Chapter 178 Lu Yu and Beijing have arrived

The two young masters and young ladies are both at the seventh level of martial arts. They are dressed in ordinary official attire and are having a pleasant conversation with each other.

The person who recited the poem was one of the young men with a long face, who was actually a little proud at the moment.

Xin Zhuo did not see any "strange" temperament in this person that was completely different from this world, but he still cupped his fists and saluted without giving up: "May I ask if the poem you just sang was written by you, or..."

The three of them heard the sound and looked over. They found that although Xin Zhuo was a little embarrassed with some straw crumbs on his body, his clothes were made of fine brocade, and he lived in a private room worth one hundred taels of silver. They didn't know what he did.

, had no choice but to return the favor one after another.

The long-faced young man smiled proudly: "Of course I did it!"

Xin Zhuo pondered for a moment: "Are the first two sentences an old friend's farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks descending on Yangzhou in March?"

The long-faced young man was startled and looked him up and down: "How did you know?"

Really "companions"?

Xin Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Young master, all you need to do is tell me where you got it?"

The long-faced young man's face turned pale and blue, and he laughed: "Actually, I heard that I have a cousin who once studied in the Frontier Academy and is now a captain in the Shence Army in the capital."

The round-faced young man is named Zhang Guangpu, who is from Jingjiang Prefecture. He is traveling to the capital to take part in this year’s joint examination.

Sun Miao'er covered her mouth and smiled softly, looking like a young lady, "When my aunt wrote the letter, she also said that if I could marry into the Jiang family, I would definitely have a successful career!"

On the fifth day, there was an accident and the boat broke down!

A closer look shows that the city wall is extremely tall, and every brick and tile is extremely exquisite. The soldiers guarding the city wall are all tall and tall, with silver armor, iron helmets, and spears, which is intimidating.

Xin Zhuo chatted nonsense with three people every day, or listened to three people talking nonsense. If nothing else, he kept a close eye on the gossip in the capital.

Next, there was no talking all the way, and the boat was moving very fast, hundreds of miles a day.

Fu Qingshan was a little disappointed: "The branch of the Jiang family is almost like a slave. All the abilities of the Jiang family are in the hands of direct descendants!"

Because the official roads are getting wider and wider, there are more and more passers-by, cars and horses, and many of them are people wearing armor, official robes or brocade clothes and jade belts, which is very noble.

The long-faced young master originally didn't want to pay any more attention to him, but he felt like showing off: "To tell you the truth, my surname is Helian, and each word is Sheng. I am the governor of the Northern Wei Army. Do you know him?"

"The direct son of the Jiang family is the perfect match for the princess!" Sun Miao'er pursed her lips and chuckled, "How can I be so lucky? I dare not even think about it!"

The official road below the city was crowded with pedestrians, cars and horses brushed against each other, and there were all kinds of people, and even countless hawkers and scattered construction shops.

It took five full days for the boat to be repaired.

After a while, the three of them, Fu Qingshan, looked at Xin Zhuo: "Oh! I haven't asked my little brother's name yet, why are you going to the capital here?"

Xin Zhuo, who had been eating for a long time, didn't want to violate the honor of several people. After thinking about it, Xin Zhuo couldn't use it, and the surname Jiang couldn't be used either. He said casually: "My wife, Murong Xiu, went to the capital to visit relatives!"

The three of them seemed not very interested in his affairs. Zhang Guangpu said with a wry smile: "I have an average talent and an average martial arts level. I don't know if I can be nominated this time. I feel very nervous!"

“It’s better to think about it than not to think about it!”

"Well, yes!"

Fu Qingshan smiled and said: "If you don't have confidence, it's better to find connections. The first choice is officials from the Six Ministries and Six Divisions, then the aristocratic families, and finally the princes and nobles!"

From a distance, it looks like a tiger coiling and a dragon crouching, with no end in sight. Among them, the pavilions, pavilions, solemn and majestic tall buildings seem to extend to the horizon, and the left and right sides are endless. You can't tell how big it is!

Xin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or something else. He said casually: "May I ask the young master what the name of that cousin is?"

