Chapter 60 Arrival in Beijing
Three consecutive days of rush finally arrived in the capital on the evening of the third day.
When Xiang Zixi drove the carriage through the long gate and stood on the bustling and wide street, Xiang Zixi finally understood what prosperity is and what the imperial capital is.
I remember that when I looked at the river map during the Qingming Festival when I was a child, I felt it was quite exaggerated. How could an ancient city be so lively?
In fact, everything in front of us is far more lively than the river garden during the Qingming Festival!
The crowd rubbed their shoulders one after another, bustling, and everyone's faces were full of satisfaction. It turns out that this is the landscape of peace and prosperity!
What are you looking at? Is your expression so serious?" Jin Haoxuan gently took the reins in her hand and said with a smile, "I happen to have a small house in the capital. If you don't mind, go and live with me!" Although the place is not big, the environment is still quiet!"
"Oh, my God! This is so great!" Xiang Zixi was ecstatic: "We can finally save a large amount of accommodation!"
Ah?——--She only thought of this?
Jin Haoxuan shook the reins, drove the carriage through the south gate, and galloped all the way to the west.
Xiang Zixi can't sit still. This capital is really too prosperous! With so much passenger flow, if you do the business here, then you will really make a fortune! OK, let's start with potatoes and open the market in the capital with potatoes and women's underwear!
Xin Zeyang also lay on the carriage and looked out, looking at it and exclaimed: "So this is the capital! It's really prosperous! Compared with the capital, Wu County is nothing!"
"Because the capital is a political, cultural, military and economic center, it has naturally become the most prosperous existence!" Xiang Zixi looked out and praised, "If you look at a country, you can see the whole picture of a capital. If the capital is prosperous enough, then it can explain a few things. First, the people are rich and the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Second, there are no internal and external troubles, and the weather is smooth. Third, those in the position are wise and courageous, vigorous and vigorous.
"But how can this be seen?" Xin Zeyang looked at Xiang Zixi puzzledly
gently explained to Zixi: "Because if the people are not rich enough and there are too many people, there will be beggars and vagrants on the street. If it is a disaster year, the purchasing power of these pedestrians on the street will be seen and the business will be depressed. However, we have not encountered a fight or dispute on the street along the way, which shows that the officials in charge of the capital are still diligent and conscientious.
Xiang Zixi's voice was not very high, and he also lowered his voice when explaining to Xin Zeyang, but a pedestrian who passed the carriage still glanced back at Zixi intentionally or unintentionally, and the surprise in his eyes was so obvious.
"So you are not such a stupid woman!" Xin Zeyang hugged his arm, suddenly lowered his hat and went to enjoy the scenery by himself.
Originally, Xiang Zixi was still interested and was blocked by Xin Zeyang. He almost recovered. He squeezed Xin Zeyang's nose fiercely and said viciously, "Ah, ah, ah, why are you always so poisonous and like to play with belly black!"
"Violence woman!" Xin Zeyang shouted, "You like violence so much. Let's see which man dares to marry you!" Don't blame me for not reminding you when you can't get married in the future!"
"If I can't get married, I won't get married! I follow your ass every day so that you can't marry a wife!" Xiang Zixi's mouth was crooked, and Xin Zeyang was held in front of his chest with one arm, which made Xin Zeyang blush again.
Jin Haoxuan looked at the two people fighting with a smile and couldn't help saying, "Well, stop it. Look, everyone else is looking at you!"
Xiang Zixi laughed, let go of Xin Zeyang, clenched his fist, and said loudly, "I will definitely make a difference!"
The carriage walked all the way and soon arrived at the door of an extremely ordinary house.
Jin Haoxuan was the first to jump out of the carriage, helped Xiang Zixi get off the carriage and said, "The environment here is quiet. Sometimes I come here to stay for a few days when I'm free!" The place is not very big, only seven or eight houses.
"It's enough!" Xiang Zixi jumped off the carriage and went inside and outside for a walk.
This house is indeed not big. There are only seven houses, one large partial house, and other places have been opened into vegetable gardens and gardens, so the open space has been effectively used and does not feel empty.
"Is there no one cleaning here?" Xin Zeyang complained, "We can't afford to be exhausted, and we have to start cleaning!"
"It doesn't matter. There are people here who clean it regularly. You see, there are also people who water the flowers here on time!" Xiang Zixi's eyes pointed to a cluster of flowers on the ground and said, "Look, how brilliant this spring flowers are. Obviously, they have been built!"
"Come on, let's unload the things first!" Jin Haoxuan smiled gently: "But because there has been no one here for a long time, I don't think there are many things that can be used. But it doesn't matter. There will be a night market nearby. Let's buy something. Anyway, we will stay here for a month! You have to add something!"
"Great! I like to go to the night market the most!" Xiang Zixi said with a smile, "You bring things in and I'll prepare dinner."
"Women who can spend money can't get married!" Xin Zeyang made a grimace towards Zixi while carrying potatoes.
