Huadu is a very convenient place for water transportation, where the waterway extends in all directions, from here to Beijing by boat can shorten most of the distance, yes, within a few days, Jing Xi and others arrived at the wharf on the outskirts of Beijing.

The capital of this Xia country is the capital, and the capital is the center of power in the Xia country, and the degree of prosperity is naturally far from being comparable to flowers.

The wharf on the outskirts of the capital is full of merchant ships coming and going, densely populated, grain ships gathered, boats in the river coming and going, end to end, or slender men pulling, or boatmen rocking, some full of goods, are berthing on the shore, nervously unloading.

Zhang Cheng, who got the letter, brought the housekeeper and others to the dock to greet him.

Today's Deputy General Zhang did not wear armor, but wore a brown regular uniform, except for the decoration on the clothes, he did not wear jade clothes on his body, but held a sword in his left hand.

Even when he was not in the army, Zhang Cheng did not forget to bring his sword.

Today, even the two daughters came out. Yes, at the dock in Kyoto today, you can see a group of people waiting here early in the morning, and the people who come and go next to you do not pay much attention.

About half an hour, a ship different from the merchant ship slowly approached the dock from a distance, Zhang Cheng, who has been practicing martial arts all the year round, had excellent eyesight, and saw the sign of the palace with sharp eyes, this sign was only recognized by Gu Jiajun, it was, Zhang Cheng was a little excited.

The prince was finally coming, and a big man was secretly worried in his heart, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, and he watched the ship approach the dock.

Finally docked, moored.

Zhang Cheng immediately stepped forward with his daughter, and after the boat stopped, Prince Rong and Gu Yang took their sons out of the room and walked towards the edge of the deck, with the crown prince Xiao Yichen in front of him, and his daughter Xixi also walked side by side, and the group walked ashore.

When Zhang Cheng saw the prince, he wanted to salute, but was stopped by the prince, and then Zhang Cheng walked behind the prince.

And when the daughter saw the county lord, she had already gone to her, and even the eldest daughter, who had always been calm, had red eyes.

"Xixi, you can be regarded as home, my sister and I miss you so much." This time, the first to speak was her sister Zhang Yating, who is usually calm and steady.

And the sister on the side also stepped forward, looking at the county lord with teary eyes.

The friendship between the daughters' families is so wonderful, the three of them have been playing and learning together since they were children, and they have a deep relationship.

Jingxi encountered this, and they were all worried about it, but now that they saw that the county lord was intact, they were finally relieved.

As soon as Jing Xi saw Yating and them, she also remembered that their two sisters, who used to accompany Xiao Jingxi's partner.

Seeing their red eyes, Jing Xi also stepped forward, holding one person in one hand, and said, "Don't cry, I'm not fine?" Let's go, let's go back to the house first, so many people are watching, shame. ”

For cubs, Jing Xi is always extra indulgent, not to mention that these two are good sisters with her.

Zhang Cheng next to him was also excited and at a loss, but the prince opened his mouth first, "I've worked hard for you in the army recently, go back home first." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Zhang Jianli was about to lead Prince Rong into the carriage, and the county lord next to him had already followed his daughters into the carriage, and then, the carriage slowly passed through the crowd and headed towards King Rong's mansion.

As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he went to the palace with his henchmen.

The group parted.

This boat ride experience makes Jing Xi feel quite novel, the scenery along the way is unobstructed, and the customs and folklore of various places are also roughly sketched, which is quite interesting.

I also understand the ancient people's humanity: "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." I felt it.

In my impression, the Xia Dynasty was politically harmonious, prosperous and powerful, among the four countries, the Xia State was strong, and the Qin State was slightly inferior, but the Qin State was rich in horses, and the horses were strong and good at running, and they were thousands of miles a day, but they were stronger than the other two countries.

Of course, now that the four countries are in power, each country must have its own advantages and disadvantages.

