Chapter 69

Grandma Liu's words about entering the Grand View Garden had been heard countless times in previous lives. When he entered Chang'an City, he completely understood what this sentence meant. Because he entered Chang'an City, he should have the same mentality as grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

It's not just that the eyes are not enough, it's not just all kinds of shock, but also the sense of smallness that can't be suppressed from the heart. Anyone who stands in the big city of Chang'an will feel that he is just a grain of dust. A city is so big that no matter which direction you look, you can't see the edge. No matter which corner you look, it is all prosperous. Then the city has become an immortal legend.

Those Chinese and foreign cities recorded in previous historical books, such as ancient Rome, Baghdad, and Constantinople, the imperial capital of Byzantium. Compared with Chang'an in front of Fang Xie's eyes, these famous cities are like the ratio of weeds to giant trees. The ratio of firefly to bright moon.

What surprised Fang Xie most was not the vastness and prosperity of the imperial capital, nor the solemn and majestic buildings in the imperial capital, nor the beautiful women in bold clothes on the street, but the fact that red tea moves had real estate in the imperial capital!

Moreover, on the most prosperous Minghua street in the imperial capital, there is a magnificent three storey wooden building. The two front and rear courtyards occupy no less than ten mu of land in Chang'an, which is an inch of land and an inch of gold!

When I looked closer, I found that the wooden building had been covered with dust and the paint had lost its bright color, and the chain lock hanging on the door was full of rust. I don't know how many years it has dutifully sealed the wooden building and how much wind and rain it has experienced. Or, like people, what kind of mission they bear.

When the team of red tea moves stopped in front of the wooden building, and the Xi thrush with a dignified and sad expression stood in front of the iron lock door, Fang Xie felt that the surrounding atmosphere had changed in a trance. He looked around subconsciously and suddenly found that the street became quiet, and everyone focused on Xi thrush.

Businessmen from nearby stores also poured out and looked at the expression of red tea.

Fang Xie doesn't know what this expression means, but he is now sure that the tea move must have had a glorious past in the imperial capital.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted.

"Tea calls back Chang'an!"

"Tea recruit back!"

With this cry, the whole street even fell into boiling. The crowd began to crowd here, especially all the men, with an excited glow in their eyes. The most strange thing for Fang Xie is that although the women who watched did not shout together, there was no slightest disgust in their eyes.

How mysterious and glorious is the past of a song and dance company that will cause such a warm response from the most proud imperial people in the Sui Dynasty?

"There's something you don't know."

Xiaodingdian sniffed proudly, arched the arch side with his shoulder and explained: "in those days, the tea move was so famous in the imperial capital Chang'an that you couldn't even think of it. When the tea move opened in Chang'an city more than 11 years ago, do you know what kind of big people were present to congratulate?"

She proudly raised her small round jaw, broke her fingers and said: "The great scholar of Shuhua Pavilion, the minister Zuo pushe, the ministers of various ministries, the chamberlains, the selfless Dali Temple secretary, and even the high, cold and arrogant all supervise the imperial censor. All the dignitaries in the imperial capital arrived and gave gifts by hand. Even the empress sent someone to send a screen with four handwritten inscriptions written on it."

The pride on Xiaoding's face can't be pretended. It's very real.

"Eleven years ago?"

Fang Xie frowned slightly and asked, "didn't you have you in the tea move at that time?"

Xiaoding looked a little white and said seriously: "No matter if there is me or not, I am now a member of the red tea movement. None of the girls in the building are those who were 11 years ago. But look, is the pride on their faces false? No matter when we joined the red tea movement, we should be proud of the glory of the red tea movement. You know, even if the princes and nobles wanted it at that time If the girls don't want to dance, the first and second grade officials are not qualified to let them dance. "

"Why haven't you talked about such a glorious and proud past?"

"Aunt Xi said that as long as you don't go back to Chang'an one day, don't mention the past. The glory of the past is only the past after all. She also said that as long as red tea moves back to Chang'an, you must find the glory of 11 years ago."

"Aunt Xi has great courage. As long as she comes back, those dignitaries will flock as much as they did 11 years ago."

Fang Xie couldn't help but praise.

Xiaoding looked slightly gloomy and murmured: "The reason why the red tea move has such a great face in the imperial capital is not that Aunt Xi has good hands and eyes. It is... The original owner of the red tea move is a person who is below one person and above ten thousand people in the imperial capital. Only a person like him can make those adults who are above the top willing to send gifts. Only a person like him can make a song and dance company in the imperial capital identity Detachment. "

"Below one person, above ten thousand..."

Fang Xie couldn't help repeating it, and then a person's name suddenly appeared in his mind.

So he was surprised and asked, "how could a person like him open a song and dance shop? And... He disappeared ten years ago. Why did the tea move appear in fan Gu a few years after he disappeared?"

"Just because he was the most brilliant figure in the great Sui Dynasty at that time, even the emperor who just ascended the throne respected him, so you should know that people with his status should consider the relationship between himself and the emperor after all. The emperor of the great Sui Dynasty failed to stop him from opening a song and dance shop. He did not enter the court, and his majesty failed to leave him standing in the court The ministers are in the front position. Can anyone understand the free and easy? "

It was not the little one who said this, but the old cripple.

Fang Xie thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "knowing advance and retreat is the greatest blessing."

