Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 208 The Gentleman on the Liang
Unlike Zhenyuan Village, which is thirty miles away, it did not rain in Ningdu today.
That black cloud only touched a little edge of the sky above Ningdu, so the city of Ningdu was still very clean.
Although Ningdu is the capital of Great Xia, not all places are paved with stone slabs, and there are still some partial alleys with dirt roads.
As soon as it rains, the shoes of pedestrians walking on the dirt road will be stained with yellow mud, and the original stone road will also be stained with mud.
In the past few days, Xu Xiang has been arranging everything in the house.
First of all, the paper mill and the blacksmith shop, as well as the processing plant for gnawing chickens, were to be moved from the three houses to the Yellow River beach.
Secondly, all the displaced people who were taken in should also be resettled. Now there are enough houses in the temporary residential area of the Yellow River Beach for them to live in.
Also, those who promised the Long family before, the 50,000 displaced people outside the Xuanwu Gate, as well as the other displaced people at the city gate, must be resettled to the Yellow River beach.
Now that the Yellow River beach has basically stepped into the track he has set up, it is fully capable of resettling these displaced people.
In order to build the Yellow River Tan Town more quickly, manpower and material resources are indispensable.
Fortunately, this time I went to Chenghuan Pavilion, not only did I not post money to Cui Mi, but I instead bought three or four hundred thousand taels of wool from Mingjing.
One second to rememberhttps://.cc
He originally thought that Mingjing would not give up on this matter, so he didn't plan to use it yet, and found a chance to return it to him.
How did he know that the nobles of Ningdu had accumulated a lot of money in their hands over the years, and Ming Jing used the gambling game this time to circle nearly 20 million taels of silver, and Xu Xiangxu went to this mere 300,000 or 400,000 taels, and Ming Jing didn't have the heart to pay attention to it at all.
After all, Ming Jing had already entered Sichuan secretly with the silver now.
Until today, Cui Mi came to complain that Chenghuan Pavilion was closed, and he had nowhere to play, so he came to Xu Xiang to learn gambling skills.
Xu Xiang casually found an excuse to send him away, and then he was relieved to use the money.
After dinner, Xu Xiang returned to the house.
As early as the day they returned to Ningdu, Jiang Shenyu moved to his main house and slept in the same bed with him.
Although he had already pierced the window paper with Jiang Shenyu, he did not take any further action.
Jiang Shenyu's menstrual affair is one of the reasons, but there is one more important reason, that is, Jing'er is like a lingering ghost and moved to the second bedroom of the main house.
It's embarrassing!
When I go to bed at night, Jing'er is in the second bedroom, how can I sleep here?
He knew that according to the tradition of Great Xia, Jing'er was strictly a maid to marry. After the hostess shares the room with the man, she also has to serve in the second bedroom.
In ancient times, when people married girls, they would generally bring one or two dowry maids over. Only in this way, when the inconvenient days for women came, I was afraid that the man would not be able to bear the loneliness and go out, so he came up with a miraculous operation to replace the woman with a wedding maid.
Jiang Shenyu has been in the past few days, although he hugged him and fell asleep, but he saw that he always couldn't sleep well, thinking that his male masculinity was too strong, and he also put forward a proposal to let Jing'er sleep.
But he sternly refused!
Just kidding, it's already very difficult to really accept Jiang Shenyu, and if you want to add Jing'er, it's better to kill him directly!
As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Jiang Shenyu and Jing'er fighting, as if they were talking about something interesting.
Seeing Xu Xiang, the two immediately stopped.
"Young master, I'm ...... I'll go back to my room first. Jing'er blushed and said.
"What's wrong with her?" Xu Xiang was stunned, he didn't know what Jing'er was blushing about, and he hadn't blushed when he saw herself.
"Changsha, come here, I have something to tell you." Jiang Shenyu lowered his head and said softly.
