Chapter 379
As the mother river of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River has been flowing continuously for thousands of years, sometimes gentle and sometimes violent.The Yellow River, which has broken its embankment several times and diverted its course, has brought countless disasters, but the water scours and deposits, and after each diversion, the flooded area leaves extremely fertile soil, so human beings can be bred. It is quiet, and it reproduces here from generation to generation, and builds a prosperous civilization.
The Chinese nation finally radiated out from this center, and around the Yellow River, settlements developed into cities in the end. Some stretched for thousands of years, and some gradually submerged in the long river of time, leaving only their names and names. Memory, among them, Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, is one of the brightest names.
Located at the tip of the huge alluvial plain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Kaifeng Prefecture has been prosperous since ancient times. It has fertile soil, suitable climate, key geographical location and convenient water and land transportation connecting the north and the south.Since the Xia Dynasty in 2000 BC, the capital of a dynasty has been established here for the first time, and then it has lasted for more than 2000 years, and a total of ten dynasties have established their capitals here.The Yellow River gave birth to this city, and it is constantly destroying it. Every time there is a major diversion, the old city will be submerged, and after the water flows, the new city will be picked up again.In [-] AD, Kaifeng was still an extremely prosperous city, but the past cities and memories were buried layer by layer under the silt of the Yellow River, and they could not be seen again.
In the Wu Dynasty, Bianliang City in Kaifeng was still the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. This is a city that Ning Yi has no memory of. Kaifeng after a thousand years is much higher than the current city.This city, which will theoretically be buried underground in many years, looks both old and young at this time. Under the lead blue rain, the city's old and new buildings are mixed together, just like every rapidly developing city. With its hasty, uncoordinated old and new memories and contradictions, with an atmosphere that can be nostalgic or disgusting, it leaves traces of people's lives in the river of time.
Under this city, there are traces of the ancient Xia Dynasty, the city walls of the Warring States Period, and the ruins of Bianzhou in the Tang Dynasty.Thinking about it this way, a strange feeling arose in my heart unconsciously.When getting off the boat, Ning Yi stamped his feet on the ground.
The pier in the rain is chaotic and noisy.
Coming from Jiangning, they walked together all the way, and at this point, it was finally time to part ways.There are royal people who come to hand over the birth and birthday plan, and the royal family and dignitaries who have traveled north all the way also have their own connections to find and relatives to meet.The flow of news at this time is not flexible. People in the capital are not easy to estimate the exact time of arrival due to various delays all the way north.Some people with higher status and self-respect for their status and face had sent their servants to rush to the capital to report the news as early as last night.There are also people—like the little princess—whose status is not low, like Kang Xian and others who are worried about her safety, and have already had people report to the capital, and they will ask people to wait at the pier every day. This kind of treatment is the most Eager, and the best proof of identity.
The various things of the secret investigation department are not as strict as they were when they were in full regular operation. People who are not second to others go to Beijing, mainly to visit Qin Yuyuan.Originally, he was performing the disciple ceremony to Qin Yuyuan, but he had landed at this time, and he was going to visit the Prime Minister's mansion in the afternoon.As for Ning Yi, he should have gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, there are Xiaochan, Su Wenyu, Su Yanping, Yunzhu and Jin'er along the way, and there are four or five servants and nurses who are more trustworthy in the Su Mansion. There are a lot of things, so it is impossible to bring a group of people there, so I have to find an inn to stay in the afternoon.As for the three brothers of the Qi family, Lu Junyi and others, they are already familiar with each other anyway, so they might as well stay in the inn together.
When I came to Bianliang for the first time, I was actually unfamiliar with the place. Fortunately, there was also an experienced person accompanying the Su family, that is the shopkeeper Liao who came to Bianliang to make trouble in the Huangshang incident.This person's name is Liao Sanhua, he is quite trustworthy among the shopkeepers of the Su family, and he has experience in doing business in the capital.
When everyone was discussing where to live in the hall dedicated to welcoming VIPs at the pier, Zhou Pei led a few people over to say hello. This is someone from the Chongwang Mansion in the capital. In the next few days, she will probably be in Chongwang. He stayed in the palace until after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so he came to ask where Ning Yi lived.
After the incident along the way, she has already admired Ning Yi quite a lot. In the past few days, she spent a lot of time pestering Ning Yi to ask this and that, but as usual, the situation where she had to be unconvinced with a sentence or two was greatly reduced. , Even if Ning Yi obviously made up a list of the world's top [-] masters for fun, she would copy a copy and think about the mystery.If possible, she would be more willing to learn from such a "teacher", but of course, most of the time, she knows the general situation and knows that this is impossible.
At this time, Ning Yi and others were going to live in the Fuxiang Inn, which is said to be the largest and most expensive in Bianliang, according to the introduction of the shopkeeper Liao. When the name was mentioned, a steward of the palace who followed Zhou Pei also said: "Fuxiang Tower, where is It's quite big, but I'm just worried that there are no vacancies. If you can't live there, you might as well go to the Wenhui Building on Taimiao Street. The inn has something to do with the palace." The steward seems to be a eunuch, but his attitude is gentle Respectfully, as he spoke, he handed over a famous post.It seems that Chongwang's Mansion and Kangwang's Mansion have a good relationship, and the other party's behavior makes the little Princess feel honored.
