[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

After the Ghost Festival, the weather began to cool down gradually, and the two-month Red Chamber Exhibition will also come to an end.

Xia Anran's system still didn't respond every day, and Xia Anran didn't know whether the system couldn't speak in reality, or whether it deliberately didn't speak, but the system pretended to be dead, and he couldn't help it.

He didn't get the flower hoe that the system said was rewarded before.

I couldn't find the system, and there was no window for complaints. When I asked the senior cats in the Forbidden City, they all said that they didn't know how to find the director.

There is no way to inquire, no way to ask for help, no way to complain.

...the three-no system.

Xia Anran silently defined her own system.

He checked the time a few days after waking up. Although he didn't pay attention before doing the task, the exhibition hadn't opened at that time, and the exhibition had just opened after waking up.It was almost five or six days.

In the past five or six days, Xia Anran's cat body has not been affected in any way, except for the hardening of the fur on her face.It can tentatively consider that the physical time during the mission is stagnant.

Moreover, after the task is completed, the client Hua Hoe can no longer talk to him.

No matter how Xia Anran meowed beside the flower hoe, she never got any response, just like, it was just an ordinary flower hoe.

On the contrary, Xia Anran was invited out of the exhibition hall because it affected tourists' viewing of the exhibition, and was named and criticized in the Q group. The majority of cat lovers were forbidden to eat for one day.

The reason why Xia Anran knew this was because when he went to eat, everyone said to him with regretful eyes, you did something bad today!To be banned from feeding!Can only eat cat food.

Then he overheard that these people also had a Q group, which was dedicated to punishing naughty cats in the Forbidden City.

Xia Anran: Wait, big brothers, this is inconsistent with your cold and cold image, meow!

Why do you want to create a Q group to say that today's small poop is finished and not buried, the imperial concubine refuses to have her nails cut, and Ah Hua caught a bird today and played for a long time but was pecked?

Shouldn't your Q groups be writing about more complicated things?For example, the restoration of a certain national treasure, a certain leader is coming to visit and so on!

Of course, you guys don’t know that there is a cat who feels that the three views have collapsed. On the contrary, they also shared in the group how frustrated the little milk cat was after they refused to feed the little black and yellow.

It's fun to be bullied once in a while.

One autumn rain and one cold, a little bit of gold lights up the Forbidden City.

The frost is falling and the sky is quiet. In autumn in Beijing, when there is no smog, Xia Anran thinks this is the most suitable day of the year to visit the Forbidden City.

The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the ginkgoes are dyed a little gold, and the crimson palace walls are set up. Whether it is for taking pictures or simply admiring them, it is very beautiful.

But Xia Anran is not free these days, because in the garden of the Compassionate Ning Palace, there are two ginkgo trees that are the oldest in Beijing.

In addition, there are a large number of pines and cypresses, phoenix trees, ancient catalpas, magnolias, peonies and other flowers planted in the Garden of Compassionate Palace. One of the flower viewing spots... Compared to the bustling crowds of people taking pictures in the Imperial Garden, this place is very good.

Cough, I accidentally posted an advertisement, after all, Xia Anran is now stationed in the Garden of Compassion Ning Palace, and she is the garden cat here.

Although the ginkgo is not yet yellow, most of the tourists who come here are tourists from all over the country, and they always have a little luck in their hearts.

Xia Anran's quiet life was interrupted when more people came to admire the ginkgo.

Sometimes when you are basking in the sun and sleeping on the Taihu stones, you will be woken up by the screams of children.

It's like this again today...

Xia Anran turned over and stuffed the cat's head into the crevice of the stone, trying to block the children's screams and the glare of the sun, but he failed, so he got up resentfully, jumped to the ground, and dodged The crowd of onlookers trotted to Xisan Institute.

Xisan Institute is the location of the ancient Lenggong, and now it is the location of the Research Department of the Forbidden City.

It's working hours now, and this is a closed area, which is quieter than other places.

It's just that there is also a resident cat here, and she is a pretty girl with a good temper.

Generally, cats have to say hello to other cats when they go to other places, so as not to be thought of as robbing the territory.Xia Anran yelled softly at the door twice, but got no response, it seems that Miss Xiaohua is not there.

He ran in and yelled happily, "Meow~ Teachers, I'm coming!"

Then he smelled... a foul stench! !

Smelly stink! ! !

Xia Anran couldn't control it and exploded!Then the little paw that was about to step in suddenly kicked the ground, and jumped out quickly.Soon his sharp little ears picked up the laughter behind him.

Okay...it's a sunny day today, it seems that the lacquerware team is drying the lacquer.

