Chapter 47: Luoyang

The feast was not over until the end of the day.

Lu Dayou and Ling Huchong were full of food and drink.

The housekeeper called a small escort and led the two of them all the way to the courtyard prepared in advance.

All luggage has been parked.

Lu Dayou's monkeys were also arranged to the house early, and they also prepared fruits to avoid starvation.

The Wang family is really well prepared!

Lu Dayou recognized the door by himself, and walked towards Linghu Chong.

When he arrived in Linghu Chong's room, Lu Dayou still wanted to chat with his senior brother.

Ling Hu Chong was already lying unconscious on the bed, and even snored.

Okay, being a little junior brother is born to worry about his life, but fortunately, the first level in Luoyang passed without danger.

……

It was still early, and Lu Dayou rested for a while.

At the third moment of Shen Chu, he changed into clean clothes.

From the silver taels given by the Wang family, he took out ten taels and went out with the monkey.

He thought about taking a walk around Luoyang City today.

First, let's learn about some customs and see what the real market was like in ancient times.

Also, there are a few things to know.

For example, recent trends in the rivers and lakes and the location of common stores in case of emergency.

Of course, the most important thing is to find out where Green Bamboo Lane is.

This eldest lady of the Sun Moon God Sect did not wait for the dignified Black Wood Cliff, and led the green bamboo Weng to live in seclusion in the green bamboo lane of Luoyang.

Perhaps, he can get the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill here.

The Wang family is on the southwest side of the inner city of Luoyang, close to Anguo Temple and Henan Fuzhi.

This courtyard alone is already a three-hall courtyard.

On the west side is a wing room, and on the east side there is a garden that runs through, which seems to be quite wealthy.

Lu Dayou stopped in the garden for a moment and met Wang Zhongqiang.

Lu Dayou has a good impression of Wang Zhongqiang, compared to his eldest brother, Wang Zhongqiang is more like an ordinary rich man.

Not only are people more wealthy, but they are also very particular about dealing with people.

The big and small affairs of the Wang family seem to be in charge of them single-handedly.

And the only two grandchildren of the Wang family, Wang Jiajun and Wang Jiaju, are his sons.

Looking at this situation, Lu Dayou guessed that the business outside the Wang family's rivers and lakes should be taken over by this second master.

Wang Zhongqiang had just finished sending off a group of guests, so he asked Lu Dayou where he was going.

Lu Da is known as Uncle Shi, and he said that he wants to go out for a walk and learn about the customs of Luoyang.

Wang Zhongqiang saw that the sun was getting west, and hurriedly took out a sign, and said to Lu Dayou:

"Nephew Lu Xian, on the first day of Luoyang, you can go to the City God Temple, there are more stalls there, and there are more food and juggling."

"But there is one point, the land of the king of Luoyang is not as good as the place, and it is a night ban after the end of the day, and the county governor has sent people to patrol, and if he is caught, he will be punished."

"However, the Wang family also has some thin noodles here."

"If Lu Xian's nephew forgets the time, he is bumped into by the patrol."

"Instead of looking at this hand, it is clear that it is a guest of my royal family, or it can be released."

"But don't linger too long outside at night."

"In recent months, the streets have also been a little uneven."

Hearing this, Lu Dayou hurriedly thanked him, respectfully took the card in his hand, and inserted it on his belt.

Seeing this, Wang Zhongqiang didn't say much, just nodded and walked towards the courtyard.

……

Not long after separating from Lu Dayou, Wang Zhongqiang bypassed the two corridors, and then passed through a certain lobby to a side hall.

The location of this side hall is in the southwest corner of the annex, and it is not big, so it is quiet.

Usually not many people come.

Sometimes, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang Bofen and Mr. Wang Zhongqiang gather here to discuss matters.

As soon as Wang Zhongqiang stepped into the hall, he heard a voice calling him: "Zhongqiang, everything has been arranged." ”

But it was his father Wang Yuanba, who was sitting in the hall at the moment, and his right hand was still turning the two golden galls.

It's just that I changed my clothes and looked more plain.

And beside him, it was the eldest son Wang Bofen.

At this moment, people have come to their senses, but they are still a little sluggish.

Before Wang Zhongqiang could reply, he heard Wang Bofen say:

"Father, today's affairs are bad in the hands of the disciple named Lu Dayou."

"Humph! If you can't drink enough, you can't blame others. ”

"But father, today, I think that kid may have played a trick!"

"Even if it's a trick, it's someone else's job."

"I heard Pingzhi say how good his sixth senior brother is, but I only thought he was a teenager and exaggerated a lot."

"I didn't expect that I really have some skills."

"As for that Linghu Chong, let's think about it in the long run."

Hearing what Old Man Wang said, the two brothers Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang hurriedly responded.

The hall was quiet again......

……

After hearing Wang Zhongqiang mention the City God Temple, Lu Dayou thought it was a good idea.

So, he first asked the little maid about the location of the City God Temple.

Then he took the monkey and walked out of the courtyard through the side door.

Walk west through the entire alley, and then go north to two torii gates, and you can hear the noise in the distance.

Two more steps, you can see the eaves of the City God Temple, and the main street is in front of you.

At the beginning of Shen Zheng, the sun had just passed its hottest hour, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the main street.

Leaning against the corner of the temple of the City God, vendors and jugglers each occupy a place to sell their goods and skills.

Lu Dayou bought a little sugar cake and ate two pieces by himself, but he was not tired.

He gave the monkey another piece, and the monkey ate it in three strokes and five by two.

Lu Da saw that he liked this sugar cake, so he bought a few more pieces.

Wrapped it in a bag, it was put back into the placket along with the money bag.

The costumes of the people who came and went were different, but most of them were strong, and they generally wore short clothes.

There is also a pair of leather ties on the feet, but more is enough to wear a pair of straw sandals casually.

But don't underestimate this pair of straw sandals.

If you don't know how to make it, you will buy it at the stall and you will have to pay ten gold and copper coins.

It's worth half a duck or a pound of good pork.

Except for the porter's power stick, they are ordinary city residents.

Like a Confucian official, he generally wears a square scarf and a variegated cloth shirt.

If you want to see the armor of plain cotton, it must be some ranger.

But if it is made of silk and satin, and the hem is decorated with silk tassels, it must be a rich man's brother's trip.

On the street, there are also a lot of ladies from ordinary families, most of whom wear skirts and jackets.

But Lu Dayou is not good at staring at others all the time, and it is not good to be regarded as a prodigal son.

As for the rest, they are just begging beggars.

Either bare-chested, or a few rags in a knot and used as clothes.

Many carried a broken straw mat or felt on their backs, some held a short bamboo root, and some held a broken bowl.

There are both men and women, and there are many children.

Squatting or kneeling on the side of the street, begging for food from passers-by.

Lu Dayou was looking around, looking for a place to inquire about the news.

It's best to be in a mixed place, and maybe there will be a catch.

Just when he saw a restaurant not far away, he suddenly felt a gentle bump on his waist...
