Chapter 109: The Legend of the Nine Dragon Wall
"Future!" Wu Ye'er glanced at him with a smile, shook off his claws, and walked forward.
"Do you know the road?" Nie Xinyuan saw Wu Ye'er walking around in front with her head stuffy, and couldn't help but ask her.
"Uh, I don't know!" Wu Ye'er had a weak expression.
Nie Xinyuan looked at her funny and said, "If you don't know the way, don't go ahead!" After speaking, he rushed up and took her hand again, led her through the Baohe Palace, and went west from the front of the Qianqing Gate to the Yangxin Palace.
"Well, I know this Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor's bedroom!" Wu Ye'er still has the skills to accompany Zhu Zhu to watch palace dramas, and these palaces are familiar.
"What Xiao Ye'er said is good, but it's not right either!" Nie Xinyuan sold Guanzi.
"Come less, if you have something to say, hurry up! What's wrong? Wu Ye'er asked impatiently.
"The fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the two emperors of Shunzhi and Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty all took the Qianqing Palace as their sleeping palace, and they only moved to the Yangxin Palace from the beginning of Emperor Yongzheng." Nie Xinyuan explained.
Wu Ye'er really admired Nie Xinyuan's erudition, and couldn't help but praise: "I really didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable!" ”
Nie Xinyuan said with rare modesty: "Where is my erudition? I had a hunch that my future daughter-in-law would be interested in the Forbidden City, so I just paid more attention! ”
Wu Ye'er admired Nie Xinyuan's cheekiness even more, and said with a smile: "It's because I have accompanied all kinds of little girls more times and explained more times, so I have become half an expert, right?" ”
"You're too shocking, do you think I'm really so idle, can I have time to accompany my little girl here for a day? You also saw the state of my parents, when I didn't graduate, my dad wanted to arrest me back to manage the company, he could find time to take his daughter-in-law around the world, I was easy! Nie Xinyuan complained pitifully.
Regarding this point, Wu Ye'er nodded in agreement and said: "The relationship between uncle and aunt is really enviable!" ”
"Xiao Ye'er, you grow up quickly, when the time comes, we will also have a child to take care of the Wu family and the Nie family for us, and the two of us will also go out to travel around the world, buy an island when we have had enough, settle down, and watch the sunrise and sunset together every day, and watch the seagulls fly." Nie Xinyuan yearns for this quiet life.
Wu Ye'er sneered and said, "If this word spreads, how many people will have to fall through their glasses!" ”
The two talked and laughed, crossed the Heart Cultivation Hall and came to the Yongshou Palace, Nie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Oh, this is the Yongshou Palace, one of the six palaces in the west of the harem!" ”
"Yongshou Palace, I know, Concubine Xi lives! Zhu Zhu pulled me to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan" N times! Wu Ye'er said with a smile.
Wu Ye'er carefully admired the layout of the house, the glazed floral patterns on the walls and the exquisite carvings on the door panels, and the piles and piles made her breathtaking. There are also treasure halls, clock halls, jade halls and other exhibition halls, which make Wu Yeer admire the exquisite ancient craftsmanship.
Nie Xinyuan accompanied Wu Ye'er while walking around and told her all kinds of legends in the Forbidden City: "In the middle of the night in 1983, there was a person who walked through the wall near the Treasure Hall of the Forbidden City, and suddenly found that there was a group of people with palace lights in the distance. Later, the expert explained that this is also based on science, the palace wall is red, containing ferric tetroxide, and lightning may conduct electrical energy down, if there happens to be a palace maid passing by, then at this time the palace wall is equivalent to the function of a video tape, if there is a lightning coincidence in the future, it may be like a video projection, the shadow of the recorded palace maid will appear. ”
"Is this a mirage?" Wu Ye'er asked.
"It's a little bit of that meaning, it's not the same, the mirage is a virtual image formed by the refraction of light, and this palace wall is a videotape, recording the picture that was accidentally arranged before." Nie Xinyuan explained: "But this is also the explanation given by the experts, I always feel that it is too far-fetched!" ”
"Well, I was originally an atheist, but now a lot of things have happened, so I have to believe in some bizarre or mythical stories, like this story of seeing the palace maid, who knows if it's just a story? The scope of our human cognition is still too narrow! Wu Ye'er said thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes, my little Ye'er is really Bingxue smart!" Nie Xinyuan doesn't forget to pat his ass at any time.
"Nie Xinyuan, there is a shop here, let's go in and have a look!" Wu Ye'er saw a shop selling cultural and creative products in the Forbidden City in front of her, and hurriedly pulled Nie Xinyuan inside.
Wu Yeer herself likes some national style things, and as soon as she entered the store, she was attracted by a dazzling array of jewelry, including hairpins, brooches, earrings and so on. Now most of the jewelry is made of machine molds, always feel less soul, the jewelry here has retro filigree inlay, gorgeous and atmospheric, see Wu Yeer admired.
Nie Xinyuan couldn't take his eyes off these ornaments when he saw Wu Ye'er, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye'er, which ones do you like?" Let's buy some back! ”
Wu Ye'er was not polite, and chose a blue-burning butterfly hairpin and a hairpin of the same style, a filigree inlaid necklace pendant, and a pair of gold-inlaid Hetian jade earrings.