The smell of raw lacquer is really... smelly, fishy and pungent!No wonder the little flower girl ran away, even cats had to run away.

It rattled and ran to the next room. Several researchers were surrounding a vessel. He jumped onto the window sill and looked in through the glass window. It was a bronze vessel.

Hey, did you send a new bronze vessel?

The Forbidden City often needs help from other museums is the Bronze Museum, because bronzes have been used for a long time in our country, and there are many unearthed cultural relics, but there are also many damaged ones. The restoration of bronzes in the Palace Museum has always been relatively famous. If the museum is not sure, it will be sent for reference.

Xia Anran poked a cat's head in, a little curious about what new cultural relic it was.

"Is this from the two Jin Dynasties?"

"Yes, the National Museum next door sent a bronze mirror with Buddha statues with four leaves and eight phoenixes. Isn't our National Day Exhibition going to be linked with the National Museum Gambo and many others to hold the Three Kingdoms Exhibition? I will send this piece for a little repair."

Xia Anran's cat ears stood up all of a sudden.

Oooo!Heard the key words!Three Kingdoms!

"Yo, it's so big."

"More than 60 first-class cultural relics, and many of them are newly restored by Tongque Terrace. They are exhibited for the first time. Some of them have to be exhibited abroad after a round of domestic exhibitions. As for Japan, isn't that country particularly enthusiastic about the culture of the Three Kingdoms?" .”

"They invite several times a year. Recently, the relationship between the two countries has been quite harmonious, and the superiors have approved it. It will be around March next year. This time, we will show it to our own people."

"Okay, the last exhibition of the Three Kingdoms was more than ten years ago... I remember I was still studying at that time, what is it this time? The Three Kingdoms Exhibition or the Romance Exhibition?"

"It is said that the two will be put together and exhibited together... The higher-ups now find that many young people want to take the Romance as real history, and they also want to promote the official history. So they will probably show the difference between the official history and the Romance."

Xia Anran's ears shook again and again, and then she narrowed her eyes in happiness.

"It seems that Zhuge Liang's wooden cow and horse have been restored this time...it was copied by a folk artist."

"The Zhuge Liannu was also released."

"Oh, that's amazing."

Xia Anran got excited and jumped up, his movement attracted the attention of the two masters, "Oh, isn't this little black and yellow, it's rare to see you here."

A master looked at the dye he was holding, but didn't do anything, "We don't have anything to eat here, you have to go to the next door to get it."

"Meow~~"

Cats don't come to eat.

Xia Anran stepped on it with her small paws, then slowly moved her tail towards him. He didn't run to the cultural relics either. Even the rat catchers of the Forbidden City were not allowed to get close to the cultural relics.

Finding a slightly higher table with nothing on it, he pondered for a while, jumped up with a snap, and looked at the bronze mirror below from a high position.

This is a mirror that has been repaired. With the skillful hands of the masters, the bronze mirror can still show people's shadows when it is occasionally folded. Of course, the effect is not as good as that of the mirror, and it will be somewhat polarized.

And during the exhibition, most of the inscriptions on the back are the main ones, and the mirror part is not shown to the visitors, but Xia Anran can see that the mirror is also bright, which can reflect the faces of the masters.

=w=

Seeing that he was not making trouble, the two masters didn't have time to chase him away, but one of them changed his seat and put Xia Anran in his field of vision, maybe because he was afraid that Xia Anran would rush over suddenly. An Ran simply got down on the ground to reassure them.

Soon he was falling asleep to the sound of metal being rubbed and polished.

It was the cat’s nap time, but he was woken up by tourists again. The master’s voice was soft and soft, and the Beijing dialect sounded very nice. Amid the regular friction sound, he yawned and fell asleep middle.

In the next few weeks, he saw many cultural relics that were sent in for processing one after another.

Among them is a set of bronze chariot honor guards, a total of 99 bronze chariots and horses of the Han Dynasty, which were also unearthed from the Leitai tomb, and the same tomb as the famous horse stepping on the flying swallow.

Of course, as a cat, Xia Anran didn't see this set of cultural relics immediately.

When it was delivered, it was still sleeping with the black rabbit in its arms. When he heard the wind, this set of cultural relics had already been put in the warehouse, and it was time for the exhibition next time.

At this time, the Red Mansions Exhibition had come to an end, Xia Anran specially ran to take a last look. Like many times before, Huahoe didn't speak to him.

He was a little melancholy. After the Red Mansion Exhibition ended, everything returned to a peaceful life, so peaceful that he felt that his previous trip to the Red Mansion was really a dream.

But soon, the remaining vacant pavilions began to be refurbished, and the Three Kingdoms Exhibition was about to begin.

