Chapter Seventy-Five: The City of Xi'an

Seeing the tall and heavy city wall from afar, Wu Fanhui's heart was filled with an unusual feeling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For three consecutive days, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin were silent, Wu Fanhui understood the reason, and would never ask, he respected the choice of the two, and also had absolute confidence in himself, it has been more than a year since he crossed, he is trying to go up step by step, in this process, he needs to continue to strengthen his own strength.

came to Xi'an, which was the moment when Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin finally made a decision.

Xi'an, known as Chang'an and Hojing in ancient times, has been the imperial capital since ancient times, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty all built their capitals here, and the glory of China once took off here, and the glory represented by Xi'an, even after hundreds of years, is difficult to replicate.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's son, the crown prince Zhu Biao, once suggested that the Ming Dynasty move the capital to Xi'an, but unfortunately Zhu Biao was short-lived and died before he was able to ascend the throne.

After the crossing, Wu Fanhui came to the metropolis of Daming for the first time.

Xi'an's Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Daming Palace, Weiyang Palace, etc., Wu Fanhui has been visited, these scenic spots or ruins, are included in the World Heritage List, they describe the glory of China.

Unfortunately, all these glories have faded with the passage of time.

I don't know why, Wu Fanhui's heart suddenly throbbed, and he felt that the glory of China could be continued.

The South Gate, also known as the Mingde Gate, was guarded by well-dressed sergeants, which were completely different from the sergeants in many prefectures and counties.

Wu Fanhui, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin are all riding Tuguhun horses, and their momentum is also very good, Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei sisters and brothers in the carriage, although they are thin and weak, their faces are radiant, and their delicate true colors have been revealed.

Seeing the momentum of Wu Fanhui and others, the sergeant guarding the city gate would never be embarrassed, and after reading the road guide, he knew that the young man riding the horse was a child, and he was even more polite when he came to participate in the hospital examination.

Wu Fanhui didn't even get off the horse, and there were still a lot of people riding in and out of Xi'an, so Wu Fanhui and they wouldn't get special attention, after all, this is the provincial capital of Shaanxi.

There is no Dongzhi Street and Nanzhi Street in Xi'an City, the most famous of which are Zhuque Street, Changle Street, Yanta Road, Chang'an Road and Fenghao Road, etc., which are the ancient capital of the former dynasty after all.

The governor's yamen and the political envoy's yamen are all in the center of the city at the intersection of Chang'an Road and Fenghao Road.

Zhuque Street used to be the most prosperous place in Xi'an, but with the Ming Dynasty reopening up the new city, its prosperous area is basically concentrated in Chang'an Road and Fenghao Road, Zhuque Street gradually appears to decline, and the prosperity of the past is not there.

The inn where Wu Fanhui chose to stay was on Zhuque Street, which was specially ordered by the coachman, probably because they felt that the price of inn accommodation was too high in the prosperous place of Xi'an.

Wu Fanhui is not a gentleman, since there is a cheaper place to stay, he will not slap his swollen face and become fat, and go to the most prosperous place in the city, there is not much point in doing that, not to mention that this time the accommodation is not a few days, at least more than a month, or even a few months.

The roads in the city of Xi'an are very wide, and you can even gallop horses, the houses on both sides of the avenue are also very imposing, Wu Fanhui even saw the five-story restaurants and inns, you must know that these houses, completely rely on wood and stone support, can be built to a height of five floors, it is not simple.

Walking slowly on Zhuque Street, Wu Fanhui actually saw an inn called Sihailou, he did not hesitate at all, and chose this inn to stay, Sihailou in Mizhi County is the best restaurant, but the Sihailou Inn in Xi'an Mansion is not the best inn.

The hospital examination is imminent, Xi'an Fucheng is very lively, nearly 1,000 children come to participate in the hospital examination, such a scale, it is rare on weekdays, of course, the township examination in September next year is also carried out here, and it will be more lively at that time.

Sihailou Inn is by no means the best inn in Xi'an, at least the location is on Zhuque Street, it can't be compared with the inns and restaurants on Chang'an Road, Fenghao Road and Changle Street, but the price of the rooms here still makes Wu Fanhui staggered, and the first-class room costs 100 yuan per night, so calculated, it takes 25 yuan to live for a month.

When he walked into the inn, the guy was very enthusiastic and hurriedly helped lead the horse.

Wu Fanhui didn't immediately talk about booking a room, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin didn't speak, if it was according to the original agreement, after he came to Xi'an Fucheng, the two would leave, and they would not appear again until the day of the trial list of the hospital, escorting him back to Mizhi County.

The inn is different from the restaurant, the restaurant has a private room, the inn does not, the private rooms of the inn are all in the guest room, the guys are sending the meals to the guest room, if you want to eat in the inn, you can only be in the lobby on the first floor.

When Wu Fanhui walked towards the lobby, Ma Jigang behind him spoke.

