The pavilions and pavilions were bustling with people, and Tang Guan, who came out of the palace, felt the prosperity of the divine capital for the first time.

I don’t know which lane I’m going to, but the road is wide and there’s a lot of traffic coming and going.

Tang Guan excitedly looked outside through the car curtain. He remembered that someone once said that Yuhang was not inferior to Chang'an in the world, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that the difference was not even a mile, not to mention the dazzling array of shops around him.

Not to mention the same crowds of people coming and going, in terms of urban construction alone, Chang'an now surpasses any city in the country, or even the entire world.

Looking at the prosperous scene, Tang Guan couldn't help but secretly compare it with later generations. Suddenly he felt that the feasting and feasting he had experienced in his previous life was a kind of bubble-like prosperity. It did not belong to everyone, but to some people. Most people were

Locked in a box and try to survive.

"Hey." Thinking of this, Tang Guan sighed lightly. No wonder China has been so stable for thousands of years. Under the idea of ​​​​Datong, this self-sufficient society is not bad for individuals.

In the case where the overall level of science and technology is not high, this is undoubtedly ahead of the curve, but as the saying goes, the fate of the country is something that cannot be seen or touched. It is an imaginary reference, but it is implemented in reality and is related to the hearts and minds of a country.

If you stop moving forward, you will end up imitating others, and the imitators will always be at a disadvantage.

**There is a saying that goes well: "In a war, it doesn't mean you have one more cannon or one more plane than me, you will definitely win."

Fighting and fighting are two completely different concepts. The advancement of weapons is not the key to victory, but the luck of a country and the people of a country. This is especially true in the era of cold weapons. Those who are violent are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of their lives.

Yes, the side with the mentality of killing one without losing money and killing two with a sure profit will always win.

Just like the original Jurchens who conquered three dynasties, and like the Mongolian cavalry that crossed two continents, they may not necessarily be well-equipped, they are even at an extreme disadvantage compared to their opponents, but they have achieved national destiny, their hearts are united, and they are willing to risk their lives.

.

Desperate people are not scary, but life-seeking people are scary. After all, there is a word "death" in the word "death", which means that if you can avoid death, it is better not to die. The life-seeking people just use life as a toy, and they will die if they don't try to die.

Chen Yunsheng saw that Tang Guan was thinking secretly, thinking that he was still thinking about the affairs of the court, so he said: "Qu Bing, I will go to court tomorrow morning, and I must stop messing around."

Tang Guan nodded lightly when he heard this. Chen Yunsheng was a person who wanted stability. He never thought about anything exciting. He just wanted to be safe and stable. When he entered the official career, he also wanted to do something so that he could support his family.

But when he heard this, Tang Guan's heart moved. He had been with Chen Yunsheng for so long and rarely heard him talk about his family affairs. He asked, "Uncle, I'd like to ask you a question."

Chen Yunsheng raised his head when he heard this and said: "Ask"

"Uncle, do you have any brothers or sisters in your family?"

Chen Yunsheng was stunned when he heard this, and then his face darkened.

Upon seeing this, Tang Guan realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, so he immediately shut up and thought to himself: "Could this be an old bachelor?"

Fortunately, Chen Yunsheng was gloomy for a moment and said: "It's normal for you not to know. You still don't remember the year Jie'er died."

Tang Guan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to get such an answer.

Seeing this, Chen Yunsheng added: "It took me a long time to get a child from you, Yuanwai Tang, but I had a son much earlier than your father. I originally had brothers of yours named Shaojie in the family. I hadn't been promoted to an official position at that time, so I had to

Send him into the army..."

Chen Yunsheng paused when he said this, as if it brought back sad memories. When he heard the word "junzhong", Tang Guan had an idea in his mind and comforted him: "Uncle, I'm sorry, Qu Bing is too talkative."

Chen Yunsheng waved his hand and said: "No problem."

Then he said no more and Tang Guan remained silent.

While the two were talking, they yelled at the handlebars: "Master, it's going to rain. Sit tighter and I'll drive the car faster."

Chen Yunsheng was secretly sad and ignored him. Tang Guan responded and immediately felt that the car was going faster.

"boom!"

Just as I was speeding up, a muffled thunder sounded, and the spring thunder exploded, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. This is what thunderstorms are like, coming very fast and fiercely, and soon the sound of pouring rain came.

Tang Guan opened the curtain and looked around, only to see pedestrians scattered in a group on the road. The road was a little wider, and some people were running quickly nearby with their sleeves and robes to protect themselves from the rain.

"Good rain!" Although Tang Guan lives in Yuhang, he has never seen such heavy rain since arriving. He only saw the drizzle the night before, which was different from the continuous hazy drizzle.

