The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174 All men in the Cheng family have fallen
As night falls, the entire Chang'an City begins a curfew, but the curfew in Chang'an City is only a curfew on the main roads. As long as the gates of the squares are closed, the respective squares will be as lively as they should be.

Just like Pingkangfang, this is the happiest time.

"Grandpa Black, look at the lanterns, they're so beautiful!"

This is Huaidefang, at the far west of Chang'an City, to the east of Huaidefang, just one road away from Chang'an West Market, so Huaidefang is also a very prosperous place among the [-] squares in Chang'an.

In Huaidefang, there are official residences, private houses, temples, gardens, hotels, small shops, handicraft workshops and other places.

There are also restaurants, flower houses, and even a snack street, which is somewhat similar to our current night market. Of course, this was during the Zhenguan period. If time went back to the Wude period, even the square would not be so open at night.

At that time, Li Yuan implemented a strict market system in order to better manage the market. In terms of time, there were strict regulations on when the market opened and closed in a city every day; in terms of space, the market area of ​​a city was strictly regulated. It is separated from the residential area and separated by high walls, so it is not connected with each other. This can be seen from the spatial structure of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.

In many squares, only shops can be set up. Merchants go to the shops to do business during the day and have to withdraw to the square to rest during the night curfew.Some bold merchants also began to build inner residences in the city, such as restaurants, restaurants and other convenient living places for businessmen who had no place to stay and did business to stay at night.

Such a curfew system began to relax during the Zhenguan period due to the strong national power of Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty. Night markets appeared. There were many good things in the night market. First of all, there were rows of lanterns, and each shop had to hang at least three Fifty lights illuminated a whole street as if it were daytime.

On this night market street, there are Biluo shop and Lihua Honey shop. There are also more snacks, including crystal corner, Shatang ice and snow, eel buns and other rich delicacies.

This crystal horn is a kind of snack. Lamb, mutton fat, and mutton tail meat are minced and mixed with finely chopped onions, tangerine peels, ginger, salt, and sauce to make a meat filling.Use soybean flour as a wrapper to wrap the meat stuffing into "jiaoer" and steam it in a drawer.Because it becomes translucent after steaming, it is called "crystal horn".

Shatang Ice and Snow is a kind of cold drink. In addition to this one, there are also cold yuanzi and raw submerged papaya, which are quite delicious.

There are barbecue stalls just ahead of you, such as rabbit, roasted pork rind, wild duck, crispy crystal carp, fried squid, pig offal, etc. The aroma really makes your mouth water when you smell it.

Li Duoduo was riding on Cheng Yaojin's neck, looking down from a high position, looking at the beautiful scenery and the flow of people around. She was very happy. Qin Daya and Qin Erya were also with Li Duoduo, so Li Duoduo couldn't I don’t miss Lijiacun anymore.

"Grandpa Hei, Grandma Xian, Duoduo wants to eat this." Li Duoduo pointed at the roast lamb at the barbecue stall in the distance and shouted.

"What to eat?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't see the direction of Li An's fingers because he was riding Li Duoduo on his neck. However, Cheng Chubi could see that when he saw that Li Duoduo wanted to eat roast lamb, he That was raising his hand quickly and said: "I know, I know that Duo Duo wants to eat roast lamb, I'll buy it, I'll buy it."

Then I heard Cheng Chumo shouting to Cheng Yaojin not far away: "Dad's position has been taken, let Duoduo come over, the juggling is about to begin."

"Does Duoduo want to go see the sideshow?" Cheng Yaojin asked with a smile.

"I'm going, I'm going." Li Duoduo replied happily.

"Grandpa Haohei took Duoduo to ride a bull and watch a sideshow." Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, and then he proudly carried Li Duoduo to a restaurant in front.

There is a small square in front of this restaurant, where there will be juggling, ancient costumes, and song and dance performances in the evening. Most of them are song and dance performances, while juggling and ancient costume performances are much less common. However, when there are juggling and ancient costume performances, there are usually a lot of people in the restaurant. The position is hard to come by.

From a seat outside the corridor on the second floor, Qinghe Princess Li Jing looked at Cheng Yaojin's joyful expression below with Li Duoduo on his back and said with some amusement: "Ah Chuliang, this is too doting. The Duke of the Tang Dynasty, Just let a little girl ride on your neck?"

Cheng Chuliang was talking to Meiou, but he stood by the corridor and looked at Li Duoduo below, waving vigorously and shouting: "Duoduo, second father is here!"

Li Duoduo raised her head and waved happily to Cheng Chuliang. Her little eyes narrowed happily like crescent moons and she shouted sweetly: "Second father, Grandpa Hei, Grandma Xian and I are here...!"

"Haha. Okay, come on, come on, I've grabbed a good spot for Duoduo." The second father's words made Cheng Chuliang so happy that his nose almost bubbled with snot.

Li Jing was speechless: "Cheng Chuliang, did you hear what I said?"

Cheng Chuliang felt the displeasure of his princess, and then he turned around and said with a smile: "Who knows? Dad is willing, maybe it's fate. Dad, you also know, I want a granddaughter, but it's a pity that my eldest brother can't live up to the expectations, so he suddenly gave birth to a granddaughter." Three boys.

