Qin Hui also has two friends, Xu Wei is not the only brother who came, and there were two handsome young men behind him, one of them was a little older, wearing a dark green cotton robe, stable and generous, and the other was a tall and thin man with a fair face, a standard Jiangnan scholar, but his face was a little embarrassed, he peeked at Tang Yi, and lowered his head again,

Xu Wei hurriedly got up from the ground, trotted over, and invited the two of them to Tang Yi's boat.

"Yes, this is the great grant, the word is duanfu." Xu Wei pointed to the slightly larger one and said: "People also have the name of a prodigy, they recite a thousand words a day, and they are quick to think." At that time, the private school teacher came up with a pair: Jing Wei Tongliu, Qing Si Ying, and Turbidity Si Shui. Duan Fu responded: The cold is abnormal, drink water in summer, and drink soup in winter. Everyone in Shaoxing City knows that this time the township test is the second place, a strong contender for the champion, you should be careful! ”

Zhu Dazhu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare you compare to Tang Jieyuan in that little ability, I have long heard that Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang mentioned Tang Jieyuan's name, and I admired it in my heart, and I happened to meet Mr. Qingteng, so I came along the way." At first sight, Tang Jieyuan was really beautiful, and he admired him so much. ”

As soon as Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang arrived, Tang Yi understood that the feelings were all under the heart of the sect, and it was strange that he could get together with Xu Wei.

Tang Yi didn't even dare to say that he had a short study day, and he had to ask Brother Duanfu a lot, and Tang Yi didn't have any shelf at all, he was very humble and easy-going, and he also had a good impression.

Xu Wei pulled over the other one, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, do you still know him?" ”

Hearing what Xu Wei said, Tang Yi also looked at it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Isn't this Tao Dalin, who is the opposite pair with us?" ”

The young man bowed in shame. Said sincerely: "I didn't know the height of the sky at the beginning, it was really a class to get an axe, fortunately, Tang Gongzi and Brother Wen pointed out, so that Da Lin knew that there are people outside the world, since the last literary meeting, Da Lin has studied hard. In this Zhejiang township test, I won the first place by luck. ”

Wow, it's another solution!

Hey, Zhejiang's one, two, three!

It is really exciting to have a small ship that contains the essence of Yingtian and Zhejiang provinces.

Tang Yi also called Cao Zichao and Wang Shimao over, everyone was young, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they soon became good friends. They simply moved to a ship and headed north together.

The six people are all talented, whether it is talking about poetry and essays, or talking about the present and the past, three teachings and nine streams, five elements and eight works, all of them are refined, especially Xu Wei is a kaleidoscope. There are his gags, and the boat laughs and laughs. It has never been broken.

It's just that after entering Shandong, they can't laugh.

It turned out that the canal was also damaged in the earthquake a few months ago, and the river yamen was stepping up repairs, but the silver of the imperial court could not be sent, and it was difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice, and it seemed that it would not work for a few months.

Fortunately, Tang Yi has the ability. Everyone set off on the boat, got on the carriage, galloped all the way, and got closer and closer to the capital.

On the carriage, Tao Da danced and said, "I have heard about it a long time ago." Grandpa Cheng built the capital into the three-headed and six-armed Nezha City, with nine gates, four gates of the imperial city, three streets and six cities, which was very lively. I also heard that when the city was repaired, it alarmed the dragon male and dragon mother of Beihai, they wanted to take away all the water in the capital, and the general Gao Liang chased out of the city, and the big gun in his hand pierced the water Lou, and the capital had water again. This time in Beijing, I want to take a good look at where the Dragon King is pressing! I also want to see how majestic and solemn my Ming capital is! ”

Tao Dalin was talking happily, when suddenly the carriage stopped, Xu Wei opened the curtain, looked outside, and said: "Yu Chen, come out, the capital is guaranteed to surprise you." ”

"Really? I want to know ......."

Tao Dalin jumped out, only to take a look, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes almost fell off.

Is this an imaginary capital?

There is no majestic atmosphere at all, the eyes are full of ruins and broken walls, the tall city walls are shattered, there are city wall bricks everywhere, and even the city walls standing in front of them are full of huge wounds, hideous and terrifying.

Outside the ruined city walls, there are countless victims of the disaster, the old and the young, waiting to be fed, their thin clothes are not enough to withstand the cold wind, they shiver, the hungry and cold mother has long since lost milk, the baby can not suck milk, grinning and crying, the woman covers her face and sobs.

