After a month has passed, time has just entered July.
I originally wanted to wait for the Qiu Wei meeting in another month or two, and then leave after presiding over the imperial examination.
But after thinking about it, one or two months is too long, so it is better to give this benefit to Zhao Yingcai.
So Fang Yuan went to the Prefectural Court to encourage him and told Zhang San to assist Zhao Yingcai before setting off for Chang'an City.
When he left, tens of thousands of people in Liaozhou City cried out to each other, and even people from Liaoshan County spontaneously came to see him off.
The common people lamented that it would be difficult to find such a good governor in Liaozhou in the future, and they couldn't help crying!
There are many people in Fang Yuan and the queue is very long.
Including Mrs. Li's family, and Xue Jiaoyan's sister and brother.
Everyone set off in a mighty manner, not in a hurry, but moving forward slowly.
On the fifth day, Fang Yuan and others arrived at Chang'an City.
From a distance, Fang Yuan and others could see Chang'an City.
Majestic, majestic, solemn, like a sleeping lion.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate, and the flow is several times that of Liaozhou City.
"Finally back!"
Du Miaoyan sighed.
She has long since returned home.
But Fang Yuan's current body is not suitable for traveling.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way, so she could only accompany him slowly.
In the past, when she set off from Chang'an City to Liaozhou City, she would rush there quickly.
Now that she saw Chang'an City, she felt that she had been away for a long time, and sighed that she was finally back.
"As expected of an imperial city!"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Chang'an City should be the most majestic city in the world.
There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons here, and a fallen leaf may hit a senior official.
This was also the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, with countless royal relatives and relatives.
Everyone sighed and got off the car one after another to prepare to walk into the city.
As soon as Fang Yuan was about to leave, he felt his hand being held by someone.
He looked over subconsciously, then lowered his head and saw that it was Fang Jingyu. He was very happy,
"Master, I'm afraid."
Fang Jingyu grabbed Fang Yuan's hand and looked nervously at Chang'an City.
"What are you afraid of?"
Fang Yuan smiled and asked in confusion.
After adopting Fang Jingyu, Fang Jingyu performed very well.
Earnestly complete the literacy tasks assigned by Hong Xu and Qing Wei, and work hard to follow Li Danqiu’s sister and brother training.
Regardless of the former or the latter, this little girl works very hard and is very obedient, making Fang Yuan and others like her.
"I, I escaped from here before."
Fang Jingyu said quietly and nervously.
She hid behind Fang Yuan, her body trembling a little.
"For what reason?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was a bit serious.
Chang'an City is neither far nor close to Liaozhou City, but it is definitely very far for a child of a few years old.
If she escaped from Chang'an City, how could she be in Liaozhou City?
What is the reason for needing to escape?
"Forgot."
Fang Jingyu shook her head and said.
But his face was slightly pale and he looked very scared.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said.
He patted Fang Jingyu's little head and took her hand towards the city gate.
After showing proof of taking up the post of Chang'an Order, the soldiers guarding the city just confirmed their identity and immediately let him go.
After entering Chang'an City, Fang Yuan and others once again felt the prosperity of Chang'an City.
People are walking shoulder to shoulder, and you can see people from other countries as you pass by.
"Look, it's Persian!"
Hongxu pointed in one direction and exclaimed.
He was a man with curly black hair and large, slightly round eyes that were sunken inward.
There is a big difference between him and the Han people, and one can tell others that he is not a Han person at a glance.
Fang Yuan and others looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and strolling slowly in the city.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and passers-by kept giving way.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and others saw a small cavalry team coming from ahead.
The leaders were Princess Xiangcheng and Xiao Rui, followed by Changsun Chong and Qin Huaiyu.
"Miaoyan, Fang Yuan, you are finally here!"
"Shhh... no need to salute!"
Princess Xiangcheng dismounted and walked towards Du Miaoyan and Fang Yuan.
Others also dismounted one after another, all coming to greet Du Miaoyan and Fang Yuan.
"Are you coming to pick me up?"
Du Miaoyan was a little surprised.
She never told Princess Xiangcheng when she would return.
"Don't get me wrong."
"We are here to pick up our great hero Fang Yuan."
Princess Xiangcheng snorted proudly, then looked at Fang Yuan and smiled.
"Fang Yuan, I didn't expect you to organize cavalry to counterattack the Eastern Turks."
"I heard that you personally killed the Thousand Cavalry General Ashina Luoyun, that's awesome, I admire you!"
Qin Huaiyu and others also came.
