At this time, the cool wind blew from the water, stirring the hair of the three little beauties. The three excited little pink faces in the sun are indescribably charming.涶
The little train crossed the bridge and drove faster and faster, and soon reached a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.
This has exceeded the maximum speed of a steam car of 25 kilometers per hour. Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru both shouted excitedly.
The little girl was so excited that she brushed Chen Xi's back and shouted, "Can it go faster? Can it go faster?"
Chen Xi hesitated and said, "The safe speed is less than 30 kilometers per hour. However, when designing, I made a 20% safety margin. The fastest I can drive is 35 kilometers per hour, and I can't go any faster. Already."
The two ladies are now the top priority of Yang Fan's system, far more important than the war in the northwest. Everyone is watching, if you drive too fast and go off the rails. There is something wrong, but Chen Xi cannot bear the responsibility.
Chen Xi's little hands increased the oil supply valve to the maximum, and at the same time opened the steam valve to the maximum. The little train blew its whistle, woo woo woo! Chirping and accelerating.
The little train suddenly accelerated. On the speedometer, the needle quickly reached thirty-five kilometers per hour. Then Chen Xi controlled and maintained this speed.涶
At this speed, the cavalry coming from the east bank of the Yongding River could no longer keep up. No horse can keep running at this speed.
Looking at the rapidly retreating scenery on both sides, Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were extremely excited.
They both like high speed. When riding a horse, one likes to ride the fastest horse, and when riding a car, one also likes to ride the fastest car. Naturally like excitement. If she were born in the future, she would be a girl riding a motorcycle.
Soon by the Jishui Pond, the towering gray city wall was getting closer and closer. Finally, the train slowed down and slowly entered the station at the Jishuitan temporary goods yard.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru got out of the car still unfinished. The little girl raised her wrist and looked at the Patek Philippe Tourbillon watch. He said with satisfaction: "It's really good, it's only two quarters of an hour."
Chen Xi took off his white gloves and said, "If the railway is built and naturalized, we can drive the train to see the master. It only takes two days and two nights."
Lin Yueru said: "I miss you after I have been on the war for so long. I hope the railway will be repaired soon."
The three of them had longing expressions on their faces and were silent for a while.
Xiao Niangpi looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark soon. Said: "Let's go back to the mansion today. It's been a long time since we went back to our home in the capital. What should we eat at night?"
Chen Xi said: "Let's go to Gulou East Street to eat seafood. Now that there are small steamers, Tianjin's seafood can be transported to the capital alive. Several seafood restaurants have opened there."
"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten lobster for a long time. There is also fish maw fish maw soup." The little girl's mouth was drooling. "Then what are you waiting for? The city gate will be closed when it gets dark. You donkey, hurry up and find a carriage. Let's go into the city."
Donkey Dan hurriedly went to find the carriage. Four-wheeled carriages are also prepared here.
Although the four-wheeled carriage is not yet on the market, hundreds of them have been produced. It's all in the warehouse. After a period of preparation, we will start to focus on sales.
Nowadays, the little girl travels in a convoy, and in addition to the cavalry, there are also carriages following her.涶
Huang Daya and other female soldiers from the inner house followed in carriages. They are the last layer of security personnel.
The current establishment of the inner house female soldiers is a three-battalion inner house defense regiment. A battalion of five hundred men. The three battalion commanders are Huang Erya, Huang Sanya, and Huang Siya. The regiment leader is Colonel Huang Daya.
This regiment is mainly responsible for the security of Yang Fan's inner house. At the same time, he is also responsible for guarding Yang Fan's most important internal warehouse. These inner warehouses contain Yang Fan's most important things.
Yang Fan from the Jinsitao area of Houhai in the capital went to the General's Mansion in the West. Yang Fan's mansion in Xincheng. They are responsible for guarding Yang Fan's mansion in Duolun City. A battalion was stationed in each. The headquarters is located in Yangfu, Xincheng.
Every time the ladies come out, or important people in the house come out, such as Xiang Yi and others who are in charge of finance. They are all protected by female guards in varying numbers.
Ludan found a carriage, and Huang Daya and two female soldiers sat in the back of the carriage. Two female soldiers waist
Standing on the pedals on both sides of the car door with flintlock muskets stuck in them, they were similar to those guards in the Republic of China who stood on the pedals of high-ranking cars and carried shell guns.
The convoy entered the city all the way from Desheng Gate. Turn onto Gulou West Street.涶
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru covered their noses with handkerchiefs. There was a lot of bad smell coming in from the open car window.
Xiao Niangpi complained: "I don't know what the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department is busy with all day long. No one cleans up the horse manure in the ground. There is smelly water in the gutters. The garbage is piled on the roadside and there is no clear way to transport it. Get out of town. It’s so dirty.”
Lin Yueru said: "When my adoptive father was here, the management of this capital was relatively well-organized. Now that these Donglin gentlemen have come, no one cares about the city's sanitation. They keep doing useless things all day long. This city is almost dirty. There are mountains of rubbish piled up in many places.”
Chen Xi said: "Oh! How can I say good things about them? Every article written is colorful. Normally, everyone is like a Taoist master, and they don't want to get involved in the slightest mundane things. But there must be someone for these specific tasks. Come and take care of it. Being an official in the imperial court does not mean that you are aloof from the world."
"Hmph! These Donglin gentlemen are blind when they do something real. They have no money, and no way. They just stare and act calmly. In the words of the master, they are all lying flat." Xiao Niangpi said angrily.
The carriage turned around the Drum Tower, and the environment suddenly became better.
Because Yang Mansion developed both sides of Huangcheng North Street. The section from Di'anmen Street to Drum Tower has been hardened with cement and sewers have been built. There are also street lights and people directing traffic.涶
The carriage stopped at Gulou East Street. Donkey Dan ran over to open the car door very clumsily. Please come down, ladies.
For the old servants, it is their privilege to serve the master and his family. How can ordinary people be qualified to move forward?
Xiao Niangpi looked up at the three-story restaurant, which had hanging beams and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. It was getting dark at this time, and red lanterns were hung on the three-story eaves, which was very beautiful.
Xiao Niangpi nodded and said: "This Guangdong Restaurant is really good. The boss is willing to spend money on decoration. There is a hardened cement parking lot in front of the door. When you get out of the car, your feet will not touch the mud. It is of high quality at first glance."
Lin Yueru said: "There is no shortage of rich people in this capital, but good things. As long as the service is good and the things are authentic, you won't have to worry about no customers coming."
"Let's go and try to see if his seafood is delicious because the master cooks it himself." Xiao Niangpi was wearing a cashmere coat, put her hands in her pockets, and led everyone towards the door.
"Hey, the person over there seems to be Governor Yuan." Lin Yueru said suddenly.涶
"Well, who is it? Governor Yuan, isn't he in Ningyuan? What are you doing in the capital?" Xiao Niangpi also became alert. Bian Shuai is not allowed to enter Beijing without any reason. Because the responsibility of guarding a place is very important.
Yuan Chonghuan was not guarding Ningyuan honestly, why did he come back privately? Still wearing casual clothes. Obviously there are some ghosts who worship it.
"Hmph, you can tell others everything you want. These Donglin people are all sanctimonious and do things with great respect. They are really upright and upright, just like the master said."
"Look who the person next to him is." Lin Yueru stopped and said with a sneer.
They were in the shadows, and the parking lot was darker. There are many red lanterns hanging at the gate. Shining brightly as day. They could clearly see the situation in front of the door.
"Mao Wenlong! Why is he with Yuan Chonghuan?" Xiao Niangpi exclaimed in shock.
