Crossing the Datang Restaurant

After the New Year's Eve, Rong Yushu and Tang Guang set off for Chang'an.

It is less than a day's journey from Xixiang County, and most of them are official roads, even if you gallop on it, there is nothing wrong with it. Although the weather here is cold, there is still snow that has not yet melted, but it is about this time. After the Chinese New Year, people started to walk back. There was an endless stream of carriages and horses on the road. On the huge official road, there were only sporadic snowflakes, which formed a strong contrast with the snow clusters accumulated on both sides of the road.

There are still about three months before the exam, so when Tang Guang asked Rong Yushu where he lived in Chang'an, Rong Yushu replied without hesitation: "Of course I found a house and stayed here. "

Tang Guang was silent for a while, and continued to ask: "Of course I know, I just asked if you are familiar with Chang'an City? Do you know where the housing prices are the cheapest, and where is the closest to the market?"

A series of questions made Rong Yushu speechless, he looked at Brother Ming and said, "I don't know."

Tang Guang's expression suddenly became a little more comfortable. He straightened his feet in the carriage, with a vague smile on his lips, and said, "Of course you don't know. Generally speaking, the closer you are to the imperial city, the more you are offside." The high-ranking people said that the places where you live, generally speaking, you can't live in those places, but the place not far from the West Market, in the Chongxianfang District, is a good choice. It is close to the West Market. It's convenient to buy anything, and it's relatively close there, mostly residents live there. It's also convenient if you want to rent a house. There are also scholars who often have to rush for exams to live there. It's quiet, and the traffic is also convenient , if you go now, it can't be better."

Rong Yushu's eyes lit up, like stars in his pair of eyes, he took Tang Guang's arm and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang."

Tang Guang sneered, ignored him, closed his eyes, and rested his mind, thinking of something else.

The carriage was swaying, and the speed was not weak. When it was about to reach Chang'an, Tang Guang suddenly said, "But it's getting late tonight, where do you sleep?"

Rong Yushu looked at the sun in the sky, it was indeed gradually moving to the west, and the surrounding clouds seemed to have a layer of golden light, and the color of the whole surrounding gradually faded.

Rong Yushu himself was not sure, and said: "There should be quite a few inns next to the post station. Then we will stay for one night and make plans tomorrow morning."

Hearing what he said, Tang Guang sighed and said, "I knew I shouldn't ask you." He opened the curtain and said to the people outside, "Drive the car to Dali Temple in Yiningfang."

Hearing the answer from the coachman outside, Rong Yushu's eyes widened, Ah Fu tilted his head, and with a simple and honest face, he asked, "Master, are we staying in Dali Temple tonight?"

Tang Guang said indifferently: "Officials and yamen servants who have not married and established a business have special places to live, which can be used as a temporary place to live or a place to rest. Some brothers have rooms. At this time, they I guess I haven't come back yet, so you can make do with it in the evening."

Rong Yushu wowed, thinking that the welfare of public officials in ancient times is quite good, and there are public dormitories?But what happens when you get married?Can you still live there?

Tang Guang gave him a strange look, and said: "Since you can start a family and start a business, of course you don't need to live in Dali Temple. Although you can let your family members stay in for a day or two if there is an emergency, it will be inconvenient if it takes a long time. , when the family members go in and out, they need to ask the gatekeeper for a pass."

Oh, Rong Yushu said that he understood, so there is still such a complicated thing.

Gradually they arrived at Chang'an City, they were lucky, there was an hour and a half before the city gate was closed, and Rong Yushu was able to see what Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty looked like.

From the appearance, the lush white snow scene around the city wall, it can be imagined that if spring comes, there should be a lush green scene here, and the outer city wall is not long apart. There is a moat, a wide moat On the road, there is only a wide suspension bridge connecting the two sides of each other.

On the blue-gray city wall, watchtowers are built at intervals. They are not high, about two floors, and the city wall with a height of about five feet is like a giant, enclosing the entire Chang'an city airtightly. It is heavily guarded.

On the city wall that can't be seen at a glance, there are thin white snow clusters scattered, but the moat, although the weather is so cold, there is a faint heat radiating, which surprised Rong Yushu a little.

But the imagination is also the same. The function of the moat itself is to resist the enemy. If it freezes, what effect will it have?

On the majestic city wall, a majestic and majestic momentum rushes forward. Chang'an, with the domineering and majestic grandeur of the royal family, has a strong sense of shock to everyone who comes. There are watchtowers and city walls about ten feet away. You can vaguely see soldiers in armor walking back and forth with a long gun. At this time, there are still soldiers checking your ID in front of Chang'an City. They are meticulous and more rigorous and solemn than Luoyang. .

When they got to the city gate, they were stopped by soldiers. Everyone needed to come down for inspection, but Tang Guang lifted the curtain and said no.

The soldiers outside were stunned for a moment when they saw Tang Guang, and immediately saluted, saying respectfully and somewhat panickedly: "Tang Shaoqing."

Tang Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and his whole body displayed an aura of calmness and self-confidence. His voice was cold, which was quite commensurate with the cold wind in the icy world. His pupils were like lacquer, and when he spoke, the voice It almost made Rong Yushu shudder.

"I'm coming back to work today, and I'd like to ask some people to accommodate me. Some of them are my servants and friends. They came here together. The inspection of official documents can be avoided."

The soldier hurriedly muttered: "Of course, of course, Tang Shaoqing, please."

