Chapter 11 The Prosperous Scenery of the East City

People come and go on the Suzaku Gate Street, the shops on both sides of the long street are lined up, and the men and peddlers shout along the street, which is a lively scene. It is very close to the imperial palace, and all the dignitaries living in the vicinity are the dignitaries of the court, and the yamen of various prefectures are also located in the vicinity.

Tang Xiao looked at this grand scene and couldn't help sighing: "It's a prosperous place in Beijing, with a lot of traffic and red dust. ”

Hearing Tang Xiao's emotion, Yu Chi Baoqi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother worry-free, our Chang'an City has a population of millions, and this Vermilion Bird Street Yamen has many rules and regulations, and it is not prosperous. After a while, when you see the bustle of the East Market, everything will be clear. ”

"Brother Erbao is right, the East Market is really lively. Our brothers drink and listen to music on weekdays, but they are all in the East or West Market, and there are too many rules in this Suzaku Street, and it is boring to play. If something happens here, everyone will know first, but no one will find out for themselves. ”

Yu Chi Baoqi and He Ruoying, one is big and the other is a little younger, and they didn't hear the subtlety of Tang Xiao's words, they only thought that Tang Xiao hadn't seen anything of the world when he first arrived in Chang'an, so he was kind enough to explain. And Cheng Huaibi and Pei Xingjian looked at Tang Xiao with some surprise, and they were amazed.

The two never expected that the legendary second fool in front of them would have such gorgeous words in his belly.

Although Cheng Huaibi had no mustard in his heart, he snorted lightly because of his face, so he turned his head. Pei Xingjian was just curious about Tang Xiao at first, so he followed Yu Chi Baoqi to meet him. Unexpectedly, this most noble little prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely different from the rumors. The sentence 'red dust is like a brocade' just now made Pei Xingjian even more amazed.

"That's a wonderful statement!" Pei Xingjian leaned into Tang Xiao's ear and whispered praise, and sat up straight with a smile.

Tang Xiao looked at Pei Er's expression of 'don't worry, I won't say it', and suddenly felt embarrassed.

The master just wants to pretend to be thirteen silently, and it is so easy to be seen?

Until the carriage drove into the East Market, Tang Xiao didn't say a word again. Tang Xiao's silence made Erbao and Xiaopang feel worried, thinking that they had just said the wrong thing.

Several people got out of the carriage one after another, and Tang Xiao looked at the various shops and stalls in front of him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"How about it, Brother Carefree, I'm right!"

Tang Xiao nodded, looking at the weaving of pedestrians, and from time to time there would be merchants from the Western Regions leading camels to pass.

Those people from the Western Regions who were strangely dressed, with blue eyes and yellow hair; Those exotic buildings, from time to time there are a few Hu Niang standing at the door, full of style; and the merchants of Miao Xinjiang in the south, whose costumes are bright and unique.

Yu Chi Baoqi and the others led Tang Xiao around the Dongshikou, introducing the benefits of this small shop and the good quality of that small shop, and pointed to the Hu Niang wine shop not far away to talk about the figures of those beauties in the Western Regions, or cursed how much money they lost in this gambling house.

When he was a teenager, he was always frivolous. There is the heroism of scattering thousands of gold, and there is also the spirit of a sword warrior.

Which of these people in front of him is not a wealthy and noble son, in this Chang'an City where princes and princes walk all over the streets, such a group of young people in brocade clothes will always attract attention.

Pei Xingjian waved his hand and drove away a few sons and brothers who came forward to make friends, with an impatient face.

"Brother worry-free, let's go to the shop given to you by His Majesty first, let's go here with a group of people, it's like a phoenix in the chicken coop. It's fucking uncomfortable to be stared at like this. ”

"I wonder what kind of shop Your Majesty gave King Anle? Brothers, I will give you more cheers in the future. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao smiled helplessly: "I don't know what kind of shop it is, I only know that it's called Yunlan Pavilion." ”

Yunlan Pavilion!

All four of them were stunned, and their expressions were extremely exaggerated. Even when Cheng Huaibi heard the three words Yunlan Pavilion, he began to show some kindness to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao didn't understand that it was just a shop, why did these people have a hellish expression, could it be a music shop? His emperor's uncle is probably not so good?

"Are you all so surprised? What exactly is Yunlan Pavilion? ”

Seeing Tang Xiao look so indifferent, several people suddenly lost their composure.

Yu Chi Baoqi pounced directly, grabbed Tang Xiao's neck and roared, "You guy, you deliberately show off to us!" Yunlan Pavilion, you dare to say that you don't know! Oh my God, do you want to be a brother or not! ”

Enduring Yu Chi Erbao's saliva crit, Tang Xiao helplessly rubbed his ears that were almost deafened, wiped the spit on his face, and pushed this guy away with a look of disgust. Looking at the disdainful gazes of the other three, Tang Xiao's mood suddenly became bad.

I just fucking said I don't know, this is the end of friends?

Tang Xiao didn't know that in the eyes of these four people, he silently pretended to be thirteen again.

As the saying goes, what kind of person is the most hated among friends? That must be not only silently pretending to be thirteen, but also fucking pretending to be ignorant.

For these four people, Tang Xiao must be the one who is most hated by his friends, and he is the only one.

On the way to Yunlan Pavilion, several people were silent. Even Wei Chi Baoqi, who was eager to eat and live with Tang Xiao, distanced herself from Tang Xiao at this moment.

The East Market is prosperous, with pen shops, butcher shops, wine shops, and bookstores all full of customers. In front is the largest ready-to-wear shop in Chang'an City, the best Shu brocade shirt skirt, which is the favorite of the ladies and ladies of Chang'an, and the cheapest clothes in it can be sold for three taels of silver.

