People returned to the rectangular oak dining table. The beige light from the scattered light bulbs was bright but not glaring. The solid wood speaker worth 30,000 yen was playing a beautiful but peculiar song.
Various traditional oriental orchestral instruments, violin melodies, and the gentle singing of female voices interpret a range of musical styles that classical music has never had. The complex combination of instruments can produce a harmonious and delicate auditory sense. This is probably the reason why this song has become a classic.
Gao Xu was sitting at the top, with Wang Cheng and his wife on his left, and Miao Jin and Xiao Deng on his right. Wang Cheng said, "This is the music from the book "The Ideal Country" during the reign of Emperor Xingzong. It was a turbulent and colorful era, like the second Hundred Schools of Thought."
Gao Xu immediately responded, "One of them is "The Transformation of Pastoral". It was chosen by Xiaowan."

The chef and his assistants had already left, leaving only two waiters cleaning up the kitchen.Gao Xu invited the guests to drink juice by the swimming pool in the backyard, and at the same time freed up the restaurant for the waiters to clean up. He was not very used to doing housework, and he didn't want to do it, so he felt that Miaojin should do less.He was a little drunk, but it was once again verified that people can still be relatively conscious after being drunk.A total of two bottles of liquor with over 50% alcohol content were opened, mainly consumed by Gao Xu and Wang Cheng, and Xiao Deng also drank a lot. The remaining two women mainly drank sweet red wine.Wang Cheng's characteristic was that he talked a lot when he was drunk. When a few people were sitting by the swimming pool, he started rambling, and after a while he started talking about the law. Why is this topic, probably because he is familiar with it."Mr. Liu, let me tell
The piece of paper in Xiao Deng's hand represents a huge sum of money.Two million yuan, calculated according to the grain price, is equivalent to 10 or 20 million yuan. Even in the most expensive areas of Beijing and Taicang, she can buy two or three high-rise properties. For an ordinary person, it is exaggerated to say that this amount of money has the power to change the trajectory of life."This is the compensation you deserve. It's already your personal funds." Gao Xu said calmly, "You should accept it first. We have no right to ask how you deal with it."Gao Xu suddenly wanted to know how Xiao Deng would eventually deal with her family disputes and what would happen next.He also felt that his thoughts seemed a little lacking in sympathy, but he was indeed very curious. The industrialized Ming Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty and any other era; but Gao Xu vaguely realized that some of the traditional intrinsic things did not seem to ha
Going there in the summer didn't seem like a good choice. Gao Xu and Miao Jin had just gotten off the plane and were waiting for a car outside Cairo Airport. He immediately felt like he was in a big steamer and sweat broke out all over his body.The person he admired most at this time was Miao Jin, who was beside him. She was dressed very tightly, wearing lace-up leather shoes, canvas trousers, a loose cotton long-sleeved shirt, a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, with almost no skin exposed except for her hands."Are you okay?" Gao Xu asked kindly.Miao Jin glanced sideways, facing him with sunglasses, and said weakly, "If you calm down, you will feel cooler."Gao Xu seemed to have said this many times.Finally, a Ming-made "Mountain Tiger" off-road vehicle arrived. When we contacted the hotel by phone, they said that the person picking us up at the airport was driving a Mountain Tiger off-road vehicle. Sure enough, a sign was extended from the w
There was an air-conditioned tea room next to the restaurant downstairs. Miao Jin, who was wearing long-sleeved clothes, suggested drinking some tea until dusk. Gao Xu naturally followed her wishes.They both ordered a kind of black tea that the locals loved to drink. After a while, a black girl came over with a few ceramic containers. She should be Nubian. Gao Xu was not sure, but those with darker skin were most likely Nubians.She first put a dish of white sugar on the table, and the sugar in it stood out. Gao Xu then said to Miao Jin, "It seems that people like to eat sweets.""Dang!" Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Gao Xu turned around, only to see a teacup falling to the ground, causing pieces to scatter and tea to spill all over the floor. The black girl immediately froze on the spot, then she put the other tea cup on the table, trembling all over and knelt on the ground to pick up the pieces. Come to tears.After a while, a tall white man
The next day, Gao Xu finally realized why the tour guide named Mona spoke tentatively about the daily wage. It turned out that the daily wage of ordinary people in the area was between three and four yuan, and this was the income of people with jobs.When Gao Xu was a clerk in the company, his daily salary was about 170 yuan. He neglected the exchange rate of Ming yuan and did not realize that the Ming people could easily earn more than 40 times that. No wonder Mona said that she only served Ming people, and it was hard to determine whether the reason was because "Ming people are polite."The local prices were not necessarily low. For example, the price of the Shanhu brand off-road vehicle driven by Yang Kui was more than double that of the Ming Dynasty. The only low-priced item was food, which was said to be heavily subsidized by the government every year.Yesterday, the French couple complained that the locals were unpunctual and lazy, and they probably th
After leaving the pyramids, most tourists from various countries will continue to go south along the Nile River, where there are several famous temples, or go north to Alexandria, where there are Greek cultural relics.However, Gao Xu and his group of four gave up the ancient attractions and headed east to the Suez Canal, preparing to go south along the canal to the ruins of the "East Port Fortress". This is a very unpopular route because there is really not much mystery.Along the way, Miao Jin began to tell the history before and after World War I, as well as the story of the canal. Gao Xu combined the information he read from books and gradually understood all of this in a systematic way.In the early days of steam engine application, that is, in the late Wude period, Gao Xu was still alive (the second half of the 15th century AD). During his half-century-long rule, he invested many years of financial funds in the development of industrial technology and
The border generals who rebelled under the banner of "clearing the emperor's side" were eventually wiped out by the imperial army composed of the Beijing camp and local troops. However, the problems of the Ming Dynasty were far from being solved, and they had just begun.The rebel is dead, but the manifesto he left behind is still there and has a huge impact.Just like all the wars in the Ming Dynasty, those who started the war had to find "righteousness" first and have a legitimate reason. The general and his entourage, of course, understood these things, so they launched the campaign to clear the emperor's court, pointing out that the emperor was surrounded by treacherous officials. The direct evidence was the emperor's curse that "the whole court is full of treacherous officials." They also listed the crimes of those "treacherous officials" in detail.The gist of the manifesto is that the treacherous and corrupt officials relied on their power to deceive
Today, the Donggang Fortress has long been abandoned, and the modern garrison no longer needs such fortifications. After going through vicissitudes of time, it has been preserved and has become a relatively unpopular tourist attraction.The bunker was mottled with bullet holes from the past, and even the world's largest fortress cannon at the time became a must-see exhibit here. Gao Xu touched the pits and dents on the wall, and, under the guidance of the tour guide, climbed up the fortress along a narrow stone staircase.There were indeed few tourists, and there were only a few other white people who came up to visit.Finally, I saw the fortress cannon. The tail parts had long been rusted, and the cannon body had turned brown, without any metallic luster. But its posture remained the same. The huge cannon barrel tilted towards the sky, as if telling of its former majesty.Gao Xu seemed to see thick smoke rising and the earth shaking, and seemed to hea
