Chapter 122 Jingshi Tiandu

It took Lv Xianger and his party half a month to travel north and finally arrived in Beijing, and the weather became cooler and cooler. However, Lv Xianger, who was sitting in Huo Qingsong's modified carriage, was not interested in enjoying any scenery.

You can imagine that anyone who has been in a carriage for so long will be bored. What's more, Lv Xianger is still an active person. Therefore, her undisguised mood was naturally seen by Huo Qingsong, Lv Hong and Chaoxia, and the three of them also made Lv Xianger more comfortable.

Well, it was noon, and Huo Qingsong stopped to rest again. Although there is no village in the front or the store in the back, everyone is used to living and eating in the wild all the way. As soon as the carriage stopped, Huo Qingsong's more than a dozen generals, under the command of Huo Bao, made a fire and hunted. In less than half an hour, the bonfire was set up with game and dry food.

Looking at Lv Hong skillfully roasting wild animals, Lv Xianger raised some spirit. Chaoxia put a hot steamed bun in Lv Xianger's hand and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Xiang'er, cheer up. Before dark, we can get to Beijing.

"Really, are you finally going to Beijing?" Hearing Chaoxia's words, Lv Xianger's eyes immediately glowed and looked at Lv Hong.

Lv Hong, who is smiling more and more, seems to be forgetting Qingya. He shook his head and smiled and said, "Xiang'er, don't look at your brother. My brother has never been to Beijing. I don't know when he will arrive.

"It's true." Lv Xianger understood that what Lv Hong said was not bad, so she looked at Chaoxia and said, "Sister Chaoxia, it's almost time to the capital. You'd better talk about the capital first and let Xiang'er know."

"Okay. Anyway, it's all right now." Chaoxia originally wanted Huo Qingsong, a person who was born and grew up in Beijing. But thinking that Lv Xianger will finally not face Huo Qingsong's abnormal behavior now, she doesn't want to confuse Lv Xianger anymore. Although Chaoxia has never been to the capital several times, she has heard a lot of things when she wandered around with her adoptive father. After sorting out those heard, Chaoxia told Lv Xianger the capital of Beijing as she told a story.

There is an old saying: Beijing is big. Teachers, everyone. The capital is the residence of the emperor. Therefore, in most cases, the capital refers to the capital where the emperor lives, but it is not the name of the capital. And the capital of the Zhou Dynasty is called Tiandu. Tiandu means the capital of the emperor. It has gone through three generations in the Zhou Dynasty, but today's emperor is the fourth generation. Several dynasties before the Zhou Dynasty also designated this place as the capital, so the heavenly capital can be said to be the thousand-year-old imperial capital.

Tiandu is composed of Gongcheng, Huangcheng and Waiguocheng. The palace and the emperor are in the south of the heavenly capital, and the north of the heavenly capital is naturally the inner square where ordinary people live. The north of the city is divided into the east city and the west city. The west city is populated with more people and fewer markets. Dongcheng can be said to be the business district of Tiandu, which is much more prosperous than Xicheng.

On both sides of the palace and the imperial city, there are aristocratic mansions. The Duke of Song and General Huo are in the east of the palace, and they are only two streets apart. Both mansions were specially built by Emperor Taizong and given to the Song family and the Huo family. It can be seen how favored the Song family and the Huo family were in those years.

For what Chaoxia has said so much, Lv Xianger is particularly willing to listen to the east and west cities of Tiandu. Hearing that Dongshi was a commercial area, focusing on the merchants of the states around the Zhou Dynasty, Lv Xianger's eyes were not quiet for a moment.

Seeing Lv Xianger's expression, Chaoxia couldn't help saying, "Xiang'er, you don't want to open another restaurant in Beijing, do you?"

"Yes, I'm just thinking about what the sky is like." Lv Xianger hasn't made a decision yet, so naturally she doesn't want to show it out first. Chaoxia and Lu Xianger have been together for so long that they know her thoughts very well. Seeing that Lv Xianger didn't tell the truth, Chaoxia gave her a white look, but she stopped asking.

When the sun was setting in the west and Lv Xianger was a little bored, Huo Bao, who was driving for Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, suddenly shouted excitedly, "Mrs. Lv, Mrs. Chaoxia, look, the capital is in front."

"Real?" Lv Xianger stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain, and saw a majestic ancient city in the distance, bathed in the afterglow of the sunset.

Looking at the appearance of Tiandu, Lv Xianger just felt that the sky was bigger than Jiangling Mansion, and the wall was higher than that of Jiangling Mansion. Perhaps after listening to Chaoxia's previous introduction, looking at Tiandu from afar, Lv Xianger felt that it was worthy of being the capital of all dynasties. That heavy feeling all shows the solemnity and solemnity of Tiandu.

About to enter the capital, Lv Xianger suddenly thought of where they were going to settle down. Thinking of this, she immediately put down the curtain and asked Chaoxia, "Sister Chaoxia, when my mother wrote, she never said where she lived. Does she live in the Duke's Mansion?"

"When I came out of Beijing, my adoptive mother temporarily lived in the Duke's Mansion." Chaoxia recalled Lv Erniang's reluctant appearance and said uncertainly, "However, I'm afraid my adoptive mother will not live in the Duke's Mansion now. After all, the Duke's injury has been cured soon."

