Chapter 189: Eventful

In the 90s, Yanjing was still a bit rustic, the roads in the city were far less wide than in later generations, there were not so many cars on the streets, and the most common means of transportation was bicycles.

When the red light comes on at the intersection during rush hour, you'll see rows of cyclists blocking the intersection and then slowly passing through the intersection like a school of fish when the green light comes on.

Compared with the 80s, the clothes of men and women have become fashionable, and men and women can already be seen wearing suits and leather shoes on the street, and although there are not many women wearing dresses and high heels, they can occasionally be seen, and some women are wearing lipstick.

The prayer hall of the Temple of Heaven is a little dilapidated, the Temple of Earth is still barren and full of vitality, and the writer who wrote the prose of the Temple of Earth seems to go to the Temple of Earth from time to time to rest and meditate;

After the contemporary magazine was released, the driver Xiao Wu drove everyone through the streets, and at the same time introduced some famous attractions in the capital to a few people, and finally the car stopped not far from the Jinshui Bridge on Chang'an Avenue and brought everyone to the Forbidden City.

If you don't go to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall when you come to Yanjing, you are embarrassed to say that you went to Yanjing.

As the capital of China, the entire Chinese have an extremely strange mood towards this ancient city, with yearning and jealousy, awe and ridicule, but the most is curiosity and longing.

In the era when tourism has not yet risen and transportation has not yet been perfected, ordinary rural people have never been able to leave their hometown thirty miles away in their lives, and even entering the city is a very luxurious thing, let alone entering Yanjing City.

The impression of the city to most Chinese at this time is the Tiananmen Tower in the picture and the great statue hanging on the tower.

This picture of the Forbidden City, where the portrait of a great man is hung, appears on various textbooks and posters, and is the first Yanjing building known to the people of the whole country.

In the perception of most people in China at this time, Tiananmen Square is more famous than the Great Wall of the Forbidden City, which is like a glittering throne, where every powerful person stands here and looks down on the Central Plains, announcing their existence to the world.

Therefore, after Guanyang arrived in Yanjing, the first thing to see was Tiananmen Square, then the Taizu Memorial Hall, and finally the Forbidden City.

When Guan Xiaojun came to Yanjing for a tour in his last life, it was in the late nineties, when the prosperity of the capital gave him a great shock, and when he visited the Forbidden City, he didn't finish it all morning, so he knew how big this palace was.

The patterns on the ground path in the imperial garden are decorated with small stones, which made him feel very surprised at that time, and the rockery stone has never been seen.

But when he came to Yanjing again and again for meetings and visited the Forbidden City many times, the shock to the soul was much smaller, and the building that was very huge at the beginning slowly found that it was no longer so huge, and the stone paths in the Imperial Garden were also everywhere in the country, and there may be such decorative paths on the side of the road.

With the development of the times and the increase of his vision, the buildings and things that shocked him at the beginning were no longer enough to move him.

Just like now, Guan Yang and Guan Shanhu sighed while walking in the Forbidden City, they had never seen such a large ancient building complex, and the oncoming gilded unicorn dragon made them tremble.

And Guan Xiaojun has lost the feeling of freshness, but has a little more strange feeling of things and people, this place, he came more than once in the last life, and now he comes again, and finds that in fact, this place is still a little changed, at least the Taihe Hall still allows people to enter, and the large "gold bricks" paved with the ground are still stepped on, and even the emperor's throne can be seen closely.

In a few years, if you want to see these things again, you can only stand outside the threshold and look at them.

Guan Xiaojun carried a Seagull brand camera with him, and his backpack contained several rolls of film, at this time the film was very expensive, Kodak film cost almost fourteen yuan a roll, and ordinary people were reluctant to buy it at all.

Zhang Xiaowan didn't know that Guan Xiaojun had a camera at first, but after she knew, she specially gave Guan Xiaojun a few rolls of film, and the little girl was worried that he would not have enough.

After filming in the hall, everyone continued to visit.

At this time, it can be seen that someone is scraping the gold dust on the copper cylinder with an iron sheet on the gilded copper cylinder placed on the roadside for fire prevention, and the staff of the Forbidden City do not care.

Compared with the vulgar habit of later generations of tourists to write "so-and-so to visit here" on the building, the few people who scraped the gold dust of the copper cylinder were even more excessive, and the staff of the Forbidden City did not interfere in this matter, which is really speechless.

These people squatted next to the copper cylinder, scraping gold dust with a spatula in one hand and a handkerchief under the other, all with fanatical expressions on their faces, their eyes blazing and focused.

The gold dust on these gilded copper jars has a thick layer, and scraping off one is enough to make a gold ring.

"Hey, how can these people do this!"

Guan Yang was extremely unaccustomed to this phenomenon, "What are these staff members doing?

Guan Xiaojun shook his head and said, "How do you know that these people are not staff? After they have scraped all these vats, it is enough to make a few gold bracelets!"

Guan Yang was indignant, "Then it's too unreasonable to watch them do it like this!"

Guan Xiaojun said with a smile: "Take a photo of them, it should be commemorated." ”

When he pointed the camera at the few men with scrapers, a middle-aged man stood up, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Guan Xiaojun ignored his noise, adjusted the camera at an angle, and took two or three photos in succession. After he put the camera down, the middle-aged man on the opposite side had already walked over menacingly, pointing at Guan Xiaojun, "Are you deaf or blind? Who asked you to take it?"

Guan Xiaojun looked at Xiao Wu, the driver beside him, "Brother Wu, why don't you deal with it?"

Xiao Wu, who was dressed in military uniform, nodded, and strode towards the middle-aged man, "This comrade, please pay attention to what you say!"

When the middle-aged man saw that Xiao Wu was a soldier, his face suddenly became a little unnatural, "What do you want to do?" I can tell you, this is the Forbidden City, not a place for you to go wild!"

Guan Xiaojun no longer paid attention to this matter, and reached out to hold Zhang Xiaowan's hand, "Let's go, Xiaowan, let's continue to move forward, there are many beautiful things in it!"

Zhang Xiaowan nodded vigorously, as Guan Xiaojun slowly moved forward, Guan Yang liked to watch the excitement, and wanted to see how Xiao Wu would deal with these people, but found that Guan Xiaojun didn't wait for them, so he could only turn around and follow quickly, but in the process of chasing Guan Xiaojun, he also looked back from time to time.

The quarrel behind rang out, and it was getting louder and louder.

After a while, Guan Yang caught up with Guan Xiaojun and said loudly: "Fight, fight!"
