Before dawn, Xia Hongsheng got up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The merchants at the Jingyang Market have already set up their stalls and are making preparations as usual to cope with the lively and busy morning market.

Xia Hongsheng stood alone at the entrance of Jingyang Collection, looking up at the distance, as if waiting for someone to appear.

The businessman who was closer felt familiar with this figure, because it was not very bright, so he couldn't see it really, and he felt like Childe, but he felt that Childe couldn't get up so early.

Someone went over to see it.

He was carrying a horse lantern, which was now widely used. Because of kerosene, people found that kerosene lamps were much brighter than those lamps that burned animal fat or vegetable grease in the past, and Xia Hongsheng intended to promote it, so the gasoline made when distilling oil was handed over to the state, and the kerosene was sold at a low price, and kerosene lamps were widely used. Among the kerosene lamps, horse lamps are the most widely used. Because there is a glass cover, it is windproof and waterproof, and it is easy to hang up, and it has now become the standard configuration for people going out around Chang'an. In other places, this thing is gradually spreading along with the post roads and passers-by.

"What a childe!" The man who came to see the lantern walked closer and saw Xia Hongsheng's face clearly, so he shouted: "Oh, Childe, it's still cold this day, it's not too cold for you to stand here so early?" There is a coal fire in the stove here, come and warm up! ”

"It's not cold, it's April!" Xia Hongsheng waved his hand at the old man with a smile and said, "I'll wait for someone here, and my husband will go and work by himself!" Immediately as soon as the sky dawned, there were more people. ”

The old man saw that Xia Hongsheng couldn't go over to roast the fire, so he turned around, raised his hand and greeted his stall, and gestured a few times.

Immediately, a woman hurried over, holding a bowl of soup in one hand and a stack of egg cakes in the other.

"Son, eat something! So early, I think that the son is waiting for someone on an empty stomach! The old man said, and the old woman was carrying something, and a boy followed the old woman, and a small square table and a small horse were set out in a hurry.

Xia Hongsheng took the thing, put it on the table, touched the child's head, thanked him, and then said to the old man: "It's not okay this morning, it's not that I don't want to eat, it's really important to wait for the person, if he doesn't come, I don't dare to eat!" You put your things over first, and I'll take him to your place for breakfast later—you can keep it clean, and don't make a fool of yourself with us when the time comes." ”

"Big shots?" The old man looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise: "Even the son has to wait for him to arrive before he can eat?!" ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" The old man assured Xia Hongsheng very seriously and solemnly, and then said: "The old man follows the rules set by this son, and the ordinary things are cleaned up!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and was just about to speak, when a person appeared next to him, and his hand reached in front of Xia Hongsheng's face, and he also held a plate in his hand, which contained a few meaty buns that were the size of Xia Hongsheng's face, and said to Xia Hongsheng in a daze: "My father asked me to give this to my son, saying that my son was standing here hungry!" ”

"Brother Da Song, the son said that he would wait for someone, and he can't eat anything now!" The young boy said to the man with a milky voice, tilting his head in a milky voice.

This person's name is Liu Dasong, he is burly, but his brain is a little bad, a little mild Down syndrome, and a little silly.

"The soup is hot, the cake is also hot, sit down and eat for a while, take a few bites of this bun and gnaw it, Gongzi will secretly gnaw a few buns to suppress hunger, and the nobles who are waiting for it will not be able to see it." An old man ran over and said, it was the grandfather of Liu Dasong. After speaking, he added: "The old man fanned him several times, and the bun is no longer hot now." ”

Xia Hongsheng saw that he was eager, and felt that it was difficult to be warm, and he was indeed hungry in his stomach, the soup and cakes were hot, and he drank slowly, and a few mouthfuls of steamed buns were poured quickly. So he took out a few pennies and put them on the plate, and while putting them down, he said: "It's okay, I'm hungry, I will secretly eat a bun and press it first, and then I will go to drink soup when the people arrive." ”

"No, no, no, Gongzi doesn't have a shelf for us people, if our entire Zhuangzi hadn't met a master like Gongzi, where would we have a good life today. We have to remember the goodness of the son, and if we want to ask the son for money again, it will be a loss of conscience. After speaking, the old man stuffed the bun into Xia Hongsheng's hand, turned around and ran away.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and shook his head, Damn, is this son too approachable and too majestic?

But that's good. Xia Hongsheng laughed, took a few big bites and nibbled on the buns, and gave the rest to Qi Yong for him to eat.

The sun gradually revealed a glimmer of morning, and the Jingyang market began to be lively, and all kinds of rice aromas were intertwined, making Xia Hongsheng's stomach growl.

Qi Yong hiccuped on the side, and ate all the remaining big buns, and he couldn't kill him!

Suddenly, there seemed to be a reflection flashing in the distance, Xia Hongsheng raised his eyes to look over, but saw that it was Li Shimin's Luan.

The Son of Heaven drove six, and as soon as Li Shimin's carriage appeared, it alarmed everyone on the road.

Whether it was disbelief or suspicion, passers-by dodged both sides and stared at Luan in a daze.

Xia Hongsheng was also taken aback, Li Shimin agreed to come to Jingyang Academy to help Xia Hongsheng advertise for free, there were two conditions. First, Xia Hongsheng can't prepare in advance, he can tell if he has prepared in advance, he doesn't watch the performance; The second is where to go, Xia Hongsheng only accompanies and explains, and does not need to plan the route.

Xia Hongsheng was confident in his fiefdom, so he agreed.

But he didn't expect that Li Shimin would come directly and openly with Luan.

Li Shimin's Luan drove did not approach Jingyangji, but stopped at a distant place. There is a fork in the road, a road does not pass through Jingyangji, and leads directly to Xia Hongsheng's house. The other road passes through Jingyangji, and then goes directly to the academy.

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly greeted him, hurriedly ran to the fork in the road, and saw that Li Shimin had come down.

is not only Li Shimin, but also a group of bigwigs in civilian clothes behind him. Li Shimin himself also wore a suit of civilian clothes.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty!" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went over to salute.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I said it before, but today I came recklessly, walking, and Xia Qing only accompanied." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded.

"Xia Qing, I have worked hard to help you!" Li Shimin said to Xia Hongsheng again: "Look, I not only came by myself, but also brought important ministers from the imperial court, and even my Luan Jia came over to show you off, you Jingyang Academy, don't let me down!" ”

"No, no, no." Xia Hongsheng hurriedly shook his head: "Disappointed or not, Wechen doesn't dare to make a decision for Your Majesty, but let Your Majesty and your lords refresh, Wechen can guarantee it!" ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Luan will go first, Zhuqing will walk with me, let's go and take a look at this Jingyang Academy." (To be continued.) )
