readx; For the whole day, Li Qing'an stayed in the barracks outside the city, the weather was too hot, the soldiers stopped training, and stayed in their tents, only in the early morning and dusk, the soldiers went out of the tents. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After dark, the heat on the street gradually dissipated, the pedestrians began to increase, the family walked out of the house in twos and threes, came to the street for a walk, the originally deserted Suzaku Street was full of small stalls, lanterns, selling all kinds of things, melons, fruits and vegetables, said to be used department stores, small jewelry pendants, everything, the long stalls were full of five miles long, and soon attracted tens of thousands of people to go shopping, making Suzaku Street become extremely lively.

The quasi-people came out to set up the night market, this is Li Qing'an's proposal, this is not the inspiration of later generations, but the inspiration from Samarkand, the night market will be put out, the crowd of people, the sound of selling, shouting one after another, particularly lively.

The night markets of the two cities of Chang'an were open for a period of time when Li Yu was in power, but they were soon closed again, and these days due to the hot weather, the people of Chang'an could not go out during the day, so Li Qing'an proposed to allow the night stalls, and this suggestion was quickly approved by the political affairs hall, and the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian opened up a five-mile-long lot on Zhuque Street for small traders to set up stalls.

This is the fourth day, and the first day is deserted, with only a dozen small vendors, and the customers are sparse, and both buyers and sellers are not comfortable with this kind of openness.

On the second day, the vendors and guests are more, the vendors reach more than 100, the citizens of Chang'an also heard the news to come to see the lively, to the third day, Jingzhao Mansion officially posted a notice, in addition to the city gate closed, the doors of Chang'an will not be closed all night, this news makes the flow of people who go out at night increase sharply, the people who do not go out during the day are used to go out at night to walk and shop, the small traders who set up stalls on Suzaku Street have reached more than 1,000 households.

And tonight, Suzaku Street is even more pompous, the five-mile-long Suzaku Street is filled with thousands of small shops, and every house carries lanterns, illuminating the entire street as if it were day.

Pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, the flow of people is like weaving, each small stall is crowded with guests in front of it, selling snacks, selling cheap jewelry, selling shoes and selling cloth, selling melons, fruits and vegetables, almost everything, the voice of people is boiling, just like the grand occasion of watching the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Li Qing'an's carriage walked slowly in the crowded flow of people, and 500 personal guards guarded the front and rear, extremely vigilantly observing the surrounding situation, and many people knew that Li Qing'an's convoy had arrived, and they all got out of the way and let his convoy pass.

In the carriage, Li Qingan sat in front of the car window, looking at the lively night market on both sides, even he did not expect that there would be such a grand occasion, the dense crowd of people could not be seen at a glance, at least more than 100,000 people on the street, of course, there are Chang'an people pursuing novelty, the whole family came out to see the excitement, but from another aspect, it also shows that Chang'an's current economy is not optimistic, in Li Qing'an's memory, the prosperity of the night market small commodity market, which means that everyone has no money in their pockets.

In the past six months or so, the business of the East Market has been particularly sluggish, which is due to the fact that a large number of powerful people have fled south, and the recession of the East Market has also had an impact on the West Market, especially the prosperity of the night market and the small commodity market, which will inevitably further affect the business of the East and West Cities.

But this is not to close the night market, the business of the east and west cities will be better, the key is to make the people's money bags bulge, Qian Li Qingan is not worried, Anxi has a large number of silver dollars and silver horns will flow into Chang'an, but at all it is necessary to be rich in materials, only when the materials are abundant, everyone's life will be improved, and the people will be rich, otherwise, it is meaningless to buy a bun for a silver dollar.

At this time, Li Qing'an suddenly saw a familiar back from a distance, a plump woman standing in front of a jewelry stall to choose jewelry, she was wearing a flowing white dress, coiled cloud temples, and the surrounding Chang'an people were no different, she was followed by a maid, Li Qingan looked around again, and sure enough, he saw two female guards who were protecting her from afar.

This made Li Qingan very surprised, didn't she go to Luoyang? When did you come back? He immediately ordered, "Stop!" ”

The carriage stopped, and Li Qingan got out of the carriage and walked to the jewelry stall, at which time his guards quickly separated the people around and forbade anyone to approach the stall.

The stall was set up by a young woman about thirty years old, with a **-year-old daughter, and the mother and daughter saw a large group of soldiers rushing towards their stall, and they were so frightened that they hugged each other tightly.

The woman in the white dress was Yang Yuhuan, she was also out shopping, and happened to be seen by Li Qing'an, Yang Yuhuan's eyes rolled, and she saw Li Qing'an walking quickly, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled and said to the frightened mother and daughter: "Don't be afraid, they are not here to embarrass you, they are my friends." ”

The mother and daughter were relieved, but they were still a little apprehensive when they saw so many troops surrounding their stalls.

