Chapter 52: The Audience
Feng Ji Teahouse, Xin Xi walked out with two children who had washed and changed into new clothes.
The teahouse of this era has already arranged the bathroom, there is hot water on weekdays, and the guests need to take a bath, so there is a small servant to call the hot water, but it costs ten yuan to wash once, for ordinary people, there are ten dollars, it is better to go to the Bianhe River to wash a good time.
Thirty-six looked at the two children with a puzzled face, and saw that the two children looked very symbolic, especially the little boy, whose dripping eyes were rolling wildly, looking full of aura.
"These are the two?!" Thirty-six is somewhat uncertain.
Xin Xi smiled and nodded, looked at the two children kindly, and asked, "What's your name?!" ”
The little girl shook her head, her eyes glazed: "There is no name, they call me a girl, and a younger brother and a dog." ”
Xin Zhen shook his head: "I'll give you a name." ”
The little girl looked up, her dull eyes brightened, and the little boy looked at him curiously.
"My sister's name is Adam, my brother's name is Eve, and my surname is Xin!"
Cyn Adam, Cine Eve. New Adam? New Eve?!
Who created Adam and Eve? It's God!
From today on, Lao Tzu is God!!
Ha ha!
It's rare, Xin Zhen amused himself.
These two names actually represent a wish of Xin Xi, in the Western creation theory, Adam and Eve created a new era for mankind, and he hopes that one day, he can truly save the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, also open a new era for mankind!
Anyway, these two little ones are only about ten years old, which is the right age for learning. The little girl showed a strong psychological quality when she first met, and the little boy was also ghostly, so he must not be stupid.
If so, it may be easier to teach them some knowledge in the future than to train Shen Kuo?!
Laughing, Xin Xi took a child in one hand, bought two strings of sugar gourds, and walked home.
It's a pity that the little girl doesn't eat sugar gourds. Xin Xi solved the second sugar gourd by himself.
Not to mention, the sugar gourd of the Great Song Dynasty is the real original sugar gourd, sweet and sour, pure natural, pollution-free and additive-free!
Adam didn't have a sugar gourd, but she didn't envy or gluttony, but held her big hand, which made her feel extra at ease.
Three-mile paths, barren grass and trees, hundred-mile cities, fireworks and people's voices.
Everything is different.
This is Adam's feeling later, that is, from this day - February 13, Jiayou 8th year, Jiaxu Day, under the spring breeze and drizzle of His Royal Highness King Jing and the heavy and warm big hand, they got a new life, understood happiness, knew the bond, and truly behaved. Therefore, she is willing to die for His Royal Highness King Jing!
That's a long, long time later.
The spring breeze and the sun, gradually, the sky has clouds gathering.
From afar, Xin Xi saw an extra carriage at the door of his house, and a man dressed as a eunuch stood under the car.
Eunuch?!
This is a very rare thing in the later generations, at least Xin Xi has never seen it, so at this time, he is very curious.
Quickly stepped forward, looked at it carefully, his face was white and beardless, and he looked fat, well, the legends are true.
Xin Zhen bowed his hand: "I don't know what Your Excellency is doing here?!" ”
When the old eunuch who was about to fall asleep while standing heard this, his body trembled, and he almost fell after stumbling.
The old eunuch quickly stood firm, and as he opened his mouth, a sharp and delicate voice came out: "But Xin Shiyi Lang Xinxi?!" ”
Paralyzed, the eunuch's voice is really ugly, the voice of a male duck, mixed with the ultrasound of chalk hanging on the blackboard, Xin Xi has a desire to pluck his ears.
"It's down there!"
"Your Majesty has sent a decree to order Xin Xi to enter the palace for an audience!" The old eunuch dragged out a long trill.
Enter the palace?! See the Emperor?!
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the matter?!" As he spoke, Xin Xi quickly glanced at the thirty-six envoys.
Thirty-six has a miserable face, since he followed Eleven Lang, he is doing all the shitty things!
Speechless in his heart, Thirty-six quickly took out a piece of silver of ten taels and stuffed it into the old eunuch's arms.
Eve on the side was simply stunned, white flowers...... Silver, and Adam was still glazed-eyed.
The old eunuch smiled, and did not refuse, and after collecting the silver taels, he smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's a good thing, our family can only reveal these promises, otherwise, Your Majesty will not be able to spare our family." ”
Good thing?!
