The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 326
Chang'an was prosperous, but Chang'an in the Song Dynasty was much smaller than that in the Tang Dynasty.

After several days of trekking, Zhao Kuangyin's team finally arrived in Chang'an.

The walls of Chang'an City are somewhat mottled, and some bloodstains can even be faintly seen, which is a clear proof of the war in this capital.

Outside the city of Chang'an, Lin Zegang, the magistrate, brought all the officials of the Chang'an government to greet him here. When they saw Zhao Kuangyin, they all knelt down and shouted long live.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Lin Aiqing, has everything been arranged?"

"Return to the Holy One, the palace has been arranged."

"Now that everything is arranged, let's go to the city."

When the team entered the city, Liu Wei walked across the long street on a tall horse. He found that the layout of Chang'an City was very different from that of Bianjing City. Bianjing, on the other hand, is even more chaotic.

Chang'an City looked very peaceful. When the procession walked through the long street, many people stood on both sides to watch, with smiles on their faces, and they were admiring the majesty of the Emperor of Song Dynasty.

And among these crowds, there was a woman with excited eyes, she couldn't help opening her mouth, but in the end she waved her hand, but no one saw her move.

The team quickly walked away, and the woman's eyes showed a trace of loneliness, like a lone star in the sky.

The palace in Chang'an City is not considered prosperous. This is related to Zhao Kuangyin's frugality. Lin Zegang, the magistrate of Chang'an, also knows this, so he just arranges the palace to make it comfortable to live in, not to look stylish.

Zhao Kuangyin is very satisfied with such a palace.

Everyone was able to enter the palace, Lin Zegang said: "I don't know how long the Holy Majesty plans to stay in Chang'an, do you have any plans?"

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, and said: "You don't have to worry about it. After I come here, you can just do what you should do, and don't have to think about trying to please me all day long."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

After Zhao Kuangyin instructed Lin Zegang in this way, Lin Zegang left the palace, while King Jin and King Wei were taken to the post house. The palace was just like the imperial palace, except for the emperor, no one else could live there.

But there are exceptions, such as the current Liuwei.

Zhao Kuangyin allowed Liu Wei to live in the palace, because it would be easier for the two of them to discuss things. Moreover, the palace was quite bleak. Taste chat is also good.

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Liu Aiqing, how are you going to find Jingniang? Last time you said you wanted Jingniang to come to us?" Having said that, Zhao Kuangyin shook his head again: "I think it's impossible, I will be the Everyone knows about the Emperor, Jing Niang must have heard of it, she suddenly wanted to be rich, she would definitely go to the capital to find me, but she didn't, which means she didn't want to go to me to get rich."

Zhao Kuangyin's meaning is very simple, that is, Zhao Jingniang may not want to see Zhao Kuangyin, so it seems impossible for Zhao Jingniang to come to them.

Liu Wei smiled: "Your Majesty's analysis is very accurate, so I'm going to write a vernacular novel, let Li Buyi go to the restaurant to speak, and I will send someone to secretly observe the audience who came to listen, maybe Zhao Jingniang is among them. what."

"This..." Zhao Kuangyin smiled wryly: "Jingniang is not a person who likes to listen to stories. I escorted her thousands of miles back then, but she never said that she likes to listen to stories. She said the stories were too fake."

Liu Wei shrugged: "But what if it's the story between the Holy Majesty and her, Zhao Jingniang?"

"Is this... okay?"

"Don't worry, the little minister will be artistically processed. At that time, only Zhao Jingniang and the Holy One will be able to hear what the story refers to. This story is guaranteed to be touching and touching. It will soon be passed on to Chang'an. By that time, as long as Zhao Jingniang is still in Chang'an , she will definitely listen."

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a while, and finally said: "You first write the vernacular novel and show it to me. If I think it's okay, you can show it to Li Buyi."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

After arriving in Chang'an, Liu Wei wandered around the streets of Chang'an City while writing vernacular novels.

This is the ancient capital of the Tang Dynasty. It used to be very close to glory. Even if the glory is not there now, you can still feel an indescribable taste in it. Maybe in Liu Wei's view, only the word Chang'an contains There are many stories, many unspeakable, lingering and pathetic stories.

While Liu Wei was wandering the streets of Chang'an City, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

In Chang'an City, who would call him by his name?

Liu Wei turned his head, and then saw a man, a man dressed in luxury, Liu Wei hardly recognized him at first, but when he approached, he was immediately startled.

The person who stopped him was Chu Xikuang, the man who had been down and out in Qin's Restaurant in Bianjing City.

"Master Liu, I really didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few years and you are already a member of political affairs." Chu Xikuang walked towards Liu Wei with a smile on his face, but he still didn't lose his wildness.

Liu Wei smiled: "Looking at Boss Chu's clothes, I think he has made a lot of money."

