Thousands of years

"This is not very good!"

It is rare for the family to get together, and He Zhenhua is not euphemistic at all when he praises his granddaughter and son-in-law.

The old man next door was also at the banquet, and the family of five brought the old man who lived alone and had lunch lively.

"Dad, why don't you follow us tonight's night tour? I remember Mom always wanted to buy a kitten and puppy to keep at home. Today's Deoksugung Night Tour has a stall selling pets."

Deoksugung Palace is restored to its original appearance at the old site. Except for the display part of the site, the completely new building does not need to worry about the impact of tourists on the historical and cultural relics. This is why the night tour is held.

"That thing sheds hair at home, so I can't take care of it! When the time comes, I will feed it to death and feel sad. It will feed me to death, and no one will take care of it." He Zhenhua kept waving his hands, refusing to listen to anything he said.

"I'll just go and see your performance, Yeyou, you can accompany An Ji around, I don't have so much energy to join in the fun now!"

As a large-scale stage show with great influence in society recently, the crew of "Shuangzhaojing" was invited to Deoksugung Palace Night Tour for a weekly immersive performance - "Song Yun Deokshou".

Now that the prelude to the night tour has just kicked off, "Song Yun De Shou" has a three-day performance schedule, and He Zhenhua also saw the introduction in the news report: "You let An Ji go shopping with her best friend Sheng Xia. Gotta keep an eye on people."

The plates and bowls were empty, An Jianing and He Yanqing were responsible for clearing the table, and began to drink tea and chat.

"Dad, we've been so busy these days that we didn't bother to come and see you and Mom."

In the past year, although everything has been on the right track, there are few opportunities for the family of three to get together to have a solid meal, let alone visit He's father and He's mother.

"What do we have?" Mother He put the teacup on the table and said seriously, "The life of you and An Ji is the most important thing, we can live by ourselves."

"That's right, the three of us drink tea and chat every day, and we don't need you to come."

It seems that mom and dad have always had a good relationship with the uncle next door, so He Yanqing felt relieved.

When the phone rang, An Ji saw that it was Midsummer, and quickly picked it up: "What's wrong?"

"Ah? You can't find that dress? I'll go, I'll go, wait a minute, I'll take a taxi directly."

Saying goodbye to grandparents in a hurry, An Ji didn't even have time to tell where he was going, so he took the elevator downstairs and ran to the side of the road.

"This child..." After finally meeting his grandpa and grandma, An Ji was still so busy. He Yanqing knew that although his parents didn't talk about it, he was still depressed, so he explained, "The lights and clothes at Deoksugung Palace at night are all It's her and Sheng Xia who are in charge, so it's probably time to go to work on that."

"The child is busy, and he is doing well in his career." The child who watched him grow up when he was a child is now promising, and the grandmother is extremely gratified.Even if we don't see each other for a year or so, as long as An Ji is healthy and happy, a grandma can rest assured.

The last time she met her granddaughter was at An Ji and Ning Yunfan's wedding. Grandma naturally missed her granddaughter.

It's just that she didn't dare to bring tears to her eyes, for fear that her daughter and son-in-law would also be sad.

"Yes, our girl's career has been getting better and better in the past two years, and her dream has come true. That child Ning Yunfan is also good to her."

"They're both married. It's good for the two of them to develop their own careers. Neither of them regards marriage as a bondage."

After three rounds of tea, it will be tasteless, and after five sentences, it will be emotional.The success of chasing dreams, the development of career, and the fact that we get together less and more with family members will inevitably make people feel a little embarrassed.

So the five people on the table drank the already weak tea, and no one was in the mood to make another cup.

The phone rang again, and the remaining four people on the table all stared at the source of the sound at the same time - An Jianing took out the phone from his pocket at this time, only glanced at it before getting up and leaving.

"Just tell you, since you have something to do over there, you don't need to come with me today." During the dinner, one person after another left, how lonely would it be in the eyes of the old man?He Yanqing couldn't help feeling a little angry, and vented his dissatisfaction with words.

"Mom and Dad are sitting here, what do you call when you leave one by one? An Ji really follows you, you don't have to come with me as you said, we will see you at night."

It is rare for the elderly to see a family reunion, and it is often from the time the promise is received, until the children go home.

