Prince of Tang Dynasty

Changsun's mansion is not far from the imperial city, just near the imperial city.In addition to Changsun's mansion near the imperial palace, there are Cheng Yaojin's mansion, Fang Xuanling's mansion, Du Ruhui's mansion and other honorable officials or aristocratic families.

The Changsun Mansion is the empress's natal family, so it is naturally the closest to the imperial city.

After leaving the palace, it only takes two quarters of an hour by carriage to arrive at the Changsun Mansion.

The surrounding area of ​​the imperial city is full of residences of dignitaries or aristocratic families, so this area is very beautiful and tidy.Of course, there are no restaurants or markets in this area.

People living in this area are all high-ranking and powerful people, and ordinary people usually don't come here.

The lively and bustling streets are on the outskirts of this area, and you can see the bustling Chang'an City when you step out of this area.

There is nothing to see in this area, Li Yu and the others sat obediently in the carriage, and did not lie down in front of the window to look around curiously.

Li Yu and the others were discussing where to go, what to eat, and what to buy in the next few days.

"How about this, let's go for an outing outside Chang'an City to fly a kite this afternoon, and then have dinner at Zuixianju in Chang'an City, what do you think?"

Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang didn't have any objections and nodded in agreement with Li Yu's arrangement.

"After dinner, we'll go to the teahouse to listen to music and books." If he wasn't young, he really wanted to go to the brothel.Of course, he didn't go to the brothel for women's tickets, but wanted to see what the ancient brothels looked like.

"I like listening to books the most." Princess Jinyang likes to listen to those interesting and amusing stories told by Mr. Shu.

"Tomorrow, let's go to the West Market first." There are four cities in Chang'an City: East, West, South, and North. Among them, the East and West are very lively and prosperous, somewhat similar to commercial streets or pedestrian streets in later generations. "I heard that there are a lot of interesting shops in the West Market. Let's go and have a look. Maybe we can buy some strange and interesting things." In addition to the many barbarians in the West Market of Chang'an City, there are many people from other countries. people.

In fact, in addition to the two cities of East and West, there are also two cities of North and South.However, compared to the bustling East and West cities, the North and South cities are much worse.

Among the two cities in the north and the south, the north city is the most mixed. There are all kinds of people here, and it is also a place where people from all walks of life gather.

As far as Nanshi is concerned, it is basically ordinary people who live there, and most of them come from all corners of the country, just like people from other parts of the country who went to Beijing to work in later generations.

In recent years, Datang has been in good weather, coupled with a series of recuperation policies promulgated by Li Shimin, which has gradually made Datang rich.According to statistics, there are more than 100 million people in Chang'an City at present.

Li Yu came to Datang for a year, and the number of times he went out of the palace was pitiful. So far, he has only been to the east and west cities, and he has never been to the north and south cities.However, even if he wants to go to the northern and southern cities now, it is estimated that Changsun Wuji will not agree.Compared with the east and west cities, the north and south cities are much more chaotic, and the security is naturally not as good as that of the east and west cities.

He thought that after a few years, he would be able to go to the northern and southern cities.Now, let's talk about it after he finished shopping in the East and West cities.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Yu and his group arrived at the Changsun Mansion.

Before Changsun Wuji left the palace, he sent someone back to inform him.

Although the Changsun Mansion is the empress's mother's family, from the outside, the Changsun Mansion is very ordinary, not as flamboyant as those aristocratic families.

Mrs. Changsun brought a group of children to welcome Li Yu and the others, and saluted them.

"Auntie, we are a family, so don't be so polite." Li Yu's words made Changsun Wuji and the others happy.

Changsun Wuji asked everyone to go to the lobby first and not to stand at the door and talk.

Since Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun had no parents since they were young, there are no old people in the entire Changsun Mansion.

Mrs. Changsun took Li Yu and the others by the hand, and looked at the three of them carefully, especially Li Yu.

"His Royal Highness King Rui's complexion and spirit are getting better and better."

Although Li Yu asked Madam Changsun to call him "Little Yuer", Madam Changsun never called him, and always called him "His Royal Highness King Rui".

Li Yu patted his not very strong chest, and said with a small face proudly: "Auntie, I am very strong now. Mingda was sick a few days ago, but I am not sick at all."

"That's really great. The emperor and empress can finally rest assured." King Rui was born weak and sickly, and almost couldn't make it through several times. He almost passed away last year. Fortunately, His Highness Rui survived.Now, seeing His Royal Highness King Rui's body is so healthy, as an aunt, she feels very at ease.

"Princess, let me take a look." Mrs. Changsun pulled Princess Jinyang to her face again, and looked at her carefully. Seeing that Princess Jinyang's complexion was ruddy and she didn't look sick, she immediately felt relieved.

Then she pulled Li Zhi in front of her and looked at her carefully. She was very happy to see that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was also very healthy.

After greeting Mrs. Changsun, Li Yu and the others greeted their cousins.

The eldest grandson Wuji also has a group of sons and daughters, but those who can come to see Li Yu and the others are naturally the legitimate sons and daughters.

After greeting his cousins, Li Yu and the others went to their room first.

Li Yu shared a room with Li Zhi, while Princess Jinyang shared a room with the eldest grandson Meisheng.

The Changsun Mansion is very large, although it is not as magnificent as those aristocratic families, but it is also chic and elegant.