……

……

The attendants and servants of red tea recruit are cleaning the wooden building, and many people in the neighborhood also come to help. Aunt Xi sent someone to buy fresh fruits, brew fragrant tea and put it aside. A woman who looked so noble and honorable, she also changed her clothes and started with her neighbors.

It's not just her. All the girls of tea moves are cleaning.

Only two people didn't do it together. One was the mysterious candle wick that made people itch occasionally. The other is an old lame man sitting on a stone step drinking.

Of course, Fang Xie and Shen Qing fan didn't help either.

After entering the city, Cui lueshang went to visit the elders of the aristocratic family. Naturally, his origin has many politeness that can not be ignored. Unreliable Xiang qingniu is said to be going to see immortal Xiao of Leshan in the Qing Dynasty, but when he left, his eyes always floated to Shuxiang building on the other side of Chengmen street. The big dog looked for a place to stay and stood under an oleander to see the flowers.

Fang Xie went to a nearby tavern to buy some cooked meat, wrapped it in oil paper and sat next to the old cripple.

"Would you like to have a drink with you?"

He asked somewhat flatteringly.

The old cripple gave him a white look, and magically took a wine glass from his sleeve and handed it to Fang Xie. Fang Xie took it over, poured a cup, looked at the busy crowd and asked, "can you tell me about the past of tea moves?"

"You want to know about that man?"

Asked the old cripple.

Fang Xie nodded and said absently, "how can such an amazing figure suddenly disappear? Although I don't want to admit what the emperor did, I can't find a reasonable explanation."

The old lame man said, "if you let the people of the government listen to this, they will lock you up and put you in prison immediately. In the autumn, you can even chop your head without asking for guilt."

"You are not that kind of person."

Fang Jieshan smiled and said.

The old lame man took a sip of wine, remained silent for a while and said: "Aunt Xi is a loving and righteous woman. Although that person is only her owner and has no close relationship, she left Chang'an to find him alone after hearing that he left Chang'an. Because he has kindness to Aunt Xi, she will repay him... Although aunt Xi didn't know how to repay her kindness at that time, she was looking for that person On the way, aunt Xi met the man in green shirt you saw in fan Gu that day. "

"Fall in love at first sight?"

Fang Xie asked.

The old cripple smiled, but there was some sadness in his smile: "yes, he accompanied her for a month, and then left. This parting is ten years. She changed from looking for one person to looking for two people."

"The red tea move has been popular in Chang'an City, but it has only been open for more than a year. After the owner of the red tea move disappeared, aunt Xi left Chang'an city. Not long after the owner was there, those officials who tried their best to curry favor with the red tea move came and announced that the red tea move was dismissed. So many good girls were expelled from Chang'an city. After so many years, I don't know what happened to those people It's said that some people have fallen into the dust... These are all evil debts. "

"Where were you?"

Fang Xie asked.

"I'm here"

The old cripple nodded.

"You can't stop it?"

Fang Xie asked again.

"Me?"

The old cripple snorted coldly: "What's the use of a strong personal cultivation? Can a person resist an empire? Although the government didn't seal the red tea move at the beginning, it was carrying the oracle of a great man. None of the courtiers who had sent gifts to the red tea move could provoke the great man. They could only watch the red tea move break down. What I hate most is not the coldness of the great man Ruthless. But the indifference of the man sitting in a higher position. From beginning to end, he didn't stand up and say a word for the tea move. "

"If he had said a word, the tea move would not disappear in Chang'an."

Fang Jie sorted out the old lame man's words, and then thought it over carefully. A plot that makes people feel blocked and even disgusting immediately became clear. The more you think about it, the more you feel that the world is dark and cold, and you don't know what to do.

If his speculation is true, then the shame of this conspiracy is enough to nail the man who is now sitting on the throne of supreme power of the great Sui Dynasty to the shame rack forever.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, the old cripple didn't know whether he was slightly drunk or in pain. His eyes became a little blurred. He looked down at the wine gourd in his hand and murmured, "if I had enough courage and didn't fear death, I would kill a few people and poke this out, I was afraid that the man's seat would shake for a while even if I wouldn't lose it."

"It's just a guess, isn't it?"

Fang Xie patted the old cripple on the shoulder and said, "maybe it's not what we think."

"Maybe? Us?"

The lame man smiled and recovered some magic color in his eyes: "then tell me, how do we guess? You only listen to this. If you can guess, I will admit that you are very smart."

"What's the use of admitting that I'm smart? It's no good at all."

"If you can rely on my previous words to speculate everything, whether it's the same as what we speculated, whether it's right or not, as long as it sounds reasonable... I'll tell you that your 24 hands are divided into tendons and bones. If your guess is the same as what we guessed in those years, I'll tell you how to use a knife."

"Stingy!"

Fang Xie skimmed his lips and said, "one-of-a-kind knife... Why don't you say half style?"

"Don't be dissatisfied..."

The old lame man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "the old lame man, I can't learn this Sabre technique if anyone wants to learn it. If I don't like it, the gifted eight grade master knelt down and begged me, I won't teach him either."

When he said this, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he took a look at the people standing under the oleander peach blossom, which was more beautiful than the flower.

Hearing this sentence, Shen qingfan picked it from the corners of his mouth and looked cold and arrogant.
