"I decided to invite you to participate in the design of the cultural village project with me." Chang Qin spit out this sentence vaguely. After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party was still, he couldn't help asking, "Lawyer Xi, are you asleep?" ?”

He heard Xi Ling sigh obviously, and said, "Are you drinking again?"

Chang Qin paused for a moment, then said with an apologetic smile, "Not much, just a little."

Xi Ling sighed again, and said sharply, "You can't find a substitute driver, tell me the address, and I'll pick you up."

"No, no, no." Chang Qin hastily refused. The image of Xi Ling swinging an ax to kill him was enough to conceive in his mind. It really attracted people. Where would he go to buy insurance in the middle of the night?

"Alright then." Xi Ling said.

Chang Qin heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party was going to hang up the phone, so he just listened to the other end of the phone and continued: "Then I'll call and ask Mr. Jiang."

Chang Qin was defeated, so he had no choice but to give him the address in detail.

Half an hour later, the Passat he had seen in the afternoon appeared before his eyes.

"Driving in a modern car is really unprecedented." Chang Qin patted the roof of the car and got into the passenger seat helplessly.

"I can't get a taxi." Xi Ling glanced at him up and down, "Didn't you promise not to drink?"

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Chang Qin lay down on the armchair, smelling the smell of alcohol on his body, and his stomach regurgitated.

"Drink less wine." Xi Ling turned the steering wheel and said calmly.

Chang Qin glanced at him, but didn't see the slightest concern, so he curled his lips and asked, "Why?"

"Spermicide."

Chang Qin: "..."

"Wait a minute, isn't Coke killing sperm?" Chang Qin said hastily.

"Coke also kills sperm, as for which one is better, you can try them all." Xi Ling replied calmly.

Chang Qin coughed twice: "You..."

Xi Ling helped Chang Qin into the room, put him on the sofa and settled him down, turned around and went to the bathroom, took out a hot towel, stuffed it on his chest, and said disgustedly: "I didn't expect that I would run into this place for three days in a row. This house."

"I didn't expect that I would be carried home by you for three consecutive days." Chang Qin helplessly covered his face with a towel.

"I asked for it." Xi Ling gritted his teeth and spit out a few words.

"Do you still live in that big villa before? It's quite far from here." After wiping his face, Chang Qin casually threw the towel on the coffee table.

"No, the house has already been sold." Xi Ling took the towel and went to the bathroom to wash it off.

Chang Qin hesitated for a while, saw Xi Ling coming out of the bathroom, and asked, "I've wanted to ask you for a long time, did something happen to your family?"

Xi Ling glanced at him, and replied: "Yes. Before Dad passed away, we were bankrupt, and the car and house were all sold."

"Then where do you live now?" Chang Qin asked in surprise.

"The house my sister lives in now belongs to my brother-in-law. Brother Mo is a nice person and doesn't care about money. I have saved some money in the past few years, and I made some money with my sister to pay the down payment and bought a small house." Xi Ling said in a relaxed tone, casually Talk about weather-like.

Chang Qin has known Zeng Mo for many years and knows how he is. The reason why he can endure Xi Fu's violent temper for so long is definitely not because of the other party's money. The one who will never leave you.”

Xi Ling was stunned for a while, and after a while to react, he suddenly showed a rare gentle smile: "Yes."

Chang Qin had a panoramic view of his expression, and couldn't help teasing: "Where's your little boyfriend? Is he still in England? Or, you two are already living together."

Xi Ling glared at him, grabbed the car keys: "I don't have anything to do, I'm leaving first."

"Yo, I'm sorry!" Chang Qin laughed.

Xi Ling made a gesture and stood up.

"Don't, don't!" Chang Qin hurriedly stopped him, "I have something to ask you."

Xi Ling sat down again and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just told you about that. My master said that it is necessary to learn from the barbarians to master their skills to control the barbarians. You see, you understand history, and I am studying ancient architecture. If we cooperate, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"But I don't understand architecture." Xi Ling frowned.

"You don't need to understand, I just need to understand." Chang Qin said without thinking.

Xi Ling thought for a while, but didn't immediately agree, but asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to draw pictures, and you don't need to measure the room. You just need to give me inspiration."

