Chapter 8: West Market Encounter

It is not allowed to open shops on the streets of Chang'an. The imperial court

has set aside two areas for commercial transactions. These are the eastern and

western cities.

Dongshi is regarded as a domestic market. There are more than two hundred and

twenty kinds of commodities operated in the market.

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 at that time and the most prosperous

international trade.

Yonglefang, where Li's family lives, is close to the East Market, and quite

far from the West Market, and needs to go through five squares. Fortunately,

Li Zexuan took a group of people to the West Market in a hurry, and by the

way, he could admire the authentic ancient buildings of the Tang Dynasty.

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

Before going too far, Lan Er grabbed Li Zexuan's hand and refused to move

forward.

Li Zexuan, who was admiring the ancient buildings on both sides of the road,

was speechless, how far he had traveled, and it was less than two miles away.

This little girl started to cry tired, but now I can’t care about it. Who

makes this my little girl? Well, you should hire a carriage when you go out in

the morning.

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

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

Laner 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:

"It is said 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 there is a fairy

stone on the mountain. It cracked, and an egg rolled out of the stone. This

egg turned into a stone monkey at the sight of the wind. The monkey's eyes

shot out golden light 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..."

What Li Zexuan intends to tell the little girl is "Journey to the West", which

happened to be read countless times when he was a child, and many plots can be

remembered clearly, and the story is long, so he can make a long-term serial

for the little girl, which will be a long time later. In time, there is no

need to worry about how to coax the little girl.

Of course, it is not possible to 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 relevant 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 with such evil fun.

When talking about the Great Sage Qitian making trouble in the Heavenly

Palace, and being 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 candy

man, and take you to 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 unfulfilled, each with regret.

"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 them

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, but 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 guard the young man.

"It's probably a second-generation official to go out and experience life."

Li Zexuan muttered inwardly. But seeing that 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 plainly offended others,

so she also bowed her hands in politeness:

"I'm afraid that I was disappointed to teach this young man. This is not a

novel on the market, but 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

was about to ask for the name and send someone to buy a copy and read it back.

arches hands again:

"I respect my brother and great talent. I am afraid that this story will not

be made up without the imagination. Little brother Li Gaoming, this is my

sister Li Lizhi. I want to make friends with your Excellency. I don't know

what you call your Excellency?"

When I went out, I did not expect to encounter 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 False praise is just a silly story. It's hard to make it

into the elegant hall. A certain name is Li Zexuan, and his family lives in

Changlefang. You have also made a friend."

This young man is the current prince Li Chengqian, his character is brilliant,

so he claims to be Li Gaoming is not a deceit, but Li Zexuan was an

engineering dog in his previous life, and how can he study the history of the

Tang Dynasty so deeply, UU reading www.uukanshu.com naturally does not know.

What is Li Chengqian's character?

The little girl is Changle Princess Li Lizhi. She is seven years old this

year. She looks like her name. She has a sickly white skin. Although she is

only one year older than Lan'er, she is actually much taller than Lan'er. Li

Lizhi has suffered from qi disease since childhood, which 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 sister to the West Market to relax.

I did not expect that I met a teenager who told such an interesting story. I

listened to my sister with gusto. When the blood was boiling, suddenly

suddenly Only then did Li Chengqian start to talk.

After the two introduced 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 in

the back."

Li Chengqian looked happy. After all, he was 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 Lizheng has a look of regret. 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 separated from 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:

"Little sister, don't worry, I will come back immediately after listening to

the story from Li Zexuan and tell the little girl, OK?"

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

Chengqian:

"Well, thank you, Brother Prince!"
