【24】Kyoto Castle

Dadanguo has quietly entered early autumn, and the summer heat has not yet subsided. Outside Kyoto City, three gray-headed teenagers, each holding a donkey in their hands, were looking at the gate of Kyoto City excitedly and smirking.

The tall city walls, the heavy gates, and the dark "Kyoto Castle" on top of the gate

The three big characters seemed to have magical powers, attracting them.

They are Qian Muxue and Lin Ziluo, sisters and brothers, who have traveled thousands of miles and finally come to their final destination, Kyoto City.

Qianmuxue and the others followed the flow of people into the city, and the place at the feet of the Son of Heaven was extraordinary.

The streets are wider and cleaner, with many shops and orderly buildings.

Along the way, red men and green women come and go, bustling.

The yacha shuttles and patrols, the law and order is good, and it is rich and prosperous.

Qianmuxue is happy, it seems that she has chosen the right place.

They took a break in a small teahouse and drank tea.

Hear the tea guest talking at the next table.

A middle-aged man said, "Boss Wu, I haven't seen you for many days, and you went to pick up goods again?" ”

Boss Wu: "That's right, I just went to Zhuzhou to pick some mountain goods and came back." Boss Wei's business is booming? ”

Boss Wei "Thanks to the blessing of the Prince Regent, business is much better now than before." ”

Boss Wu: "Yes, the regent has reduced taxes and vigorously developed agriculture and commerce, so that we have a good life today." ”

Boss Wei raised his glass and said, "Come, we have enough for the regent prince." ”

Boss Wu echoed, "Okay, it's enough for the regent to have a cup." ”

The other tea guests in the teahouse also echoed in unison, raising their glasses to the sky.

Qian Muxue thought to herself, this regent is also a good prince who is diligent and loves the people.

Qianmuxue and the others found an inn to live in, and by the way, they sold three donkeys to the innkeeper.

The price given by the boss was fair and did not defraud them because they came from out of town.

In the evening, Qianmuxue and the others discussed, and tomorrow morning, Qianmuxue would go to Shan Dan alone, and Lin Ziluo's sister and brother would wait at the inn.

Qian Muxue believed that with the status of the prince of Shan Dan, if they could get Shan Dan's help, it would be easier for them to gain a foothold in Kyoto City.

The next day, Qian Muxue changed into a new dress, simply put her hair in a bun, and restored her female makeup.

According to the address left by Shan Dan at the beginning, Qian Muxue asked people all the way to a mansion not far from the palace.

The mansion is magnificent, with gray walls and blue tiles, and the high roof is inlaid with glazed tiles and spine-kissed beasts.

There is a pair of mighty stone lions on the high ground foundation in front of the door, the thick and tall vermilion lacquer gate, and the plaque hanging on the lintel: the regent palace, four bronzing characters are particularly dazzling.

All of this shows the preeminence of the owner of this mansion.

Qian Muxue finally understood why the passers-by showed strange eyes when they asked for directions just now, Shan Dan was the regent.

Qian Muxue looked at the heavily guarded palace and felt a sense of powerlessness, she and he were really people from two worlds.

While Qianmuxue was struggling with whether to move forward to see her, a group of guards walked out of the side door and formed a semicircle in front of the door to separate the crowd, and then pulled out a horse and lifted a soft bridge.

At this time, the vermilion lacquer door slowly opened, wearing a python robe and jade belt, with a cold and handsome face, and a graceful, delicate and charming woman walked out.

Now that Qian Muxue has arrived, how can she return empty-handed, but it is not her style.

So, while waving her hand, Qian Muxue shouted loudly, "Brother Dan, Brother Dan, I'm Xue'er." ”

However, Qianmuxue's shouts were quickly overshadowed by the screams of other women and the cheers of men.
