Chapter 9 Encounters in a Foreign Country
Within a few days, the Chun family and his party arrived at their destination.
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the only large city in the world with a population of more than one million at that time.
Before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, also known as Daxing, its city was huge in scale and neatly planned, and was divided into Guocheng, Miyagi and Imperial City. In Guocheng, there are all official offices, royal residences, temples and Taoist temples, as well as residential markets, a commercial market in the east and west, and three water canals have been dug, and the palace city and the imperial city are located in the middle of the north of Guocheng. The whole Chang'an is bounded by the Zhuque Street with a width of more than 150 meters, and is divided into two counties, Daxing County and Chang'an County.
Guocheng has 11 north-south streets, 14 east-west streets, of which the six main streets that pass through the south three gates and the east and west six gates are the main roads of Chang'an City, except for the southernmost east and west streets that pass through Yanping Gate and Yanxing Gate, calculated by modern weights and measures, the width is only about 50 meters, and the remaining five are 100 meters wide.
What is the concept of 100 meters wide? In modern times, a lane is about 2.5 to 3.5 meters wide, which translates to at least 40 taels of ordinary cars running parallel to each street. That's just... … How spectacular.
In my previous life, I heard that after Marco Polo arrived in Chang'an, he was so surprised by the majesty and prosperity of Chang'an that he couldn't even close his mouth. When she arrived in Luoyang, she already felt prosperous and marveled at the advanced prosperity of ancient China, but when she saw Chang'an, she couldn't describe her feelings, the international metropolis should be like this, no wonder the Tang Dynasty is the top of the world, no wonder there have been predecessors and celebrities who have said: Hate not to be born as a Han and Tang Dynasty.
Standing in such a capital city of the Tang Dynasty, a sense of national pride arises spontaneously.
They entered the city from Yanxing Gate, and then went to the vicinity of the two cities of Liren and Metropolis under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, and lived in the official post. This official post is very large, and the more luxurious building in the east is to receive foreign guests, with pavilions and pavilions, and eaves and paintings. The relatively ordinary, but very clean, building on the west side was inhabited by small officials and officials who traveled to and from the capital on business. The Chun family is placed in a relatively independent courtyard between the two, which seems to be valued and not too publicized. The reason why there is this treatment is because Chun Tu Yu is the master of the Holy Lord's personal order, and Han Wuxing secretly cares for him. However, although the news that someone pretended to be the emperor has spread all over Chang'an, the news that Chun Tu Yu gave the liar as a teacher has not yet been revealed, so her appearance did not attract onlookers, and even the officials of the official post thought that Chun Qingyang was the main master, and communicated with the old man Chun about everything, which saved Chun Tu a lot of things.
Han Wuxing was busy and didn't show up, but he sent his most trusted subordinates to see if the Chun family and his party needed anything or were inconvenient. This person is quite familiar with Da Meng and a knife, so Chun Tu can still let it go.
After the settlement that night, everyone went to bed early to relieve the fatigue of the journey. Early the next morning, someone sent an invitation post, inviting Chun Qingyang and Chun Tuyi's ancestors and grandchildren to get together in Zuixianglou, which was regarded as a collection of dust for the ancestors and grandchildren of the Chun family. Please post the signature is: Kang Zhengyuan.
I haven't seen a well-off adult for a few days, and Chun Tu is a little happy with the invitation. Please paste a few numbers, although simple, but full of care. Thinking about his status again, if he came to visit her and his grandfather at the official post, it would attract the speculation of people with a heart, but it would make the Chun family suspicious, and he felt that Lord Xiaokang was really still careful and considerate as before, never making people feel uncomfortable, and would not cause trouble to people.
So at noon that day, Chun Tu Yu dressed up properly and followed her grandfather to the appointment.
Datang's clothing, food, housing, transportation and culture are very rich and colorful, reflecting the style of a great country that embraces all rivers and rivers. Taking clothing as an example, there are Hufu with the characteristics of this dynasty, including Central Asia, Persia, and Tianzhu, as well as the Wei, Jin, and Han dynasties, which are all very popular.
Chun Tu Yu itself is fond of Hufu men's clothing, because it is closer to modern clothing, with narrow sleeves and pants, which looks neat and capable. But her grandfather and father didn't like her to pretend to be a man, so when she was at home, she obediently wore contemporary women's clothes. When she goes out, she changes to a skirt that is close to Hanfu, because the curved deep skirt itself is not cumbersome, and it restricts people's walking posture, so as not to expose some of the "bad" habits that she has developed in modern times.
Today, she wore a lilac-colored curly skirted large-sleeved Hanfu with duck-yellow piping and a palm-wide belt, which set off her delicate and elegant appearance and temperament. The hair pretended to be burned from the last time, and after cutting it short, it didn't grow back in just two months, so I had to tie a ponytail at the back of my head, slightly behind my left ear, and cover it with a crimson peony-shaped silk flower and a dragonfly water-like golden hairpin, disguised as a pendant and a short bun. There are two small jade beads hanging on the snow-white ears, and the rest are no longer decorated, refreshing and elegant but not shabby. On the feet, there are snow-blue low-top shoes.

