Qingzhou is not far from Bianjing, and the skills of several people are up and down, but the equestrian skills are not weak, although Wang Lun was originally a weak scholar, after all, he has also worked as a hero for so many years, and his martial arts are indeed very clumsy, but his riding skills are reasonable, at least he will not hold everyone back.

After several days of galloping, the heroes finally came to the boundary of Gyeonggi Road, thanks to the proper repair of the official road in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chong Yanfeng thought that the official road in Weizhou was wide, but he didn't think that it was only one-third of the capital, and the official road here on both sides of the willow in addition to the wind and sand, there is another green symbol, that is, the lotus and lotus planted in the drainage ditch on both sides.

In later generations, I am afraid that we can only see a piece of lotus flowers in the park, but in the Great Song Dynasty it was used as a drainage ditch decoration, I don't know whether to say that the Great Song Dynasty is too rich, or the Great Song Dynasty arrogant people are too tyrannical......

The houses on both sides of the official road are also more and more dense, the scene of Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smelling each other appears in front of everyone's eyes again, the people's homes with pink walls and tiles, the official gentry's mansions with high walls and eaves, the temples and Taoist temples with glazed tile roofs, there is no idle land in half of the hundred miles, the red makeup is happy to Baoxie floors, and the beautiful scenery of the white-faced singing near the painting bridge and flowing water is perfectly presented in front of you

This place is still far from the capital, but everyone has to tighten the reins and slow down the speed of the horse, it is really too many vehicles from the south to the north, when the new flowers, fruits and vegetables, fish, shrimp, turtles, crabs, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, quails, rabbits, preserved meats, clothes and hats, gold and jade treasures, are pulled into the capital by a carriage. The four canals of Jinshui, Wuzhang, Bian, and Cai, as well as eight land passages such as Nanxun, Xuande, and Suzaku, and the twelve city gates are like the main arteries of the capital, continuously pumping blood to the capital.

Before arriving at Shuntianmen, a group of heroes have stopped unconsciously, because there is a sparkling square lake on the left side of the road, the whole lake is surrounded by a circle of ten miles, although there is a circle of walls around the lake, but it does not prevent everyone from seeing the giant arch bridge of the south bank to the center of the pond with a vermilion lacquer fence shield and a row of wild goose pillars, the weeping willows are widely planted on the edge of the lake, and the pavilions of the palace tower and the strange stone bridge of the ancient pine and cypress complement each other!

"This is Jinming Pond, the Sprinkle family came to Bianjing when they were young, and it is open to the people during the festival!" Recalling the old past, Luda is also immersed in it, "Painting boat cruises, dragon boat competitions, various water projects and crowds of tourists, that scene is really lively!" ”

Chong Yanfeng knew that Luda had come to the capital when he was young, and Luda also knew Lin Chong's father, and Chong Yanfeng also knew a little about the Jin Ming Pond that Lu Da praised, and the regular pool around this ten miles square was originally the place where the Great Song Dynasty staged the army, and it was further expanded here in this dynasty, because the Jin Ming Pool of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong completely became a place to play in the water, and the function of performing martial arts has disappeared for a long time......

Most people in the world only know the Qingming Riverside Map, but they don't know that Zhang Zeduan also painted a picture of the "Jinming Pond Bidding Map", which depicts the scene of the water battle and the folk dragon boat race on the Jinming Pond. Jin Mingchi, which was destroyed in later generations due to a series of factors such as wars and floods, is now just in front of Chong Yanfeng, and Chong Dashao, who has always been pampered and not shocked, is also a little excited in his heart.

Everyone is sighing at the beautiful scenery of Jinmingchi, but Wang Lun is looking at the other side of the street in a daze, everyone found that they also looked at the past with Wang Lun's gaze, what catches their eyes is a courtyard of more than ten miles, the wall of Tonghong Palace is covered with glazed tiles of various colors, a rockery dozens of zhang high on the south side of the courtyard is also seen through the wall, the mountain road is paved with brocade stones, and on the mountainside is the stacked dragon flying pavilion, although there is no beautiful wave of Jinmingchi, but it adds a bit of exquisite beauty.

