Chapter 511 Foolish Man (34)
On New Year's Day, Zhao Chao and Jiang Tang got on the carriage heading to Kyoto. Mrs. Zhao stood in front of the door and watched the carriage leave, quietly red-eyed.
Mr. Zhao noticed his wife's little mood and patted her shoulder.
"It's okay, Jiang Tang is stable and won't let anything happen to Xiao Chao."
"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think about Xiao Chao leaving and having to feed his two precious horses myself."
Mr. Zhao is used to his wife being hard-spoken and soft-hearted, so why shouldn't he be worried.
That kid from Xiaochao doesn't have a city and doesn't understand the etiquette of the powerful. If he accidentally says something wrong or does something wrong, it will be the crime of beheading.
Now that I think about it, it would be better to let Xiao Chao live a mediocre life. If he is a child and wants to get rich, and is noticed by too many high-ranking people, he will have to be cautious about painting for those people. Zhao Chao does not know how to process art. They all come randomly. If you offend those people, the whole family will suffer.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
I hope Jiang Tang can protect Zhao Chao well and prevent him from making mistakes.
Because of the cold weather and freezing conditions, the horses did not run fast and had to rest and adjust at all times. The journey that was supposed to be completed in three days took seven days.
The streets of Kyoto are wide, flat and lively, full of bright red lanterns and children wearing new clothes.
Zhao Chao saw someone making clay figurines on the side of the road and wanted to go down and buy one, but suddenly he remembered what his mother had told him before, not to talk but to look, so he had no choice but to withdraw his head.
"Jiang Tang, when can we go home?"
After seven days of traveling, Zhao Chao was already a little tired.
Jiang Tang was in better health than Zhao Chao and didn't show any signs of fatigue. He had no choice but to hug Zhao Chao and comfort him.
"We can go back after the Chinese New Year."
Zhao Chao happily leaned his head on Jiang Tang's shoulder, his handsome and delicate face facing her, his narrow phoenix eyes blinking, staring at the tiny down hair on Jiang Tang's face.
"Jiang Tang, I think..."
Zhao Chao's eyes seemed to be hooked, with rippling water, and his clear and pale eyes were filled with a faint desire. Jiang Tang chose not to look at his eyes. "No, think about it when you go back."
"I don't like Kyoto anymore."
Zhao Chao was extremely frustrated. This was even more unbearable than being unable to make lanterns and not being able to see them as lanterns.
He liked Jiang Tang and wanted to be with her every day. When he arrived in Kyoto, Jiang Tang couldn't even satisfy him.
In the evening, the carriage stopped. Jiang Tang and Zhao Chao stepped out of the carriage and saw a high city wall in front of them, which was fully ten meters high.
In front of him was the entrance to the palace. At the tall and magnificent city gate, two rows of guards wearing soft armor gave orders.
"Routine search! Take out the package."
Lord Wang was waiting at the entrance of the palace. Jiang Tang opened both packages and searched them for them.
In the end, all Zhao Chao's gadgets, including the wooden figures and bamboo dragonflies Jiang Tang made for him, were seized.
No matter how dissatisfied Zhao Chao was, he could not break open the wooden figure to show them that it was solid inside.
I have no choice but to wait until I leave the palace and come back to get it.
After being released, Jiang Tang and Zhao Chao walked slowly behind Mr. Wang. A group of patrolling guards appeared on the roadside from time to time, and they would clasp their fists and salute when they saw Mr. Wang.
Jiang Tang is very familiar with all this.
Why is it just familiar? It has to do with my fragmented memory.
After walking for almost half an hour, Mr. Wang finally led the two of them to stop in front of an elegant garden.
"This is where you will live in the next few days. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones have been prepared. Meals will be delivered by the palace maid every day. Please wait for the emperor's instructions. Don't move around. Remember?"
