It was a coincidence that these two groups of people were traveling on the same road.
Luo Yong and his party came from Lishi, and these people came from Mengmenguan, both heading towards Chang'an City.
The next day, Luo Yong and his group left first.
About noon, they saw a rural straw market not far from an inn, so Luo Yong asked the coachman to stop the car and go to the straw market to buy some.
A few things.
When the people who lived in the same inn with them last night caught up, Luo Yong was standing in front of a pork stall on the roadside, holding a pork belly in his hand to inspect.
"Tsk, you are actually a frugal person.
Instead of buying good pork, you went to buy water."
The fat man opened the car window and took a look, then told the servant driving the car: "Go down and buy some good pork.
Today Let’s have some stew tonight.”
"Here."
The driver stopped the car and went to the pork stall.
He picked out some of the fat and thin pork belly and bought some.
After thinking about it, he added a pig hind leg.
Speaking of which, the official road from Lishi County to Chang'an City is not very deserted.
It is much better than the road to Liangzhou City in the west.
Along the way, we often pass through some rural towns, and sometimes we encounter grass markets.
Most of these grass markets appear at the intersection of roads, or simply next to the inn.
There is not only a grass market next to the inn, but also various inns for travelers.
If you don't have the relevant documents or don't have enough status to live in the inn, you can stay in the inn next to the inn.
When it comes to the advantages of staying in an inn, one is safety and the other is free.
If he can stay in an inn, Luo Yong will definitely not consider other things, even though some conditions and facilities for reverse travel seem to be better than those in inns.
That night, Luo Yong and the others arrived first.
By the time the following group of people entered the inn, they had already cooked pork belly and chicken.
Luo Yong opened the wooden lid of the pottery cauldron and stirred it with a spoon.
The clear milky white soup was neither thick nor light, and bursts of fragrance wafted out.
The fragrance smelled really good, except for the chicken and The aroma of pork belly and a hint of pepper "Mr.
Lang, how do you want to braise the meat tonight?"
asked the plump man's servant.
"You watch the braised pork."
Lang Jun waved his hand, no longer looking forward to his braised pork tonight.
There are quite a lot of people in this inn today.
Some people who are more active will take this opportunity to chat and make friends with others, exchange information, and expand their connections.
After all, those who can live in the inn generally have a high status.
When Luo Yong travels with the children at home, he also follows the principle of doing more than doing less.
He is not warm to those who come to chat.
The other people think that he is boring, so they just talk and drink with those who can talk to him. .
As for the rest of their team There are already enough people eating, so it wouldn't be stupid to add a few more.
Tonight, after Luo Yong and others took a bowl of the pork belly and chicken in the pottery pot, they asked the servants of Uncle Bai and others to share it with the servants of Dr.
Chen.
These men sat outside all day.
On a cold day when we are driving, we really deserve a few bites of something good.
Each person had a large bowl of pork belly and chicken soup, as well as a large bowl of cold vegetables.
In addition, Uncle Bai bought pancakes from the food shop next to the inn.
He drank the cold vegetables, drank the soup and had cakes.

This dinner was very satisfying. .
"Are you full?"
After dinner, the servants took the tableware and went out to clean it.
Luo Yong and others sat in the hall to warm themselves by the fire.
The boy Liulang cuddled next to him.
Luo Yong reached out and touched his hair and asked.
"Yeah."
Liulang was a little shy.
At this time, he leaned next to Luo Yong and looked at the crowds here and there in the hall with curiosity.
Luo Yong loosened his hair and rubbed his scalp.
The little guy moved his body and rested his head on Luo Yong's knees.
He grabbed the hem of his clothes in his hand and played with it from time to time.
His eyes were still Looking at the people in the hall, my ears were listening to their words.
Siniang, Wulang and Qiniang were gathering around the fire to roast taro.
There was a group of people over there who came from the south and brought taro with them.
These children took a second look and were spotted by the other party. , so they grabbed a few from the basket and asked them to bake them themselves.
