Chapter 533 Touring Pingjing
Back at the hotel, Liu Jinpeng found two little girls watching cartoons attentively. He walked over to pull Meihua's braids and asked, "Are you two hungry?"
Meihua and Meiling came to their senses from the plot. They didn't think so, but they suddenly felt very hungry. Meihua covered her belly and uttered: "I'm going to be hungry, brother, why are you back?" Meiling was also very hungry, but she stretched out her foot and kicked Meihua. Meihua quickly remembered something, giggling and stopped talking.
Liu Jinpeng saw all this and said with a little regret: "It's all my fault. What I think is to finish the work in the morning and play with you in the afternoon. Who knows that as soon as you do things, I'm sorry."
Meiling hurriedly said, "It's not my brother, we are too stupid. We don't know how to use the walkie-talkie, otherwise we'll order food by ourselves." Liu Jinpeng turned around and saw a stool under the walkie-talkie on the wall. It must be that they were short and couldn't reach it, so they moved a stool to study how to use the walkie-talkie.
Liu Jinpeng felt a little guilty and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, as compensation, my brother will satisfy you whatever you want to eat today."
Meihua's eyes lit up and she jumped up and said, "Really? Then I want to eat fried chicken wings." Because fried food is not healthy, Zhang Yu usually doesn't give them this, and only Liu Jinpeng is so easy to talk to.
Meiling was also a little hesitant. She didn't know whether to stop her sister's behavior. She felt that she shouldn't make any requests, but she was also a filial son and wanted to eat fried chicken wings. Liu Jinpeng didn't notice Meiling's dilemma and said with a smile: "Okay, then go eat fried chicken wings. There are kfc nearby, let's go."
Meihua happily jumped on the spot. Meiling didn't say anything, but got up and took a small bag behind her back. The two girls' outfits were matched by Zhang Yu and several other girls. Meiling was a black-bottom, white-edged sleeveless knee-length dress, while Meihua was a white-bottom, black-edged sleeveless knee-length dress, and the two were the same styles. There was a bow on the waist of the same color as the edge. The shoes on their feet were also matched, Meiling was a black leather sandal, while Meihua was white.
How could two little girls not wear hats when traveling? The big girls at home bought two wide-edged sun hats of different colors. Meiling's top was a black wedge with pure white background, and Meihua's top was a dark gray background and white wedge. The small bag on the back was also very distinctive. Both bags were the same style, both of which were cute panda styles.
Lin Lin dresses very beautifully today. Although her taste is still very bad now, with other girls helping her, she is not much worse. Lin Lin's dress is mainly simple, with a light-colored T-shirt with cute animals on her upper body. She is wearing a denim hot pants on the lower body. She is not afraid of the sun, and she doesn't even need to apply sunscreen when exposed. Her hair is simply combed into a high ponytail and wearing a pair of sunglasses she bought with Liu Jinpeng at the time. She is cool and beautiful.
Liu Jinpeng is much simpler, with a V-neck T-shirt, loose knee-length sports pants, and a pair of mesh shoes on his feet. It is light and cool. Moreover, he doesn't like to bring a lot of things when going out, so he just carries a small package and orders money and scattered things.
A group of four people went downstairs, two big and two small, and the staff on the way greeted them with a smile. Liu Jinpeng didn't feel strange yet, but when he arrived at the lobby downstairs, he happened to meet the customer service supervisor. The female supervisor had a little impression of Liu Jinpeng. When he saw the four of them greeting him on their own, he said, "Mrs., are your family satisfied with the service of our hotel?"
Liu Jinpeng then understood why those people on the road laughed and were treated as a happy family of four after a long time. He smiled and said, "It's great, I'm very satisfied." As for the explanation that it's not like the family, there is no need to say it. It's useless to say it.
There are several restaurants attached to Shangri-La Hotel, but Meiling and Meihua are all determined to go to KFC, so Liu Jinpeng naturally has to satisfy them. He doesn’t have to take a bus when he goes out. There is a KFC restaurant a few hundred meters along the street, which is still open 24 hours a day. There are many shops and restaurants on this street near Shangri-La Hotel. It is probably for the hotel’s guests.
Liu Jinpeng felt the sun shining his eyes as he walked. He saw that Lin Lin was the only one among his group of people wearing sunglasses. His eyes were patrolling the streets and found a shop specializing in glasses. So he said, "Let's go, give Meiling and Meihua glasses."
Meihua whispered and muttered, "I don't have myopia."
Liu Jinpeng laughed and said, "I know you are not myopic, so I said I would give you sunglasses. How cool."
Meihua and Meiling then laughed. The four of them entered the glasses shop. Liu Jinpeng called the salesperson to ask her to give the two girls sunglasses to try. He picked a pair of them that looked more pleasing to the eye. Although Meiling and Meihua really wanted to choose a good choice, they were really hungry, so they picked two pairs of colorful borders.
