Chapter Ninety-Three: Searching for Someone in the West Market

Early in the morning of the second day, Yu Lang begged Du Fu to find a way to enter the palace, whether it succeeded or not, there should have been a result at this time.

Du Fu knew that he was concerned about the safety of the red silk, but this kind of thing was also powerless for him, and if he was fortunate enough to face the saint, he would not be reused. The deep palace is heavily guarded, whether it is the news from the outside to get in or the news from the inside to come out, it is extremely difficult for him to arrange a meeting with Gao Lishi last time, even if Gao Lishi intends to help him under the premise, it still took more than half a month to lay out, and it is almost impossible to get the news of Yang Yuhuan who entered the palace last night in a hurry, even in the imperial city, the people who know the news of Yang Yuhuan's entry into the palace last night are afraid that they can count it on one hand.

"No news is the best news." Du Fu comforted Yu Lang and said, "I'm afraid that which concubine in the deep palace has won a reward with my ears and eyes, but if such a major event as pretending to be a noble person is exposed, it should come out soon." There was no movement at this moment, which just showed that she was still very safe at this time. ”

Yu Lang also wanted to get this explanatory word, but when it came out of Du Fu's mouth, it made him feel a little relieved.

Du Fu seemed to think of something and smiled: "But it's not impossible to understand the situation in the deep palace. ”

"What way." Seeing that Du Fu was serious, Yu Lang's eyes also showed light.

"Naturally, your good uncle Li Taibai, he is serving His Majesty as a Hanlin edict at this time, and he can be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, if you can talk to him, this matter will be settled."

Yu Lang noticed that Du Fu's expression was different: "It's been almost four years since you left Yangzhou, and you haven't seen Uncle Taibai yet?" ”

Du Fu shook his head: "I have been to the Hanlin Academy a few times, not only can I not even enter the door, I can't even put in the name post, the concierge of the Hanlin Academy is also a high-minded person with eyes above the top. ”

"Can't you make money?" Yu Lang was puzzled in his heart, and said that the king of Hades was also better, and the little ghost was difficult, but once the little ghost received the money, he always had to do things.

Du Fu smiled bitterly: "Given, the second time I went, I not only gave the silver but also prepared a generous gift for the porter, who knew that the porter didn't look at it and threw it out, and said that I deserve to be famous, and I will only do this humiliating thing with a blockage, and I won't even see the face of the porter after that, let alone Li Taibai." ”

"Even you Du Zimei can't get in, I'm afraid I'll only be turned away if I go." Yu Lang frowned, this kind of soft and hard concierge is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw.

"You really can't help it, or you don't want to see him anymore." Yu Lang was extremely sensitive, and he saw some clues from the change in the tone of Du Fu's few words, and when he mentioned Hanlin Academy, there was not only a little inferiority but also a little contempt in his tone.

Du Fu did not answer Yu Lang's question directly, but looked at the ball chrysanthemum on the windowsill with his hand: "The Hanlin Academy is just a bunch of caged birds raised by the emperor for fun, I don't understand why the porter is so arrogant, and why Li Taibai bends his brows and bends his waist and commits himself to it." He could have done many vigorous things, but he was only willing to be the ...... of His Majesty the Emperor."

Du Fu was embarrassed to say the two words, plaything.

Yu Lang knew how depressed Li Bai was when he left Yangzhou City four years ago, and even felt a little sorry for himself, and chose to enter the Hanlin Academy to serve the emperor, I am afraid it is also related to being broken by Li Yu that day. Now that he has also arrived in Chang'an City, he will inevitably have to deal with the Li family's father and son in the future, as Du Fu said, Chang'an City is mixed, if you can't find a reliable ally, you are afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch, and you have to build your own power as soon as possible.

