Chapter 14: Brother and Sister Meet
The three-character pen walks the dragon and snake, very strong and powerful, the high city wall, like an old man who has looked at the old man for thousands of years, has a story, but also has vicissitudes, but also indifferent and ruthless completely isolate people from the city gate.
When the carriage travels a little further, you can clearly see that the three characters are carved into the stone, and then painted with the white ash, which is clearly eye-catching, and in some places the white ash has fallen due to the erosion of the years.
The city wall is even more so, and the low places have black marks, and there are small holes in the surface of the stone, which must have been weathered.
On the city wall, at intervals stood a man with a weapon, expressionless, completely undisturbed by the city wall.
For it was already dawn, and many people were waiting in line at the gates of the city to enter the city.
I have sent someone to inform Yan Ruchi and Yan Rucheng before, and I think I should be coming to pick it up soon.
The carriage stopped at the side of the city gate, and Hongying curiously wanted to lift the curtain, but was glared at by Luzhu warningly.
"An An is waiting here, when you first come to the capital, don't make jokes." Yan Rumeng was already wearing a thick raccoon dog at this time, and a big red cloak with white fluff was draped outside.
The Jiangnan girl's skin is ruddy and delicate, and the erected big red plush collar wraps the entire neck of Yan Rumeng, setting off the little face more and more delicate, more and more beautiful and moving.
Listening to the noisy sound outside, Hongying could only sit down peacefully, bowing her head and not speaking.
After a while, listening to the sound of the big horse's hooves, from far to near, he stopped outside the car.
I only heard someone outside shouting, "Daddy, mother." ”
Hearing this, Yan Rumeng straightened her hair, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and looked at the carriage curtain in front of her.
In the next moment, the curtain was lifted, and a man with a resolute face, looking like Yan Shouren, but with a bookish anger between his eyebrows and eyes, came in, and the person who came was Yan Ruchi's big brother - Yan Ruchi.
This smoke is also angry, because he won the champion, and now he is serving in the Ministry of Rites in the capital. Although Yan Rucheng is not as good as Yan Ruchi, he is a good businessman, and he has greatly developed the business of tobacco families.
"Big brother!" Sweetly shouted.
After leaving Jiangnan for a long time, listening to the sound that is sweet to the heart and soft to melt, the mood is irrepressible excitement.
"Meng'er, it's finally here, big brother doesn't know how long I've been looking forward to it!" Yan Ruchi jumped into the carriage and sat next to Yan Rumeng.
"Big brother doesn't go home all year round, and the capital is far away from Jiangnan, even if I want to come to find my big brother, I don't dare to come." There was a bit of mischievous intercourse between the words.
When I first saw Yan Ruchi, Yan Rumeng always felt different, but I couldn't say what was different.
stared at Yan Ruchi, looked down from above, and finally came to a conclusion, "Big brother, I always feel that you have changed, and you are different from before." He shook his head, very puzzled.
Yan Ruchi was stunned, touched his face, and replied confusedly: "No, the big brother hasn't changed, the big brother is still the same big brother as before." ”
"Obviously, there is, the big brother has changed and become thinner." After speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed, and looked at Yan Ruchi with crooked eyebrows.
Yan Ruchi finally reacted, it turned out that this baby-like sister was teasing him, shook his head, patted Yan Rumeng's head with his hand, cleared his throat, and said very seriously: "Don't do this next time." ”
Although I want to pretend to be very serious, the corners of my mouth that have been raised lightly are exposed.
Yan Rumeng looked at him like that, moved over slightly, leaned his head slightly on Yan Ruchi's arm, and said coquettishly: "I know that the big brother of Lu Dao is the best for me." ”
Yan Ruchi looked at his sister who he hadn't seen for a long time, listening to the words that he had said many times, but his heart was also sweet.
With a long sigh, as if thinking of something, his brows were furrowed together, which made the black blue under him heavier, and he didn't know what he was worried about.
Yan Ru dreamed that his brother didn't speak, raised his head and looked over, only to find that the bloodshot in Yan Ruchi's eyes must have been sleeping for a long time, otherwise there would not be so much blood.
"Big brother, did something happen? Why is there so much bloodshot in the eye? ”
"It's okay, I just thought that you guys were coming soon, I couldn't sleep for a few days, and I was happy that our family would be together again in the future." lowered his head, looked at the smoke like a dream, squinted his eyes and said slowly.
The smoke was silent like a dream, staring at it for a while, as if he had not found any traces of lying, and only then did he talk about interesting things in Jiangnan.
The horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the city, far away from the city gates, the magnificent buildings close at hand, the noisy and lively street markets, all of which were dressed in different clothes, all of which were huge surprises for Yan Rumeng, but also a huge shock.
After the carriage drove for a while, the sound outside gradually became quieter, and Yan Rumeng opened the curtain and looked out, and found that the carriage had left the downtown area, and in front of it were prosperous and solemn houses.
In front of each house, there are almost two stone lions, but they are different in size.
"Big brother, where is this?"
Yan Ruchi looked at the gap and said, "This is Changning Street, most of which are inhabited by the nobles of the palace, and some of the mansions rewarded by the emperor are also on this street. The mansion I lived in before had to go some distance inside. ”
As he spoke, the carriage turned in one direction, and in an instant it was another scene.
As far as the eye can see, the houses are shorter than the ones in front, but the style is exactly the same as that of Jiangnan.
Yan Rumeng didn't expect that there were Jiangnan buildings in the capital, and he said.
"Be amazed! I was also taken aback when I came. ”
The capital is in the north, and the north is cold and short of water, and most of the houses are compound courtyards, and the garden with small bridges and flowing water in the south is obviously not suitable.
"yes, I didn't expect that." Looking at the rows of houses wafting past in front of me, I only felt dazzled by the smoke like a dream.
Only the sound of wheels rolling could be heard in the quiet streets, and finally the carriage stopped in front of a gate.
got out of the carriage, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the familiar word "Yanfu", the big golden characters were shining in the sunlight, and he blocked the sun with his hand, "Big brother, the layout of this gate is similar to that of Jiangnan." ”
"I'm afraid you're not used to it, so when you repair it, you will repair it according to the layout of Jiangnan."
This new smoke house, although not as grand as the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not bad in the capital, after all, this is the capital, where the convergence point is always good, too public, but will attract unknown enemies.
This is Yan Shouren and Lin Wan'er also got out of the car and walked to Yan Rumeng's side, Yan Shouren looked at the room, nodded, and patted Yan Ruchi on the shoulder, "Good job!" I was steady. ”
The door had already opened, and the four of them walked in, looking at Yan Rumeng all the way, feeling both strange and familiar.
Familiar is that the layout is almost exactly the same as Jiangnan, and strangeness is that there are many small places in this Yanfu and they are all different, such as some flowers and trees, and the flowers that bloom in Jiangnan may not be able to live in the capital.
Although they are extremely similar, they are different in the end, Yan Rumeng sighed in his heart.
