In the evening, the group finally arrived at the provincial capital of Jinan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Daddy! Daddy, I'm here!! Mingyu saw Shu Lao Er who was driving the car from afar, and waved at him happily.

Sven was very discerning and took his wife to thank him and say goodbye, and led the horse in the other direction.

Shu Lao Er got out of the car and led the horse into the city, Mingyu walked side by side with him, pointing and scratching as he walked, happily introducing Jinan City.

Hearing her brother's cheerful and clear voice, Qinglan in the car couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, she followed the example of her brother, knelt against the car window, lifted the curtain and looked out, looking around the old city of Jinan hundreds of years ago.

Ancient road bricks, Vermilion Bird Tower, Blue Tile Terrace, double bridge arches, green willow trees, golden cicadas.

Quancheng, which has no reinforced concrete, really lives up to its name, making people feel as if they have walked into a painting, which is more atmospheric and less silky than Jiangnan.

Jinan Mansion is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water, south of Mount Tai, north across the Yellow River, the reason why it is called "Spring City", thanks to the hundred springs in the city, there has always been a famous spring seventy-two eyes said.

Qinglan still remembers reading "The Travels of the Old Remnant", and the description in the book is really mouthwatering: "Spring water in every house, weeping willows in every household".

Unfortunately, the improper urban construction and the problems left over from the past made this historic city more and more hazy, and the once clear river became an open sewer, and the whole city was shrouded in a foul smelling atmosphere, which made the previous Qinglan very disappointed.

At this time, the sky is gradually sinking, the purple clouds and glow penetrate into the sky, and the city is full of peace, and the smoke is not visible, but in addition to the obviously moist water vapor in the air, there are also bursts of rice fragrance.

Along the way, smelling the aroma of the dishes that change from time to time, Xiaobao felt even hungrier.

"Where are we going to eat at night?" Xiaobao stretched out half of his head and beckoned to Mingyu.

"Sir is waiting for us in Deyue Tower." Mingyu informed Shu Lao Er and got into the carriage of the thirteenth.

"Go now?" Xiaobao can't wait.

"Hmm!" Mingyu thought of Mr.'s words, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, before he came, Mr. said to him: "When you see Xiaobao, don't say anything, just say food, otherwise he won't go with you obediently." "Sir is like a god! Just now, Brother Xiaobao wanted to go to Baotu Spring first.

(Qinglan/Thirteen: Cut, this is still Mr. said?!) )

Deyue Tower is not far away, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to drive there.

After Qinglan got out of the car, she looked up and saw the flying eaves blessing beast, and then looked at the plaque and surroundings of Deyue Tower, and finally knew why this store was named Deyue.

This three-storey restaurant is strategically located at the confluence of two rivers and opposite a century-old medicine hall. If the moon is full, climb the tower to watch the moon, the moonlight is bright, and the reflection in the water is clean, think about it is very beautiful.

Everyone greeted each other for a pleasantry, and when they were waiting for the food, Mingyu talked eloquently, telling everyone what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and Mr. Ji occasionally added, and he had a good time at dinner.

As for the dishes, I don't care, because it's really not good!

For example, this black chicken juice poured sea cucumber, the ingredients are of the highest quality, but the chicken juice is too thick, which affects the absorption of the sea cucumber into the soup, and the side dishes are also cooked a little old, with dry millet porridge, it is really a failed match, the taste is mixed together, and it can't be eaten fragrant and smelly. It's a lot of portions, and in a nutshell, it's a big bowl of salty and salty.

This kind of mistake is also reflected in the shrimp custard, a pound of seven deep-sea prawns, did not remove the shrimp line, mixed in the custard, and ate a bite of the tooth is very much.

Of course, other dishes are not much better, such as this nine-turn large intestine, the fat intestine is too raked, there is no chewiness at all, and the old lady who feels toothless eats nothing more than that.

There is also the sweet and sour carp, the outer layer of gourds is too thick, and the sauce is poured with a red lump, like eating fried gnocchi.

Fortunately, everyone was hungry, so they finished eating, and after the meal, the sky was completely dark, Qinglan and the others said goodbye to the master and rushed to the residence, and this time Mingyu was also with them.

With just one glance, Qinglan fell in love with this new home, and she smiled unabashedly at Thirteen gratefully.

Thirteen: ╭(╯^╰)╮ Ye ~ Do things, when is it unreliable!

This is a house with a paved front, the front is a two-story building, the signboard on the door has been removed, the house is clean, and even the window paper is new.

The store is not large, about fifty or sixty square meters on the first floor, and there are two small doors at the corner of the tent under the stairs, one leading to the backyard and the other connecting to the kitchen.

The kitchen is boxy and has a lot of space, with four large windows on each side of the wall, a row of stoves under the west window, five or six stove holes, a row of shelves on a wall near the stove, and a large water urn in the corner.

Entering the backyard through another small door, the most conspicuous thing is the three magnificent main rooms, under the eaves, there seems to be a swallow's nest.

