Chapter 108: Traveling to Chang'an (2)
"To Chang'an? All right! Liu Erjo sat up from the bed at once, changed his decadent and sad look just now, and said excitedly: "Growing up so big, I have never been to Chang'an City?" I really want to open my eyes and see the prosperity of the national capital. ”
It's no wonder that Liu Ertiao is so excited, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most prosperous and lively place in the Tang Dynasty. There are countless celebrities and beauties, and there are countless talents. Moreover, it is the power center of Datang, with many high-ranking officials and many opportunities. Even people like Liu Yiyi, who can be regarded as having seen a big scene, want to see what this ancient civilization capital of more than 1,300 years ago looks like and how it is different from Xi'an 1,300 years later.
Liu Yiyi sat on the bed, changed into the boots that Liu He made for him, and said to Liu Ertiao: "There is still about half a month before spring ploughing, and I just have some leisure, well, let me think about it, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, well, the day after tomorrow, you will have a few days off with the private school, and take you to visit your teacher, Lord Shi Wang, the governor of Zhongzhou, for my brother." Well, if possible, we'll stay there for two more days so that you can listen to the teachings by your side. ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Liu Erjo happily gave a salute to Liu Yiyi, and then turned around and went out in a hurry, and said to Liu Yiyi: "I'll go and inform my father and mother, so that they can make preparations in advance." ”
Liu Yiyi looked at him burning, shook his head and smiled, looked up and down, and saw that his clothes were already dressed, so he also raised his heels and went out.
"One, I heard that the second one said that you want to take him to Chang'an City to visit the teacher? Is this true? Seeing Liu Yi come out, Lao Liu hurriedly asked.
"Oh," Ryuichi walked to the dining table, and saw that the whole family was there, and they were all looking at him with blank eyes. Liu Yiyi chuckled, sat down against the table and said, "Yes, the preparation is to leave in two days." The main thing is to visit Nijo's mentor Wang Changshi. This year, Nijo is going to start participating in the township test and the provincial test, and it is when someone needs to guide him, so I will visit it now, which will be very helpful for the future examination of Nijo. ”
"Uh-huh, that's as it should be, as it should be." Liu honestly nodded his head non-stop. Liu Erjo is the talent of their old Liu family, the only one who has a chance to fight for fame. Whether the Liu family can shine in the future or not, they all count on him. Therefore, anything that is beneficial to Liu Erjo's reading and fame, Lao Liu will generally support it with annoyance. Even if it would cost a lot of money.
Lao Liu also knows that Chang'an is the national capital, which is very good and prosperous.
But correspondingly, the consumption there is also very good and expensive. It's not something that ordinary people like them can afford. Liu Yiyi and they are gone, and I don't know how many pieces of silver will fly away from their hands.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow, isn't it a little rushed? If you don't delay it for two days, you and Nijo's new clothes will be ready soon. It's better to go in new clothes. You must know that Chang'an is the capital of the country, a big city, prosperous and luxurious, and your brothers will be looked down upon if they wear this outfit. "Liu He is worthy of being a good wife and mother, and he immediately took into account the clothing of his sons.
"Mother, it's okay." Liu Yiyi opened his mouth and said with relief: "The clothes we are wearing now are very good, although they are coarse cloth, but they are better than comfortable and warm. And it was made by my mother's own hands, and there is no better clothes than this. You don't have to care about other people's eyes and words. Superficial people like those who only pay attention to their appearance, do not deserve our attention. We can't change ourselves because of their opinions and preferences, so what difference are we from them? Besides, this spring ploughing is approaching, and we don't have much time to delay, this new clothes, I'm afraid we can't wait. Let's wait until the day I get married. ”
"That..."Liu Nijo just wanted to say something like that, but Liu Yijo stared at him, and then he held back again, and finally just whispered: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true!" You don't have to wear these new clothes. ”
"Hehe, if you can think like this, my mother will be relieved." Ryu laughed happily. The eldest son's words just now made her listen to it very heartwarming, and bursts of warmth in her heart were wandering back and forth. The sons have really grown up and are sensible.
"Since you are going this time, don't be in such a hurry to come back, stay with Lord Wang for as many days as possible, don't worry about things at home, just leave it to me." I'll take care of those wastelands. Most of those tenant farmers are honest heads of households, and with Brother Li helping to take care of them, there will be no chaos. Lao Liu also explained on the side, "Remember to bring more gifts to Mr. Ren when you go, don't be afraid to spend money, so that Mr. VIP can feel our sincerity." ”
"I know this, Dad, you can rest assured." Liu Yiyi was afraid that they would still be entangled on this topic, and the chatter was endless, so he took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, pointed to the food on the table and said, "Dad, mother, let's eat first, otherwise the food will be tasteless when it is cold." As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of moderately fat and thin pork belly for Liu Xiaohui, put it in her bowl, and said distressedly: "You see, Xiaohui is hungry." ”
"Thank you, big brother!" Liu Xiaohui happily picked up the pork belly into her little mouth, and then thanked Liu Yiyi vaguely while chewing. Liu Yiyi didn't hear their conversation just now, Liu Xiaohui and Ben didn't hear it, from the moment the food was placed on the table, Liu Xiaohui's big watery eyes were only left with dishes and food full of dishes.
"Hehe," Liu Yi touched Liu Xiaohui's hair dotingly, and said, "Our Xiaohui is so good!" Come on, big brother will clip another piece for you! ”
Seeing that Liu Xiaohui was eating sweetly, Liu Laoshi and Liu He also looked at each other and smiled, and moved the chopsticks.
At night, on the bed of Liu Yiyi, Liu Ertiao turned and turned, and turned over and over, one to the east, one to the west, without a moment, just couldn't sleep. Disturbing Liu Ichijo, I can't calm down, I don't know what the hell Liu Ichijo is doing.
"Big brother," finally Yanagi sat up and whispered to Yanagichi. Seeing that Liu Yiyi hadn't fallen asleep yet, he leaned down on Liu Yiyi's pillow and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, have you ever been to Chang'an?" I don't know what this Chang'an City is like? ”
Oh, it turned out that this was the case, and Liu Yichi suddenly understood. People who go out for the first time will always feel a little unsteady in their hearts. Liu Erjo is only fifteen years old after all, and it is normal for a half-grown child to behave like this. Liu Yiyi turned over, faced Liu Ertiao, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, although I haven't been to Chang'an City, most of the cities have similarities." For example, the city wall, the market, the street, and the crowd are all the same. You can think of it as a larger county seat of Sanyuan. ”
"Huh?!" When Liu Erjo heard this, a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but flow on his forehead, the bigger Mihara County? This one... What the eldest brother said is really different.
