Chapter 33: The Return of the West Gate
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, in the long pavilion ten miles outside Chang'an City, the Xu family who had already received Wang Chang's letter stood and were waiting to go back with them, so as to complete the "big lie" that Wang Chang did.

"Where's the third uncle?" The Xu family looked behind Wang Yan, they were all people who were not familiar with each other, and they didn't see the figure of the third uncle Wang Luo.
Wang Yan shook her head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Third brother, he has nothing to do, teach me to greet everyone safely, and I will be able to come back next year." ”
Xu Shi was surprised, but caught a glimpse of Liu Sheng who was standing not far behind her, because she didn't know who it was, so she had to nod her head and didn't ask Wang Yan carefully.
"Now you have to be carefully inspected when you enter Chang'an, and it may take some time to wait." Xu Shi Dao.
"The plague?" Wang asked.
"Yes," Xu sighed and said, "Now there is panic in Chang'an, and after this plague is suppressed, there will be a big change in officialdom." ”
Wang Yan smiled lightly and nodded. Although the plague is big this time, it will be quickly suppressed if there is no accident. It's just that the occurrence and handling of this matter, whether it is for the court or the whole world, is like a drop of water falling into a deep pool.
"So, through which door are we going to enter?" Wang Yan turned to Liu Sheng and asked.
"White Beast Gate." Liu Sheng said without hesitation.
"Okay," Wang Yan nodded, and without asking why, she turned around and said solemnly to Xu, "Sixth sister-in-law, let others follow, don't be too casual." ”
"Of course I know that." Xu Shi hesitated, but still smiled.
In fact, it stands to reason that they go to the East Gate Qinglong Gate or the South Gate Zhuque Gate, which is better than the West Gate White Tiger Gate, after all, the west side is mostly small people in the market, and there are many people, which is not suitable for such a large group of people, especially with female dependents. Now that the plague is rife, the danger is even greater in the west.
According to the Xu family, the only advantage of going to the West Gate is that they are the closest to the West Gate right now. But Wang Yan is not the kind of short-sighted person, she can believe that Lang Jun, Xu Shi looked at it, and there was indeed a bit of extraordinary bearing, a faint bit of tiger and wolf posture, so he didn't say more. Tell a small servant to ride a horse and go quickly, so that the king may know and make some preparations.
"Why didn't the sixth brother follow?"
After the two got into the carriage, Wang Yan asked softly.
"Mother asked him to go to the village to deal with some things, so let me come to you first." Xu said helplessly.
"Which villager?" Wang Yan was puzzled for a while, and couldn't help but ask repeatedly, "When did it happen?" It's the end of the year, and it's a big and small thing? ”
Xu shook his head and said with a little amusement: "Now you are very concerned about this, is it possible to teach your mother what she said, grow up?" ”
"I asked the sixth brother well, but the sixth sister-in-law came to tease me, so unreasonable." Wang Yan was laughed at by Xu for a while.
"When you ask me to come, you want to make me angry. I don't know why, your sixth brother is going to coax me, and I prevaricate so much that I don't know anything yet, just like a real child like me. Xu Shi looked unhappy and said angrily.
Ha! Wang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Xu family is indeed reassuring in some places. However, the sixth brother's behavior is not as usual. Wang Yan secretly raised her heart, and the things in her previous life quickly turned in her mind, but it was disappointing, she was indeed too young in her last life, and she was too careless.
But suddenly remembered the incident in Meizhuang, I don't know if there is anything involved, if so, the sixth brother doesn't explain it to the sixth sister-in-law, but it makes sense. However, what can a student like Sixth Brother who is still studying in the academy find out. Wang Yan shook her head secretly, this kind of thing, if it is pinned on the sixth brother, there is not much hope. According to his mother's temper, he would not be allowed to worry about such a thing.
And Xu's biggest, child-like temperament, is forgetfulness. If Wang Yan didn't mention it, maybe Xu didn't remember it, and when she mentioned it again, it seems that for a while, if Wang Yan doesn't find a topic, this carriage will be "cloudy".
"How are Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu doing recently?" Wang asked.
"I've been in good health." Xu Shi was not interested.
"What about the rest of the family?"
"They're still doing their usual things."
"How's my cousin?"
"Good."
"What does the teacher say?"
"Very smart."
……
"Did you go to the academy this time?"
"Nature." Xu was listlessly following the sheepskin fur spread out in the car, suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly: "Guess who I saw?" ”
Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally reached this beat.
This person who excites her, she doesn't have to guess, in her previous life, she was already like a thunderous and well-known ideological reformer, Mr. Funayama. It happened that she traveled to Bailu Academy, so that Xu Shi could see it, and she also saved her previous life After she knew about it, she kept complaining in her ear.
Xu and himself are both curious and the most rebellious characters in the family, so they naturally have infinite affection and longing for the most popular figures in the reform matter. After all, it is a young man.
When the group came to the city gate, they finally finished the long queue.
Wang Yan suddenly saw that among the people who greeted him, in addition to the steward, there was also a big acquaintance, Sun Shaozu!
Suddenly, the happy mood of going home seems to be stirred up with a layer of ****, well, making people feel sick.
Wang Yan narrowed her eyes, somehow in this life, this Sun Shaozu was much more attentive. Could it be that he didn't marry as honestly as before, which made him panic? Thinking of this, Wang Yan sneered to herself, how could she be so arrogant, the Wang family's huge family, after he gained power, he would be harmful. This kind of person, I'm afraid that now, it's just to get a trick in front of her father and mother, so that she can be promoted.
"Hey, isn't that Sun Jialangjun?" Xu also saw it, and hurriedly pulled Wang Yan quietly.
A sense of excitement to see the excitement came to Wang Yan.
Very weak, Wang Yan felt that this day was obviously hanging in winter, why was it so hot, making people so irritable.
Inadvertently, I saw Liu Sheng's slightly frowning brows, and I felt a little strange in my heart. Why have these two people met before? Although the Sun family and Liu Sheng are in the south, one east and one west, Sun Shaozu came to Chang'an a few years ago, how can it be involved?
When Sun Shaozu saw Liu Sheng, his expression did not change, or rather, he didn't pay attention to him at all, and greeted Wang Yan and his sixth sister-in-law when he came up.
"After a long journey, my sister-in-law took care of it." looked at Wang Yan with a doting look.
The tone was as if she had become a member of the Sun family. Besides, the two of them haven't met a few times, don't be so familiar! Wang Yan wanted to immediately snatch the whip from the coachman's hand, knock over his face full of hypocrisy, and also thought that she had soiled the coachman's whip and dirty her own chariot and horse.
But I also had to talk to him a little bit, and said, "You have also worked hard, standing here to greet you." "The sense of alienation is fully evident, and it is very polite.
