Chapter 120: Posting
The typhoon weather lasted for more than half a month, and it didn't gradually stop until late August, and Qian Yuan had no choice but to spend another Mid-Autumn Festival in Huating County, and then set off.
The two brothers of Lu Shusheng of the Lu family, two wives and concubines of Lu Shusheng, four servants, and four female dependents of the Tan family, the Lu family, the Huang family and Xiaomei, eighteen servants from the upper and lower levels, and a team of nearly thirty people left the city early in the morning.
Qian Yuan took care of everything early, eight carriages sailed to Qingpu County, took a boat from Dahuangpu to Xuedian Lake to Jiaxing, and then transferred to a carriage to the canal wharf of Tongxiang County, and then took a boat straight down to Hangzhou again.
Along the way, Qian Yuan was quite nervous, if nothing else, only three of the eight carriages were seated, and the other five were loaded with the belongings of the Lu family and the Qian family.
I don't know if the bandits of this era have that kind of ability...... Look at the tire prints on the ground to see if it's stone or silver!
This is still Qian Yuan's persuasion for a long time, and the Lu family and the Tan family put some of their belongings in Taozhai Town, only bringing a small part, I have to say that Qian Yuan has a strong ability to collect money for more than a year, and he has made a lot more money than in his previous life when he went to the sea to do business.
Qian Yuan muttered in his heart, don't say anything else, you must get the silver ticket out of this thing in this life!
The road was safe and sound, and they arrived in Hangzhou City smoothly, Yang Wen and Ma Steward commanded the unloading, and went to hire a carriage, and the group settled in the Jin Mansion.
Of course, it turned out to be a golden house, but now it has changed its name, and Qian Yuan still specially asked Zhang Juzheng to mention the word at that time.
"Food garden?" Lu Shude blinked, "Brother Yuan, this name?" ”
"It's good that the people live on food." Qian Yuan smiled and beckoned to the two guards who came out to greet them, "How is it?" ”
The two guards left behind last year saluted respectfully, "Young master, everything is ready, the bedding is new, and it was just sunburned yesterday." ”
The Lu family in the back nodded secretly, Brother Yuan had made arrangements along the way, and Hangzhou had already ordered it, and it can be seen from the small to the big.
"Hehe, hehe." Qian Yuan laughed dryly, took a few steps forward, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, I mean those ...... in the garden?"
"Oh, oh, oh, the pepper that the young master said grows well, and the old farmer was specially invited to take care of it, but the melon seeds are ......"
Qian Yuan nodded with satisfaction, it's normal that sunflowers can't grow, that thing was exposed to the sun by Yang Wen at that time, as long as there are chili peppers......
The servants went to unload, tidy up, and drove the carriage in through the side door, while the rest followed Qian Yuan into the house through the main gate.
Everyone just bypassed the wall, they couldn't help but be stunned, the pace slowed down, what appeared in front of them was a delicate and exquisite garden, although the sparrows are small, the rockery and flowing water, the courtyard corridor, everything.
The little sister giggled and ran forward, the two maids hurriedly followed behind, Tan covered her mouth in disbelief, and suddenly looked back at Qian Yuan, she suddenly woke up, although she still doesn't know what her son did in Hangzhou last year, but it must not be an easy thing to earn this garden.
"This is what the five hundred taels of silver were exchanged for?" Lu shook his head with a smile, "Your uncle mentioned it in his letter, and it is said that it scared Mr. Gu a lot?" ”
"Teacher, that's a false reward." Qian Yuan shrugged, "Uncle and mother will stay for the time being, if you want to go to Huizhou Mansion in the future......"
"I'm not going." The smile on Lu's face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a straight face: "Your uncle is living a fairy life in Huizhou Mansion, so I won't dislike people." ”
Qian Yuan laughed dryly twice and did not persuade again, his uncle took a fifteen-year-old concubine in Huizhou Mansion, and it is said that Hua Rongyue is still pregnant.
In this regard, Qian Yuan is both a junior and a man, so there is really no way to persuade him......