In return, the four ladies took out a small plate of spiced peas from their own snacks and gave them to drink.
Bai Yimao and the others gathered together, not knowing what they were muttering about.
Uncle Bai and Dr.
Chen were sitting across from each other.
The two were discussing math problems.
Qiao Junlin was sitting cross-legged on the short kang beside him, holding a book and writing.
Watch.
After these two days, Luo Yong had a new understanding of how diligent Qiao Junlin was.
In the long run, he really didn’t know if his brain power could keep up.
Luo Yong remembered that when he was in high school, there was a particularly hard-working person in his class.
A male student, in his teens, had to endure it all to become a young man with white hair.
On this side, Luo Yong was thinking about whether Qiao Junlin would lose his hair.
On the other side, some people were quietly talking about them.
“Why are these beans so delicious?”
"I think that young man is very skilled at his craftsmanship."
"That pork belly and chicken soup just now, you all smelled it."
“I don’t know which family it is from” "I heard from the brother over there that I seemed to have met them after passing Lishi."
"Could it be that" Li Shiluo's sister's restaurant is quite famous in Chang'an City now.
The reputation of the restaurant in Liangzhou City is not that great, mainly because Luo Erniang is famous.
"It shouldn't be possible.
Luo Sanlang is staying well in his Xipo Village.
Why are you dragging your family out here in this cold weather?"
Someone shook his head and said.
"You guys who came down from the north probably haven't heard that the sage asked Naluo Sanlang to teach arithmetic at the Imperial Academy.
Now the scribes have also come down."
Several people who came from Chang'an City heard about this. of.
Several people looked at each other, and then soon a young man came over to talk to Luo Yong: "I dare to ask this brother, but he comes from Lishi" Luo Yong didn't like people prying, especially when he was traveling with his family and his family.
There were people in Chang'an City who wanted to kill him before, and he also knew that he had made many enemies.
"We are from Fangshan.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I don't know where this brother comes from."
Before Luo Yong could speak, Qiao Junlin had already closed the book and said to the man with a smile.
"They are actually people from Fangshan.
I also thought that you should have come from Lishi."
The man still looked a bit unbelieving.
When they were discussing there just now, he was very convinced that these children were The elder brother should be Rishi Luo Sanlang.
I don’t know what the person speaking now has to do with them.
I didn’t talk to him, but he kept talking.
"I don't know where I came from and where I want to go."
Qiao Junlin smiled, as if he didn't notice the other party's dissatisfaction at all.
"We are coming from Chang'an City and want to go to Taiyuan Mansion."
The other party had no choice but to reply.
"That's it."
Qiao Junlin cupped his hand and said with a smile, obviously having no intention of continuing to chat with him.
The other party found it boring, so he bowed his hands and went back to his side, saying to the people over there, "Yan is from Fangshan."
"Hey, let me tell you how could such a coincidence happen."
Someone said.
"It doesn't matter where he is from, let's have wine and wine."
Some people had just seen the cold reception this person received there, and they quickly warmed up the atmosphere.
That night, when Luo Yong and the others went back to their room to rest, Qiao Junlin made a special trip to their room and said to him: "You need to be careful when you go out.
Some people appear to be friendly, but in fact they don't know whether they are kind or malicious.
Don't let your guard down."
After he left, Teacher Luo scratched his loose hair and thought to himself, this is because he was taught by his students.
You must know that the purpose of his trip to Chang'an City is to serve as a doctoral assistant at Taixue.
Qiao Junlin is still a student of Taixue, so the relationship between them is teacher-student.
But obviously, Qiao Junlin does not regard Luo Yong as his teacher. treat.
Qiao Junlin not only came over and knocked on Luo Yong's door that night, but also talked about it with Uncle Bai and Dr.
Chen.
The two of them heard that someone was inquiring about Luo Yong's identity, and they were a little wary.
After all, Luo Yong had made many enemies in the past two years.
