Chapter 56: Hibiscus Lane
After having lunch in the Cen Mansion, Wei Han got up and said goodbye: "Chen'er, Shaoze, I'll go to Qin Zi'an to find out." ”
Cen Shaoze nodded: "Feel free to tell me if you have any news when you turn around." ”
Wei Han smiled at Xia Chen and said, "It's not that I'm looking for Chen'er, it's not that I can sue him directly." ”
Xia Chen hurriedly said: "Don't, I'm sneaking away, besides, if your Commander Wei comes to the academy or the Xia Mansion to look for me, I won't be targeted by countless pairs of eyes." ”
Wei Han shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not old, but my mind is careful enough." Well, there's news that I'll come to Shaoze and go! With that, he took off his clothes and strode away.
Cen Shaoze took Xia Chen to the study: "Chen'er, after a long time, I have been thinking about you, how is everything at home?" How are the people of Xia Mansion treating you? ”
Xia Chen looked at the books on the wall, walked up and replied while reading: "My grandmother's house is still the same, but Second Uncle Yao passed away, and Second Aunt Yao followed me to Xia's house." As for the people of Xia Mansion. She paused: "Grandmother loves me very much, and others naturally don't dare to slack off, it's good to eat and live." ”
Cen Shaoze sighed: "I didn't expect Second Uncle Yao to ...... However, what his body can withstand has long been at its limit. Then he was slightly surprised: "You said that Mrs. Yao also followed you to the Xia Mansion?" ”
"Well, I think she will be in a better mood if she changes the environment, and I can have a credible person by my side, so I invited her to come with me, but for the time being, I can only wronged her to be our hospital? The aunt of the housekeeper of the child. ”
Cen Shaoze said: "It's better for her to take care of you than others, and you won't really treat her as a servant, will you?" But Chen'er, you want to take charge of the Xia family again. It's not enough to keep your two cousins from being raw. Your eldest uncle is now a Sipin general, so you must not show half of your mind in front of him. "Ever since he learned that Xia Zhongyang was Xia Chen's great uncle, he had been paying attention. This person is attached to Qin Yan's party. However, he defeated a small group of Xuanguo robbers who robbed grain, killed 30 enemies and lost 100 people, and was said to be the "Hexi Great Victory" who killed hundreds of enemies and captured thousands of prisoners and was crowned by the emperor, which shows that he is not only a villain, but also very ambitious.
Xia Chen sat on the chair: "Brother Cen, don't worry, I won't be in a hurry at this time." Before I find out the situation of everyone in the Xia family, I will not act rashly. After all, I don't want a broken Xia family either. Therefore, you can't kill everyone completely. ”
Cen Shaoze said with relief: "It's good that you can think like this." ”
Xia Chen smiled and asked, "Brother Cen, how are you doing lately?" ”
Cen Shaoze shook his head and sighed: "What can I do, seeing that one by one Zhongliang was framed. But there was silence. ”
Xia Chen said: "Brother Cen, I heard that King Kang is a good prince, are you familiar with him?" ”
Cen Shaoze frowned: "I have a bit of friendship with King Kang, but I always feel that he is not as good as rumored." I can't see through him. ”
Xia Chen said: "If that's the case. Brother Cen must remember that no matter how important and crucial things are, you can't look for him. What happened on the shore of the lake before made her feel that King Kang didn't really love the people like a son, and it was clear that he could solve it as long as he showed up early, but he almost made a fuss to the point of dying.
Cen Shaoze smiled indifferently: "Brother Chen, don't worry about me, I won't trust him lightly." Then he stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk." ”
Xia Chen became interested when he heard this: "Where are you going?" ”
Cen Shaoze asked rhetorically: "Have you ever looked around since you came to Anyang?" ”
"Nope. I've only been to Ruixiang Street. ”
"Brother Chen likes to be lively?"
Xia Chen smiled: "It's okay, I just want to understand how the people in the capital live." I actually prefer to go sightseeing. ”
Saying that, the two of them had come to the courtyard of Cen Mansion, and Cen Shaoze pointed south: "You can go to Xiangye Mountain not far from the South City Gate, do you want to go?" ”
Xia Chen looked at the verdant mountains and said regretfully: "I heard that the scenery in the mountains is wonderful, but I can't see it today, I have to go back to the academy in more than an hour, and Brother Cen will take me there earlier another day." ”
"Okay, then I'll take you to the most lively Furong Lane in the south of the city first."