Xin Xi nodded suspiciously, and wanted to reach out and knock on the door. At the same time, he said: "Father-in-law might as well eat before leaving?" ”
The eunuch's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Your Majesty has said that when you see Shiyi Lang, you will take Shiyi Lang into the palace, but you can't delay!" ”
In such a hurry?!
Xin Zhen's mind began to think, the emperor summoned him, it seemed that there was no reason, even if Ouyang Xiu played football, he couldn't summon him!
"Thirty-six, you settle Adam and Eve first, and I will follow this father-in-law into the palace first!"
"Whoa!" Thirty-six agreed that if Xin Xi went somewhere else, he would naturally follow, but he couldn't enter the palace.
"This father-in-law, let's go?!" Xin Zhen looked back and asked with a smile.
The old eunuch nodded and said, "Eleven Lang, please get in the car, by the way, Eleven Lang can call me Wang Liu." The name of father-in-law is too raw. ”
Xin Xi smiled and got into the carriage: "There is a prince of Lao!" ”
"Well, I can't afford it." The old eunuch drove the horse.
"Deserved, deserved!" Xin Zhen was speechless.
It can be seen that this prince is estimated to be a professional driver, and his skills in driving a carriage are too good to say, at least, when this prince drives a carriage, he will not have the bumps of a fuel wall car, but will be as stable as a car in later generations.
There was nothing to say all the way, Xin Xi intended to inquire about the things in the palace, but unfortunately, this prince is also a good person, whenever he asks the key points, the dead eunuch will talk about him left and right.
The royal carriage walked on the streets, like an ambulance in later generations, which could run traffic lights indiscriminately, and even more evaded those who saw it, so the journey was very smooth.
In just three quarters of an hour, the majestic imperial city appeared at the end of Suzaku Street!
This is a unique feature of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial city and the dwellings do not have such a clear boundary as the Sui and Tang dynasties, but they are connected together, but the edge of the imperial city is within 20 zhang, but it is empty, and 20 zhang outside is the world.
On the ten-zhang high vermilion city wall, there is a ban on the ban army patrolling with bows and arrows on their backs, with long lances, and long swords (the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is divided into three divisions, Ban Zhi, the upper four armies, and more than three million forbidden troops stationed outside the city and in Shaanxi, Hebei!). Among them, the four armies are divided into the sun, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei), and the city wall is arranged with the great Song Dynasty's divine weapons - divine arm crossbows.
It is said that anyone who steps into the edge of the imperial city wall for no reason is only a dead end!
Xin Zhen didn't know much about this, and he hadn't tried it.
The carriage slowly drove from Suzaku Street to a distance of twenty zhang, and a burst of "click" sounds containing a sense of power suddenly sounded on the high city wall, which was the sound of the divine arm crossbow and the bed crossbow preparing to wind up and pull the mechanism.
The old eunuch's face was indifferent, and without the slightest panic, he took out a palm-sized golden token from his arms.
Then, on the city wall, the bed crossbow was retracted, and the forbidden army on duty waved his hand.
A violent crunching sound sounded, and the gate of the imperial city, which was three feet high and two feet wide, slowly opened inward.
Its solemn atmosphere made De Xin involuntarily have a trace of awe.
The carriage moved slowly forward.
Under the tall city gate is a deep and silent city gate hole.
As the carriage passed through the city gate, the tall gate closed again, and the voices of people on Suzaku Street disappeared, as if a gate cut off a world!
Carved railings and jade masonry, rockery gardens, and even the corners of the eaves are carved out of Xu lifelike beasts.
A slice of magnificence! Its exquisiteness is the exquisite villa built by famous designers in later generations, and it is not as good as a garden in this imperial city.
The Imperial City is big, really big!
This is Xin Xi's impression of the imperial city, it only takes about ten minutes, seven turns and eight turns, and Xin Xi has already lost his way.
He estimated that if no one led the way when he turned around, he was afraid that he would not be able to find where the gate of the imperial city was for three days and three nights......
After getting out of the carriage, when he was confused, Xin Xi was told to wait, and the old eunuch walked towards the main hall alone.
Xin Xi looked up and saw three gilded characters written on the door of the main hall - Vertical Arch Hall.