Tang Yi suddenly felt that his eyes were tingling, and he couldn't bear to look at it. The last time I went to Beijing with my father, I answered into the Kou, and the people were so desolate, this time I didn't come, but the earthquake came, and it was still the poor people who suffered.

Tang Yi had known about the earthquake for a long time, but how could the cold words be shocked by reality!

The dignified Ming Empire, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, turned out to be such a miserable scene, what about other places? What's more, this is not the first time, almost every year, only this year is more serious. The six of them looked at each other, they all clenched their fists, their chests as if they were blocked by something, and the heavy pressure made them speechless.

The carriage silently walked into the city gate, Tang Yi jumped out of the carriage, picked up a city wall brick, and hugged it to the carriage. Tao Dalin didn't know why, and asked, "Okay, what are you doing here, making inkstones?" ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, he reached out and pressed on the brick, and with a little force, the brick fell off with a clatter. Seeing Tao Dalin's eyes, "My God, do it, you still have hard qigong?" ”

The great professors next to him saw the door: "What kind of hard qigong, it's not good to be bricks!" He slapped his face, and this time, the bricks shattered, and one large brick became two.

Tang Yi picked up a large piece of it, pointed to the mud on it and said, "Brother Duanfu, Brother Yu Chen, I am guarding the gate of the country towards the Son of Heaven, facing the invasion of the Tartars, and millions of living beings in the capital, relying on this city wall. Therefore, the construction of the city wall is the most rigorous, but to use good green bricks, you must be able to withstand the hammer strike, the size and weight are required, not the slightest difference. In order to enhance the adhesion, it is necessary to mix it with glutinous rice juice and egg white, only in this way can it ensure that it will not be bad for a hundred years and resist the attack of the tartars! ”

"My goodness, so strict!"

Zhu Dazhu and Tao Dalin opened their mouths wide, they took the bricks, looked at them carefully, not to mention the hammer, even their fingers could be crushed, and then look at the mud, there were no eggs, no glutinous rice, just some crispy loess, and there was sand in it. Ordinary people have to use sticky river mud to build houses, and the dignified city walls of the capital are not as good as ordinary people's houses, which is really incredible! Or that the man who built the city wall was so bold that the sky could not contain his courage!

In this earthquake, only the outer city that had just been repaired was shaken, and the inner city from more than 100 years ago was still standing.

On the one hand, it is solid and reliable, and on the other hand, it is vulnerable, and the strong contrast makes people even more depressed.

It is no wonder that when he became an ancestor, the Ming Dynasty had strong national strength, fought in the south and the north, went to the West seven times, and the voice of national prestige was incomparable. Now, he was bullied by the Tartars to the door of his house, and was turned upside down by a group of pirates.

The two walls of the city reveal everything.

Who can not have an account in their hearts, but everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. can only silently watch the Yan family's father and son and their henchmen regard the safety of the Ming Dynasty and millions of living beings as child's play.

The big guy entered the city, and Zhu Dazhu and Tao Dalin were unwilling to trouble Tang Yi anymore, so they resigned and went to the Zhejiang Guild Hall. Xu Wei didn't care, he knew that Tang Yi was enjoying it, and he followed him to eat and drink spicy food.

This time, there was no need for Tang Yi to bother, Zhu wrote a letter to his brother Zhu Xizhong early and asked him to help arrange it. How dare Zhu Xizhong slack off on his sister's order, he deliberately prepared a five-entry courtyard opposite the Gongyuan, across a street, spacious and quiet, and specially arranged five chefs of Huaiyang cuisine to be responsible for the diet of Tang Yi and others, and all aspects were arranged very properly.

It's just that everyone saw the dilapidated scene of the outer city, and they didn't have any thoughts, so they hastily ate something and went back to their respective rooms to study.

Tang Yi just read two articles, a family member came to report, saying that someone was visiting, Tang Yi greeted him, and as soon as the two sides met, Tang Yi laughed and came to a bear hug.

"Brother Yicheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, your nose is getting bigger and bigger"

Cao Dazhang touched his exaggerated nose and said with a smile: "Don't joke." ”

"By the way, Brother Yicheng, I brought some Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar and meat, come and try it."

Cao Dazhang's eyes lit up, but he shook his head again and said, "Okay, let's eat it later, Xu Ge Lao asked me to invite you over, hurry up!" (To be continued.) )