"Then when we enter the capital, where are we going to find your mother? I won't go to the national palace first. It will be dark soon. Lv Xianger looked at the sky. She really didn't want to go to the State Mansion so late.

Thinking of this, Lv Xianger opened the curtain again and said to Huo Bao, "Huo Bao, has your general been in contact with the government recently?"

Huo Bao was slightly stunned, and then turned around and said embarrassedly, "Mrs. Lv, you'd better ask my general about these things. I'm just a follower who doesn't know these things."

"You are so loyal." Lv Xianger curled her lips and put down the curtain, but Huo Bao wiped the sweat on his forehead that did not exist. But without waiting for him to put down his hand, Lv Xianger raised his voice again: "Stop--"

Huo Bao just heard what Lv Xianger and Chaoxia said, and also knew that Huo Qingsong's letter to the State Office had not been interrupted. But he also understood Huo Qingsong's intentions along the way. He didn't dare to say anything more about everything about Lv Xianger. Therefore, Huo Bao parked the car obediently and asked Lv Xianger to ask Huo Qingsong in person.

Huo Qingsong and Lv Hong, who were sitting in a carriage in the back, were a little strange to see Lv Xianger suddenly jump out of the car. When Lv Xianger finished speaking, Lv Hong also thought that Lv Erniang could not live in the Duke's Mansion all the time. At this time, he didn't know where Lu Erniang was. Where can he find her when he entered the capital? Thinking about it, Lv Hong also looked at Huo Qingsong like Lv Xianger.

Huo Qingsong didn't expect Lv Xianger to think of this at this time, so he said, "A few days ago, my uncle and I wrote a letter, and Mrs. Lv is indeed not in the Duke's Mansion now. And you must be anxious. Yesterday, I sent a message to my uncle and told him that we would go to Beijing today. I think Lady Lu is already waiting for you at the gate at this time.

"Really? Does my mother know that we are going to Beijing today? Lv Xianger looked at Huo Qingsong doubtfully, but she thought about it all the way, and she didn't see Huo Qingsong send a letter.

Huo Qingsong obviously didn't like Lv Xianger's belief. His face was a little rigid and he said in a low voice, "You will know when you get to the gate in a moment." After saying this, Huo Qingsong said nothing more. After Lu Xianger returned to her carriage, she kept talking about something. Although Chaoxia couldn't hear clearly, she was sure that what Lv Xianger said was not a good thing.

Lv Hong saw that Huo Qingsong might be angry and quickly said, "Brother Huo, Xianger doesn't know anything and is asking nonsense. Don't let her be angry. She is still young."

"Brother Hong's words are serious. I'm not angry with Lv Xiaoniang." Huo Qingsong nodded to Lv Hong and explained, "It's just that you need to pay more attention to the hidden dragons and tigers in the capital. It's better not to get to the bottom of something when you meet some people.

"What Brother Huo said, Hong Ge'er wrote it down." Lv Hong looked at him and nodded to Huo Qingsong. Thinking that the emperor is either a dignitary or a relative of the emperor, ordinary people like him should pay more attention to Huo Qingsong, so as not to offend people.

Lv Xianger and Chaoxia don't know. Huo Qingsong is pointing out what Lv Hong should pay attention to in Beijing, but thinking about Lv Erniang. After all, Lv Xianger hasn't seen Lv Erniang for half a year. This is also the first time that Lv Xianger has been separated from Lv Erniang for such a long time since she came to Jiangbei. Lv Erniang exists like her own mother in Lv Xianger's heart. I haven't seen her for so long, and it can be said that Lv Xianger misses her very much.

In fact, when Lv Xianger was abhorted, she was also very scared. At that time, Lv Xianger thought most about Lv Erniang and Lv Hong, as well as Chaoxia. Therefore, when Lv Hong mentioned that he was going to come to Beijing, Lv Xianger agreed without thinking about it. However, after being separated for so long, I don't know what kind of situation Lv Erniang is now. Lv Xianger thought that the carriage was getting closer and closer to the gate of Beijing.

After a while, Lv Xianger felt that the speed of the carriage was slowing down and she was surprised, so she opened the corner of the curtain and looked out. Only then did she find that the gate was close in front of her, but there was a long queue at the gate. A group of people went into the city, and a group of people went out of the city. Looking at these two long teams of people, you will know how prosperous the capital is.

When she was admiring the various people in front of her, Lv Xianger suddenly found that a carriage and several fast horses suddenly ran out of the gate. It seems that there are several fast horses guarding the carriage. The carriage rolled up the dust, and the people in front of them looked back from time to time, making the stable team appear some small **.

"This is the family of that high-ranking official. It's so arrogant." Lv Xianger was curious and couldn't help but make a sound. Chaoxia, who was sitting honestly, couldn't help looking out of the window when she heard Lu Xianger's words. Chaoxia, who has strong martial arts skills, looks farther than ordinary people.

So, Lv Xianger didn't see it clearly, but Chaoxia saw a horse next to the carriage and an acquaintance sitting. Seeing this acquaintance, Chaoxia immediately understood who would be in the carriage. Thinking of this, Chaoxia whispered excitedly, "Xiang'er, it's Mr. Song..."
