Han Shizu

Chapter 337

It was three poles high in the sun, outside the north east city gate of Tokyo, the official road leading directly to Chenqiaoyi was very smooth, and there were many travelers on the road, but they all consciously avoided the two groups of nobles occupying the road.

With the majestic and majestic Kaifeng city in the background, Zheshi, the new concubine who has just entered the palace, personally sees off Zhe Congruan for his grandfather, reluctant to part.

"I've said it all, you don't need to see you off, you just entered the palace not long ago, don't be too conspicuous" Zhe Congruan shook his head while looking at his granddaughter who already had a woman's charm, but there was a sense of old-fashioned relief in his tone.

Although she was at the age of a young girl, it was obvious that Liu Chengyou didn't let her go, so she did what she had to do.The young lady combed her bun, with only light makeup on her face, her delicate face was still heroic, and she was dressed in a tight silk dress, outlining her figure just right.In short, girls are a thing of the past.

Facing Zhe Congruan's emotion, Mrs. Zhe responded with a smile: "I came to see my grandfather off, and I got permission from the government."

When Liu Chengyou was mentioned, Zhe Niang's face inadvertently revealed a blush.Zhe Congruan noticed it naturally, and felt a little relieved. It seemed that the emperor loved his granddaughter quite a bit.

But this is also conceivable, my granddaughter must have good looks, talent and virtue, and a sassy spirit that is rare among women in the world. reason.In addition, in today's Han Palace, there are only three concubines, the empress and the noble concubine are pregnant, and the Zhe family's daughter enters the palace, and is justly favored alone.

Pulling the granddaughter a little, before leaving, Zhe Congruan still did not forget to teach: "In the court, it is no better than at home. The emperor treats my family with great kindness. You should serve it wholeheartedly in the palace. Don't do anything arbitrarily and rely on favor. Arrogant. Since she is a virtuous concubine, she should be Shumin and follow the rules to complement her virtuousness. Otherwise, it is unpredictable that it will lead to disaster."

Zhe Xiaoniang is not an ordinary boudoir girl. Although she is young, she has her own ideas and insights. After hearing the advice, she respectfully said: "Remember the teachings of my grandfather, and I will never forget it. But, when I look at the official family, it is I love my temperament very much, a sage is also a magnanimous person, and the noble concubine respects humility."

Seeing this, Zhe Congruan shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "In the palace, you should be careful. However, the daughter of my Zhe family is not easy to bully!"

The little lady Zhe smiled sassyly, and told Zhe Congruan: "Grandfather is going to Yunzhou to take up a post. It's the first time he's here, so be careful and take everything seriously!"

"Hehe!" Zhe Congruan smiled heartily, and his mood was quite confident: "It's only a few hundred miles away. The old man came out of the border dangerously, and he has weathered wind and rain all his life. It's no big deal to go here with integrity!"

"Go back!" After the announcement, Zhecong Ruanchao Zhe Xiaoniang waved her hand: "We stand in this way, and we can influence those who walk by!"

Zhe Xiaoniang looked around, looking at the plant on the left side of the road, the elms and willows were in the shade, and the long willow branches were swaying under the warm summer wind.As soon as his eyes lit up, he stepped forward quickly, and easily broke off a small section of willow branch with his probing hand.

"Today, I will follow the example of the ancients and break willows to bid farewell to my grandfather!"

Zhe Congruan stroked his beard, his heart was quite moved, he stepped on the stirrup and mounted his horse, and under the guard of a group of trilogy, he raised his whip and went north.

I stayed there for a long time, until my grandfather's back was blocked by a building in the distance.

"Lady! It's time to go back to the palace!" A waiter beside him said softly.

Heaving a sigh of relief, the young lady's expression was not as relaxed as she was when she parted. Once her grandfather left, she was the only one left in this huge Tokyo city.Between the eyebrows, there is a maturity that is completely beyond her age. No matter how you say it, she has just turned 17 years old.

"Go back!" With a flick of her sleeves, Zhe Xiaoniang's voice was short and forceful, with her temperament and her status as a virtuous concubine, she was born with dignity and majesty.

