Chapter 232: Elm Pimple
North Street is an old street in the capital.
For this dynasty, Lin'an City is the old capital, and this is the new capital after the capital is moved, but pushing forward, this city was the capital of some old dynasties.
The city was built early, and the development has been for a long time.
Even if this dynasty built the capital of Lin'an City, before the first emperor moved the capital, it did not fall here.
Lin'an is in the south of the Yangtze River, and this is the north.
One south and one north, each prosperous.
After the capital was moved, it became the capital "again" and became more and more prosperous.
And this North Street, as the name suggests, is in the north of the city.
This street has been around for hundreds of years, and it is a fast walk from one end to the other, and it takes two or three quarters of an hour to walk.
It is precisely because of its long history that the shops on both sides are stuffed to the brim, and when Lin'an wants to squeeze in with the "big households" going north, there will be no space.
The price is high, the building is relatively old, at first the old man and the new customer also came and I went back and forth, and later, those big families simply found another way, and the next street parallel to North Street was revitalized.
However, in two or three years, new gold buildings, pawnshops, ready-to-wear shops, and rouge fragrance shops opened one by one on the side.
At first, North Street was not a big deal, but gradually, their business was all taken away.
Because, the princesses in the city, the first and second rank officials, they all came from Lin'an.
Their preferences and vision are still the same as in the south, and those who followed them into Beijing to open shops and expand business were originally one of the best in Lin'an City, and they were used to buying them before.
There are nobles to cheer up, and the rich people in the capital are also willing to give it a try, which can be regarded as a way to make friends with nobles.
After a few more years, the street next door became the most prosperous place for business on the north side of the capital, and it really replaced North Street.
In order to survive, many of the old shops on North Street saw the opportunity and drove the shops next door, and some of them were slow to respond, so they stayed.
Since the relocation of the capital, it has been decades, the habits and hobbies of the north and the south have gradually merged, and the nobles no longer take the Jiangnan set as the first in everything, but the silence of the north street cannot be reversed.
But it has also taken a new path.
On both sides of the street, it is no longer a big gold building and a big pawnshop, but a theater troupe, a small teahouse, and a second-hand book shop, which is more down-to-earth than the prosperity on that side.
Wen Yan stood by the window, looking at the street below.
When she came over just now, she even saw a small shop selling spices outside the customs through the curtain.
There are also a few brightly lit ones, Wen Yan asked Huo Yixiao, those are small gambling houses.
This street is full of organs, but it doesn't look like a place where the county lord of Wanyang will come.
The county lord of Wanyang is the county lord after all.
There are also small restaurants on this street that fight cocks and crickets, and if you really want to investigate, I'm afraid you can find seven or eight of them.
The people who come in and out are all ordinary people with spare money, or children of petty officials and officials with very ordinary family backgrounds.
The county lord wants to fight cocks and crickets, and there is no doubt that she will go to the general's workshop.
That's where the nobles gathered.
People who have followed the county lord for a few days also confirmed that Wanyang went a few days ago.
Let's talk about watching dramas.
The theaters and troupes in the capital can also be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
The more famous ones are on the street next door.
In the previous life, Wen Yan went there, and the whole theater was very outstanding, not to mention the stage, private room, lobby, and garden verandah, the troupe once entered the palace to sing operas, and the limelight was flourishing.
Compared with Xiangdefang, it is only better than "long-standing".
It's a time-honored brand, and you can name it, but if you want to say how good this place is and how good the drama is, it's really not likely.
The county lord of Wanyang came here.
Wen Yan looked at it for a while, then turned around and said his thoughts to Huo Yixiao: "It can't be that the county lord has taken a fancy to which corner and wants to take it back and face it, right?" ”
Huo Yixiao: "......"
He had listened to too much Wen Yan's nonsense, otherwise, he would choke on a sip of tea.
The little fox really dared to say anything.
Wen Yan saw Huo Yixiao's expression, and knew that he had a "headache", and teased him again: "It's strange to raise a face?" That's a princess, a county lord, raising a few faces, isn't it a common thing? ”
Huo Yixiao: "......"
Throughout the ages, there have been many noble ladies who have names and surnames, which is indeed not a strange thing.
As long as you don't make too much trouble, the palace won't care, and the imperial historians don't bother to say it.
After all, the things you love and I want, and even many things, the horses, the guests of honor and their families turn a blind eye, and the husband and wife play their own games, and no one gets in the way of anyone.
Although the county lord of Wanyang is about the same age as Wen Yan, her mother is the eldest princess of eternal life.
The eldest princess is a well-known noodle head, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, the lord of Wanyang County really saw a play, and it makes sense.
Thinking about it, Huo Yixiao didn't want to discuss the matter of "the county lord raising the face head" with Wen Yan.
His throat rolled, and he directly drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle: "You mean, Cheng'an also has to raise a few?" ”
Now, it was Wen Yan's turn to be stunned.
Huo Yixiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, although he didn't say it, he was still a little proud in his heart.
It is not an easy task to make the little fox deflated.
Wen Yan was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses and said, "The princess wants to raise cats even more." ”
"Ahem......"
The tea that was not choked before, but in the end, it still choked.
Wen Yan bent his eyes and reaped this victory.
The play is singing.
Snuggling and snuggling.
Huo Yixiao has also listened to a lot with Concubine Huo over the years, but he has never heard it interesting.
He has a much more normal work and rest recently, and he is not sleepy at this time, so he can only sit and close his eyes to recuperate.
Wen Yan seemed to have really come to listen to the play, and from time to time he shouted "good".
Ebony was lying on the side, and her tail was beating back and forth.
Huo Yixiao raised his eyelids and observed for a while, and found that Hei Ebon'er's shooting was quite in line with the rhythm of the lyrics.
This is a cat that can listen to plays.
Huo Yixiao chuckled, and secretly thought, since he likes to listen to dramas so much, let the little fox and the little black cat accompany the concubine to listen next time.
After all, he is a layman who is thorough and listens to the excitement, and he can't say whether it's good or bad, Concubine Huo has said several times that he is tired of listening to the drama with him.
After all, if you want to watch a play in the future, the concubine will still call him.
Huo Yixiao understands that Concubine Huo just likes him to accompany him, even if he is an elm pimple who is not open to singing.
Therefore, you still have to accompany you, but if you want to get the hang of it, leave it to Wen Yan.
Ebony can make the concubine happier if she holds another scene.
There is a specialization in the art industry.
Wen Yan heard the end all the time.
Huo Yixiao stood up and moved his muscles and asked her, "How is it?" ”
Wen Yan said: "It's okay, the troupe that has been running for so long has to have some skills, but after listening to it all, I don't think it's worth listening to the lord of Wanyang County all day." ”
Even, she stared at the people on the stage before, and she didn't find any one who could be taken by the county lord and beheaded in person.
