General, this plot is wrong

Chu Heng stayed on the ship for a month. Apart from occasionally giving needles to the boatmen, he just hid in the cabin and taught the two little ones how to read.

Seeing that October passed, their ship finally arrived at Jiangcheng, the destination where the ship stopped to unload.

There was still some distance between Jiangcheng Wharf and Yandu. After disembarking, Chu Heng had to drive for three or two days along the official road outside the city to reach Yandu.

On the edge of the pier, there was a long row of horse-drawn carriages, and there was a lot of people coming and going, people picking up people, giving people away, and loading and unloading goods, and there was a lot of noise for a while.

Chu Heng bid farewell to the boat boss, picked a sturdy carriage, and took Shao Aniu and Wuwei to sit on it.

The handlebar style is an honest man, he yelled, drove the carriage and left from the pier, and he was on the official road not long after.

This official road outside Jiangcheng, together with the goods exchanged between Yandu and Dayan.Most of the goods transported to Yandu by water need to be unloaded at Jiangcheng Wharf, and then enter Yandu through this official road.

The carriage hurriedly followed the long caravan for two days, and finally arrived at Yandu at sunset.

Chu Heng still remembered that when the book described Yandu, the capital city of Dayan, it mentioned "Fang" several times.

This is a saying in the Tang Dynasty. For example, the city of Chang'an was divided into more than 38 squares by 100 streets.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the city and saw the tall square gate, although Chu Heng had already prepared himself, he was still surprised.

At this time, the first sound of gongs and drums to close the workshop was sounded on the city tower in the palace city.Afterwards, street drums followed in turn from south to north, spreading wave after wave from inside to outside.

"What's that sound?" Wuwei looked out curiously, and Shao Aniu followed suit.

Chu Heng didn't say a word, but the handlebars replied outside: "This is the street drum of Yandu. The street drum rings at five o'clock, which is when the gate of the square is opened. It sounds like now, which is urging the shops to close and the people to go home. , the doors of the squares are going to be closed. When the street drums beat eight hundred times, all the squares and markets will be closed, so it’s not easy to go around. Otherwise, it’s a night ban, and the Marquis Wu will be arrested and questioned if they see it.”

Wuwei let out an "ah", as if he didn't expect Yandu to have such rules.

"Then we have to find a place to settle down quickly, or the drums will stop."

"No rush, no rush, sir, tell me a place, and I'll send it right away."

Chu Heng looked at the sky, then lowered his head and covered the sleeping Jiang Li with his clothes.Outside the carriage, the still sounding street drums seemed to call the sun down one by one.

"Do you know Jiang Yuan?"

"I know, that's the most famous wine shop in West Market. Sir, sit still, let's go to West Market now, we have to hurry up."

The handlebar style said that he whipped his horsewhip, and started to gallop.

Jiang Li rolled in the car, his little head touched Chu Heng's waist, with his eyes closed, he reached out and grabbed his hand.

Chu Heng squeezed her chubby little hands, closed his eyes and took a nap.

They were lucky this time around.

It happened that we arrived at West Market just before the workshop closed.Seeing that there were still people coming at this time, the Fangzu muttered twice and put the carriage into the workshop.Just as he was about to turn his head to close the door, he suddenly heard a "thank you", looked up, and saw the delicate face behind the curtain of the car, the soldier was stunned, and the lock in his hand fell to his feet with a "dong".

Darling, when did such a beautiful person come to West City?

Jiangyuan is a restaurant.

In West Market, there are many foreigners from all over Fanbang.Dayan no matter which country these people come from, they are all classified as Hu people.

The West Market, in addition to selling the spices, treasures, and utensils brought by these Hu people from various countries, will also open various wine shops.Jiangyuan is not the largest in West Market, but the wine it brews is famous far and wide.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Jiangyuan, and there was a blond-haired bearded woman sweeping outside the gate, as if it was about to close the gate.

When the Hu girl heard the sound of the wheels, she turned her head and took a look. Seeing the stranger driving the car, she hurriedly put on a temperless smile, and the two dimples were deeply sunken: "The wine shop is closed today, why don't the guests come back tomorrow, the car is not far ahead. There is a mansion to live in..."

"Asuna!"

Before Hu Nu could speak softly, a little man suddenly jumped out of the carriage, dressed in a ridiculous attire, and even the bun on his head was hanging to one side.

The Hu girl who was called by her name was taken aback, and then reached out to catch the little lady who was about to jump off the carriage.

"Lili?"

Jiang Li is still young, and he still doesn't speak very fluently, even when Asuna hugs him, he just keeps giggling.

Asuna just thought it was a lady coming back, she raised her head and was about to shout, but she met the eyes of the young man who came out of the car, she was stunned for a moment.

"Asuna, Asuna." Jiang Li put his arms around Asuna's neck and yelled a few times. Seeing that people ignored him, he pouted and stretched out his hand to pinch her earlobe, "Asuna, this is out."

out?

Asuna was a little dazed, but the young man who got out of the car clasped his hands and explained, "I'm Xia Chuheng, entrusted by Mrs. Jiang, to send Lili back to Jiangyuan."

Asuna didn't understand how someone called out before.

Hearing Chu Heng's explanation now, he suddenly understood.After Lili taught herself to speak, her aunt taught Dayan's Mandarin, but Lili was a little young, and her articulate words were a little unclear, and she often made jokes.This "out" is clearly Chu Chu.