"This is the second time since this year that I have stood in the streets of Tokyo and seen with my own eyes and ears the scene of the market at the foot of the emperor." The streets of Kaifeng became more and more lively, with people and vehicles passing by, Liu Chengyou stood under a memorial archway, Feeling the hustle and bustle of the surroundings, I sighed: "I can only see the scene here with my own eyes. Is there a trace of peace in my heart?"

There are more than ten people in Liu Chengyou's line, a complete set of servants and maidservants, and more than ten Kong Zhuang men, guarding tightly in a circle.The young man who led the team looked around, observing the surrounding scenery, with a look of high vigilance.

It was Zhao Kuangyin, for this guy, Liu Chengyou did not interfere with his development too much except for transferring him to the front division as a commander.However, in the previous selection for the imperial duty, he still stood out and became a close minister of the emperor and assumed the post of guardian.

Liu Chengyou obviously didn't have the consciousness of "private visits on micro-services". With this posture, standing on the street is really eye-catching. Of course, no one who doesn't open their eyes will take the initiative to make trouble.As far as Zhao Kuangyin is concerned, it is enough to make people daunting.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Chengyou's guards to be limited to this group of people.Although the posture is not small, he still tries his best to look like a noble son traveling.

As the emperor's new favorite, Zhe Xiaoniang was fortunate to be by his side, with light makeup and a light veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of bright and moving eyes.Hearing Liu Chengyou's exclamation, he opened his lips and uttered a crisp voice, and asked: "Tokyo's city is so prosperous, why is your lord so uneasy?"

Glancing at the bride next to him, Liu Chengyou smiled and didn't talk deeply.

"I heard you talk about the local conditions in Fuzhou, what do the frontier shops look like?" asked back.

"Hmm" Zhe Xiaoniang's delicate eyebrows showed a little nostalgia, and said: "Compared with the prosperity of Tokyo, I can't compare it. The city is very small, the houses are simple, but the streets are clean, although there are few business travelers, there are many ethnic groups. There is a warrior who fights in anger, and then goes to the state government to admit punishment."

What Zhe Xiaoniang said, the last sentence especially surprised Liu Chengyou: "The prefecture is always under the invasion of Beidi, and the people's customs are aggressive and martial arts is the right thing to do. But listen to your words, the people abide by their own laws. In this world where the legal system is incomplete and people's hearts are in chaos , Zhegong Town is like this, it is really not easy!"

Hearing Liu Chengyou praise her grandfather, Zhe Xiaoniang couldn't help grinning a little proudly.What she said, of course, was not mixed with water, since it was what she had seen and heard personally.Of course, it is more due to the great prestige of Zhe Congruan that the effect of observing their own laws can be achieved.

"Your Majesty, officials." When Liu Chengyou and Zhe Xiaoniang were talking in detail, Zhao Kuangyin approached and reminded with a calm expression: "There are mixed fish and dragons here, and there are many people coming and going. For the sake of completeness, please move the officials."

The smell in the air is not pleasant, the smell of blood, foul smell, human and animal smell mixed together.
This is the largest butcher shop in Tokyo. There are seventy or eighty butchers selling meat in it, and half of them opened this year alone.The main business is mutton, followed by beef, chicken and duck, but with the promotion of the imperial court, pork has begun to appear on the table.The emperor loves to eat something, and he praises it strongly, how can he call it cheap.

Liu Chengyou had already walked around the meat shop before, and looked at the market price, and it was not surprising that it was very expensive.In the case of barely enough grain and grain to keep people alive and unable to fill their stomachs, the meat market seems to be doing abnormally well and booming.

"Let's go!" Facing Zhao Kuangyin's persuasion, Liu Chengyou accepted it humbly, turned his head to the young lady and said, "We will not make things difficult for Zhao Kuangyin!"

"Thank you, officer!" Zhao Kuangyin bowed after hearing Liu Chengyou's words.

"Where do you plan to go next?"

The weather was still early, Liu Chengyou had thought about it a long time ago, and said directly: "I've seen the meat store, and then I'll go to the fish store."

　I am about to resign, and I am standing at the crossroads of my life, plunged headlong into a new industry. There are too many things to learn, and I really don't have much time and energy to code.

　　If code words can really support the family, I would like to work full-time, but unfortunately I can't.
