Chapter 19 Chu Capital Anyang
At the beginning of the month, the carriage arrived at Yanbo Station and met Song Yuan.
Then he went north with the Hibiscus class, and after a leisurely walk for more than a month, he finally arrived in Anyang, Kyoto in June. After saying goodbye to the Furong Ban at the city gate, the carriage entered the city.
"Miss, this is Anyang?" Compared with the indifferent reading at the beginning of the month, Xiao Xiao opened the car window excitedly and kept looking, "It's much better than ours." But I saw that the streets were wide, and there were many merchants on the streets, and there were many people coming and going.
There will be time to take a closer look, but seeing the shouting ahead, pedestrians have avoided to the sides, and Fauber also hurried to see the carriage rushing to the side of the road, and a group of soldiers and horses hurried by.
"What's going on? Why are so many soldiers and horses dangling on the streets? Xiao shouted softly. The passers-by on the side listened and replied: "What can you do, raid the house." "It doesn't look weird.
"Raiding the house?" Xiao Xiao's eyes widened slightly, "Hey, this little brother, whose house is this copying?" Such a big battle? ”
The pedestrian turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao in the car: "You guys are from out of town, right?" This battle is not a big battle. When Xiao Xiao heard this, he became interested, and was about to ask again, but he was pulled back by Aunt Gui, "Xiao Xiao, don't come to Anyang, we just came to Anyang." ”
When Xiao Xiao heard this, he pursed his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything more, glanced at the beginning of the month, and smiled: "Miss, where are we going next?" Do you go directly to Xufu? ”
At the beginning of the month, he was slightly shocked, stroked the book, lowered his eyes and said: "Find an inn to stay first, and then submit a famous post to Hangzhou Mansion tomorrow."
"Huh? Miss, we are going to Xufu to find someone, not Hangzhou. Xiao Xiao said confusedly.
"I know." At the beginning of the month, he covered the book and rubbed his eyes, "But we are not familiar with the place when we first arrived in Anyang, so I am afraid that it is not good to come to the door rashly, here, I know Aunt Lan." ”
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and said, "Then let's go directly to the inn?" ”
At the beginning of the month, he paused a little and said, "Then you can take a detour to Xufu first." ”
Xiao Xiao pursed his lips and smiled: "Oh, okay." Miss. So saying, he jumped out of the carriage. It didn't take long for me to find out, and the Xu Mansion was at the end of Changsheng Street, not far away.
Then Fauber drove the carriage again and went to Changsheng Street. Coming to the end of the street, at the beginning of the month, I lifted the curtain, and saw two tall locust trees planted at the door of Xufu from a distance, the crown of the tree was like an umbrella cover, it was summer, and there were bunches of locust flowers hanging on the branches, white and green, and you could smell the fragrance of flowers from afar. The blue tile and white wall, the vermilion gate looks very noble, and there are two big characters of "Xu Mansion" written on it.
"Miss, Miss, I didn't expect this Xu Mansion to look so magnificent, it seems that the master has set a good family affair for Miss." Xiao Xiao said in surprise.
Moon smiled and lowered the curtain, "Okay, don't look at it." Fauber, let's go. ”
"Hey, okay." Fauber was also overjoyed when he saw it, and he couldn't help but raise his voice as he deserved.
The carriage went out of Changsheng Street, and after walking for a while, he invested in a small but neat inn, which was divided into two floors, upstairs for guests, and downstairs for some restaurant business.
The shopkeeper is a warm-hearted lady, I heard that they first arrived in Anyang with two girls, while asking the guy to arrange a cleaner guest room, while talking about some fun and things to pay attention to.
After going upstairs and arranging it was almost dinner, at the beginning of the month, he and the Fubo family were ready to go downstairs for dinner, only to see that the downstairs was already full of guests.
"Aunt Feng, do you still have a place to sit?" Xiao Xiao saw the lady of the store who was greeting diners not far away, and waved her hand.
