Xu Panlong asked Qian Xingqi to sit down first, and then sat back to his original seat. He said calmly: "My father has been planning for Mr. Qian for a long time, so he just waited for good news." As he said that, he looked at Master Qian and didn't want to say more.

Qian Xingqi looked at Xu Panlong with gratitude and nodded, but did not notice Master Qian. Suddenly, he heard Master Qian ask, "Mr. Qian, where are you living now?"

It was like hearing a stranger talking, Qian Xingqi woke up in a daze. He did not dare to neglect anything, so he hurriedly turned to look at Master Qian, "living in Wanquan Inn."

Master Qian said 'oh' and quickly reminded him, "That is the permanent place for people in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and there are many brave soldiers, so you have to change the place." As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted to the door: "Deng Xiaoliu!".

Then there was a response outside, "Oh!", and the door was suddenly pushed open. A man of thirty-five or six years old, wearing simple and quick eyes, walked in with a smiling face. He saluted in a crisp voice: "Master Qian! What are your instructions?"

Master Qian was not surprised and said sternly: "If you find a good place near the Gongyuan, all expenses will be considered as the young master!" Xu Panlong did not speak, Master Qian's words will naturally count.

Qian Xiaoliu's eyes slanted, and when he saw Xu Panlong's voice was not supported, he bowed and nodded, "Okay! I promise to let Mr. Qian move over within three days." Xu Panlong and Mr. Qian did not doubt it, thinking that he would do it.

"You take Mr. Qian around and take a look, and introduce the things to pay attention to, and you must accompany you throughout the journey! Your benefits will inevitably come afterwards."

As soon as Master Qian finished speaking, Deng Xiaoliu replied humbly: "I don't want any benefits. As long as Mr. Xu Er can take care of him on weekdays, I will be grateful!" As he said that, nodded to Xu Panlong, waiting for his right words.

How could Xu Panlong not know what he wanted? He smiled and said, "It depends on how things are done. I won't treat you badly." As he said that, he closed his fan and knocked his left hand a few times. Obviously, he didn't take it seriously and looked like he looked down upon him.

Deng Xiaoliu was so happy that he was full of joy, "I won't let Mr. Xu down!".

Master Qian turned around and said to Qian Xingqi: "Young Master has something to do, Mr. Qian, you can take the lead!"

Qian Xingqi hurriedly bowed to Xu Panlong, "Young Master Xu! I'm saying goodbye, I'm not grateful!" After saying that, he greeted him again and left slowly. Deng Xiaoliu also bowed and nodded to Xu Panlong and followed him away.

There are seven city gates in Zhongdu City, from west to east to north, Yongshengmen and Xuanwumen. The south is Zhuquemen, the center of the gate is the central axis of Zhongdu, a straight Zhengyang Street leads directly to Huangji Gate, the main gate of the imperial palace. The right side of Zhuquemen is Chongwu Gate, Xizhi Street leads directly to Yongshengmen, Liwenmen on the left, Dongzhi Street leads directly to Xuanwumen. The east is Chaoyang Gate, and a Chongyang Street leads directly to Zhengximen.

A street in front of Huangji Gate is called Suning Street, which leads directly to the two streets of Dongzhi and Xizhi. You can see Huangji Gate from afar. Common people can only walk through, and only royal relatives and first-rank officials can ride horses, otherwise the imperial guards on duty will be arrested and beaten and then sent to Shuntian Mansion for crimes. The palace takes the center of Huangji Gate as the central axis. The first gate is the Meridian Gate. There is a large square in front of the Meridian Gate. The ministers are waiting here during the morning court. After passing the Meridian Gate, you can see the emperor. Therefore, the Meridian Gate represents the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The court officials petitioned in the square in front of the Meridian Gate. After passing the Meridian Gate, there is a Jinshui Bridge, and the two-story bluestone steps on the Jinshui Bridge are two-story bluestone steps on the Jinshui Bridge, which is the Zhengji Hall. The morning court, the grand ceremony and grand ceremony, the emperor's ascension and wedding are held here. There are many wing rooms on both sides of the Zhengji Hall and two independent small courtyards with more than ten rooms.