A gentleman is called Chuchu... Asuna sized up Chu Heng again, inexplicably feeling that the word "Chuchu" is both appropriate and sweet.

Knowing that Jiang Qiang hadn't returned to Yandu, Chu Heng handed the letter she left to Asuna.While reading the letter, the latter looked at Chu Heng from time to time, and finally looked at the sky, and said involuntarily: "It's getting late, sir, why don't you rest here. There is still a house in the backyard..."

"Isn't there a mansion not far ahead?" Chu Heng smiled, and reached out to touch Jiang Li's head, "Chu is going to live in the mansion, so I won't bother my lady."

"How can I let Mr. Lang go to the residence shop?" Asuna said.Jiang Li also stretched out his hand at this time, grabbed Chu Heng's fingers, and said in his mouth: "Get out, stay here. Get out."

There is accommodation in the backyard of the restaurant.After Asuna assured that they were not lonely or widowed, Chu Heng and his party moved in.

After a simple meal, Chu Heng went back to his room to sleep.Shao Aniu and the handlebar huddled together in the next room, the wall was very thin, and the snoring soon spread to Chu Heng.

After being exhausted by boat and car, he could eat hot soup and rice, and then lie down and sleep peacefully. For Chu Heng, who had been in the boat for a month and then in the carriage for a few days, it couldn't be more comfortable.

It's just that it's a strange place, and at night, he will inevitably open his eyes.

There was a sound of unlocking the door, and after a while, Asuna and a hoarse male voice were heard talking.

"She hasn't come back yet?"

"If you encounter some trouble, there is nothing you can do about it."

"What about Lili?"

"The lady sent her back, and she is already asleep at the moment."

The man seemed to have reached the door, Chu Heng turned over on the bed and closed his eyes.

"The person sleeping here is the person who sent Lili back?"

"He is a very good-looking gentleman."

"Let people go at dawn, don't let him find out."

Asuna said yes in a low voice, and couldn't help letting out a sigh at the end.

Before the first ray of sunlight entered Yandu in the early morning, the drums from Miyagi began to sound again in sequence.With one sound, the prosperity and noise of an imperial capital was shaken away.

Chu Heng came out of the house, and the Jiangyuan was still quiet.

In the yard, a hunched white-headed old man was sweeping with a broom. When he heard the door open, he looked back.

Chu Heng nodded slightly, and stretched his hands from afar.The old man saluted, coughed twice, and continued to sweep the yard where fallen leaves had accumulated overnight.

Asuna came over with a wooden tray, which contained their usual breakfast.

"Your Majesty, let's go after breakfast." Knowing that Chu Heng was just dropping by to send Lili home and came to Yandu for other important matters, Asuna didn't dare to keep him any longer, so she just whispered some of Yandu's Let me talk about the recent situation, "Every day in the East and West Market, the drums are beaten three hundred times at noon before the shops open. Before sunset, the doors are closed after three hundred gongs. If you go to Dongshi, you have to wait. If you go For other workshops, just take a carriage after going out."

Chu Heng sat down behind the food table, took a bite of breakfast, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Is there anything interesting going on in the city recently?"

Places like wine shops have always been a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and the news is flowing.

Jiang Qiang's injury and Asuna's conversation last night had already reminded Chu Heng of many things.His wish in this life is to live to the top, and to grow old in a down-to-earth way, and he really doesn't intend to get involved in too much right and wrong.

However, it might as well be that he borrowed Xia Jiangyuan to inquire about some news.

"Mr. Lang is referring to the fact that the guards next to Marquis Jingyuan were beaten until their legs were disabled, and they have been paralyzed on the bed. How many times have they begged for death?"

Before Asuna could answer, the white-headed old man spoke.

As soon as he spoke, Chu Heng's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the hoarse voice last night, he asked, "What else is there? Can the old man talk about it?"

Asuna said first: "Mr. Lang, this is sister's adoptive father. Old father, you go ahead and have a look. Asuna told Langjun about this."

The white-headed old man said nothing, only glanced at Asuna briefly, then turned and left from the backyard.

Asuna clenched her fist silently, with a smile on her face: "Mr. Lang, Asuna knows about this."

Asuna was a bearded girl Jiang Qiang bought in West Market when he was a teenager.Because of her poor background, she was lured to Yandu by someone, and she was originally going to be sold into a gold-selling den. It happened that Jiang Qiang wanted to buy a maidservant for herself, and when she saw Asuna, she immediately took her home.

These years, Asuna has been doing everything by Jiang Qiang's side.Asuna can do everything from the restaurant business to Lili's life.The girl who was originally a bit dull and could only speak nonsense gradually became what she is now, although when she speaks Dayan Mandarin, she is very slow for fear of making mistakes.

After Asuna finished talking about the beating and crippling of Marquis Jingyuan's guard, Chu Heng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "This matter...is really a good show."

Asuna blinked, feeling a little unclear.

Chu Heng smiled, and took the last bite of the mustache: "You said just now that the guards around Jing Yuanhou were hired by a businessman from Yangzhou to beat them, and they are already in prison?"

Asuna nodded.

Chu Heng: "That businessman is said to be named Chu?"

Asuna hesitated for a moment, and the way she looked at Chu Heng changed.

Chu Heng smiled wryly: "Chu, I came here precisely because of the fact that my elder brother was imprisoned in Yandu."
