Chapter 81: Competing for Invitations
Even though Shang Xuesleeve set off from Huodu and passed through so many cities along the way, he was already prepared in his heart, but when the outline of Shangjing was slowly revealed in front of him, he was still shocked in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is a capital city that is difficult to describe in words such as tall and majestic.
The Guangping River turns in Beiyu, but from Beiyu it can be diverted to Shangjing, this river that is diverted is called the Jing River, although it is not enough to undertake heavy transportation tasks, but look at the river water dozens of feet wide around the entire outer city of Shangjing, can not see the left and right, you know that its intention is to be another barrier of the outer city wall.
This is a huge project, but in order to protect the safety of Shangjing, it is necessary to pay this labor and financial resources.
The moat reflects the golden light of the autumn sun, as if crushed gold paper sprinkled all over the river, the tall city wall is built with fine and dense blue bricks, and as the convoy marches, the city wall seems to be pressed by the incomparable momentum of the imperial capital.
Xinyin Society and his party, walking naturally is the south city gate, to the city gate, many people are reluctant to take the car again, Shang Xue sleeves also got out of the car, through the hat to see from a distance, three extremely spacious stone bridges erected on the moat, the middle stone bridge leads to the city gate tightly closed, engraved with the name of the south city gate - Jing'an Gate.
Yue Qi seemed to think that the autumn sun was a little dazzling, and he held a paper fan to half-cover his eyes, and said: "The city gate in the middle is not open, it is used for the army or the honor guard to enter and exit during major events. ”
Shang Xuesleeve stared at it, the red lacquer gate of Jing'anmen was tightly closed, the huge brass door nails on it glowed golden in the shadow of the doorway, and two whole teams of soldiers stood solemnly on both sides of this gate, as if the surging flow of people, traffic and all the noise of the two gates next to them had nothing to do with them.
On both sides are side doors for pedestrians, the crowd is surging but orderly, Shang Xuesleeve took a deep breath, and said loudly to the head of the pipe: "Let's enter Beijing!" ”
Because there are a lot of vehicles in the Xinyin Society, the leader of the gate went out in person, carefully inspected it, looked at the sign handed over by the head of the pipe and the small flag planted in front of the car, but secretly said in his heart: "Xinyin Society, I have never heard of such a troupe in Beijing, but the flag is marked with Beijing opera......" Thinking of this, he shook his head again, presumably there must be someone who can speak in Beijing, and he has already taken care of everything, so there is really no need to offend, so he waved his hand and let him go.
Despite this, the head of the pipe still quietly slid the silver into the other party's sleeve pocket, and said with a smile, "All military masters have worked hard", and then beckoned the vehicles behind to follow, passing through the door one by one, and Shang Xue's eyes also widened.
Shangjing and Huodu are really two styles.
She still remembers that when she first arrived in Huodu, it was early spring. Looking from the height of the wharf, the city is full of greenery, and the greenery is not dense, but faint like a drop of stone green dripping in the water, which makes people's hearts ripple, and in that sparseness, there are hidden light smoke like pink, yellow, white, and purple...... The black tiles and white walls lining the south of the Yangtze River really give birth to a dreamlike elegance out of thin air.
But going to Beijing is a completely different shock. It's autumn now, the red columns, the blue and blue roof tiles, the gray-black walls can be seen everywhere on the carved red sashes that open or close, in the middle of this building, mixed with the unique tall and straight trees in the north, the trees are straight into the blue sky, the crown is covered with red, orange, yellow, this different shades of autumn, the color into the eye is so strong and intense, although it is autumn, look at Shang Xue's sleeves as if a fire is burning in his heart.
This is Shangjing!
Shang Xuesleeve looked at the endless residential commercial buildings and mansions near and far, which would be the last stop of her trip to the north.
Yue Qi and Yue Lin were standing beside her, seeing that she was excited, they deliberately waited for a while, and they had only been to Beijing once, but they were not familiar with the head of the pipe, so they greeted the head of the pipe and asked, "Where does the Xinyin Club live?" What do you think about sitting in the museum? ”
The head of the pipe shook his head and said: "Shangjing is too big, what I discussed with the business class master is that since I have come to Shangjing, I must not be able to sing for ten days and return, and all the opera troupes here gather here, which is also convenient for the business class owner to go out and make some friends, and the business class owner also feels that it is necessary to get to know more corners, which is conducive to our Ming opera singing." If you want to live here for a month or two, you will face the winter, whether it is by land or water, it is too hard, it is better to wait until the next year when spring opens and then go south. ”
Yue Lin nodded and said, "What she said is, in this case, I'm afraid I have to rent a short-term rental house, right?" ”
The head of the pipe stretched out his thumb and said, "Exactly, this can also save some money on money." ”
Yue Qi interjected and said, "No, the sixth master must have a house in Shangjing!" ”
The head of the pipe nodded and said: "This is natural, the sixth master has also opened his mouth, if he comes to Shangjing, he can live in the sixth master's house." But the master of the business class said again, first, the house of the sixth master must not be the house of ordinary people, it must be elegant and luxurious, living in it, and not needing money, it is inevitable that the servants of the Xinyin Club will recall the situation of Xiao Yuan, and they are easy to be lazy and slack; Second, the sixth master's house was not bought incognito, and someone must inquire about living in it, so that people in Beijing will know the relationship between Xinyin Society and the sixth master, which is also very inappropriate. So ......"
Yue Lin caught his words and said with a smile: "So she wants to rent a house outside?" It's okay, anyway, now you have money! ”
The head of the pipe said: "Mr. Yue is joking. After saying that, he couldn't help but be proud, this trip did far exceed his expectations in terms of income.
The group watched the scenery and chatted, and after entering the city, they were not in a hurry to go inside, and found a spacious place to stop.
It's not a matter to stop here, and the head of the pipe said: "The master of the business class, although there are many houses in Beijing, it is easy to rent, but I don't know if it can be settled in a while, I think it is better to find an inn, the big guy is estimated to be hungry, so let's fight first." ”
Shang Xuesleeve was about to nod, when he saw a person who looked like a servant running over from afar and shouted, "But the Xinyin Club has arrived?" ”
The man ran closer, looked at the flag on the car, and then nodded himself, and said to the head of the pipe: "But the business class master of the Xinyin Society?" ”
Before the head of the pipe could speak, the little jade peach next to him smiled, and the jade fingers pointed at Shang Xue's sleeve slenderly, and said crisply: "You worship the wrong person, this is the master of the business class." ”
The little guy looked up and saw that it was a delicate and beautiful girl who answered, and his face was red in the twilight, and then he looked down his finger and saw that he was still a woman, but he couldn't see clearly with a hat.
