Chapter 432: Tea Stalls Outside the City
This trip to Anhuamen takes half an hour, and then it takes half an hour to go from Anhuamen to Xiangjiazhuang.
In Chang'an City, horses should not rush forward, and the carriage traveled slowly.
Along the way, Bai Song saw all the things in Chang'an in the car.
There are a lot of trivial things in each family, there are a lot of discussions on the street, people's hearts are stable, but it is also ordinary, but I have seen a lot of notices along the way, saying that some minister has fallen, his life is dying, and he is looking for famous doctors to rescue him, and there are still a lot of rewards, which have provoked many Jianghu Langzhong to unveil the list to see.
Bai Song didn't take things to heart, and before he knew it, the carriage had already left the city and arrived on the equally lively official road.
Today's Xiangjiazhuang Flower Viewing Party invited many celebrities in Beijing, including but not limited to dignitaries in Beijing.
And this Xiangjiazhuang was originally a merchant, operating the largest flower farm in Datang, and there are flower cultivation sites all over the country.
Chang'an is suitable for the growth of chrysanthemums, and the chrysanthemums in Xiangjiazhuang are famous for their prosperity. It attracts many tourists every year.
The main family of Xiangjiazhuang is not surnamed Xiang, and the word Xiang is the meaning of looking at the water by the column, which is said to be the water pavilion in Xiangjiazhuang, and there are many small scenes, which are not only good flowers, but also waterscapes, small bridges and flowing water, flowers, birds, insects and fish, and all kinds of elegant tastes.
But Xiangjiazhuang is a merchant after all, and it is not as big as the dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City, who can invite many court officials, and Zhuangzi's relationship with the dignitaries of Chang'an is limited to giving some flower gifts during the New Year's holidays.
For example, Yu Shinan received some chrysanthemums from Xiangjiazhuang.
Among the big people who feasted on flowers today, it is estimated that Li Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has the largest official position, and it can be seen that Xiangjiazhuang has a better personal relationship with Li Jing.
In addition to Li Jing, there are also officials who are second-class and third-class officials in the six ministries of the three provinces, and among the guests, there are many famous literati in the countdown, and there are also some young ladies from large families and singers and famous singers in Chang'an Hualou to make a scene.
I heard that today's Xiangjiazhuang also invited the poetry girl of Tianxiang Pavilion, just because of one person, it spread in the city, and many people who did not have an invitation also went out of the city, wanting to see if they could see the poetry girl.
The merchants' private flower party also attracted a lot of people.
This morning, literati gathered outside the Anhua Gate, the traffic on the official road was blocked, and the pedestrians were slow.
Such a situation was unexpected, Lu Yao was a little anxious, looked at the sky frequently, and urged the driver from time to time: "Can you go faster?" ”
The coachman was also upset, and replied angrily: "You don't have long eyes? With so many people, how to get around? ”
"You...... Do you dare to scold me? ”
The coachman ignored it no more, flicked his whip and moved a few steps further.
Bai Song counted step by step in the car, reading the place agreed with Shu Wang, and looked at everyone passing by, lest he miss it.
Two miles to the south, walked for two quarters of an hour, there was a tea stall on the fork in the road, one side of the official road, the other side of the mountain.
The mountains are lush with trees, clouds and mist, and the sight is wonderful.
When Bai Song saw the tea stall, he was overjoyed, and he expected that Shu Wang's meaning was to ask himself to wait here.
"Stop!" Bai Song shouted.
"What's the matter?" The coachman asked.
"There are too many people in front, let them go first, let's rest at the tea stall for a while, drink saliva and then leave."
