Chinese dining table

Chapter 62 Trapped in Guzang City

The Chang'an official dialect spoken by the woman is very nice.

It's not like ordinary Chang'an people who can speak hard, and it's not like quarrels are all quarrels.

Yunchu felt that what this woman said made sense. Up until now, he and Naha had been wearing their clothes indiscriminately. Yunchu only had two pairs of underwear, and he gave Naha a pair of shorts to wear. A pair of underwear, which is very bad.

After crossing Wushao Ridge, even if you have entered the birthplace of the Li family in Longxi, I heard from Ding Dayou that if you enter Longxi, even ordinary farmers, it is best not to provoke them, maybe it is the Li family who is the emperor today An elder of the patriarch.

Since ancient times, the royal family has been a representative of unreasonableness. The whole world belongs to other families, and it is understandable to be unreasonable.

I and Naha's clothes are not in the same way, Han is not Han, don't let people pick out the reason and it will be troublesome.

Of course, this woman bullied their younger brothers and sisters, and thought she could take advantage of it, which made Yunchu dislike it a little.

So, he threw another bag of copper coins to another criminal woman, and allowed her to follow the boy to the silk cloth shop to purchase.

The criminal woman looked at the young servant and companion who had gone away, feeling very sorry...

There is a very good kitchen and pots and stoves in the yard, and Yunchu never pretends to be outsiders when it comes to things that come into his and Naha's mouths.

So it only took him a moment to prepare two large bowls of poached eggs, and he used up all six eggs in the kitchen in one go.

Poached eggs soaked in naan cakes are the breakfast for Yunchu and Naha.

The place where Tang people eat is a low table that is about the same height as the coffee table, and they have to sit on their knees when eating, which is very painful.

Yunchu and Naha didn't have the habit of kneeling and sitting. One sat on the woolen mat with his legs spread out, while the other wandered around with a bowl to eat.

It may be that the desire for eggs in the eyes of the sinful woman who served them was too strong.

Naha pierced a poached egg with chopsticks and brought it to the criminal woman, saying: "Here, eat!"

The criminal woman was taken aback, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in horror.

Yun Chu frowned and said: "Go and get an empty bowl, the little lady gave it to you, you can eat it, just don't touch her bowl and chopsticks."

The criminal woman brought a broken bowl tremblingly. Naha shook the poached eggs on the chopsticks into the criminal woman's bowl, and thoughtfully poured some egg soup into the broken bowl, and tore off a large piece of naan bread from the low table. into the broken bowl of the sinner.

Facing these criminal women aloofly, this is a kind of behavior of doing as the Romans do.For Yunchu and Naha, two newcomers to Datang, this is a very correct and cautious behavior.

Yun Chu didn't know if showing kindness to these poor people would bring him and Na Halai any danger.

This world is not another world he is familiar with. In that world, sins are not as good as his family members. This is one of the bottom lines of the law.

This was not the case in the Tang Dynasty. Yunchu saw a lot of precedents from the documents. It is a basic operation for one person to make a mistake and kill the whole family. It is not uncommon for one person to make a mistake and kill dozens of relatives.

The three tribes of Yi, the nine tribes of Zhu...

The sinful woman greedily ate the naan bread in the bowl, but instead of grabbing it with her hands, she ate it with two shiny black chopsticks.

After Yunchu finished his meal, he set his eyes on Naha, holding her head and sniffing carefully. Naha knew what her brother was going to do, so she screamed and turned around and ran away.

Yun Chu caught up with Na Ha in one stride, picked her up, and said to the convicts who had just finished eating: "Prepare hot water for her to take a good bath."

The remaining three convicts had prepared hot water long ago, and watched as Yun Chu roughly tore off Naha's clothes and was about to throw them into the bathtub.

A criminal woman stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't do this to a young lady."

Yun Chu glanced at Naha who was struggling in his arms like a maggot, then at the convict woman and said, "Do you have a solution?"

There was a look of reminiscence on the criminal woman's face, and she whispered: "You have to let the little lady like bathing herself.

Besides, the little lady is already grown up, so the gentleman should avoid her.You can't just tear off the little lady's clothes, it's not good for the little lady's boudoir reputation. "

Yun Chu thought for a while, and felt that what the criminal woman said made sense, so he put the naked Naha into the criminal woman's arms, looked into the criminal woman's eyes and said, "Yun Na is my sister, my dear sister. "

After speaking, he put down the bath beans, spices and other bathing items brought from the Western Regions, and left the bathing place.

I have to say that when it comes to taking care of children, especially little girls, men are really not very successful.

While Naha was taking a bath, Yunchu once again came to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion to look for Facao Guo Mingyi.

This time, Yunchu explained to Facao the reason why he needed to leave Guzang City as soon as possible to go to Chang'an to enroll in the Four Schools.

I hope that the case outside the city last night will allow him to escape sooner. After all, he is just a passer-by, not a thief.

Guo Mingyi also believed that Yunchu, a promising young official, could not be related to the vendetta last night, but it was impossible to leave Guzang City immediately.

In any case, he had to wait until the soldiers who went out of the city to pursue those barbarians and thieves came back before they could leave.

