The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Among the many urgent matters, there was no rush to rectify the Forbidden City.It’s just that Jia Cong always has the Forbidden City Museum in his heart.After all, that place is a symbol of imperial power.Without breaking this symbol, there is no way to lose the royal majesty.So he discussed with Zhan Kun Roman and the others.The two immediately shouted: "It's too cheap!" Jia Cong was taken aback.

Zhan Kun sighed, "Do you really know how important the Forbidden City is to ordinary people?"

Roman said: "The 500 two-day guard guarantees that no one will dare to come. I'm afraid it's a liar or a trap."

Zhan Kun said: "Five thousand is about the same."

Roman said: "[-] people will go."

Jia Cong hurriedly made a stop gesture: "Don't! It's boring if it's too expensive. My goal is to make the Forbidden City a commoner place, like the Dajiala Museum."

Zhan Kun shook his head: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The folk customs in the capital cannot be changed overnight. If they are not kept clean, they will make people who are not afraid of the retribution of the underworld lawless."

Roman said: "Build another museum first, and the palace will use it to earn some money."

Zhan Kun said: "The money earned from visiting the palace happened to be used to build a new museum."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "You two sang together. Alright, alright... First, we need to count and see how many things are left in there."

"That's all."

It was best to ask Comrade Pan Xigui to do the inventory in the Forbidden City, but he went to Jiangxi again.In recent years, Liu Xianglian has gotten a little fatter, so she wants to throw it to him.Liu Xianglian thought it was troublesome and was too lazy to move, so she shied away for a long time.But Qin Keqing said: "If you don't do it, I will do it." Liu Xianglian thought that she had never been in the palace, so she went to have a look.

The couple led the people in and walked around for a while before they realized that the palace was really too big and there were too many objects.The grandeur and magnificence of the big place and the radiance of gold and silver in the small place are completely different from the Ningguo Mansion in the early years. Even the bricks, tiles, beams and pillars are rare in the world.The two were amazed all the way.Naturally, Liu Xianglian couldn't hide anymore, so she had to quickly call Qin Zhong and Xue Baoqin to help.Four people divided into four groups.In the entire Forbidden City, except for the courtyard where the empress dowager and the sage lived, the locks were changed everywhere.Then each led a team to record the objects in the palace in detail.

On the sixth day of the official count, Dai Quan heard that the account inspector had arrived at Daming Palace, so he went to have a look.I saw that there were men and women who came, and the leader was a beautiful woman.They fiddled and fiddled with a strange box outside the palace for a long time, and then covered it with a big red cloth.Suddenly there was a flash of fire, and there was another "bang", which startled Dai Quan.Then look at those few people who seem to be okay, turning the box to move to another place.After a while, there was another burst of fire and a sound.Dai Quan couldn't help but stepped forward to hit Qian'er: "My lords, what kind of pet is this?"

The leader was Qin Keqing, who smiled and said, "This is a camera. Father-in-law, would you like to take a photo too?"

Dai Quan was stunned: "What camera?"

Qin Keqing ordered someone to take some photos and hand them to him: "Look, these are the photos."

Dai Quan lowered his head and saw the top one. He was shocked and shouted: "There is such a real painting! This is Tian. Anmen, isn't it?"

"That's right. This is a photo. It's much easier to take pictures of the scenery than to draw pictures."

Dai Quan looked at it for a long time, then flipped through the next one with trembling hands: "These are the two big stone lions at the gate of King Yan's Mansion."

"Correct."

"This is the Tianqi Temple outside the West City Gate."

"Ah, you always recognize Tianqi Temple?" Isn't the eunuch not allowed to leave the palace gate?

Looking at the picture at the back again, Dai Quan stared wide-eyed——the picture turned out to be a temple in Yipo Meilin!Although it is not plum blossom season.The old eunuch's viscera were trembling, he took a deep breath very slowly, pointed at the painting and asked, "Where is it?"

"It's called a temple here," Qin Keqing said, "it's the place where Taizu's substitute monk became a monk and practiced. There are many stories in this temple. The dude prince, but under the pseudonym Tian Qi, became an official bandit in the green forest, and later became a monk in this temple, with the name of a monk."

A young man came out from behind her with a smile and said: "His background is also interesting. Because his mother and concubine had an affair with a founding official of this dynasty. Although he was a prince, he was born with a serious crime, so he lost the competition for the prince early. And his mother and concubine are actually sisters with the late emperor’s mother and concubine! Also, I finally found out that the affair was also framed by someone, and Situ Chou’s mother and concubine were innocent. These stories can be found in a temple Heard, the tour guide has been trained."

Another middle-aged woman came out and said with a smile: "This temple has other wonderful features, which are really wonderful. Father-in-law will also visit it when he has time."

Qin Keqing said: "Tickets are not expensive, only two hundred dollars will do."