The east is called Jingxinyuan and the west is called Ruyixuan. Ruyixuan later became the office of the cabinet yamen. Walking forward, you will see Qianren Gate, the main gate of the palace city. When you enter Qianren Gate, you will see Qianren Palace, the emperor's bedroom, and the left is Chengyan Palace. There is a small gate called Xianlemen and the left is Jingxin Garden. Not far is Jingxin Garden, and the right is Qinzheng Hall. There is a small gate called Xianrightmen and the right is called Yiyoumen and the palace city, and next to it is Ruyixuan. The queen's bedroom is Kun'an Palace, the left is the East Six Palaces, Chengqian Palace, Duanhua Palace, Shouquan Palace, Yuqing Palace, Chonghe Palace, Changxing Palace. The West Six Palaces are Yifang Palace, Ruian Palace, Yongchun Palace, Wenqin Palace, Danyang Palace, and Jingzhao Palace. It is the residence of the emperor's concubines, and behind is the Imperial Garden. Of course, there are many smaller palace courtyards. There are no need to introduce them one by one. Most people in the palace will get lost when they enter, and just know some important things.

Further to the right of Ruyixuan is the Interior Office. There are many craftsmen, including paper maker, backing maker, folding maker, calendar cutter, etc. These craftsmen enter and exit Xihuamen after dawn and before dark every day. They cannot stay in the palace, and can only walk around within the scope of the Interior Office, otherwise they will be caught and beaten to death. Therefore, they know very little about the matter of the Interior Office.

To the left of Jingxin Garden is Hanlin Academy and Wenyuan Pavilion. It is a place that literati yearn for. It gathers one of the most talented people in the country. It has a complete collection of books and the officials are proud to stay here, stay away from right and wrong and concentrate on learning. There is a Liyi Garden here where the prince teaches, and there are children of royal relatives and nobles to accompany them to study. This is a symbol of honor. Once the prince succeeds to the throne, his playmates will have high officials and generous salaries, but only a few people. If a person is not smart and misbehaves, he will have no chance.

There are many palace courtyards on the left and right of the palace city, which are left for young princes to live in. On the one hand, it is not convenient for the prince to stay in the palace city, and on the other hand, there is no royal palace to live in these side halls. There are also some eunuchs in charge of seals, and the residences of the nannies in the palace who are favored by the empress and the imperial concubines. There are many rooms here, and some eunuchs and nannies of some forces will have one, but they do not live forever. When they are free, they live in the courtyard they purchased by themselves in the inner city.

In the northwest corner of the imperial city, Emperor Zhaowu specially built a grand attic for the civil and military officials who followed him to fight against Shulu. He named Shulu Pavilion. There were names and titles of founding fathers. In the fifteenth year of Zhaowu, the portraits of the founding princes were painted in the attic. There were 16 dukes, thirty-eight maids, and there were also fifty-four masters, seventy-six sons, and two hundred and seventeen male names were scrolled down the attic.

With Deng Xiaoliu's company, Qian Xingqi wanted to see an important part of the inner city. After leaving the Risheng Teahouse, it is Chongyang Street, connecting Zhengximen and Chaoyangmen. Walking east along Chongyang Street is Zhengyang Street. You can see the imperial city in the middle to the north, and walking three miles north is Suning Street, which is opposite the imperial gate of the imperial city.

When Qian Xingqi stood far away from Huangji Gate and looked into the imperial city through the gate, he was filled with reverence. If he could enter Zhengji Hall, what a great honor it would be. He had lost his imagination for a moment. Deng Xiaoliu didn't understand the state of mind of scholars and was still muttering in his heart.

"Have you entered the imperial city?" In fact, Qian Xingqi did not have much hope, just asked casually.

Then Deng Xiaoliu snorted lightly, "It's five or six times a year, but I just entered from Xihua Gate. This Huangji Gate is not something that ordinary people can get close to."

Qian Qixing knew very well that the Huangji Sect could only enter when there were major events in the court, such as the New Emperor's Ascension Ceremony, the Emperor's Birthday, the General's Expedition, the National Mourning, etc. On weekdays, they could only enter through four small gates symmetrical on both sides. But it is amazing that a commoner can enter the imperial city. "Can you tell me?"

Deng Xiaoliu was excited and also the capital to show off, and he replied proudly: "Then let me talk?"

Qian Qixing nodded quickly, "Have you entered the Zhengji Hall?"

Deng Xiaoliu nodded suddenly, "Only once, the Zhengji Palace was a small repairman, and I sent him the scraps. The emperor's throne could only be seen from afar and dared not get close. He was afraid that he would be killed if he was not careful. It was the biggest hall I had ever seen in my life."

