November 28, the winter solstice.

The winter solstice is the earliest of the 20 solar terms, and the custom of the winter solstice has been established as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (or even earlier).

The winter solstice, also known as the sub-year, the winter festival, the long solstice. It is an indispensable festival in the festival culture of the Han people. Whether it is the court or the people, there will be a grand expression on this day.

Before and after the winter solstice, the gentleman settles down, the officials are desperate, and the large families in each mansion will also select the capable people to drum and blow the sheng, and play the law of the yellow bell to celebrate. Even if they are poor, they will accumulate pretenses in a year, so that they will be able to wear new clothes, prepare food and drink, and worship their ancestors. The official release and celebration are just like the New Year.

As a royal family, although there are no lights inside and outside the palace on this day, it is also very grand. When Yin, there are palace people ringing the wake-up bell, and when it is postponed, the palace concubines gather in Changle Palace, welcome the royal car out of the palace, first go to the Shoucheng Palace to ask the queen mother, and then move to the Fengxian Palace, prepare the royal master of ceremonies, salute, and worship the royal ancestors!

At noon, the palace gate was wide open, and the six royal cars rolled out, escorted by the Praetorian Guards on both sides, and the emperor with the crown entered the imperial city proudly, and drove directly to the Lingyan Pavilion to worship!

During the Shen period, the emperor and the empress ascended to the Tianque Gate of the Imperial City and looked down on the folk celebrations outside the imperial city. Declare to rejoice with the people, and accept the congratulations of the people and officials!

In front of Tianque Gate is Dingding Street, and the Tianque Gate is opposite the Luoyang City Gate called Dingding Gate, which becomes an absolute straight line that goes straight to the north, and there is no slightest deviation. Moreover, the tower on the Dingding Gate is nine inches shorter than the Tianque Gate!

Of course, it is impossible to see Dingding Gate from the Tianque Gate by relying on eyesight - Luoyang City is too big!

In front of the Tianque Gate, in addition to the moat and the Jinshui Bridge, there is also a huge square called Zhaowu Square!

There is no sculpture of anyone on the square, only a big Han emperor flag fluttering in the wind!

The flag is changed by the Praetorian Guard every day without delay!

It extends from Tianque Gate to Dingding Gate. On the long street. Brightly lit, orange lanterns are hung on every shop on this golden street, and from above, the whole street looks like the Milky Way, reaching to the end of the sky! It's truly beautiful!

And with this Milky Way, it is the two banks of the canal and the entire Gongyu Mountain. On the day of the winter solstice, the lighthouses on both sides of the canal are lit up in unison. There will also be colorful palace lanterns on Gongyu Mountain.

The winding canal is like a bright moon, and the palace lights are like stars, dotted with the Milky Way...... The whole city is like a reflection of the gorgeous night sky, and it is so beautiful that it cannot be repeated!

In it, pedestrians seem to be like immortals in the heavenly palace. Even though it's freezing, the staggered popularity of the market makes the market hot. Compared with the Lantern Festival, it is not far behind.

The permanent population of the imperial capital Luoyang is 700,000 households, 2.4 million people, plus some foreigners and black households, the total population is about 3 million. Even if not all of them were dispatched, only one percent of them would be a very scary number. The whole Dingding Street is shoulder to shoulder, and it is even more lively than during the day!

Of course, most people are heading towards Zhaowu Square. The purpose is, of course, to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the queen of the world!

The emperor is the god in the hearts of the Han people. Although since the Holy Ancestor. The royal family rarely carried out propaganda and education to deify the emperor. However, the deep-rooted idea of the "Son of Heaven" has become more and more profound.

He is the only leader of all the Han people, and he is the greatest support of all the people! This kind of opportunity to see the sky is not something that comes every day!

Shen Yun was in the crowd. The one that goes is called a pain.

As soon as the wound on his back healed, he hurried out of the Imperial Hospital. It's not that he doesn't want to live, it's that he really doesn't have the face to live. Think about it, since he crossed over, he has had to stay in the hospital almost every once in a while during his days in Luoyang, and he is about to use the hospital as a dormitory. Coupled with something on his mind, it would be better to leave early.

But as soon as I returned to the dormitory, I caught up with the winter solstice the next day. Fang Cheng and James had to drag him out into the streets.

Shen Yun said that he didn't want to go, but James said to him: "I had a chance to meet the emperor of your country, but because of you, I gave up. Can't you let me take a look from afar this time? Zi said, Zhi En Tu retribution, Yuan Rangjun, you are also a scholar, how can you not listen to the teachings of the sages! ”

"Zi also said, it is difficult for a gentleman not to be strong! Why don't you listen? Shen Yun retorted.

