Chapter 2 Entering Beijing
Three years later, Qiao Tianhua had just turned sixteen years old and had a high school move.
Spring is coming, Qiao Tianhua pulled Xue Yu and rushed to Beijing in winter.
"Ah Yu, Ah Yu, Mingdemen has arrived!" Qiao Tianhua sat on the ox cart, opened the corner of the cotton curtain, poured a mouthful of snow wind, and the baby's fat face immediately froze red on both sides, but she couldn't hold back her excitement at the moment, and stretched out her little meat finger to point to the triple vermilion city gate.
Growing so big, she came to Chang'an for the first time, how not to be excited!
However, Xue Yu's expression was indifferent and he replied with a promise.
"Finch slave, finch slave!" The young man's hearty laughter, through the crowd, jumped up and down, and then trotted to Qiao Tianhua, also looking elated.
Xue Yu stood behind Qiao Tianhua and raised his eyes to see that this was the little bamboo horse Xu Shangxuan.
"What a slave! Xu Shangxuan, did I call you a stone slave! It's all a cheap name when I was a child, it's good to give birth to and raise, and my aunt Aya has changed her words. Qiao Tianhua said angrily.
"Mrs. Qiao, Xiaosheng is so polite." Xu Shangyu said.
Qiao Tianhua couldn't help but smile when she saw Xu Shangxuan's pretending to be serious, and couldn't help but pat Xu Shangxuan's shoulder.
"Tianhua, you can't be a lady in front of me." Xu Shangyu was a little aggrieved.
"I was meant to be a little lady." Qiao Tianhua walked ahead, and took out a newly bought vermilion handle silk painted peony fan from the burden on his back, covering half of his face, and looked back and smiled like a flower.
In such a fight, Xue Yu seemed to see the two of them imitating the love of the rangers fighting the sword rivers and lakes when they were children.
At lunchtime, Xu Shangyu invited Qiao Tianhua and Xue Yu to Xichun Tower for dinner.
"Shang Yu, when I get a jinshi in high school, I will definitely hold a banquet in Xichun Tower." Qiao Tianhua nibbled on flax cakes with his left hand and chewed mutton skewers with his right hand.
"Tianhua, what is Xichun Tower, go back and take you to the outer building to see, just a golden jade fish, bright eyes." Xu Shangyu smiled.
After lunch, Xu Shangyu took Qiao Tianhua and Xue Yu to find an inn to settle down.
Xu Shangyu wanted to lead the two little ladies back to Xu's house, but Xu's mother explained that Qiao Tianhua was going to marry in the future, and he would never be able to live in the foreign man's house.
Hey, it's really troublesome to grow up, and there is a difference between men and women at every turn.
"Shang Yu, tell me an interesting story about Chang'an." Qiao Tianhua blinked his fawn eyes, and attached to Xu Shangxuan's ear without suspicion, lowering the crisp tone.
Xu Shangyu made a big red face: "Tianhua, you will still be a lady in the future!" ”
After Qiao Tianhua heard this, he was about to lose his temper, but he was frightened by the oncoming horse. Xue Yu was still quick-eyed, grabbed Qiao Tianhua's arm, immediately lay down, rolled a few times, but accidentally bumped into the cake oven that sold the ancient building. There was a charcoal that didn't have long eyes, bubbling with a tongue of fire, and it crossed Xue Yu, and it actually rubbed Qiao Tianhua's cheeks, burning Qiao Tianhua to let out a soft cry.
"Tianhua, are you alright?" Xu Shangxuan shouted in surprise, dragging him to see the doctor.
However, Qiao Tianhua shook off Xu Shangyu and blocked the horse and the master.
The whole body of the horse is snow-white, without half a miscellaneous hair, and it should be a precious breed. Qiao Tianhua was a little scared, but he was unwilling to suffer a dumb loss like this.
"Your lord, your steed has frightened the people. I lost my appearance because of this, and I don't know if I will have a scar. Qiao Tianhua played a fan, covering her injured face, crying with pear blossoms and rain, she was a weak and bullying little lady.
