A second โ of small โณ said ยง net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
The inner city is located in Dong'anmen, outside Donghua Gate, and winds north to the northeast of the imperial city. Early in www.biquge.info the morning, Fan Hongdao called the father and daughter of the Li family and set off for the inner city.
In fact, from the beginning, Father Li didn't think about alarming Fan Hongdao to go with him, just to find out the news of the enemy Zhao Jian, and it was enough for their father and daughter to sneak into the inner market. If you can find out the law of Zhao Jian's actions, find an opportunity to kill him!
But they didn't expect Fan Hongdao to be so active and enthusiastic, not only to help arrange, but also to go together, Daddy Li didn't want to brush off Fan Hongdao's kindness, so he had to listen to Fan Hongdao's opinion.
Fan Hongdao took the Li family's father and daughter out of the door, came to Dongcheng Dengshi Street, and exchanged money with Ma Yuan here. Then they went west together, passed through Dong'anmen, and there were officials to inspect, mainly to check the people entering the country, but not to pay much attention to the goods. The horse clerk is an old businessman, and he has an inner city survey in his hand, and he is allowed to bring people in.
Fan Hongdao and the father and daughter of the Li family passed through the customs with the men under Ma Yuanwai, and then they entered the inner city street.
Fan Hongdao stood here, didn't look at the bustle first, but looked at the yellow tiles and red walls on the west side, as well as the tall Donghua Gate Tower.
This red wall is the palace wall of the palace, and inside the palace wall is the palace of the Eight Classics. Fan Hongdao also knew that entering from the Donghua Gate was the Wenhua Hall where the Son of Heaven was studying diligently and the seat of the cabinet, and it was not far from the East Palace of the Prince.
At this time, his feeling was very wonderful, the inner market was almost opened on the edge of the palace wall, and there was only one wall away from the palace, and the palace must be able to hear the noise of the market outside the wall, this contrast really made Fan Hongdao unbelievable.
I can only sigh that the majesty of the heavenly family can't resist the power of consumption, there are tens of thousands of concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids in the imperial city, and they need a commercial market. Over time, a high-end bazaar was formed three times a month, and not only eunuchs and palace maids, but also ministers and nobles would come to purchase goods.
Ordinary people outside want to inquire about the news and clues of a certain eunuch, and this is almost the most suitable place, so the father and daughter of the Li family will try their best to enter the inner market.
But at this time, the father and daughter of the Li family found that the situation was not the same as imagined. They were standing in the middle of the flow of people, a little helpless, no one noticed them, and no one stopped them, but they didn't know what to do.
People who have the ability to come to the inner market to consume, the worst is also a good eunuch palace maid, even if they buy things for the master, they are also eunuchs and palace maids trusted by the master, and the others are mostly high-ranking officials and high-ranking domestic slaves in the capital, or scholars who come to hang out.
Compared with ordinary civilians, these people have a great sense of superiority, and how can the Li family, father and daughter, who are reckless from the bottom of the rivers and lakes, have a common language with these people? Even if they want to find an opportunity to inquire about something, they can't talk.
Standing here, without saying a word, Daddy Li felt the deep malice from this world. Originally, Father Li still felt that Fan Hongdao didn't need to come with them, and he couldn't help but have a bit of an "eventful" evaluation of the overzealous Fan Hongdao, but now he only feels embarrassed.
Father Li, who had no clue, turned around with difficulty in the flow of people and returned to Fan Hongdao's side. At this moment, the horsemen outside the command set up a pergola along the side of the street, and placed all the books in the pergola, and Fan Hongdao stood under the pergola to read.
Raising his eyes and seeing Daddy Li return to him, Fan Hongdao quipped, "Didn't you want to inquire about the news? Why did you come back again?"
Father Li was very discouraged and said to Fan Hongdao: "Please also ask Mr. Fan for guidance." He finally realized that the set of things in the rivers and lakes could not be mixed up in the capital, and Fan Hongdao's routine made sense.
Fan Hongdao patted the stacked poetry collection and said to Daddy Li: "What else? โ
"Tai Student Fan Hongdao Poems" is a popular reading book in Beijing recently, so it sells very well, and some people buy it from time to time. Fan Hongdao himself was present again, so there were always some people coming and going around the bookstall, some chatting with Fan Hongdao, and some purely watching the excitement.
Whenever a eunuch or palace maid came to buy a book, Fan Hongdao would knock on the side and ask a few words. The father and daughter of the Li family watched it a few times on the side, and they did the same, standing on the edge of the pile of books and trying to talk.
Others only think that they are bookstore guys or Fan Hongdao's entourage, and they don't feel abrupt. After a morning like this, it is a pity that I didn't hear any useful news, and some of the eunuchs and palace maids I met didn't know Zhao Jian at all, and some had heard of Zhao Jian's name but didn't know anything about it.
Near noon, Fan Hongdao was about to go to dinner, but a thin middle-aged scribe came to the bookstall and picked up the books, and finally picked up Fan Hongdao's poetry collection.
The bookstore guy hurriedly stepped forward to sell, and the middle-aged scribe frowned at the poetry book and said, "Change it to a brand new one, don't have an inscription." โ
At this point, Ma Yuanwai and Fan Hongdao on the bookstall were very surprised. Today's main feature is Fan Hongdao's handwritten inscription poetry collection, which is indeed very popular, but I didn't expect there to be a guest who pointed out that he didn't want to inscribe.
Fan Hongdao looked at it and found that this middle-aged scribe had a white face and a thin voice in retrospect, and he immediately understood that this person was also a eunuch from the palace, but he was wearing a scribe's robe.
Fan Hongdao's mind changed rapidly, he knew that there was an inner study hall in the palace, and regularly selected smart little eunuchs to study in the inner study hall, teachers were generally selected from the Hanlin Academy, and the eunuchs who could study in the inner study hall were often no less knowledgeable than Jinshi.
Therefore, the eunuchs who look like scholars must have read in the inner study hall of the palace, and most of the eunuchs who have studied in the inner study hall will enter the celebrant eunuch. And the celebrant is the most core department in the eunuch yamen, which is equivalent to the cabinet of civil officials.
All in all, Fan Hongdao can judge that the status of the middle-aged eunuch in front of him will definitely not be too low, and at least he will run errands in the celebrant eunuch.
Thinking of this, Fan Hongdao stepped forward and saluted: "Does the old gentleman also appreciate this collection of poems, why don't you have an inscription?
The middle-aged eunuch raised his eyelids and said with a smile: "It seems that you are Fan Hongdao? Young people don't think so much, I don't want to write an inscription, it's not because I have any likes or dislikes." โ
Fan Hongdao replied: "People in the world collect books and paintings, and they all love to attach the inscription of the original author, but I just wonder why the old gentleman did the opposite." โ
The middle-aged eunuch said noncommittally: "In learning, the more curiosity, the better it is, and there is no end to knowledge." But in everyday life, too much curiosity isn't necessarily a good thing, are you sure you want to know the answer?"
These words seemed to be tricky and aroused Fan Hongdao's temper, so he didn't believe it, it was nothing more than an inscription without an inscription, what reason could he have to frighten himself? He Fan Hongdao was not frightened!
