On June 18 of the third year of Tiansheng, the railway from Tokyo to Yangzhou began to run on a trial basis, and the Tokyo Railway Station was located in the south corner of Menzi in the outer city, where there were fewer dwellings and the site was open. The station is a three-story cement floor building, with a red spire and yellow cement brushed walls, which serves as a ticket hall and waiting hall, and the exit is just a very ordinary porch. There is a large square in front of the station, the south of the square is a few carriage and horse shops and the bus station of Zongsan Road, the east is the iron gate leading to the freight yard, and the west is the railway apartment, this layout is relatively simple and ordinary, and the railway stations along the other lines are also similar to the layout.

The inspection of flammable and explosive materials at the railway station is very strict, with large models of firecrackers hanging above the ticket gates, and posters of Chasanpin depicting all kinds of things that are not allowed to be carried, including fireworks and other flammable objects. Inside, there are two trains on the platform, one of which is a freight train, and the steam locomotive starts with a crankshaft like a big arm, and the workers with thick shoulders load and unload goods in the carriages; One is a passenger train, a green leather car, a total of eighteen cars, nine are ordinary seat cars, four are hard-seat sleeper cars, two soft-seat sleeper cars, two are premium cars, and one is a dining car.

Among them, because it is a marshalling station, there are many tracks in the station, go straight to the north boundary of the station, the deepest impression is that there is a big turntable, an iron beam that can turn 360 degrees across it, can drive a whole locomotive up, turn 180 degrees, turn the locomotive in a direction, and then think about this thing is necessary, because the steam locomotive is not like it, and it is more time-saving to turn around with a turntable than to turn a big bend.

At this time, people who already have a business vision have bought land here, building shops and restaurants in a big way, Meng Ming bought ten acres of land here, ready to develop new projects, and he is also ready to enter the catering industry and entertainment industry.

On this day, Tokyo Railway Station will run two passenger trains and four freight trains on a trial basis, while Yangzhou Station will also run the same group of trains. At this time, the railway station officially sells passenger tickets at 8 o'clock, and the consignment of goods is handled in the cargo transportation department on the second floor.

Today, a total of two passenger trains were put into trial operation, 1,000 tickets were sold, and two trains sent 1,000 passengers, and 500 passengers per shift, and each train was not full. At this time, there was a long queue at the ticket window, and most of the people who came were the children of official eunuchs, vendors, and people visiting relatives. Of course, on this day, Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Vice Minister Qian Weiyan and the waiter Yan Shu of the Ministry of Communications arrived early and sat in the VIP car, and Meng Ming and Kou Zhun also sat in this car; The other attachés were seated in a sleeper car according to their ranks. Fan Zhongyan also led a group of students to observe and learn.

In the VIP carriage of another festival, the families of the invited officials above the fourth grade were arranged, Jade Chan came with her children and Zhao Mingyue with Meng Ming, Kou Shan'er and Lu Yunxi also came to join in the fun, and Yelu Yanni also heard the news and asked for a place through the embassy, and also sat here. Completely ignoring Zhao Mingyue's angry eyes, she smiled and saluted the two of them with a little provocation, Zhao Mingyue was a little stupid, but she was helpless; The jade cicada was calm and composed, and she also nodded in response with a smile, looking moody and light-hearted, she lowered her head again to coax the child, and no longer paid attention to others. And Yelu Yanni saw Meng Xiangqi for the first time, at this time Xiao Xiangqi was more than a year old, and he could already walk, and he was also babbling, and he could call "father, mother, grandfather, grandmother and aunt". At this time, Xiao Xiangqi had a pink little face, like a ripe apple, flushed, round, chubby, and his two arms were like two pink lotus roots.

Yelu Yanni was attracted by Xiao Xiangqi's cute appearance at a glance, she walked over to tease him, Xiao Xiangqi is self-cooked, not afraid of people, and after a while, he became familiar with Yelu Yanni, and called her "aunt" in a milky voice, which made her overjoyed. In the end, Xiao Xiangqi called Yelu Yanni to hug, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, usually palace maids, eunuchs served, that will hold the child, she looked at the jade cicada a little embarrassed, Yuchan showed her the action of holding the child, and finally she took the child tremblingly, and picked up Xiao Xiangqi like the jade cicada, looking clumsy, a little stiff, stiff, but still cautious. But after a while, I got used to it and found my feelings skillfully.

Yelu Yanni hugged for a while, very excited, and kept teasing Xiangqi, and Xiangqi also "giggled" and laughed.

At this time, Zhao Mingyue was a little surprised, and she said to the jade cicada: "Sister, you see that Qi'er likes this prodigal hoof very much, which makes people so angry." ”

Jade Cicada comforted her and said: "Sister, don't be angry, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, let it be, don't worry about yourself." ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard Yelu Yanni scream, and the jade cicada hurriedly looked forward, only to see Yelu Yanni's body frozen there, looking at a loss.

Jade Cicada also hurriedly came to her to take a look. Jade Cicada saw that Xiangqi was peeing, and she happened to pee Yelu Yanni, so she screamed and didn't know how to deal with it, Xiangqi finished peeing, and her body trembled, and her face showed a comfortable and satisfied look, completely ignoring Yelu Yanni's stunned.

Jade Cicada hurriedly took the child and apologized to her again and again, but Zhao Mingyue couldn't help laughing, with a gloating look on her face, and a rare and strange sarcastic look. Yelu Yanni reacted, looked at her wet breasts, and didn't blame Xiao Xiangqi, and then went back to her box to change clothes a little embarrassed, ignoring Zhao Mingyue's sarcasm.

Lü Yijian, Qian Weiyan, Yan Shu, Meng Ming, Kou Zhun and the envoys of the Liao State sat together and visited the decoration and layout of the carriage with great interest.
