At noon that day, they chose a Japanese restaurant, originally Julia promised Western food, but Yinzhen didn't like to eat Western food, so Julia compromised and chose a restaurant.

They asked for grilled eel and sushi and paella.

Halfway through, Yinzhen answered Yinxiang's call, and Yinxiang wanted to ask him if he was safe.

"I'm fine, and the car is good, so I won't bother with you." Yin Zhen snorted and hung up the phone.

Julia asked, "What do they eat at noon?" ”

"Instant noodles." Yin Zhen said, smiling proudly, "You deserve it." ”

Compared to the kabayaki eel, the instant noodles are of course too miserable.

"Next time, call them all, let's go eat mutton shabu." Julia said.

"Come on, save some money and cook at home honestly." Yin Zhen glanced at her, "Besides, the mutton here doesn't taste right." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's just not right. Not as good as what I used to eat at home. Yin Zhen thought for a while, "I'm afraid there is a difference between the north and the south." Alas, mutton, or Beijing. ”

Julia was slowly eating a small California roll, and she suddenly said, "Ah Zhen, do you want to go back to Beijing to have a look?" ”

Yin Zhen raised his head suddenly!

"Can you really go back?!"

"Of course." Julia nodded, "Everyone can go back and enter the palace at any time." ”

The suggestion to return to Beijing immediately set off a storm in the whole family!

To be exact, not to go back to Beijing, but to go to Beijing for "tourism". According to Julia, even if the people are gone, the place is still there. The house is still there (Forbidden City, Lama Temple), and when you go back to take a look, it can be regarded as a little homesickness.

After the resolution was unanimously passed, Julia began to book rooms and plane tickets online. Fortunately, she said, the time of October Golden Week has passed, and it is now a low season.

"Off-season? What do you mean? ”

"That is to say, there will not be too many people in Beijing at the moment, and we are lucky." Julia gestured, "That's it." There will be no crowds in the Forbidden City. ”

As soon as she said this, she said it. scared those brothers!

"The Forbidden City is crowded?!" Brother Ten said, "How come?!" ”

"Really. Especially during Golden Week, people have to be stacked. Julia said, "It's in Beijing." Can you still go into the palace to take a look? Everybody thinks so. ”

The faces of several elder brothers slowly became strange. They looked at each other. Brother Ten suddenly muttered, "I don't want to go......"

Julia was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"I can't imagine that there will be so many people in the palace." Brother Ten lowered his head and said, "That's not a vegetable garden?" I think...... It's strange and uncomfortable. ”

He didn't make it clear, but Julia quickly understood what he meant.

"That'...... Are you left alone at home to guard the door? She asked tentatively.

The ninth elder brother interrupted her: "Old ten." Don't be so unproductive! What's the big deal? Isn't it just that there are more tourists? That's the Forbidden City, where we were born and raised! We have more confidence than anyone else, we should go and see. ”

Brother Nine said this, and the rest of them nodded. Julia thought for a moment and comforted, "I'll take a few more pictures of you then, okay?" There won't be too many people anyway, eh...... There shouldn't be any idlers squeezing into the camera. ”

She was originally comforting, but as soon as she said this, Brother Ten wanted to cry even more.

So she booked a plane ticket and packed her luggage, and Julia made a planner again, which was nothing more than those ancient buildings. The thirteenth elder brother said with a smile that none of them would go home this time, only Yinzhen really "went home", because only his mansion was still intact.

Brother Jiu sighed when he heard this: "My house has not been repaired for a long time, and the paint on it is still new." ”

Yinxiang said with relief: "Let me see, it's better to demolish it - it's okay to be like the fourth brother's house, it's still the same, if it's unlucky, it is occupied by later generations, and the house is full of traces of people, and then hang a sign like a celebrity's former residence at the door, and insist that it is someone else's home, then I will vomit blood." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded again.

The identity of these brothers was originally a big problem, they didn't have ID cards, not to mention the difficulty of booking a room, and they couldn't even buy air tickets.

