This is a very strange phenomenon, in the Song Dynasty, talented people were not happy when they became horses, but only people with pig heads and pig brains felt that happiness was boundless after becoming horses. For example, Wang Xu, this guy writes poems well, and his painting is also very level, and he is very respected among the top poets and writers at that time, but after he became a colt, his whole life was ruined. Because in the Song Dynasty, according to the law of the ancestors, the only official position in this life is the horse, no matter how talented the person is, he must take the horse as a lifelong career, and pleasing the princess is the only purpose of his life.

In this case, most of the talented people began to give up on themselves, and Wang Shu was the worst of them, he was angry with the princess of Shu and died depressed, when she was dying, Shenzong personally served the soup and sent medicine, and asked her what she wanted, the princess just said: "Thank you to the imperial brother for restoring the official position of the concubine." The princess died the next day at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. When Shenzong learned the bad news, he urged him to go without eating, and he cried sadly when he saw the gate of the princess's mansion, and later dropped out of the court for five days.

After the death of the princess, her nurse felt indignant for the princess, and exposed all the things about Wang Xu, Shenzong was saddened by the death of his sister and sister, and was naturally furious after hearing about it, and beat Wang Xu's eight concubines and assigned them to soldiers as wives. So after the funeral, Shenzong demoted Wang Shu to Junzhou again, and was not released until after the death of Song Shenzong.

After the death of Shenzong, the Empress Dowager Gao returned to Wang Xu's position as a horse, and he returned from the depreciation of the south, and heard a familiar singing voice on your **. He said, "This is a spring warbler! Under the search, it was really the old man back then, but the beauty was no longer there, so she had to say goodbye and wrote a poem "Butterfly Love Flower":

"The light rain shines at night. Jincui Tower, reflecting Hibiscus Swamp. The willows hang down in the wind. Tender lotus countless green Tian small.

It seems that this garden is infinitely better. When I returned from exile, I was in a little mood. Sit until dusk and people are quiet. It should also add Zhu Yan Lao. ”

At that time, Wang Shu also sighed with emotion: "The beautiful woman already belongs to Shazhali, and the righteous man has no ancient Ya" - he was lamenting that there was no black slave in his hands (Kunlun Nugu Ya), and helped him rob the beautiful woman.

The position of a colt is a double-edged sword. It not only ruined the life of the princess of Shu, but also ruined all the political revenge of Wang Xudi, in this marriage, regardless of Wang Shu and the princess of Shu. They are all victims.

After Zhao Xing knew what happened to Wang Xu, he specially studied the contemporaries of Wang Xu, as well as the horses of the era slightly earlier than Wang Xu, and found that almost all people with the title of concubine had an unhappy life. He even found a statistic. By the time he was in his time, one-third of the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty had never married.

However, the folk title of "horse" lives a happy life. For example, Tang Di's house. Originally, he was just a small person, and he didn't marry a princess with an official title, just a few clan girls, but with the prestige of the five clan women, the *** he dated was actually a talent like Zhou Bangshi, and even went to Zhao Xing to enter the house. You know, since after the Winter Solstice Festival. Zhao Xing has become a holy place in the minds of Hangzhou talents. Because the place of residence here is the contemporary Wenzhong Su Shi, the top figure of the Euphemistic School Qin Guan. In addition, the guests invited by Su Shi to the banquet are not famous prostitutes and famous monks, plus a singer Liao Xiaoxiao, and the sum of them is that in terms of elegance, there is no second place in the entire Hangzhou City.

Tang Di obviously knew what Zhao Xing's house meant, and while patting his stomach and talking to Zhao Xing, he frequently looked out the window, looking forward to occasionally passing by a famous poet who shocked the world, so that he could get acquainted and achieve a good story. But Zhao Xing's servant moved quickly, and after a while, he brought the goods that Tang Di wanted from the warehouse and presented them to Zhao

A long flat wooden box contained more than 30 gems, saying that the emeralds on the white silk were all very beautiful, Zhao Xing pushed the box to Tang Di, and his five ladies surrounded him, exclaiming, but no one stretched out their hands.

