Surprise at three quarters

Of course it is very easy to inquire about Dongfang Shuo's residence.

But Yuan Xiao didn't do that, but took the money bag and went to find a place to live first.

Zhuo Wenjun followed her, and did not continue to hide his figure.This made Yuan Xiao feel an inexplicable joy in his heart, and felt that coming here for a while was also a different kind of vacation.

She doesn't have to worry about things at A-Jiao's place for the time being, she can completely control her time, and she can also relax before getting down to business.

The streets of the Han Dynasty were actually not as prosperous as imagined, at least they were incomparable with the cities Yuan Xiao was familiar with.The house will look shorter and cramped, and the color tone will be darker, not so bright and bright.

After all, this was an era when class distinctions were very strict, and ordinary people could not wear brightly colored clothes.

So when walking on the street, most people are wearing coarse cloth such as hemp and kudzu, and they are still of light yellow or dark primary color.

But the breath of life in the city is fascinating.

In fact, in this environment, Yuan Xiao himself and Zhuo Wenjun are also very eye-catching.

The brightly colored dress on Yuan Xiao's body was fine, after all, I could occasionally see people wearing it like this.But Zhuo Wenjun's multicolored silk clothes, shoes, hair crowns, etc. are not ordinary at first glance, and they have a sense of transcendence.In addition, her own appearance is very outstanding, which is even more eye-catching.

But Yuan Xiao only looked at the surrounding things with great interest, and didn't realize that he had also become the focus of others' eyes.

Zhuo Wenjun walked aside, looking at her helplessly.But thinking that Yuan Xiao would only stay here for a short period of time, he didn't say much.Anyway, these people just look at it and don't do anything.After all, this is Chang'an where the rich and powerful walk everywhere, and no one would dare to make a decision before they figured out the identities of the two.

Although the environment is not eye-catching, the various shops and juggling on the street are very eye-catching.

In the middle, many people were also seen gathering together to gamble.In this era, gambling seems to be still legal, so many people stood by and watched.

But what Yuan Xiao cares about the most are those knight-errants wandering the streets with swords on their hands.From time to time, they can be seen yelling, gathering three or five people, and going to the wine shop to meet.When ordinary people see such people, they will definitely shy away from them, and will never confront them head-on.

It is said that the atmosphere of martial arts in the Han Dynasty was very strong, and now I have seen it with my own eyes.

As he was walking, Yuan Xiao felt something strange around him, and turned around, only to realize that it was Zhuo Wenjun who hadn't followed.She was standing not far behind, stopping to look in a certain direction.

Yuan Xiao quickly turned back and asked her, "What are you looking at?"

While asking, he glanced in that direction.It was the largest wine shop on this street, and there were many guests inside, it looked very lively.There are also gambling games in the store, as well as singing and dancing to entertain people.

Yuan Xiao immediately noticed the person Zhuo Wenjun was looking at. It was a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard, a wide robe and wide sleeves, and wooden clogs.Toasting a drink with the person opposite.And beside him, sat two beauties, one playing the pipa and the other pouring wine.

Although he had never met this person before, Yuan Xiao guessed his identity immediately.

Sima Xiangru.

She subconsciously raised her hand to touch Wen Jun, trying to get her attention back.But the hand passed through her shoulder, unable to touch each other.

Fortunately, Zhuo Wenjun seemed to be aware of her existence and turned his head.

Seeing that the expression on her face didn't change, Yuan Xiao was slightly relieved and asked, "Is it him?"

Zhuo Wenjun nodded, and said in a slightly sighing tone, "It's been a long time since I saw this person, but now I look at this person, but I feel very strange." It seems that it is not what she remembered at all.

"People will always change." Yuan Xiao said, "Even if he hasn't changed, but your mood has changed, he won't be the same as before."

"That's right." Zhuo Wenjun turned around and said, "Let's go."

The two walked along the street for a while before Yuan Xiao said, "I

I thought you'd want to know how he was doing. "

In fact, she wanted to ask Zhuo Wenjun if he needed to take revenge on Sima Xiangru, just like those women she brought back.But I don't know why I said this, so I didn't ask it out.Perhaps it was because Zhuo Wenjun's attitude towards this kind of thing was different from others from the very beginning.

She doesn't need external force to fulfill her wish.

Since everything that should be done has already been done, there is no need to have anything to do with this person right now.

After walking for a while, the two finally found Yashi, and Yuan Xiao stepped forward to ask if there were any houses available for rent.

At this time, Zhuo Wenjun asked, "Didn't you say you want to find Dongfang Shuo?"

Yuan Xiao leaned over and explained, "I don't think you can go to him rashly. After all, you are what you are now, thanks to him. Before you know whether he is an enemy or a friend, rashly appear in front of him, in case he has no good intentions. what to do?"

