Chapter 56: A Night Tour of Chang'an (Part I)

Coming out of Dugu Mansion, it was not dark yet, and it was less than an hour since he was a guest in Dugu Mansion, but Li Qingan felt as if he had survived a few years, and he felt a sense of relief.

He galloped to the residence, Chang'an is full of treasures, Chang'an street beauties are like clouds, these pleasing things are what he wants to see, tonight is fine, go to Chang'an at night to see the beauties.

Li Qing'an rushed back to his residence, ready to take a little money and go again, but as soon as he entered the mansion, he had a strange feeling, and everyone smiled strangely and looked at him with a sympathetic gaze.

"Hey! What happened? Li Qingan asked strangely.

"Shichiro, just go back to your yard and take a look."

As soon as I walked through a door, I heard a young woman's voice coming from the other side of the courtyard: "Bai Wax Gun, you go and get Li Yangong back, he doesn't sleep in the house in the middle of the night, what is he going out for?" ”

Li Qingan's head suddenly became bigger, why did she come?

He turned around and was about to escape, but a pretty young lady suddenly appeared in front of him, "General Li!" She shouted excitedly.

The little lady is about eleven or twelve years old, well-behaved and cute, and Li Qingan feels that she seems to be a little familiar.

"Don't you know me? I'm Xia Xiaolian! You've come to see me in Qiuzi. ”

"Oh! I remember, you are Xiaolian. ”

Li Qingan suddenly remembered that she was the orphan girl left behind by her subordinates, and she still had a pair of cloth shoes in her box.

"Why did you come to Chang'an?"

Xia Xiaolian said with a little twist: "I came with the fog girl." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Wu rushed out like a gust of wind, "Li Qigong, where have you been fooling around?" ”

"Huh! It's been a long time, but Wu Niang is getting more and more beautiful. ”

"Don't come to this set, you explain honestly, are you going to find a woman?"

Gao Wu stepped forward and sniffed at him, and couldn't help frowning: "Full of wine, where did you go to drink flower wine?" ”

At this time, Bai Yuanguang quietly came out of the courtyard, winked at him gloatingly, and ran away along the root of the wall.

"Wasn't I named the commander of the Thousand Niu Guard? So the general of Qianniuwei, Dugushi, invited me to his house for a drink. ”

Li Qingan explained with a smile as he walked into the courtyard, Gao Wu followed from behind, and said suspiciously: "What does your Qianniu Wei Zhonglang have to do with him?" I think he has some beautiful daughter who wants to marry you, right? ”

Li Qingan was taken aback, when did Wu Niang become so shrewd? He hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "How is it possible? Dugu Shi is already over the age of six, and his youngest daughter is also in her thirties, you are too cranky. ”

"Even if you don't have a daughter, you have a granddaughter!" Gao Wu laughed.

At this time, Xia Xiaolian picked up a box at the door and said, "General Li, your things have dropped." ”

Li Qingan was stunned, he looked at the leather bag in his hand, and then found that the mouth of the leather bag was not fastened tightly, and the box containing the Baicui cup had fallen.

"What's that?" Gao Wu was immediately attracted by the delicate sandalwood box.

"Nothing, a gadget." Li Qingan hurriedly stepped forward to take the box.

Gao Wu rushed up and snatched the box, "Show me, what kind of good thing is it?" ”

She turned her back and opened the box, her eyes lit up suddenly, "Yikes! What a beautiful cup. ”

She turned around and asked excitedly, "Is this what you want to give me?" ”

Li Qinggong was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile: "If you like it, take it!" ”

"I don't want it!"

High fog 'smack! He covered the box, returned it to Li Qing'an, and pouted: "There is no sincerity at all, it is estimated that it was bought for the granddaughter of General Dugu, so I don't win people's love." ”

"I told you, there is no Dugu granddaughter, this cup was bought for you, didn't you give me a mirror last time?"

"Hmmm! You guys still know how to be polite, and you know that the etiquette is still exchanged, so this cup will belong to me. ”

Gao Wumei opened the box again with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he handed it to Xia Xiaolian and said, "Xiaolian, help me put it in the bag." ”

"Okay!"

Xia Xiaolian took the cup and hurried away, Li Qingan looked at her back and asked a little strangely, "Why did she come to Chang'an with you?" ”

"It's not all because of you?"

"Because of me?" Li Qingan was puzzled, "What do you mean by this, how can it be because of me?" ”

"You told her that her father went to Lingxi! She was going to leave the country to find her father, but she was caught by the Tang Army patrol, or she was not an official slave, and I happened to meet her, so I ransomed her, and saw that she was lonely, so I always took her with me, and she was willing to be with me. ”

"Oh! I see. Li Qingan looked at the sky and said with a smile: "I plan to go to Chang'an night view, are you willing to go with me?" ”

"Okay! I heard that the night in Chang'an West City is very lively, you can accompany me to have a look. ”

........

The West Market is divided into nine major parts by four eight-zhang wide roads, all kinds of shops are gathered in pieces, such as the rice market, there are dozens of large rice shops, which control the supply of grain and rice in Chang'an City, this is the difference between the West Market and the East Market, the East Market is dominated by various luxuries, and the West Market is the market of the common people, bulk grain, tea, cloth, porcelain, ironware and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, selling medicine, selling shoes and hats, selling fish, meat and livestock, etc., etc., there is everything.

During the day, Li Qing'an went to Dongshi to buy gifts, and there were not many people in Dongshi, so he thought that it was because of the cold and the cold, and the people of Chang'an refused to go out, but when he walked into the gate of Xishi, he knew that he was very wrong.

"Shichiro, this way! This way! Let's take a look at this store. ”