The yard is very large, about seventy or eighty square meters, there are three wings on the left, and the well is between the wings and the shop, so it is convenient to get water. The right side is empty, and Pan Erniang plans to open the land and put a fence around it to raise chickens and vegetables.

The hall of the main house is neatly tidy, there are tables and chairs on three sides, and a round table can be placed in the middle, the house seems to have just been repaired, the white walls of the room are very clean, and the furniture looks new.

Pan Erniang likes to live in the West House, and she led her daughter to the West Room first.

The Westinghouse is very large, about 30 square meters, with beds, tables, tables and chairs, and a chaise longue under the window sill. Pan Erniang excitedly compared and gestured, planning to arrange it well, since she moved out of the Shu family's old house, she has always felt that there is no comfort of home in the restaurant.

Out of the West House, they came to the East House again.

Qinglan is getting older, and it is not suitable to live with Mingyu anymore, so this east house will be her living room from now on.

The area of the east house and the west house is about the same, four corners and four corners, as soon as you enter the door, there is a set of good wooden chairs and coffee tables against the wall, Qinglan plans to make a partition in the middle of the room, a vertical screen, and there is a set of four Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum style interstitial screens in the luggage, which is the marriage of grandma that year, before coming to Jinan, grandpa gave it to himself.

The east room also opens the window on the wall facing south and north, and there is only one window to the north. There is a plane tree on the left and right of Baoxia, the trunk is very high, of course, it is also because it is dark, anyway, Qinglan did not see the crown.

There is a big kang under the window, the head of the kang is against the east wall, the tail of the kang is against the wardrobe, the wardrobe is very large, half a head higher than Qinglan, it is enough to hide in and sleep.

(Haruran: I'm not Doraemon!) ）

The windows to the south were open four, and Qinglan liked it very much, the more windows, the better the light in the room.

Under the window is a large boxy bookcase, with chairs on both sides and matching bookshelves standing next to it.

Thirteen secretly saw Qing Lan's joy, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, Qing Lan didn't know that most of these furniture were purchased by Thirteen.

Out of the hall, the family walked into Mingyu and Brother He's wing.

There are also three wing rooms, the area is only half of the main room, one room for each brother, and the middle one is reserved for the study.

At first, Brother He still wanted to sleep with his parents, but after being mercilessly ridiculed by his brothers and sisters, he accepted the reality of sleeping alone. After waiting for a month, no matter how much he coaxes the free brother, he doesn't want to sleep with his parents.

The courtyard of the thirteenth is next door, and there is a moon gate connected to the courtyard of the Shu family, and there are two houses when the door is closed.

Qinglan's family also went to visit the courtyard of the thirteenth, and there were three main rooms, there were no wings, but the courtyard was flat and open, and Wu Shi was also optimistic about this at the beginning, so that it was convenient for the master to practice.

Qinglan unceremoniously led Xiaobai to the courtyard of the thirteenth, and Da Jin swept her tail disdainfully, if it wasn't for Shu Lao Er to stop her, she would still want to move the carriage over.

The house was owned by an elderly couple over seventy years old, the old man surnamed Zhang, a small man, with a thick ring of white hair around his ears, which looked more than hair. Mrs. Zhang is fair-skinned, and she was also a beauty when she was young, and although the two of them spoke Jinan dialect, their accent was really not like that on the Shandong border.

The old couple had no children under their knees, adopted twin grandchildren, and lived next door - in the small courtyard next to the kitchen.

Originally, the old couple of the Zhang family only rented a house, and the shop in front of them was a noodle restaurant that their family had opened for more than 30 years. Under the strong request of Thirteen, the old man Xiao Zhang discussed with his wife, and simply closed the stall and rented it out, after all, the age of the two was there, and it was really powerless.

This alley is only a few zhang away from Taishan Academy, named Gui Xing Lane, take the meaning of "Gui (Apricot) List Title", the alley is quite deep, most of the people who live in it are day students or small businesses around.

Shu's family was very satisfied, such a good house was completely beyond their expectations.

Xiaobao's face was full of jealousy, and he really wanted to live here and be with everyone. Thinking of the dormitory for four people, little Bolden was full of grievances.

"Westinghouse is left to you." Thirteen comforted him.

"Where does Wu Shi sleep?" It's just two rooms, don't blame me.

"He's in the same room as me." Thirteen couldn't get used to sleeping on the kang, so he specially bought a new bed and let Wu Shi sleep on the kang, and it was warm in the kang house in winter.

"Alright then!" Xiaobao endured it on the surface, and his heart was already happy, and he beckoned his subordinates to move him to salute.

After dividing the room, everyone began to tidy up the room.

The first thing Qinglan did was to hang a mosquito net, although it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but mosquitoes couldn't be unguarded - she was too attracted to mosquitoes!

As soon as she packed her clothes, Pan Erniang came in.

"Mother, have you packed up?" It's too fast, isn't it?