The ladies of the Song Dynasty were very well-behaved and knew that when buying gemstones, customers should follow the principle that their hands should never touch the stones. Under the guidance of his wife, Tang Di picked up a long pair of tweezers, and picked out five gems according to his wife's instructions, including plain cat's eyes, and particle-shaped gems and square gems cut into olive shapes......

After he finished choosing, Zhao Xing closed the gem box and pointed it out with his left hand - piled up in front of Tang Di was a mountain, a total of 120 manuscripts, including more than 13,900 jewelry patterns, all of which were all kinds of jewelry drawings that appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Among them, there are more than 6,000 kinds of head and face worn on bald heads, more than 1,000 kinds of necklaces, more than 600 kinds of arm bracelets, rings, earrings, and waist wear...... And so on.

Tang Di opened his mouth, was stunned for a long time, arched his hand and stammered: "Why are there so many?" …… Brother Zhao, why are you collecting so many patterns? I only need to set six gemstones, you give me so much, when will I finish seeing the ground? ”

Zhao Xing was very satisfied with his collection, he stood up, walked to the cart that pulled the book, patted the high car, and said smugly: "This is life, the life of my Great Song Dynasty!" It took me more than a year to collect these atlases, and now I have only finished carving one-third of the layout, and I have not yet finished carving one-third of the jewelry patterns of the Great Song Dynasty, and there should be more, but I'm afraid it's too late.

You ask me what I am collecting these patterns for, haha, my little girl has a printing workshop under her name, I plan to print all of them into a book, each map has a number on it, if you think the pattern is appropriate, you can tell me the number, because I also have a mold factory here, specializing in making gypsum molds. Just tell me the number, and you can buy the mold pattern on the map from me.

These are what they are, is culture. It's civilization. Civilization is the appreciation of art, this is the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty, don't let it be lost......"

Zhao Xing said that his expression was a little dazed later, Tang Di deeply understood this, and he said with emotion: "Yes, I have seen many jewelry patterns from Tang paintings...... Let's not talk about jewelry, just talk about porcelain. I have a Tang Sancai in my house, the porcelain is gorgeous and colorful, but now it can't be burned, if there was a person like Brother Zhao at that time, why make this masterpiece extinct. ”

Zhao Xing heard this, but there was no proud expression on his face, because the publishing industry was extremely developed in this era, and the world's first encyclopedia was also published in the Song Dynasty, which was called "Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers", and the most complete version of this set was preserved in Japan. It is only half a set, more than 140 volumes, and only one set has been found in China, about 80 volumes.

Compared to "Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers", there are many layers involved. Zhao Xing's set of knowledge is only one-sided, so he is full of humility in the face of the brilliance created by the Song people: "This book only represents the current achievements - the current achievements of the Great Song Dynasty, but I believe that with enough information exchange, my Great Song craftsmen will create more appearances." I hope this is just a step. It allows jewelers to understand enough information from these atlases to stimulate their imagination and give wings to their thoughts. ”

Zhao Xing stroked the car like a baby. Tang Di thinks. When the other party handed him the box gem just now, his attitude was not so respectful. He took out a copy from the car, which read "Tianzi A Twenty-four: Ring Eye".

Faced with these heavy atlases that were enough to fill a cart, Tang Di felt overwhelmed by the cultural atmosphere inside, he turned a few pages to the ground in his hand, and said softly carefully: "Ah, Brother Zhao." I actually think emeralds make rings. If you can't match the brilliance of the gemstone, it is not a conspicuous point that should be done. For example, hairpins, step shakes, ......"

Tang Di's five ladies were speechless, and watched Zhao Xing dug out more than thirty books from the car and stuffed them into her husband. Zhao Xing continued: "I'm sorry, these atlases haven't come out yet, so I can't let you take them home to see them...... Where, these more than 30 books are the most popular hairpin patterns, you can take a look. ”

At this time, the servants had already brought out the ivory bone knife from the warehouse, and Tang Di had no intention of checking the shape of the bone knife one by one, he beckoned his five ladies, and each of them divided six or seven copies, choosing his favorite appearance.

