Chapter 191: Chasing the New Millennium (7)

After breakfast the next day, Fang Bin took Yu'er to visit the Confucius Temple and the Qinhuai River first. Because it was not too far from the residence, Fang Bin did not drive, and walked to Yu'er hand in hand.

"Hehe, looking at your innocent and happy appearance, people who don't know you think you're a college student!" Fang Bin clasped Yu'er's hand, looked at Yu'er, who had changed into a beautiful sky blue sleeveless lady dress, and the white bow belt tied at her waist, which added infinite ladylike flavor and youthful Yu'er, and joked with a smile.

"Really?" Yu'er smiled happily, looked down at herself again, and said prettyly: "Anyway, no one knows anyone, so let you show off, right?" I made another female college student! After speaking, he looked at the man with a smile and smiled mischievously.

"Hehe, what's that?" Fang Bin's mood was also much brighter, and he gently twisted Yu'er's waist: "It seems that I am very flowery?" Then he held the horn in his hand and shouted loudly: "My wife is - Huang - Yu - Rong!" The sudden shout attracted a sideways look.

"Y-what are you doing?" Yu'er was taken aback, and looked around nervously, but fortunately, Fang Bin's shout, like a breeze, only stirred a few leaves, and everything was calm again.

"Hehe-hee-" Fang Bin smiled narrowly, looking like a scoundrel: "Didn't you say that you don't know anyone?" Afraid of what? ”

"Humph!" Yu'er straightened her face, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Don't be naughty!" After saying that, he hung the man's arm, grinned and walked forward.

The Confucius Temple was built in the Song Dynasty and is located in the south of the city center, next to Gongyuan Street on the north bank of the Qinhuai River. It is a bustling downtown that has evolved from a cultural and educational center, and is commonly known as the Confucius Temple. In fact, it includes three major building complexes: Confucius Temple, School Palace and Gongyuan. It's the peak tourist season. The Confucius Temple was crowded with people. Crowded in the crowd, you can see either the heels of the tourists in front of you or the back of your head. Fang Bin held Yu'er's hand tightly and walked slowly in front of one shop after another, and the most of them were all kinds of beautiful rain flower stones. Yuhua stone is a flower-shaped stone, but also a stone flower, quality beauty, shape beauty, pattern beauty, color beauty, image beauty, artistic conception beauty; The color may be soft or vibrant, and it is very smooth to the touch. Yu'er liked it very much, and chose a lot of them, one for her own appreciation. The second is to take it back and give it away.

Walking along the flow of people, what is surprising is that there is the famous Qinhuai River in front. The Qinhuai River is about ten meters wide in this section of the Confucius Temple, which seems relatively narrow. In the shade of green trees on both sides of the strait are large and small hotels or teahouses, most of which are carved beams and painted buildings, glazed tile roofs, and red lanterns outside the house or round or square, which looks antique.

"Jinling is ancient and victorious, and the evening is far away. The lonely tower in the daytime, the green mountains see the six dynasties. Yan fan flower bottom lane, crow scattered willow Yin Bridge. Qinhuai water under the city, flat and self-ebbing. A song by Yuan Ren Fu Ruojin "Jinling Evening View". The prosperity and decline of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties have been exhausted! Yu'er looked at the painting boat tourists and pilgrim restaurants not far in front of her, and sighed with emotion.

"Huh. We're thinking about the past. Fang Bin grinned: "The wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley." In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. See! In front of it is Liu Yuxi's Wuyi Lane! ”

Not far from the Qinhuai River is Wuyi Lane, the alley is not big, but it is winding and winding, and it can be regarded as a deep winding path. Fang Bin clasped Yu'er's hand and poured into the alley with the crowd. In front of Wang Xie Hall, the genealogy, history and calligraphy of Wang Dao and Xie An are displayed, and the bronze statue of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, is also enshrined! Like the other tourists, the two of them crackled and took many pictures.

Out of Wuyi Lane, I went to Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Jiangnan Gongyuan was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty and was the largest imperial examination hall in ancient China. Only in the examination area of Jiangnan Gongyuan in the Qing Dynasty, there were 58 high school champions, accounting for 52% of the total number of champions in the entire Qing Dynasty. Celebrities of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wu Chengen, Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Wu Jingzi, Weng Tonghe, Zhang Jian, etc. are all from this. Located in the southeast corner of the south (nj) capital, it is connected to Taoyedu in the east, Qinhuai River in the south, Zhuangyuan Realm in the west, and Jiankang Road in the north, which is the ancient "treasure land of feng shui". According to the "South Window Chronicle", Jiankang Gongyuan was founded in the fourth year of Xiaozong Qiandao in the Southern Song Dynasty (1168), founded by the prefect Shi Zhengzhi, and was originally a place for the county government school examination. The area is not large, and the number of candidates is not large. If there is an increase in the number of candidates, the examination will be held in a monastery. In 1368 A.D., after Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set the capital of Nan (NJ) Beijing, and the township test and the meeting test were held in South (NJ) Beijing. After the continuous expansion of the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Jiangnan Gongyuan has formed a 20,644 examination rooms, and more than 1,000 official rooms for the chief examination, supervision, invigilator, inspection and the same examination, promotion of deacons and other officials, plus meals, warehouses, miscellaneous servants, guards and other rooms, and more pools, gardens, bridges, passages, and watchtowers.

