Chapter 4 Song Dynasty
On the day of the first lunar month, the evening came very early, and the cold wind was blowing from the north, and it was already the time for the first time to put on the lights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiaolian walked forward with Zhao Jue, and some of the servants saw Xiaolian, and they all saluted respectfully and greeted her, calling her Sister Xiaolian, and it could be seen that Xiaolian's status in the Li Mansion was still good.
In the bright lights, Zhao Yu followed behind Xiaolian, staring at the swaying back of the little girl with a pair of eyes, and muttered in his heart: "It's a pity that it's a cold day, and the clothes are too thick, and I can't see the specific figure of this girl, so I'll give her a score of seventy-five for the time being."
Walking all the way to the west for a while, a small courtyard appeared in front, and there was a family member in the yard carrying a bucket and holding a broom out, and when he saw Xiaolian, he bent down and said, "Miss Xiaolian, the cleaning is finished."
Xiaolian nodded, and the family left.
"The house that was originally given to the steward was full, this house was originally for guests, but then new guest rooms were built, so it has been empty, although it is a bit off, but the environment is not bad, you will live here first."
After entering the courtyard and looking into the house, Xiaolian explained a few words and left first.
When Zhao Yi was the only one left in the house, he finally let out a long breath, walked to the window, opened the window, and looked outside.
In the night, you can see the core area of the Li Mansion from a distance, the lights are shining there, and the voice of the maid and servant can be faintly heard along the night wind.
The shadowy shadows of the trees, the blurred lights, the old buildings, and the figures on the path that are gradually leaving, all tell Zhao Zhu that this is a real world, a world of flesh and blood, with historical accumulation, and not appearing out of thin air.
"Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou ......", Zhao Zhu felt painful: "I didn't expect such a ridiculous fable to happen to me, crossed?" What the hell...... ".
But no matter how much he complained, the atmosphere, and the pain, he couldn't change this fact. Traveled over, traveled to ancient times, what era it was, he still didn't know.
He tossed and turned for most of the night, and it was almost dawn that he fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes the next day, Zhao Jue hoped that he had returned to reality, but when he saw it, the old wooden roof, the tables and chairs with traces of time, and the delicate and beautiful porcelain teacups on the table all disappointed him.
"Zhao Qi, have you gotten up?"
Outside the small courtyard, Xiaolian's voice sounded.
Only then did Zhao Ji remember that she told herself yesterday to get up early, and she was going to start her internship today.
"Oh, get up!".
Zhao Jue responded, and hurriedly put clothes on his body, but after putting on it for a long time, he found that it was no longer his T-shirt, but a blue cotton robe, so he clumsily buttoned it.
Xiaolian stood outside, her pretty face slightly stretched, the corners of her mouth pursed, staring at the door. There were also two maids beside Xiaolian, and when they saw Xiaolian's expression, they were so frightened that they held their breath and didn't dare to make the slightest movement.
They quietly glanced at each other, and they both saw the information in each other's eyes: Sister Xiaolian was angry.
"Squeak ......", the door opened, and Zhao Jue walked out.
"Poof".
As soon as they saw Zhao Yu, the two maids couldn't help laughing, but in a blink of an eye, they saw that Xiaolianqiao's face turned black, and they hurriedly covered their lips with their hands again.
"Uh, what are you laughing at?" , Zhao Jue said at a loss.
A maid reminded in a low voice: "Zhao Zhu, your clothes are worn backwards."
"Is it the other way around?" , Zhao Yi looked down, and sure enough, what was exposed outside was the pink lining, which was more vivid than the peach blossoms in March.
Zhao Jie's face turned red instantly, he looked up and smiled at Xiaolian, and hurriedly returned to the house and put on it again.
By the time everything was ready, half an hour had passed.
Zhao Jue came out and said with an embarrassed face: "Miss Xiaolian, I've kept you waiting for a long time, mainly because of the ...... clothes."
