Chapter 108 Want to go to Chang'an (2)

"Go to Chang'an? OK!" Liu Ertiao sat up from the bed, changed his decadent and sad expression just now, and said excitedly: "I have never been to Chang'an City so old? I really want to open my eyes and see the prosperity of the capital."

No wonder Liu Ertiao was so excited. Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the most prosperous and lively place in the Tang Dynasty. There were countless famous scholars and beauties, and countless talented men and heroes. Moreover, it was the power center of the Tang Dynasty, with many high-ranking officials and many opportunities. Even people like Liu Yi, who have seen big scenes, wanted to see what this ancient civilization capital looked like more than 1,300 years ago and what is the difference between it and Xi'an after 1,300 years.

Liu Yiu sat on the bed, put on the boots made by Liu Heshi for him, and said to Liu Eryiu: "Now there is about half a month left before spring plowing, and I'm just a little free time. Well, let me think about it, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, um, let's go to the private school for a few days of holidays, and I'll take you to visit your mentor, Lord Wang, the Chief of the Zhongzhou. Well, if possible, we will stay there for two more days so that you can listen to the teachings by Lord Wang."

"Thank you, brother!" Liu Erzhao happily gave a gift to Liu Yi, then turned around and went out excitedly, and said to Liu Yi: "I'll go and tell my parents, so that they can prepare in advance."

Seeing his burning look, Liu Yi shook his head and smiled, looked up and down, and saw that the clothes were worn, so he raised his heels and went out.

"Yi, I heard Erzhao say you want to take him to Chang'an City to visit the teacher? Is this true?" Seeing Liu Yi came out, Lao Liu asked in a hurry.

"Oh," Liu Yi walked to the dining table and saw that the family was there, and they were all looking at him. Liu Yi smiled and sat down against the table and said, "Yes, I'm going to set off in two days. The main thing is to visit Erzhao's mentor Wang Changshi. This year Erzhao will start taking the provincial examination and the provincial examination. It is just when someone needs guidance. Going to visit now will be very helpful for Erzhao's future examination."

"Yeah, this is right, it's right." Liu Huo Shi nodded. Liu Ertiao was the scholar of their old Liu family, the only person who had the opportunity to win fame. In the future, it would be all count on him. Therefore, Lao Liu would generally support Liu Ertiao's work on studying and taking fame. Even if he would pay a lot of money.

Lao Liu also knew that Chang'an was the capital, very good and prosperous.

But accordingly, the consumption there is also very good and expensive. It is not affordable for ordinary people. When Liu Yiang and theirs go, they don’t know how much money they will fly away from them.

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. Are you a little anxious? If you don't take it for two more days, your new clothes with Nijo will be ready. It will be better to wear new clothes. You should know that Chang'an is the capital, a big city, and prosperous and luxurious. You brothers will be looked down upon in this outfit." Liu He is worthy of being a good wife and mother, and he immediately considered the clothes on his sons.

"Mom, it's okay." Liu Yiuan comforted: "The clothes we wear now are pretty good. Although they are coarse cloth, they are better than comfort and warmth. And they are made by their mother. There is no better clothes than this. You don't have to care about other people's eyes and words. Like those shallow people who only focus on the appearance of clothes, they are not worthy of our attention. There is no need to change ourselves because of their opinions and preferences. What's the difference between us and them? Besides, this spring plowing is approaching, and we don't have much time to delay. I'm afraid I can't wait for this new clothes. Let's wait until the day I get married."

"That" Liu Erjo was about to say something or could buy some, but Liu Yi glared at her eyes and then held it back. Finally, she just said in a low voice: "What brother said is very true! It's better not to wear this new clothes."

"Haha, if you think this way, mom will feel relieved." Liu He laughed happily. The eldest son's words just now made her feel very heartwarming, and the warmth in her heart was wandering back and forth. The sons have really grown up and become sensible.

"Since you are here, don't be so anxious to come back. Stay with Lord Wang for a few more days. Don't worry about the family affairs, just leave it to me. I will help take care of those wastelands. Those tenant farmers are honest household heads, and Brother Li helps to take care of them, so there will be no trouble." Lao Liu also explained on the side, "Remember to bring more gifts to the gentleman when he goes there, don't be afraid of spending money, so that the gentleman can feel our sincerity."

"I know these, dad, don't worry." Liu Yiuan was afraid that they would still be entangled on this topic and kept talking nonstop, so he picked up the chopsticks first, pointing to the food on the table and said, "Dad, mom, let's have a meal first, otherwise the food will lose its taste when it gets cold in a while." Then he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork belly for Liu Xiaohui, put it in her bowl, and said with pain: "Look, Xiaohui is all hungry."

"Thank you, brother!" Liu Xiaohui happily sliced ​​the pork belly into her little mouth, and then thanked Liu Yi vaguely while chewing. Liu Xiaohui didn't hear Liu Yi's conversation just now. From the moment the food was placed on the table, only the table of dishes and food remained in Liu Xiaohui's big watery eyes.

"Haha," Liu Yi touched Liu Xiaohui's hair in a doting way and said, "Our Xiaohui is so good! Come on, brother, pick up another piece for you!"

Seeing that Liu Xiaohui was eating sweetly, Liu Laoshi and Liu He also looked at each other and started to smile.

At night, on Liu Yi and their bed, Liu Erzhao tossed and turned, turning around, going east and west, without a moment of rest, and just couldn't sleep. Liu Yi couldn't calm down, and he didn't know what Liu Erzhao was doing.

"Brother," finally Liu Erjo sat up and whispered to Liu Yi. Seeing that Liu Yi had not yet fallen asleep, he lay beside Liu Yi's pillow and asked in a low voice: "Brother, have you ever been to Chang'an? I don't know what Chang'an City looks like?"

Oh, it turns out that it was because of this, Liu Youyou suddenly understood. People who traveled far away for the first time will always feel a little uneasy. Liu Eryou said that after all, he was only fifteen years old and half a child. It would be normal to have such behavior. Liu You turned over and faced Liu Eryou and said, "Second brother, don't worry, although I have never been to Chang'an City, most cities have similarities. For example, this city wall, this city, this street, and this crowd are all similar. Just treat it as a larger Sanyuan County."
