Chapter 14 Suzaku Street
Yan Mansion.
"This lantern hangs here, that, stop, why are you so stupid, little sixth brother, can you put the flower at the gate, don't you take it away quickly." Third uncle, your screen is also wrong. And who else is that... A little girl in the house commanded everywhere and kept reprimanding. The little girl is Yan Yan'er.
A few months ago, Xiao Bu came up with an idea, in order to avoid his father's enemies from coming to the door, he decided to let everyone interact less than outsiders, and never mention the matter of the surname Li.
even asked Xiao Nan to spend more silver taels, hired ten second-rate guards, and the surname of the mansion on the gate, Xiao Budian wanted to change it to Xiao Mansion, but Yan'er jumped out and let Xiao Budian use her surname.
Yan Mansion appeared in Nancheng in this way. During this time, all the rewards of the clan palace were sent, and Steward Li also asked people to send twenty more maids and servants.
Xiao Nan took office, went out of the house every night, and became a night commander, 500 Wen Lu per month, 500 Wen is definitely a lot of money for the county and the countryside, and the people can only earn it for several years. As far as the capital is concerned, it is pitiful. However, for the Yan Mansion, which has a hundred gold, there is no need to worry about money for a long time.
There were three kinds of money in the Tang Dynasty, namely copper coins, silver, and the most expensive gold, a thousand copper coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver could be exchanged for one tael of gold. 、
Xiao Nan didn't care about Yulu, he just wanted to know more about the capital, Taibai would stay in the capital for many years to come, he wanted to know more about the situation so as to protect Taibai.
He Lao was appointed as a housekeeper by Taibai, and asked He Lao to bring his wife to Yanfu. He Lao has a son, but it is a pity that he can't become a martial artist, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and mixes in the capital. He Lao's earnings over the years have all been lost. And just last year, in order to pay off his gambling debts, his son went to Xiangguo's Mansion to steal things. As a result, he was beaten and half-maimed and thrown into prison. He Lao sighed every time he talked about his son.
He is already old, and he has seen it, and now he just wants to enjoy his old age in Yanfu with his wife, and by the way, watching the little young master grow up, he is satisfied.
Tang Dynasty Academy, generally opened after the year, and the same is true of Wuzong Mansion, because of his father's affairs, Xiao Budian's personality has become a lot more silent, he asked He Lao to buy a lot of books, and stayed in the study every day.
Seeing Taibai reading the book, Yan'er also wanted to accompany Taibai to read, but after watching a cup of tea, Yan'er couldn't stand it. Seeing He Lao commanding people to work, Yan'er became interested. As soon as she has time, she asks He Lao to tell her how to command and how to take care of the mansion, and often pesters He Lao to tell her stories.
He Lao also likes Yan'er very much, and responds to requests, and later sees that Yan'er learns quickly, so he is happy and leisurely, and everything in the house is handed over to Xiao Yan'er.
'Taibai, it's the New Year today, come out and accompany my sister to play on the street.' When Yan'er finished her work, she came to the door of the confined study and shouted.
The door opened, Taibai walked out, he lost a lot of weight during this time, and when he saw that it was Yan'er, he smiled reluctantly.
'Okay, young lady, I haven't been out for a long time. ’
Yan'er heard Taibai agree, and happily pulled Taibai out with her. Behind the two, He Lao called four guards to follow.
There are a total of five streets in the capital, named after the stars, and the name of the inner city is Qilin Street. The east, west, north and south cities are called Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu Street. And the southern city is Suzaku Street.
Suzaku Street runs through the southern city, and one street divides into many small streets. Much like a combination of dozens of 'feng' characters. Yanfu is just in the northernmost part of Suzaku Street, if you want to walk from the north to the southernmost part of the southern city, it is estimated that you have to walk for two or three days, which shows how big Suzaku Street is.
Yan'er led Taibai to walk on the street, curious about everything, looking left and right, and her little eyes turned straight. Taibai was very worried, whether Yan'er would come with a bandit temperament, and run away if she grabbed it.
On the streets, there are gongs and drums, jugglers, fire-breathers, broadswords, blowing songs, and countless other things. There are also exotic merchants, blonde and blue-eyed, selling some gorgeous gems and peculiar fruits.
Taibai's depressed mood was gradually infected by Yan'er's active temperament, looking at the surrounding scene, and Yan'er was so happy that she forgot everything, and finally regained her innocence.
'Taibai, it was so funny that the monkey had a fight with the owner just now, the monkey made the owner's eyes swollen, and he would ask the audience for a reward. Coming out of the juggling arena, Yan'er pulled Taibai and said.
Tai Baile nodded, and was about to speak when he saw a stall on the side of the road, his eyes lit up, and he stopped. "Little sister, there's a clay figure over there, let's go over and have a look."
'Okay, I haven't seen a clay figure yet' Yan'er was also interested.
The two walked up and asked the mason to pinch a pair for them, and behind him, He Lao took out a copper coin and handed it over.
When the mason picked up the tool and was about to pinch it, Taibai stopped the mason and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, the clay figure looked at Taibai with strange eyes, and nodded with a smile.
The clay figurines have good skills, and soon the two clay figurines came out, and they looked very similar. Yan'er's clay man has a small ponytail, tight little black clothes, and delicate little shoes like her. And the clay figure that was too white made everyone stunned, wearing a robe and a hairpin head, these are all right, but the height is half a head taller than Yan'er's clay figure.
He Lao and the guards burst into laughter, and Yan'er also looked at Taibai with resentment. Taibai's face turned red with embarrassment.
Yan'er is eight years old this year, probably because her father and mother are more outstanding, so Yan'er's height is much higher than that of ordinary eight-year-old girls, and even ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old girls can't compare to her. And Taibai is only five years old, and his height is only a little taller than that of children of the same age, but compared with Yan'er, he is nearly a head behind.
Yan'er took the two clay figurines and gave her to Taibai, "Taibai, when you go to school, the young lady is not by your side, you let her accompany you, so that we will never be separated"
Yan'er also wants to go to school in the Zongqin Mansion with Taibai, but the Zongqin Mansion only accepts royalty and geniuses. He Lao knew that Yan'er was disgusted with literature and martial arts, so he arranged Yan'er in the Tianyi Sect branch in Nancheng.
