Chang'an City has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty and has played an extremely important role in Chinese history. There are too many stories that happened in Chang'an, and this ancient capital with a long history is like an old man full of wealth, you can never guess what he thinks in his heart, and you don't know what happened to him.

In Xia Shang's heart, this is the most mysterious place, and it is also the most desirable place, everything in Chang'an City is full of temptation for him, whether it is a wandering merchant or a shouting hawker, or a group of scholars, a girl with an umbrella, it is all novel.

Walking on the side of the Yong'an Canal in the city, looking at this artificially built canal like a big river, it is difficult to imagine how much manpower and material resources it takes to build such a canal. The water of the canal is clear, and there are occasionally a few small boats, and some women are washing their clothes by the water's edge, or a few leisurely old men are fishing by the water's edge wearing hats. There is a stone fence along the side of the canal, which leads straight ahead, and the willow trees are scattered one after another, and the wind carries the catkins, dappling the sunlight.

"This is Chang'an! It's not much like the feeling in the TV series, but these are the most real in front of you! Xia Shang was like a curious child, looking left and right, excited and wanting to run wild.

But he was still with this sick man behind him, Sai Kang really couldn't go fast, and Xia Shang had to look at him from time to time.

Leaving Saijia and walking less than 500 meters, Saikang's excitement gradually went down, fatigue took over his body and mind, he began to be a little overwhelmed, and he reluctantly followed Xia Shang's steps step by step. In the end, he couldn't insist anymore: "Xia Shang, you wait!" I...... I can't walk anymore, rest. ”

Xia Shang still knows a little about this person's situation, and knows that it is a little difficult for him to be in such a hurry, and it just so happens that there is a big locust tree by the canal, and the shade is very large, and there are a few pedestrians enjoying the shade below.

Sitting under the big locust tree, Sai Kang breathed a long sigh of relief and hammered his thigh with his soft fist.

"Young master, if you feel uncomfortable, say it in time, don't hold on."

"Ahem...... Not...... It's nothing, I haven't moved for a long time, and my legs and feet are a little numb, but this condition is nothing serious. ”

"That's fine." Xia Shang wiped his sweat, looked at the people fishing by the water, and said boredly, "Young Master, do you feel more comfortable going out for a walk?" People should be more active, how can they stay in the room all the time because of illness? ”

Sai Kang thought for a moment, and then replied seriously: "I really think it is the case when I hear you say this, although I am tired now, but my body seems to be a lot more active." ”

As he was chatting, the angler in Xia Shang's sight suddenly had a harvest, and listening to the voices of the people around him, it seemed that he was a big fish!

"Young master, you are resting here now, I'll go over and take a look."

After speaking, Xia Shangfei also ran to the stone fence.

Outside the stone fence, by the canal, a seventy-year-old man squinted his eyes with a smile, and a lively carp was hooking and rolling. The onlookers also smiled, and everyone shared the joy together.

"It's still a prosperous time!" Xia Shang sighed a little, this kind of comfortable time is very enjoyable.

Xia Shang lay on the stone railing, observing everything in a leisurely manner.

The two sides of the Yong'an Canal are separated by five or six zhang, and the scene on the opposite bank is not difficult to see, Xia Shang noticed that a restaurant opposite has a unique structure, which is completely different from the building on the street. Although there is a general attic style, whether it is the upstairs window or the downstairs door there is a layer of silk curtain to cover, just this simple silk curtain, in the surrounding attic it looks a little chic, revealing a softness.

The difference is that there are significantly more pedestrians outside the building than around, as if many people are pouring into it.

"Young Master." Xia Shang returned to the shade of the tree, "Do you know the restaurant on the other side?" ”

Sai Kang looked blank and shook his head at the other side.

Xia Shang was not surprised, after all, this young master hadn't come out for a long time.

Just thinking about it, someone suddenly interjected: "Young master?" I don't know the young master? Even the famous Yunshui Pavilion in Chang'an City didn't know. ”

Sai Kang looked at Xia Shang and was a little embarrassed.

Xia Shang looked at the person who spoke, this person was also enjoying the shade of the tree, and his clothes should be an ordinary person. So Xia Shang asked: "My young master and I came from a foreign country and don't know much about Chang'an City. I don't know what kind of door this Yunshui Pavilion has? ”

At the mention of Yunshui Pavilion, the other party suddenly came to his senses, sat up straight and shook his head and explained: "There are four major restaurants in Chang'an City, which are located in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the city, and Yunshui Pavilion is one of them. The chefs of these four restaurants are all famous chefs in Beijing, and it is said that they are no less than the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room. And the chef of Yunshui Pavilion is the most famous, and the famous reason is that the chef here is a woman, called Xu Niangzi. There are six out of ten, and he has not yet been married, and he looks as beautiful as a flower. I don't know how many people in the city want to beat her up. Eighty percent of the regular visitors of Yunshui Pavilion have thoughts about the, and ordinary people rarely go. ”

Xia Shang was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Yunshui Pavilion is one of the four major restaurants in the capital?" It stands to reason that it should be very famous and there should be a lot of customers, but why do you say that ordinary people rarely go? And I think there are a lot of guests gathered outside today! ”

"That's what you don't understand. It's not that others don't want to go, but they don't have the ability to go in. There are rules for entering the Yunshui Pavilion, and people of insight are required to enter, so there is a pair at the door every day, and only those who are out of the pair can enter. Moreover, the price of the dishes in Yunshui Pavilion is the first of the four major restaurants, and there are no bargains. So very few people can match the pair and have the money to eat. Business is naturally colder, today you see so many people gathered outside, but I am afraid that the real people can go in is also 12 out of 10. I heard that there was a royal meal in Yunshui Pavilion today, so there were so many people watching, and there would be no such scene on weekdays. ”

"That's it!"

"After asking so much, do you want to go in? Just dress up like you......"

The others looked disgusted, but Xia Shang ignored it and called Saikang to the other side.

……

The entrance of Yunshui Pavilion was overcrowded, and in addition to the black pressed heads, only the signboard engraved with the three big characters of "Yunshui Pavilion" could be seen.

The guy who greeted customers at the door of the store blocked the entrance desperately, shouting desperately: "Make today's pair first, otherwise no one will be allowed to enter." ”

"Xia Shang, can you see the pair? I've got too many people here, ahem...... It's kind of ...... A little out of breath. In the crowd, Saikang looked a little tired.

Xia Shang grabbed Sai Kang's shoulders and rubbed forward on tiptoe, so after a while, Xia Shang finally saw the topic on the side of the column.

"Young master, I can see clearly, Shanglian is, 'Ask Guanyin why is he sitting upside down?' ”

"I ...... I'm not good at pairs! This...... Let's not go to this Yunshui Pavilion. ”

Xia Shang leaned into Sai Kang's ear: "Young Master, I know." This is the pair on the Guanyin Temple. In fact, it's not difficult, but ordinary people haven't paid attention to it, and the next link is 'hating sentient beings and refusing to turn back'. Go and tell the second boy guarding the door, let's go into the building and take a look. ”
