Chapter 13: The Gates of the City
The exit of Luoyang Road, called Shili Street, is dotted with many shops on both sides of the river, including some famous shops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFrom morning to night, there is an endless stream of customers.
The carriage slowly passed through the crowd, and the smell of pastries wafted from the side of the street into the car, which was appetizing.
"Wait!" Zhu Wanting smelled the strong aroma, immediately shouted to stop the carriage, looked at the long queue in Qianxiang Pavilion outside the window, and still said excitedly: "Tiger girl, help me buy two packs of osmanthus cakes in Qianxiang Pavilion." ”
Qianxiang Pavilion is a newly opened pastry shop in Chang'an, which is publicized to the outside world and uses secret recipes that are all palace secrets. As soon as the trial camp was held, it sold well. But because it is sold in limited quantities, not many people actually eat it. For several days in a row, there were more and more repeat customers and early adopters outside the door.
Xu Xiaofan tugged on the reins and stopped the carriage, and she didn't have to think much about it to know that it was the gluttonous worm in her stomach that was doing the trick.
Tiger Girl got out of the car with difficulty, holding a blue money bag in her hand, and did not line up. Instead, he bought from a few women outside the line, like a regular customer. Women are commonly known as scalpers, who come to line up before dawn, buy them in advance, and resell them to large families and owners who are not bad for money.
After a few days of life experience, he understood that these ancients were not stupid, in addition to not slowly maturing high-tech, there should also be social talents.
Xu Xiaofan stared at the two packs of osmanthus cakes purchased at a high price, until Hu Niu got into the car, he had been swallowing his saliva, he hadn't eaten snacks for more than a month, not to mention being greedy. If it's not too expensive, I'll buy a lot of it and eat it until I get tired of it.
The curtain of the car was closed, and Hu Niu unpacked the paper package and said, "Miss, Miss, you hurry up and eat, it's still hot." ”
"Yes." Zhu Wanting pinched up a piece of osmanthus cake, looked at it again and again, it was fluffy and soft, and with a little force, the powder fell on the paper, and the slight 'click' was very tempting.
Death, death! I'm going to die of hunger! As a super foodie, Hu Niu couldn't help but look at it twice, and the spit star almost flew to Zhu Wanting's face. For her, the torture was far more uncomfortable than having her chase the carriage.
Xu Xiaofan was still warm when he heard that sentence, and the picture of his brain was vivid. He is also quite sympathetic to the tiger girl in his heart, the car is full of pastries, but he doesn't have his own share, how pitiful. He shook his head and said, "Listen inside, let's go." ”
I didn't hear a response, I only heard two 'knocks', presumably because Miss Zhu was too arrogant to speak, and she wanted to find a sense of existence, so she knocked on the board.
"Drive."
............................
Chang'an City Gate.
There is a long queue for traffic.
The guards at the gates were searching one by one, and even the old lady's egg basket was rummaging through it, and the inspection was much more intense than usual.
There were several groups of people in front of Xu Xiaofan, and the inspection speed was slower than the other, and he was exhausted, and the sun outside was scorching, so he had to bring a hat.
The two old men pushing the wheelbarrow next to them also chatted during the free time.
"Lao Zhao! Why have officers and soldiers recently been so carefully inspected? Could it be that another Turk has snuck into the city again? ”
"It shouldn't be, it seems that I heard that someone saw the Jiangyang thief in the city, what is it called? There is also a portrait of him on the wall. ”
"I see, that person looks quite gentle, why is he a Jiangyang thief?"
"The world is going down, people's hearts are not ancient, it's better to be careful all the way."
"Uh-huh...."
Xu Xiaofan listened and looked at the wanted notice on the city wall. Jiang Yang's thief's name is Nie San, with a delicate and handsome face, but he didn't expect to rob official ships, plunder civilian ships, kill dozens of people, have many henchmen, and the court has offered a reward of five hundred taels, so he can be so generous, it seems that he is a difficult character. I'm afraid that if I get caught, I won't be able to enjoy my life. He didn't want to catch Nie San and make a fortune, he just hoped not to run into him.
Waited for a stick of incense.
Xu Xiaofan finally made it to the gate of the city.
A tall and thin official asked mechanically, "What's your name, where do you live, and do you want to marry a wife?" ”
"Xu Xiaofan, who lives near Jinchangfang, has not yet married a wife." Xu Xiaofan was confused, and asked if marrying a wife was soft, and his brain was funny......
Another official stood behind him, holding a pen, and made a registration.
The tall and thin official made a routine inspection, lifted the curtain, and the two women sat in the car, and turned their heads: "Didn't you say that you haven't married a wife yet?" Who are these two? ”
"I'm in charge of getting them out of town, you can ask them." Xu Xiaofan looked at the two people in the carriage.
The picture was different from what he imagined............
Zhu Wanting's head seems to be a point, and it seems to be shaking but not shaking.
The tiger girl was pinched by her, and she didn't know what to do, holding back her face, like a female version of Yue Yunpeng........
The official asked again: "What the hell is going on?" Abduction and trafficking of women from good families is a serious crime. ”
Xu Xiaofan was stunned, this is doing something! said: "Let me tell you, if you make such trouble, don't talk about Luoyang, you can't even get out of the gate of Chang'an." ”
It doesn't matter if Zhu Wanting goes to Luoyang or not, it is the first task in her mind to fix him. She suddenly felt that the fire was not strong enough, so she deliberately pretended to be a weak woman, and said: "Official Ge Ge, you have to check it clearly, clearly, and carefully." After speaking, he threw two winks.
It is impossible for the official to be unmoved by beauty. As an official with no professional ethics, he is also very dedicated, grabbing the handle of the knife, pulling out half of it, and saying, "Get off the car for me!" Ah Wu came here. ”
An official who was picking his feet under the city wall, Ah Wu, put on his shoes and immediately ran over, pinched his orchid fingers, and said, "Captain, is there any situation?" ”
"A suspicious person has been found, you go and search him!"
Ah Wu saw the handsome Xu Xiaofan, and seemed to be very happy, the orchid fingers in one hand turned into the orchid fingers in both hands, starting from the forehead (actually starting to touch from the forehead--! He touched it slowly and said, "Okay, Captain." ”
As soon as Xu Xiaofan saw Ah Wu come out, he thought it was a thick man with a beard on his face, but he didn't expect it to be King Kong Barbie, and he was scared.
It attracted a lot of discussion among passers-by at the back, and they looked at the excitement from time to time.
After touching it a few times, Xu Xiaofan's kidney was touched, and he felt a little kidney loss, so he hurriedly said to the tall and thin: "I can prove my innocence." ”
"Oh? Ah Wuxian and so on. The tall and thin official almost paused.
"I haven't searched my body yet." Ah Wu's face, which seemed to be unfinished, actually twisted in place.
When he is finished, Xu Xiaofan may be killed in shame.
Xu Xiaofan glanced at him in fright, hurriedly turned around, invited the shoulder of the tall and thin official, and said: "Brother official, that little lady's skin is very bad, you see that he is dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and there is a giant bodyguard on the side, no matter how you look at it, I was abducted and trafficked by them." You say, don't you? ”
The tall and thin official turned to it in a blink of an eye, and it did make sense. However, I finally caught an opportunity to rip off the bamboo, how could I let it go? said: "Two days ago, my lady took a fancy to a rouge. I can't get any money for this errand. Hey, what do you say? ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's not a respect, you take it." Hey, Xu Xiaofan knew that this would be the result, whether he should escape or not, took out two coins of silver, and hurried out of the city.
