Just as the two of them were talking, a middle-aged man walked into the reception room.
"Hello, sir. I'm the business manager of this bank. My surname is Pan!”
"Hello, Manager Pan. When can I withdraw my money?”
Li Mingxuan said.
Obviously, even if he raised 200,000, it would not alarm the president or the deputy president.
After all, this was the Imperial Capital, and there were many rich people. It was already a great honor to be welcomed by a business manager.
Manager Pan smiled and said,
"Because you are a Peony Gold Card user of our Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, we have already taken the special withdrawal channel for you!”
As she spoke, a beautiful cashier who barely scored 80 points after makeup walked in.
She was carrying a silver suitcase that was specially used by banks.
Initially, when the beautiful cashier heard that the person holding the Peony VIP card was a handsome man, she wanted to make friends with him.
However, when she saw Xia Yuqing, who was still beautiful without makeup, she gave up on the idea.
He opened the silver box and saw piles of cash inside.
Among them were the fourth edition of the 100-yuan bill with four heads and the fifth edition of the red 100-yuan bill.
Although the fifth edition of banknotes was issued in 1999, the old banknotes still remained in the market.
He looked at the stacks of sealed hundred-yuan bills.
Xia Yuqing couldn't move her eyes away.
After all, she had been in the capital for three years. She had been studying all day while thinking of ways to earn money, but she did not even have a stack of savings.
Li Mingxuan, who was probably younger than her, was holding a black plastic bag and stuffing stacks of banknotes into it.
To be honest, Xia Yuqing was truly shocked at that moment. She had never seen so much money before.
"Alright, let's go!"
Li Mingxuan looked at Xia Yuqing, who was standing motionlessly at the side with a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes that were filled with dullness. He pulled her arm and said.
"Oh!" Xia Yuqing finally came back to her senses.
Li Mingxuan left the bank in a hurry and placed 200,000 yuan in cash behind the car.
After getting into the car, Xia Yuqing asked hesitantly,"
"Mr. Li, can I ask you a question?”
"My name is Li Mingxuan, Ming as in 'amazing the world with a single master', and Xuan as in' imposing manner'. If Miss Xia wants to call me that, you can call me Mingxuan. Mr. Li is too restrained.”
"Ah... Xia Yuqing didn't expect him to say that and didn't know how to answer.
If she called him that, she felt that it was a little too intimate. If she didn't call him that, she didn't know what to do.
However, Li Mingxuan, who was close to 40 years old in his previous life, was a little embarrassed.
"How about this, I won't call you Miss Xia, but Yuqing. However, Yuqing, Yuqing, when you first see the stamens of a flower before the rain, it's still a leafless flower after the rain.”
Xia Yuqing's body trembled.
She really didn't expect Li Mingxuan to say this poem from the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Jia.
These two sentences meant that before the rain, spring had just arrived, and the flowers had just spat out their buds and had not yet bloomed.
Wasn't he talking about Xia Yuqing? She should have bloomed like a flower in its most beautiful season.
However, before she could fully bloom, the rain had already poured down.
Did this mean that her future would be like a flower blooming in the heavy rain? The path would be covered in red leaves, and only green leaves would be left on the branches.
Leaving only one behind, how pitiful, how lamentable?
In fact, this was just a thought that Li Mingxuan had in his mind.
At this moment, he did not know what the girl in front of him had experienced.
Seeing Xia Yuqing fall silent, Li Mingxuan started the car and said,
"I'm going to the Forbidden City next. Where should I go?”
"It's best to go through Donghua Gate. You can't enter the north gate of Shenwu Gate. You can only come out from that gate. There's also a street outside Donghua Gate where you can rent clothes and take photos.”
Xia Yuqing explained.
"Then let's go to Donghua Sect. Yu Qing, you lead the way!”
Li Mingxuan said generously.
"Alright!"
Xia Yuqing didn't correct him.
After about twenty minutes, the two of them drove to Donghua Gate and got off at a paid parking lot.
As expected of the capital, the number of empty seats in the parking lot was displayed at this time.
It cost 5 yuan to park for an hour, which was not cheap.
On the street outside Donghua Gate, there were shouts everywhere.
Those who sold tea, souvenirs, rented clothes, and took photos were all shouting.
It was as if everyone in the capital liked to shout.
After spending four yuan on two bottles of Yili mineral water, the two of them headed to the Forbidden City.
The entrance fee was 40 yuan per person. This was the price after the reform of the Forbidden City in 2001. It was still 30 yuan before.
Later, it was divided into light and peak seasons. The ticket for the peak season was 60 yuan, and the ticket for the off-season was 40 yuan.
Not only that, but one also needed to make an appointment to enter the Forbidden City.
This did not exist in 2002.
Just like that, the two of them entered the Forbidden City. Li Mingxuan's Canon camera could finally come in handy.
They took photos along the way. Since it was a DSLR, there was also an SD card in it, so there was no need to worry about the capacity.
Beside the two of them were some tour groups, some aunties, and uncles. They followed the tour guide who held a small flag toward the Meridian Gate.
When they reached the Meridian Gate, Xia Yuqing started explaining like a professional tour guide.
"Look left and right from the Meridian Gate. There is the Five Phoenix Pavilion over there. It looks like five phoenixes spreading their wings. The one in the middle is called the main gate tower, and the two sides are called the Yanchi Pavilion.”
When they arrived at the two stone pavilions in front of the Meridian Gate, Xia Yuqing said,
"On this side is a sundial, and on the other side is a copper measuring tool. One of these two objects represented time, while the other represented the measurement system.
The sundial represented the passing of time to the people, and Jialiang represented the establishment of weights and measures for the people. The entire Forbidden City was represented by these imperial powers.”
At this point, she smiled playfully at Li Mingxuan.
"Now, let's test you, son. Is there really such a thing as the beheading at the Meridian Gate in the TV series?”
"Of course, there is. Didn't you see the emperor say in the TV series that men, push out the Meridian Gate and behead!”
"I already said it was a TV series!"
"TV dramas have to be based on facts, right? Don't those TV dramas respect history?”
Great! When some of the aunties and uncles saw that Xia Yuqing was not only beautiful but also interesting, they all left their tour guides behind and started to freeload on their tour guides.
Li Mingxuan, who was holding the camera, was speechless.
