Chapter 264: On the Way Home (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
At the time of the release, the setting sun paved the streets of Chang'an with a layer of gold. One after another, people walked out of the gate of the Hanlin Temple, stepping on the gold on the blue bricks, leaving a long figure.
Lin Haoran obeyed the agreement, and left the Hanlin Academy with the tiger girl when he arrived at You. It's just that he slightly changed the route home today, and led the tiger girl to the west first, to the square outside the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City is undoubtedly the most spectacular view in Beijing.
It's just a pity that you can visit it for a few dozen dollars in later generations. In this era, it is simply difficult for ordinary people to visit the Forbidden City.
Although she only glanced at the Forbidden City outside the square, she still made the tiger girl's mouth open slightly, and her beautiful big eyes expanded slightly, and she was shocked by the majestic city gate.
In fact, after coming to the capital, many buildings are challenging her ability to think. If there is anything more magnificent than what you see in front of you, it can only be the bright top of the Kunlun Mountain in my brother's story.
Lin Haoran recalled all the things about the ceremony that day, and told Hu Niu in detail, describing the situation in the Forbidden City. didn't hide anything, together with most of the three major halls inside being burned down, he also told Hu Niu.
"Burned? Then build it again! Tiger Niu said as a matter of course.
"It's not that easy, this palace is no better than the house at home. Some of the timber for the beams and pillars had to be found in the deep mountains and old forests such as Jiangxi and Huguang, and then cut down by migrant workers and transported to the capital! Lin Haoran shook his head with a wry smile and explained seriously.
"Why did you run so far? And you have to look for it in the deep mountains and old forests, what if you are bitten by a tiger? Hu Niu frowned and looked at Lin Haoran in confusion.
"Because the pine and poplar here in the north are not suitable for palace beams and columns, and the suitable beams and pillars are grown in the deep mountains and old forests in the south, and even Jiaozhi is used to find high-quality golden silk nanmu, which is very particular!" Lin Haoran followed the tiger girl and took her hand and left the square of the Forbidden City.
"Oops! It turns out that building a palace is so troublesome? Then don't build a palace, and it's not impossible to build a small house! Tiger Girl frowned deeply and let out a small grumble.
Lin Haoran glanced at her, with this girl's temperament, she is definitely not the material to be an official.
Why Yan Song and Xu Jie were able to ascend to the throne, not everything was based on the emperor first, knowing that the saint liked the smell of ambergris, he asked the governors of Guangdong, Fujian and other places to purchase it with a lot of money.
The reason why the construction of the three major halls has not started now is that on the one hand, financial problems are delayed; On the other hand, the Holy One lives in the West Garden, so the construction of the three major halls is not so urgent, and the Holy One doesn't even care about it.
It's just that this palace will inevitably be rebuilt, and the best wood will be found from the south, which is undoubtedly a huge expense of the Ming Dynasty's finances. I have to say that the finances of the Ming Dynasty are really worrying, Jiangsu and Zhejiang want money to fight against the Japanese, and the Zongfan Lumi needs money, and now they need more money to repair the palace.
The tiger girl quickly forgot the previous unpleasantness, and obediently held Lin Haoran's hand, and looked around with those big bright eyes, feeling the prosperity of the capital.
Although the streets here are not much different from those in Guangzhou City, the green brick streets here are more neat, the shops on both sides are more expensive, and some of the stalls are more complete.
Especially the people here are dressed very beautifully, and there is a sister who is dressed like a fairy, and the ornaments on her head are shining gold, so she must have a lot of silver.
Lin Haoran had already taken leave, so he said to Hu Niu: "I'll take you to the Drum Tower tomorrow, and then we'll go shopping again!" ”
"Okay!" When the tiger girl heard this, she nodded heavily with an excited face.
Lin Haoran looked at the happy appearance of the tiger girl, and her heart was like eating honey.
Suddenly, he felt that it was not bad to have qualifications in the Qingshui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy, he would read books at work, and he would accompany this girl to hang out after work, and his life would be leisurely.
Hu Niu's eyes fell on a stall with bottles and cans, and suddenly stood still, and grabbed Lin Haoran. Lin Haoran thought that she had a fancy for something good and was ready to pay for it for her.
But the tiger girl made him squat down like a thief, whispered something in his ear, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place in the stall. Lin Haoran followed her finger and found a beautiful wooden box in those bottles and cans.
"This lord, this is the soap of the Francophile man, it is ten times better than our horn soap, and there will be a fragrance after cleaning, do you want to have a piece?" The stall owner was a clever man, and immediately looked at the two siblings and said.
Lin Haoran also didn't expect that the soap produced by his family had already been sold in the capital, and it was sold near the Hanlin Academy.
"How do you sell it?" Hu Niu looked very happy in her heart, raised her face and asked.
The stall owner looked at Lin Haoran's clothes and said with a flattering smile: "I definitely want to sell three taels for ordinary people, but if you really want to buy it, just give two taels or six dollars!" ”
Hu Niu frowned, and according to her usual style, she immediately counteroffered: "My brother is not an ordinary adult, he is the editor of the Hanlin Academy!" ”
"Hanlin Revision?" The stall owner was startled at first, how could he not know the other meaning of this official position, and then looked up at Lin Haoran, isn't this the champion of Yumakwa Street that day?
Hu Niu made a final decision, and then bargained: "If you give it cheaper, my soap will be bought from you in the future!" ”
"Okay...... Cheap! How much do you think is appropriate! The stall owner was still in a daze, looking at Lin Haoran with a flattering face, as if he was waiting for him to make a deal.
Hu Niu looked up at the stall owner, frowned slightly, and felt that it was really not easy to transport this soap from Gaozhou Mansion to Jingshi, so she thought for a moment and said, "Two or five dollars!" ”
"Huh?" The stall owner was stunned again, looking at the tiger girl suspiciously.
Hu Niu thought that he refused to sell, so she immediately used her killer weapon and said: "Don't sell it, brother, let's go!" ”
"Sell! Sell! The stall owner said loudly again and again.
Soon, the money was cleared, and both parties were happy.
Hu Niu was happy to "pick up a bargain", and the stall owner felt that the transaction was not a loss, especially since the buyer was a champion. It's just that Lin Haoran's eyes are full of resentment, so that the road has been sullen.
This girl actually wants to move out of his Hanlin Academy, so why do you have to make a ruthless knife, but she only cut a penny of silver, and her name as a Hanlin Scholar is so worthless?
The tiger girl hummed a few words softly in her mouth, sometimes raised her bun face to look at the sunset, sometimes jumped on the blue brick street, and sometimes turned her head to look at Lin Haoran, and her mood seemed to be very good.
