Chapter 66: Not So Bad Chang'an City

Chapter 66: Not So Bad Chang'an City
Under the city of Chang'an, a hairy man was looking up at the tall gates of Chang'an, so that he didn't even know that the leather hat fell off his head.

"Brother, it's so tall——"

Naha hopes that her brother can hold her waist so that she can see the whole picture of Chang'an Anyuanmen.

"You can see it from a distance."

"If you stay far away, you won't be able to smell the fragrance."

Yun Chu smelled the smell and looked over, only to find a man standing there who was smiling lewdly at their siblings.

"Gourd chicken! Gourd chicken, fifteen yuan each!"

Although the Anyuan Gate at this time was more than three meters taller than the Anyuan Gate built in the Ming Dynasty, in Yunchu's eyes, it was still nothing.

I think he once lived in the tallest building in Shanghai to watch the sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds.

In contrast, Anyuanmen, which is just over [-] meters high, is indeed very small and short.

However, the taste of gourd chicken is a bit overbearing, not only Naha, but Yunchu is also a bit greedy.

After seeing this guy's gourd chicken in a big jar, Yunchu was still a little disappointed. As far as he knew, gourd chicken was boiled in water, then steamed, and finally deep-fried.

The gourd chicken that this guy brought didn't go through the frying process at all, but Yunchu could also understand that at this time, oil was more precious to Tang people than a mere chicken.

Yun Chu bought four in a fit of rage, one for him, one for Naha, one for Cui Shi, and one for the fat lynx that Naha had raised.

Cui really didn't like the way a little lady like Naha ate gourd chicken while walking, but seeing the happy smiles on the faces of Yunchu and Naha, she decided to play around with their siblings.

Ma Rong and those people took away ten camels and some money. These people were very professional. After sending Yunchu and the others to Chang'an, they immediately took their own camels on their way home.

Yun Chu didn't want to bring seven stinky camels into Chang'an City, so he sold the seven camels at the livestock market outside Chang'an City, and bought a nice carriage for Cui Shi and Naha to ride in.

Yun Chu originally came to see a carriage drawn by two horses. After asking someone, he found out that a low-ranking official like himself could only buy a carriage drawn by one horse. Products, not even the qualifications to ride a carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage was relatively large, and everything could be loaded on it, including Yunchu's only 2000 taels of gold.

The carriage was not very impressive, but the bay red horse was obviously a standout among the team preparing to enter the city.

And the appearance of the Yunchu brothers and sisters does not match this horse.

The people of Chang'an are not nice at all, they all seem rude and unreasonable, some came to ask if the bay red horse was for sale, some came to ask if the fat lynx was for sale, and some even came to ask Naha, the little orchid. Do you need to pass it by.

Only Yunchu was ignored.

This made Yunchu a little worried about the quality of the residents in the city of Chang'an.

Yunchu ate a gourd chicken very quickly, mainly because Naha ate faster, not only finished her own, but also took away Yunchu's two chicken legs.

I really don't know how such a small child can pack so many things into his belly in one breath.

Entering Chang'an City, Yunchu was disappointed to find that there was a world-like difference between this place and the Tang Paradise.

Dilapidated people, dilapidated cities, dilapidated streets, dilapidated high walls, and dilapidated barbarians.

Chang'an in the early winter seems to be covered with a layer of dust, everywhere is gray, like a person's face has not been washed.

Yunchu firmly believed that the old monkey must be very disappointed at this time, because the city of Chang'an was very different from what he dreamed of.

It can be seen that this old monkey was miserably deceived by Master Xuanzang.

Naha's feeling is different from Yunchu's. She has never seen so many people, such a tall city wall, such a wide and clean street, and she has never seen so many gorgeously dressed people.

The moment he stepped into Chang'an City, the pride of Yunchu Datang officials disappeared in an instant, and he no longer enjoyed all the conveniences that belonged to officials. Even when he entered the city just now, he was ranked behind a group of servants.

This feeling is no stranger to Yunchu, because he has experienced this feeling in Beijing before, so he accepts it calmly.

Mrs. Cui seems to be very, very familiar with Chang'an. When Yunchu told her that she wanted to set up her home in Jinchangfang, No.11 Fang, No. [-], East Third Street, Guo Zhuquemen Street, Chang'an Waiguo, she didn't need the groom who had just hired to talk too much. Arrived at Jinchangfang with the carriage and Yunchu brothers and sisters.

As He Yizheng said, Jinchangfang is not a bustling city, it can even be said that it is a somewhat desolate place.

The gatekeeper looked at the documents in Yunchu's hand, took Yunchu to the head of the workshop, and told the head of the workshop that from now on, this house belonged to the doctor surnamed Yun, and at the same time warned the director of the workshop, from now on From now on, whenever there is a murder case in this house, the lawsuit will have nothing to do with the He family.

Between Yun's and He's, there is only the relationship of buying and selling houses, and there is no other connection at all.

