Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 8: Encounter in West Market


   Shops are not allowed on the streets of Chang'an. The court has set aside two areas for commercial transactions. These are the eastern and western cities.

  East City is regarded as a domestic market. There are more than two hundred and twenty kinds of commodities, all of which are collected from the Quartet.

  West City is an international market, also known as the "golden market", with nearly a thousand shops dealing in various commodity transactions. It was the largest international market with the most prosperous international trade at that time.

   Yonglefang, where Li's family lives, is close to the East City and quite far away from the West City, so you need to go through five squares. Fortunately, Li Zexuan took a group of people to the West Market in a leisurely manner. By the way, he could also admire the authentic ancient buildings of the Tang Dynasty.

   "Brother, Lan'er is tired from walking."

   didn't go far, Lan Er grabbed Li Zexuan's hand and refused to move forward.

   Li Zexuan, who is admiring the ancient buildings on both sides of the road, is speechless. How far has he traveled, less than two miles away, this little girl started to cry tired, but now I can’t leave it alone, who will let this be me? As for my little sister, I should hire a carriage when I go out in the morning.

   "Lan'er insists on it, it will be there soon."

   "No, Lan'er really can't walk anymore."

   Lan'er said bitterly with a small face.

   "Then, let's walk slowly, and while walking, my brother will tell Lan'er a story, OK?"

   Li Zexuan slowly tempted him. There is no way. There is no horse-drawn carriage in this place. You can't go to the West Market with Lan'er on your back.

   Lan'er heard that her brother was going to tell her a story, she immediately became energetic, her feet were not tired, she straightened up quickly, came over and took her brother's hand and said: "Okay, okay, brother, tell her."

  Li Zexuan smiled slightly, took the little girl’s hand and walked forward slowly, recalling as he walked:

  " Legend has it that a long time ago, the world was divided into Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanfangbuzhou, and Beiju Luzhou. In Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Kingdom, there is a mountain of flowers and fruits and a fairy stone on the mountain. , One day the fairy stone burst, and an egg rolled out of the stone. The egg turned into a stone monkey at the sight of the wind. The monkey’s eyes shot out golden lights and worshiped everywhere.

   The monkey can walk and run. If he is thirsty, he will drink some spring water from the mountain stream. If he is hungry, he will eat some fruit from the mountain. Having fun with the animals in the mountains all day, I had a very happy life. One day, the weather was extremely hot. To avoid the hot weather, the monkeys ran to the mountain stream to take a bath. When they saw the spring water rushing, they walked along the stream to find its source..."

   Li Zexuan intends to tell the little girl "Journey to the West". He happened to read countless times when he was a child. Many plots can be remembered clearly, and the story is long, so he can make a long-term serialization for the little girl. For a long time, I don't have to worry about how to coax my little girl.

  , of course, can't tell Lan'er and the others according to the original book. After all, it is the Tang Dynasty and Tang Xuanzang still exists. Li Zexuan decided to change Tang Xuanzang's vest, let's call it Tang Yin, and the related place names have also been changed.

   Hey, I don’t know what Tang Bohu would think of "Journey to the West" for Daming a few hundred years later, Li Zexuan thought so evilly.

   was talking about the Great Sage of Monkey King making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and when he was imprisoned in the gossip furnace by the Supreme Master, the West Market had arrived.

   "Okay, let's stop here today, let's go, brother will take you to the sugar man, take you to see juggling."

   Li Zexuan is going to see this ancient bazaar.

   "Ah, is this here?"

   The little girl obviously hadn't heard enough, and she still looked dissatisfied. Behind her, Xiao He, Xiao Xi, Ah Fu, and San Bao were also obviously still in the mood, and each looked regretful.

  "This dear friend, wait a minute, dare to ask you which story you told me from before. My sister-in-law likes this story very much."

   suddenly walked out of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy behind him, followed by a six or seven-year-old girl, arching his hands to Li Zexuan.

   In fact, Li Zexuan had long noticed that there were two people behind him following them for a long time. After all, the effort was not given for nothing. As he felt that the two of them were not malicious, he didn't bother to pay attention. The roads went half way up the sky, and he didn't have the right to restrict people where they went. Only when they were going to the West Market like himself, he didn't expect the other party to follow behind. Eavesdropping on the story.

   Li Zexuan swept his eyes lightly towards the young man's queen, and found that there seemed to be a dozen good hands pretending to be pedestrians in the crowd behind him to faintly guard the young man.

  "It is estimated that the second generation of officials went out to experience life."

   Li Zexuan muttered inwardly. But seeing that the young man was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a polite manner, the little girl also looked at him expectantly. Li Zexuan was not too good to be big and offended others, so she also bowed her hands in politeness:

   "I'm afraid I was disappointed to teach this young man. This is not a novel on the market. It is just a story made up to coax my little girl."

   "Oh."

   The Jinyi boy looked disappointed. In fact, he liked the story quite a bit. He wanted to ask for the name and send someone to buy a copy.

   arches hands again:

  "Respect brother and talent, this story does not have the imagination of unconstrained imagination, I am afraid that it will not be able to make up, brother Li Gaoming, this is family sister Li Lizhi, brother wants to make friends with your Excellency, I don't know how you call it?"

   went out, unexpectedly meeting two "Journey to the West" fans, Li Zexuan also looked helpless. Seeing that the young man didn’t look like a arrogant and domineering person, he could make friends, so he smiled and said:

  "The little brother is absurd. It's just a silly story about Zou. It's hard to make it into the elegant hall. A certain name is Li Zexuan, and his family lives in Changlefang. You, a friend, also made it."

   This young man is the current prince Li Chengqian, his character is brilliant, so he claims to be Li Gaoming is not a lie, but Li Zexuan was an engineering dog in his previous life, and how can he study the history of the Tang Dynasty so deeply~ IndoMTL.com~ Naturally I don’t know. What is Li Chengqian's character?

   The little girl is the Princess of Changle, Li Lizhi. She is seven years old this year. She looks like her name. She is naturally beautiful and has a sickly white skin. Although she is only one year older than Lan'er, she is actually taller than Lan'er. Much taller, Li Lizhi has suffered from qi disease since she was a child. This can be regarded as a genetic disease of their old Li family.

   Li Chengqian also watched his little sister staying in the palace all day long and unhappy, so today I brought my little girl to Xishi to relax. I didn’t expect to meet a teenager who told such an interesting story. When I heard it with my sister, I was full of enthusiasm. , Suddenly stopped, Li Chengqian began to talk about it.

   After introducing each other, they chatted with each other a few more words, Li Chengqian said:

  "Brother Ze Xuan, there must be more behind the story just now."

   This young man still remembers "Journey to the West", and Li Zexuan did not expect this "Journey to the West" to be so charming in the Tang Dynasty.

   "Of course, what I just said is just the beginning, and it's still growing at the back."

   Li Chengqian has a happy face. After all, he is just a teenager. He said excitedly:

   "The little brother will come home another day, Brother Ze Xuan will continue to give me the rest of the story."

   Li Lizhen looks regretful. The prince brother can often go out of the palace, but as a princess, she cannot ignore the royal etiquette.

   Li Zexuan agreed, and then parted with Li Chengqian, and took the little girl to go shopping.

   Li Chengqian saw Li Lizhi look melancholy, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on, so he said to Li Lizhi:

  "Don’t worry, little girl, I will come back to tell the little girl immediately after listening to the story from Li Zexuan, OK?"

   Li Li's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, and smiled happily at Li Chengqian:

   "Well, thank you, Brother Prince!"
