Early the next morning, while Zhou Jun was still asleep, he heard a sound of urging.
Opening his eyes hazily, Zhou Jun saw Hua Yue, neatly dressed, standing in front of his bed.
Just listen to Hua Yue say: "It's past midnight, how long do you want to sleep?"
Seeing the expression on Huayue's face, Zhou Jun knew that she was anxious to go out, so he struggled to get up from the bed.
After washing up for a while, Zhou Jun was still feeling dazed, but Hua Yue had already brought breakfast from the dining room.
Looking at the biscuits and noodle porridge in the food box, Zhou Jun scratched his head and said, "Take these back to the dining room."
Huayue: "You don't want to eat?"
Zhou Jun: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat on the street today!"
Hua Yue's eyes lit up, and she ran towards the dining room carrying the food box.
After a while, Hua Yue came back.
Zhou Jun took her to the main entrance of the hall and asked the servant to prepare the horse.
Luo Sanniang got up early for a walk and saw Zhou Jun and Hua Yue together. She couldn't help but ask: "Jun'er, what are you...?"
Zhou Jun: "Auntie, I'm going to Shengyefang today. I'll bring Hua Yue with me so I can have a helper."
Luo Sanniang was a little worried: "Take her out, nothing will happen, right? She was... hmm a few days ago? What's going on?"
When Luo Sanniang saw Huayue's true appearance, her eyes widened suddenly and she asked in disbelief: "What's on your body and on your face?!"
Zhou Jun took the horse rein handed by his servant and said to Luo Sanniang: "Hua Yue's illness suddenly recovered. Maybe it's a blessing from our family's good deeds."
Luo Sanniang quickly recited the Buddha's name.
The horse stopped beside him, and Zhou Jun wanted to hold Hua Yue up and let her get on the horse first.
Unexpectedly, this girl was so strong that she grabbed the saddle with both hands, stepped on the stirrup with her right foot, turned over with a kite, and landed directly on the horse's back.
After sitting firmly, Huayue pulled the reins of the horse to steady it, and then patted the empty space behind him, signaling Zhou Jun to come up too.
Zhou Jun laughed and said: "Have you ever seen a man who shared the same inheritance as a woman and let the woman control the reins?"
Huayue responded bitterly, put down the reins of the horse, and sat back a little, leaving room for Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun got on his horse, pulled the reins, and led Hua Yue towards the door.
Luo Sanniang said beforehand: "When you take her out, you must pay attention to the occasion and don't bring shame on the Zhou family."
Zhou Jun looked embarrassed when he heard this.
Daqing Luo Sanniang thought that she was going out with Hua Yue to find a place to hang out.
Quickly urging the horses to come to the street, Zhou Jun passed through the square gate and rode all the way towards the West Market.
Arriving at the food street on the south side of the West Market, Zhou Jun looked around and saw that it looked a bit like the food street in the city in his previous life.
On both sides of the straight and wide street, shops of various styles are neatly arranged, and the variety of food with different flavors is dazzling.
Xiaojia wontons are delicious and the soup is fat but not greasy. Drain the soup and you can even use it directly to make tea.
Yujia Zongzi is made from glutinous rice and jujube. It is as white as jade and leaves a fragrant aroma between your teeth after you take a bite.
Camel hump roasting is to cut the camel hump into thin slices and add various spicy condiments. It tastes delicious after being cooked.
In addition, there are also golden milk cakes, crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, gold and silver flower-studded slices, longevity porridge, Jianfengxiao, precious pink, royal yellow queen rice, jade dew dumplings, Bafang cold food cakes and so on.
Hua Yue had never seen so many delicacies before. He walked around and looked around, but he didn't know which one he should eat first.
Zhou Jun led the horse and walked along the street, buying some in every shop.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Jun and Hua Yue's hands were full of food, and even the horses' sacks were filled to the brim.
