Chang'an City, bounded by Suzaku Street on the central axis, divides the city into two almost equal parts, Wannian County in the east and Chang'an County in the west.

The reason why we want to say almost, is because in addition to the Daming Palace complex built on the Longshou Plain in the east, there is also the Qujiang Pond located in the southeast corner, which also highlights the outside of the city, and somewhat breaks the square pattern of the entire city.

Wannian County in the east, also includes the Xingqing Palace, which is the favorite neighbor of the Son of Heaven today, therefore, roughly speaking, this half of the city is inhabited, most of them are powerful families, Liu Ji and his entourage finally found a place to stay, which is located in the east of the city of Jinchangfang, the famous Ci'en Temple Tower, is located in the fang.

The Tongji Building on the street of Jinchangfang is a restaurant with the function of an inn, the building is triple high, the lobby on the first floor is a private room on the second floor, and there are not many guest rooms on the third floor, mainly for those guests who can not return home at night after being drunk, so the number will not be too high, and it is often vacant at ordinary times.

It's not time to eat, there are no guests in the lobby, only some guys are busy, cleaning and wiping the mats, yes, high tables and chairs are not popular in this era, that kind of thing, you can only see it in the shop opened by Hu Ren, and Tongji Lou is a normal Chinese-style restaurant. What is provided is a couch, which is a cloth cushion.

"Is the shopkeeper available?"

Behind the counter, a middle-aged man was pulling the abacus beads, and suddenly heard a loud voice coming into his ears, it was the kind of Chinese with an alien accent, and he couldn't help but raise his head.

A figure who was not too tall walked in, judging from the outfit, it seemed to come from outside the gate, wearing a strong suit, not combing his hair in a bun, but wrapping it around with strips of cloth.

"What do you command?"

The shopkeeper is well-informed, and when he looks at his trend, he knows that he is a practitioner, and he does not dare to slack off.

"How many rooms do you have upstairs?"

"This ......" The shopkeeper was stunned, and said in his heart how could he ask such a question, but he still replied: "But I don't know how many guest officers there are and how many rooms are needed?" ”

"There are not many people, my master likes to be quiet, if there are others, please let them move away."

"Who is your master?"

"My master is from outside, I don't want to be too ostentatious, please ask the shopkeeper to make it convenient, only stay for a few days, and once I find a suitable place to live, I will leave."

The shopkeeper was silent, and it was nothing more than Hu Shang, in Chang'an City, which is full of powerful people, it is really not as good as a dog, and it can be opened in such a place, how can there be no support behind it, seeing that he said it mysteriously and unreasonable, he said with a prevarication.

"There are not many small shop rooms, and there is a wine shop below, since your lord likes to be quiet, it is better to go elsewhere, from here there are two markets, one is ......"

Before he finished speaking, he didn't see any movement from the other party, and a thing rolled over the counter "gurgling", just in his direction, and the shopkeeper subconsciously reached out to catch it, and his hand sank.

"Golden Beard!"

He glanced down and almost screamed.

It's not that the shopkeeper's eyelids are shallow and he hasn't seen gold, the coins used in the Tang Dynasty, except for copper coins such as Kaiyuan Tongbao, are cloth and silk, that's right, they are pieces of cloth, which are hard currency.

The use of gold and silver is still the same, but this person has an ordinary appearance, and it is really rare to throw it away as a piece of gold coin.

"This is a deposit, and it will be settled separately after staying, please lead the way in front of the shopkeeper, and I'll go to see the room later."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Since it is so generous, how can you not make money if you have money, the shopkeeper immediately piled up a smiling face, personally took the person upstairs, and finally decided on the entire third floor, in addition to accommodation, wine and food were all ordered upstairs, such a big business, suddenly made the whole restaurant busy, even the surrounding neighbors also wanted to see, where is the sacred.

Soon, a four-wheeled carriage painted green all over stopped at the door, accompanied by more than a dozen athletes, all of whom rode tall horses, with a very strong appearance, and the leader was even more rebellious.

But what is strange is that the owner of the carriage never moved, and after a while, the head of the guard whistled on the horse, and saw all the guards fall off their horses together, and the movements were uniform, and it was very beautiful.

"It's dirty, paving."

Liu Ji looked at it with a frown on the horse, and said as if he was very dissatisfied.

The onlookers were stunned, the lobby had been cleaned, the water stains on the ground had not yet dried, and it could not be called a dirty word anyway, just when the shopkeeper thought they were picking thorns, an amazing scene appeared.

The dismounted guards unloaded the cages from the pack horses that accompanied them, took out bundles of mats from them, and spread them from the place where they got off to the restaurant, and down the stairs to the door of the guest room.

The new blankets were not ordinary at first glance, they were woven with various patterns, and the long fluff shone golden in the sun.

"It's a Persian carpet!"

A well-informed person recognized the origin and shouted, and even the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at it twice, and when he saw it, his heart throbbed and hurt.

Because, this kind of blanket is not used as a footpad, and a small piece is usually worth a lot of money, either as a cushion or backrest, or hanging on the wall as an ornament, how can it be thrown on the ground.

How can there be one or two hundred steps from the door to the third floor, isn't this a tyrannical thing?

The guards had long been accustomed to the surprise of these people, and they all pouted contemptuously, as if to say that people were rare and strange.

At this moment, Liu Tan stepped forward and knocked on the car door gently: "Lady, it's here." ”

I saw that the car door was opened from the outer door, revealing a beaded curtain, the first to come down were two charming maids, the two of them wore cotton satin skirts, and the hairpin on their heads was inlaid with large gemstones, they lifted the curtain from left to right, revealing a white wrist, and wore a jade bracelet with a crystal green body on the wrist, and the skin was lined with snow.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became nervous, and they all felt that they were holding their breath, wanting to take a look, the maid is like this, what will the master look like?

What appeared in everyone's eyes was a small embroidered shoe, the upper of which was made of plain white cloth, but a pink pom-pom on the head, which gently trembled with the effect of the owner.

Connected to this foot was a slender calf, wrapped in a white cloth, and with the support of two maids, it slowly descended to the ground, stepping on a tapestry of great value, and emerged from the carriage.

It was a completely covered body, with a long hat covering the feet, a white dress, and even an ordinary hairpin on the head, but it gave people the appearance of an immortal.

Until the three of them went upstairs in a curling manner, everyone was thinking in their hearts, what kind of posture they could afford this kind of scene!

"That's a white stack! She was dressed in white cloth from the Western Regions, and she had seen it in the shop of Hu Shang in Dongshi, and one horse was fifty percent higher than Shu brocade! ”

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Liu Ji walked in front of the shopkeeper and said as if unintentionally.

"My master wants to bathe and rest, and we all carry it with us, only this water, which must be a good mountain spring, and I bother you to let people buy a car, not overnight."

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, the mountain spring is used to make tea, how many times have you seen it bought to wash your body?

Seeing that the leader of the guard was about to go upstairs, he asked blankly.

"Do you want to put away these blankets and wash them?"

Liu Ji said without replying.

"The master's things, only use them once, these are already dirty, take them and give them to the beggars, and you can keep warm in the cold and frozen ground."

Everyone was speechless.
