Chapter 755: The Imperial Capital of the Capital
***
A group of twenty or thirty people, rushing during the day and staying at night, enter the post station if there is a post station, and find an inn if there is no post station, Hu Guards and others have already walked through it once before, this kind of thing did not worry Xu Jiaojiao and the others.
Xu Jiaojiao and her husband are both going to the capital for the first time, and they are not familiar with the original route, if it is only the two of them, they will definitely take some unjust roads, not so fast, this time it saves some time.
However, if you count the time that Hu guards and their time at Lao Xu's house are counted, it is almost the same.
Along the way, Xu Jiaojiao saw the idyllic scenery, the sky was blue, and the water was clear, but it was a pity that they were in a hurry and couldn't get off the bus at will.
The inn is the most contacted, most of them are built on the side of the road, and they are all brick and wood structures. The shopkeeper and the guys of the inn saw that they were dozens of people, basically dressed in uniform, only two people were not, but their status was the highest.
Perhaps because of this, the journey along the way was extremely smooth, and Xu Jiaojiao did not see the legendary people who liked to open mountains and plant trees to buy road wealth.
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing have good physical fitness, and they did not suffer from motion sickness.
Hu Guards admired Xu Jiaojiao very much, and he thought that Xu Jiaojiao would be motion sickness and seasickness to drag down the process of hurrying, but as a result, this little girl's thief spirit was better than their experienced guards.
To be honest, Xu Jiaojiao didn't feel tired at all along the way, so it was a trip.
Good food, good drink, good treatment.
The carriage is particularly comfortable, and every time you arrive at the station, you will change to a new horse, and the carriage will not change.
Except for the fact that the road is sometimes difficult to walk and some bumps, there is nothing wrong with the others.
Often when I wake up, a hundred and ten miles have passed.
Since she crossed over, she went to Ice Sun City last time and saw the scenery of Snow City, and this is the second time she has gone far away to the capital.
After entering the capital, Hu Guards, Liao Qing and the others discussed, simply rested at the ferry, and after eating, they went to Du Mansion.
According to Hu guards, the location of the capital is in the north of Daxiang, the weather is dry, there is no waterway, the winter is cold, the summer is hot, but the victory is safe, there are capital defenses on all sides, the enemy country can not attack in, the imperial capital of the capital enjoys the tribute from all directions, the wealth is incomparable, the building is prosperous, the big wild goose pagoda is towering into the clouds, and the bell of the temple of the first emperor is simple and far-reaching.
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes were dizzying.
She has recently learned a little about the history of this Daxiang country, formerly known as the Daxiang Dynasty, and at its most glorious, it was known as dominating the world.
After the gradual decline, fragmented, split into five countries, Daxiang is only one of the five countries, there is no qualification to call the dynasty, even the dynasty is almost untitled, recently the national fortune is not good, repeatedly bullied by the surrounding countries, the court inaction, plus natural disasters, sometimes locust plagues, droughts, plagues, earthquakes, etc., the people are poor, and the days are getting more and more difficult.
But the historical traces are still there, the magnificent Temple of the First Emperor and the ancient Big Wild Goose Pagoda are the landmark buildings of the capital.
Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao were in the carriage, Liao Qing took the books of different customs and customs, and introduced and explained them to Xu Jiaojiao one by one.
Xu Jiaojiao felt that although Liao Qing was also here for the first time, it seemed that he was confident in everything, which was really unusual.
The capital is really prosperous, and a big carriage like the two of them sit, in a small remote place, every time they pass, it is bound to attract onlookers, but here, the streets are full of all kinds of luxurious carriages, and the common people are not surprised, that is, get out of the way after one look, and no one will take a second look.
Or the people of the imperial capital are insightful.
Xu Jiaojiao thought like this, full of expectations for this place. Although it is comfortable in the countryside, it has always seen less, and now it is a good opportunity to see a country, and it is also a good yearning for it, after all, it is a different life.
The houses on both sides of the street are a few years old, but the streets are very spacious, and big carriages like the Du family can walk several side by side, which is not crowded.
This fully illustrates the prosperity of the former Daxiang Kingdom.
Along the way, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing muttered in the carriage to look at the scenery and discuss human feelings, and soon arrived at Du's house.
Hu Guard's heart was full of admiration, this little couple is really not an ordinary person, but if they change people casually, they are probably too nervous now, after all, it is the most important and important thing in life, the children who are in the countryside are led back to the main house for a while, and they are a little uneasy in their hearts, and they are worried about the future or something, the closer they get to Du Mansion at this time, shouldn't they be more nervous?
But the young couple was muttering about the customs of the capital all the way, as well as historical monuments and so on.
I didn't look apprehensive at all.
It's like the kind of person who goes to the house of a friend who knows each other so well that he can't get to know each other anymore? How does it feel to have a meal?
Hu Guards really can't figure out this new young master.
……
Not far in front is the gate of Du Mansion, Xu Jiaojiao opened a little curtain and looked over, and saw two tall stone lions, placed on both sides respectively, the style is extraordinary, the high house is large, the eaves are carved and carved, and there is a plaque hanging above.
Two gilded characters, Du Fu.
The handwriting seems to be flat and stable, but if you look closely, there is a hint of madness in the stability.
Xu Jiaojiao silently guessed that this plaque was written by the younger generation of people in the house, and those who have such pen power among the young people are also extraordinary.
They had just stopped the carriage at the gate of the Du Mansion, and from the side road, two small servants came out, who should be the descendants of the Du family.
Walked quickly to Hu Guards and his party and spoke for a while.
I saw that the Hu guards got off their horses and came over.
"The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, the Du Mansion has arrived, I have already handed over to the servants, the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother will enter the mansion directly, and I will retire first."
"Thank you, Guard Hu."
Guard Hu arched his hand, "Goodbye." ”
He went down first with dozens of guards.
This is the end of their escort mission, it took more than a month to come and go, and it is time to go back to their lives.
After they left, Liao Qing whispered to Xu Jiaojiao, "What did you say?" ”
Xu Jiaojiao also whispered back, "I didn't lie, I said that Master Du was working in the household department, and he was waiting for them to return to his life, saying that he would hand us over to them." ”
Liao Qing nodded.
As soon as the guards withdrew with the guard group, there was only the lonely carriage that Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao were riding at the gate of the Du Mansion.
The two servants stepped forward and said, "Please dismount from the carriage and follow us into the house." ”
Liao Qing got off the carriage first, he was wearing a green shirt, although it was a new clothes, but there was no style, simple and unpretentious, not even embroidery, but wearing it on his body, it made people feel radiant, decent and generous, born too dazzling, without any gorgeous clothes, it can bring its own light.
