Chapter 486: Ningyang
After resting with everyone for the night, Lan Xin and Lu Zhendong took Lan Yi and Han Wu, as well as more than 20 guards, and took a double-sailed heavy building ship to run towards the territory of Dayu.
The one here is called Ningyang County, although this county is not big, but because of its proximity to the sea, the transportation is convenient, and it extends in all directions. It is also a place where the dignitaries and nobles of Dayu compete. This is also why in a seemingly small county, the four major families of Dayu, Ouyang, Yuwen, Sima, and Zhuge are all entrenched here.
Han Wu handed over the official document, and the soldiers guarding the city took it casually. But when I saw the words on it, my eyes suddenly widened as big as a brass bell. Craned his neck, looking curiously at the boat. It's just a pity that the hatch is closed and nothing can be seen.
It's no wonder that the people guarding the city are curious, the Great Zong Dynasty has been more than ten years, and no one has come to Dayu for nearly twenty years. Can you not be surprised when you suddenly saw the official document of the Great Sect Dynasty today?
When the officials guarding the city saw the official document, their whole faces turned into flowers. Who doesn't know that the Great Zong Dynasty is rich in red ginseng, and as long as he makes a slight move during the inspection, he will have dozens of red ginseng in his hands.
The official guarding the city grabbed the official hat on the table and hurried out. As soon as I saw that the flag on the ship was really from the Great Sect Dynasty, the corners of my mouth were about to crack behind my ears with joy. But when he got closer, he couldn't laugh. Why? Because people only come to visit relatives, not to do business. Not to mention the whole red ginseng, even the ginseng beard didn't bring a single one.
The officials guarding the city looked at the boxes in front of them with disappointment, except for food, which was used. Although the jewelry in the jewelry box was a little more chic, to him, it was chicken ribs.
He looked at Lan Xin, who was wearing a curtain away, and was about to make a little trouble, but he was frightened by Lu Zhendong's ice-like eyes. I felt aggrieved, and my tone was naturally not good, so I asked impatiently: "You said that you went to the city to visit relatives, which of your relatives are you?"
"Back to this official. Han Wu lowered his head and said with a smile on his face, "We have come all the way from the Great Sect Dynasty, so naturally we are going to the Jade Mansion on Goldfish Street." ”
"Jade Mansion?" the official guarding the city rolled his eyes and said meaningfully, "I've heard that the owner of the Jade family is in business, especially the red ginseng business. ”
This is not searched, and it is ready to be made public.
"Yes, this official has a good memory. Han Wu said in a deep voice, "It's just······ Just ·······" Han Wu said with a sad face, "It's just that the old man has passed away for many years, and our girl has the heart to do a good job in business." But after many years, alas, in short, it's hard to say!"
Han Wu's words were twisted and turned, but smart people heard it. The old master died, and the little master wanted to take over from his father and continue to do business in Dayu. It's just that more than ten years have passed, and I don't know what the current form is. This time, I also came to explore the way.
The official guarding the city raised his eyebrows, his eyes looked Lan Xin up and down, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few people idle on a few small boats not far away. When it reached the mouth, I swallowed it hard. Alas, he sighed, "It's a poor man, too!" and waved his hand, "All right, let's go into the city!"
"Thank you, this official. Han Wu bowed his waist and said, when the officials guarding the city were about to step onto the board between the two ships. He hurriedly reached forward to support him, and naturally handed the purse in his hand to him, and said, "Be careful of your step, you walk slowly." ”
"Hehe, hehe!" The official guarding the city pinched the weight of the purse, and the gloomy face finally cleared. He waved his hand happily and said, "Okay, I've checked everything, let's go into the city!"
"Thank you, Official, go slowly!" Han Wu bowed and said, always with a signature smile on his face. After straightening up, he slowly spit out one breath.
The guards quickly packed the cages back into the cabin, the sails slowly rose, the gate bars opened, and the heavy ship slowly moved forward. Looking at the word Ningyang on the city gate, Lan Xin's heart couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
After the boat docked at the ferry, Han Wu handed over the silver for stopping the boat, rented a local carriage, and walked towards Goldfish Street with the east and west.
Dayu is different from Dazong, the women in Dayu are all bound feet, and they usually don't go out, let alone go out to do business. If you want to go out, you must wear a curtain and be accompanied by a maid, especially those young ladies with status.
Following the customs, Lan Xin sat in the car wearing a curtain and stared at the street curiously.
Lu Zhendong sat beside Lan Xin and said softly: "After you settle down, I will accompany you out to have a look." Raising his chin, he clicked on a few girls wearing curtains in front of the stall.
"Okay!" Lan Xin nodded with a smile and said, pulling the curtain on his head, and pouting and complaining, "It's just that the curtain is a little troublesome." ”
"If you don't like it, don't wear it. Lu Zhendong said indifferently.
"As the saying goes, if you don't wear it, I'm afraid it will be considered frivolous. Lan Xin looked out the window of the car, the women with the curtain away.
Looking at the two big words "Jade House" on the lintel, Lan Xin's eyes couldn't help but moisten. On the way she came, she was still apprehensive in her heart, wondering if the jade house had changed hands after more than ten years.
"Squeak!" the heavy wooden door pulled open from the inside. Out of it came two chubby women in their fifties. She looked at Lan Xin and the others in surprise, and when her eyes fell on Han Wu, she first raised her eyebrows suspiciously. After rubbing his eyes vigorously, he opened them again, and his eyes widened in disbelief, and then, his two hands gestured in the air, and his mouth made a sound of "Ahh Tears flowed involuntarily.
Lan Xin's tears also flowed out. She knew that the woman in front of her was the dumb aunt guarding the house, but she didn't expect that after so many years, she would still stay in the house. She and her husband are mute.
Listening to Han Wu's introduction, the two of them angered their masters because they were working in a big family's house. In a fit of rage, the master had their tongues cut out.
The dumb aunt with a big belly had nothing to do, holding her stomach in her hands, and sat there crying silently. happened to be met by the jade master who was a guest in the house, and she remembered his wife, who was also pregnant, so she was moved with compassion. said that his house was unguarded, so he asked the two of them to come.
Lan Xin looked at the excited appearance of the dumb aunt, and knew that over the years, she had always kept her father's kindness in her heart.