Looking Fang Yuan up and down, he sighed.
When they were in Liaozhou City, they already admired Fang Yuan.
I think Fang Yuan's intelligence and intelligence are extraordinary and he is a very powerful person.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan actually launched a counterattack when he and others were not in Chang'an City.
A civil servant beheaded a thousand-horse general, which not only shocked the younger generation, but also shocked the older generation.
I heard that the reason why Fang Yuan was promoted to the Chang'an Order, which was watched by countless people, was because of his outstanding performance.
In short, Fang Yuan became famous in one battle, and now there are very few people in Chang'an City who don't know Fang Yuan.
"Lucky, lucky."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
"Don't be humble, being too humble is too much."
"If we had a record like yours, we would beat gongs and drums to publicize it in Chang'an City."
Changsun Chong interjected.
He also looked at Fang Yuan with a sigh.
Before he and others left, he said he would wait for Fang Yuan to compete after he was promoted to Chang'an City.
But he didn't expect that Fang Yuan would be promoted to Chang'an City in just a few months.
Moreover, his official position has also changed. He was promoted to two small positions in a row, and his flight was not as fast as his.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan responded with a chuckle.
"Okay, let's not attract attention here. Let's move to another place."
"Fang Yuan, I have already held a banquet to welcome you, please come."
Princess Xiangcheng interrupted the conversation between Fang Yuan and others.
Because they came over in such a showy way just now, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
And whenever she and Du Miaoyan appear, they will always attract a lot of attention, and now there are even more people.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to move to another location and talk again.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Then everyone moved.
Naturally, there are too many people in Fang Yuan, and I am embarrassed to let Princess Xiangcheng welcome them all.
Therefore, Fang Yuan asked the boss to take the others, pulling large and small carts and saluting, to purchase real estate and settle down in Chang'an City.
After a few people left, the people at the scene began to talk about it.
"Who was that person just now? Princess Xiangcheng actually greeted him personally."
"And there is also the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City accompanying her, with such a prominent status?"
"Listening to their conversation just now, that person seems to be named Fang Yuan, so who is Fang Yuan?"
"Fang Yuan?! Hiss...Isn't that the Liaozhou governor who wiped out thousands of Eastern Turks?"
"Is it him?! I heard he was promoted to Chang'an Order!"
People are talking a lot.
Soon, the news spread.
More people in Chang'an City know about Fang Yuan's arrival.
The position of Chang'an Order is too sensitive, and many dignitaries from aristocratic families are paying attention to this matter.
Yipinxiang Restaurant.
The best restaurant in Chang'an City is five stories high.
You don't have to have money to come and eat here, you also have to have status.
It was a restaurant opened by a certain prince, specially used to entertain dignitaries.
There is a corridor on the fifth floor, and Princess Xiangcheng contracted this large private room.
To be precise, it was Xiao Rui who paid for the contract, after all, the two were already married.
Here, you can see many of the landforms of Chang'an City, as well as the people walking around in the city.
It is a very good sightseeing scene.
Fang Yuan stood here and looked at the appearance of Chang'an City, feeling deeply.
This is Chang'an City, and the people on the road are much richer and more luxurious than those in Liaozhou City.
It’s really not comparable to Liaozhou City.
The Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital, gathers all the money and talent from all over the world, which is really extraordinary.
"Fang Yuan, stop looking and come over for a drink."
"Whenever you want to come here, just tell me my name."
Princess Xiangcheng shouted at the banquet.
Formal banquets in the Tang Dynasty were mainly based on sitting on the floor.
There is a lotus pedestal on the ground, and the table is about the navel of a person when he sits down.
It’s different from the furnishings in Fang Mansion.
The place where Fang Yuan lived for a long time would be converted into the customary stools and tables for later generations.
"Where did this wine come from?"
Fang Yuan could smell the strong aroma of wine before he even sat down.
You can tell it's high-altitude wine when you smell it, and it should be similar to the high-altitude wine distilled by someone you ordered.
But this is Chang'an City, how can there be high-quality wine produced in Liaozhou?
Could it be that someone has already imitated high-strength alcohol?
"Did you smell it?"
"This is your high-quality wine from Liaozhou."
"Fang Yuan, your Liaozhou high-quality wine is hard to find in Chang'an City. If you have time, let someone open a branch in Chang'an City, you will definitely make a lot of money!"
Princess Xiangcheng chuckled.
The high-quality wine from Liaozhou City has spread to Chang'an City.
Because of its strong taste, it quickly captured a large part of the market.
