Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 138

The so-called ladder to heaven does not just refer to the steps to climb up.

More importantly, this winding mountain avenue is the only passage connecting the inner city and the outer city. Climbing the ladder is to enter the inner city from the outer city, which represents the improvement of wealth, status and power.

Not everyone can enter the inner city, it is the exclusive place for the rich and powerful, not only the native families of the gods, but also the local families, in order to occupy a small courtyard in the inner city, they have to squeeze their heads.

It was a symbol of family status.

The closer it is to the imperial city, the more it proves that the family is prosperous.

This section of the winding mountain road alone lasted for more than half an hour. Qianyuan really missed cars. They also had four wheels. After all, those who eat grass can't do as well as those who drink oil.

At the end of the road is the Shenwu Gate.

The defenders of the city had changed from the city guards to the imperial guards, and they were also wearing black armor. The former was a standard infantry armor, but the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards wore black armor, which was a copy of the basalt armor.

Although the Black Armor is not made of pure black iron, it is mixed with one-third of black iron.

The difference is clear at a glance.

When they got here, the band stopped playing, and Qian Yuan and his party had to be inspected by the guards of the city before they could pass through. There was no bustle and bustle in the city outside, and it was solemn and solemn.

You can't even hear the cries along the street.

Pedestrians walking on the road are all dressed in brocade clothes, with extraordinary bearing.

Compared with the outer city, the streets in the inner city are more spacious, and the green vegetation is more precious. You can see such thousand-year-old elms and locust trees everywhere.The buildings on both sides are more luxurious and luxurious.

Occasionally see one or two plain buildings, which are also low-key luxury.

Zhuque Street in the outer city is 36 meters wide, which is an exaggeration, but Shenwu Street is 150 meters wide. On both sides of the street are wide and deep drainage ditches, with a depth of more than three meters.

Beyond the drainage ditch are not street-facing shops like the outer city, but courtyard walls that cut the inner city into semi-enclosed small squares, called squares.

The buildings with carved railings and painted buildings are all built within the square walls.

The gates opened from the courtyard wall are all magnificent. There are two rows of halberds lined up at the gates, and there are soldiers guarding them, which proves the status of the host family.

Only the homes of noble relatives in the royal palace and high-ranking officials above the third rank can be displayed in this way.

The inner city is nine kilometers long and nine kilometers wide, covering an area of ​​81 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty.

In the center of the inner city, an earthen platform was artificially built.

The earth platform is nine feet high, 0.9 kilometers long, and 0.9 kilometers wide. It is where the imperial city is located, and it is also the commanding height of the gods, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power.

The size of every building in the city coincides with the number of avenues.

Under the guidance of Quan Wanji, Qian Yuan and his entourage came to Yongxingfang next to the imperial city, which was full of one-water palaces and nothing else.

The Qin Palace where Qianyuan lived before is also located here, and it is one of the most magnificent palaces.

Perhaps considering Qian Yuan's feelings, the mansion bestowed this time is one south and the other north of Qin Wang's mansion, and they just can't see each other, but it's still grand.

"It's time for you, father-in-law!" Qian Yuan cupped his hands.

"Don't dare, it's what old slaves should do."

Quan Wanji gave a salute, and he found that His Highness the Fifteenth Prince had really matured a lot after going out. It's hard to judge other things for the time being, but he has grown a lot in dealing with people.

No wonder it caused so many people's fear.

Qian Yuan asked: "I don't know when the father will summon you?" It stands to reason that as soon as Qian Yuan arrived in Shendu, he should go to the palace to meet Emperor Qian, but to enter the palace, he must get an edict from Emperor Qian.

"This……"

Quan Wanji's expression froze.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yuan had a bad feeling.

Quan Wanji said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty has an order. Your Highness's engagement ceremony will be jointly organized by the Ministry of Rites, the Clan Mansion and the House of Internal Affairs, so that His Highness can stay at the mansion with peace of mind and there will be no summons."

Quan Wanji also didn't understand this oral order of Emperor Qian, but he didn't dare to ponder it.

"That's it,"

Qian Yuan tried his best to conceal the disappointment in his heart, and saluted again, "Thank you, father-in-law."

