Chapter 212: Nightmare
"Well, I wish you and your new sister-in-law eternal marriage, and you will grow old."
Sun Chen blessed from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he was a little worried about him.
My mother's family is so powerful, if Liu Mingxuan has a little trouble in the future, he won't be torn apart by those four uncles? However, thinking that Liu Mingxuan has always stayed away from sensual dogs and horses, there are not many chances of accidents.
"Of course." Liu Mingxuan said arrogantly, "But seriously, it would be nice if she was a little more obedient." ”
Sun Chen supported his forehead, fortunately, there were only two of them in this carriage, if others listened to it, they would not laugh off their big teeth, the dignified Liu Mingxuan Liu Gongzi really couldn't hold his daughter-in-law?
……
The laughter on the road made the boring journey pass quickly, and Sun Chen and the others finally arrived at the capital on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month.
The capital is worthy of being the political and economic center of the Apocalypse Dynasty, and as soon as you enter the city gate, you can feel its solemnity. The high gates of the city stood tall, but on either side of the gates stood in a line of forty or fifty guards.
"This is because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the inventory is a little stricter than usual, as long as there is an ultimatum, you can enter after registration." Liu Mingxuan cooperated with the guards to inspect and explained to Sun Chen next to him.
The second girl and the maid on the side were also inspected, but the people who checked were not as careful as Sun Chen and them, and only looked at them a few times. Because Liu Mingxuan came and went to the capital closely, he gave him a few thin noodles, and the goods on the carriage were only checked by looking at them.
After entering the capital, Sun Chen felt that what he saw outside was just the tip of the iceberg of this metropolis.
"How? Or is it the most prosperous and magnificent in the capital? I won't regret it~" Liu Mingxuan said proudly.
Sun Chen smiled, the wide and straight street could allow four carriages to pass at the same time, and the shops on both sides were lined up, and the doors were like a market. I don't know if it's because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the streets are crowded, and everyone who enters and exits the store is still carrying more or less New Year's goods, and their faces are full of joy and hope.
The afterglow of the setting sun lightly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles on both sides and the extraordinarily brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a little hazy and poetic to the prosperous evening scene of the capital in front of Sun Chen.
There was a lot of traffic, a stream of people, and the piercing shouts of the vendors, who were selling their wares to the people passing by. The occasional carriage passing by the carriage, and the clatter of the horses on the bluestone slabs, made the pedestrians on both sides of the road consciously retreat to the side of the road, and the whole scene made Sun Chen feel as if he was in one of those costume TV dramas he had seen on TV before.
This made him can't help but lift the curtain of the car, looking at the realistic version of the Qingming Riverside Picture in front of him, his complicated eyes want to penetrate everything, and return to his time and space that can no longer be touched.
……
Seriously, he has seen a lot of scenes that are several times more lively than this, but he has never been so deeply touched by this moment.
The architecture here is so familiar that if everyone else were dressed in a different way, he would think that this is what he has been there since he was a child, in the old street of the old town called J City.
In an instant, all the emotions seemed to be in a hurry to vent and couldn't find an outlet, which made Sun Chen tremble.
“…… Ah Chen, what's wrong with you? Liu Mingxuan's voice was in his ears, but Sun Chen had no way to give a reaction, only maintained a fixed angle, and wandered out of the world.
Liu Mingxuan only shouted a few times at first, but Sun Chen didn't respond, he just thought that Sun Chen was fascinated by the scenery on the side of the road. But looking back, Sun Chen has been well-informed in the past two years, even if the capital is prosperous, can he still be dazzled? So he went to shake him, but he found that no matter how he shook it, Sun Chen seemed to be frozen, and there was no movement.
At this time, he realized that something was wrong, and he slapped Sun Chen with all his might, "Smack!" ”
The sudden pain brought Sun Chen back to his senses, and he turned his head to see Liu Mingxuan's worried face.
"The strength is really not small, you see my face is swollen~"
Hearing Sun Chen's words, Liu Mingxuan exhaled with relief, "What happened to you just now?" It scared the hell out of me. ”
"It's not much, I just thought about things and was fascinated by things, and I didn't react for a while," Sun Chen said casually, pulling the muscles on his face when he opened his mouth to speak, "Oh, it hurts me to death, you really do it!" You definitely did it on purpose, right? ”
"What's wrong with the deliberate? Master, I've long seen that you don't like your eyes, what's wrong? Liu Mingxuan saw that Sun Chen didn't want to say it, and he didn't force him anymore, just raised his eyebrows and snorted.
"I don't care, this slap can't let you beat in vain, you have to be responsible for contracting labor to recuperate, and all my expenses in the capital will be covered by you!"
"Isn't that easy?" Liu Mingxuan looked proud, "Walking~"
……
They did not have a guest house in the capital, and Liu Mingxuan bought a house here in his early years.
The house is located in the center of the city, only three streets away from the palace where the Ninety-Five Supreme lives, Sun Chen looked all the way, and found that he was a neighbor with the younger brother of the emperor, Prince Cheng.
"Okay, Liu Gongzi, this little day is quite nourishing!" Sun Chen teased.
"Of course, isn't making money just for spending, didn't you teach me this sentence?"
Liu Mingxuan got down from the carriage and instructed the housekeeper waiting on the side: "Arrange a guest room for Sun Gongzi and them to rest." ”
"Yes." The butler saluted respectfully, and then walked up to Sun Chen.
"Sun Gongzi, please, the guest room is ready."
"Thank you." Sun Chen nodded at him, and after the second girl got out of the car, he stepped forward to grab him, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Childe is polite."
Sun Chen greeted Liu Mingxuan, and followed the housekeeper to the guest room, leaving Liu Mingxuan there, looking at Sun Chen's back thoughtfully.
……
Liu Mingxuan's house was the fourth, and Sun Chen was taken the third. There are very few servants and maids along the way, and the occasional ones are only the housekeepers who are responsible for cleaning. On both sides of the road, there are several precious trees, and it is winter, and they are all wrapped tightly with straw curtains. There are also exquisite flower beds in the air, Sun Chen guessed that there should be flowers planted in them.
The exquisite corridor reminded Sun Chen of Liu Mingxuan's leisurely residence in Taikang Town, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, although Liu Mingxuan looked chic and uninhibited and didn't care about anything, it can be seen that he also has some interest in his bones and pursues life.
"Our son-in-law doesn't live here permanently, so there are only a few housekeepers and cooks who are responsible for cleaning, and they have been wronged in the past two days. After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Ya Po began to do business, and I went to choose a few maids for the young lady to wait. ”
The butler explained apologetically.
