As the mother river of the Chinese nation, the Yellow River flows continuously. In the long thousands of years, it is sometimes gentle and sometimes violent. The Yellow River, which has broken its embankments and diverted its course several times, has brought countless disasters, but the water flow has washed away the sediments. After each diversion, the flooded area has left extremely fertile soil, and human beings have been nurtured. Quiet, reproduced here from generation to generation, and built a prosperous civilization.
The Chinese nation finally radiated from this center. Around the Yellow River, settlements everywhere developed into cities, some of which lasted for thousands of years, and some gradually submerged in the long river of time, leaving only their names and names. Memory, among them, Kaifeng House Bianliang City is one of the most splendid names.
Located at the tip of the huge alluvial plain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Kaifeng House 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 the second millennium BC, the capital of a dynasty was established here for the first time, and then it lasted for more than 4,000 years, and a total of ten dynasties settled here. The Yellow River nurtured the city and destroyed it constantly. With every major diversion, the old city was submerged, and after the water flowed, the new city was picked up again. In 2000 AD, Kaifeng Mansion was still an extremely prosperous city, but the city and memories of the past were buried layer by layer under the silt of the Yellow River, and it was impossible to see it again.
In the Wu Dynasty, Kaifeng House Bianliang City was still the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. This is a city that Ning Yi has no memory of. Kaifeng in a thousand years will be much higher than this city today. This city, which theoretically will be buried in the ground many years later, looks both old and young at this time. Under the lead blue rain curtain, the old and new buildings of the city are mixed together, just like every fast-developing city. With its hurried, incongruous mix of old and new memories and contradictions, with an air of nostalgia and repulsion. In the river of time, leaving traces of people's lives.
Under this city, there are traces of the ancient Xia Dynasty, the city of the Warring States Period, and the ruins of Bianzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of this, a strange feeling arises in my heart unconsciously. When he got off the boat, Ning Yi stamped his feet on the ground.
The pier in the rain was chaotic and noisy.
Come here from Jiangning, walk all the way, and arrive at this time. It was finally time to part ways. In the birthday gang, people from the royal family came to hand over it. The royal family and dignitaries who went north all the way also had their own relationships to look for, and relatives to meet. At this time, the flow of news was not flexible, and everyone went all the way north. Various delays, the exact time of arrival, people in the capital are not easy to estimate. Some people with higher identities and more self-preserving identity and face have already sent their servants to the capital to report the news as early as last night. There are also people - like the small county master - who are not low in status. For example, Kang Xian and others were worried about her safety. They had already sent people to report to the capital, and they would have people wait at the dock every day. This kind of treatment was the most ardent treatment. Also the most identifiable.
The various matters of the Secret Investigation Division are not as rigorous now as they were when they were fully run. He had originally held the disciple salute to Qin Siyuan, but at this time he had already landed on the shore. In the afternoon, I will go to the Xiangfu to pay a visit. As for Ning Yi, he should have gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, there are still Xiaochan, Su Wenyu, Su Yanping, Yunzhu and Jin'er, and four or five trustworthy servants and nurses from the Su Mansion. I took it all with me, so I had to find an inn to stay in the afternoon. As for the three Qi brothers, Lu Junyi and others, they are already very familiar with each other anyway, so they might as well stay at the inn together.
When I first came to Bianliang, I was actually unfamiliar with the place of life. Fortunately, there was also an experienced person accompanying the Su family. It was the shopkeeper Liao who came to Bianliang and fell to the ground during the imperial business incident. This person's name is Liao Sanhua. He is quite trustworthy among the shopkeepers of the Su family, and has experience in doing business in the capital.
When everyone was discussing where to stay in the hall dedicated to welcoming VIPs at the wharf, Zhou Pei led a few people over to say hello. This is from the Chongwang Mansion in the capital. In the next 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 Ning Yi where he lived.
After the events along the way, she had already admired Ning Yi quite a bit. She spent a lot of time pestering Ning Yi about this and that in the past few days. As usual, she had to say a word or two when she was not convinced, but it was greatly reduced. , even if Ning Yi obviously playfully compiled the list of the world's top 100 masters, she would copy a copy and think about the mystery. If possible, I'm afraid she would be more willing to learn things from such a "teacher", but of course, most of the time, she knows the general 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. It’s quite old, but I’m worried that there won’t be any vacancies. If you can’t stay there, you might as well go to Wenhui Building on Taimiao Street, where the inn has something to do with the palace.” The steward seemed to be a eunuch, but his attitude was gentle. Respectfully, handing over a famous post. It seems that Prince Chong's Mansion and Prince Kang's Mansion have a good relationship. If the other party did this, the little county master also felt light on his face.
