Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ancient Capital – The City of Beijing
In the afternoon and evening, the master and I simply packed our luggage, and we didn't bring much, three sets of clothes, pants and shoes, and the most important thing was the money in the bag.
We put our luggage in the living room, and they all lay down in their own rooms, and fell asleep deeply, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, and the thought of going to Beijing tomorrow to play, my heart was more restless than the stereo, and after a long sleep war, I finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, I got up in a daze in the sound of the master's door, because I slept a little late yesterday, so I still don't want to get up at all, but when I think of today's trip, I still got dressed, walked down the living room, the master sat on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee, and said without looking back: "The bread on the table, after eating, I set off, I haven't been to Beijing for a long time, and I miss it a little."
I walked straight to the table, picked up the bread and nibbled it, drank another glass of milk, wiped my mouth, I walked directly to the master, the master was stunned, turned his head to look at me and said, "Do you kid use to swallow, so fast."
I chewed bread in my mouth, hehe smiled, after the master drank the coffee, washed the cup, after a while we carried the luggage, we officially set off from home, went to Beijing, this time the master took me to take a plane, I was also the first time to take a plane, and a little excited, the master booked a ticket to Beijing the day before yesterday, we took a taxi to the airport, the time is still enough, after waiting at the airport for a while, we finally took the boarding pass on the plane, after almost three hours, we arrived at Beijing T2 Airport, As soon as I got off the plane, I felt the whole air was different.
After my master and I left the capital airport, we took a taxi, and as soon as the master got in the car, he said to the driver: "Go to the hotel".
The driver said yes enthusiastically, and then started the car and drove forward, on the way, the driver also chatted with us, saying: "You two are here to travel."
The master smiled, nodded and said, "Sort of, Beijing has been here many times."
The driver nodded, turned a corner and said, "That's not bad, after all, Beijing is the capital of a country, and it's good to go around more."
Then the master and the driver had a wordless chat, and I sat next to me, not interjecting much, my eyes kept staring at the scene that flashed outside.
The driver drove very fast, but the technology is very good, apparently he makes a living from sports cars, after a while, we got off at the hotel, the master paid, looked at the side, and said: "Boy, here is not far from the Forbidden City, go first to clean up, have a meal, and then take you to play."
I smiled and nodded, said hello, and walked in with my luggage, as soon as we walked in, we were stopped by a young security guard, who stretched out his hand and said to us: "Two gentlemen, I'm sorry, this is a top luxury hotel, please pay attention to your dress."
I was stunned, and the master was also stunned, we both lowered our heads synchronously, glanced at our clothes, and there was no problem, and then the master said to the security guard: "I used to come here, why didn't I ask for a dress."
"Well, I'm sorry sir, we also have a rule, at least a tie." The security guard continued.
The master was stunned for a moment and said, "Tie? I'm here to travel, why are you wearing so formal, and I made an appointment inside, the time is almost up, if you don't let me go, delayed, you are responsible"?
The master's attitude is not tough, after all, one yard is one yard, I don't know who the master is talking about, the security guard smiled awkwardly, and said to the master: "Sir, I'm really sorry, our regulations are like this, I can't help it, don't embarrass me"!
The master looked at him, nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then you can call your manager over for a while, and I'll just tell him, it's not easy for you young people to work hard outside, and I won't embarrass you."
When the security guard heard the master say that he wanted to call the manager over, he was even more reluctant, and said, "Sir, you are going to call the manager, this is not embarrassing me."
The master was stunned for a moment, stared at the security guard and said, "yes, you're still on a bar with me, okay, I'll make a call, you wait."
The security guard smiled embarrassedly, didn't speak, just stood in front of us, didn't let us go, and soon, the master connected the phone and said, "Hey, what do you mean, I'm at the door, and I don't say to pick it up"?
The master stopped, and after a while, he said, "Okay, hurry up, the security guard insisted that I wear a suit and tie, and I won't be allowed to enter if I don't wear it."
"Well, okay, hurry up".
After the master finished speaking, he hung up the phone, I looked at the master, this time in Beijing, the master directly changed the Chongqing dialect into the Beijing dialect, this change made me want to laugh, but I still held back, the security guard looked at us, a little embarrassed, and said to the master: "Sir, I didn't ask you to wear a suit, I mean, at least you have to wear a tie."