Taking advantage of Tang Di and his wife being engrossed on the map, Zhao Xing escaped from the reception room under the pretext of going to the toilet, Liao Xiaoxiao saw his appearance, his body moved, and he planned to chase him out, but he was dragged by Mrs. Shu, only Chen Yiyi's feet were fast, she hit her head, pulled Zhao Xing's sleeve tightly, trotted, and said as she walked: "Brother Xing, give me a word, give me a word." ”

Zhao Xing touched the little peach man in his arms, and the little peach man made by Chen Yiyi in his pocket was panicked, he took out the little peach man, stuffed it into Chen Yiyi's hand, patted Chen Yiyi's face, and said with a smile: "There must be a reason - in this way, this autumn, the big castle behind us will be renovated, and at that time, by moving into the new house, I will officially marry you." ”

Chen Yiyi stopped, looked at the castle on the slope of the mountain, bit his finger and said: "No, they are too slow, I need to transfer another 3,000 craftsmen from the fiefdom of Yueguo, well, don't worry, if you dare to slack off, I will peel him and cramp and light the sky lantern, and I will never let him die well." ”

Zhao Xing smiled and patted Chen Yiyi's little face: "Little person, why is he talking so viciously, okay, you urge us to live in a big house this year." ”

At the end of the house, it wasn't until sunset that Tang Di picked out the jewelry patterns, and when he said goodbye, he hated that he had bought few gems, because he had already picked out his eyes, and felt that he had to have more than 30 gems to prepare all the hairpins he liked, but unfortunately his property did not allow it.

The days that followed passed day by day, and after the carnival of the New Year, the mood of the whole kingdom was lazy, from the officials to the people. In February, the Shaanxi earthquake, such a big disaster did not make people cheer up, except for the people of Shaanxi who were suffering in the suffering, everyone else was lazy to live.

In fact, this year, the people in other places are also counting the days in anxiety, and the glorious Taiping Lantern of the Lantern Festival did not bring the people the joy they deserve. This year, as Zhao Xing expected, it was another disaster year, on the 20th day of March of the lunar calendar, that is, on the 4th day of May A.D., the fifth day after the beginning of summer, Hangzhou was still snowing heavily. On this day, Su Shi wrote his first poem in the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, "Sending Qian Mu's Father to Write Poems in the Snow in Yuezhou and March 20th":

The snow knows that I have completely disappeared, and the flowers dare not float when you come.

When avoiding protégés, he drank a little, and suddenly the rider had a good move.

The fish and dragon stunt came thousands of miles, and the white remnants counted four dynasties.

Knowing that there is Huang Gong's wine, Cang Yanhua is far away.

Meanwhile. Su Zhe returned to the Song State after his envoy to the Liao State for April, and he described what he saw and heard on the way through Horqin: "Xi Tian can be cultivated, the Liao soil is straight to the desert, the thorns are not revived, what is the reason for the dryness, the mountains are also shafu, and the bushes are thin. ”

The Liao people did not care about their own climate change, so later historians used Su Zhe's poem as a basis for believing that it began in 1089. The ecological environment of the Horqin grassland has degraded from the natural landscape of forest-steppe, sparse steppe and meadow steppe to semi-desertified sparse steppe.

When other people saw Su Zhe's poem, they didn't feel the information revealed in the poem, and this poem was replied to Su Shi after Su Zhe returned to Beijing. Zhao Xing was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

After two consecutive years of severe drought, the fragile ecological environment in the north has shown accelerated deterioration, which also means that war is coming again.

The death knell has sounded, how many are weeping?

No one, everyone is busy with party fighting.

Zhao Xing couldn't see the movements of others, and only saw Su Shi burying his head in the matter. With the arrival of spring. Su Shi began to call the group to practice the effectiveness of the renovation of the West Lake, and he ordered people to build an embankment with lake mud and grass, which was called "Su Causeway" by later generations. "Su Causeway Ten Miles of Willow Silk Hanging". Six bridges were built on the embankment. From south to north, the six bridges are named: Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Pressing Dike, Dongpu, and Crossing. Therefore, there is a scene of "six bridges and smoke willows".

Su Shi erected three towers in the deepest part of the lake to mark the waterline, and since then it has been called "three pools reflecting the moon". In order to prevent the silting up of the West Lake, it is also stipulated that water chestnut root shall not be planted in the three towers. The three towers were destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in their current location during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

A few years later, Tran Gong Chuan also built the Su Causeway Sixth Bridge in Saigon, Vietnam, and the original name of the Six Bridges was copied. There is a hill on the side of the Hongqiao. There is a small pen-shaped tower on the hill pointing directly to the blue sky, and there are three Chinese characters on the tower......

Su Shi is an elegant person. He has two capable generals under him, one is Gao Yu and the other is Zhao Xing. Gao Yu is meticulous, he will organize the documents and archives that Su Shi needs in an orderly manner, and Zhao Xing's strength lies in organization. In the original history, Gao Yu was responsible for logistics, and Su Shi commanded people to carry out dredging projects non-stop and in every detail, but now with Zhao Xing, he can even let go of the specific command work, and only needs to be guided in the general direction. This gave him time to continue the ups and downs.

This year, Su Dun also grew up, and the five or six-year-old child was the most active time, and Su Shi had the heart to let him follow Zhao Xing so that he could take care of his sick body, so Su Dun followed Zhao Xing to run before and after, and he was very strong under the sun. Because of Zhao Xing's organization, it originally took five months to complete the dredging project, but now it has been completed in three months, of course, Zhao Xing did not let the Xiang army idle in the remaining time, in line with the principle of having the right not to expire and invalidate, Zhao Xing let them dig a small pond in their own castle. This pond is excavated in the style of Mingzhou Zoumatang.

According to Zhao Xing's knowledge, Mingzhou Zoumatang was founded a hundred years ago (Duangong period, 988 AD), when Chen Jin served as the prefect of Mingzhou (now Ningbo), and was buried in Maoshan in the southern suburbs of Mingzhou after his death. His son Chen Xuan guarded the tomb of his father, and settled beside the tomb with his family and built a "walking horse pond". "Zoumatang" is also a fortress-like building, and there are 630 households living in the village, about 00 people. In the 1,000 years since, this "ecological water city" has survived repeated sieges and has survived until modern times.

There is a precedent of "Walking Horse Pond", and Zhao Xing naturally built his own castle as solid as gold. The pond can be used as a reservoir in normal times, and can provide water when the castle is under siege, and can also provide water for the water clock, which can be used for washing and drinking, preventing fires and disasters, and adding to the scenery of the castle...... It is really admirable that the Chen family of Mingzhou can come up with such a brilliant idea in ancient times.

Due to the abundance of manpower, Zhao Xing built an open-air drama theater by the pond after repairing the pond. The lake, the greenery, the cherry blossoms, the weeping willows, the Gothic (Northern Wei) stone pavilion, the circular stage, and the huge reflection of the city wall make the castle look beautiful......

At the end of the summer, when the vans were doing the final repairs on the Su Causeway, Zhao Xing arrived from the construction site, followed by Su Dun, who was bouncing around, and the black guard: Tower Tyson.

Su Shi is tasting this year's new tea, it is still snowing in March this year, the severe cold has frozen many tea seedlings, this year, the bamboo forests north of the Yellow River are all frozen to death, and even the plum trees in Hangzhou have frozen to death a lot, so the new tea is very rare, so that the price is amazingly high.

Accompanying Su Shi to taste tea were Qin Guan and Yang Zuren, as well as a large number of official gentry, among them. Zhao Xing is most familiar with Hangzhou Facao Mao, the word Zemin. This guy has cooperated with Zhao Xing the most, and he has been closely following Su Shi recently, and plans to be listed on Su Shi's door wall. Su Shi recently praised him: his words and rhymes are very good".

In addition, there is Tang Di, he finally came into contact with a Wenzong-level figure like Su Shi through Zhao Xing, so he must arrive when he hears it, and such a scene must be indispensable to him.

Zhou Bangshi's kid was also present, he had eased his attitude recently, and he was very close to Qin Guan, and the two had similar poetic styles. It's like a fish in water. However, Zhou Bangshi is not like his brother, he has a stable personality, although he also goes to Goolan Washe, but he never does anything out of line. Having him accompany Qin Guan saved Zhao Xing a lot of heart.

