Chapter 147: Shanghai Town
The place called Shanghai Town is still much behind compared with the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou that Qingxuan went to before, but the construction of the Haisha Gang can be seen everywhere. The power of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info the government in this place is not even as effective as the power of the Haisha Gang. Many families who used to fish at sea switched to salt production because of the abundant life guaranteed by Helan's blessings.
After all, there are always some things that are not suitable for fishing throughout the year, but salt is needed all year round.
They disembarked and switched to horseback riding, which was quite agreeable. They rode around the seashore on horseback, and they could see many households, taking advantage of the rare warm winter sun, still drying salt.
After noon, they came to a stop in front of a three-hall courtyard house with white walls and black tiles, which was not as simple and elegant as the luxurious mansions of Helan's family before.
He introduced her with a calm face, as if he had wronged her and was embarrassed. "It's relatively small here, I don't know if you can't get used to it, usually only myself or Shangguan come over. In the future, I will expand my business here, and I will build a bigger place. ”
Qingxuan's eyes looked at this courtyard intently, and for a while, Helan Qiyou couldn't tell if she was dissatisfied.
"If you don't like it, you might want to go back to the boat, because there are no decent big inns nearby. All he could say was this, and he didn't dare to confide in the fact that he had doted on his wife too much.
It feels like home here, in fact, Qingxuan liked it at first sight. "I like it here, it's just the two of us?"
"Well, there are also two uncles and two couples, they take care of this place. ”
He took her into the house, and at this time, the brothers of the Haisha Gang had already moved Qingxuan's luggage from the boat, and Aunt Guo was in the main house, directing everyone to put the luggage away.
As soon as Helan Qiyou arrived, many people couldn't wait to surround him, and countless problems asked him to solve them one by one, so Qinglin asked him to do things first and pack his luggage by himself.
"Young master, the old slave is here to pack your luggage for you. "It didn't take long for Second Aunt Guo to probably receive Helan Qiyou's order and come over to help.
Qing Xuan used to take care of her room in the past, and she knew that she couldn't live in this Shanghai town for a long time, and she wouldn't take out everything, so she felt that it was better to take care of it herself. "It's okay Second Aunt Guo, you go and do your work, I'll just come by myself. ”
"Well, if the young lady needs anything, just tell the old slave. ”
Aunt Guo was also refreshed, turned around and went down, leaving her own room in the main house.
"Can I walk around?" everything was put in place, and Qing Xuan saw that it was not dark yet, so he wanted to walk around.
"Of course you can, I heard that the young lady likes to bathe? Although this house is not big, there is also a natural geothermal spring in the back garden, and there is a cold stream next to it, and the path is easy to walk. At that time, the young master arranged it this way, and it also saved a lot of time for boiling water and building a bathhouse. But the young lady is going over there, and it's better to wait for the young master to come back to accompany you. ”
"Okay, I see, you go get busy. ”
Qing Xuan walked around the house for a while, and found that this mansion was similar to the garden pavilion in their house, clean and simple, and a little elegant and delicate, just like Helan Qiyou herself.
Because it was winter, it darkened very quickly. She stayed in the house and had nowhere else to go, so she went to his study, which she only wanted to look at at casually, and felt that the style and furnishings of his study were almost the same. I inadvertently found more Helan Qiyou's pen and ink, and every time I read it, I couldn't help but think that his handwriting was really good.
In order to be greedy for more of his handwriting, she began to search in the room constantly.
Unexpectedly, she found a thick stack of manuscripts.
