Meilian said that tears flowed out of her sadness, Chen Tao, who was sitting next to Meilian, saw Meilian crying, and quickly took out his white handkerchief to wipe Meilian's tears and said: "Sister Meilian, you are wrong, rich people are very attentive, but there are also those who are very infatuated without being attentive, for example, I am the kind of infatuated and single-minded." ”

Midland looked at Chen Tao and said: "Chen Tao, I know you have a good impression of me, and you have taken good care of me along the way, but you haven't had a girlfriend yet, I am a person who has been hurt, are you willing to accept such a woman?"

Chen Tao held Meilian's hand and said, "Sister Meilian, I am willing." ”

Meilian saw that the guests around her were all looking at them, and Meilian whispered to Chen Tao: "Chen Tao, let's not talk about this, you see many people looking at the two of us with their eyes." ”

Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, when you go to the capital in a while, I will invite you to Quanjude to eat roast duck, and by the way, I will take you to the food street in Dongshi to have a look, and I will take you to the two major shopping malls in Dongdan and Xidan to buy some clothes and daily necessities." ”

Meilian said happily: "I like to go shopping for snacks and go to shopping malls, and I like to go to the Forbidden City even more." ”

Chen Tao told stories and jokes to Meilian along the way, coaxing Meilian very happy. At the end of the 6-hour flight, it landed at the capital airport, and when Meilian came to the ground, she said happily: "The Beijing I have always dreamed of has finally arrived, and I am so happy." ”

Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, you wait for a while, my driver will arrive right away." ”

When Chen Tao and Meilian were talking, a black Rolls-Royce stopped beside Chen Tao, and a middle-aged man in his 30s came to Chen Tao's side and took the suitcase and said, "Young master, please get in the car." ”

Meilian saw the driver's respectful look towards Chen Tao and thought, it is really worthy of being the son of a rich family, it is really different, his family is so powerful and rich, can he be a sincere mother to me? Meilian is thinking nonsense, Chen Tao took Meilian's hand and came to the co-pilot and said: "Sister Meilian, this is my car, you get in the car quickly, I will drive for you." ”

After Meilian came to the co-pilot and sat down, Chen Tao and the driver changed positions and drove in person, Chen Tao said while driving: "Sister Meilian, when you arrive in the capital, it is home, here I have the final say, you can eat whatever you want to eat and I don't have to be polite." ”

Meilian said: "It's more than 4 o'clock now, and it's almost dawn, you can find a place to eat something, don't the two of us eat on the plane?"

Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, are you sleepy?"

Xia Meilian said: "On the plane, you gave me Red Bull and coffee, I was refreshed, and I was not sleepy at all." ”

Chen Tao smiled and said, "Sister Meilian, if you don't sleepy, I'll take you to a good place, how about we go to Tianmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony?"

Meilian clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I want to go and see it too." ”

Chen Tao was also happy, and put on cheerful music, and drove the Rolls-Royce to Tianmen Square, where tourists from all over the country had gathered, as well as many foreigners, who were waiting for the solemn and sacred moment to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

After a while, the national flag guard composed of 36 armed police officers and soldiers from a corner of the Tianmen City Tower crossed the Jinshui Bridge with neat steps, crossed Chang'an Avenue, and walked towards the flag-raising platform.

Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, look at it, the flag-raising ceremony will start soon. ”

Thirty-six armed police officers and men lined up in a neat line to the flag-raising platform, and the leading officers and soldiers saluted the national flag first, and after the flag-raiser threw the national flag out beautifully, the majestic national anthem sounded, and the masses who watched the flag-raising spontaneously sang along with it, "Get up, people who don't want to be slaves。。。。。。 Everyone present, including Xia Meilian and Chen Tao, raised their right hands high above their heads and sang the national anthem to their heart's content.

After watching the flag-raising ceremony, Meilian felt that she loved the motherland more, loved the capital more, loved the People's Liberation Army more, and felt that she felt extremely proud and proud as a Chinese.

Meilian said to Chen Tao: "Chen Tao, the flag-raising ceremony that I used to watch on TV and the flag-raising ceremony I saw on the scene today feels really different, it is too spectacular, especially the moment when the flag raiser shakes the national flag away, the action is too handsome, listening to the majestic national anthem, singing the national anthem together, it makes my mood surging and boiling, I feel that I am really proud and proud as a Chinese!"

Chen Tao said: "Me too, every time I see the flag, I am infected, I really want to be a soldier to protect my family and defend the country, but my father made me a businessman." Sister Meilian, I'll accompany you to the car to rest for a while, the Forbidden City can be entered at half past 8, I will take you to visit the Forbidden City first, and then we will go to Quanjude to eat roast duck. ”

Meilian came to the car with Chen Tao, Chen Tao also specially helped Meilian put down the seat and let Meilian lie down to rest, Chen Tao also lay on the seat to rest, and the driver himself sat in the back to rest.

After a while, Chen Tao put Meilian's leg on his lap and took off Meilian's shoes, Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, I'm not sleepy, you're very tired after a day, I'll help you massage and slow down, and you'll go to the Forbidden City in a while." ”

Meilian was about to object, but seeing that Chen Tao was very sincere, she said, "Okay, you have also learned massage!"

Chen Tao held Meilian's little feet and began to massage, Chen Tao should have often massaged and learned how to massage, massaged Meilian's toes and toes, Chen Tao also used his fist to push up Meilian's feet, so that Meilian felt comfortable like never before, Meilian closed her eyes and enjoyed Chen Tao's massage, massaged for more than 10 minutes Chen Tao massaged Meilian's two feet, and then helped Meilian put on her shoes, Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, my technique is okay." ”

Meilian smiled and said: "Chen Tao, you have learned massage, it is really comfortable, and your feet don't feel so tired, you are so good to me." ”

The driver couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, who is this woman who came back with you?"

