Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 268 I Can't Understand It!

After crossing several wide roads, you will arrive near Taoyuan of the Later Generation.

Because of Zoff's appearance, history has undergone slight changes.

The origin of Taoyuan is related to Li Changxiang, a Jinshi at the end of Chongzhen Dynasty.In the original history, he assisted King Lu to supervise the army against the Qing along the coast of Zhejiang. When Zhoushan was broken, he was captured by Chen Jin, the governor of the Qing army, and imprisoned in Jiangning.

At that time, there was Yao Shu, a lady in Jiangning, known as "Zhongshan scholar", who admired Changxiang's reputation, and often went to her in private to discuss poetry and art.

Not long after, the two escaped from Jiangning by taking advantage of the slackness of the guards, and came to Changzhou to live in seclusion in Taoyuan, the later generation of Changzhou.The husband and wife saw that there were few people here and the land was fertile, so they planted peach trees widely. Over time, a peach forest stretching for several miles was formed here.

In spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom and colorful, attracting tourists who linger and linger, and the name of Taoyuan has spread from this.

However, Zuo Fu is here now, and it is now 1646, and Nanjing is still in the hands of the Ming court, so Comrade Li Changxiang doesn't need to live in seclusion anymore, and this Taoyuan story has been lost directly by Miss Zuo.

The newly built post station is not so much a post station as a hotel.Because it is not only used to receive past officials, but also open to ordinary people.

Two courtyards with seven entrances are connected to form this new post station. Zuofu personally inscribed the name on it, called Changzhou Hotel.

The words are fresh, but most of the people who can come here to consume are also somewhat cultured, so they can naturally figure out the meaning.

The yard looked very simple from the outside, without any carved beams or paintings, so some potted plants and water tanks were placed in the courtyard to raise lotus and goldfish.

There are three-storey small buildings here, without painted or carved patterns, but the entire courtyard uses the construction materials and techniques of later generations.

It has to be said that no matter how technology develops, the foundation remains the same.When Zuo Fu handed over a bunch of modern construction materials to these craftsmen, they quickly understood the mystery.

In fact, the construction of a three-story building is not difficult. After gaining experience in building city walls and learning some modern construction concepts, these craftsmen quickly built this new building according to Zoff's requirements.

This building looks quite classical from the outside. In the courtyard, a lot of flowers and trees have been transplanted, and some places are paved with cobblestones.

Simple yet generous.

Ren Ning and the others looked at the station and felt a burst of disbelief.

all the windows...

It's all made of glass? !
How luxurious is this? !
Glass products on the market in Nanjing are hard to come by, but here...

How much does such a large piece of glass cost? !Actually used to install windows? !

These indigenous technology dogs don't know that the manufacture of flat glass used to install windows is much more difficult, and it is far from comparable to those glass products.

When they entered the hotel lobby, they felt dizzy again.

What is this thing on the ground?There are also stone textures in the gray, is this carved out of the mountain?But why are the patterns on each piece the same? !
The retro gray tiles popular in later generations directly made these Ming Dynasty technology dogs dumbfounded.They couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they thought, how did this thing come out?

Looking at the wall again, I was even more surprised!

This house is scary enough made of bricks, how could the lime used be so white and smooth?Looking up again, his jaw almost dropped in shock!

Crystal chandeliers, huge crystal chandeliers!

At this moment, the sun shines in through the window, reflecting the crystal lamp, refracting colorful light, which makes people intoxicated.

this lamp...

Also like those street lamps, as long as they eat sunlight?But although the light in the house is good, the sunlight cannot directly shine on the lamp, so can the lamp still be on?

Continue to look, but saw a counter on the side of the hall, and there were several people standing inside.Looking at it again, it's a little scary, why are they all women? !
These women are all in their thirties, with good looks, wearing dark blue cross-collared shirts with white borders, and what appear to be white chest-length skirts underneath?
this dress...

So frivolous!
He even exposed his neck!

Although I thought so in my heart, my eyes couldn't be controlled.

These women wear simple buns with silk flowers on one side.The silk flowers are quite bright in color, and the three flowers are of different colors, and they are decorated with beads in the middle, which looks very unique.

And there is a thin pendant hanging around their necks. The chains that hang the pendants are very delicate, showing a kind of pale gold, and I don't know what material they are made of.

There are also studs on the ears, which are also pale gold, with a shining one in the middle, which seems to be crystal.

Although these women are a little old, but because of their decent makeup, they look quite charming.Just put the woman here, what does it mean?Do you still provide some services?

Seeing these noble people looking at these front desk ladies, Zong Sheng smiled and said: "These women are all poor people in the Goulan. They are old and can't do the skin and meat business anymore, and they will end up miserable. After the county magistrate learned about it, he redeemed them Come out and work for them, it won't be too miserable."

"These are whores?!"

