In the south of Daxiangguo Temple, close to the bluestone square of Baokang Gate, here is the market closest to the outside of the old city, because of the crowded relationship, it is different from those commercial markets, the streets are wide, and there are unique small buildings, but dense, like a hornet's nest, there are many houses.

Even if the house bought in the early Song Dynasty, the children were born from generation to generation, and the generations were married, and those who have the ability, of course, will rebuild a main house elsewhere, or in the new city, but if they do not have the ability, they can only ask for it from the original, divide it into small rooms, and build a house with stitches, which has also become a unique scene in many poor markets.

The streets have long been narrowed to the extent that they can only accommodate one car, and there are not many people here, and as for the environmental and sanitary conditions, they are also the worst, and the cross-flow of sewage is a common sight.

Diao Xiaoyu spent almost 1 hour successfully finding out the goods he had consigned, loaded them into a carriage, and then went all the way to Bianliang City along the train station.

The railway station is outside Bianliang City, about 5 kilometers away from the city gate, the road environment is quite good, and he quickly arrived at the city gate.

It is a little difficult to enter the city, after all, this is the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and all the city gates are heavily guarded.

Diao Xiaoyu is not a businessman, all his goods have been certified by the Dinghai Navy, and at the same time, they are also replaced at the consignment, otherwise, he must also pay a commercial tax.

However, entering the city is to be given, the head money and the money for the goods, not much, or 150 Wen, which also saves the money for the carriage, because the carriage belongs to the freight of the railway station, which has been recorded here.

The forbidden army at the city gate was relatively idle today, and he was not surprised when he saw Diao Xiaoyu's carriage, but according to the rules, he verified all kinds of bills, and then let him enter the city, that is, at the moment of leaving, he heard a slightly envious word: "Another one, is it really so easy to make money over there!" ”

Diao Xiaoyu had a sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it, it's really easy to earn, and you will definitely be satisfied if you go.

In Kaifeng Mansion, he has left countless case records, how dare Diao Xiaoyu stay here longer, it's easy to say a word, in case you are here, you meet someone who doesn't like you, then what should I do, this is not a fixed navy, everything has a law to follow, a small people, maybe a few forbidden troops can't do anything about you, a petty official, it's enough for you to know, why are the flowers so red.

Entering Bianliang, through two gates in the middle, respectively, the new city and the old city gate, the former one wastes a little time, the back one, but only a little inquest, it is released, the time spent in the middle is not long, but it always delays a lot of time.

When I got off the train, it was about 5 o'clock in the morning, almost 6 o'clock, but when I really entered the inside from the Baokang Gate, it was already 9 o'clock, and almost 3 hours passed.

Entering the Baokang Gate, to the bluestone workshop, it is not very far, the bluestone workshop is about a mile away from the city wall, but the road is difficult to walk.

Stumbling all the way, when entering the bluestone workshop, it was almost an hour, the coachman's face was a little bad, I thought that such a big car of things, should be a rich and noble family, who knows, but to such a slum.

Front, how to say, there is still a way to go, after entering the bluestone workshop, the more you go inside, the more difficult it is to walk, now, a large pool of water in front, at the same time, there are a large number of sundries to cover the driver to see, some embarrassed, tell Diao Xiaoyu, can't go.

Diao Xiaoyu actually knows that the state of Qingshifang here, he has never gone out since he was a child, how can he not be clear, but after being in Shenyang for so long, I heard that the Northern Song Dynasty has changed a lot, and I want to come, Qingshifang should also be cleaned up, who knows that it is still like this.

Diao Xiaoyu didn't know that in fact, about the renovation of the entire Bianliang old city, as well as the clean-up plan, it has been put on the Kaifeng Mansion plan, and it is ready to invest 20 million yuan for the rectification of the old city of Kaifeng Mansion, but now it is just a plan, unless it is a large amount of management fees, otherwise, there is not enough money, this plan is just a joke.

This location is close enough from Diao Xiaoyu's home, about 70 meters in a straight line, and the road is 100 meters, but you can't get around here, so many things in the car, do you want to move it yourself? Looking at the appearance of the coachman, I'm afraid don't think about it.

Just as he was about to call someone to go to the house to make a notice, at this time, he saw a familiar figure at the corner of the street.

