Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 123 First Arrival in the Capital
On this day, everyone finally arrived at the capital. Bianliang City, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is also called Tokyo and Bianjing. The entire capital is divided into two parts: the outer city and the inner city.

When everyone arrived at the city of Bianjing, Li Ce rode on a horse and looked up at the tall city gate. They walked through the south gate. The gate here is called Nanxun gate, which is more than ten meters high, and it is easy to see at a glance. A majestic feeling.There is an arched gate in the middle, and two arched gates next to it. The gate is more than ten meters high. There is a two-story tower on the gate. You can see the patrolling soldiers. It is magnificent and magnificent.

"Hey, the capital city is full of grandeur, even the city gate is more imposing than ours!" Li Ce laughed and said, "Let's go, enter the city!"

Guan Zhen and Di Qing were also shocked by the tall towers of Bianjing City. They didn't realize until Li Ce urged them. Is this the legendary capital city?It's really majestic.

Passing through the city gate is a north-south customs clearance avenue, which starts from Nanxun Gate, goes north through the Suzaku Gate in the inner city, and leads directly to Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace. The whole street is more than ten miles long and more than 200 meters wide.

Entering Zhuquemen is a street called "Royal Street". This street is more than 300 meters long. There are also countless stalls. At a glance, there are countless fresh flowers and fruits, rich clothes and jade food, fish, shrimps, insects and birds. It really is the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, a dream of a thousand years... What is prosperity and prosperity?If you have never been to Bianjing, don’t say you have seen prosperity.

From the perspective of Li Ce, a later generation, he couldn't help but be amazed after seeing it. He didn't expect such a prosperous metropolis in ancient times. No wonder the history textbooks said that Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the most prosperous metropolis in the world at that time.At that time, my understanding of the word "prosperity" was just that the ancients had never seen the world. It was only when he saw it with his own eyes and experienced it that he deeply realized that kind of prosperity. It seems that the book is right...

It's a pity that such a prosperous country has repeatedly failed in foreign wars?Isn't prosperity really the same as being strong?Li Ce secretly sighed.

A few people got off the horses and walked all the way to watch the flowers. It was really endless excitement and countless scenery.There are all kinds of snacks on the side of the street, so greedy that Guan's mouth is watering, his stomach seems to be a bottomless pit, after eating so much, he can still eat it, but Li Ce had to throw him some money and asked him to buy it himself.

The three of them stopped and watched for half an hour. Li Ce saw some jewelry sellers on the street, so he wanted to buy a bracelet for Yu Xian'er.

When I came to the booth, I saw all kinds of jewelry on the table, including gold and silver hairpins, pearl necklaces, and jade bracelets.

Li Ce picked up a good-quality jade bracelet and asked, "How do you sell this?"

"Hey, you really have a good eye. This is a high-quality jadeite bracelet. Look at the luster, the texture, and there is no flaw." The stall owner hurriedly introduced it enthusiastically.

Li Ce still knows some jade. The quality of this bracelet is really good, but I don't know if this ancient man would kill people. He put down the bracelet and said calmly, "Then how to sell it?"

"You bought it as a gift for your wife, right? So, 80 taels of silver." The stall owner pretended to be generous.

"Fuck, 80 taels?" Li Ce couldn't hold back, and burst out with a foul sentence, you want 80 taels for a bracelet?Why don't you grab it? Although this bracelet is of good quality, it is not a rare treasure. It will only cost a few thousand yuan in future generations. You really took me for a fool. It seems that the ancients were not honest.

For buying and selling, the key is to bargain. Li Ce turned around and left. According to his experience, the stall owner would definitely stop him.

Sure enough, just two steps away, the stall owner couldn't help shouting: "Guest officer, stay a step."

Li Ce turned around pretending to be reluctant, and the stall owner apologized and said with a smile: "I think the young master really wants it too, we can discuss the price."

Li Ce smiled inwardly, and was about to open his mouth to bargain, but at this moment he snatched it up alone, picked up the bracelet just now, looked at it, put it on his hand, and gestured while looking at it.

Cheng Yaojin came out on the way, who is this?Li Ce had no choice but to stand aside and wait.

The person who came was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, he was extremely handsome, what's more, his pair of delicate hands were like lotus root in snow, I'm afraid some women would feel inferior, this bracelet was actually very harmonious on his hands.

Li Ce thought to himself, he had long heard that there was a trend of broken sleeves in ancient times, could this young man be gay?How can a man also like this thing...

Just as he was thinking, another son came up, this one was a little older than the one just now, and he was also handsome and handsome.Seeing the older one coming, the younger one was excited, and showed off the bracelet to him, "How is it? Does it look good?"

When the little boy opened his mouth, his voice was very clear and clear. Li Ce was taken aback for a moment, how could it sound like a girl's voice? He couldn't help but look at the little boy when he thought about it, and he really found that he didn't have an Adam's apple. The hair between the temples is also very soft, it turned out to be a girl.

The eldest son seemed to spoil the girl disguised as a man, he smiled at her and said, "It looks good."

The young master was even more delighted when he got the affirmation, "Then pay the money." She casually said to the eldest son while playing with the bracelet.

"How much is this?" The eldest son first smiled at the stall owner, and then asked.

As soon as Li Ce saw this eldest son, he felt an indescribable aura about him, elegant and generous, which is hard to describe. If this man was standing in the crowd, you would be able to see him first.Seeing him asking the stall owner, his actions and speech showed excellent upbringing.

Alas, the people in the capital are different. Any son of a noble family has such a temperament. It is really a place that supports a person. Li Ce couldn't help sighing.

The stall owner originally planned to negotiate the price with Li Ce, but now that he saw a new customer, he couldn't care about Li Ce, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you really have a good eye, this is a very good jadeite bracelet , look at this luster, this texture..." But it was the same rhetoric just now.

Li Ce gave him a contemptuous look, you say that when you see feelings...

The young man dressed as a man was even more delighted to hear such a boast from the stall owner. She couldn't help jumping up, showing a sweet smile, showing her little daughter's posture.

"As long as you are 80 taels." The stall owner stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Hey, it's exactly 80 taels." The big boy took out four ingots of silver ingots and handed them to the stall owner.

Li Ce saw it directly, local tyrants don't bring bargaining, even if you have money, you can't be so capricious!

The stall owner obviously didn't expect that the young man was so straightforward, he hesitated for a moment, and quickly reached out to take it, his mouth from ear to ear.

"Guest officer, look, I still have a fine jade pendant, this nobile..." The stall owner saw that he had caught the bully, and hurriedly started selling his other jewelry.

Shit, I didn't plan to buy it here when I met such a local tyrant, Li Ce had no choice but to take a deep look at the eldest son, shook his head and left.

The eldest son noticed that Li Ce was looking at him, so he also looked up at Li Ce and smiled at him.

Li Ce smiled slightly and nodded at him, then turned around and left. People in the capital are indeed rich and powerful, but they seem to have a relatively low IQ...
