Chapter 1042 Kaifeng, Chai Kiln, Royal Street

ps:  I have seen the blessing, thank you everyone.

"The rich businessman naturally received the punishment he deserves, as for Mr. Yao." At this time, Mr. Qian frowned and said, "I asked someone to check it carefully, but found that there was no one named Yao in the gang back then."

"Have you changed your name?" Yu Feibai speculated: "After all, I'm afraid of being wanted, so it's normal to hide my name."

"That's right." Wang Guan also agreed: "Just like Mr. Yao's pseudonym Martin in the United States, maybe the surname Yao is also fake, and even his daughter's name has been changed."

"What, that Meng Jian..."

At the same time, Yu Feibai asked quietly: "Have you confessed yet?"

"What confession?"

Mr. Qian said angrily: "It's a civilized society now, and it's not a good idea torture and force confessions."

"No need to ask."

At the right time, Yu Feibai made a suggestion and said, "He is directly locked up and confinement. After ten days and half a month, it depends on whether he will do it."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't come up with bad ideas." Old Qian shook his head slightly, then smiled: "Although he didn't speak much, he was a little shaken under everyone's persuasion and finally told a place name."

"What place name?" Yu Feibai asked quickly, and Wang Guan was also quite concerned.

"Kaifeng!" Qian said in contemplation: "According to our speculation, he should have wanted to say that Mr. Zhu should be in Kaifeng. Or, something hidden in Kaifeng..."

"What's hidden?" Yu Feibai said in surprise: "Is it the batch of fakes?"

"I don't know." Mr. Qian was a little puzzled: "But it doesn't matter. His attitude is becoming increasingly loose. I believe that it will take the initiative to tell it out in no time."

"When he confesses, Mr. Zhu probably ran away long ago." Yu Feibai sighed, and what he said was true.

After all, Mr. Zhu is not stupid either. Meng Jian has been caught for so long. I guess he should have received the news and I don’t know where he is hiding. If you want to dig him out, it may also depend on luck...

"Wang Guan, you have always been lucky."

At this time, Yu Feibai suggested: "Why do you go to Kaifeng to get your luck?"

"...Let me rest for two days before talking." Wang Guan did not refuse.

"Well, let's take a break for two days first, and we'll go together at that time." Yu Feibai touched his chin and said, "I have a premonition that something interesting will definitely happen after going to Kaifeng City."

"Your premonition... seems to be not very accurate." Wang Guan teased: "And always cause trouble. Be careful when you are caught by Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng. The dog-headed guillotine is serving..."

"roll."

Yu Feibai said angrily: "I dare say that this time the premonition is absolutely accurate. If it is not accurate, I... will not go to Kaifeng in the future."

"cut!"

Wang Guan directly expressed his contempt, knowing that Yu Feibai does not live in Kaifeng, and he will not work there, so it doesn’t matter whether he goes to Kaifeng in the future.

Anyway, after two or three days of rest, under Yu Feibai's urging, the two of them really packed their luggage, and then they rushed all the way to Kaifeng, which was the place depicted by Zhang Zeduan on the River During the Qingming Festival.

Of course, it is the same as many famous ancient capitals. Kaifeng, which was once the ancient capital of the seven dynasties, naturally became a modern city after war and the progress of the times. High-rise buildings constructed with reinforced concrete can be seen everywhere. Only in some specific places can some ancient remains be appreciated.

This is called success and failure, and under the economic tide, people overturned all ancient buildings to facilitate the construction of a modern city. However, decades later, I found that everyone began to miss ancient buildings. Whether it was to promote Chinese traditional culture or to tourism income, some cities began to rebuild ancient buildings.

Speaking of which, this is also a cycle of reincarnation. When you don’t pay attention to it, you will naturally abandon it like a waste. But suddenly you find that what you throw away is a good thing, so you quickly pick it up. Or you think it is a behavior of quick success and short-sightedness.

However, this is also a helpless fact. After all, decades ago, China was in a state of poverty and backwardness, and even the basic problem of food and clothing was not solved. Talking about the protection of cultural relics was purely a joke. Now that living conditions are better, we should pay attention to it slowly, which is in line with the laws of development of things.

This has been like this from ancient times to the present. After a chaotic era, it will definitely take decades of rest and recuperation to become a world-governing rule. Once the world-governing rule, the cultural industry will naturally flourish.

This is what is now called smart civilization construction. In the 1990s, it was because cultural construction was ignored, so many jokes were made in the process of foreign exchanges. The lessons of the past cannot be ignored.

Back to the point, after arriving in Kaifeng, the two immediately found a place to stay. At the same time, Wang Guan asked casually: "Feibai, you can say it now, what are you planning to come to Kaifeng for?"

"Of course I'm looking for Mr. Zhu." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Isn't this a good idea..."

"This is just one of the purposes." Wang Guan curled his lips and said, "I don't know you yet. What a slight chance it would be to look for Mr. Zhu in the vast sea of ​​people, but you are eager to come, and it is definitely a ulterior motive."

