Chapter 103: An Unexpected Encounter 2
Listening to the words of the two, Liu Fan couldn't help crying and laughing, alas! Ma tangled things, at present, I can't think of a way to get out of this embarrassing situation, but this is the trouble caused by my own show, I can only take one step at a time, it seems that these days in the capital, let alone sightseeing, may not even have two days to stop.
waited for Liu Fan to return the salute and invited the three of them to sit down before saying, "Maybe I disappointed a few people, I don't actually understand poetry." ”
"Who will believe General Liu's words? If such a masterpiece as the water tune song head has already come out, it can be buried for a long time, which has been given to the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jiang and the Ministry of Officials Pan have a conclusion, Jiang Lao has been living in the capital since the Liangzhou incident, the largest literary meeting before the Lantern Festival will be presided over by him, I heard that he has released his words, and you must be invited to participate at that time. ”
After listening to Hou Gongzi's words, Liu Fan mourned in his heart, "What can I do, this matter seems to be getting bigger and bigger!" ”
But he said, "Lord Hou, blame me, I originally said that I would invite you to do your best in Liangzhou, but at that time, I was riddled with miscellaneous things, and I couldn't find time to visit you after the final flower list competition, I'm really sorry, I haven't asked Lord Hou for his name until now!" There are also Lord Wu and Lord Xu. ”
"I thought General Liu didn't bother to associate with us! Cheap name Yaowen, but since I met General Liu, I have deeply felt that I have this good name given to me by my father. ”
"Be cautious!"
"In Xia Wu Youde!"
"It is a blessing to be able to intersect with the three sons, and I went back to Beijing to choose a place for the sons, I have a treat, the two sons will go together, and everyone in Qiuhua, let me make up for the promise in Liangzhou."
"That's what you can't ask for, when it comes to Qiuhua everyone, you may have to go to Qunfang Pavilion as soon as possible, Qiuhua girl said on the way back from Liangzhou, 'I have never been to visit twice and failed to see people', and when she mentioned you two days ago, she said, 'She has prepared enough wine for you, just waiting for you to get drunk'."
"Alas, it's all the fault of the next, so let's go to Qunfang Pavilion later, I'm a little anxious in the past two days, so I'll ask the three sons and Qiuhua girls to make up for the friendship of the landlords in Liangzhou, as for the time to go to Qunfang Pavilion, it's after the military parade!"
"Then why bother, since we have a meal together, it's not the same where to eat, Qunfang Pavilion is not only outstanding for the girls, but also for the dishes, in addition, don't mention it again if you come to treat you, when you come to the capital, everything will be arranged by me, I think everyone in Qiuhua will definitely not agree."
At this time, Dong Zi, who was listening to the side with no interest, spoke, "Brother, since you have met a friend, let's have some wine and food and chat slowly, what is the meaning of drinking this bland and tasteless tea soup like this!" ”
Xiao Er, who had been waiting beside him, listened to Dong Zi's words, and almost crooked his nose, it was really a bunch of rammed goods from the poor countryside, and the tea soup in Tongchengyi was counted, and the cow chewed the peony, but it was a pity that this good tea soup was made.
Hou Gongzi asked, "General Liu, who is this?" ”
"Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my brother Liu Dong, now the deputy brigade commander of the Geng Brigade of the Shence Army, these two Hou Gongzi have seen it at the beginning, this is Ma Qiang, my personal captain, this is called Hai Xiancun, and he is now the captain of the Geng Brigade Battalion."
When the two sides greeted each other again, Liu Fan asked Xiao Er to serve a table of good dishes, and chatted about wine and food until the guards sent by Shen Zheng and Li Min to deliver the message arrived.
During this period, the three sons not only introduced the more famous cultural and natural landscapes near Chang'an to Liu Fan one by one, but also Hou Gongzi immediately said that if he had free time, he would definitely be a guide for Liu Fan's brothers.
Because Liu Fan still had something to do at night, he didn't drink much, and Hou Gongzi and the other three people were already slightly drunk, and although Dong Zi and the three of them poured no less than twenty bowls each, they didn't even have anything to do.