The main exhibits of the Three Kingdoms Exhibition are mainly bronzes and large pieces, and it was the era of the main slaughter. The layout of the exhibition hall is completely different from the graceful atmosphere of the Red House.

The lights of the whole hall were dimmed, and the cultural relics were dotted inside the hall like stars in the vast galaxy. The most eye-catching thing at the entrance was the formation of cars, with a torrential momentum, sweeping the majesty of thousands of years ago.

And this exhibition still uses the 3D projection mode to restore and project the car array on the back of the cultural relics according to the real scale, so that visitors can intuitively see their actual appearance.

When you enter again, the exhibits are arranged in a timeline. The left column is the official history of the Three Kingdoms, and the right column is the history told by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

When Xia Anran came in, the environment here was still very bright. He couldn't help but squinted his eyes when he looked at the contrast between left and right. I don't know how many tourists will feel as if they have seen a fake Three Kingdoms after visiting.

Due to the political inclination of its author, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms emphasizes the Shu Han and despises Cao Wei, Sun Wu, and especially portrays Zhuge Liang as a personal image of a confidant who is sure to win. The strategies that can be called myths, such as the acquisition of the empty city, the empty city plan, etc., were sent to the altar and became the embodiment of the wisdom of the Chinese nation.

If you ask the most powerful generals of all time, you may be able to quarrel for three or four days, but if you ask the smartest people.

Ninety-nine percent, push Zhuge Liang.

Isn't he smart then?Of course not, Zhuge Liang, who was not yet a fledgling, set the future political direction of the Shu Han regime in a few words.

It's just that Zhuge Liang in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is Luo Guanzhong who gathered the light of the entire Three Kingdoms counselors in one person.

In fact, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, not only one thriving, but a hundred flowers blooming.

Xia Anran also experienced such a period. When learning the history of the Three Kingdoms, his history teacher made them forget the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the first class.

He naturally knew about this blow, but he also knew that after this blow, they would find that the history of the Three Kingdoms was very, very interesting and very, very exciting.

And Zhuge Liang, in addition to being smart, also has the most appreciated traits of the Chinese nation-loyalty and dedication.

Including his end, although he is not keen on rights and the voice of the people, but in the end, he burns all his wisdom, strength, and life to fight for the impossible. Shu Han, the weakest regime in the three-point world regime, To collide with the most powerful Cao Wei regime.

Knowing it can't be done.

It's all because of the sentence in the "Teacher's List": This minister reported to the late emperor and was loyal to His Majesty's duty.

He is loyal to his duties, loyal to his promise to Liu Bei, and will do his best to die until he dies.

And before his death, the memorial of "Self-observation and Empress Lord" was the first prime minister in history to disclose his personal property, clean and honest.

Later generations commented that the Shu Han was also under its governance, the Tao did not pick up lost things, the strong did not invade the weak, and the weather was awe-inspiring.

This is why Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang admire him so much.

This is Zhuge Kongming who has done so much for generations.

There are a lot of clever tricks, but they are just adding color.

History is always not as good-looking or exciting as novels, but only history can best reflect a person's character.

Throughout the ages, there are countless historical figures destroyed by novels, and some descendants will not find peace after death.

A literati's pen can't kill people, but it can make you notorious for thousands of years. The earliest victim is probably Cao Cao.

Before the Northern Song Dynasty, the political center of the country was in the Central Plains. Except for the Jin Dynasty, Cao Wei was generally recognized as orthodox, because Cao Pi had obtained the edict of the Zen throne and had a formal ceremony to ascend the throne. Although Liu Bei had the blood of the Liu family, in the end It is self-proclaimed king, Sun Quan... not to mention.

It was only later that in the Southern Song Dynasty, firstly, Zhu Xi practiced Confucianism, and secondly, the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty moved southward, from Kaifeng to Nanjing Yingtianfu.

Since ancient times, the state power has been in the north, so there is a theory of taking over the Central Plains. After the Southern Song Dynasty moved the center of power, due to political needs and other reasons, the Shu Han was named orthodox.

Later countries mostly practiced Confucianism, and naturally regarded the Shu Han as orthodox. When talking about Cao Cao, they brought the resentment of stealing the country.

Until modern times, gradually began to reverse the verdict.

However, the image of the white-faced treacherous minister has been established in Peking Opera, and it is difficult to reverse the verdict.

Although Xia Anran felt that someone with Cao Cao's personality would probably not care even if he knew about it.

How can a person who bluntly said: "There is no orphan in a country, and I don't know how many people will be emperors and how many people will be kings", how could he care about the evaluation of future generations?