Du Fu's mind also moved quickly: "You just said that, you already have a way to find Li Taibai in your heart?" ”

Yu Lang tapped on the table briskly: "It's simple to say, Li Taibai doesn't stay between the palace and the Hanlin Courtyard all day, we can't go to these two places, but we can go to other places." ”

"Which winery in Chang'an City has the best wine, and which inn has the best food, Uncle Taibai will definitely be a frequent customer there."

Du Fu smiled: "Not only are you looking for Li Taibai, but I'm afraid that the gluttonous worms in your belly won't be able to hold back." ”

Yu Lang explained to everyone that he was going to visit the eastern and western cities, Xue Wenyang and Xie Zhiqian were very enthusiastic, and only Obaba was not interested. It's not that Obaba doesn't like to be lively, it's that Du Fu's yard has been ignored by no one for too long, and he can't see it, so he naturally can't sit idly by and ignore it as a housekeeper, so he wants to clean up the house for Du Fu.

Du Fu led Yu Lang, Xue Wenyang, and Xie Zhiqian to the West Market, which was further advanced by Chonghuafang.

Opposite the main gate of Chonghua Fang is the Dayunjing Temple that occupies a square of Huaiyuan Fang, everyone can feel the solemn atmosphere in the temple across the high wall, and many good men and women in Chang'an City have lined up a long queue outside.

Seeing Yu Lang looking at Huaiyuanfang in a daze, Du Fu said a few more words: "Master Jueyuan, the abbot of the Great Cloud Jing Temple, and I are good friends, and when it gets dark, I can take you in to have a look, and also purify your thoughts full of nonsense." ”

Yu Lang smiled: "I don't think this Great Cloud Scripture Temple is of any use, you have been neighbors with it for so many years, and the bad problem of drinking wine and eating meat has not been purified." ”

Du Fu's face finally appeared Yu Lang's familiar playfulness.

"If you and the abbot of the Great Cloud Scripture Temple are really good friends, I have a way to make money and help you reopen the Caotang Inn." Yu Lang knew that the reopening of the grass hall was only the first step, and how to continue to operate under the ring of tigers and wolves was the key.

Du Fu shook his head: "Don't embarrass Master Jueyuan, he has always been very supportive of my Caotang Inn, and he also allocated a sum of incense money to me from the temple, but after all, he has to take care of the food and clothing of hundreds of monks in the temple, and he can't come up with too much money." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I said that there is a way to make money, and when the time comes, you will be able to ensure that this great monk is rich." Yu Lang is confident, accustomed to seeing all kinds of pit money roads in the scenic area in the previous life, the soil of Datang Buddhism can be much more fertile, as long as Yu Lang improves it slightly, it is natural to earn a sum of money from these rich pilgrims.

Seeing that Yu Lang had the intention to sell Guanzi, Du Fu no longer asked, since Yu Lang had a way, he was happy to see it happen, as long as it didn't hurt his relationship with Master Jueyuan.

All the way north through Huaide Fang, you will arrive at the west gate of the West Market.

There are few pedestrians on the streets outside, but the inside of the West Market is full of people, from two- or three-story shops and restaurants to small stalls and vendors selling along the street, providing all kinds of exquisite gadgets that Yu Lang has never seen in Yangzhou City before.

What's more admirable is the scale of the West Market, looking up, you can hardly see the edge, all kinds of shops are densely arranged, roughly counting, there are more than 1,000 shops on both sides of the road alone, according to Du Fu added, the accurate number is more than 40,000, including a large number of merchants from the Western Regions, Japan and other countries.

Seeing Xie Zhiqian and Xue Wenyang's imminent thoughts, Yu Lang smiled and said: "You two go shopping first, if you have any rare things, just buy them, you two have money anyway." ”

"Brother Lang is wise." As if they had been pardoned, the two hurried to their favorite shop.

"Well, the most famous brewery in the West Market is here." Du Fu said.

Yu Lang looked up, only to see a beautiful and delicate three-story small wooden building standing in front, the three words "Tianxiang Building" on the plaque are from Li Taibai's handwriting.

Looks like he's not in the right place.