Xi Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "But I don't have time recently, after finishing your company's contract, I have to go out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Chang Qin asked disappointedly.

"not decided."

Chang Qin suddenly thought of something, blinked at Xi Ling and said, "Are you afraid that your little boyfriend will be jealous if you don't go out with me?"

Without further ado, Xi Ling grabbed the car keys and left. Chang Qin yelled at the back of the other party, "Don't cook porridge for me today."

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

After work the next day, Chang Qin went straight to the bookstore and bought a large pile of ancient books such as "Historical Records", "Book of Changes", "Tao De Jing", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Mengxi Bi Tan" and so on. , The more I pondered, the more energetic I became, and soon I fell asleep on the table... I crossed a crumbling single-plank bridge in my dream, and suddenly staggered in the middle of the walk, and woke myself up again.

Chang Qin rubbed his eyes and sat up straight, looking at his phone, it was 10:30.Well, tonight was another waste.He sighed, grabbed his phone and pressed the call button.

"You drank too much again, Director Chang?" Xi Ling blurted out.

Chang Qin was sweating, and hurriedly raised his hand to swear: "I never drank alcohol today." Thinking that the other party could not see at all, he put down his hand and said with a smile, "Lawyer Xi, aren't you the historical consultant hired by Mr. Jiang? If you can't Help me, what are we asking you for?"

Xi Ling pinched his brows and said painfully: "I am a history consultant, but not a design consultant. I am a layman. If your house collapses, who will take the responsibility?"

Chang Qin was happy, and explained: "Just put your mind at ease, I will definitely take this responsibility."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then replied: "Okay then, to do a good job in architecture, of course field inspections are indispensable. Let's go to the nearest one first, the Forbidden City."

"Okay." Chang Qin nodded and agreed, "Just Saturday, see you soon."

The Forbidden City in Beijing, also known as the Forbidden City, was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420). It is the palace of the last two dynasties of Chinese feudal society - Ming and Qing.A total of 24 emperors lived here successively in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It took a long time until Puyi abdicated in the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1911).

"At the beginning of the new dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, used Luoyang as Beijing, Fengyang as the central capital, and Jiankang as Nanjing. Afterwards, general Xu Da conquered the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and changed the capital of the Yuan Dynasty to Beiping." Xi Lingbian As he walked, he said, "After Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he changed his Yuan to Yongle, and changed Beiping to Beijing."

Chang Qin nodded and said, "Yongle issued an edict in four years to build the Beijing Palace, and in five years prepared and planned the project. Roads, rivers, drainage and main foundations were carried out in advance. Yongle officially started construction in 15 years and was completed in 18 years. It took 14 years before and after. year." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xi Ling and laughed shamelessly, "Look, don't we complement each other quite well?"

Ignoring his thick skin, Xi Ling spread his hands and said, "I can only provide you with historical materials, and I am incapable of other things."

Chang Qin hurriedly wanted to say something more, but the people around him were already walking forward, so he could only shut up and catch up.

"There are only three great ages in the feudal history of China: the Western Han Dynasty, the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the Kangxi-Yongqian Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty began with the rule of Wenjing by Emperor Wenwen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and began to decline from Emperor Zhaodi and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Kaiyuan flourishing age is the flourishing age created by the Tang Dynasty. It started from the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty reached its peak, and the Anshi Rebellion went into decline. The prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong was more than 100 years from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The ancients Advocating the way of the king, I believe that the shocking masterpieces must be accompanied by the emperor, so I suggest that you take the three great ages as the theme and focus on the architecture of these three periods."

Chang Qin nodded, noncommittal: "There are many wooden buildings in ancient China, so ancient buildings that survived the wars of the past dynasties are very rare. It is not as good as in other ancient civilization areas. There are a large number of complete urban relics that mark the starting point of civilization, and they are all bricks. Stone structure, Chinese Feng Shui believes that houses with civil structures are more beneficial to the human body. It is a miracle that the Forbidden City has been preserved intact after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the 19th year of Yongle, the three halls were burned by thunder and fire, and it was completed in the sixth year of Ming Zhengtong In the Qing Dynasty, there were some changes to the Ming palace. For example, Emperor Kangxi renovated the building in the area of ​​East Road outside the Neiting and renamed it Ningshou Palace for the empress dowager to live in. Fengtian Gate was changed to Qianqing Gate, and Emperor Yongzheng built a new building on the east side of Qianqing Palace A fasting palace was built exclusively for fasting, and a new archery pavilion was built in Fengxian Hall, which was specially used to test martial arts champions. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he not only built a large garden, but also built a Tibetan-style building - Yuhua Pavilion , and the newly built Ningshou Palace is gorgeous and beautiful, with extremely luxurious decorations. It is the palace where Emperor Qianlong lived when he was preparing to abdicate after 60 years in office and became the Supreme Emperor. It is a representative work of Qianlong's prosperity."

