Chapter 269: Wandering around
The next day, Tong Shuangxi followed Tong Shuangshuang to Tianfu Academy.
"I'll come out for you at noon."
Looking at his sister standing outside the gate of the academy, Tong Shuangshuang reluctantly admonished again.
Her sister said that she wanted to take a look around here, and Tong Shuangshuang felt a little uneasy.
After watching Tong Shuangshuang enter the academy, Tong Shuangxi walked to Tianfu Mountain behind the academy.
Tianfu Mountain is the only mountain that stands in the capital, it is said that when the founding monarch built the city, the national teacher deliberately chose this mountain, saying that this mountain is the vein of the town, and it can always maintain the prosperity of the country.
Later, with the passage of time, this mountain named Tianfu was gradually neglected, as for the reason Tong Shuangxi is not very clear, only know which monarch's taboo was committed, and later because of the fame of Tianfu Academy, Tianfu Mountain gradually gained some popularity, but it was not as good as before.
When he heard this, Tong Shuangxi actually only believed three points in his heart.
The capital is prosperous, those who have the ability to live in the north of the city, who is not a prestigious family, like Tianfu Mountain, a barren place in the mountains, occasionally look at it is a bit wild, if people really live here every day, it must not be.
Besides, who doesn't want to live a good life when they come to the capital, if they still live at the foot of the mountain, then they might as well go back to their hometown!
Therefore, it is inevitable that Tianfu Mountain will be snubbed by people, and it is not something that the so-called human power can control.
Tong Shuangxi walked around the foot of the mountain for more than an hour and then turned back to Tianfu Academy.
"Boss, bring me a cup of tea!"
In the end, the weather began to get hotter, Tong Shuangxi walked for less than two hours, and his body was sweating, seeing that the academy had not yet gotten out of school, Tong Shuangxi found a tea shed and asked for a pot of tea, and waited for Tong Shuangshuang to get out of school at noon while drinking tea.
Most of the students of Tianfu Academy live near the academy, so there are many students who have to go home for dinner at noon, and naturally there are also people like Tong Shuangshuang who live in the west of the city, because they are far away, they buy some food in the academy casually.
Therefore, there are more than a dozen stalls of all sizes around Tianfu Academy, some selling food, some selling books, and some selling pen and ink......
This is the same as the snack street at the back door of Tong Shuangxi's previous life.
"Boss, you live nearby, right?"
Tong Shuangxi saw that there was only one guest in this tea shed, so he took the initiative to talk to the proprietress.
"Yes! Live at the foot of Tianfu Mountain! As she spoke, the proprietress of the tea shed enthusiastically pointed to the east of the mountain to Tong Shuangxi.
"Are there a lot of people living over there?"
Just now, Tong Shuangxi only walked for a short distance and did not go to the east of Tianfu Mountain, so he asked curiously.
The proprietress of the tea shed glanced at this delicate-looking little girl, and then smiled: "You just came here from out of town!" ”
"How do you know?"
Tong Shuangxi asked curiously.
"Otherwise, you can't ask me this question, who doesn't know that there are many people like us who come from other places to do business at the foot of Tianfu Mountain!" The proprietress wiped the table while smiling and said to Tong Shuangxi.
Tong Shuangxi was interested.
"It's not long since I've been here, and it's the first time I've heard of this!" Tong Shuangxi said, thinking in his heart that he must go over to see it later.
"Did you build your own house or rent it?"
Tong Shuangxi continued to ask.
Seeing that the little girl was interested in this matter, the proprietress of the tea shed patiently said to her: "What can't be built, the people who can afford to build a house have already gone to rent a house on the street, so it is convenient to do business, like us, we can only build a shed at the foot of the mountain at will, and then go to the city to rent a house!" ”
After saying this, the proprietress couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know when I will be able to earn enough money!" ”
Listening to the words of the proprietress of the tea shed, Tong Shuangxi also understood in his heart.
Although Tianfu Mountain is located in the north of the city, it is the farthest away from the market, and ordinary people are reluctant to build their houses around this mountain.
At this moment, there was a noise in the academy, presumably because the students had left school.
The proprietress of the tea shed hurriedly greeted the front of the academy and drank her own tea.
Some of the students who had been reading all morning had already felt thirsty, and they all went into the tea shed.
Tong Shuangshuang saw his sister sitting in the tea shed at a glance, after all, all the people sitting in the tea shed were men, and only his sister was a girl.
"Thirsty, drink up!" Seeing his younger brother, Tong Shuangxi hurriedly beckoned him over.
Tong Shuangshuang dried up the tea in front of him in one go, and then pointed to a food stall opposite: "That braised vegetable rice is delicious and cheap, I'll take my sister to taste it later!" ”
Tong Shuangxi nodded, and after Tong Shuangshuang drank another cup of tea, the sister and brother went towards the food stall that Tong Shuangshuang had just pointed to.
The owner of the stall is a mother and daughter, the mother is in her forties, and the girl is sixteen or seventeen years old.
At this time, the front of the stall was already crowded with students buying food, Tong Shuangshuang asked his sister to wait, and then he also squeezed towards the stall.
Seeing that every food stall was crowded with students, Tong Shuangxi thought that there were really not a few students in Tianfu Academy.
There are also students who left in a carriage and in a sedan chair, and I think these are those who are exquisite.
Tong Shuangshuang, who came back from buying food, saw his sister looking at the carriage and sedan chair, and couldn't help but explain to his sister: "Not all rich and noble children are like this, you see, that is the sixth son of the household servant family, that is the eldest son of the Shaoqing family of Dali Temple, and that is the second son of the prefect's family, and they are also buying food outside like me!" ”
Listening to Tong Shuangshuang's words, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but nodded, students should have worked hard to work their muscles and bones, if they can't even bear this idea, then why don't they go home and enjoy the happiness directly, what kind of books to read!
"It smells so good!"
Looking at the lunch box that his younger brother was carrying, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but say happily.
When this lunch box was in Liuli Village, Tong Shuangxi specially asked people to fire it for Tong Shuangshuang, which was made of imitation of the insulated barrel in the previous life, but there was no thermal insulation material in ancient times, and the fired insulated bucket could only be filled with vegetables and rice, but in the end it was much more convenient and hygienic than carrying dishes and chopsticks.
The two siblings found a stone table and sat down.
When the academy was first built, it may have been thought of eating, so many stone tables and stone benches were set up outside the door of Tianfu Academy.
"Yesterday someone asked me where I bought this lunch box!"
Seeing that there were several dishes on the stone table, Tong Shuangshuang said to his sister with some pride.
