018, Qianmen Street
In fact, this result was expected by He Qi, if Qian Xuan was the same as those old stubborns, then it would not be written into modern history, not to mention that in the process of contact with Qian Xuan, the meaning of pushing the vernacular was revealed between the lines.
Qian Xuan spread the crumpled piece of paper on the table, smoothed it, and then gave it back to He Qi, saying: "I have a good friend, named Banxia, who is good at writing Mandarin Duck genre novels, if Brother He sees him, he will have something to say." It's just that it's not a coincidence that Banxia is in Shanghai, otherwise he will be introduced to Brother He. ”
I don't know what Qian Xuan remembered, he laughed out loud, and said a little mysteriously: "But I introduced another friend to Brother He today, he told me a few days ago that a bird has faded out of his mouth recently, and he has been asking me to invite him to dinner, I thought that a pair of chopsticks is also eating, and two pairs of chopsticks are also eating, so I called him, I am afraid that I have arrived at the place at this moment, and I am waiting for the two of us!" ”
"Wait a minute, I'll clean up." He Qi said, but he was guessing in his heart who this person would be?
Isn't that the one who wrestled with the pigs?
"Sir, go ahead, I'll clean up." Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, but she took the first step and cleaned up the paper and pen on the table.
...
In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, it is the time when the autumn is high and cool, comfortable and pleasant, just at this time, there is a slight breeze, how a comfortable, there are two rickshaws parked at the door of Wenhuiju, and there are two coachmen sitting on the sunny steps, leaning back against the wall, with a certain broken felt hat on their faces, napping, listening to someone in the shop come out, a spirit got up, bowed, and shouted hotly: "Master Qian, where are you going?" ”
"Bargain!" Qian Xuan said simply, then lifted his clothes, stepped over the frame, and got into the car.
"Well, sit down." The driver shouted and pulled the car towards Qianmen Street.
He Qi sat in the second car, followed closely behind, and merged into the crowd.
The day before yesterday, he entered the city with the second king of the wonton stall, He Qi came in a hurry, and he couldn't take a good look at the old Beiping City.
He Qi is a southerner, studied in Jinling, went to the capital for the first time in his life, or in 2028, was dispatched by the head office, stayed for a few months, and now thinks back to the capital in his mind, wide roads, bustling traffic, high-rise buildings everywhere, and the subway that can never sit down, and it seems that there is no overlap with the dilapidated and lonely city in front of him.
If we had to find a similarity between the two, it would be that some iconic buildings are still around, or that the names of some streets are still in use, or that there will always be so many people on the streets.
Qianmen Street is still lively, crowded, crowded, noisy, long braids, long shirts, suits and ties scattered at the same time, without a trace of disobedience.
Caravans ringing bells, vendors carrying their loads, horse-drawn carriages, and street vendors soliciting customers.......
All this is like a retro old photo, without any color, but there is flesh and blood, there is temperature, so that He Qi suddenly has a feeling of dislocation of time and space, when he walked to a tall archway with five bays, there were three words written on it, "Zhengyang Bridge", this feeling is the strongest.
He Qi couldn't help but be shocked, because he had been here more than a hundred years later, he had come here in person, the five archways at that time were bright and bright, and visitors took pictures, but now this archway is like an old man in his old age, lonely and lonely, full of vicissitudes, although it is in the most prosperous street in Beiping - Qianmen Street, but it still seems to have no vitality.
When he learned that He Qi had returned from the West not long ago, he became a chatter who was overly enthusiastic, but compared with the taxi drivers of later generations, the gentleman who returned to the West described the magnificent history of the city.
He hadn't read a book, so his words weren't gorgeous, and he didn't even match the simplicity, but He Qi could feel his love for the city, so when he asked expectantly: "Sir, you have seen the world, tell me, which is better, our old Beiping City or the foreigner's city?" ”
He Qi couldn't help but feel worried, for fear of hitting this enthusiastic citizen, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
When the car got off in front of the "cheap shop", he was still looking forward to the answer to this question, He Qi smiled, and had to pick out a more kind reply from the many words he had along the way: "Our old Beiping City has a long history, and foreigners can't compare." ”
"That is, our capital is more than a dozen ancient dynasties, where are the foreigners!" The driver of the cart was proud and proud, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he pulled the car and blended into the crowd with a smoke.
He Qi also stood in the crowd, standing in the old time, thoughtfully, thinking that it was probably because although he was here, his heart was still living in the future generations, if his heart was also here, he would probably be like this ordinary car puller, full of love for this vicissitudes of the old city.
"Brother He, what do you want?" Qian Xuan approached.
"Oh! I haven't seen so many people, and I was stunned for a while. He Qi came back to his senses and said perfunctorily.
"This is where to where, not too many people, and so on to the evening, it is called a squeeze, if it is a New Year's holiday, this street will be crowded without moving legs, the crowd is not too much." Qian Xuan's eyes swept around this street, and finally landed on the plaque with three big characters of "Cheap Fang", pointing and saying: "Brother He used to live abroad, and he is used to eating foreigners' food, so I will try our own people's food today, this is a famous time-honored brand, and it was available during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty." ”
If you look carefully at the plaque of "Cheap Fang", you can notice that there are two small words "Jinling" in the middle and above, Qian Xuan said again: "Brother He, did you see the word Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang set the capital of Jinling, and Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping, and this cheap shop also came." ”
However, He Qi smiled and said: "Brother Qian, don't bully me for not reading much, it is clear that Yingzong Zhu Qizhen finally confirmed the capital of Beiping." ”
Qian Xuan was a little surprised, and immediately retorted: "Having said that, the status of Beiping as the de facto capital has been formed during the Zhu Di period, and the subsequent Hongxi and Xuande have not changed, but Yingzong has only stamped a seal at the end." ”
He Qi smiled again: "Brother Qian, before Hong Xi died, he told Emperor Xuande to return the capital to Jinling, but Emperor Xuande did not do it, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Yingzong's Record" all determined the merits of Yingzong's capital Beiping!" ”
Qian Xuan was even more surprised, and wondered: "Brother He has also read "Ming Shilu"? ”
"Calling the Son of Heaven", if you talk about popularity, you are not inferior to those great emperors who have made great achievements, and they are the "Second Emperor Huiqin" who was poked by netizens with 10,000 backbones, I am afraid that it is not slightly inferior, He Qi naturally knows.
However, He Qi did not answer directly, but pursed his lips and said meaningfully: "I eat foreigners' food, and my heart is Chinese!" ”
Qian Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this was in reply to what he said before, "I'm used to eating foreigners' food", pointed at He Qi and laughed: "Okay, you Brother He, you are also an unforgiving person, waiting for me here!" ”
