At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Since he was in Beijing to take the exam, Si Yuandao did not take any detours to study.

The disciples traveled every day during the day, calculated the distance, and entered the city before closing the city gate.

The convoy kept going and finally arrived in Shangjing on the last day of the first lunar month.

Driving through the official road lined with green silk ribbons, the majestic city wall comes into view.

There are more than ten gatehouses alone. They are decorated with painted red bricks and pink leather tiles, and the red national flag with gold rims on the beams flutters in the wind. It is really beautiful.

There are three gates in the south of the city, and here is the Mingde Gate due south. There are five doors in one door, and the five doors are the same width and height.

The red door in the middle doorway is tightly closed. It is a special door that will only be opened when the emperor travels.

It was almost noon, and merchants on horses and mules were walking in a hurry to the doorway, anxiously waiting for the guards to check their identities before entering the city.

Suddenly hearing the noise from behind, the Liangzhou businessman riding a camel looked back and saw two rows of cavalry escorting a convoy.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, which big shot is returning to the capital? The last time such a battle happened, it was the eldest princess who returned to the capital.

On the contrary, there was a candidate from another state who was rushing to take the exam and saw the imperial examination flag hanging on Xie Yuheng's carriage.

He said with a sour tone: "Tsk, it's just a sick rice seedling."

As soon as these words came out, the fellow countrymen around him immediately took a big step to the side. It was so embarrassing to just leave him where he was.

After glancing at the unclear-minded Juzi, Xie Mingcheng lowered the car curtain angrily and continued to eat the parfait in his hand with his head lowered.

When he entered the city later, he had to report to the right leader's guard office. He originally planned to buy something hot in the city.

But I remembered what Mr. Si said: "Officials are not allowed to eat on horseback, let alone while walking." ’

If the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sees it, he will be impeached and it will be an insult to official confidentiality...

Xie Yuheng poured a cup of warm tea for Xie Mingcheng and said with a smile: "Second brother is not angry with them. Second brother still doesn't know whether Yuheng is in good health or not?"

Thinking about Xie Yuheng's strength, he could beat a cow to death and kick a person into a wall without being able to dig him out.

Xie Mingcheng's expression softened a little, he took the tea and muttered: "I just can't listen to them saying something bad about you."

Xie Mingli held the teacup in his hand as if carelessly, and clinked it with Xie Mingcheng's teacup. The crisp sound of clinking porcelain echoed in the carriage.

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately calmed down his expression and put on the calm look of an adult.

He can't be his sister's loophole when he's both prosperous and destructive.

The wind in Jiangling could not blow up to the capital, so Xie Yuheng and his party lined up with others to enter the city.

However, the four doorways were inspected at the same time, and they did not have to wait long before entering the capital, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

We parted ways with some of the candidates on Zhuque Street, and the motorcade headed for Si Yuandao's house in Beijing, Chongyifang.

The carriage was driving on the Suzaku Street, which was more than 40 feet wide. Si Yuandao stroked his goatee and gave some knowledge to the people in the carriage:

"As for those who come from outside to take the exam, most of them live in Chongrenfang and Yanzhengfang."

"However, the two are located next to the Imperial City, and the cost of accommodation is quite high, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Of course you can also stay at the guild hall of Honshu in Beijing. There is no charge for accommodation."

Xie Yuheng looked at the prosperous scene outside through the slightly swaying gauze.

He smiled and said, "Sir, let me tell you how much money you want to receive for accommodation. Yu Heng has nothing else but a few hundred million dollars."

Listening to her nonsense, Si Yuandao pretended to be angry and tapped the little guy's forehead with his finger, "I want them all, you give them to me too?"

Xie Yuheng looked deep in thought, thought for a moment and said, "That won't work. Yuheng wants to keep part of the money for dinner, and the rest can be given to sir."

"You little naughty boy, you are the only one with a mouth that can talk."

Si Yuandao said with disgust, but his face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Suddenly hearing the sound of drums, Xie Yuheng looked out and saw small merchants and hawkers carrying all kinds of goods on the street. The soles of their shoes were almost like sparks.

Different from Jiangling City, the commercial area is divided into four directions: east, west, north and south, and different goods are sold according to the area. For example, the rich moon half dog was bought in the south of the city where livestock was sold.

There are two markets in Shangjing, East and West. The things sold in the East Market are higher quality. The West Market is mostly populated by civilian traders, and some goods from merchants from the Western Regions and other countries are also sold in the West Market.

"This is the market opener. When you get home and take a bath, you can go shopping."

Si Yuandao smiled and picked up a cup of warm tea.

Xie Yuheng nodded obediently and asked Si Yuan with a raised face: "Sir, do you have to go to the West City to find a naginator?"

Si Yuandao was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and then said: "There are them in every shop, most in the West Market. Besides..."

The old man looked at Xie Yuheng's little face and said, "You're not old enough to grow a beard, so what's your job?"

Xie Yuheng looked out the car window and said casually: "I just want to trim my hair, a little bit."

There is a folk saying that if you shave your head in the first month, your uncle will die.

She has already arrived in Beijing. Wouldn't it be too rude of her not to greet her uncle Meng Shuhong?

Just get her hair fixed. Alas, she is a good and polite child.

"Cough cough cough..."

Apparently Si Yuandao had also guessed something. He took the handkerchief handed over by Xie Mingli and wiped the water off his beard without saying a word.

Forget it, anyway, the Yongchang Mansion belongs to the little guy’s maternal grandfather’s family, and not many people know about it, so just cut it off.

It's rare for such a well-behaved and intelligent disciple to have a wish, so why should he be so easy on himself?

The convoy went all the way north, with cavalry protecting the road and yellow flags flying on the cars, which looked very majestic.

At the Kaimingfang teahouse, several literati-looking men leaned on the railing and watched.

One of them said: "The one from Jingzhou has entered Beijing."

"finally......"

A man in blue robe beside the round table murmured.

"What's the end? Brother Chi, you are the same. The grudge with the Marquis of Jiangling is a matter in your second uncle's room."

"Here in the capital, who doesn't know that the eldest and second eldest members of the Chi family are at odds with each other and are about to become enemies of life and death?"

"Why do you bother yourself to gather the seeds of unwarranted hatred?"

Lu Peiran slapped the table with hatred, turning his white palms red.

Chi Song just shook his head, smiled bitterly, and drank the cold tea in his hand.

"Is it because Chi Bai bullied you, or the Chi family hasn't recognized you yet?"

Lu Peiran sighed deeply and patted his friend on the shoulder. He comforted him and said, "Brother Chi, don't be afraid. I only look at talent, knowledge, and character as an official, not family background."

"So what if it's not recognized by the clan?"

The Chi family has been passed down from generation to generation, and in Chi Bai's generation, he was the only one left. However, he had somehow contracted the habit of cutting sleeves in the past few years.

Later, he was dismissed from office and the Chi family paid a lot of money, so Chi Bai began to stay all night, in the Nanfeng Pavilion in Pingkangfang...

Fortunately, after the owner's mother died of illness, the eldest man of the Chi family took back an outsider, namely Chi Song.
