"My sister is right. Uncle, just think of it as a trip out to have fun and see the world. With my brother and I leading the way, nothing will be a problem." Xiao Wu said, patting his chest.
"You little brat!" Uncle Xu smiled and shook his head, then added, "Beijing is a place where nobles gather. Anyone you pick up on the street could be a scion of a wealthy family. You must be careful with your words and actions and don't offend others easily. If you get into any trouble, we're unfamiliar with the place and it will be difficult to resolve it."
Xiao Wu assured him, "Don't worry, uncle. This is related to Big Brother's college entrance exam, so I won't do anything rash."
After almost three days of hard travel, the group finally saw the huge city wall extending to both sides in the distance, with no end in sight.
"Is this the capital?" Uncle Xu murmured.
As the carriage got closer, they could vaguely see the soldiers guarding the city gate, wearing armor and holding spears, standing motionless on both sides.
On the city wall that is more than ten meters high, there is a soldier every three steps, looking out of the city gate with sharp eyes like old monks in meditation. Once any suspicious person approaches, he will not be able to escape their all-seeing eyes.
"So many soldiers? There are more than in Tianyou City, and they are more rigorous." Uncle Xu sighed.
As if affected by the oppressive atmosphere emanating from these soldiers, Uncle Xu secretly straightened his back, his palms were a little wet, and he dared not breathe.
"Uncle, relax a bit. You'll attract their attention if you do this." Qibao said.
Uncle Xu smelled it, forced himself to remain calm, and tried to relax his body.
"It's a routine check. Everyone in the carriage needs to get off for inspection."
The carriage had already arrived in front of the city gate when a loud and serious voice was heard.
Upon hearing this, Qibao and his companions lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
A few soldiers glanced at Qibao and his companions, and then two officers began to check whether there were any prohibited items in the carriage.
After a while, the two soldiers clasped their fists and said to the officer who seemed to be their leader: "Sir, everything is normal."
The leader waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately returned to their original positions.
"Are you outsiders? What are you doing in the city?" the chief's officer asked, with no expression on his face.
"Replying to the officer, we came from Qingyun City for the examination." Uncle Xu said nervously.
Upon hearing this, the officer glanced at Xu Wenwu and Xiaowu, nodded, and was not surprised. After all, there were many students who came to the capital to watch the excitement because of this matter. They just thought that Uncle Xu was bringing his own children to see the world.
"Don't cause trouble after entering the city." The officer warned.
Uncle Xu nodded repeatedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wiped away the cold sweat.
Everyone entered the city smoothly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were suddenly opened. They saw towers everywhere in the city, a bustling crowd of people, and a constant flow of traffic. The streets of the capital were wide and clean, and waiters from various businesses were shouting to attract passers-by.
Quaint attics are placed in an orderly manner, appearing both solemn and tasteful. The streets curve and extend in all directions, stretching as far as the eye can see.
There are teahouses, taverns, and pawnshops on both sides of the street, and there are also many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides.
Although it was evening, there were still people walking on the street. Some were carrying loads on their shoulders, some were pulling goods on donkeys, and there were also talented men and beautiful women stopping on the arch bridge in the distance, admiring the scenery under the bridge.
"It's really prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It's worthy of being the imperial city." Uncle Xu exclaimed, his eyes almost unable to turn straight.
Being there in person, Qibao realized that in his previous life he had only seen descriptions of the ancient imperial city on TV or in books, but none of them could compare to seeing it with his own eyes.
Compared to the modern high-tech city with tall buildings and bright neon lights, this place has more of a down-to-earth feel.
"Mr. Xu, you are here. I have been waiting for you."
At this moment, a man in black clothes clasped his fists and said respectfully.
Everyone was stunned at first, then looked towards the owner of the voice...
"You are not the guard beside Chenyu. If I remember correctly, your name is Qingzhu, right? Did he send you to pick us up?" Uncle Xu said in surprise.
"Yes, Master Xu, the young master calculated the time and expected that you would arrive in the capital in the next two days, so he sent me here to wait for a long time." Qingzhu still said respectfully.
He knew how much his master valued the Xu family. He had witnessed many miraculous things about the Xu family in Xujia Village. Naturally, he was very respectful and did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.
"Thank you for your hard work, and thank you Chenyu for thinking so much about us." Uncle Xu said.
"It's not hard. Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu and Miss Xu, please follow Qingzhu to Zuixianlou. A private room has been reserved there. After everyone is settled, Qingzhu will go and inform my young master." Qingzhu said.
"No, no, it's not too late to get together again when Chenyu has time after he finishes his work. We can't let Chenyu be delayed because of us." Uncle Xu waved his hand and said.
"Our young master said that he would inform you as soon as he received your message. He said that he would host a welcoming ceremony for you all, and I cannot disobey his orders." Qingzhu said respectfully again.
"Hey! Chenyu is a very honest child, so I'll trouble you, Qingzhu." Uncle Xu said.
"It's no trouble, please follow me." Qingzhu said and walked in front to lead the way.
Xiaowu couldn't hold back his temper, so he walked forward and walked with Qingzhu, asking questions curiously.
Qingzhu also answered every question Xiaowu asked seriously one by one.
The topics are nothing more than where is the most fun place in Beijing, where is the most delicious food, etc.
When they walked to a small three-story building not far away, they saw a cluster of flowers at the door. Girls wearing various revealing clothes were standing at the door or at the railing on the second floor, holding round fans and twisting their seductive waists, showing their charming style, which attracted the attention of many men passing by.
Uncle Xu lowered his head when he saw this, and quickly walked away, not daring to glance at her, muttering, "Don't look at anything indecent, don't listen to anything indecent."
Qibao, who was standing beside him, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Young Master, come and have fun at my Yudan Tower! Our girls are all very pretty, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and their massage skills are perfect. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
At this time, two girls in pink and green gauze skirts stopped in front of Xu Wenwu. They had charming smiles on their faces, and their eyes seemed to be able to hook a man's soul. They looked at Xu Wenwu with seductive eyes.
A pair of hands were about to grab Xu Wenwu's arm, but Xu Wenwu frowned and dodged.
"Young master is so handsome, I am willing to serve you, please don't be shy!" The girl in the pink gauze skirt looked at Xu Wenwu's face, and her cheeks turned red.
This young man is very handsome and has an excellent temperament. He is many times better than the guests she usually receives. She is very much looking forward to getting drunk with him just tonight.
