The God of Wealth: The growth journey of the poor white rich beauty
Chapter 49: Visiting the Forbidden City
No matter what mess happens elsewhere, it cannot affect Bai Tang and Jin Duoduo now.
The traffic environment in Kyoto is indeed not very good during rush hour. Under Jin Duoduo's guidance, Bai Tang drove around the Forbidden City for a long time before finding a parking space in a parking lot.
The parking lot security was even a little reluctant to open the door to let the car in. My goodness, a car of this level would make them cry if it was bumped in the parking lot.
The two locked their car and happily left with their bags, leaving the parking lot security guard standing there in dismay. The young security guard thought for a long time and finally reported the matter to his superiors.
The leader directly arranged for him to stroll and patrol around Rafah, for fear that someone would secretly scratch him. There are really a lot of people who hate the rich now.
The Forbidden City had already begun implementing a policy of limiting the number of visitors per day, but Jin Duoduo still managed to get two spots for today through connections early in the morning.
After walking out of the parking lot for more than ten minutes, Bai Tang saw the magnificent Forbidden City complex from afar.
Following the surging crowds into the palace gates, the sense of history washed over me. The encounter between the 600-year-old stunning architecture and the modern crowds of tourists created a sense of destiny, a feeling of transcending time and space.
Tour groups, wearing small hats of different colors, are led by tour guides holding guide flags, measuring the ancient stone brick road step by step and listening to the tour guides' explanations. It seems as if the ancients and us are only separated by a layer of paper called time and space, and we are strolling in this magnificent imperial city at the same time.
Yes, that's right. In order to have fun, Bai Tang and Jin Duoduo quietly followed a group of elderly people on tour and listened to the tour guide's explanation.
Red walls and green tiles, deep palace courtyard. Bai Tang didn't know what the daily life of the palace maids was like a hundred years ago, but she knew that her legs and feet were sore now.
The Forbidden City was truly vast. In the space of a midday, they'd trudged along with the tour group to walk most of it. They'd visited Little Swallow's Shufangzhai and walked through the Empress's Kunning Palace. As they passed Chuxiu Palace, Bai Tang wondered how many beautiful girls must have graced this small courtyard centuries ago.
They took a lot of photos. Especially when Bai Tang, who looked like an immortal in a white dress, was taking photos in the alley with red courtyard walls and bluestone slabs, Jin Duoduo said that she finally understood what it meant to feel like she was traveling through time.
Really tired, the two of them bought some Forbidden City cultural and creative ice cream and sat on a stone bench under the shade of a tree to rest their feet. Bai Tang looked at the ice cream in his hand, which was so exquisitely shaped that he was reluctant to eat it. However, when he turned around, he saw that Jin Duoduo had already nibbled off the eaves of the ice cream in his hand.
Bai Tang was speechless for a moment. But seeing that the ice cream in his hand was about to melt, he didn't care anymore and bit off a large section of the eaves in one bite.
As the two were eating ice cream and chatting, they felt a furry touch on their legs and heard a kitten's meow.
Bai Tang was startled and jumped away a long distance.
They both looked down at the same time and saw a large yellow tabby cat crouching under the stone chair, with a frightened look on its face.
Jin Duoduo looked at the big yellow cat and suddenly remembered something. "This big yellow cat must be Papa, the most popular cat in the Forbidden City."
Sitting back in the chair, Bai Tang asked doubtfully after hearing Jin Duoduo's words, "Imperial Cat?"
Then he picked up the fat cat at his feet, petted it and asked, "You are the one called Papa."
"The Imperial Cats of the Forbidden City are a group of cats that have been living in the Forbidden City. They may be descendants of cats in the palace of the previous dynasty, or they may have escaped from outside. They have lived here for a long time, and the administrators will not drive them away because they catch mice and protect these centuries-old wooden buildings." Jin Duoduo explained, and then saw Bai Tang pick up the cat and start petting it, and the cat did not resist.
"Wow, what kind of divine physique do you have? Royal cats usually don't let people touch them, especially this clever Papa, no one can touch it at all. It actually lets you hug it." Jin Duoduo said in surprise.
Bai Tang stroked the papa that lay on her legs and snored loudly. "No, I don't think it's hiding. It's just that it's too heavy. My legs are a little numb from the pressure."
Jin Duoduo curled his lips and said, "You are so ungrateful after getting the advantage." After saying that, he reached out and rubbed Papa's head hard twice to satisfy his urge.
After playing with the royal cat Papa for a while, Bai Tang picked it up and put it on the ground, "Go, go, play by yourself. We are leaving too." At the same time, he waved to Papa.
The cat may have become a little more human-like after a long time, and it seems that it roughly understands what Bai Tang means. Papa shook his feet, wagged his tail and ran away. Finally, when he turned the corner, he looked back at Bai Tang.
After sending Papa away, the two discussed heading to the cultural and creative store in the Forbidden City.
Once inside, I discovered this truly unique place. The old-fashioned atmosphere was punctuated by modern touches. It wasn't crowded.
Looking at the dazzling array of creative jewelry and gifts in the room, Bai Tang's shopping spirit was ignited. He quickly pulled Jin Duoduo, each holding a small basket, and rushed inside.
At the beginning, Bai Tang went for the doll ornaments.
The Jinyiwei had a whole set of black cat figurines, each one adorable and nimble, striking various poses. Bai Tang bought the whole set.
Then there were all sorts of Forbidden City cat figurines and pendants, each with a lively, adorable expression. Under the gaze of the surrounding tourists, Bai Tang simply picked out one or a whole set of all the different ornaments.
All kinds of small animals, as well as Q-version dolls and ornaments of characters such as the emperor, concubine, and palace maids were bought.
Bai Tang's shopping spree stunned the salesperson. Jin Duoduo saw that the little sister's basket was almost full and hurriedly handed her a new empty basket.
In the following time, Bai Tang searched the place thoroughly.
She bought all sorts of refrigerator magnets, artistic paper fans, creative accessories, and ornaments. She even bought a lot of creative lipsticks, sachets, and perfumes. She didn't use them much herself, but she could give them away as gifts.
The main reason was that they were all so beautiful. Bai Tang really wanted every one of them. In the end, he could only sigh. My charming ancestors really had an extraordinary aesthetic taste.
After the frenzy, Bai Tang felt a bit embarrassed looking at the mountain of shopping baskets piled high in the checkout area and the sweaty cashier busy calculating the bills. Turning back, he realized that it was just him and Jin Duoduo, so there was no way they could take the items away. And the day's itinerary wasn't over yet.
Seeing the two girls helpless, the clerk was also troubled. In the end, he kindly helped by calling a courier to deliver the goods within the city. After the courier loaded the entire delivery tricycle and left, Bai Tang, with a look of shock on his face, thanked the cultural and creative store clerk again for his help.
Today's Forbidden City tour was almost over, and the two discussed and decided to have roast duck for lunch. Finally, under the recommendation of the local boss Jin Duoduo, they decided to go to Bian Yi Fang.
They had to stroll out to the car again. Bai Tang and Jin Duoduo encouraged each other, then turned around and continued to complain. I really don't know how those old men and women in the tour group managed to stick with the whole day.
They walked back to the car until they were almost exhausted. They quickly drank water and took off their shoes to air their feet. It took a long time to rest before they felt a little refreshed. It was then that Bai Tang realized that her white skirt was left with several small footprints of the royal cat Papa, like several small plum blossoms reflected in the snow.
