Chapter 95: East-West Market
When the market vendors in Hong'an Fang were selling, there was some noise, and the footsteps of the passing passengers woke up Yanshan and Xiaozhi, who were still asleep.
Yanshan rubbed his eyes, looked around and found that Luo Gan was gone, went to knock on the door next door, and waited for a long time for Xiaozhi to answer the door, and the willow in the house was gone.
"Brother Xiaozhi, why is there no one in your house?"
The sleepy-eyed Xiao Zhi found that the willow in the house had indeed disappeared, and he was still in a daze.
"Huh? It seems that he really didn't look at it", Ash didn't wake up, walked to his bedside and rummaged through it to find Liu Buwen, turned around and said, "It's really gone." ”
Yanshan shook his head, it seems that everyone drank a little too much last night, and Ash is still in a dream. Clap your hands and ask the store to come up and bring a glass of water for Ash to drink.
The crowd in the West Market was bustling, and Liu Buwen looked around the direction of the store through the crowd.
The smell of roast goose shop, the colorful and fashionable clothes in the tailor shop, and the clanging of the blacksmith in the weapon shop did not keep Liu Buwen's hurried pace, but he just glanced at the shop and left without finding the target.
Liu Buwen has no distractions, in addition to coming to Chang'an to see the world, there is also a treasure, he wants to see if the most prosperous place in China is hidden.
Walking deeper from Xishi Street, there is a simple vinegar celery shop, and the steamed mutton shop next to it is doing a prosperous business, and it has robbed all the business.
Walking along this shop to Fang Street, I saw a bookstore in a few steps, and the plaque hung "Baixiang Pavilion", and Liu Buwen showed a happy expression between his eyebrows.
There are bookshelves in the room, the ink on the wired bound books is elegant, and there are also bamboo slips of famous ancient books.
The shopkeeper looked like a scholar, dressed in plain clothes and smiling, and only a few customers patronized the store and flipped through some information.
Liu Buwen walked to a bookshelf, flipped through some poetry and literature, and couldn't put it down, but he didn't have much to worry about it, so he had to put it down.
The middle-aged man on the side attracted Liu Buwen's attention, with wide sleeves and a large coat, chic and graceful, wearing a hood, a round neck around his neck, long boots on his feet, and a jade belt hook around his waist.
Liu Buwen approached him, pretending to be just passing by, but in fact, his eyes kept glancing at the book in the man's hand. The book is full of gods, demons, monsters, and gossip divination, and then crouches down to flip through other books, and continues to peek into the books.
"Your Excellency is also interested in this book?" The man spoke, startling Liu Buwen, who thought he had no flaws, and took a few steps behind him.
The man's face was very majestic, his eyes were like a bright moon, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest flaw, and his voice was thick and powerful, and a word could resound throughout the entire bookstore, making the other tourists look back to see what was going on.
"No, no, I misunderstood, and it's not ......" Liu Bu was incoherent, a little confused, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
The man looked at the book in his hand, then looked at Liu Buwen, and then handed the book in his hand to Liu Buwen, who looked at it carefully with wide eyes.
"Sure enough, this is Li Chunfeng's masterpiece!"
The man was very surprised: "Your Excellency also knows Li Chunfeng." ”
Liu Buwen's face was overjoyed: "Of course! Li Chunfeng is a generation of masters, astrology and hexagram reading is very famous, in Xia Yuan heard about this book thousands of miles away, there are rumors that there is a foresight of the future. ”
The man stroked his beard, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, which was the gaze of the elder looking at the junior.
"It's hidden in the city, and there are a lot of people who read in the market."
"Definitely! Knowledge is endless", Liu Buwen's brain twitched, and he felt that there might be some opportunity to show himself in front of nobles, "I won't tell you, I still have some research on this." ”
"Oh?"
"Since the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil for many years, and the people are struggling to make a living. Many people think that Emperor Gong's incompetence is the key, but they think otherwise, Jin Xuan is just a fig leaf. Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, people in the Jin Dynasty are concerned about gods and ghosts, not to talk about the family and country, what is this good thing? ”
The man looked at the book and said, "What do you mean that the fact that this book has now become a treasure is the best proof that the people are living in poverty?" ”
Liu Buwen bowed and said, "On the contrary, this is a good sign!" ”
The man was surprised: "How can you see it?" ”
Liu Buwen: "Since the unification of the Tang Dynasty, although the time is short, the soldiers can be strong and strong, although there is an invasion of Hu people from outside, but there is the Great Wall and generals to protect the family and defend the country." The people are prosperous, although there are strong enemies, but the people's hearts are stable, gods and ghosts say that now only acid scholars like me care, why is this not a good thing? ”
The man laughed loudly: "Contemptible people also think that self-cultivation is the national policy, no matter what the strong enemy is, a rich country and a strong army are beneficial to the people is the policy of a strong country." In the past hundred years, the turbulent times have continued, and Mingde's revenge is the top priority! ”
Liu Buwen: "It is exactly what the people want, and what the enemy country is afraid of." ”
The man looked at Liu Buwen and asked, "Dare to ask where Your Excellency is?" ”
Liu Buwen bowed his head: "It's a shame to say that my father is an official of the former dynasty, and he has failed the imperial examination many times in the next year, and he is idle at home." ”
The man sighed, and said: "The emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre and had nothing to do with officials, so why did he implicate Your Excellency?" If you have the ambition to serve the country, you still hope to persevere, so as to open the Holy Hearing. ”
Liu Buwen bowed: "Brother Chengren Jiyan!" Dare to ask Brother Ren's surname? ”
The man bowed: "The contemptible person's surname is Wei." ”
The man heard a drum beat and looked back, his face sad.
"There is a prior farewell", the man said goodbye to Liu Buwen, walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and turned back to Liu Buwen and said: "There is a vinegar celery shop around the corner of the door, you can go and taste it." ”
Liu Buwen nodded, watching the man leave, and was very emotional in his heart. Flipping through the book in his hand, it was "Tui Bei Tu", which recorded the prophecy about the future, which suddenly made Liu Buwen's attention concentrated......
Yanshan took Ash out and went out casually on the street.
The two of them ate some goose meat to their fill, and walked aimlessly down the street.
"Yanshan, where did you say the two of them went?"
"I don't know, the president should be with Miss Juntao, as for Liu Gongzi, he probably has some interest, so he went elsewhere."
Ash: "Hey! The two of them really are! I don't say hello when I go out, Chang'an City is so big! What if they're lost! ”
Yanshan turned his head sharply, and Xiao Zhi behind him hit him on the back, his nose and face were swollen.
"Maybe it's not that they're lost, it's us."
Xiao Zhi touched his nose, looked left and right, and was shocked by the scene in front of him: a row of attics the size of Wangqing Pavilion used to be orderly, and the girls dressed in red inside were charming, and the crowd was endless, and the fragrance hit the street......
Unbeknownst to Yanshan and Xiaozhi, they came to Pingkangfang in Chang'an City, where the flower of desire bloomed.