Xia Anran stretched her waist. Since the cultural relics were put in, cats were not allowed to enter this room. Although there is thickened glass, the sensitivity of the glass cannot bear the weight of a cat, especially a cat. stress when jumping.

Although his current body is still underage, his weight has risen to four catties. He is bigger...not as cute as when he was a child.

The coquettish tactics of Bailing Bailing in the past are now occasionally ignored.

Xia Anran was very sad about this, but fortunately, at noon every day, he was able to take advantage of the time when the staff were eating boxed lunches to go in for a stroll. The cultural relics were covered by tempered glass, and besides staining the glass, a kitten would also Can't do anything.

The arrangement is coming to an end, and several people from the Propaganda Department have come to take pictures to warm up. Because this time there is a co-exhibition of Romance, so in addition to cultural relics, there are many weapons restored according to the original works or historical descriptions.

For example, the two most famous weapons in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Fang Tian's Painting Halberd, as well as Jiaoweiqin and Baiyu Fan, two utensils that did exist in history but have been lost.

These are all produced by contemporary artists based on historical data and after various scrutiny.

Especially the Jiaoweiqin, although no one will play it during the exhibition, but Xia Anran saw that it was tuned by a master.

And the master also played an impromptu song, which is the Guqin adaptation of the theme song "Rolling Yangtze River East" of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Guqin is not a very popular musical instrument. Gein's tone is mostly bass-heavy, and it's not that it can't produce high notes, but it loses its charm when it uses high notes.

Xia Anran has studied piano art in the world of red chambers, and now he is considered an entry-level rookie. He sits next to the master and squints his eyes. The master sits cross-legged, and the piano is on his lap. This posture can be described as very casual. .

The sound of the guqin is long and open-minded, and this song is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The master's technique is skillful. Between rubbing and picking, a distant scene seems to be in front of your eyes.

Xia Anran was a little intoxicated when he heard it, the cat's head swayed to the music, and the big red bow made small waves following his movements, calling to stop. How does this song go?"

"Meow meow~" Xia Anran stretched out her small paw and patted his hand, as if to praise him, the old man's hand didn't move, and let the cat put its soft and somewhat cold paw on it. in his hand.

The old man has been making violins for many years. This time he received an invitation from the Ministry of Culture to make Jiaowei Qin. He selected materials by himself, and it took more than two years to finally make this violin.

Fortunately, the country found a good piece of sycamore wood for him, and specially processed silk with ancient methods to make the strings, and used jade as the emblem.

It's a pity that this violin will only be parked in a museum in the future, and it will not belong to the individual.

He touched his qin lightly in a bit of bewilderment, the qin was a good qin, and it could be said to be his masterpiece in this life.

It's just...a good piano must be played by someone.

A violin in a museum... no matter how good it is, so what.

When he wasn't paying attention, the cat's paw touched the strings lightly.

A sound was clicked.

The old man was stunned for a while, but he didn't stop it. The cat seemed to be very interested in the sounding string, and then tapped it a few more times, then raised its head high and meowed meowingly. stop.

The beard is trembling with joy.

This cute look made the old man couldn't help touching its hair with his calloused hands due to years of repairing and playing the piano.

His hand, which is used to touching the wood, touched the smoothness of the fur, and Xia Anran, who felt comfortable touching his forehead, couldn't help but leaned over, and rubbed his cheek against the old man's hand.

The old man has the smell of wood in his hands, which is a very reassuring smell.

Xia Anran was being touched, and without paying attention, the whole cat slid up to the person, and he stepped on the body of the Jiaoweiqin.

After the chime bell rang for a long time, Xia Anran felt a warm feeling on her neck, followed by a sweet girl's voice.

[Accepted that there is an acceptable entrusted object nearby, do you want to connect? 】

Commissioned object?Xia Anran was stunned, silently retracted her paw, and glanced at Jiao Weiqin.

The system task triggered suddenly, the only action he did just now, this time the entrusted object is Jiao Weiqin?

But there are so many ancient relics in this exhibition hall?Why did Jiaoweiqin, which was clearly imitated by modern people, become a monster?

He is a little uncertain now, but he still accepts the task,

Then he heard a deep male voice [I am Jiao Weiqin, can Mr. Meng give me a dream? 】

...It really was Jiao Weiqin.

Xia Anran didn't rush to reply, he walked away from the old man, approached Jiao Weiqin, looked up and down, and sniffed, there was an obvious smell of wood.

He has seen the Guqin restored by the woodwork group, and has also sniffed it quietly. The smell of the old one is different from the new one.

This is indeed the new Jiaoweiqin.

