Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 183 People in the Song Dynasty were all poop scoopers
"Excuse me, both of you, where is this place?"

"Excuse me, who are you?" Wang Mang asked directly without beating around the bush.

"My surname is Lu, my given name is You, and my courtesy name is Wuguan. I am from Shanyin, Yuezhou." The man replied politely.

"Are you Lu You?" Su Jiahe and Wang Mang were surprised at the same time.

"It's me, do you recognize me?"

"Mr. Lu, please come in and I'll talk to you slowly."

Su Jiahe invited Lu You into the living room and spent half a day finally explaining the whole story.

"Here we are, more than eight hundred years later?" Lu You looked bewildered and pinched his hand quietly. However, the real pain told him that this was not a dream.

"I've only heard of the legend of the Broken Chess Man, but I never thought such a thing could actually happen."

"Mr. Lu, which year are you from?" Su Jiahe asked.

"It's the seventh year of Qiandao, and I was on my way to Nanzheng just now."

Su Jiahe checked on Baidu and found that in the seventh year of Qiandao, which was 1171, Lu You was summoned to serve as an official, so he should have been taking up the post at that time.

"Mr. Lu, you should be only 47 years old this year." Wang Mang said suddenly.

"Yes."

When Wang Mang saw Lu You for the first time, he saw that his temples were gray and his face was full of vicissitudes. He thought he was about the same age as himself, but he didn't expect that he was in the prime of his life.

Perhaps it is because he was born in the turbulent Southern Song Dynasty, and was always worried about the country and the people, and his ambitions were unfulfilled, that he looks so old.

"Mr. Lu, please put aside your official duties and relax for these seven days. I will take you out for a walk. Where do you want to go?" Su Jiahe went straight to the point.

"Where else can I go in just seven days? If I can go out and see what the afterlife looks like, my life will be worth it."

"Mr. Lu, now is different from eight hundred years ago. No matter where you go, it only takes one day at most. Even if you want to go overseas, it will basically take two days." Wang Mang hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Could it be that eight hundred years later, everyone will be able to travel a thousand miles a day?" Lu You looked surprised.

"I'll take you out in a moment, and you'll know."

Lu You pondered for a moment and said slowly, "In that case, please take me to visit my hometown. I wonder if the old scenery still exists after hundreds of years."

"No problem, I'll book the ticket now." Su Jiahe picked up the phone and just opened the ticket purchasing app, but suddenly thought of a question.

"Brother Wang, if we all go out, what will happen to Yingying?"

"Take Yingying with you. Let her go out for a walk more often, which will help her recovery." Wang Mang said as he picked up Yingying.

"Okay, okay." When Yingying heard that she was going to be taken out to play, she clapped her hands happily.

"Then let's take her along. Yingying hasn't been out yet." Su Jiahe quickly booked four high-speed rail tickets. "Mr. Lu, we're not leaving until tomorrow. Let me show you around today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "meow" and Tangqiu ran down the stairs. He walked to Lu You on his four little legs and lay down obediently.

"Hey, Miss Su also has a cat?" Lu You's eyes lit up when he saw the sugar ball.

"Yes, most cats are shy, but my cat loves to rub against strangers."

"That's great! I like clingy cats, just like my raccoon." Lu You said, leaning over and gently stroking Tangqiu's fur. Tangqiu lay comfortably on the ground, rolled over, and made a "purring" sound.

"Mr. Lu, you are so skilled at petting cats." Wang Mang said with a smile.

"I have several of them. Especially in winter, when the wind is howling outside, being alone in the house with a few cats snuggling up to me is the greatest joy in the world."

"Did people in the Song Dynasty all like to keep cats?" Su Jiahe remembered that Li Qingzhao also liked sugar balls very much and even painted a picture of it herself.

"Yes, keeping cats was indeed very popular back then, and you even had to give a 'betrothal gift' to adopt a cat from outside." "A betrothal gift? Isn't that like getting a wife?" Wang Mang couldn't help but smile.

"You need a betrothal gift to bring a cat home. If you want to bring a stray cat home, you have to give the female cat a bunch of dried fish. If you adopt a cat from another family, you also have to give the original owner some gifts..."

When Lu You mentioned raising cats, he began to talk endlessly, sharing a lot of his experiences, and seemed to have temporarily forgotten all his troubles. Wang Mang and Su Jiahe listened with great interest, as if the door to a new world had opened up.

"It turns out that the ancients had so much knowledge about raising cats. It's elegant, so elegant." Su Jiahe nodded in admiration and thought to himself, it seems that people in the Song Dynasty were all cat owners.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed and Wang Mang felt his stomach rumbling.

"I say let's go out for dinner first, and then we can play with the cats when we come back."

"Oh, you two just said you were going out." Lu You suddenly came back to his senses. "This kitten is really lovely. When I saw it, I actually forgot what I was doing. I'm so sorry, so sorry."

"It's okay. We'll be with you for the next seven days anyway. Feel free to do as you please."

Lu You changed into modern casual clothes and went out with everyone to the bustling street.

"Is this still the human world?" Lu You couldn't believe his eyes.

"Every time traveler can't believe it, but you'll get used to it." Wang Mang said calmly.

Soon, Su Jiahe drove to the snack street. The weather was cold, so the heat from the stalls dissipated more slowly. All sorts of tempting aromas filled the air, making one salivate.

"Mr. Lu, don't be fooled by the simple appearance of this place. All the authentic delicacies are here," said Su Jiahe.

"I just like this kind of bustling atmosphere of the city. Compared with those restaurants and teahouses, it is a bit more interesting." Lu You was a little hungry, so he walked quickly into the snack street.

"Mr. Lu, I've been here before, and I tell you, this soup dumpling is incredibly delicious. Every bite is filled with broth."

"The pancakes there are delicious too, but don't add ham, or it won't be authentic."

"Avoid that internet-famous barbecue restaurant. The meat isn't fresh at all. The barbecue stall in front is pretty good."

……

Wang Mang introduced Lu You as they walked.

"Uncle, try this, it's sweet." Yingying held up the milk tea and handed it to Lu You.

"This little girl is so pretty. Who is she to you?" Lu You pinched Yingying's little face.

"She's my sister." Su Jiahe said.

"Yes, Sister Su is my good sister." Yingying looked at Su Jiahe innocently.

After more than an hour, the group finally finished visiting the snack street.

"There are so many kinds of food eight hundred years later. I'm so full." Lu You touched his stomach, his face flushed.

"I'm full too. Let's take a walk and enjoy the scenery." Wang Mang suggested.

The few of them continued walking along the road, passing by shops one after another.

"The later generations are so prosperous. I wonder if Tokyo was like this back then." Lu You couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, they arrived in front of a shop. Through the French windows, they saw many cats lying in the shop.

Seeing cats all over the ground, Lu You stopped immediately.

"Is this a pet shop?" Wang Mang asked.

"This is a cat cafe," Su Jiahe looked up at the sign, "Mr. Lu likes cats, let's go in and take a look."
