Volume 1 Chapter 87 A Thousand Miles in a Day
Quanzhou Mansion, known as Wurong Prefecture in ancient times, was placed in the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of the state governance is located in Nan'an, the Tang Dynasty Zhenyuan period only moved the governance to the current location of the capital city, Quanzhou Mansion City has gone through the Tang Dynasty, five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, seven or eight hundred years of expansion, has gradually become the largest port city in the southeast.
Famous travelers in history have been to Quanzhou during the Yuan Dynasty, and called Quanzhou Port the world's largest port at that time, and its scale can be seen.
In the Ming Dynasty, because of the development of foreign trade, the capital city of Quanzhou became extremely prosperous.
At this time, there are more than 40 large and small streets, eight large and small rivers, and more than 100 bridges in Quanzhou City, and its prosperity far exceeds the so-called "water city" Venice.
As soon as Lu Linger entered the city, she was attracted by the unique beauty of the water town in the city, she had never seen such a beautiful scenery when she was so big.
Don't look at her running far this time, she ran directly from the capital to Quanzhou, in fact, her range of activities from childhood to adulthood is not large.
Before the age of six, she stayed in Luzhou, Huguang'an, accompanying her brother Lu Bing and her grandmother Jiajing to play in Xingxian Palace; After the age of six, Jiajing ascended the throne, she followed her parents to the capital, either to stay in the Lu Mansion, or in the palace, this time in Quanzhou is the first time she came out of the "cage".
Although the capital is large, it is a typical northern city, there are no rivers at all, Anlu Prefecture is densely packed with rivers, the problem is that the city is small, and there are not so many rivers passing through the city, let alone the cruise ships.
She also grew up in the water town, the beautiful scenery of Quanzhou City is in line with her appetite, she has a lot of fun this time, under the leadership of Yang Cong, she enjoys the beautiful scenery along the way, shopping all the way, what silk satin, rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, as long as she sees it, Yang Cong does not hesitate to order someone to pack, and he doesn't need to care about the payment at all, Yang Cong just waved his hand, naturally someone ran to pay.
Women like to "buy, buy, buy", whether it is useful or not, buy first and then say, and ordinary women can't buy as they want, because few people have so much money to buy things.
Although Lu Ling'er has a noble status, he actually doesn't have much money, Jiajing has nothing to say to the Lu family, what mansions, fields, slaves, that's a powerful gift, the problem involves money, Jiajing is also wilted, Jiajing has no money, in history he still has to rely on a big corrupt official like Yan Song to make money.
The same is true for the Lu family, if you want to talk about food and housing, you don't have to worry about it, if you want to talk about money, before Lu Bing took the throne, his family didn't have much money left, and even less could go to Lu Ling'er, she brought a few hundred taels of silver when she came out this time, anyway, the post stations along the way will treat her as an ancestor, she doesn't have to spend a penny at all, her parents and Jiajing are not worried that she will be wronged on the road, and when she buys something, she is a little dwarfed.
Yang Cong's generosity really scared her, although the price is not high these days, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache and anything are not cheap, and Yang Cong recommended her basically the most expensive, dozens of taels of silver at every turn.
For example, pearl powder, she naturally knows this thing, the legend is that it can beautify and nourish the skin, prolong life, clear the liver and eyes, Jiajing has also rewarded some to her, but every time it is just a small bottle, it is gone before she notices any effect, and Yang Cong gives it to her, it is all about catties, dozens of taels and one catty, and a few catties when you buy it!
Some people say that when a man pays a woman, he is the most handsome, Lu Linger didn't know this sentence, but Yang Cong's gesture of waving his hand to make people give silver did feel very manly when she looked at it.
No matter how expensive things are, no matter how much silver, waving your hand is giving silver, this kind of man is indeed very attractive to women.
Of course, Yang Cong didn't just buy things for Lu Ling'er, he had a careful plan along the way.
When Lu Linger was tired of walking, he would take people to the teahouse to drink tea and rest.
When Lu Linger is hungry, he will take people to the best restaurants to taste special food.
If Lu Ling'er wants to take a boat, he will let people rent the best painting boat.
In short, on this day, Lu Linger had a lot of fun, she didn't have to care about anything, just "buy, buy, buy", and took tea, rest, dinner, and entertainment on the way.
This day has passed, for a woman, what more can a husband ask for, under Yang Cong's meticulous care, she feels that this day is like living in a dream.
Slowly, the relationship between them became closer and closer.
I don't know when it started, Yang Cong's name for her has become "Ling'er", and she originally wanted to call Yang Cong "Brother Cong", because she has been accompanied by another "Brother Xi" since she was a child, and she is used to it.
Yang Congke was taken aback by her title, Nima, this is going to be heard by the emperor, and he has to be killed.
I didn't dare to call this name that, at his insistence, Lu Linger finally changed his mouth and called him Qingfeng like other acquaintances.
This day passed like this, and the relationship between the two was a long way, and in the evening, Lu Linger actually followed Yang Cong into a courtyard.
Of course, living in the same courtyard is not living together, Yang Cong rents a three-entry courtyard, guards live in the front yard, he lives in the middle with Yu Dayou and others, and Lu Linger lives in the backyard.
This is actually also from Yang Cong's arrangement, he deliberately took Lu Linger to buy everywhere, and when it was almost dusk, he took Lu Linger to the best restaurant in Quanzhou for a big meal, and when he was full of food and drink, it was also dark, so it was not good to rush back, so he could only find a place to live.
However, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to get along with Lu Linger more and try to enhance the relationship between the two.
Early the next morning, when the time came, he invited Lu Linger to go to Qingyuan Mountain to play, Lu Linger is also a fun-loving and active age, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
This Qingyuan Mountain has been a place for literati and ink writers to linger since ancient times, and its scenery is naturally speechless, Lu Linger followed Yang Cong in Laojun Rock, Thousand Hand Rock, Mida Rock, Bixiao Rock, Qingyuan Cave and other places for a morning, and I still feel that it is not enjoyable, and I want to play for a few more days.
It's a pity that Yang Cong doesn't have so much time, and he still has to go to Tong'an to receive the silver.
He could only take Lu Ling'er, who was still unsatisfied, down the mountain, and after having lunch in Wangjiang Tower, he took him to the last stop of the trip, Wenlin Academy.
The reason why he took Lu Ling'er to Wenlin Academy was mainly because he heard Lu Ling'er say that her cousin Li Xiu'er was more interested in calligraphy and painting, and besides, he had promised to take Lu Ling'er to see Li Du, an "interesting person", and these two factors combined to make him decide to go to Wenlin Academy before returning to the Yongning Acropolis.
Lu Ling'er was really shocked when she saw Li Du's calligraphy works, but she put forward a rather absurd idea, that is, to write a few Li Qingzhao's poems in Tang Bohu's characters, because her cousin loved Tang Bohu's characters and Li Qingzhao's poems.
This guy stumped Li Du, because he had never seen Tang Bohu write Li Qingzhao's poems, and he had never seen all kinds of rubbings of Tang Bohu's calligraphy collections.
However, under Yang Cong's repeated pleas, he still tried his best to write a few paintings.
In the end, Lu Linger was finally satisfied and got a few Li Qingzhao poems in Tang Bohu's "handwriting", thinking that she could show off in front of her cousin Li Xiuer, not to mention how beautiful she was.