He walked over, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and casually asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Jiang Shenyu whispered: "That...... I can. ”
He took a sip of the water in the cup and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's okay?" ”
"That's the ......"
Xu Xiang felt that when he was eating dinner just now, he had eaten too much barbecue, and his mouth was still a little thirsty, so he poured water and asked, "Which one?" ”
Jiang Shenyu was so stunned that his face blushed to the root of his ears, and he said shyly: "That's it!" ”
"I don't understand!" He took a sip of water and said blankly.
Jiang Shenyu was anxious, blushed, and whispered: "That's it, my menstrual affair has passed!" We can ......."
"Poof!" He took half a sip of water and squirted out at the sound of her words, while some of the water that reached his throat choked him.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" He couldn't help coughing, his throat choking on water.
Jiang Shenyu hurriedly walked to his side, patted him on the back, helped him smooth the water choking in his throat, and said reproachfully: "You said you, drink water, ...... carelessly"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Xu Xiang was embarrassed.
Now, Jiang Shenyu said it directly, meaning that it couldn't be more obvious.
However, you are a girl, is it really good to be so proactive?
At this moment, he was instigated.
"What, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to tell Xu Cheng." Xu Xiang stood up, trying to escape.
"It's getting late, what's the matter, you can talk about it tomorrow!" Jiang Shenyu muttered and said unhappily.
"It's a very important thing! I'm going to make it clear to him now! It's too late tomorrow! Xu Xiang walked towards the outside of the house, and added without looking back: "I may have to delay for a long time, you can sleep first, don't wait for me!" ”
"Humph!" Jiang Shenyu was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Xu Xiang walked into the courtyard and suddenly didn't know where to go. He said that looking for Xu Yi was just an excuse, where was there really something.
It's just that, at this point, except for the few servants who take care of the house, the rest of the people are asleep, even if he wants to talk to someone, he doesn't have time.
Just when he didn't know where to go, suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps beside him.
He looked back and found that it was Zhai Ling'er.
"Miss Ling'er? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Xu Xiang asked curiously.
"It's Xu Gongzi. Your Majesty said that I was a little hungry, so let me go and get some food. Zhai Ling'er replied.
"Oh, these things, just find someone to do them in the kitchen! Why bother to let Miss Ling'er come over in person! What would Your Majesty like to eat? It just so happens that I have time now, why don't you let me cook it myself and cook some delicious food for Your Majesty? Xu Xiang proposed.
A gleam flashed in Zhai Ling'er's eyes, and she said happily: "Xu Gongzi's craftsmanship is so exquisite, if he can cook himself, His Majesty must be very happy." ”
"What's the matter, it's my honor to cook some food for Your Majesty!" He said modestly.
"Let's go, Aunt Ling'er......"
Before he finished his words, Zhai Ling'er suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him to the rockery next to him.
"Miss Ling'er, you ......"
Zhai Ling'er covered his mouth and whispered, "Shh, there is a gentleman on the beam." ”
Xu Xiang nodded, she let go, he breathed a long sigh of relief, followed the direction of her gaze, and saw a dark shadow appear above the roof of the house.
"I didn't expect anyone to dare to steal from my Xu family!" Xu Xiang said secretly in his heart, it just so happens that tonight is fine, and it is quite interesting to catch a thief.
The black shadow was on the roof, as if walking on the ground, as fast as running, and did not make a sound, which showed that it was very light.
"Let's go! Let's sneak along! Zhai Ling'er whispered.
The two secretly followed, and found that the dark shadow was heading in the direction of the guest room.
"He's going to steal Jolor?" A flash of doubt flashed in his heart, and Qiao Luoer was the only one living in the guest room now.
Qiao Luoer's room was pitch black, and when Xu Xiang was thinking about whether to capture the thief, he saw that the black shadow jumped lightly, fell, walked to Qiao Luoer's door, and knocked lightly on the door.
"This thief still knocks on the door?" A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Xiang's mind.
