Listening to Ji Dali's words, she smiled and didn't say anything, but she felt Ji's mother's eyes, so she also nodded to her slightly.

On the contrary, it was the tile lady, because she knew Ji Qingchen's thoughts, so she pouted angrily.

She Ji Qingchen also thought that the inland river project - the current western section of the Chuyang Canal - would be used in two years. At that time, she will be able to have enough connections to rush to build a dock and work for Saburo's fangdings.

When the time comes, whether they want to go to the sea and walk the sea, or eat on the river, they will naturally decide for themselves.

As for Ji Dali, if he thinks that it is better to drag San Lang and stay in Mingzhou to do business, they will naturally lobby San Lang.

She doesn't even need to open her mouth to keep people.

Their sisters and brothers always have to find a way to occupy a place in the Great Song Dynasty, so that the people can really settle down and live.

What was done 10 years ago, it will of course be much more difficult to do it again.

But this is not a foreign country for Fuso.

She is season-excellent-excellent-small-talking-more-new-most-fast-www.uuxs.cc-Qingchen, and she is not a ten-year-old girl who had nothing ten years ago.

After passing the two brick walls, I walked a small stone road with blue bamboo on both sides, even if I left the family dock and entered the house.

It had just rained, and the sky was washed blue.

The four courtyards are made of blue bricks and thick wooden walls, windows, and doors, in order to make it easy to ventilate in the humid heat of the south.

Ji Dali and Lao Siniang lived in the southernmost one, and Ji Dali's daughter-in-law Ye Niangzi and Lao Siniang's husband Liu Laocheng were waiting in front of the largest courtyard.

When they saw Ji Qingchen, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

One said that the yard was cleaned, the food was fragrant, and the bath water of the eldest lady was boiled.

A knife fish boat at home will dry the fourth coat of paint in half an hour, and the smell will be smoked. He called a few men to quickly spread the lichen and hang the curtains. The eldest lady can take the family boat to Hufu at night.

Ji Qingchen smiled and said his hard work, went into the courtyard, and asked the five mothers, Rui Niang, and Qiu Lan to follow Ye Niangzi to eat.

Liu Laocheng naturally went to step up the preparation of the ship, and he was going to travel in two hours.

She only drank a glass of pine nut dew that had been prepared a long time ago, then stripped off and bathed, entered the incense bath room, and sat down in the hot water bucket.

Wash away from exhaustion. She couldn't help but sigh:

Ji Dali's ability to marry a daughter-in-law. and Lao Siniang's ability to find a husband is extremely powerful.

Five years ago, Ji Dali, the manager of the stack, was still a bachelor when he left Tangfang alone.

He arrived in Mingzhou City. After listening to her commands, without saying a word, he entered the register of a converted person. After living for five years, he finally won the trust of a local family surnamed Ye in Mingzhou City and married his daughter Ye Niangzi to him.

Of course. is also because the dowry he gave is generous enough.

And Lao Siniang didn't mention it, she came here. It's been less than a year.

Her husband was separated from the floods of the Yellow River, and she was 36 years old and had no children.

But she didn't need her to remind her in advance, she arrived in Mingzhou. After figuring out the relationship between maritime merchants, he directly found himself an old steward who had retired from a shipyard in Mingzhou City.

Liu Lao is forty-two years old, because he saves some money because he works in the shipyard. After retiring from his job, he came out and bought thirteen small awning boats.

These boats are rented out in the Moon Lake in the north of the city, so that the people by the lake can take them to pick lings, ferry, and place guests on cruises.

I didn't expect the sea to rise at high tide. Moon Lake was also flooded, swallowing up more than half of his boat.

I told him to go to the shipyard again, and I couldn't stand that sin.

He rented three or four old boats on his hand, and at the same time worked as a helper by the Moon Lake, introducing the scenery to the guests of the cruise ship, and attracting some banquets, gambling, and rapping business.

That's why I met Ji Dali.

After Lao Siniang saw him a few times, without saying a word, she paid for ten boats for him and recruited him as her son-in-law.

Because Liu Laocheng was a Song person, Lao Siniang naturally entered the Song people's nationality.

And Tang Fang also bought Ji Yuan in the city through her name.

