Chapter 74: Fengjing, We're Coming
The capital has finally arrived!
Geographically, Fengjing, the capital of the Beichen Kingdom, is located in the center of the country, surrounded by mountains in the north and a large river in the south.
Gu Qi originally thought that with Fengjing's location to the north, the temperature should be dry and cold, but after she got down from the carriage and witnessed it with her own eyes, she realized that she was really wrong. This Fengjing is located in a small basin, there are vast plains and forests outside the city, and there are small rivers that meander and flow in the city, which are distributed in the city like arteries, which not only provide a clean and sweet water source for the people, but also because of the evaporation of water vapor, the surrounding air is regulated in a small range, making the temperature of the whole Fengjing City extremely comfortable and pleasant.
This results in a natural basin climate.
Bongjing's size was bigger than any city she had seen before. The round and heavy golden plaque on the city gate tower alone shows an imperial atmosphere, not to mention the bustling people. According to the grapevine, the population living in this Fengjing city has exceeded one million, and it is a rare big city even in the entire continent.
Gu Qi gasped coldly, to bear such a large population, and only a city that is rich enough to carry various functions can carry various functions, and in this relatively backward era, how difficult is this?
The other people in the carriage also walked down one after another, and they were all shocked by the majesty of Fengjing City, and they inevitably felt a little excited at the thought that they would have to spend the rest of their lives in the heart of this Beichen Kingdom.
In a big city with a population of more than a million, everyone seems to be busy. Gu Qi and the others paid a large amount of broken silver to the guards guarding the city, and only then did they exchange for a pass for each person.
The city's main thoroughfares are like a chessboard that neatly divides the various areas of the city. The East is respected, and the people who live in the East District are either rich or noble. To the west, there was a mix of poor people's dwellings.
After Gu Qi and the others inquired about the situation, they decided to drive to the west side of the city bordering the east side, where it is said that the environment is relatively peaceful, and the people who live there are ordinary people living and working in peace and contentment.
Since you are determined to live in Fengjing, it will be a little irrational if you still choose a guest house, and the top priority is to find a cheap place to live, and then start to make another living after you have stabilized.
Along the way, the appearance of Fengjing City has been presented in the eyes of everyone little by little. To the east, you can see the tall palace-like buildings, each covered with a layer of glazed tiles, which shine in the sunlight.
The west side of the city, however, was a horizontal line at a glance, and as far as her eye could see, it should not be more than one floor, and compared with the glittering buildings on the east side, the west side was distinctly gray, like the gloomy mood of the people who lived there.
Gu Qi sighed, this is the so-called big city, which not only shows his best side to everyone, but also does not hide the light and darkness here, making people think carefully before their minds are impulsive, and take every step of the way.
And these strangers are even more desperate to survive, the livelihood of Liuxiangju has completely disappeared, and if they want to gain a foothold in this city, they need to start looking for another way out again.
Luckily, they had just arrived at the place where the things were handed over, and a family wanted to sell their property.
The conditions of this family are considered to be in the middle and lower, judging from the neat gray tile houses, the conditions of this family are good, and I found out that if someone in this family was not seriously ill and needed money urgently, they would definitely not sell the house lightly.
So as soon as Gu Qi discussed with the family, he bought this small courtyard of three tiled houses at a very suitable price, and the money was paid, and the deed was stamped and fingerprinted, this is their home in the capital.
Pushing open the door that was a little shaky and mottled with vermilion paint, facing the main house with three tiled houses, Gu Qi called everyone else in, and told Zongzi, Qingquan, and Ge Hong to live in the main house, she and Mu Xiang lived in the left ear room, and the two children lived in the right side of the ear room.
Everyone also knows that the current conditions can only live together like this, and if they want to live more relaxed, it depends on their future efforts.
Gu Qi asked the coachman to pull the carriage down into the yard, and called Mu Xiang to remove all the luggage on the carriage, and then led everyone to start cleaning the room one by one.
Because the previous owner had always lived here, these three rooms were not too dirty, Gu Qi and they just cleaned them and put away all the luggage and items they brought, and these three empty rooms immediately had the taste of home.
Everyone looked at their results with satisfaction, and the two children even slipped their shoes and socks and began to jump on the newly made bed.
The bed in this house is made of mud and straw tired of the clay kang, although it is strong and durable, but it still can't be compared with the usual couch, looking at her new home in Fengjing, I don't know why, she is a little congested, thinking that if it weren't for the fire in Liuxiangju, it is estimated that her big bed should have been laid.
Zongzi looked at Gu Qi's slightly frowning eyebrows, knowing that she still couldn't let go of her life in the town, so she smiled lightly and said that if she moved to a new house, she would burn the bottom of the pot, otherwise the local stove prince would not be convinced that their future life would not be prosperous!
Especially the two children, as soon as they heard that they were going to make something to eat, they were even more impatient and urged everyone to hurry up, and this back and forth quickly diluted a trace of melancholy in Gu Qi's heart just now, and they laughed and prepared to go to the nearby market to see what could be done.
As soon as I went out, I saw the previous coachman leaning next to the carriage and shielding himself from the sun with a straw hat, not knowing what he was looking at.
Gu Qi dragged the zongzi behind him over, and asked nervously: "Zongzi, are you really sure that there is no problem with this person, then why hasn't he left yet?" I remember we had paid him enough fare, but how could he still be there! ”
"This ...... This ......" for a while, Zongzi didn't think of a reason when, so he could only look at the "coachman".
Gu Qi squinted at Zongzi twice, and just caught a glimpse of him squeezing his eyebrows, so he didn't make a sound, just walked to the coachman, and took off the hat he was wearing on his head, wanting to see what the coachman really looked like.
I don't know why, although she met the coachman by chance outside the Treasure Appreciation Conference in Shattered Moon City, but the back of this person gave her a familiar feeling, as if it ...... This is a man she's seen before.
But looking at the old face with vicissitudes of life in the sun, it was obvious that this person was not someone she was familiar with, but when she squinted her eyes and looked closely, she found something abnormal.
"You are?"