The members of the He family never looked at people directly, they didn't even look at the reward that Yunchu had prepared for him, and left with their nostrils upturned.

The head of the workshop seemed not surprised by this kind of scene, and after recording Yunchu's confession, he made an appointment with Yunchu to go to Wannian County Household Cao to record the household registration and the house title deed tomorrow morning.

Seeing that the head of the workshop never said anything about leaving, Yun Chu took out twenty coins and put them into the hands of the head of the workshop, and then reluctantly left with tears.

After the door left, Yunchu realized that this guy had taken the lock with him, and walked into the yard. The first thing he saw was not the house here, but the tall and majestic gate of the Daci'en Temple behind the house.

It's not that Yunchu has the ability to predict the future, but that there is a line of words written in gold letters on a blue background on the tall and majestic mountain gate-the Da Ci'en Temple was built by decree, and there is also the seal of Emperor Taizong underneath.

Seeing these things, Yunchu's face trembled slightly. He never thought that his home and Da Ci'en Temple are in the same Chang'anfang City, and his home is the one closest to the Da Ci'en Temple. As a householder, it can be said that if Yunchu opened a back door at home, then, after crossing a road, he could directly step on the steps of the mountain gate of Da Ci'en Temple.

With the Daci'en Temple known as "Hongliang Caijing, Danqing Yunqi, Qiongba Tongda, Jinhuanhuapu, and Jiashuli" as the background, no matter how well Yunchu's home is built, it cannot attract the attention of others .

No wonder He Yizheng gave this house to Yunchu so generously, no one in this world would like to be a neighbor to the royal family.

If, on a sunny morning, the emperor felt that some dilapidated buildings at the entrance of the Da Ci'en Temple were unsightly, he issued an order, and the next day, the people in Yunchu's family could only hold the quilt and look at his own. The home was demolished.

As for compensation, Yunchu believes that there will be no such thing now, after all, the whole world belongs to the emperor.

However, Yunchu seemed to see the shadow of the old monkey again from this incident.

Naha and Cui Shi are very happy, especially Cui Shi, even feeling a little high-spirited.

The courtyard is a courtyard with three entrances. Enter from the gate and bypass the screen wall. There are only two rows of side rooms in the first entrance. There is a large piece of green brick paved ground in the middle. Facing the screen wall is a wide hallway, which is connected to the second entrance courtyard. , there are many buildings in this yard, among which the main building is the most grand, with flying eaves on the roof, and the dripping eaves extend nearly two meters forward, supported by six thick red-painted pillars, It looked very dignified.

This should be the place where the head of the family meets guests, but unfortunately, there is nothing inside, not even a futon, but there are two swallow nests, one under the east eaves and one under the west eaves, white from the ground Judging from the droppings of swallows, there are still swallows living here when it is warm this year.

Enter the back house along the narrow corridors on both sides. The area here is much larger. Not to mention two wells, there is also a garden covering an area of ​​about one mu of land. It is winter now, and the garden is dilapidated. Even the bamboos on both sides of the yard don’t look as energetic as before.

In other words, the house that Yunchu got was an empty shell.

Just when Yunchu and Naha felt disappointed, Cui wrapped a cloth handkerchief on her head and said to Yunchu, "From today onwards, the servant, the chief steward of the inner house, will take office immediately."

Yun Chu spread his hands regretfully and said, "There are only the three of us in the family plus a lynx, a war horse, and a draft horse. You can command them to your heart's content."

Cui said with a smile: "Your Majesty and my young lady first arrived in Chang'an, so it is time to take a good look at the city and get acquainted with the people here. As long as you leave two hundred coins for my concubine, one month later, the Yun family's mansion will be opened." It will appear in Chang'an City."

Yun Chu said: "You seem to be very familiar with this place."

Cui pointed to the splendid Daci'en Temple behind and said: "There used to be a temple here, named Wulou Temple. Coincidentally, my former home was right next to Wulou Temple. Now, my home is It has already become a part of the Great Mercy Temple, so how can I not be familiar with it?"

Speaking of this, Cui wiped away tears and said: "I just hope that Mr. Lang can find a good woman from a good family as soon as possible to fill the inner house, and wait for the child to be born. In this way, our family will be tidy and there will be nothing lacking."

Yun Chu patted Cui's hand and said, "It's really hard work."

Cui shook her head and said: "It's not hard, I like the dilapidated appearance of Yunzhai at this time, and I will renovate it brick by brick.

When the house is refurbished, the hatred in my heart will disappear. "

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Well, you talked a lot. From now on, the house on the west side will belong to you. If you wish, you can put your grandparents' spirit seat there. Absolutely, even if you die, it’s not a big deal.”

Cui suddenly raised her head, looked at Yunchu in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it possible? I remember that in Datang, a family cannot have two heads."

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "The Yun family regards me as their ancestor!"

After finishing speaking, he took out two bags of copper coins from the carriage and left them to Cui Shi, and he took Naha, Lynx Dafei, and bay red horse in the carriage to an exquisite guest house that he saw on the way.
