The bustling scenery of Kyoto in the north, although it is not as good as the small bridge and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, the beauty of the mountains, the beauty of the water, and the home of the water town, but also has a unique charm, not to mention the noisy street market, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder, the shops are beautiful, and the dazzling array is full of clothes;

Recently, with the addition of festivals, the Hu Ren Art Troupe has appeared on the street, and they have been camping and touring in the West Market for several days, playing acrobatics, performing magic, playing monkey opera, singing and dancing, all of them have taken out their housekeeping skills, won the bride price wave after wave, and applauded one after another......

In the capital, there are two places in the east market and the west market, the east market is close to the imperial city, along the road is mostly to agitate jade and other high-end goods, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles linger all the year round, and the ordinary people rarely take care of it, so when it comes to the busy season, the east market seems to be a little deserted;

And the West Market is the people's market in the true sense, the groceries, hotels, shops here are also the most, the streets are also the most prosperous, here all the year round gathered from the south and the north of the world, tourists and the Western Regions Huren acrobatic troupe, etc., with the Northern Wei Dynasty border is becoming more and more peaceful, the national strength is rising, the merchants come and go more and more, the preferential policies given by the state also make the merchants more willing to do business in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the development of the economy around the Northern Wei Dynasty, which makes the Northern Wei Dynasty also began to become prosperous and strong.

Along the way, I carefully took the princess's hand so as not to be swept away by the crowd of people in the West Market. Behind him were Ziyu and Hongyu, and Ah Zheng was sent by me to guard the carriage.

Finally pushed aside the crowd in front of him, set up an open space, protected the princess by his side, stood on his heels, and looked inside, but it was the jugglers who were training the monkeys to play monkey plays, these monkeys wore human clothes and hats, beat gongs and drums, walked and saluted, and looked naïve and cute, which really made everyone laugh.

"Mu monkey clothes, it's really interesting!"

The princess was smiling, but what she said always made me feel that it meant something else.

I laughed and said:

"Madame thinks it's funny, have you been tired after walking for so long?

I'm afraid that she will be tired, and there are indeed many people in the capital these days, and the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, so it is really not suitable for her to show up in front of so many people.

That being said, only I know that I regret taking my daughter-in-law, who is so well-dressed and pleasant, to walk around the crowded streets. Because the princess's return rate is so high, so high that I can't wait to deduct the wide eyes of those good people to reduce my hatred a little.

The princess looked at me with a smile, and seemed to notice my bad intentions, which made me a little embarrassed.

The corners of the princess's mouth rose, and she said:

"The teahouse seems to be full of people, so how is this good?"

Ah, the princess is teasing me, and I know that she has seen through it.

Because there are people along the road who stop to watch the two of us pass side by side, and I obviously don't like those people staring directly at my daughter-in-law, so I took her along the way to a place with few people, but these days the capital is very lively, full of people, and it is a little difficult to find a quiet place.

The corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching a little, yes, once I sat in the teahouse, didn't I sit and wait for the group of guys to watch?

"What's going on lately, there are so many people in this capital that it's a little unusual!"

I muttered a few words of grumbling, always feeling that it is not unusual for too many people to have too many people, and that the Empress Dowager's banquet will be held in the near future, and although it is a celebration of the whole world, the officials in charge of Gyeonggi security have done some hard work to curb the entry of outsiders into Beijing.

With the end of the Qianqiu feast, the capital is almost only allowed to enter, even if you need to enter the city, you have to show a photo card to prove your identity, and you have to be a person in the capital to be released.

The princess only pondered for a moment when she heard my unintentional words, glanced behind me, and then drew me close to her, as if to protect my safety.

My body was so close to hers that my face suddenly turned red, and I was a little unhappy, but I just felt that it was also excellent to be in this way.

I thought that someone was passing behind me, and the princess was worried that someone would hurt me, so she was so anxious to protect me.

How did I know that there was a sudden burst of rude voices behind him that made people "get out of the way, get out of the way", and when I heard it, it was like a vicious slave scolding angrily!

When I turned my head and looked at it, I couldn't help but want to scold out loud, what kind of person is this, seeing people coming and going here, he actually dares to drive the carriage in, what if he hits and hurts someone? This coachman is really very majestic, and I don't know whose power he relies on, dare to fake the tiger here, and speak vulgarly, it is really unreasonable!

Before I could curse, the people around me were already filled with righteous indignation, and reluctantly gave up the gap, and cursed in a low voice:

"This, what kind of person is this, what a ......"

"It's inexplicable that so many people are still driving here!"

"What the hell......"

"It's amazing to be an official......"

......

Xu saw that this carriage was richly decorated and owned by the official family, even if everyone complained, they were helpless, and they did not dare to offend the officials lightly.

