Chapter 275 Arriving in the Capital
Because they were going to the capital, Qi Xingyun and his party did not stay anywhere else for the next few days. The carriage drove all the way to the capital and finally arrived at the capital on the afternoon of the third day.
Da Mao, San Mao, Simao and others who received the news from Qi Xingyun in advance were waiting at the city gate. Qi Xingyun also sent someone to inform them of the arrival of the convoy.
When the Da Mao brothers received the news that grandma and sister were coming to the capital with brother Xingyun, they were stunned for a long time. In the past, grandma and the others always complained that the journey was too long and took too much time. They brothers had been in the capital for several years, but they had never been here. Why did they suddenly come here with brother Xingyun?
Although the brothers were confused, they were very happy. As soon as they received the news that their grandmother and sister were coming, they asked someone to clean up their living place, take out the quilts to dry in the sun, and open the doors and windows of the room for ventilation.
As Qi Xingyun's convoy drove slowly and got closer and closer to the city gate, Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er could no longer contain their excitement. They impatiently lifted the curtains and leaned against the windows to look out.
"Oh my, Xiaocao'er, look, that city wall is really towering into the clouds! And that city gate is so much bigger than the one in Pingjiang County! The words engraved on it are all red, it's so much more beautiful than the ones in Pingjiang County!" Old Mrs. Yang's face was full of excitement. She pointed her finger to the front and introduced it to Xiaocao'er in a torrent of words.
"That's right, grandma, you are absolutely right! This city gate and city wall are indeed tall and big, completely different from those in Pingjiang County!" Xiao Cao'er looked in the direction pointed by Old Lady Yang, his eyes flashing with curiosity and surprise, and he echoed the old lady's words.
I finally had the chance to take a close look at the ancient capital. It was similar to what was shown in TV dramas, but this was real.
Just as the two were watching with great interest, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "Grandma, sister, you are finally here, we have been waiting for you here for many days!" It turned out that Simao Yima rushed to the car window first, shouting at the top of his voice.
"Oh my, it's my precious grandson Simao! Why are you so silly, kid? Why do you have to wait here for several days? You are so stupid! Can't you just stay at home and wait?" Although Old Mrs. Yang complained about Simao, her wrinkled face was already full of smiles, and she was so happy in her heart.
"Fourth brother." Xiao Cao called excitedly.
Qi Xingyun rode on the side and said, “Get in the car first and go home later. It’s inconvenient here with so many people and cars.”
"Grandma, sister, brother Xingyun." Damao.
"Grandma, sister, Brother Xingyun." Sanmao.
"Okay, okay, Da Mao, San Mao, get in the car quickly."
"Big brother, third brother."
"Grandma, we finally got you. Let's go home first. I have cleaned up the house." As the eldest brother, Damao said to Grandma Yang.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's go home first. There are too many people here." said Old Mrs. Yang.
"Isn't it? This is the capital city." Xiao Cao'er replied.
"Oh, it's so late, and the shops on the street are still open. In our county, they have already closed."
"Wow, what kind of shop is that? It's brightly lit."
Old Lady Yang is like the old lady in Dream of the Red Chamber: she is like the old lady entering the Grand View Garden, and finds everything she sees curious.
"Grandma, after you have rested well, I will take you and your sister out for a walk. There will be a lot of things to see that are not available in our county town." Damao said.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll take a few days off. My old bones have been sitting on the train for so many days in a row, and I don't want to sit on it any more." The old lady said while looking out.
"It's really lively, much more lively than our county town."
"Isn't it lively? This is the capital city, grandma. When you've had a good rest, we'll go out for a walk and have a good look. We'll also buy some things to give back to everyone." Xiao Cao'er responded.
"Okay, okay, okay, the things you buy can't be too expensive. There are so many people in the village when we go back. If the things are expensive, how much silver will it cost?" Old Mrs. Yang was as distressed as ever.
"Don't worry, grandma. We can buy some small things or cakes. It won't cost much money." Xiao Cao'er said softly to Grandma Yang.
"That's good, that's a good idea. You have to help grandma remember it." Old Mrs. Yang also whispered to her granddaughter.
Qi Xingyun, who was riding a horse beside them, heard the conversation between the two and the corners of his mouth curved.
Because of Qi Xingyun's identity, there were countless eyes watching him as soon as he entered the city gate, so he separated from Xiao Cao'er halfway and agreed to visit her again in two days.
Before they parted, Old Lady Yang did not forget to say to Qi Xingyun: "Come over when you are free. We haven't prepared any gifts for Mr. Zheng's house yet."
"Got it, grandma." Qi Xingyun said and separated from them.
