Chapter 5 Entering the Capital for the First Time

Li Luoyun and his entourage soon arrived at the feet of the Son of Heaven, on the way from Yingtianfu to the capital, Chaoping's illness gradually improved, and after arriving in the capital, he had returned to normal, and they first went to live in the house. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there is a mansion in the Li family in the capital, which was rewarded by the emperor to the ancestors of the Li family, and now this mansion is still prosperous, but Li Luoyun did not regard it as a marshal mansion, but hired some people to usually do it, but when the old general enters Beijing, he will live in it after all, is it his own home, in fact, Li Luoyun is not a luxury person, usually very diligent and thrifty, not greedy for money and not lustful, is a very simple and unpretentious person, and his wife is only one, but this mansion is not only handed down by the ancestors, so this honor must be well retained.

Li Chaoping came to the ancestral house in the capital for the first time, and entered this courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and listened to his grandfather talk about the origin of this house, so he was particularly interested in it, and thought that he should not only take a good turn in this courtyard, but also take a good turn in the capital.

Li Luoyun decided to take Chaoping into the palace to meet the emperor on the third day, and settled down in the past two days. The second **** Pinghe family general Zhang Tao went to walk around, there were jugglers on the street, there were performers, and there were many strange goods. Chaoping is a happy stroll, which is bitter for Zhang Tao, and it is easy to lose it if he is not careful. Chaoping entered a bookstore, which was full of all kinds of books, and the shopkeeper said what books the young master wanted, Chaoping said, "Just take a look." Chaoping has long disdained to read mediocre books, he flipped through "Tiangong Kaiwu" in the east and "Notes on the Water Classic" in the west, he was more interested in these miscellaneous books, because he read less. Later, he looked at the book "Book of Songs" and he had already memorized it backwards, but he was attracted by the wonderful rhetoric in it, and whenever he saw the Book of Songs, he had to look through it, and then the boss said: "Young master, what can you read by looking east and west, it is better to buy a copy and go back to read, these four books and five classics are all good things, maybe you can get a fame or something." Chaoping smiled and said: "National style, Wei Feng's first article is Ge Yan, entangled Ge Yan, you can walk on frost." Mixed with women's hands, you can sew clothes. If you want it, a good person will obey it. Good guy mentions. Without waiting for Chaoping to finish speaking, a little girl came in from outside the door and said, "It's like a left." Admire its elephant, Wei is a heart, is a thorn. The bookstore owner immediately said that both of them were good writers, and the young people were good, good, and then returned to the counter and stopped asking them if they bought books. Chaoping saw that this beautiful girl was about the same age as him, and it should be her maid next to her, but she was dressed as a martial artist, not like an ordinary maid and young lady. Chaoping politely asked the girl's name. "Childe, the little woman's name is Youlan, this is my maid Cui'er. After saying that, Chaoping and this young lady were familiar at first sight, they walked out of the bookstore and chatted, Youlan knew that Chaoping was the first time to the capital, so she took the initiative to take this Chaoping around, they are the same age, they are all fifteen years old, but Chaoping is slightly older. followed by the maid and Zhang Tao, between the two of them walked and chatted in front, sometimes chanting poems against each other, sometimes talking about the past and the present. Soon walked to the city gate tower, and saw a group of people around to read the notice, which said that a certain Jianghu man had made a mistake and was wanted by the government, Chaoping liked Jianghu affairs, so he felt very flat about these things, but Youlan looked very excited. After watching the excitement, Youlan said, "Brother Li, aren't you interested in these things, why didn't you come forward to see what happened." ”

Chaoping said that he has been particularly interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes since he was a child, so he will not be surprised by these things, he has an ambition, that is, one day he can travel to the rivers and lakes and make friends with the world's heroes, but it is a pity that he is not a person in the martial arts, and he will not have any martial arts. Speaking of this, Youlan's eyes have a better impression of this Brother Li, because she doesn't have such lofty and indulgent ambitions, because she feels that it is a great blessing for her father to let her leave the mansion and go around. Later, Li Chaoping told her about Liu'er again, and Youlan wanted to know this Liu'er sister after hearing it, and felt that she was a woman who loved poetry and books like herself.

Chaoping and Youlan walked and suddenly came out of nowhere a carriage came out, straight to the two of them, very dangerous, Cui'er was just about to stand up to protect her miss, only to see Zhang Tao jump up from behind and jump to the side of the carriage, grab the reins of the horse is to pull back, only to see that the horse did not go forward half a step forward and was dragged up, and then in the direction of Zhang Tao was dragged to the ground by Zhang Tao. Cui'er said: "This brother is good at martial arts. Zhang Tao replied with a kind word, and then fell silent, his heart was raised to his throat, if the reaction was slow, then Gongzi would be in danger, he was particularly loyal to Gongzi. Youlan didn't show any panic, Chaoping still asked about her condition, but she didn't know martial arts, and her psychological quality of Taishan collapsing in front of her and not changing her face made Chaoping very admired.

After Youlan thanked Zhang Tao for his rescue, the four of them continued to walk to the center of the capital, they passed by the palace in the center of the capital, passed through an alley, and saw a deep house compound appear in front of them, Li Chaoping thought that this must be the mansion of the prince and noble, then Youlan said: "Brother Li, Brother Zhang, I'm home, if there is a fate, we will meet again." After speaking, he entered the mansion with Cui'er with a hint of a smile. Li Chaoping looked up, and sure enough, it was the palace, with the three big characters "Jingwangfu" written on it. Chao Ping sighed, and went back to the post house with Zhang Tao. This Jing Wang Chaoping listened to his grandfather, and thought that he was also a man of the year who was both civil and military, but he was old and the world was peaceful, so there was not so much news about him, to put it bluntly, he lived a peaceful and stable life, and there were not so many legendary stories back then.

In the post house, the moonlight shined through the window of Chaoping's room and hit the ground, Chaoping couldn't help but think of a lot of things when he saw it, the moonlight could remember nostalgia the most, he was wondering if Liu'er would miss him, and now she was doing well, and then thought of going to see the emperor the next morning, whether he would be nervous, whether he would be incoherent, although he was full of poetry and books, he usually showed a very calm attitude, just like Youlan, but after all, he was going to see the Son of Heaven, and he would not make a fool of himself in front of the most authoritative person. Thinking of this, he thought of a lot of pictures, what it was like inside the palace, what details to pay attention to when eating, and what details to pay attention to when talking. He thought about a lot of things, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Li Chaoping woke up very early, and his grandfather packed up and prepared to see the Son of Heaven, they came to the palace, walked through the layers of palace gates to the outside of the hall and waited for the summons, during this time Li Chaoping carefully looked at the inner courtyard of the palace, and thought: This is the palace, it is really magnificent.
