The envoys from the four countries of India, just like the Hu people who came to Chang'an City from the Western Regions during the Tang Dynasty, involuntarily knelt down and kissed the earth under their feet excitedly

At this moment, two teenagers of twelve or thirteen years of age came out of the asphalt road on the right, riding a kind of two-wheeled cart under them, which looked like they were playing acrobatics;

As their feet continued to pedal on the pedals, the two-wheeled car went fast, and the two teenagers laughed happily, in addition to the speed of the race, they also let go of the grip in front of them from time to time, raised their hands in a flying shape, got carried away, and drove in the opposite direction.

Xie Qian shouted from afar: "Whose children are you? Dare not follow the traffic rules and drive in the opposite direction, and the speeding officer wants to send you to the Five Cities Terracotta Division"

Before Xie Ting finished shouting, the two teenagers shouted "oops" continuously, as if they were being discovered as thieves, they hurriedly turned the car around and almost bumped into each other, to see that Xie Qian didn't really mean to chase them, and drove away

Xie Qian turned around with a smile and said, "Let the ambassadors laugh, two and a half old boys, it is inevitable that they are a little wild, but fortunately they did not collide with the envoys." ”

Adil and the others, who were kneeling and kissing the earth, had their mouths half open, looking at the two Great Qin teenagers in the distance, as if they had seen aliens, and they didn't notice what Xie Qian said.

Douglas and Carter were also curious, looked at the two teenagers in the distance and asked, "Lord Xie, are these two teenagers riding a wooden horse made in your country?" ”

"I, Daqin, call this a bicycle, it's already very common in Beijing, and you'll understand it after your envoys enter the city."

Adil didn't want to take the car anymore, they had to walk on the smooth asphalt road with their feet, and some of the entourage couldn't help but take off their shoes and walk barefoot into the capital on the asphalt road.

In front of the magnificent China Gate, a prosperous sound came to the face. The weight of these envoys is only the outward treatment of the plains. Their qualifications were not enough for Great Qin to clear the city in advance.

It was only when their chariot drove into the city that two rows of Qin troops were sent to open the way in front.

"British, Portuguese, Otessa, Chettisgar, Calkend, and Ximeng envoys entered Beijing to meet the Great Qin Emperor!"

The Qin army that opened the road in front kept shouting loudly, and the people on the street got out of the way one after another, and Douglas and others entered the Zhonghua Gate with complicated and excited feelings.

But I saw that the pedestrians on the street were weaving, the pavilions on both sides were towering, the rows were one after another, the flower stands were connected, and the tassels were fluttering. There are many shops.

Some buildings are six or seven floors high, looking at them like a mountain, and people in bright clothes can be seen everywhere upstairs, drinking and drinking tea, and talking;

On the opposite street, the traffic is busy and endless, but when you look into it from a small port, it is so neat. It seems to be spotless.

On the clear Qinhuai River, the painting boat is leisurely, drifting with the waves, and the balcony of the river house sticks out. Always surrounded by flowers, the fragrance is permeated, and the sheng song and man dance are moving.

When walking through the towering "Shengshi Hualou", the clear glass windows. The eaves wipe the clouds, the wind blows the painting corners, and the golden bells tinkle. Like a voice from a fairyland.

The garden downstairs is shaded, the rockery pool water is decorated with water, the graceful and suave scholars come with beauty, chant to the wine, the attitude is flying, it is fascinating, the beauty in beautiful costumes, or singing with the piano, or dancing, the graceful posture is like the heavenly immortals.

Douglas and others can't describe the scene they see in words, the endless prosperity, the comfort and confidence everywhere, which makes people sincerely sigh: this is not the world, this is heaven.

All the envoys were placed in the Nanjing West Post House, but they had to wait to be received by the Great Qin Emperor.

The emperor of the most powerful and prosperous empire in this world cannot be seen if you want to, you have to go through many procedures, and in the end, it depends on whether the Great Qin Emperor is in a good mood or not.

The next day, Xie Qian first took the six envoys to the "Shengshi Hualou" to climb the height to overlook the scenery of Nanjing, and set up a banquet on the top floor to entertain the envoys of the six countries.

Then Xie Qian took them to the painting boat on the Qinhuai River to taste tea and listen to music, and felt the customs of the Qinhuai River.