After all, even Ji Qingchen's current household registration is only a merchant who has been sealed and has not been naturalized.

After having this season garden, Liu Laocheng spent most of his time in this season garden to take care of his home port and go to the shipyard to buy ships.

Of course, Ye Niangzi followed Ji Dali and worked as a cook in Ji Garden, taking the two rough servants she hired.

……

After she bathed and changed her clothes, she went into the river house to make up.

On the white porcelain blue and white shelves in the room, there are three arm-thick butter white candlesticks, covered with crimson tulle gourd-shaped lampshades.

The bright color light waves illuminate the light and shadow of the boudoir near the water.

Ji Qingchen, who was sitting in front of the mirror, had long black hair that was half-dry, and couldn't help but sigh that the Mingzhou Sea merchant family was too much.

She knew that the merchants in Chunmingfang lit such butter candles with half a penny.

"Big lady, Chen Gongzi sent a letter over. said that he would go to Hufu later tonight. ”

Ye Niangzi was outside the door.

Behind the double-folded screen, Lao Siniang was wiping her hair and combing her hair. Li Qiulan is the most diligent, she has already eaten and cleaned up by herself. She was opening the cabinet and helping Ji Qingchen prepare her clothes. The other mothers and Rui Niang were still eating.

"Later?"

She's naturally a little weird.

With Chen Hong's temperament, of course, he wants to make more friends with the Hu family. Chen Wenchang had no reason to go late.

"It was said that the mountain chief of Siming Academy sent a post to Chen Gongzi and invited him to participate in a poetry meeting."

“……”

Ji Qingchen's heart moved, and he was still a little disgusted with Chen Wenchang on the river, and his thoughts of wasting all kinds of trouble for a spring banquet couldn't help but disappear.

"Embarrassed him. He's not used to us businessmen partying? ”

She smiled and sighed, and reached out to twist a strand of hair from the embroidered shoulder girdle on her shoulder,

"We don't make poems or write articles. With me, they invited the storyteller in the tile to come to me for a few sets of books, and there was no musician at the table. The rest is about the business of loading and selling. Gongzi Wenchang usually doesn't participate, right? ”

Lao Siniang combed her long hair, and was helping her open the jewelry box, when she also laughed and said:

"The eldest lady thought about it a lot. Even if he is a lifter, he is also a businessman, and I think he usually sees a lot of people at home. He paused, then laughed again. It's just that he prepared it himself, but it should be the first time. No wonder I can't figure out the rules. I have to ask clearly in front of the big lady. ”

"Are the people of the Chen family still there?"

Her heart also softened, and she listened to the little guy who was still the dragon commander sent outside, so she ordered,

"At this hour, he must have not eaten. Let him eat in the kitchen before leaving. Reward him with a good piece of material, let

Let's go back and make clothes. “

The dragon has been taken outside the courtyard gate, and has been passed by the girl. He heard the command from within. Hurriedly thanked him loudly.

"Let him come in and talk."

Yulong lowered his head and followed a servant woman under Ye Niangzi to the gate of the inner courtyard, and heard the woman's footsteps again.

He looked up cautiously. I saw the figures of four middle-aged old ladies walking along the corridor.

They all have a calm complexion, with pearl hairpin rings on their heads, gray blouses, and printed blue skirts.

One of them was older. His hair is gray, and his forehead is painted with a barbarian grass-green rune. Footsteps sounded, and another adoptive mother in her thirties still had charm catching up and following them.

Under her white silk robe, she wore a bare silk skirt with a large red embroidered bird branch. The head is obliquely inserted with a golden hairpin, and the face is proud. Her eyes were excellent and she immediately caught his gaze. He glared coldly.

The dragon hurriedly lowered his head and opened the Wa Niangzi's gaze.

He knew that it was the henchmen and mothers of the eldest lady of the Ji family. When the two families discussed the dowry, the eldest lady also specifically mentioned that her five mothers were going to follow her to marry.

Hearing that the tile lady lifted the green curtain on the door, he lowered his head and walked in.

Ji Ruiniang, whom he had seen before, suddenly ran in from behind him, turned her head and stuck out her tongue at him, ran in front, and disappeared after a while.

He also knew that this was the adopted daughter of the eldest lady, not an ordinary little girl.