Of course, this is just Yuan Xiao's prevarication. No matter whether Dongfang Shuo is an enemy or a friend, as long as Yuan Xiao wants to help Zhuo Wenjun, there is only one choice before him.

It's just that under this uncertainty, Yuan Xiao still wants to delay for a few days.

Of course there are houses. Although there is a shortage of housing in Chang'an, there are always some vacant houses that cannot find suitable owners who can afford the price.With Gillian as the benefactor, Yuan Xiao didn't have to worry about the price, and finally chose a yard not far from the palace.

The entire Chang'an City has a square shape, and is divided into Lifang by vertical and horizontal streets.

From a rough point of view, the residences of the powerful and the common people are not in the same place.But the actual division is not so careful and strict.

For example, where Yuan Xiao rented a house, there lived a high-ranking official.Except for his house, the people living in other places are ordinary people.However, the mansions of officials occupy one-eighth of the square, and the other houses are densely arranged in the square.

There were strict regulations on houses in the Han Dynasty. Ordinary people could only build a yard with three rooms.But in fact, this courtyard is quite spacious, with side rooms built on both sides, and a row of houses added to the backyard, but it is not in the name of the main house, but various names are installed.

In addition, there is a large vegetable field, but the field is currently empty, and only a row of fruit trees are planted near the wall.

So under the strong suggestion of Yaxing, Yuan Xiao hired several helpers, and finally settled down.

In the next few days, Yuan Xiao visited other places in Chang'an City, and had a preliminary idea of ​​the city, and also knew the addresses of many familiar historical figures.

It's a pity that she can only look at the door, and it is impossible to enter it.

After several days of delay, she started to look for Dongfang Shuo.

The other party's address is naturally easy to get, and Gillian has it there.But it's not so easy to meet in person.After all, he used a car to get in and out, and there were guards beside the car, so he couldn't get close easily.

Yuan Xiao originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but unexpectedly, she just appeared near Dongfang Shuo's house for the first time, just in time to meet him coming back from the palace.

What was even more amazing was that his car stopped in front of Yuan Xiao, and the driver asked Yuan Xiao to talk to him at home.

Yuan Xiao guessed that he might already know something.Although she deliberately didn't let Wenjun show up today, Dongfang Shuo is a magic stick after all, with unpredictable abilities.Besides, Zhuo Wenjun's affairs are in his hands. If the book reappears in this world, maybe he will feel it.

So Yuan Xiao simply nodded in agreement, and followed the car into the door.

In Yuan Xiao's imagination, Dongfang Shuo should be an image similar to the Sima Xiangru he had seen before, with a long wise beard, a refined face, and a dignified temperament.But in fact, he looked rather young, not only beardless, but also completely featureless.

If he hadn't seen it here, or passed by on the street, Yuan Xiao might not have noticed his existence.But as long as you notice it, you will feel that this person is very weird, and you will never ignore him.

This contradictory temperament made Yuan Xiao unable to bear to observe.

Dongfang Shuo didn't seem to notice her gaze, and when he entered the room, he said bluntly, "Young lady, why don't you invite your old friend out to meet me?"

"That depends on whether she wants to see you." Yuan Xiao took out the book from his bag.

Zhuo Wenjun had no intention of avoiding it, and soon appeared, bowing to Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes fell on her, with a very strange expression on his face, as if he was observing something, nodding and shaking his head for a while, looking very emotional.

"I also did it casually that day, and I didn't want to have such a fate." Finally, he smiled and clapped his hands, "Wonderful, fate, cause and effect are really unpredictable."

Yuan Xiao couldn't help frowning, "Do you know what kind of results you will bring if you do it casually?"

From a historical point of view, Dongfang Shuo is also a character who is both good and evil, and it is difficult to determine accurately.But this way of casually playing with other people's lives still made Yuan Xiao very contemptuous.As much as a person's ability is, he should bear as much responsibility, instead of acting recklessly.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head with a smile, "Everything is decided, but it's all through my hands. Although I did it casually that day, it is actually destined for today. I don't know if Mrs. Zhuo has already answered my question?"

"Men in the world are so lucky." Zhuo Wenjun said, "From ancient times to the present, it has always been like this. But I don't think that because of this, I can forgive him."

"Idiot." Dongfang Shuo sighed, "The word love is as ethereal as fate. It comes and goes, why force it?"

This is the first time Yuan Xiao has heard of such a scumbag theory.

However, the positions of each other are different, and there is no need to discuss it, because it is impossible to persuade the other party.So she directly skipped the topic and asked, "Mr. Dongfang, since your bet is over, it's time for Wen Jun to come out of this book, right?"

"It should be like this," Dongfang Shuo said, "it's just that this matter is beyond my control, and I'm afraid I will disappoint the two of you."