"Qingqing," Pan Erniang's face was a little serious, "You and your mother are honest, how much does this house cost." After the excitement, Shu Lao Er began to think about a question, can such a good house really be rented for one hundred and eighty taels a year?

The more the couple thought about it, the more wrong it became, so Pan Erniang came to find her daughter.

Sure enough, Qinglan secretly snorted Thirteen's bad idea, is it stupid to be her father?

"Didn't you say that you would have a meal of one hundred and twenty-two and thirteen?" Qinglan intends to get through the tricks.

"I know, but three hundred taels is too little!" Pan Erniang is obviously much more shrewd in doing business.

"Three hundred taels is less? The previous set of our family was only sixty taels a year! Qinglan quickly spun her brain wheel, it had already multiplied fivefold Okay, she deliberately didn't compare the quality of the houses on both sides and the geographical location.

Pan Erniang was full of suspicion, but her daughter's expression didn't seem to be fake, was that really the case?

(Mingyu: Mother, my sister's expression has been practiced to the extent that she doesn't say that you will never guess, don't ask me if I am swollen I know, it is all tears... ）

In fact, Qinglan began to suspect from the moment she stepped through the door, is such a good house with pavement, and renting it for three hundred taels a year?

She has never been to Jinan, and she doesn't know the local prices, but she is not stupid, such a strong and sturdy tile house, such a good location in the field, convenient transportation, and the shop is just a prime location, even in Weixian, it costs three hundred taels a year! As for the provincial capital, it will definitely not be able to come down without five or six hundred taels a year.

I have to say that Qinglan is the truth again, Thirteen Yin reported half of it, the Shu family's yard with paved noodles costs six hundred taels per year, while his small courtyard only costs two hundred taels per year.

At the beginning, Thirteen planned to exchange rent for meals, who knew that the Shu family did not agree, what rice was worth the money, and then it was easy to say that it was even angry to start its own fire, and the Shu family promised to ask for one hundred and twenty taels a year, which is more than Xiaobao's food in the canteen, and the meaning of the Shu family is two, isn't it just two more pairs of chopsticks, and what money to give!

"Since Thirteen said three hundred taels is three hundred taels." Qinglan and the Shu family can't go to the landlord to ask, or it will seem like thirteen percent of everything.

"How much, exactly?" Pan Erniang's face sank, the more her daughter beaten, the more she didn't like it, how could she hide such a big thing from them!

"I don't know!" Qinglan was very innocent, "If my mother doesn't want to go, just make more delicious supplies for Thirteen." “

That's it. Anyway, now that she lives in it, Pan Erniang is not a hypocrisy, she will take all the other expenses to her own side, and Thirteen has to agree.

The next morning, Xiao Baolai asked Qinglan Mingyu to go shopping.

Brother He happily ran back to his house, turned out his small vault, and jumped to take Xiaobao's hand, "Follow Brother Xiaobao to have meat to eat!" ”

Who taught you?! Qinglan glared at her younger brother, it was true that she followed Xiaobao to become a foodie.

"This..."Mingyu still wants to help his father and mother clean up the yard.

"Let's go," Pan Erniang drove the sister and brother away, "I just want to go shopping on the street with your father, and take care of your brother." "Brother He'er is really too rubbing.

Old man Xiao Zhang was afraid that a few children would not be familiar with each other, so he asked his two grandsons to accompany Qinglan and others out.

The two little brothers don't look like each other at all, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, the elder brother is short and fat, called Zhang Ji; The younger brother is tall and thin, named Zhang Xiang, the two are fourteen years old this year, and they are very energetic, which shows that the old man Zhang and his wife are very attentive to them.

"Let's go." Xiaobao can't wait.

******

"Master." Wu Qi took a step forward.

At this time, it was late at night, and Li Desheng and others had arrived in Jinan, but he did not alarm the government, but first found an inn to live in. The events during the day were quite strange, and Li Desheng needed to ask to understand.

"Can you see the other master's face?" Li Desheng rubbed his chin, there are many nobles in Beijing who raise tigers, but they only like to watch them fight, and I really haven't seen them with me all the time.

"No, my subordinates guessed that the coachman's work was not under me."

Oh? Li Desheng was a little surprised, this is very noteworthy, you must know that Wu Qi ranks seventh in the dark guard, and his kung fu is very good.

Seeing that the fifth prince pondered for a long time, Wu Qi added: "They look like they are going to sea." ”

"How so?"

"The subordinates heard the shopkeeper's order to the man who transported the wine, replaced the wine jar with wooden barrels, and transported it directly to the dock in Jiaoao."

yes, go to sea... The other party doesn't look like a trader, these days, in addition to playing trading, what is the reason for going to sea. Li Desheng gave birth to a bold idea.

"Find a face and wait for us in Jiaoao." I must write a letter to my father immediately, and ask for two capable men to come over.

"Yes." Wu Qixing saluted and retreated, and remembered the zero three he saw during the day, what did this kid do in Shandong?
