Chapter 104 The prosperity of Chang'an City

No more said anything. Zhang Yang has become accustomed to Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang, these two strange neighbors.

Li Yue followed Zhang Yang's footsteps and walked towards Zhuque Street, taking the initiative to hold Zhang Yang's hand.

I felt that Li Yue's little hands were a little cold, but her hands were very beautiful, with slender fingers, and it felt good to hold them in her hands.

Walking out of the quiet alley, my eyes suddenly became clear.

It was a bustling Zhuque Street, and it was already night, and the whole Chang'an City looked brightly lit.

There are endless pedestrians, and there are many parents shouting and scolding at their children, as well as people's laughter.

A young couple walked into the crowd and quickly attracted a lot of attention.

The man was wearing a black robe and the woman was wearing a red robe.

The two men had the patterns of two bears embroidered behind their clothes, which were very conspicuous couple outfits.

The woman had a smile on her face, holding the man's hand, not caring about the gaze around her.

The man is not very handsome, but he gives people a clean feeling.

The woman smiled very cutely.

The man held the woman's hand and deliberately slowed down to let the girl be around him keep up.

The pedestrian looked at the young couple and pointed.

"It's so lively." Li Yue looked around.

"It's really lively, be careful not to get lost." Zhang Yang said lightly.

Li Yue held Zhang Yang's arm and said, "I'm not a child anymore."

Where there is such a large crowd, there is actually a high probability of getting lost.

The man on the road was also a little surprised to see Li Yue, what a beautiful girl.

But seeing her holding the man's arm, the men who were watching had to shake their heads and sigh, and leave with disappointment.

Li Yue is indeed very beautiful, especially the way she smiles.

When Li Yue stopped and stopped, she would stop and take a few more glances when she saw novel things, and bought some pastries while eating.

"You eat too." Li Yue looked up and handed over a piece of pastry.

Zhang Yang caught it with his mouth.

Seeing this woman feeding the man food, this intimate behavior made many women walking on the street see it as shy or envious.

How come there are girls so shameless?

It looks sweet.

Thinking of their own husbands, the women sighed deeply.

In the past, my family didn’t have much money, so I basically didn’t spend money when I went out.

Now that he is rich, Li Yue is rare and buys it directly when he sees anything he likes.

After a while, she bought another lantern.

Carrying a lantern and taking a small step, she noticed an old man from the Western Regions again.

This old man from the Western Regions used a cloth to lay a piece of cloth on the ground, and there were three bowls pressed upside down on the ground.

After seeing it, it was actually a gamble.

People put the money under the bowl, and the old man quickly moved three bowls, and after moving, people could guess which bowl contained the money.

If you guess the old man, you will pay twice, and if you guess the money wrong, you will be the old man in the Western Regions.

Several people took turns to participate in the bet and all lost.

Li Yue blinked and said, "Why don't we try too?"

Zhang Yang said: "It's so boring, so unskilled."

Li Yue whispered: "But so many people lost."

Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "This is it. If I win, you will kiss me."

“…”

"What are you kissing?" Li Yue was a little surprised.

It took a while before she understood the meaning. She waved her fist and beat Zhang Yang's shoulder and whispered: "There are so many people."

"Why don't you forget it."

Li Yue grabbed Zhang Yang's hand and said, "If you lose, I will make ten wine-making rice dumplings for me!"

After saying that, Li Yue took out a silver cake the size of a fingernail and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Then she showed a smug smile, as if she had already obtained the wine-stewed round seeds.

Zhang Yang handed the silver cake to the old man in the Western Regions, "I'll give it a try."

The old man from the Western Regions smiled and grabbed the silver cake with a bowl, and then quickly moved the three bowls.

After a while, he stopped and made a gesture of asking for help.

There were many people around.

Li Yue stood beside Zhang Yang, waiting for the bowl to be lifted.

The old man from the Western Regions whispered: "Please, please."

Zhang Yang pointed to a bowl on the right and said, "It must not be in this bowl."

After saying that, I opened the bowl and it was indeed empty.

The onlookers were talking again.

Zhang Yang pointed to the bowl on the left again and said, "It's not in this bowl either."

Everyone watched him open the second bowl, and the underside was empty.

Only the last bowl is left, and only the silver cake is possible in the last bowl.

Li Yue's expression also froze on her face.

The old man from the Western Regions smiled, paid Zhang Yang two silver cakes of the same size, and then hurriedly left, not even a bowl.

Only then did everyone come to their senses that this Western Regions man is a liar!

Someone chased after him on the spot.

Zhang Yang held the silver cake in his hand and said, "Someone just made a bet with me."

Li Yue frowned and said, "Did you find it too?"

Zhang Yang snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a trick? You know that there are actually none of the three bowls. The old man from the Western Regions has long sleeves. He wants money to appear in which bowl he wants."

"In fact, I wasn't in the bowl at the beginning, and I had already been put into the sleeves by him, so you also think I will definitely lose."

Li Yue stomped her feet in dismay, "Who knew you would play like this!"

Zhang Yang pointed to his side face and said, "I am willing to accept the loss."

Li Yue said: "You are cheating, you are even more cunning than the Western Regions."

"That's what you want to bet with me yourself."

Both of them saw through each other's tricks, but Li Yue didn't expect that Zhang Yang not only saw through, but also made this Western Regions person unable to get out of Taiwan.

Seeing Li Yue's tangled face, Zhang Yang said: "It is not difficult to deal with such people as long as you use some wisdom."

Seeing that Li Yue's face was already red, she looked extremely red.

Even though the Tang Dynasty is relatively open, ordinary girls have never heard of such requests, let alone on the streets with so many people.

It's really a bit difficult for the young wife.

Zhang Yang touched her little head, "People's hearts are sinister, learn more. I owe this thing to kiss first."

"Not you are sinister..."

Li Yue's voice was very low, like a mosquito screaming.

Holding his arm, Li Yue walked and said, "Ten meals of wine are gone..."

The day when the fireworks bloom is New Year's Eve, just on the day when the curfew is lifted in Chang'an City.

Zhang Yang's eyes were looking for the best place to watch fireworks.

Finally, his eyes fell on a bell tower, next to the temple. Zhang Yang remembered that there was a big bell on the top of this place, and the bells that were ringed by the evening drum and morning bells.

Of course, this kind of facility is also used to serve as an early warning function in the city.

There are no officers and soldiers guarding that place, and it is one of the high places that ordinary people can go to.

Other higher places in Chang'an City are guarded by officers and soldiers.

The two were walking on Zhuque Street, walking very slowly.

Li Yue doesn't go out normally, but she also likes to watch this kind of human fireworks.

Chang'an City at night is more lively than during the day. Some drunk people recite poems loudly, while others start to fight with others after drinking too much.