"I don't have to eat in the morning, let's go".
As soon as Xiaolian turned around, she left with the two maids.
Zhao Jue was surprised, and finally felt Xiaolian's domineering in the Li Mansion, he shook his head, smiled bitterly and whispered: "The little girl has a big temper, dare to give me a face, okay, a meal, I remember."
Coming out of his residence, he walked around the huge Li Mansion for a while, and not far away, a warehouse of considerable scale appeared.
The servants of the household were busy coming and going, some of them were moving goods out, some were buying goods from in, some were bookkeeping, and some were reprimanding people with black faces.
"Our Song Dynasty human nature likes to drink tea, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, tea is also a necessity for us ...... life."
Xiaolian opened her mouth and slowly explained the current business of Li Fuzhong.
And Zhao Jue was excited, raised his head suddenly, staring at Xiaolian with bright eyes, and there was a trace of excitement in the depths of his eyes.
"Song Dynasty ......".
He finally knew the era he was in, the Song Dynasty, which can be said in the history books, the Song Dynasty was a very rich era, graceful and prosperous, and the most historical.
"It turns out that I arrived in the Song Dynasty, that's not bad, the Song Dynasty has the strongest commercial atmosphere, if I finish learning experience in the Li family, maybe I can create my own business or something......."
“…… Our Li Mansion is mainly engaged in the tea business, and in the Huaning area, we are the strongest among the tea merchants, and they are similar to the Lu family and the Liu family, ......."
Xiaolian said as she took Zhao Yu to the side of the warehouse, and the steward from the warehouse came over, Xiaolian said a few words to him, and the steward left, letting a few people in.
The huge warehouse is full of boxes, and at a rough glance, there are tens of thousands of boxes, but there are also domestic servants who are constantly moving goods inside, piling up, and it looks very spectacular.
"The Li family has a total of four warehouses of this size, this is one, one in the east, one in the southwest, and one is far away from the house, in the back mountain ......."
"The Spring Festival is the best time to sell tea, from entering the New Year's Festival to the Lantern Festival, the tea hoarded years ago has been consumed, and now the four major warehouses need to buy a large number ......of goods, so this time is very busy."
Xiaolian pointed and explained to Zhao Yu the layout and structure of some warehouses, and then took him around the warehouse to see the situation behind.
"Goo-goo...... Coo-goo......".
As he walked, Zhao Jie's stomach suddenly screamed, and when he saw the eyes of Xiaolian and the two maids, Zhao Zhu coughed, pretending to be casual, pointed to the deepest houses, and asked, "Miss Xiaolian, what's in there...... Oh, and it says ...... on the door."
"Poof", the two maids were amused by Zhao Jue again.
Looking at Zhao Jie's embarrassment, Xiaolian also pursed her lips, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, turned her head and gave a low order, a maid nodded with a smile, and trotted away.
After a while, the maid ran back again, carrying something in her hand, and came over to hand it to Xiaolian, but Xiaolian didn't answer, nodding at Zhao Zhu, and the little maid handed the thing to Zhao Yu with a smile.
"What is this?" , Zhao Jue looked at the maid.
"Sister Xiaolian is afraid that you will be hungry, let me buy you the cooking cakes, see how good Sister Xiaolian is to you, eat it while it's hot!" The little girl covered her mouth and smiled, and retreated.
"In the future, you must get up early, you have to be in charge, you must take responsibility, so late, how can you still lie in bed ......", Xiaolian said with some disgust.
So Zhao Jue suddenly felt that Xiaolian was not so domineering, but cute.
For a whole morning, I turned around the huge warehouse and surrounding supporting facilities, and it was already around noon, and it was time to eat.
Xiaolian and a few of their maids returned to the house, and Zhao Jue found a reason to separate from them outside the gate of the Li Mansion and came towards the market.
He wants to take a walk, to see, to see what kind of prosperity this legendary Great Song Dynasty is.
