Chapter 21 What Lingqin needs

What exactly is the so-called "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart"?

This term was proposed by Granny Mu before. Although it sounded familiar, Wang Ting had no idea what its specific effect was.

However, looking at Bai Lingqin sitting across from him, who could not be called eloquent but could be said to be well-organized, Wang Ting still had some ideas.

He had asked Bai Lingqin about the map before, and as a child of a wealthy family, Bai Lingqin could not understand it like an illiterate.

But it's one thing to understand, but it's another thing entirely to rely on a map to plan a feasible route.

Ancient maps, even those with detailed markings, are not convenient for planning routes.

Not to mention this kind of embarrassing map that covers almost the entire territory of Dachu.

This aspect often requires experience, and what experience can a purdah lady like Bai Lingqin have?

Therefore, from the beginning, Wang Ting had no expectations that she would be useful.

However, in terms of results, her intelligence far exceeded Wang Ting's expectations.

"I took a brief look at this map and roughly thought of two routes."

Bai Lingqin is a little nervous, and her voice still has a natural coldness, but if you listen carefully, you can detect the vibrato hidden in it.

She still gives people the feeling of an ice beauty, but under the hard ice, her soft and beautiful smile is particularly moving.

The scene fell silent for a while, and in this silence, Bai Lingqin couldn't help but start to feel anxious.

Since she is talking about two routes, it means that these two routes are not perfect, but each has its own shortcomings. Therefore, Bai Lingqin decided to lay them out for Wang Ting to choose.

"Can you give me some money? I want to buy something."

The shortest line segment between two points, so the quickest way is to follow the map and move forward in a straight line regardless of the miscellaneous land and water routes.

Well, it’s fast, but the problem is obvious.

"Ah, those, I have no need of your service."

"What's wrong?"

As soon as she mentioned it, Wang Ting would weigh the "cost-effectiveness" of the two methods very normally.

If you choose this method, although Bai Lingqin will not be as weak as Liu Fufeng, Wang Ting will naturally have no hope for a young lady. Therefore, if you want to take Bai Lingqin with you, it will obviously only get in the way.

"Because it is considered that it passes through various states and counties, this kind of official road will be deliberately detoured when designing."

"Father, you have taught me about merchants before. Every once in a while, a caravan will set off from the main city. If it is just a ride, the other party will not refuse."

Because there is a deliberate detour, the biggest problem with this route is the distance.

"really."

The answer is obvious.

Of course, this is not the point. Bai Lingqin's eyes flickered and hesitantly said:

"Ah A Ting."

Bai Lingqin, she herself is the problem.

Wang Ting nodded and looked at Bai Lingqin drawing with her fingers on the map spread out on the table, agreeing with this route.

"This past month happens to be the day when Qingzhou's specialty products are harvested. There should be a large number of caravans departing from the main city in this area. We might as well go to the main city to have a look. It will be more convenient if we hitch a ride.

"

In purely human terms, it would take a very long time to reach the capital on this route.

"Go on."

Although Wang Ting is a little egotistical, he is still a normal person with some kindness. After all, he agreed to Bai Lingqin, so he can't do it yet if Zhong Dao abandons her.

To be honest, Wang Ting was somewhat looking forward to the plan she would give next.

Wang Ting was stunned.

Wang Ting looked at Bai Lingqin who suddenly became coy in a strange way, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

It was as if Wang Ting sitting opposite was not just a child of six or seven years old, but a stern old scholar.

Within Dachu, the prefecture is the largest administrative division, and the current location of Wang Ting is Qingzhou in the north-east direction in the north.

"What?"

She actually didn't need to say it, because if she did this, although Wang Ting would consider this method, she wouldn't be too embarrassed to show it to Bai Lingqin.

Should I choose to take Bai Lingqin with me and spend more precious time on the official route, or should I choose a direct route that is more efficient and only requires discarding some unnecessary baggage?

". Let's rest here for the night and set off tomorrow."

"But there's a problem."

The Bai family started as a businessman and later became a landlord in Yong'an. Bai Lingqin, in addition to learning "high-class skills" such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, was also familiar with business matters under the influence of her father.

.

Don't mention it, if this girl doesn't say it, Wang Ting will probably forget about this kind of thing.

So far, she can only be regarded as a burden. Although Wang Ting did not say it explicitly, the girl must know it in her heart.

Bai Lingqin felt relieved. It seemed that ever since she learned that she was getting married, there had been no smile on her face, but at this moment, a soft smile returned to her face.

However, the so-called official road does not mean just walking on it. There may be people who do this, but there are definitely not many.

"Ating. Thank you."

One thing to say, if Wang Ting is alone, this is indeed the most convenient and fastest way. With a map, you only need to confirm the landmark location marked by Zhu Ming, and you can reach your destination very quickly.

land.

"There is another way. It depends on you, Ating."

Na Lingqin explained:

"I promised you that I would serve you with laundry, cooking, etc. But I don't know how to do it. I want to learn."

Bai Lingqin paused, seeming to be thinking about the initial draft, and under Wang Ting's gaze, she opened her mouth and said:

"Looking purely from the map, starting from Qingzhou, there is an official road that leads directly to the capital. This route is relatively simple and clear, and there are many resting places such as inns on the road. It is a route with a relatively clear purpose.

.”

"Could it be the girl's rouge and gouache?"

Therefore, Bai Lingqin once again expressed his opinion on this aspect.

"Think about buying some cookbooks and books about goddaughter Hong"

"ah?"

Following Wang Ting's rejection, Bai Lingqin's eyes couldn't help but turn gray. Fortunately, Wang Ting was still sharp-sighted and changed his words directly:

"But if you are serious about it, then go and learn it. Well, that's it."

When he said this, Bai Lingqin really recovered visibly.

"Um!"

She nodded heavily, looking full of fighting spirit.
