094 Kyoto
Li Yuqing didn't think like this in her heart, the life-saving grace still has to be repaid, the boy still has to watch it, she is tempted by her skin, this is not unbreakable, she still has to see what this is like to decide her future plans.
She just said that, but she was just talking about it and having a good time.
On the morning of the 24th, Li Yuqing and his entourage were about to enter Kyoto, and the oncoming city wall was majestic and solemn, revealing the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
The walls are brick-red with gold, which is the most solemn and shining color, representing the power and untouchable majesty of the imperial city.
The city wall is as high as about 30 meters, which is twice as high as the capital city of Yan'an, and the city wall is horizontally wide and boundless, standing on this land like a giant from a distance, guarding the imperial city inside.
The gates were also painted brick-red, and they were neatly arranged with round golden rivets, which were large and the gold paint on them reflected the food around them, like lions staring at the eyes of brass bells to intimidate passers-by.
There is a big plaque hanging on the city gate, gold paint on a black background, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing are written with two big characters in Kyoto, the words are expressive, just like the majestic momentum of the dragon Aotian, the sacredness of the birds and the phoenix, only these two words, show the momentum of the imperial city!
Li Yuqing squinted his eyes and looked at the entire city gate, his heart was shocked, and he was deeply shocked by the momentum of the emperor and the queen in the short two words, this is the momentum of the emperor, the city gate of the Forbidden City back then was slightly inferior to this, not to mention the vivid and majestic persecution.
The guards guarding the city were all dressed in golden armor, with upright and solemn faces, tall and strong, although the number was small, but they were orderly, and they took care of the many people entering the city without any disorder.
There is also a team of golden guards riding in the city gate Pang patrolling, the horses are tall and strong, and the people on the body are even more with a solemn momentum to come, when a team is coming, the sound of horses' hooves is neat and majestic, with the golden armor guards tall and fierce sight, like thousands of horses coming, with the momentum of being able to step on the Mo land.
The outside of the city wall is very quiet, very quiet, listen a little carefully, you can hear the breathing of the people around you, whether it is the ordinary people walking on their feet, or the caravan that is miles long, or even the nobles on the gorgeous carriages, all of them dare not make a noise, for fear of disturbing the majesty of the imperial city.
This scene is completely different from when Li Yuqing entered other prefectures, all the way to Kyoto, whether it was Yan'an Mansion or other prefectures, when entering the central prefecture, the people were lively and lively in line, talking and laughing, very relaxed and happy, this quiet and solemn appearance is the first time to see.
Is this the majesty of Kyoto? The people unconsciously respected it, which shows that Kyoto's status in people's hearts is still sacrosanct.
This is an imperial city where the Son of Heaven lives, with a living soul, as well as the admiration and sincerity of the people under the loess.
Li Yuqing was very excited in her heart, this is what a country looks like in a prosperous era, Heqing Haiyan, the world is peaceful, the imperial power is sincerely supported and respected, and there is long-term stability.
There was a pride in her heart, what kind of contribution could she make to this dynasty? This dynasty is exactly the peaceful and prosperous era she had in mind.
Because the people who entered the city were quiet and cooperative, the process of entering the city was completed quickly and well, and after a while, many people entered in front.
After queuing for more than half an hour, it was finally Li Yuqing's turn to a convoy, called the road guide, and the golden armor guards checked the contents of the carriage one by one, and finally the eldest brother of the golden armor took out Wen Xiang, who was stealing dried small fish in the back carriage, and handed it to Li Yuqing with a smile: "Is this moon beast Miss's?" Very naughty. ”
Li Yuqing swallowed her saliva, have you ever seen the smile of a macho man?
Li Yuqing looked at the Wenxiang that the eldest brother was carrying upside down, and the limbs and claws fluttering wildly.
Carefully took Wenxiang back.
He took it out of his pocket, took out a general fourth-level membership card of Xinmu Zhai Mansion City and handed it over, with a somewhat stiff smile on his face: "Thank you, big brother!" ”
The golden guard touched the purse, not gold and silver, but a card, and thought it was his daughter's family stationery, so he accepted it.
After Li Yuqing and his entourage entered the city gate, they ravaged Wenxiang in the car, and the cat scared her.