Finding a wine shop with relatively few people, Zhou Jun stopped at the door, entered the shop, asked for some fruit wine, and put the food on the table.
Hua Yue was not polite, picked up the food and started eating directly.
While eating, she said: "Chang'an is such a good place, there are so many delicious foods."
Zhou Jun glanced at her with a smile, then looked at the table full of food, feeling a little regretful.
In his previous life, his favorite food was pork knuckle, tenderloin, dongpo pork, pig ears and other snacks.
However, when I came to Datang, I basically had nothing to do with pork.
Because pork is called evil meat, people in the Tang Dynasty thought it contained cold poison, and eating it might cause hidden diseases.
In addition, there are many barbarians in Chang'an City, and many religions prohibit the eating of pork. Therefore, if you want to eat it, you can only go to the small rural villages outside the city to see it for sale.
Seeing Huayue eating happily, Zhou Jun drank the fruit wine sent by the store and ate the snacks he bought.
The diners at the next table were talking about something, and Zhou Jun also listened to a few words.
Someone said: "Pirates came from the east, and the sails were like weaving. I heard that many people were plundered, and the saint was very angry when he heard about it."
Someone else said: "The singer Xu Hezi's voice has spread throughout the country. Those who are happy are brave and those who are sad are heartbroken. I heard that he will enter the palace next month."
Zhou Jun listened boredly, turned around and saw Hua Yue stopped moving and looking into the distance, lost in thought.
Zhou Jun followed her line of sight and found a mosque in the distance outside the market. The golden tiles on the dome were particularly eye-catching.
"Want to go?"
Hearing Zhou Jun's question, Huayue looked over, hesitated for a while, shook her head and said: "I won't go, business is more important."
The two ate for a while, packed up the remaining food, put it back on the horse, and then rode slowly in the direction of Pang Mansion.
Arriving at the gate of Pang Mansion, Zhou Jun got off his horse, walked to the gatehouse, and reported his intention to Yu Fu.
Yu Fu put away the wine bottle and said to Zhou Jun: "It's a coincidence that Mr. Pang is here. If it's later, I'm afraid Mr. Pang will go out."
Zhou Jun: "Going out?"
When Yu Fu saw Hua Yue dodging behind Zhou Jun, he couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome girl."
After boasting, Yu Fu nodded again: "Young Master, just go in, Mr. Pang is in the hall."
After walking through the door with Hua Yue, passing through the front hall, and arriving at the door of the central hall, Zhou Jun saw a group of servants busy moving out the packed boxes.
Surprised, Zhou Jun walked up to Mr. Pang who was sitting in the middle hall. He first sang "Oi" and then asked, "Mr. Pang, are you going to... move?"
Pang Zhonghe shook his head and said: "Our family has a house in Bachuan, and we plan to move there for a few days."
Zhou Jun was a little confused. He lived well in Shengyefang, so why did he move to Bachuan, which is more than ten kilometers away from Chang'an?
Reading doubts from Zhou Jun's expression, Pang Zhonghe said: "I have been practicing music with Yuping for the past two days. Maybe I have forgotten myself and the time."
"It was Yuping who reminded me that this is Shengyefang, and the neighbors are all dignitaries. They are always playing and singing, which will inevitably disturb others."
"So, I remembered that there was still a house in Bachuan, so I thought about moving there and staying there for a couple of days, so that no one would say anything else."
It turned out that I was worried that practicing piano would disturb the people.
Zhou Jun thought to himself that living in Shengyefang and looking at the scenery is actually troublesome.
It is indeed a good idea to move to Bachuan to practice piano.
Pang Zhonghe looked at Zhou Jun up and down, and said, "Zhou Jun, how many days will you be free?"
Zhou Jun subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Pang Zhonghe added: "Since you have time, why not come with me to stay in Bachuan for a few days?"
Zhou Jun was stunned.
Leave Chang'an and live in Bachuan?
Seeing that Mr. Pang was looking at him, Zhou Jun couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