This one has a job, that one has an important matter, and the sensitive heart of the elderly will feel that he is old and useless. Even letting the children get together seems to be delaying the children. How can they not be sad?
"My fault, my fault, let An Ji come and stay with grandma for a few days after I've been busy for a few days." An Jianing knew that He Yanqing was also angry, and he didn't find fault with himself, so he kept admitting his mistake, "I I am in a hurry here, Lao Ning should be looking for me because of "Shuangzhaojing", it has already been arranged, and I don't know what happened suddenly."

Xilan's pink color carried a little sadness of the setting sun, He's father, He's mother, and the old man next door, accompanied by He Yanqing, went downstairs and walked along the sidewalk.

"Dad, let's take a taxi, it's just right for four people."

The father was still flushed and full of energy at his daughter's wedding a few months ago.But it turns out that looking up at his father who is more than a head taller than him doesn't have to be as strenuous as before - his father is old.

"No, I can't go very far, just go, go!"

"Dad, I'm retiring soon, so I will spend more time with you and Mom in the future." Turning his head and looking at the old man next door, He Yanqing felt a mess in his heart, "Uncle, just treat me as your half." My daughter, after I retire, I will accompany you around to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."

"I don't need to worry about An Ji anymore. Now she has fulfilled her dream and her career is good..."

"Don't think so much." He Zhenhua couldn't understand what his daughter was thinking, and straightened his back, "The three of us are not old, you should be developing your career and contributing to the country and society, don't worry about us! "

Yes, what He Yanqing was thinking about was whether his family of three put too much in their dreams and careers, but neglected to accompany their families.A father knows his daughter well...

The street lights suppressed the starlight in the sky, and the Deoksugung Palace, which was full of lanterns, radiated light from the inside of the wall, just like a big lantern, reminding people in the right direction ahead.

"Look, isn't that not far away, let's go!" The light encouraged He Zhenhua who was already a little tired from walking, but He Zhenhua still tried to be stubborn.

"Um……"

He Yanqing could see that his father's steps were shaking a little, but it was rare that he didn't directly point out the truth.

A group of four did not do anything special, they should buy tickets and queue up.Instead, the three elderly people entered along the special passage prepared by the management to love and respect the elderly, so as not to stand for a long time.

The intricately patterned lanterns seemed to have come out of a picture album. He Yanqing felt proud from the bottom of his heart when he thought that his daughter participated in the design.

After walking a few steps, He Zhenhua supported his hips, and walked more and more slowly, obviously tired from walking, and his joints were already aching from friction.

"Dad, sit down for a while, the show will take some time to start, and I'm tired after walking so far."

"Okay, don't worry about me." Facing the topic of getting older, He Zhenhua was very calm, and didn't sigh as he imagined, "I'm old, and now I can't even see the details."

"It's the same with walking. It's okay to walk a few kilometers before... Now when I go downstairs, my legs are going to hurt."

The topic of aging is too bitter, and He Yanqing doesn't know how to respond.Think about yourself at the age of your father, can you face it so optimistically?He Yanqing felt that he couldn't do it.

"Everyone gets old, but there are always young people who do these things."

"I was also a young man when I was in the Hangluo factory. Now my granddaughter is here to build the country. I am old, and I am satisfied to see how the young people do it."

"Let's go and have a look over there." He Zhenhua rested for a while, stood up, and headed towards the market, "An Ji is not here, don't make trouble for her, otherwise she will still worry about taking care of me, She has to introduce these cultures to tourists!"

"Meow... Meow!" There were more and more people around, and the kitten in the cage was frightened and screamed, and the sound also floated into He Yanqing's group of four along with the curtain blown by the wind. in the ears.

"Dad, let's go and see?" The uncle next door is always cheerful, he can go anywhere, and his mother doesn't care about it, so He Yanqing always asks his father every question.

"Go and see how young people play with cats."

To He Zhenhua's surprise, the young man didn't tease the cat, but instead sat around the table and wrote something about cats.

"Well, this is a custom in the Song Dynasty. If you are interested, you can read the brochure next to it." The stall owner greeted the visitors enthusiastically. The clothes in Luo Yi were exactly the design of An Ji and Sheng Xia, and the autumn was in focus. Strong, osmanthus blows fragrance.

"It's quite interesting."

Hearing his father's murmur, He Yanqing said without any hesitation: "Dad, you and Mom should raise a cat. If you don't want to raise me and An Jia, let's raise it."

"Forget it, you still have your business..."

Costume experience, drama performance, garden night market, Deoksugung Palace is full of people coming and going, most of them are young people, clustered together, it seems to have endless vitality.