The soldiers who fought in the war have not returned yet, otherwise they would definitely be more popular.
"That's it."
Fang Yuan nodded slowly.
It turns out to be high-quality wine from Liaozhou City.
It seems that we need to open a branch in Chang'an City. If it's too late, it might be copied.
"Fang Yuan, do you still remember that you told us about doing business in partnership before?"
"We couldn't stay in Liaozhou before, but now that you have arrived in Chang'an City, do your words still count?"
Changsun asked suddenly.
Qin Huaiyu and others all looked at Fang Yuan.
The things in Fang Yuan's hands are all new and rarely seen on the market.
If it can be launched in Chang'an City, no one will dare to touch it based on their status, and they will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
This time Princess Xiangcheng proposed to welcome Fang Yuan, and it was with this in mind that they welcomed her together.
After all, their relationship with Fang Yuan has not reached the point of welcoming Fang Yuan in person.
Only interests are the bond that tightly connects each other.
"Remember."
"I will contact you when I am stable."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
It is better to cooperate with them, and sales will be smooth.
Coupled with their identities, the goods don’t have to worry about who is targeting them.
When the time comes, Fang Yuan will research everything he remembers and make a fortune.
"Remember to contact me too."
"Come, let's toast Fang Yuan and welcome him to move to Chang'an!"
Duke Xiangcheng smiled and raised his glass to signal to everyone.
"Welcome to Chang'an!"
Du Miaoyan's siblings, Chang Sun Chong and others also raised their glasses.
Xiao Rui was the last to raise the glass, and he looked a little reluctant.
He was sitting with Princess Xiangcheng, but he looked a little gloomy the whole time.
Princess Xiangcheng and others seemed to be used to it, so they didn't pay much attention to his appearance.
"Thank you!"
Fang Yuan chuckled.
He responded to everyone and drank a small cup of gulu.
After all, it is highly alcoholic. After drinking a glass, Xiang Yuan couldn’t help but take a breath.
"Fang Yuan, drink less, your body is not fully recovered yet."
"We are all friends, no one will blame you for drinking less."
Du Miaoyan said worriedly.
He actually walked from where he was sitting with Du He to sit next to Fang Yuan, and patted Fang Yuan's back affectionately.
When everyone saw this scene, they all sighed and lamented that the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City should be a famous flower with a wife.
Among them, Qin Huaiyu looked slightly depressed when he saw this. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it heavily.
The moment he drank the wine, Qin Huaiyu thought of Lu Xia bandaging his wounds.
That girl...
Qin Huaiyu shook his head, Lu Xia's figure was engulfed in alcohol.
"Tsk tsk, our relationship is so good?"
Princess Xiangcheng smiled evilly.
Du Miaoyan froze immediately and blushed slightly.
But in the end, he calmly sat next to Fang Yuan and shared the same table with Fang Yuan.
Everyone looked at him and sighed again, making Fang Yuan feel a little embarrassed.
Next, everyone was talking and laughing, drinking wine and eating meat.
Fang Yuan controlled his drinking. In addition to his body not fully recovering, he also had to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report on his work later.
Officials working in Chang'an County are different from those in other places. They need to report to the Ministry of Personnel, make handovers, obtain official seals, etc.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's mood gradually rose. Zhangsun rushed to several men and started walking around, making the atmosphere even more lively.
Suddenly, Xiao Rui, who had always been a little gloomy, stood up, picked up two glasses of wine and walked towards Fang Yuan.
Changsun Chong and others didn't think anything of it, and didn't look at Xiao Rui. What was once was what it is now.
But Princess Xiangcheng was a little panicked, because Xiao Rui knew that Fang Yuan was also involved in his sword.
"Fang Yuan, let me toast you alone."
"Thank you for taking good care of Xiangcheng when you were in Liaozhou."
Xiao Rui came over holding two glasses of wine.
One cup for myself and one cup for Fang Yuan.
Princess Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried.
Although Xiao Rui knew that Fang Yuan was involved, he had no evidence.
And the most important thing is that Xiao Rui must be afraid that his incompetence will spread.
Not many people know about it now, only her and Xiao Rui, Du Miaoyan and Fang Yuan, and Li Shimin and Xiao Yu.
If it gets too big, Xiao Rui will be embarrassed, so no matter how unwilling he is, he won't dare to target Fang Yuan in a big way.
"You're welcome, that's as it should be."
Fang Yuan took the wine glass, smiled and said.
But Fang Yuan did not drink it because he was not taking care of Princess Xiangcheng because of Xiao Rui.