I didn't think that James's cheekiness didn't know who he learned so thickly, so he actually raised his head and said with dignity: "I am a Roman, not a Han, so I can listen or not." What's more, I don't seem to be a gentleman. ”

Shen Yun was really defeated by him, so he had to set off together.

When he arrived at Dingding Street and found that the crowd was surging, James also regretted it, and said on tiptoe: "I knew that there were so many people, so I wouldn't come out, don't talk about seeing the emperor of your country now, even if I can see the shadow of Tianque Gate, I can count it as earning!" ”

Fang Cheng said with a smile on the side: "I said a long time ago, if you want to see Tianyan, you have to line up at Zhaowu Square just after noon, but you just came out after class in the evening, this is simply what you asked for!" ”

James muttered: "How do I know that you Han people still have such a high enthusiasm for seeing the emperor, in Rome, Augustus often stands in the square to give speeches, and many people don't want to hear it, let alone see it!" ”

"Hehe, your emperor is so pitiful!" Shen Yun quipped.

James argued: "No, no, I'm not talking about the ...... of the Senate and the citizens before Augustus, who are not talking about Augustus, but before Augustus."

Shen Yun didn't hear the words in the back, because there was a tsunami-like cheer from the front. James's words were completely drowned out.

"Hooray! Banzai!! Hooray!! ”

It must be the emperor who appeared at the head of Tianque Gate. But no matter how Shen Yun and the others tiptoed, they still couldn't see any figure in the distance.

They have just walked to the middle of Dingding Street, there is still a long distance from Tianque Gate, there is a black pressure in front of them, they are all crowns on the Han people, how can they see the emperor!

In this era, there was no custom of kneeling when the emperor was seen, so everyone stood in place and cheered loudly. This cheer could simply lift Shen Yun out of the street.

After James followed the crowd and pulled his throat twice, he also felt very tasteless, too, this emperor, who couldn't even see a hazy figure, was not much fun cheering. What's more, the emperor is not his emperor. So he quickly drooped his head again and said, "Teng Yujun." There have always been so many people on this street. Do you still have to stand here all the time? ”

Fang Cheng smiled: "That's not necessary. After His Majesty ordered the celebration to begin, the flow of people in Zhaowu Square resumed moving, and the street was naturally loosened. But there are so many people, it's not convenient to go anywhere. I think we'd better go back! ”

James looked back and saw that there were people everywhere, blocking the way they came, so he said to Shen Yun: "What's going on?" By the way, Yuan Rangjun, don't you have an industry on Dingding Street? Why don't we go to your place and rest? ”

Shen Yun had just recovered from his back injury, and he was a little tired at the moment, so he said, "Okay!" But there is a little further ahead, and Bohai Pharmacy is ahead. ”

……

The two teams of stone lions in front of the Bohai Pharmacy were hung with pale yellow silk cloths. However, the white cloth on the plaque of the pharmacy has not been removed. This is for the Bohai Hou Shouxiao. The clothes on Shen Yun's body are also plain white, and he doesn't wear any sky blue school uniforms.

Squeezing through the crowd, Shen Yun saw several doctors and men standing at the door of the pharmacy, all of them tiptoeing in the direction of Tianque Gate, but they didn't notice Shen Yun's arrival.

Shen Zhan, who was still leaning against the gate to watch the excitement, found Shen Yun and hurriedly welcomed him in. The guys and doctors at the door were all severely reprimanded by Shen Zhan, and they all went back to the pharmacy in a gloomy manner. Each has its own job.

After Mu Si left. Bohai Pharmacy was handed over to Shen Zhan to take care of. In addition to the dock side, Shen Zhan also needs to take care of this side. Although it was only for a few months. But it can be seen that the fatigue is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, the last time I saw Shen Zhan, he was still quite strong, but when I saw him at this moment, he was a little old and tired, and his black hair also gave birth to a little gray. If it weren't for the winter solstice today, there would be a lot of people on Dingding Street, and it is estimated that Shen Zhan would still be busy at the wharf.

"Master Hou, I heard Shen Wu say that you were injured some time ago, are you better now?"

Welcoming Shen Yun and the other three to the backyard living room and sitting down, serving tea, Shen Zhan asked with a smile.

