Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Night Feast
"How did the Redfish Girl determine which person had a fetus in her womb?" asked Elder Li
"I heard him have two heartbeats, I wasn't sure at first, but after listening carefully a few times, I confirmed that there were two heartbeats, and there seemed to be a happy pulse in his right hand," Hongyu said
"I also feel the joy of the pulse, but I really don't think about it," Li Lao said
"I'm not sure, but at the time I thought that if it was a fetus, it would be almost full-term, and if I was not born, I would die in it, so I had to take a risk."
"Courageous, admired"
"It wasn't until I reached in and touched a little foot that my heart landed," Redfish palpitated
"Where is the fetus?" asked Li Lao
"Between the diaphragm, ancient books also record that women are pregnant here," Red Fish Road
Xu Ziwang said: "But he's a man, a woman, I can understand"
Boss Li laughed and said: "The son of the world doesn't know something, this person should be a woman, you see that he doesn't have a single hair on his face, but somehow he gave birth to a male body, so it is possible to conceive a fetus"
"Oh, I see" I'm so lonely
Everyone drank a few more rounds, and Xu Ziwang asked casually, "Where is the redfish girl going this time?"
"Let's go to Chang'an and take my younger brother to make a name for himself," Hongyu said
"Oh, Brother Ling is still this year's Gongsheng, disrespectful, disrespectful, I thought he was an apprentice with you" Xu Zi looked at Wu Xiao and said, Wu Xiao returned the salute and did not speak
"He's also studied with me for a few years, and it's okay to help me get started, but he's not very interested in this," Hongyu looked at Wu Xiaodao
"Coincidentally, after I went to Lingnan, I will also rush to Chang'an, it is estimated that it will be two or three months later, and it is estimated that you will still be in Chang'an City at that time, I don't know if you can come to visit us, and we will not make this friend" Xu Ziwang looked at Hongyu and said
"Xu Gongzi is so out-of-the-box, we are very honored," Hongyu said with a smile
"That's it, after you go to Chang'an to settle down, you will send someone to take a trip, the branch of the Angelica Medicine Store on Qingmen Street, and report their address to the long cabinet to know, we can get in touch."
"Qingmen Street, okay, I've written it down, Xu Gongzi rest assured" Hongyu thought for a while
"It's a word, Redfish girl, don't forget about this"
"Well, okay, it's rare that Xu Gongzi is so attentive, we don't dare to be ashamed."
A meal was eaten until the middle of the moon, Hongyu ate some wine, his face was flushed, it was very good-looking, but Wu Xiao was quite sober, he helped her out of the gate of Haifu Building, refused Xu Ziwang's suggestion to ask someone to lift him off, and the two got on the horse and walked slowly to the residence.
Not long after leaving, Hongyu said: "No, Xiaoxiao, I guess I drank a little too much, my head is so dizzy, I'm going to plant it."
Wu Xiao hurriedly got off the horse and hugged her down, the two sat on the side of the street for a while, and when the red fish was a little better, Wu Xiao picked her up on his horse, and the two rode together, Wu Xiao hugged him and walked forward slowly.
Hongyu twisted his body and found a comfortable posture in Wu Xiao's arms, "I used to hold you, but now that you have grown up, you can hold me"
"I've been holding you" Wu Xiaoqing looked ahead and replied softly.
"Xiaoxiao is so good, come, kiss one" The red fish kissed him on the face and shrank back
"What do you think of Xu Ziwang?" asked Hongyu
"He is good, his family is big, his family is big, his demeanor is good, and he is reasonable," Wu Xiao said fortunately
Hongyu raised his head and looked at Wu Xiao and said, "Oh, how did I hear a little ghost speak with a sour taste?"
"What's the matter, I'm very pertinent in my evaluation" Wu Xiao
"Qubble, I can't guess your thoughts," Redfish laughed
"Why did you say Xu Ziwang invited you to dinner," Wu Xiao asked rhetorically
"Well, I can't see this, I've seen a lot more people than him," Redfish sighed
"What are you going to do," Wu Xiao said
"A boy like him, maybe he will throw me away when he sees another good one, maybe we don't have to bother," Redfish said
The two of them arrived at the door of the inn as they spoke, it was midnight at this time, the two of them simply freshened up, and then went back to their rooms, when the red fish pushed the door open, Yan Nu got up from the bed, and saw that it was the red fish and slowly fell asleep again.
After more than a month, the four of them stayed overnight, Wu Xiao bought another horse for Yan Nu to ride in a horse market, Yan Nu was very panicked at first, but slowly she was able to ride very smoothly, which greatly increased the speed of travel. If they encounter a big town or a lively market, they will also take a day off to see the bustle, or go to the famous mountains and rivers along the way, and take a walk around the ancient temple of Taoism.
Yan Nu has basically adapted to the life of the crowd, her personality is becoming more and more introverted and deep, and she can occasionally say a few words, obviously she is not mute, which is very surprising.
On the way, Hongyu boiled a few medicines for Yan Nu to recuperate, plus the food was better than her before, and there were also rules, Yan Nu's whole person was raised, her complexion was also much more natural, her body was also warmer, and her hair grew a lot.
