Volume 3 Xuanwumen Chapter 61 The Boy in the East of Chang'an City (II)
Seeing that he was scolded by the young man, Zhou Lao Liu wiped the cold sweat on his head, coughed dryly, hugged his wrists to his chest, and asked politely, "This, Xiao Langjun is invited, but do you want to enter the city?" ”
The young man smiled heartily and replied, "Yes, I am about to go to the city to find relatives." ”
Zhou Laoliu decided in his heart that this person was not an ordinary family, this kind of wealthy and noble son was the most difficult to contact, and he was recognized as a tyrant in Chang'an City. So his attitude was more cautious, and he responded, "Xiao Langjun, where is my duty to Lao Zhou, I have to ask something." Don't be long-winded. "I bowed my hand and made a joke.
When the young man heard this, he said curiously, "What's the matter, can't I go into the city?" What's wrong? ”
"Uh....That's right, Xiao Langjun, you want to go to the city to visit your relatives, it's naturally unimpeded, but you... Uh, this, this........" Zhou Laoliu smiled and pointed at Xiao Hei with his finger, but he didn't come up with an adjective for a long time.
The boy answered, "It's called Xiao Hei, it's a tiger, my brother!" ”
Zhou Lao Liuxin said, okay, this wealthy family really knows how to play tricks, and there are people who call them brothers and sisters. However, the smile on his face was even brighter, and he said, "Well, this black-haired tiger is really rare, and my old Zhou has opened his eyes today." Xiao Langjun, look at your appearance and temperament are not ordinary people, you are a nobleman, and there are a lot of adults, but don't be like us who are stinky and defend the city. My Lao Zhou is a gatekeeper, and my responsibility lies, but I Lao Zhou deliberately embarrass you. Xiao Langjun wants to enter the city, naturally it doesn't matter, but you, the black tiger, even if you kill my old Zhou, you will never dare to let you go into the city. ”
When the young man heard this, his brows furrowed, but he was very well educated, and he did not have the same general knowledge as he watched the city gates, but just asked, "Why don't you let my little black enter the city!" ”
Zhou Lao Liu was covered in a cold sweat, and he was careful to pay for it, for fear that he would not deal well with it and annoy the young man. His attitude was even more flattering, and he replied respectfully, "Xiao Langjun Haihan, look, this Chang'an city gate is full of people, you tiger is a fierce beast, and before you really enter the city, you will scare the people around this neighborhood into a mess, if you enter the city, won't it make a bigger mess?" ”
It was reasonable for the young man to listen to what he said, but he was willing to let Xiao Hei stay alone outside the city. opened his mouth and asked, "There are so many wealthy families in Chang'an City, and every family has captive beasts, why can't my little black enter the city?" Could it be that you can't deceive me? ”
Zhou Lao Liu saw that this young man was also very good at talking, and he had no fight, so he couldn't help but let go of his courage and replied, "Xiao Langjun is reasonable, but the wealthy families are all hugging each other in and out, leading horses and eagles, and they have their own Ding Haonu who specializes in taking care of the beasts." Xiao Langjun is only alone, and your black tiger is so powerful to look at, if you hurt someone, it will not be beautiful after all. Even if you don't hurt people and startle your livestock mounts, it will affect your reputation. If not, Xiao Langjun, do you want to reward the names of your relatives and friends, and let your brothers send you a letter, so that your family can come out to pick you up, and save you from walking hard, what do you think? ”
The young man nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Well, that's it." After that, he took off the jade pendant on his waist, handed it over casually, and said, "I'm sorry for you to go to the Qin Palace, and with a message, I will say that my nephew Mingyu is coming to my uncle." ”
When Zhou Laoliu heard this, he said in his heart, I am obedient, it turned out to be from the Qin Palace. Now, this King of Qin is a holy family, like the sun in the sky, red and purple-like figures, who doesn't know Chang'an City, who doesn't know? Tsk, look at the people, the valuable jade pendant was handed to us to deliver the letter, this is the style of the wealthy.
Look at the upbringing of others, I don't know how many times better than the children of the wealthy families in Chang'an. It is no wonder that only heroes such as King Qin are worthy of such a majestic beast.
Recalling a few years ago, King Qin and Tiger were imprisoned in the first battle to determine the two kings, pacify the Central Plains, and the world was shaken. When the class teacher returned to Beijing, the Chang'an City was thunderous, and the prince led the civil and military officials to personally go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and the people of Chang'an welcomed him with unprecedented pomp.
