It is said that after Ling Yun visited the Wang family and learned that Wang Wenjing was fine, he sent back a letter home. He originally wanted to ask Erwa and his wife to come and watch the restaurant in Anzhou Prefecture. For the restaurant in Lingshan County, just let Sanwa and his wife watch. Others
The store lets them make their own arrangements.
After sorting out the relevant matters, taking a whole stack of books with him, Ling Yun set out for Kyoto.
It can be said that the journey from Anzhou Prefecture to the capital is high and far away, and the time spent on the road alone is more than a month.
Originally, he wanted to take Sanniu with him. Sanniu was more obedient and reliable. But when Yang Ergou heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said that he thought about Sanniu everything. He clearly believed that it was him, Yang Ergou, who sent it. How could he
Sanniu will accompany you.
Seeing that Ling Yun ignored him, he started to cry holding Ling Yun's thigh again.
Ling Yun thought for a while and realized that he had to go to Annan to take Sanniu with him. Moreover, Yang Ergou was really capable, but not very reliable at the critical moment. The incident of being chased by a dog was still burned into his heart, so he made a three-part agreement with him.
Everything must be obeyed by him, the latter promised with patting his chest, so he reluctantly took him with him.
Regarding his visit to the capital, he wrote back the date and time to Luo Tianyi, telling her that he, Ling Yun, had come to see her.
He followed a caravan when he went to the capital, but because it was on the official road, it was safer, but he still couldn't help but be nervous along the way.
When the sun was about to set, he came to the capital, the center of the Daqian Dynasty.
When the city gate came into view, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, he found no bandits, but what he didn't know was that a figure in green followed him all the way until he entered the capital city gate and disappeared.
The capital, like Peiping in later generations, is located on a plain with natural mountains at its back, which can block the invasion of the barbarians from the north.
Standing at the gate of the capital, Ling Yun clearly felt that the city was like a sleeping lion, giving people an invisible pressure.
The towering and endless city wall was magnificent. Outside the city wall was the moat. This was the largest and longest moat he had ever seen. I heard that it was built under the order of the first Emperor Gaozu.
The founding emperor was a genius of his generation, but it is a pity that the current Daqian dynasty is declining and has managed the great country like this.
As the ancients said, everything that flourishes must also decline. It rises every three hundred years and declines every three hundred years. This is an eternal truth that has been passed down through the ages.
There was an endless stream of carriages and pedestrians outside the city gate. When the sun was about to set, there were still so many people coming and going, which really surprised him.
After entering the city gate, Ling Yun clearly felt the naked contempt of people from the capital. Most of these people looked arrogantly and looked at them, foreigners, with condescending eyes.
Sure enough, they are bathing in the emperor's favor. People under the imperial city are superior to others and exude arrogance. This is a kind of regional discrimination.
All in all, he had been mentally prepared for this phenomenon, so he was not surprised at all.
But Yang Ergou quit. Looking at the ordinary pedestrians coming and going, they all looked at them with disdain. He couldn't help it and whispered in a low voice, "Master, what are these people? They just rely on people from the capital."
His status is such that he looks down upon others."
Looking at the aggrieved Ergou, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little funny. He remembered that before he came here, he had tried to persuade Yang Ergou, saying that this capital was not a place for outsiders like them to enjoy, and they would not avoid suffering wherever they went.
People roll their eyes.
When Yang Ergou heard this, he patted his chest and promised that he would never do it. He thought that Yang Ergou was also looked down upon by others and had been working at the bottom of society for many years. He didn't need to care about those so-called cynicism.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city gate, he couldn't help muttering, which made him shake his head and say, "I know you regret it! Master, I told you at the beginning that I would ask Sanniu to accompany me. What about you?
It's great to stay at home, check out some restaurants, eat delicious food and drink spicy food, feel free, but you have to come here with the young master to suffer, do you know it's wrong?"
When Yang Ergou heard this, he knew what he was doing and made the young master laugh. However, he didn't care about others looking down on him. He just looked at these people, who were dressed in ordinary clothes and were ordinary people. His young master looked at him with disgust.
, which aroused his dissatisfaction.
From Yang Ergou's point of view, you can look down on me, but you can't look down on my young master.
He pouted and said gloomily, "Master, I'm not complaining for myself, I'm just feeling aggrieved for the master. Why do these ordinary people look at the master with such eyes? What a blind dog."
thing."
Ling Yun smiled and thought that Yang Ergou was still young after all. Some people were born different from them. Even if he was just a farmer, because they were from the capital and were bathed in the emperor's favor, they would be proud of their identity.
At the same time, when seeing other outsiders, they will reject them from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that others are just rubes.
Some people are born at a height that is out of reach for their whole life. All they can do is to keep their feet on the ground and move up step by step. If they are lucky, they may be able to compete with them. If they are not lucky, they can only come from nowhere.
Where to go.
I saw him speaking seriously and sincerely, "Two dogs, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."
"Most of the people here are either rich or noble. They may seem ordinary to us, but they may also be relatives of that noble family. Therefore, when we come here, we should speak less and be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble."
This is the capital city, and no one knows whether a seemingly ordinary pedestrian may be a high-ranking person, so be careful.
When Yang Ergou heard the words, although he was confused, as long as he listened to the young master, he would not make any mistakes. He had to be careful in everything so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the young master.
So he replied thoughtfully, "Yes, Master, I understand."
Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the gray sky, turned to look at the inn not far away, and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's find an inn to stay first."
Li Chengyou once told Ling Yun to find him as soon as he arrived in the capital.
But at this time, he planned to stay first and come to visit him early tomorrow morning.
After paying homage to the master, and then visiting the Luo family, the order must not be messed up, otherwise Li Chengyou will inevitably talk about it.
When the two checked into the inn, they were shocked by the price. A D-sized room cost twenty taels of silver per night, and an A-sized room cost ten taels. Oh my god, what a profiteer!
He knew that prices in the capital were high, so he was prepared, but the price of a size A room for ten taels of silver still shocked him.
It's not that he can't afford this amount of money. This time he came here and brought thousands of taels of silver. He originally thought that with such a large amount of money, he would have no problem with food and accommodation. But now it seems that it's hard to say.
After thinking about it carefully, there was still quite some time before the test, so he thought it would be better to find a house for short-term rent, otherwise the money would not be enough to cover the cost of staying in an inn.
After a tiring journey, the two of them ate something and sat for a while. After the food was almost digested, they fell asleep.