"Childe, let's go to the guest room for dinner."

Wu Fanhui turned his head to look at Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, and spoke with a serious expression.

"You have thought about it, you have made a decision, you can't go back, you know my temper, I don't want to have such a powerful and brave opponent of yours."

Wu Fanhui had just finished speaking, and Sun Kailin spoke.

"Childe, Brother Ma and I have already made a decision, otherwise we will leave when we are at the south gate, and we will not follow you into the city."

"Okay, let's high-five as an oath, blessings and hardships."

Two crisp applause appeared in the lobby, and the shopkeeper of the inn stretched out his head to look at this side, a little strange, in his eyes, the person who entered the inn was a teenager, two young people, a young girl and a child.

"The shopkeeper shall open two first-class upper rooms and two second-class upper rooms."

A first-class room for a night of 100 yuan, a second class room for a night of 60 yuan, a night of accommodation will cost 320 yuan, so calculated, a month will need eight taels of silver, Wu Fanhui believes that if Wu Qingchao knew that he was so lodging, he would definitely jump up and hurt.

Before the shopkeeper could open his mouth, Wu Fanhui took out an ingot of silver.

"Shopkeeper, the silver is running out, call the man to speak."

Ten taels of silver for an ingot, Rao is the shopkeeper is well-informed, and he also opened his mouth wide, he has never seen such a bold master, this ingot of silver, the expenses of five people in front of him for a month are enough, the inn has rules, and the guests who stay for a long time eat very cheaply, unless there are special requirements.

The shopkeeper did not immediately put away the money.

"Guest officer, the rule of our store is to pay a deposit first, and the guest officer has set two first-class rooms and two second-class rooms, and I don't know how long I will live."

"At least a month."

The shopkeeper took the abacus in his hand and began to crackle with the abacus beads.

"Guest officer, if you stay for a month, you only need a deposit of four taels or five dollars."

The shopkeeper said this, leaving Wu Fanhui with a lot of emotion, this is the Ming Dynasty, not everyone sees money, the innkeeper must like silver, but he really calculates the accounts, in comparison, he is not a little too bold.

"Put the money here in the shopkeeper, and settle it all together when the time comes."

When Wu Fanhui said this, the shopkeeper no longer shirked, took the silver with a smile, touched it with his hand, and carefully put it in his arms.

Li Jiacui and Li Jingfei live in the second-class upper room, it's not that Wu Fanhui is reluctant to make money, but to follow the rules, Li Jiacui is his maid, Li Jingfei is his scholar, according to the rules, the two of them can sleep in the room outside the upper room, not to mention the students who are rushing to take the exam, no one takes the maid, and they generally take the bookboy.

Wu Fanhui booked a separate room for the two of them, or considering that it was inconvenient, he was also used to living alone, and he was unwilling to have other people to mix, as for Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, it was an old habit of accommodation.

Coming to Xi'an Fucheng, Wu Fanhui relaxed a lot, there is still half a month before the hospital examination, and there are ten days to report to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, which is more than enough, and the rest of the time is to read books, adapt to it, and it is completely too late.

The man brought the meal, a total of eight dishes, two marinated dishes, four meat dishes, two stir-fried vegetables, and two pots of wine.

In the end, it is an inn in Xi'an Fucheng, which is completely different.

Wu Fanhui is in a good mood, his biggest gain is to leave Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin behind, you must know that behind these two people, there are many people, all of whom are the most elite warriors, as long as he continues to work hard, as time goes by, these people will come to his side.

When drinking, Wu Fanhui took the initiative to hold the pot, and Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin did not refuse.

Li Jiacui insisted on taking the bowl to his room to eat, and also asked Li Jingfei to stand by Wu Fanhui's side, Wu Fanhui did not force Li Jiacui, he knew that girls could not eat at the table, and it was not good to eat in public, Li Jiacui definitely wanted to go back to his room to eat, but he did not agree with Li Jingfei standing beside him, so he couldn't eat at all.

Li Jiacui didn't insist, she had been by the young master's side for ten days, and she had already found that this young master had an easy-going personality and was very good to their sisters and brothers, and did not treat them as outsiders.

Wu Fanhui instructed the man to prepare a meal, the portion should be sufficient, and send it to Li Jiacui's room.

The guy was stunned, judging from Li Jiacui's attitude and performance, the guy could see that the girl was the maid of the young man in front of him, but the young man was polite enough to the maid and took care of her.

The meal lasted nearly an hour, and both jugs of wine were drunk.

After eating, Wu Fanhui proposed to walk around Suzaku Street, but unexpectedly, Li Jingfei also asked to go out with him, saying that he was the young master's scholar and must follow the young master's side.

Wu Fanhui looked at Li Jingfei, a smile appeared on his face, he knew that Li Jingfei, a child, had gradually stepped out of the shadows from this moment.
