The fast travel is too late

Chapter 119

Previously, Wei Pu made an appointment with Xin Wu to take a short rest in the house and then take people out for fun, either inside or outside the city.

The capital is so big that it is impossible for the ladies and gentlemen of the aristocratic families to just stay at home and not go out, there will always be some places to play.Maybe someone's manor is open to the outside world, maybe it's a hill outside the city, which is a good place for spring or mountaineering.

Xin Wu didn't know much about Kyoto at all. Although Wei Pu contacted the people left behind by his father in advance, they only talked about confidential matters or the current situation in Kyoto. What does he think about Kyoto that are worth seeing? Also unclear.

So they chose a sunny day to go out after a few days.

Kyoto is the capital of a country, and there is no curfew here. Whether it is day or night, there are many people coming and going on the street.

The street is very wide, and two carriages pulled by two horses can pass side by side. The ground is paved with square bluestone slabs, which are smooth and smooth, and the carriage will not feel bumpy when walking on it.Moreover, there are strict divisions between streets in Kyoto. In some places, every street is full of shops. There are no vendors on such streets, not even people holding baskets in their hands to hawk.

Kyoto divides things, the more you go to the east, the more dignitaries gather, while the west is mostly common people, and various markets mixed with people and snakes. It is said that anything can be sold in the most remote places, as long as you pay For a price, he can sell you even the clothes worn by the emperor.But they only sell things and don’t talk about human lives.

"They must have a powerful backer behind them!" Xin Wu was sitting in the elegant seat of a teahouse at this time, listening carefully to the waiter in the teahouse introducing them to new places in Kyoto.

"That's not it," the shop clerk raised his head and looked around, seeing no one was eavesdropping, so he half-covered his mouth with his hands, and said mysteriously: "I heard that this is behind them."

He gestured quietly with the other hand, and pointed to the sky with his index finger upright.

Is this saying that behind those people is the emperor?
Xin Wu also imitated him and gestured, as if he was communicating with a secret signal, "But that person is so noble, how could he do such a thing? Shouldn't that person be the one with the most beautiful scenery?"

"It looks like you are from out of town, and the place you come from is probably far away from Kyoto. Anyone who is close by knows this." The waiter grinned, and he was not surprised. There are rumors about this kind of thing. Sometimes the speed is fast and sometimes very slow. If it is interrupted a little, the previous one will be replaced by the new one, and no one will think of it.

He began to popularize the rumors that have been circulating in Kyoto for several years.

As we all know, this emperor has been on the throne for less than ten years, and will only reach ten years by the end of this year.

Want to say the emperor!It must be sitting on three thousand beauties, and the money is innumerable. After all, he has a country as his backing, so how could he get less money!

But here I have to mention the previous emperor. He was an emperor who liked to enjoy himself. He had a bottom line and would not attack the treasury. When he abdicated, the emperor had no money left in the treasury.So the former prince and the current emperor will face an empty treasury after succeeding to the throne. Everyone knows this, at least everyone in the capital knows it.

Originally!There is no money in the internal treasury, and the treasury has money, and today they are not extravagant, and they only have money after a few years of saving.

But today's luck is probably not very good. Since he took the throne, the policies he has promulgated are all beneficial to the country and the people, without any arrogance. However, the barbarians on the grasslands suddenly closed the border due to years of heavy snow a few years ago, and the border customs are worth a fortune. Not a small expenditure, and the floods in the south nearer to the south have destroyed more than one county and one city. Therefore, not only the internal treasury is empty, but even the national treasury is unable to make ends meet.

At this time, someone proposed to Jinshang that he should do some small business, not to compete for profits with the people, but to earn some money for the national treasury. Who would disagree with Jinshang, so the market in the west was opened.

"If a girl wants to collect some gadgets, she can go to Wanwuji. No matter how you say it, it is under the name of a big man. There is no petty theft, and there will be no suspicion of shopkeepers bullying customers. It is really a good place . And I heard that they have a new trick recently. Every seven days there will be a sales meeting. It is said to be some kind of auction meeting. Every time the finale sells some amazing items, the last time it was some calligraphy and painting. Mr. Liu He's picture of winter plum blossoms is said to be very valuable!"

The waiter in the shop said it with joy, and he really recommends Wanwuji very carefully.

Xin Wu was a little moved when she heard it. In modern times, she liked boutiques and other places. Every time she had some change, she would go to the store to have a look, and buy something exquisite and interesting when she saw it.

According to the waiter in the shop, there are everything in Wanwuji, but it is much more interesting than the boutiques she visited before.

"How long will it take to go from here to Wanwuji?" Wei Pu interrupted the waiter's words by tapping the table.

Although what the waiter said was interesting, he didn't like him getting too close to the little girl.

"If you take a shortcut, you can get there in less than half an hour. You pass through the alleys of other people's houses. People in the alleys like to put many potted plants in front of and behind the doors. There are many kinds of flowers and plants. Enjoy the sights along the way. The time spent appreciating flowers and grass passes very quickly. Is this the one who leads the way?"

The waiter rubbed his fingers together with a flattering smile on his face.

"Put another plate of salty snacks, and the guide told him to come over in half an hour."

Wei Pu looked at the snacks in front of Xin Wu and didn't move much. The little girl didn't eat anything in the morning. Although the snacks were not a main meal, she had some to fill her stomach. It was not good for her health to always be hungry for one reason or another.

"Yes."

The shop clerk bent down and exited the door, after a while he brought a plate of snacks and went out again, this time he did not come back.

"Aren't we going now? Why wait half an hour?" Xin Wu asked curiously.

"You ate too little in the morning, and you don't know when to eat lunch today. Eat some snacks to fill your stomach, so as not to be hungry by then."

Wei Pu moved the snack in front of Xin Wu. The little girl likes sweet food but doesn't like too sweet food. She always eats sweet and salty food. She doesn't know when she got into the habit.

She didn't expect that such a reason would make her stay in the teahouse for so long.

Xin Wu pouted and said, "I thought Xi Hui would take me out today and go to the snack street, I mean the kind of stalls that have all kinds of special snacks on the whole street, so I deliberately eat less in the morning. Save your stomach for snacks!”

Wei Pu didn't expect the little girl to think so, so he took a sip from his teacup to hide his embarrassment.

It’s still a long way to go, Xin Wu also took a sip of tea silently and ate some desserts. Just now she heard that the teahouse’s dim sums are delicious, so let’s eat dim sums now. If you go to Wanwuji later, you can go there anyway. And won't run.