Looking back at Lu Shusheng, who was being supported by a concubine in his twenties, Qian Yuan's mind was full of thoughts.
"Brother Yuan." Lu Shude smiled and leaned over, "This garden is so beautiful, is the place where I live far away from here?" ”
Although he agreed to move to Hangzhou, Lu Shusheng, a strong old man, wanted to save face, and he insisted that he would not live in the Qian family's house, after all, it was really not decent to live in the house of his married daughter.
"It's not far away, it's just down the street." Qian Yuan replied casually, and his eyes fell on the field that had been specially cleaned up at the back of the garden.
Yang Wen, who was following behind, saw the red patch, and couldn't help but move his Adam's apple, "Young Master, you can almost pick it, right?" ”
"Hungry?" Qian Yuan snorted disdainfully, swallowed his saliva before waving his hand, "Young Master, I'll cook it myself!" ”
What should you do...... Stir-fried shredded pork with chili is a bit ordinary, and it doesn't show your skill!
Spicy chicken? I hadn't done this in my previous life......
Remember to make some chili powder, and you have to make some chili sauce and chili oil...... I still remember that sentence, I want chili oil......
Although I was curious about this exquisite garden, the group was tired from the journey and entered the courtyard at the back, and after sitting down, there was another sigh of admiration.
Lu Shusheng, who had not spoken much, played with the chicken bowl cup and admired it, and the energetic little sister ran around with two maids, causing Lu to give a few words from time to time.
Although the Lu family was barren in the early years, it has developed since Lu Shusheng's middle lift, and Lu and Lu Shude have extraordinary eyesight, and were surprised to find that the furniture, ornaments, and even the paintings hanging on the walls in the hall, side rooms, and inner rooms are all fine.
"It's really only five hundred taels of silver?" The Lu family couldn't help but find Qian Yuan to confirm again, "This set of mahogany furniture is more than five hundred taels of silver!" ”
"Repay virtue with virtue, how can you repay grievances?" Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt can rest assured." ”
Hearing this, Lu Shi took a deep look at his nephew, it seems that the origin of this mansion is not very bright.
That night, Qian Yuan fulfilled his promise to cook in person, and Lu Shusheng, Lu's and Tan's all tasted it, but Lu Shude and Xiaomei all ate it in large chunks, obviously spicy to young people's appetite.
After dinner, Lu asked the maid to cook tea, and the two families sat down in the side room to chat, but Qian Yuan was not so leisurely and elegant, he would soon return to Songjiang, and he needed to arrange everything for a few days left.
"Young Master." Yang Wen approached and reported in a low voice, "It's been counted, and it's all right." ”
"That's good." Qian Yuan nodded, "Although these two people have not experienced the two battles of Jiading and Chongde, they guard the gate and protect the courtyard, their hands and feet are clean, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." ”
After a pause, Qian Yuan walked away to the side and asked people to call the two people who stayed behind, one was Zhao Qisan and the other was Liu Dazhuang, both of whom were tenants of the Qian family.
"What's going on with Hangzhou guerrilla Qi Jiguang?" Qian Yuan frowned and asked, "But you guys are disrespectful?" ”
At the beginning of the month, Qian Yuan received a letter from the Wang family, and the Qi family did not live in this mansion, but chose the house that Qi Jiguang had rented before.
"Nope...... Young master, the guerrilla general's face was very ugly, but his wife and brother liked it very much. Zhao Qisan said aggrievedly: "After a walk, I left...... Didn't say anything. ”
"Know where they live?"
"Yes, yes."
"That's good......" Before Qian Yuan could say the following words, he saw Zhang San rushing over.
"Young master, someone voted for the post."
Qian Yuan was surprised, he had only been on his feet for two or three hours, who was so well-informed?
took the post and opened it and looked at it, Qian Yuan sighed twice, it is worthy of being a character who has left a great reputation in history, even if his reputation is not obvious now, but just this keenness, he knows that his reputation is well deserved.
The poster was Hu Zongxian, the prefect of Hangzhou.
