Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 2, Master Whereabouts

Coming out of the bridge hole, Jiang Yan took a look at the surrounding environment. At this time, Jiang Yan found that the bridge hole he lived in was not far from the city wall of Sijiu City.

These four nine cities were the kingdoms of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the past. Jiang Yan had heard of the saying that there were nine inner nine outer seven imperial cities and four four in the four nine cities.

"Inner Nine Outer Seven Imperial City Four" means that the inner city has nine gates, the outer city has seven gates, and the imperial city has four gates. The four gates of the imperial city are Tian'anmen, Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, Xi'an Gate; and the nine gates in the inner city are Zhengyang Gate (Qianmen), Chongwenmen, Xuanwumen, Chaoyangmen, Fuchengmen, Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, Andingmen and Deshengmen.

This city wall is much bigger than the city wall of Xi'an that I saw before. It is no loss that it was the former capital, but it is a pity that it was demolished in later generations.If it was placed in its own era, it would be another excellent tourist attraction.

But under the current city wall, the rubbish pile is almost at the same level as the city wall, and it still emits a bad smell.

He raised his head and glanced at the city gate. Fortunately, his eyesight was better, and he saw the large characters of Zhengyangmen without any effort.

Seeing Zhengyangmen, Jiang Yan felt mixed feelings, although he had made up his mind before to stay calm.But now it seems that what I thought before was a bit idealistic.

What if I don't have a reasonable way to make money, I can't follow my master to sell my art for a lifetime!

I should find a serious job. In my previous life, I was a dignified undergraduate graduate, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find a job.

But when Jiang Yan saw his small arms and legs, Jiang Yan instantly gave up the idea of ​​looking for a job.

Another reason to dispel this idea is that I don't know traditional Chinese characters!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help complaining, I offended some great god, let me time travel to this era, and time travel, you are about the same age as me anyway!How to make it into a ten-year-old child is a problem, and it is a problem to live in this chaotic time.

This is really nothing to have a dragon slaying skill, but I am young!
Forget it, don't think about it, let's go to the master!Jiang Yan pulled his patched clothes and strode towards the overpass.

well!I don't want to wear such a tattered suit, I have already searched in the supermarket just now, except for some gloves and socks, there is no clothes at all.

Passing through Zhengyangmen, you will come to the busiest Qianmen Street in Sijiu City. I have to say that this Qianmen Street is really lively.

Hutongs and courtyards with blue bricks and gray tiles, Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme, and 72 lines that are almost extinct in later generations, all kinds of shouts come and go, and there is a breath of life when listening.

Sijiucheng Flyover, that is the busiest place in the whole Sijiucheng. There are almost everyone here. If you don’t believe me, there are almost all the performers, jugglers, crosstalk talkers, fortune tellers, and medical practitioners. Hardly far away.Especially the various snacks of Yanjing, which smell delicious.

After arriving at the overpass, Jiang Yan didn't immediately look for his master, but squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement. I have to say that the performances here were almost devoid of moisture, and they really couldn't perform these performances without three or five years.

Looking at these performances, Jiang Yan couldn't help but think, if these were captured by himself and put on Douyin, they would easily be over [-].

After watching for a long time, Jiang Yan remembered what he came here for, so he left the crowd and walked to the place where he and his master often perform. However, Jiang Yan was disappointed that his master was not there at all, and went all over the place. Tianqiao didn't even see his master.

This time, Jiang Yan was caught blind, so his master wouldn't have slipped away!What if he slipped away!

Finding a shady place, Jiang Yan sat down straight away, he was so tired after walking around!
Goo-goo-goo, my stomach groaned again in disbelief. I was hungry again after a while. Just now in the cafeteria, Jiang Yan found that his food intake seemed to have increased a lot. Just now, he had eaten several large bowls of rice and vegetable.

If this was put in front of him, he would be considered as having a big stomach if he could eat one-fifth of it.

It is estimated that Jiang Yan has forgotten which era he lived in and what era it is here.

Although he had no money in his previous life, he ate and drank much better than now. It can also be said that there is one sky and one earth. Before talking about it, although he had no money, he was not short of oil and water!It is good not to have too much supplementary food.

Everyone in this era is generally short of oil and water.They rely entirely on carbohydrates to provide energy, and there are almost no non-staple foods. Therefore, it is really not just talk to say that people in this era eat a few big bowls, and half-children eat poor people.

Let's fill up our stomach first!There are so many people here, Jiang Yan dare not take things out of the space.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan got up and walked directly to the place selling snacks.

Before approaching the shed selling snacks, various voices of selling came over.

"Here comes the bee cake! Ai Wowo"

"The donkey full of sugar is rolling! No sweet, no money."

"Crispy biscuits! Mosaic."

"The yellow of peas! What a big piece."

"Boiled and fried, fried ghosts, cheap and filling."

Smelling the aroma of the food, Jiang Yan went directly to a place selling buns. Seeing the bulging buns, Jiang Yan's saliva wanted to flow down.

But before Jiang Yan could speak, the steamed stuffed bun owner glared at Jiang Yan and cursed, "Where did you come from beggars? Don't mistake me for business. Get out of here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was furious, but seeing the huge size of the bun seller, Jiang Yan had no choice but to leave.But he was scolding in his heart, this bastard grandson is really not a good thing.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to go back to the place where he squatted just now, thinking in his heart, or else he would leave here first, find a place to fill his stomach and squat here as his master.

"Xiaoyan, what are you doing here!" At this moment, Jiang Yan felt a slap on the back, and when he turned around, he saw Tian Zao standing behind him with a few children.

"Sister Zao, I don't take you like this. You don't know that there is a saying that people scare people and scare people to death! If I'm going to be scared to death, don't you feel guilty!"

The person who came was Tian Zao, the king of children in this area. She brought a dozen children to live in several streets in this area.

I set up a stall here with my master to perform art, and got acquainted with her after coming and going.

However, Jiang Yan from later generations knew that Tian Zao was the first heroine in the TV series "Hutong" that later generations had watched.

"Cuckoo" my stomach let out a growl.

Hearing the cries in Jiang Yan's stomach, Tian Zao laughed a few times, and randomly took out two sesame seed cakes from his satchel and handed them to Jiang Yan
"Let's eat!"

Jiang Yan took the sesame biscuits and took a bite. The sesame biscuits were really fragrant. After eating the sesame biscuits, Jiang Yan said to Tian Zao vaguely: "Thank you, Miss Zao, by the way, Miss Zao, have you seen my master?"

"I saw him yesterday afternoon, but your master seemed to be injured. I asked him at that time! He said it's okay and said he would take care of it. I haven't seen him since then."

"My master is injured, whether it's serious or not," Jiang Yan asked after hearing this, put down the biscuits in his hand, and pulled Tian Zao's hand nervously.

"I don't know, but I saw a lot of blood."

When Jiang Yan heard this, the sesame biscuits in his hand were no longer fragrant.Quickly thinking about everything about his master in his head, this rummaging really made Jiang Yan discover the clue.

Ever since Jiang Yan and the master came to Sijiu City, the whereabouts of the master became strange. He disappeared several nights every week. When asked what he was doing, the master just patted his head and said that he was doing something to help the poor. things.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan was almost certain that his master might be an underground party.Suddenly, something seemed to come to mind.