Wu Xiao followed her path, and made him a bow and arrow, a hand/crossbow, and two short knives, her own flying blade and hidden weapon kung fu is as good as the old camel's true inheritance, and her fists and feet are not bad, Wu Xiao trained him with long-range weapons and short blades when he has time, these are very suitable for her route.
Yan Nu's intuition and resilience are surprisingly good, after a period of time, she has made rapid progress, and she is no longer Wuxia Ameng, everything Wu Xiao says, she implements it to the letter, never refutes, and does not ask the reason, as if she was born like this, she sometimes helps Hongyu do something, and talks to Hongyu for a while.
Zhaohu has always done the most work, of course, this is nothing to him, he eats the most, when Wu Xiao was pointing at Yan Nu, he still wielded his two copper hammers, and he realized some skills, Wu Xiao also pointed out from time to time.
Hongyu had a very easy time during this time, she was like a princess, she didn't need to worry about anything, just watched the two stuffy gourds and a Ma Daha busy before and after.
Chang'an, is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wu had abandoned it, moved the capital to Luoyang, soon after the death of Emperor Wu, Emperor Tang Ming ascended the throne and moved back to Chang'an.
Anseong is composed of three parts: Kuoseong, Miyagi, and Imperial Fortress. The city is rectangular, there are 3 gates on each side, except for the south main gate Mingde Gate, which is five doorways, the rest are three doorways. Miyagi is located in the north of the central part of the city, the middle is the Taiji Palace, and the main hall is the Taiji Palace. The east is the east palace of the crown prince, and the west is the Yeting Palace where the palace people live.
The Imperial City is connected to the south of the palace city, there are seven east and west streets, five north and south streets, the left temple, the right Sheji, and there are central offices and subsidiaries.
There are 14 north-south streets and 11 east-west streets in the city. The Suzaku Street from the Mingde Gate to the main gate of the Imperial City, the Suzaku Gate, is located on the central axis of the city.
There are all races, countries, forces, and people of all purposes, who regard this as a big treasure trove, and all want to dig up their own gold, although they have experienced several generations of incorruptible kings, and the fortune of the Tang Dynasty is not smooth, but this is still the center of the world.
At noon on this day, at the west gate of Chang'an, the queue to enter the city has been lined up for two miles, from the morning to the present, the queue does not seem to have become shorter, the capital is not peaceful recently, and the soldiers who patrol the city have strengthened the check of the people who come and go.
Wu Xiao and the four finally arrived at Chang'an City at this time, but when they saw this scene, they had to dismount and line up at the back of the line.
In front of them were several wagons carrying forage, all of which were walking in three stops.
"Zhaohu, go to the front and have a look," Wu Xiao said
Zhaohu immediately ran to the gate of the city to investigate, and returned soon after: "The gate is strictly checked, we guys are probably very troublesome."
Wu Xiao looked around and pointed to the forage truck in front, Zhaohu understood, untied all the weapons, and secretly stuffed them into the forage truck in front.
After lining up for a few pillars of incense, the four of them arrived at the city gate, and the groom who drove the hay cart was estimated to have documents, and the guards let them in without much investigation.
When it was Wu Xiao's turn, Wu Xiao took out the post of the state capital, and the guards checked the seal, looked through the luggage of a few horses, and did not embarrass them.
After entering the city, Zhaohu followed behind the forage cart and found an opportunity to retrieve the weapon, Wu Xiao asked the road of the Tiangongfang, and the four of them went straight to the Tiangongfang.
The entrance of the salt gang in Chang'an is actually a government-run salt shop, in the middle of the Tiangongfang, the façade is quite wide, let Zhaohu and Yan Nu wait outside, Wu Xiao and Hongyu walked in.
A guy greeted him: "Two, please go to the counter to buy salt"
"We don't buy salt," Wu Xiao said
"Which two?"
"Is your big shopkeeper here?" Wu Xiao asked
"The big shopkeeper is here, but I don't know what the two of you are looking for the big shopkeeper?"
"If you help me report it, I will say that there are people from the mountain," Wu Xiao said
The guy looked Wu Xiao up and down, and said, "Okay, you wait a while", and after speaking, he lifted the bamboo curtain in the ear room and went in.
After a while, a chubby middle-aged man walked out, stood in front of Wu Xiao and said, "Who are you two?"
Wu Xiao stretched out his sleeve and stretched it over, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, and slowly stretched his hand into Wu Xiao's sleeve, and after a while, his face was shocked, and then he understood.
He looked Wu Xiao and Hongyu up and down, and then said to the guy behind him: "I have something to go out, and someone comes to me to push it until tomorrow." The man answered, but the middle-aged man pulled Wu Xiao out of the store, looked around the street for a while, and said softly: "A few come with me first"
Wu Xiao followed him out of the Heavenly Workshop, turned a few alleys, and stopped in front of a small courtyard, which middle-aged man knocked on the door three times, and knocked three times after a while.
The gate of the courtyard was opened, and a man's head was peeking out of it, and when he saw that it was an acquaintance, he opened the courtyard door.
"Let's go in first, shall we?" said the middle-aged man to Wu Xiao
Wu Xiao didn't move, he looked at Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu squeezed over, stood in front of the courtyard gate and looked in, walked in, and soon after he came out and beckoned to Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao then pulled the red fish and walked in.
