The sky is about to dawn, but Ying Tianfu has already begun to be lively. Mule and horse-drawn carts run through the streets and alleys, all of which are busy collecting leaf incense.

They put the collected night incense into large vats, and when the buckets were filled, they covered them with plant ashes, covered them, and transported them outside the city to sell them to farmers who farmed the land.

And those who do business also start the day's preparations, either carrying burdens, or pushing wheelbarrows, pulling their belongings to set up stalls at the designated locations of the government.

In an ordinary courtyard house, there are two ordinary families. These are two brothers, the old man helps the kitchen in the restaurant, and the woman is a well-known matchmaker in this neighborhood.

The men of the second family work as brokers in the dental industry, and the women weave cloth at home and do some embroidery work to supplement the family. The old woman who is still alive lives with her youngest son, and she is in good health and can help her daughter-in-law weave cloth and draw silk, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also good.

The old man left this two-entry courtyard, the eldest inherited the main house and the rear wing, the second divided the east and west wings, and the two brothers divided the inverted seat room in the south.

Because the children of the two families were still young and there was still a surplus in the house, the two families vacated a few more houses and rented them to three families who came to Yingtianfu to do small business. Every month, after deducting the hands of the yamen, you can still earn a rent.

Nowadays, people's livelihood is stable, food prices are not high, and housing prices are not high. But this family is filial piety, and the relationship between brothers and concubines is also good, so life is prosperous.

The old woman got up early in the morning, collected her own night incense, and collected the night incense of several tenants, and sold it to the alley to the night incense seller.

The alley is narrow, and the big car can't get in, and these tenants are embarrassed to sell the night incense for less than a penny, so they cheapen the old woman.

The night incense of a dozen people in a courtyard can also be exchanged for three or four copper every morning. The old woman is not pickled, and with this living money every day, she can also buy some snacks for several grandchildren and granddaughters, and several grandchildren also like her.

After washing the night pots by the well, the old woman came back and put the clean night pots at the door of each house.

A small figure stealthily dressed, lifted the curtain a slit, and slipped out.

The old woman saw that it was the eldest grandson of her second family, and she didn't care, and was about to go into the house to light the fire, but when she saw that this grandson and Fugui had taken a wooden pier from the corner of the yard, they were about to run out.

The old woman couldn't help it this time, ignoring that the others were still sleeping, and shouted: "Ergouzi, it's not dawn yet, why are you going?" ”

"Grandmother, don't shout......" Ergouzi hurriedly put his finger to his mouth.

But this time it has already alarmed others, and in the east wing, there was a loud cry: "Mother, mother, the second brother ran away." ”

"Mother, the second brother didn't take us to ......"

A shrill voice followed. "Ergouzi, you dare to run for the old lady, I will let your father break your legs!"

Then another man yelled: "Ergouzi, come back!" "A man came out in a small coat and disheveled, carrying a bamboo stick in his hand.

Ergouzi glanced at the old woman complainingly, and said weakly: "I didn't run, I was just anxious, so I got up early." ”

"It's just dawn, it's still early to see dragon boats and trapeze, why are you going so early! Come back, wait for Sanwa and Niuniu to get up, call your eldest brother, Sister Qiao, you go together. ”

Ergouzi was a little anxious, and said: "I went to the city wall with Fugui and them yesterday, and the government occupied a piece of the boss's place, so there was no good place to go late." ”

The man didn't listen, raised the bamboo strip in his hand and said, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu invited you to eat stewed bamboo shoots and roasted pork?" The lake is so big, you can't even have a lively place! ”

The second dog was helpless and could only come back unhappy. When his mother dressed the two little ones and washed their faces, the two little ones pulled the placket of his clothes from left to right and refused to let go again.

The second dog was disgusted, but he could only sigh helplessly, who made him his younger brother and sister!

At this time, two older children came out of the backyard, they were a little older and already had the appearance of little adults. This is the cousin of the second dog's uncle's family.

In addition, the youngest son of a small businessman in Huizhou who rented their family, Fugui, a group of little guys went to the north gate to see the excitement together.

Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the street is much more lively, and many craftsmen have also set up stalls to sell some zongzi or gadgets.

The second dog stuffed ten coppers that his mother stuffed into his pocket today, he has always loved to be generous, first bought a big bun for each person, six buns, six coppers, and there are four left.

Fugui got a big bun to eat, and he was a little reluctant to go, and when he saw that Sanwa was pestering and wanted to eat candy man, he spent two coppers to buy a sugar man, and licked it with Sanwa, and smirked from time to time.

Sister Qiao, as an older sister, took Niuniu's hand all the way forward. She's old, it's not such a festival, and she can't go out casually. So I was in a good mood today, and I bought a red head rope for Niuniu to help her tie up her withered yellow hair.

