Chapter 968: The City That Never Sleeps
After Xu Qing and his family arrived in Chang'an City, they lived in the Hanwang Mansion in the center of Chang'an, which was specially built.
The specifications of Xiao Ye and King Xian are not as good as that of King Han's Mansion, but these two people obviously don't care how they live.
Now Weizhou can be said to have become the largest factory in Chu State, with sufficient raw materials, sufficient labor and a clear division of labor.
And Chang'an City is the place where the things they produce are exchanged for wealth.
In Xinhan Palace, Xiao Ruxue was claiming her own new room, Su Qian and Li Mingyue were also tidying up, and all the servant girls were busy along with them.
The family also tacitly reserved a room for Long Binger, and they tidied it up very neatly.
Although Long Binger is not here.
Today's Chang'an City basically has the scale and framework, except that the city wall has not been repaired yet.
But the construction of the city wall is not in a hurry.
Because although Chang'an here is large, it did not appear as a city.
Since it is not a city, it doesn't really matter whether there is a city wall or not.
Anyway, there are many soldiers here, and the three countries must station troops in places that belong to their own garrisons and demarcate areas for inspections, so there is no need to worry about being criminals.
The defense is extremely strict.
This place can be said to be the intersection of the intelligence networks of the three countries, and the eyes of all parties are gathered here.
Therefore, the construction of the city wall is not in a hurry, it can be done slowly.
After moving, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye's family walked on the street.
Xiao Ye looked at Chang'an City, which was still brightly lit at night, and couldn't help sighing: "It really looks like a prosperous age."
Xu Qing walked beside Xiao Ye and said: "Chang'an can become a city that never sleeps, and it is also inseparable from the joint efforts of the three countries in the Central Plains. If it weren't for expelling the barbarians to shake hands and make peace at home, An could have such a scene."
Xiao Ye said: "If you want me to say, the most important thing is that there is a person who is foolish and has a lot of money."
Xu Qing couldn't help but nodded when he heard Xiao Ye's words, deeply agreeing.
What Xiao Ye said is indeed very reasonable.
If Zhao Guo didn't give 300,000 taels, how could Chang'an be prosperous today?
Such a scene may not be seen until next year.
Soon a hundred Kongming lanterns flew up in Chang'an City, and soon ten thousand fireworks exploded into the air.
In an instant, it seemed that the city of Chang'an was about to be illuminated like daylight.
Moreover, many couples came out of the jewelry shop on the side, and after they came out, a pair of glass accessories that could be put together appeared on their waists.
There is also a delicate wooden box in the hand.
There is a sentence engraved on the wooden box: Love is as fragile as glass, and mandarin ducks grow together.
This sentence was written by Xu Qing after asking the Great Confucianism, and the style came up immediately.
Thanks Daru.
Now this colored glaze shop only sells such pairs of glazed ornaments. It is rumored that the shopkeeper has a unique craftsman spirit and only does one thing well in his life. Every piece of colored glaze is carefully selected, and the master carves each piece with great value. The colored glaze has become the most unpretentious token of love between boys and girls.
If you want an engagement token, you have to pay more...
Xu Qing was even moved by the not wanting face propaganda of this glazed shop, it is really a true story of a profiteer!
Colored glass is bound to love, and even men and women in aristocratic families will come here to buy colored glass as a token of love.
Simply top-notch marketing.
Fortunately, Xu Qing's not wanting face, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do such a profiteering thing.
Xiao Ye looked at Chang'an City, which was filled with lights all over the street and bustling, and said, "Brother Xu, this seems a little too bustling, doesn't it?"
Xu Qing said: "Today is different, Chang'an doesn't celebrate like this every day."
"Different?" Xiao Ye asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"
Xu Qing said, "Today is the eleventh day of November."
"November eleventh?" Xiao Ye asked suspiciously, "Is there any difference?"
Xu Qing said; "Double Eleven is a carnival shopping festival, with a 20% discount on the products of the National Chamber of Commerce. Brother Xiao said, should we celebrate it?"
"Carnival shopping festival?" Xiao Ye was surprised: "Can you still play like this? You have to create a festival just to buy things?"
Xu Qing said: "How is it? Isn't it very creative?"
Xiao Ye said: "It's just that the name is not very good, Carnival Shopping Festival... It's too straightforward and vulgar."
There is a kind of vulgarity that Xiao Ye thinks is vulgar.
Xiao Ye, who is the most uneducated, said so, so it seems that it is indeed vulgar.
No way, think about the explanation of the Central Plains, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Ghost Festival...
Even Ghost Festival is so elegant and pleasant.
The carnival shopping festival also deserves to be the name of the festival in the Central Plains?
What a loss!
Because the existence of this carnival shopping festival even lowered the style of other festivals in the Central Plains.
Xu Qing, who was born with a bad name, sighed, waved his hands and said, "I'll let the great Confucian think of a nice one someday, why not?"
In case of indecision, leave it to the great Confucianism.
There will always be a great Confucianist with great literary talent who will submit a satisfactory answer.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue suddenly stretched out her hand to grab a shiny object, and quickly held it in front of Xu Qing: "Husband, Husband! Look, it's snowing!"
Bright lights, fireworks and falling snow, is there any more beautiful scenery in the world than this?
Xiao Ruxue, who was already a wife, was jumping around at this moment, completely unaware that she was already an adult.
It seems that Xiao Ruxue at this time is still the lively and lovely Princess Yongle that Xu Qing first saw in Yongzhou back then.
At this time, Xiao Ning'er was holding hands by Xuan'er while looking at Mother Xue'er who was more lively than him.
Maybe Xiao Ning'er was thinking at this time: When will Mother Xue'er be as mature as him?
The princess became a princess, and the princess became Mrs. Xu. Unexpectedly, many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
From being alone to such a big family now.
From a small catcher who can make things difficult for even a county lieutenant at will, he became His Highness the King of Han today.
How much has changed in just a few years!
But the one who changed the most was not Xu Qing but Xiao Ruxue.
At any rate, it took Xu Qing several years to become like this, while Xiao Ruxue only took shape in just over a month, with her two hours of unremitting efforts every day, she had already begun to take shape.
Although apart from Xiao Ning'er and Xu Qing, he still couldn't compare to anyone in the family.
But anyway, there has been a fairly obvious improvement!
Do not!
More than an obvious improvement?
This is simply the difference between cloud and mud!
I believe that following this progress, it is not impossible to come from behind.
Of course, it is possible, but the road is still very difficult.
Although Xu Qing gave Xiao Ye special care, the others only had one turn every three or four days, while Xiao Ruxue had one turn every day and it took longer than theirs.
But they have a good foundation!
The other members of the family needed Xu Qing to use all his strength to help Xiao Ruxue catch up after a while.