Chang Kun was shocked, "People like Zuo Fu also use it?!"

These days, although being in a brothel is an elegant thing, the women in the brothel are despicable.So Zuo Fu, a female class, actually used brothel girls to do things, which surprised them.

"Still paying for the redemption?"

Ren Ning was also surprised, "What is she planning?"

"hey-hey."

Zong Sheng laughed straight, "Your Excellency said that these prostitutes are also poor people. They were all sold or abducted. It is a great thing to let them be good. Those old bustards also showed kindness, but they cooperated. They only need a little money. Get it down."

"Oh, I'm afraid it's not the old bustard showing kindness?"

Ren Ning sneered, "Based on your Master Zuo's method, if you say something important, who would dare not give it?"

Zong Sheng put on a straight face, and said, "Our lord is the most reasonable, and those who are dragged to parade by her are all bad guys!"

Ren Ning snorted coldly, but didn't make another sound.

Zong Sheng's sense of this person immediately deteriorated.

what?He stares at every turn, what happened to the officials of the Ministry of Industry?Not a bumpkin?
But it’s okay to be unhappy, and the work still needs to be done well.

Didn't the adults say it repeatedly?
You can't bring your emotions into your work, and this is an official from the capital. If you don't do well, they will inevitably give adults small shoes to wear. He can't hurt adults.

Go to the counter and take out the note Zoff gave.

When the ladies at the front desk saw it, they immediately took action.

These women have been educated since they entered the brothel since they were young.It's just that she was unlucky, and she didn't find a benefactor at the best age to take her home. When she was old, she became a low-class girl in the building.

Zuofu got them out and gave them a decent job, so he was very grateful.In their spare time, they also take the time to study, so doing some registration work does not bother them.

Seeing Zov's seal on the note, he took out a book and a stapler from the counter, stapled the note in the book, and wrote down the number of people, the room number, etc. on the bottom.

With so many people moving in, it must have been arranged long ago. Giving the note now is just a handover process.When Ren Ning and others arrived here, their rooms had already been arranged.

Check-in was quick and in no time a group of people were given keys to their rooms.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, there are [-] rooms. These people from Nanjing are arranged on the first and second floors of the courtyard.

Ren Ning followed Zong Sheng into his room.When I walked to the door, I saw the words on the door: Guijia one by one.

"What does that mean?"

"Return to your honor, this is the VIP room."

Zong Sheng replied: "We have single rooms, double rooms, and rooms with a living room. This VIP is the first VIP room on the first floor when entering the courtyard. Considering that some nobles bring servants, this VIP There is a small hall in the room, and a side room for the servants to rest." Yes
"It's thoughtful to think about it."

While speaking, Zong Sheng had already opened the door, revealing the interior of the room to Ren Ning.

There is a cabinet at the entrance, and there is no gap in the cabinet from top to top.The design on one side of the cabinet is also very exquisite, it is not closed, and there are kettles and teacups on it.

When I got closer, I found that there was still a small porcelain box with a piece of paper on it, and the word "tea" was written on it.

There are two strange looking things beside the teacup, the shells are neither gold nor jade, and I don't know what they are used for.

"My lord, this is a hot water kettle. It can be used to make hot water. This thing is amazing. Put the hot water in it. After five or six hours, the water will still be warm. The room boy has just filled the water. If it runs out, Just put the hot water bottle outside the door, and someone will come to refill it. It’s just that this thing is precious, it can’t be dropped, it will break, and if it breaks, you have to pay for it.”

Zong Sheng introduced: "The tea leaves are all Liyang white tea. Only the VIP rooms can drink this good tea. They are all free, no money."

As he spoke, he opened the cabinet again, "This is the wardrobe, this is the rack for hanging clothes, there are slippers in the lower compartment, and this robe, you can take it with you when you go to the bathroom to take a shower, put it on after you take a shower, and rest in the bathroom Take a rest and find a master who does pedicure and back massage, it's really enjoyable."

"Does pedicure and back massage not cost money?"

Chang Kun, who came over, said with anticipation: "This is really enjoyable. It's just that I came at the wrong time, and it's hot in summer."

Zong Sheng resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "My lord, of course it costs money to fix your feet, otherwise those masters will have nothing to eat. As for the heat..."

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't be afraid, we have fans installed here."

As he spoke, he pressed the button on the other side of the cabinet, pushed open the door opposite the cabinet, and said, "Please look, gentlemen, there is a light inside. There is a fan outside, which will turn automatically, so you won't feel hot."

Now Ren Ning and the others were shocked again!

They looked into the room. It was a windowless room, but it was bright inside. There was a lamp at the top of the room, which was emitting a soft light.

In the room, there was also a white utensil and something they couldn't tell what it was. It was also white, and there was a metal-like thing on it.

My mind was completely a mess.

What are these?This officer can't understand!

　Three thousand characters!
