Chapter 2 Searching for relatives in Chang'an

Qing'er took the carriage of the business traveler, wandering between the mountains and rivers, every place she passed, it was a different scenery for her, she liked the small bridge and flowing water, liked the smoke house, liked the lofty mountains, rippling between the mountains and waters.

Qing'er sat on the carriage of the car, looking into the distance, with the joy of the carriage, what appeared in front of her was a different picture, which really verified the "one step and one scene, one scene and one feeling" taught by her father since childhood. Enjoying a different kind of business trip, enjoying every moment of life.

Imagining the future, Qing'er is still confused, her uncle lives at No. 52 Changshou Street, which is the memory that her father described to her since she was a child. Qing'er remembered the past: My father also has a different kind of affection for this brother, and he often talks about it, so I remember it vividly. If it weren't for the distance, my father would have walked around twice for three days, but the distance was too far, and the last time my father visited my uncle was a few years ago. As for me, my father was afraid that I was too young to bear the bumps in the road, and I never saw my uncle at that time, no matter how much I cried. I don't know, will he recognize me? What does my future hold? What am I going to do? Countless questions along the way, I pondered.

After more than ten days of turbulence, Qing'er finally came to Chang'an. Walking in Chang'an City, facing the qiē in front of him, Qing'er was full of infinite novelty. It is worthy of being a magnificent capital that has gone through more than ten generations, and it is worthy of being the largest city in the world. Chang'an City is magnificent in scale, rigorous in layout, symmetrical in structure, and neatly arranged; Suzaku Street, which runs through the north and south, is flat and open, about 150 meters wide, and divides Chang'an City into two parts, east and west, with a commercial district in the east and west, the east and west markets. On both sides of the street are neat commercial streets, displaying a variety of dazzling goods, some of which Qing'er has seen before, and some of which are full of novelty.

Looking at the qiē here, in the middle of this magnificent and vast city, Qing'er feels so small.

"That's 52 Changshou Street." A passerby said.

Qing'er followed the guidance of passers-by and saw a dilapidated courtyard. The vermilion gate had long since lost its former glory, and barren weeds grew on the edge of the ruined walls, shaking in the wind; A worn-out lantern rolled in the wind, making a screeching sound, and came to a halt in front of a majestic stone lion; The dusty stone lion sits there thick and steady, telling about its former glory. Qing'er stared blankly, stunned.

"Girl, don't look at it, it's long gone. The family moved out a few years ago. Many years ago, he was a wealthy businessman, but why did his business fail and become poor. The passerby said, shaking his head and sighing.

"Uncle, do you know where they moved to?"

"I don't know, I've moved away a long time ago." With that, passers-by turned and left.

Qing'er stood there alone for a long, long time. I thought: A series of plans for the future have changed, where will I go, where should I go in Chang'an City, Nuoda. I pondered in a daze. In these short ten days, I have lost a lot, and the moment I put on my bridal clothes and tied them into a sedan chair, my heart was broken and I was desperate, but more painful was the betrayal of my dearest people to me. I stood there dumbfounded. Suddenly, my father's smiling face appeared in front of me, and the smile was so kind and warm. He once smiled and said, "My daughter has a persistent man's heart!" How can a man in this world be compared! ”。 I'm on my own! Now I am a new me, and what is the past cloud.

After making up her mind, Qing'er's steps were relaxed and cheerful. I thought: It's okay, I still have some silver, not a poor ghost! I'm going to have a good meal with my money, and then I'm going to get some sleep, and then I'm going to get a good job!" After making up her mind, Qing'er looked at the sky with a smile, that smile was confident and domineering.

"Shangpinju", the name is good, that's it! Qing'er walked in slowly, and Xiao Er greeted her warmly, looking Qing'er's clothes up and down with both eyes, and her attitude was extremely groveling. Suddenly, Qing'er remembered that she was wearing the dress given by the overlord, and thought: People really rely on clothes!

Qing'er was led to a good private seat and sat down.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Girl, what do you want to have?" ”

Qing'er asked urgently, "What signature dishes do you have?" "Because I'm so hungry.

Xiao Er said: "Our signature dishes are: steamed abalone, braised prawns, stewed pork ribs......

I saw Xiao Er smiling all over his face, and he recited aloud excitedly and confidently.

"Stop! Don't say it! Pick up the ones in front and have four or five things! Qing'er stopped and said. I thought: This signature dish close to the front, after all, is the face of the store, the characteristics of the store, although it will be more expensive, it should also be the best; Besides, I'm so hungry! I don't have time to listen to Xiao Er's ramblings.

"That's good! The taste of this capital is indeed good! But our Yangzhou cuisine is not bad! It can only be said that each has its own characteristics. Qing'er muttered to herself while eating. After a while, I ate cleanly.

"Little Er, check out!"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Girl, a total of fifty taels of silver!" ”

Qing'er hurriedly took out the money bag, poured out all the money, counted out fifty taels, and then looked at the only three taels of silver left on the table. After Xiao Er took fifty taels, he glanced at Qing'er with contempt.

Hum! Act like a snob! Fortunately, there are three taels left, not three taels missing. It's time to find a job!

Qing'er suddenly remembered what the cold-faced overlord entrusted him to do.

After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the door of the ancient Athenian pawnshop on Changle Street, and Qing'er walked in.

"Excuse me, girl, are you going to be a thing?" A junior came out with a smile.

"As for your king's treasurer, someone asked me to bring him something, saying that he would personally hand it over to your king's treasurer." Qing'er looked at the ancient Athenian pawnshop and said slowly.

"Looks like you're here!" In the inner room, a middle-aged man slowly walked out. He has a calm demeanor and a leisurely demeanor.

Qing'er said, "Are you the king's shopkeeper?" ”

"It's exactly under it!"

"Someone asked me to give this to you, saying you'll understand when you see it." Qing'er handed over the jade wrench.

Shopkeeper Wang gently took the jade wrench, "Oh! With a sigh, his demeanor was calm, and he looked the girl in front of him up and down, his eyes squinting slightly, as if he was thinking.

"Now that the items have been brought, the king's shopkeeper, then, I will take my leave!" Qing'er said and bowed.

"Okay, then, thank you girl for your help!" The king's shopkeeper also gave him a gift.

Qing'er quickly walked out and stepped into Chang'an Street