Dressed in shabby clothes, with his hands in his sleeves, in the cold wind, on the corner of the street, looking out from time to time.

This person is none other than Diao Xiaoyu's sixth brother, who is only two years older than him and runs a hall in a small restaurant.

"Sixth brother!" Diao Xiaoyu got out of the car and screamed loudly.

Sixth brother Diao Xiaojiang turned his head, his face was confused, and then it seemed that the scar on his face reminded him, he stepped forward quickly and said loudly: "Xiao Qi, is it really you, we thought that bastard was a lie!" ”

Diao Xiaojiang ran in front of him and was about to hug Diao Xiaoyu fiercely, but suddenly, he felt the dirtiness on his clothes, and he was stunned for a moment, where was the dry frame, which looked extremely embarrassing.

But Diao Xiaoyu couldn't care about those, and hugged Diao Xiaojiang in his arms, the sixth brother was the closest to him, and the one who helped him the most was the sixth brother, and even because of this, he had a big quarrel with the sixth sister-in-law and almost had a problem. These bits and pieces of things, Diao Xiaoyu remembers.

"I said, you're enough, hurry up and unload the things, where to put them!"

The relationship between the two brothers was directly interrupted by the coachman, which made Diao Xiaoyu realize the situation, thought for a while, and said, "Sixth brother, are the brothers all there?" ”

"It's all there!" Diao Xiaojiang subconsciously said for a moment, then shook his head again, and said, "Only the eldest brother and the fourth brother, they also went to the north!" ”

"Went to the North too?" Diao Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, he seemed to think of something a month ago, at that time, the entire Dinghai Navy accepted 3 million laborers from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was publicized at that time, he didn't expect that there were his eldest brother and fourth brother, but unfortunately they were thousands of miles apart, and it was inconvenient to come and go, even if he wanted to report it.

But if the eldest brother and the fourth brother are all in this batch, they won't be able to come back for the Chinese New Year this year, go back and ask, where they are assigned, and find them when the time comes, even if they meet in Shenyang.

Because of the coachman's urging, I didn't care about saying anything, a family of 7 brothers, 2 left, and 5, as well as the eldest brother and the second brother's nephew, the eldest brother is almost 20 years older than Diao Xiaoqi, the eldest son is older than Diao Xiaoqi, the second brother's family is almost the same as Diao Xiaoqi, a family of more than ten young men, for seven or eight hundred pounds of things, just one or two trips.

Diao Xiaojiang roared, and more than a dozen young men came out, which made the coachman startled, he was glad that just now, he didn't speak ill of him, otherwise, in a place like Qingshifang, he was beaten, and there was nowhere to reason.

A group of people greeted each other lively, especially the fifth brother and several nephews, because of the age difference, the relationship was better, but the second brother and the third brother, who were older, just said hello briefly, and then buried their heads in moving things.

A cart of things, slightly distributed, are all young men in the prime of life, and they are quickly distributed, because when they are consigned, they have been packed and packaged, and it is relatively easy to move, but I can't see what is inside.

The second brother also inquired, but Diao Xiaoyu didn't say, anyway, after going back, he would know.

A group of people slightly forward, around a corner, to the front of the house, this is a small courtyard, only one entry, but not small, the great-grandfather was also born in the forbidden army, otherwise he would not be able to live in Bianlianglai, in this more remote, but close to the camp to buy a house, the area is of course large.

It's a pity that over the years, under the scattered branches, they have been separated and moved away, and now there are only two households.

One is Diao Xiaoyu's family, which is a big family, dozens of people, and the other is the third uncle's family, who is a brother to Diao Xiaoyu's grandfather.

Both sides are everyone, and they are dozens of people, which makes the courtyard itself very spacious become crowded.

In a courtyard about half an acre in size, dozens of houses were built, almost every one of which had an attic.

Even if it is a brick and wood structure, it is possible to build an attic, find some wood to build it, some extreme, and even have three floors, such a building, it is really windy, it is easy to fall.

This is the slum of Bianliang, even if Diao Xiaoyu is mentally prepared, but seeing it, it still makes him sigh, he can't help but think of his home in Shenyang, which is a spacious and bright house close to 200 square meters, and it is two-thirds the size of this courtyard.