"Where the teacher lives, I will ask Grandpa Qin tomorrow. If there is anything, the teacher will come to Chongwang Mansion to find me." After Zhou Pei finished speaking, she folded her hands in front of her chest and bowed her knees slightly before leaving, 15 years old The girl looks noble and generous.
After Zhou Pei left, Chen Jingui also came over and said a few words to Ning Yi, thanking him for his help along the way, and said that he also knew some people in the capital, so if necessary, just speak up.After Chen Jingui, it was Li Shishi who came to find Ning Yi.
At this time, each went back to each house to find each mother, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Li Shishi was going back to the building, so he also came to ask Ning Yi's residence.In fact, maybe Ning Yi will stay in the hotel for the first day or two, and then he will still buy a few yards in the capital.
"If you have time, Brother Ning might as well come to visit the building. There are many talents in the capital. Zhou Bangyan and Zhou Meicheng still remember Brother Ning, and he will never forget your poems. Of course, the most important thing is my little sister. I hope to get together with Brother Ning, Brother Yu, and Brother Chen."
Her attitude was so earnest and sincere that Ning Yi felt that it was hard to refuse. Of course, there was no need for him to refuse such things, so he nodded and agreed.Li Shishi was also slightly blessed, and left with a smile.Although the person in the figure is not as noble as Zhou Pei, Pin Ting is graceful and decent, like the combination of the innocence of a girl and the charm of a woman without losing the sense of purity.If Yunzhu is like an elegant and pure lily, she is probably like a pure but natural narcissus.Perhaps it was also because of this that Yunzhu couldn't fit into an environment like a brothel, but she was able to do a job with ease and be contented.
"This Miss Li is so amazing..." At this time, Yun Zhu, who was dressed in plain clothes and Jingchai, looked at the background of Li Shishi leaving after saying goodbye to everyone, and couldn't help but tilt her head and sighed. This was probably pure admiration. There is also a charming temperament between her head, Ning Yi looked at it and smiled.Yuan Jin'er was dressed in men's clothes at this time, sitting on the luggage and eating, humming disapprovingly.
It was still raining, so the group rented a carriage and left.After passing two streets, the peculiar mess by the pier gradually receded, but the street scene still looked crowded when the curtain was lifted to look out, the tall and low buildings crowded together, the wide and narrow alleyways with twists and turns, under the rain curtain , the scene in front of me is sometimes old and sometimes new, new taverns, old teahouses, high and low eaves overlapped together, sometimes passing by old courtyards covered with moss on the courtyard walls, sometimes passing by newly built small buildings with red paint on them It was washed bright in the rain.There are big stone lions in front of the majestic mansion, tall flagpoles in the courtyard of the escort agency, warriors with weapons on their backs, sheltering from the rain under the eaves, beautiful lanterns on the brothels, and clothes and colored silk hanging on some of the upstairs, with dark eyes in their eyes. The yearning woman looked at the passing pedestrians absent-mindedly upstairs, singing, laughing, and cursing came from some windows, and the voices were drowned in the rain.The ancient trees either grow in the corner of the courtyard, or grow at the head of the bridge or the corner of the street, propping up luxuriant leaves in this ancient city, and in the distance, there is a majestic palace wall.
All the way from the wharf to the Fuxiang Inn, when I wanted to stay, I found that the Fuxiang Inn was full, and then Ning Yi and his party turned to the Wenhui Building that the manager of the Chongwang Mansion said, and it was indeed a grand and grand inn .After Ning Yi and the others took out their name cards and rented two yards to live in, it was almost evening.The rain hadn't stopped yet, and the inn lit up lanterns and hung up lanterns. It was brightly lit, and many people were talking loudly in the lobby. They were talking about an incident that had only been reported yesterday: Guo Yaoshi, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom's ever-victorious army. With the hard work here, the two states of Zhuo and Yi were brought down to the Wu Dynasty.
Just like the later generations, in the land of the capital, everyone likes to talk about politics. Ning Yi only knew about this matter two days ago, but it is good news after all, and there is no cover-up.At this time, the Jin Gong Liao has achieved a series of victories, but the Wu Dynasty has always been thunderous and rainy. Previously, 10 people could not win 1 people. It is very unconfident, even if Tong Guan has now led the army to the north. , but before the victory, the army of the Wu Dynasty was already hard to give people confidence.On the contrary, the Ever Victorious Army was originally composed of Liaodong people. It was originally called the Resentment Army to fight against the Jurchens. Although it may not be possible to win against the Jurchens, its combat power is still extremely strong. The imperial court obviously publicized it like this .
Regarding Guo Yaoshi's grievances, Wu Chao has been fighting for it from the very beginning, especially Qin Yuyuan. He knows that Wu Chao's army is not strong enough, so the secret investigation department has spent a lot of effort behind it. Long-term methods are being used, and this time for the secret investigation department, it should be a big victory...
