Chapter 228 Cricket Pot and Crooked Neck Tree
"Boss Du, Lao Pu, why did you come in first without waiting for me!"

A group of four people were preparing to move forward from the square in front of the Meridian Gate when they saw a tall middle-aged man trotting over from behind, not forgetting to say hello loudly while running.

Li Feng was the first to stop after hearing this. Lao Du and Lao Pu looked at each other, then patted their heads, as if they remembered the person they missed.

"Lao Pu, look at my memory. As I get older, my brain just doesn't work well. Let's forget about Shen Zui, haha!"

Lao Pu pursed his thick lips and nodded silently. It seemed that his mood was still a little depressed. He held his waist in his mouth and waved weakly to the person coming from behind.

Li Nan didn't expect that he was not the only one to follow, and there were others who were left behind. He watched the person running over, grabbed his brother's arm, and stuck his head out.

From a distance, the person seemed familiar. Li Feng raised his ears high, listening to the conversation between Lao Pu and Lao Du, and wanted to know who the person was. He must be famous if he could hang out with them.

After being called drunk, Li Feng's brain was like a CPU, recalling what he knew about this person.

Maybe it was because I hadn't exercised strenuously for a long time, so I was drunk when I ran closer. My breathing was a little heavy. On a cold day, two strings of white mist came out of my nose. I put my hands on my knees and adjusted my breathing.

"It's you?"

"Hey, hoo~hoo~ yes, it's you boy!"

Before Lao Du and Lao Pu came up to say hello, Shenzui raised his head and looked at Li Feng for the first time, laughing so hard that he was out of breath.

"Do you know?"

Lao Du and Lao Pu looked at each other with confused faces. For some reason, Shenzui burst out laughing when he saw Li Feng. They were a little puzzled, but it seemed that they knew each other.

Li Feng had a dark face. How could he not recognize him? When he got closer, he recognized who this person was. Wasn't he one of the people who managed the black pig that was killed at the time?

His two raised eyebrows were similar to those of Lin Zhengying. He didn't know the name of the person at the time, but he knew that he was being kidnapped inside.

"Uh, hello, Comrade Shenzui, I'm Li Feng, the driver of the steel rolling mill. Let's get to know each other again. I didn't expect you to be here already!"

Li Feng smiled helplessly, and glanced at Li Nan with Shen Zui's eyes, hoping that he would not directly tell what happened that day when he saw that there was a sister next to him.

Boss Shen was indeed a spy and one of the "Four King Kongs" under Dai Li. After receiving the signal, he glanced at Li Nan who was hiding behind Li Feng and nodded lightly.

The two shook hands. Shen Zui's palm was very broad. When Li Feng shook it, he noticed the calluses on the tiger's mouth and index finger of his right hand, and was secretly shocked.

"He drove to deliver something "inside" before, but I was killing a pig at the time. I didn't stab him to death, but the pig ran away and was run over by his car."

Shen Zui, who had regained his composure, without any embarrassment, directly described the embarrassing scene when the two met for the first time.

Lao Du and Lao Pu seemed to know that the "inside" he meant was the management office, so they turned their stunned eyes to Li Feng. They didn't expect that the little guy who brought them in had also been to a training class. What a coincidence. .

Seeing that his brother had delivered goods to the uncle who had just arrived, and even killed the pigs in their factory, Li Nan was no longer as unfamiliar as before. He burst out laughing and moved out from behind his brother.

"He just came out?"

Li Feng raised his finger, pointed at Shenzui, and asked Lao Du and Lao Pu.

"No, you are living with us now. We originally made an appointment to come to the Forbidden City to visit together, but I didn't expect this guy to be late."

Lao Du and Li Feng nodded meaningfully, and then complained to Lao Pu about their intoxicated concept of time.

"Don't blame me. I met an "old friend" on the way. I was delayed for a while. Who knew I couldn't find you when I got to the door. Fortunately, I asked the person at the door and found out that you had come in first."

Shen Zui was not embarrassed at all. He shrugged his shoulders and showed his shamelessness to them openly. He couldn't do anything to himself anyway.

"I had to buy tickets when I went back to my house. I didn't know where to buy them at the time. He and his sister happened to be coming in and took us to buy the tickets!"

Lao Pu was more honest and explained why the two of them didn't wait for him.

"Now, the Forbidden City is open to the public, and everyone who comes has to buy a ticket, and then use the income to manage and maintain the Forbidden City!"

Shen Zui may have remembered what was said in the newspaper. Seeing Lao Pu looking a little angry, he patted his arm and explained patiently.

When he heard that the fee was used to repair his original home, Lao Pu looked better. For him, the Forbidden City was not just like home, but he didn't know when this "home" was no longer home.