Dad has always been envious of that little girl from the Hou family. Now that Duoduo is here, it really seems like a gift from God. It’s normal for Dad to like Duoduo so much, because I also like Duoduo very much, and I liked her at first sight. Then the more I look at it, the more I like it. Look at how beautiful Blossom is. When the small eyes smile, they look like crescent moons. "

"Duoduo is indeed cute, and I also like her very much, but you, the Cheng family, really dote on you too much." Li Jing was slightly speechless.Fu Rou laughed at this time: "This must be the fate of the previous life. Maybe the two of them were grandsons in the previous life, but unfortunately they didn't meet each other. Only when they meet again in this life will they be so pampered."

"Maybe!" Li Jing also showed a smile.

"Mother, I like Sister Duoduo. If Sister Duoduo hadn't brought me out, I wouldn't have been able to come out today. This master asked us to each write a poem. Who can write it? Let me type it. I'm okay with boxing, but writing poetry?

I really can't. "Cheng Boxian shook his head bitterly.

Fu Rou looked at her eldest son and showed a helpless smile. She had no choice but to do so. Fu Rou also knew that neither she nor his father had the potential to study, and with the status of his family, there was no need for a stunning genius to emerge within three generations. , It’s good for my eldest son to be like this, and he can still be a simple and honest person.

"Haha!" Li Jing smiled and looked at the other two grandsons of the Cheng family and asked: "Bo Xuan, Bo Han, what lessons do you two have?"

Cheng Boxuan, Cheng Chumo's second son, is seven years old this year, and Cheng Boxan, Cheng Chumo's third son, is six years old. They are cooking. However, they are all eating things that Li Duoduo bought and ate some of, but then stopped eating.

Some people may be surprised that the young gentlemen of the Duke's mansion still eat things that Li Duoduo doesn't eat. They have never eaten anything.

The main thing is that the things Li Duoduo bought are what the children like to eat, such as sweets, cold drinks, snacks and preserves. The children can't get enough of these things, and these things are not from Li Duo at the Cheng Family Military General's House. Duo had eaten the leftovers because she bought too much, and Li Duoduo was full and couldn't eat any more.

Just like this time, Cheng Chubi bought a roast leg of lamb and ran up because Li Duoduo wanted to eat roast lamb. Do you think Li Duoduo can eat a roast leg of lamb by herself?

Let’s eat together!

"We all write, but Duoduo is so good. She said she would write poems for my eldest brother later!" Cheng Boxuan took a bite of the snack in his hand and said without raising his head.

"What. Duoduo can write poetry?" Li Jing looked at Fu Rou in surprise.

Fu Rou smiled and shook her head: "I really don't know about this, Baekhyun, what's going on?"

"Mom, I just can't write poems, and grandpa won't let me go out to play. Later, Duoduo said that writing poems is very simple. She can write a lot of poems. Later, she will help me write one for me, so that I can Go on a business trip, so grandpa lets me come out to play together, so I want to thank Duoduo. It would be great if she lived in the mansion. If grandpa takes Duoduo out to play, we will definitely be able to follow him." Cheng Boxian said with a smile. .

"Is it true that I can write poetry at the age of five?" Li Jing looked surprised.

Fu Rou also smiled slightly and shook her head silently.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin carried Li Duoduo up to the second floor of the restaurant. Cui Xian was on one side and Cheng Chumo was behind him. After coming up, Cheng Yaojin put Li Duoduo down. Cheng Boxian, Cheng Boxuan, Cheng Boxan immediately came to Li Duoduo. Cheng Chubi said with a smile: "Duoduo, look at the roast leg of lamb that Third Dad bought for you. It's still warm and you can eat a piece."

"Eat!" Li Duoduo happily waved his little hands, but just when Cheng Chubi put a piece of mutton on a plate and handed it to Li Duoduo, Li Duoduo handed the piece of mutton to Cheng Yaojin first. He said in front of him: "Grandpa and grandma eat first. After grandparents have eaten, Duoduo can eat, because dad said that the first bite of Duoduo should be given to the elders. This is filial piety."

"Oh my!" For a moment, Cheng Yaojin's eyes were filled with tears. After a while, tears flowed out of his tiger eyes, and then he hugged Li Duoduo lovingly and said, "Grandpa My dear granddaughter, my grandfather did not love you in vain."

Cui Xian touched Li Duoduo's little head movedly.

The three brothers of the Cheng family were also very moved, but Li Jing and Fu Rou both showed ridiculous expressions. They looked at each other speechlessly. It is true that Li Duoduo is worthy of being loved, but he shouldn't cry like this!

It seems that the men of the Cheng family have completely fallen from top to bottom. This is a filial piety. If Li Duoduo gets married in the future, the men of the Cheng family will cry to death.

After thinking about it, Li Jing and Fu Rou both laughed, and at this time, the juggling below began to perform.

"Grandpa, don't be sad, the juggling has started." Cheng Boxian was the first to notice and shouted, "The juggling has started." Li Duoduo quickly turned his head away. Cheng Yaojin stopped crying and directly turned to Li Duoduo. He picked her up and said, "Let's go outside the corridor and have a look, so that my Duoduo can see clearly."

"Great!" Li Duoduo said happily, and the Cheng family walked out to the corridor and happily watched the juggling below.
