Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 218 Ghost Market
Before I was a guest, I had already seen the white-headed man.

At the beginning of the Zhuang Festival, I wrote a post, and my career took a turn for the worse.

In the past few years, the spring grass has stopped, but today the road is poor at dusk.

He stayed with Sun Chu in military affairs and knew Lu Meng in his career.

To defend yourself with a long sword, you will lean against Kongtong.

This poem "Twenty Rhymes of Tou Geshu Kaifu Han" written by Du Gongbu is like a flying dragon flying through the clouds, with scales, hyenas, claws and armor, moving from the center. The Ministry of Industry and Engineering of Du donated the law and praised Geshu so highly. Later, in the battle of Tongguan, Geshu lost his troops and lost territory. Isn’t it true that the Ministry of Industry didn’t know what he was doing?

This poem turned out to be not as good as the poet Guanxiu's "Offering Money to My Father".

The nobles force people to come without freedom, and the dragons and phoenixes are invincible.

A full house of flowers drunk three thousand guests, a sword of frost and cold fourteen states.

The drums and horns lift the sky, the air is cold, and the wind stirs the sea and mountains in autumn.

The southeast will always be a golden pillar. Who would envy the tens of thousands of princes at that time?

The poet monk Guan Xiu paid a visit to King Qian Liu of Wu and Yue to offer a poem. King Qian felt that "one sword frost-cold fourteen states" was not powerful enough, and his ambitions were far beyond the fourteen states of Wu and Yue, so he asked Guan Xiu to change this sentence to " One sword frost-cold forty states." Guan Xiu refused to obey and walked away.

This poem turns out to be not as good as Li Taibai's poem.

The south ship is facing the east wind, and the north ship is coming from the slow wind.

We meet on the river and I ask you, but the wind blows my words before my laughter ends.

When I heard that you were visiting your lover with your concubine, you should be a minister and not care about yourself.

There are three thousand bead-footed guests in the hall, and there are hundreds of dendrobiums in the urn.

Why did the storyteller say so much about Jinling Spring?

It is said that Wang Heng and Xiaocai, the Wang brothers from Taicang Prefecture, have been studying in Nanjing Imperial College for more than half a year. Whether they are Xingshe or Nanjing, they have made several friends and come and go, which is very lively.

On this day, during the Cold Food Festival, the southern prison was resting, and the flowers were blooming on the road. Li Sheng, a classmate from Zhengyi Hall, was afraid of the return of spring, so he invited Wang Heng and Xiaocai to visit Zixia Lake. Xiaocai borrowed a mule cart from Zhuge Xian to go out of the city and see the grass. Orioles are flying, flowers are growing on the miscellaneous trees, willows are pillowing the bridge, and the clear stream is rushing.

There are different teachings.

The leisurely dream is far away, and the southern country is in full bloom. There are orchestral music playing on the boat and across the river, and light dust is flying all over the city. Busy killing the flower watchers!
Li Sheng lived in the dining room of the South Prison. Brother Wang sent him back to the South Prison at midnight. Because he was thirsty due to spring sleep, Li Sheng suggested eating some vegetarian food at the restaurant outside the archway and taking a rest.

Wang Heng and Xiaocai had often sat still and studied hard for the past six months. After swimming in the lake for most of the day, their scalps were already heavy and their toes were numb from exhaustion. This was exactly what they wanted to hear.

The three of them walked into a two-room bamboo building. Outside the bamboo building was a restaurant called Jinlingchun. This bamboo building is a small restaurant that specializes in serving students from the Southern Prison. Since it is not a meal, the shop is very clean.

Wang Heng ordered eel noodles, Xiaocai ordered dandan noodles, and Li Sheng, a native of Jiangning, ordered duck blood soup noodles. The owner of this Jinlingchun shop is from Sichuan and also makes some hometown-style dishes. Ever since Xiaocai tasted Pixian Doubanjiang, he suddenly opened his eyes to the world of Ren and Du. From a picky and arrogant Jiangnan person, he has become humble. He deeply feels that there is a better world. He must order Mapo tofu and brown sugar glutinous rice cake every time, no matter what. Never get tired of it.

