Thousand Gold Intern

"Then you have to hold my hand and walk together, I will be motivated!" Nie Xinyuan was not polite at all, and took Wu Ye'er's little hand very naturally.

The two talked and laughed and continued to walk forward. This time Nie Xinyuan didn't cry tired, and arrived at the destination in a short time.

When he arrived at the Meridian Gate ticket office, Nie Xinyuan directly took out his mobile phone to scan the code to buy tickets, and then dragged Wu Ye'er to wait in line for the opening time.

Wu Ye'er couldn't help sighing: "It's not time to open the door, so many people have gathered? It's more crowded than Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in peak season!"

"Isn't that right? The Forbidden City usually has a lot of tourists. On weekends and public holidays, it's even more crowded. If you take a random photo, it's a group photo of hundreds of people." Nie Xinyuan teased with a smile.

"Who doesn't want to come to the palace to gain knowledge, just this ticket office, you can see the royal style, not to mention the halls inside!" Wu Ye'er said with some expectation.

"Xiao Ye'er, do you know where this is?" Nie Xinyuan asked.

"Come on at the ticket office, I'm not a fool!" Wu Ye'er had an expression of knowingly asking.

"Do you usually watch palace dramas? In it, the emperor would talk about beheading at the Meridian Gate. This is the Meridian Gate! But, TV dramas are just for fun. The emperor is superstitious. How could he really kill people at the gate of his own palace? The real beheading place is at Caishikou." Nie Xinyuan acted as a tour guide very responsibly.

"Really? Then why is it called Meridian Gate here? It doesn't sound grand at all!" Wu Ye'er asked.

"Haha, let's do a role swap today, I'll be the master, and I'll give you a little science, okay?" Nie Xinyuan said proudly.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and talk!" Wu Ye'er stretched out her claws again, and pinched Nie Xinyuan who was shivering.

"Because in ancient my country, the twelve earthly branches were used to indicate the direction. 'Zi' is the true north, and '午' is the true south. The Meridian Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City. It is located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City. It is called the Meridian Gate. You can also understand it as the south gate. Meaning!" Nie Xinyuan was afraid that Wu Ye'er would do something to him again, so he quickly explained obediently.

"It's ok. I thought Young Master Nie was just a bloke, but I didn't expect that he has some knowledge! He knows more than Zhu Zhu, who has been watching palace operas all day long!" Wu Ye'er praised.

Nie Xinyuan was about to break out in a cold sweat. He looked at Wu Ye'er pitifully and said, "Xiao Ye'er, are you sure you are really praising me, not scolding me?"

"Guess!" It was time to open the palace door, Wu Ye'er said this, and walked forward with a smile.

After the Meridian Gate is the Jinshui Bridge, and after passing the Jinshui Bridge is the Gate of Supreme Harmony. After entering the Gate of Supreme Harmony, there is a huge open space, and then naturally the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Tour guide Nie explained very seriously and responsibly: "In the Forbidden City, there are doors first and then halls. This Hall of Supreme Harmony is commonly known as the Golden Palace in TV dramas. It is the place where the emperor holds important ceremonies."

"Is it the place where the emperor went to court?" Wu Ye'er asked.

"Silly girl, have you watched too many TV shows? It's said that it's a place where important ceremonies are held, such as the emperor's enthronement, the emperor's birthday, and big weddings, New Year's Day, etc., which can't be held several times a year. The emperor The court is usually at the Qianqing Gate, but the Qing Dynasty has a long history, and the places where the emperors of all dynasties went to court are not exactly the same." Nie Xinyuan said.

"Oh! Sure enough, TV dramas are not very reliable. I still remember watching a TV drama when I was very young. There was a line in the theme song, which said: 'The palace of golden tiles and golden thrones, the emperor does not sit in the palace. , one nose and two hands.', I always thought that the emperor was sitting on the golden throne hall! By the way, there is not even a tree in such a big square, it is bare."

Tour guide Nie continued to explain: "Well, there are several theories. One is to guard against assassins. If there is a person who wants to assassinate the emperor hidden in the tall canopy, it will not be easy to find. We simply don't plant trees. Assassins have nowhere to hide. And when it comes to guarding against assassins, have you seen the ground under our feet? Fifteen floors of bricks are laid in all directions, just to prevent assassins from sneaking into the palace."

"Then what's another way of saying it?" Wu Yeer asked as a curious baby.

"Naturally, it is to maintain the dignity of the royal family! Think about it, if there are trees, there will be a lot of birds, right? Whether the emperor holds a major ceremony or goes to court, it is a very serious matter. How decent is it for a bird to drop a pile of bird feces on the head of the emperor or minister by coincidence! Even if there is no such coincidence, the emperor speaks on it, and the bird chirps above his head. Wouldn't it destroy the solemnity of the court? The atmosphere!" Nie Xinyuan said solemnly.

Wu Ye'er didn't expect another reason to be this, and asked with a smile: "Is what you said true or not? You couldn't have made it up, could it?"

