Chapter 14 Out of the House
When Yang Ying heard this, he quickly touched his body, and his face changed, he used to go out with his brother with servants and guards, how could he bring money, this time the two of them were temporary, and they secretly left the mansion, and no one thought of bringing money.
Seeing Yang Ying's expression, Yang Tian knew that he didn't bring it, and the two brothers were at a loss, Yang Tian had never eaten white food, and Yang Ying certainly wouldn't ruin the reputation of the Guogong Mansion for a bowl of mutton soup.
The two of them suddenly opened their eyes wide, until the customers who drank mutton soup around them walked a few times, and they were still sitting there still, but one of them had a jade artifact on their bodies, which they had worn on their bodies since childhood, and they could not use this jade to pay the bill.
The old man has been doing business for decades, and when he saw that the two children didn't get up after drinking the mutton soup for a long time, he already knew it, and came over to clean up the two of them's dishes and chopsticks and said: "Two little brothers, since you don't have a hand around, then come back next time." ”
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, there were many gray hairs on his head, and his coarse cloth clothes were densely patched, and although the business of this mutton soup was good, it was all a small business of one or two copper coins, relying on these, not only to feed himself, but perhaps to feed his whole family.
Unexpectedly, this old man was so simple, facing the two children of obviously rich families who had no money to pay the bill, Yang Tian was even more embarrassed, took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck, put it on the table, and said: "Uncle, this is here first, and I will redeem it next time I bring money." After speaking, he pulled Yang Ying to get up and leave.
The old man couldn't catch up, so he had to put away the jade pendant, shook his head and sighed: "This kid ......"
Yang Ying was pulled away by Yang Tian and gasped, and as soon as he stopped, he complained: "Brother, do you know this jade pendant ......?"
Before Yang Ying finished speaking, Yang Tian had already interrupted him: "I know that this jade pendant is very important, but we can't pay the bill, right?" I'm my brother, of course I can't take your jade pendant to the account, and next time we come out to redeem it, won't we. ”
Yang Ying touched the jade pendant on his body, grabbed it tightly, and said movingly: "Brother, you are so good!" ”
Yang Tian touched his nose, he didn't expect that he just said casually, this younger brother would be grateful to himself, well, he is the smartest and just a little kid who is less than eight years old, and it is not bad to have such a younger brother.
Although it was the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the streets were dominated by Han Chinese, including richly dressed merchants, ordinary hawkers, and farmers who brought vegetables grown in their fields into the city, but they all had smiles on their faces, whether they were rich or poor.
Occasionally, Xianbei people pass by, they also calmly walk in the crowd of Han people, but when there are Xianbei nobles passing by, the Han people walking on the street have to pull aside to hide, these Xianbei nobles are a group of slaves, fresh clothes and angry horses, Xianbei people pass, the street is back to the same, although these Xianbei nobles are arrogant, but they do not casually oppress the Han people, if you pass by a stall and want to buy something, they will pay according to the price, and sometimes they will reward some small money, which leads to the stall owner to thank him repeatedly.
The goods on the street are also rich in variety, silk, porcelain, Shu brocade from Shudi, tea, beautiful jade from the Western Regions, treasure knives, all kinds of goods are available on the streets of Chang'an.
The two walked on the street for a while, and the bowl of mutton soup they had just drunk had been digested, and their stomachs began to growl, but because they didn't have any money on them, they had to endure the aroma from the restaurants and food stalls on both sides.
Coming to a restaurant again, Yang Ying said with a bitter face: "Brother, I'm hungry, why don't we go home." ”
Yang Tian went out for the first time, everything on the street was strange to him, but he didn't want to go back so soon, not to mention that even if he went back now, he would definitely be discovered by the Dugu clan, at least a reproach was indispensable, it was better to stay outside for a while, and it might not be so easy to come out next time.
"Bear with me, let's go shopping again."
"But I can't walk." Yang Yingsu stood and didn't leave, he used to drive a carriage every time he went out, with a servant, and he could pay for anything he saw, but now, he has to rely on his legs to walk, and he can't buy things when he sees them, and he even has to be hungry, and his interest in coming out at the beginning is gone.
This younger brother refused to go, Yang Tian couldn't hold him, and he couldn't let him go back alone, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, then let's go back." ”
The two brothers turned around and were about to go home, when the pedestrians on the street began to flash to the side again, and Yang Tian knew that there were Xianbei nobles passing through, so he pulled Yang Ying to the side.
It's just that the Xianbei people who passed this time don't seem to be ordinary, although pedestrians will dodge before, but at most give way to the middle half of the road, and others can still do whatever they want, but this time the road on the street is completely out of the way, and Yang Tian also saw a few shops quietly closing.
Yang Tian vaguely heard someone say: Be careful, the four evils of the Jingshi are coming.
Yang Tian grabbed a middle-aged man who was squeezing behind and asked, "What are the four evils of the Jingshi?" ”
The middle-aged man saw that it was a child, and was about to scold, but when he saw that Yang Tian was also dressed as a humble nobleman, his face changed: "What are the four evils of the Jingshi, I don't know." ”
Yang Tian was about to ask again, a group of Xianbei people had already walked from the street, in front of them were several vicious and vicious slaves, they were holding whips in their hands, and they were throwing them with a crackling sound, and in the middle was a tall horse, and immediately rode a young man about twenty years old, this young man had a somewhat handsome face, but his hair was curly, and there were two huge silver rings hanging on his ears, showing a few fierce signs, and he was dressed gorgeously, and hung with jingling ornaments.
Behind the young man was a carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lowered, so that people could not see the scene in the carriage, there were four guards next to the carriage, Yang Tian saw the temperament similar to Yuan Wei from these four guards, but he looked like a soldier.
Yang Tian was dumbfounded, no wonder people wanted to dodge far away, it turned out that the wicked people were really coming.
A voice like a yellow warbler suddenly came from the carriage: "Song Guogong, Miss said that your minions are too fierce, and you will ruin the reputation of our house if you follow, Miss Thank you Guogong for sending him off, and please go first." ”
Hearing this voice, the young man on the horse changed his face, and hurriedly jumped down from the horse and shouted, "You minions restrain a little and put away the whip." With that, he ran to the carriage and explained in a low voice.
Yang Ying stabbed Yang Tian's body: "Brother, do you remember, this is the guy who stunned you last time." ”
