Chapter 33: The Prosperity of Kyoto City

Xi Hongdou found the right person this time, and the time of departure was also anxious, and he brought some silver tickets and land deeds to keep at a critical time, plus a few changes of clothes, which was all the luggage.

The family watched Xi Hongdou calmly prepare his luggage, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, Xi Hongdou's life was indeed a little bitter.

Sister-in-law Xi was a little sorry, obviously marrying Han Yushu could solve the problem, but Xi Hongdou refused to mention it, and Han Yushu never came, I am afraid that I also know that Xi Hongdou refuses.

"Don't be like this, everyone, I went to Kyoto City to play, not to suffer!" Xi Hongdou smiled, everyone in the family was worried about her, so the atmosphere was really not good.

Xi's second sister-in-law persuaded: "Come back if you have nothing to do, you are outside, and your father and mother are also worried." ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, her purpose of going to Kyoto City was actually simple, to see Xiao Zhi, and the result was nothing more than two. Xiao Zhi was either beheaded or acquitted, and everyone was happy.

On the day of departure, Xi Hongdou got up early, wearing the small clothes that Xi Lin used to wear, and she wanted to pretend to be a boy.

Aunt Xi took Xi Hongdou's hand and was reluctant to let go, and Sister-in-law Xi took a bag of dry food for Xi Hongdou to eat on the road.

Xi's second sister-in-law said: "Red beans, you must be careful everywhere when you go out, the world is sinister, you are a girl, anyone can step on it!" "Although Yanyun's folk customs are quite simple, there are still bad people, women have to bear a lot of things, they are in a weak position, they are not comfortable being careful everywhere, if they are not careful, they will never recover.

"I know, don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Xi Hongdou said.

The family sent Xi Hongdou out of the village, watched this Xi Hongdou get into the carriage of the caravan, and finally watched Xi Hongdou's figure disappear.

"This kid seems to like that Xiao Zhi too." Aunt Xi sighed, if Xi Hongdou is not allowed to go, Xi Hongdou will also have to think of various ways to go, and the female eldest will not stay.

Father Xi said: "She has an idea, and she won't be able to keep it sooner or later." After that, he took a large family back to the village first.

Here, Xi Hongdou followed the convoy out of the city, and she was still a little apprehensive, after she came to this world, she really hadn't been anywhere. I had also heard of the prosperity of Kyoto City before, but for her, Yunzhou City was already prosperous enough, how prosperous can Kyoto City be?

It would take three days to arrive by carriage, but the caravan did not go directly to Kyoto City, and it also had to stop to unload some goods along the way, so according to Yao San, it would be possible to arrive at Kyoto City after five days.

On the first day, Xi Hongdou also took a look at the scenery along the way, she sat with the goods, the wind and the sun, but the mood was not bad. On the second and third days, the novelty was gone, and the further north you went, the cooler the weather became, but after all, it was summer, and it wasn't cool. Until the fourth day, Xi Hongdou's whole body was about to fall apart, dangling in the car every day, unable to digest anything in his stomach, and vomiting dimly.

Yao San saw Xi Hongdou lying on the carriage spitting, so he smiled and said, "I have long said that this rush is not for fun, you have to come!" ”

Xi Hongdou poured saliva and rinsed his mouth, and then leaned on weakly, and said: "Isn't this an important matter, how good is it to lie down at home?" ”

Yao San didn't ask much, and said, "Hold on, you can go to Kyoto City at noon tomorrow." "Yunzhou City is not far from Kyoto City.

Xi Hongdou thought that as soon as she arrived in Kyoto City, she would have to find an inn or something to settle down, the Xiao family was convicted of rebellion, and she couldn't just ask about it, and then she would have to stay in Kyoto City for a while longer.

After five days, Xi Hongdou's eyes lit up when he saw the three big characters in Kyoto City, and Xia Yaosan said at this time: "After that, you have to rely on yourself, I will go to the cargo station in the east of the city to unload the goods, and then if you have anything, go to Datong Trading House to find me, even if I am not there, there are brothers who can take care of it!" If you want to inquire about any news, go to Yunlai Teahouse, where there are three sects and nine streams, everyone in the south and north of the sea, and the most well-informed. ”

"Third Brother Yao, thank you!" Xi Hongdou said that he was going to take the money, but Yao San refused and said: "The money is not needed, if I collect your money, how can I collect grain in Xijia Village in the future?" "It's a favor.

Xi Hongdou smiled, she really didn't have too much money when she went out, and then thanked Yao San and separated.

When Xi Hongdou entered Kyoto City, the guards at the gate of the city directly stopped people and said, "Official status!" ”

When she went out, Aunt Xi deliberately went to the government to get an official registration for her to take with her, this thing is necessary when she goes out, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, this thing is the same as an ID card, without Yan Yun's identity certificate, most of them will be controlled as a spy.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly took it out, and the guards looked at the official register, and wrote his appearance and characteristics on it. She was originally worried that her gender would not match her current outfit and she would be in trouble, but after the guards matched her appearance, she also saw that Xi Hongdou was dressed as a woman and a man, and she was given an official status and let go.

