"It's finally out...!"

Li Zhan walked out of the back door of Yunxiang Pavilion, at this time it was already dark outside Yunxiang Pavilion, and candles were lit around, still illuminating Pingkang Fang as if it were day.

Just when Li Zhan was enjoying the night view of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Chubi walked up to Li Zhan and said, "Brother Zhan, it's almost curfew, let's go back to the house together...!" ”

Curfew... Li Zhan nodded, in fact, Datang can't come out at night, Chang'an... Especially during the Zhenguan period, nightlife? Inexistent. If you are walking in Chang'an during the day, maybe you can still swing slowly, looking at the beautiful scenery of the street all the way, and feel the prosperity and liveliness of Chang'an, but if it is at night, you can't just wander around the streets, especially the 38 main streets.

Will it be okay to take a look at the night view? Yes, and something big will happen. Because after a while, there will be the sound of horses' hooves falling on the street, not a moment, but a lot, this is a team of Jin Wuwei who is responsible for patrolling, and when he encounters Jin Wuwei, it is indispensable to be troubled, a little better, it may just be beaten, even if he is driven away, if he is unlucky, he is in a bad mood when he encounters Jin Wuwei, then it is indispensable to be heavy-handed.

So are they responsible? The results may be slightly disappointing, not at all, because they are performing their official duties normally. Speaking of which, you shouldn't be on the streets. Because there is a curfew system.

The so-called curfew system means that you are not allowed to hang outside at night. At dusk, the Chengtian Gate will sound with the sound of drums, and after the four hundred drums have passed, the city gate will be closed. After another 600 knocks, it was time to close the door. At the same time, no pedestrians are allowed on the road. The punishment for the forbidden person is the same as the one we mentioned above, but there are also certain regulations on punishment, that is, twenty strokes.

These twenty hits, in general, still depend on whether Jin Wuwei is heavy or not, after all, it is not uncommon for a martial artist to be killed by a force. And among these arresting urban management teams, in addition to Jin Wuwei in the open, there is also Wuhou in the dark, there is a Wuhou shop in every shop, and in modern terms, it is a police station, so you see, in ancient times, even if you hide, you don't know how to hide.

However, after the curfew moment, soon after dawn, a very spectacular sight can be seen at dawn. If you want to ask what it is, it is the bell and drum to announce the dawn. In ancient times, people used to divide the night into five watches, one watch is divided into five points, the time of reporting is different in winter and summer, although they are all reported in five watches, but the number of points is not the same, winter at three o'clock, summer at two o'clock, to ask why? That's because it dawns early in the summer.

At the end of the hour, a drum will sound on the tower of Chengtianmen, and then the drum tower on the north-south street will also beat the drum, and at the same time, the temple in the city will also ring the morning bell. Then you can see a spectacular sight... At the same time as the sun rose, the doors of every house and every square slowly opened.

In the interweaving of drums and bells, the street slowly became lively. However, the street is not as lively and bustling as we imagined, with all kinds of small shops lined up to attract passers-by to see their shops. On the streets of Chang'an, there are trees on both sides, and next to the trees are ditches, and then there are high walls, and the homes of various dignitaries with headdresses in the high walls.

Note that the officials here are still above the third grade. As for the remaining officials and ordinary people, the door of the house can only be opened to the inside of the house. You can't open a shop on the street, and it's really deserted when you walk on the street.

And those small shops that everyone imagines are in a fixed area of Chang'an, which is the central business district of Chang'an.... East and West Cities. Therefore, if you want to live overnight in Chang'an, you can't think about it, but no matter how iron the rules are, there are times when they are humanized, that is, every Shangyuan Festival, you can come out at night to see the stars and enjoy the moon, and there is no Jin Wuwei to arrest people at this time.

"Ahh Li Zhan, who was immersed in his fantasies, looked back at Cheng Chubi and said, "I don't think I need to go back to the Gongfu... Find a random inn, I'll sleep for one night, and I'll go back tomorrow. ”

It's just that after Li Zhan finished speaking, Cheng Chubi's little head shook like a rattle: "No... No, no... Brother Zhan, my eldest brother said, you are the dearest brother of our Cheng family, our family is your family, how can you let your own brother sleep in the inn. ”

At this time, Niu Qi also said with a smile: "Don't worry... There are a lot of side rooms in Cheng Mansion, so you just need to live in a side room. ”

I thought about it for a moment... Li Zhan still smiled and nodded, "Okay... Then let's go back, if we don't go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. ”

Finally... Before the curfew, everyone set off to return to the Lu Guogong Mansion.

Waide Place... Just next to the West Market, this is where the Lu Guogong Mansion is located, to Li Zhan's surprise, the Lu Guogong Mansion at this time is also full of lights, Li Zhan looked at Cheng Chubi beside him slightly and said: "Chubi... Today's guest is at your house, I think I'll come back next time. ”

Cheng Chubi smiled and said, "Brother Zhan... There are guests in my house every day, and my father doesn't find a few friends to drink every day, so he won't be happy, let's go, just go to our side room, and today you will sleep in my brother's side room, and it will be fine. ”

In a state of half-pushing and half-doing, Li Zhan still walked into Cheng Yanjin's house, in fact, Li Zhan didn't want to enter the mansion of this country, why... After all, in this era, there is still a certain prejudice in identity, Li Zhan is clothed, and Cheng Chumo is willing to make friends with him, but it does not mean that his family is also willing.

Li Zhan didn't want people to feel as if he was clinging to the powerful, after all, he was a modern man and hated this feeling.

Fortunately, everything is the same as Cheng Chubi said, Li Zhan didn't need to meet anyone, he was directly led to the side room to sleep, Cheng Chubi also asked Li Zhan if he was hungry, if he was hungry, he could ask someone to bring something to eat.

Li Zhan shook his head, he had eaten too much just now, so he asked Cheng Chubi to prepare some bath water for himself, and Li Zhan went to sleep directly after preparing to wash.

However, what Li Zhan didn't expect was that just after he entered the Cheng Mansion, a woman's fate began to change by him.

..........................

"What to do... I'm not going, I've heard that the so-called guest here today is a civilian, and his family still lives outside the city, so I will never go, whoever you love will go. ”

It was a maid from Cheng Mansion who spoke, about 15 years old.

What does she mean by this, in fact, it is very simple, in the Tang Dynasty, there were some bad habits, large families came to the distinguished guests, there must be a maid to warm the bed, the so-called warm bed is actually the bed, if the guest is willing, the maid is to follow the guest.

Of course, such a seemingly unreasonable bad habit, but in the eyes of many maids, it is an opportunity for carp to jump over the dragon gate, especially the Guogong Mansion.

You tell me, how many of the VIPs in the Guogong Mansion are not rich or expensive, and you can get out of the sea of suffering by climbing on one, but unfortunately today all the maids in the Guogong Mansion are disappointed, Li Zhan is nothing, just a commoner, I heard that he is friendly with his son-in-law, that's all.

You said that none of the maids staying in the Guogong Mansion was not arrogant, and they would take a fancy to Li Zhan in cloth, so when they heard that this person was actually going to sleep, all the maids were unwilling.