But fortunately, within a few days, Julia was very familiar with the security guards of the community property, and sent them beer, snacks and drinks, and several captains of the security guards were impressed by her. So Julia told the security guard who was very close about the ID card, and she said that her cousins were all from a very remote village, and the new ID cards had not yet been issued, and it was difficult for her to take them out. When the other party heard this, he thought of a mistake for her: he found a few colleagues who looked similar to those brothers, and asked them to temporarily lend their ID cards to Julia.

Now, the big problem is solved.

On the day of boarding, Julia repeatedly told her not to show her stuff, and several elder brothers nodded and said, "Can't you trust us for this little thing?" ”

Thankfully, there were really no problems along the way, and there were no mistakes when she went through the security check, and Julia was greatly relieved.

got on the plane, each found their place, and after waiting for a while, the plane finally took off.

Julia stared nervously at a few elder brothers, although she had repeatedly done psychological counseling before, but suddenly let a few Qing Dynasty people fly into the sky, the impact of this matter could not be small, last time in the elevator, they were all scared and cried wolves, this time, she was really worried that none of them could bear the scream.

Fortunately, Yinzhen and their eyes were all attracted by the scene outside the window, although their eyes were all round, but no one was out of control.

"Are you traveling to Beijing?" An uncle beside Julia suddenly asked.

"yes, go play......"

Before Julia finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yinzhen: "It's not to play, it's to go home." ”

"Oh, you're from Peking? Listening to the accent is quite similar. The uncle asked very enthusiastically, "Where do you live?" ”

Julia hurriedly stopped Yinzhen, who was about to open her mouth to answer, and said with a dry smile: "No, he is joking, we are really here to travel." ”

Luckily, she stopped, Julia thought to herself in a cold sweat. This made him say "live in the palace", which is troublesome!

Yin Zhen looked at Julia dissatisfied, but fortunately he didn't say anything more.

"Really? Well, your accent is not like that. The uncle pointed at Yinzhen, "His accent is very similar, like an old Beijinger." If you want to say that he is out of town, I really don't believe it. ”

He ...... Well, he likes to listen to cross talk. Julia tried to explain, "The accent is learned from the cross talk. ”

Yinzhen's eyes are about to fall out!

He was about to argue, but Yinxiang in the front row turned his face. Said calmly to Yinzhen: "Fourth brother." Don't be embarrassed by Julia. ”

The tenth elder brother also sneered: "Fourth brother, don't make trouble for Julia, make her angry, and throw you alone at the airport after a while." See how you get it back! ”

The uncle could see it. The young men were laughing with each other. He also quipped: "What are you afraid of? Your girlfriend really threw you at the airport, and I'll drive you back - where do you live? ”

"Yongwang's Mansion." Yin Zhen said sullenly.

A group of elder brothers, all quiet. Julia's face turned white!

The uncle said: "That's better, I'll put you in any subway station, and you can take the subway to the door by yourself - which direction is your home in Lama Temple?" Or is it on the other side of Gui Street? ”

Yin Zhen lifted his eyelids: "I'll live inside." ”

Uncle doesn't ring anymore.

Julia hurriedly smiled and said: "He likes to joke, uncle, don't care, we are really from other places, we are here to travel." ”

The uncle seemed to be good-tempered, and he was not unhappy, but he smiled and said, "Then you have to hurry up after you get off the plane." ”

Yin Zhen was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Lama Temple closes at five o'clock." The uncle joked, "Even if you are Emperor Yongzheng, after five o'clock in the afternoon, you will not be able to enter." ”

After getting off the plane, they found a taxi and drove to the hotel. When parting, the enthusiastic uncle told them that when they go to Lama Temple, don't forget the Wu Yutai ice cream nearby.

"There is a green tea flavor, and there is a flower tea flavor, which is very delicious!"

The taxi took them to the destination hotel, and everyone dragged their luggage into the lobby, and Julia went to check in.

"Let's go." She took the key card and said to them, "Go upstairs!" ”

Julia booked three rooms, all on the upper floors of the hotel, and she told her brothers that she wanted to surprise them when they entered the room.