He was just worried, thinking that the little girl from outside didn't know the rules in everyone.

She is the adopted daughter of the eldest lady of the Ji family, for her identity, the uncle and the son secretly discussed together, and the son said that he was not a concubine.

That's a serious daughter?

In the future, she will also be the master of his dragon pilot.

But she still seems to be used to calling him little brother.

It's not good to let him answer, and it's not good not to answer - Mrs. Ji looked at it, and she didn't mean to teach her.

Childe said that this is to let this little girl fall on her own and slowly realize it.

You can't let the big lady chew everything and feed it to her mouth.

The courtyard is not too big, and after turning two lattice doors, it is already the main house and the wing room of the living room.

The tile lady who led the way did not stop and went straight into the main house.

But he hesitated on the stone path at the foot of the main house, wondering how he had led him, an outsider, inside.

But I heard the voices of the adoptive mother and the female steward inside, and the sound of the water waves gradually cut into my ears, and it seemed that it was still behind the main house.

The sandalwood mixed in the butter lamp is also getting stronger and stronger.

He walked through the main room, descended the back steps, walked ten steps through the grass and mud, and stepped on the empty wooden floor.

Hearing the sound of water under the floor, he thought that Ji Qingchen was not living in the main house of the courtyard.

Behind the courtyard, there are several large river houses with ebony floating shelves erected on the river.

Although Jiyuan is not a famous garden near the Moon Lake in the north of the city, the south of the city is the seat of the government offices of the old city.

Chunmingfang is naturally one of the best locations in the city.

The front and back of the Jiyuan are rivers, and the river house is also adjacent to a stone arch bridge outside the entrance of Fuya Street.

The river houses on both sides of the state bridge are built by rich families who have occupied the river in recent years, and I heard that peach blossom trees are planted along the river, and they have been out of the city. It is connected to the peach blossom ferry outside the city.

In spring, it can be said that the flowers bloom for ten miles, and it is the place where the ladies of Mingzhou City like to take a boat to enjoy the spring.

Behind the courtyard is an ebony corridor, and a glass lamp hangs from the eaves every three steps.

Seeing that the glass lamp had been hung at the end of the corridor, although the glass in the rich man's house was not a rare thing, he was vaguely surprised.

Then think about it again, in the Nanfang mansion of Ji Chenhu in Tangfang, glazed utensils are more common than Song porcelain utensils. Thousands of glazed blue tiles are used on the roof. Childe said that the Tangfang workshop must produce glass.

The glass lamp gradually changed from a fat round shape to the shape of a petal, with the beauty and tranquility of the women's boudoir.

The tile lady who led the way suddenly snorted, and he peeked at the end of the corridor where the two middle-aged mothers he had just seen walked back.

They were followed by a stewardess.

He remembered what he had vaguely heard on the boat, that the tall woman was Mother Step, and the woman with a dark face was Mother Zhu.

The tile lady didn't say anything, he lowered his head even more, but saw the red lacquer double-layer food box they were carrying.

"Mother Jie, Mrs. Huang just came from Shaoxing Mansion yesterday, and she sent someone to ask our eldest lady. The Huang family's house is also on the shore of Moon Lake. I have found a boat to take you there. ”

The housekeeper Ye Niangzi smiled beside them.

Thinking that they had just arrived, although there was no order from the eldest lady, I still had to follow them. lest when they were ordered to go to Huang Gang's capital to bring food to Mrs. Huang, in case there was any rudeness, they would complain that she had not reminded her.

"Ye Niangzi stays."

Jieniangzi's Song language is extremely fluent, but it is not the Wuyin Chinese of the Song people, but more like the northern dialect of the Middle Ages.

"We will inevitably have small rudenesses, and Mrs. Huang is not an outsider. I'll say ours. The Huang family is not the Wang family. Didn't the eldest lady say that she would also send Miss Rui to live in the Yellow Mansion for half a year? ”

The dragon stood to the side, feeling the eyes of his mothers sweep over him.

On the one hand, the arrogant Wa Niangzi actually knew the rules, and didn't ask them where they were going in front of an outsider.

He naturally felt that although these women were outsiders, they were not from a maritime merchant family like the Siming Wang's family, after all, they were also old and sophisticated, and they knew the world. (To be continued) R580
