Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 8: West Market Encounter

   It is not allowed to open shops on the streets of Chang'an. The imperial court has set aside two areas for commercial transactions. These are the eastern and western cities.

   Dongshi is regarded as a domestic market. There are more than two hundred and twenty kinds of commodities operated in the market.

  West City is an international market, also known as the "golden market", with nearly a thousand shops dealing in various commodity transactions. It was the largest international market at that time and the most prosperous international trade.

   Yonglefang, where Li's family lives, is close to the East Market, and quite far from the West Market, and needs to go through five squares. Fortunately, Li Zexuan took a group of people to the West Market in a hurry, and by the way, he could admire the authentic ancient buildings of the Tang Dynasty.

   "Brother, Lan'er is tired from walking."

   Before going too far, Lan Er grabbed Li Zexuan's hand and refused to move forward.

Li Zexuan, who was admiring the ancient buildings on both sides of the road, was speechless, how far he had traveled, and it was less than two miles away. This little girl started to cry tired, but now I can’t care about it. Who makes this my little girl? Well, you should hire a carriage when you go out in the morning.

   "Lan'er insists on it and it will be there soon."

   "No, Lan'er really can't walk anymore."

   Laner said bitterly with a small face.

   "Then, let's walk slowly, and while walking, my brother will tell Lan'er a story, OK?"

   Li Zexuan slowly tempted him. There is no way. There is no horse-drawn carriage in this place. You can't go to the West Market with Lan'er on your back.

   Lan'er heard that her brother was going to tell her a story, she immediately became energetic, her feet were not tired, she straightened up quickly, came over and took her brother's hand and said, "Okay, okay, brother, tell her."

   Li Zexuan smiled slightly, took the little girl’s hand and walked forward slowly, recalling as he walked:

"It is said that a long time ago, the world was divided into Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanfangbuzhou, and Beiju Luzhou. In Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Kingdom, there is a mountain of flowers and fruits, and there is a fairy stone on the mountain. It cracked, and an egg rolled out of the stone. This egg turned into a stone monkey at the sight of the wind. The monkey's eyes shot out golden light and worshiped everywhere.

   The monkey can walk and run. If he is thirsty, he will drink some spring water from the mountain stream. If he is hungry, he will eat some fruit from the mountain. Having fun with the animals in the mountains all day, I had a very happy life. One day, the weather was extremely hot. To avoid the hot weather, the monkeys ran to the mountain stream to take a bath. When they saw the spring water rushing, they walked along the stream to find its source..."

What Li Zexuan intends to tell the little girl is "Journey to the West", which happened to be read countless times when he was a child, and many plots can be remembered clearly, and the story is long, so he can make a long-term serial for the little girl, which will be a long time later. In time, there is no need to worry about how to coax the little girl.

   Of course, it is not possible to tell Lan'er and the others according to the original book. After all, it is the Tang Dynasty and Tang Xuanzang still exists. Li Zexuan decided to change Tang Xuanzang's vest, let's call it Tang Yin, and the relevant place names have also been changed.

   Hey, I don’t know what Tang Bohu would think of "Journey to the West" for Daming a few hundred years later, Li Zexuan thought with such evil fun.

   When talking about the Great Sage Qitian making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and being imprisoned in the gossip furnace by the Supreme Master, the West Market had arrived.

   "Okay, let's stop here today, let's go, brother will take you to the candy man, and take you to juggling."

   Li Zexuan is going to see this ancient bazaar.

   "Ah, is this here?"

   The little girl obviously hadn't heard enough, and she still looked dissatisfied. Behind her, Xiao He, Xiao Xi, Ah Fu, and San Bao were also obviously still unfulfilled, each with regret.

   "This dear friend, wait a minute, dare to ask you which story you told me from before. My sister-in-law likes this story very much."

   suddenly walked out of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy behind him, followed by a six or seven-year-old girl, arching his hands to Li Zexuan.

   In fact, Li Zexuan had long noticed that there were two people behind them following them for a long time. After all, the effort was not given for nothing. As he felt that the two of them were not malicious, he didn't bother to pay attention. The roads went half way up the sky, and he didn't have the right to restrict people where they went, only when they were going to the West Market like himself, but he didn't expect the other party to follow behind. Eavesdropping on the story.

   Li Zexuan swept his eyes lightly towards the young man's queen, and found that there seemed to be a dozen good hands pretending to be pedestrians in the crowd behind him to guard the young man.

   "It's probably a second-generation official to go out and experience life."

   Li Zexuan muttered inwardly. But seeing that young man was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a polite manner, the little girl also looked at him expectantly. Li Zexuan was not too good to be big and plainly offended others, so she also bowed her hands in politeness:

   "I'm afraid that I was disappointed to teach this young man. This is not a novel on the market, but a story made up to coax my little girl."

"Oh."

   The Jinyi boy looked disappointed. In fact, he liked the story quite a bit. He was about to ask for the name and send someone to buy a copy and read it back.

   arches hands again:

   "I respect my brother and great talent. I am afraid that this story will not be made up without the imagination. Little brother Li Gaoming, this is my sister Li Lizhi. I want to make friends with your Excellency. I don't know what you call your Excellency?"

   When I went out, I did not expect to encounter two "Journey to the West" fans, Li Zexuan also looked helpless. Seeing that the young man didn't look like a arrogant and domineering person, he could make friends, so he smiled and said:

   "The little brother False praise is just a silly story. It's hard to make it into the elegant hall. A certain name is Li Zexuan, and his family lives in Changlefang. You have also made a friend."

This young man is the current prince Li Chengqian, his character is brilliant, so he claims to be Li Gaoming is not a deceit, but Li Zexuan was an engineering dog in his previous life, and how can he study the history of the Tang Dynasty so deeply, UU reading www.uukanshu.com naturally does not know. What is Li Chengqian's character?

The little girl is Changle Princess Li Lizhi. She is seven years old this year. She looks like her name. She has a sickly white skin. Although she is only one year older than Lan'er, she is actually much taller than Lan'er. Li Lizhi has suffered from qi disease since childhood, which can be regarded as a genetic disease of their old Li family.

Li Chengqian also watched his little sister staying in the palace all day long and unhappy, so today I brought my little sister to the West Market to relax. I did not expect that I met a teenager who told such an interesting story. I listened to my sister with gusto. When the blood was boiling, suddenly suddenly Only then did Li Chengqian start to talk.

   After the two introduced each other, they chatted with each other a few more words, Li Chengqian said:

   "Brother Ze Xuan, there must be more behind the story just now."

   This young man still remembers "Journey to the West", and Li Zexuan did not expect this "Journey to the West" to be so charming in the Tang Dynasty.

   "Of course, what I just said is just the beginning, and it's still growing in the back."

   Li Chengqian looked happy. After all, he was just a teenager. He said excitedly:

   "The little brother will come home another day, Brother Ze Xuan will continue to give me the rest of the story."

   Li Lizheng has a look of regret. The prince brother can often go out of the palace, but as a princess, she cannot ignore the royal etiquette.

   Li Zexuan agreed, and then separated from Li Chengqian, and took the little girl to go shopping.

   Li Chengqian saw Li Lizhi look melancholy, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on, so he said to Li Lizhi:

   "Little sister, don't worry, I will come back immediately after listening to the story from Li Zexuan and tell the little girl, OK?"

   Li Li's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, and she smiled happily at Li Chengqian:

   "Well, thank you, Brother Prince!"
