Chapter 112: Famous Night Overnight, Gale...

As soon as the car passed the Ba Bridge, it left the willow trees on the embankments on both sides. Cui Shiqiniang's coughing sound gradually stopped in the carriage behind it.

However, on the day of departure this morning, the servants who sent the letter to the Wang family in Chang'an had not yet returned, and the people sent by the Wang family to pick up the Cui brothers did not appear. Du Shiyi originally planned to hand over the entrusting person, so she returned to the old house of Duqu, Fanchuan, and not to enter Chang'an City. But now that the person has not come, he can only do good people to the end and send them to the west. As Chang'an City gets closer, he has been living in Luoyang for several months, naturally he is not as amazed as before. However, when he came to the bottom of the Mingde Gate, the first gate of Chang'an immediately rushed towards him with a terrifying aura.

The five gates of Mingde Gate are nearly twenty feet from east to west, each gate is extremely deep. At first glance, I feel that it is dark inside. In the middle of this day, there are still be a beating torches in the center to illuminate the way in and out. Among the five gates, the main gate in the middle is closed, and among the four gates in the east and west, the two gates on the edge of the east and west have four ruts, which can be used for two vehicles to travel in parallel, entering and exiting west and exiting in an orderly manner. However, when Du Shiyi and his party were about to go to the west, they suddenly saw a group of people riding horses at the east gate. When the person in front of them saw that they were ox carriages and horses and carriages, and the servants of the followers, they immediately shouted.

"Silangjun, Twenty-five-width and Seventeenth Lady have arrived!"

With that sound, the people on the side immediately followed the reputation, and then a rider came out in line. When he arrived in front of him, he smiled and bowed, "But Du Langjun and the two Wang Langjun? Thank you for your hard work along the way. I sent my cousin to Chang'an. Wang Rongting was very grateful."

Wang Wei had long heard that Cui Ershiwulang and Cui Shiqiniang's mother came from the Wang family in Taiyuan. Although they did not have the main branch of the legitimate branch, they were already better than their own branch. Therefore, if the other party called himself Wang Si of Taiyuan, he would be embarrassed. At this moment, this young man in his early twenties saluted with a smile, called himself his name, and hid the county view. He immediately had a good impression of him and exchanged more greetings because of the same surname. When Du Shiyi heard Wang Rongting's apologetic explanation, he said that when he received the news, he was delayed and apologized sincerely, and he would not pursue anything else. In the end, the fat man Cui in the carriage pushed open the car door impatiently and jumped down.

"Fourth Cousin, you will be delayed until you are too long, it will be almost a curfew in the city gate!"

After not seeing each other for many years, this little fat man is still so unpleasant!

Wang Rongting glanced helplessly, and then invited everyone to go to the Wang's house in Guangdefang tonight. The journey took too much time. Wang Wei had stayed for too long after meeting his younger brother Wang Jin in Dongdu. The house he had rented in Chang'an had been temporarily withdrawn. Therefore, Wang Rongting invited him to the same surname, and he immediately agreed readily. Du Shiyi originally planned to take Du Shisanniang back to Duqu in Fanchuan, but seeing that it was really not early at this moment. If there was no one living in the old house, he had to find another way before dark, so he would be rude.

However, Wang Rongting looked at the fat man's cousin climbing into the carriage without saying a word when he saw this, and raised his eyebrows in confusion. This little guy used to think that the carriage was stuffy, and he liked to ride a tall horse to sway across the market. He also made a pair of stirrups. How do you change your style now?

Guangdefang is located west of Anhuamen Street, from the North Sixth Floor. It was already late at this moment, and the pedestrians on the road were about to be banned at night, and all of them were in a hurry. Fortunately, Wang Rongting led the way. After entering the city from Mingdemen, they went north through Zhuque Street, turned west on Yanxingmen Street, and then north on Anhuamen Street, and entered the fangmen from the east side of Guangdefang. When they went from Cross Street to the Wang House in the northwest corner, they passed the Jingzhao Prefecture Party, which was located in the southeast corner and occupied one-quarter of a yard. At this time, the Jingzhao Prefecture Party had obviously passed the time to do business. Only flags rustling in the wind, as well as a row of neatly dismounted stones and horse-tie pillars left at the door. Two soap-shirted men stood straight in front of the door. After passing this Cross Main Street, they turned north into a Cross Street. After a while, Du Shiyi saw the gatehouse of the Wang House.

The master of the Wang family, Wang Rongting's father, Wang Qinglan, is now a member of the Ministry of Revenue. From the sixth rank, the Tang Dynasty court, which was always streamlined by the central officials, even if the family is not necessarily born, it may not be possible to get this rank. However, compared with Cui Tai's brothers, the title and official position are naturally more than inferior. From the outside, the house seems much simpler. However, when entering through the simple gate and bypassing the lonely, solemn and solemn in the middle, it is not considered an extremely tall main hall. Entering from the back, entering the second gate, and following Wang Rongting through several yards for a while, Du Shiyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The northern style is mainly open and square. The owner of the Wang family just did this in the layout of other yards, but the yard facing us was very different. In the middle of the yard is a pond with a curved wooden bridge set up on the pond, with a mountain in the center. Walking through the wooden bridge, the end is a unique small building, and there are corridors on both sides of the east and west. When we get closer, Du Shiyi found that the first floor of the small building is full of columns without any barriers, and it is completely open. In the middle, there are small screens on the couch, etc. The polished wooden floor seems to have been carefully brushed by someone, and it seems to be able to shine a figure. Winter still needs to be blocked, but now spring is the brightest.