The boys lived in one yard and the daughters in another.

After resting for a while, Li Yu and Li Zhi played with a few cousins ​​in the yard.

Changsun Wuji has several sons, the eldest son is about the same age as Prince Li Chengqian.Changsun Chong, the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, married Princess Changle three years ago.Today, Changsun Chong and Princess Changle are not in the mansion, but went out for an outing.

If Princess Changle knew that Li Yu and the others were going to visit the mansion today, she would definitely not go out for an outing.

Among Changsun Wuji's several sons, only four of them were about the same age as Li Yu and the others.

Sun Jing, the seventh elder, is 11 years old this year, three years older than Li Zhi.The eighth eldest grandson Xu is ten years old this year.Sun Zhan, the ninth elder, is the same age as Li Zhi, and he is eight years old this year. He is also Li Zhi's companion.The tenth elder, Sun Ze, is seven years old this year, one year older than Li Yu.If Li Yu is the brat of the old Li family, then Changsun Ze is the brat of the grandson family.

The two brats hit it off when they met for the first time last year. To be precise, they like each other and have become good brothers.

The six got together and discussed where to go for an outing in the afternoon and fly a kite.

Changsun Jing proposed to go to the western suburbs of Chang'an, where there is a peach forest, which is not only beautiful, but also lively.There is also a temple on the mountain of Taolin. Every year, many people go to this temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.If they are tired from playing in Taolin, they can go to the temple on the mountain to sit and rest.

Furthermore, their eldest brother and sister-in-law went to Taolin in the western suburbs for an outing early this morning.In the afternoon, if they go there, they might be able to meet up with Big Brother and the others.

"Okay, then go to the Taolin in the western suburbs." Li Yuxin thought that going out for an outing is just to join in the fun, so there are more people.

Changsun Ze asked, "What shall we take this afternoon?"

Changsun Xu said, "Of course, bring more food."

Li Yu suddenly thought of a good idea, "Then let's go camping by the way."

"Camping?" Zhang Sunjing and the others heard this word for the first time, and looked at Li Yu in bewilderment.

"No, we don't have a tent." Li Yu thought that after returning to the palace, he would ask the craftsmen to make the tent, so that he could go camping next time. "We'll just bring some snacks and tea, and nothing else."

"Okay, listen to you."

"Unfortunately, the big kite I asked Lu Erli to make was not made, otherwise I would take you to fly." During this period of time, Lu Erli made the big kite for carrying people according to his design, but But it can't fly, it can only be modified.

"Big kite?" Li Yu's words aroused Changsun Jing's curiosity.

At this time, Li Zhi took the opportunity to show off to his cousins ​​the big kite his brother made to fly people, "Xiao Yu'er said that we can fly when it is finished."

When they heard that they could fly in the sky, Changsun Jing and the others became excited: "Xiao Yu'er, when will you be able to make this big kite?"

"I don't know, Lu Erli is modifying it. However, it will be ready after a while, and I will ask you to fly together."

"Yeah."

"Little Yu'er, you are so amazing, you can even make a kite that can fly people."

The topic of the cousins ​​naturally shifted to the kite.In spring, if you go outing, you basically fly a kite.

Speaking of kites, Changsun Jing finally remembered something, "By the way, I heard that Zuixianju paid for the kite competition."

"Kite meeting?"

"Compare to whose kite is higher and whose kite is the best looking." Zhang Sun Jing said, "I heard that the first prize is 100 taels of silver."

"100 taels of silver, Zuixianju is really a big deal." Li Yu pinched his chin and said, "It seems that Zuixianju has made a lot of money in the past few years." Speaking of which, he had thought about opening a hotel, he thought Bring over the business model of later generations of hotels.Not only a hotel, but he also wants to open that kind of high-end club with a membership system.In Chang'an City now, there is no shortage of rich people, especially those from aristocratic families.

The aristocratic families in Chang'an City are not only rich, but also powerful. Even Comrade Li dare not touch them at will.These aristocratic families are not good things, and they often pissed Comrade Li half to death.Li Yu thought that each of these aristocratic families is very rich, so it is better to make money from them. The purpose of opening high-end clubs is to exploit the money of these aristocratic families.However, he is too young now and has no money, so he cannot open a store for the time being.

Changsun Jing asked: "Little Yu'er, will you participate?"

"When will this kite competition be held? Is registration now open?"

"I didn't inquire about this, I will send someone to inquire now." Changsun Jing called a servant and asked him to inquire about the kite competition held in Zuixianju.

"The kite competition held by Zuixianju must be attended by ordinary people, and it doesn't mean much if we win." Changsun Xu said, "If it is a kite competition held by an aristocratic family, we can participate in it then, and then kill it their spirit."

In Chang'an City, honorable and meritorious officials looked down on the family, and the family also looked down on them.Many children of aristocratic families look down on the children of noble and heroic officials, and the relationship between the two parties is hostile.

"The guys from the family are so arrogant, how could they hold a kite competition."

"Aren't they going to hold a polo match?"

"The polo game is nice, but we can't miss it."

"Little Yu'er, there is no need to participate in this kite competition, but we can join in the fun and have a look."

Li Yu felt that Changsun Xu's words made sense, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Then we won't participate, and we'll go and see the excitement."

Wait, they can't participate in polo games, but he can play other games, such as cuju games that are suitable for all ages and fun for the people.