So early the next morning, the group of them set off at dawn.
They drove quickly all day long, leaving behind all the people they met at the inn earlier.
In the next few days, I walked faster.
Even when I passed by Wu You's restaurant, I only stopped for a while, had a meal there, and then set off again soon.
In less than ten days, they rushed all the way to Chang'an City.
After the cement road was repaired, the speed of the horse-drawn carriage running on it was indeed more than a little faster.
Their group entered the city in the early morning.
When they arrived near Chang'an City the night before, it was already late and the city gate was closed, so they stayed nearby and entered the city early the next morning.
After entering the city, Uncle Bai and others said goodbye to Luo Yong, and then went home respectively.
He only asked his servant to take the Luo brothers and sisters to the place before turning back.
Dr.
Chen and Qiao Junlin had to report to school first, and made an appointment with Luo Yong to go to Taixue tomorrow, and then left.
Luo Yong took Wu Lang to the car here, and the brothers and sisters went all the way to Guangdefang.
The car was driving on the streets of Chang'an City, and the children of the Luo family were lying on the car windows one by one, looking excitedly at the carts carrying burdens and the ox carts and carriages.
The city walls of Chang'an City are so high, the city gates are so big, the people of Chang'an dress brightly, with many beautiful colors, and the streets of Chang'an City are so wide.

"Why are there no shops on this street?"
Qiniang remembered that when her brother took her to Lishi County, there were many shops in the county.
"Stupid, didn't my sister say in her letter that the streets outside are for people to walk on, and the shops are all in the shops."
Siniang said to her.
"When can we get to the shop?"
Qiniang was most interested in the shop.
The driver who drove the carriage in front heard it and said with a smile: "It is a bit far from this city gate to Guangdefang, but now there are cement roads everywhere in Chang'an City, and the carriage can run very fast."
The streets in Chang'an City are extremely spacious, with widths of tens to hundreds of meters, which are not common even in later generations.
Nowadays, these streets are paved with cement pavements.
When pedestrians and horses are passing by, it is like walking on a large street.
It's average above the square.
There are open drainage channels on both sides of the street.
Rows of trees are planted beside the channels.
The water in these channels is collected from nearby shops.
Under many streets and paths in the shops, there are drainage channels built with blue bricks.
Underdrains are used to discharge domestic sewage.
This sewage does not include human and animal urine and feces.
People come to collect it every day.
The service is free and free of charge.
You can still make some money by selling the collected fertilizer outside Chang'an City.
So at this time, their car was driving on the street, looking at the sparkling water in the canals on both sides of the road, the green trees beside the canals, and no smell.
The carriage drove along the cement road and arrived at Guangdefang not long after.
Because it was still in the morning and the West Market had not yet opened, Guangdefang had not yet reached the busiest time of the day.
Only some residents came out for activities.
People shopping for groceries, people eating, and many shops are preparing for this day's business.
The location of Ma's Guesthouse is very conspicuous.
As soon as their car entered from the south gate of Guangdefang, they saw a two-story building on the corner of the street in front, with a plaque of Ma's Guesthouse hanging on it.
Downstairs There is also a small shop with a small sign advertising Sister's Food Shop.
There are many people queuing up outside Sister's Restaurant.
Luo Yongzhi knows that they are all here to buy tofu.
He heard that ever since Aunt Luo and others started making and selling tofu in Chang'an City, the business has been very good.
Every day There is not enough to sell.
Luo Yong walked outside the counter and took a look.
He didn't see Aunt Luo here, so he asked Xu Dalang's eldest son: "Dalang, where is my sister now?"
The young man was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground.
When he heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Luo Yongliong.
He was overjoyed immediately: "Why is Sanlang here?
But he just arrived today?"
The children of Luo Yong's disciples are not considered Luo Yong's disciples.
In addition, Luo Yong is a casual person, so these people are also more casual in their titles.
Some are called Sanlang and some are called Sir.
