Shencheng, because it existed as a fortress, one of its first characteristics is the solid blue brick city wall, which is square, high and thick. The city wall of Shencheng is three feet five feet high and eight feet thick. There are eight gates on all sides to facilitate entry and exit. There is a city tower on the city gate, and a corner tower is set up at the four corners of the city wall, all of which are three-storey corridor type buildings, towering and towering.

In Shencheng, the streets are distributed in a tic-tac-toe shape, dividing the buildings in the city into regular squares. The main roads in the city are wide and flat, suitable for horses and military vehicles and artillery wagons to pass. And the General Military Mansion, that is, the Shen Mansion, is in the center of Shen City, that is, the center of that big tic-tac-toe.

Lian Man'er and his party entered the city, because it was already a little late, so they deliberately bypassed the more prosperous streets in the center, but went east, along the outermost wide streets.

Pine Hutong is located in the north of Shencheng and is named after two century-old pines at the entrance of Dongjiekou. When the carriage arrived at the corner of the street, Gorou had already sent someone to meet him. When I arrived at the door, I saw that on the lintel, there were lanterns on both sides with the words ""house" written on them.

The door opened, and Gorou personally greeted him with someone.

The buildings in Shencheng are very unified with the style of this city, they are all square courtyards, Xuanlang is open, and the houses are also spacious and magnificent.

Lian Man'er got out of the car at the gate, because she and Xiao Qi came for the first time, so they went all the way through the layers of houses.

Entering the first floor of the courtyard, there are two rooms with inverted seats on both sides of the door, five main halls above, and three rooms on each side of the east and west wings. Further on both sides, there are two cross-courtyards, the houses and stables of the subordinates are across the courtyard, and there is a small martial arts arena in the east courtyard.

The courtyard on the second floor is the inner house, which is also five upper rooms, three wing rooms on each side, and a verandah around it. There is a moon gate leading to two small courtyards in the east and west, as well as a third floor of the house.

The courtyard on the third floor is actually a large garden, and there are also several houses in the shade of flowers and trees, which are quiet rooms for summer cooling, or for quiet retreat.

Lian Man'er made an appointment of the entire house and felt very satisfied, the more than 1,000 taels of silver were worth it. And this time, Xiaoxi and Xiaoqing have already settled her residence.

There are many houses in the house. Mr. Lu, Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi all live in the front yard, and only Lian Man'er lives in the inner yard. Lian Man'er left the east house empty and lived, only living in the west house, and she lived in the back room. The outhouse is a small joy and a small celebration on the night.

Now in this house, in addition to the people brought by the family from the thirty-mile camp, there are also several other houses bought by Goro. The previous matter didn't need to be ignored by Lian Man'er, Wulang only sent Aunt Zhou, who was in charge of the kitchen, Aunt Zhao, who was serving in the inner courtyard, and two eleven or twelve-year-old girls to kowtow to Lian Man'er and listen to Lian Man'er's arrangement.

It was the time to arrange the meal, and Aunt Zhou took the water card for dinner and came over to ask Lian Man'er to show it. Lian Man'er was careful, slightly added or subtracted two things, and instructed Aunt Zhou a few words, and sent her down to arrange dinner first. In addition, Aunt Zhao and the two little girls were left to talk softly.

Aunt Zhao has been serving in the house for a few days, and she is an internal manager, and she took out the roster of people who are now serving in the house and gave it to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er was looking through the roster and talking to Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao is very old-fashioned, even Man'er asked one she can answer ten, and after a while, even Man'er will figure out the things inside and outside the house.

Nowadays, there are not many people in the house. Naturally, things are not too complicated. Lian Man'er saw that everything was in order, and she was relieved.

"Back to the girl, these two little girls were specially bought by the uncle to serve the girl. Now they don't have a name, and the uncle said that he has to ask the girl to give them a name. Aunt Zhao asked the two little girls to kneel in front of Lian Man'er, and said with a smile.

Of course, the little girl had a name. But now that he has arrived at the Lian family, he naturally has to follow the rules of the Lian family.

Lian Man'er thought that she already had Xiaoxi and Xiaoqing, so she simply named these two new girls Jixiang and Ruyi. He is eleven years old this year, slightly taller, and has a melon seed face called auspicious, and he is ten years old this year. Those who are slightly short and have a round face are called Ruyi.

The two little girls kowtowed and received their names, and Lian Man'er asked them to follow Xiaoxi and Xiaoqing to learn to do things.

Dinner was placed in the front hall, Lian Man'er washed up slightly, changed into clothes, and was about to go to the front hall, Xiao Qi came over first.

"Sister, I'll pick you up for dinner." Xiao Qi also washed and changed into a silver-red tuanhua robe.

Most families in Liaodong Mansion pay attention to a cat winter in winter, and in autumn, they pay attention to sticking autumn fat. Even Man'er's family is naturally the same, because Xiao Qi still has to study and do homework at night, and the supper is made by Zhang's family. The little bit of meat that Xiao Qi fell during the autumn harvest has now grown back. A face is white and red, and the flesh is whirring, which makes Lian Man'er want to pinch it when he sees it.

Because Xiao Qi is young, long and cute, so Zhang's family, Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er, they all like to use brightly colored materials to make clothes for Xiao Qi, and I can't wait to dress up this little guy every day like the good money boy in the painting.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi went to the front hall for dinner, and everyone sat around drinking tea while chatting about tomorrow's arrangements.

"Sir, these days, let's stay at my house. It's not far from Shen Mansion here, and I specially arranged a carriage for Mr., so it's very convenient to go back and forth if there is anything. Gorou said to Mr. Lu first.

The family was looking forward to Mr. Lu.

Shen Jin is going to enter Beijing in October, and there is already a decree in the capital, although it is not written what position will be arranged for Mr. Lu, but it is written that he wants him to enter Beijing with the people of the Shen family.

In this way, Mr. Lu seems to be better off living in the Shen family, but even Man'er's family is reluctant to let Mr. Lu leave, and they hope that he can stay at home more.

"Okay." Mr. Lu smiled and nodded in response.

The living conditions of the Shen Mansion may be better, but Mr. Lu is also used to living with the Lian family, and there are two of his students here, so emotionally, he naturally prefers to live here.

Before leaving Liaodong Mansion, Mr. Lu would live in Lian's house, and he would also take advantage of this time to find another good gentleman for Xiao Qi.

After Mr. Lu's matter was settled, the family talked about the roast duck restaurant again.

The roast duck restaurant is now ready to go, and it just needs to wait until the auspicious day to open. In Fucheng, it is different from in Thirty Miles of Yingzi, and the roast duck restaurant is different from Lianji Bun, which was already very famous and well-known in Jinyang County at that time.

"I'm afraid of the deep alley with the smell of wine, I'll go to the store tomorrow, and we'll discuss it again." Lian Man'er thought about it and said.
