When the blood sun in the western sky slowly sank to the end of the earth, Chang'an began to usher in the arrival of night, the sky composed of burning clouds made the west still like day, but in the eastern sky, there were already a few stars blinking mischievously, and a hook moon hung high in the dark blue sky, exuding a faint ice blue.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the thick walls of Chang'an New Town, dragging a long shadow, and in the interplay of light and shadow, the power of this empire seemed to be deeply imprinted on this land.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the burning clouds cover half of the sky, so that a qiē is paved with a faint red, this kind of magical beauty is rare, so the citizens of Chang'an have also opened their windows to enjoy this rare beauty.

On the other side of the mountain, the sun is sinking into the earth bit by bit, it seems that it is reluctant, or unwilling, but there are always regrets of one kind or another in the world, the sunset is like a dying old man, and finally escaped into the boundless darkness.

But this qiē is temporary, because everyone knows that tomorrow, in the east, there will be a new round of life starting a new cycle from there, and the sun will rise again from there.

The lights of thousands of homes in Chang'an have been lit.

There is no curfew in Chang'an, and the night has become a carnival for everyone.

Suzaku Street is already covered with red lanterns, turning the entire street red, and there are all kinds of people on the street.

Shoulder to shoulder, thousands of empty alleys, the lively atmosphere is also infected everyone in it......

Zhang Xide is the youngest son of the Zhang family in Chang'an, and he is also the heart of the Zhang family's advocate master, although the Zhang family does not have much industry in Chang'an. But the status is very high. That's because Master Zhang was an old man in Li Erqin's palace back then. When Li Er won the world, he made great contributions, so after Li Er ascended the throne, Master Zhang became a nobleman with a high status in Chang'an.

Master Zhang's life has been smooth, but it is very unsmooth in terms of heirs, Master Zhang has a wife and a seven-room concubine, but he gave birth to eight children in the first round, all of whom are daughters. Let Master Zhang sigh for a long time.

What happened next was like a joke between God and Master Zhang, whether it was a wife or a concubine, after giving birth to a child again, they were all girls, and there were more than a dozen daughters in the house at once, which made Master Zhang's face black into charcoal.

I was going to renew the room again to see if I could marry a boy who was born to Chong Chongxi, but my wife's belly finally fought for breath and gave birth to a big fat boy for Mr. Zhang, which made Mr. Zhang, who was over forty years old, excited for two days and two nights and couldn't sleep, and the joy of having a son is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Master Zhang thought about it for a few days. In the end, he named this big fat boy Zhang Xide, just to celebrate this time. For the only one seedling in the family, Master Zhang can be said to be obedient and do everything to satisfy this little ancestor......

"Steward Chen, come on, my son wants to eat this!" On the bustling Suzaku Street, a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume and riding a bicycle is holding a string of sugar gourd strings in his hand and pointing to a stall not far away.

"Yes, yes, the old slave will buy it for you, young master." An old man dressed in a butler's costume hurriedly stepped forward two steps, only to find that the young man was pointing to a very noble store, and the front of this store was already crowded with people.

The old man also followed the crowd and squeezed in, and after a while, he was sweating profusely and squeezed out of the crowd again, and said respectfully to the young man: "Young master, this shop sells ice cream, you see it's only April, if you eat a frozen stomach, it's not beautiful, let's go to another house to have a look!" ”

When the young man heard this, his expression immediately turned cloudy, and he shouted: "I just want to eat milky ice cream, if you don't buy it for me, I'll tell my father that you can't take care of it!" ”

The old man's face was suddenly full of sorrow, and he said to the young man in a pleading tone: "Young master, have you forgotten about eating ice cream at the beginning of spring last year?" At that time, you also had to eat, but you had a bad stomach, and you felt uncomfortable for more than a week, and our subordinates were also fined a month's monthly payment for poor care, I said young master, you can see if the weather is hotter and then buy this thing to eat, right? ”

Although the old man knows it with affection and moves with reason, the young man's personality seems to be extremely stubborn, and he will raise his head: "This young master just wants to eat, if you don't buy it for me, I will sue my father when I go back." ”

The old man's face was very sad, but in the end, he couldn't screw the eldest young master, so he had to squeeze into the crowd and buy a cup of ice cream for his young master to eat......

