Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The ancient city of Dali was built in Yeyu, also known as the Purple City. It is located under Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake. It can be said that the geographical location is extremely advantageous. The ancient city is surrounded by walls with rammed earth inside and stones and bricks on the outside.

There are four gates and four gate towers.

In the 600 years since it was built in the Ming Dynasty, the scale and layout of the ancient city have basically not changed much. Therefore, there is basically no difference between the modern city and the ancient city seen by the ancients more than 600 years ago.

The ancient city is very large, covering an area of ​​three square kilometers, and it is almost impossible to visit it all in one day. So in the evening, the family set out to visit Xiyun Academy first.

Compared with young people who like to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers, the elderly hope that their children and grandchildren will be blessed. For example, the third generation like Yang Dongxu and Yang Dongjie are basically adults, so the elderly focus on the fourth generation.

The little brats of the fourth generation are all in school, so first go to the academy to soak up the talents of scholars.

Xiyun Academy is not an academy of the Ming Dynasty, but was built in the third year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the architectural style is different from the distinctive style of Dali Ancient City in the Ming Dynasty.

However, others are limited. After all, ancient buildings are basically inherited from the same origin. Although each era has its own characteristics, the inheritance is basically the same.

Classical architecture, ancient costumes, and ancient academies. It can be said that Yang Dongxu and his colleagues have earned enough attention.

Although Hanfu is becoming more and more popular now, it is basically worn by individuals. Or when some businesses hold events, a group of people will wear it on the catwalk.

There are only a few people like Yang Dongxu who come from a wealthy family and travel dressed up, so they naturally attract a lot of attention.

Some children even pointed at Lan Yi's children's clothes and insisted that their parents buy an identical set. Unfortunately, these clothes were designed by Zhuo Qing'er and you don't have anywhere to buy them across the country.

"Such simple ancient-style clothing is quite good. We can introduce a few styles to the walking market." Yang Dongxu pushed a wheelchair with Mr. Xuan sitting on it.

No matter how old you are, you will eventually grow old one day. Mr. Xuan, who could carry a bag of wheat a few years ago, has been declining more and more in the past two years.

Although he can walk and eat well compared to his peers, he already needs a wheelchair for long walks.

In fact, there is no doubt that people like him who practice martial arts are in good health even in old age. Death is only because the organs in the body have reached the peak of life, and the muscles and bones will not be unable to walk.

However, Mr. Xuan suffered a lot of injuries when he was young. Although he was recuperating in Yangjiacun these years, he had a skilled doctor like Sun Banxian to help with his treatment.

Yang Dongxu can also obtain various rare medicinal materials. However, the elderly's recovery ability is inherently poor, and it is almost impossible to completely recover from some old injuries, so they can only maintain the status quo.

Mr. Xuan himself was quite open-minded and always said that he should have died a long time ago. If Yang Dongxu hadn't become rich and used various medicinal materials to help him survive, he would have been buried in the ground with only a handful of bones left.

We walked around for an evening and waited until dark to look at the night lights of the ancient city. Then we found a Bai restaurant and had a meal of Bai specialties before returning to the hotel.

I plan to go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow to see Cangshan Mountain, and swim in Erhai Lake in the evening.

It's almost impossible to visit all the scenic spots, so you can only check in the famous places and take photos as souvenirs.

In fact, if you can travel, you don’t have to rush so much. It’s not bad to take a leisurely stroll. Unfortunately, the elderly are homesick, so on the first day I came out, my grandma was worried about whether her chickens were well fed.

Therefore, we can only take a general tour of the scenic spots, and instead of taking a good trip, we should allow the elderly to see more different scenery that they have not seen before.

"What's wrong, are you not having fun, or are you having a conflict with Ajie?" When she returned to the room at night, she looked at the frowning Dong Yaozhuo Qing'er and couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's just... I just feel that this trip is different from before." Dong Yao said.

"What's different? Don't you like the attractions, or are you a little disappointed that you don't have a world with Ajie?"

"It's not like that, it's... how do I put it? When I used to travel, I would first check my wallet wherever I go.

Then when booking a hotel, you have to take a look at your wallet, eat, buy some local souvenirs, etc., and sometimes you will be a little entangled. This time, I didn't feel that way at all, so I was a little uncomfortable with the time."

Dong Yao said.

Although she is not someone who can't hide things in her heart, she is very smart. Whether she is facing the Yang family or Zhuo Qing'er, she always has something to say about anything.

The Yang family liked this sincerity very much, and the aunt was even more worried that she would have to pay more attention to her daughter-in-law in such a city to avoid being deceived.

The only reason why she did this was that Dong Yao understood that with her little thoughts and tricks, apart from the Yang family who were honest and responsible in her hometown, she probably couldn't even hide it from Yang Dongxu's little grandfather, who was not very conspicuous.

Rather than using those little tricks to make people hate you, it's better to be honest and frank.

"Well... I have felt this way before. You have to learn to adapt slowly." Zhuo Qing'er said with a smile.

She had also struggled with having no money, and Dong Yao obviously still hadn't gotten over it. For ordinary people to travel once a year, they have to plan how much they spend, otherwise they will definitely increase the family burden.

But the important thing here in the Yang family is not spending money. Money is nothing to the Yang family. The important thing is how to make the old man happy and how to let the old man see more scenery that he has never seen before before leaving.

"You have to get used to it!" Dong Yao couldn't help but nodded.

In the past, when she had a little money to travel, she could only think about a five-star hotel like this. But now, even on her first day, she understood that entering and exiting such a five-star hotel was as easy as entering and exiting her own toilet.

This feeling conflicted with the previous struggle of spending a lot of money to stay in a hotel, which made her feel a little dazed for a while, so she looked a little strange when she returned to the room.

Some other thoughts began to appear in my heart, such as, is this kind of life really what I want?

If it were Dong Yao in the past, she would definitely be the life she wanted. She studied so hard and eagerly looked for opportunities to film in order to become a big star and make more money.

But now, in addition to becoming a big star, other things she wanted in life, things she wanted to buy, and even things she dared not buy are now within easy reach, which made her feel as if she was dreaming.

At the same time, the dream of becoming a big star does not seem to be unattainable, as long as she can get along well with Yang Dongjie. This year's game studio will have some achievements, and next year she said that if she wants to act, she will be able to choose from all kinds of big productions.

So all the things she had hoped for before were right in front of her, and her first feeling was not ecstasy, but anxiety and guilt. She couldn't enjoy all this with peace of mind for a while.
