Chapter 435: And to Chang'an
Chang'an City is still so tall and majestic.
When the carriage drove into Chang'an from the gate of Chang'an South City, looking at the surrounding tall city walls and the bustling crowd on Chang'an Street, Liu Yiyi's heart was somewhat touched, when he decided to leave here with his family and escape away, he never thought that they would be able to turn back so quickly and with a new identity.
The current weather in Chang'an is still as usual, although it has entered February, and it will soon be spring, but the weather has not yet warmed up, and the air outside the carriage is still very cold.
"Wow! Sister, brother-in-law, you see, Chang'an City is so lively, there are so many people! ”
The little girl stood in front of the car window, her whole little head was about to stick out of the car, and she saw pedestrians, vendors, children, and some toys outside, jumping happily in the carriage and shouting.
After more than ten days of recuperation, the chilblains and cold poison on the little girl's body were all as Sun Simiao's old Taoist said, and they were removed by the dozen or so plasters he gave. At the same time, it also restored the original cute appearance of Xiaoya.
The little girl's skin is very fine, and it looks very white after washing, and her face was frostbitten at the beginning, which did not leave her too conspicuous scars, her facial features are delicate, her face is round, and Zhang Chuchu is the same, she is a cute apple face, red fluttering, transparent, very attractive. Zhang Chuchu even opened his mouth to recognize her as a sister after the little girl got better, and he spoiled this little girl very much, and Liu Yiyi did not object to this.
There are many sensible and well-behaved children in the family, and it is good that the daughter-in-law has someone to accompany her when she is lonely, which is not a bad thing.
"Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty, will naturally be more prosperous and lively than other places." Zhang Chuchu stretched out his hand to pull the little girl to sit beside him, with a smile on his face, and said softly to the little girl: "In the future, there will be opportunities to come out and swim, now, you give me to sit honestly, don't stick your head out of the car again, it is very dangerous, and it also seems very rude." ”
"Oh, got it, sister!" The little girl nodded obediently, and answered with a sound in her mouth, but the two big eyes still peeked out of the car window from time to time. The first time I came to the legendary Chang'an City, I was a little curious and a little happy, which was normal.
"Mr. Liu, should we go directly to Master Su's mansion?" After the carriage entered the city, it walked very slowly, and the coachman Lao Wang whispered to Liu Yiyi in front of him for instructions, and when they were about to leave Fengjie, Di Zhixun had confessed that if they arrived in Chang'an, they could temporarily stay in Chang'an Su Mansion with his letterhead.
"No need, go find an inn first, settle down, and then make other plans." Liu Yiyi didn't think about it, and directly rejected Lao Wang's proposal, he didn't want to meet the old Su Tou'er too early, although he was not worried that he would recognize him, but it was a little inconvenient to be with these acquaintances.
"Got it, Mr. Liu!" Answering lightly, Lao Wang drove the carriage into a diagonal street, Chang'an City Lao Wang had been here several times, and was quite familiar with the situation here, and after a while, their carriage stopped in front of an inn called 'Xiangheju'.
"Wow! This inn is so big! It's more magnificent than all the inns I've seen before! As Liu Yiyi jumped off the carriage, the little girl looked at the wide and luxurious inn door in front of her, and opened her small mouth, very surprised.
"Hehe, Miss Xiaoya, although this 'peaceful residence' is big, but in this Chang'an City, it is just an ordinary inn." Looking at this cute little girl, Lao Wang was also full of smiles and explained to her softly.
"Really? Uncle Wang! Xiaoya's eyes widened, and she looked at Lao Wang suspiciously, a little unconvinced.
"Naturally, there is no falsehood, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can it be compared to the decoration of those small villages and shops?" Liu Yiyi lightly helped Zhang Chuchu to get off the carriage, raised his eyes to look at the 'Xianghe Ju' in front of him, and said softly to Xiaoya.
"Oh," the little girl nodded incomprehensibly, her eyes curiously looking towards the store of 'Peaceful Residence'.
"Okay, pick up the luggage, let's go in," Liu Yiyi whispered to Xiao Yi and Lao Wang, took the lead in helping Zhang Chuchu, and walked into the door of the 'Xiangheju' store together.
The inside of the restaurant is very spacious, and there are nearly 20 tables in the hall on the first floor alone, and there are some people sitting there eating, drinking, and chatting. Seeing that a guest came to the door, a typical young man, with a white towel on his shoulder, trotted up to greet him, and said to Liu Yiyi and a few people with a smile: "A few guest officers, please!" ”
"How many guests are staying in the hotel?" Seeing that Xiao Yi and they were all carrying the salute package, the young man asked very cleverly.