From the third day, the main event officially began, Xie Qian took them to visit Nanjing Taixue and Nanjing Gongyuan, when he heard that the nearly 30,000 examination houses in Nanjing Gongyuan were all for the preparation of the imperial examination, Douglas was a little shocked and trembled.

"Lord Xie, how many talents can you Daqin select at one time?"

"Haha, Mr. Douglas, if you are interested in knowing, you might as well stay in Nanjing City for a few more months, next March, it happens to be the year of my Daqin once every three years, commonly known as the spring curtain, when Mr. Douglas can see the grand scene at that time.

By the way, I forgot to tell Douglas, a few years ago, due to the war in the north, a large number of people moved south, in order to balance the north and the south, my Daqin's spring curtain is actually divided into two lists, north and south, and the north and the south are separated."

Xie Qian tirelessly promoted China's imperial examination system, of course, because of Qin Mu's instructions, this set of things, at first glance, is very scientific, at least much better than the hereditary system, the election system, Qin Mu has the intention to transplant the imperial examination system to Europe, as for the reason, hehe, it is not enough for outsiders.

After that, Xie Qian took them to visit a series of colleges and factories such as the Foreign Affairs Academy, the Army Academy, the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Institute of Science and Technology, the Longjiang Shipyard, and the Hanyan Painting and Embroidery Workshop, which made Douglas and others lose sleep every night, which was too shocking!

In the Pujia Palace, Yun Qiao'er was triumphant, and described the news she had inquired about to Qin Mu in a vivid voice.

She was wearing a mink jacket on her upper body, outlining her small waist and bending her waist, and her face was radiant. "Brother Qin, you know, when those foreign envoys saw the electric lights suddenly turn on, they were so frightened that they all knelt down and knelt on the ground!

They didn't dare to blink when they looked at the electric light, some shouted God, some murmured that God said there should be light, and there was light

Hee-hee-ha, they think that this light is brought by God, so stupid, Brother Qin, you are their God, well-huh, God said that there should be light, and the world will shine hehe-hee-ha"

Yun Qiao'er is not the material for storytelling, and halfway through speaking, she first laughed softly and fell into Qin Mu's arms, her voice intermittent, sandwiched by strings of silver bell-like laughter.

Qin Mu put his arm around her little waist, let her twist and turn, and said with a smile: "Girl, be careful not to laugh out of breath." ”

"Hee hee won't, by the way, Brother Qin, I also heard that those people can't even use chopsticks, I'm curious, so how do they usually eat?"

"It's a shame that you're still inquiring about the bag in our palace, haven't you heard of this?" Qin Mu scratched her little nose and made her wrinkle her nose and hide.

Yun Qiao'er was a little frustrated, and finally defended unwillingly: "I've played a lot, who would have thought that there are still people in this world who don't know how to use chopsticks, I thought they would use them, so I didn't ask." ”

"Hahaha, okay, one day I will issue a decree that people all over the world will have to use chopsticks, and whoever dares not to use them will not be allowed to eat."

This idea was too much in line with Yun Qiao'er's mind, and she immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Brother Qin, this is good, this idea is too good, don't wait for the future, I'll help you sharpen the ink, you will issue an edict quickly"

"Ugh"

"What's wrong, Brother Qin?"

"Ahem, well, this one, we have to give them an adaptation process, girl, now that the decree is issued immediately, won't they all starve to death?"

Yun Qiao'er thought about it, threw down the ink strip and threw it into Qin Mu's arms, ouch, this girl is not afraid of falling, this hand "girl, I haven't washed my hands after taking the ink strip, why are you touching my face?"

Yun Qiao'er, who was rolling in his arms, hurriedly raised her upper body, looked at his face, and suddenly laughed like crazy, and the slender jade pointed at her face, and her fingers were soft and bent because of laughter.

"You, get me a mirror." Qin Mu angrily pointed at the palace maid who served the hall and shouted.

Did the palace elephant just come to the eldest aunt, or did her cheeks hurt, her cheeks twitched, and she seemed to endure the pain very hard.

"Hee-hee-ha-ha" Yun Qiao in his arms laughed as if he was about to lose his breath.

Qin Mu knew that it must have been the black hand that this girl had scribbled on her face just now, and the graphics drawn were probably very "artistic".

Syllable! Qin Mu raised his hand and landed on her buttocks, "Okay, you stinky girl, my big Qin's face has ruined you!" ”

"Oh, Brother Qin, don't fight, your image has never been as good as it is now."

Syllable! "Hahaha"