The first three halls of the outer dynasty, namely the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, and Hall of Preserving Harmony, are the center of the Forbidden City.

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony is extremely ornately decorated, with bucket arches under the eaves, the upper eaves are single-curved, three-raised and nine-stepped golden dougong, the lower layer is single-curved and heavy-raised, seven-stepped golden dougong, and ten beasts on the eaves and corners. It is an isolated example of the highest level of roof decoration. Its architectural scale and decoration rank are the first among the existing ancient buildings." Chang Qin said, leading Xi Ling through the Baohe Hall to the Qianqing Palace. There are thrones in the middle, and above the throne is an upright and bright plaque. The emperor's succession announcements were hidden behind the plaque.

"The Qianqing Palace was the emperor's bedroom in the Ming Dynasty. Since Yongzheng moved to the Yangxin Palace in the Qing Dynasty, it was used as the place where the emperor summoned ministers, reviewed memorials, handled government affairs, and held inner court banquets." Xi Ling said, "In ancient times, no matter the emperor Officials, aristocrats, or ordinary people, the bedrooms do not exceed nine square meters, because Chinese Feng Shui believes that 'the larger the room is, the more energy is diffused', so the bedroom should generally not be larger than nine square meters, even for emperors."

"Speaking of dorms." Chang Qin interjected, "When I was in college, there were several lectures on the drainage system of ancient buildings. Mr. Wen Zhenheng mentioned the structure of bathrooms in his "Long Wu Zhi". The wall divides the bathroom into two parts, the front and the back. The front room is built with an iron pot to hold water, and the back room is built with a stove to boil water. The bathroom needs to be airtight to prevent the cold wind from entering. A well is dug outside the bathroom near the wall, and a windlass is installed to carry water , dig holes in the wall to bring water into the room, and dig a ditch outside the house to drain the water out. And in this Forbidden City, the emperor is even richer, and directly dug a golden river to drain the water."

"About the drainage system in the Forbidden City, I have indeed heard from my teacher." Xi Ling smiled and said, "During the initial construction, the drainage needs were considered, and the north was high and the south was low. The rivers are connected to discharge water into the Jinshui River, and the underground ditches are divided into depths and depths. The ditches are connected to form an underground drainage network with the function of self-flowing drainage. These drainage systems have been kept in good condition, so there has never been a problem for hundreds of years. There have been records of flooding and flooding in the Forbidden City, and I have to lament the wisdom of the ancients."

Chang Qin looked at Xi Ling and jokingly said, "I told you earlier, we are a match made in heaven. I would like to ask Lawyer Xi, 'Would you like to accept Changying and restrain the king of Nanyue so that he can come down'?" After finishing speaking, he pretended to ask He bowed his head.

Xi Ling looked at him for a while, and finally shook his head: "I'll have to go out when Mr. Jiang signs the signature tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."

"Where are you going?" Chang Qin asked helplessly.

"Xining."

"When are you leaving?" Chang Qin continued to ask.

Xi Ling looked at him, hesitated for a while, and said, "The day after tomorrow."

Chang Qin heard that without saying a word, he took out his mobile phone and pressed it for a long time. Seeing this, Xi Ling couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing?"

"You're right. If you want to build a good house, you must visit the site. Xining is a blessed place and it's worth visiting." Chang Qin quickly glanced at Xi Ling, "Train? Airplane?"

Xi Ling held his forehead and said helplessly, "Airplane."

"Okay, it's done!" After speaking, he stuffed the phone back into his pocket, and looked at Xi Ling triumphantly.

Xi Ling only felt black lines all over his face, so he rolled his eyes at the other party and walked away.