Hou Gongzi grabbed Liu Fan's arm and said, "I'll go to Qunfang Pavilion tomorrow to tell Qiuhua everyone the good news that you have arrived in the capital, and let her prepare more wine, these brothers are all immortals in wine, it seems that each of them will not get drunk if they drink a large vat." ”
"Then there is Brother Lao Yaowen, I am most afraid of drinking and drinking." Ma Qiang patted his belly and said.
"Brother Ma, don't worry, I'm going to find a few brothers with a good amount of alcohol to accompany you, if you only look at the amount of alcohol, the three of us will only lose the face of the capital." Wu Youde said that he liked Liu Fan's brothers very much.
The guards sent by Li Min just brought a word to Liu Fan, asking him to find Xu Shen Xu Zhanggu, who was in charge of welcoming the parade troops at the post station.
After saying a word, all the people present burst out laughing, Liu Fan and the others had to wait for someone from the military department to arrange the stationing of the troops, and the people who were waiting were right in front of them.
And Xu Shen once confessed when he went out of the city today, in addition to the Hedong camp today, there may also be a small army from the northwest camp, just now Xu Shen had a trace of doubt in his mind, this General Liu and his party are not the small troops they want to pick up, but seeing that they are only four people, how can they not be called a unit, the three of them arrived at the front hall a few steps earlier than Liu Fan, I didn't see the other more than 200 soldiers led by Liu Fan, plus they patronized and chatted about poetry and other infamous things when they met. I forgot the right thing to die.
Xu Zhangguqi said, "General Liu, why didn't you come here with the big army and arrive early." ”
"The main thing is that there is an urgent matter in Beijing that needs to be solved in time, so it is one step ahead of the big army."
The three of them listened to Liu Fan's vague words, and knew that it might involve secret affairs in the army, so they nodded in understanding.
Because Ma Qiang drank wine, Liu Fan didn't let him accompany him into the city, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he hurried to the city with the guards who came to deliver the message and the other two guards.
Because the Great Qi succeeded the Tang Dynasty and established the country, it did not experience the wars of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in another world, so Chang'an City basically maintained the original appearance of the former Tang Dynasty.
Tang Chang'an City is famous for its grand scale, majestic architecture and vast momentum, just as Wang Wei's poem describes that "the palace is opened in nine days, and all countries are crowned with crowns" is praised by the world, but these have already been destroyed in the previous wars, so Liu Fan came to this world soon after the idea of admiring the prosperity of Chang'an.
Although the current prosperity of Chang'an City is still inferior to that of Chang'an City in the heyday of the Kaiyuan Tianbao period of the previous dynasty, it has become a world-famous international metropolis after more than 50 years of construction by the three emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty.
According to Hou Gongzi three people, Chang'an City runs through Weishui in the north, winds around the Feng River in the west, borders the Bahe River and Chan River in the east, and looks at the end of Nanshan Mountain in the south, the city scale is magnificent, the shape is regular, the three-layer city is different from the inside and outside, the function is strictly distinguished, the city radius reaches more than 70 miles, it is more than three times that of Liangzhou City, and the population in the city is more than one million people, it is about ten times the population of Liangzhou.
The main structure of the city is composed of three parts: the palace city, the imperial city and the outer Guo city, and all industries in the city are prosperous, while outside the imperial city and the official city, there are one hundred and eight squares divided into unconventional systems.
Liu Fan and several guards entered the city from the Jinguang Gate in the west, marched straight east through the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, bypassed Chongrenfang in front of the imperial city, and finally entered through the west gate of Shengye Fang, and the most magnificent building in the northwest corner of the square is the mansion of Li Zongxiong, the current right minister.
A few people hurried slowly, and when they came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, Liu Fan made a rough estimate under the light of the four red lanterns in front of the door, only from the length of the west house wall, this right Prime Minister's Mansion looked even bigger than the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou that he had been to after graduating from university.
"Hey, you have to be careful, don't be like when you entered the Humble Administrator's Garden, you were greedy for the scenery all the way, you got lost while walking, and finally finally walked out under the guidance of a little girl." Liu Fan admired the two giant lions at the door, and muttered to himself.
"What's wrong with you? As soon as I arrived in the capital, I had a problem with my brain, and I actually spoke to this stone. ”
Hearing this voice, Liu Fan noticed that the five house-style doors with three doors were closed, except for the tightly closed middle door, the side doors on both sides had not been closed, and by the side door on the left, a brightly dressed woman was standing against the door, talking to herself with a smile.