"What a ulterior motive? I'm a good intention." Yu Feibai naturally retorted: "Even if the chance is slim, I have to do my best."

"Tsk, who believes it?" Wang Guan chuckled and shook his head: "You don't have such a noble enlightenment."

"I didn't before, but it doesn't mean I don't have it now." Yu Feibai vowed: "As these days, I often go to Banshan Temple to listen to Master Banshan's teachings, and then I was enlightened and suddenly realized..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Wang Guan couldn't listen: "Since you have realized it, why don't you get into a monk and become a monk?"

"I just had a simple enlightenment, but I didn't see through the world." Yu Feibai said angrily: "I am very young now and haven't enjoyed enough life yet. What kind of monk is it?"

"I'll just say it." Wang Guan nodded, then his face turned up: "I'm not kidding, let's talk, what's the purpose of your visit to Kaifeng?"

"Of course I'm here to find Mr. Zhu and..."

While speaking, Yu Feibai asked mysteriously: "Have you heard of Chaiyao?"

"Chai Kiln?"

In an instant, Wang Guan's heart moved: "The rain passed by the sky and the clouds broke, and the color of the future is like a firewood kiln?"

“Yes, that’s it.”

At this time, Yu Feibai was very excited: "It is as green as the sky, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, sounds like chimes, and a piece of wood worth a thousand gold coins."

"Of course I know Chai Kiln, which is known as the top of all kilns in China in history, and is also a porcelain kiln named after the surname of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong. But no one can discover its kiln site, which leaves a mystery for the ages." Wang Guan frowned slightly and said, "You are not trying to tell me that your purpose in Kaifeng is to find Chai Kiln porcelain?"

"I am a good brother, I can see through it at a glance."

Yu Feibai smiled and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's what I think."

"Uh... have you woken up?"

At this moment, Wang Guan couldn't help but reach out and touch Yu Feibai's forehead to confirm whether he was confused.

"I don't have a fever."

Yu Feibai directly patted Wang Guan's hand open, and then said a little annoyed: "I know that the Chai Kiln has been lost, and it has even become a rare thing in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. As for now, nothing has been passed down."

"Just you know."

Wang Guan nodded and said, "From the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the firewood kilns have been very rare. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it became a legend. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was even more exaggerated, so it was said that the firewood was worth a thousand gold. In fact, no one had seen real firewood kiln porcelain at that time."

"Even if there are some so-called Chai Kiln porcelain now, there are some questions. There is no sufficient evidence to prove that things are real Chai Kiln porcelain. If there is no clear record in historical materials and confirming that there has been such a thing in history, some people would probably think that Chai Kiln is just a huge lie."

While speaking, Wang Guan spread his hands and said, "You are not unclear about this situation. You actually want to find a Chai Kiln. Are you a little too ambitious?"

"If I only found it myself, I would definitely not have any hope, but Isn't it you?" Yu Feibai said with confidence: "With your luck, the possibility of discovering the Chai Kiln porcelain is definitely higher than mine."

"You are really confident." Wang Guan felt speechless.

"It's not that I have confidence, but that I have confidence in you..." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "I won't talk anymore, let's go and go to the antique market in Kaifeng. Maybe I'll find something."

Under Yu Feibai's drag, Wang Guan had to stagger and follow him.

Speaking of which, Kaifeng is famous for its cultural ancient city and has always been a place for gatherings of antiques and cultural relics. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty and until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many shops of ancient books and cultural relics were concentrated in the Daxiangguo Temple area in the center of the city.

It is said that the rhyme of Li Qingzhao and his wife changing their clothes to buy ancient books and inscriptions and calligraphy happened in Xiangguo Temple. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these antique shops were closed. After the reform and opening up, although some antique shops were reopened, they did not have much climate. Until the construction of the Songdu Yu Street, it became a larger antique market.

The so-called Songdu Imperial Street is an antique commercial street specially established by Kaifeng to reproduce the style of the Song Dynasty Imperial Street. According to historical records, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo Imperial Street started from the Xuande Gate of the Palace in the north, passed through Zhouqiao and Zhuque Gate, and went directly to the Xunmen of the outer city. It is more than ten miles long and two hundred steps wide, and is the main street for the emperor to enter and exit, showing dignity and dignity.

The newly built Yujie was built on the original Yujie ruins. It starts from Xinjiekou in the south and ends at Wuchaomen in the north. The corners on both sides stand symmetrically, and pavilions are lined up one after another. The plaques, couplets, guitars, and fonts are all taken from the records of the Song Dynasty, and are antique.

The shops on the street have their own characteristics, operating Kaifeng specialties, traditional commodities, antique calligraphy and paintings. Walking on the Imperial Street seems to have crossed a thousand years of history in one step, making people full of infinite imagination about the prosperous scene of the Song capital in the past.