It was like a heavy downpour. If this was to happen in future generations, it would definitely leave traces of sludge on the ground. However, Tang Guan was surprised to find that after the rainwater fell to the ground, it seeped into the stone path and flowed in one direction.

"Sewer?" Tang Guan touched his chin lightly and looked at this scene. He clearly remembered the time in his previous life when his grandfather took him to the hospital to see a doctor in heavy rain. The ground was full of water. In China, which was so developed in all aspects, a city would be destroyed when it rained.

It became an aquarium.

But when he saw such a heavy rain falling on the street without any water flowing down, Tang Guan realized for the first time that this city was not only about its grandeur on the outside, but also about the secrets hidden in the dark.

“To see how a city is, a rain is enough.”

"The sewer is the conscience of a city." Tang Guan was familiar with these words, but it was only now that he saw it with his own eyes that he realized it.

"Xu~"

"Master! We're here, come down!"

It was still raining heavily outside, and Handlebar-style shouted while wearing the raincoat he always kept by his side.

Chen Yunsheng came to his senses, pulled up the cart of Tang Guan's men, and ran quickly into the house.

At this time, the door of a room in the house was opened, and a figure stood bored in the corridor. When he saw two figures, one large and one small, running towards him, he smiled and said, "You are finally back!"

This person was Xiao Qi. When he woke up, he saw that Tang Guan and Chen Yunsheng were nowhere to be seen. Remembering his previous instructions, he had been waiting patiently outside the door. The hour had passed, and they had spent enough time each time.

Quite a few hours.

Fortunately, the distance was not far. The two of them only wet their clothes a little and stood on the corridor. Tang Guan patted the water stains on his body and said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect you to actually stay here so honestly."

Xiao Qi ignored that Tang Guan was teasing her, and stepped forward and said: "Brother Guan, have you seen the emperor and the queen?"

Tang Guan smiled and said: "The emperor didn't see it, but the Queen did."

"Wow, what does the queen look like? Is she a boy or a girl?"

"Haha" Tang Guan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This Xiaoqi was really smart when he was smart, but he was also cute and stupid when he was naive.

Chen Yunsheng looked at the rain curtain in front of him and said: "You two, don't run around. I'm going to the room to have a rest. I have to go to the Ministry of Personnel to reissue court clothes at noon."

Upon hearing this, Tang Guan saw that Chen Yunsheng's face was still a little gloomy. Knowing that he was still thinking about that matter, he hurriedly agreed.

Chen Yunsheng then turned around and entered another room.

When Xiao Qi saw Chen Yunsheng return to his room, his mind became more active and he kept asking: "Is the palace fun, is it big, and is there an old man with a colorful face?"

"Haha, when brother Guan becomes a high official, let's go in together." Tang Guan couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Qi's appearance.

A look of disappointment flashed across Xiao Qi's handsome face. He was already fair, but under the rain and wind, he looked even more childish. Tang Guan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Are you a hidden figure disguised as a man?"

"Brother Guan, what did you say?"

"Oh...it's nothing..." Tang Guan suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly felt sick in his heart. For a moment, Xiao Qi was disappointed. Tang Guan actually had an illusion and almost joined the ranks of gays.

"It seems that we have seen a lot of beauties today. Everything we look at is beautiful." Tang Guan suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart,

Then he started to play tricks again, thinking of the "coquettish" Wu Zhao, and looked at Xiao Qi who was suspected of being a "fake mother", and said: "Xiao Qi, I will find you a wife."

"Ah!" Xiao Qi was stunned when he heard this, then scratched his head and said, "I don't want a wife."

"If you marry a wife, you can enter the palace."

"Ah, really, why?" Xiao Qi became interested after hearing this.

"Hehe" Tang Guan smiled mysteriously, but said no more. Xiaoqi immediately pestered him: "Why?"

"talk about it later"

Xiaoqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I know."

Tang Guan was stunned when he heard this and asked: "What do you know?"

"We'll talk about it later," Xiao Qi curled her lips and responded in a similar manner.

Tang Guan laughed when he heard this, and as the two of them were talking, the heavy rain suddenly stopped.

It only took a short time to burn incense. When Xiao Qi saw that the rain had stopped and Tang Guan returned to the house, he couldn't help but said: "Let's go out and take a look."

Tang Guan got up early and walked around the palace. At this time, he was a little tired and wanted to take a rest. He waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it later."

Xiao Qi was reluctant to get up. His ability to wait for the two of them to come back was the limit.

"Brother Guan, we are still not brothers."

Tang Guan's eyelids twitched when he heard this. This little seven was a brat, so he could only say: "Of course."

"Haha, that's it, let's get out." Xiao Qi pulled Tang Guan and walked out of the house.

Tang Guan couldn't resist, but fortunately he wasn't too tired, so he had no choice but to leave the house together.
