Chapter 732 arrives
After more than a month, Huo Xi and his party finally set foot on the land of Kunming City, Yunnan Province.
The war in southwestern Yunnan has not stopped, although Mu Yan wanted to meet him in person, but he couldn't get away. He only sent Kan Er to lead a team of personal soldiers to meet him a hundred miles outside the city.
"This subordinate has seen the general's wife." Mu Yan's personal soldiers saluted Huo Xi.
Huo Xi smiled and stepped forward, giving a little support, "Get up, get up. Thank you for your hard work. You came all the way to meet me. Your generals are also working hard."
"Ma'am, you are too serious. It is not hard for me to wait." This is a fat job, so there is no hard work.
A group of soldiers peeked at Huo Xi. Compared to the serious general who stared at their drills every day, the smiling and considerate lady was like a **** descending.
And the lady gave them a big reward. Isn't it better than other brothers who are fighting **** battles ahead?
I don’t know if I can get such a good thing next time.
"Madam, please get in the carriage. This subordinate will **** Madam into the city." Huo Xi was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the soldiers. Does the Yunnan Mansion support people? All the way to work, this moment seems to disappear.
Kan Er rode on horseback beside Huo Xi's carriage, and told Huo Xi about Mu Yan's recent situation and the situation of Mu Mansion.
"The young master is still wise, so he guessed that the mansion would not send someone to pick up the young lady. If I hadn't waited to come, would the young lady have to enter the mansion alone? Wouldn't it be underestimated by those in the mansion and the other mansions in the city?"
Kan Er snorted, his tone quite disdainful.
Huo Xi, on the other hand, was more open-minded and comforted him: "Let's live our lives, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. Let them go. Your young master probably won't be able to stay in Yunnan for a few years."
Why bother to be idle.
Lifted the curtain of the car, and poked his head out of the car window, "Did your young master tell you how long we're going to stay in Yunnan?"
Kan Er nodded, "The young master said, we can go back to Beijing within two to three years or five years."
Huo Xi nodded, looked at Kan Er, who had become more stable, and smiled: "I said I would bring you and Li Yi's wife and children to reunite with you, but they were moved, but they didn't dare to talk to you because you didn't tell me anything." I'm going with you. What, you don't want them?"
Kan Er scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Why don't you want to. But when she married me, she knew that I would go out with the young master. Now they are settled well in the mansion, staying in the capital is better than following us outside .”
Huo Xi looked at him and smiled.
A few people from Yikan Er followed Mu Yan since they were young. They were masters and servants who were like siblings. Mu Yan also took special care of them. After they got married, Mu Yan helped to buy a yard near the Duke of Qian’s mansion to house them. The family is small.
They are not short of money, and they have servants to take care of them at home. If they serve in the mansion, their children will be taken care of by servants at home.
Staying in the capital is really better than following them around.
"Your wife asked me to bring you some things, I'm afraid I'm thinking of you."
"Don't. They didn't want to take a little. I said that this pedestrian had enough, but it didn't matter, so they packed up the package and asked us to take a little. You can't write to her."
"Hey, okay, I will listen to the young lady."
While speaking, a group of people arrived at the south gate of Kunming City.
The former Dali Kingdom in Yunnan was conquered by the Wu Dynasty. Duan Xingzhi, the last ruler of the country, was defeated and captured, and the Dali Kingdom was destroyed. The Wu Dynasty set up a province in Yunnan, with Dali as its capital.
After the Wu Dynasty fell to the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizu set up a Chengxuan Political Envoy Division in Yunnan, commanded the envoys, and changed the capital to Kunming City. Later, a large number of Han people migrated to Yunnan. So far, the Han people in Kunming have surpassed the indigenous residents.
"Kunming City was built after Lao Hou Ye was sent to Yunnan to guard it. It was built in the fifteenth year of Hongwu..."
Kan Er saw Huo Xi lifted the curtain of the car to look at the city gate with a look of interest, so he introduced it to Huo Xi.
"The one we are going to is the south gate. There are six gates in Kunming City, the north and south gates, the east gate and the west gate. Because the city looks like a turtle, it is also called the turtle city. Each gate has a gate tower, and the south gate is the tallest. The most majestic, three-story heavy house, called "Shangming Tower", is even more beautiful than the Wangjing Tower at the North Gate and the Yinchun Tower at the East Gate."
Shangming Tower, Wangjing Tower? "Good name."
"That's right, I don't understand either. The young master said that the old Hou Ye presided over the construction. He said that the old Hou Ye missed the capital when he arrived in Yunnan."
Shangming Building is three stories high, with three eaves on each floor, and a hundred feet of buildings. It is majestic and majestic. Although it is in a land of hundreds of barbarians, the city gates, walls and towers are exactly the same as those of the capital. The old Hou Ye sent him to guard and never returned to the capital. I am afraid that he really misses everything about the capital.
The soldiers at the city gate saw Kan Er leading the team into the city from a distance, and they didn't need him to pay for the card, and the gate guard soldiers respectfully saluted and let them go. Hearing that it was the wife of the eldest son of the capital who arrived in Kunming City, even the city gate officials were alarmed, and trotted over to give Huo Xi a big gift.
The burden-carrying people walking nearby, when they heard that they were from the Mu Mansion, they all stopped to salute and bowed their heads, not daring to look at them.
"Everyone in Kunming City remembers the old Hou Ye, and they are extremely respectful to the people in the Mu Mansion." Kan Er explained to Huo Xi.
Huo Xi nodded to express her understanding. The common people were so enthusiastic and even stuffed her with various local products. It was her first time entering Yunnan, and of course it wasn't because of her.
Lao Hou Ye guarded Yunnan, opened a mansion and built a city in Kunming, and moved a large number of Han people into the city to farm fields, build water conservancy, build roads and bridges, and attract businessmen to Yunnan to do business, so that the commercial roads flourished. The folk customs in Yunnan are tough, mixed with barbarians and Han people, the common people can have a good life today, thanks to the contribution of the old Hou Ye.
The old Hou Ye Mu Ying and the Mu Mansion have a prominent status in Yunnan and are respected and loved by the common people.
When the people along the road heard that it was the carriage of the Mu Mansion, they all stopped to salute, and stuffed all kinds of things and local products into their hands, which made Huo Xi quite emotional.
No wonder the emperor wanted to keep Mu Yan and his only son Xiao Yuer in Beijing as a hostage. With hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, a province's military administration and people's livelihood are in charge, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local people only recognize the Mu family and don't know the emperor. secure.
A group of people walked along the main road of the city to the gate of Mu Mansion.
Mu's Mansion was formerly known as Xipinghou's Mansion, and the regulations built were the Marquis's Mansion. The gate of the mansion is still four-column and three-bay, built on the foundation of seven steps. Show the identity and authority of the owner.
Above the gate of Guanfu, the plaque of "Qianguo Gongfu" with gold characters on a red background has been replaced.
Huo Xi got out of the carriage and was watching, but Kan Er had sent someone to call his servants to come out to greet him.
Seeing that only the supervisors from the outer court came to greet him, Huo Xi's eyes flashed.