"Well, let's open three upper rooms, and then put some wine and food in this hall," Liu Yiyi glanced at the hall, and saw that there were only a few students in the hall drinking and chatting, so he whispered a word to the shopkeeper. Then he supported Zhang Chuchu and sat down at an empty table not far from those scholars, and the little girl also happily sat down next to Zhang Chuchu.
"Ten years of studying, just for one day, hehe, I don't want this year, it's in vain!" A gentleman with a wine glass in his hand, his eyes were drunk, his expression and tone were all depressed.
"Two out of five, the frustrated person, not only Brother Wen Bai, counting, this is the second time that Brother Wei has fallen into the number of two hundred," the other person said: "However, this year, Lord Wei will take the position of the main exam, and if he can't apply, Brother Yu has no complaints, and he only blames himself for not being able to learn enough to take the position, and he can't get into the eyes of Lord Wei." Forget it, not this time, next time! ”
The tone is very helpless, but there is no resentment in my heart, which is rare. This is probably the main reason why Li Shimin arranged for Wei Zheng to serve as the last retest, right?
Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea, raised his hand to beckon Xiao Er, and asked Xiao Er softly: "Dare to ask Little Second Brother, has the list of this year's re-examination been announced?" ”
"Back to the son, the list just released this morning, the report has long passed," Xiao Er turned his head to look at the scholar who was already a little drunk on the side, and said softly to Liu Yiyi: "No, son, please look, those sons are the frustrated people who have been drinking with us for almost a morning." ”
"Oh, thank you little second brother," Liu Yiyi chuckled and rewarded Xiao Er with two big money, and asked him again: "I don't know where this list is, hehe, I also want to see it." ”
"The list is set up at the front door of the ministry, if the son is interested, you can go and see it at any time, but the list is only set up for three days, and after the hour, the ministry will be removed, and if the son wants to see it, it is better to see it as soon as possible." Xiao Er happily accepted the reward and answered Liu Yiyi's question very enthusiastically.
"Well, there's Little Brother Lao!" Liu Yiyi nodded at the young man, glanced in the direction of the two drunken scholars, and said no more.
"Husband," when Xiao Er turned to leave, Zhang Chuchu looked at Liu Yiyi and screamed softly. When the list of the re-examination came out, she was also very worried in her heart, I don't know if Ertiao, as well as her eldest brother, has been on the list, will it be like these books, frustrated and drunk.
"Hehe, it's okay." Knowing what his daughter-in-law was worried about, Liu Yiyi shook her little hand lightly and comforted her. With Wei Zheng as the main exam, it must be difficult to follow a private matter, and I want to use the talents of their second child and Zhang Chuwen to learn from them, and in a relatively fair situation, they can also fight for some talents.
The food on the table, this moment of hard work has been on the table, seeing the little girl drooling, wanting to eat but not daring to move the chopsticks, Liu Yiyi chuckled, put a piece of chicken leg between her, and said softly: "Okay, if you want to eat, just grab it directly, in front of my sister and brother-in-law, there is no need to be so restrained!" ”
"Hmmm! Thank you, brother-in-law! Looking up at Liu Yiyi, the little girl reached out and grabbed the chicken leg and quickly ate it.
Eating is extremely fast, swallowing and swallowing are almost at the same time, this is also a habit that Xiaoya developed when she was a beggar, Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuchu have taught her countless times, but they still can't change it.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you, don't be in such a hurry!" Zhang Chuchu spoke out in distress to stop it, eating like Xiaoya would easily spoil her body.
"Uh-huh, got it, sister!" Put the chicken bones in her hand on the table, the little girl chewed the chicken in her mouth, nodded her head in response, and looked at her greasy mouth, which really made people wonder what to say about her.
"I want to go out for a while," Liu Yiyi sandwiched a chopstick vegetarian dish for Zhang Chuchu, and said softly: "Go to the Ministry of Rites to go through the formalities, and the lady and the little girl will rest in this inn for a while." ”
"Well, be careful when you go out," Zhang Chuchu nodded and replied softly, "After the matter is done, come back early, and the concubine will be waiting for you in the room." ”
When she first arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Chuchu knew that her husband would have some things to do, and these things were not something that she could meddle in as a woman, so the only thing she had to do now was to take good care of herself, and not to cause trouble to her husband and distract him.
