Chapter 24: Shopping with the Princess
Most of the teachers of the Thorn Horse Academy are well-educated, among which Yang Hao's favorite is the national policy professor who talks about the air, talking about the short and fat of the empty life, a handful of mustaches, unkempt, and sloppy on the outside, he often carries a bunch of books to the lecture hall, but when he really lectures, he never turns the book, the sea and the sky, and the witty words. Especially when talking about the situation around the Tang Dynasty, it is even more like a treasure, and the names of those foreign leaders who are difficult to remember are said in his mouth, but they are as clear as tongue twisters.
On this day, Tan Kong was talking endlessly about the history of the interaction between the Tang Dynasty and Silla. Suddenly, the door of the house was slammed open, and two Jinwuwei lieutenants led a group of soldiers to break in murderously, shouting: "Who is called Yang Hao, stand up!" ”
Everyone didn't understand what was going on, and their eyes fell on Yang Hao's body. The captain waved his hand, and the troops rushed forward to arrest Yang Hao. Seeing this, Yangshan and Yang Hongyang immediately got up to stop them, and other students also came to help when they saw this.
Tan Kong was very annoyed, pointed at Jin Wuwei and reprimanded: "Whatever place you guys are, get out of here!" The lieutenant sneered: "In the name of Princess Yichun, we came to take people, are you old things?" ”
Tan Kong's morality is highly respected, and he has a very high status in the hearts of the students, and the students are all indignant when they see the teacher being insulted. Yangshan walked in front of the captain with an arrow, and a "pillar pulling out the mountain and don't have the horse's legs" pressed the captain to the ground.
When all the soldiers saw him so fierce, they all panicked. Tan Kong shouted and stopped, and asked Yangshan to let go of the captain. He asked, "Who are you who have come here to spread wilderness?" The lieutenant had lost his temper at this time, and said with a sad face: "Mr. Huiyu, the lowly Zuo Jinwu Wei Si Ge Weihua, Princess Yichun ordered the lowly to bring Yang Hao to Xingqing Palace within an hour, otherwise the head of the lowly will be cut off." Please be merciful and let Yang Hao go with his humble position. ”
Tan Kong asked Yang Hao: "What is going on?" ”
Yang Hao guessed that Li Qing was looking for him, probably because he said the wrong thing in the restaurant that day. So he replied, "The student has angered Her Royal Highness. This matter must be understood by the students themselves, and the teacher must be allowed to take a leave of absence for half a day. ”
Tan Kong nodded, but Yangshan shouted: "Big brother can't go, that Princess Yichun is rude, the world knows it, are you afraid that you won't be able to come back?" Let's go together to ask the master of the Shao Academy, the master of the Shao Yuan is a veteran of the four dynasties, and His Majesty is also respectful, forgive the barbarian princess and dare not come here. Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth." Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”
Yangshan still wanted to persuade, but Tan Kong said: "Let him go." Every man's business, every man's business. You're going to have to get through this. ”
……
Wei Hua took Yang Hao all the way and suddenly stopped when he arrived at the gate of Dongshi.
A few plainclothes guards at the door came to pick up the horses of the two, and Yang Hao asked in surprise: "Brother, are we going the wrong way, this is Dongshi, and Xingqing Palace is still ahead." Wei Hua said: "Hey, what are you talking about, just follow me." If you miss the hour, you won't be able to run away from cutting off my head. The two of them crossed two streets and came to a restaurant on the edge of the dragon's tail.
Delong Building, a three-storey building, is the most famous Sichuan restaurant in Chang'an City. Yang Hao was surprised in his heart: Didn't you say that you wanted to punish me, why did you come to the restaurant? You can't just say the wrong thing and invite me to eat a severed head, right? Wei Hua led him through the lobby to a small courtyard at the back of the building, which was a hotel attached to Delong Building. Wei Hua handed Yang Hao over to the two young men in Tsing Yi who were disguised as men at the door, and urged in a low voice: "Go in and report to the princess, the hour is coming." A palace maid smiled and said: "The princess said casually, look at what scares you, how to be a general like this." ”
Wei Hua wiped his sweat and said, "You said lightly, who can touch my aunt's temper?" If one is unhappy, my eating guy will be gone, but I am old and young, and I am not hungry than you alone to feed the whole family. ”
The two were still talking, and the sound of smashing things came from the yard: "Jin Taoyin, you want to be angry with me, ask you to buy a fan belt, what did you buy?" Don't buy one again! As soon as they heard Li Qing get angry, Wei Hua and the palace maid immediately shut up.
"Smack!" A tea bowl flew out of the house and shattered, and a slender and tall girl retreated to the courtyard tremblingly, turned around and wiped her tears and walked out. Wei Hua lowered his head and wanted to hide, but it was too late.