When Wang Rongting saw that Fatty Cui saw this, his eyes lit up and immediately smiled and said, "I know that Twenty-five-lang and Shiqi Niang are coming here to stay, Grandpa gave instructions to free up your favorite Danran Tower."

"It's better for uncle!"

Fatty Cui, who had been tense, cheered and finally lost the sequelae of the nearly dead trip during the journey. He rushed to the north stairs. However, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs with one foot, he heard a cough from behind. He had already heard this sound along the way, and instinctively stood up and turned around. But seeing Du Shiyi chatting and laughing with Wang Rongting as if nothing had happened, he was immediately so angry that he was itchy, but he was reluctant to return to Cui Shiqiniang. Faced with this change, Wang Rongting suddenly became even more surprised.

There were partitions on the five rooms on the second floor. There was a study room on the east side, and the dormitory on the west side, and the room in the middle was used for living and meeting guests. However, when Cui Shiqiniang and Fatty Cui lived here five years ago, the sisters and brothers were still young, so living together naturally made it happen. Now they are revisiting the old place. Cui Shiqiniang almost said without thinking: "Brother, now you are old, so let's live alone here."

Fatty Cui liked this place the most and was about to agree, but he couldn't help but glanced at Du Shiyi. Although he didn't look at him at all, he changed his words and said, "Today, Brother Du Shijiu and Brother Wang Shiwu are guests, so we should naturally invite them to live in this main building. I live in the East Gate Room, and the elder sister and the Thirteenth Lady of the Du family live in the West Gate Room. In the future, this main building will be lived in the Old Sister."

If he had just been wondering before, then at this moment, Wang Rongting was really surprised. Will this little fat man be polite? Du Shiyi secretly stopped the Wang brothers who were about to quit, and smiled at them with a smile.

Cui Shiqiniang looked at her brother in disbelief. She looked surprised for a while and said hurriedly: "How can this work..."

"What's wrong? Mine is yours, yours is mine, you are my sister, I have the final say!" After making arbitrary decision, when he heard a vague sound of drums coming from outside, Fatty Cui stretched his waist and said, "Fourth cousin, it's too late, do you have something to eat? I'm almost starving to death!"

"Of course, I can't starve you to death!" Wang Rongting was unable to show his brother's serious attitude toward Fatty Cui Xiaoshu. After laughing and scolding, he explained to Du Shiyi and the Wang brothers, "Now I just take you here to settle down first, and then go to the bedroom to see my grandmother. The kitchen is ready."

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, and ladies in the families of officials and officials often did not be afraid of seeing male guests. Moreover, Du Shiyi was a young junior and had a close relationship with the Cui family. Wang Wei and Wang Jin brothers had the same surname. After Wang Qinglan's wife Zheng met everyone in the bedroom, she smiled and pulled Du Shisanniang and Cui Shisqiniang to sit down beside her, and then ordered people to serve wine and food. As several food cases were arranged one by one in front of everyone, she signaled Wang Rongting to come forward to pour wine for Du Shiyi and Wang Wei and Wang Jin, and then said with a smile: "It's been more than 800 miles from Luoyang to Chang'an. You have heard that you have encountered some delays on your way. It's really hard. If you don't mind, stay at home for a few more days."

I stayed overnight tonight because of their own inconvenience. However, whether it was Du Shiyi, Wang Wei and Wang Jin, it was natural that I could not accept this kind of politeness as a blessing. For a moment, Du Shiyi explained that he would take Du Shisanniang back to the old house in Fanchuan, while Wang Wei was humbly saying that there was a house to be rented, so Zheng would no longer force it. After the meal, she knew that everyone was in trouble all the way, and she was the one who was most trustworthy around her and sent them back, but kept Wang Rongting.

"I see that Du Shijiulang and Wang Shisanlang and Wang Shiwulang are all outstanding and handsome people. Wang Shisanlang used to be in the capital, and everyone said he was a hero for a while. I was a little skeptical. I only realized that the rumors were true when I saw him. However, Du Shijiulang was famous in the past, but then suddenly said that Jiang Lang had lost all his talents, but he became famous in a few years. It was really unpredictable."

"It's hard to say what the two Wang Langjuns are. Du Shijiulang is the person he likes to the late Grandpa Qi. Otherwise, Duke Zhao would not have specially written a letter to ask his grandfather to take care of the provincial examination of the Shangshu Province in the next year. It is important to know that the examination has not been passed yet, so how can the examination be taken? However, I really didn't expect that the twenty-five-root would have people who were afraid." Wang Rongting explained to his mother several strange phenomena to his mother, and smiled, "I saw twenty-five-root in front of him, which was much more honest than before."

"He is almost thirteen, so he should know something." Zheng still remembers the bad temper of Cui Ershiwulang's nephew. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something more important, "This is already a curfew. Your grandfather went to visit Qi Guogong and the third sect of Kaifu Yi today, why didn't he come back? It was just because the friendship of the same surname was pulled by someone to respond to the story. Qi Guogong is not the main branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Isn't it too conspicuous to stay for so long?"

"My mother said this, I shouldn't be unaware of it." Wang Rongting frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly muttered to himself, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Duke Qi is not a minor illness, but a serious illness!"
