Chapter 205

The old man drove the carriage around and stopped. After passing the most crowded section, he began to shuttle smoothly and quickly through the wide streets of Hanyang city.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage arrived at Yexiang street, which was full of tea houses, teahouses, tea shops and so on. The streets are filled with a strong aroma of tea. There are many customers upstream of the street. From time to time, they go into the shops on both sides of the street to choose their favorite tea.

"Lang Jun, what kind of tea would you like to buy, better or ordinary?" the old man slowed down the carriage and asked.

"Where can I buy the best tea?" Liu Yu replied.

"If you want to buy good tea, go to" LONGYE tea house ", the best tea house in Hanyang city. Most dignitaries buy tea there. There are a wide variety of tea. Tea is good, but the price is too expensive." the old man said.

"Old man, go to LONGYE tea house." Liu Yu leaned against the carriage and looked very leisurely.

"Xu ~ ~" the old man pulled the reins and the carriage stopped in front of an exquisite tea house. The door of the tea house was spacious and connected with more than ten shops. There was a dazzling array of colorful tea leaves.

Liu Yu gave the old man five Liang silver as a deposit and asked him to wait outside the store. Liu Yu decided to pack the old man's carriage.

Liu Yu entered LONGYE tea house. Although the waiter introduced many famous teas from all over the world, they couldn't get into his eyes. Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the tea house personally came forward to recommend Liu Yu. After talking, Liu Yu took out a thousand Liang silver notes and was invited to the elegant room on the third floor. The shopkeeper of the tea house asked Liu Yupin to take three kinds of famous tea from the town store and brew them one by one.

Liu Yu finally chose a famous tea named "Longyan Hongpao" from the three famous teas. The tea is green and brown in color, and the green leaves are inlaid with red edges. After brewing, the soup is orange and bright, the leaves are red and green, and the aroma is fragrant. After drinking a mouthful of Shengjin, the aftertaste is lingering.

Liu Yu was carrying tens of thousands of taels of silver. I wanted to buy more, but the output of "Longyan red robe" was low, and the inventory of LONGYE tea house was not much. The tea house sold Liu Yu five bags of hardbound "Longyan red robe", which cost 3000 taels of silver.

After coming out of LONGYE tea house, it was still early. Liu Yu sat in the old man's carriage and strolled around the busy streets of Hanyang city. He bought some fruits, dried meat and other food. He continued on his way tomorrow. Liu Yu didn't want to eat the coarse grain pancakes again.

The old man is very talkative. From the chat, Liu Yu learned that the old man's surname is Wang. He is seventy-three years old. He works all year round, has a strong body and looks very energetic.

Old man Wang is a native of Hanyang city. His wife died of illness. There are two sons and one daughter in the family. The eldest son has married, divided the family, and his daughter has married.

The youngest son of old man Wang is a scholar named "Wang Bo". He is in his early twenties and has not married yet. He was admitted to the "child student" last year, but he was very happy. The college teacher praised his second son Wang Bo for his excellent articles and poems. He just needs to study hard and take the college examination next year. Maybe he can be a high school scholar.

Old man Wang gets up early and gets up late. He drives a simple carriage pulled by two old horses to look for work in Hanyang city. All the money he earns is used to support his youngest son's studies in the college. His daily paper, ink, pen and inkstone, food and drink are not small expenses.

Old man Wang lived frugally and had a very hard life, but he was full of energy and had fun all day. Old man Wang has always been looking forward to Wang Bo's being admitted to the scholar's examination and glorifying his family. If the Wang family can produce an official, he will be willing to die even if he is tired.

"Wang Lao, don't stroll, send it to the Taoist temple next time!" Liu Yu said when she saw that it was getting dark.

"Lang Jun, are you going to the Taoist temple at this time? It's time to declare the time. The Taoist temple is closing. Where does the childe settle? The old man can take you back directly!" said the old man, puzzled.

"Oh! There are relatives still in the Taoist temple!" old man Wang continued.

Liu Yu smiled and didn't speak. Old man Wang took it as his acquiescence and waved the reins to speed up the carriage. The road back to the Taoist temple is still very crowded, but it is much better than noon. Most of them are returning pilgrims.

Soon, the carriage returned to the square of Hanyang Taoist temple, which was crowded and noisy.

"Lang Jun, you go to pick up people. The old man is waiting here. He can't lose his things in the carriage." old man Wang said heartily when he saw Liu Yu take out the dried meat he bought in the afternoon from the carriage.

Liu Yu smiled, took off the storage bag hanging around her waist, used her magic to make it bigger, took out the food from the carriage one by one and put it into the storage bag the size of a rice bag.

"Lang Jun, you..." old man Wang widened his eyes and couldn't speak for a moment.

"Thank you today, Mr. Wang. This is my heart." Liu Yu took out a hundred Liang silver note, handed it to Mr. Wang and said.

"This, this can't be used, it can't be used." old man Wang quickly dodged.

"It's like congratulating brother Wang in advance for the college entrance examination." Liu Yu directly stuffed the silver ticket into old man Wang and said with a smile.

"It's a real person who has gained the Tao!" old man Wang said with emotion as he watched Liu Yu step into the Taoist temple.

Old man Wang always thought Liu Yu was a rich childe and came to Hanyang city to play.

After an afternoon of contact, I felt that the rich childe was gentle and generous. I thought Liu Yuding was a famous scholar.

Until Liu Yu finally took out the magical fairy bag, he realized that Liu Yu was a immortal in the Taoist temple.

Liu Yu returned to the wing room of the Taoist temple. After resting for half an hour, someone called and followed everyone to the back door of the Taoist temple.

There is a row of tall and gorgeous carriages outside the door. Each carriage is pulled by four good horses of pure color. The carriage is covered with red silk on all sides, the roof is inlaid with gold and jade, and there are two curtains, one pearl hanging curtain and one white silk hanging curtain. The curtain surface is embroidered with a purple peony.

Purple peony is the national flower of the state of Yue, symbolizing the well-being of the rich country. Liu Yu also knew it not long ago. When wandering the streets in the afternoon, this flower was used to decorate the walls, doors and windows, clothes and other corners. Liu Yu was curious to ask old man Wang questions before he knew the significance of purple peony.

The carriage is spacious, with a soft red carpet at the bottom, a small wooden table in the middle, a tea set and a small incense burner. The incense burner is floating with a faint fragrance of flowers. The tribute tea "Tieguanyin" is also made in the white jade teapot, which is very luxurious.

When all the people arrived, the carriage came to the door in turn. The coachman's deputy opened the curtain. Each carriage took only five people. Soon, everyone had taken the carriage.

Dozens of royal guards, wearing armored horses and gold bright light armor, opened the way in front of the battle. More than a dozen carriages, connected end to end, moved forward slowly. On both sides of the carriage, hundreds of forbidden infantry dressed in silver bell armour, armed with red cherry long guns, lined up to protect the convoy in the middle and trotted forward with the convoy.

More than ten purple peony carriages, surrounded by many royal forbidden troops, marched towards the imperial palace. Pedestrians in the street hurried out of the way, stood on both sides, pointed at the carriages and whispered to each other. Such a big formation is rare in ordinary days.