Taking advantage of Nie Xin's time to go to the checkout, Wu Ye'er looked at some small objects of the Forbidden City's cultural and creative works, including fans, mini screens, small vases, rulers, washi tape, keychains, and so on.
What attracts Wu Yeer's attention the most is a set of mini Forbidden City kitten ornaments, a set of about a dozen, which is the size of a thumb, which is particularly cute. Some wear generals' hats, some wear flower feathers, and even small Gege, little emperors, little concubines, etc., each with a different expression, if there is any similarity, it is fat, each one is fat and cute.
Wu Ye'er has long heard of the famous cats in the Forbidden City, and it is said that since the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City has had a group of departments dedicated to managing cats, called the Royal Cat Room. These cats also have a particularly loud name, which is called the Forbidden City Cat. These cats are very stupid, special cute, and not afraid of tourists, but unfortunately they haven't seen them all the way. Now looking at these cartoon cats, I can't put it down, and her own pig concubine Niangniang, she likes kittens the most, if you don't bring these kittens back, I'm afraid that the pig concubine Niangniang will reward herself with a "red zhang" in anger!
Wu Ye'er, who has a strong desire to survive, is not ambiguous at all, and has taken one of all the kitten ornaments, not only these mini kitten ornaments, but also the mobile phone holder of the Baoxi cat, the dragon chair cat sitting on the throne, and the cute and tickling cat, all kinds of shopping baskets are full.
Nie Xinyuan handed Wu Ye'er the jewelry that had just finished settling the account, and took the shopping basket in Wu Ye'er's hand and continued to check out.
When Nie Xinyuan came back after settling the account, Wu Ye'er asked, "Didn't I choose four?" How did you buy so much? ”
"It's rare that my little Ye'er likes it, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't move, I would like to buy everything for you!" Nie Xinyuan said with a smile.
Wu Ye'er stuffed the bag with jewelry in her hand into Nie Xinyuan's hand, and said unreasonably: "Whoever bought it will mention it!" ”
Nie Xinyuan rubbed Wu Ye'er's little head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Nine Dragon Wall." ”
Wu Ye'er had naturally heard of the name of the Nine Dragon Wall, and had also seen the pictures of the Nine Dragon Wall, but when she really stood in front of the Nine Dragon Wall, she was still shocked, this glass shadow wall was almost thirty meters long, and the nine dragons on it were of different colors and shapes. The yellow dragon is in the center, the front paws are encircled, the hind paws are divided into the sea, the dragon body is curved, and the flame orb is held under the head, and the jaw is open, and the majesty is awe-inspiring. There are two blue and white dragons on the left and right sides, and the two dragons on the left side are facing each other; The two dragons on the right side of the road are relaxed, and the four dragons each chase the flame orb, and the spirit moves and moves, as if they want to break through the wall. The outer side of the double dragon, one yellow and one purple, the left end of the yellow dragon with a straight chest and neck, the upper claws are divided and left and right, and the lower limbs protrude forward and stretch back; Zilong's left paw is pressed down, his right paw is raised, and the dragon's tail is flung forward. The two dragons are full of movement, and the momentum of competition is vivid. At the right end, the yellow dragon bow body crossbow back, relaxed and moderate, the posture of moving and jumping is vividly depicted; The purple dragon holds its head high and its front paws hit the waves, and its posture is vigorous, which fully shows the wisdom and artistic talent of the ancient Chinese working people.
"Xiao Ye'er, there is also a legend about this Nine Dragon Wall, do you want to listen to it?" Nie Xinyuan asked.
Wu Ye'er glanced at him, didn't he ask knowingly: "What nonsense, tell me quickly!" ”
"That's it?" Nie Xinyuan asked coldly.
Wu Ye'er quietly pinched Nie Xinyuan's coercion, and ordered: "Hurry up!" ”
Nie Xinyuan gasped again, and said with a look of grievance: "Domestic violence is unacceptable, and you say that you are not tough!" ”
"If you don't hurry up, I'll just ......" Wu Ye'er smiled, and was about to start again, so frightened that Nie Xinyuan begged for mercy again and again, and he couldn't pretend to take it anymore, and obediently told Wu Ye'er the story.
At that time, Emperor Qianlong ordered to build the Nine Dragon Wall, which was not an ordinary project, and it was difficult to pay attention to it. You have to find people who are highly skilled. The Minister of Industry was selected and chosen, and finally a craftsman named Ma Dechun was selected. This Ma Dechun has been firing glazed tiles for more than ten years, and his technology is superb. He selected dozens of craftsmen and started work on the third day. Before going to work, he told the craftsmen about the requirements for firing colored glazed tiles.
He said: "The firing of colored glazed tiles on the proportion of materials and the grasp of the heat, very particular, if you do not grasp the proportion, firing a finished glazed product, there must be more than a dozen pieces of waste as a price." Everyone should be more careful and don't make mistakes. After saying that, he led everyone to do it. They spent a lot of effort and burned it for 7749 days, and finally it was fired.
