Chapter 210: The Capital
Pei Yao and a few people were dusty on the road, and they rarely encountered any interesting cultural landscapes along the way except for eating and resting, except for a large-scale temple fair, and a lantern festival encountered when staying in an inn in the town, there was nothing commendable.

After all, there were few entertainment programs in ancient times, and most of them were more popular indoor cockfights and crickets, and they were not interested in these, so they continued to hurry after taking a look at the periphery, after all, there were still serious things to do, and Chen Jiacheng couldn't settle down if they didn't finish it.
There is also Zhaoting, his family's business is not far away for too long, and he is afraid that he will have to go back early when he comes out to play.
Pei Yao was all kinds of shopping along the way, and also found winter melons, loofahs and other seeds were sent back in a package, and there were also local specialties in addition to the food that was not easy to store, and there were a lot of people who could be brought back by the post station.
Finally, after more than ten days of traveling, at the end of the evening, a group of four people, four horses and one dog arrived at the capital.
Pei Yao also had a general understanding of the ancient city scenery along the way, and she didn't expect the capital to be anything special, but she didn't expect the tall city gate and wide city walls of the capital to be extraordinarily spectacular!
The west gate of the capital is one large and two small, usually there is no major event, the large city gate is generally not opened, only the city gate on both sides for pedestrians and carriages to pass, and it will be closed at night.
For example, the city gate they pass through now is the small city gate on the left, and the size of the side gate is the same size as the main gate of the county seat, not to mention that the city gate is three big with small city gates, which is spectacular to look at!
It really deserves to be the capital of a country!
Several people lined up to wait for the soldiers to check, because it was a foreign population, not only to see the road guide but also to check whether there were swords and other murder weapons, seeing that Chen Jiacheng showed the military attache documents and tokens, he immediately let the four people into the city.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw the atmosphere and difference, the roads were wide and the houses were high, the humanities and elegance were exquisitely dressed, and the lady sat in a double sedan chair, dressed beautifully and more beautifully than flowers, and even the small traders did not make a loud noise at will, which seemed to be of quality!
Ordinary people in the city are not allowed to ride horses, Pei Yao and others are not big officials who naturally lead horses away, in this territory full of big officials and wealthy businessmen, it is better to be cautious, don't be careless and collide with anyone, it will not be beautiful to be put in prison by others.
came to an inn, and when the shopkeeper saw a few people with dusty and accents, he knew that they were outsiders, and he did not discriminate against them.
Because of the dog, I decided to ask for a small courtyard, and the price was several times more expensive than the county seat, so to speak, all the way to the inn, the closer to the capital, the more expensive. Fortunately, they are not short of money, although more than 600 taels can't even make a splash in the capital, but they can only afford to live for a few days.
A few of them chartered the courtyard because of a lot, although it was expensive, but living in the courtyard was safe, quiet and free, and there were Pei Yao's top craftsmanship to serve, so that Zhaoting and Yan Xiaota secretly made up their minds, in the future, even if there were not many guest houses, they would have to charter the courtyard, and it was worth it to be able to eat Pei Yao's craftsmanship!
Chen Jiacheng washed himself when he arrived at the inn, and then said to Pei Yao: "You cook and wait for me, I will come back after I go to report to the little general, usually at this time, the little general should not be on duty in the house." ”
"Okay, go and come back quickly, and I'll make you braised pork to eat." Pei Yao knew that he was in a hurry, he didn't want to wait for a night, and he didn't do much to stop him, he went to the beach early after finishing his errands, she wanted to eat seafood and wanted to go crazy, according to her observation, the seaside was also five days away from the capital, if she used a carriage, it would be slower and longer, and there were not many fresh seafood that could be transported to the capital, so she could only go to the beach if she wanted to satisfy her hunger.
"Okay, I'm leaving!"
In order to let the eldest uncle return home as soon as possible, Chen Jiacheng was anxious, and walked towards the little general's mansion like an arrow!
I don't know what the situation of my uncle is now, and I haven't received a notice from the government to report the funeral, so I think he should still be alive, but I'm afraid that the list will be lost and something like that, so no one knows if it's missing.
With excitement and apprehension, he took out the documents and tokens and came to the little general's mansion, and gave them to the doorman to inform the little general. When he was recruiting troops, he was led to Yucheng by the little general in the battlefield of the capital, and once he was lucky enough to know where the general's mansion was, otherwise he could inquire about the little general's mansion.
Soon, the little servant rushed out and said, "The little general, please come in and talk." ”
It seems that the little general still remembers himself, Chen Jiacheng thought about the enthusiasm of being a soldier, and he was also excited, and he was going to see the mighty little general again!
Following behind the little guy, the Chen family did not squint, walked through the stone steps of the courtyard, and strode all the way to the little general's study, to be able to greet him in the study, or treat him as a cronie and his own!
Chen Jiacheng strode into the house, and when he saw the little general wearing a homestay robe sitting behind the desk, his eyes were hot, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said with a stumbling voice: "I've seen the little general!" ”
The little general laughed and said: "Hurry up, you are still the centurion who charged under my seat, what is happening now, exposing your young weaknesses, your eyes are red, shame on me!" ”
That being said, the warm words were as if the two had only separated yesterday, and there was no strangeness at all, and they even started a little
Joke! Thinking about it, the little general should have a good time when he comes back to the capital, and thinking about it, he is also very sad that he has a bad life for several generations of generals.
Chen Jiacheng was also a little embarrassed, but he was a little too excited and excited.
"Sit down, find me something and talk slowly." The little general pointed to the chair in front of the table and ordered.
Yiyan sat down, and he thought about what to say along the way, and immediately spoke: "Little general, I came all the way this time not for anything else, but to report good news to the general." ”
"Eh, what good news to say, don't sell it, why do you become a mother-in-law and mother when you go home for a few days." The little general feigned anger.
Chen Jiacheng didn't dare to delay: "I found a monk in my hometown to treat my sick horse, that is, those spare military horses in the army will be weak for no reason, as long as the horse's hooves open a small mouth to bleed, you can cure a lot of problems, even the horse that is not sick, once a year in the spring bloodletting, can be strong and love to eat grass!" ”
After listening to him, the little general stood up and said, "What you said is true?" ”
"It's true, I don't dare to deceive the little general, my family's two sick horses and a good horse are doing this, and now they are healthy and healthy, and they are still ridden by me for thousands of miles, which is not worse than the famous horses of my peers!" Chen Jiacheng also stood up, he was full of confidence in treating the horse and bloodletting, and he was not afraid of the little general's questioning!
The little general thought for a while and immediately decided: "Let's go, let's go to the horse circle, this is not a trivial matter, I'm not sure I can't even eat!" ”