Dai Quan's eyes widened in shock: "Tickets?!"

Qin Keqing said: "It costs a lot of money to hire a tour guide, clean the courtyard, and take care of the daily care. It's a loss to charge two hundred yuan for the ticket."

Just then the young man said: "The Taoist temples in other places don't charge money."

A man in the back said: "But don't you want to donate incense money elsewhere? This "a temple" is just a tourist attraction. If you don't charge incense money, you have to charge tickets. Besides, aren't there new roads for people to walk on? Road construction also costs money. According to me, a ticket of [-] yuan is too little.”

Qin Keqing said: "All right, all right, the regent has his own considerations, why are you so anxious." Nai smiled and asked Dai Quan, "My father-in-law, do you want to take a picture?" She pointed to a monk in a photo of a temple , "Here, it's like this. The descendants after thousands of years will also be able to see what the father-in-law in the palace looks like." Dai Quan had mixed feelings in his stomach and didn't know what it was like.Qin Keqing said softly, "It's fine if you don't take photos, it's all right, don't be afraid, father-in-law."

The young man said with a smile: "Leader, I'll take a few photos for others to see, so they won't be afraid."

Qin Keqing glanced at him: "Forget it, don't you just want to shoot first?" The young man laughed.Qin Keqing ordered, "Since he's in a hurry, let's shoot him first."

Someone complained in the back: "It's just that the team leader has a eccentric eye, and he is used to pushing an inch. He was the first to shoot before, and he is the first to shoot today."

Qin Keqing raised his eyes and looked around, and said in his mouth: "It doesn't matter if you shoot first, and then there are many others. He took the first shot, so you can see if the angle is good? Some people are rushing to be a test product. What's not welcome?"

The young man smiled and said: "This is the Daming Palace, where the emperor works. I rushed to take a photo first, even if the photo is ugly. At worst, I will come back to take a good photo in a few days. Will the team leader not allow me to take pictures? "

Qin Keqing said: "It's rare for the emperor to work, it's rare for the emperor to sleep, it's rare for the emperor to eat, is it even rare for the emperor to pay respects?" Everyone laughed in unison.Qin Keqing went on to say, "As the saying goes, what is rare is the most expensive thing. In the early days, ordinary people could not enter this palace, so it was rare. In the future, this place will become the Palace Museum. As long as you make an appointment in advance, everyone can come in for free. .If you often live in Beijing, you can often come in all year round. Take a flower scene in spring and a snow scene in winter. It’s not rare to see more.”

While talking, the young man had already set his posture at the gate of Daming Palace.The photographer got into the big red cloth to take a look at it for a while, and there was a "bang".A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl hurried forward to push him: "You're done filming, I'll replace you!" She slammed him away and stood at the gate of the palace by herself.

These people took a group photo after taking the individual photos, and Dai Quan just stood by and watched them lively taking pictures.After the filming was over, Qin Keqing sent someone to ask Dai Quan if he wanted to take another one.Dai Quan looked at the painting in his hand, then at the Daming Palace, and took a breath: "It's really interesting, I'll take a picture of it too." Then he also stood at the gate of the palace.

The photographer yelled in the red cloth, "Smile—" Dai Quan lifted the corner of his mouth. "Boom!" The photographer came out and said, "Okay. It's just that the smile is a little stiff, not natural enough. This is the first time for the father-in-law to take pictures, so he is inevitably a little nervous. After taking a few more pictures, he will relax."

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Please leave your name and surname, father-in-law. Where do you live? We will develop the photos later and we will send them to you."

Dai Quan bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Ma'am. The miscellaneous family name is Dai Mingquan, and now he serves the Empress Dowager."

Qin Keqing was slightly startled: "Could it be that eunuch is the eunuch who was in charge of the Daming Palace when the Supreme Emperor was here?" Dai Quan nodded with an indescribable expression on his face.Qin Keqing said happily, "This photo can be stored in the historical archives in the future!"

Dai Quan followed Qin Keqing and the others to watch how they counted the Daming Palace.For a while, Qin Keqing and the others flipped through an object and didn't know what to do with it, so they started arguing.Dai Quan couldn't help but stepped forward: "This is used to support the saint's arms in cold weather." Everyone said "oh" a few times.

Someone pointed to another thing and asked, "Eunuch Dai, what is this?" Dai Quan answered.

Dai Quan followed them all day.When encountering an object that he didn't recognize or was not sure about, the people in the inventory team would ask him for advice; Dai Quan gradually felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.In the evening, Qin Keqing and others were about to leave work, and asked him politely if he might come back tomorrow.Dai Quan wanted to refuse, but his mouth was quicker than his brain, and he had already agreed when he understood.Back at the residence this evening, Dai Quan thought: Now that I have promised, I will just spend another day with them tomorrow.It must be rejected in the future.