This should be regarded as a luxury store in Chang'an City, right?

Tang Xiao muttered in his heart, and quickly calculated the value of three taels of silver, and couldn't help but secretly speak. He did not stop, and after several people, he saw the acrobat, the lute maker, the smith of black, and the butcher who sharpened his knife.

Further on, there are shops adjacent to each other, and merchants gather. Everywhere you can see dignitaries, literati and chivalrous, coming and going, buying and selling. There are also beautiful young ladies, picturesque, horned children, naughty and playful.

Tang Xiao walked and watched, and walked through an alley, and suddenly felt a burst of moisture rushing in, and in front of him was a large lake. The small island in the middle of the lake is surrounded by fog, and a corner of the small building can be faintly seen, just like a fairy palace.

Yu Chi Baoqi turned his head and said with a depressed face: "See, this is Yunlan Pavilion." ”

"A small building in the middle of the lake?"

As soon as the words came out, the four of them all looked at Tang Xiao with disdain.

Cheng Huaibi was obviously extremely depressed, and finally couldn't hold back his mouth and said, "I said Lord, don't pretend anymore." This entire lake is the property of Yunlan Pavilion, how could Your Majesty not tell you? ”

He Ruoying also pouted on the side and whispered: "Listen to my father, Yunlan Pavilion is a daily income, Your Majesty is really good to you, and gave you such a big piece of fat." ”

After hearing what the two said, Tang Xiao was stunned. Looking at the pavilions and pavilions around the lake, I always felt that all this was too unreal, as if all of it would disappear when I woke up from a dream.

These...... It's all mine?

Pei Xingjian saw Tang Xiao's sluggish appearance, so he believed that he didn't know. However, he was not surprised that His Majesty gave Yunlan Pavilion to Tang Xiao.

Two or three years ago, he unexpectedly overheard a conversation between his father and his uncle, saying that before His Majesty ascended the throne, Yunlan Pavilion was the common property of King Anle and His Majesty. When King An Le went to Jingzhou, he gave his share of Yunlan Pavilion to His Majesty.

Tang Xiao listened to Pei Xingjian's explanation, and then suddenly realized. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding and gratitude to Tang Yu.

It is said that the royal family is the most ruthless, but there is more helplessness in this ruthlessness.

Power drives people crazy, money makes people obsessed. And how many people can withstand temptation and keep their hearts?

"Pei Er, let's go to Yunyan Tower! By the way, let Wu Wu taste the Hu cake of the Western Regions, he must not have eaten it! Yu Chi Baoqi made a suggestion and was worried about last night's hot pot.

Pei Xingjian glanced at Tang Xiao, knowing that he was in a hurry to see the steward of Yunlan Pavilion, so he turned his head and said with a smile: "You guys go over first, and I will take Brother Wuwu to Yunxi Tower." ”

"You came to us when you saw Steward Liu, it's still the old place."

Cheng Huaibi saw that Pei Xingjian was about to leave with Tang Xiao, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Pei Er, let me take him over." ”

Hearing this, Yu Chi Baoqi, who had taken a few steps, suddenly turned around, patted his head and smiled: "Hey, look at my memory!" Worry-free brother, it's right to let Second Brother Cheng take you there, Uncle Liu is his father-in-law. ”

Cheng Huaibi smiled embarrassedly, since he offered to take Tang Xiao over, his attitude towards him was not as blunt as before.

Of course, Tang Xiao was also very willing to see such a result, and hurriedly thanked Cheng Huaibi, and cheekily called Second Brother Cheng.

Yunxi Tower is a small building in the center of the lake, and the two of them pass through the water pavilion, and there are several black canopy boats moored at the end of the lake. When the boatman saw a guest coming, he hurriedly helped the two of them onto the boat with a smiling face.

The boat swayed and drifted towards the center of the lake, Tang Xiao stood on the bow of the boat and watched the mist rise on the lake, and the Yunxi Tower not far away was even more chic in the warm light of winter.

"Lord Wang, did Your Majesty really give you the Yunlan Pavilion?"

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Second Brother Cheng thinks what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Huaibi shook his head a little indifferently: "I just think that Your Majesty treats you better than Your Highness, and you are just Your Majesty's nephew." When you first arrive in Chang'an, there may be some things that are not clear. Yunlan Pavilion is not just what you see in front of you, hasn't Your Majesty ever mentioned it to you? ”

Hearing this, and seeing Cheng Huaibi's serious face, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little more inexplicable in his heart. When he learned about the situation of Yunlan Pavilion just now, he was very puzzled, and at this moment, when he heard Cheng Huaibi say this, the fog in his heart became thicker and thicker.

"I don't know what you said, I only know that since Uncle Huang gave me Yunlan Pavilion, he naturally has the reason of Uncle Huang."

Tang Xiao's words were like a thunderclap, which made Cheng Huaibi's entire body tense. He glanced at Tang Xiao heavily, turned his head to look at Yunxi Tower, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Steward Liu is not often in Yunxi Building on weekdays.

Last night, His Majesty urgently ordered his father to enter the palace, and only returned to the palace early in the morning. From his father's mouth, he knew that Yunlan Pavilion was given to King Anle by His Majesty, in addition to shock and doubt, he was also a little worried in his heart.

I thought that Yunlan Pavilion would be in charge of His Royal Highness in a few years, but I didn't expect it to fall so quickly on the rumored prince of An Le, who was unlearned and unskilled.

The holy will is unpredictable, and Steward Liu regrets that he took refuge in His Highness early.
