Chapter Seventy-Three: Luoyang (2)
The steward of the Ling family had been leading people to wait at the dock for a few days.
After the Ling family's official ship docked at the dock, the steward immediately led the able-bodied servants onto the boat to say goodbye, and then busily carried the luggage to the carriage.
There are quite a lot of official ships coming and going on the dock, and the official ships of the Ling family are not eye-catching among them.
With the experience of the previous car, when disembarking this time, Ling Jingshu Ling Jingyan Jiang was wearing a hat, and there were maids and wives in front and behind, and there were tall and strong guards on the outside. Even if you get closer, it is difficult to see the figure of the female dependent, let alone the face.
After getting into the carriage calmly, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Several carriages set off slowly, waiting in line outside Dingding to enter the city.
There are so many people in line to enter the city that it's not uncommon to wait an hour or two. When there are more people, there will be more people to speak. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as full of voices.
Ling Xiao He had experienced such a lively and noisy scene, and his voice was full of excitement: "Ashu, there are many people outside the city gate. I can also hear the sound of vendors selling snacks! ”
Without waiting for Ling Jingshu to speak, Ling Jingyan hurriedly smiled and said, "There are so many people today, I don't know how long it will take to enter the city gate." It just so happens that I'm hungry too, so I might as well send someone to buy some food to pass the time. ”
Sun smiled and glanced at Ling Jingyan: "Those things outside, I don't know if they are clean or not, what is delicious." I think you're a glutton! ”
counted and counted, but immediately sent his mother-in-law to buy snacks.
Ling Jingyan proudly raised her eyebrows at Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu smiled knowingly.
At the beginning, he deliberately approached Ling Jingyan with ulterior motives. She actually doesn't have much affection for Ling Jingyan herself. After getting along these days, she and Ling Jingyan have become more and more familiar with each other, and they have become familiar with Ling Jingyan's temperament.
Ling Jingyan is indeed a little pampered and willful, other than that. But there are no drawbacks. Lively, cute and cute, no scheming, it is easy for people to have a good impression
The mother-in-law moved numbly, and soon bought a few large bags of snacks.
The rock sugar gourd is sweet and sour, very appetizing. The mung bean cake is still fresh out of the pot, sweet and glutinous and hot. There are also fragrant and hot osmanthus chestnuts that are fried.
These are certainly not as elaborate as the pastries made by the chefs. Eat fresh and hot.
Ling Jingyan likes to eat rock sugar gourds the most. Jiang eats mung bean cake. Ling Jingshu carefully peeled the osmanthus chestnuts and stuffed the round and hot chestnuts into Ling Xiao's mouth.
Ling Xiao took a bite and praised while eating: "It's delicious!" Auntie. Don't just peel it for me to eat, you can eat it too. ”
Ling Jingshu saw that Ling Xiao was happy to eat, and she also felt happy in her heart, so she peeled one off and put it in her mouth: "It tastes really good." ”
The juniors eat lively. The elder of the Sun family was still holding the shelf at the beginning and refused to do anything. I can't resist the temptation of a variety of aromas. I also tried to eat a bite of mung bean cake, and then, while eating, I criticized disappreciatively: "This mung bean cake is made of ordinary ingredients, and it is not delicate enough." It's a little too sweet again. Far worse than the cooks in our house."
The criticism is energetic, and the food is also quite energetic, and I ate three pieces in a while!
Ling Jingyan unceremoniously debunked the Sun family: "Mother." You don't like it, why do you eat so much! ”
Sun: ""
Everyone turned their heads and snickered.
Sun glared at Ling Jingyan, "I'm not worried that you're eating too much. Eat bad stomach. That's why I barely ate some for you. ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The sound of cheerful laughter reached the outside of the carriage.
The hawkers who had quick ears and were selling food everywhere immediately gathered around them.
Sun didn't stop this time, and said generously: "Buy more, and let all the maids and women share some of it." The maids and ladies were overjoyed.
Eating snacks, talking and laughing, the waiting time is not too difficult
An hour later, the Ling family's carriage entered the city gate.
Ling Jingshu finally saw what the Heavenly Street looked like in Ling Jingyan's mouth.
The streets are all paved with the strongest green bricks, spacious and clean. The streets are lined with liquor shops and shops, with endless traffic and pedestrians. Under the bright sunshine, it looks vibrant.
Dingzhou City is also prosperous, but it is far worse than Luoyang, Kyoto.
It's probably the difference between a country woman and a stunning beauty.
Ling Jingshu lifted the corner of the bamboo curtain slightly, and secretly marveled in her heart.
Ling Jingyan looked at the look on Ling Jingshu's face, and suddenly felt a sense of pride as a person from the capital: "Ashu, this is just Waiguo City, it's nothing. When you enter the main gate of the imperial city, that is the inner city of Luoyang. That's where the real bustle is and where it's all about hustle ”
Back in Luoyang City, Sun's mood was also very good, and he said with a smile: "Ah Shu Axiao, you two have never been to the capital, and you don't know the difference between the inner city and the outer Guo City!" I'm just idle, so I'll tell you brothers and sisters."
In fact, these Ling Jingyan have said more than once a long time ago.
However, Sun Shi Ken personally opened his mouth and said that Ling Jingshu naturally couldn't sweep away Sun Shi's interest, and was busy listening quietly.
The Sun family has lived in the capital for more than ten years, and when it comes to the situation in Luoyang City, it is clear and organized, such as a number of family treasures, which is better than Ling Jingyan:
"There are a total of one hundred and nine squares in Luoyang."
"There are only twenty-eight squares and the North City in the inner city. Waiguo City has eighty-one squares and the West City South City. The West Market is slightly smaller, and the South Market occupies an area of two squares, and it is also the largest commercial area in Luoyang City. The North City is located in the inner city, which is not as large as the South City, but it is also the most famous place in Luoyang City. ”
"Those who are qualified to live in the inner city are either rich or expensive. Most of the ordinary people live in Waiguo City. ”
"In the inner city, the closer you are to the palace, the better. For example, Daozheng Fang, Qinghua Fang, Daoguang Fang, are mostly the prince's mansion, the princess's mansion, or the residence of the prince and the prince. The second, such as Guiyi Fang Jing Xing Fang, etc., are mostly the residences of the nobles and the officials of the six departments. Again, it's the dwellings of ordinary officials. ”
"Our Ling family's house is in Yude Fang. Not the best location, though, it's near the North City and not too far from the palace"
Ling Jingshu nodded abruptly.
To put it simply, the closer to the palace, the more expensive the location, and ordinary officials are not qualified to live.
Uncle Ling's official position is neither high nor low, and he lives in Yudefang, which is quite close to Beishi, which is already quite good.
It's no wonder that Uncle Ling sharpened his head and wanted to drill up the camp.
The word power is the most alluring thing in the world. The Lu family broke up her and Lu Hong in their previous life, and climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, which was nothing more than for power