"What is this little money to Mr. Liu? In fact, I relied on the wine from him. Ever since my business got better, I have always wanted to go to Bianjing City to thank you, but later I heard that you went to Lingnan and Southern Tang. This has been delayed for a long time. A few days ago, I heard that the Holy Majesty was coming to Chang'an, and Master Liu was also on the list. I waited for a long time at the gate of the post house for this reason, but later I was told that my lord lived with the Holy Majesty. In the palace, this is the time to squat outside the palace."

After Chu Xikuang finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Today I have to meet an adult, and I must not get drunk or return home."

Liu Wei smiled, his relationship with Chu Xikuang is not particularly good, he can only be regarded as a relatively good acquaintance, but judging by his enthusiasm, it is touching enough, and it is easy to infect others.

Liu Wei shrugged: "Since Boss Chu treats guests, then this wine must be drunk."

The two of them talked, and went to Chu Xikuang's restaurant, Chu Xikuang ordered someone to bring food and wine, and just like that, they drank with Liu Wei. The two of them were wine and meat friends, so the conversation was naturally about ordinary things.

But it's these ordinary things that make Liu Wei feel relaxed physically and mentally. Since he was involved in the power struggle in the court, Liu Wei has not relaxed like this for a long time. This reminds him of when he went to university in the future, his classmates We have dinner together every week. Maybe the food is not exquisite, but the wine is enough. Everyone chats freely, talking about beauties and ideals. How comfortable is that kind of life.

While the two were talking loudly, a waiter brought a plate of buns for them to eat. Liu Wei picked up a bun and took a bite. It was a very common bun, but the taste There is an indescribable familiarity.

"This bun..."

"There is a steamed stuffed bun shop not far from here. The stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed stuffed buns in that shop are pretty good for me, so I ask them to deliver a few drawers every day. You don't know. Sometimes my guests here like to eat stuffed stuffed buns when they drink a lot. .”

Liu Wei smiled wryly, thinking that the habits of your guests are really weird.

But now Liu Wei didn't care about it, he got up and said, "I want to go to that bun shop."

Although Chu Xikuang was puzzled, he nodded in agreement and expressed his willingness to lead the way.

When the two left the restaurant, Liu Wei's heart jumped. The taste of this bun was the same as that of Guan Tsing Yi's buns he had eaten before. At that time, he hadn't taught Guan Tsing Yi how to make soup buns.

He had an intuition that Guan Tsing Yi opened that steamed stuffed bun shop, but he was a little puzzled, the business of soup dumpling was very good, if it was really Guan Tsing Yi's steamed stuffed bun shop, why didn't she sell soup dumpling but this kind of stuffed bun shop? Ordinary buns?

So he had to see it with his own eyes.

That steamed stuffed bun shop is not very far from Chu Xikuang's restaurant. When Liu Wei and the others went there, there were still a few customers buying steamed stuffed buns. A woman kept busy, gesticulating with her hands, a man Because she was dumb and couldn't tell, she gave less than a penny. The woman wanted to ask for it, but she couldn't speak, so she could only hold the man and refused to let him go.

When the two sides were in such a stalemate, the woman suddenly raised her head and saw Liu Wei who was looking at her. Liu Wei's eyes were a little wet and soft, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The woman's hand suddenly let go of the man. Seeing the woman let go, the man was overjoyed and didn't say much. He ran away suddenly, and looked back while running, but he didn't find the woman chasing him out.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time across the street. After a long time, Liu Wei walked towards the steamed stuffed bun shop with a smile on his face, which infected the woman. The woman also smiled, smiling like a blooming March flowers.

"Tsing Yi."

Liu Wei's faint words were choked up when she said them, but after hearing Liu Wei's words, the woman suddenly sobbed, and suddenly threw herself into Liu Wei's arms.

That feeling is very familiar and warm. Although this is the street, Liu Wei still hugs her tightly without hesitation. Maybe, only in this way can he make her feel happy and safe.

Chu Xikuang understood a little bit, but he didn't seem to understand anything, because he remembered that Liu Wei was a son-in-law, but why was he cuddling with a dumb girl here?

The spring breeze blows, like a lover whispering, Liu Wei and Guan Qingyi are not as lingering as imagined, and soon separated after embracing, maybe Guan Qingyi suddenly realized Liu Wei's identity and did not want Liu Wei to be loved by others. Misunderstanding, maybe she was shy.

The heat of the steamed stuffed bun had dissipated, and Liu Wei wanted to ask a thousand questions, but in the end he only asked, "How are you... how are you doing?"

He felt that the question he asked was very unwise, Guan Qingyi was framed, her family property was wiped out, and she fled from Bianjing to Chang'an, will she live well?It's no wonder if it's good, he feels that he is really not human, but he only wants to ask this question.
