Chapter 024: Chang'an and Xianyang
Although Yingxuan tried everything to cover it up, Zhang Jing still saw that she had gone to the kitchen early in the morning to make breakfast for the young master, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even boil a pot of porridge after being busy in the morning.
Of course she could smell the mushy smell in the porridge, but this was already the best she had boiled. Thinking of this, disappointment crept quietly on her face.
Zhang Jing's previous face was as calm as a blank sheet of paper, as long as she had any emotion, Ying Xuan would notice it as soon as possible. He picked up the bowl casually, ate it in a big gulp, and said while eating: "It tastes good, if it is not Jing'er's porridge in the future, I won't even look at it." ”
Zhang Jing giggled, Ying Xuan ate it in one go, and deliberately scraped the bowl clean, and then burped. Looking at Zhang Jing's departing back, he slowly put away his smile.
The porridge is really not delicious, and the mushy taste makes it even more difficult for him to swallow. But this is not the point, Zhang Jing is cooking for the first time, and it is also appropriate to encourage her. Many people may be able to do it in the hall and in the kitchen, but it is difficult for a person who grew up in the sword to go down to the kitchen.
When everything was ready to stop, the four of them encountered a problem.
From all aspects, Ying Xuan wanted to bring Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong is a child he likes very much, he has a self-motivation in his bones, and he is the only witness to the entire grassland time, which is of great help to rescue Li Bo.
The reality was that he was injured, and it was so bad, so severe that it was impossible to move easily. Not to mention the journey to Chang'an.
In the end, Zhang Jing proposed that Zhang Zhong continue to recuperate here, and then notify his nearby parents to take care of him. Zhang Jing usually walks very close to Zhang Zhong and knows some news about Zhang Zhong's parents.
Before leaving, Li Xinyi hid in the library and cried non-stop. Ying Xuan said that he understood that Li Xinyi likes to read and is almost obsessed, and for him, books are everything. And I didn't do the same before I crossed over, but the book was replaced by a computer.
Nearly a thousand miles from Longxi County to Chang'an, Yingxuan was worried about money for the first time after crossing, in order to save entanglement, the four of them could no longer afford to live in a post house, and could only live in a cheap post house.
Li Xinfang seems to have changed his sex, and he didn't say anything polite to him along the way, and there were obviously a lot fewer words. Ying Xuan was still suspicious at first, and it wasn't until many days later that he realized that Li Xinfang, who had always been very arrogant and often contradicted his father, was so affectionate, and Li Bo's disappearance hit her quite hard.
Without the quarrel with Li Xinfang, the whole journey seemed long and boring, and the silence of the other three made him breathless. Finally he came up with an idea.
Tell a story!
"Young Master, is there really an elixir?" Li Xinyi asked with a raised face.
Ying Xuan knocked on his forehead and said with a smile: "If there is really this medicine, will the First Emperor still pass away?" ”
"You are talking nonsense, General Meng Yi is a famous general of the Qin State, how can he covet the beauty of the concubine of the First Emperor, you are also the heir of the Great Qin Emperor, how can you believe this?" Li Xinfang's words are still aggressive, but I haven't heard them for a long time.
"It's a story, everyone can laugh after listening to it, is it more serious? Besides, their feelings don't move you? Ying Xuan seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to sarcastically.
The movie version of the myth, he has seen it, and it is also a movie that he likes more. The reason why he told this story was also inadvertently associated with it according to his identity.
"I have been waiting for love for a thousand years, don't men all see different ideas, see one and love another!" Li Xinfang was-for-tat.
"Well, that's true, but it's not for every man, like ...... Hey, keep chatting! ”
"Bored, go back to bed!" Li Xinfang ended the topic with such a sentence.
Ying Xuan lay on the table, knocked on the table and sighed: When will the boring days come to an end!
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after more than a month of long-distance travel, they finally came to Chang'an City.
Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, were essentially one city. Xianyang is located in the south of Jiuzhi Mountain, the north of the Wei River, and the mountains and rivers are juyang, so it is called Xianyang. However, after Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, captured Xianyang, he burned Xianyang City to the ground.
Later, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, captured Guanzhong, defeated Xiang Yu, and built the capital in Weinan District, Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and changed its name to Chang'an, which means "long-term peace and stability". "Historical Records" once recorded: In the sixth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (201 BC), "Xianyang was renamed Chang'an".
The wide moat lies in front of you, and between the majestic towers and the beautiful blue sky and white clouds, you overlook the world with the majestic momentum of the sea and rivers.
Ying Xuan looked up and couldn't help but sigh: The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties really deserves its name. The city has become a battleground for countless times, and the battlefield of confrontation between two armies. Among them, the magnificent palace and the bustling urban area have been reduced to ruins several times, and they have prospered several times, which makes people sigh.
With the bustling flow of people, they walked in from the horizontal gate in the north of Chang'an City, and the city was really lively.
With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, and there are tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, pawnshops, butcher shops, workshops, temples, public houses, and so on.
There are also many small vendors setting up stalls in the open spaces on both sides of the street. These are not the most critical, the key is that they have a lot of customers, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. There are those who ride in sedan chairs, those who ride horses, those who drive ox carts, and those who use small donkeys to pull goods.
At this moment, it is already evening, and the afterglow of the twilight sunset is sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles and the bright pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous Chang'an City in front of you.
"Don't look at it, this is the West Market and East Market of Chang'an, and all the people in the city do business here." Li Xinfang had been to Chang'an before, and she spoke with a deep sense of pride.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the nine cities of Chang'an were all near Hengmen, that is, the so-called three cities in the east and six cities in the west, the three cities in the east, merchants gathered, selling all kinds of goods, and the six cities in the west, mainly all kinds of handicraft workshops.
Yingxuan traveled around the eastern and western cities as quickly as possible, and was deeply disappointed by this so-called "commercial area" and "industrial area". Not only does it occupy a small area, but the government also has a very strict control over it, not to mention the troops stationed on the periphery, and there are countless officers and soldiers patrolling the market.
It seems that the Western Han Dynasty also made great efforts in order to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce.
"What are you looking for? Where are you going to take us? Ying Xuan has long been a little satisfied with Li Xinfang's "tour guide", she is like a headless fly and leading others around the market.
Li Xinfang gave him a blank look, continued to shuttle through the crowd, and said to himself: The statement should be here, why can't you find it?
