Volume 1 Yang Kanto Go Chapter 60 The Tale of the Western Capital
The western capital of the Han Dynasty lies in Yongzhou, which is actually called Chang'an.
Left according to the Han Valley, Erkun block, the table Taihua, the end of the south of the mountain ......
He and Shangguan Yanxi rode away from the hustle and bustle of the East and West Markets, and walked all the way south along Chumen Street, where the majestic palaces and pavilions of the Han Dynasty in front of them were in full view.
I can't help but think of the scene where the old gentleman shook his head when he recited the famous chapter "Xidu Fu" in Qingfengze Academy.
I also remembered the important things my mother had told me before leaving, and I must visit my husband when I pass by Chang'an.
"Brother Yi, look! Changle Palace! A few years ago, it was called Fu Jian Palace, but now the name has changed back! ”
Shangguan Yanxi pointed to a renovated royal palace with a horsewhip and introduced it to me.
In front of me is the royal forbidden land of the Qiang and Qin royal family, and there are many guards in front of the door, and the chariots and horses of ordinary people such as us are far from being blocked.
"Brother Yi, take you to Jianzhang Palace and Shaofu Courtyard to take a turn, from the high platform there you can overlook the whole picture of Chang'an City! Those Han palaces have been deserted for more than 100 years since they were burned down by the Red Mei Army, and there are no people from the government to manage them! ”
The lovely Miss Yanxi smiled a little apologetically, as if it was her fault that she couldn't take me around the palace.
"Miss Yanxi, don't worry, anyway, there is time! I'm done shopping all at once, and I can't find an excuse when I want to come and see you in the future! I laughed.
"Brother Yi, don't worry! As long as you don't dislike the humble house, you will always be a guest of our Shangguan family! ”
Shangguan Yanxi smiled crimson with a smile on her face, and led the way in front of the horse.
The god platform on the site of Jianzhang Palace is still there, it is made of huge stones, and the emperors of the Han Dynasty used it to worship the golden people.
The two of us tied up our mounts in the ancient forest under the stage, and climbed to the top of the stone platform of more than 30 zhang on the slippery melting snow.
Half of Chang'an City in the north is suddenly in full view, dusk falls, and smoke curls up from thousands of homes.
The places where King Qin and the concubines lived in Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were already brightly lit.
The extravagant smell of mutton fat incense candles seems to be able to be smelled on the god platform five miles away.
"From Weiyang to Gui Palace, the north is bright and long. Ling Yu said and surpassed the west, and built a chapter and connected foreign subordinates. Set up the phoenix gate of Bimen, and inhabit the golden jue on the goblet. Inside, don't be the wind of the mountains, beautiful and ingenious and towering, open thousands of doors and set up thousands of households, along with the yin and yang to open and close! ”
Standing in the wind and looking at the old capital, I was also as poetic as an old gentleman.
"The foundation of the country is the foundation of the tenth generation, the family inherits a hundred years of business, the name of the old virtue, the acres of agricultural clothing, the business of the family, and the rules of Gao Zeng. It is faint, and each has its place. ”
Miss Yanxi sat leisurely on the snow, and then recited my pride and pure words.
"Chang'an, I'm here! Changan! Yi Jincheng, a citizen of the Han family, is here! ”
I shouted loudly at the northland, the ruins of Jianzhang in the ice and snow, except for the howling mountain wind, no one will hear my voice.
Grandpa arrived in Chang'an again with a caravan after the catastrophe, and he will definitely come to this chapter to cry to the mountains and rivers of his homeland.
"Miss Yanxi, have you also recited "Western Capital Fu"?"
I turned around and smiled at Shangguan Yanxi, and pulled her up from the snow.
The temperature plummets at night, and if you sit on the ground for a long time, wind evil will invade.
"But all the people of the Western Capital, where there are wells and willows, whether they are scholars and beauties, or village husbands and old women, they will chant a few words."
Shangguan Yanxi smiled charmingly and slyly, and kept rubbing her hands angrily.
"Brother Yi, let's go down, it's too cold here!"
The snow on the steps, which had melted during the day, condensed again.
Miss Yanxi and I supported each other and finally walked down the bluestone steps of more than 100 steps and came to the edge of the ancient forest in the ruins of Jianzhang Palace.
This stone staircase that has gone through the rise and fall of the family and the country, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty walked from the top when he was full of ambition, and the King of Qin stepped from the top before and after.
Today, I, Yi Jincheng and Miss Shangguan Yanxi, also came, and walked through this royal Shinto.
Although there is no golden man who sacrifices to the sky, there is no immortal and jade cup who inherits the rain and dew of heaven and earth.
But as long as the Shenmingtai is still there, and the mountains and rivers of the homeland are still there, these are enough.
Our mount, probably cold and hungry, was circling around the ancient wood, hissing impatiently.
When he saw us coming down, he snorted as if he had seen a savior, and stepped lightly on the iron hooves to show affection.
Shangguan Yanxi and I hurriedly ran forward and untied the reins that had long been tangled in the trunk of the tree.
"Miss Yanxi, do you know that there is a place on the side of the Bashui River?"
Just as I was about to get on the horse, I suddenly remembered that there was something I hadn't had time to ask Miss Shangguan about.
