Ming Diary

Chapter 22: Jinyiwei!

Just waiting for such a naughty boy to be led away by the adults with a mud and satisfied hand, and Cao Muwen came to the stall. The vendor raised his head with a smile when he saw another guest. I've been counting money before. It seems that the business is very good, and I can't help but be happy. Seeing that Cao Muwen was an adult, he only bought it for his younger generation. Cao Muwen glanced at the clay figurines on the shelf again, but there were few. It seems that a lot has been bought. There was a slight look of disappointment. Hey, guest officer, guest officer, there's more." The businessman is really a businessman. He is really a good person. After seeing Cao Muwen's face at a glance, he noticed it. I immediately pulled out a large box from under the stall. It turned out that I was afraid that the temple was crowded and damaged the bottom of these boxes.

"Come and have a look. All the good ones are here." The vendor with a moustache said proudly. Cao Muwen took a look and only felt that these were much better than the actual quality on the shelves, and they were divided into boxes and boxes, which were actually sold in sets! There are several clay figurines in several boxes. The colors are rich and well-proportioned, and the lines are delicate and bright. Even if you look at the fetus, you can also use good mud, and each of them is vividly shaped. It is actually a literary body, martial body, myth, and clay sculpture.

"How about it? It's a good product at a glance." As soon as the little brother saw that Cao Muwen had the intention to go, he opened his mouth and blew endlessly. We clay figurines are a serious masterpiece of Chaozhou Dawu clay sculpture in Beijing. Take a look." With that, he took out a box and came to Cao Muwen for the first time. Cao Muwen felt that he liked it at a glance. Is this - Liu Guanzhang?

Cao Muwen suddenly became interested when he saw it. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been written since the early Ming Dynasty, and it is based on various stories circulating in the folk market. Therefore, before the emergence of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the stories of the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Guanzhang were widely spread. At this time, the clay sculpture with images was also vivid. Cao Muwen felt a little incredible at first glance, and when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt reasonable. This set of clay sculptures is not only Liu Guan and Zhang, but also "five tigers *" plus Liu Bei and Kong Ming, a set of seven people. I was so happy that I planned to kill the price fiercely and had to buy it. Fortunately, the "salary" was paid a year ago because I received a little more during the Spring Festival, because I haven't spent much money because of the big package given by Brother Wei. It's not shy in the bag. He raised his mouth and asked, "Well, how much is it?"

Walking in this bustling and brightly lit market, Cao Muwen has a feeling of physical pain and is holding the exquisite box of "national handicrafts" in his hand. He wandered around again and watched the fireworks rise in the sky from time to time, and the sky was dyed red, which was very beautiful. From time to time, there were also the sound of rumbling fireworks, as well as the small fires from time to time in the surrounding alleys, and the crackling sound of firecrackers.

Walking on this road, Cao Muwen also felt a little hungry. There were many free food stalls in the temple city, and there were endless patterns. He only saw why he only had a mouth. I don't know what to eat. I walked around to a more open place. This is the light market. Many lanterns and lanterns are hung on shelves and knots. Many tourists stop to watch from time to time, looking at the lantern riddles.

It is traditional to make lanterns, appreciate lanterns, and guess lantern riddles on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On both sides of the street, there is a wooden frame, which is connected by various knots and hanging lanterns of different shapes. It is written with a piece of paper with a lantern riddle, and the answer is written in the lantern below. Cao Muwen set up a wooden shelf before selling a large antique store selling "Shangyi, Zhouding, Qin Jinghan, Jinshu and Tang Paintings", and many lanterns were hung around. A group of people were gathering below to guess the lantern riddles. It seems that this store is set up, which can also add popularity to itself, but it kills two birds with one stone.

Cao Muwen still plans to fill his stomach before joining in the fun. Walk to a dumpling stall on the roadside and make a stool in front of it. When the second son saw a business, he went on a busy place. Cao Muwen asked for a bowl of black sesame dumplings and warmed his hands. Alas! When it gets cold, my hands get cold. I didn't expect it to be like this when I got here. Looking at the lanterns and tourists gathered together to guess the lantern riddles from afar.

Carefully observe some people. Unexpectedly, there are unexpected discoveries. Cao Muwen looked straight at one person. I saw that the man was tall, with broad shoulders and thick muscles. What is striking is that the man has brown and red hair. The dress is also different from helping others, and there are two people around him who dress in the same way as him. They are also bearded, and their eyes are also green. The title of "Sexy Man" is with this. These people should be "blue-eyed Hu merchants, drifters". In the Ming Dynasty, foreigners were mainly divided into two types. One was Arab merchants who came by land from the "Silk Road" in the desert; the other was European foreigners who took the sea. Beijing is located in the north, so although there are many Hu merchants, they are all the first kind of people. And there will be some "foreigners" from the south from the sea. These Hu merchants have been in the Central Plains for a long time, and have also learned some Han customs and culture. They have also come to the City God Temple to make transactions and participate in some temple sacrifices and so on. If you can't understand the lantern riddle, it's also good to join in the fun.

