Chapter 2 Difficult to live in the imperial city

readx;

After Yuankong rejected Zhang Biaoshan, he took one by one hands and walked on Leyang Avenue, looking at Leyang here and there, Leyang is not the imperial city of the Six Dynasties, and there are people coming and going on Leyang Avenue, and there are many shops on both sides. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are all kinds of grocery shops, the sharp light and cold mang, the arsenal of the forest, a smell of medicine is the medicine shop, there are silk and silk brocade cloths, skillful workshops with green, yellow, blue and black clothes, small stalls selling snacks, selling tea, sour plum fruits, rouge gouache, flower fans, small bracelets, jewelry gadgets, dizzying.

The man in a hurry in a coarse cloth straight dress, the little daughter-in-law wearing a water-colored lotus leaf skirt, the big girl combing the crescent moon and the three or seven lines, the white placket, and the red silk on the black straight robe are most likely the housekeepers of the rich and noble eunuchs.

There was also a group of patrols from the Sifang Guard Division wearing Broken Empty Chain Mail and a long knife at their waists.

Five-year-old children like Yuankong and Yiyi are really the only pair walking on the street, at this time Yuankong pulled one by one and stopped in front of a grimace mask, Yuankong reached out and took the nearest one to stay on his face, turned around to scare Yiyi, and found that she was touching the comb and looking at it.

"Hey, I said you two kids don't buy it for a long time, don't break my things again. The boss shouted loudly, listening to the voice, he couldn't say that it was still the people who had taken root in Leyang City in the previous dynasty, after all, when the pilgrimage started at the end of the Wei Dynasty and the Quartet was established ten years ago, and the country was renamed Han, there was a little bit of the arrogance of the people of the imperial city. However, in recent years, it has come out that the emperor's dragon body is getting worse and worse, and the news that several founding generals are in violation of the yang and yin, I don't know whether it is true or not.

One by one, he was frightened by this sound, put the white jade-like comb on the small wooden platform, the little hand suddenly retracted behind his back, and the other hand pinched his brother's big hand.

Yuankong has not been afraid of anything since he was a child, and he has not been restrained by the children of a small mountain village entering the imperial city, looking at his sister's nervous little appearance, he raised his head and replied with a cold face, "You put things in this way for people to see and touch, otherwise you don't let go of the house and hide it, why do you put it out." ”

After saying that, Yuankong pulled Yiyi's hand and walked away without looking back, so that he didn't see Yiyi turn around and make a grimace at the stall owner, of course, Yiyi's little sister made a grimace that was much cuter than the grimace mask that Yuankong put back, and the mask was somewhat similar to the boss's current face.

As he walked, Yuankong found an urgent question, where to stay at night. I touched the small amount of silver and copper in the money bag, which was one of the few silver taels left after arranging my grandmother's funeral before leaving. Thinking of the kind and kind grandmother who hugged Yuankong and told them stories one by one at night, Xiao Yuankong was a little sad.

Yuankong didn't know who his parents were with Yiyi, and his grandmother was not their real grandmother, this question Yuankong asked when he was four years old.

Grandma only knew that he and his sister were entrusted to her by one person, and left a sum of money before leaving, and left without saying anything. However, grandma judged from the person's clothes and conversation that this person was either rich or expensive.

Of course, this clue is actually not a clue, there are too many rich and noble people, Yuankong just thinks that there should be many rich people in the imperial city closest to that quiet town, thinking that there is still some money that cannot be spent in the town, so he resolutely pulled his sister to the imperial city. What to do after coming, the five-year-old Yuankong can be said to have a blank brain.

Yuankong pulled his sister to walk faster and faster on Leyang Avenue, and he was not in the mood to look at the bustling shops around, the kind of inn that passed by to see a lot of money, and the idle room was not something that Yuankong could live in, at least not now.

When Yuankong was a child, he listened to his grandmother's stories and remembered some useful words, knowing that even the imperial city had poor people, and his grandmother often said, "Even the sun in the sky will still be blocked from shining in a corner where it can't shine." Yuan Kong knew that corner might be where he and his sister would live in the Imperial City in the future.

It's nothing, I just feel bitter about my sister, she's still so young (automatically ignoring that I'm actually the same age as my sister is a dragon and phoenix), thinking of these Yuankong touched the back of Yiyi's head, and Yiyi was tilting his head and biting his index finger to look at the food stall that was getting farther and farther away. Didn't react much to his brother's movements. Obviously, her brother's frequent actions did not make the food stall a little less attractive to her.

Walking through one street after another, bypassing the Huanghua Bridge, with the changes in buildings and people, Yuankong felt that he should be about to find it.

I don't know how far I spared, anyway, Yiyi has gone from the excitement at the beginning to the current drooping eyelids, and is being dragged away by his brother, if Yuan Kong lets go, he may sit on the ground. Even so, they didn't complain one by one, and in some personalities, the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses are still the same.

A long and narrow path, on both sides of which are houses that seem to be blown down by the wind, Jianwenfang, and the Huangcheng Street just walked are like two worlds.

There are two old people sitting on the dirt steps in front of the nearest door, and when they get closer, they find that the two old men are playing chess, what kind of chess Yuankong does not know, such an object Yuankong is still the first time in five years, but I think it conforms to the word in my impression, so I think this is chess.

The old man who was facing Yuankong, with a clear face, was wearing a pure black shirt similar to the shopkeeper of the inn in Yuankong, with a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, and his whole body was clean from the hair to the upper, and it was not contaminated with the mud here. His eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he didn't move his eyes even when Yuankong and Yiyi arrived, probably fighting to the point of tension.

However, the old man in gray cloth with his back to the Yuankong brothers and sisters heard the footsteps, slowly turned his face, and saw that it was two little dolls with a slightly serious face, smiled and said, "Where no one has cared for so many years, someone actually came today, not only people, but also two children, not only two children but also a pair of twins, strange, strange, interesting." After saying that, he touched his chin and laughed again, this time laughing out loud.

Listening to what the old man in gray said interestingly, the old man in black finally raised his head, glanced at the two dolls, frowned, didn't speak, pinched one in his hand, and slowly pushed forward, "Will!"

Yuankong now knows that this is chess, the old man in gray glanced at the chessboard, smiled, and saw the old man laughing one by one, and felt that the old man laughed this time There was an indescribable cunning in the old man's laughter. Sure enough, "Old man Zhao, old man Zhao, you have fallen in love with me again." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and ate the general on the chessboard of the old man in black.

"It's too confusing to calculate everything, and the older you get, the more downhill it becomes. After saying this, Old Man Zhao began to clean up the chessboard, and the old man did this kind of thing very seriously and rigorously.

The gray-clothed old man who didn't know Yuankong's surname stood up, apparently intending to talk to the two dolls.