Seeing that the wall in front of the Meridian Gate was mottled and overgrown with weeds, I felt that it was really time to repair it, and I felt a little better.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

Seeing that the three of them were chatting happily, Li Feng was afraid of delaying the rest of his trip, so he pursed his lips towards the inside of the Meridian Gate. It was too big inside, and the door should not be locked now. If he continued to delay, he might not be able to finish the tour.

"We old guys, let's talk while we walk, the little guys are impatient!"

Lao Du patted his belly and waved his hand. He no longer had the high-spirited manner in the past when he was scolding an army of hundreds of thousands. He was like a retired old man taking his juniors to the park.

"Li Feng, right? Which steel rolling mill are you the driver of?"

Here Li Feng and Li Nan walked in front, and the three of them walked behind. As they walked, Lao Du inadvertently asked Li Feng who was leading the way.

"My brother works at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. He is no longer a driver, he is the section chief of the transportation department!"

Li Nan seemed to be familiar with him, and with the three people who were very familiar with Li Feng, Li Feng felt a little regretful and came in with a big mouth. Even acquaintances shouldn't talk like this.

"Oh~, because of what happened inside?"

Shen Zui seemed to have guessed something, and looked at Li Feng with questioning eyes.

Li Feng, who was put on the fire by Li Nan, nodded helplessly. The time line of the lifting was too sensitive. People from the military command had a very sensitive sense of smell. It was not difficult to guess that he was afraid that these people would misunderstand him and use the people inside. as a stepping stone.

"That's good. Your educational level is not low. Being a truck driver is a bit humiliating!"

The old god Shen Zui clasped his hands behind his back and looked at everything around him curiously. He didn't seem to care about Li Feng's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"Being a driver is very talented. When we first came in, he was the one who introduced us all the way. Lao Pu was speechless. He is very knowledgeable and talented at such a young age."

Lao Du's eyes lingered on Shen Zui's body for a moment, and he vaguely felt that Li Feng might be more than just a pig. However, there was an "outsider" like Li Nan present, so it was not convenient for Shen Zui to talk about it for the time being.

"After passing the Meridian Gate, the one on this side is Neijin Shuimuqiao, and the one on the other side is..."

"Is it the Jinluan Palace? Brother, I've seen it in the history books. Isn't this where the emperor's son went to court? It's so big here!"

Before Li Feng finished the introduction, Li Nan looked at the solemn hall in front of him and the bronze lions standing on both sides. He pointed at the hall excitedly and interrupted.

After listening to Li Nan's words, the four people on the side seemed to be struck by thunder, and their eyes were all focused on Lao Pu. The emperor's son she talked about was right next to him.

Lao Pu twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Nan expressionlessly, sighed lightly, and said with a wry smile.

"This is the Gate of Supreme Harmony Square, and that is the Gate of Supreme Harmony, which is what the little guy calls (the Hall of Supreme Harmony) and the Jinluan Hall. However, the previous dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was the imperial gate to listen to politics. You can do it here, or you can In other places!"

Li Feng really didn't have enough knowledge in this area. He didn't know the difference between the Shang Dynasty and the imperial court. Only after listening to Lao Pu's introduction did he know the difference between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Listening to Lao Pu's narration, the emotions in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are really well restored, basically in line with the appearance of the Qing Dynasty Co., Ltd. during its morning meeting early in the morning. "Let's go in and take a look. I've long wanted to see what the dragon chair looks like?"

Shen Zui looked at the wide square and the meandering Jinshui River on both sides, his eyes a little excited, and he pulled everyone to take a look at the emperor's son's office.

In front of Taihe Gate Square is the white marble steps. At this time, they are not as white and shiny as in the TV series, but the color is dim. There is even black water in some places.

"The stairs are too high. It's hard to breathe. Aren't you usually tired?"

Standing at the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Zui was a little out of breath. Lao Du might not be able to bear it anymore. He bent over and hammered his legs. Looking at the indifferent expressions of the two young people, he complained to Lao Pu.

"Oops, I can't do it anymore. I'm getting older. There are 39 steps. When I came up, I was like them now."

Lao Pu leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the palace, looking blankly into the palace, panting, and pointed at Li Feng and Li Nan.

"It's not good to be old, it's better to be young. I remember that time, in Huangpu School, I ran five kilometers, as if nothing happened."

Lao Du touched the red-painted wooden door of Taihe Palace and couldn't help but shook his head.

Li Feng took a look and saw that there were really not many tourists here. Most of them were still downstairs. Looking at the bronze lion, there was no one in the hall now. No wonder Lao Du dared to say this.

"Lao Pu, do you feel comfortable sitting on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall?"