Luo Yong didn't like hearing them call him sir, and they called him old.
He was still a young boy in his teens.
"I just entered the city, and my sister is over there in Chonghuafang."
Luo Yong also knew that Aunt Luo had rented a yard there in Chonghuafang.

"Exactly, she was still here just now, and she has passed now."
Xu Dalang's eldest son said.
"Then you guys get busy first, I'll go over to Chonghuafang and have a look."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
"Hey."
The young man said happily.
Opposite Guangdefang is Yankangfang, to the left of Yankangfang is Huaiyuanfang, and to the left of Huaiyuanfang is Chonghuafang.
Compared with Guangde Fang, Chonghua Fang is much quieter.
Although there are residents coming and going, it is not as lively and prosperous as there.
The carriage stopped outside a courtyard.
Luo Yong got out of the car and took a look.
He saw a large pool built on the left side of the yard.
On the side of the pool against the wall, there was a water outlet half a foot square.
At this time, there was constant steam coming out.
Luo Yong has been making tofu for so long, so he naturally knows that this is the pulp water produced when pressing tofu.
I heard before that Luo Erniang built two Suxin pools in Liangzhou City.
Here in Chang'an City, Aunt Luo also followed the same example.
This water can be used for decontamination.
It is better to distribute it to the neighbors than pour it into the ditch. powerful.
At this time, some neighbors came over with buckets to get slurry water.
Most of them were women, some were young and some were old.
From time to time, some young men and women in their teens could also be seen.
Seeing Luo Yong's carriage parked outside this yard, these people all cast curious glances here.
Aunt Luo's yard is only about making goods and not selling them.
Everyone basically knows that there are very few people nowadays.
Came here to do some shopping.
"This husband is here to buy goods."
At this time, a man came over with two buckets to fetch slurry water.
When he saw Luo Yong, he went up and asked.
"I'm here to find my sister."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
"Your sister, could it be?"
While they were talking, Siniang had already gone up to knock on the door.
After the door opened, the children of the Luo family went in one after another.
Luo Yong and the others could hear them shouting "Ah" from outside.
Sister's voice.
"Why are you here?"
After a while, Aunt Luo exclaimed.
Luo Yong bowed his hands to the man, thanked the Bai family's servants, and followed him into the yard.
Soon another woman came out to take a look, smiled at the people outside the door, and then closed the door again.
On.
There are many types of food in Ajie’s restaurant, and a large amount of food needs to be processed every day.
Aunt Luo rented a yard here to work.
Firstly, she did not want to be disturbed and spied on, and secondly, she was worried about affecting production, so she simply He closed the door and went to work, and put a piece of paper outside asking anyone who wanted to buy goods to go directly to Sister's Restaurant.
"I heard that the sage asked you to teach arithmetic at the Imperial Academy, so I knew you would be coming here in the next few days.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I didn't expect you to bring these people with you."
The aunt held Qiniang in her arms and gave her some snacks from the kang table.
It had been a while since we last saw her, and she had grown a lot.
She came all the way from Lishi County, and these children seemed to be in high spirits.
Not bad, it doesn't look like he suffered anything.
"How are you doing, sister?"
Luo Yong asked her.
"Okay, okay."
Auntie hugged Qiniang, shook her, and asked with a smile, "Sanlang, what do you think of my house?"
""Luo Yong looked at her in surprise.
"I just bought it two days ago."
Aunt Luo said happily: "It is not a long-term solution to rent a house all the time.
Anyway, the business is good, and after I have some savings on hand, I have been thinking about buying a yard.
We I’m used to doing the work here, and everything is readily available, so I don’t want to change places.
The original owner was also kind and the price was reasonable.”
"This yard is pretty good."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
The housing prices in Chang'an City are not comparable to those in Liangzhou City.
Although Chonghua Fang is not as good as Guangde Fang, it is still close to the West Market.
Although Chang'an City has East and West Markets, the style of the East Market is too high. , not as popular as the West Market.