After the security guard finished speaking, a couple walked up behind us, and the master took a look, but saw that the couple was dressed casually and did not tie the tie as the security guard said.
"Hey, he's not wearing a tie, why can he pass". The master said directly.
The security guard glanced at the couple and said, "They're VIPs, they're different, sir, if you're..."
Before the security guard finished speaking, the master directly interrupted him and said: "Okay, okay, okay, don't tell you so much, wait for my friend to come, he will tell you, okay."
The master simply walked to the side and squatted down, the security guard just wanted to step forward to stop, but I heard a sound of footsteps and talking behind him, and said: "Boqing, you didn't call in advance when you arrived, I thought you were still at the airport."
I turned my head to look, and when the master saw him, he stood up directly, patted his clothes and said, "Hey, I'll talk about the rest later, you can help me solve this matter first."
The master pointed to the security guard, and then the man opened his mouth and said to the security guard: "Xiao Liu, you are busy with your go, you don't have to worry about it here."
The security guard was stunned for a moment, and said, "Manager Cao? Why are you here, this gentleman's dress code is not up to standard, I'm just doing things according to the rules."
Manager Cao kicked him, the security guard was speechless for a moment, and then he walked away, the master sighed and said: "Cao Wen, your words still work, no matter what I said just now, he didn't want to."
Manager Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Boqing, look at what you said, if you are willing, who dares to block your way, right?"
The master smiled, patted his arm, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, but you still know me as well as before."
Manager Cao smiled, then looked at me and said, "Who is this"?
"Oh, this is my apprentice, Lin Xuan, boy, this is the person in charge here, called Cao Wen." The master turned to me and explained.
Cao Wen suddenly realized, nodded and said: "That's what you said, your apprentice, it looks good, being able to follow Boqing means that you kid has something, come on!"
I smiled awkwardly, nodded, and then the master said, "Manager Cao, why didn't you say that you invited us to come in and sit, just stand here"?
Cao Wen was stunned for a moment, let out a long sigh, and said: "Oh~ Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, take a walk, the room and catering are arranged, I guarantee that you are satisfied."
The master smiled, nodded, and then we followed Cao Wen to take the elevator, to the most luxurious room, as soon as I entered, I was stunned, when I looked outside, I still felt that the space was very small, but as soon as I entered this room, it made me feel a little outrageous spacious, all kinds of carved ornaments, two very wide beds, and blankets all over the floor, and the rest was the same as I imagined, but this style, but it made people feel that the grade was instantly improved.
Cao Wen helped us put our luggage away, opened the curtains, and said, "What's the matter, it's good"!
The master nodded, walked to the window full of glass, and said, "This room is several times better than the one I had last time, not bad, boy, what do you think?"
I was wandering around, picking up a vase on the table from time to time to take a look, but I didn't hear the master's words, the master and Cao Wen were stunned, looked at each other and smiled, and then the master pointed to me and whispered: "This kid, the first time I came to Beijing, I am curious."
Cao Wen nodded, indicating that he understood, and then Cao Wen handed over the room card to the master, and said: "You guys are tired from the plane for so long, I specially prepared the dishes you like, I hope you haven't changed your taste."
The master heard the meaning from Cao Wen's mouth, and said tentatively: "Are you talking about Tan family cuisine"?
Cao Wen smiled and nodded, and the master clapped his hands directly and said, "Then dare to be kind, I'll just take this mouth."
"Haha, that's good, that's good". Cao Wen laughed and said.
"Then please ask them to send them to the room directly, these days, I run outside every day, and I don't want to move, you know."
The master opened his mouth and said, Cao Wen said a good word, and then said a few words, then turned around and went out of the door, after the master closed the door, came behind me, at this time, I was standing in front of a carved ornament, looked left, looked right, and then I felt that the back of my head was patted, I looked behind strangely, but saw the master standing behind me, and said: "You kid don't look like you haven't seen the world, you can look strong with this kind of thing, then go to the Forbidden City, what are you doing."
I touched the back of my head, smiled awkwardly, and sat directly on the bed, lying down like this, this bed, soft is soft, but it is not as comfortable as the one at home in Chongqing, but that's it, anyway, I'm here to travel, right, haha!!