Qian Qixing didn't find it funny. Rushi definitely didn't dare to do anything randomly. Maybe he was not as good as him. "Have you seen any surprises?"

Deng Xiaoliu did not think his request was too much, and he couldn't help but aroused his great interest. "Of course it was Shulu Pavilion. People always heard that it was a place that officials yearned for, but it was just dozens of portraits and some names. But the decoration was first-class, and I have never seen anything more luxurious than it."

Qian Qixing couldn't help but say 'oh'. Shulu Pavilion had heard it for a long time, and it was also a place he longed for, but he could only imagine that he could not see it in person. And the person who seemed average in front of him, would be able to witness it with his own eyes, and it would not be in vain for his life. When will he enter Shulu Pavilion and take a look, he dare not think about it, but he is confident that he can do it, and he must do it.

"The Shulu Pavilion, which Taizu of this dynasty built with all his heart to follow the heroes who have been through life and death and have made many military achievements, is not comparable to the world. It is naturally the benchmark in the world. Otherwise, who would spend his whole life, would have to squeeze into the Lulu List." Qian Qixing was extremely excited when he said this, and had reached the point of stiffness in his whole body.

But he still said eloquently: "It's not as simple as dozens of portraits, it's the sixteenth founding duke and the thirty-eighth founding maids. As for the Baron of Bozi, I don't know how many of them are." He said, looking at Deng Xiaoliu with some flaunts.

"Oh! I didn't expect that the master remembered so clearly, so I just took a rough look."

"Since the first-class title of Hongshi Dynasty, the second-class title of second-class title of third-class title, and the third-class title of third-class title, only the founding dukes and marquis can inherit the inheritance. The only glory of the titles that were later awarded is that the name can enter Shulu Pavilion and be incense for generations. Except for the founding Lords, no one has ever been to Shulu Pavilion. At the beginning, there were people who opposed it, and they all slowly accepted it under the heavy pressure of Emperor Hongshi. Isn't it a kind of proud capital to stay in Shulu Pavilion? After becoming a habit, I don't say the name into Shulu Pavilion, but to say that I have been on the Shulu List. It has become a trend to be able to be on the Shulu List by the civil servants of the Yuanhui Dynasty. It has become a trend and can be ranked first-class. The title of the title is the capital of self-proclaimed." Although Qian Qixing is usually dull, he talks endlessly when he talks about what he is interested in. It is really! People have both yin and yang, and it is not something that anyone can tell clearly.

"So that's how it is!" Although Deng Xiaoliu was not interested, he did not forget to echo.

"Emperor Hongshi formulated that only military merits could be granted a Duke and Marquis, thus eliminating the path of civil servants to be granted a marquis. Only military officers had hope of being granted a marquis, and now there are even fewer marquises." Qian Qixing was a little sad while his words.

"If I remember correctly, the last one to squeeze in the deer list was Cao Cao, who exhausted all his efforts to build the outer city, and was just an earl. Without military merit, he did not have the title of Duke and Marquis, which shows how difficult it is to be named Duke and Marquis." Deng Xiaoliu did not forget to say what he knew.

"Yes! It's not easy to be a second-class Xiu Wen Bo! It's not something I can think of!" After a series of sighs, Qian Qixing had not yet come back to his senses, his eyes trembled as if he was crazy.

"With the assistant Cao, you will definitely be awarded the title and the prime minister. I will congratulate you here first! You will have to take care of the villain at that time." Deng Xiaoliu did not forget to flatter him, with a complimentary villain's face.

Qian Xingqi was sober, how could he forget it because of a word from the other party? He just smiled proudly and nodded heavily, "If you can accomplish such a good thing, you will naturally not forget you!"

Deng Xiaoliu quickly bowed 90 degrees, "Thank you, sir! Even if you have any questions in the future, I will spare no effort!", but he was thinking in his heart, is this possible? This is just a flattery, and the other party is just empty checks and does not count them!

Qian Qixing, who came to his senses, looked at the depths of Huangji Gate and sighed a long time. He walked along the wall of the imperial city with great enthusiasm to the east and then back. He looked at the imperial guards standing on the walls, and did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he went south along Xizhi Street and unknowingly came to Baiye Street and Xingye Street near Baiye Street and Xingye Street.