Shen Zui, who was in good physical condition, walked directly into the Hall of Supreme Harmony without any concern. He looked at the dragon chair in front and joked to Lao Pu at the door.

"Don't make fun of me. I was only three years old at that time. How could I know so much!"

"Brother, brother, he can't be?"

Listening to Shen Zui and Lao Pu joking, Lao Pu admitted it openly, not like bragging at all, his expression was natural, and then thinking about this person's surname Pu, Li Nan finally reacted.

"This is his home, he is Aisin Gioro, Puyi!"

Li Feng walked in and looked at the furnishings in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was the first time in his life that he had come in. In the past, he could only get an overview of it through TV dramas, but now he was immersed in it.

"Ah~, is he the last emperor?"

Li Nan covered his mouth, pointed at the bad old man outside the door in disbelief, and shouted loudly.

"The little girl is not bad at studying history. I didn't expect anyone to remember an old guy like me!"

Lao Pu, who walked in in a daze, didn't expect Li Nan's reaction to be so big, so he smiled bitterly and made a little joke.

"Then they?"

Li Nan pointed at Lao Du and Shenzui in surprise, with a strange look on his face, and turned into a crotch-licking cat and glanced at him quietly.

"What are you thinking about? If you should know, I will tell you. If you shouldn't know, don't ask!"

Angry, Li Feng went up and gave Li Nan a bang. The sound was so loud just now. Fortunately, it didn't alert anyone outside, otherwise he would have been looked at like a monkey.

"You little girl, don't think so wildly, we are not from the palace!"

Shen Zui's face turned a little blue, probably because he noticed Li Nan's strange look just now and knew that she had misunderstood him and Lao Du as father-in-law.

"Haha, I'm going to see if the things I hid before are still there."

Seeing Shen Zui's ugly face, Lao Pu laughed heartily, like an old child, walked to the dragon chair, sat down tentatively, closed his eyes and tried the feeling, then turned over to the back of the dragon chair and squatted down body.

"I want to try too!"

His expression returned to normal and he was intoxicated. He couldn't hold back his curiosity, and followed Lao Pu closely and sat down on the dragon chair.

“It’s a bit cold and a bit crowded!”

After giving his pertinent opinions, Shen Zui waved to Lao Du and asked him to try it too.

Li Feng looked at the three of them, taking turns sitting on the dragon chair, and licked the corner of his mouth. He wondered if after a few decades, this chair would no longer be reserved for people to sit on. Since they could sit on it, he would try it himself.

"Dong~ Ouch, it's still there, it's still there!"

Li Feng and Li Nan were sitting on the dragon chair, looking for something to feel. There was a clang sound from under the chair. Lao Pu covered his head and got out from behind, holding a jar in his hand.

"Isn't this a cricket fight?"

Shen Zui poked his head and looked at the jar in Lao Pu's hand curiously.

"I played with it when I was a kid and hid it here. I didn't expect it to be still there!"

Lao Pu scratched his hair in embarrassment and played with his favorite cricket jar when he was a child. He unscrewed the mouth of the jar and poured out the crickets that had already turned into corpses. He held them with his hands and turned them into ashes, just like himself. Like my youth, it drifts away in the wind.

"Students, this is the Hall of Supreme Harmony..."

At this time, a teacher who looked like a teacher outside the door led a group of primary school students wearing red scarves, pointed into the room, and introduced it loudly.

"I'll give you this. It's our first time meeting you. I don't have anything else to give you, so keep it safe!"

Looking at the group of children outside the door, Lao Pu seemed to remember his past self, and casually handed the cricket jar to Li Nan who was standing beside him.

"Nonsense, this is Prince Chun, why is his photo hanging here!"

Several people continued to visit the back, but the tour guide job was handed over from Li Feng to Lao Pu. Along the way, they kept introducing the stories of that year to several people. Passing by a palace, Lao Pu pointed at the photo and complained.

The staff on the side were sweeping the floor. They glanced at Lao Pu and felt a little out of place, so he curled his lips secretly.

"Isn't it possible? They will make mistakes?"

Li Nan, who was playing with the cricket pot, said something subconsciously.

"He is my father, how could I admit my mistake!"

Li Feng smiled and shook his head. After decades of relationship, the rumors on the Internet were true. He actually encountered it. The staff of the Forbidden City also made mistakes sometimes.

The group of people continued to visit until finally, they came to the coal mountain where Chongzhen hanged himself. Lao Pu looked at the crooked neck book and stared at it for a long time.

"It seems cruel to ask them not to be reincarnated into the emperor's family for the rest of their lives. In fact, people can't understand Chongzhen's mood at the time."

Lao Pu muttered in his mouth, and several people following him couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