Aunt Feng looked around, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm really sorry, there are a lot of people now, there is no clean place to sit, if you don't mind, there is a place in the middle where the guests have finished eating, I will let the guy clean up." ”
Xiao Xiao looked at it, there was indeed a diner in the middle who had already eaten, and it looked like he was ready to leave, but there were people sitting next to each other at the table, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and was about to speak, when Aunt Feng said, "Why don't you go up and rest for a while, and wait for a while when there are fewer people and come down to eat?" ”
"It's okay, just that place, thank you Aunt Feng." The moon smiled and said. Aunt Feng said happily after hearing this: "Okay, I'll let someone make room for you now." As he spoke, he turned sideways and went away.
"Miss, it's so crowded there, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable sitting." Xiao said.
Yue Yue smiled: "I was called by your Miss Miss all day long, am I really as delicate as that Miss, but just have a meal, it's not in the way." As he spoke, he led Xiao Xiao over.
"The Ji family was copied this time, I think it may be that Xiao Xiang has been provoked" As soon as I sat down, I heard the diners at the next table talking about the court. Xiao stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Miss, but the one that was copied when we came?" ”
At the beginning of the month, he raised his eyebrows and made a silent gesture, "Eat us, don't speak." "After this, the guy will serve the noodle soup.
"I guess so, I heard that Xu Shu, the secretary of the court department, is still arguing for him, but you also know, hehe, this kind of thing will not have their second grade to speak when they reach the level of the first assistant." Another diner chimed in.
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Miss." At the beginning of the month, there was a noticeable pause, but he didn't speak, and he still buried himself in eating noodles.
"Isn't there Su Xiang to protect you? I heard that Su Xiang values this newly promoted official secretary very much. Someone else said.
"Then it also depends on who the other person is. They have been fighting for so long, even if the queen mother's surname is Su, the queen's surname is still Xiao. Besides, the emperor is about to become pro-government, and I estimate that this Su family may be about to fall. ”
"So this officialdom is Xuan. Although he is rich, he may not be able to lose his head suddenly tomorrow. It's a pity that Miss Ji Er's talent is famous, I heard that Zheng and He are waiting for the first list, so they will buy her back to be a slave. ”
"Hehe, look at you still want to buy official slaves like that, but you may not be able to buy it if you have money." Someone scoffed.
"I didn't say I wanted to buy it, but it's a pity that the good beauty let the two gentlemen look at it, it would be nice if young talents such as Xu Yushi could buy it, eh, didn't he say that his father argued for the Ji family in the court?"
"Then Xu Yushi and Miss Ji Er are not related to each other, and they don't want her talent, what are you buying her for? Ji Shilang deserves to commit this crime, this kind of thing is to avoid suspicion, I guess the Xu family will not come out to buy it. ”
A few people chatted with each other, but Xiao Xiao on the side couldn't sit still, turned his head and asked, "This little brother, who is the Xu Yushi you just said?" ”
A few people were stunned, and saw Xiao Xiao's sincere appearance, since someone asked, he naturally talked about it proudly: "That Xu Yushi is naturally Xu Shiheng, the son of Xu Shu, the secretary of the ministry, to be honest, among the officials and scholars in Beijing, what I admire the most is him, seven years old Fu poem and ten-year-old composition, sixteen officials worship the school scholar, obviously can be shaded into the office, but he should be lifted." Many Qing scholars in the capital were willing to make friends with him. ”
"If you want to talk about him, he can be regarded as a model among his peers." The man on the side interjected.
Xiao Xiao smiled when he heard this, "That's the case, a few sons can praise it like this, it can be seen that Xu Yushi is indeed an outstanding person." However, a few sons can praise others like this, which shows that they are also unrestrained and arrogant people. ”
When a few people heard Xiao Xiao's praise like this, they couldn't help but be a little fluttering, so they talked about it again.
