Chapter 851 Bricks on the City Wall
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:33Qi Tai finished his work for the day and returned home early in the afternoon.
He sat on a wicker chair in his study for a long time, drinking tea. There was an Imperial College student studying for him next to him. He was reading "Tongjian", and the edition was Jingyou's version of the Southern Song Dynasty. He has read this book a long time ago, but sometimes he wants to review it but doesn't want to strain his eyes; so he will find someone to read it and just sit and listen.
There are often scholars and officials coming and going in the Qi Mansion. Those scholars who have no status yet, if they can wait and study in front of Qi Tai, it is simply a job they dream of. The prison student chosen by Qi Tai has a good voice, reads with a clear accent, and sounds very comfortable.
Sometimes, Qi Tai would also listen to some popular books, such as "Song Jiang", a book about counter-revolt written by the modern scholar Shi Naian, which Qi Tai found very interestin

Game of the Throne Chapter 852: Spring Breeze is Like Scissors
It’s been a while since I visited Eun Hui. Zhu Gaoxu asked the eunuch Cao Fu to arrange everything early in the morning, and ordered Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to deploy guards and go to inform Enhui.Today, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his mood had changed, as if the spring breeze was blowing on the water, creating some ripples. He likes to travel with a purpose and a goal, knowing roughly what he wants to do. Perhaps this is also a kind of impetuosity.In the morning, Zhu Gaoxu went about his business step by step, only secretly looking forward to his trip in the afternoon. After he left Fengtian Gate, he went to the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace; this was because every time he left the palace privately, he always took the Xuanwu Gate to the north. There are mostly government offices in the south, and civil and military officials often use Xihua Gate and Donghua Gate to enter the palace. Few court ministers enter and exit through the north ga

Before Youshi, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace. He arrived at Qianqing Palace first, turned his head on his shoulder and took a few deep breaths, but he didn't smell any fragrance.But it is said that women are very sensitive to smells. Zhu Gaoxu was going to Kunning Palace tonight, and he was afraid that Guo Wei would smell it and cause trouble for her. Besides, the dirty lining must be changed, so Zhu Gaoxu asked the maid on duty to prepare hot water for bathing and changing clothes first.In the evening, he went to Kunning Palace as if nothing had happened, as if he had not looked for anyone else that day.Guo Wei seemed not to notice, and continued to chat with Zhu Gaoxu about trivial matters, mostly about how she took care of Yao Ji and Du Qianrui. This was because the two concubines had just given birth and were in confinement.Zhu Gaoxu sat in a chair, just waiting for dinner, and he couldn't help but praise Guo Wei from time to time, saying th

Qi Tai's plan did not proceed according to the "expected process".But the result was as expected. Qian Xun's memorial went through many twists and turns, from the cabinet to the treasure office, and then to the emperor, and finally passed the decision after the court discussion. So Qian Xun did not resign; and the matter of Ru Rong taking charge of the Southern Office Iron Factory did not happen.The situation is like this, and it is true that the positions of the officials in the court are very complicated. The situation is not as simple as a dispute between the new and old parties, and there are many people who are trying to smooth things over.A few days later, it was the ten-day holiday. The Minister of Works, Ru Rong, suddenly invited Qi Tai to go to Longjiang Temple to worship. Qi Tai also felt that he should talk to Ru Rong and others, so he naturally did not refuse.Longjiang Temple is next to the Dajiang Port, and you can see the river in fro

Mujia was a common holiday for the court, with one day off every ten days. It meant that officials were concerned about their appearance, so they would take a day off to bathe and change clothes every once in a while; however, bathing did not require a whole day, and Mujia was just a more polite way of saying it.Zhu Gaoxu did not report for duty either, and left the palace to go to the Shen family opera house by the Qinhuai River.This time the person in charge of guarding was not Zhang Sheng, but Du Erlang. Du Erlang is a theater fan. He often goes to opera theaters and is very familiar with that kind of place. The person who received Zhu Gaoxu was Shen Xu herself. It is said that she did not come here often because the Shen and Xu family's business was far more than just a pear orchard.Today's theaters and restaurants are very lively. There are a large number of officials and scholars in the capital. It coincides with the holiday and is a time for making

There were no musicians in the private room, and Li Louxian didn't change his costume. However, her postures and movements are appropriate, and most importantly, her eyes are very magical. Her face was covered with heavy makeup, and only her eyes could express the emotions of the opera lines, but her emotions seemed to really linger with the music and come from her heart."I would rather stay alone and poor, live my youth, and never have a man in this life, so I won't be affected by misfortunes. If I get married and know that I love you, it will be a worthwhile wedding in the bridal chamber..." She was singing her lines, and her words were precise. Round and very clear. Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xu were sitting next to the coffee table, admiring it intently.The lyrics of operas are sung very slowly, and as long as you listen patiently, you can understand the plot. Zhu Gaoxu felt that the content of this play was empty, but fortunately Li Louxian's acting skills were sup

Yao Fang was still in Iwami Province. He usually lived in Iwami Guard, one of the two guards established by the Ming army; the other was Hakata Guard in Kyushu.Iwami-no-Mae is not in Iwami Castle, but on the seashore, and a port has been built near the castle. The original Iwami Castle is located in the southeast, built on the hillside of an important valley passage, and guarded by the Japanese Tao Jing.The center of the Ming army here was at the seaside in order to get reinforcements from the ocean and transport to the seaport. The Japanese army in Iwami Province was originally mainly prepared for enemies from other areas on land, so the location was different.The location of the Iwami Silver Mine was deep in the southeastern mountainous area. The Ming army had repaired a post road from Iwami Guard and Iwami Castle to the silver mine, with post stations and official shops along the way; at the same time, they built garrisons at important hurdles and set

Shibukawa returned home after dark. She lowered her head and walked quickly to the bedroom. Ouchi Masaru heard the sound of wooden clogs and immediately came over and said coldly, "Stop!"Shibukawa bowed awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Tao and I were in a hurry to finish embroidering a folding screen. I'm sorry I came back late."Ouchi Masaru walked over with a cold face. Shibukawa was frightened by his expression and hurriedly hid in the house. She tried to close the wooden door, but Ouchi Masaru grabbed the edge of the door with one hand, pushed it open with his backhand and walked in."What are you going to do? Stop! Don't..." Shibukawa said in panic.Ouchi Katsu refused to listen and forced himself up to lift her skirt to check her clothes. Shibukawa resisted vigorously and kept scolding Ouchi Katsu, and the two soon struggled together. After all, the woman's strength was not as strong as Ouchi Katsu's. She fell behind after a moment, but she was so asha

After night fell, Ouchi Katsu and Yao Fang were still in the tavern, drinking with Mori Sadanaga and enjoying the singing and dancing. Le Ji held a paper fan and danced to the sound of the flute. Ouchi Katsu and Mori were watching with great interest, but Yao Fang, a Ming countryman, seemed a little bored, perhaps not used to such simple singing and dancing.At this moment, someone suddenly opened the wooden door, walked quickly into the shop, came to the table and bowed, and said in Japanese, "Report, General Tao was attacked by an assassin in the other courtyard! The nearby warriors are all coming to reinforce."After hearing this, several people immediately got up from the floor. Mao Li said in Chinese, "Tao Jing encountered an assassin."Everyone paid the money and left the place in a hurry. Following the messenger, everyone went to the scene to check. Soon they heard a noise, a group of foot soldiers and archers were advancing. Torches were lit on the s

The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees.

The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm

This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which

The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