……

Jing Xi and the others got on the carriage back to the palace, looking out through the window of the carriage, the pedestrians in the street market, shoulder to shoulder, the river is endless, there are businessmen doing business, there are gentry watching the street scene, there are officials riding horses, there are hawkers, there are family members who ride in a sedan chair, there are monks with walking feet with baskets, there are tourists from other places who ask for directions, there are street children who listen to and listen to books, there are children of wealthy families who drink in restaurants, there are disabled old people who beg on the edge of the city, men, women and children, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.

What a picture of the prosperous landscape.

The carriage traveled for nearly half an hour before it came to the lot of King Rong's mansion.

As the residence of the god of war of the Xia Kingdom, the Rongwang Mansion has a regular architectural structure, exquisite craftsmanship, and intertwined pavilions, which fully expresses the glorious and rich style of the palace and the elegant flavor.

Rong Wangfu is composed of two parts of the palace and the flower garden, covers an extremely wide area, Rong Wang and the current emperor have a deep brotherhood, and have made great achievements, the specifications of this palace can not be underestimated.

The mansion building is divided into three roads: east, middle and west, and each road is composed of multi-entry courtyards with a strict central axis running through it from south to north.

The most important buildings in the middle road are the Yin'an Hall and the Jiale Hall, and the roof of the hall is made of green glazed tiles, which shows the majesty of the middle road and is also a manifestation of the identity of the king of Rong.

The Rongwang Mansion is divided into two departments, the mansion and the flower garden, and there are more than 30 buildings of various types, with an exquisite structure and extraordinary style.

Its flower garden is also known as Jincui Garden, and the structure and design of the garden have a high degree of art.

The whole garden is embraced by the rockery arch of the word "mountain", the east, south and west sides are piled up with soil and stones for the mountain, and the middle road is stacked with Fangshan stone to build the cave and ravine, and the technique is quite high.

The summit platform becomes the highest point in the park. On the platform on the top of the mountain, there is also a pavilion built, the name of the moon pavilion is condescending, but the scenery of the whole garden is indecent, quite a feeling: 'the hand can hold the moon and pick the stars'.

Outside the courtyard, the powder wall is encircled, the green willow hangs around, there are three hanging flower gatehouses, and the verandah is copied on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the plaque of "rain over the sky" is hung on the five hugging buildings.

All the courtyards are magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the flower beds are splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and pools. Qinfangxi meets here and flows out of the Chinese New Year's Eve Indecent Garden, and there is a white stone road across Qinfangxi to the opposite bank.

Walking into the Chinese New Year's Eve Hall, in the center is a vermilion lacquer square platform about two meters high, on which is placed a gold lacquer carved dragon throne, behind which is a carved dragon screen, and there are six tall dragon golden pillars on both sides of the square platform, and a strong golden dragon is coiled on each Chinese New Year's Eve pillar; Looking at the top of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon pan dragon in the center of the algae, a snow-white Chinese New Year's Eve bead hangs from the dragon's mouth, surrounded by six small beads, the dragon head and the orb are facing the golden luan throne below, the color painting between the beams is brilliant, gorgeous and beautiful, red and yellow gold dragon pattern, there are double dragon play beads, a single dragon fluttering; There are walking dragons, sitting dragons, flying dragons, descending dragons, colorful, and the dragons are also lined with flowing clouds and flames around them.

I saw the beautiful trees and green onions, the strange flowers scorching, a clear stream, from the depths of the flowers and trees coiled under the stone gap. A few more steps, gradually to the north, flat and wide, both sides of the flying building into the air, carved and embroidered sills, are hidden between the mountain col and tree branches

Looking down at it, then the clear stream pours out the snow, the stone pierces the clouds, the white stone is the railing, around the edge of the pool, the stone bridge is three ports, and the beast face is spitting.

At the top of the red vermilion lacquer Chinese New Year's Eve door hangs a plaque of Xuan-colored golden silk nanmu, on which are freely inscribed with three Chinese New Year's Eve characters 'Daya Stream'.

