Kyoto. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since the founding of the Nanqing Dynasty, this city has become its national capital, and it is unknown how many years of history it has been.

But when he got out of the carriage and looked at the majestic city, Zhang Hua seemed to see a standing giant, and from a distance, he was shocked by its size.

In addition to Zhao Xue and Xiaoqing, the others, including Meng Wuchang, were all coming to Kyoto for the first time, and their eyes revealed a little shock, and there was an inexplicable expression in their hearts.

Kyoto has a population of one million! In addition to the common people and magnates, the figures of foreign businessmen are also constantly interspersed in it, and monk trails abound.

The sea is tolerant of all rivers, there is tolerance is great, this city is full of bread, and the stone city where he and others once lived cannot reach a corner of Kyoto.

Whether it is prosperous, population, or land area, there is no comparison between the two at all.

Now several people got off the carriage and kept walking through the crowded crowd, and they were also full of emotion in their hearts.

Because there are regulations in Kyoto that ordinary people are not allowed to drive horses and carriages in the market, Zhang Yi led the horses and followed behind a few people.

At the fork of a market, Zhao Xue's maid Xiaoqing pointed to the right and said to Zhang Hua: "Zhang Gongzi, Meng Gongzi, I'm afraid we will be separated here."

Drive another kilometer to the right, where there are many inns, you can settle there, thank you for taking us for a ride recently, the little woman took our young lady here Thank you. ”

As soon as Zhao Xue came back to Kyoto, her face was a little sullen, and at the same time, she was afraid of being ridiculed by Zhang Hua when she opened her mouth, so she put her hands behind and stood aside coolly without speaking.

After Xiaoqing saw the general appearance of her young lady, she sighed in her heart and said with a wry smile.

After Zhang Hua heard it, he smiled slightly, glanced at the direction that Xiaoqing was pointing, and he also responded: "Thank you girl for telling me, we will have a fate in the future... Well, take care. ”

After the housekeeper Lao Ling and Zhang Yi saw Zhang Hua's sudden change of words, they covered their mouths and sneered, and then saw that Zhao Xue's body beside Xiaoqing had begun to twitch, and they were even more happy.

After Xiaoqing heard this, she was also a little uncomfortable on her face, her own young lady was so unpopular, and she was a little shameless as a maid.

"Take care of your son, Kyoto is no better than others, although this is the capital of Nanqing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but you must also be careful in everything."

"Thank you."

Let's talk about it. The group was also separated.

After glancing at the figure that had disappeared from the crowd a few times, Xiaoqing turned to Zhao Xue and said, "Miss, let's go back." ”

"Go back? When my father sees me, he will definitely get angry, isn't this self-defeating when I go back? Zhao Xue said with a suffocating face, Xiaoqing smiled lightly after hearing it,

"Even so, Miss has to go home."

"yes, I'm going home...... By the way, Xiaoqing, when I go home, my father asks me why I ran away from home, why don't I say that you kidnapped me? ”

"Ahem... Miss, the weather is really nice today. ”

………

"Brother Zhang, let's leave it at that." Somewhere, Meng Wuchang said to Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua glanced at him a few times unexpectedly, and then said in surprise: "Why don't you pass, could it be that Brother Meng has found a place to stay?" ”

"No, all the way over, Brother Zhang must know the real situation, I really can't afford to live in the inn."

After seeing Zhang Hua ready to speak, Meng Wuchang quickly restrained him and continued: "After a few days, I know that Brother Zhang is kind by nature, and I will definitely invite me to stay with me next, and Brother Zhang will definitely pay for it." ”

"Brother Zhang's kindness I understand, but the gentleman has something to do, something not to do, and he rides for free along the way, which has made me feel guilty about my conscience, if I continue to eat and drink in vain, then how can Meng's conscience be at peace?"

Meng Wuchang said very persistently and sincerely, along the way, he was really as he said, but at that time it was also helpless.

There are no other towns on the way, and if you don't go with Zhang Hua, then you may really starve to death.

He came to Kyoto to participate in the imperial examination, and for it, Meng Wuchang had already left his own spirit once, and now after coming to Kyoto, he couldn't do it a second time.

Meng Wuchang's insistence on this moved Zhang Hua a little, and Zhang Hua has always thought that he is a bit pedantic and does not know how to be flexible, but now, he has seen another side of Meng Wuchang.

His persistence, his bottom line.

This really made Zhang Hua have a different understanding of him. Originally, he wanted to persuade, but after seeing the light in Meng Wuchang's eyes, Zhang Hua nodded silently.

Then he glanced at the green willow, the green willow blessed his soul, and also took out some trivial silver, Meng Wuchang saw it, he knew what Zhang Hua meant, and quickly took a few steps back, and now he waved his hand again and again: "I can't help it, Brother Zhang, this is really unacceptable." ”

took the silver from Luliu's hand, regardless of Meng Wuchang's refusal, Zhang Hua also forced it into his hand: "The one lent to you is let you come to the emergency, you don't need to look at you, but you have to pay me interest when you pay me back." ”

Meng Wuchang let out a long sigh at this time, he was very depressed and helpless at the moment.

