Old Chen Lin's steps were not big, and she didn't look very fast, but Ye An found that he had to keep accelerating if he wanted to keep up with him. There was something about this old guy!
No matter who sees the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty for the first time, he will be shocked by its magnificence.
When this palace, which would be buried underground for generations to come, appeared in front of him, Ye An wished he could tear off a piece of the wall and take away the souvenir.
Yellow glazed tiles, double-eaves veranda roofs, vermilion lacquer gates, and painted dragons and phoenixes. Although the scale cannot be compared with the Forbidden City, its level of luxury is amazing!
Ye An, who was walking through the corridor, didn't follow the old Chen Lin's instructions at all.
Looking around and being curious about everything, the excavation work in Bianliang, Tokyo, can be said to be a regret for generations of archaeologists and historians.
The most prosperous, open, and advanced capital city and imperial palace in the history of the Han Dynasty was buried deep underground by the flooding of the Yellow River.
Now that he saw something "alive", Ye An even wanted to take pictures of everything in front of him and seal it up for future generations!
When Ye An saw the five intersecting brackets of red, green, blue, green, and gold in front of him, he couldn't walk at all. He stood in front of the palace and stared at the complex and beautiful building without saying a word for a long time.
Dou Gong is a unique palace component of ancient architecture. Square Dou, rectangular arch and sloping arch. Three simple pieces of wood can be spliced together with mortise and tenon techniques to form an almost perfect structure.
Not only does it look beautiful, but it can also bear great weight, support roofless eaves, and reduce the span of indoor girders.
It will reduce the load on the roof and gradually transfer it to the pillars. The specifications of the palace are also divided by it. Those with brackets are greater than those without brackets, those with more brackets are greater than those with fewer brackets, and those with more levels are greater than those with fewer levels.
Ye An didn't have enough eyes, and even though Chen Lin next to him was about to cough her lungs out, he remained indifferent.
Just kidding, facing the outstanding architectural wisdom and aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, Ye An was like a man who was about to die of thirst and plunged into a clear spring.
Unknowingly, they had arrived in front of a palace. When Chen Lin stopped, Ye An almost bumped into her. Facing Chen Lin's reproachful eyes, he could only show an embarrassed but polite smile: "There are so many beautiful things in the palace."
, the boy couldn't help but sigh."
"Without rules, there is no square! Mr. Yuanbo has already said that you, Yelang, are quite lacking in etiquette. Now it seems that is the case. When you meet the saint's official family later, you must not be rude!"
Ye An crossed his hands and saluted: "Young man, I've written it down!"
She was told to say so, but Chen Lin felt that this boy would not obey, so she snorted coldly and entered the Jiying Hall.
Along the way, he had become very disgusted with Ye An's rudeness. For some reason, he always felt that this young man was an unruly person at his core.
Ye An was also a little helpless. He really couldn't help it. It wasn't that he had forgotten the etiquette, but that everything in front of him was too attractive.
After Chen Lin came out, Ye An adjusted his Confucian clothes, straightened the Zhang Fu crown on his head, and followed him into the palace at Chen Lin's signal.
After entering the palace, Ye An could feel the luxury of the Song people. Who said that the palaces of the Song Dynasty were small and simple? Small and simple are not the same thing at all.
The huge palace is entirely covered with wooden floors, and the pillars are also decorated with exquisite carvings of coiled dragons, silk curtains, and carved caissons, all of which reveal the wealth of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
Seeing that he was "ill" again, old Chen Lin casually patted Ye An's shoulder. It didn't seem like there was much force, but Ye An felt his shoulder hit the wall.
With a deep sigh in his heart, he folded his hands in the most polite and respectful manner and looked down silently. It wasn't until Chen Lin next to him kicked him that he said, "Kick me for what?!"
Chen Lin was instantly furious: "How can I not speak when I meet a sage official?!"
Ye An lowered his head and pointed at his nose: "You want me to speak first?"
"Send a courtesy, introduce yourself to your home, and say hello!"
"Oh! Young man Ye An meets the official family, the saint, and Wan'an!"
Ye An gave a formal salute. This was the most serious etiquette taught by Wang Yuan, and it was also the etiquette that Ye An disliked the most. After saying this, he folded his hands and slowly knelt down.
But when I bent my knees halfway, I found that there was no one behind the bead curtain. There were only two pieces of clothing placed on the throne, and... nothing else.
So kneeling down became bowing down and bowing………………
Chen Lin was shocked, glanced at the screen and shouted softly: "Why don't you worship?!"
"My knees are bad, I can't kneel down and worship my clothes."
Chen Lin was furious: "The saint is the mother of the world! The clothes and hats belong to the saint. As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, why don't you worship him?!"
Ye An smiled: "The boy naturally respects the saints, and it is appropriate to worship with the courtesy of the elders, but clothes and clothes are still clothes after all, how can they be compared with the saints? If worshiping as a gift is not considered a violation of the rules?"
Chen Lin was stunned. This was the first time he encountered such serious nonsense, "This, this..." For a long time, he couldn't say a word.
"What a cunning boy. With a simple sentence, he changed "why do you worship" into "what do you worship for"!"
Liu E slowly walked out from behind the screen, the phoenix shoes on her feet tapping the floor lightly, making a crisp sound. Her words also made Chen Lin react, staring at Ye An coldly, waiting for his explanation.
Ye An looked at Liu E in shock. His shock was not at Liu E's sudden appearance, but at her head. Song people loved hairpins, but having a "flower basket" on their head was a bit too much... ………………
"Presumptuous?! How can you look directly at the saint's face?!"
The chamberlain beside Liu E saw Ye An's shocked look and immediately scolded him. In his opinion, the boy in front of him really didn't understand etiquette.
But Liu E calmly waved her hand: "You all go down!"
The palace attendants in the Jiying Palace immediately bowed their heads and left slowly, but Chen Lin did not leave. Lan Jizong also appeared from behind the screen, but he did not see the official family, which made Ye An frown slightly.
Ye An couldn't see clearly Liu E's face through the bead curtain, which disappointed Ye An, but he never thought that Liu E would say: "Chengzu, please open this bead curtain so that I can take a good look at this "Yangcheng" Yelang"!"
Ye An is different from Qin Mumu. He is a man. Saints are faceless in front of courtiers. Even if the princes stay to perform affairs, they must be separated by bead curtains. No matter how close the relationship is, the courtiers are also foreign ministers!
The bead curtain was gently lifted, and Ye An saw a woman wearing a hairpin flower crown, who still had charm. After all, she was a queen. Her face was well-kept, but she was already in her prime, and the corners of her eyes were still there. Give birth to more or less crow's feet.
Seeing Liu E's appearance, Ye An knew why Emperor Zhenzong would rather go against Taizong's wishes and marry this "other woman" back to the palace. How could he still exude the charm of a mature woman now, when he was young?!
Liu E's smile made Ye An feel good and kind, but what she said was not very pleasant: "Boy, you are the second person who dares to look directly at me like this."
"The saint is the mother of the world, and he is not afraid of cannibalism."
Liu E was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lan Jizong beside him and said again: "What you said is exactly the same as what Qin Mumu said! We must be childhood sweethearts!"