With the princess by my side, I don't want to make more trouble, but I really want to see who is sitting in this carriage, and dares to put on such a big official authority, if I let me know who this person is, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

Looking forward to it, but the bamboo curtain was blocked, and for a while I couldn't see the appearance of the person sitting inside, but with the shaking of the carriage, when the bamboo curtain opened and closed, I seemed to see two people sitting in the carriage, or a man and a woman, the woman was wearing an emerald green robe, and the man seemed to be a child of an official family, and the white magnolia flower jade pendant hanging on the belt showed his noble status.

I was slightly stunned, and I always felt that the white magnolia flower was seen somewhere.

I watched the carriage slowly pass in front of me, and I desperately thought about the clues of the jade pendant in my mind, but I couldn't remember it. sighed, it seems that God is helping that kid, otherwise, let grandpa know who this kid is, and he will definitely not let this guy go!

The princess looked at me in a daze, squeezed my hand a little to make me awake, glanced at the carriage, and said:

"Why, do you know the man in the carriage?"

I shook my head and said:

"I don't know, but unfortunately I didn't see the man's appearance. ”

After helping me tidy up my clothes a little, the princess smiled faintly and said:

"It's just a matter of road, don't be angry and sad about this. ”

The princess wants to be calm and calm, and she will not be angry, and I have never seen what the princess looks like when she is really angry, but she is beautiful, whether she is sad or happy, I have seen it and kept it firmly in mind, but this anger, I never want to see it, I always feel that if she is really angry, it seems that the day is going to fall......

"Well, listen to Madame. I remember that after crossing the stone bridge, I walked through a street, and there was a tea shed on the side of the street that specialized in herbal tea, there were few people and it was quiet, why don't we go to the tea shed and rest for a while?"

The princess told me not to be angry, and I won't be angry. Looking at the princess with a smile, she hid her face and smiled, and said:

"Where the husband says to go, let's go!"

As soon as I heard this "husband", I couldn't help but smirk, and my heart began to itch again.

After saying hello to Ziyu and Hongyu, who had been not five steps away from us, our group left the downtown area of Xishi and walked to the slightly more remote tea shed.

When I found the tea shed, there were a few small vendors selling groceries and steamed bread and cakes around, and there were few people, but it was a quiet place.

I saw that the old man dressed like a tea shed decoration shop was pouring out the bowl of herbal tea in his hand angrily, and at the end he cursed a few words, saying:

"A good bowl of tea, but it's ruined again......"

The princess and I looked at each other and smiled, and I took the initiative to go up to greet the old man, and said:

"Old man, is this tea shed your own?"

As soon as the old man heard someone calling him, he turned around and took a look, but saw two men and two women walking together, not to mention that these people are good-looking, and they are also very well-cultivated in conversation, they must be rich and noble, just say that this pair of jade people who have been holding hands in front of them are newlywed Yan'er at a glance, and they are full of affection.

This bride looks like a fairy, with a luxurious bearing, and this groom is also Yushu Lingfeng, handsome and extraordinary, it is really appropriate to describe it with heaven and earth, and it is really envious of others!

The old man smiled with a smile on his face, stroked his long gray beard, and said:

"Chen Laohan's tea shed has not welcomed such a noble person for a long time, a few of them are tired and thirsty, if you don't dislike it, please come to my tea shed to sit, drink a few sips of herbal tea and then leave!"

I politely bowed to the old man and said:

"The old man is polite, I went out with my wife and two entourages to visit the beautiful scenery of the capital, and I happened to be tired, so I asked the old man for a convenience, rest for a while, this is tea money, a lot of trouble!"

After speaking, he handed over the tea money to the old man and made another salute.

How did the old man return the money again, and said busily:

"Childe is to kill the old decay, the decay Zhang Luo this tea shed is not for trading, but to give this neighbor a good place to drink tea leisurely, all the families can afford it, all say that my old Chen brewed out of the herbal tea authentic, the weather is hot to drink a few sips before it is comfortable, this is to prop up the tea shed, here for the passing tourists to lift, get a bowl of herbal tea to drink. ”

"Besides, this didn't cost a lot of money, they are all home-grown Xia Sang wild chrysanthemums, a few of them don't need to be polite, just sit down, the herbal tea will arrive soon!"

As soon as the words fell, the old man was in a hurry to bring a few bowls of clean herbal tea for a few of us.

I looked at the old man with some embarrassment, and I didn't know what to do with the money in my hand, but the small vendors nearby enthusiastically mentioned it, and said:

"This son doesn't have to be so polite, Old Man Chen is warm and hospitable, you will know it after a few more trips!"

"Yes, yes, we haven't been such a polite guest in this alley for a long time, if you don't dislike it, you can also try our pastries, with Chen Laohan's herbal tea, it has a different flavor!"

"Haha, little brother, how can your flower cake be as delicious as the almond and peach crisp made by Wufangzhai at the end of the street?

