Chapter 67: The Capital

"Miss, look, the capital has arrived!" Qian Xi pulled up the curtain of the carriage with one hand, pointed to the city that was gradually becoming clear in the distance, and turned back to his young lady and said excitedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Ji lightly followed the shallow gaze, looking at the majestic city wall in front of her, the mottled city gate, and the simple characters on the city gate, after hundreds of years of precipitation, all of them showed a sense of history. This was the capital of this dynasty, the center of politics, economy and culture. She thought that even if there was no reason for Li Yuanche, she would definitely find a way to take a look after crossing and being reborn once.

In the capital, she is finally here.

"Miss, you're about to enter the city gate, do you want to show our Wang family's family crest?" Ding Erniu, the captain of the escort who was driving, sat in front of the carriage and looked back and asked. Leaving Jiangzhou this time, Wang Jiqing only brought two big girls, Qian Xi and Thirteen Niang, and eight guards including Ding Erniu into Beijing in a low-key manner. Yesterday, six guards had already entered Beijing in advance to prepare, and at this time, only Ding Erniu and another guard were left to follow the carriage as a coachman.

As the political center of the dynasty, the capital was much more fortified than other prefectures and counties. To enter and exit the capital, you need to go through the inspection of the guards at the city gate. Wang Xi looked lightly at the outside of the carriage, although it was still early at this time, the people waiting to enter the city outside the city gate had already lined up for a long time. Wang Xiqing knew that a privileged family like the Jiangzhou Wang family was naturally different from these ordinary people, and as long as his party showed his family badge and identified himself, he could enter the city directly without queuing.

"No, follow these people and line up into the city." Wang Ji lightly thought of the chaos in the capital at this time, the situation was unknown, after the divorce with the Cui family, with the marriage of the county lord of Annan and Cui Sanlang, his identity was also sensitive, and he and the others were newcomers, so it was better to keep a low profile.

The carriage followed the front team slowly, and after half an hour, the group passed the inspection of the guards at the city gate and entered the capital smoothly.

Walking on the streets of the capital, Wang Ji and a few people looked at the streets on both sides with regression. The capital is very prosperous, but this prosperity has some obvious differences from the cities in the south. This city with a strong sense of history has some proud capital, and it seems that even the ordinary people on the street have the word tsundere on their faces.

The carriage slowly headed towards Suzaku Street, the most prosperous street in the capital.

The Wang family's courtyard in the capital is located in the locust tree alley at the end of Suzaku Street, which is a big mansion with three entrances and three exits. The location in the field there is very good, quiet in the middle of the noise, and it is a very rare yard. This courtyard has been taken care of by the servants of the Wang family for a long time, and it is not deserted, and the master of the Wang family lives here every time he enters Beijing.

At the end of Suzaku Street, the carriage quietly turned around and entered a small alley. There is a very tall locust tree in the alley, which can be seen from a distance when standing on Suzaku Street, and this locust tree alley is also named after it. The house where this locust tree is facing the door is the Wang family's other courtyard in the capital.

Ding Erniu motioned for another guard to get out of the car and knock on the door. There was a knock on the door, and the door of the house creaked open. The one who opened the door was one of the guards who entered the city early yesterday.

"Miss, we're here." Seeing this, Ding Erniu jumped out of the carriage, moved a low stool, and let the girls in the carriage get off.

Wang Ji entered the courtyard lightly and looked at the house all the way. Although this annex does not have the delicacy of the Jiangnan garden, it has more of the rough beauty of the north, which is very in line with his own heart.

When she entered the courtyard of the second entrance, Wang Ji entered her room lightly, got acquainted with it briefly, changed into homely clothes, and asked the maid in charge who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time to come and talk back.

"Slave Qiaolian, please say hello to Miss Six." A middle-aged servant woman in her thirties knelt down and replied sharply with the corners of her mouth.

"This courtyard has been taken care of by the slave's man Zhang Li and the slave maid together for the past ten years, my man is in charge of the affairs of the outer courtyard, and this inner house is taken care of by the slave maid."

"Get up. The yard is well tied, and in the future, the two maids I brought in the yard will be in charge, and you will take care of the rest. Wang Ji picked up the teacup lightly, looking like a lady's show. The defense of the courtyard will be taken over by the guards I brought, and the rest of the daily affairs will be taken care of by Zhang Li. ”

"The slave maid family is grateful for the trust of Miss Six, and they will do their best to serve the good lady." Qiao Lian kowtowed again before standing up.

"Well, you go down first, I'll call you if there's something." Wang Ji put down the teacup lightly.

"Yes." Qiao Lian bowed and retreated.

"Thirteen Niang, I'll go outside and let me know in a while, I'm going to go shopping on the street after lunch." Wang Ji turned around lightly and walked to the inner room, "It's a pity, go to the kitchen and prepare some light meals for me." ”

"Yes," the two maidservants agreed. No matter what time and space they are in, young girls always like to go shopping, and besides, they still want to go shopping in the bustling streets of Beijing.

"Miss, we've almost shopped for clothes and jewelry, let's find a place to rest first." Although he said that he was looking for it, his eyes had already been aimed at Yuelaiju beside him, and he couldn't take his eyes off.

"This Yuelaiju teahouse looks good, let's go in and sit down." Seeing this, Wang Ji smiled and nodded.

The group entered the teahouse, found a corner with few people, sat at two tables for men and women, ordered some melon and fruit tea, and listened to the storytelling on the stage.

"What's so good about this book, if you want to talk about the most popular in our capital recently, you still have to talk about our county lord of Annan."

At a table next to Wang Jiqing and others, several men sitting around looked at the storyteller on the stage and whispered.

"Isn't it, it's going to be lively again today."

"Oh, how do you say that the county lord went to the Tang Guogong Mansion to block people again?"

"Today, I didn't go to the Tang State Mansion, but to the An Guo Mansion."

"Yes, I also heard a few days ago, today is the New Year's banquet of the Duke of Anguo, so the prince of Tang Guo and the prince of Anguo are brothers, so they will naturally go. It's no wonder that the lord of Annan chased after him. ”

"Let's just wait and see the show."

When a few people said this, they laughed a few times and didn't continue.

After listening lightly, Wang Ji's heart moved, and she gave Ding Erniu a look on the side.

Ding Erniu nodded, and walked over to the men's table.

"A few brothers are polite, when I first came to the capital, I saw that a few brothers were quite in love, how about inviting a few of them to drink a cup of tea." Ding Erniu didn't wait for a few people to answer, and then beckoned Dr. Tea to give this table a pot of good tea.

"A few brothers, I just saw a few people who said that the prince of Tang Guo, but General Li Yuanche Li, who became famous in the first war in Northern Xinjiang." Ding Erniu personally poured good tea for a few people, "What I admire the most is these big heroes who kill the enemy in the frontier, and the one I especially worship is this General Li. ”

The matter of the prince of the Tang Kingdom and the lord of Annan is known to everyone in the capital, and it is not a secret that cannot be said. A few people saw that Ding Erniu made a generous move, so they fell in love with Li Yuanche, the prince of Tang Guo, at the New Year's palace banquet, so they threw Cui Sanlang hard, obsessed with the matter of the prince, and talked about it again and again.

Wang Ji glanced at Thirteen Niang with a calm face.

Thirteen Niang just shook her head, she really didn't know that her master had such a romantic affair in the capital.

Thirteen Niang sighed secretly, her master was in trouble this time.