However, Diao Xiaoyu knows that this is impossible, the bluestone workshop itself is narrow, and the people who live in it are poor, and those who can go out have already gone out, who still lives in the bluestone workshop, even if it is so dense, he did not have a room back then, when he was young, he was with the fifth brother and the sixth brother, and later, with the marriage of the fifth brother and the sixth brother, the fifth brother built an attic above the second brother, and the sixth brother had no choice.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw the old lady standing in the middle of the courtyard, supported by the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, a little sadness welled up in my heart, Diao Xiaoyu fell directly to the ground, and said loudly: "The child is not filial, he came back late!" ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" The old lady's trembling voice fell, and the mother was worried, even if it was the eldest and third, he was also worried, but the most worried was this little son, the eldest and the third were taken away, and the youngest was arrested, can this be the same?

Now it seems that not only has he come back safely, but he has also changed his appearance, and he seems to be much more stable.

After half a year of study and tempering, Diao Xiaoyu's temperament has undergone fundamental changes, and he is no longer as stingy as before.

After all, in Bianliang, he was born at the bottom of Qingshifang, and he didn't rely on a little ruffian, how could he survive at the bottom like a knife.

Diao Xiaoyu himself is not bad, and he will not persecute the family, but his brother is okay to say, those sisters-in-law sometimes have some whispers, Diao Xiaoyu himself is a gangster, how can he give them a good look, there are still many contradictions.

However, this time, when I returned home from afar, even the third sister-in-law who had the worst relationship was accompanied by a smiling face, no way, when Kaifeng Mansion drew one from 3, there were a total of 11 strong men in their family, and it stands to reason that 4 should be transferred, and thanks to Diao Xiaoqi, who went ahead of time, he finally drew two.

These two are drawn by everyone, of course, the eldest took the initiative to go, he has a total of three sons, no way, the third child has no son, but he was drawn, and there is no way, so he can only follow.

People who have never even been out of Bianliang suddenly ran thousands of miles away, no matter how good Kaifeng Mansion said, they were always a little worried in their hearts.

Finally, when he got the opportunity, he asked Diao Xiaoyu, but he didn't expect that Diao Xiaoyu glanced at it with his big hand and said, "Okay, of course it's good to go, if the eldest brother and the third brother settle down, take you all here!" ”

Diao Xiaoyu has always pressed this sentence in his heart, and finally at this time, he had the opportunity to say it, but he didn't expect that after getting such a reply, there was no way for her husband to go, just like joining the army, they had to go, why did they go to the land of Huhan, the third sister-in-law suddenly changed color, and was about to say a few words, but was persuaded by the sister-in-law, and then the sister-in-law simply said a few words to Diao Xiaoyu, which made Diao Xiaoyu angry.

directly took out the gifts, which were for the old mother, for each family, and for each nephew and niece.

Before, carrying these things, many brothers were already muttering in their hearts, you know, half a year ago, when Diao Xiaoyu set off, but he was poor and white, and the money was left, he didn't even bring some food, so he set off, and he was able to take so many things back in half a year, even if they were worthless, this is also amazing.

Although they don't have much knowledge, they still have basic judgments, and they can't take down such a piece of clothing on Diao Xiaoyu's body.

In this way, no matter whether the north is bitter or not, it is certain to make money.

But when Diao Xiaoyu took out the gift for the old lady, it immediately dazzled everyone's eyes, Diao Xiaoyu did not prepare many gifts for the old lady, a sable coat, a commodity carved grey cloth, a set of gold jewelry, and other bits and pieces, a whole big box.

A lot of money was spent, about 150 guan, which is a lot of expenditure, but this expenditure is in the workers' store, and at the same time, it is still obtained according to the advanced qualifications of level 7 workers, if it is not discounted, I am afraid it will also exceed 220 guan, and it is even more expensive in the Northern Song Dynasty.

There are mink skins in the Northern Song Dynasty, and sables also have them, but this thing can be worn by people in Qingshifang, not to mention gold jewelry, even the sister-in-law who controls the economic power of the family stayed for a while, she calculated slightly, and said that mink, cloth and gold jewelry, these three things, in the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it is not worth 400 yuan, how long has Xiao Qi been out, this money is too easy to earn.
