Jiang Mingde heard that his cousin was talking more and more, and turned his head away from responding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xue Dalang didn't care when he saw it, and continued to ask: "I just asked you how to settle down after you are sent to Yangzhou, but you haven't answered yet." “

Jiang Mingde thought about it carefully, and finally said ruthlessly: "Don't worry about life, she is so bold and reckless on weekdays, and she thinks how free she is when she goes outside." She has to hit a wall to know what a woman should do and what she shouldn't do. “

"Well, I know how to do it." What Xue Dalang was thinking in his heart, but he also said that he didn't have any ideas, he was thinking about how to train others. Looks like I'm going to have to get someone to stare at it a little bit.

After the boat arrived in Taizhou, Xue Dalang naturally went to Jiang's house with Jiang Mingde to meet his grandparents, uncle and others. Lin Yujuan wrote a brief letter, asking Xue Dalang to find someone to send back to his parents to report his safety. Then the two sisters and brothers were escorted to Yangzhou by Xue Guyji, and this time the road was smooth and they entered the Grand Canal after only three or four days, and walked along the canal until the east gate of Yangzhou. Due to the large number of boats coming and going, the boat was much slower after entering here, and it took a long time to dock at a place far away from the East Gate. The two siblings watched the various boats transporting supplies on the canal shuttling endlessly, a busy scene. This is really a countryman entering the city, and Lin Yusuo also feels that the hardships he endured in the past few days are really worth it. Although Lin Yujuan was mentally prepared for this, she couldn't hide the excitement and surprise in her eyes.

"Sister, it's so lively here, you see so many people, so many ships coming and going. Hey, I'm really right to come to Yangzhou with you, who have been here with those boys in our village. I went back and told them, and I was sure that they were all envious of me. Lin Yusuo was so happy that he danced with his hands.

"Let's go find a house while it's still early. It's best to be close to this pier, I see that there are many people here, and it would be nice to do some small business. After Lin Yujuan finished speaking, she and her younger brother thanked the boatmen of the Xue family and said goodbye, and the Xue guy told them to find a place to stay, and then told them at the dock. After the two siblings went ashore, they entered the city through the east gate, and the streets of the city were lined with shops on both sides. At this time, the New Year is approaching, and the pedestrians on the street are one after another, and there is an endless stream. What have I seen and never seen all kinds of items, gadgets, I dazzled the two of them. Lin Yusuo couldn't move his footsteps, Lin Yujuan almost didn't want to leave, she was in a hurry when she thought that she didn't have a place to live at night, and dragged Lin Yusuo to the alley behind the street.

After Lin Yujuan got into the alley, she saw which one had the courtyard door open, so she went in and asked if there were any vacant houses for rent. Yangzhou is not too far from Qintong, and the accents are similar, so there is no difficulty in communicating. After walking a few alleys, I also met a few families, but unfortunately there is only one house to rent, or squeeze into a yard with others, which is very inconvenient. I asked the price, and it cost three or four hundred dollars a month for a single room. The sister and brother have to rent two houses, and they have to remove a lot of silver from the house money this month. As soon as Lin Yusuo thought of this, his face suddenly darkened.

"Sister, this house is too expensive, why don't we go to rent a farmhouse outside the city, it should be much cheaper."

"Jade Lock, it's too far to go outside the city. Besides, there is such a large flow of people here, you can see how many merchant ships come and go every day along the canal. As long as we work hard, we are not lazy and afraid that we will not be able to make money. You don't want to do nothing and let the rent scare you away. The money I brought with me was enough for us to do nothing and survive here for a year or two. Let's look for it again, it's better to have a small yard, otherwise it's very inconvenient. Lin Yujuan said that she went to other alleys again, but the two of them turned around for a long time, not only did they not find the house, but they couldn't even find the way out. I couldn't help it, and finally walked out with the help of the residents in the alley. She originally thought that she could save agency fees by looking for it herself, but how could she find a house when she was always lost. In the end, I had no choice, so I inquired about a dental shop that did house leasing and trading.

Under the guidance of others, the two siblings found the tooth shop and told the real estate agent about their requirements. When the agent heard that he rented a small yard, there were many outsiders who went home and didn't rent at the end of the year, and there were a few suitable houses. The two siblings chose a small courtyard located in Xiaocao Lane, with three main houses, all of which had simple supporting furniture. There are two wings on one side, a kitchen, a miscellaneous room, and the courtyard gate is opposite the wing, and there is a palm-sized patio in the middle. The monthly rent costs one or two silver, and Lin Yujuan paid half a year's rent at once. After giving the Chinese fee and collecting the deed, the two sisters and brothers went to inform the Xue guy of the address of the yard where he lived, and moved all the things on the boat, and asked the landlord to find a safe place to moor his boat.

Thinking about the prices here, Lin Yujuan regretted that she had bought fewer things on the road. Fortunately, there are pots and chopsticks, and I can easily deal with it for the time being. After cleaning the house, the sister and brother had to go to the street again to buy two quilts and buy some items. The sister and brother summed it up, and now not only does the house cost money. Rice, oil, salt, vegetables, and even grass for burning the fire cost money every day. When Lin Yusuo heard this, he hurriedly ran to the boat and brought back the remaining bundle of straw. Lin Yujuan also felt a lot of pressure, and if she went on like this, she didn't know if she could mix her thirty or forty taels of silver for a year or two.

At night, Lin Yujuan lay on the bed and thought carefully about what to do. It's not okay to make kimchi for the time being, this yard is a renter's house, when the landlord is going to take over the house, so many jars are inconvenient to move around. Moreover, all kinds of vegetable raw materials have to be bought, and the cost is much higher. She plans to go out on the streets tomorrow morning and see what the neighborhoods are selling.

The next morning, the sister and brother hastily ate breakfast and went shopping together. Out of the alley and towards Dongguan Street, Xiaocao Lane is not far to the west of Dongmen Pass. The two sisters and brothers went up Dongguan Street and walked all the way to the west, only to see that the street was bustling with wells and businesses, and the business was prosperous. Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the pedestrians on the street are carrying their shoulders, and the atmosphere of the New Year is very strong, and the sisters and brothers can't help but feel a little homesick.

There are so many shops on both sides of the street, such as oil and rice shops, fresh fish shops, eight fresh shops, melon and fruit shops, bamboo and wood shops, blacksmith shops, umbrella shops, plaque shops, lacquerware workshops, sugar shops, jade workshops and so on. It is close to the Dongguan Gate, and the Grand Canal is outside the city gate, so there are many restaurants and hotels on both sides of the street, as well as all kinds of dental shops. The two siblings walked all the way west, and found all kinds of tailor shops, cloth shops, embroidery goods, costumes, and clothing estimators on the street in front of them.

(I ask for collection!!) Thank you for your recommendation! ）