"This is Song Brocade and Pan Jinxiu. Would you like to try it on? We can try on a set for free with tickets, but we need to pay a deposit. If it breaks, it will be deducted from the deposit."

Hang Luo, Song Brocade, Hand Embroidery and Hand Embroidery, from the material itself to the clothing making skills, are all very particular, and are indeed of great value.Being able to take it out for tourists to try on is indeed the organizer's greatest contribution in order to provide a better cultural experience.

"You can choose again, but "Song Yun Deshou" will start within half an hour. After all, it is not convenient for the elderly to walk. It is better for you to set aside a quarter of an hour."

Xu Shi saw that He Yanqing brought three old people, it must be inconvenient, the girl in charge of the clothing experience explained enthusiastically: "Of course our ticket can be used for two days, only the clothing experience and the performance of "Song Yun Deshou" It's one time only."

"Hey, I think the one on you seems to be Hang Luo's? In fact, you can try some other materials to have a different experience."

"No need, I am so old, I can wear everything the same, I don't want to bother you young people." He Zhenhua is not afraid of annoying others, but he is reluctant to take off the clothes designed by his granddaughter.

"Thank you, thank you, then let's go there first, and come and experience it when we have a chance."

He Yanqing knew what his father thought, and also understood that the latter's obsession with Hang Luo was never solely because of An Ji.

But the little girl in charge didn't know, she might think it was because her family didn't take good care of her.So He Yanqing hastily said a few polite words, and took his parents and the old man next door to the Chonghua Palace where "Song Yun De Shou" was performed.

Unlike "Shuangzhaojing" which is limited to storytelling, "Song Yun Deshou", which was rehearsed in just half a year, pays more attention to bringing sufficient visual impact to the audience.

The sound of the piano between Zhu Zhu, Mowa and Mowa is shallow, and the poet sings and drinks.Climbing a tree and drinking with a crane is a play, which adds a bit of wit to the original elegance, solemnity, majesty and shock.

The drape and nature of silk robes are reflected in every detail in the whole immersive repertoire. The moon is bright in the sky and the lights in the world are bright.

The Song Dynasty may be prosperous, or the folk customs may be open, but such a grand Deoksugung Palace has always belonged to individuals, never belonged to the mechanics who weaved with one shuttle and one thread, and never belonged to the craftsmen who built it brick by brick...

Nowadays, both tourists from afar and local residents of Hangzhou can wear all kinds of clothes, laugh and take pictures.Between the bright lights and green scenery, enjoy this kind of prosperity.

"How beautiful." Midsummer, who sneaked over while there were few people, praised sincerely.

"Yes, it's really beautiful to see these cultures appear in another form across the millennium."

Hearing the familiar male voice, Sheng Xia realized that the person beside him was not An Ji. Looking sideways, it turned out to be the 'well-dressed' Chu Cen who had studied in Hang Luo Factory for more than half a year.

"Yeah..." Looking up at the sky with some embarrassment, Sheng Xia's response was half a beat slow.

"It's running out of time, come and see tomorrow, An Ji and I have been here for the past few days." Ning Yunfan's voice came from not far away, followed by a few meows.

"That's right, grandpa, let's go see it tomorrow. I know what you mean, but my dad won't care about it..."

The show has already started, He Zhenhua would rather go in after watching half the show, no one can persuade him along the way, until An Ji speaks, and then he agrees: "Okay, okay, listen to my granddaughter!"

"Mom, let me hold it. You still have to take care of grandpa, grandma and the old man." The cloth on the bucket was tumbling up and down like the water in the boiling water pot. An Ji looked at the bucket covered with cloth in his mother's hand, and couldn't help but speak.

"It's okay. Your dad called me just now. Don't worry if he has your Uncle Ning on his side. He will be here soon."

"It's you, Sheng Xia is not here, how old are you Aunt Zhang and the others over there, and how busy they are, you and Ning Yunfan go back quickly..."

It was late at night, and the early spring wind brought a little bit of coldness, raising the corner of the long beard, but failed before trying to invade the human skin.

The performance was not over yet, and there were people wandering around in twos and threes.An Ji was fine, sitting on a bamboo chair and looking at the sky.

The galaxy is twinkling, maybe they have witnessed the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, but they are talking to An Ji in the night sky at this time.

At the end of the full text, there may be a special episode in conjunction with "Wood Fragrance, Lacquer, Color and Five Rhymes of China", and I am not sure when it will be updated.
