There are three castle walls in Bianjing: the palace city, the inner city, and the outer city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info among them, the outer city has the largest population, like some Beijing officials from other places, if there is no official house, they will generally choose to live in the outer city, like Su Shi lived in Xuankangmen at the beginning. But Cao Qi is different, he has lived in Bianjing City for generations, and he lives in Licheng, not far from Suzaku Gate, which is definitely a prime location.

Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty still continued to use the fang system, but with the economic development and the opening of commercial policies, the market fang system finally collapsed. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the old rule that residents were not allowed to open the door to the main street and engage in trading activities outside the designated market square before the Tang Dynasty was changed, and citizens were allowed to set up shops and trade along the streets in the imperial corridor. In order to enliven economic and cultural life, the curfew has also been relaxed, and the closed squares have been broken down, and the residential and commercial areas have gradually mixed.

The center of gravity of the population in the city is in the eastern half, and the number of fangs accounts for more than seventy percent; On the contrary, the population center of gravity in the outer city is in the west, and the number of fangs accounts for more than 30% of the east, west, south and north, almost three times that of the east. The distribution of out-of-town squares is mostly in the eastern and western suburbs, and less in the southern and northern suburbs. The population distribution is uneven, mainly because the western part of the city is mostly the seat of government agencies, such as Shangshu Province, Yushitai, Kaifeng Mansion, etc. are all west of the imperial road, and the residents naturally return to the east. The western part of the outer city is the place where the Wuzhang River, Jinshui River, Bianhe River and Cai River enter the city, and the waterway transportation is the most convenient, and the population is larger. The Bianhe River is the lifeline of Tokyo, which runs through the city from the west and tends to the southeast after leaving the city, and the two banks of the Bianhe River are densely populated, so there are many squares in the east and west suburbs of the city.

Hua Xiaomei came to Bianjing for the first time, and along the way, she was very surprised by the excitement in the city, and opened the carriage curtain to look outside. Passers-by saw that the little lady in the carriage looked very smart, and they all looked at Hua Xiaomei, although there were soldiers to protect them, pedestrians did not dare to get too close, but the rate of turning back was still quite high. More daring splashes have been watching. It wasn't until Hua Rong couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded her twice, and Li Jing promised Hua Xiaomei to accompany her to visit Bianjing City one day, that Hua Xiaomei retracted her head reluctantly.

But I don't know that Hua Xiaomei has been targeted! And Li Jing and his entourage didn't realize it, and they were still rushing straight to the Suzaku Gate Cao Mansion.

Niu Er is a splash, but he is not an ordinary splash, to be precise, he is Gao Yanei's henchman, he has done a lot of things for Gao Yanei, and he has also relied on Gao Yanei's power to seek a lot of benefits for himself, this is a good thing for the master and servant to benefit each other, but some time ago Gao Yanei appeared next to a bastard named Wang Hu, who was even favored by Gao Yanei, and Niu Er couldn't compare to Wang Hu in everything.

Of course, Gao Yanei is not a person who misses the old, where will he care about the old love if he has a new love, just like that, Niu Er's presence in Gao Ya's heart was gradually replaced by Wang Hu, and his status became lower and lower. Where is Niu Er willing to compete for favor! Definitely compete for favor!

Niu Er made up his mind, he knew that Gao Yanei was interested in eating, drinking, and having fun, but how did Wang Hu not know all kinds of Niu Er in Gao Yanei's eyes now, not only because he provided the news of Lin Niangzi, but also because he helped Gao Yanei find a beauty, and Niu Er also heard that this beauty's Wang Hu relatives!

So the best way to compete for favor is to help the yamen find a beauty, but the four-legged toad is easy to find, but the beauty of the country is difficult to find, so Niu Er is wandering around every day, asking which family has a beautiful female dependent. But people who live in Bianjing know that Niu Er is not a good thing, but whoever is a person with a clear conscience will tell Niu Er the news and push people into the fire pit!

After many days of nothing, Niu Er was extremely depressed, but at this moment, a savior-like person appeared in Niu Er's eyes, it was Hua Xiaomei. When Hua Xiaomei leaned out of the carriage and looked out, she happened to be discovered by Niu Er! That's right, the smiling little sister is the savior in Niu Er's heart at this moment, seeing this savior appear in front of him, Niu Er has only one thought in his heart: "If I bring this beauty to Yanei, how will Yanai reward me?" ”

Niu Er was about to investigate the family history of this beauty, only to notice that this beauty was protected by a small team of officers and soldiers, Niu Er hesitated in his heart, this little lady must be the noble daughter of a certain official eunuch's family. Niu Er saw one of the soldiers say a few words to the beauty, and the beauty reluctantly sat back in the carriage. Niu Er looked at this beauty and smiled, although it was not amorous, but it had a unique taste.

Seeing this, Niu Er made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, the key is to find out where this little lady lives first. If he is not a high-ranking official, he only needs to report it to Gao Yanei, Niu Er followed Hua Xiaomei's frame closely, and vowed to find out the beauty's residence before he would give up.

……

Li Jing didn't know that there was a tail behind him, if he knew Niu Er's thoughts, it was estimated that the skinning cramps would be light. Approaching Cao's Mansion, the so-called hometown timidity, is about to see Cao Qi, to be honest, Li Jing is still a little nervous in his heart.

It didn't take long for the group to enter Cao's Mansion, and Niu Er, who had been quietly following behind him, also thought that he had guessed the beauty's family background and had quietly left.

"But Jing'er is back?" Not long after entering the mansion, Li Jing heard a familiar voice and looked in the direction where the voice came from. I haven't seen him for a year, Cao Qi is still the same old look, and he still likes to squint with a smile. Now that there were even more wrinkles on his face, Li Jing suddenly felt very kind, and said directly: "The little nephew has seen my uncle, but I haven't seen him for a year, is my uncle still healthy?" ”

"Good, all well!" Cao Qi stepped forward to help Li Jing up, and couldn't help laughing, especially when Cao Qi saw the little sister Hua who was getting off the carriage, he was very happy, and patted Li Jing's shoulder and said three more words, "Okay!" ”。

Immediately, Li Jingcai remembered the people next to him, and hurriedly introduced to Cao Qi one by one: "Uncle, this one is called Lu Zhishen, and before he became a monk, he was called Luda, known as 'Flower Monk', and he is really extraordinary in martial arts. ”

"This one is called Hua Rong, and his one-handed magic shot is comparable to Li Guang in the early Han Dynasty, and he is known as 'Little Li Guang' Hua Rong, and he is now Wuzhi Village, Qingzhou Qingfeng Village."

Cao Qi both nodded, and Lu Zhishen and Hua Rong also saluted without mentioning it. At this moment, Hua Xiaomei also got out of the carriage and walked to Hua Rong's side and looked at Li Jing.

"Uncle, cough cough, this one is Hua Mingyue," Li Jing originally wanted to introduce here, but seeing that Hua Xiaomei was still a little unsatisfied, she could only continue: "En... Kindness... I call her little sister every day, and my uncle can call her that. ”

"I've been waiting for a long time, and you're going to introduce me like that?" Hua Xiaomei was secretly angry in her heart, if it weren't for Cao Qi next to her, she was afraid that she would be beaten up!
