Chapter 62 Chang'an City, which is not good or bad
Under the city of Chang'an, a furry man was looking up at the tall city gate building of Chang'an, so that the fur hat fell from his head without even knowing it.
"Brother, you're so tallβ"
Naha hopes that her brother can hold her waist so that she can see the whole picture of Anyuan Gate in Chang'an.
"You'll be able to see it from a distance."
"If you are far away, you will not be able to smell the fragrance."
Yun Chu smelled the smell and looked over, only to find that there was a man standing there who was smiling obscenely at their brother and sister.
"Gourd chicken! Gourd chicken, fifteen wen! β
At this time, although the Anyuan Gate was more than three meters taller than the Anyuan Gate built in the Ming Dynasty, it was still nothing in Yun Chu's eyes.
I think he used to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds from the tallest building in Shanghai.
With such a comparison, Anyuanmen, which is only more than 20 meters high, is indeed very small and short.
However, the taste of gourd chicken is a bit overbearing, not only Naha is greedy, Yun Chu is also a little greedy.
After seeing this guy's gourd chicken in a big jar, Yun Chu was still a little disappointed, as far as he knew, the gourd chicken was a delicacy after boiling in water, steaming, and finally frying in oil.
The gourd chicken that this guy brought didn't go through the frying process at all, but Yun Chu could also understand that at this time, fat was more precious to the Tang people than a mere chicken.
Yun Chu bought four in one go, one for him, one for Naha, one for Cui's, and a fat lynx that had been raised by Naha.
Cui Shi didn't like the appearance of a little lady like Naha gnawing on the gourd chicken while walking, but seeing the happy smiles on the faces of Yun Chu and Naha, he decided to mess around with their brother and sister.
Ma Rong and those people took away ten camels and some money, these people are very professional, and after sending Yun Chu and the three of them to Chang'an, they immediately took their own camels and set out on the road home.
Yun Chu didn't want to take seven stinky camels into Chang'an City, so he sold seven camels in the livestock market outside Chang'an City, bought a good carriage, and let Cui's sit with Naha.
Yun Chu had come to see a carriage dragged by two horses, and after asking people, he realized that a petty official like himself from the eighth rank could only buy a carriage dragged by a horse, and if his official was half a grade younger, he would not even be qualified to ride the carriage.
Fortunately, the carriage was relatively wide and could load everything, including the only two thousand taels of gold that Yun Chu had.
The carriage is not very impressive, but the jujube red horse is obviously standing out from the crowd among the teams preparing to enter the city.
And the appearance of the two Yun Chu brothers and sisters is very incompatible with this horse.
The people of Chang'an are not good at all, they all seem rude and unreasonable, some come over to ask if the jujube red horse is for sale, some come to ask if the fat lynx is for sale, and some people come to ask Naha, the little orchid, if she needs to be done.
Only Yun Chu was uncared for.
This made Yun Chu a little worried about the quality of the residents in the city of Chang'an.
Yun Chu quickly finished eating a gourd chicken, mainly because Naha ate faster, not only eating his own, but also tearing away Yun Chu's two chicken legs.
I really don't know how such a young child can fit so many things into his belly in one go.
Walking into Chang'an City, Yun Chu was disappointed to find that there was a difference between this place and the Tang Paradise.
The ragged people, the tattered city, the tattered streets, the tattered high walls, and the tattered Hu people.
Chang'an in early winter is like a layer of dust, and everywhere is gray, like a person's face has not been washed.
Yun Chu firmly believed that the old monkey must be very disappointed at this time, because Chang'an City was too different from the appearance of his dream.
It can be seen that this old monkey was deceived by Master Xuanzang so miserably.
Naha and Yun Chu felt different, she had never seen so many people, such tall walls, such wide and neat streets, and she had never seen so many people dressed in gorgeous clothes.
At the moment of stepping into Chang'an City, the pride of Yunchu Datang officials disappeared in an instant, and they no longer enjoyed all the conveniences that belonged to officials, and even when they entered the city just now, they were lined up behind a group of servants.
This feeling is not unfamiliar to Yun Chu, because he has experienced this feeling in Beijing before, so he accepted it very calmly.
Cui Niangzi seems to be very, very familiar with Chang'an, when Yun Chu told her to set up her home in Jinchangfang, the eleventh square of East Third Street, Guo Zhuquemen Street, outside Chang'an, she didn't need to talk about the horseman she had just hired, she arrived at Jinchangfang with the carriage and Yun Chu's brothers and sisters.
Jinchangfang, as He Yizheng said, is not a prosperous market, and it can even be said that this is a somewhat desolate place.
The gatekeeper read the documents in Yun Chu's hand, took Yun Chu to the chief, and told the chief that from now on, this house will belong to the doctor surnamed Yun, and at the same time warn the chief that from now on, if there is a murder in this house, the lawsuit will have nothing to do with the He family.
Between the Yun family and the He family, there is only the relationship between buying and selling houses, and there is no other connection at all.
The disciples of the He family never looked at people squarely, and they didn't even look at the rewards that Yun Chu prepared for him, and left with their nostrils facing the sky.