In the whole Tang Dynasty, Chang'an is the fashion capital. Although Luoyang is good, it is also a cut behind after all, so she doesn't want to be glamorous, she only strives not to be eye-catching, but she can't be cowardly. Now this body is just right. On the other hand, Chun Qingyang, wearing a dark blue straight embellishment she chose, her hair and beard are neatly combed, and she is born with a loyal and kind appearance, which has a bit of a literati atmosphere. Unexpectedly, he used to be a jailer and a cell boss.
This time when she went out, she originally ordered a child and a knife to accompany her, after all, Chang'an is a good security, and there is no need to bring two bodyguards in broad daylight, but in the end, she is not familiar with life, and she has followed up with the restaurant to wait, and Yidao has been in Chang'an for a long time, and the two are matched together, which is the best combination. But just out of the gate of the official post, I wanted to call the door official on duty to help call a car, but found that Kang Zhengyuan sent a carriage to pick it up. There is no family emblem marked on the carriage, in addition to being wide, it is not conspicuous, but the interior is comfortable and luxurious, and the coachman is still the personal guard who followed Kang Zhengyuan to the north. At that moment, she sent her son and Yidao back, and Xiaofeng, who was able to write and martial arts, followed and got into the carriage.
The two cities of Liren and Metropolis in Chang'an City are specially designed to provide services for dignitaries and nobles. Immediately after getting out of the car, a guy stepped forward and led the three members of the Chun family to the private room on the second floor from a special mewage.
"A salute to Lord Kang." Seeing Kang Zhengyuan, Chun Tu grabbed the first salute.
If you meet each other with private courtesy, Chun Qingyang is an elder. Ke Kang Zhengyuan has royal blood, and he also lives in Dali Temple, and he is an official on the public, but the ancestors and grandchildren of the Chun family are just people. Therefore, it is better to take the lead in the spring, and it is okay to say it in both public and private, and the two sides can greet each other again. And this ceremony, the spring is happy and willing, because it is also a great joy in life when he meets his hometown.
"Tu Yu, why don't you just call me Brother Kang?" Kang Zhengyuan smiled, which means: Today is only about personal relationships. And when he said this, Chun Qingyang, who was a little nervous, also relaxed a lot.
"I haven't settled accounts with Brother Kang yet." Before he sat down, Chun Tu said slightly, narrowing the psychological distance between the two sides.
"Don't be unreasonable." Chun Qingyang glared at his granddaughter, and he was not stern at all.
"It's okay, Uncle Chun, and listen to what Xiao Tu has to say." Kang Zhengyuan smiled, revealing a mouth full of shiny white teeth, turned his head slightly and asked Chun Tu again, "Tell me, what did I do?" If it really doesn't make sense, I should take care of it. He called Chun Qingyang his uncle, obviously saying that he had a relationship with Chun Dashan and was Chun Tu's uncle. But just now he asked Chun Tu to call him eldest brother, and this generation is all messed up.
"Yingli." Chun Tu Yu only said these two words, and he didn't react to Pingbai's shorter life.
Kang Zhengyuan knew that she was talking about this, but he still showed a look of annoyance and said, "This is really mine." It's just that the Ying family is too hateful, I just said that we are capable of it, and whoever wants Ying to leave an old guy will be annoying. However, it is really my mouth-to-mouth. I don't think so······ You have to stay in Chang'an for a while, I'm afraid that there will be no urgency in the near future, so I will be the host, and please visit for a few days. It's not far away, only in Chang'an City. Let me tell you, there are many sights and things to do in the city. ”
"Master Kang, don't listen to this girl." Chun Qingyang said politely, "She just wants to go out to play, because she is detained by me, she just finds an excuse." ”
Kang Zhengyuan smiled, "At the moment of major events, if you don't change your behavior, Tu Li's concentration is good." Uncle don't worry, Chang'an City is going to take a walk anyway, I have nothing to do recently, and I also take this opportunity to relax. ”
He said so, Chun Qingyang is not easy to refuse, otherwise it would be like being wary of others. And listening to Kang Zhengyuan's tone, he knew that Chun Tu Yu was ordered to defend him. He is the emperor's nephew, maybe he can ask for some inside information, as well as the emperor's temperament and temperament. It's good in this way, I have the bottom in my heart, I don't panic, I don't have to be stubborn, and even the emperor dares to offend.
So, Chun Qingyang said a few more words of thanks and nodded in agreement. Then, Chun Tu Yu made an appointment with Kang Zhengyuan at a time and place. And the dishes of the drunken township building came up one after another, and they were delicious, but they were also extremely expensive, and a small cold stumbling stumbling stumbled tooth cost two taels of silver. In terms of cost performance, it is not as good as Fanyang and not as good as Linshui Building.
However, although Kang Zhengyuan is not a talkative person, but he talks less, he is especially good at mobilizing the atmosphere and leading others to talk, so after a meal, the guests and hosts are happy. Later, Kang Zhengyuan and Chun Qingyang chatted about prison affairs, and they were even more happy.
At this time, although it is late autumn, if the sun is sufficient in the afternoon, it is still very warm, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Chun Tuyi's body is a little hot. It just so happened that she was sitting near the window, and saw that the two men, an old man and a young man, were chatting happily, and no one paid attention to her, so she opened a window crack, while blowing the wind, and by the way, she looked out and enjoyed the street scene of Chang'an.
