Chapter 969: Refusing to Leave
You'anmen, Yongdingmen, Zuo'anmen.
Seeing that a handsome and elegant young man rode his horse back and forth between the three gates of the outer city, wasting at least a quarter of an hour, not only did many officials and civilians who entered or left the city turn back frequently, but the soldiers guarding the city naturally would also pay attention to vigilance.
However, the young Xiao Langjun was not alone, and when the person began to go around the second circle, several guards had already followed, and after a while, a gorgeous boy who was clearly dressed as a woman and a man also chased after him.
In the face of such a situation, the ridicule and ridicule that would have been pronounced are naturally a little more restrained.
And for the guards of the city gate with the sharpest eyes, when they recognized that it was the guard entourage of the Zhao State Mansion, they immediately withdrew with knowledge and interest. When they recognized the accompanying men's beauty as if she was the eldest lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion, they only dared to glance at the little Langjun quietly from time to time.
The gossip that had been popular in the capital for a while a few days ago was like a dark tide under the calm water, quietly surging between them. Not long after, among all the guards of the three major gates outside the capital, a piece of news spread completely.
The prospective aunt of the Zhao Guogong Mansion has entered Beijing!
Zhang Shou didn't care that he was regarded as a countryman who entered Beijing for the first time, anyway, he was indeed from the countryside. Moreover, today Wu did not agree to go to Beijing together, and he was not afraid of being nagged by his mother because of this countryman-like humiliating behavior.
Thinking that the Yongding Gate Tower is almost exactly the same as that rebuilt in later generations, and thinking of the Zuo'anmen and You'anmen whose names are so familiar that they can't be more familiar, he can't help but sigh infinitely.
is not the world of the Zhu family, but the country name is called Ming.
It is not the capital of the Zhu family, but the three city gates still have such names, and the Yongding Gate is almost reproduced.
And the next three gates of the inner city, the name should be the same as he imagined.
Sure enough, when he came to the inner city wall along the busy streets, he entered the city through the Chongwen Gate without accident.
This time, seeing the other villagers entering the city accompanied by Zhu Hong, he couldn't help but think of the information he got when he chatted with Zhu Ying these days.
Emperor Taizu started from the vigorous White Lotus Uprising, became Han Shantong's son-in-law, and after conquering the world, he directly set the capital of Yuan Dadu and set the name of the country Ming......
And the folk rumors did not violate the ban of the imperial court, and even Taizu preached this matter to the military and civilians from the first day of his accession to the throne.
"Ashou. ”
While looking at the buildings on both sides of Chongwenmen Inner Street with great interest, while thinking about this information quickly, Zhang Shou suddenly heard Zhu Ying's voice in his ears, and immediately turned his head sideways.
"Mishi Street is just north of Dongdan Pailou, just let Zhu Hong accompany everyone to go. There are all shops collecting grain and rice, and with him, I don't think those black-hearted traders will dare to lower the price. ”
Habitually despising profiteers, Zhu Ying raised her head and asked generously, "Can you accompany me home?"
After pondering for a while, Zhang Shou nodded, and then shook his head again: "Of course Zhao Guogong Mansion is going to go, but I think it's better to go and meet the teacher first." I asked Lu Sanlang to take care of the Cuiyun room for me, and I heard that Zhang Lu and a few of them printed the manuscript of the teacher I passed to them. And of course the most important thing is ......"
Seeing that Zhu Ying was even a little inexplicably nervous, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't go to your house empty-handed, right?"
promised Zhu Ying to go to Beijing together, Zhang Shou already had such a psychological preparation. However, visiting the Zhao Guogong Mansion for the first time on the first day of entering Beijing, this meaning is still different.
There is a way that the hairy son-in-law has to carry a big bag for the first time, if he comes to the door for the first time, what will he send?
Could it be that you pick a few horses left behind by the rebel army in the coastal camp and borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha?
He didn't realize that he, who was quite resistant to the so-called marriage contract and tried to keep his distance from Zhu Ying, his fiancée, now has a faint mentality of a quasi-son-in-law...... Qiandu Chinese Network
Zhu Ying was immediately overjoyed, and then said with a smile: "Grandmother never cares about these small sections. Besides, what's there to worry about about this little thing, I'll just ask someone to prepare a four-color gift box......"
