back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 877
Chang'an's bazaar has long broken the boundaries of the square market.As long as there are people living, there are all kinds of markets.

Some markets are open during the day.Some markets are only lively at night.At that time, people had an appropriate name, calling it "Night Market".

The prosperity of the night market has appeared since the reign of Emperor Taizu.During Taizu's time, only Chang'an had no curfew. Now, there is almost no such thing as curfew in every prefecture city in Dashun.

On April [-]th of the third year of Qiande, Emperor Taizu ordered Kaifeng Mansion: "The night market in the capital city has not been prohibited until the third drum." Since then, the food night market has not only appeared in large numbers, but also flourished.

The night market lasted until the third shift, and then reopened at the fifth shift.If you want to make trouble, you will know it all.Although the winter moon is windy, snowy and rainy, there are also night markets.Not to mention that it is only March in Yangchun, and although the weather is colder than in later years, the night market is still thriving.All kinds of snacks, all kinds of foot shops, all kinds of juggling, and vendors selling all kinds of gadgets. In the crowded night market, the sound of selling is one after another, and the business is endless day and night.Fortunately, the three children play and play, and they know how far they can't leave.Otherwise, once the crowd squeezes in, they will disappear immediately.Han Feng'er also didn't care about flirting with Lu Chengqi, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lu Wei and Lu Houxu's hands, while Lu Chengqi hugged Lu Xiu, and the family wandered around the picturesque night market full of tourists.At that time, there were more literati and poets who chanted poems to wine. Su Shi once wrote and left a poem "Longjin watches the night market, and the lights are also brilliant... I don't know the noise of the capital, but it is called Jianghu Township".

At this time, the largest and most prosperous night market was the Mahang Street Night Market.Mahang Street is the seat of the Imperial Palace’s imperial guards, and many people from the capital, public and private, go in and out of it. Therefore, even in heavy snowstorms and rainy days, the night market is always well-known. The lights and oily smoke make it difficult for mosquitoes to stop. .People at that time have records: the world suffers from mosquitoes and gnats, and there is no such thing as a single horse walking in the streets of the capital.Horse street, the night market in the capital, where restaurants are very prosperous.Its bustling and lively can be imagined, so that the horses and horses on the Maxing Street are so crowded that they cannot stop.Even in Siyubei Lane, even on snowy nights and rainy nights, the lights are shining brightly, and you can clearly hear the rhyming and ear-piercing cries of peddlers.

"Daddy, there are so many people here, why is our house so deserted?"

Lu Xiu, who was sitting on Lu Chengqi's shoulder, smiled like a crescent moon, and asked in a childish voice.

Lu Chengqi sighed, and said: "Daddy envies them too, but Daddy can't help it." The reason why he felt so emotional was that Lu Chengqi heard one after another, one after another, from the mouth of artists in restaurants and teahouses. The sound of music, the laughter of the citizens, the tune of silk and bamboo orchestras, and the sound of drinking. The so-called "night market with thousands of lights shining on the blue clouds, high-rise buildings with red sleeves and customers. Prosperity is evident!
After visiting the two night markets, the whole family was hungry.

Lu Chengqi spent more than a dozen renminbi to buy a food box, and then bought roast chicken, roast duck, soup, dishes, etc., and said mysteriously: "Xiu'er, will Daddy take you to a place?"

"Daddy, is it fun?"

Facing his daughter's question, Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "Of course it's fun!"

Lu Wei, on the other hand, spent the whole night playing around with the newly bought Kong Ming lock, and he was determined not to give up until he unlocked it.There are many types of Kongming locks, and the concave and convex parts inside are engaged, which is very clever.The shape and internal structure of each Kongming lock are different, and they are generally easy to disassemble and difficult to install.But this is only for adults, and it is still a bit difficult for children to understand.

But Lu Wei should not be troubled, after all, he even figured out the principle of clockwork, so he is still afraid of this child's toy!

When they arrived at Fengquanfang, it was already half past Xu time.

"Where is this place?"

Lu Xiu felt that the place was a little deserted, so she couldn't help asking.

"This is your grandma's house. How long has it been since Xiu'er saw grandma?"

Lu Chengqi finally solved the mystery.

"Grandma's house?" Lu Xiu struggled to get down and rushed to the door of Yi Shanzhu. Since she couldn't reach the copper ring, she could only knock on the door and shouted loudly: "Grandma, grandma, Xiu'er is here to see you!"

Not long after, Zhumen opened with a "squeak", and a housekeeper came out and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"I am the current noble concubine." Han Feng'er said lightly.

"Ah, it's the imperial concubine!" The housekeeper immediately came to his senses, "Madam is in the main hall, the younger one will take the imperial concubine there!"

Lu Houxu looked at all this calmly, neither making noise nor making noise, just a very good boy.Lu Wei was still fiddling with Kong Mingsuo. He had already taken it apart, but he hadn't figured out how to put it back together.

After a group of five people came to the main hall, Mother Han, who was drinking tea, trembled and almost dropped the teacup: "Feng'er?!"

"mother!"

"Grandma!"

When Han Mu saw it, she was overjoyed: "Xiu'er!"

Then she saw Lu Chengqi and was taken aback: "Your Majesty? I have seen Your Majesty before!"

Lu Chengqi quickly helped her up and said: "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be polite. Madam, we haven't eaten yet, we bought some food, and we want to eat at your house, okay?"

How could Han's mother object, she couldn't wish for it! "Your Majesty's words are over, I just had dinner, and there is still some food left. But the five of you, it shouldn't be enough to eat, I will ask the servants to cook some dishes and cook some rice..."

Lu Chengqi hurriedly said: "You are old and sit down, Feng'er just go to Zhangluo..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but with Lu Xiu as the pistachio, it soon became active.Even Lu Houxu and Lu Wei called grandma a few times obediently, which made Mother Han very happy.

Lu Chengqi, like an ordinary son-in-law, did not show the might of an emperor.After the food was ready, the family happily ate a home-cooked meal.Even Han's mother ate another bowl of rice for the first time.

There was constant laughter during the banquet, and Mother Han even regarded the three children as her darlings, and kept serving them food.Fortunately, the few children have good tutors, and they dare not waste it. In addition, they are really hungry and eat a lot.

It is a miracle that a table of food was swept away after a meal was enjoyable.

After the meal, the family chatted about family affairs, more like an ordinary family.

Lu Chengqi asked suddenly: "Isn't Chengyi planning to start a family? He's in his twenties?"

Mother Han sighed: "He? He has great ambitions and few talents, so he has to learn from Huo Hussar. He said, 'How can the Xiongnu be at home'? He doesn't even look at him, is he that material! Your Majesty, the job you gave him , he is not happy yet!"

Lu Chengqi smiled: "It's good to have ambitions. If he got married earlier and had Zi Cong, I can let him go to the army. It's just a pity, he is the only one, how can I have the heart to let the Han family cut off their incense?"

Mother Han sighed, and said, "He has his own ideas, and others cannot force them..."

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "If madam tells him that this is my promise, he will be obedient."

Han Feng'er stretched out her finger, and pinched Lu Chengqi hard: "Okay, you want to send Uncle Guo to the fire pit?"

"It hurts...Feng'er, if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish? Cheng Yi wants to join the army, and I can't help it, but the incense of the Han family cannot be broken. Depressed, right?" Lu Chengqi smiled helplessly.

"Oh, Cheng Yi, like his father, is a donkey. He is so stubborn that others can't easily persuade him. If His Majesty's words are useful, I have the right to try it." Mother Han said with a sigh.

"It will definitely work!" Lu Chengqi assured, patting his chest.
