Chapter 22(1/2)
The journey from Tongzhou Prefecture to the capital is more than ten days.
Liu Anan found a way to spend time for himself, brought a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and put his hand into the gold, silver and jewelry. The cold gold and jade felt very good, bringing a touch to the hot summer day, and the sound collision was nice.
Chu Yu stared at him for three days. The little girl was covered with clean gold, silver and jade every day, like a mouse falling into a rice jar. She looked like a girl who was already fifteen years old and had a hairpin, even a girl who was three or five years old, and she was embarrassed to do it.
He lifted the man directly to his carriage.
The carriage prepared by Yang Mansion for Chu Yu was a luxurious carriage with four tall horses pulling carriages. It was six feet wide and seven feet long. It not only had a couch, a small number, but also an ice basin.
Liu An'an got on the tyrant's carriage and was worried. What's wrong with her?
In the carriage, Chu Yu took out a book from the secret draw and threw it to her.
"read."
Liu Anan took the book, read the title, and was slightly stunned.
But it is a book of "Thousand Character Text" that enlightens children when they are mentioned.
Outside the carriage was the hot cicadas, and the turbulent stream flowed by the road. Liu Anan was sitting obediently on the side mat and opened this brand new and ink-like book.
"The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast..."
Liu Anan was studying, and her pronunciation was clear, but she grew up in the south, with a slightly soft accent and a gentle tone.
While she was reciting, she carefully looked at the tyrant with her aftertaste.
He is so strange.
He actually asked her to read "Thousand Characters" to him.
The man supported his forehead with one hand, and at first he used his knuckles to match the rhythm of Liu An'an's tone, and then he ticked the sound on the small table in line with Liu An's rhythm. Not long after, his eyes gradually closed.
"Thousand Characters" was learned when he was a child. Liu Anan memorized it for many years after he was a child. Even if he didn't pick up the book, he could recite it smoothly.
She was pinching the book, but she kept staring at the man from the corner of her eyes.
He lowered his voice a little, and he kept on his back: "It turns into a quilt, and it depends on the veil and trees..."
"Damage is caused by evil, and blessings are caused by good fortune..." As he recited, only a little breath was left in Liu An'an's voice.
He seemed to be asleep.
The man supported his forehead with one hand and his eyes closed, his breathing gradually calmed down.
Even the aura around him calmed down.
The man who always makes people unable to breathe at a glance and the evil spirit follows closely, after closing his eyes, it actually makes people feel that they can't breathe at a glance.
Liu Anan covered her cheeks.
She thought that if the tyrant wins with this face alone, he will be a well-deserved king.
Unfortunately, God has the virtue of fairness, which gave him this face and a violent and terrifying personality.
The articles like "Thousand Characters" full of innocence and childishness are simply out of place with him.
I don’t know why he wanted to listen to the “Thousand Character Classic”.
Can "Thousand Characters" still awaken the childlike fun of the tyrant? Just thinking about this, Liu Anan couldn't help but wonder what the tyrant was like when he was a child many years ago? Is it also so gloomy, serious, and unpredictable?
It seems a bit interesting.
Just as he was suddenly in a daze, he grabbed her wrist with one hand.
"continue."
Chu Yu did not open his eyes, but only gave a light order.
Not asleep yet! Liu Anan realized it later. How could a person like the tyrant really fall asleep completely beside her?
"There is no place to think, and the words are stable..."
Liu Anan continued to recite the letter obediently.
The girl's soft and soft voice was chanting the most impure words.
Sure enough, her voice could relieve him of two-minute headaches.
Chu Yu kept holding her wrist and enjoyed a moment of tranquility with his eyes closed.
Liu Anan was on Chu Yu's carriage, rubbing the ice basin, and carving the "Thousand Character Text" for ten days.
It was early summer when I walked, and when the road became wider and wider, the sides changed from barren mountains and ridges to neat fields, and there were more and more pedestrians, cars and horses. When it was midsummer, the capital was here.
A row of six or seven carriages drove into the city gate of the capital. Outside the carriage was filled with hustle and bustle. The pedestal vendors with small things hanging on the cloth bags were back and forth, and they looked like a carriage sold by wealthy families.
"Mrs. The head flowers in the capital are different from those in the place. The wife and wife buy them and wear them and they are from the capital."
"Oh, is anyone looking for bean sorbet?"
Liu Anan lifted a little bit of the carriage curtain, and the maid quickly put the curtain on her. She could only lift a little bit of the veil in front of her and vaguely looked outside the carriage.
There were crowds of people, people from all over the north and south, coming and going, hustling in the huge capital city gates.
Very lively.
There are so many people.
Liu Anan lay on the carriage and watched the whole way.
Everything in the capital is different from what she has seen. Whether it is the pavilions and tiles, four wide roads that can be passed in parallel, or the merchants who come and go, they are all telling the prosperity of the capital.
The carriage shook all the way, and Liu Anan felt that it might have been nearly an hour before he stopped.
After stopping, Liu Anan was about to lift the curtain when the groom outside held it.
"Miss, please be careful not to be impatient."
Don't let her go?
Liu Anan was confused for a long time. The groom outside seemed to move, changed positions with the person, and then the carriage turned again.
Another quarter of an hour later, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a fat white woman holding her hair helped Liu Anan get off the carriage. Without waiting for her to ask, she immediately helped her to take her onto the carriage.
Liu An An An didn't dare to look up, and he twisted his fingers and said nothing, allowing the four fat white women to carry her away.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Liu Anan was sent to a dark and light-free side hall.
She wore a veil and sat on the brown mat in a regular manner. On the lower edge of the veil, she could see a few women who had changed into indigo skirts standing in several places.
This is already in the palace...
She actually came in like this.
Liu Anan felt very uneasy. She felt empty when she didn't see the tyrant, as if she had no sense of security.
This is a completely unfamiliar place, and everyone is so indifferent that she is a little scared.
The empty side hall is a dark place that has been uninhabited for a long time. There is even a musty smell in the air, which makes people dare not let go of breathing.
Liu Anan's legs were numb when she sat down. The serious women didn't move at all, and even the maid didn't dare to move.
I was going to stand up and move, but the serious woman suddenly looked at her, like a knife.
Seeing this, Liu Anan sat down honestly and only secretly rubbed his numb ankle.
Maybe it's a long time.
Liu Anan seemed to have already sniffed.
I was so hungry that I could clearly outline the shape of my empty stomach, and my lips and tongue were dry and it was even more difficult to swallow.
The side hall is empty and large, and there are no other arrangements except for one screen and a long table.
From a distance, you can hear footsteps outside the hall and the sound of kneeling in unison.
Liu Anan raised his eyes and waited excitedly.
The man crosses the threshold and bypasses the screen.
But in just one or two hours, he had already changed his appearance.
Chu Yu was wearing a black regular dress, tied his hair and crowned it, perhaps because his sideburns were all combed, and a bit of evil spirit was added between his eyebrows.
From afar, it makes people frightened.
The women had already kneeled down silently, holding their hands on the floor and putting their foreheads on their hands.
Seeing that Chu Yu had already walked up to her, Liu Anan felt panic and bowed down like those women.
She lay on the brown mat and could only see a pair of black boots embroidered with gold thread on the man's feet through the edge of the veil.
Suddenly, the man raised his hand and took off her hat.
The two people looked at each other.
Liu Anan was stunned and his lips moved, not knowing what to say.
Chu Yu pinched the hat and patted the girl's dull face with the corner.
"After waiting for a long time, I can't speak anymore?"
To be continued...