When going out, Yun Chu was very frustrated, the gold sentence in his sleeve was not handed out, which proved that he really couldn't leave immediately.

This is the real dilemma.

The old monkey ran away, and Ding Dayou was still in Ganzhou. He didn't want to cross Wushaoling alone with 2000 taels of gold.

There are also thieves within the border of the Tang Dynasty!

Back at the post house, Naha ran over with two big buns on her head, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her white arms, and asked her brother to smell if she was fragrant now. Yun Chu sniffed it, and it was indeed fragrant .

Not only is this child's body fragrant, but even his chapped face seems to have become much smoother.

Yun Chu took a look at the convicts who were just following Naha, then threw out a bag of copper coins and said, "Good job."

The criminal women took the money bag and withdrew it gratefully.

How to go back to Chang'an is now a big problem, Yunchu began to regret not entrusting the gold to Cheng Chumo.

However, gold is not very important to him. In Datang, Yunchu had the courage to come back after all the gold was gone.

On the contrary, Naha and his two lives are the most important.

Now, it's really time to think about how to protect these two little lives.

Walk alone?
Ding Dayou's brave and unparalleled image still inspires him, which allows him to remain calm in the face of danger, and believes that he can fight a bloody way out of thousands of troops.

This is the bloodliness that a Tang person, especially a soldier, must have. Now, Datang relies on this thing to conquer the north and the north, and defend the great power of the Tang Dynasty.

If it was really a single person, Yunchu would not lack such courage. The problem is that after taking Naha with him, he is not willing to make such a reckless attempt.

Naha leaned against the door, peeking secretly at the convicts who were sewing clothes for them under the eaves outside the door.

The gray-haired criminal woman quietly waved to Naha, and Naha shyly walked past.

Yun Chu glanced at it and didn't care. The child didn't have many friends when he was in the tribe, and he didn't have any playmates after following him. Now, she wants to talk to that criminal woman and see how they make clothes. of.

Being extremely bored, Yunchu's eyes fell on the books on the bookshelf, and he picked up a book and found that it was a "Sui Shu"

Look at the cover, the editor on the top is Wei Zheng, and the names below Wei Zheng are - Yan Shigu, Kong Yingda and Xu Jingzong.

Everyone who participated in the compilation is a guy with a great reputation, Yun Chu slowly flipped through this "Sui Shu".

On the whole, "Sui Shu" promotes the excellent historical tradition of straight writing, and there are fewer critics and taboos.

The editor-in-chief Wei Zheng is just upright. The biography he presided over has fewer songs and is not taboo for the venerable.

For example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was "severe" and arbitrary, "displeased with poetry and books", "darker than the avenue", Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty's hypocritical appearance, "killing flesh and blood, slaughtering loyal and good people", etc., are all written truthfully, without any taboo.

However, Yunchu is not interested in these political parts, because many laws and systems in the Sui Dynasty, as well as human relations, are completely different from those in the Tang Dynasty, and basically there are not many similarities.

Compared with politics, he is more interested in the strange people and strange things compiled in the book, as well as economic, technological and cultural materials.

Before he knew it, Yunchu saw the name of a man named Mai Tiezhang. This guy was a postman and he ran very fast. Well, this guy also has a great record of sending imperial edicts from the capital to Xuzhou at night, "returning from night to dawn".

From Chang'an to Xuzhou?Return his mother's night to dawn?
Chang'an and Xuzhou are not very unfamiliar to Yunchu, so after calculating in his mind, he doesn't have much trust in this "Sui Shu".

Because the last time he drove from Xi'an to Xuzhou, the car drove very fast, and most of the road was still high-speed. It took nearly eight hours and ran [-] kilometers.

From night to dawn?What are you talking about?
Just when Yunchu was about to put back the book that recorded Wei Zheng's stains, the word "Yizu" suddenly popped up in his mind.

That's right, postmen are the postmen of the Tang Dynasty. They run on the road all year round, delivering some letters and light objects for the court or wealthy families.

These people are not only familiar with the road conditions, but also with the various forces on the road. In addition, these people's military strength is not bad... I heard from Ma Gui just now that there are many such people in the Dongcheng Station.

So Yunchu appeared in Ma Gui's office again.

It has to be said that Ma Gui's net worth should be far from what Yunchu saw. It was just a sample of various goods placed on the shelf in his office. Yunchu understood that this guy's business is very large.

"Oh, sir, do you want to hire postmen to run errands for him?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's to deliver a batch of goods to Chang'an for me."

Ma Gui laughed and said: "It's simple, a certain family just go and call the head of the post."

Yun Chu pressed Ma Gui's hand and said, "Brother Ma, this batch of goods from my younger brother includes younger brother and younger sister."

Ma Gui frowned and said, "This is difficult."

Yun Chu said: "What's the difficulty? There should be no difference between sending someone and delivering goods?"

Ma Guipi smiled and said: "There is a big difference."

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows frivolously and said, "Is there a difference in property?"

Ma Gui was embarrassed and said: "If you want to go back to Chang'an, you can just recruit some warriors from Guzang. You don't need these posts, and the cost is also low."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "It's not that I didn't think about recruiting some warriors in the past. After going to the market, I found that those people couldn't even afford a pair of shoes. Do you think such people are reliable?"