When the five of them entered the room, Julia put down her luggage, walked to the window, and pulled the curtain open from the floor-to-ceiling glass!

"Look!" She pointed triumphantly outside.

Brother Ten was curious: "What are you looking at?" ”

"The Forbidden City!" Julia said, "That's why I decided on this hotel." ”

A few people hurried to the window!

Brother Nine pointed out: "Really! Right there! ”

All of them, holding their breath, looked at the Miyagi in the distance!

"Really...... It's really the Forbidden City! Yinxiang's voice trembled, and he saw the vermilion palace wall and the golden roof. Today, the sun is shining, the weather is excellent, and from a distance, under the deep blue sky, there is a silent Miyagi in full view.

The strange and heavy breathing, surging in the room, the indescribable strange feeling, strangled them all, made them stand there stiffly, their eyes like a demon, staring at the palace in the distance, the distant Forbidden City, resplendent and splendid, like a magical magnet, attracting the attention of all of them, and no one could move!

"Let's go, let's go into the palace." Julia whispered.

It was still early, and they were on a very early flight, so it was only noon. Julia knew that none of them wanted to waste any more time eating lunch slowly, so everyone bought something to eat in Yonghe, near the hotel, and then headed for the Forbidden City.

Along the way, everyone said very little, but they were very emotional, and the indescribable strange feeling made them all seem uncertain.

According to Yinxiang's words, this is the first time for him, not for the court, not for government affairs, not to see Huang Ama or to ask for the peace of the master...... and so on, these justifiable things into the palace.

This made him extremely unaccustomed to it.

"It's like, if I don't have two foldings in my hand, I don't know what I'm going to do in there." Yinxiang said.

Julia smiled wryly, and she said, "You don't need to hold the fold, just hold the money." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You have to go in for money." Julia sighed, "I've never been embarrassed to mention this to you. We've got to buy tickets. ”

The faces of several elder brothers are even more weird!

"Do we have to buy it too?" Brother Nine asked.

"How can I get in without buying a ticket?"

The tenth elder brother said hatefully: "But this is our home!" ”

Yin Zhen said coldly: "Old ten." Is the palace your home? ”

When Brother Jiu heard him say this, he also smiled sarcastically: "Isn't it? Where is this our home? Old ten, you are mistaken, this is the home of the fourth brother alone. ”

He put the accent at the end, and everyone could hear what he meant.

Yinzhen was misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain it again.

Yinxiang immediately said: "The fourth brother didn't mean that, the fourth brother said that even if it is a family, then Huang Ama is qualified to say so." Huang Ama is still there, we can't say that the palace is our own home. ”

When he saw that the two of them were silent, he sighed again and said, "Okay brothers." Don't be angry with reality. Now let's think of ourselves as the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty again. It only adds to the needless suffering. We are just nobodies now, and the common people are one, even if they are the fourth brother. He also had to pay for it to enter the palace. ”

Yinxiang said. Everyone was silent.

Julia didn't expect it. This trip to the capital was so difficult at the beginning, and I haven't entered the palace yet. This is a quarrel, so she proposed to go back to Beijing to take a look, is it a mistake in itself?

Thinking of this, Julia didn't dare to say anything, so she had to lead them inside.

They entered the palace gate from the Jinshui Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square, and before that, several people stopped in front of Tiananmen Square for a long time.

Spanning thousands of miles and three hundred years of history, they are standing on the opposite side of the palace at this moment! The excitement in their hearts, like boiling water, appeared on their faces!

Therefore, unlike other tourists on the road, everyone is relaxed and happy, smiling, but this group of elder brothers has a heavy expression and a solemn face, as if they are here to hold a memorial service. People brought their families and looked around, but they didn't look anywhere, staring at the road in front of them respectfully. People are talking and laughing all over the ground, but they are good, lined up neatly, and walked forward along the straight road, and the queue was about to catch up with the armed police on duty next to them.