"Where the teacher lives, I will go and ask Grandpa Qin tomorrow. If there is anything, the teacher will come to the Chongwang Mansion to find me." Zhou Pei said, folded his hands on his chest and bowed slightly before leaving. The young girl looked 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 also said that he knew some people in the capital, and if necessary, he would just say so. After Chen Jingui, it was Li Shishi who came to find Ning Yi.
At this time, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Li Shishi was going back to Fanlou, so he also came to ask Ning Yi's residence. In fact, maybe Ning Yi would stay in an inn for a day or two at first, and after that, he would have to buy a few yards in the capital.
"If you have time, Brother Ning might as well come to Fanlou for a stroll. There are many talented people in the capital. Brother Zhou Bangyan and Zhou Meicheng still remember it. He has always been obsessed with your poems. Of course, the most important thing is your little sister. I hope to get together with Brother Ning, Brother Yu, and Brother Chen."
Her attitude was sincere and sincere, and Ning Yi felt that it was difficult to refuse. Of course, there was no need for him to refuse such things, so he nodded. Li Shishi was also slightly blessed and left with a smile. Although she is not as noble as Zhou Pei, she is graceful and decent, like a girl's innocence combined with a woman's charm, without losing a sense of purity. If Yunzhu is like an elegant and pure lily, she is probably like a pure narcissus with a little natural publicity. Perhaps because of this, Yunzhu couldn't integrate into the environment like the brothel, but she was able to do it with ease and contentment.
"This Miss Li is so amazing..." Yun Zhu, who was dressed in plain clothes and Jing Chai, looked at the background of Li Shishi's departure after saying goodbye to everyone, and couldn't help but tilt his head and sigh, this is probably pure worship, she There is also a charming aura between the tilted head, Ning Yi looked at it and smiled. At this time, Yuan Jin'er was dressed in men's clothes, sitting on the luggage to eat, and hummed disapprovingly.
It was still raining, and the group rented a carriage and left. After passing two streets, the peculiar clutter on the pier gradually subsided, but when you opened the curtain and looked out, the street scene was still crowded, with high and low buildings crowded together, crooked wide and narrow alleys, under the rain curtain. , the scene in front of you is sometimes old and sometimes new, new taverns, old tea houses, high and low eaves overlapping, sometimes passing through old courtyards, the walls are covered with moss, sometimes passing new small buildings, red paint on It was washed brightly in the rain. In front of the majestic mansion, there are big stone lions, high flagpoles in the courtyard of the escort bureau, warriors carrying weapons, sheltering from the rain under the eaves, beautiful lanterns on the brothel, and clothes and colorful silk hanging on some of the upper floors. Upstairs, the longing woman looked absently at the passers-by. Songs, laughter, laughter and scolding came from some windows, and the voices were drowned out in the rain. Old trees grow in a corner of the courtyard, bridges and street corners, propping up lush leaves in this ancient city, and in the distance, there is a towering 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. Then Ning Yi and his party turned to the Wenhui Building, which the steward of the Chongwang Mansion said, which is also a grand and luxurious inn. . After Ning Yi and others took out their famous posters and rented two yards to live in, it was almost evening. The rain has not stopped yet, and the lanterns are lit and hung in the inn. Many people are talking loudly in the hall, and they are talking about something that came out only yesterday: Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Liao Kingdom's Changsheng Army. Thanks to the hard work here, the two states of Jiezhuo and Yi surrendered to the Wu Dynasty.
Just like in later generations, in the land of the capital, everyone likes to talk about politics. Ning Yi only knew about it two days ago, but after all, it is good news, and there is no secret on it. At this time, Jin Gongliao has won consecutive victories, but the Wu Dynasty has always had a lot of thunder and little rain. Previously, 100,000 people could not win against 10,000 people. It was already very unconfident, even if Tong Guan has now led his army north. , but before the victory, the military of the Wu Dynasty has been difficult to give people confidence. On the contrary, the Changsheng Army was originally composed of people from Liaodong. It was originally to fight against the Jurchen. It was called the Resentful Army. Although it might not be possible to win against the Jurchen, its combat power was still extremely strong. .
There is a grudge against Guo Yaoshi, and the Wu Dynasty has been fighting for it from the very beginning, especially Qin Siyuan. He knows that the frontal strength of the Wu Dynasty's army is not enough, and the Secret Investigation Division has spent a lot of effort behind the scenes. The long methods are being used, this time is also a big victory for the Secret Investigation Division... ()