"Husband, look! The ice cream parlor in Chang'an has only opened in April. Liu Mengli pointed to a crowded shop not far away and said excitedly.

"Oh, really." Xu Yang also looked at the store, "Li Ke is now in Tibet, Cheng Qian has been assisting His Majesty in handling state affairs, Li Tai is engaged in scientific research in Nanshan Academy, it seems that only Li You and Li Zhe are managing this ice cream shop now, these two boys have heard that they have been spending a lot of money recently, and the two of them do not have many shares in the milk candy factory, and it is reasonable to open an ice cream shop in advance to make money." Xu Yang said lightly. By the way, do you eat ice cream? ”

Liu Mengli leaned beside Xu Yang and said a little shyly: "Where can I eat ice cream in this weather, forget it." ”

Xu Yang also nodded, "Chang'an has been hot and cold in the past two days, so it's better to eat less of this thing, so as not to hurt your stomach." ”

Behind Xu Yang and Liu Mengli, there are also Jin Shengman, Bao Huangnu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Di, Xu Nianqing, Xu Xingtang, Xu Jingshi and a group of servants and others, it seems that the scale is also very large, so that people know at first sight that the person who is the leader must be a noble person.

"Husband, look over there, there is a ring that you played with your concubine before." Jin Shengman pointed not far away and said excitedly.

"Erniang, where is the ferrule? I'm going to play. "Xingtang, this kid is curious about everything, and he wants to play with everything he sees and try it, so when he heard Jin Shengman say that there are interesting things, he immediately ran over and asked regardless of the size.

"Right there." Jin Shengman is also very fond of Xingtang, and he also patiently pointed to the direction of the ring and said.

"Daddy, I want to play." The sharp-eyed Xu Xingtang also found the place where the ring was, and hurriedly ran to Xu Yang's side, grabbed Xu Yang's sleeve robe and said coquettishly.

"Well, if you want to play, go play and see if you can put on a better gift." Xu Yang waved his hand and walked over from the crowd with everyone......

It was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening when they returned to Xujiazhuang in the carriage, Xingtang and Jingshi were still children after all, and they had already fallen asleep in the carriage, and Xu Yang did not wake them up, but just ordered the people to send them back to the wing room carefully and settle them to sleep.

Today is the day when Xu Yang and Liu Mengli go to bed together, so after arriving at the village, Jin Shengman and the royal daughter asked Xu Yang for peace very clearly, and then went back to sleep.

After everyone settled down, Xu Yang took Liu Mengli to the bathroom for a bath, took a mandarin duck bath, and then returned to the wing room under the care of the servants.

The fragrant leaves had already been lit in the wing, and the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance, Liu Mengli leaned on the head of the bed a little tiredly, Xu Yang kissed her lightly on the forehead, and for a while, the breath was very warm.

"Chang'an has become more and more prosperous." Liu Mengli suddenly opened her mouth and sighed,

"Why do you suddenly have such feelings?" Xu Yang rubbed Liu Mengli's green silk and said, at this age, the understanding between them has long been integrated, so they also speak freely without scruples.

"The concubine still remembers when she first came to Datang seven years ago, when there was still a curfew in Chang'an, the entire Chang'an Street was full of patrolling Jinwu, and the atmosphere of slaughter seemed to be suffocating, and the concubine was in the small building of Jingkangfang, and she couldn't even hear a trace of sound outside."

"And now." Xu Yang said with interest around Liu Mengli's hair.

"Now." Liu Mengli's eyes became a little excited, and a little fascinated. "Now Chang'an has become not only powerful, but also prosperous, and the concubine really wants to look at it like this forever......"

"I'll always watch it with you......" Xu Yang's lips were on Liu Mengli's lips......

The stars in the night sky were unusually bright, and the ordinary and great day of Chang'an City ended like this...... (To be continued......)
