Lou Yun slept for a whole day and waited until the next morning to wake up. Lou Yun got up and took up his burden and went downstairs, and the innkeeper saw that Lou Yun was awake, so he said: "Yo~! ”

Lou Yun's stomach was growling, and the shopkeeper said, "Guest officer, are you hungry, why don't you eat here first and then go on the road?"

Lou Yun was indeed hungry, so he nodded in agreement. The shopkeeper pointed to the menu on the wall and said, "Then the guest officer, you can order." ”

Lou Yun looked at the dazzling array of dishes and said, "Shopkeeper, look at the arrangement, I'll eat casually and leave." The shopkeeper smiled and went to the kitchen to order the cooking.

Lou Yun took out the map and looked at it, and asked the innkeeper: "How far is the shopkeeper from Chang'an City?" The shopkeeper looked at Lou Yun's appearance and said: "There is still more than half a day away from Chang'an. ”

Lou Yun said: "Yes, I don't know what the shopkeeper has to say?"

The shopkeeper replied politely: "What did you say, guest officer, I am just opening an inn for people's convenience, so what can I learn." However, the small one should remind you that I heard that the trial of the introductory disciple of Tianjimen is on the third day of the first month of March, and there is still more than half a month from now, and now it is estimated that the inns in Chang'an City are full, if you have no relatives and friends in Chang'an, I advise you to stay with me for a few more days, and you are going when the day is almost over. That way you'll have at least half of the silver left. And they don't sleep on the streets. ”

Lou Yun said: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's kindness, there are still important things to do in Chang'an, and there are old people in Chang'an City." ”

The shopkeeper said, "That's fine." The shopkeeper glanced at the sundial at the door of the inn and said: "By the way, if you are in a hurry, then you should hurry up and eat, we have a porter here to pull pedestrians to and from Tongguan Chang'an, and in half an hour, the porter here will pull the guests to set off." If you miss it, you'll have to walk on your own. ”

Lou Yun thanked again: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's suggestion." ”

The shopkeeper returned to the back kitchen and instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal for Lou Yun first.

After Lou Yun finished eating, settled the meal and the room money, and went to find the porter according to the shopkeeper's instructions. Just as the porter was about to drive away, Lou Yun just caught up. After Lou Yun paid the money, he got on the board car. The people in the car are all ordinary pedestrians, there are no people from the rivers and lakes, although Lou Yun is carrying a wooden sword on his back, but he looks handsome and does not look like a man from the rivers and lakes, but like a runaway son. So it didn't attract much attention. Along the way, the coachman sang a folk tune and pulled the guests to Chang'an City.

Lou Yun got off the car and came to the front of Chang'an City, the western capital, this ancient city that has been washed by thousands of years still exudes its due solemnity. The tall city walls, the watchtowers on the city walls, the officers and soldiers patrolling and standing guard. Bustling with merchants coming and going.

Lou Yun entered Chang'an City, which is worthy of being the link connecting the Western Regions, full of businessmen, and many white-skinned, high-nosed, blue-eyed, and yellow-haired Hu people, bargaining with the merchants of Chang'an. The money of the Hu merchants was gold and silver coins, and the deputies of the Chang'an merchants took up the scales and determined how many gold and silver coins the Hu merchants needed to pay according to the weight of the currency of our dynasty. There are also many song and dance troupes from the Western Regions, tall, blond bearded women wearing veils and holding daggers to perform in the city, as well as many animals, elephants, and camels that Lou Yun had heard of before but only seen in books. I've seen them all here this time.

After Lou Yun entered the city, he was like a countryman entering the city, looking left and right, everything felt very fresh. Lou Yun bought a piece of Hu cake (naan) in front of a Hu people's stall and ate it. After several inquiries, Lou Yun finally inquired about the location of the Nangong family.

Lou Yun came to the gate of Nangong's house after eating Hu Cake, Lou Yun looked back at the luxurious mansion opposite Nangong's house, and thought: "This must be the Lin family that Mr. said, it is much bigger than I imagined." ”

Lou Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it took a long time for the family to come and open the door.

Jia Ding opened the door, looked at Lou Yun carefully, and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Lou Yun thought for a while and said, "My name is Qiu Yun, I am from Peacock Villa, and I ask to see Nangong Yu's seniors. ”

Jia Ding thought for a while: "Qiuyun, why is this name so familiar? Forget it, since it is familiar, it must be an acquaintance of the master, go and inform the master first." ”

The family said politely to Lou Yun: "Son, wait a minute, the little one will go and report to my master." ”

Nangong Yu and his wife were drinking tea in the hall, and the family came to report: "There is a person named Qiuyun outside the master who wants to see the master." ”

Nangong Yu just wanted to take a sip of tea, and when he heard that Qiuyun had arrived, he put down the teacup in his hand. Nangong Yu ordered: "Okay, I know, you go and call him in." With that, he ran out.

Nangong Yu's wife, Liu, asked, "Master, the owner of the Qiu family has come to the door." He must have come to urge him to get married to Li'er, what should he do?"

Nangong Yu took a sip of tea and said: "What to do, what to do, now the Qiu family is already a toothless tiger, we don't have to be too polite to him, he came just in time, and I will save me a trip to Luoyang, tell him about the withdrawal here, if he agrees, it can be regarded as taking care of the face of his Qiu family." If he mentions the matter of getting married as soon as possible, then use words to gag his mouth. ”

The family ran back to the door and said, "Son, our lord is invited." ”

Lou Yun followed the family into the inner courtyard and came to the lobby.

Lou Yun saw Nangong Yu and his wife sitting on the main seat, so he saluted and said: "Junior Qiuyun has seen it, uncle, aunt." Nangong Yu glanced at Qiu Yun and snorted coldly and said, "The owner of Qiu Zhuang is really a talent." I don't know what the owner of the autumn village is doing when he comes to me. ”

Lou Yun borrowed the baggage, took out the marriage book from the baggage, and said, "I'm here for the marriage contract." Nangong Yu and his wife couldn't help frowning when they saw the marriage letter.

Nangong Yu said: "Oh, the matter of the marriage book, you and Li'er have a marriage contract, then I am also your future father-in-law, you, who are sons-in-law, come empty-handed when you come to see your father-in-law, so no one is rude in your eyes." ”

Lou Yun really didn't think of this, he rarely went out before, and he really didn't understand the etiquette necessary for these interpersonal interactions.

Lou Yun hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Uncle Nangong, this is indeed my negligence as a junior." ”

Nangong Yu said: "What's the use of apologizing now, as a child of the family, I don't even know this basic politeness, and I am qualified to be the son-in-law of my Nangong family." I think you better hurry back to Luoyang and be your son-in-law. ”

Lou Yun was very helpless when he saw that Nangong Yu was not angry, but it was indeed wrong for him to do it. Lou Yun thought to himself: "It's better to hurry up and explain the intention." ”

Lou Yun said: "Uncle Nangong, I'm actually here for the marriage contract, I ......."

Before Lou Yun finished speaking, Nangong Yu interrupted: "Okay, you don't have to say anything, now that the Yuqing couple are dead, the Peacock Villa has been seized by the government, and there is nothing left in the Qiu family, you can be said to have nothing now, what will you take to support her after marrying Li'er, do you want her to live with you in Guo Mansion for the rest of your life, or live with you in Hangzhou, and live under the fence? Or do you let her support you?"