But when the group came to Taipingmen, they were already crowded, and no one thought that there would be so many people today. The group, all children, could not move and could only lean against a corner behind the city gate and wait for the crowd to disperse.

Ergouzi complained all the way: "I knew that there were many people today, so I had to go out earlier, but I was dragged down by you." ”

They want to wait for less, but they don't want more and more people, and the city gate is completely blocked here.

All the officers and men of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jingwei Command Division were dispatched, and with their rectification of order, the crowded situation improved a little.

However, because there were too many people outside the city walls, the government had already ordered that everyone could not leave the city.

At this moment, several children cried in disappointment, especially Ergouzi, who had been thinking about coming to see the flying man today for the past few days, but he didn't expect to be blocked at the base of the city wall now and couldn't get out.

At this time, a group of adults, escorted by officers and soldiers, were preparing to ascend the city wall, but they heard a group of little ones crying there.

When a long-bearded official saw them, he hesitated, stopped, and walked over to them again.

"Why are you crying, children?"

Originally, Li Zigong, the eldest brother of the second dog, was the biggest here, but he had always been wooden, and he couldn't even speak when he saw this group of adults.

Ergouzi sobbed and said: "Xiaomin Li Zifeng is a person who has returned to the clouds, and he wants to go out of the city to see the dragon boat, but he can't get out." ”

Seeing that they were not lost, the faces of several officials relaxed a little and they laughed one after another.

The first one said: "Your Majesty decreed that you will have fun with the people today, but you can't let a few little guys lose their interest." Come with us and get a good seat for you today. ”

The second dog looked at the corridor of the city wall, a little scared. "The small people dare not go to the city wall privately."

The adult laughed and said, "It's a smart baby...... With my permission, it's not a private registration, do you dare to go up? ”

Although I was a little scared, I wanted to see the flying man. Ergouzi nodded and said, "Xiaomin dare to go!" ”

Seeing that although Ergouzi was young, he also knew that he would protect his younger brothers and sisters inside, and he liked him smartly, the adult nodded and asked, "Li Zifeng, it's a good name, have you ever been in Mongolia?" ”

"This name was given by my father after spending ten coppers to invite Fang Xiu at the corner of the street, of course it sounds good. But my father and my mother still call me a second dog. ”

The adults laughed again, and they didn't think much of it was about taking a few children up the city wall.

When they reached the wide city wall, an armored guard arranged them at the two battlements facing the Xuanwu Lake, and the lord also asked them to take some dried fruits and fruits on the table.

He commanded: "A few of you stay here, don't run around, if you collide with the nobles, even the adults will not be able to save you." ”

Several children were overjoyed when they saw that the view here was wide and the Xuanwu Lake was at their feet. I got food again, and I felt that today was a lucky day.

Ergouzi nodded solemnly and said, "Xiaomin is provincial, and he will take care of his younger brothers and sisters." ”

Today, on the west wall of the Taiping Gate, there are places where the officials of Yingtianfu admired the dragon boats and hang gliding. The real dignitaries and nobles were invited by the royal family to several islands in the middle of Xuanwu Lake to enjoy the scenery.

It's a better location, and it's closer to see the glider in the sky, and no one is disturbed yet.

Only Zhu Zhanji is still a little interested in the folk entertainment of the Ming Dynasty, although he has been in this era for more than ten years, but when he was a child, he could not come out of the palace, and although he often went in and out of the palace gate when he grew up, there were still very few times to enjoy with the people.

Today, the entire Ying Tianfu is extremely noisy because of the dragon boat and the trapeze, although he can't squeeze into the crowd like an ordinary person to play, but he still can't hold back his curiosity, and with his guards, he came to the most lively Taiping Gate along the city wall.

Niuniu held a big white peach and nibbled down the corner of her mouth with juice, although the Li family had a good background, but this fresh fruit was reluctant to buy more. Niuniu's impression was the first time she had eaten such a delicious thing, and she didn't care about the greed of her brothers and drooled.

But he didn't hold it all of a sudden, and the big white peach fell to the ground with a thud, and then rolled out along the green bricks on the city wall.

The built-up area is 43 square kilometers, the city wall of the capital is 35 kilometers long, including the Jiankang City of the Six Dynasties and the Jinling City of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with a height of 14 to 26 meters, the narrowest part of the upper width is 2.6 meters, the widest part is nearly 20 meters, the lowest width is 14 meters, and the widest is more than 30 meters.

There are more than 13,000 battlements in the entire city wall, 200 nests, and 13 urns.

Zhu Zhanji led the guards and rode forward on the city wall, although the speed was not fast, but he did not prevent a child from suddenly jumping to the middle, Yang Zhangde, who opened the way in front, did not pay attention, and hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse and jumped off the horse.

"Whose little doll is dead!"