"If I had the talent to make up stories, I would write novels. Who is still here bitterly managing the company for my father who only knows how to accompany his wife!" Nie Xinyuan mentioned the pair of fathers who showed affection all day Mom complained a lot.

"Okay, let's trust you!" Wu Ye'er said with a smile.

"There is another theory, which is the theory of the five elements. In ancient China, the emperor belonged to the earth in the five elements, and the wood restrained the earth, right? Of course the emperor would not be free to get a few trees to restrain himself! And I will find a map later. Let me show you, the foundations of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony are the characters for 'earth' facing south, and it is against wood." Nie Xinyuan continued.

"I'll go, that's okay? Well, the ancestors are more particular!" Wu Ye'er really admires the designer of the palace, who can think of such a detailed problem.

"Xiao Ye'er, can I discuss something with you?" Nie Xinyuan said with a flattering smile.

Wu Ye'er didn't like him, and asked, "Let's listen first!"

"Oh, you don't know. I had a hard time when I was a child. I ate dog food like hell. Now that I have a wife, you have to help me get revenge!" Nie Xinyuan said cheerfully.

"You are so beautiful! You should be your tour guide obediently! Maybe I can give you a little tip if I am happy with the teacher!" Wu Ye'er said with a smile.

"I'm so miserable! If I knew you loved to hear this so much, I should have hired a tour guide for you when I walked in." Nie Xinyuan complained.

Wu Ye'er smiled brightly, and said: "It's not too late to invite you back now, it's best to find a handsome guy, who looks good on you!"

"Well, let me explain it to you myself. Those tour guides are all glib. I'm afraid that if I don't finish my tour of the Forbidden City, I will kidnap my wife. Then who should I cry to?" Nie Xinyuan made an exaggerated expression. Wu Ye'er burst out laughing with a look that was about to drip.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the largest palace in the Forbidden City. After laughing, Wu Ye'er still carefully observed this magnificent building.Different from the private houses of the people, this Hall of Supreme Harmony has a roof with five ridges and four slopes, and there are ten different animals on the corners of the eaves.Looking at the inside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are dozens of large pillars with a diameter of about one meter and a thickness of about one meter. Among them, there are six golden-painted Panlong pillars surrounding the throne.In the middle of the main hall is a golden lacquer carved dragon throne, and behind it is a huge carved dragon screen.The decoration of the whole hall is resplendent and majestic, which made Wu Ye'er amazed and kept sighing at the luxury of the palace.

Nie Xinyuan smiled and said: "The luxury of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not only what you see, but also the floor that is most easily overlooked. This floor is called gold bricks, although it is not really made of gold. But the value is almost as high as gold. It is said that this brick needs to be fired for eight months, and what is even more difficult is that it needs to be fired with various firewood for more than 100 days, and then soaked in tung oil for a hundred days. .It also needs to be 'sound of knocking, no holes in breaking' to be adopted by the royal family. This brick is not harsh or slippery, strong and wear-resistant, and the more it is polished, the brighter it is. Unfortunately, this hall has long been closed to people, and we are not blessed. Step on it and feel it."

Wu Ye'er was shocked when she heard that, a small square brick required such a complicated production process, the ancient emperors would really enjoy it, so in comparison, her Wu family mansion is like a thatched cottage in the countryside.

"It's a pity that it's not the rainy season, Ye'er, have you seen the dragon heads under the railings? I'll bring you here again during the rainy season, and let you see the wonder of thousands of dragons spitting water." Nie Xinyuan said.

"Okay!" Wu Ye'er said, and remembered that there was no house in his secret world so far. It is necessary for him to take a good look at these buildings, and get a similarly grand palace when he goes back, and experience it himself Take the emperor's treat.

"Little girl, what are you thinking? Why are you so lost in thought?" Nie Xinyuan asked.

"Hey, I'm thinking, tell me, if I also get such a great hall in my secret world, then I can just step on the gold bricks casually! You can just watch the spectacle of thousands of dragons spitting water!" Wu Ye'er was full of imagination.

Nie Xinyuan didn't know what kind of abilities Wu Ye'er possessed in the secret world, so he smiled and said, "Have you thought too much? Don't say you don't even have these materials. Even if you do, who do you ask for construction?"

Wu Ye'er snickered in her heart, so she didn't tell him. She would try it when she went back at night. If it really worked, she would be able to give him a surprise when she brought him in later!

The two continued to walk forward. In fact, Wu Ye'er was not very interested in these places where the emperor went to court and received courtiers. Instead, she was anxious to see what the harem looked like, whether it was the same as in the TV series, When I go back, I can tell Zhu Zhu about it.

"How long will it take to get to the harem? I want to visit the harem!" Wu Ye'er asked.

"What's the rush? Let's take a walk in one day. Didn't you say that walking is also a form of cultivation? I'll let you walk as much as you want! Haha!" Nie Xinyuan laughed.

Wu Ye'er gave him a blank look, and said: "Okay, then you will walk with me for a month, and you are not allowed to stop and rest, and you are not allowed to eat or drink!"

Nie Xinyuan jumped her feet angrily and complained: "Are you practicing? You are murdering your own husband!"
