Chapter 433: Is This the County Seat?
Mobile reading
When Dong Ling heard that there were still snacks to eat in the car, he quickly nodded happily, "Thank you...... Two young grandmothers. ”
She reached out and touched the delicate mahogany table, and then slowly reached over a box.
Glancing at Ye Qing, who had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, Dong Ling carefully opened the lid of the box.
There were five kinds of candied fruits and dried fruits that she was usually reluctant to buy, Dong Ling's eyes widened, and she reached out to cover her mouth for fear that she would cry out happily.
It's really a blessing for the girl who dragged the leaves, she was able to sit in the special carriage of the "Wind and Rain Alliance" once in her life.
To be able to eat such delicious dim sum, this trip is really worth it.
After I go back, I must find a way to transfer to Qingzhu Courtyard.
On the one hand, she felt that Ye Qinghui would be a master who was easy to get along with, and on the other hand, she could naturally see Young Master Bao every day.
An hour and a half later, Ye Qing, who was sleepy-eyed, was gently pushed by Dong Ling to wake up.
She rubbed her face, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea before drinking.
I looked outside......
"This is Chong'an County?!" Ye Qing was stunned, looked outside, and showed a puzzled tone.
"Yes, this is our county, pretty." Dong Ling showed a proud expression.
"No, it won't!" Ye Qing opened his mouth wide.
This is really a county town in front of her, how is it different from what she imagined?
The city gate tower is quite spectacular, but after entering the city gate all the way unimpeded.
Ye Qing began to be disappointed, on both sides of the road in the city, there were low bungalows, and the gray cobblestone stone walls were plastered with some dull lime.
Many of the houses have roofs that are not tiled, but made of mud and planks and hay.
Behind the house are large rice fields and ponds, as well as some lotus ponds, and at a glance, Ye Qing thought that this was the kind of rural place in Xiushui Village.
The contrast between the magnificent city gate and the situation in the city just now made Ye Qing stunned, right?
Compared with the prosperity and dense shops of Chongyang Town, this place seems too desolate!
"Dongling, are you sure this is the county seat, not the village?" Ye Qing turned his head to look at Dong Ling and asked.
"Uh...... In fact, it turned out that this place was indeed a village, called Hongxing Village.
However, because this village is not far from Danxia Mountain, when the city was built, the city gate was built outside. ”
"So? Isn't the county seat here? ”
"Well, we'll have to take a carriage for more than a quarter of an hour, and we can only get to the real city after crossing the long Baishui Bridge in front of us." Dong Ling explained.
"Oh...... That's Danxia Mountain, right? Ye Qing pointed to the brown cliff facing the river in the distance and asked.
"Well, originally this place was called Dawang Mountain, because the mountains in this area are brown cliffs on three sides, like Danxia.
Therefore, three hundred years ago, it was called the land of Danxia by the ranger 'Xu Gong', and the name of Danxia Mountain spread.
Moreover, Xu Gong also called the scenery of our Chong'an 'Qixiujia southeast'. ”
Ye Qing nodded, what caught his eye here was indeed a piece of clear water and Dan Mountain, and the scenery in the distance was still very gorgeous.
There was still half an hour before noon, and the sun had already risen very high, so it was estimated that the cool air from last night's rain was still there, so it was not too hot.
The carriage picked up speed, crossed the long Whitewater Bridge, and soon reached the inner city.
At this time, the real county town of Chong'an appeared in front of Ye Qing.
Chong'an Street is a wide street named after the county seat.
This street can be said to be the widest street Ye Qing has ever seen, wider than the ten-mile long street she saw in later generations.
It looks spectacular, it is 200 meters wide and very long, and you can see no end when you look at it from the middle of a tall torii.
The whole street is paved with cobblestones and bluestone slabs, and the buildings on both sides of the street are towering and magnificent.
Chong'an Street also has many narrow bluestone lanes that lead to all parts of the city.
The carriage walked slowly through the middle of the white stone memorial arch called "Dingjiafang", which is said to have been built more than 50 years ago, when there were three Jinshi in the first class here, and the plaque inscribed by the current saint himself.
In the third year of Yongkang, a person surnamed Wu in Chong'an won the first place in the first class Jinshi (champion) in the scientific examination.
Coincidentally, the fourteenth and thirtieth first-class jinshi that year were also from Chong'an.
There were three first-place students in one subject, and there was also a champion, which was a sensation at the time.
At that time, the young emperor who had just ascended the throne for a long time appreciated the style of study in Chong'an, so he gave this archway.
The carriage walked all the way along Chong'an Street, and Ye Qing also looked at the way.
Most of the houses on both sides of the street are two-story buildings with red bricks and red tiles.
The exterior walls of many houses also have wall tile carvings, which are very beautiful, slightly different from the blue bricks and gray tiles she saw in Chong'an.
Some of the houses inside the doors are more elaborate, with magnificent stone lions at the doors, towering doors, carved beams and windows, cornices and arches, and deep corridors.
Just when Ye Qing was fascinated, there was suddenly a commotion in front of him, and he could vaguely hear the miserable cry of a woman.
"Why? Why...... You don't save my master! ”
"I don't want to save it!" The sound of a bell sounded.
"Why don't you want to save? We have no grievances with you. The heart of the doctor's parents, how can you be ruthless and not save you?! The woman shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Who told you that a healer must be saved when he sees someone?
Have you forgotten my title in the rivers and lakes!
I was just passing through here, not invited by you, and I didn't agree to go in.
Don't get in the way, what does it matter to me whether your master lives or dies? ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, yes!
How could she forget the title of the person in front of her?
"Rakshasa with no hands", the medical skills are the best in the rivers and lakes, but the word Rakshasa is not called in vain.
Heals people with one hand and kills with the other.
Moody, gentle like a female bodhisattva one moment, and then maybe turning her face ruthlessly is commonplace for her.
"Divine doctor, please! My lord, he is a good man in the Minjiang area!
Every year, we help the needy, pave roads and build bridges, and distribute food and porridge!
Who doesn't say that my lord is a good man! Can't you die without help......"
"yes...... Master Du is indeed a good man! ”
"It's a good person, the last time there was a big flood, the Du family took out 500 stones of food to help the victims!"
The crowd of onlookers also talked a lot, helping to say good things and nodding frequently.
Seeing Ye Qing poking his head out to watch curiously, Dong Ling asked the coachman to stop the carriage.
"Second young grandmother, do you want to go down and have a look?"
"No, I can see it here." Ye Qing shook his head.