"Hehe, if I was also born in the world, I wonder if there is a chance to be a lifter or a jinshi?" went up to the Mingyuan Tower, silently reciting the painting "If the order is strict, see the toast prostrate and low, and the crowd is endless; The same moon is bright, and the characters of the country are unobstructed. Fang Bin held Yu'er's hand and said with a smile.

"Hehe-hee-" Yu'er looked at Fang Bin and sneered: "You are so smart, you will definitely be able to be a jinshi, and maybe, like Lord Tao Peng in your hometown, be a big official and start a generation of foreign style!" ”

"Hehe, you fart shoot well, I like it!" Fang Bin smiled happily: It is pleasant to get along with a smart woman, she will not let you feel disappointed, will not make you awkward on inconsequential issues, and will not laugh at herself as smart. He said with a smile: "However, if you really want to take the exam, the eight-strand system is not so easy to do." I heard that in the late Qing Dynasty, under the influence of the Westernization Movement, there were new topics in the township examination. It is said that there was an exam question from a new character, the name of the day "On Napoleon", which is difficult for a group of nerds who are buried in ancient books, only know the Four Books and the Five Classics, where is there a Napoleonic word? Searching for dry intestines, I can't find them all over, I have no choice but to dig nonsense! There is a candidate who started the question like this: Fu Xiang Yu is powerful to cover the world, how can he not take it? ”

"Hehe-hee-" Yu'er smiled and bent over, panting, hanging Fang Bin's arm, and sneered: "Where is there such a burying person? ”

"It's really not burying them!" Fang Bin helped Yu'er and grabbed her waist, "Eight strands and one article, how many talented and handsome people have been restrained?" I miss the Han, Tang, Yuan, and Song dynasties, and I am far away from the West! In the past hundred years, he has been bullied, cut the land and pay compensation, and feed the tiger with meat, isn't it the crime of eight shares? ”

"That's right! If these talented sons and daughters of China had devoted all their energy to the cause of science, and had not engaged in those ups and downs, or eight strands of acid, our country would not be what it is today! Yu'er also had a straight face, and then grinned again: "Let's still play with ours, right?" Don't worry about the country and the people, today is here to find happiness! ”

"Yes!" Fang Bin smiled heartily: "The happiest thing is Zhong Mingding's food!" Shall we go feed the stomach first? Then he took Yu'er's hand, came to the snack bar full of tourists, and ordered scallion pancakes, five-color cakes, shredded chicken noodles, and thin-skin dumplings. I stayed until the evening, and then dragged my tired body back to the ibis hotel.

"Sir!" As soon as he walked to the door, a thin figure carrying a shoeshine box ran out from the side, shouting crisply.

"Huh? How are you? Fang Bin and Yu'er were stunned at the same time: Isn't this the little girl who held a card and begged last night?

"It's me! Mr! The little girl smiled shyly, took out a handful of change from her pocket, and stretched it out in front of Fang Bin: "We are partners, and we will repay your first day's loan today!" ”

"Hmm-" Fang Bin's heart moved, suppressed his surprise, and asked with a slight smile: "How do you know that we live here?" How long did you wait? ”

"That's easy!" The little girl looked proud: "Didn't you drive the car last night?" There is a parking permit in front! He grinned again: "I waited for you, and I didn't wait in vain, just now, I polished a few pairs of shoes!" ”

"Huh?" Fang Bin was overjoyed: This little girl is not simple! You can observe from the subtleties, find yourself, and wait for others to work at the same time! After looking at it carefully, I found that she had bought a new shoe-shine tool, her hands were dirty, and she couldn't bear it, so she didn't want to accept the money she handed over.

"Why don't you count, sir?" The little girl asked crisply.

"Don't count! You won't be missing me. Fang Bin grinned.

"Less!" The little girl sneered: "I only gave eighteen yuan, and the interest of that one dollar, I am ready to repay it with service!" Please, sir! The little girl sneered, put down the shoeshine box, and sat aside.

"Oh-well!" Fang Bin was happy for the little guy's shrewd mind, and sat down with a smile. The guests who came in and out next to him, saw the lively place, and they all gathered around, and Yu'er stood next to her and told the story of last night vividly.

"Ahh Not bad! Nice little girl! After Fang Bin finished wiping, the tourists took turns to sit down and polish her shoes, teasing her while wiping. From the laughter, Fang Bin and Yu'er knew that the little girl's name is Wang Xiaoqi, eleven years old this year, in the sixth grade of primary school, a single-parent family, her mother's name is Wang Yumei, and her younger brother is named Wang Xiaojun, who is eight years old this year.

"Xiaoqi, you're about to take the junior high school exam? Come out to shine your shoes and don't delay your studies? Yu'er asked worriedly.

"It's okay aunt! I'll go home in the evening to make up for it! He sneered again: "I have never dropped the top three in my exam!" When Fang Bin heard this, his heart was sour, he took Yu'er's hand and walked upstairs. (To be continued......)