When work was over the next day, Qin Keqing invited him to meet again tomorrow, and he quickly agreed.Going back at night, Dai Quan regretted not falling, and decided to reject them tomorrow.

When work was over tomorrow, Dai Quan had already thought up the words of refusal.Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing didn't invite him, but the seventeen-year-old girl smiled and said, "Eunuch Dai, tomorrow I will bring you some shortbread made by my mother!"

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "I haven't made dim sum much in these years. When I'm done with work for a while, I'll show you my skills at the celebration banquet."

"Okay——" "The team leader said what he said and no skipping tickets are allowed—" "After eating the snacks made by the team leader, my heart didn't panic and my legs stopped shaking, and I was able to climb to the roof of Daming Palace in one go—" Everyone chattered Tongue agreed.

After packing up her things, Qin Keqing waved to Dai Quan first: "See you tomorrow, Eunuch Dai!"

The team members shouted, "See you tomorrow, Eunuch Dai—"

Dai Quan originally wanted to say, "Tomorrow, the miscellaneous family will not come." The words turned into "See you tomorrow..." Seeing that the counting team had disappeared, Dai Quan sighed and said to himself: "What happened?" Now that this is the case, the miscellaneous family can't do anything about it. They can't stop coming suddenly, can they? Don't you need to be in a hurry?" Then he walked away happily with his arms behind his back and his face sullen.

After dinner that day, Dai Quan suddenly thought of a temple.I don't know what Jia Cong did to that place.There is a secret passage leading directly to a temple in the palace.Dai Quan looked out the window.At this time, Ziqiu was high and solemn, the west wind was blowing, two or three handfuls of stars were scattered in the sky, and there was a slanting moon hanging lightly.This day is the best, and the road can be seen without lighting the lanterns.He changed into black clothes and came out.

Dai Quan still had the lantern in his hand, but he didn't light it. He walked lightly to the entrance of the tunnel, flipped the switch and walked in.When he got inside, he took out a match from his pocket and lit a lantern, carrying it all the way to a temple.Turn off the lantern at the exit, turn on the mechanism and go out.

The exit is in a very secluded small side hall, there is no sound of people outside, and there is no light of candles.Dai Quan quietly poked his head out to look around for a while, but there was no one there.The night wind is blowing slightly, the leaves of the trees are rustling, and autumn insects are singing from time to time.Then he took the courage to go out according to the road in his memory.This temple is huge.Dai Quan took a few turns and walked past four or five Buddhist temples, but there were no incense candles or monks guarding him, and he never noticed the difference from before.He thought for a while, then turned around and went to the Hall of Pharmacists.Behind the Hall of Pharmacists is the Meilin where a monk lived when he was alive.

From a distance, he saw a big sign outside Merlin.Going closer and taking a look, the sign is made of wood, with a picture and words written on it.It's too dark now, I really can't see what is written in the painting.Dai Quannai looked around and saw that there was no one in the house, so he took out a match and struck a light.Coincidentally, a gust of wind blew by and extinguished the match.Dai Quan hurriedly put the match sticks into his arms, squatted down, with his body turned away from the wind.He took out another candle, struck another match, and lit the candle carefully.Then he held the candle in his right hand, put his left hand close to the flames to block the wind, stood up slowly, and put the candle in front of the big wooden sign.

What was painted on the wooden sign was a map with eight large characters on it: Panoramic Map of the Merlin Labyrinth.There is a red pen marking the route, which leads directly to the plum forest.Follow the Zhubi along the way, and you will see a stick figure of a house.There are a few words next to it: a monk master's house.In the northwest corner of the courtyard, a few strokes of the roof were painted, and beside it was written: Baguayuan.The top of an octagonal pavilion is drawn in the courtyard, marked with the words octagonal pavilion.There is also a folding line protruding from the side of the octagonal pavilion, and beside the line is written: old camphor wood mechanism box.Dai Quan couldn't feel his heart beating like a drum, he took a few deep breaths and couldn't calm down, even his eyes were dazed.

After a while, Dai Quan concentrated on watching.Immediately, it was discovered that there was a room in the west wing of a monk's master's courtyard, and a broken line protruded from it.Beside the line, there is a note: three decrees of the first emperor.Dai Quan's ankle went limp and he fell to the ground; the candle also rolled down the grass, and was extinguished when the wind blew.After a long time, Dai Quan smiled bitterly.Others couldn't guess which three were the imperial edicts of the late emperor, but he guessed them right away.King Yan tried his best to open the box and take out the edicts, but Jia Cong put them clearly in front of the hall for ordinary people to see, and they could enter with only two hundred dollars.The faces of the first emperor and the Supreme Emperor were smashed by him on the wooden signboard, and they were completely shattered.