Before the establishment of Anyang, the capital of the Dayun Kingdom, the southeast of the city was the most prosperous area of Anyang. The celebrities and rich people of the whole city are concentrated here, because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is high and low in the middle. In short, it is a feng shui treasure land for gathering wealth.
Nowadays, most of the auspicious houses and treasures here are occupied by the government, and the merchants have moved to live elsewhere, but the original commercial street Furong Lane has been retained, and it is more busy. In this era of low status of merchants, this situation is not surprising, after all, no one wants to buy fish, meat, wine and food, they have to travel more than ten miles. Of course, this is just an analogy, everything that can be bought on Ruixiang Street can be bought here, and because of the improvement of the identity of the consumer group, the shopping environment and the grade of items have also risen a lot.
It is absolutely true that there are many lakes and many waters in Anyang, and Furong Lane is built right along the bank of a small river. The ancient people were absolutely strict in the planning of urban houses, although the river was curved, the shops were extremely neat, so in the wider area of the river, there were some pavilions scattered.
Xia Chen and Cen Shaoze rode slowly along the riverbank, and often saw a group of people gathered under a large tree to watch cockfights or crickets.
"Brother Cen, it turns out that people in Anyang City like this kind of activity, I don't understand what is so beautiful about two chickens or two insects." It's really boring enough, but it's obviously much kinder than ancient Rome, which makes people fight, Xia Chen thought crankily.
Cen Shaoze smiled: "There are usually bets. ”
Xia Chen suddenly said: "It turned out to be gambling money, so it's easier to understand." "From ancient times to the present, no matter how much human vision and interest have changed, eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling have always been the theme.
Walking and walking, Xia Chen saw a sea of flowers in the distance.
The pear blossoms are like snow cigarettes, and the begonias are full of buds. A makeup building is covered by the water, and the delicate beauty shines on Chanjuan. Xia Chen secretly admired and said, "Brother Cen, the flower forest in front is the end of Furong Lane, right?" ”
Cen Shaoze said: "Well, it's not too early, let's go back." ”
Xia Chen was a little surprised: "Brother Cen doesn't like to look at flowers, why don't you go and see such a beautiful place?" ”
Cen Shaoze was slightly embarrassed: "Didn't you say that you would return to the academy before school?" If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. I don't know how much more beautiful the flowers of Xiangye Mountain are than here, I'll take you there another day to see. ”
Xia Chen blinked his eyes: "Brother Cen, is this a difficult time to be a water Luo?" But I've only seen small rivers and lakes, and besides, my speed on horseback is okay, and I have time to do it. With that, she grabbed her horse's belly and galloped towards the land of flowers.
"Brother Chen, you can't go there......" Cen Shaoze shouted while chasing.
Xia Chen had already followed the road into the flower forest, and the fragrance of flowers and the flowers in front of her made her feel intoxicated. She slowed down and walked in for a short time, and realized that it was not full of flowers and trees, but rather a small park. Between the flowers and branches, you can not only see the small scenery of the small bridge and flowing water, but also see the people in the elegant pavilion drinking tea and playing the piano, and occasionally two or two figures of people passing by among the trees.
Cen Shaoze had already followed, and he suppressed his voice: "Brother Chen, this is not the place we should come. ”
Xia Chen smiled slyly: "Brother Cen, are you afraid of disturbing those people to talk about love?" "I didn't expect that in the country of Dayun, where the people are conservative, there would be such a place in the capital.
Cen Shaoze smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chen, come with me quickly, I'll talk to you later." ”
Xia Chen was suspicious, could it be that they trespassed on their private place? Seeing that Cen Shaoze was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, he felt that he had inadvertently caused him some trouble, so he turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go, Brother Cen." As if she had discovered something, she turned her head to look at the gilt plaque of the carved three-story pavilion.
"Mingyu Tower!" Why do you seem to have heard it somewhere?
At this moment, a young woman with shiny temples, pink plum makeup, tall figure, and jade pero skirt flashed out from between the two pear trees in front of them on the right, and came to the horse with a gait to give ten thousand blessings: "Since the two sons are here, why are they in a hurry to leave?" (To be continued......)