As he spoke, he asked the people in front to get out of the way, and with a sound of "barrel", the horse in front gradually moved, and continued to walk forward.

Rong Yushu muttered that power is different, and he opened the window to have a panoramic view of Chang'an city.

The streets are straight, but there are not so many twists and turns. The white stone ground under the road is very flat, and of course it is very wide. If eight horse-drawn carriages go side by side, there will be no problem, and there will be extra space for the public to watch.

The shops around Chang'an are also well-built, especially the shops on both sides of the avenue. They are all magnificent and simple and rigorous in style, but they are not as ostentatious as Luoyang.

If Luoyang is as gorgeous as a peacock, Chang'an City is like a phoenix, dignified and majestic.

The carriage gradually drove for a while, and the surrounding scenery was still the same as before, except that some plum blossoms were planted on the surrounding street trees, and the winter plums were slowly emitting fragrance, which seemed to be there but could be heard everywhere, and finally dyed the place with some color now.

There are a lot of shops in the surrounding area. Here, you enter a wide road and gradually drive to a place like a house. There are three characters "Dali Temple" written on it. There is an open space in front of the door, and the white is turning blue. The ground seems to add solemnity to this place, and the stone lions in front of the door are even more murderous and vicious, which adds a bit of chill to this place for no reason.

Like a bumpkin who has never seen the world before, Rong Yushu let out a wow, then turned around and asked, "Should we just walk in from the front? Could it be too ostentatious?"

When Tang Guang heard this, his face was covered with black lines, and he said, "How is it possible, this is the backyard."

Rong Yushu admired it even more, even the backyard is so mighty and domineering, it really is Dali Temple.

Rong Yushu jumped down, and there were large and small bags inside. The vermilion lacquer door was closed tightly. Tang Guang walked to the door and knocked hard. When the man saw him, he was a little surprised, and opened the door with surprise, and said, "Tang Shaoqing, you are back."

Rong Yushu jumped down, looking like he wanted to come up but didn't want to come up, but the clerk at the back was a little surprised when he saw him, his eyes were swollen, looking at Tang Guang's appearance, it seemed that he had accumulated power for a long time, Nuonuo's Asked: "This is?"

Tang Guang glanced at him, and replied, "This is a friend of mine, staying overnight tonight."

Rong Yushu smiled like a spring flower, with a warm smile, and the pretense mode was on.

"Friend...friend!!" The voice of Xiao Yachai became a little distorted, as if he couldn't believe it, but seeing Tang Guang's expression was wrong, he smiled, feeling a little guilty, and immediately came down to help Rong Yushu The two people behind took things and said: "I'll come, I'll come, please come inside." Looking at that appearance, they looked like waiters in an inn.

Seeing the eager and diligent look of the Yachai, it was not easy to interrupt him, let him take it in, and walked into the backyard of Dali Temple together.

The backyard and front yard of Dali Temple are actually separated. The front yard is specially used for handling cases and is heavily guarded. There is also an independent prison in charge of guarding. It is called the backyard, but it is actually an independent yard. The atmosphere inside is harmonious , plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, flowers and trees, fish in the pond, everything is there.

However, although they are separated, if you want to go in and out, besides you have someone here, you also need to record the number of people in and out, but these are all imaginary, just established rules. Not really.

There are many rooms built in the backyard here, and there is also an independent small courtyard, which is specially prepared for those high-ranking officials. The room that Rong Yushu went to was the room brought by the Tang Guang Duyuan. Some people passed by, seeing Rong Yushu was a little curious, looking up and down without concealment.

Along the way, they were almost scrutinized by such gazes. From the moment of uneasiness at the beginning to the calmness at the end, the Yacha, who was wearing a brown, black and dark official uniform, looked at them with some curiosity.

A person came up to greet Tang Guang, and when he saw Rong Yushu, his face with a mustache was stunned, and he said, "Mr. Rong?"

Rong Yushu stared straight at him. The visitor was dressed in an ordinary dark brown dress, with a gray fluffy neck and a scruffy beard. Although his eyes were a bit dark, he still couldn't hide his handsomeness. Yu Shu looked at the shape like a chrysanthemum mouse.

"Zou Gan?" This person is very familiar, not only met in the time of gunpowder, but also in the Yangzhou brothel behind, the two of them are very familiar.

Zou Gan's eyes seemed to be scanning Rong Yushu up and down, with a sense of censorship. The latter laughed dryly, and there was a hint of teasing in Zou Gan's eyes. Gan suppressed his smile, seeing that Tang Guang was now in the stage of explosion, and resigned very smartly.

But after he passed by, a group of servants around hurriedly pulled him over and asked, one of them was young, who looked like a newcomer Xiao Lengqing, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Zou, who is that man?"

Zou Gan's eyes were twitchy, idiot, he hasn't gone far, didn't you see Tang Guang glaring at him just now?Zou Gan was a little impatient, and made a more aggressive look, urging the group of little bastards quietly, and the idiots would cause him trouble.

"Walk around, join in the fun, that person is Tang Shaoqing's friend, don't you guys often bring your old mother and your relatives in, why do you care so much!" After Zou Gan finished speaking, he dispersed the people around, and the two It's true that I didn't go very far, Rong Yushu was still listening, and turned around and smiled at him.

Phew, Zou Gan heaved a sigh of relief, these people are really terrifying.