Seeing Quan Wanji, he bid farewell wisely, before leaving, he said, "Your Highness, if you need anything, please tell the old slave. Regarding the process of the engagement ceremony, the old slave will report to His Highness again."

Qian Yuan nodded.

"Go in, settle down, there is still work to do." This time when he came to Beijing, apart from Li Chunfeng and Guo Jia, Qian Yuan also brought Uncle Zhong.

Originally, the long history Liu Daoning should be following Qianyuan, but Qianyuan considered that the water in the city of God is too deep, and Liu Daoning, a newcomer, might not be able to hold on to the scene.

Uncle Zhong is different.

As the former chief steward of Prince Qin's mansion, Uncle Zhong shouldn't be too familiar with gods, as there are acquaintances in every mansion, so he is naturally handy in handling things.

This time in Shendu, apart from attending the engagement ceremony, Qian Yuan also wanted to take the opportunity to meet with some people and talk about things that are inconvenient to discuss in the letter.

Come back next time, but I don't know when it will be.

…………

Qian Yuan didn't go anywhere that day, and stayed in the mansion obediently according to Emperor Qian's order.

Uncle Zhong, on the other hand, began to bring the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to go door-to-door to give New Year's gifts. Although it was a little early, anyway, he was on the way, so as not to arrange another trip at the end of the year.

The annual ceremony is basically the same as previous years, the only difference is the Ninth Prince's Palace of Prince Qi and Princess Qingcheng's Palace. Now that they have formed an alliance, the gifts are naturally heavier.

Of course, the fifth family was the most troublesome.

The dowry has already been arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was sent to the fifth family. They are all in accordance with the rules left by the ancestors, and there are no new tricks.

Qian Yuan thought for a while, and decided to give a separate gift, how to say that the fifth Ziyue is also his daughter-in-law who is about to marry, she is the princess of Qingqiu County Prince's Mansion, so it's better not to be too shabby.

and,

If possible, Qianyuan still hopes that this marriage will not really become a superficial marriage.

That would be boring.

Therefore, Qianyuan put a lot of thought into what gift to give. As a wealthy family in the capital of God, what could the fifth family lack?Qianyuan finally decided not to give away anything Yu Yutian had.

If you want to send it, just send something new.

I can only bleed once, and exchange some earth goods from the [mall].

That's what matters.

For example, Qian Yuan would never touch clothes and jewelry on Earth. Even if it was a big brand or even a luxury item, it would be nothing to Yu Yutian.

Drop points!

Dagan's gorgeous clothes, precious materials, exquisite workmanship, and all the luxury goods, those who boast about pure handmade, private customization, etc. are not enough.

In the circle of Daqian aristocrats, this is all standard configuration, okay?

In addition, Fifth Ziyue's preferences have to be taken into consideration, she is an iceberg beauty, giving perfume or something, Qian Yuan estimated that Fifth Ziyue would not even touch her.

The gifts prepared this time, besides the conventional toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreen, thermos cup, glasses, etc., which are not available in Yu Yutian but are very practical daily necessities, Qianyuan also prepared three major gifts.

The first big piece is a women's mechanical watch.

Qianyuan himself brought a Piaget watch, and the system has automatically matched it to a Dagan calendar, which is really a must for home travel.

For soldiers like Fifth Ziyue, the role of the watch is even greater.

The second largest item is a Polaroid camera.

This is definitely a novelty in Yu Yutian, and it can also be used for military purposes.

The third largest item is a box of books.

That's right, they are books, and they are all military books, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Six Secret Teachings", "Wei Liaozi", etc., they are all bought, and a set of twelve is made up.

Qian Yuan thought, the fifth Ziyue should like it.

In order to prepare these gifts, including those for the Ninth Prince and the others, Qianyuan consumed a full 5000 killing points, leaving only 8000 killing points in hand for emergencies.

And these gifts are very necessary.

Men always want face, Qian Yuan doesn't want the fifth family to take him lightly.

After Uncle Zhong left, the mansion didn't stop there. Ever since Qianyuan entered the door, the butler kept sending greetings or invitations.

Or want to visit the mansion, or invite Qian Yuan to a banquet.

Inadvertently, Qian Yuan became a focus of the upper class in Shendu, attracting the attention of all.
