Chapter 73 learned to ride a horse

While surveying and mapping, Huiyin expressed emotion: "All the buildings in the world that can be recorded in the annals of history are the embodiment of the will to power. Apart from the imperial power, it is the divine power that best embodies the will to power. Therefore, such buildings are either palaces or temples." Sicheng replied: "Yes, all buildings are man-made, but once they stand on the ground, they have their own life. People will feel their own insignificance when standing in front of great buildings. The ancients have long I understand this truth. When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty built Weiyang Palace, Xiao He said: "The emperor regards the four seas as his home, and there is no majesty without magnificence." Are we offending the majesty of the emperor today?"

Huiyin smiled.The assistants who worked together took pictures of them at that time.Huiyin smiled and stood with Sicheng. She was wearing a long cheongsam and holding a small bamboo hat.This attire seemed to be very inconvenient for climbing, but she climbed up to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests just like this.In the centuries-old history of the Hall of Prayer for Harvests, she was the first woman to climb up. This photo was taken in bright light, the sun was blindingly bright, and the exposure time was a bit longer, so the contrast in the photo is strong.It seems that Huiyin's eyebrows, eyes, and hair are extremely black, and his forehead and cheeks are extremely white.

In the courtyard of the Liang family at No. 3 Beizongbu Hutong, these days are strangely dull.Huiyin's half-brother Lin Heng came to Beijing from Fujian and lived with his sister, preparing to apply for the Mechanical Engineering Department of Tsinghua University. Huiyin loves this younger brother who lost his father very much, but Huiyin's mother does not want to see this handsome and quiet boy.When Huiyin returned home, seeing his mother's depressed and weak appearance and his younger brother's preoccupied situation, he immediately understood what was going on. Huiyin especially can't bear the hostility between relatives, which reminds her of her tears and pain when she was a child.Now, facing the two relatives who are resentful every day, Huiyin feels extremely uncomfortable.For her mother, she wanted to comfort her in every possible way to eliminate her dissatisfaction with Lin Heng; for her younger brother, she wanted to comfort her, recalling her father with him, recalling childhood events, and helping him deal with all kinds of entanglements in life.She also asked Sicheng to take her younger brother to consult about applying for Tsinghua University, so that he could live here with peace of mind as much as possible.

However, when Huiyin faces himself alone, boundless sorrow will come to his heart.She confided to Fei Weimei: "...it made me exhausted and deeply hurt, and when I was about to go to bed, I really wanted to die or I had never been born into such a family... I knew that I was actually a happy and lucky person man, but I have been so permanently scarred by an early family war that any remnant of it would bring me back to my past doom." The troubles of family affairs come second. What makes Huiyin and Sicheng even more uneasy is that after the "September 18th" Incident, the Northeast fell to the enemy and North China was at stake. Seeing this ominous premonition, the gentle and elegant Sicheng often couldn't restrain his anger and threw the newspaper into the stove.Sicheng and Huiyin have a consensus that they must complete the field investigation in North China before the great destruction comes.They have a vague feeling that there may not be much time left to complete this work.

In the autumn of 1935, Fei Zhengqing and Fei Weimei were about to return to China, and the moment of reunion was very precious when they parted soon.They often invite Lin Huiyin to ride a horse in the suburbs and have a picnic out of the city.Huiyin had never ridden a horse before, she only rode a donkey when she was recuperating in Xiangshan.Guided by Fei Zhengqing and Fei Weimei, she quickly mastered the essentials of horse riding and fell in love with the sport.In order to ride a horse, she specially bought a pair of riding boots, a set of warm underwear and a comfortable leather hat. The ruins of the Old Summer Palace in the west city and the Yuan Dynasty city wall in the north city are empty and lonely. In those autumn afternoons, they galloped on the horses, chasing the sunset.The fresh air and fresh exercise made Huiyin's cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling, and she looked great!