"This is Qionglin Garden, and Jinming Pond, Yichun Garden outside Jinyao Gate in the west of the city and Yujin Garden outside Nanxun Gate in the south of the city have become the four major royal gardens!" As an old driver who has been to the capital, Luda also explained, "It is said that rockery ponds can be seen everywhere in Qionglin Garden, and a large number of famous flowers from Lingnan and Jiangnan are planted, the most famous is the snow-like Qionghua, which is also the origin of the name of Qionglin Garden."

"It is said that His Majesty has also added a new shooting hall and a court in Qionglin Garden, but unfortunately it is not open to the public, and I am afraid that I will not have the eyes to appreciate it!" Jia Shushen's younger brother ran errands for Chong Yanfeng before and came to the capital to report the safety of Steward Sun and others, and also told his brother everything he saw and heard in the capital, so Jia Shushen also came prepared this time, of course, his first task was to be a guide for Chong Yanfeng and others to go home!

"Not necessarily!" Wang Lun finally cheered up from his distraction, sighed and then retracted his gaze, "This Qionglin Garden is also called the Qionglin Banquet, which is the place where Kyoto feasts the new Jinshi, after the palace examination, His Majesty will announce the ranking of the Dengke Jinshi here and give a banquet, then Xiao Langjun will be able to see the beautiful scenery here......"

"Haha, borrowing the words of Brother Wang, maybe you can swim with Brother Brother when the time comes!" Chong Yanfeng beckoned everyone into the city with a perfunctory sentence, and the Great Song Dynasty was as strong as a cloud, especially after Song Huizong deposed the states and counties, Taixue basically took all the lists, and it was not easy to win a place from them, and in Wang Lun's case, it would be ironclad and useless without special means!

Of course, helping Wang Lun to obtain the qualification of the son of the country is the key in front of him, there is no shortage of silver now, Xiaoqi's business in Weizhou has begun to earn, and he has also gained a lot in Qingzhou.

Seeing the famous Jin Mingchi, everyone also felt that it was worth the money to go around the city far away, and the group packed up their mood and went straight to Shuntianmen, and after a simple inspection, everyone entered the city, and everyone immediately had a sense of being separated from the world when they just stepped into the outer city.

Just now in front of the eyes are still that kind of refreshing countryside and pavilions, in an instant all become rows of housing buildings, of course, full of people's eyeballs or the variety of shops, the prosperous scene that I saw in Weizhou City has made a kind of big and young heartbroken, and when I came to Bianjing, I only knew which is called prosperity and what is prosperity!

Silk shop, paper shop, head shop, porcelain shop, blacksmith shop, flower shop, needlework shop, folding fan shop, head and face shop, eat and play, chicken, duck and fish, firewood, rice, oil and salt, flowers and plants, only you can't think of no one can do it, the cart vendors are endless, the crowd of people shopping is shoulder to shoulder, how to call a lively.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the door of the house was not allowed to open to the street, and it was not allowed to engage in trading activities in places other than the designated market, but now it is the most enlightened Song Dynasty in feudal society, and the above cumbersome rules are all not, and the people can play how they want, how to be happy, the government allows the citizens to open shops on both sides of the imperial corridor, and allows the people to set up shops along the street to do business, not only that, the Song Dynasty government also relaxed the curfew in order to activate the economic and cultural life, and the city gate was closed very late, but it was opened very early.

Of course, due to these open settings, the phenomenon of occupying the road in the Great Song Market is very serious, and the most spacious official road in the world at that time can not withstand the occupation of vendor stalls, and the traffic is inevitably a little tight, but fortunately, there are some military patrol shops patrolling the street every few hundred steps on the main road, which has the figure of Yanfeng's most familiar occupation!

These people are responsible for maintaining traffic order and directing the flow of people and vehicles during the day; Responsible for the anti-theft and fire prevention of the government's commercial houses at night, yes, they are the urban management army that let the small merchants and hawkers talk about the tiger in later generations!
