Lin Wanwan takes only two and a half hours by plane from Yongcheng to the ancient capital in modern times.
Before her journey to the Tang Dynasty began, she had already flown to the central city of the ancient capital and rented a small courtyard with Guan customs.
The consumption level in the ancient capital is much lower than that in Yucheng and Yongcheng. For the same price, Lin Wanwan can only rent an apartment in the central area in Yucheng, while in the ancient capital she can rent an apartment in Naozhongchou
It's a quiet little courtyard.
After renting the house, Lin Wanwan installed the monitoring equipment at the door and refreshed the coordinates of the space-time gate. Without even looking at it, she returned to modern times, flew back to Yucheng non-stop, and then took a leisurely ride from the Grand Canal of the Tang Dynasty.
The boat comes to the ancient capital.
It only takes two or three hours to travel in modern times, but it takes more than half a month in Datang.
This also depends on the dredging of the Grand Canal. From Hangzhou to the eastern capital Luoyang, it takes about half a month by boat.
Then take a carriage from Luoyang to Chang'an, including the rest time, it will take five or six days. If you still choose the water route, it will take two or three days if everything goes well. If it doesn't go well and encounter traffic jams and water and wind direction problems, it may take longer than taking the land route.
.
Of course, if we hurry up, cover 800 miles, and travel day and night, it will only take one day to get from Luoyang, the eastern capital, to Chang'an.
Lin Wanwan and her group's travel plan was to travel by water, which was expected to take more than half a month.
Lin Wanwan has her own boat. Why not take the waterway and leave the boat at Dongdu Pier?
On this day, the ship has arrived at Luoyang. As the middle section of the Grand Canal running from north to south, Luoyang is no less prosperous than Chang'an.
Xiao Chong turned his head to look at her, and unexpectedly gave her a peck on her pursed lips. His eyes were like an abyss, and his voice was bewitching: "Cousin, you have to be responsible for me."
There are still two villains fighting among themselves in my mind.
Xiao Chong explained calmly, not feeling embarrassed at all for his rudeness.
Seeing Lin Wanwan looking over, Xiao Chong put one hand on the window, took off his shoes and jumped in. He said casually: "My cousin's idea is really different and insightful. I admire you."
Since ancient times, wherever transportation is developed, the economy is not bad.
Lin Wanwan turned her head and looked, but it was someone other than Xiao Chong.
In the past half month, Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong were not on the same boat, and she deliberately avoided them. Even when they docked for supplies, they would not get off the boat, so they had not seen each other for half a month.
After all, who takes advantage of whom? It seems like she enjoys it too!
Lin Wanwan's mouth twitched slightly: "Cousin, I never thought you would say such a thing."
Confusing right and wrong is enough to make him understand!
"Am I responsible? Xiao Zifang! Do you know what you are talking about?" Lin Wanwan groaned angrily, forgetting to even question her about being kissed again.
She didn't even have time to think about things between men and women, her mind was filled with thoughts on how she would react when she saw Li Shimin, and how she could safely keep her secret.
Only the sound of "dong dong dong" heartbeat was lingering in my ears. I didn't know if it was hers or his.
Lin Wanwan smelled the faint fragrance coming from his body, but she didn't know what it was, and felt uneasy for a while.
It wasn't until Xiao Chong let go of her hand after writing this word and stepped away that Lin Wanwan came back to her senses and glared at Xiao Chong: "Cousin!"
This guy must have done it on purpose! He usually doesn’t smoke incense at all, but today he dressed up like a peacock and looked so handsome. The key thing is that he was wearing the same brocade robe that he saw her in at Shangyuan night, and he also smoked incense! It’s so treacherous.
!Is this a beauty trap?
While she was cursing, Xiao Chong suddenly stretched out his hand to cover her hand and taught her how to write step by step. He said with a smile: "Cousin, you need to write this horizontally and vertically in this way to be more elegant."
Xiao Chong noticed Lin Wanwan's attitude, and his expression was slightly condensed, but he quickly recovered and smiled calmly: "If my cousin wants to, I will naturally accompany you."
Are these the staid ancient people of the Tang Dynasty? Ah! They are more flirtatious than modern people!
In fact, he is not a conformist person at all. He has always been unrestrained and even deviant, otherwise he would not be unmarried.
In modern society, it is said that "if you want to be rich, build roads first", and it was the same in ancient times.
One said push him away quickly, he will take advantage of you.
Xiao Chong's expression remained unchanged and he said: "My heart has already fallen with you. Is it irresponsible for my cousin to finish flirting with you?"
Lin Wanwan didn't want to talk about this topic, so she frowned slightly and said, "Hey, let's talk about this later. All I can think about right now is how to face the Holy Spirit."
Xiao Chong suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I said that I will be responsible for what happened on Yuan Ye. Doesn't my cousin believe me? This time when I return to Chang'an, I will tell you to come and propose marriage."
Now seeing him appear directly on his boat, he was very shocked: "How come my cousin is here?"
With a "boom", the blood in Lin Wanwan's body boiled because of his sudden approach, and her face turned red. She only noticed the movement of Xiao Chong's lips and did not hear what he was saying at all.
Lin Wanwan sat on the crescent moon stool, practicing her calligraphy, and recited half a poem with sigh: "Even after the death of the Sui Dynasty, this river has been connected to the waves for thousands of miles. If there was no dragon boat incident in the Water Palace, Yu would not have much merit.
.”
Lin Wanwan looked at Xiao Chong, who was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe, with smiling eyes, like a jade tree in the wind. She really couldn't bear to scold him for retreating, so she had to smile bitterly: "Cousin, you will hurt me if you do this."
After a pause, he quickly continued: "Cousin, we are almost arriving in Luoyang. Do we want to take a rest in Luoyang?"
Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, I don't really want to. Let's go to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"What a poem!" A calm male voice suddenly sounded from the window, "Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very happy with his achievements and wasted money and people, his construction of Luoyang and the Grand Canal running from north to south with Luoyang as the center are indeed indelible achievements. My dynasty conquered the world.
In the future, we will fully enjoy the fruits of its construction, and with today's great talents and great strategies, we can expect a prosperous age."
I'm going to meet Li Shimin soon, so I don't have much time to think about sightseeing.
Xiao Chong walked to Lin Wanwan's side, sat calmly on the floor, turned his head to read what she had written, and commented a few words in a clear voice.
It was obvious that he was treating himself lightly, yet he actually had to take responsibility for himself!
"I was really bored, so I thought of my cousin's wine, so I used Qing Kung Fu to cross the boat. Please don't blame my cousin."
Listen! Listen, this is human language!
Lin Wanwan pushed Xiao Chong away, stood up and walked to the window to enjoy the river breeze. She bit her lip lightly, turned her head and said seriously: "Cousin, I haven't thought about it yet."
The expression on Xiao Chong's face did not change, he just moved slowly to her side, looked at her condescendingly and said: "Cousin, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of X's family, or are you afraid of leaving the Lin family?
So-and-so is now the magistrate of Luan County. After you and I get married, you can continue to live with so-and-so in Luan County. For at least three years, so-and-so can guarantee that your life will not change."
After saying that, he stepped forward and hugged Lin Wanwan gently, rested his head on her shoulder, and frowned: "Don't push me away."
How could someone as smart as him not notice Lin Wanwan's hesitation and retreat? But he wouldn't allow it. Even if he had to resort to Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies, he would not hesitate.