The main house in the front yard of the East Road is Cuiyuxuan, and the main house in the backyard is Delusional Huanzhai.

The front yard of the West Road is Yun Lang Xuan, and the main house in the back yard has the book "Xi Jin Zhai".

From the place where Jing Xi and his party entered the palace, the willows on both sides of the street were green and green.

In front of the gate of the palace, I saw two mighty stone lions standing on both sides of the door, and the plaque on the vermilion lacquer gate had the words "Rong Wangfu" with gilded and dazzling.

It is said that this plaque in the Rongwang Mansion was written by the emperor himself.

The three big characters play in the sea, the dancing cranes swim in the sky, floating like floating clouds, and they are like a dragon. What a privilege!

"Welcome back to the palace!" After the people who had been waiting in line in front of the palace saw the prince, they immediately saluted, and their voices were uniform.

"No courtesy." Prince Rong said lightly, and a strong and powerful voice came, which made the people excited.

Entering the gate, passing through the bluestone floor, soon arrived at the flower garden, that is, the Jincui Garden, the ancient trees in the flower garden are towering to the sky, the strange stones stand in a forest, the mountains and rivers are surrounded by mountains, pavilions and pavilions, and the corridor turns around. The scenery is ever-changing, and there is a hole in the sky. The green mountains and clear waters, winding paths and secluded platforms seem to tell the old things like smoke.

The backyard of the middle road is a sea home.

Jingxi's courtyard is next to this Jiale Hall, calling the heart of the sea residence, is the courtyard arranged by Rong Wang Ye for his daughter, splendid, beautiful.

After a few days of boating, Jing Xi went back to his courtyard to rest as soon as he arrived at the palace, this heart of the sea is under the care of the people, it is still dusty, even the flowers and trees in this courtyard are also well organized, but let Jing Xi have a kind of enjoyment of being in the palace.

As for Ah Heng Ah Yan, he still lives in this Jiale Hall with his father, and there are already all kinds of children's supplies prepared by celebrities in it, and Ah Heng Ah Yan's weekday care has also been handed over to Gu Yang's wife, after all, his father is now back in the capital, and the affairs of this army cannot be left behind.

It is not safe to hand it over to others, but this Gu Yang's wife volunteered to take care of Xiao Shizi and the county king, and her father also knew that she was relieved of her personality and ability, so he agreed.

This Ah Heng Ah Yan is still in infancy, he is busy with military affairs, and he doesn't want to continue, but now he has Gu Yang's wife to take care of him, which is much more convenient.

As soon as she arrived at Xinhaiju, this maid immediately surrounded her, and now that the county lord is back, this maid finally has a "place to use".

"See the county lord." The maids saluted to Jing Xi, and then saluted to the pair of sisters, "I've seen Miss Zhang Zhang, Miss Zhang Er." ”

"Get up. This is Shinyanagi, and she will be the steward of my side from now on, so you can ask her for advice on anything. Jing Xi pointed to Xinliu, introduced Xinliu to the maids, and gave her the position of steward, which is much more than the maids.

Besides, since this Jingxi came to Xia Kingdom and bought a person, Xinliu has always been taking care of her daily life, and she is used to it, and she doesn't want her to be inferior and cowardly in this mansion, but she can also exercise her ability.

"I've seen my aunt." The maids here all call the steward aunt, which is a good name, but Xinliu saw that they were slightly older than herself, and still called herself aunt, a little surprised, but she didn't say much, but said, "Get up, let's serve the county lord together in the future." ”

"Thank you, Auntie." The maids didn't dare to say much, listening to the tone of the county lord, they also knew that this aunt and county lord valued it quite much, but they wanted to have a good relationship with Xinliu.

These four big girls are named Chunmian, Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dongmei, and they are the maids selected by the mother for her daughter.

"Go and bring up some snacks and tea." Jing Xi commanded.

"Yes, County Lord." The maids received the order and bowed out.