"Yes! My family has a grange over there, and I will go there with my father and brothers during the rent collection season every year, fifty miles out of the north gate of Chang'an! ”
Shangguan Yanxi replied a little surprised, she didn't understand how I could ask such a question.
"Xin Village in Longshang Yuan is the hometown of my enlightenment Mr. Xin Mingrui Xin, who has been away from my home for almost five or six years, and I want to take this opportunity to visit him to fulfill the meaning of teachers and students."
I explained as I straightened the saddle.
"This is easy to do, I'll take you over when I do it on the road in a while! You just need to prepare the gifts for the visit in advance! ”
Shangguan Yanxi turned over and smiled brightly at me.
"Then I'll thank you! Miss Yanxi! I bowed.
"Brother Yi, if you see the little girl like this again, I won't play with you! Let's go! The next program, the singing, dancing and wine of Guizhifang, you will be treated by Brother Yi! ”
Shangguan Yanxi tightened the hood on his head with a horsewhip in his hand, and made a posture that he was about to gallop on the horse.
"That's nature! I can have Miss Yanxi with me all the way, even if I repair this Zhangtai Palace and dedicate it to Miss, I am willing! I followed behind and said with a flim tongue
"Young Master Yi, why are you so good to me? Is it because you love the little girl? ”
After speaking, Shangguan Yanxi couldn't help but laugh like a trembling branch.
"I love beautiful women, I don't know if Miss Yanxi intends to call?"
Shangguan Yanxi is the first Han woman I like, if there is really love at first sight in the world, from the day I saw her in Loulan's old capital, I have been in love with her.
This feeling is very different from that of Yamika and Kuzhina.
Amika is a kind of longing for me, Kurina is an irresistible temptation, and Shangguan Yanxi may be a red face that I can't stop.
I want to get close to her, but now when we are really together, the heart of confiding is far greater than the desire for possession.
I even had the urge to tell her the story of my relationship with Amika and Kuzhina.
"Brother Yi must not laugh at me! My heart has paid for the bright moon, if the son is interested, go to the Yuegui Palace to pick it! ”
Miss Yanxi said with affection in her eyes, I went to the front by myself, and I quickly followed.
Katsura Palace, Katsura Zhifang, too obvious hints, my heart jumped wildly all of a sudden.
"Oh, what should I do?" On the way back to the city from Zhangtai to Guizhifang, Shangguan Yanxi suddenly shouted.
"What's the matter? Did Miss leave something behind? I quickly stopped my mount's concerned inquiry.
"Your three brothers are still waiting for you at my house!"
"Look at my head! Hehe, those three guys must be scolding me for being a light friend! Go to Guizhifang to drink and watch songs without taking them with you, this is not the way of life for a young master! ”
I patted my head and laughed, completely forgetting about this stubble.
"Brother Yi, let's make an appointment another day?" Shangguan Yanxi comforted softly when he saw this.
"That's all there is to it! Let's go back, back to your house! ”
finally had the opportunity to be alone with the Shangguan Fairy, what a beautiful thing it would be to drink and sing together, but the three of them were disturbed by Qin Chong.
Why don't you let them go back to Yizhai directly in the afternoon! I thought a little chagrin.
"Brother Yi must keep the contract! Before Chinese New Year's Eve, I was in Chang'an, Guizhifang, Orchid Garden, Chang'an Chun, Han Palace Flowers, all the wine shops we want to play one by one! Shangguan Yanxi still said with a childlike heart.
"A word is a certainty, bring the three of them next time, we won't get drunk and won't return!"
Shangguan Yan Xima and I high-fived each other and swore on our backs, looking at each other and smiling.
Then we whipped our horses and galloped along the empty and silent street in the direction of the main store of the Los Angeles Post Post in the West City.
A few days later, I followed my grandfather and them to Meiyu Street in Chang'an East City again, and sent a batch of Chenyu Buddha carvings to the jade merchants on the street.
In recent years, there has been a trend of belief in the Buddha Shakyamuni in Chang'an City, and the homes of princes, ministers, and businessmen will worship one or several jade Buddha statues to show their piety.
The various Buddha carvings in the market were very popular for a while, and the supply exceeded the demand.
In particular, the Buddha shrine carved from the local Lantian jade in Chang'an and the Kunlun jade in Khotan in our Western Regions is a gem that is hard to find.
Therefore, the hundreds of jade carvings of the Buddha that we brought were ordered out by the jade merchants who had heard the news before they arrived in Chang'an.
Today's grandfather is here to deliver the goods, and by the way, he also introduces me, the future successor, to these big businessmen who have worked with my family for many years.
For nearly half a month after the delivery of the money and goods, the owners of these jade shops began to take turns to organize drinks to entertain their grandfather, grandfather and Uncle Su.
Wash the dust for the caravan and celebrate the successful completion of the business.
Of course, in the list of banquets, I must also be the young master of the Yi family.
It's boring to drink and socialize with these elders, and grandpa and they also find it inconvenient to sit at the same table with their eldest grandson.
So he simply gave me half a month's vacation and enough money to spend money, and let me go and find fun on my own.
I took Qin Chong, Guo Helmet Liu, and Sha Mihan to find an inn in Chang'an City and stayed comfortably.
