In the evening, the curtain of the carriage walking on the official road leading to Lingjiang Province was lifted, revealing a white and tender girl's face, only to see her blinking big watery eyes, and a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the ancient provincial capital, and Lingjiang Province is equivalent to the provincial capital of the 21st century, with administrative organs such as counties and towns underneath.

Looking up, the city tower about three zhang high appeared in front of it, there were officers and soldiers on it to check the situation at any time, the city gate tower built of blue bricks and stones was thick and calm, and it played an indelible role in resisting foreign invaders for thousands of years.

This is the first time that Liu Qingxi has seen the ancient city tower with his own eyes, and compared to what he has seen and heard in modern tourist attractions, he is really in this era, and the city tower here is more magnificent.

The pedestrians coming and going compared to Linyi County, I don't know how much prosperous, more are horse-drawn carriages coming and going, even if the small traders who enter the city, compared with the county town, most of them are pushing wheelbarrows or two-wheeled flat cars, rather than shoulder-to-shoulder.

The carriage continued to move forward, Liu Qingxi was reluctant to put down the curtain for a long time, compared to the depression in Linyi County after the earthquake, the people of Lingjiang Province were not disturbed by it, and it was only when the largest earthquake occurred, they felt the tremors.

Also, compared with what I saw and heard in my previous life, such as the largest Wenchuan earthquake so far, the magnitude of Linyi County this time is obviously far inferior.

However, in previous lives, most of them were brick masonry structures or reinforced concrete, and their ability to resist earthquake damage was greatly enhanced, so the earthquake severely damaged the raw earth buildings (houses made of unbaked clay or wheat straw mixture) in rural areas.

How long has it been since you saw such a bustling scene, and how long has it been since you felt the relaxing air?

Since the earthquake, Liu Qingxi has devoted himself to the post-disaster reconstruction work, and he did not dare to slack off until the construction work was basically completed.

Thoughts gradually drifted away, and the carriage followed the large team in front of him slowly, compared to Linyi County, the inspection here is more strict, and there is no road guide or household registration is not allowed to enter at all.

Fortunately, before leaving, there was Wen's reminder, and Liu Qingxi did not fall.

The procession moved slowly, waiting for the people to enter and leave the city, either richly dressed, or plainly dressed, or anxious, or calm.

At this time, it was getting late, and the first task after they entered the city was to find an inn to stay in, and to visit Ying Lao tomorrow.

A quarter of an hour later, it was Liu Qingxi's turn, which passed the inspection smoothly, and the carriage drove into the provincial capital of Lingjiang.

At this moment, Liu Qingxi's shock cannot be described in words, if you look at the quaint atmosphere of Lingjiang Province from the outside, then from the inside, the word prosperity is not enough to describe it.

I saw that on both sides of the wide road, there were three-story and two-story buildings neatly arranged, and the buildings here were more delicate than the residential places in Bixi Town.

The big doors and windows are carved with intricate patterns, and the carvings above the gate are the four auspicious beasts, or worship the God of Wealth, and the piers on both sides are not intended to indicate the longing for life.

The flying fish, immortals, and unicorns in the upper part of the roof indicate that business is going smoothly and the family is happy and healthy.

At the entrance of the shop, most of them are carved with the God of Wealth, and the dark red of the atmosphere is matched with the texture of blue bricks, forming a beautiful landscape ink painting.

Looking at the pedestrians on the street, the sun has set at this time, and the small merchants and vendors on the street are not in a hurry to close their stalls and go home, which is the time to be very lively.

People living in the city don't have sunrise and sunset, and it's a good idea to go out for a walk and eat in the evening, and buy some gadgets by the way.

Everywhere the eye looks, the woman is dressed in brocade clothes, or Feiyun has buns, her complexion is fair, and her lotus steps are light, which is completely different from the people she usually comes into contact with.

The carriage continued on its way and stopped in front of a three-story inn.

Two guys on both sides of the door greeted him: "A few guest officers live in the hotel, right? We have upper, middle and lower third-class rooms here, I don't know how many you want?"

"Two upper rooms, two medium rooms. "The upper room Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen have one room, and the middle room has a coachman, a small servant, and two maids, one for men and one for each woman.

After dinner, Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen drove for a day, their bodies were tired, and they had no energy to continue to wander, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

On the second day, the two got up early, the weather was good, they simply ate some porridge and side dishes at the inn, packed up the local products brought by the family, and Liu Qingxi took the two maids out to visit Ying Lao.

Originally, Liu Qingxi didn't have a maid, not because he didn't have the financial ability, but because he often went out by himself, and it was inconvenient to take the maid with him.

It's just that when he went out this time, Wen specially explained: "This time I didn't go to the town, but to Lingjiang Province, and there was no shortage of people to support the façade, these two maids have followed me since I was a child, and I will send you to accompany you." ”

Liu Qingxi then stopped refusing, anyway, he often came to the Yang family, and he was more familiar with these two maids, both of whom were fourteen or fifteen years old, one **rain, and one Xia He.

"Let's go, you two come with me. ”

The two little maids slipped up and picked up the gifts, and followed behind Liu Qingxi respectfully.

The coachman had been waiting for a long time, and had already inquired about the location of Yingfu.

The carriage moved forward slowly, walking on the wide bluestone road in Lingjiang Provincial City, the sound of gurgling cars sounded, Liu Qingxi may not know what kind of benefits this participation in such a meeting will bring her in her future career.

Yingfu, in front of the vermilion door, two unicorns more than one person high stand majestically, the eaves of the inverted seat are flowing water and moire flowers, and the edge of the cyan glazed tiles is a row of red, which complements each other.

Different from the ordinary concierge setting, the Yingfu concierge has two small openings on the inverted seat, similar to the design of modern doormen, which is much more convenient, and there is no need for everyone who comes to visit to ask them to open the door and ask.

Because of the first visit, and arrived in Lingjiang Province yesterday, Liu Qingxi did not send a post in advance, and handed it after arriving: "Hello, Liu Qingxi from Bixi Town, Linyi County, came to visit Ying Lao, this is a post." ”

The porter looked down twice, the font on the big red greeting post was atmospheric, and he naturally saw that it was unusual, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment: "This girl, you wait a minute." ”

Then he walked briskly in the direction of the study, and in the past two days, he was busy preparing for the symposium, and the old man and several masters spent almost all of his time in the study.

I thought it was an ordinary post, but I took advantage of this opportunity not to be invited, intending to take a shortcut to Yingfu.

Uncle Ying put down the worship post at will: "Don't care, let's continue what we just said." ”

Ying Lao unintentionally glanced at it, and was immediately attracted by the font on the cover of the worship post, and the pen was powerful and free, not a short day's work, so he picked it up and opened it and looked at it.

I wanted to see who the person who could write such a bold character was, but he was suddenly stunned by the final payment.

"Come on, come on, who sent this post?"

Just now, the porter happened to not go far, and when he heard the call, he took three steps and turned back in two steps: "Back to the old lady, there is a fourteen or fifteen little girl at the door who sent it, saying that she came to visit you, and she just arrived today, and she didn't write a prayer post in advance." ”