Although she seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, she is also a girl, she can't lift her hands, she can't resist her shoulders, and she looked at Jin Jiawei's tall and fierce appearance before, and her heart was also extremely cowardly.
With such a macho man's smile, it was really frightening to lose a few hairs.
But he smiled happily again.
Wenxiang has been growing up since she was a little older, she can't stay anymore, she likes to run around, running around in various carriages, but her body is flexible, her ears are smart, and her nose is even more sensitive. Among the accompanying bodyguards, only Xingyi Xing and Xing Er can catch it once in a while, and it takes a lot of effort.
Li Yuqing was afraid that it would be lost, and every time it walked around, he would look for it, and later found that it would come back if he couldn't lose it, so he didn't care about it, and he was a lot more happy to be caught by this big brother of Jin Jiawei.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this Kyoto is really powerful, and a guard guarding the city gate has such good skills.
When the convoy entered the city, Li Yuqing lifted the curtain and looked out, the inside and outside of the city gate were simply two extremes, how quiet the outside was, how lively the inside was.
The main street is very wide, and Li Yuqing, the street in Yan'an Mansion that can run eight or two carriages, feels very wide, and the streets of Kyoto really make her a dirt bun that shook and trembled, and she could run eighteen taels of carriages, doubling it!
Li Yuqing's mind has already swiped the screen: 6 6 6 6 6 6. . .
The eyes are also full of small tadpoles.
The streets are bustling with horse-drawn carriages, and it takes a long time for pedestrians to get from one side of the street to the other.
The shops on both sides of the street have their own characteristics, and the front of the door has also been decorated, so that the whole street is very comfortable.
Most of the shops are two or three floors, and there are many five or six floors, and each shop is crowded with people, which is enough to see that Kyoto's consumption power is extremely strong, Li Yuqing patted her chest secretly, fortunately, the standard of her membership card Fucheng is set very high, otherwise she would really lose her pants.
There are two city gates, one south and one north, and now they are entering the north gate, which is specially responsible for entering.
Li Yuqing found that these roads are very neatly planned, but there is no trace of rigidity, the roads and streets are dotted with different buildings and plants, and the arch bridge and river are properly designed.
The person who designed the construction of this Kyoto must have been an extremely good architectural planner.
The carriage and horses are all the way south, and the Lee Mansion is near the very center of Kyoto.
Kyoto's land is very regular, almost a square, and the area is very large, about five times larger than the second largest prefecture in Yan'an, and the central prefecture of Kyoto Prefecture is more than half of the entire area of the prefecture.
The imperial palace was built in the center of Kyoto, impartial, and now it has a history of more than 700 years, and the houses have been repaired, but none of them need to be expanded, which shows that the ancestors of the Zhai Dynasty built it very reasonably and did not need to change anything.
The rain of ancestors can benefit future generations.
His grandfather, Li Yan, was a high-ranking imperial court official, and he was a marquis, and his mansion was naturally in an excellent location, not far from the periphery of the palace.
The carriage traveled for more than an hour before someone came in and reported that it was almost there. Said that half an hour was coming.
Li Yuqing smiled bitterly, it took three hours from the city gate to the center of the city, you must know that the road in the capital is wide, almost only the carriage drives on it, the people take more trails, the carriage can go at full speed on the road, the horse of her convoy is the horse of the running merchant given by the godmother, the foot is fast and there is stamina, so walk for three hours, then the north and south back and forth is really half a day, it is really big!
Li Jinghe did not follow Li Yuqing to take a carriage, Li Yuqing sat in the second carriage in the convoy, the front one was used to open the road, and Li Jinghe sat on the back one after Li Yuqing.
Although Li Yuqing and Li Jinghe are brother and sister, they are not directly related by blood, Li Jinghe is not small, and Li Yuqing is also a girl, so she still has to avoid suspicion.
But Li Yuqing didn't have the slightest intention of letting her titular eldest brother sit in this carriage, she was still a domineering person, this was her convoy, Li Jinghe was only a guest, she naturally wouldn't let it.
I didn't feel embarrassed, but on the contrary, I sat very comfortably.
Li Yuqing boredly counted the gifts in front of her, this is for all the brothers and sisters in the house, grandfather and grandmother... The greeting gift.