The last flower hoe, the system said it was made into a fine due to human obsession, but the Jiao Weiqin has just been finished, and it has not been exhibited publicly, and besides the Aegean, no one will entrust it to it. Too deep emotion.

The owner of Jiaoweiqin, Cai Yong, was a famous writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but many people in modern times are more familiar with him because he has Cai Wenji, the most talented woman in the Three Kingdoms.It is understandable for Huahoe to say that Lin Daiyu gave birth to spiritual wisdom, but although it is a bit rude to say so, Xia Anran feels that people who are obsessed with Cai Yong and Cai Wenji are definitely far inferior to Lin Daiyu.

He thought about it for a while, but he didn't figure out the reason, let alone understand the modern theory of becoming fine.

He thought that there would be some real ancient objects that became refined, but none of them became refined, but the modern imitations became refined...

"Meow~"

"What wish do you have?" Xia Anran said to Jiao Weiqin.

【Xie Mengjun,】

The slightly hoarse voice said slowly [I just want, my master will play another song with me. 】

Xia Anran was dumb for a moment, her cat's eyes widened.

This, this task, seems to be much simpler than that of the flower hoe, but the problem is, your master has never used you to play it.

He tilted his head, and was about to ask a very important question, when the system suddenly said in a girlish voice [The mission is about to start, please find a safe place for the host as soon as possible, after the mission starts, it cannot be stopped, countdown, 9:59]

Only 10 minutes?The last time was obviously 10 minutes!

Xia Anran was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped out. Last time he sprinted all the way, he found the tree hole before the time was up, but the problem is that his body is already big now, the tree hole must be I couldn't get in, and couldn't find any other place for a while, so I had to find my own gap first.

Next time, next time, I have to find a hiding place in advance!

Fortunately, Xia Anran was still a kitten at that time, but now he is a semi-adult cat, so the running speed is naturally not the same.

Soon, he got into the gap with his tongue out, and hugged his beloved little black rabbit. He rubbed the black rabbit's hairy ears, panting with exhaustion, "System, system, you finally made a sound! Tell me quickly , Is there something wrong with my memory?"

【...Host, I am new to the system, this is your second mission, right?The last system was a newcomer training system, which may not be very professional. 】

Xia Anran: ...

He began to think carefully, whether this young demon cultivation system is really reliable, and this kind of practice of temporary workers if something goes wrong is really suspicious!

But it's a pity that his opposition was suppressed by the system like a cannonball.

[Introduction, my name is Jinjiang Young Demon Cultivation System, and the host can call me Xiaojiang directly. 】

[Attention the host, there is still 1 minute to transmit, please confirm that the location is safe. 】

【Mission World Transmission】

[Characters are randomly selected to open, and the capture is complete]

[The host is in the process of inputting, and the input is complete.In memory instillation, the infusion is complete. 】

[The mission begins. 】

"Brother, let's sharpen the knife, my father said that he wants to treat his best friend's child to eat pork."

The author has something to say:

Believe me! !Three Kingdoms Roll Xia Miao and Shen Tu will be happy! ! !

And Xia Miao has not forgotten Shen Qi, he has forgotten his name, appearance, and his feelings have been weakened, and he still remembers things like falling in love... It just feels like 50 years have passed in an instant. I remember, but when I think about it again, I won’t feel the heartbeat anymore. If I still can’t understand it, read the previous one four times. After four times, you will understand. Sadness is still sad, but it won’t be the same as the first time. I feel like crying.

==

Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water is very nice!Although very short.

I couldn't find the Guqin version...but I think this piece is definitely suitable for Guqin. Here's one for you. Mr. Nanyi's "Guqin Thoughts Across Time and Space" is the one from the Inuyasha episode. Station B has it, and Netease Cloud also has it.

The guqin version is really really good to listen to!Has anyone ever learned the guqin?

When I was a child, Western music was popular, so the author learned the accordion =w= It’s a pity now, and then I lost it as soon as my mother didn’t force me...

If I have a baby in the future, I will definitely let him learn a musical instrument.

At that time, use the reason "You don't even have the qualifications to make a support video after you don't have a skill" to convince TA.

By the way, the author, when writing an article, I will basically find a piece of related music for inspiration.

For example, when I was in the Red Chamber, I used the Twelve Hairpin version of "Crazy and Crazy", so I listened to it when I was not inspired.

Babies, do you have any recommendations for particularly listening songs about the Three Kingdoms? Except "Quan Yu Tian Xia", "Duan Ge Xing", "Cao Cao" and "Red Cliff" ~ Please recommend! !

Oh by the way, does any of you want to know which music I was listening to when I wrote the last extra?Hehehe I know you don't want to know but I still want to tell you!It is "One Prayer to Heaven and Earth".
