Chapter 50: Entering Beijing

On both sides of the canal, the scenery is beautiful, and the flowing water along the shore is hidden in the weeping willows, outlining a beautiful scenery.

In ancient times, Changzhou was surrounded by lakes, seas and rivers, and the waterway was the first choice for both travel in the city and for long trips.

If you want to go to the capital, you naturally still take the waterway. It's just that Father-in-law Liu seems to be in a hurry, and when Jian Ning went home to tidy up his things and take care of things, Father-in-law Liu sent another news: Enter Beijing by sea.

It was so urgent that Jian Ning felt resistant.

Liu Jin will be like this, because the Son of Heaven is curious. He is a big living person, and he is not an object, so he is used to please people, and it is inevitable that he is a little unhappy as a modern person.

But if you are unhappy, you can only endure it. The eunuch's eyes are like needles, and he offended Gonggong Liu, and he is not far from death.

The people in the family were willing to go to the capital with him, and Jian Ning was afraid that he would leave, and there would be no one to take care of these people, so he invited Biantou and handed him the key to the house, so that he could come over and clean up from time to time, and by the way, the matter of collecting rent at home was also entrusted to him.

With such trust, it is natural that the flat-headed couple will be moved. patted their chests and promised that they would definitely take care of Jian Ning's house. And Jian Ning was exempted from all their land rents by the way, which was regarded as a reward.

Recalling the busyness and unwillingness of the past few days, and then looking at the happy little father-in-law and a group of guards outside the cabin, Jian Ning sighed again.

I don't know what will happen when I go, and as for her life, she is not too worried. Although Zhengde said it was ridiculous, he had never killed a minister, and even if he was subjected to pulmonary bleeding by the ministers, he did not order the minister to be killed. It can be seen that this is a bear child, not bad.

Therefore, as long as he does not die, there is basically no danger to his life. The only thing she needs to worry about is whether Zhengde, a brain-dead brain, will take him into the harem on a whim.

I have every reason to be worried. It's not that she is self-inflicted, but that Zhengde in history is such a nonsensical person! He also snatched the pregnant woman with a big belly to the palace, and scared a group of ministers to cry in the temple, thinking that this guy wanted someone else's son to become the emperor.

So with such a convulsive emperor, it is normal for Jian Ning to be worried. Who knows if he will suddenly open his brain, and then order to enter the palace to write a book or something?

But soon Jian Ning was no longer worried. After getting on the big boat, the turbulence of the sea made these people who grew up in the water town quite uncomfortable, especially Jian Ning, who was weak and vomited dimly, several times, she felt that she was about to die, she couldn't eat anything, drank water and vomited, so she could only lie down.

The accompanying little father-in-law was very worried, and asked the accompanying doctor to check from time to time, if something went wrong with him, the godfather had to peel him off.

Fortunately, after two days of bumps, I slowly got used to it. On the third day, Jian Ning was helped out of the cabin by Zhang's mother, and the slightly salty and wet sea breeze poured into her nose, only to feel that the depression of the past few days was swept away, and the whole person was a lot more energetic.

She looked around, only to see the sea and blue sky in the distance, and the sea breeze gusted, dissipating the heat. Seabirds hover high and low, some landing on the sails, as if to give directions.

This time by sea, starting from the Songjiang estuary to the north, and finally arriving in Tianjin, and then taking the land route from Tianjin to the capital, it is indeed the fastest way to travel.

It's just that......

Thinking that life was worse than death in the first two days, Jian Ning still felt that it was better to take the land route. The seasickness was so uncomfortable!

Moreover, the ships of the Ming Dynasty are too small to sail on the sea. The land route is slow, but it's much safer. Thinking of this, not only did he hate Father-in-law Liu again. This Liu Jin is really as the history books say, he has no scruples, no matter who or what he is, they are all props for him to please the Son of Heaven.

Well, it's just a prop.

"Girl, it's windy outside, you're feeling better, so let's go back to the cabin."

Gonggong Wu was very considerate and careful, completely serving the future master, and said flatteringly: "The girl's body is now golden, and when you go back to the capital, you will have your hair!" ”

"Heh......"

Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "It is indeed a blessing in life to face the saint, and it is really a matter of glory to the ancestors that I can meet the Son of Heaven as a woman." ”

After that, he took out a few gold leaves and said: "Thank you father-in-law for taking care of me these days, Yun Shu is stupid, and if you are not familiar with life in the capital, you have to trouble your father-in-law." ”

"Oh, you're welcome, girl."

Gonggong Wu shouted politely in his mouth, but his hand was not polite, he took the gold leaf and put it away, and said with a smile: "The girl will be a noble person in the future, and it is a small honor to be able to do things for you." ”

After that, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Let's long live the first time Lord praised a woman." ”

"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, what kind of woman has you never seen? How can you praise a woman for the first time? ”

Jian Ning asked with some curiosity: "Besides, Your Majesty has never seen me yet, how can you praise me?" ”

"Your Majesty has read your book! Your Majesty has said that you can write that the Condor must be a strange woman, and that you must be good-looking! ”

The corners of Jian Ning's mouth twitched, is this YY?

