After traveling for twenty-four days, Lin Wanwan and her party finally arrived in Chang'an.
Xiao Qingyu, who was kneeling at the carriage window, looked at the majestic city gate and sighed: "What a big gate!"
The little one hoped that her mother would allow her to sit on Ali's shoulders and see the whole city wall clearly.
But Lin Wanwan rejected her request. We have to be reserved and can't act like country people who haven't seen the world since they came to the city.
Isn't it just a city wall? She had already taken a look at it in modern times, and she had seen many tall buildings.
Although the city wall in front of her was dozens of meters high, it was indeed majestic, but as a Chinese in a modern society with the most advanced information, this still did not shock her.
There were a lot of people at the gate of the city, bustling with people, and there were some vendors interspersed among them, selling biscuits and roasted chicken.
Xiao Qingyu pointed at the roast chicken and wanted to eat from a roadside stall, but Lin Wanwan sternly refused. You can't eat when you're on the road. We need to be polite!
Xiao Qingyu pouted, suddenly feeling that Chang'an wasn't that fun anymore!
On the streets of Xiaoxi Town, Luang County, my mother didn’t care whether she could walk and eat at the same time!
After passing through the city gate, the guards checked the certificates in their hands (when traveling on official business, the pass certificate issued by the government must be shown when passing the customs), and the group entered the city.
The scene in Chang'an City was a bit different from what Lin Wanwan had imagined.
And Pang Youqi's member of the Yu Department, Wai Lang, was born in the sixth rank! With his humble background, being able to get into the capital and join the sixth rank was definitely considered a success in officialdom.
The bustling Chang'an people in front of her gave Lin Wanwan the impression that they were poor and impoverished, with a look of arrogance and arrogance on their faces, which made her worried about the quality of the people in this city.
When leaving Qiantang, Xiao's mother took Lin Wanwan's hand and carefully told Mrs. Xiao to take good care of Lin Wanwan, her only niece.
After all, we are people standing on the shoulders of historical giants. When we meet the ancients with golden fingers, what are we afraid of?
Contrary to Lin Wanwan's thoughts, Yun Shang, Hua Nong, Sun Chueyao and others who came with them saw the city of Chang'an and the people of Chang'an, and psychologically they felt three points shorter.
Chang'an is not her territory, and she doesn't want to stay there any longer.
After all, where can I find an accountant who has money, food, servants, and is obedient and quiet? It’s hard to find even with a lantern!
The reason why I chose to stay at the Pang family when I entered Chang'an City this time was of course because in terms of closeness, Lin Wanwan's cheap aunt, Mrs. Xiao, was the closest to her.
The green, yellow and gray people, the dusty and shabby streets, the smelly donkeys, horses and mule carts, and the hurried and worn-out faces of the barbarians.
Lin Wanwan has become accustomed to her existence. If one day she suddenly wants to leave, Lin Wanwan may still be reluctant to leave.
Lin Wanwan had no opinion on living in the Pang family or the Xiao family, or renting a house by herself.
After all, we can't compare vertically, but horizontally! It was only through the support of other countries that the Tang Dynasty became the great city in the universe.
They have never seen such towering and tall city walls, never walked through such wide and neat streets, and have never encountered so many foreign people in strange clothes. This is really a magical city with everything!
Living in Changan is not easy, Lin Wanwan finally realized it.
Xiao Chong returned to his home in Kaihuafang, while Xiao Yixun followed Lin Wanwan and moved into the house rented by the Pang family in Jinchangfang.
It's almost dusk now, and I'm sure I can't go to see the saint immediately after coming all the way.
Seeing Chang'an City so dusty, like a waning old man, most of the fear in Lin Wanwan's heart suddenly disappeared.
The Pang family's house turned out to be just a long and narrow courtyard with no garden pool and a small rockery in the backyard.
This little albino beauty is completely dependent on Lin Wanwan now, and she will follow her wherever she goes.
For those without family background, it would be good to stay in position for seven or eight years and be promoted to the seventh rank.
Fortunately, Xiao Yixun is not annoying at all. He is deserted, doesn't talk much, and has a simple mind. He is happy when he is happy, and disgusted when he is disgusted.
"Mother, look at the people here, no one has a patch on their body! They all walk with their heads raised!" Xiao Qingyu's eyes were almost fascinated by the prosperity in front of her.
Entering from the gate, you are faced with a pavilion. After passing through the pavilion is the central hall, and then passing through the central hall is the main bedroom. There are three corridors on the east and west sides. It is much simpler than Lin Wanwan's house in Xiaoxi Town!
There is only one master bedroom, guests and children can only live in the wing room, and the servants have to sleep on the verandah and the bunk. It is just like the commercial housing in modern cities, and the accommodation is full.
A majestic city, a prosperous age, this is it?!
Lin Wanwan let out a long sigh: "Reality is really skinny."
This is still a home for officials! It’s an upper-class place! You can imagine what the accommodation environment is like for ordinary people.
In her mind, the most powerful city in the world today, but what is displayed in front of her now seems to be somewhat unworthy of its name.
Even in Qiantang County, she had never seen so many heroic and high-spirited people, as if the world was at their feet.
However, when she arrived at the gate of Pang's house in a carriage, Lin Wanwan was still startled. It wasn't shock, she was simply surprised.
She neither likes to join in the fun nor go out, so she spends the whole day playing with her poisonous insects and weeds. She occasionally reads medical books, plays the piano and writes with Lin Wanwan. When Lin Wanwan is tired from reading, she reads to her while holding the book in her hand, and acts like a
Lin Wanwan's accountant helped manage the accounts, secretly trying to compete with Xiao Qingyu to get jealous.
Anyway, after meeting Li Shimin, she planned to leave and wouldn't stay here for too long.
When I think about Europe and the United States during this period, they were still living a life of roughing up hair and drinking blood. It seems that the Tang Dynasty was indeed pretty good.
Lin Wanwan glanced outside the carriage again, and a BGM automatically sounded in her ears: Hey, I have never seen such an arrogant person, and I finally saw it today!
The eldest uncle of the Pang family, Pang Youqi, is currently a member of the Yu Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In a place like Chang'an where one brick can hit two officials, he is an inconspicuous official.
Lin Wanwan still didn't know that this house was rented by the uncle of the Pang family, and it was not considered their house. It was not easy to own a house of your own in Chang'an.
But don't look down on this sesame official. You must know that in the system of the Tang Dynasty, new scholars had to start from the ninth rank sesame official, such as school secretary or something.
Normally, it would be difficult for a person like him without support in the officialdom to overcome the seventh-level hurdle. Therefore, this uncle of the Pang family is not an easy person.
Because there are not enough houses, Lin Wanwan and Xiao Yixun's servants sleep in one room for men and one for women. The conditions are much more difficult than usual in Luan County.
And Xiao Yixun couldn't enjoy the quietness, because the daughter of Pang's uncle lived next door to her wing, and she was still busy practicing piano at night.
Xiao Yixun's snow-white catkin went in and out of his sleeves several times. It seemed that he wanted to give the next door some powder, but he restrained himself in the end.
If it hadn't been for the Xiao Yixun ban in Chang'an City, Xiao Yixun would have dragged Lin Wanwan back to her home in Kaihuafang.
