The next day, Xue Lang didn't get up until the sun went up. He got up, washed and ate breakfast. After breakfast, he picked up the gift he had prepared, called Jiang Lin, who had been walking around the house for a whole morning, and set out to his father-in-law's house -
the father-in-law of Jiang Lin was a doctor of mathematics in the Imperial College. The house is not in the inner city, but in the outer city.
It is not easy to live in Chang'an. This sentence is not empty talk, not all officials can afford to live in Chang'an City, housing difficulties exist not only in modern times, but also in ancient times, or a common phenomenon.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a single dormitory for single officials, but if they brought their families with them, they would not be able to live there. If you have a royal residence or a well-off family, you can buy a ready-made residence or buy land to build a house. If the economic conditions are poor, those who live in humble houses are not without them.
Yao Chong, Prime Minister of Xuanzong, was like this. Poor economic conditions, only in the outskirts of the city to buy land to build a house, but suburban work is not convenient, so in the inner city near the Imperial City Inn long-term package of a room.
Later, Xuanzong learned that first, he was given a room in the Sifang hall, where he could live with his wife and children. However, Yao Chong didn't move in because he felt that the house of sifangguan was so big that he didn't dare to live in it. After that, Xuanzong paid him to build a mansion in xinghuafang, which was the origin of Yao chongzhai.
Jiang Lin's father-in-law can have a residence in the outer city, which is due to the good economic conditions of his family. Think of the famous poet Bai Juyi, who has worked in Chang'an for ten years and saved enough money to buy a house in Chang'an. Finally, I bought a house in Weinan, the satellite city of Chang'an. I used to live on my holiday. When I went to work, I rented a house in Chang'an for a long time, just like many modern office workers who can't afford to buy a house in Beijing but can only buy a house around.
However, even with such good conditions, Dr. Su did not repent of his marriage, and he still kept his engagement. When Jiang came to the door, he could be regarded as a real person. If it wasn't for Lu, I don't think there would be any ups and downs. My daughter would have been waiting.
When Xue Lang ordered lotus fragrance to prepare a gift, it was three times thicker than usual. At one time, he expressed his affinity with Jiang Lin, and the other was to express his admiration for Dr. su.
It's not that he doesn't want to prepare heavy gifts. However, an aunt once taught him that he should not give too expensive gifts when communicating with relatives and friends. As the saying goes, gifts that are too expensive should be given back if they are too expensive. If the conditions are poor, it will increase the burden on people. Of course, those who like to take advantage of others are excluded. For those people, you should give them all their property.
Both Xue Lang and Jiang Lin changed their new clothes. Seeing that the time was almost the same, they asked people to prepare their carriages for going out. Jiang Lin said, "big brother, can you take them with you?"
Xue Lang doubts asked a: "why?"
When baozi heard someone call his name, he ran over cleverly, swinging his tail and circling Xue Lang. Jiang Lin said with a smile: "the story of elder brother and spirit dog has been spread all over Chang'an. I don't know how to see the spirit dog. The mother-in-law and mother-in-law of the younger brother have also heard about it. Relying on the affinity between the younger brother and the elder brother, they want to have a look at the spirit dog. My mother-in-law said that if you can entertain the spirit dog for a meal, it will be a honor. "
Xue Lang laughed: "good! Then take the steamed stuffed buns and go to talk to my aunt in law. "
As soon as the steamed bun heard that he wanted to take him out to play, he gave a joyful cry, and the one who wagged his tail called a joy. It was needless to say that he went to put the food basin in his backpack, spread the dog's backpack on the ground, put his two front paws into it, and then gave the owner a "Wang" sound, a look of anxious to go out.
Xue Lang was speechless. Didn't he seldom take out Sahuan after he arrived in Chang'an? The county magistrate is also big enough for dogs to have fun. How can steamed stuffed buns look like they are in a hurry!
"Woof!"
I still dislike the slow action of the host. Xue Lang was speechless and asked Heaven, so he had to go over and say, "OK, OK, I'll start right away. What's the hurry?"
Put the four dogs' food pots in backpacks, put them on their backs, and then get on the carriage together and set out towards the outer city -
when Xue Lang goes out, the guards will naturally follow. Jiang Lin rode a horse, and Xue Lang rode in a carriage. In addition to the escort driving, the rest of them rode behind.
All the way out of the inner city, to the scope of the outer city, Jiang Lin said: "yuezhang's family resources are limited, the house bought in Huaiyuan square, elder brother and follow me."
Xue Lang answered, and Jiang Lin led the way in front of him.
At that time, although Chang'an city had been developed over the past dynasties, it was still very empty, with a vast area and few people. There was no scene of a million permanent residents in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
Even shengdaofang, which is close to the northwest city gate, is a desolate place with no people. There are even records of tigers in Changshou square in the southwest.
Huaiyuan square is between Xishi and Changshou square, which is really a remote place. However, it is good that a doctor of mathematics in Taixue can afford to buy a house in Chang'an city.
There is a wide street between Lifang and Lifang. Lifang is surrounded by high and thick earth rammed walls. On both sides of the street, there are side ditches for drainage. The square wall is more than one meter away from the side ditch, nearly two meters away.
Each Lifang has its own gate. Except for the few near the Imperial City, which only open the East-West gate, not the North-South gate, the rest have four gates in the southeast and northwest. There are officials on duty at the gate of the square. They open the door at sunrise and close the door at sunset. There is a curfew on the street outside the square. If you dare to walk outside in the dark, if you are caught by Jin Wuwei and spanked, don't cry for injustice. According to the law, "those who commit the night will be punished by twenty."In addition to residential buildings, there are also shops in Lifang. There is a curfew outside, but inside it, of course, it's impossible to think about a modern night life, which conflicts with the work and rest habits of the ancients.
Xue Lang felt that this was also very good. At least, the city's appearance and traffic were guaranteed. In ancient times, traveling depended on carriages and horses. If you could set up stalls on both sides of the street, it would have a great influence.
Speaking of it, although Xue Lang lived in xingdaofang, he never went out for a walk. There are several workshops near the Imperial City, where princes and nobles live. The mansions of princes and nobles occupy a large area. Apart from the official houses, there is no place for private shops. For example, Princess Pingyang, who is favored and has made great contributions to her life, occupies most of the Li Fang's residence.
originally, most of the princess's residence was concentrated in chongrenfang. If the area of Pingyang princess's residence was too large, the sage gave it to Guanglu Fang. In addition to the residence of Princess Pingyang, the whole Guanglu square was also the residence of Xiao Xuan. These two alone occupied the whole Guanglu square.
"Wang Wu!"
Soya bean milk suddenly called, while calling, but also back to bite ass! This action --
Xue Lang asked tentatively, "do you want small or large soymilk?"
"Woof!"
Soya bean milk called, the former Fu low, two claws covered the face, this is also embarrassed!
Xue Lang laughed: "OK, OK, it's convenient for you to go down!"
Stop the carriage and let the soymilk go. Soybean milk is not big now, jumping off the wagon is no problem. Soymilk seems to be a little shy. He runs to the corner where Xue Lang and his group of people can't see.
Xue Lang is not at ease, told a: "soybean milk, don't run far away! Be careful to bump into you rashly
"Bark!"
Soymilk should be a sound, as if to hear. Xue Lang was not at ease. He was waiting to get off the carriage. Jiang Lin said, "elder brother, don't come down. I'll go and have a look."
With that, he drove his horse over. Xue Lang didn't get down in the carriage.
Jiang Lin had not been a long time ago when he heard a cry coming from the street --
"there is a wolf! Somebody shoot