"Stop, what, stop?" Lu Yao hurriedly stopped, "I'm about to go to Xiangjiazhuang!" It would be disrespectful for us to arrive after the Prince! ”
"Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be as positive as you? Come out before dawn and just two of us little-known little people? If you look at the pedestrians on this road, even if the prince comes, can he go to Xiangjiazhuang smoothly? Does this prince have wings and can fly? ”
"You...... You're just a strong word! Why do you stop and do it? If you want to drink water, go to Xiangjiazhuang to drink! and I can't thirst for you. ”
"It's that you can't be thirsty and you can't be thirsty for me, but don't look at the old man who is leading the horse and carriage for us outside, what's wrong with letting people take a break? Do you have any sympathy? ”
Lu Yao was stunned, he didn't expect Bai Song to be so weird, and he didn't react for a while.
These words moved the coachman for a while, and he said repeatedly: "Where is the son?" The old man didn't have that precious life. ”
"Rest! Listen to the break, listen to me here! Bai Song waved his hand, directly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and went to the tea stall.
Lu Yao had no choice but to get out of the car and rest.
The tea stall is also full, the stall owner is afraid that he has not seen such a scene for a long time, the spare old tables and chairs on the stall are already full, Bai Song glanced at these tea customers outside the crowd, but did not see Shu Wang.
Bai Song was careful, thinking about whether Shu Wanghui had already come and left some information for the tea stall owner alive, so he went to ask the boss if he had seen any special girls and what words he left behind while alive.
The result made Bai Song a little disappointed, and Shu Wang didn't seem to have come yet.
Bai Song asked for a few bowls of tea, and took them to the white bee and the coachman, but not to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao didn't care about this person's tricks, he didn't drink if he didn't drink, he stood aside with a fan, and shouted to Bai Song: "Hurry up, drink tea and leave." ”
Bai Song ignored it, looked at the vacant seat in front of him, and quickly sat down, with the posture that Lao Tzu wanted to wait until he was old.
Coincidentally, as soon as Bai Song sat down, a carriage stopped behind the pedestrians on the official road.
A beautiful girl in a goose yellow gauze skirt got down from the carriage, dressed very exquisitely, with heavy makeup and bright makeup, with a fragrant powder, and a glance at the appearance of Miss Peugeot.
A little maid got out of the car first and helped the young lady to get out of the car.
I saw that the young lady's hands and feet were awkward, and the simple action of getting off the car seemed very difficult.
When Bai Song saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh, it was the first time he saw the eldest lady who couldn't even walk steadily.
Thinking about it, I took another sip of tea, but I didn't swallow the tea, and I spit out and vomited all over the ground.
Bai Song didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people around him, quickly wiped his mouth, and then looked at the girl who was walking awkwardly.
"Isn't this Shu Wang!"
Bai Song was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Shu Wang was like this.
Shu Wangke in Bai Song's memory is all dressed in a capable outfit, without the slightest extra decoration, never wearing a skirt, and not having the slightest bit of rouge and gouache.
When I saw it today, Shu Wang was dressed as a lady, but he didn't recognize it at first sight.
Looking at it again, it was clear to me that it must have been to participate in the flower viewing party, and Li Jing was forced to pretend to be the eldest lady, so I had to dress like this.
Seeing that after she got out of the car, she staggered to the tea stall and found a place to sit down, her embroidered eyebrows frowned, and she beat her legs vigorously, Bai Song snickered in her heart, but she got up and walked straight over with the tea bowl.
"This girl, Xiaosheng invites you to drink a bowl of tea." Bai Song stepped forward and put a bowl of new tea in front of Shu Wang.
Shu Wang raised his head and didn't speak, but the little maid on the side didn't have long eyes and called.
"Where did the disciples come from? Who told you to come near my young lady? Who knows you? Go away, go away, and then look randomly, believe it or not, gouging out your eyeballs. ”
Bai Song looked at Shu Wang, but Shu Wang smiled and said nothing.
"Your personal maid?"
Shu Wang nodded.
"Marriage?"
Shu Wang nodded again.
Bai Song rubbed his hands: "What a sharp-toothed little girl, when you marry in Baifu, see how I clean you up!" ”