Liu Jinpeng took Lin Lin another payment, asked her to change it, and then paid together. After going out, the four of them all wore sunglasses, which was such a cool family. When they arrived at KFC, Meiling and Meihua ordered two chicken wings first, and they didn't care about the others. Liu Jinpeng added some French fries and chicken and corn to them, and then fooled them with a hamburger. Lin Lin also ate a hamburger casually, but in fact she could not eat it.
After eating this simple meal, Meiling and Meihua had already started rubbing her stomach. They didn't have much colder amount. After eating chicken wings, they were almost full. They ate chicken, corn and fries, and after drinking orange juice, they just shouted. Liu Jinpeng took a few paper cups of ice cream, each of the four of them, and Meiling and Meihua were having a lot of fun while shouting "It's so full."
Next, in order to digest food, Liu Jinpeng called a taxi to take them directly to the Palace Museum. This former Ming Dynasty Palace was accepted by Taizu for about one or two hundred years. After the constitution was established, the royal family only retained a few royal gardens, and used the Xing Palace and gardens as museums for tourists to visit. The annual ticket revenue of these places is controlled by the royal family, which can barely fill the big hole of maintenance fees.
The Palace Museum covers an area of more than 720,000 square meters, surrounded by a 10-meter-high city wall and a 52-meter-wide moat. The total area of ancient buildings in the city is about 160,000 square meters. The entire group of palace buildings is rigorous and orderly. The layout and shape are strictly designed and created in accordance with the feudal ritual system and the theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, reflecting the supreme authority of the emperor.
There is no motor vehicle driving in the Palace Museum, and you have to walk on your legs during the entire tour. It is the best place to eat. Liu Jinpeng only brought a camera when he went out, but he didn't get any cameras. After buying a ticket, he took a half-body photo for Meiling and Meihua. After entering the Meridian Gate, the flow of people gradually decreased, and Liu Jinpeng asked tourists to help take a photo of four people. As for the photo of two people, it is easy to deal with. Except for Meihua who is not good at using cameras, even Meiling can take photos of Liu Jinpeng and Linlin.
The Palace Museum is very big, and it may take a whole day to see all the collections. Liu Jinpeng just took the two little girls to see the more famous palaces and collections, especially the seals and imperial edicts of Emperor Taizu back then. These things are all superb and are indeed rare to see.
What is particularly incomprehensible is that there is a long scroll written by Emperor Taizu, with four large characters written on it, "The Xixi Void and Silence". These four large characters have been studied by scholars of all ages. Some people speculate that it is related to Buddhism, and some people speculate that it is related to mood, but no one can tell exactly what the scroll of Emperor Taizu means.
After seeing the Palace Museum, they went out from the northern Xuanwu Gate. Meiling and Meihua were filial sons and did not feel obvious about these historical relics. Seeing that the road was green at one end, they asked, "Brother, where is it there?"
Liu Jinpeng looked up and saw that it was Beihai Park. He smiled and said, "That is Beihai Park, and there is a pagoda in the island in the middle of the lake." Speaking of this pagoda, it was built during the reign of Emperor Taizong. The builder was the Lama of Uszang, and the purpose was of course to flatter the emperor. The emperor also wanted to use this opportunity to better control Uszang, so the two sides hit it off and the emperor ordered the lama to build a white pagoda on the island in the middle of the lake in Beihai.
After a walk in Beihai Park, Liu Jinpeng rented a small boat and took Meiling Meihua and Linlin to raft on the Beihai. Lin Lin was afraid that Liu Jinpeng would be tired, so he took the initiative to change it with him to let her paddle. Liu Jinpeng was not afraid of letting his filial son hear it, and said with a smile: "I feel sorry for you and I'll do it."
Lin Lin's eyes rolling was very smooth now. Meiling and Meihua pretended not to hear it. She happily reached into the lake and stroked it, and said, "It's so cool. The water looks green and I thought it would be dirty." In fact, the environmental protection of the Beihai is very good. Every year, there are a small group of white swans coming here to spend the summer. Now you can see a few white swans playing on the water on the lake.
It was July after all, and the weather was so hot that Meiling and Meihua were sweating all over after playing for a while. Meihua's hat was blown off by the wind and fell into the lake. Lin Lin quickly picked it up. Although it was a little wet, it should be fine to dry it. Seeing that both young people were so hot, Liu Jinpeng quickly took it back to the shore, left the park and called a taxi to take them back to the hotel to rest. He would regret it if he had heatstroke.
It's still early to eat at night. Liu Jinpeng remembered the last time he swam here with Li Xiwen. Lin Lin was still number zero and got the nickname of human-shaped torpedo. He looked at Lin Lin and turned to ask Meiling Meihua: "Two little princesses, do you want to go swimming? This hotel has a constant-temperature swimming pool."
Meiling nodded repeatedly. She likes to play in water now and feels uncomfortable if she doesn't play every day. Meihua is a little timid. She is a little worried that she is too stupid and takes up a lot of everyone's time at home. Seeing that neither of them objected, Liu Jinpeng went to get a room card to apply for a swimming license, and then took them to buy a swimsuit. This time she didn't prepare to swim, so she didn't even bring a swimsuit.
