Chapter 21
What is the so-called "seven orifices and exquisite heart"?

This term was proposed by Granny Mu before. Although it sounds familiar, Wang Ting has no idea what the specific effect is.

However, looking at Bai Lingqin who sat across from her, although she could not be said to be eloquent, she could also be called a well-organized Bai Lingqin, Wang Ting still had some ideas.

He had asked Bai Lingqin about the map before, and as a child of a rich family, Bai Lingqin wouldn't be like an illiterate person who couldn't read it.

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

Ancient maps, even the kind marked in detail, are actually not a convenient thing to use to plan routes.

Not to mention this kind of map that almost covers the entire territory of Chu
In this regard, experience is often needed, but what experience can a young lady like Bai Lingqin have?
Therefore, from the very beginning, Wang Ting did not have any expectations that she would come in handy.

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

"I took a rough look at this map and probably thought of two routes in my mind."

Bai Lingqin was a little nervous, and her voice was still a little naturally cold, but if you listen carefully, you can detect the vibrato hidden in it.

It seemed that the Wang Ting sitting across from him was not a child of only six or seven years old, but a stern old pedant.

"Go on."

To be honest, Wang Ting was looking forward to her next plan.

Bai Lingqin paused, as if she was thinking about the initial draft, but under Wang Ting's gaze, she said:
"Just looking at the map, starting from Qingzhou, there is an official road leading directly to the capital. This route is relatively simple and clear, and there are many rest places such as post stations on the road. It can be regarded as a relatively clear route. .”

In the territory of Dachu, the state is the largest administrative division, and the current location of Wangting is Qingzhou, which is located in the east-north direction of the north.

"really."

Wang Ting nodded his head, looked at the way Bai Lingqin gestured with his fingers on the map spread out on the table, and agreed with this route.

"But there is one problem."

Since she was talking about two routes, it means that neither of these two routes is perfect, but each has its own shortcomings. Therefore, Bai Lingqin intends to present both routes for Wang Ting to choose.

"Because it takes into account the need to pass through various states and counties, this kind of official road is deliberately detoured when it is designed."

Because of deliberate detours, the biggest problem with this route is the distance.

If it is purely measured by ordinary people, it will take a very long time for this route to reach the capital.

"There is another way. It depends on you, A Ting."

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

There is one thing to say, if Wang Ting is alone, this is indeed the most convenient and quick way. With a map, you only need to confirm the landmark location marked by Zhu Ming, and you can arrive at your destination very quickly. land.

Well, fast is fast, but the problem is also obvious.

Bai Lingqin, she herself is the problem.

So far, I can only be regarded as a burden. Although Wang Ting didn't say it clearly, the girl must know it in her heart.

If this method was chosen, although Bai Lingqin would not be as weak as Liu Fufeng, Wang Ting would naturally not have much hope for a young lady, so if she wanted to bring Bai Lingqin, it would obviously only get in the way.

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

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

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

Do you choose to take Bai Lingqin and spend more precious time on the official road, or choose a direct route that is more efficient and only needs to discard some unnecessary burdens.

The answer is obvious.

". Let's rest here for one night today, and leave tomorrow."

Although Wang Ting has some ego, he is still a kind-hearted normal person. After all, he agreed to Bai Lingqin, so he can't do it yet.

"A Ting. Thank you."

Bai Lingqin felt relieved, it seemed that ever since she found out that she was going to get married, she had never had a smile on her face, but at this moment, a soft smile returned to her face.

It still gives people the feeling of an ice beauty, but under the solid ice, that soft and beautiful smile is particularly moving.

It's just that the so-called official road doesn't just go up on foot like this. Maybe there are people who do it, but definitely not many.

So, on this aspect, Bai Lingqin expressed her opinion again.

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

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

"The recent month happened to be the harvest day for Qingzhou's special products. 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 take a look. It will be more convenient to catch a ride. "

Of course, this is not the point, Bai Lingqin's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said falteringly:
"Ah Ting."

"what happened?"

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

"what?"

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

"Could it be the rouge powder from a girl's house?"

"Think about buying some cookbooks, and a book about teaching girls"

"what?"

Wang Ting was stunned.

Na Lingqin explained:
"I promised you that I would serve you with laundry and cooking. But I can't do that. I want to learn."

Not to mention, if the girl didn't say anything, Wang Ting would probably forget about this kind of thing.

"Ah, those, I don't need your service."

Following Wang Ting's refusal, Bai Lingqin's eyes couldn't help turning gray. Fortunately, Wang Ting was still sharp-eyed, so he changed his words directly:
"But if you have the heart, then go learn it, um, that's it."

When he said that, Bai Lingqin really recovered visibly with the naked eye.

"Ok!"

She nodded heavily, she looked full of fighting spirit.