At this time, Li Qingan walked over, walked to Yang Yuhuan's side, and smiled at the woman who was setting up the stall: "Sister-in-law, I want to buy a few pieces of jewelry." ”

The voice was very kind, and the female stall owner found that there was a young officer standing in front of the stall, in fact, he was not very young, in his thirties, with a black beard under his chin, and she hurriedly said: "What the guest officer wants, just choose yourself!" ”

Li Qingan saw that the workmanship of these jewelry was relatively rough, so he absentmindedly picked out more than a dozen pieces and said to the female stall owner: "Wrap it up for me!" ”

Yang Yuhuan put her hands behind her back and watched Li Qingan choose jewelry with a smile, and finally she couldn't help but say, "Hey! You can see clearly, these jewelry are all made of copper, if you buy so much back, will Mingyue like it? ”

Li Qingan found out that these jewelry were all made of copper, and he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's my mind anyway." ”

He picked out another piece of jewelry with phoenix wings, handed it to Yang Yuhuan and said, "This one is for you." ”

Yang Yuhuan saw that he was still thinking about himself, and couldn't help but like it, so he took it and smiled: "Then thank you very much." ”

At this time, the female stall handed a bag of jewelry to Li Qingan and said, "Guest officer, a total of five hundred Wen." ”

Li Qing'an reacted at this time, as soon as he touched his body, he didn't have a penny, and couldn't help but look at his own soldiers in embarrassment, Yang Yuhuan saw it in his eyes, couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, and said, "I'll come!" ”

She took out an embroidered money bag from the small bamboo bag beside her, took out an Anxi silver dollar from it, and took out ten silver horns worth fifty yuan, handed it to the female stall owner and said, "This is a silver and ten jiao, you count it." ”

The female stall owner clicked on the silver horn, pinched the silver dollar and blew it, put it to her ear to listen, and said with a smile: "No problem, it's just right." ”

Li Qing'an next to him was dumbfounded, Yang Yuhuan picked up the jewelry bag, looked at him in his arms, and said with a smile: "You have to pay back this money, this silver ten jiao, I have to weave silk for three days to get it, I am poor." ”

Li Qingxin sighed, shook his head and said, "Why do you bother? ”

"What's this? I do, you don't know how good it feels that I earn my own money to support myself, I have never been so comfortable, this kind of peaceful ordinary life is what I have ever dreamed of in the past. ”

Yang Yuhuan said, carefully inserted the phoenix jewelry that Li Qingan bought for her on her head, and smiled at Li Qingan: "Look at it, are you wearing it off?" ”

"No, it's beautiful!"

Li Qingan saw that the jewelry on Yang Yuhuan's head was cheap silver jewelry, and he sighed in his heart, this is Yang Guifei back then!

"Do you still want to go shopping?" Li Qingan asked again.

"Yes! I just came out, and I don't want to go back so early. ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled: "Do you want to go back, or accompany me for a walk." ”

"I'll accompany you!"

Li Qingan turned back to his soldiers and said, "Just leave two or three people to follow, and the others stay away, don't disturb the people." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers retreated, but instead of moving away, they mingled in the crowd, watching the movements around them.

The female stall owner waited for them to go away, and then she was busy cleaning up the stall, when two soldiers stepped forward and handed her a bag of silver dollars, and said, "This is fifty silver dollars, and my general will reward you, give us the woman's silver and ten jiao just now." ”

The stall owner froze.

．．．．．．．． In the crowd, Li Qingan and Yang Yuhuan walked side by side, and Li Qingan said softly: "Didn't you go to Luoyang, when did you come back?" ”

Yang Yuhuan pursed his lips and smiled: "It's been almost a month since I came back. ”

"Then why didn't you come to me?"

Yang Yuhuan glanced at him and said coquettishly: "Why do you want me to come to you, can't you come to me?" ”

"But I didn't know you were back."

"That's your excuse, it's not that you can't find out where I live, if you have the heart, you can ask your subordinates, but you haven't asked, and you haven't come to me, so it can be seen that you don't care about me at all."

"How could I not care about you!"

Li Qingan remembered that she refused to go to Anxi with him last time, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he was a little angry with her at the time, although it was diluted now, but he was really busy, and he didn't come up to find her for a while.

Yang Yuhuan glanced at him, and saw a trace of melancholy in his eyes, so he smiled and whispered: "What, were you angry with me last time?" ”

"No, how can I be angry with you as a little woman."