Emperor Longyan Dayue, a series of titles were rewarded, what Tiance General, Da Situ, Shaanxi Dongdao Daxing Taishang Shuling, above the prince, worthy of the name of the first king in the world, the number of food increased to 30,000 households. This is a matter that is clearly announced to the world, how can Zhou Laoliu, as a ghost in Chang'an, not know? I heard that later, the emperor issued an edict to allow Tiance Mansion to purchase its own official subordinates, open a literature museum, and recruit scholars from all over the world to enter the museum. The article of the Literature Museum, the Tiance Mansion and the martial arts are combined with each other, just like a small court.
Knowing that the identity of the young man was really extraordinary, Zhou Laoliu's attitude became more and more respectful, and he hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that Xiao Langjun is a noble person in the Qin Palace. Please Xiao Langjun wait, our brothers helped Xiao Langjun run an errand, and notified the palace to send a carriage and horse to meet him. ”
This young man is naturally Li Mingyu.
At this time, four years have passed since the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and Li Mingyu has also grown to eleven years old, and due to his extremely fast physical development, he looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
This time, he was ordered by his master Li Xuanba to leave the school and come to Chang'an to join Li Shimin.
Li Mingyu took Xiao Hei and rode Terensu, who had already grown into a tall horse, and got up early in the morning to rush to Chang'an City.
But he didn't want to, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped. Li Mingyu knew that what the city gate official said also made some sense, and his duty was, and he didn't want to embarrass him. After handing over the token to someone to deliver the letter, he waited for Li Shimin to send someone to pick it up.
The city gate official Zhou Lao Liu can also be a man, his face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Langjun, come here, leeward here." After that, he asked someone to bring a stool, wiped it repeatedly with his sleeve, and asked Li Mingyu to sit down. Then Zhang Luo, who was busy with the front and back, guarded the door and said, "Little third son, go to the Hujia wine shop in the east of the city to get a pot of hot wine to warm up Xiao Langjun's body, this day is cold, don't let the nobles catch a cold." ”
Li Mingyu was embarrassed to see that the sixth child was so eager this week. Xiao Hei's huge body fell behind him on the ground, and Li Mingyu leaned on Xiao Hei's body, this big fur "sofa" was big and warm. Mingyu waved his hand so that Zhou Lao Liu didn't have to be so polite, just go and go to the official business of guarding the city, he has nothing to do, and it doesn't hurt to wait.
Zhou Lao Liu saw that Xiao Hei was so well-behaved at this time, and the timidity in his heart gradually disappeared, and he slowly let go. sent the guards guarding the city to be busy with official business, and he was talking to Mingyu on the side.
Chatting and chatting, Mingyu had the heart to understand how the Qin Wangfu is now popular among the people, and deliberately led the topic to the King of Qin, only to see Zhou Laoliu pick up his big finger and praise, "King Qin, his old man is really this, a hero." The princess is well-taught, and everyone in the house is knowledgeable and approachable. Know how to understand the difficulties of our little pawns. It's not like the big family next to him, with his nostrils facing the sky, his eyes are tall, and he doesn't treat us as people. ”
Li Mingyu smiled in his heart, and secretly said that now Li Shimin has not yet passed the age of establishment, and he has become his old man? He was originally a modern person who crossed over, and naturally there was no such strict class concept as the ancients in his heart, seeing that although the language of Zhou Lao Liu was vulgar, but the conversation was also a little interesting, and it was Chang'an Tong who guarded the city gate, Chang'an was in turmoil, all kinds of gossip, the most well-informed, Li Mingyu also intended to understand the situation in Chang'an, so he casually talked with Zhou Lao Liu.
Zhou Lao Liu, although he is only a small city gate official, but he knows that the young man in front of him is a noble man from the Qin Palace, and he intends to stammer, so he naturally deliberately welcomes him, and he knows everything and says everything.
The two had a pleasant conversation. While they were talking, there was another commotion at the gate of the city, where order had suddenly been restored, and there were bursts of shouting and scolding.
Li Mingyu frowned when he heard this, and just wanted to ask what the situation was, when he saw Zhou Laoliu sigh and said, "Hey, which one of them provoked these ancestors without opening their eyes!" In the end, it's not bitter, let's clean up the mess! After that, he smiled apologetically at Li Mingyu and hurried to the place where the incident occurred.
It is human nature to watch the excitement, Li Mingyu was idle at this time, and he also planned to go over to have a look, so he instructed Xiao Hei to stay here and join in the excitement with him.
