Chapter 35 Entering Beijing
The carriage left Luofeng Mountain and entered the avenue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 This section of the road was wide and straight, which could accommodate 16 horse-drawn carriages in parallel, but it was congested by the business travelers from the south to the north, the official convoy ordered to leave Beijing, and the people who fled to Beijing......
Because ahead is the heart of the Daxuan Dynasty, a super city with a population of one million - Luodu City!
The houses on both sides of the avenue are also densely packed, not the farmhouses and towns seen along the way, but the Baoxie floors with pink walls and fine willows, flying eaves and heavy pavilions, the garden courtyards with pink walls and tiles, and the temples and Taoist temples that are resplendent like palaces...... made Lu Yun dizzy, it really felt like a hillbilly entering the city.
The first time he left Beijing in his life, he took this road, but at that time, he only cared about running for his life, where would he notice the scenery by the roadside?
"This is even more prosperous than Yuhang City." Lu Yun couldn't help but marvel.
"Of course!" Lu Ying proudly explained to Lu Yun: "This is Luodu City, for thousands of years, it has been the most prosperous city in the world!" After a pause, she emphasized again: "This is still a suburb of Beijing, and when you get to the capital, don't drop your jaw!" ”
"The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are so rich?" Lu Yun was a little incredulous.
"That's not ......" Lu Ying said: "There is not an inch of land in a radius of five hundred miles outside the capital, and not an inch of land belongs to the people. ”
"It's all royal and gatekeeper?" Lu Yun understood. "So, these manors and pavilions beside the road are also theirs?"
"Not bad." Lu Ying nodded, pointed to a whitewashed building in the distance and said, "That is our Lu family's Jiangnan Garden, there are more than a dozen gardens of this scale in the suburbs of Beijing." ”
Lu Yun nodded silently, he finally had an intuitive feeling of the grandeur and luxury of the family's gate valve.
Sure enough, as Lu Ying said, the closer you get to Luodu, the more prosperous it is in front of you, and the crowd of people and horses is endless, rolling towards the huge city in front of you!
The city of Los Angeles has finally arrived! Looking at the blue-gray city wall that is more than ten feet high, it makes people feel small. The convoy was like a small fish, following the black and crushing fish, and poured into the city of Luodu.
As soon as we entered the city, the scene was ten times more noisy. I saw shops on both sides of the street, and colorful flags were displayed in front of the door. On the street, there are all kinds of pedestrians rubbing shoulders with each other, and there are all kinds of people from all religions. There were also many merchants from the Western Regions who led camels, dressed in strange clothes, and had high noses and deep eyes, as well as Tianzhu monks with shaved heads and robes, who set out from distant foreign lands and came to the center of the world almost like a pilgrimage!
What is slightly discordant is that there are too many victims in Kyoto. Groups of beggars in ragged clothes, begging from house to house along the streets. You can see the thatched huts they erected everywhere, obviously to live in the capital for a long time......
They had come from the stricken states because they knew that only in this city of Los Angeles could they survive...... The government, the palace, and all the valves have set up porridge factories in various parts of the capital, and the victims of the disaster have lined up in long queues, waiting in front of a big cauldron, which is the hope that their whole family will survive.
The carriage moved slowly, and Lu Yun and his brother could clearly hear the conversation of the victims.
"If you want to be generous, it is still Xiahou Valve's porridge factory, and there is more rice than the porridge factory in the palace."
"Yes, I heard that Xiahou Valve has made a rule that the pot for boiling porridge must be able to stand up with chopsticks. As soon as the chopsticks fall down, the person who boils the porridge will fall to the ground......"
"Meivale's porridge factory is also very good, although it is not as good as Xiahou Valve, but it is much stronger than several others!"
"If you want to talk about the most gasy, the land valve is the most angry, the porridge can reflect the shadow of the person, and only a few grains of rice are in a pot?"
"Really! This land valve is also known as a heirloom of poetry and books, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, why is it so shameless? ”
"The people at the top naturally want face, but the people at the bottom don't, who can do anything?"