"Eh~you......"

......

It is said that the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, this old man Chen is so hospitable, and naturally because the neighbors are also so enthusiastic, he is used to seeing the flattery of officialdom.

I laughed, saluted the neighbors, and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, you can be warmly entertained, Xiaosheng feels very kind, this is polite!"

After the princess was seated, I sat down on her right hand side, beckoned Ziyu and Hongyu to come together, and the four of them occupied a table.

Soon, Chen Laohan's herbal tea was served, Ziyu looked at the color and aroma of this tea, and knew that Chen Laohan was sincere in his materials, and Tong Su was not bullied, which was really rare. With a flick of his hand, a silver needle in his hand was in his hand, and as soon as he made a move, he tried several bowls of tea without leaving a trace, and after confirming that it was safe, he nodded at Hongyu.

Compassion is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable!

Old man Chen looked at me taking good care of the princess, his face was full of smiles, and he said:

"The son and the young lady are deeply in love, and they are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, I really envy others!"

I like to hear people say how I and the princess are so compatible, the face is difficult to hide the smugness, the table held the princess's hand, and a little tighter, the princess eyebrows are also dyed a little smile, when I think of what seems to have happened here, I asked curiously, said:

"The old man has a gloomy face, but is there anything difficult about it?"

Chen Laohan sighed slightly, nodded, and said:

"But the old man just collided with the young lady, it's really rude, Chen Laohan thanks the young lady for her concern, in fact, it's not a difficult thing, but in the past few days, there have been many nobles riding high-headed horses passing by, and they are so troublesome that they dare not say it clearly. Fang Cai's team was even worse, rampage, almost committing human life, and now I feel terrified when I think about it!"

The princess and I looked at each other, a little uneasy in my heart, if I remember correctly, since a few years ago, after a child of an official family committed a murder case by arson on a horse, he was severely punished by Jingzhao Yin Wei Wang Xiao Zhao in accordance with the law, and explicitly prohibited from running a horse in a crowded place and other places, after the murder of a horse rarely happened, and Wei Wang Xiao Zhao also won an honest and selfless official reputation, loved by the people.

Nowadays, there are people who dare to run wild in the streets, either they don't take the state laws and regulations into account, or they are not the nobles of the capital.

"Oh, do you know who those are?"

Although I have this question, but I also guessed what kind of people are in my heart, the recent Qianqiu banquet, the governors of all states and towns will come to congratulate, I heard that some of these managers also brought their own sons or grandsons, saying that they want to let them see the prosperous scenery of the capital!

"Old man Chen is clumsy, but he doesn't know these people, but they are not very old, all of them are dressed in military uniforms, they are tall and powerful, imposing, they are all tied with Qingfeng swords around their waists, and the horses in the □□ are tall and powerful, and they are not ordinary people at a glance. ”

When Chen Laohan mentioned this group of people, his body trembled slightly, and it seemed that the danger of Fang Cai still made Chen Laohan feel palpitations.

Hongyu, who had been silent, suddenly said a sentence coldly, which made me slightly stunned.

"Hmph, it's really the group of bastard Taibao under the command of the chief!"

I can't help but be dumbfounded, the name of this bastard Taibao is really appropriate, and I have also heard a little about some of the bastard things of the children and grandchildren of those governors, all of which are how they are rampant and domineering in the states and towns under the jurisdiction of various places, oppressing the good and the good.

The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and the position of the governor is like that of the soil emperor of the state town, and the state decree has become useless, and in them, the order of the governor is more deterrent than the monarch's order.

This was a major scourge of the imperial court - the scourge of the military town.

It's just that the Northern Wei Dynasty is now in a state of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and it is very necessary for this group of generals to go to the battlefield to defend the country and kill the enemy bravely.

When Chen Laohan heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly spoke out to admonish Hongyu, and said:

"This little brother, I can't say this, I can't say it!"

Hongyu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and has always been at the forefront of resisting the northern Turks, what battles have not been seen, what dangers have not been experienced, she is a military general honed on the battlefield by real bloody wars, and the group of marching commanders who can only be greedy for merit and rewards, eroded by wealth and nobility, and will be afraid of the end of the march when the battle starts.

"If they dare to do it, they are afraid that others will not be able to say it, this is the capital division, not the state and town under their jurisdiction, so they can't afford to come here!"

Listening to Hongyu's tone, if that group of chaotic Taibao dared to spread wild here, even if Jing Zhaoyin didn't care, she Hongyu would teach that group of chaotic demon kings a good lesson, and let them know what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!

"Ruby ......"

The princess shook her head slightly, signaling Hongyu not to continue, but her tone was full of care, as if she was afraid of touching the sad past of Ziyu and Hongyu.

Ruby was silent.