The head of the workshop seemed to be surprised by this kind of scene, recorded Yun Chu's farewell, passed the office, and agreed with Yun Chu to go to Hucao in Wannian County tomorrow morning to make up the household registration and the house title deed.
Seeing that the head of the workshop always didn't say anything about leaving, Yun Chu took out twenty coins and put them in the hands of the head of the workshop, and then reluctantly shed tears and said goodbye.
After the door left, Yun Chu found that this guy had even taken away the door lock, and walked into the courtyard, and the first thing he saw was not the house here, but the mountain gate of the tall and majestic Great Ci'en Temple behind the house.
It's not that Yunchu has the ability to predict the future, but that the tall and majestic mountain gate has a line of words written in gold characters on a blue background - the Great Ci'en Temple was built, and there is the seal of Emperor Taizong at the bottom.
Seeing these things, Yun Chu's face trembled slightly, he never thought that his home and the Great Ci'en Temple were in the same Chang'anfang City, and his home was the closest family to the Great Ci'en Temple, so to speak, if Yun Chu opened a back door at home, then, across a road, he could directly step on the steps of the mountain gate of the Great Ci'en Temple.
There is "Hongliang caisson, Danqing Yunqi, Qiong foundation copper, Jinhuan Huapu, and Jiashuli" as the background of the Great Ci'en Temple, even if Yunchu's home is done well, it can't attract half of the attention of others.
No wonder Doctor He would be so generous to give this mansion to Yun Chu, no one in this world wants to be a neighbor with the royal family.
If, on a sunny morning, the emperor felt that some dilapidated buildings at the entrance of the Great Ci'en Temple were unsightly, and gave an order, the next day, the people in Yunchu's family could only hold the quilt and watch their home being demolished.
As for compensation, Yun Chu believed that there would be no such thing now, after all, all the land under heaven belonged to the emperor.
It's just that Yun Chu seems to have seen the shadow of the old monkey from this incident again.
Naha and Cui's are very happy, especially Cui's, and even have some high-spirited feelings.
The courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, come in from the gate and bypass the shadow wall, the first entry is only two rows of partial houses, the middle is a large piece of blue brick paved ground, facing the shadow wall is a wide foyer, the back of the foyer is connected to the second courtyard, there are many buildings in this courtyard, among which the main house is built the most grandiose, there are cornices on the roof, the dripping eaves extend forward for almost two meters, supported by six thick pillars that have been painted with red paint, it looks very magnificent.
This is supposed to be the place where the head of the house will meet guests, but unfortunately, now there is nothing inside, not even a futon, but there are two swallow nests, one under the east eaves and the other under the west eaves, judging from the whitish swallow droppings on the ground, there are still swallows living here when it is warm this year.
Entering the back house along the narrow corridors on both sides, the area here is much larger, not to mention two wells, and there is a garden that covers an area of about one acre, and now it is winter, and the garden is dilapidated, and even the bamboo on both sides of the yard does not look as energetic as before.
In other words, the house that Yun Chu got was an empty shell.
Just when Yun Chu and Naha felt disappointed, Cui Shi wrapped a cloth on his head and said to Yun Chu: "From today on, the slave maid, the chief steward of the inner house, will take office. β
Yun Chu said regretfully: "There are only three of us in the family, plus a lynx, a war horse, and a horse, you can do as much as you want." β
Cui Shi smiled: "Lang Jun and the little lady have just arrived in Chang'an, they should take a good look at this city and familiarize themselves with the people here, as long as Lang Jun leaves two hundred yuan for the concubine, a month later, the Yun Mansion will appear in Chang'an City." β
Yun Chu said: "You seem to be very familiar with this place. β
Cui Shi pointed to the glorious Great Mercy and Grace Temple behind him and said: "There was originally a temple here, called Wuxian Temple, it is a coincidence that the former home of the concubine is on the left side of the Wuxian Temple, and now, the concubine's home has become a part of the Great Ci'en Temple, can the concubine not be familiar with it?" β
Speaking of this, Cui Shi wiped a handful of tears and said: "I only hope that Lang Jun can find a good woman from a good family as soon as possible to fill the inner house, and wait for the birth of the child, so that our family will be neat and tidy, and nothing will be missing." β
Yun Chu patted Cui's hand and said, "I've really worked hard for you." β
Cui Shi shook his head and said: "It's not hard, the concubine likes the dilapidated appearance of the Yun Mansion at this time, and the concubine will renovate it brick by brick."
When the house is renovated, the hatred of the concubine will disappear. β
Yun Chu nodded and said: "Well, you said a lot, in the future, the house in the west will belong to you, if you wish, you can put your grandmother's spiritual position there, I believe that as long as a person has endless incense, even if he dies, it is not a big deal." β
Cui Shi raised his head suddenly, looked at Yun Chu in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it okay?" The concubine remembered that in Datang, there was no room for two masters in a family. β
Yun Chu laughed and said, "The Yun clan regards me as an ancestor! β
After that, he took out two bags of copper coins from the carriage and left them to Cui, and he took Naha, the lynx, the big fat, and the jujube red horse in the carriage to a delicate guest house that he saw on the way.