Stepping into the gate of Kyoto City, Xi Hongdou understood why some people would say that Kyoto City was prosperous.

Compared with the prosperity of Yunzhou City, the prosperity of Kyoto City is better, and because the building is simple and elegant, it seems to have a sense of historical awe, and it is indeed thicker than Yunzhou City.

remembered that Yao San said that Yunlai Teahouse, Xi Hongdou hurriedly went to Yunlai Teahouse after asking someone for directions on the street.

As soon as she entered the teahouse, it was really crowded, but she saw that these people were not all here to drink tea, and there were many people who had no place to sit in twos and threes, and they found a place to stand and get together, and they didn't know what to say.

The shopkeeper at the counter was busy settling accounts, and the shopkeeper came over and said, "Objectively, do you want to drink tea, but also live in the store?" ”

"You're not a teahouse? Can you still stay at the hotel? Xi Hongdou asked.

The shopkeeper said: "I can live, but our inn is old, and the room is not as good as those big inns, but the price is half cheaper, and the living is all coolie!" ”

Xi Hongdou looked at it and said, "How much is a day?" ”

"Thirty a day." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "There is hot water, but it doesn't matter if you eat!" ”

Xi Hongdou's meat hurts, thirty wen is indeed not cheap, looking at the teahouse is also old, the room is definitely not much better, but she also wants to save some money now, and in the end she can only provoke the pain of cutting the meat.

"I'll stay for a day." Xi Hongdou said.

"Well, come up with me objectively!" As soon as the shopkeeper shook off the sweat cloth, he led Xi Hongdou upstairs.

In the corridor upstairs, you can ask for a musty smell, and you can hear the sound of commotion, which shows that this place is also chaotic.

"There are all the people who live in the inn, and they are basically mud-legged coolies, and the guest officer must close the doors and windows at night, and keep his own things, if he loses something, the store is not responsible!" The shopkeeper chattered endlessly.

Xi Hongdou arrived at the room, and as soon as he entered, although the room was small, it was bright, and thirty wen was worth it.

"If the guest officer thinks it's okay, he should pay the money for the hotel first, and pay it once a day, and he can't default on credit." The shopkeeper smiled.

Xi Hongdou also understood, and took the money and handed it to Xiao Er, but he didn't rush to let Xiao Er go, but closed the door.

The shopkeeper was a little flustered, so he asked, "Guest officer, what ......are you doing about this?" What door is closed in the blue sky and white day?

Xi Hongdou leaned over and said, "Little brother, I want to ask you about something, is there a family surnamed Xiao in this Kyoto City?" ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that he was going to inquire about something, he smiled: "Isn't there more people surnamed Xiao?" Which one is the guest officer asking?"

"It's the Xiao family who was involved in the rebellion case!" Xi Hongdou said.

The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly whispered, "Don't dare to talk nonsense!" But after speaking, he still said: "I really know that there is a family surnamed Xiao, that is, ......" After speaking, he twisted his fingers.

Can Xi Hongdou still not understand? This inquiry was not in vain, so he took the money and gave it to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper whispered: "There are many people involved in the rebellion case in the court, but there is only one family surnamed Xiao, that is, Xiao Li, the servant of the household department of the court, I heard that the person is in Zhaojiao now, and the family is squatting!" ”

"Then does his family have a son named Xiao Zhi?" Xi Hongdou asked, afraid of recognizing the wrong person.

"Yes! That Xiao Zhi turned out to be the best of the ancestors of Kyoto Castle II, who doesn't know the famous one? After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he asked, "Do you know the Xiao family?" ”

Xi Hongdou looked at the shopkeeper, then took the money and shook it in front of the shopkeeper, and threw it to the shopkeeper.

After taking the money, the shopkeeper left happily, and naturally he wouldn't talk any more.

Xi Hongdou sighed, it seems that Yao San's news is indeed preparing, and Xiao Zhi is indeed in prison.

After days of travel, Xi Hongdou slept well, and early the next morning found a suitable location downstairs, wanting to hear if there was any rebellion in what everyone said.

The people who came said everything, Xi Hongdou listened to it all morning, and his ears and brains were very tired, but he finally heard a sentence about rebellion.

"This King Xiang is also reckless, leading troops to fight and being the emperor is not estimated to be the same thing, so many soldiers and horses, but they were drowned by those civil officials in the hall one by one, stunned with spittle stars, and finally forced to rebel, not to mention, and also involved many courtiers in prison together, tsk, it's really hanging!" Tea Kejia said.

Tea guest B said at this time: "But if there is a rebellion, then there is a good end, the emperor will definitely be punished heavily, I heard that there are still wronged people in prison, let me see, there must be those who take advantage of the fire to rob, see who is not pleasing to the eye and say that there is collusion with King Xiang, and they will definitely be able to die!" ”

Hearing this, Xi Hongdou also slowly approached, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there really anyone who has been wronged?" ”

A person appeared coldly, and the tea drinker was also startled, and the tea guest A hurriedly said: "Oh, don't talk about state affairs!" "But I forgot who was the first to provoke the head!