The princess smiled at Chen Laohan and bowed slightly, Chen Laohan knew it in his heart, and also smiled and bowed back, made a letter of invitation, let the guests feel free, and then turned around and went busy.

"The husband and man, standing up to the sky and the earth, throwing a pen from Rong, and going into battle to kill the enemy, is to protect the family and the country and protect the people. Haven't they seen with their own eyes the terrible scenes of soldiers in chaos, burning, killing, looting, and ambushing corpses for thousands of miles?"

After speaking, Hongyu's face showed a slightly sad look, and even Ziyu, who had always been lively, suddenly fell silent......

I felt that these words might have something to do with the life experiences of Ziyu and Hongyu, and seeing that they both looked sad, and the princess couldn't bear it, but she didn't know what words to use to comfort her, the atmosphere instantly became dead.

"That's right, Hongyu is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, which makes me admire!"

I smiled slightly, this statement came from the bottom of my heart, and there was no clever word to flatter.

Sitting here, there are three military generals, one Wenchen, all of whom are the best in the individual, but they are all women. What kind of epic chance can this be such a coincidence?

"Don...... Hongyu thanked Gongzi for his kind words and comfort!"

Hongyu noticed that the atmosphere was different, she was originally going out with the princess to play, how could she let the princess go out and return happy!

This is not a good word, but I suddenly remembered a sentence in Han Feizi's book: Confucianism violates the law with literature, and chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts. I would like to know which one is more dangerous than the one that violates the law in writing?"

I said this, just a casual question, I didn't expect everyone to hear this, their expressions were different, even the princess seemed to look at me with an expression that thought I was messing up, I coughed twice, and then the opportunity to drink tea avoided the princess's burning gaze.

I can hide my mind from others, but I can't hide it from the princess.

I have the heart to cut off the governors of the states and towns, and the princess must have this intention, the governors of the states and towns are mostly military generals, so they can go to the battlefield to fight, but dealing with the government affairs of a state and town is not the same thing as fighting, if there is no love for the people like a son, it will only govern the state and town more chaotic, not to mention, they support the army one by one, and it is also a great threat to the royal family.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and we all have to wait and see what happens......

"You, you don't want to be in trouble, do you?"

How do you know, Ziyu's idea is biased, and she suddenly shoots the case, and there are no rules, pointing to me in the future.

I squirted a sip of tea on the ground, and gave Ziyu a thumbs up with a smile and cough, and finally gasped for breath, and said:

"Ziyu, you are so smart, you can see this!"

"Ah, Gong...... Young lady, look at him, he, he actually dares to ......"

Ziyu was already so angry that she couldn't speak smoothly, and Hongyu beside her frowned, and after thinking for a while, she seemed to understand the deep meaning of my words, and couldn't help but have bright eyes, as if there was a dawn ahead, which showed that she had been looking forward to cutting off the governor of the state town.

"Alright, alright, don't mess around!"

As she spoke, the princess took out a silk silk to help me wipe the tea stains off my clothes, and I let the princess wipe it for me, and the smile on the corner of my mouth became thicker.

"Eh~ This is not nonsense, have you ever heard the allusion of eliminating the three evils everywhere? Isn't that also one of the three evils? It can be seen that this wicked person still has to be grinded by the wicked!"

Looking at Ziyu's little face that was flushed with anger, I smiled and took the princess's hand and said:

"Besides, if I really have the day when I will cause trouble, won't there be your young lady who can clean me up!"

Yes, if there is such a day, she will not let me go!

The princess's hand paused for a moment, and there was no speech, and Ziyu seemed to sense something, and stopped talking, because Ziyu seemed to see a sad look flash on the princess's face......

I squeezed the princess's hand slightly, smiled and met her gentle gaze, I wanted to reassure her, I wanted her to know: as long as she is by my side, I will not make a mistake!

The princess also held my hand tightly, and her eyes wandered, as if in response, but also in promise, she would always stay by my side, well, watch me!

"Haha, okay, no kidding, Ziyu girl will go with me, I want to see how delicious the almond peach crisp of Wufangzhai is, and it can be so praised. Madam, wait here for a while, husband, come when you go!"

He stroked the princess's hand so that she could be reassured.

The princess knew that I must have heard from Ziyu that she liked to eat peach cakes, so she changed her way to buy it to please her, and besides, there was Ziyu along the way, so she was relieved, so she nodded.

Seeing that I still know how to please the princess, Ziyu nodded with a teachable appearance, and naturally was willing to go with me.

With the princess's consent, I reluctantly let go of the princess's hand and explained to Hongyu, saying:

"Hongyu, the young lady will leave it to you. ”

Hongyu nodded solemnly and said, "

"Don't worry, Childe!"

I smiled slightly, and under the gaze of the princess and Ruby, I followed Ziyu to the end of the street......