The woman's name was Sun Miao'er. She had a great background. She was the daughter of the magistrate of Jinglian Prefecture. She went to her aunt's house in the capital to marry someone from the capital and settle down in the capital. Her father would be promoted in a few years and would come with his family.

Sun Miaoer was a little embarrassed: "My uncle is Sizheng of the Supervision Department, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Jiang from the Jiang family's house!"

Fu Qingshan and Zhang Guangpu immediately became interested: "What? Does Miss Sun have connections to the Jiang family?"

The moment they saw the outline of the capital, the three of them, including Xin Zhuo, lost their composure.

The moat in the outer city is extremely wide, and both sides of the river bank are crowded with passers-by and tourists.

The long-faced young man looked surprised. He quickly took Xin Zhuo's hand like a human and said to the man and woman next to him: "Brother Guangpu, Miss Miao'er, come into the next room and let's have a few drinks!"

"We need to be careful about what we say!" Fu Qingshan lowered his voice, "I don't know the rank of the official until I arrive in the capital. Maybe anyone who pops up from the side is a prince or noble!"

Zhang Guangpu suddenly trembled: "Let's not talk about it. The Jiang family's iron floating guards are so scary!"

Twenty miles is not a short journey, but if you focus on the journey, it is still very fast. The closer you get to the capital, the more pedestrians are on the spacious official road, and the cars and horses are crowded, and the pedestrians are like weaving.

Xin Zhuo nodded, you guys are talking like this, I don’t even know how to answer the conversation.

It’s so majestic and magnificent——

After getting off the boat, it was still twenty miles away from the outer city of the capital. A few people walked together leisurely. They chatted a few words at first, but later they no longer dared to talk nonsense.

Zhang Guangpu's eyes lit up slightly and he looked around: "Do you think it's possible to involve the Jiang family?"

Xin Zhuo was determined to get off the boat and walk on land, but he was used to riding on boats, so he didn't want to move and was too lazy, so he had to wait.

The capital seems to be surprisingly large, with all kinds of people, experts, officials, interesting things, etc., but I don’t know if these three people heard it through hearsay.

Fu Qingshan couldn't help but be startled: "You dare to imagine what kind of family background the Jiang family has. It is full of princesses, wives, disciples and former officials, and any one you throw at it will be a general with heavy troops or a governor!"

"Oh! What a great talent!"

"Of course!" Zhang Guangpu nodded cautiously.

"I see!"

We continued on the road on the sixth day, and by the time we arrived at Bantong River in the capital, more than half a month had passed.

The chats between the three of them were about court affairs, disturbances in the scientific examination room or local customs, which once made Xin Zhuo wonder whether this was a world of warriors or an ordinary feudal society.

Then he looked at Xin Zhuo: "Brother Murong, what are you talking about?"

The case has been solved! It should be an extracurricular question that I asked when I was the master of Qiugong Pavilion. I smiled and said: "I know him, I was a classmate with him!"

The snacks and drinks have been put on the table.

In short, it makes people feel the vastness of the world, the miraculous craftsmanship, and the insignificance of oneself, and it is difficult not to develop some inferiority complex.

Xin Zhuo thought for a while, but he was bored anyway, so he followed a few people into the room.

Everyone introduced each other. The long-faced young master's name was Fu Qingshan. He came from Beiwei Mansion and was He Liansheng's cousin. This time he went to the capital to join He Liansheng.

Zhang Guangpu even knelt on the ground and kissed the marble floor: "The sky is full of blessings from gods and Buddhas. I wish you can stand firm under the feet of the emperor in the great city of the world!"

This is not shameful. There are many people like him who came to Beijing for the first time and knelt down to worship him.

Xin Zhuo's expression was a little complicated at this time. This city was really majestic and boundless, completely beyond his guess. It couldn't even be filmed in previous movies and TV series. How many strange characters and forces must be in it?

After being stunned for a long time, he finally remembered the business. He was delayed on the way. Chanyi and the others must have arrived before him, so he quickly asked: "Where is the East City Gate?"

Fu Qingshan sighed: "This is it, the Dongcheng Shenwu Sect!"
