Chapter 10: Entering Beijing
The man driving the carriage squinted at the two half-grown children, and said in a very unsettling tone, "Do you have twenty taels of silver?" β
Yichen learned to be obedient this time, "How long does it take to get to the capital?" Does these twenty taels include room and board? β
The groom who was driving the car looked at her, "Why do you have to take more than a month, seeing that you are still children, it is not too much to ask you for twenty taels!" Room and board were included, I prepared my own food, and stayed in a carriage at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Yichen thought for a while, took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it to the coachman, "Okay, I've got your carriage, I'll give you ten taels of silver first, and I'll pay the other ten taels when I get to the place." β
"Deal, let's get in the car." After speaking, the coachman took the silver and looked at the condition, and nodded with satisfaction.
After more than a month of traveling, the carriage had arrived at the outskirts of the capital, Yichen got out of the car with Xueyi, sent the coachman away, and walked towards the city gate with the small package on his back. This is the first time they have seen the capital, and the majestic city gate makes them excited, pointing fingers and chattering, "Xueyi, see it, this is the capital!" β
Xue Yi clapped her little hands excitedly and said loudly, "Young Master, look how beautiful those people are." β
"Don't worry about that for now, Xue Yi, let's go to the city and then find a place to live." Yichen took Xue Yi's hand and followed the team into the city.
After entering the city, Yichen and Xue Yi saw that everything was fresh, the vendors selling on the side of the road, and the juggling on the overpass, Xue Yi's eyes were not enough, so she pulled Yichen to look at the sugar gourd for a while, and looked at the marshmallow for a while, and her saliva was gluttonous, "Young master, this looks like it's delicious." β
Yichen knew that she wanted to eat it very much, touched the last silver ingot left on her body, and led her to the stall selling sugar gourds. Ivan was startled, and quickly pulled Xue Yi back a big step, dodging the horse. Although she dodged it, the dust splashed by the horses slammed the faces of the two people, and she wanted to wipe her face for Xue Yi, but she found that she was shocked and grew her mouth, and pointed to the horse that had just passed, "Young Master"
Yichen looked back and saw that there were two children about the same age as Xue Yi in the middle of the road, who were already squatting there and scared silly. In an instant, Yichen jumped up, turned over beautifully in the air, and kicked the man on the horse directly, and then she sat on the back of the horse and held the reins. The horse stopped, she looked at the horse under her seat and nodded, it was a good horse, the mane was neat and erect, the fur was shiny, she touched the horse's neck, and jumped down with her legs raised.
The man who was kicked off the horse was a man, well-dressed, and one of them turned over and got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and looked up to see that the man who kicked him off the horse was a teenager, although he was wearing a long shirt, but his hair was white, and the hat on his head was not set with any precious stones. Seeing him jump off his horse, he was angry, "Where did the little beggar come from, how dare you block the master's way!" β
Yi Chen flicked the dust on her body, and when she heard the person say that she was a little beggar, her eyes widened angrily, "Who do you say is the little beggar!" β
Xue Yi hurriedly ran to Yichen's side and grabbed her arm, "Young Master, forget it, didn't the Taoist chief say that a hundred forbearances become gold!" β