"It wasn't enough before.
After winter, I sold some cans, and that's enough."
Aunt Luo's face was full of joy, and she added: "I will have this yard written in your name."
"It doesn't matter if it's written in my sister's name," Luo Yong said.
"Forget it for now."
The aunt shook her head and said, "Although Wu Lang is a good person, the house is still not clean.
Weng Po is also getting older.
I'm afraid that they will become more confused as they get older in the future."
The Luo family's siblings don't have a very clear division of money.
Aunt Luo has been running this restaurant for a long time, and Luo Yong has never mentioned sharing money with her.
The same is true over there.
To put it bluntly, Luo Yong is still paying unilaterally here and is willing to give his sister more money to accompany her.
For Aunt Luo, she was naturally very happy that Luo Yong treated her generously.
However, she felt very unhappy when she thought that if these things were in her own name, they would probably benefit Lin Chunqiu and his wife in vain in the future.
Happy.
Although Lin Chunqiu and Lin Wulang are also brothers, he has eaten better than Wulang, dressed better than Wulang since he was a child, and has always worked less than Wulang.
Such a person, now he and Wulang are still trying to support him, Aunt Luo Just thinking about it makes me feel very unhappy.
Aunt Luo took out the house deed.
Luo Yong reached out to take it and said with a smile: "Then I will keep it for a few years."
"Keep it safe and don't lose it."
Aunt Luo warned.
In her opinion, Luo Yong was good at everything, but he was a little unreliable in some aspects.
"Sister, don't worry."
This thing couldn't be safer if placed in the space.
"Where do you plan to live when you come over this time?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Do you want to live here?"
Aunt Luo asked, but she still felt it was inappropriate.
Luo Yong was granted an official title by the imperial court this time.
He was from the seventh rank, too.
How can I live in the yard where they work as a teaching assistant?
"I still live over there in Feng'anfang."
Luo Yong said.
Feng'anfang is also on the west side of the city.
It is not far from Guangdefang and is relatively south.
It is not far from Anhua Gate and Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City.
Ma's Trading Company is over there, and Luo Yong The yard that those disciples bought for him was also there.
The courtyard is now occupied by Hou Lin, Qiao Jun, Lin and Azhi.
The courtyard is not too small, but there are still a few empty rooms.
Luo Yong and the others plan to live there this time.
Hou Lin is a teacher at Guozixue, Qiao Junlin is a student at Taixue, and Luo Yong is an assistant teacher at Taixue, so the three of them are in harmony.
But there was no rush to go over at this time.
Aunt Luo asked Luo Yong to wash up first.
They have a specially built bathing place in their yard.
There is a stove and a hot kang, and they can boil water and add water to the house.
Wen, the floor is plastered with cement, and there are drainage ditches under the walls.
Luo Yong, four mothers and five men took turns to go in and wash themselves, and then the aunt peeled off Liu Lang and Qiniang and washed them all.
Liu Lang was still ashamed.
When he came out of the bathroom with wet hair, his cheeks were all wet.
It was red, and Luo Yong looked a little funny, so he took him over and wiped his hair.
The brothers and sisters took a shower and ate some food.
In the afternoon, while the aunt and the others were busy, Luo Yong and the others slept in the room with their legs in the air.
After riding in the carriage for more than ten days, they were still a little tired after all.
The aunt came over to take a look.
Seeing that these people were sleeping soundly, she didn't disturb them.
Now she is in Chang'an City and Erniang is in Liangzhou City.
The family is pointing to Sanlang and Siniang.
After all, Fourth Niang is younger, and mainly depends on Sanlang.
Now look at them all, they all look good.
It's so good, Saburo must have put a lot of effort into these little ones.
The author has something to say: I will post a floor plan of Chang'an City to prevent everyone from seeing it in a fog.
If you can't see it on your mobile phone, you can also look at it on my Weibo.
You can find it by searching for "newspaper pasted wall". gd1806102:
