Chapter 21: Into the City

Wan Qiyang entered the bedroom room alone, looked around and was worried, this is not his home after all, he can't find a suitable place to save a thing, what should I do? After a look around, and finally the eyes fell on the pillow where I slept last night, and found that there was a pillowcase on the pillow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Wan Qiyang can't think of where to put it, there is no way but to decide to put it in it, he doesn't mean that he wants to guard against anyone, the main purpose is just to facilitate his storage and search, and also to avoid the pillar After they find it, they will have to find an excuse to explain.

first took out the jade plate and mobile phone and put it in first, and then took ten taels of broken silver and put it in, and then put the satchel on the bed, and the broken silver was hidden everywhere on his body, and finally took these boxes of medicine, thought about it and put it in, and finally took out two boxes after a while, cefixime dispersible tablets, Fenbid, he thought maybe it would be useful? Then remove the outer packaging, understand the applicable symptoms and dosage of the medicine, destroy the outer packaging, put the shredded paper in a pocket and find an opportunity to throw it away.

In the end, Wan Qiyang combed his hair, tied it up with a turban, and wore a hat outside, which was protruding from the top of the hat in the Ming Dynasty to facilitate the placement of the bun. The weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is just right to wear a hat. When Uncle Ma and Wan Qiyang left, Wan Qiyang found that Uncle Ma was carrying a small bag in his hand, "Yangzai, you have to carry this thing with you, otherwise you don't look like a person who goes out to do errands, so as not to be caught by officers and soldiers and interrogated about what you do." If you meet someone interrogating you, they will say that they heard about the explosion in the capital and came in to look for their relatives, who were in the city that day and have not yet returned home. Uncle Ma even thought of this step for Wan Qianyang, which made Wan Qianyang feel that he was still too tender to go out and go to the rivers and lakes! This is experience, and you have to learn!

"There's a big cake that your aunt baked for you, hehe, I don't remember that your aunt reminded me, okay, now it's time to go!" Uncle Ma walked in front, and Wan Qiyang also had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, "What a simple person, I haven't done anything, but others really treat me as a family." ”

The two of them walked for an hour, and they still watched a lot of people rushing back and forth along the way. Because this road can only be regarded as a small side road, and after a quarter of an hour's walk, you will come to the main route of north-south traffic, when there will be more people, and the road will be wider, because the carriages on the road can shuttle back and forth.

It should be about half past eleven in the morning, because there was a delay in the Fu family for a while in the morning, and then I prepared at home for a while before leaving, it was almost nine o'clock when I left, Wan Qiyang felt a little tired at this time, and sat down to rest by the way, "Uncle Ma, let's rest, I remember that I seem to be back on the main road ahead." ”

"Yangzai, you have a really good memory, yes, let's turn a corner and get to the main road, and then we can see the capital after walking for half an hour." Uncle Ma often walks this road, and it can be said that he can find the way with his eyes closed.

Wan Qiyang took out the pancakes, gave half of them to Uncle Ma, and ate them first, and Uncle Ma basically figured out his character, so he took the cakes and ate them without much delay.

"Auntie is so delicious, Uncle Ma, I think I can walk the rest of the way by myself, you can go home first in a while!" Wan Qiyang felt that Uncle Ma had already walked such a long way with him, and he should be fine, and he could find his way.

"No, I don't know what to say that I have to watch you enter the city, I heard that the city gates were half closed yesterday, and you are only allowed to enter and not be allowed to go out, and I don't know what the situation is today." Uncle Ma was eating and talking about the news he heard yesterday.

"It's okay, I've memorized what you said." Wan Qiyang still thinks it's better to let Uncle Ma go home early.

"I've said I'll send you to the gate of the outer city, let's go, I'm done eating and I'm energetic now." Uncle Ma didn't care whether Wan Qiyang followed or not, and got up and walked out first.

Wan Qiyang was very helpless, he quite understood why Uncle Ma did this, there was a feeling that a child was very reluctant to go out to be a parent for the first time, and this is what his mother was worried about.

Wan Qiyang hurriedly finished eating the last bite of the pancake and followed Uncle Ma's footsteps, turned a corner and saw the main road not far away, this main road is the main artery of north-south traffic, and it is also the major traffic artery. There is an outer city on the south side of Beijing City, while there are no other three sides, which were originally built to defend against foreign enemies during the Jiajing period. Originally, it was planned to build a week around the inner city, but due to lack of financial resources and other reasons, only one side of the south city was built, and the work was hastily called off after the east and west embraced the inner city. The outer city walls of Beijing are much lower than the inner city walls. The outer city wall structure is basically the same as the inner city, its circumference is about 14.4 kilometers, the outer side is 7.06 meters high, the inner side is 5.92 meters high, the average base thickness is 12.24 meters, the average top thickness is 9.24 meters, there are seven city gates such as Yongding Gate, You'an Gate, Guang'an Gate, Xibian Gate, etc., its area is equivalent to the Chongwen and Xuanwu districts of Beijing today, before the Republic of China, there are more common people and Han officials living here, there are many teahouses and restaurants, guild halls and theaters, there are unique cultural customs.

When Wan Qiyang came to Beijing when he was in college, he found that there were many place names with the word "door" in Beijing, and they seemed to be the coordinates of the city. Although most of them are now gone, for the ancient city of Beijing, they are the most real memories of those past years.

When it comes to the city gate of Beijing, the old Beijingers will first say such a sentence: "Inner nine outer seven imperial city four, nine gates and eight classics and one bell", referring to the inner city, the outer city and the city gate of the imperial city. Among them, the "inner nine" refers to the nine city gates of the inner city with Zhengyangmen as the center. refers to the Dongzhi Gate and Chaoyang Gate in the east; Xizhi Gate and Fucheng Gate in the west; Desheng Gate and Anding Gate in the north; Chongwen Gate, Zhengyang Gate (Front Gate) and Xuanwu Gate in the south. The nine gates in the inner city are also known as the "Nine Gates of the Beijing Division", and they were the most heavily defended and important gates in Beijing back then.

"Outer Seven" refers to the outer city gate that was added and repaired in the 32nd year of Jiajing in order to strengthen the city defense. Parallel to the "first three gates" of the northernmost and inner city are the Dongbian Gate and the Xibian Gate, the east and west sides are the Guangqu Gate and the Guang'an Gate respectively, and the south side is the Zuo'an Gate, the Right Anmen Gate and the Yongding Gate that leads directly to the Zhengyang Gate. The gate of the outer city encloses the living area of the common people, which was the liveliest place in the whole city of Beijing.
