Chapter 87 Entering the City
At the same time, more than one hundred temples in the city began to ring their morning bells. The passionate beating of drums and the deep and melodious bells intertwined together, and Chang'an City slowly woke up.
The morning sun broke through the thin sky and rose slowly, and people who had never been to Chang'an City were very excited.
"Aying, have you heard this bell before?" Gao asked Fengying while they were sitting in a carriage.
Feng Ying nodded and said, "That was when I was a kid. I couldn't wake up in the first place, and it would knock more than a hundred times. If you didn't wake up in one wave, you would wake up in the next wave. Anyway, it was impossible to sleep early."
Gao said: "Then we should go to bed early tonight."
Gao asked again, "Where are we going to sleep with so many people? The host hasn't said how to arrange it, right? Do we have to stay on our own?"
Feng Ying really doesn’t know this.
The master gave her the address of Yongxingfang, which should have provided her with a place to live, but no one else was given one. It seemed that only those with official positions and promising sons were arranged there.
Feng Ying said, "Brother, you have a place to stay in Chang'an. Are you still worried about not having a place to stay, sister-in-law?"
"I..." Gao didn't want to mention it. It didn't matter if she didn't know. Now that she knew that Li Zhenghe was thinking about Jiang, she couldn't stay with Li Zhenghe for a day.
And she wants to live with A Jian.
Gao said, "After we enter the city, I will help you take care of Ah Jian?"
Feng Ying: “???”
Does the second sister-in-law know that A Jian is her life? She dare not hand A Jian over to anyone else.
My second sister-in-law can’t do it either.
"I'm just saying, as a mother, how could I bear to let someone else take care of my child?" Gao said embarrassedly.
Feng Ying smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you understand me. They all think my daughter Jian is stupid and that I shouldn't have raised her to this age."
You must raise it, Gao really wanted to say, if you don’t want it, just give it to me.
In the end, she held back because she knew that Feng Ying loved her daughter dearly and really liked Jian, regardless of whether Jian was a fool or not.
"What's that noise outside?" Suddenly I felt the team pause.
Feng Ying stuck his head out and asked.
[It should be Wang Duan's people who came to report the situation. The Xiao brothers and sisters wanted to kill Wang Duan. Wang Duan was hidden in the carriage by Wu Lang and did not get on the Wang family's car. ]
Feng Ying:?
Wang Duan?
Is it the young lady from the Wang family whom she met at the post station?
Are the Xiao brothers and sisters the two grandchildren of Prime Minister Xiao Jingze?
Why is Wu Lang related to the young lady from the Wang family?
Gao: Could it be possible that the Li family could marry the young lady from Wang family in Taiyuan?
That would really be a sign of the aura coming out of our ancestors' tombs.
After Wang Duan and her guards left, Feng Ying called Wu Lang over and asked, "What happened?"
Wu Lang felt indignant for Wang Duan and looked very unhappy.
As expected, the Xiao siblings murdered Wang Duan, and then wanted to do a favor to the Wang family by taking people to rescue Wang Duan. However, they didn't expect that Wang Duan was not in the car at all, and they only kidnapped a maid.
Wang Duan has reported this to the Wannian County Magistrate, who has arrested those who pretended to be bandits and confirmed that the Xiao brothers and sisters were related to them, but he did not dare to convict them.
You have to know that the Wang family is a prominent family and is very powerful. The relationship between Wannian County and the Wang family is better than that between the Magistrate of Chang'an County and the Wang family, but neither of them can do anything to the Xiao family.
"Mom, I'm just helping Shiqi Niang, otherwise she would be harmed by someone." Wu Lang was afraid of his mother's blame.
Feng Ying did not blame Wu Lang. She looked worried and said, "I have heard of the Xiao family. Will we offend the Xiao family?"
Gao said with a bad face: "This prime minister is a petty person, sweet-mouthed but treacherous. There is no benefit in offending the Xiao family.
[Fuck, are you afraid of a fisherman? It's true that when there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. Who dares to touch a member of my Li family? Damn him! ]
Everyone heard Li Jidao's voice.
Feng Ying: “…”
Suddenly I felt at ease.
Since A Jian said to defeat him, we can definitely defeat him.
Gao: I didn’t expect this. I always thought Jian just knew a lot, but I didn’t expect she still had such a temper.
After seeing Wang Duan off, the team continued to move forward.
The palace where Prince Luoyang stayed was also in Yongxingfang.
This place belongs to Chang'an County, in the northern part of Xi'an City, right next to the imperial palace wall.
Chang'an is divided into two counties by the Suzaku Avenue in the center: Wannian County in the east and Chang'an County in the west.
Li Jidao, it should be said that the large courtyard of the main branch of the Li family was also in Yongxingfang.
It was right next to the palace where Prince Luoyang stayed.
They entered from the Qixia Gate and walked straight to the end where they arrived at Yongxingfang.
But the journey was quite long. We entered the city at sunrise and arrived at the gate of Yongxingfang at noon.
The Li family had come to greet them early, mainly to welcome King Luoyang.
After all, this is the ancestor's son-in-law, and the person who came to pick him up was Li Hongxin, the current head of the Li family.
He was in his forties, tall and slender, with a big beard, and was wearing the official uniform of the Sitian Observatory with a pattern of the sun, moon and stars. The uniform was aqua black, which made him look even more majestic.
Li Jidao glanced at Li Hongxin casually and didn't pay any further attention to her. She missed her Changchun Garden.
Her Changchun Garden is like spring all year round and is filled with all kinds of treasures.
Their family also has a library, and it is said that the books in it were all copied from memory by their fourth generation ancestor.
It contains everything from astronomy, geography, and folk customs, which have never been seen outside.
Moreover, they have finished reading many books at home, and cannot describe them to others. They can only know them in their hearts and cannot share them with others.
My father said that this was just the tip of the iceberg. There should be a previous volume in their collection of books, but it was placed in a space they couldn’t see. Only a destined person could see it by chance.
She hasn't finished reading all the books in the collection.
In addition to books, she also raised some rare and exotic animals. She has been dead for so long, and no one knows what happened to those little animals.
[Tonight I want the second yard on the left of the central axis.] Li Jidao wanted to live there before he died. The pear trees there are in bloom.
Feng Ying:?
Ah Jian, what on earth are you thinking about? Forget about other requests, but this one is harder than climbing to the sky.
This is their ancestral home. Even though their ancestors are dead, it is not their turn to live here, yet they are picking on the yard.
Gao: ...Ajian is really overthinking it.
Goro: I won’t be able to fulfill my sister’s wish even if I spend my entire life trying, right?
Shiro: Another one gone crazy.
Song Jie didn't even get off the carriage.
Li Hongxin bowed and asked, "Sir, are you going to return to the palace directly or go to Changchun Garden first?"
Li Jidao's body is now lying in the Changchun Garden.
A temporary coffin was built there. The body had been lying in state for forty-two days and would be buried in seven days.
Song Jie asked someone to ask Feng Ying whether to settle down first or go to Changchun Garden to burn incense first.
Li Hongxin:?
Who is this Feng?
Feng Ying was naturally happy when she heard that she could go to Changchun Garden. She really couldn't let Ah Jian live in her ancestral home, but she could go and pay homage to her ancestors first.
Her choice was naturally to go to Changchun Garden first.
Song Jie nodded and said, "Then let's go to Changchun Garden first."
Li Hongxin:?
Who exactly is this Feng family?
Why can it influence the behavior of King Luoyang?
