Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Bao Zheng got on the road, he saw many pedestrians and vendors along the way and had to slow down.  Although Bao Zheng had not entered Bianjing at this time, he could already feel its prosperity.  The closer Bao Zheng and his group got to Kaifeng, the more pedestrians there were on the road. When Bao Zheng saw the tall Bianjing city wall, he had to dismount and walk.

    At the gate of the city, there are many forbidden troops, constantly checking the passers-by. As the capital of the country, Bianjing is the best place in the Song Dynasty, whether it is public security or economy, under the emperor's feet.  Bao Zheng originally had the official guide left by his father, so after the imperial army saw it, they allowed Bao Zheng and others to enter the capital.

    When Bao Zheng walked into Bianjing, he saw the city was bustling with traffic, vendors of all kinds were everywhere, and all kinds of strange products were dazzling.  It was obviously the first time for Bai Yutang and the other girls to come to Bianjing. They were so excited to see so many new things.  Zhang Yuxi and Dong Xianxian were official ladies after all, but they acted more calmly, but their faces were full of curiosity.

    With this group of women, Bao Zheng had a headache.  Women are born to love shopping. When a few girls entered the capital, they started wandering around, completely forgetting that they should first find a place to stay.

    Bao Zheng was wandering around Bianjing with the girls, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the prosperity of Bianjing.  Bianjing is located on the vast fertile land of the Central Plains. There are no mountains within the territory, but there are many rivers and lakes, belonging to the two major water systems of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River.  Thirty-two of the more famous ones include the Yellow River, Guohe River, Huiji River, and Jialu River.  Various lakes and river systems are connected, and the lake area accounts for a quarter of the city area. It is known as the Northern Water City.

    Bao Zheng was familiar with history and had his own opinions on Bianjing and Kaifeng.  Bianjing is located on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, on the western edge of the Central Plains and the North China Plain.  It borders Yanzhao to the north, Jianghuai to the south, Songyue to the west, and Qingqi to the east.  Near it is a flat plain with no danger to defend.  The key reason why it was favored by the rulers was that it was located in the economically prosperous Central Plains, with convenient transportation, which was conducive to controlling the interior and exterior.  However, it was precisely because of this capital that it was called the Weak Song Dynasty.

    Historians have three understandings of the reasons for the demise of the Song Dynasty. The first is redundant troops!  Second official redundancy!  The location of the third capital is not good!  Many people agree on the first two points, but the third point is that there is no danger to defend Kaifeng. As long as foreign powers invade, they can march straight in to the capital without hindrance.  In order to ensure the stability of the regime, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty had to continuously strengthen the protection of Bianjing. The number of forbidden troops in the capital once reached one million. Even during the Zhenzong period, there were as many as 800,000 forbidden troops stationed in Bianjing. This number  The number of people is almost the same as that of Bianjing!  All the strong soldiers from all over the country are stationed in the capital, so how can there be good soldiers and generals at the border?  Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty has always been known as the weak Song Dynasty.  The emperor of the Song Dynasty once wanted to move the capital, but because of the weak national power, it became a vicious circle and he couldn't move the capital even if he wanted to.

    When Bao Zheng was thinking about this, he saw Zhang Yuxi being a little excited.  Bao Zheng followed Zhang Yuxi's gaze and found that not far in front was Zhang Yuxi's girl Xiaoyun.  This girl came to the capital with Zhang Yao, Bao Zheng's father-in-law. At this time, she was carrying a basket and some maids, obviously out to be a comprador.

    Xiaoyun also saw Bao Zheng, Zhang Yuxi and others at a glance. She couldn't help but said with joy: "Miss! Uncle! You have come to the capital. I was still talking about it this morning, why haven't you arrived yet!  "

    Zhang Yuxi stepped forward and took Xiaoyun's hand and said: "We have just entered the city, but we met you by chance. We didn't know how to find daddy at first. Now that we see you Xiaoyun, it saves us a lot."  effort!"

    After Xiaoyun greeted everyone one by one, he saw a group of new faces like Bai Yutang.  Bao Zheng had no choice but to make some brief introductions.  Bao Zheng asked: "Xiaoyun, do you know where my parents are? My father-in-law and parents came to Bianjing together. I wonder how they are doing lately?"

    Xiaoyun chuckled and said: "Uncle! You can rest assured this time. The prince has thought about this early in the morning, and the houses for his in-laws and ours are neighbors across the wall. You all follow Xiaoyun,  You can¡¯t go wrong.¡±

    After Xiaoyun finished speaking, he should lead the way.  Everyone walked in a circuitous way on the bustling streets of the capital. After walking straight for half an hour, the streets gradually became less crowded.

    Bao Zheng knew that Bianjing must be divided into commercial areas and residential areas.  The place Xiaoyun brought him to must be filled with dignitaries, so it was much quieter.  Along the way, Bao Zheng looked at many small river pavilions. This area was fresh and elegant, and it seemed to be the most prominent area in Bianjing.

    At this time, Xiaoyun led everyone to stop in front of two adjacent courtyards.  Bao Zheng looked up and saw two plaques hanging on the two gates.  One book house, one school bag house!

    Bao Zheng thought for a moment, but then he took Zhang Yuxi to Bao Mansion first.  At this time, Bao Zheng took Dong Xianxian, Sun Ling'er and Bai Yutang,It was obviously inappropriate to go to my father-in-law's house.  Zhang Yuxi knew Bao Zheng's intentions and nodded in acquiescence.

    As soon as Bao Zheng stepped into the gate of Bao Mansion, the servants and maids who had already recognized Bao Zheng ran inside and said as they ran: "Master! Madam! The young master and the young madam have arrived at the door!"

    When Bao Zheng and others walked to the entrance of the lobby, Bao Lingyi and Mrs. Bao had already greeted them.  Bao Lingyi stepped forward with some anger and said: "Hei San'er, you really wasted a long time and made your mother and I worry for so long. You really deserve to be punished!"

    Bao Zheng scratched his head and said, "Mom and dad, we don't want the child either. But some things happened along the way, which delayed the time. Since my parents want to be punished, I'll let you and I punish you!"

    The two elders, Bao Lingyi, were just talking about it, but there was no way they would really punish him.  However, Bao Lingyi glanced at the many beauties behind Bao Zheng and Zhang Yuxi at this time, and a strange look appeared on his face.  This son has really made continuous progress since he fell into the water last time. Now he is constantly bringing a wife home, but the speed is a bit too fast!  If it continues to develop at this rate, I'm afraid Bao Mansion will have to expand to accommodate so many daughters-in-law.

    Bao Zheng looked at Bao Lingyi's expression and already knew that he was thinking wildly.  Bao Lingyi's eyes swept over the girls, but they couldn't help but feel ashamed on their faces.

    Bao Zheng broke the embarrassment with a hum and said: "Dad, these are the friends the children met on the road. They will all live in Bao Mansion from now on, which will make Bao Mansion lively and lively, so parents will not be bored in the future. As for  Xianxian and Ling'er, my parents have known each other before, so I won't introduce them. They came to the capital this time and have important matters to deal with!"

    Bao Lingyi had actually regarded Dong Xianxian as her daughter-in-law for a long time. If Zhang Yuxi and Bao Zheng hadn't had a flash marriage, Dong Xianxian would have been impatiently married into the Bao family as his daughter-in-law.  Bao Lingyi and his wife have always known about the relationship between Dong Xianxian and Bao Zheng. The two elders were very happy when Xianxian appeared in Bao Mansion today.
