Chapter one hundred and seventy-four first arrived in the capital
Chapter 174: First arrival in the capital
Two days later, Chai Yan and Yuan successfully arrived outside Huaidu, the capital.
After getting off the bus, Chai Yan’s first intuitive feeling was that there were so many people, so many!
The city gate in front of us is called "Yong'an Gate". The height of the gate opening and the width of the road into the city far exceed those of Huzhou City, and the flow of people is more than ten times greater.
"Not bad!" Chai Yan said, looking at the city wall of Chongyong with hundreds of pheasants.
"Not bad? Haha..." The kite next to him laughed after hearing this.
To understand this from the perspective of an owl, Chai Yan is deliberately pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!
Yuan pointed at the city gate and said, "Yong'an Gate is the tallest and largest city gate in Huaidu. You actually only think it's good?"
"Uh... Let me say it again, it's spectacular, very spectacular!"
Chai Yan is not a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. The city walls and gates of this level and scale in front of him are still slightly inferior to some of the historical sites he visited before crossing.
Yuan didn't bother to say anything anymore and walked towards Yong'an Gate.
After passing through Yong'an Gate and walking for a while, the two of them crossed an arch bridge. When they reached the highest point of the arch bridge, Chai Yan suddenly stopped. He was shocked by the bustling scene in front of him...
.
Chai Yan was filled with emotions. The busy streets, the noisy market, and the various vendors and shops were like a real-life version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"!
"What are you looking at? Let's go..."
Yuan who was walking in front saw Chai Yan stopped and turned around to urge him.
Chai Yan smiled, started up again and followed the Yuan, and said: "As expected of the capital of my country, Dasheng, you have so much experience!"
Yuanyuan smiled secretly in his heart and said: "There will be plenty of time for you to gain experience in the future. Let's go, go to Wude Division first."
With that said, Yuan got off the arch bridge and merged into the street where people were passing by.
Chai Yan walked in the market, looking around curiously from time to time. Along the way he saw a variety of businesses, including meat shops and fish stalls, restaurants and rice shops, as well as melon and fruit vendors, tea stalls and medicine shops, as well as garment shops and silk and satin shops.
, Gu embroidery shop and needlework shop.
In addition, there are leather, tie-making, drum music, jewelry, jade, bookstores, study rooms, etc.......
In short, there are everything you need from all walks of life, which makes Chai Yan dazzled and full of fun.
Chai Yan sometimes walked and sometimes stopped, sometimes asking questions, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Yuan Yuan was able to move with his words at first, but then the two of them passed by a performing arts venue, and Chai Yan couldn't move his legs at all. One moment, he performed a chest-breaking performance, and the other moment he thrust a steel gun into his throat. Chai Yan watched.
It was a relish and the applause was endless.
Shangguan Peining yawned in disinterest and asked curiously: "What's so interesting about this? It's all useless flowers!"
Chai Yan didn't take it seriously and said happily: "There are some things you don't understand! I saw these stunts on TV when I was a child. Today I finally have the opportunity to observe them up close. Hahaha, it's interesting!"
Yuanyuan patiently watched three programs with Chai Yan, but Chai Yan still had no intention of leaving. She really couldn't bear it and immediately pulled Chai Yan away from the crowd.
"Wait, wait, I can't just leave..."
Chai Yan immediately broke free from Yuan's hand.
"How long has it been, and you still have the heart to watch people perform tricks!" Yuan Yuan was furious.
Chai Yan immediately took out a piece of silver and said with a smile: "I didn't say I couldn't leave. We just watched for so long in vain. It's not easy for someone to perform so hard. I have to reward him a little."
After saying that, Chai Yan turned around and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.
Soon, the crowd of onlookers suddenly went crazy...
"Oh, what a generous young man!"
"This...is this twelve ingots, right?"
"Yes, it's just twelve ingots."
"Oh my, this handsome young man is really kind-hearted and has the heart of a Bodhisattva..."
Then, thunderous applause broke out, and the busker's show was forced to pause midway.
Then, the crowd of onlookers consciously opened a gap, and Chai Yan strode out. Following from the gap were several men from the entertainment industry. They were covered in sweat, and they all held up their hands and raised their fists to Chai Yan.
Thank you very much.
Chai Yan turned around and nodded from time to time, clasping his fists, and responded politely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I disturbed everyone's interest, please continue... continue..."
Yuan Yuan immediately rolled his eyes and couldn't help but mutter: "I just love to be in the limelight!"
Chai Yan walked up to Yuan happily and said, "It's done, let's go!"
After leaving the performing arts place, the two walked for another half an hour before finally turning into a quiet street.
Compared with the noisy market, this street is simply a different world. From time to time, people wearing various public uniforms walk around on the street, including one or two officials with heavy makeup.
"Madam, look at the one over there, the one walking towards us, is he the eunuch in the palace?" Chai Yan pulled Yuan's arm curiously.
"Yes." Yuyuan answered simply and clearly.
Chai Yan said with a surprised look on his face: "I heard people said that the eunuchs in the palace were popular about applying powder and makeup. I didn't believe it before. But when I saw it today, I didn't expect it to be true..."
This was the first time Chai Yan saw a living and walking eunuch. He was so curious that he forgot all about it. He stared at the approaching eunuch the whole time without moving his eyes.
The eunuch passed by Chai Yan and noticed that Chai Yan was staring at him. He immediately frowned, stopped and stamped his feet, stared at Chai Yan and shouted: "Bold!"
"Pfft..." Chai Yan burst into laughter.
"Laughing? You...you, you, you, what are you laughing at?" The eunuch was stunned, and then pointed at Chai Yan.
Lu Yuan didn't want to cause trouble in front of Wude Si's door, so he immediately pulled Chai Yan and ran forward quickly. The eunuch behind him didn't want to chase him, nor did he chase him, so he could only rebuke angrily: "Don't run if you have the guts, look at the miscellaneous family
How to deal with you!"
After running away, the two of them turned into an alley. Yuan Yuan immediately slapped Chai Yan and said angrily: "What are you doing? Do you know where this place is?"
Chai Yan shrank his neck and covered his belly, trying his best to suppress his laughter and said: "I'm sorry, that eunuch... haha... looks so funny, I... haha.
…I couldn’t hold it back…”
Yuan Yuan turned around and looked at the street. When he saw that the eunuch was not chasing after him and had gone far away, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where is my letter? Bring it here!"
"Why are you so anxious? It will be over when we give it to them together." Chai Yan said.
But Yuan refused and stretched out his hand and said, "No, just give me the letter. Who knows what trouble you may come up with later!"
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Chai Yan reached out and "explored" in her arms for a moment, and then took out two envelopes.
Chai Yan looked at it and handed one of the envelopes to Yuan.
Yuanyuan took it and looked at it to make sure it was correct. Just as he was about to put it into his bag, he raised a question: "Have you always carried this letter in your arms like this?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chai Yan didn't know why she asked this.
Yuan Yuan wondered: "Why are there no wrinkles at all?"
