On the second day, he slept until the third pole of the sun before Xue Lang got up, got up and washed up, and ate breakfast directly. The latest and fastest update ate breakfast, took the gift prepared by Hexiang, called Jiang Lin, who had been going around the house all morning, and set off to his father-in-law's mansion-

Jiang Lin's father-in-law served in the Guozijian and was a doctor of arithmetic in the Guozijian. The dwelling is not in the inner city, but in the outer city.

Chang'an is big, and it is not easy to live. This sentence is not empty words, not all officials can afford to live in a house in Chang'an City, housing difficulties not only exist in modern times, but also in ancient times, and it is still a common phenomenon.

In the Tang Dynasty, single dormitories were provided to single officials, but if the family was dragged along, the single dormitories could not be lived. If there is a mansion given by the emperor or a wealthy family, you can buy a ready-made mansion or buy land to build a house, and if the economic conditions are poor, it is not impossible to live in a poor house.

Yao Chong, the prime minister of Xuanzong, was like this. The economic conditions are poor, so I can only buy land and build a house on the outskirts of the city, but it is inconvenient to work in the suburbs, so I have rented a room for a long time in an inn near the imperial city in the inner city.

Later, Xuanzong found out, and first set up a room for him in the Sifang Pavilion, which was specially designed to welcome foreign guests, so that he could live with his wife and children. However, Yao Chong felt that the house in the Sifang Pavilion was "too big to live", so he didn't move in. After that, Xuanzong paid him to build a mansion in Xinghuafang, which gave him the origin of Yao Chong's mansion.

Jiang Lin's father-in-law can have a mansion in the outer city, thinking that it is because the family's economic conditions are good. Think about the famous poet Bai Juyi, who has worked in Chang'an for ten years, and the money he saved is not enough to buy a house in Chang'an. In the end, I bought a house in Weinan, a satellite city of Chang'an, and lived in it for a long time when I went to work, just like many modern office workers who can't afford to buy a house in Beijing and can only buy a house in the surrounding area.

However, it is such a good condition, that Dr. Su did not regret the marriage, and still kept the marriage contract and waited for Jiang Lin to come to the door, which can be regarded as a real good character. If it weren't for the incident surnamed Lu, it is estimated that there would be no twists and turns, and it would have made my daughter wait forever.

When Xue Lang ordered Hexiang to prepare a gift, it was three points thicker than the usual gift. One time represents his intimacy with Jiang Lin, and the other is to express his admiration for Dr. Su.

It's not that he doesn't want to prepare heavy gifts, but an aunt once taught him to communicate with relatives and friends, don't give gifts too expensive, the so-called gifts are still exchanged, give people too expensive gifts, the conditions are good, if the conditions are poor, it is to increase the burden on people. Of course, those who like to take advantage of others are excluded, and those who give him all your property will think that it should be.

Xue Lang and Jiang Lin both changed into new clothes, and seeing that the time was about the same, they asked people to prepare the carriage and prepare to go out. Jiang Lin said: "Big brother, can you bring the buns?" ”

Xue Lang asked suspiciously: "Why?" ”

When Baozi heard someone shouting its name, he had already cleverly run over, flicking his tail and circling around Xue Lang. Jiang Lin said with a smile: "The deeds of the eldest brother and the spirit dog have now spread all over Chang'an, and there are few people who want to see the demeanor of the spirit dog. The mother-in-law and the mother of the younger brother also heard about it, relying on the intimacy of the younger brother and the eldest brother, and wanted to see the demeanor of the greyhound. The mother-in-law said that if she could entertain the greyhound, it would also be an honor. ”

Xue Lang laughed: "Okay! Then take the buns and they will bother the in-laws. ”

As soon as the bun heard that he was going to take it out to play, he immediately snorted happily, and the tail wagging was called a Huan, and no one needed to say, so he went to stuff the food basin into the backpack, spread the dog backpack on the ground, put the two front paws in, and then said "Wang" to the owner, looking like he was in a hurry to go out.

Xue Lang was speechless, isn't it that after arriving in Chang'an, he rarely takes him out to have fun? This county mansion is also quite big, and it is enough for the dogs to have fun, why do the buns still look like they are in a hurry!