The carriage gradually moved away, and the voices of the victims gradually became blurred, but Lu Xin's face was full of shock.
。
When the carriage drove through the market, I saw a big river in front of me, which was the Luo River. The north is where the imperial palace is located, and the descendants of the clan and the seven valves also live in the north of the Luoshui River.
Luonan is the residence of small and medium-sized scholars, officials and ordinary people, and the sidelines, subordinates, and subordinates of the various gate valves also live here.
The whole city is like a chessboard, the Luo River is the Han boundary of the Chu River, and the chessboard in the north is high above, looking down on the subjects in the south......
When the carriage arrived at the south of Luoshui Bridge, it did not move further, but went east along the Luohe River, and arrived in front of a riverside fangmen.
The team entered Congshanfang and stopped in front of a house, and there was already an old man with gray hair, waiting for it.
"Grandpa!" When Lu Ying saw the old man, she jumped out of the carriage and ran over with red eyes.
When the old man saw his granddaughter who had not seen him for ten years, he was excited and tearful, took Lu Ying's hand and looked at it again, and said in a trembling voice: "Ying'er, you are back......"
"This is your grandfather." Lu Xin walked up to Lu Yun and whispered. "Come and see you."
The old man had already looked over at this time, and looked at Lu Yun with excitement on his face.
Lu Yun also saw that the old man was Lu Xin's father, Lu Xiang. He took a deep breath, pressed his complicated mood, stepped forward and kowtowed, "Grandson, meet grandpa......"
Lu Xiang hugged Lu Yun, patted him on the back vigorously, and said incoherently excitedly: "Good grandson, I miss my grandfather...... It's a pity that your grandma didn't take one last look at you, so let grandpa take a good look......"
As he spoke, Lu Xiang's old eyes widened and he looked at his grandson.
At that moment, Lu Xin, Mrs. Lu, and Lu Ying all raised their hearts to their throats. Lu Yun was even more frozen.
"Good grandson, the change is really big, grandpa can't recognize it......" Lu Xiang looked at Lu Yun and sighed constantly: "This nose and this eye are much better looking than when I was a child......
"Grandpa," Lu Ying hurriedly stepped forward and said coquettishly, "You can see if I look good or ugly." ”
Lu Xiang really moved his gaze to Lu Ying, and said with a smile: "It's also better-looking, the eighteenth female college has changed, and the more it changes, the more it looks!" Saying that, he said angrily to Lu Xin: "You brute, you have been away from home for ten years, and the old man can't even recognize his grandchildren!" ”
Lu Xin smiled wryly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this level is over......
At this time, Mrs. Lu saluted Ah Weng again, and after repeated confusion, Lu Xiang completely stopped paying attention to Lu Yun's appearance. For the lonely old man, as long as the grandchildren can return to his side, it is the greatest comfort, where will he study the changes in his appearance.
What's more, who can remember what it looked like ten years ago?
Huang Ling and the others helped Lu Xin, moved the luggage and belongings into the house, and then left. The troops of the land valve also left as soon as they entered the city, but there was no shortage of people in the courtyard. Congshan Fang is one of the eight settlements of Lu Valve in Nancheng, the square is full of the same clan and clan, and Lu Xiang is the owner of this place, so all the neighbors naturally come over and congratulate Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang hadn't been so happy for many years, and ordered someone to charter fifty tables from the restaurant, but he couldn't put them in the house, so he opened a flowing water seat on the street.
Naturally, Lu Xiang would not forget to invite Luobei's descendants, but only a few representatives came over there and perfunctory, obviously not taking this family to heart.
This made Lu Xiang inevitably happy and quite sad. He is the cousin of the lord Lu Shang, and he is the same grandfather as Lu Shangnai, who has lived in Luobei for most of his life, and only later moved to this Congshanfang. I didn't expect that for the first time in more than ten years, I couldn't invite the same sect in Luobei......