Seeing the foreigners, Cao Muwen was picking up a spoon and sending a sweet dumpling to his mouth. Suddenly I realized something was wrong.

I don't know why I felt someone looking at me after sitting down. There is a little strange in my heart. He turned his head and looked behind him, but there were a lot of people here and it was very noisy, and it was difficult to see who it was. Because there are countless people around who don't believe and talk to each other.

Cao Muwen swallowed the last sweet dumpling and got up and walked to the lamp stand. When I got to the bottom, many people came together and were guessing the lantern riddle. Cao Muwen was also sure to look for this elegance and looked up.

"The painting is round, the writing time is square, the winter is short, and the summer is long; there is a fish in the East China Sea, with no head and no tail. If you remove the spine, it is the bottom of the mystery."

It turns out that this is a double fan. Cao Muwen said in his heart, "I guess this should be a mystery of guessing words." I have no idea when I think about it. Anyway, I just joined in the fun.

At this time, I only heard someone around me saying, "Is it possible that this 'painting is round, writing time' is a Tian character?" After saying that, he turned his head and thought, "'There is a fish in the East China Sea, with no head and no tail'. This is definitely not the word 'fish'."

"Hey, isn't that nonsense? Since 'no head and no tail' is naturally not a fish. Cao Muwen thought in his heart. This guy is such an idiot.

Then he smiled and made a sound of "hehe" twice. People around looked at someone laughing, just as if they were confident and had guessed the answer. They looked back at Cao Muwen one after another. Especially the one just now. It seems that he also wants to hear what "high opinions" he has.

"Ah, it's broken, and I'm happy again." Cao Muwen was very embarrassed when he saw this. Well, these people don't want to see my jokes, do they? Because Cao Muwen happened to see a malicious smile in the man's eyes at this time.

"Hmm!" Cao Muwen snorted in his heart and was a little angry, "I~~Da~~." Cao Muwen's mouth is going to be dirty, and the word "you" hasn't been exported yet. These people look surprised.

Hey? Cao Muwen is also strange. I saw the brother laugh out. He said, "We already knew the answer, do we want to see what others can guess? Just a few people came to see, and we pretended not to get together. After saying that, he looked at Cao Muwen with admiration and said with serious face, "You are the second one tonight." After saying that, he arched his hand and made a series.

Ah! Cao Muwen was stunned. This is too much of a spoof." I thought that a word of swearing could be the answer. However, in the end, he is still confused. What is the answer?

At this time, the person opposite was happy, "Hey, this is just out before you." Then he pointed his finger behind Cao Muwen.

"Ah ha, do you want to talk about this riddle?" Then there was a voice behind him. Cao Muwen was shocked when he heard it. He seemed to have heard the sound somewhere. He felt curious and looked back.

I only saw that Wu Zhengzheng said righteously, "This is half of the name of my Ming Dynasty - tomorrow's 'Sun'."

Although there are many people now, everyone is on the street outside, so there are only three or two people in this pub, and the only table full of four is Cao Muwen and Wu Zheng.

Cao Muwen sat in the innermost part. Of course, this was not what he wanted, but was gently pressed to this position. He is still calm and thinking about the current situation quickly, "What's going on? Who are these two strong men? "Quick catch in the government?" I denied this idea again, and I didn't do anything to commit adultery. It's even more ridiculous that they know that they are not the people of this time and space.

"Oh, cough. Look at this." At this time, Wu Zheng, who was sitting opposite Cao Muwen, coughed and spoke. After saying that, he took out the hand that had been in his arms and took out a sign.

Jinyiwei.

Huh~~? What is this, this~~~~, ah!! Suddenly, a thunderstorm passed by, and Cao Muwen seemed to be petrified. This, this." Damn~~ spoof me, why did the brocade guard suddenly come out to look for me! Wu Zheng, what's wrong with that old man!" Cao Muwen didn't seem to have recovered and didn't want to admit the current situation. This kind of goods can also be received in Jinyiwei, 'temporary workers'!" He is a little crazy. Of course, this is all reflected in my heart, and there is no change in the expression. It is still clear that he calmly stares down at the sign - engraved with three big words "Jinyiwei" that can kill people at any time.

Wu Zheng saw that Cao Muwen had been bowing his head and did not show any 'due' emotion. I'm more curious about this strange young man.