"Wang!"

actually disliked the master's slow movements. Xue Lang was speechless and asked the sky, so he had to walk over: "Okay, okay, let's go immediately, what's the hurry!" ”

Put the food bowls of the four dogs in their backpacks, let them carry them, and then get into the carriage together and set off for the outer city—

When Xue Lang went out, the guards naturally followed. Jiang Lin rode a horse, Xue Lang rode in a carriage, and except for the guards who drove the car, the rest followed on horseback.

All the way out of the inner city, to the scope of the outer city, Jiang Lin said: "My father-in-law's family resources are limited, and the house I bought is in Huaiyuanfang, and my eldest brother will come with me." ”

Xue Lang answered, and Jiang Lin rode his horse to lead the way.

At this time, Chang'an City, although it has been developed through successive dynasties, is actually still very empty, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no scene of millions of permanent residents in the Tang Dynasty.

Even in the Ascension Workshop near the northwest city gate, it is a deserted place, uninhabited. There are even records of tigers in the southwest of Changshoufang.

Huaiyuanfang is between Xishi and Changshoufang, which is indeed a deserted place, but it is already good that a doctor of arithmetic in Taixue can afford a house in Chang'an City.

There is a wide street between the lanes, which are surrounded by tall and thick rammed earth walls, and there are side gutters on both sides of the street for drainage. The square wall is more than a meter away from the side ditch, nearly two meters away.

Each fang has a square door, except for a few squares close to the imperial city only open the east and west doors, do not open the north and south gates, the rest of the fang has four square doors in the south, east and west. There is a doorman on duty in the door, open the door at sunrise, close the door at sunset, there is a curfew on the street outside the fang, dare to wander outside when it is dark, if you are caught by Jin Wuwei and spanked, don't shout injustice, according to the law, "Those who commit night will be punished by twenty." ”

In addition to the houses, there are also shops. There is a curfew outside the square, but it is forbidden to live a modern nightlife, of course, it is impossible to live a modern nightlife, which conflicts with the habits of the ancients.

Xue Lang felt that this was also very good, at least, the appearance of the city and the passage of cars and horses were guaranteed. In ancient times, travel was all about horse-drawn carriages and horses, and if there were stalls on both sides of the street, it would have too much impact.

Speaking of which, although Xue Lang lives in Xingdaofang, he has never gone out for a walk. In several squares near the imperial city, there are many princes and nobles who live. The mansions of the princes and nobles occupy a large area, and in addition to the official residences, there is naturally no place for private shops. For example, a princess who is as favored and meritorious as Princess Pingyang, her mansion occupies most of the mile-

Originally, the princess's mansion was mostly concentrated in Chongrenfang, and the princess's mansion in Pingyang occupied too much area, so the sage gave her a residence in Guanglufang. The entire Guanglu Fang, except for the mansion of Princess Pingyang, is Xiao Yu's mansion, and only these two occupy the entire Guanglu Fang.

"Whew!"

The soy milk suddenly screamed, and while screaming, she turned around and bit her buttocks! This action -

Xue Lang asked tentatively: "Do you want to have soy milk, small or big?" ”

"Wang!"

The soy milk screamed, the front body was low, and the two claws covered the face, which was embarrassing!

Xue Lang laughed: "Okay, okay, it's convenient to let you go!" ”

Stop the carriage and put the soy milk down. The soy milk is not too big now, and it is no problem to jump out of the carriage. Soy milk seemed to be a little shy, and ran to the corner where Xue Lang and the group of people couldn't see it.

Xue Lang was not at ease, and admonished: "Soy milk, don't run far!" Beware of reckless ramming! ”

"Wow!"

The soy milk responded, as if to indicate that it had been heard. Xue Lang was not at ease, and was about to get off the carriage, Jiang Lin said: "Big brother doesn't need to come down, just go over and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he rode over, and Xue Lang sat in the carriage and didn't get down.

Not long after Jiang Lin passed, he heard a sudden shout from the street-

"There are wolves! Shoot and kill! ”
