In fact, this result was within He Qi's expectation. If Qian Xuan was like those old stubborns, then he would not be written down in modern history. What's more, during his contact with Qian Xuan, every line of his words revealed that he strongly promoted vernacular literature.
meaning.
Qian Xuan spread the crumpled paper on the table, smoothed it, and then gave it back to He Qi, saying: "I have a good friend named Banxia who is good at writing Yuanyang genre novels. If Brother He meets him, he must
I have something to say. It’s just unlucky that the Pinellia manta is in Shanghai, otherwise I would have introduced him to Brother He.”
I don't know what Qian Xuan thought of, but he suddenly laughed out loud and said somewhat mysteriously: "But today I introduced another good friend to Brother He. He told me a few days ago that he had a bird in his mouth recently.
He kept asking me to treat him to a meal. I thought that eating with one pair of chopsticks is the same as eating with two pairs of chopsticks, so I called him. I was afraid that he had already arrived at the place and was waiting for us!"
"Wait a moment, I'll clean up." He Qi said, but she was guessing in her heart who this person could be?
Could it be the one fighting the pig?
"Sir, go ahead and I'll clean it up." Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, but she took the first step and packed up the pens and papers on the table.
The ninth month of the lunar calendar is the time when the autumn air is crisp and pleasant. At this time, there is a slight breeze. How comfortable it is. Two rickshaws are parked at the door of Wenhuiju, and two rickshaw drivers are sitting on the steps facing the sun.
He was leaning against the wall, his face covered with a worn felt hat, and he was taking a nap. When he heard someone coming out of the shop, he stood up with excitement, bowed, and shouted warmly: "Master Qian, what are you going to do?"
Where to go?”
"Bianfafang!" Qian Xuan said simply, then he picked up his clothes, crossed the carriage frame, and got into the carriage.
"Okay, sit tight." The driver shouted, pulling the car towards Qianmen Street.
He Qi sat in the second car, followed closely, and merged into the crowd.
The day before yesterday, He Qi went into the city with the wonton stall Wang Laoer. He Qi came in a hurry and failed to take a good look at the old Beiping City. At this time, he took advantage of this opportunity to sit in the car and appreciate the old times.
He Qi is from the south. He went to college in Jinling. He went to the capital for the first time in his life in 2028. He was dispatched by the head office and stayed there for several months. Now he thinks back to the capital in his mind, with its wide roads and bustling streets.
The traffic flow, high-rise buildings everywhere, and the subway that is never full of seats seem to have no overlap with the dilapidated and lonely city in front of me.
If we had to find a similarity between the two, it would probably be that some iconic buildings still exist, or the names of certain streets continue to be used, or there are always so many people on the street.
Qianmen Street still looks lively, crowded, noisy, and people with long braids, long coats, suits and ties are scattered among them at the same time, without any sense of disharmony.
There are camel teams with bells ringing, sellers carrying burdens, several carriages driving, and street vendors soliciting customers.
All this was like an old retro photo, without any color, but full of flesh and blood and warmth. He Qi suddenly had a feeling of being displaced in time and space. When he walked to a tall archway with five bays, it read "
With the words "Zhengyang Bridge", this feeling is the strongest.
He Qi couldn't help being shocked, because he had been here personally more than a hundred years later. At that time, the five archways were brightly colored and tourists took pictures, but now the archway looks like an old man in his dying years.
Lonely and weathered, even though it is located on Qianmen Street, one of the busiest streets in Peiping, it still seems lifeless.
The driver pulling the cart chatted with He Qi in a few words along the way. When he learned that He Qi had returned from the West not long ago, he seemed to be an overly enthusiastic chatterbox, comparable to the taxi drivers of later generations.
, the gentleman who returned to the West with great efforts described the magnificent history of this city.
He has never read a book, so his words are not gorgeous, and even simple is not relevant, but He Qi can feel his love for this city, so when he asked expectantly: "Sir, have you seen the world?"
Yes, tell me, which one is better, our old Beiping city or the foreign city?"
He Qi couldn't help but feel worried, fearing to offend this enthusiastic citizen, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.
When he got off the car in front of "Bianxiangfang", he was still looking forward to the answer to this question. He Qi smiled and had to pick out a more kind reply from the many words he said along the way: "Ours
Old Beiping City has a long history that cannot be compared to that of foreigners."
"That's right, ours is an ancient capital of more than ten dynasties. Where are the talents of foreigners?" The cart puller Yu Yourongyan was full of pride. After receiving a satisfactory answer, he pulled the cart and blended into the crowd.
.
He Qi also stood in the crowd, standing in the old times, thoughtfully, thinking that it was probably because although he was here, his heart was still living in the future world. If his heart was also here, he would probably
Like this ordinary cart puller, he is full of love for this vicissitudes of the old city.
"Brother He, what are you thinking about?" Qian Xuan came closer.
"Oh! I have never seen so many people before. I was dazzled for a moment." He Qi came back to his senses and said perfunctorily.
"It's not like there are too many people here. It won't be crowded until the evening. If it's a New Year or a festival, the street will be so crowded that you can't even walk. There are so many people."
Qian Xuan glanced around the street,
Finally, he landed on the plaque with the three characters "Bianyi Fang", pointed at it and said: "Brother He used to live abroad and is used to eating foreigners' food. Today I will try our own food. This is a famous time-honored brand. Tomorrow
It existed during the Yongle period of the Chao Dynasty."
If you look carefully at the plaque of "Bianxiangfang", you can notice that there are two small characters "Jinling" in the middle and top. Qian Xuan said again: "Brother He, did you see the word Jinling? Zhu Yuanzhang made Jinling his capital, and Zhu Di
When the capital was moved to Peking, this cheap shop also came with it."
However, He Qi smiled and said: "Brother Qian, don't deceive me because of my lack of education. It is clearly the Yingzong Zhu Qizhen who finally confirmed the capital of Peiping."
Qian Xuan was a little surprised and immediately argued: "Although that is the case, Peiping has been the de facto capital status during Zhu Di's period. Subsequent Hongxi and Xuande have not changed it, but Yingzong finally stamped it with a seal."
He Qi laughed again and said: "Brother Qian, before Hong Xi died, he told Emperor Xuande to return the capital to Jinling, but Emperor Xuande failed to do so. Besides, "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Records of the Yingzong" both confirmed that the Yingzong made Peiping the capital.
What a great achievement!"
Qian Xuan was even more surprised and asked doubtfully: "Brother He has also read "Ming Shilu"?"
In terms of popularity, the "Emperor" is not inferior to those great emperors who have made great achievements. Even the "Two Emperors of Huiqin" who have been stabbed by netizens 10,000 times are not even slightly inferior. Why?
Qi naturally knew.
However, He Qi did not answer directly, but pursed her lips and said meaningfully: "You eat foreign food, but your heart is Chinese!"
Qian Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a reply to what he said before about "being used to eating foreign food". He pointed at He Qi and laughed and said: "Brother He, you are also a mouthy person.