Li Yuqing is not particularly valuable, most of them are some valuable but not uncommon things, she is still very deducted, reluctant to give real good things to a group of people who have not met in vain, if they feel good after getting along, she is willing to send some good things out.
She also prepared some practical things for her brothers and sisters, such as Shinkisai's membership card, some hard-to-buy question books...
The Li Mansion was busy early this morning, cleaning the entire mansion clean and beautiful, because the seventh girl was going back to the house.
It's not unusual for the seven girls to return home, but it's strange that the godmother of the seven girls is also coming to greet her!
What thunderous news!
"Report ——, Seventh Girl is still a quarter of an hour away!"
The crowd of people waiting in front of the door was in a commotion for a while, and then quickly calmed down.
Waiting to pick up people here are a group of ladies and young masters in the house, and the old men and masters of the family have gone to duty.
A dignified-looking woman meticulously combed her hair in a solemn bun and wore a purple cloisonné satin skirt, a trace of excitement flashed on her face, and the corners of her mouth that she didn't like to smile all year round opened open.
This is Li Yuqing's own grandmother - Li Yan's wife Zhou, Mrs. Zhou.
Aunt Meng on the side looked much younger, with a ruddy face, wearing a plum-colored golden chrysanthemum flower dress, with two girls around her, one is the eldest girl Li Yucheng, and the other is Aunt Xiao Meng's fourth girl Li Yujing.
Mrs. Meng stood at the front, with an extraordinary bearing, graceful and luxurious, which made people dare not look at her. She came here, and only said hello to the Qingyang County Lord, who was waiting to be irritable, and the rest ignored them.
It's not that no one came to look for her, the young ladies and sons in the house all came to say hello, Mrs. Meng responded coldly, and they all left with interest. Aunt Meng brought the two girls she raised to greet Mrs. Meng, thinking that she could make Mrs. Meng familiar with the big girl and the four girls, and it was best to take a fancy to the two of them, so the value of her two granddaughters would rise, and there would be no problem in finding a good husband at all.
Mrs. Meng didn't pay attention to Aunt Meng when she saw Aunt Meng coming over, and even took the eldest girl Li Yucheng and the fourth girl Li Yujing to eat and hang up, the two little girls looked a little unsightly, but Aunt Meng walked away like a nobody, and there was no trace of embarrassment when she was talking and laughing.
Mrs. Meng doesn't look down on Aunt Meng, she knew those things at a glance, she seduced her cousin when she was at the girl's house, and sacrificed her body, otherwise she wouldn't have led Li Yan to marry her in the end.
Aunt Meng's old grandmother said that her young lady had learned the skills of serving men in the Red Chamber every day in private, and had also done some shameful exercises.
Mrs. Meng admired her very much when she heard it, and there was no one who could do one thing to the extreme. But she doesn't like her either, she can't look down on such undisciplined and habitual people who use inferior means.
Jiang's face was thoughtful, she also hated Zhou Hui back then, robbed her husband, and occupied it for many years, and the hatred in her heart was very strong. And Zhou Hui is both talented and beautiful, and she was a famous woman in Kyoto when she was a girl, not only with stunning appearance, but also with excellent talent, and she is very famous in the noble circle in Kyoto.
Therefore, Zhou Hui gave his husband a concubine, and everyone didn't feel unworthy, but felt that it was a pity to be wronged by such a woman, and even the husband favored Zhou Hui, many people also felt that it was right, after all, Zhou Hui in the eyes of everyone, if there was no crime in the family, it was also possible to be a big family wife.
When the Jiang family participated in the banquets held in various mansions, she often received ridicule and ridicule, she hated, gritted her teeth with hatred, and used a lot of means, but she couldn't resist Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui is a woman, and she has been in charge of the family since she was a child, these inner house methods are as simple as eating and drinking water for her, and her husband protects her, and the maid named Zimo next to her is even more ruthless.
So when Zhou Hui and her husband were fried that year, she was extremely happy, and hoped that the more they were fried, but she didn't expect God to hear her thirst, and finally Zhou Hui was sent to a remote town a few days after giving birth.
She counted the days, one day, two days, a month, two months, half a year, and her husband's attitude did not change in the slightest.
At that moment, she knew that Zhou Hui really couldn't come back this time.
She laughed for a long time, but she also burst into tears, so what if she left?