"Why is it so hard to get you to take someone? What use is it for you? Jin Taoyin scolded Wei Hua for slashing his head and covering his face, and his mood was much better, when he suddenly saw Yang Hao, he was suddenly angry again: "Who is he?" Who told you to bring an outsider to this place without my permission? ”
"Down there is Yang Hao."
"You-" Jin Taoyin's face turned blue and red, and he suppressed the anger in his chest, and forced out a little smile: "Since you're here, don't stand outside, come in, princess wait." ”
This time it was Yang Hao's turn to be surprised: Look at what this means, there are still good things waiting for me inside? Otherwise, how could someone as fierce as Jin Taoyin laugh at him? Even though this smile is better than crying, I can't see where it goes.
"Call him in." Princess Yichun's voice was also unusually gentle.
Yang Hao looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, a rare good day.
Li Qing suddenly opened the bamboo curtain and jumped out, she was wearing a brocade hat on her head, a brocade robe with a lapel and narrow sleeves, a striped trousers underneath, and a light cyan ribbon tied around her waist. This is the hufu worn by the women of the northern nomadic people every day, and it is very pretty on Li Qing.
"How's that, is it pretty?" Li Qing turned around lightly and showed off her new clothes.
"Beautiful." Yang Hao praised sincerely.
"Don't compliment me." Li Qingjiao said angrily.
"It's not lying, it's really good." Yang Hao said sincerely.
Li Qing suddenly looked down at the ribbon around her waist, and said dissatisfiedly, "If only it were pink." ”
Yang Hao smiled and said: "This one is also very suitable, the pink one is too vulgar, and it is not suitable for the identity of the princess." ”
Hearing Yang Hao speak for himself, Jin Taoyin cast a grateful glance. Li Qing thought for a while and nodded: "Let's just believe you this time, go and accompany the palace to the street to play." ”
Shopping, shopping with the princess? Yang Hao couldn't laugh or cry, and he did it for a long time.
……
Chang'an has two major markets in the east and the west market, the east market is only one street away from the Xingqing Palace, because it is close to the three major inner (Taiji Palace in the west, Daming Palace in the east, Xingqing Palace in the south), the royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding square and the dignitaries of the first residence, so the city "the treasures of the four directions, are all accumulated", the goods that are operated, the above luxury goods are more, to meet the needs of the royal relatives and dignitaries.
The market is surrounded by the same as the Li Fang, there is a tall wall, the area is almost the same as the Xingqing Palace, there are four main streets in the city, there are two gates on each side of the wall, the city is full of traffic, the department stores gather, it is very lively.
Li Qing obviously didn't come here for the first time, he was familiar with the road, and after a few rendezvous, he threw Jin Taoyin, Wei Hua and other entourages away without a trace. Although Yang Hao's calves were numb and dizzy, he was still able to keep up. One is that Yang Hao has a solid foundation and abundant physical strength, but the main thing is that Li Qing has been holding his hand.
A few more streets down, Yang Hao felt that he was about to lose, and gradually lost his ability to distinguish between southeast and northwest.
Li Qing plunged into a spice shop, which was opened by a Persian, and in order to attract customers, the owner set up a few rattan chairs at the gate for customers who were tired of shopping. As soon as Yang Hao entered the door, he sat down on the rattan chair and couldn't move, Li Qing snorted disdainfully, and ran to choose spices by himself. Yang Hao begged for a cup of tea and was drinking, Li Qing had already selected the spices, seeing that Yang Hao was drinking tea, his eyes rolled, he picked up the spices and left.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped and begged for money, Li Qing pointed at Yang Hao and said, "Ask him for it." After speaking, he made a playful grimace at Yang Hao and jumped out of the door. Yang Hao complained bitterly in his heart, he was pulled from the classroom, where did he get the money? After searching all over the body, there were only one or two or eight coins of broken silver, and the bearded shopkeeper shook his head to indicate that it was not enough. Yang Hao gritted his teeth and gave him the peiyu on his body. Hurry up and go out to find Li Qing - there are crowds of people on the street, how can there be any trace of her?
Yang Hao was anxious, although the security in Chang'an City was not too bad, but after all, Li Qing had lived in the deep palace for a long time and was not familiar with the world.
"Young Master Qing, Li Qing!" Yang Hao stood in the middle of the street in a panic and shouted.
"Li Qing", an ordinary name, shouted out from the mouth of Yang Hao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, without attracting too much attention at all. shouted a street and didn't see anyone, so Yang Hao changed another street. When he reached the third street corner, he suddenly noticed a group of people fighting around the dragon's tail swing not far away. I only heard Li Qing's shrill voice scolding: "Beat me, kill this stinky bastard!" ”
