Chapter 101 Honeymoon Honeymoon
Wang Lixin and Ren Shuxia, the newlyweds, are like puppets. On the wedding day, according to the traditional customs, what time, what time, what to do, step by step according to the schedule...

They worked until late at night when they returned home exhausted and came to the new house. Wang Lixin looked at Ren Shuxia, and Ren Shuxia also looked at Wang Lixin. Both of them looked helpless. Wang Lixin hugged Ren Shuxia tightly and whispered softly:

"Yan'er, you are so beautiful today, I love you!"

"Xiaoxin, I love you too!" As they spoke, the two lay on the bed. They were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to take off their clothes. Wang Lixin hugged Ren Shuxia from behind. Entering the sweet dream, the next morning, Wang Lixin glanced at Ren Shuxia who was sleeping beside him and said with a smile:

"Yan'er, how did we spend our wedding night in such a beautiful and beautiful way? If this gets out, won't you laugh your ass off?"

"Yes, I was so tired last night that I fell asleep unconsciously," Ren Shuxia replied with a smile.

"Then I don't care. Tonight you make it up to me and treat me well, you know?" Wang Lixin looked at her innocently.

"Okay, okay, I promise you everything tonight, that's not enough!" Ren Shuxia replied softly.

After the Spring Festival, Wang Lixin asked Ren Shuxia where she planned to spend her honeymoon?
Ren Shuxia lowered her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Let's go to Xiamen. Xiamen is a romantic and warm seaside city. There is Gulangyu Island, which is known as the "Garden on the Sea". Many buildings with Chinese and foreign architectural styles are well preserved on the island, and it is known as the "International Architecture Expo".Residents on the island love music and have a high density of pianos, which is praised as the island of pianos.We can look at the scenery and listen to music on that small island, how romantic it is! "

"Your suggestion is very good. Xiamen is not cold now, just suitable for traveling. There are also beautiful seaside beaches, Hulishan Fort, and Xiamen University, which is known as "one of the most beautiful campuses in China". There are many attractions worth visiting How about going to play?" Wang Lixin also became interested, he added.

After the honeymoon location was selected, it was easy to handle, so the two booked a flight from the provincial capital Zhengzhou to Xiamen, and rushed to Xiamen excitedly.

In Xiamen, the two of them played for a week at a stretch, visiting all the sights worth visiting. Just when Ren Shuxia decided to return, Wang Lixin said suddenly:
"Yan'er, since we've come to Xiamen, why don't we miss Luoyang Bridge?"

"Luoyang Bridge, isn't it in Luoyang? Now we are in Fujian, Xiaoxin, are you confused?" Ren Shuxia asked with a smile.

"Yan'er, you don't know, this Luoyang Bridge is not the other Luoyang Bridge, the Luoyang Bridge I'm talking about is the Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou.
As he spoke, Wang Lixin handed Ren Shuxia a Quanzhou travel guide map, which introduced the world-famous Luoyang Bridge in detail:
"Luoyang Bridge is located 13 kilometers east of Quanzhou City. It is also known as the four famous bridges in ancient China together with BJ's Lugou Bridge, Hebei's Zhaozhou Bridge, and Guangdong's Guangji Bridge. It was the only way for Guangdong and Fujian to enter the capital at that time. Luoyang Bridge should be in Luoyang, Henan Province. Why is this bridge named Luoyang Bridge? According to relevant records, as early as Tang and Song Dynasties, Quanzhou was inhabited by Yue people. A large number of people from the Central Plains moved south, and most of those who moved to Quanzhou and southern Fujian were from Henan, Heshui and Luoshui. The language family used in Quanzhou and even the entire southern Fujian region is called Heluo language, which is now called Hokkien. People from the Central Plains, they brought the advanced and developed agricultural technology and experience of the Central Plains, and guided the local people to cultivate and develop. They came to Quanzhou and saw that the mountains and rivers here were very similar to the ancient capital Luoyang, so they named this place Luoyang. Hence the name of the bridge.

At that time, the Luoyang River was "five miles wide with rolling waves".People can only rely on ferry boats to go back and forth. Whenever there is a strong wind and tide, they often overturn people and boats into the river. Therefore, in order to pray for a safe transition, the owner calls this ferry "Wan'an Ferry", and the bridge is also called "Wan'an Ferry". Onkyo".According to the records of "Quanzhou Fuzhi", the old Wan'andu was a pontoon bridge made of stone by Li Chongcong, a county native in the early Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was later rebuilt into a stone bridge by the county governor Cai Xiang.Luoyang Bridge was built from April of the fifth year of Huangyou to December of the fourth year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, from 1053 to 1059 AD. It took six years and eight months and cost more than 4000 taels of silver to complete. .Luoyang Bridge was originally 1200 meters long and 5 meters wide, with 46 piers, 500 stone carvings on both sides, 28 stone lions, and 7 pavilions and 9 towers. Hundreds.

The construction of Luoyang Bridge is a great contribution to world bridge science.Due to the raging tide of the Luoyang River at that time, the base of the bridge was destroyed.Bridge builders created a new type of bridge foundation—raft foundation, which was not known until modern times. They successfully adopted the "raft foundation" and "the method of solidifying the foundation" to solve the unprecedented problem of building large-scale bridges in the world. As for the basic engineering of the stone bridge, a large stone bridge with a length of 900 feet and a width of one foot and five feet was first built more than 360 years ago, which is the largest harbor stone bridge in the country.In Quanzhou, the saying "Standing like the East and West Pagodas, lying down like the Luoyang Bridge" has been passed down from generation to generation and spread overseas, not without reason. "

"It turns out that Luoyang Bridge has such a historical origin. It is worth visiting. Then let's go to Quanzhou tomorrow." Ren Shuxia said with great interest.

So the two of them took a long-distance bus and came to Quanzhou again. After three or four days, this romantic and warm trip to the sea ice city ended.

After returning to Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, Ren Shuxia caught a cold. Because the temperature difference between the north and the south was too great, she didn't pay attention to adding clothes for a while. Into the hospital, treatment.

This time Ren Shuxia caught a cold, which was considered an episode during their honeymoon. However, Ren Shuxia also took this opportunity to see the other side of Wang Lixin's careful care and kindness to her. But it is happy to bloom.

So Ren Shuxia feels that she is still very happy. The wishful man she found is very obedient to her, and she will let her do everything and spoil her...
