A group of twenty or thirty people rushed through the day and stayed at night. They entered the station if there was an inn. If there was no inn, they looked for an inn. Guard Hu and others had already walked once before, and this kind of thing did not make Xu Jiaojiao and the others worry about it.

It was the first time that Xu Jiaojiao and his wife went to Beijing. They were not familiar with the route. If they were the only two of them, they would definitely take some detours. They were not so fast, which saved some time now.

However, if the time Hu and his friends were missing at Lao Xu's house was almost the same.

Along the way, Xu Jiaojiao saw the pastoral scenery, the sky was blue and the water flowed clear. It’s a pity that they had to hurry and could not get off the bus to tour at will.

The inn has the most contacts. Most of them are built on the roadside, all of which are brick and wood structures. When the inn shopkeepers and friends saw dozens of people, they were basically dressed in uniform. Only two people were not, but their status was reversed.

The highest appearance is that people with great backgrounds dare not neglect and serve them very thoughtfully.

Perhaps because of this, the journey was extremely smooth. Xu Jiaojiao did not see the legendary person who likes to open mountains and plant trees to buy wealth.

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing have good physical fitness, and neither experience motion sickness or seasickness.

Guard Hu admired Xu Jiaojiao very much. He thought that Xu Jiaojiao would be able to move, seasickness and drag down the road. As a result, this little girl was more thrifty than their experienced guards.

To be honest, Xu Jiaojiao didn't feel tired at all along the way, just treated it as a traveler.

Good food, drink and treat.

The carriage is particularly comfortable. Every time you arrive at the station, you will change a new horse, but the carriage will not be changed.

Except for sometimes the road is difficult to walk and some bumpy, there are no other problems.

Often, when you wake up, you will pass by a hundred miles.

Since she traveled through time, she has been to Bingyang City last time and has seen the scenery of Snow City. This is the second time she has gone far away to the capital.

After entering the capital, Guard Hu and Liao Qing and the others discussed it. They simply rested at the ferry entrance, and after dinner, they went to Du's mansion.

According to Hu Wei, the capital is located in the northeastern area of ​​Daxiang. The weather is dry and there is no waterway. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. But it is safe. There are city defenses on all sides. The enemy country cannot attack. The capital city enjoys tribute from all directions and is extremely prosperous.

The architecture is magnificent and prosperous, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda towers into the clouds, and the bells in the Temple of the Last Emperor are simple and distant.

Xu Jiaojiao was overwhelmed with her eyes.

She has learned a little about the history of the Daxiang Kingdom recently. It was formerly called the Daxiang Dynasty. At its most glorious time, it was claimed to have unified the world.

Later, it gradually declined, split into five parts, and became five countries. Daxiang Kingdom was only one of the five countries. It did not have the qualifications to be called the dynasty, and even the dynasty was almost unable to be called. Recently, the country's fortunes were not good, and it was repeatedly bullied by neighboring countries, and the court did not act.

, coupled with natural disasters, locust plagues, droughts, plagues, earthquakes, etc., the people are poor and their lives are getting harder and harder.

But the traces of history are still there. The magnificent temple of the late emperor and the ancient Big Wild Goose Pagoda are all landmark buildings in the capital.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao were in the carriage. Liao Qing held books of local people's dissatisfaction and introduced and explained them one by one with Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao felt that although it was Liao Qing's first time, he seemed to be confident in everything, and it was indeed extraordinary.

The capital is indeed prosperous. A carriage like the two of them are sitting in a remote small place. Every time they pass by, it will inevitably attract onlookers. However, here, the streets are full of luxurious carriages, and the people are surprised.

No wonder, that is, after taking a look, no one will take a second look.

Or the people of the imperial capital have knowledge.

Xu Jiaojiao thought about this and was full of expectations for this place. Although she was comfortable in the countryside, she had always had little knowledge. Now she came to the capital of a country. It was a good opportunity to gain knowledge and she yearned for it. After all, it was a different life.

Well.

The houses on both sides of the street are a bit old, but the streets are very spacious. There are several large carriages like the Du family that can be worn side by side, not crowded.

This fully demonstrates the prosperity of the once prosperous country.

Along the way, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing were whispering to the scenery in the carriage, discussing favors, and soon arrived at the Du family.

Shiwei Hu praised again. This young couple is not an ordinary person. If they change their own people, they will probably be extremely nervous now. After all, they are the most important and important things in life. Children who are wandering in the countryside.

I was taken back to the master's house for a moment, and I felt a little nervous and worried about the future. The closer I got to the Du Mansion, shouldn't I be nervous?

But the young couple were muttering about the customs and customs of the capital, historical sites and other places along the way.

Nothing at all uneasy.

It seems like that, it feels like being a guest at a friend who is too familiar to me to be a friend? Having a meal?

Guard Hu really couldn't figure out this new eldest young master.

...

Not far ahead is the gate of Du Mansion. Xu Jiaojiao opened a corner of the curtain and looked over. She saw two tall stone lions, placed on both sides, with extraordinary magnificence, tall roofs and large tiles, and carved flowers on the eaves of the doors.

The engraved one, a plaque hung directly above.

Two big characters for asking for gold, Du Mansion.

The handwriting seems to be stable, but if you look closely, it is stable and has a hint of madness.

Xu Jiaojiao silently guessed that this plaque was probably written by a younger generation in the mansion. Those who have such writing skills among the younger generation are extraordinary.

They had just stopped the carriage at the gate of Du Mansion and walked out of the side road. They should be servants of the Du family.

He quickly walked towards the guard Hu and his group and said for a while.

Then he saw Guard Hu dismount and came over.

"Big Master, Grandma, the Du Mansion has arrived. I have handed over it with the servant. The eldest master and Grandma are just going to enter the mansion directly. Let's take the leave first."

"Thank you, Guard Hu."

Guard Hu bowed and said, "See you better."

He took dozens of guards under his command to go down first.

Their escort mission ended here. It took more than a month to go back and report.

After they left, Liao Qing whispered to Xu Jiaojiao, "What did you say?"

Xu Jiaojiao also replied in a low voice, "I didn't lie, I said Mr. Du was working in the Ministry of Revenue, waiting for them to report, and just say that we would be given to them."

Liao Qing nodded.

Guard Hu and his guards retreated, leaving the lonely carriage that Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao were riding in at the door of Du Mansion.

The two servants came forward and said, "Please get off the carriage and follow us into the mansion."

Liao Qing got off the carriage first. He wore a blue shirt. Although it was a new one, it was not in style. It was simple and unpretentious, and there was not even an embroidery. However, when worn on him, it made people feel radiant, decent and generous, and too dazzling.
