After walking non-stop for half a month, Chu Qingyan felt that the whole person was about to be scattered by the carriage, and his mother occasionally lightly shrugged his shoulders. Fortunately, my father thought it was fun to go upside down.
It was just that Chu Qingyan had a faint uneasiness in her heart. This lady Li and her party went through all the storms and hardships, and never even took a break, and desperately went to Kyoto. This made her a little bit strange. The idea of going to the Hongmen Banquet made her tremble.
At this moment, the carriage stopped, Chu Qingyan raised his eyebrows incomprehensibly, and then heard the sound of the horseshoe approaching, Chu Qingyan lifted the curtain, and saw Wang Tingli immediately saw her head out, and said immediately "Miss Nine, after passing this hill today, you will be in Kyoto, and the slave will come and tell you."
Chu Qingyan nodded, then lowered the curtain.
Wang Ting saw that Miss Jiu was always cold and indifferent, and said very few words. He thought that this was a little girl in the country who did not understand etiquette, but during this period of contact, he found that Miss Jiu didn't talk much, but every time she spoke, It's a sharp shot, it's easy to advance and retreat. It's not like growing up in the mountains. Take the example of Fang Cai's action. Although she didn't speak, the bright and solitary look has made him a man who has been a man for more than 20 years. With a little fear, Wang Ting thought about it. Although Miss Jiu's family returned to Chu's house can be said to be more fierce and less fortunate, but the so-called negative Thai came, maybe Miss Jiu was flying on a branch to become a phoenix, he could not be as rude as before, Anyway, you're more polite, and you won't lose a piece of meat. In the event that one person can get the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven, he can also have a good future.
So Wang Ting made up his mind not to run this family secretly and politely like Mrs. Li.
Chu Qingyan didn't know that his inadvertent behavior would bring such an effect. Although Wang Ting was diligent with himself a lot, which made her a little confused, all her thoughts were on the upcoming family meeting tomorrow.
At the beginning, Dad served as a soldier to fight against Guangmen. They regarded Dad as a hero of the family, but when Dad defeated and was blamed by the people, they did not stand in front of Dad to protect him, but instead drove the seriously injured Dad out of Chu's house. With her delicate mother and her under two years old.
This is the icing on the cake.
Chu Qingyan withdrew his thoughts, and turned to look at the tired and dozing mother and his father with eyes wide open. He couldn't stop the father who was about to pull his mother's long hair, and scared him with a fright.
"Dad, my mother is tired. If you wake her up, your daughter will ignore you."
Father Chu immediately withdrew, spit out his tongue at his daughter, and sat down obediently, looking at her naively, "Cai Cai, only that Malaysian face said that it is almost to Kyoto, does it mean that I can soon See the scallions upside down? "
Malaysian face? Chu Qingyan couldn't help laughing, the nickname that Dad gave to Wang Ting was quite appropriate, but after hearing the next sentence, the smile on his face froze, thinking that Dad hadn't talked about Zilian for so long It should have been left behind. Where did I think he mentioned it again at this time, she suddenly didn't know what to answer.
"That, that ..."
Unaware of her daughter's embarrassed expression, Chu's father looked down with longing expression, "Insert the onion must have been weaving a net waiting for me, and I will take you to fish together!"
Chu Qingyan could not help but twitched his lips, hoping that Dad would not be disappointed.
The sunset rose again, and the day passed again, and Chu Qingyan and others have arrived in Xixuan country Kyoto.
"Master, Madam, you can go to our house after crossing this street." Wang Ting said on a horse.
Chu Qingyan had already opened the car curtain when he entered the city, admiring the most lively and prosperous capital of Xixuan Kingdom, which is indeed Kyoto. Whether it is a person walking on the road or a street vendor, it gives people a sense of disappointment. The same feeling, just like her summer trip to Greater Shanghai, but when she was in this quaint and lively ancient capital, she finally accepted that she really came to this country drowned in the river of history over a thousand years fact.
The dazzling shop reminded her of the modern version of Sanfang Qixiang, but the building in front of her gave her a real visual impact, instead of imagining how ancient people lived on tiptoes across the time, because it was so real Is happening.
Looking back, she turned to see the excitement in her mother's eyes and the curiosity on her father's face. She suddenly felt that maybe the decision to come to Kyoto was right.
The more the road goes, the more secluded, and the flow of people becomes more and more scarce. Chu Qingyan understands that the richer the family, the cleaner the place to live.
Chu Qingyan looked at the surrounding environment and comforted herself with this reason, but the more she went on, the more she couldn't calm herself to deceive herself.
Weeds, broken tiles, mottled door walls, potty ground ...
Is this definitely a rich area? Should be considered a slum?
When the carriage passed an alley, many beggars swarmed up, stopped the carriage to ask for something to eat, and the female dependents were scared to hide in the carriage. Wang Ting and other crickets immediately led someone to drive them, and then the road was normal again.
Chu mother patted her breast, and she was shocked and unsure. "It was very bustling here ten years ago. Why is it so desolate now?"
After listening to the words of his mother, Chu Qingyan could not help asking, "Mother, what was it like here ten years ago?"
As soon as she mentioned the past, Chu ’s eyes became glorious. She took her daughter ’s hand and recalled, “It used to be called General Street here. Everyone has been a general. There are many people coming and going. It ’s very lively. People Are proud to be able to live here, only later-- "
In the end, Chu mother's expression faded. "It was just that your father's defeat and the entire army were annihilated. Many of the sacrificed generals came from this street. Afterwards, the family members could not accept the condemnation of the people afterwards. It was frustrated, moved, scattered, and it became more and more depressed. "
"But my daughter remembers that our Chu family was a clerk, how could they live here?" Chu Qingyan wondered.
Chu mother heard the words and sighed, "The Chu family has never been a civil servant for many years, and will gradually decline. Until your father became famous after the war, he was favored by the Holy Father, and your father was given a house. The Chu family moved here."
"What? Niangqin means that the Chu family who is going to be actually is Dad's house?" Chu Qing's eyes widened.
Chu mother nodded in sorrow.
Chu Qingyan was instantly upset. It turned out that the family of three was occupied by the dove and then went out! Why is she angry?
Then she wants to see this faceless family!
