Chapter Forty-Nine: The Most Prosperous Capital
It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the long-term prosperity of the country and the people has created its unprecedented prosperity.
The greatest manifestation of this prosperity is its capital.
The tall city, the caravan shoulder to shoulder, the merchants in silk and satin, the women in gold and silver, and the fireworks in the sky above the city.
There are thousands of cities in the four hundred state capitals in the world, which is unique.
The people and chariots and horses came in and out, there were well-dressed guards, but there were no cards to check, and Daxia had a broad mind and all the countries came to the court.
The fifth middle school followed the crowd through the city gate, skillfully walked through the streets and alleys and stopped in front of a house, on which hung the simple and quaint Li Zhai.
This is Li Bongan's private residence in the capital.
The house looks inconspicuous, but it is not easy to live in the capital, and it can cost a lot to buy one in this location.
Li Feng'an didn't live in this house a few times before his death, but he was always clean and tidy, and he was very popular, so that even if Li Feng'an suddenly pushed the door open without any news in advance, he could sit down and drink a sip of hot tea as if he was in Jiannan Road, lie on the fluffy and soft bed, and fall asleep peacefully smelling the usual incense.
The layout here is exactly the same as the Governor's Mansion of Jiannan Province, but it is a few sizes smaller.
Form 5 stood in the hall, carrying a pot of tea, and drank it without any image.
"Form 5!" Someone came in and shouted.
Zhongwu almost choked: "Zhonghou, what the hell are you shouting." ”
The man who came in looked very loyal, holding up a letter in his hand: "This is more scary than seeing a ghost, this is the order of the Yuan Ye?" Is Yuan Ye crazy? ”
Zhong Wu understood his mood very well, because when Yuan Ji commanded, he also had the same thoughts, but he didn't shout out.
"This is the order of the eldest lady." He put down the teapot.
Zhonghou swallowed the words back, he couldn't help but not say that the eldest lady was crazy, and the hellish expression turned into worry: "Is the eldest lady okay?" ”
What's going on? The eldest lady actually wants to bow her head to Liang Zhen and plead? That's the old thing that sent the word "happy to the funeral of the Grand Governor"!
Zhong Wu waved his hand indifferently: "The eldest lady is very good, the affairs of the family are well arranged, don't you shout at the beginning first, and then look, does the eldest lady let us bow our heads?" ”
Zhonghou took a deep breath and sat down to read the letter before exhaling a breath, and only ordered to let Liang Zhen hand over the letter from the eldest lady, and there was no need to do anything else.
"The old thing's porter can hit up to ten, and we can get in with five people." He rubbed his big hands together and was eager to try.
Since he just sent the letter to Liang Zhen, it was the same as asking to go in and punching in, as long as he went in.
Of course they chose to go in.
"I've seen them unpleasant, do you know what that old thing did? Melted the golden coffin we gave him and beat it into gold leaves, holding flowers, it's shameless. Zhonghou snorted.
Zhong Wu touched his chin and thought about it: "You have to fight skillfully, don't rush the old thing, and tear up the young lady's letter without reading it." ”
This kind of thing is not within the scope of his consideration, and Zhonghou touched his head: "I'll call everyone here, and everyone will discuss." ”
The people in the capital are full of things, and the new things are overwhelming one after another, and the new things have become not new.
There was a rare commotion on the bustling street, and countless people poured in one direction.
Those who knew what was going on and those who didn't know what was going on hurried along, but the crowd was driven to both sides like chickens and ducks.
"What is it?" Those who were huddled in the back looked on tiptoe and saw five teams of men and horses crossing across the wide street.
These people are dressed in colorful costumes, riding tall horses, the men in front of them are heroic, and there are women riding horses in the procession, wearing Luo skirts with a power fence, the power fence tulle is not to cover the face, but to make the face looming more beautiful, as they walk, the street is dazzling with golden light, and when they walk, countless people cheered and threw themselves to the ground.
There were pearl pendants scattered on the ground, and I don't know if they were decorations that fell from horses or people.
"Can I grab it?" The newcomer bit his fingers in fright, "People will come looking for them." ”
It's a valuable piece of jewelry.
"How could the people of the Luo family pick up things that fell on the ground." The people of the capital are high up to appease the countrymen.