To be precise, he did not take care of Princess Xiangcheng, so there was no need to drink the glass of wine. He put down the glass as soon as his lips touched the wine.
"Don't drink?"
"No face?"
Xiao Rui drank a glass, but when he saw that Fang Yuan didn't drink, his face suddenly changed.
He stared at Fang Yuan, his voice became louder, and his eyes became fierce.
The atmosphere at the scene changed somewhat, and Chang Sun Chong and others all looked over.
"Xiao Rui, Fang Yuan's injury has not recovered yet."
Du Miaoyan persuaded.
She sighed in her heart, feeling a little guilty.
Xiao Rui has become so gloomy, she is also responsible.
"I just drank so many drinks, I won't die if I drink one more."
Xiao Rui stared at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Rui, what's wrong with you?"
"Isn't it too much to drink that little wine?"
Du He smiled, stood up and walked towards Xiao Rui.
He put his hand on Xiao Rui's shoulder, trying to pull Xiao Rui away.
However, Xiao Rui threw his hand away, causing Du He to almost fall.
"Drink or not?"
Xiao Rui's voice was louder.
Staring at Fang Yuan fiercely.
Everyone noticed something was wrong with Xiao Rui.
Du Miaoyan frowned and was about to defend Fang Yuan.
"Xiao Prince Consort makes a toast, so of course he has to drink it."
Fang Yuan smiled and drank a glass.
He also saw something was wrong with Xiao Rui, but he didn't know why.
It's rare for Princess Xiangcheng and others to welcome me without making everyone unhappy.
Xiao Rui nodded, looked deeply at Fang Yuan, pushed Du He aside, and walked back to his place.
The atmosphere is a bit stiff.
But Xiao Rui didn't care at all, and drank boringly after returning to his seat.
"Ha, Xiao Rui drank. This guy's wine taste is really bad."
"Fang Yuan, we don't care about him, we drink ours."
Changsun Chong tried to smooth things over.
Du He was also pulled back to his position.
The atmosphere seems to have returned to what it was just now.
But in fact, the atmosphere is still a bit stiff.
Fang Yuan has no idea of staying and is going to report to the Ministry of Officials.
But just when I was about to ask everyone to leave, I felt a little hot.
At the same time, a primitive desire slowly emerged, making Fang Yuan clearly feel wanted.
You’ve only had a few glasses of wine and this is it?
Fang Yuan frowned, feeling very surprised.
"Are you drunk?"
Du Miaoyan saw that Fang Yuan's face was a little red and said with concern.
"No, I'm going to the toilet."
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
He got up and asked someone to take him to the toilet.
The design of Yipinxiang Restaurant is also quite unique, with toilets on every floor.
This kind of toilet is not a toilet, nor is it the kind commonly used today.
Instead, it goes directly to a room, and then the excrement leads to somewhere on the first floor through a pipe.
The handling was quite good, and there was sandalwood in the toilet, so it didn't smell too bad.
"What's going on?"
Fang Yuan frowned.
I touched my crotch to confirm that something was really wrong.
It’s just a few glasses of wine, nothing like this will happen.
I've drank alcohol before, but never had this happen.
Vaguely, Fang Yuan felt like he was going to be overwhelmed by desire.
Thinking back to just now, the only thing Fang Yuan had eaten was Xiao Rui's glass of wine.
Could it be that...that glass of wine was poisonous?!
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed into a frown, feeling something was wrong more and more.
He took a basin of water and washed his face. After rinsing with cold water, he finally felt better.
But the feeling is still there, getting stronger and stronger, and seems to overwhelm Fang Yuan's will.
No!
Gotta get out of here!
Fang Yuan thought of Hongxu and Qinggao.
Open the door and prepare to say goodbye to Du Miaoyan, Princess Xiangcheng and others before leaving.
But as soon as she walked out of the toilet, she saw Princess Xiangcheng standing in the corridor, seemingly waiting for a while.
Seeing Princess Xiangcheng, the heat in Fang Yuan's body became even more intense. He was almost sure that he had been poisoned.
"Fang Yuan, I'm sorry, Xiao Rui...eh? Why is your face so red?"
Princess Xiangcheng walked towards Fang Yuan, her face full of apologies.
She was going to explain to Fang Yuan and remind Fang Yuan to pay attention to Xiao Rui.
But when I took a closer look, I noticed something was wrong with Fang Yuan's face.
With a red face and eyes full of desire, it seemed as if he wanted to swallow her.