"Don't!" Zhang Shou was startled, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it, "Gifts can be given lightly and affectionately, but chargé d'affaires are absolutely not." You go with me to prepare a gift for the teacher first, and then go back and see what gift you have for your grandmother. ”
"Good. ”
As a poor person, the last time the lady of Zhao Guogong's Mansion sent a valuable gift, but he only returned worthless things such as new rice and vegetables, although Zhang Shou was a little embarrassed, but think about it from childhood to adulthood, all of them are eaters and employers, no matter how big the favor is, the first gift is naturally not intended to blindly ask for preciousness.
And now that he went to see Ge Yong, the teacher, he didn't want to buy anything valuable. There are a lot of good things in the bundle of repairs that those sons and brothers gave him, but Ge Yong has been an official for so many years, and he has to look at these to have ghosts.
A few days ago, I learned from Zhu Ying that the old man likes sweets, and he specially asked Aunt Liu to make two boxes of osmanthus cakes last night.
Zhu Ying had people loot the Sheqian tea from Zhao Guogong's mansion before, and he brought more than half of the inventory in cans.
Ge Yong left him an arithmetic manuscript, and after reading it, he made a thick notebook, which he also brought with him when he went to Beijing this time.
At this time, he and Zhu Ying walked around a bookstore specially introduced by Lu Sanlang, and collected the books signed by Ge Yong that had just been freshly released today. In this kind of crowded place, whether it is Zhu Ying or him, it is a beautiful scenery for the two of them to stand alone, not to mention that the two of them stand side by side, and from time to time they exchange their experience of buying books as if nothing happened.
So, in the small bookstore, there were more and more customers buying books, and in the end, they were shoulder to shoulder, and countless eyes glanced at the two guests, and the guy who was excited because of this suddenly hot business did not pay attention to the two people who laughed and groaned at a very outrageous price when checking out.
A six-volume book, half a money.
And what the original price was, Zhu Ying didn't know, and of course Zhang Shou didn't know.
When Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying picked out the books, each holding three books in their hands, and both came out of the bookstore, the Zhu family's guards had to work hard to squeeze out of the crowd outside the door.
In contrast, Ah Liu only moved his shoulders slightly, and he was the first to step forward with agility, first taking the book in Zhang Shou's hand, and then taking Zhu Ying's.
Zhu Ying was empty, and found that the door of the store was actually full of people, she couldn't help complaining: "Uncle Hua is too, Cheng Tianshen is a ghost, he didn't show up before, this time I entered Beijing and he wanted to stay in Rongshui Village, it's really weird!"
"Masters naturally have character. Besides, there are Ah Liu!" Zhang Shou said with a smile, seeing that the big girls and little daughters-in-law around him obviously heard Zhu Ying's woman's voice, but they still refused to leave, but because of this, many men surrounded them, and they suddenly had a headache. However, what he never expected was that Zhu Ying suddenly stepped forward.
"Excuse me, my family Langjun is going home with me to meet the elders, and I won't be able to catch lunch if it's too late!"
“......”
Zhang Shou saw a large group of people with disappointment in their eyes, plus the guards of the Zhao Guogong Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to pick up people, and some of the men who had just crowded behind were quickly dispersed by the retreating women, and when he finally joined the Zhu family guards and rode on the horse, he finally couldn't help but look at Zhu Ying again.
"When did I become your family? I didn't mean to go to the teacher first......
"It's to see Grandpa Ge, but he's not just your elder, that's also my elder!" Zhu Ying smiled lightly, "Besides, you were raised by my father, not my family?"
That's a good point......
Unable to fight with the eldest lady anymore, Zhang Shou had no choice but to go on the road. After all, if Zhu Ying didn't lead the way, he would have to ask all the way where his teacher's home was.
Along the way, when he finally turned into a wide street, he saw a large stone archway along the street, and there were at least five or six of them. He asked curiously, and Zhu Ying on the side explained to him with a smile.
"Grandpa Ge has a lot of fame, and the court has a lot of praise, and he is a native of Beijing, so this archway is a scene in Beijing. But all those who come to the capital to participate in various imperial examinations will come here to take a walk and get a touch of Grandpa Ge's immortal spirit. ”