Julia couldn't stand it anymore, she clapped her hands: "You guys, don't be so serious! One by one, I'm too nervous! We're here to travel. ”

"We're not here to travel." Yin Zhen glanced at her seriously, "We are entering the palace." After so many years of entering the palace to see me, it has always been like this, and it can't be changed. ”

"You're going to scare other tourists like this!" Julia said helplessly, "If the expression is so nervous, the armed police will come over to question!" ”

As soon as she said this, everyone was even more at a loss.

"As soon as I entered the palace, my legs and stomach were bent." Brother Ten trembled and said, "You told me to spread joy all over the ground like them, I don't have the courage to ......."

"Sensei is afraid." Julia reassured, "No one is going to count you down." Now in this palace, there is no longer your emperor Amma. ”

Julia's casual words were like a stone pestle, hitting every brother's chest hard!

"Let's go, put your heart down." Yin Zhen whispered, "Julia is right, Huang Ama is no longer in the palace. ”

Everyone was full of confusion and looked at each other, and instead of being justified by this, the expressions on their faces became even more depressed.

Dragged to the ticket office, Julia told them to wait, and she went to line up for tickets.

A few elder brothers stood at the entrance, looking up at the city tower above, and couldn't help but sigh.

"We're standing here." Brother Ten looked at the tall palace gate with tears in his eyes, "I thought I would never come back for the rest of my life!" ”

"I felt like I was in a dream." Yinxiang said stupidly, "And I haven't woken up from this dream yet." Fourth brother, the last time we passed through this gate, we entered through the side door...... It's only been a little over a year, and we're going to have to walk in the middle by ourselves. ”

Yin Zhen stared at the vermilion door and didn't say a word.

At this time, a man who looked like a tour guide shook over: "How many, from out of town?" ”

Brother Nine glanced at him: "How do you know?" ”

The man who looked like a tour guide laughed, and he pointed to the bag on Brother Jiu's back: "Isn't there an airport note on it?" Gentlemen, do you need a tour guide? ”

Yinzhen and they were all stunned!

"Tour guide? What's that for? ”

"Ahem, I'll explain it to you." The man gestured with his hand, "Take you around this palace - the first time, right?" Just look at it! It's easy for you to get confused when you go around by yourself, go the wrong way, don't know the details, don't play where you should play, and waste time when you shouldn't, if you follow me, it's easy to do! ”

Yinxiang was happy.

"With you, how can it be so easy?" Brother Jiu also asked patiently.

"I'm right here, the door is clear!" The man said proudly, "Ten years of experience as a tour guide, really!" Let me tell you, this palace is big, and it's not too early now, if you go around by yourself, you won't be able to find a place to come out when it's dark! Follow me and tell you all about it, saving time and worry, isn't it better than you spinning around yourself? ”

The elder brothers all smiled bitterly.

Brother Ten shook his head: "Thank you, we don't need to be accompanied, we know how to go." ”

The man was still unrelenting: "How do you know? Old Beijingers may not dare to play this package ticket! Which palace and which courtyard, who are the people who live there, what are they usually used for, and what are the allusions in it...... Do you know all this? ”

Brother Ten nodded: "Of course I know." ”

Brother Jiu was impatient: "Old ten, what are you bothering to talk to him?" ”

When the man heard this, he was not happy: "This gentleman, it's not right for you to say that, what's wrong with adding some historical knowledge?" ”

Yin Zhen said angrily beside him: "The last thing we need to increase is historical knowledge." ”

At this time, Julia came over, she took the ticket, and asked curiously: "What are you talking about?" ”

Yin Xiangle was happy, pointed to the man and said, "He said that he was a tour guide and persuaded us to take him in." ”

Julia laughed and was angry, she didn't care about the man, and only distributed the tickets in her hand to Yinzhen and them one by one. The man saw the clue and hurriedly said to her, "Eldest sister, are you their leader?" Hire me as a tour guide, we can negotiate the price again! ”

Julia shook her head, "We don't need a guide. ”

"How so?" The man still didn't give up, "This is the Imperial Palace!" It's complicated inside! How can you not need a tour guide? ”

"No one is more familiar with this matter than them, and you won't be able to catch up with them if you practice for another ten years." Julia glanced at the man, "These are the ones who grew up in this. (To be continued.) )