Hearing the four words of the Luo family, the countrymen exclaimed: "Concubine Luo?" ”
Now the most prosperous scenery of the Great Xia Dynasty is the Luo family, the Luo family is beautiful and plump, good at singing and dancing, and is favored alone, ranking as a noble concubine, and her sisters and brothers are also high-ranking officials by the lady of the country, entering and leaving the palace, and the princess must avoid three points when she sees it.
"The emperor has taken the concubine out of the palace again, and the Luo family will accompany him."
"The emperor has been in the palace for more than half of this year, is he still in the court?"
"There's Prime Minister Choi here."
"Is it still a summer escape when it's cold?"
"It's not the summer, it's the parrot of the concubine Niangniang who died, the concubine Niangniang was sad, in order to avoid seeing things and thinking about birds, the emperor took her to the palace to relax."
Passers-by skillfully talked about the royal court, and the countrymen were fascinated by it, and the noise on the street here was not dispersed, and there was a bustle in the distance.
"There's a fight!"
"The bandits broke down the house and robbed the door!"
Fights are not unusual, bandits robbing is unprecedented, the four gates of the Great Xia Imperial City are open to the world, but it is not that there are no soldiers to maintain order, how can bandits loot wantonly?
The people who watched the excitement were not afraid of the bandits at all, and they flocked to see the excitement one after another, and when they came to a place, the officers and soldiers had already maintained order.
What was maintained was that the spectators were not allowed to come forward, and the fighting in front of the door continued, and the officers and soldiers did not dissuade them at all.
"I can't manage it, I can't manage it." All of them shook their heads, "Personal grievances, for more than ten years, the emperor can't manage it." ”
What personal grudges can't be managed by the emperor?
"This is the Liang Lao Du Governor's family, so these people are from Jiannan Dao? Didn't you fight once? Fight again this time? ”
"Last time, Jiannan Dao came to the door and said that the old Governor of Liang gave Governor Li Governor a happy word for the funeral."
"And why this time?"
There are no secrets in the capital, and there is a quick explanation among the onlookers, watching the dozens of people in front of the door go in and out and go in and out.
After another fight, a big man in disheveled clothes wiped his nosebleed and stretched out his hand to point at the swollen opponent in front of him.
"Old thing, you just read our lady's reply! Our lady knows the most etiquette, you sent a funeral, and our lady replied to you with a letter of thanks! ”
Although the opponent had a blue nose and swollen eyes, his momentum did not show weakness, and he let out a quackling laugh: "Do you only write a letter without a gift?" Where does this understand the number of etiquette. ”
The attendant who stretched out his hand laughed: "Send the gold again, the masters are thinking about you when they run out." ”
"Grandson, I want Grandpa to love you well."
You come and go to my grandfather and your grandson and scold each other, and the people who maintain order here will nod: "It's almost." Then with a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers who had just arrived and stepped forward to disperse.
The two sides reluctantly shouted and scolded each other and dispersed.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is enough to stop, everyone understands this truth, you gave me face, and I have to give you face.
"Phew, grandson."
"Haha, it's a pleasure."
"I didn't fight last time, but this time I did my best."
Zhonghou crossed his waist and laughed and led the brothers to swagger, the officers and soldiers gave way, and the onlookers also gave way, and a black wall blocked the way.
Form 5 stopped and looked at the wall vigilantly.
It was a human wall, and there were fourteen or fifteen men, and although the people retreated to both sides, the street was not wide, and the pedestrian stood still and blocked the road.
They wore wide hats, black coarse cloth shirts, and baskets on their backs, and they had a strange smell on their bodies, like cattle and sheep and like green grass, were they merchants selling livestock or farmers plowing the fields and grass?
"You guys, the people of Jiannan Dao Li Feng'an?" The man in the lead asked.
His voice was jumpy and curious, like a rustic countryman who had just entered the city.
The fifth in the middle instantly stood up with his hairs.
He looked up and saw a pair of deep, quiet eyes under his hat, and a pale face.
"You, Zhenwu Army?" Zhong Wu blurted out in a low voice, and he didn't even react to how to draw an inference.
Maybe it was the hostility of this pale-faced man, or maybe he finally recognized the bloody smell of these men's grass, cattle and sheep, and their appearance in front of Liang Zhen's door.