Yang Zuren is a "professional small report", his main task as an official is to keep making small reports to the imperial court, because of Zhao Xing's relationship, his current small report is mainly a *** thing, and the spearhead is not Su Shi. It's Zhao Xing - this is what the two of them have discussed in advance.

Now, every few days, Yang Zuren describes a very reluctant plot of Zhao Xing Mazi. In his writing, the famous official prostitutes in Hangzhou have had zero contact with Zhao Xing. The lingering plot made Zhao Xing suspect that this guy must be a young master in modern times.

Of course, there is also Zhao Xingdi's credit, after Yang Zuren wrote the synopsis of the story, he would hand over the letter to Zhao Xing without sealing, and then let Zhao Xing polish it, and then he would transcribe it later. Then it was sent to the capital through Zhao Xing's loach stack. There are many wonderful passages in this that Zhao Xing added. He has been influenced by modern culture, and he talks about making things up and detailing. Even Yang Zuren felt that his imagination was poor when he saw it.

Well, now reading and transcribing Zhao Xing's revised report has become the greatest pleasure of Yang Zuren and his wife. Although there were many entertainment projects in the Song Dynasty, according to Yang Zuren's identity, he couldn't mingle with Su Shi everywhere, so he had to stay at home, looking forward to the letter sent back by Zhao Xing, and shouting all day long: "Update, update quickly." Why not more? ”

Such people all appear on the embankment today to taste the new tea together, which shows the charm of the new tea.

Su Shi tasted tea, how could there be no poems, all the people here were acquaintances, but his poems were written to Zhou Anru, who was not present, long poems, crows and crows, Zhao Xing only saw the last few words: "The milk pot is very full, and the world is really cramped."

The mind is cool and fluttering, and the head is brisk.

In the past, people had many habits, but I have good habits and can be redeemed.

In order to ask Liu Bolun, Hu Ran pillowed badly. In this scene, Mao Peng is a fast gunner in the sycophant world, and if others can't say it, he keeps patting the loud sycophants: "Daigo empowerment - Daigo, Daigo, empowerment, top, ah!" ”

This is also Zhao Xing's heart, he originally wanted to say this word, but he didn't expect Mao Peng to be faster than him. This's ass hit the point, and as soon as he finished speaking, the audience was full of heads shaking up and down.

Zhao Xing savored the two lines of poetry: "The milk jar is very full, and the world is really cramped - this is a wonderful word, it is indeed like an initiation." ”

The Tang and Song Dynasty people drank tea, and the tea soup was foamy, and the foam was as white as milk, so they often used "fragrant milk" and "fine milk" to refer to the tea soup, and "milk ou" was the tea vessel that served the tea. The meaning of these two poems can be understood as: the tea soup in the tea vessel can be filled to a very full, but there are all kinds of deficiencies in life, and it is impossible to be so complete. Or, take it a step further: the small teacup full of tea soup is really vast, and the world outside the cup is cramped and cramped.

However, chewing on this poem carefully, the meaning of "the milk is very full, and the world is really cramped" seems to be far more than that. The meaning of it is indescribable, but it can be felt, it is really - Dai, Dai, empowerment, and topping.

The kabuki Zhan Qinqin who was present clapped his hands, and without waiting for everyone to greet him, he sang a cappella: "When will the bright moon ......?"

The singing is tactful, standing on the Su Causeway to appreciate the Su Ci, watching the scenery of the West Lake sunny and charming, the rainy day is fantastic, and the six bridges are permeated between the clouds and water. The weeping willows on both sides of the bank are like a girl's long hair like silk, the camphor trees on the side of the road are also thick like clouds, and the three pools in the distance are faintly visible in the fog and mist...... It's simply beautiful.

Su Shi is a straightforward person who can't hide words in his stomach, he is talented, and he knows that he is talented, and he is proud of his talent, the praise of the people around him makes him complacent, and the Su words sung by Zhan Qinqin make him even more drunk, and when Zhan Qinqin finishes singing, he asks proudly: "What is my word like that of Master Liu?" ”
