higher, and the gap became wider and wider. By the Yuan and Ming dynasties, when the custom of foot binding began to become mainstream, it would be even more insurmountable between men and women.

So there was a famous saying in the Qing Dynasty that "there are rapes of women."

The Ming Dynasty law adds every year that many morally allowed things are no longer allowed by law, such as the custom of sinking the '**slut' in the river.

If a girl meets a lover at night or sneaks out of the mansion, she becomes a so-called slut. As a result, she is killed by her father, and she will not stop you. Anyway, since the country is ruthless afterwards, you will still not be able to escape the crime of murder.

This also indirectly helps women improve their status, giving more and more lovers and daughters the opportunity to get in touch and the basis for cultivating feelings.

If you are discovered, at worst you can go home and get beaten up.

As long as you don’t make a scandal of pregnancy before marriage and restrain the weeds in your heart, it’s not a big problem.

"It's almost late, I have to go home."

After walking two streets, the little girl was tired of walking, with a slightly sweaty look on her nose. She looked at Zhu Wenqi timidly and shyly, and rubbed her fingers with her hands on the corners of her clothes.

"ah."

Zhu Wenqi scratched the back of his head: "There is a very good roast duck restaurant in front of him. Why don't we finish our meal and I'll take you back."

"No, no."

The little girl said she refused, but the longing in her eyes still betrayed her completely.

Zhu Wenqi was also thick-skinned. Although he didn't dare to grab the girl's hand, he still urged him to "leave", and his body began to tell the girl.

The two of them walked towards the roast duck restaurant. When they arrived at the door, the girl obviously hesitated again and did not dare to take a step for a long time.

"Get in."

Zhu Wenqi was a little impatient: "I've been here, I'll try it. I'll be busy preparing for the graduation exam in the next few days, but I don't have time to run out again."

The girl bit her lip lightly, and Lianbu stopped just after taking one step. After a pause, she could turn around and leave in a few seconds.

"It's too late to wait until my dad gets home and finds me sneaking out, and it's all done."

Zhu Wenqi touched the tip of his nose with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't force it too much, so he had to follow him and fulfill his guard duties. The two of them chatted casually. Most of the time, Zhu Wenqi said it again, and the little girls often just said oh.

When they reached the zebra crossing, the two of them were about to cross the road, and several tik cavalry had already galloped over and closed the entrance. A row of carriages behind them began to pass by.

The shaft of each carriage is equipped with a flag.

"Ministry of Rites and State Binshi."

"The Jinyiwei Nanjing Thousand Households."

"Naval Yangtze River Defense Office."

"Bang."

Especially the carriage with the shaped beam flag is simple but not simple, because it drives six horses together.

This is a specification that only the Ming League and the kings of the allied countries are qualified to enjoy. Only Yang Shiqi and Zhu Di were specially approved by Zhu Yunwen.

"What a big battle."

"Who is this Liang? Where did the King of Fanbian come from?"

The people at the foot of the emperor are basically knowledgeable, so they can judge the status of the guests in the carriage from the etiquette and guard specifications at a glance.

This word came into Zhu Wenqi's ears, and he was also a beautiful woman around him, and immediately said loudly.

"Liang Daoyi of Palembang is also a descendant of our Han descendants in the South China countries."

Zhu Wenqi's voice was heard clearly not only by the people beside him, but also by several carriages that were passing by.

The curtains of several carriages were lifted up.

"Being arrogant, dare to call the national guests to honor them."

A seventh-rank official walked in parallel next to the carriage of the Ministry of Rites and looked at Zhu Wenqi in search of voice, and was stunned as soon as he scolded him.

Zhu Wenqi had a bad temper and could not bear such anger. He just planned to scold him, but found that the beauty beside him turned around and ran away. He didn't care about it and quickly chased after him, leaving only one sentence.

"You are just being presumptuous. When the guy finishes his work, he will cut you off."

The two little guys chased and ran into the crowd one after another. The official in the carriage of the Ministry of Rites poked his head out: "Old Han, why are you stunned? Let's go."

"yes."

The middle-aged official who called Lao Han came to his senses and sang a loud voice: "The convoy keeps stopping, hurry up and send the state guest to the state guesthouse and get off."

After saying that, he said something.