Li Qingxin was a little hesitant, he thought about whether to tell her the news that the Yang family had been killed, but at this time, Yang Yuhuan gently grabbed his arm and said softly: "I know what you want to say, I've heard it, I knew there would be this ending as early as ten years ago, I didn't feel sad, Yang Guifei has died in the past, and I am just a folk girl Yang Yuhuan now." ”

Li Qingan knew that Yang Yuhuan didn't mean anything else by holding his arm at this time, it was more of a kind of gratitude to him, there was a kind of affection in it, but this kind of affection had nothing to do with the love of men and women.

There was also a hint of loss in his heart, could it be that Yang Yuhuan really only regarded him as a friend?

Yang Yuhuan took his arm and walked slowly in the crowd, she said to Li Qing'an: "When I was a child, I liked to go to the night market the most, and the third sister also liked it, at that time, every temple fair in the county would be open for three days and three nights, whenever there was a temple fair, the third sister and I would borrow to live in the county's relatives' house, the two of us walked around for a night, not sleepy at all, time flashed for almost thirty years, and now I finally understand Liu Xiyi's poems." ”

Yang Yuhuan looked at Li Qing'an with hazy eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it is?" ”

Li Qingan nodded and said, "Is it that the flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year?" ”

"That's right! That's the poem. ”

Yang Yuhuan saw that he could understand his state of mind, and couldn't help but glance at him approvingly, and the two walked for a while, at this time, Yang Yuhuan suddenly pointed to a stall and shouted in surprise: "Look, Jade Flute!" ”

She pulled Li Qingan and ran to the stall, this is a stall hiding in the corner, hanging more than 20 pipes of flute, almost no business, the stall owner is an old man in his sixties, he saw that there were guests patronizing, he quickly got up and smiled: "These are made by my own hands, the material is East China Sea jade, if the guests like it, you might as well buy a tube back." ”

Yang Yuhuan took a fancy to a tube hanging on the top of the jade flute, she took off the jade flute, and measured it carefully, this flute is very exquisitely made, every detail is meticulous, Yang Yuhuan is a music master, no need to play, she can see from the appearance that this jade Xiao is the top grade.

"Uncle, how much is this jade flute?"

"Girl's good eyesight, this jade flute was made by me ten years ago, and it is the most satisfying one I have made, I don't want to sell it cheaply, a hundred yuan!"

"One hundred!"

Yang Yuhuan was speechless, and hurriedly smiled: "I can't afford a hundred times, uncle, I'll pay you back." ”

She handed the jade flute to the old man, but Li Qingan stopped her and said, "If you like it, take it, I'll buy it for you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a golden dagger from his waist, Yang Yuhuan understood what he meant, and pulled him away quickly.

Li Qingxin had a hint of displeasure in his heart, and asked lightly, "Why don't you accept my wishes?" ”

Yang Yuhuan understood that Li Qingxin was a little unhappy, so he pulled his arm tighter and said softly: "It's not that I don't want to accept your wishes, because although I like something, I don't necessarily have to possess it, do you understand?" ”

Li Qingan seemed to hear what she was saying, and after a while, he sighed.

"Why sigh?" Yang Yuhuan looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"I'm thinking, if anyone marries you again, it will be a blessing for him."

"I'm so old, who will marry me?"

Li Qingan saw Yang Yuhuan with a joke in his eyes, so he couldn't help but say, "Didn't An Lushan dream of marrying you?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he knew that he was wrong, and sure enough, Yang Yuhuan's face changed greatly, she broke free of Li Qingan's arm and walked quickly towards an alley.

Li Qingan chased after her and grabbed her arm, "Wait a minute!" ”

"You let go of me!"

Yang Yuhuan angrily shook off his hand and stood by the wall, his chest rising and falling violently due to anger, Li Qingan walked behind her and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was joking too much." ”

"It's not a joke!"

Yang Yuhuan turned around, stared at Li Qing'an's eyes and said: "Do you also think that I should be the plaything of the powerful, and any powerful person who takes a fancy to me, I should follow him, General Li, you have to remember that although I Yang Yuhuan is a weak woman, I will never become any man's plaything again." ”

"I know, I know, that's why I protect you like this and don't let you be bullied by anyone."

Yang Yuhuan stared at Li Qing'an's sincere eyes, her eyes gradually turned red, she couldn't restrain herself anymore, and threw herself into Li Qing'an's arms and cried bitterly.

"You know that night, when An Lushan sent someone to arrest me, I had a dagger in my hand, and if I couldn't escape, I would kill myself with one sword."

Li Qingan gently hugged this beautiful woman, he was full of pity for her in his heart, at this time, Li Qingan gently lifted her face and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

Yang Yuhuan looked at him blankly with a pair of beautiful eyes, at this moment, she was full of gratitude and love for this man who had always protected her, she was so attached to him, as if he was the only man she trusted and relied on in the world, but she was not worthy of him.

Li Qingan looked at her slightly trembling red lips, he whispered the expectation in his heart, lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
