Chapter 637: It's like a world away
Weishui Wharf, although it was already a little cold, but the coolies were busy wearing thin clothes.
Some still have sweat on their foreheads.
Since the dredging of the river from Chang'an to Luoyang, the Weishui Wharf has become busier.
Nowadays, in order to make it easier and faster for the materials of the state capitals in Shannan Province and Jiangnan Province to flow to Chang'an, the imperial court has been considering connecting the waterways of Chang'an City with the Han River.
If this project is realized, then Datang will be able to connect the Yangtze River, the Han River, the Huai River and the Grand Canal, and make the country's transportation hub more sound.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Gu Panpan.
Now, she has just gotten off the boat, and she is still adapting to the rhythm of Chang'an City.
"Little lady, this time the owner really allows you to stay in Chang'an all the time?"
When the housekeeper Gu Lei saw Gu Panpan coming to Chang'an City, he was a big head.
As the person in charge of the Gu family in Chang'an City, Gu Lei was already very busy.
Now that Gu Panpan is running over, he will definitely add a lot of chaos to him.
The most important thing is that he can't convince her.
"Steward Gu, not only did my Aya agree, but my A-Niang also had no opinion. Nowadays, the new river boats under the East China Sea Fishery are half faster than the previous ships, and it takes less than ten days from Chang'an City to Yangzhou, so it is very convenient to go back and forth. ”
Gu Panpan was forced to leave Chang'an before, with her character, how could she stay in Yangzhou City obediently?
During this time, Gu Panpan was tossing in his hometown, which made Gu Lian, the county magistrate of Jiangdu County, have his hair turn white.
Today, with a few guards, he "acted bravely" and beat up a certain Langjun on the road.
Tomorrow at a poetry meeting, the words are amazing, and there is no image of everyone's girlfriends at all.
The day after tomorrow, he simply took out his private money to set up a girls' academy to recruit women to study.
Although the Gu family has a big business in Jiangnan, it is not a one-handed cover.
He Gu Lian still has a lot of Shangguan on his head.
There are also many jokes about the family in Yangzhou City.
There was no way, Gu Lian had to "take the initiative" to ask Gu Panpan to go to Chang'an City to inspect the family's industry.
When Gu Panpan boarded the ship that left Yangzhou City, Gu Lian was not only reluctant, but also had a long-lost feeling of relief.
That kind of mood is like the future generations, parents send their children to school on September 1 every year.
The mythical beast that has been tossing for a summer vacation is finally coming out of the cage.
"Since that's what the owner means, let's go directly to Lanlingfang in a while. I have already purchased a house there as our Gu family's residence in the capital, and now the little lady has just moved in. ”
Although Gu Lei had a big head for a while, Gu Lian was such a daughter, he couldn't listen to Gu Panpan's words if he didn't want to.
"No, let's go directly to the Chu Wangfu Courtyard. There are so many houses in the Chu Palace, and there is no one I live in. ”
Gu Lei: ......
It's not bad for you to live!
However, you are a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, and you are not related to Li Kuan, and you have lived there for a long time......
Gu Lei felt that his head had swelled all of a sudden.
"Little lady, look, is that the bicycle mentioned in the newspaper?"
Just as Gu Panpan followed Gu Lei's steps and walked towards the carriage, Xiao Fang, the maidservant girl behind him, pointed not far away with an excited face.
"This is the patrol officer of Weishui Wharf, and the police department has specially equipped them with bicycles."
Seeing Gu Panpan looking at the team curiously, Gu Lei was very responsible as a commentator.
"Patrolman? Bicycle? Sure enough, these two are very efficient. ”
Although Gu Panpan has been away from Chang'an City for a while, because the newspaper of "Datang Daily" has already connected its distribution channels to the main state capitals, Gu Panpan has heard about many things that have happened in Chang'an City.
Now it's just a matter of combining what I've heard with reality.
"Indeed, I heard that the security situation in Chang'an County has been much better recently. The police station not only arranged more personnel to patrol the streets, but also set up several special teams, and I heard that there are other criminal investigation teams, patrol teams, special service teams, trial teams, and so on. Once someone goes to the police station to report a crime, it is often quick to get the result. ”
The positioning of the police station is destined to pay special attention to the businesses in Chang'an City.
After all, no one is sure when they will have to deal with them, so it doesn't hurt to know in advance.
"I've only been away from Chang'an City for less than a year, how do I feel like I've come to a world again?"
After Gu Panpan boarded the carriage, he directly lifted the curtain and looked at the changing scene outside.
And Gu Lei sat in front of the coachman, answering all kinds of questions to Gu Panpan at any time.
"If you want to talk about changes, this period is really quite big. For example, the patrol officers and bicycles are visible at a glance, and there are many things that no one notices. For example, the newly opened cotton cloth shops, honey shops, cottonseed oil shops, and new clothing shops in the east and west cities are not the same as before. ”
Gu Lei also felt dazzled by the changes in Chang'an City, and felt a little unable to catch up with the changes.
"Crunch, squeak!"
Just as Gu Lei was talking, there was a sound like a rat eating from inside the carriage.
"Little lady, you taste it, this thing seems to be delicious."
Xiao Fang's body shape is completely opposite to Gu Panpan.
In Datang, being able to eat this weight really shows that the Gu family treats their subordinates, and it is really not mean at all.
Xiaofang's weight alone is estimated to be as good as two Gu Panpan.
This is still the case where Gu Panpan is more than half a head taller than Xiaofang.
"Hey, it seems pretty good."
Gu Panpan took the food handed over by Xiao Fang, and ate a few more bites a little unexpectedly.
"Little lady, that's the instant noodles I specially asked people to buy, you can eat them dry, or you can soak them in hot water, and they will directly become a bucket of noodles. This kind of instant noodles that use pine boxes to pack them is a high-end product produced by the most popular 'Master Kong' brand instant noodles in Chang'an City. ”
Gu Lei didn't have to look inside the carriage to know what Gu Panpan and Xiaofang were talking about.
Since the birth of instant noodles a few months ago, it has spread rapidly in some areas of the lobby in a short period of time.
For example, if you have a carriage at home, you will usually have some on top of the carriage in case you need it.
"Instant noodles? I've heard of this stuff in Yangzhou, but it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful instant noodle in a pine box. ”
"This is something that Master Kong only pushed out recently, and it has not yet circulated to Yangzhou City, which is also normal."
On the way to the annex of the Chu Palace, Gu Lei kept introducing the changes in Chang'an City to Gu Panpan during this time.
If he knew about these changes, he would have strengthened Gu Panpan's determination to stay in Chang'an, and he would probably have become dumb a long time ago and wouldn't say anything.
