Chapter 73
The Ling family’s steward had already led the men to wait at the pier for a few days
After the Ling family’s ship docked at the pier, the steward immediately led the strong and sturdy boys on board to greet them, and then busily carried the luggage to the carriages
There were many official ships coming and going on the pier, and the Ling family’s official ship did not stand out among them
Having learned from the previous experience, when disembarking this time, Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan Jiang wore curtains and hats, with maids and maids-in-law in front and behind them, and a layer of tall and sturdy guards on the outside
Even if you get close, it is difficult to see the female family members, let alone their faces
After getting on the carriage without a fuss, the crowd secretly breathed a sigh of relief in unison
A few carriages slowly departed and waited honestly in line outside Ding Ding to enter the city
There were simply too many people lining up to enter the city, and it was not unusual to wait for an hour or two
Once there were more people, there were naturally more people talking
It would not be too much of a stretch to describe it as a roaring crowd
Ling Xiao had never experienced such a bustling hustle and bustle before, and his voice was filled with excitement: ”Ah Shu, there are so many people outside the city gates
I even heard the sound of vendors hawking snacks!”
Without waiting for Ling Jingshu to say anything, Ling Jingyan grabbed her hand and smiled, “There are so many people today, I don’t know how long it will take to enter the city gates
It just so happens that I’m also hungry, so why don’t I send someone to buy some food to pass the time”
Sun smiled and gave Ling Jingyan a blank look, “Those things outside, I don’t even know if they’re clean or not, what’s so delicious
I think you’re just having a craving!”
She criticized, but immediately sent a granny to buy snacks
Ling Jingyan proudly raised an eyebrow at Ling Jingshu
Ling Jingshu revealed a heartfelt smile
At the beginning, she deliberately approached Ling Jingyan with an ulterior motive
She actually didn’t have much goodwill towards Ling Jingyan herself
These days, she had gotten along with Ling Jingyan
She and Ling Jingyan had become more familiar with each other, and she was also familiar with Ling Jingyan’s nature
Ling Jingyan was indeed a bit spoiled and capricious, but other than that, she didn’t have any shortcomings
But there are no shortcomings
She has a lively nature, is cute and innocent, and has no heart, which makes it easy for people to feel good about her
The mother-in-law’s movements are nimble, and soon bought a few large packages of snacks to
Ice candy gourd sweet and sour, very appetizing
Mung bean cake or just out of the pot, sweet sticky hot
There were also the sweet and sticky hot cinnamon chestnuts that were fried and fragrant
Of course, these are not as delicate as the pastries made by the cooks
What we eat is fresh and hot
Ling Jingyan’s favorite was the ice candy gourd, and Jiang was eating the mung bean cake
Ling Jingshu carefully peeled the osmanthus chestnuts and stuffed the round, hot chestnuts into Ling Xiao’s mouth
Ling Xiao takes a bite
As he eats, he boasts, ”It’s really delicious!
Ah Shu, don’t just peel them for me, you eat them too”
Ling Jingshu saw Ling Xiao eating happily and felt happy in her heart too
She peeled one and put it in her mouth, “The flavor is really good”
The juniors are eating lively
Sun, the elder, was initially holding her position and refused to do anything
Unable to resist the temptation of the various aromas, she also tried to eat a mouthful of mung bean cake, and then, while eating it, criticized it unenthusiastically, “This mung bean cake is made from ordinary ingredients, and it’s not delicate enough, and it’s a bit too sweet
It’s far worse than the one made by the cooks in our mansion” Criticizing vigorously, he also ate quite vigorously
In a moment, he ate three pieces!
Ling Jingyan nonchalantly exposed Sun, “Mother, you don’t think it’s good
Why are you still eating so much!”
Sun: “” The crowd each twisted their heads and snickered
Sun glared at Ling Jingyan: “I wasn’t worried that you guys ate too much and spoiled your stomachs
That’s why I reluctantly ate some for you guys”
The crowd couldn’t help but puff and laugh
The sound of cheerful jokes and laughter reached the outside of the carriage
Those hawkers with sensitive ears who were selling food everywhere immediately gathered around
Sun didn’t stop them this time, and said generously, “Buy some more, and let all the maids and mothers-in-law share some”
The maids were overjoyed
Eating snacks, laughing and joking, the waiting time was not that difficult
An hour later, the Ling family’s carriage entered the city gates
Ling Jingshu also finally saw what the Heavenly Street Ling Jingyan talked about looked like
The streets were all paved with the strongest green bricks, spacious and clean
Both sides of the street were lined with liquor stores and merchants, with endless traffic and pedestrians bustling about
Under the bright sunlight, it looked vibrant
Dingzhou City is also considered prosperous, but compared with the Kyoto Luoyang is far from it
It was probably the difference between a country village girl and a stunning beauty
Ling Jingshu slightly lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain and secretly marveled in her heart
Ling Jingyan looked at the look on Ling Jingshu’s face and felt a sense of pride in being a member of the capital city, ”Ah Shu, this is just an outer city, it’s not much
When you enter the main gate of the Imperial City, that’s the inner city of Luoyang
That’s where the real prosperity and bustle is”
Returning to Luoyang City, Sun’s mood was also excellent, and with a smile, she said, “Ah Shu, Ah Xiao, you two have never been to the capital before, and you don’t know the difference between the Inner City and the Outer Kuo City, right?
I have nothing to do, I will say to you siblings to listen on a listen” In fact, these Ling Jingyan has already said more than once
However, Sun was willing to personally open her mouth to say, Ling Jingshu naturally could not spoil Sun’s interest, and was busy making a show of listening quietly
Sun had lived in the capital for more than ten years, and spoke of the situation in Luoyang in a clear and organized manner, as if she were counting her family’s treasures, and she was better than Ling Jingshu: “There are a total of one hundred and nine workshops in Luoyang”The inner city only has twenty-eight workshops and the northern city
In the outer city, there are eighty-one workshops and the West City and South City
The West Market is slightly smaller, and the South Market takes up the area of two workshops and is the largest commercial area in Luoyang City
The North City is located in the Inner City, not as large as the South City, yet it is also the most famous place to go in Luoyang City”Those who are qualified to live in the inner city are either rich or noble
Ordinary people, most of them live in the outer city”In the inner city, the closer to the palace, the better the location
For example, Daozhengfang Qinghuafang Daoguangfang is mostly the residence of princes and princesses, or the residence of princes and kings
The second some, such as the return to the Square Jingxing Square, etc, most of the honored residence and the six departments of the residence of the officials
Once again, it’s the residences of ordinary officials”Our Ling family’s mansion is in Yude Square
It’s not the best location, however, it’s near the northern city, and it’s not very far from the palace,” Ling Jingshu nodded her head in understanding
Simply put, the closer to the palace, the more expensive the location, ordinary officials are not qualified to live
The official position of Mr Ling is not high or low, and living in Yude Fang, which is quite close to the northern part of the city, is already considered quite good
It’s no wonder that Mr Ling wants to go up the ladder
The word “power” is the most attractive thing in the world
Lu’s family broke up her and Lu Hong in their previous life, climbing the dragon and the phoenix, but also for the sake of power