This is the capital sales nest in the capital. Deng Xiaoliu specially took him to a tall archway with conspicuous decorations, but there were very few people coming and going. "Master! This is Sang Rixuan, who is famous in the capital. It is now during the day and it is lively at night!"

Qian Qixing couldn't help but say 'oh', not sure whether he was perfunctory or not interested at all.

Deng Xiaoliu didn't care what he thought, and continued with great interest, "Gu Yuanyuan, who is one of the five beauties in the capital, is the other four beauties, and they are the families of high-ranking officials. It is rare to see them. Should I see them?"

After learning from Risheng Teahouse, Qian Qixing couldn't help but feel scared. The consumption inside must be very expensive. Besides, he didn't have much money on him. He quickly waved his hand, "No need! Just a brief introduction for the boy."

Deng Xiaoliu thought in his heart that he was not a rich man, and he couldn't bear to give up money. Even if he went in, he could only stand by and accompany him. "There were only Sang Rixuan who sold money in the four major gold houses in Beijing, because it was the highest-end place of music and sex, and he only sold his skills but not his body. No matter how rampant the royal relatives and nobles dared not act rashly, because its backstage was too hard."

Qian Qixing said 'oh' and asked in disbelief: "Who has such a deterrent power?"

Deng Xiaoliu pointed to the sky with his right index finger, "You can only understand it but not express it. Master, please think about it yourself!" Then he said: "Paper Gold Tower, Laixian Pavilion and Pianwufang are different. Officials are prohibited from entering, but they are useless in recent years. If someone deliberately harms you and falls into the abyss all at once, I advise Master not to be lucky."

"Who are the bosses of these three companies? Do you know?" Qian Qixing has a series of whys.

"I only know that Zhijinlou belongs to Duke Song, so the other two families are not sure. It's like Zhiliao Pavilion, which sells world news, and I don't know who the boss is behind it. In this year, who would be so stupid that he would have made a move and the disaster would have fallen on his head." Deng Xiaoliu did not hide his own personal information, which was a warning to Qian Qixing.

Qian Qixing thought about it, he really couldn't afford to play here, so he would still stay away from this place of failure.

"In fact, there are two good places in the capital that officials can go to at will. Should you go and see it?" Deng Xiaoliu's purpose was to make Qian Qixing happy and did not forget to introduce it hard.

Qian Qixing just looked at him without making a sound or nodding. Deng Xiaoliu observed that people had a unique eye and said tentatively: "Or why I take the master to see it and recognize the place. I will come again next time."

This was exactly what Qian Qixing thought and nodded, "Then go and recognize the door?"

"Okay! I'm walking in front, Master, can you follow me?" Seeing Qian Qixing nodded, he took a step forward, looking back from time to time, and not to get too far away.

First, we came to a row of eaves with steam, and two large cloth curtains were hung on the gate, and people entering and leaving lifted the curtains. From time to time, people went in and out, which was quite lively. Deng Xiaoliu did not forget to introduce, "This is the Youran Pavilion, a place where rich people take a bath. Everyone is waiting for them when they enter, and the most basic thing is rubbing their backs and massage. If you have special hobbies, you can go to the private room to massage and take advantage of the women, but you can't do it randomly, so naturally the consumption is much more expensive."

Qian Qixing was not interested in this and felt that there was no need to spend this in vain. It would be better to make a meal. Deng Xiaoliu seemed to see what he was thinking. He led him to continue to walk in front of the archway one or two floors, and wrote 'All banquet'. The door was decorated in luxury and the paint was painted. There were four waiters on the left and right in front of the door. As long as one came, one waiter would greet him and one was added, followed by eight, always keeping eight for auspicious numbers.

Qian Qixing heard people say something in his hometown, and couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that this is a famous all-round banquet. It's really better to see it at first sight than to hear it!"

"Yes! It's a waste of time for officials to come to Beijing to have a banquet without having a banquet. What they eat is not only delicious food, but more importantly, the people are of high quality." Deng Xiaoliu did not say the words afterwards. He was not generous today, and he would be the same in the future...

Qian Qixing just smiled, not much money on his body, and he was even more embarrassed when he went in, and said with a stiff expression: "Is that right? It's a pity that I didn't bring enough money today, otherwise I would have to enjoy it."

"Then wait for the next time, I will take the master to another place to take a look." As he said that, he led the way without waiting for Qian Qixing to respond.

Chapter completed!
