Chapter 4 Entering the City

Xuanxiang rolled her eyes when she heard this, and looked at them with the lunch box in her arms: "Two donors, what ......about these meals?"

"Xuanxiang has eaten it!" Qiao Ran touched Xuanxiang's head and said.

Seven or eight-year-old children are growing up when they are growing up, and there is a set meal every day in the view, and the children are inevitably greedy, and a lot of the candied fruit they brought from the village has entered Xuanxiang's stomach these days.

Xiao Daotong happily put the lunch box on the ground on the side, said "I'm going to report to the Lord" and ran away.

I don't know if they were thinking about those meals, they didn't wait long before they saw Xiao Daotong running back happily.

"The Lord said that the two donors can go by themselves, it will rain later today, don't forget to bring an umbrella!" Xiao Daotong said and pointed in the direction of the front door of the Taoist temple, "There is Abo's car parked there, let Abel take you into the city!" ”

Qiao Ran nodded and thanked: "Thank you for arranging it, but I haven't had time to see the master since I came here!" ”

"The Lord has been upset these days!" Xiao Daotong picked up the lunch box and sat down in the corner on the side, grabbed the bun and said vaguely while nibbling, "Then Master Dong has been in the watch for half a month!" ”

"Master Dong?" Qiao Ran repeated, and the tail note rose slightly, as if it was mentioned casually, and it seemed to be a question.

Xiao Daotong instinctively replied: "It's the coffin shop in the city, Master Dong, half a month ago he bought a peace charm in the temple, but on the way down the mountain, the mountain road slipped and fell into the jungle on the side, Master Dong came to the door and said that the peace charm of Xuanzhen Temple not only does not keep safe, but also causes trouble, the master of the temple saw that he just broke his leg, and he was afraid that he would shout at the gate of the temple and took him in, and promised to cure his broken leg for him...... I know that our master is the best at straightening bones, but Master Dong's leg doesn't know what's wrong, it has been treated for half a month, and it has not improved at all, and it has worsened, so Master Dong and his wife threatened that if the master can't be cured, they will have to pick a lot of people in the first month and a half of the next time......"

Qiao Ran quickly outlined what happened from Xuanxiang's mouth: It is normal to sell some peace charms or something in the Taoist temple, as for whether it is useful or not, at least there is peace of mind, this old man Dong had an accident on the road, and he didn't look for a car or a horseman, but he relied on Xuanzhen Temple. At first, the master thought it was just a leg disease, and she was the best at orthopedia, so she didn't bother to entangle with him and took over the matter, but the matter was not done well, and Master Dong's illness worsened, and things became more troublesome.

This is obviously a desire to calm things down, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Qiao Ran was a little embarrassed, but she also understood that the owner of this kind of thing was estimated to have no intention of seeing her, and if there was anything she wanted to ask, she couldn't ask for a while.

She could only put aside the matter of seeing the Lord for the time being, she asked Hongdou to give the remaining candied fruit to Xuanxiang, and then took the fence and umbrella and went out.

There is a carriage parked in front of the gate, and the carriage is also engraved with the sign of Xuanzhen Temple, which is thought to be used by the Taoist aunt in the temple.

The coachman seemed to have been waiting for a while, and when he saw the two of them, he urged: "Miss Qiao, hurry up, the real people in the noon view still need to use the car." ”

Xuanzhen Guan only has this carriage, whether it is going in and out or transporting some things every day, it is used in this car, which is inevitably a little popular.

Qiao Ran didn't care, she was already living here, and the coachman had no malice, compared to the attitude of the Fang family people towards her in her memory, these people from Xuanzhen Guan treated her well.

Calling "Miss", she won't really think of herself as a young lady's master, after all, such a life experience is something that even her family doesn't want to recognize.

I got into the carriage with the red beans, and the coachman flicked the whip, and the carriage ran leisurely.

Although Xuanzhen Temple is located in the suburbs of Jinling, it is connected to the official road around the foot of the mountain, and as soon as you go to the official road, you can see the city wall piled with bluestone when you raise your eyes. Qiao Ran looked out of the car window and saw that the city gate was crowded, but the speed of inspection and release was very fast, which showed that the people's livelihood is stable now, and there is no major event in Suri.

After entering the city, you can see people wearing all kinds of silk and satin, skirts, straight robes, and Hu costumes everywhere. From time to time, teenagers and girls rode by, and most of them had smiles on their faces. It can be seen that the people of this era are prosperous and happy, and Qiao Ran is sure that this Dachu is an era that is not inferior to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Knowing that they were out to shop, the coachman suggested that they go to the Qinhuai River for a walk: "It's always a woman, don't go to a place that is too remote, the Qinhuai River is there to play and see, and there are many people, and there are many carriages and horses, Miss Qiao only needs to go to the carriage and horse shop to call a carriage if she wants to come back." ”

Qiao Ran nodded in agreement.

Approaching the Qinhuai River, there seems to be a little more aroma of fat powder in the air.

The coachman parked the carriage on the side of the road, put the two men down, and left.

Qiao Ran stood on the street called "Vermilion Bird" by the Qinhuai River, and looked around, a beautiful woman dressed in flowers and branches leaned against the window and held a Luo fan and looked at the street with style.

A sense of wealth and extravagance came to the face.

At the end of this Suzaku Street is the Qinhuai River in this time and space.

Although she still adheres to the girl's consciousness, Hongdou, who rarely goes out, still can't help but glance around, and her little face tries to restrain the "excitement" that looks very obvious.

Walking into this Suzaku Street with a sense of freshness, Qiao Ran found that this street was very interesting. After walking past a few brothels near the street, there are restaurants, and after the restaurants, on both sides of the street are rows of calligraphy and painting workshops, which extend to the end of Suzaku Street - the Qinhuai River. The river is full of large and small painting boats, and from time to time the sound of singing can be heard from the river.

Walking along the riverbank, not going far, you can see a mansion built near the Qinhuai River, next to the mansion is the blue brick stone steps that bend around, the end of the blue brick stone steps is the most famous Jiangnan Book Garden on the entire Jiangnan Road, this book garden almost includes the famous families of all the state capitals in the whole Jiangnan River, among which there are many prestigious literati, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the center of Confucianism in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is natural that it can be built according to the Jiangnan Academy, which is not an ordinary family. There was nothing special about the front door of the mansion, probably because the location of the mansion was enough to show that it was special.

On the plaque at the door are two words: Pei Fu.

Jinling Pei is also recognized as the first door in Jinling. Now the dean of Jiangnan Shuyuan is surnamed Pei, and he has the same surname as the left minister of the current dynasty, and both Pei are from the Pei family in Jinling.

The door of the library was wide open, and students walking on the stone steps could be seen everywhere, dressed in white robes, or holding books or staying to talk, and the two completely different temperaments of bookish and fat powder fragrance appeared at the same time less than a hundred steps apart, Qiao Ran felt more and more interesting. This Suzaku Street includes eating, drinking and playing, and there are even the first wealthy families in Jinling, just like a small microcosm of Jinling City.

After walking around, they didn't eat in the morning, and the master and servant were a little hungry, so they wanted to find a place to eat first, but there was a commotion at the door of the restaurant in front of them, and many people had gathered, and they faintly heard exclamations coming from inside.