Chen Tao didn't even look at the driver and said, "Master Zhang, I forgot to introduce you, this is my girlfriend named Xia Meilian." ”

Xia Meilian couldn't help blushing when she heard Chen Tao directly say that she was his girlfriend, and she just wanted to say that she was not his girlfriend, but her mouth didn't open.

The driver said happily: "It turned out to be the young master's girlfriend, young master, you went out and brought back a girlfriend who is like a flower, and the old man will be very happy to see it." ”

Time passed quickly, the sky was bright, and the gate of the Forbidden City was opened, Chen Tao asked the driver to look at the car and took Xia Meilian's hand and said: "Sister Meilian, the Forbidden City is open, I will accompany you to the Forbidden City to play, and I can also be a guide for you." ”

Xia Meilian said: "Chen Tao, why did you say that I was your girlfriend in front of your driver just now, which made me feel embarrassed." ”

Chen Tao hurriedly said: "Sister Meilian, I really want you to be my girlfriend, you won't be unwilling, right?"

Meilian said: "I'm not angry, it's just that the two of us don't know each other yet, don't be so hasty to be friends, okay?"

Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, I am also a decent gentleman, I will not bully you until you agree to be my girlfriend, let's go, let's go buy tickets." ”

Chen Tao bought two tickets and took Meilian into the Forbidden City, Chen Tao said: "The Forbidden City is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, and it is also the largest and most complete ancient building complex in existence. ”

Meilian said: "I know, this is where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty lived, it is really imposing, and one person lives in such a big palace." ”

Meilian followed Chen Tao into the noon gate, and Chen Tao introduced: "Sister Meilian, you should have heard of this noon gate, and I have also seen the minister being killed and beheaded at the noon gate on TV. Sister Meilian, you see that there is Jinshui Bridge in front of you, how bold and beautiful. The river in front of the Tianmen is called the Waijinshui River, and the bow-shaped artificial river in front of the Taihe Gate and the Inner Jinshui Bridge and the Gate is called the Neijinshui River, and the five parallel stone bridges across the river are the Neijinshui Bridge. The water of the Inner Jinshui River is introduced into the Forbidden City from the moat at the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, flowing to the south, then to the east, and then to the south, disappearing from time to time, wide or narrow, communicating with the moat outside the southeast corner of the Forbidden City, with a total length of more than 2,000 meters. ”

Chen Tao took a sip of water and continued: "Sister Meilian, the seven bridges of the Waijinshui Bridge are different in terms of the objects of establishment and use. When the imperial power ruled China, the bridge in the middle was called the "Imperial Road Bridge", and it was only for the Son of Heaven to walk. The two sides of the "Royal Road Bridge" are called "Wanggong Bridge", and only the prince of the clan is allowed to walk. The left and right of the "Wanggong Bridge" are called "grade bridges", and the civil and military ministers above the third grade are allowed to walk. As for the "Zhongsheng Bridge" in front of the Taimiao Temple (now known as the Working People's Cultural Palace) and Zhongshan Park, it is used by officials, soldiers, and husbands below the fourth grade. In the middle of the Inner Jinshui Bridge, there is a royal road bridge for the exclusive use of the emperor. The east and west sides of the Royal Road Bridge are the Wanggong Bridge, which is used by members of the royal family and princes and ministers. On both sides of the bridge are grades, which are used by officials above the third grade to walk. The whole function is the same as the Waijinshui Bridge in front of the Tianmen. ”

Meilian smiled and said: "Chen Tao, you know a lot, it seems that I was really right to let you be my guide." ”

Meilian and Chen Tao crossed the inner Jinshui Bridge to the Taihe Palace, Chen Tao said to Meilian: "Sister Meilian, this is the Taihe Palace, it is the largest of the three palaces in the outer court of the Forbidden City, and it is also the largest palace in the Forbidden City, commonly known as the "Jinluan Palace". It was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420) and rebuilt in the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1695). The height of the temple is 35. 05 meters, with an area of 2,377 square meters, a total of 55 rooms, and 72 large columns, it is the tallest building in the Forbidden City. Taihe Hall is the place where the ceremony is held, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties ascended the throne, announced the edict of enthronement, the emperor got married, the queen was canonized, the order will go on the expedition, every year on New Year's Day, the winter solstice, longevity (the emperor's birthday) and other festivals must be congratulated and given by the hundred officials here. ”

Meilian said: "This is the emperor's Jinluan Palace, quickly take a few more photos for me, if you want to open a beautiful face, I can collect it." ”

Chen Tao took out his latest Huawei mobile phone and took a few photos of Meilian. The two of them continued to the Middle Peace Hall.

Chen Tao said: "The Zhonghe Hall is one of the three major halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and belongs to the traditional palace buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is located between the Taihe Hall and the Baohe Hall in the Forbidden City. It is the place where the emperor rested before going to the Taihe Hall to attend the ceremony, and the place where the deacons and officials worshipped. Whenever the emperor sacrifices himself, such as the altar of heaven and the altar of earth, the emperor read the blessing in the Zhonghe Hall the day before. Before the pro-ploughing ceremony is held at the altar, the seeds and agricultural tools are inspected here. ”

Meilian said: "Take a few photos of me here, or use beauty." Chen Tao took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of Meilian, and then the two of them continued to walk forward.