Just as the three of them sat down, there was a sudden bustle. A group of people walked into the store. The leader was a tall young man wearing light blue and flowered arrow sleeves. The robes and the people behind them could be seen as companions of these two people.

"Mountain people, what a coincidence." The tall young man said with a cupped hand.

Li Shanmin's name is Li Sheng. Li Shanmin raised his head and saw that it was Li Xun, a classmate of Zhengyi Hall. He was an official student of Li Chao. Li Shanmin's living room in the Imperial Academy was only separated from the living room of overseas students by a wall. They had close contact with each other on weekdays, so he waved and said: "Jin." Yang Jun, sit down together.”

Jinyang Lord Li Wei walked over with a smile, saw Wang Heng was there, and said with a smile: "Seventh Young Master Wang." He didn't recognize Xiaocai, but he was well-versed in the world, and he paid attention to Xiaocai.

Although Wang Heng was not very familiar with him, he smiled and said, "Jin Yangjun."

Seeing Jinyang Jun Li Yan go to the table of Lishan people, the dark-skinned and thin man next to him hesitated for a moment and hesitated.

Li Xuan gave the thin man a hand and said, "Brother Ruan, we are all members of the same family, so there is no need to be separated."

When the people of Lishan saw that it was Ruan Youhai, an official student from Jiaozhi, they bowed and said, "Master Ruan, let's come together."

Ruan Youhai's Mandarin is not as good as Li Xian's. With a thick accent, he bowed and said: "Nao Nao Nao."

Li Shanmin ordered a bowl of duck blood soup powder for Li Xian and Ruan Youhai respectively and asked them what they wanted.

Jinyangjun Li Xun showed humility at the right time: "A country boy is already blessed if he has rice from the Celestial Empire to eat every day."

Ruan Youhai said it didn't matter, he didn't value good food and drink.

Jinyang Jun Li Yu was born with a good appearance, just like the Zhilan Yushu of the Li Dynasty royal family. Compared with him, Ruan Youhai of Jiaozhi was much inferior and was very inconspicuous among the crowd.

Wang Heng had been classmates with Li Chen and Ruan Youhai for half a year. Because he lived outside, they were strangers to each other. They had hardly spoken to each other, but they listened to the people in Lishan chatting with them.

"I have three days of vacation with nothing to do. I have so much time to spare. Fortunately, Lao Chen took me out for a walk." Li Ye said.

During the three-day holiday during the Cold Food Festival, Li Wei and Ruan Youhai went around admiring the customs and customs of the Celestial Dynasty. Old Chen, the handyman of the South Prison, saw that they were in high spirits and took them to the Chaotian Palace Ghost Market. They bought three toys and a book for two ounces of money. The notebook novel is simply too good.

Chaotian Palace Ghost Market? Xiaocai had heard about it a little bit. He remembered that when he first arrived in Nanjing, Zhuge Xian said that he would take them to go shopping and buy some old books and old objects. Later, they worked hard on their own and rarely went out for wandering. So far, they have not been to Chaotian Palace. .

Seeing Xiaocai's eagerness to give it a try, Li Shanmin raised his eyebrows and said: "We are not as good as their outer vassals. I haven't even seen the Chaotiangong Ghost Market."

Xiaocai said happily: "How about we go there early tomorrow morning and have a look?"

Everyone was young and enthusiastic, so they agreed to meet at Chaotian Palace at the beginning of Yin time tomorrow (three o'clock in the morning). For fear of not being able to find a place, the Wang brothers planned to ask Zhuge Xian to lead the way, while Jinyang Lord Li Xian volunteered to lead the Lishan people. Go there, and in his words: "Go there a few more times to find some worthless trinkets, and you will have all the gifts for returning home in the future."

Everyone finished eating and dispersed, waiting to meet again tomorrow morning.
