The carriage was galloping and bumping.

Fortunately, Jiang Sheng was prepared and put several layers of quilts under his buttocks.

Unfortunately, the cheap carriage was of poor quality. A few layers of quilts could only make the butt feel slightly better, but they could not ease Chang Yan's pale complexion, let alone swallow the bitterness that Wen Zhiyun vomited.

Zheng Ruqian really couldn't bear it and slowed down.

But if this continues, it will take them several months to reach Fengjing.

"Second brother, I'm fine." Chang Yan said with difficulty, "Let's go faster. Fourth brother and I can sleep."

After saying that, he fell on the quilt.

Jiang Sheng was slightly better, not because she was physically strong, but because Aunt Zhang held her in her arms and used her legs as a buffer.

But if this continues, Aunt Zhang's arms and legs will become numb.

Jiang Sheng jumped down sensibly, and lay down side by side with his fourth and fifth brothers. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, "I'm going to sleep too."

After sleeping like this, it would be dark when I opened my eyes again.

The carriage has stopped, Zheng Ruqian found an inn and was negotiating with the innkeeper.

There are six of them in total, and they need to book two rooms. Zhang Xianglian and Jiang Sheng will sleep in one room, and the four brothers will sleep in one room.

Someone will take the carriage down to feed the horses, and the tired people can finally lie down on the soft bed and sleep until dawn.

Wait until the next day, after breakfast, continue walking northwest.

Jiang Sheng lay on Aunt Zhang's lap and sighed, "I can't stand it anymore after sitting in the carriage for three to five days. I never expected that the third brother rode to Northern Xinjiang like this. When he landed, his arms and legs were still in their original state. Location?"

Xu Mo couldn't help laughing, and stood up to change jobs with Zheng Ruqian, "Don't worry, the positions of the arms and legs will not be reversed."

Jiang Sheng sighed.

Fortunately, they arrived in Huizhou County in a few days. With his clever mouth, Brother Zheng not only passed through the entire county correctly, but also bought Huangshan County's famous sesame seed cakes and She County's hairy tofu.

The pain of running around faded away at this moment. The joy of eating and the satisfaction of gaining knowledge are things that you will never get if you live in Xieyang County.

Next, Henan County, Jiangxia County, and Jiang Sheng visited various cultural scenes and delicious customs.

Even Zhang Xianglian was surprised, "It turns out that this world is so big."

A month later, they finally passed through Hanzhong County and arrived at the border of Fengjing.

As the geographical location changes, the temperature and air also change. The most obvious is that the skin is a little wrinkled, the breath feels dry, and Wen Zhiyun even has a nosebleed.

He is a doctor himself, and after feeling the pulse, he knew that the problem was not serious, but that the air was too dry and he was not used to it.

Jiang Sheng pursed his lips and wanted to say something. He turned around and was shocked to see the rolling mountains, "What is that?"

The majestic mountains and rivers are of different heights near and far, with the right shades of light and shade as if made by heaven.

The stretched body borders the sky, as if it can transform into an immortal at any time and fly away with the wind.

The layers of green give it life, and the unevenness makes it shrouded in mystery.

"This is the Kunlun Mountains, and it is also the dragon vein of the entire Dayu Dynasty." Chang Yan sat up at some point and said quietly, "The ancestors of the Dayu Dynasty located Kyoto here because of this dragon vein."

The emperor is the true dragon emperor, so of course Kyoto must also have dragon veins.

Backed by the natural barrier of the Kunlun Mountains, Fengjing You will always be in an invincible position.

Everyone looked into the distance, with longing, astonishment, and a trail of nosebleeds in their eyes.

Two days later.

The carriage stood at the gate of Fengjing.

Compared with Anshui County's natural city gate, which is built against a mountain, Fengjing's city gate is more majestic and more exquisite.

Rounded stone pillars are embedded with thick wooden doors. On both sides are city walls that stretch like mountains. The stacked bricks and tiles are stacked to a height that is difficult to climb. Dozens of soldiers holding long guns guard the door, checking the luggage and vehicles of the people passing by. .

Compared with Anshui County's cursory inspection, Fengjing's soldiers were more careful, even groping through civilians' bulging sleeves, as if they were afraid of hiding any anti-personnel items.

"Fengjing is at the feet of the emperor after all, and has extremely high safety requirements." Chang Yan explained.

Jiang Sheng nodded.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, soldiers came over for inspection as usual. Zheng Ruqian politely opened the curtain, took out the identity document given by the Anshui County Sheriff, and finally unpacked the luggage.

After checking that everything was correct, the soldier glanced at the unfamiliar faces and stepped back to let them go.

The carriage drove gently into Fengjing City, and the familiar mandarin shouts flooded into my mind.

Chang Yan raised his head from the corner, his limbs were cold, but his mind was particularly clear.

After three years, he returned to this city.

This time, he was just Chang Yan, an ordinary boy with an older brother and younger sister.

Leng Buding covered her with warm hands, and along with Jiang Sheng's complaint, "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold? Are they cold?"

The body temperature continued to flow, warming his hands and feet, and making his heart gradually calm and relax.

"Really? Is Xiaowu cold?" Wen Zhiyun, who had just wiped away the nosebleed, hugged his feet, "Fourth brother, please warm you up."

Xu Mo smiled as he watched his family members loving each other.

Only Zheng Ruqian outside glanced at his thin clothes, the scorching sun, and the sweat on his forehead from the people rushing around.

Is it cold in June and July?

When you first come to Fengjing, the first thing you need to do is find accommodation.

Considering the high prices in Fengjing, the brother and sister agreed to rent a house.

It was just the rental prices that shocked them.

Xu Mo is a civil servant, so he should go to the Imperial College to study before the examination, so it is best to choose a house near the Imperial College.

Zheng Ruqian took a fancy to a small courtyard with a second floor, and cautiously inquired, "What's the price of this courtyard?"

Yaren picked at his fingernails lazily, "One hundred taels."

Zheng Ruqian was shocked.

Thinking about it, in Xieyang County, a yard of the same size only costs ten taels. At that time, he still thought it was expensive.

Later, in Anshui County, such a large hairpin flower courtyard could be rented for one year in twenty-five years.

Why is it that in Fengjing, the second time you enter a small courtyard, you have to pay a hundred taels of silver to rent it?

Zheng Ruqian was puzzled. He was more angry and had a strong sense of powerlessness.

The overwhelming self-confidence when he left Anshui County gradually deflated at this moment. He thought of the two thousand taels of silver that he regarded as a huge sum of money. If he threw it in Fengjing, he might not even be able to get it back.

"Why, are you too expensive?" Yaren suddenly sneered, with a condescending indifference on his face, "At first glance, he looks like a country bumpkin from a small place. He looks poor from head to toe. Do you really think Fengjing is the same as your small place? This is Kyoto , I am under the emperor’s feet. If I have no money, I will live in a ruined temple with beggars. Don’t waste my time.”

After saying that, he pushed Zheng Ruqian to the ground with a slap, stepped over his chest and left.
