The day after Lin Wanwan left, every family received her farewell letter. Although most people were a little surprised that she left so suddenly, they didn't think much about it.
Only Li Lizhi and a few others who had a close relationship with Lin Wanwan were depressed, and were a little resentful of Lin Wanwan's leaving without saying goodbye.
Xiao Li Zhi also asked Li Lizhi when he would take him out of the palace to play in Lin Le'an's manor, but he learned that the owner of the manor had left Chang'an.
Thinking of Xiao Qingyu who didn't say goodbye to him, she burst into tears. She had obviously promised to play glazed checkers together next time!
He has already worked out his tactics and is just waiting to win against Xiao Qingyu the next time they meet! Why did she suddenly leave!
Changsun got the news from Li Lizhi that Lin Wanwan had left Chang'an, and they both laughed when they mentioned it to Li Shimin.
Lin Lean's departure felt quite impatient.
Everyone in this world yearns for Chang'an. Many people in wild places regard Chang'an as a paradise on earth, a pure and natural Chang'an blow.
There are many small royal families who come to Chang'an to worship, and even cannot leave once they arrive, wishing they could regard themselves as Chang'an natives.
There is only Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong, a heterogeneous unmarried couple. Both of them want to leave Chang'an, and they are not aware of their blessings.
Of course Lin Wanwan didn't care what the people of Chang'an thought. After two days of non-stop trekking, Lin Wanwan's motorcade finally arrived at the bustling city of Luoyang.
From Luoyang City to Luang County, you can transfer to the waterway via the Grand Canal.
Before returning to Luan County, Lin Wanwan had to go to Qiantang first.
The wedding dates of Xiao Xianghua sisters are coming soon, and Lin Wanwan is going to marry them. It will take more than half a month to get from Luoyang to Qiantang, and Xiao Xianghua's wedding date will not be far away by then.
Xiao Xianghua was going to marry in Luan County, and Lin Wanwan just happened to be getting married and returning home at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Luoyang City could only be regarded as a companion capital during Li Shimin's period. In the second year of Xianqing, Li Zhi decided to move the capital to Luoyang and rename it the Eastern Capital. Later, Wu Fu also regarded Luoyang as the capital and renamed it the Divine Capital.
Luoyang, like Chang'an, is a famous city in the history of the Tang Dynasty and is coveted by ordinary people all over the world.
Lin Wanwan led everyone into the largest restaurant in Luoyang City. Several people who had rushed over early had arranged everything for her. All she had to do was check in.
The domestic servants were responsible for moving the goods onto the ship, so Lin Wanwan took Xiao Qingyu and Xiao Yixun for a stroll in Luoyang City.
After leaving this time, I don’t know when I will come back next time. It’s very convenient for Lin Wanwan to travel around by herself, but it’s not so convenient for Xiao Qingyu.
Datang doesn't let you wander around. Every step you take requires a joint examination or pass. There is also a time limit, which is very troublesome.
Taking advantage of the opportunity now, Lin Wanwan naturally wanted to take Xiao Qingyu to see more of this city, which was the future Eastern Capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Guang worked hard for people and money to dredge the Grand Canal and built the prosperous Luoyang City, which now benefited Li Tang and became the cornerstone of the prosperous Li Tang Dynasty.
Yang Guang suffered both infamy and bitter consequences, while the descendants of Li and Tang Dynasties enjoyed the fruits of his construction.
Luoyang's geographical location is actually better than Chang'an. It is located in the Central Plains and connected to the four directions. A grand canal runs from north to south. Merchants traveling from south to north gather here, making it the de facto economic center and military fortress of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi completed the great achievement of expanding the country to 13 million square kilometers here, and Wu Fu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor here.
Li Longji summed up Luoyang as "the beginning of the emperor's career, Weihan was the place of golden soup; the world was settled, and Heluo was the home of unity."
Lin Wanwan held Xiao Qingyu in her left hand and Xiao Yixun in her right hand. They walked along the street wearing a power fence and arrived in Luoshui.
They were surrounded by many maids and servants in front of and behind them, like stars looming over the moon, preventing anyone from rushing towards them.
Finally, the three of them came to a busy teahouse, entered the private room, ordered all the signature snacks in the teahouse, filled the table, and ate as much as they wanted.
With so much food, Lin Wanwan and the three of them certainly couldn't eat it all.
They have a child here with a small stomach, so Lin Wanwan can eat a little more.
So Lin Wanwan invited the maids and servants to come over and eat together.
The concept of superiority and inferiority has always been very weak in Lin Wanwan.
But because her maids now include many old maids from the palace, the deep-rooted class rules have long been deeply ingrained into their souls.
The kindness of the master is the master's business. Those who are slaves and maids must know their own limits and cannot overstep.
Therefore, no one dared to sit around the table and have snacks with the master. It was a blessing to be able to take the plate and step aside to enjoy the meal.
"Mom, this place is as lively as Chang'an." Xiao Qingyu ate the cakes in small bites.
She was taught by Cui Ying as her nanny, and Lin Wanwan only knew how to make peace with her, and didn't care about Cui Ying's punishments. So now her every move is much more regulated, she no longer looks like a wild girl from the country, and has such a trace of nobility.
Girlishness.
Of the three people sitting on this mat, Lin Wanwan was the most exhausted. Compared to the two natives of the Tang Dynasty, the eating, drinking, and sitting skills were much worse.
Lin Wanwan is comfortable no matter how comfortable she is. As for Xiao Qingyu and Xiao Yixun, one is going through the most stringent basic stage of developing etiquette, and will be reminded whenever he relaxes; the other has already carved etiquette postures into his bones and blood, and has become a habit.
Naturally, she couldn't do it even if she was asked to hunched over or cross her legs.
Lin Wanwan lazily stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, looking at the fat faces of two babies, one big and one small, sitting upright, feeling happy.
This is what the world calls beautiful and delicious! Although the rules of the Tang Dynasty are tiring, it is really pleasing to the eye when you learn them. It is simply walking Chinese aesthetics!
Lin Wanwan took the two of them shopping and eating in Luoyang city until nightfall.
After resting for two days in Luoyang City, the group changed boats and set off.
In addition to Lin Wanwan's own luxury cruise ship, three other boats were rented, carrying Lin Wanwan's armed troops, and a boatload of fine horses from the Western Regions bought from Chang'an West Market.
In comparison, the size of the fleet returning this time was smaller.
But Lin Wanwan's sense of security has not diminished, because when she came here, she relied on Xiao Chong for security, but now she has replaced it with the armed troops she recruited herself!
Moreover, she also carried a loaded pistol with her!
What gangsters in this world can scare her? Unless the army comes to attack, she has nothing to fear.
Humph, if some blind water bandits come over, she will kill them to eliminate harm to the people!
As the saying goes, good things don't work and bad things work.
You should not make unlucky assumptions when you are away from home. Lin Wanwan and her team have been targeted by interested people since they spent money shopping and eating in Luoyang.
When it was discovered that the masters in their team were only three women and children, it would be strange not to take action.
On the third day of the boat trip, Lin Wanwan's fleet ran into water bandits on the river!