"Oh, is it okay for this king to marry?" The owner of the steed smiled.
After hearing this, Qiao Tianhua felt deeply humiliated, gritted his teeth, looked up at the owner of the horse, and then fell into a daze. Forgive her for her dirty buns, I have never seen such a bewitching beauty.
A long black and thick hair was tied up by a gilt and silver crown of Shuanglong playing fire beads, a snow-blue treasure pattern engraved silk sleeve robe with a Pisces honeysuckle pattern, a pair of slender fox eyes slightly hooked, but the eyes were as clear as water, coupled with thin red lips and white greasy complexion, indescribable enchantment, inexhaustible purity, amazed how many ignorant and fearless ladies Lang Jun.
"Why can't you ......," Qiao Tianhua retorted confusedly.
After hearing this, the owner of the horse touched his chin, sneered, took off the white jade open-carved elk figure picture sachet on his waist, threw himself into Qiao Tianhua's arms accurately, and walked away.
Qiao Tianhua held the jade carving sachet and wanted to smash it, but was dragged by Xu Shanghua to a nearby medical center to see the injury.
The old doctor gave Qiao Tianhua a bottle of snow cream and charged three taels of silver.
Three taels of silver is equal to 3,000 copper coins, and you can buy 600 freshly baked ancient buildings in Chang'an. Qiao Tianhua took out the only three taels of silver left, and his heart was dripping blood.
Hey, she can't stay in the inn, so she has to go to her second uncle.
However, because his sister was sold all the silver taels to his second uncle, Qiao Tianhua did not want to see his second uncle.
Thinking of this, Qiao Tianhua thought of the owner of the horse, and couldn't swallow this mouthful.
Xu Shangxuan looked at Qiao Tianhua's small appearance, and his heart was not good, so he hurriedly stopped Qiao Tianhua, who had just applied snow skin cream, and said with a smile: "Tianhua, don't be angry, didn't the noble person pay you a jade carving sachet, and take it to the pawnshop to sell it, which can be exchanged for a lot of silver." ”
"Shang Yu, he didn't apologize, he didn't count." Qiao Tianhua was full of anger and didn't dare to speak loudly, lest he pull the wound on his cheek. She could only hook her fingers, and the fawn blinked playfully, and continued: "Shi Nu, what kind of horse is the noble man riding, as white as the snowflakes of Chang'an. ”
Xu Shangyu liked to listen to Qiao Tianhua call him by his cheap name, and blurted out: "This is the jade lion of the night, the best among the horses, only one horse was paid tribute in the Western Regions this year, and His Majesty gave it to the King of Beihai." ”
"It turns out that the man who lacks education is the King of the North Sea." Qiao Tianhua muttered.
As soon as the words fell, Xu Shangyu jumped up and hurriedly covered Qiao Tianhua's mouth.
Helian Zheng, the king of Beihai, was the eldest son of Empress Xianxiaochun, and Emperor Yan Zhao and his successors were extremely favored and handed over the edict to him. Therefore, if you develop such a lawless character, if someone secretly speaks ill of him, you will be unlucky in the future.
On the contrary, Qiao Tianhua was also pampered by Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, and he couldn't stand being wronged.
"Shang Yu, rest assured. I just arrived in Chang'an, and I didn't have the ability to force him to apologize. Qiao Tianhua smiled, his eyes flowed, and his voice was delicate.
After hearing this, Xu Shangxuan became more and more uneasy, thinking about how to change the topic.
He has not forgotten that when he was a child, he went up the mountain with her to catch hares. He ran too fast, and was wounded by the trap of the beast, and bared his teeth in pain. Qiao Tianhua was not convinced, and after helping him home, he stayed up for a few hours, and found the hare that lured him into the trap from among the hares in the mountains. What Qiao Tianhua said at the time, she remembered that the hare's left hind foot was missing a handful of fur, which was pitiful, so she changed her right hind foot to be caught and injured by the beast.
Ahem, it sounds, while the heart is warm, the soles of the feet are cold and sweaty.
"Tianhua, looking for Jinhua girl." Xue Yu found another topic for Xu Shangxuan.