"It's much better, it's fine. The gold sore medicine that Uncle Zhan sent last time was very useful. By the way, I asked Uncle Wu to bring someone over to help you, but what about others? Why do you still work so hard! ”

Shen Wu and Bai Xiaosheng also followed Shen Yun to the imperial capital, Shen Yun was usually at school, so it was naturally impossible for them to follow him all the time, so let Shen Wu go to Gongyu Mountain Beppu to live, and let Bai Xiaosheng help Shen Zhan take care of business.

Shen Zhan waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be tired, don't be tired, I'm still busy." There are also activities on the canal today, there is no need to load and unload goods, only some trivial things need to be watched, I think that Mr. Bai can handle it, so let Shen Wu take care of it with him over there first, and come here to guard it himself, no matter how you say it, it is our Shen family's industry, it's always right to be strict! ”

Shen Yun nodded: "Well, I'm relieved to hand over this place to Uncle Zhan!" ”

Shen Zhan smiled humbly.

Fang Cheng listened fairly steadily, but James couldn't sit still for a long time, and when he saw that their words had come to an end, he hurriedly said: "Yuan Rangjun, I see that your pharmacy still has a second floor, can you see farther there?" ”

Fang Cheng knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Even if you stand on a high place, you can't see the Tianque Gate Tower." ”

"It's always good to see it!" James was disgruntled.

Shen Yun also smiled and looked at Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan immediately said: "Oh, Master Hou sit down for a while, I'll arrange it, and let a few sons go upstairs later." ”

The second floor of Bohai Pharmacy can be directly upped from the backyard, but it is a place where medicinal materials are stored, so it is a little messy, Shen Zhan called a few guys to clean up a little, and then let Shen Yun and the three of them go up to the second floor, come to the open balcony on the second floor, and lean on the railing to overlook.

Sure enough, as Fang Cheng said, there is no Tianque Gate here. It's not that it's not high enough, but the second floor is where the signboards of each store are hung, and almost every house has a balcony, and the view is all blocked by these signs, and you can only vaguely see the bright palace lights in the corner of the Tianque Gate Tower.

James was immediately disappointed when he saw it, and muttered, "How do you look at so many signs?" ”

Fang Cheng was also bored, and said casually: "Then you climb on the railing, lean out, maybe you can see it!" ”

"Hey, that's a good idea!" James immediately rolled up his sleeves in delight and prepared to climb out of the railing.

Fang Cheng stopped: "Isn't it?" Are you really climbing? I'm just talking! ”

James smiled: "It's okay, I'm very good!" As he spoke, he lifted his leg over the railing.

"No matter how good you are, you can't play with your life! It's not time to play for your life! Come down! Fang Cheng was anxious, and pulled James's arm to death.

Shen Yun also grabbed James anxiously and said, "Hey, jumping off the building in Dahan without permission is going to punish the Nine Clans, hurry up!" ”

James laughed: "Yuan Rangjun, don't you want to scold me, where does this article come from in the law of the Han Dynasty?" Besides, punish my nine clans? Aren't you afraid of triggering a war between the two countries? ”

Shen Yun was also amused by his words, but then said, "The parents whose bodies are affected by the skin must not be easily damaged. You've read a lot of books about the sages of the Han Dynasty, so you always know this truth, right?! Hurry down! ”

James ignored it, and the leg also stepped out, grabbed the railing with both hands, leaned back, tilted his head to look in the direction of Tianque Gate, and said, "Don't worry, my skills are still good......"

In the freezing weather, the balcony railing was already frozen frost and snow, slippery, and before James finished speaking, his feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person suddenly sank down.

"Holy!"

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng were shocked at the same time, and the vicious dog pounced on James's two arms in unison.

At this moment, James was already frightened, his feet were in the air, his hands were scratching in front of Shen Yun and Fang Cheng's eyes, and his mouth shouted: "Wow, so high, so high, pull me up!" ”

I don't know where the courage just now has gone.

James grabbed his hands indiscriminately, and accidentally picked out Shen Yun's eyes. Shen Yun was in pain, and his hand instantly loosened, and James screamed even more, but fortunately, Fang Cheng grabbed his arm and didn't let go, but pulled it upwards and pulled James up a few inches.

James was also like a drowning man, trying to grab the last straw, but he didn't see that Shen Yun was in pain, he was defenseless at all, and his waving claws directly grabbed Shen Yun's neck, and he jumped up a few inches, already pulling above the railing.

Unexpectedly, his move hurt Shen Yun, in order to catch James, he had already leaned out of the railing with half of his body, and now he was caught by him like this, and the whole person was caught off guard, and he actually fell off the railing like this......

At the moment of volleying, a thought flashed in Shen Yun's mind: Damn, Lao Tzu is going to be hospitalized again! (To be continued.) )