"Alle! When you get married, I will definitely tell her that you are not willing to spend money on her!" Xiang Zixi also made a grimace for Xin Zeyang and turned away.
"Brother Jin, do you dare to want such a woman? You are so brave!" Xin Zeyang curled his lips and then said, "So you have to work hard to make money! She is so good at spending money that she will definitely not be used to living too stressful days in the future!"
"So are you caring about her?" Jin Haoxuan smiled gently. As long as she wants to buy something, she can buy whatever she wants, as long as she is happy! However, I'm afraid that she doesn't know what else is missing at that time.
"Hmm! That's not it!" Xin Zeyang always had such a different heart. He turned his head and continued to carry things.
At dinner time, Xiang Zixi came out with a plate of shredded potatoes and one night of beef stewed potatoes, and said with a smile, "Let you taste the potatoes we grow first!"
The two men opened their eyes in an instant: "Can this really eat?"
"Of course! And it's delicious!" Xiang Zixi said with a funny face. By the way, he used the chopsticks he hadn't eaten before, put some food in the bowl of the two people and looked at them full of encouragement: "Try it!"
Jin Haoxuan and Xin Zeyang hesitated for a moment, picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a piece of potato and stuffed it into their mouth. After slowly chewing, their eyes suddenly lit up!
"Wow! It really tastes good!" After all, Xin Zeyang had a child's temper. He grabbed his chopsticks and did not hesitate any more. He ate it and said while eating, "It's really delicious! It's really strange. Why is one of the same food crispy and the other soft?
"Of course, the processing method is different, and the natural taste is different!" Xiang Zixi said with a satisfied face.
Jin Haoxuan also tasted it slowly and nodded while eating: "Xianxiang, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good!"
"No! Because there was nothing to eat at that time, so I could only eat this, so this is the best way to make it!" Xiang Zixi answered without thinking about it.
Jin Haoxuan and Xin Zeyang looked at Zixi in surprise at the same time: "Isn't this thing just cultivated by us? Have you eaten it before?
Xiang Zixi then reacted: "Well, well, how is that possible! I also saw it from an ancient book and remembered it in my heart. The book describes how to eat and taste this kind of potato! Ah ha ha ha, that's what it looks like! Ah ha ha ha——————”
"You! It's really weird!" Jin Haoxuan couldn't help laughing: "After dinner, we will go to the night market. If there is anything you want, just buy it. Don't worry about the money!"
Xiang Zixi said to Xin Zeyang, "Do you hear me? This is the real man! You, take your time to learn! Ah!"
Xin Zeyang paid no attention to Zixi and just buried himself in eating.
By the way, today's dinner is really delicious!
Wait for three people to eat a round stomach, and they can't go out for a walk, because they really eat too much and can't digest it!
The three people strolled around the night market like this, some selling antiques, some selling their own fabrics, some selling vegetables, and some selling gadgets. From time to time, children are running around the street, surrounded by old men selling sugar-coated haws. There are also some pure people who come out to play, holding fragmented gadgets in their hands.
Suddenly, Jin Haoxuan gently pulled Xiang Zixi and said slightly awkwardly, "Xiang Xiang, I have a gift to give you!"
Xin Zeyang turned his body knowingly, but his mouth did not stop at all: "After three days of hesitation, he finally summoned up the courage to send it out!"
Xiang Zixi looked at Jin Haoxuan in surprise: "What is it! It still makes you hesitate for so long!"
A cloud appeared on Jin Haoxuan's face, and he took out a very simple and generous jade hairpin from his arms and slowly inserted it into the facing temples.
Xiang Zixi stood there in surprise. She never thought that Jin Haoxuan would give herself jewelry!
She was about to reach out and take it down, but was suddenly stopped by Jin Haoxuan: "It's not a particularly valuable thing. When I went out that day, I happened to meet her and felt that she looked very suitable for you. So————”
"No! Stupid woman! This jade hairpin is worth 100 taels of gold!" Although Xin Zeyang turned his back to Jin Haoxuan, he still said to himself, "I saw the price that day! It's so expensive! It is said to be the treasure of the store! Haha, you are so lucky!"
Xiang Zixi was moved and gently held Jin Haoxuan's hand, which was happy and sweet.
Xin Zeyang also smiled gently. Although he turned his back to the two people, he still showed a blessing.
"Is this a gift you have wanted to give me for a long time?" Xiang Zixi is very concerned about this problem. If he does, it proves that he is definitely not in love!
Sure enough, Jin Haoxuan nodded with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid you don't like it, or dislike it's a little shabby————"
Xiang Zixi suddenly covered his mouth and said softly, "I like it very much, I like it very much! Thank you! Haoxuan! This is the happiest gift I have ever received!"
"Ah, the moon is so round today!" Xin Zeyang looked up at the bright moon and said unintentionally, "I said, can we continue to move forward?"
Xiang Zixi suddenly felt very happy. She had a lover who was close to her heart and a brother with a poisonous mouth but a good heart. This kind of life is probably the life you want most, right?