In the past, Meng Wuchang thought that money was a thing, but these things that he looked down on the most hit his pride and self-esteem every time.

A penny can be difficult for a good man, and a penny can also make a poor scholar with a high heart and arrogance forced to reluctantly let go of his last dignity.

"Thank you... Thank you Brother Zhang, I will return the same amount one day! ”

"Brother Meng, cherish."

"Precious!"

Immediately, Meng Wuchang carried his back basket, straightened his back, and left here.

Zhang Hua looked at his back a little confused, as if there was a fog in his eyes, he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, and he couldn't see the people inside clearly.

Subsequently, Zhang Hua and his group of four also walked towards the inn, but now, they unexpectedly encountered another problem.

There are no more rooms at the inn.

It's May, and there's still a month to go before the start of June. There is plenty of time, but countless candidates come to Kyoto one after another, but there are a number of Kyoto inns and guest rooms, a quantitative, a variable, and just like that, the inns in the whole city of Kyoto have actually reached the point of a vacuum.

"Shopkeeper, is there really no vacancy, if you want to increase the price, you just say it." The housekeeper Lao Ling stepped forward and asked, and after the innkeeper heard about it, he also said helplessly: "This guest officer, no matter how I am, I will not go over with the money, and now I really have no room."

The more than forty empty rooms in my inn are now all full, and there are even seven or eight people, and now they are still crowded into the same room at the same time. There really isn't any. ”

"Then dare to ask the shopkeeper, the other inns around are also in this situation?"

"This guest officer, to tell you the truth, all the inns in Kyoto are full now, and they are all candidates this year.

You're too late, some of the candidates arrived in March, and they almost have nowhere to stay, so if there are any more vacancies at this moment, I'll give you the whole inn. The shopkeeper said.

And after Lao Ling heard this, he also frowned, he didn't expect that it would be like this now. Originally, he thought that the shopkeeper wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price, but after hearing the shopkeeper finish the second half of the sentence, he felt a trace of worry in his heart.

Kyoto has a curfew at night, and no pedestrians are allowed in the market at 9 p.m.

Unless they are homeless beggars who live by begging, they are not allowed to move around freely, they can only hide in an alley, and cannot make any noise.

Now, the time is noon, and there is still a lot of time before Haishi, but after hearing the shopkeeper say this, Lao Ling feels that if he goes to other inns, he may return in vain.

"Are you really going to be on the streets tonight?"

After the shopkeeper saw Lao Ling's embarrassed face, he said tentatively: "This guest officer, is it okay, I will talk to the candidates in the guest room and let you live together?" ”

"No way!" Lao Ling decisively refused and said.

If you want your young master to live with a stranger, Lao Ling must not let this kind of thing happen, not to mention the safety issue, with the true identity of the young master, how can they collapse with the young master?

"Since you don't want to, then I don't have anything to do, guest officer, you can do it yourself." The shopkeeper said in a not very high mood.

After Lao Ling heard this, he arched his hand at him, and also left here, explaining the situation to Zhang Hua, who was waiting outside, but before he could speak, Zhang Hua preemptively said, "Steward Ling, how much silver do you have there?" ”

"Silver?" After Lao Ling heard this, he took out the only few copper plates on his body, stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Hua: "Isn't the silver kept by Green Willow?" Why did the young master ask me? ”

After Zhang Hua saw a few copper plates lying alone in Lao Ling's hand, he sighed helplessly, Lao Ling felt a little strange, and then looked at the green willow

Lu Liu pursed his mouth a little aggrieved, and his big eyes also had some mist, and he said pitifully: "Steward Ling, we have no money now, plus the few copper plates you have in hand, we only have ten taels of silver left." ”

"Ten taels of silver?"

Lao Ling said in surprise, but recalling that after he and the others were sacked by the bandits, Lao Ling didn't say anything, paused, and then Lao Ling said the accommodation problem with an embarrassed face.

"No... Don't have a room? ”

After Zhang Hua heard about it, he realized that he had also reached the end of his life.

Recalling his generosity to Meng Wuchang just now, after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Hua asked Lao Ling, "Steward Ling, do you know where Suzaku Street is?" ”

"Suzaku Street? Young master, what are you doing there? Lao Ling's body was shocked, all the people living on Vermilion Bird Street were powerful, how could his young master think of going there? In case the identity is discovered by that sharp-eyed person, then......

"It's nothing, ask Zhao Xue for money, bring her to Kyoto from Qixia Town, and don't even give a penny, she really thinks I'm here for a bus?"

"Bus... Bus? What kind of carriage is that? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a carriage that can be stuffed into the whole world...... Zhang Hua said casually, but the rest of the people were shocked when they heard it: "Stuff it into the carriage under the whole world." This is a god car! ”