Gonggong Wu looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is not interested in the ladies in the palace, if the girl can get into His Majesty's eyes, then this will be the case in the future!" ”

He gave a thumbs up and a "I'm optimistic about you" expression. Jian Ning shuddered, and suddenly remembered some information he had seen in his previous life, some studies showed that Zhengde's queen Empress Xia did not make a big gift with Zhengde until she died, and those harem concubines Zhengde moved out of the deep palace without even looking at it.

After going to the leopard room, he searched for folk beauties and prostitutes, and also ate and lived with many men, so some historians analyzed that Zhengde may be disabled or simply a comrade, and recruiting beauties is just a trick......

If that's the case......

Jian Ning's eyes deepened, and when Gonggong Wu saw that she didn't speak, he only thought that she was afraid, so he comforted: "The emperor is actually kind, as long as he follows his old man's wishes, he will not embarrass you." ”

Jian Ning came back to her senses and blessed her body refreshed, "Thank you father-in-law for your advice, I will never forget my father-in-law's kindness in the future." ”

Gonggong Wu was humble again and again, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped. Whether you can live a good life depends on whether you can be a person, and Gonggong Wu, who has been in the palace since he was a child, knows this well.

After a few more days, the wandering journey at sea finally came to an end. The moment she stepped on the land, Jian Ning felt a sense of unreality, and there seemed to be a sense of swaying under her feet.

It's finally here! I'm alive, not drowned in the sea! Jian Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of her heart at this moment.

Once she had steadied herself, she began to look around. The bustling city of Kyoto's satellite towns has not appeared, and it is noticeably monotonous and lonely everywhere you look.

In 1400, the second year of Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, crossed the Grand Canal to the south to fight for the throne to commemorate the battle of Jingyan, and then renamed this place Tianjin, that is, the meaning of the ferry where the Son of Heaven passed.

At this time, Tianjin served as a barrier to the capital division, where the Ming Dynasty set up a guard and built a city wall, however, in such a place, there was no local administrative body, and it was all under the jurisdiction of the military yamen such as the commander and the envoy.

Jian Ning sighed in his heart while listening to the introduction of the military attache who came to greet him. If the sea is opened, how can Tianjin be like this? When I think of the history of the future, I think of the mountains and rivers behind this prosperous era, and I feel related.

I don't know what came out of my heart: if it can be appreciated by the Son of Heaven, at least it is a good thing, right? With such a backer, if he writes about some overseas experiences and makes the Ming people aware of overseas gold mountains, maybe the life of the peasants will be much better? Or maybe China will catch up with the Age of Discovery?

The wheels were rolling, the bells were jingling, and Jian Ning, who was sitting in the car, looked at the outside world through the car window, full of thoughts.

Closer to Jingshi, prosperity is also increasing, a picture of the life of the Ming people in Kyoto opened in front of Jian Ning, which is completely different from the style of Jiangnan, and it is quite interesting to watch.

She had also been to Beijing in her previous life, and she had also been to Beijing's scenic spots. It's just that the city of Beijing in front of you is far from the Beijing in your memory. Without skyscrapers and neon brilliance, Beijing at this moment has a simple beauty in Jian Ning's eyes.

got off the carriage and followed Gonggong Wu through a door, only to hear Gonggong Wu say: "This yard was bought by my godfather for the girl to live temporarily." Although it is smaller, but it is also clean and elegant, these lotus flowers in the courtyard are moved from the imperial garden for the girl to see, these two aunts are old aunts in the palace, and they will teach you the rules of the face of the saint later......"

Jian Ning looked flattered, "Eunuch Liu is so troubled, and the people are sincerely afraid." ”

In these years, only powerful eunuchs can be called eunuchs, so it is very polite for Jian Ning to call him like this.

Gonggong Wu smiled and said: "We people are serving Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty appreciates you, then you are naturally a nobleman, and we must also serve you well, so as not to make Your Majesty unhappy." ”

Jian Ning nodded, and said to the two aunts: "In this way, there will be two aunts." ”

The two aunts were polite, "The girl is polite." From tomorrow, our sisters will teach you etiquette, and then I hope that the girl will have a lot of Haihan. ”

Jian Ning smiled and said, "There is Aunt Lao." After a pause, he said: "These days are tiring, all thanks to the adults, there are some gold leaves here, I hope you don't dislike it, take it to buy some ice drinks to relieve the heat." ”

Jian Ning waved her hand lightly as she spoke, and Mama Zhang hurriedly distributed the gold leaves. All kinds of people who won the reward thanked them, but they were not particularly excited. In the end, they are the people of the capital, and their visions are different.

Xiao Wu's father-in-law explained again, that is, he left a few guards and two aunts to leave.

When the people left, Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to speak when she saw her younger brother and sister give her a look, which frightened her and asked, "Sanniang, what are we going to eat at night?" ”

"Everything is ready."

The two aunts said: "Father-in-law Liu has thought of it, there is rice, flour and meat in the kitchen, please come with me." ”
