It's almost the New Year.

The men in the Zhuangzi traveled in groups carrying homemade dried goods and meat products to the markets of the capital.

Everyone plans to sell these goods, and by the way, buy New Year's goods to be used in the village in the capital.

Food was plentiful for us and firewood was sufficient.

We just need to buy things that we don't have.

For example, buy the latest style of cloth and make new clothes that look good. Another example is to buy some children's toys in the capital and so on.

The other is the purchase of fireworks in large quantities.

There are no fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year, where will there be a New Year's flavor.

Xichen and Xiyuan took Xuanyue and me into Beijing.

Xichen stayed in the village to help.

The four of us sat in the same carriage and led the villagers into the city.

Under the city walls at the entrance to the capital, we were inspected by the guards guarding the city for a long time.

Although the young Emperor Shunzhi was already in charge of the Forbidden City, the snobbery of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in various places had always been in stubborn confrontation with the Qing government.

Therefore, the capital is heavily guarded.

Xichen and Xiyuan entertained the officers and soldiers guarding the city outside the carriage.

Xuan Yue waited impatiently in the carriage and almost intervened.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly dissuaded her and calmed her emotions.

Shamaru also secretly let out a nervous exhortation voice through the carriage: "Young lady, you must be steady! This Qing Dynasty is still very good to us Mongols!"

"This princess is really fed up! During the Ming Dynasty, there was no such trouble! This 'Great Qing Kingdom' is really hypocritical! As everyone knows, there have been earth-shaking changes on the other side of the ocean at this time, and the dynasties of the emperors of those countries are all in danger!"

Xuan Yuexiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her delicate and beautiful appearance looked extremely irritable at this time.

I listened a little dazed. This is the second time I have heard such remarks.

When we were about to enter the Central Plains, Xiyuan mentioned a similar point of view like a dragonfly.

"Sister-in-law!" I said, "how do you know this? What are those countries on the other side of the ocean like now? I heard Xiyuan say that the current emperor is still a child, but the queen mother who listens to the government is very powerful. ”

Xuan Yue's mood gradually stabilized.

She sighed and said faintly: "Wu knows the world and can predict the future, and the heavens must not be revealed. The Chinese country has been worshipping for thousands of years, and it is worshiped by all countries. It's just that these hundreds of years in the future...... Yue'er, I can't say more. In short, all these mortal things have nothing to do with us. ”

I pondered Xuan Yue's words carefully and said, "...... According to your literal meaning, there will be some big things in the Huaxia Congress in the future?"

Xuan Yue smiled and said, "The last thing we lack is time, and you will naturally know it when the time comes." In short, nothing affects us. ”

"Maybe!" I said, "but in the future, who can tell?"

Xuan Yue looked at me with some surprise and said, "You can see it thoroughly. ”

We looked at each other and smiled, and didn't continue the conversation.

Shamaru suddenly said, "Two ladies, an official has come to check the car, please wear a veil." ”

Nuoqing, who was guarding outside the carriage, immediately came in and helped me put on the veil.

Xuanyue's girl, Fluttershy, also comes in to help Xuanyue put the veil on.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted.

A man dressed as an officer, with half of his face in and his eyes exposed, glanced into the carriage, then lowered the curtain, and withdrew from the carriage.

Soon someone outside the carriage shouted the order: "Release!"

Our team finally passed the inspection and entered the city!

I gently lifted the curtains and looked out.

The capital is not as prosperous as I imagined.

There are very few pedestrians along the way.

I said, "I heard that the Han people in the inner city have been forced to move to the outer city by the imperial court. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

"Today, there is a system of eight banners in the imperial court, which divides the people in the court into eight banners, including Manchus, Han Chinese, and Mongolians. Among them, the Manchu banner people are the head," Xuan Yue said lightly, "The Han people who were ordered to move out were all people who did not have a flag membership. ”

"What is the flag?" I asked.

"The household registration of the banner people," Xuan Yue said, "if those Han people have a banner registration, it means that they have been given the status of Manchu by the emperor." ”

That is, the Qing Dynasty regarded those who had flag names as their own. ”

"That's right, but after all, there will still be three, six, nine and so on. Whether it is the Manchu people themselves or people of other nationalities. ”

It's not the first day I know about Xuan Yue's knowledge.

It's just that every time I talk to her, I always learn a lot.

Sometimes, I can't help but feel that Xiyuan and her are a perfect match......

Alas......

I watched Xuan Yue stunned, and secretly made up my mind in my heart not to let myself be a vase that only knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I want to work hard and be a virtuous helper in Xiyuan.

Xichen and Xiyuan arranged the men's affairs, told Wolf Tooth and Shamaru to supervise well, and then took a few family members and led us to wander the streets.

They are very familiar with the capital.

led the two of us to a Chinese New Year flower market.

It doesn't matter how old we are now.

Girls always love to go shopping.

Xuan Yue and I both seemed very excited at the flower market.

Keep walking, looking, the bustle in front of us makes us dizzy.

Two large men silently followed behind us.

In a short time, the accompanying family members had many more things in their hands.

Of course, those were bought by me and Xuanyue.

When we passed by a fortune stall, we were stopped by the fortune teller who set up the stall.

"The two sons are personable, and they are really unprecedented and unprecedented, so why don't you let the old man count you as a hexagram?"

The somewhat old and hoarse voice made us stop curiously.

Xi Chen glanced at the old gentleman with an indifferent face.

The family next to Xichen immediately walked over and said, "Old man, how much ability do you have?

"Hmph," the fortune teller, with some gray hair, stroked his beard, and looked confident, "The old man dares to keep people, naturally he has two brushes! You are not...... Ordinary 'people'!"

The words of the fortune teller managed to arouse the interest of all of us.

Xichen and Xiyuan both raised their eyebrows and ordered Jiading to find four stools.

Four of us, sitting side by side in front of the booth.

Xiyuan smiled and said, "Old man, what can you see?"

"Hehe...... fortune teller has a horse face, a pair of cloudy eyes are shining, he squinted slightly, and whispered, "Childe, you, not a human!"

Xichen's eyes immediately showed a cold look.

Xi Yuan stared at the fortune teller expressionlessly and said, "Old man, you are old, it is inevitable that your old eyes will be dizzy! We are not people, what can we be?"

Who knows, the fortune teller suddenly said complacently: "The wolf is full of beard, and the tail of the wolf is loaded." Gongsun Shuo skin, a few bare. The wolf has its tail and its beard. Gongsun Shuo's skin, his virtue is flawless?"

Xiyuan's face changed slightly, and he was still as steady as Mount Tai: "The old gentleman really likes to laugh." ”

The fortune teller smiled faintly: "The ant dream can see through it, and the fox demon can sit and capture." ”

As soon as the fortune teller said this, all four of us were a little surprised.

Xiyuan and Xichen both ordered their respective families to pay some money to the fortune teller.

"Sir, may you speak further?"

Xiyuan's deep eyes stared at this fortune teller for a moment.
