First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 373 What's Your Attitude?

Zhou Chengjun knew that Zhou Ziqi was so secretive about this man's name because he didn't want others to know it, so he tactfully stopped asking, but he was even more shocked in his heart.

Wei Ling's charm is really great, as he can make such a talented person willingly follow him!

He remembered that not long ago, Wei Ling recruited him so easily. Originally, he thought that Wei Ling did things so easily just because he was just a warrior after all. But now thinking about it again, he realized that he had easily agreed to Wei Ling. Although his motives were not pure and he just wanted to fool him, he had agreed to it after all!

And agreeing is only the first step. Isn’t the account book thrown out by my cousin the second step?

This would further tie himself to Wei Ling!

Thinking hard!

Zhou Chengjun shook his head.

"Let's go, don't just stand here and stare blankly, the carriage will be here soon." Zhou Ziqi pulled Zhou Chengjun, "I'll take you on a sightseeing carriage ride around the new city."

Zhou Chengjun had become numb from hearing these new words from Zhou Ziqi. He was too lazy to think about what they were. He just followed Zhou Ziqi.

The uncle and nephew came down from the overpass, and Zhou Ziqi took Zhou Chengjun to a vertical sign.

Zhou Chengjun looked up at the sign that read Guangrong Road Station.

"What does this mean?" Zhou Chengjun asked.

"This road is called Guangrong Road." Zhou Ziqi explained. There were already many people waiting under the bus stop, holding various things in their hands. "This sign is here because this is the bus stop for Guangrong Road. These people are waiting for the bus. The sightseeing carriage we are waiting for will also come here to pick up passengers soon."

Soon, a carriage was seen approaching from a distance.

Different from other carriages, this carriage was very strange in style. The carriage was very long and the bottom of the carriage was very low to the ground. One could almost step on it. The carriage stopped under the sign and the driver shouted, "We have arrived at Guangrong Road Station. Those who want to go to Tao's Medical Clinic can get off here. It's very close. Just cross the overpass in front and you will arrive. Get off from the back and get on from the front. Don't squeeze. Elderly and children are given priority! It costs one penny to get on the bus! Please pay it in the bag yourself. Don't let me see anyone who doesn't pay. I won't let you ride next time! Those who get on the bus, please walk inside. Don't stand at the door. Make room for others! The next stop is Yongjun Station. Get off at the next stop to Zuixianlou!"

Just as the driver shouted, people getting off the carriage went out from a door at the back, while people getting on the carriage went up from a door at the front, all in an orderly manner.

Zhou Chengjun stood below and watched carefully. Everyone took out a penny and paid the fare consciously.

The fare is only one penny! What a bargain!

After everyone got on the bus, the driver glanced at Zhou Ziqi and Zhou Chengjun standing under the bus stop sign and said, "You two are waiting for the sightseeing bus, right? It will be here soon. It's right behind us. Don't worry."

"Thank you, young man!" Zhou Ziqi said with a smile and raised his hand to bow. The coachman, a young man, also bowed and then drove away.

After the bus left, Zhou Chengjun asked, "Is this the bus my cousin mentioned?"

"Yes." Zhou Ziqi nodded and said, "It only costs one cent to get on the bus, and you can go around the new city area directly. It's very convenient. You can see those people just now were carrying things in their hands and carrying burdens. With this bus, they feel much more relaxed."

While the two were talking, another carriage arrived.

The driver was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to take the sightseeing bus?" She had a kind face and made people feel friendly.

"Yes." Zhou Ziqi nodded.

"Get in the car, five cents." The coachman said with a smile.

Zhou Ziqi took out five cents and gave it to the old lady, then took Zhou Chengjun on the sightseeing carriage.

The carriage had almost no walls blocking its way, and the interior was spacious and clean, with a tourist map placed on the seat.

"Do you need an explanation?" the old lady asked as she drove the car.

"No need. I'm a local, just look for yourself." Zhou Ziqi said.

"Well, I can see that you two gentlemen are well-educated, so I won't show off my knowledge in front of you." The old lady smiled and stopped talking.

"What other scenic spots are there in this new urban area?" Zhou Chengjun asked curiously.

"The new city emphasizes that there are scenery along the streets. Every ten steps there is a small scenery, and every hundred steps there is a big scenery!" Zhou Ziqi smiled, "Just look."

After walking around the new city area, Zhou Chengjun basically didn't want to talk anymore.

Before, he asked what to see in Xincheng, and Zhou Ziqi answered him that it was the future.

After Zhou Chengjun went through this circle, he really understood the meaning of the two words Zhou Ziqi said!

I have never seen such a new urban area even in books. The so-called White Jade Capital in the Sky is probably just like this!

It's so convenient, clean and well-organized! Just one look at it will make you fascinated!

After returning to the carriage brought by Zhou Ziqi, Zhou Chengjun sighed, "What do you think His Majesty would think if he saw the scene here?"

"The emperor is far away and the mountains are high. Why should I care what he thinks? I'm just sure he can't do it." Zhou Ziqi said calmly.

Zhou Chengjun was shocked. Such disrespectful words...

But he was soon relieved. It was likely that few people around Wei Ling had any awe for the Emperor in their hearts!

After seeing this new city, Zhou Chengjun even had a bold idea in his mind!

But he didn't say this thought out loud, and he didn't dare to ask for the time being.

"After looking around for a long time, do you have confidence in the Marquis and Mangcheng?" Zhou Ziqi asked calmly.

Zhou Chengjun's eyelids twitched and his heart skipped a beat.

"What do you mean, little cousin?" Zhou Chengjun asked cautiously.

"If you want to be the head of the Zhou family, you will have to face it sooner or later." Zhou Ziqi tapped the wall of the car lightly, "What you see outside is completely different from the capital! What do you think the future will be like? If you were asked to choose, what would you choose?"

Zhou Chengjun's heart suddenly started beating like a drum!

What my cousin meant...

"The Prince of Chenliu is hoarding troops. Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time, so his foundation is not stable..." Zhou Chengjun murmured in a low voice after a long while, "Even if the Marquis's side is different from the other side, no matter what you do, you need money!"

Wei Ling’s Duke’s Mansion was confiscated. Although the Duke’s Mansion was given to Wei Ling by the general today, it was just an empty shell after all!

If you want to compete with the imperial court in the future, it all comes down to soldiers and money.

There is no need to worry about soldiers, as Wei Ling’s ability to lead troops is known to the world!

But where is the money!
