In the early morning of the next day, Yuanhang settled Tang Yuanwai and others, and then took four family members to Jingzhou City to find a place to settle down first.

Jingzhou City can be much taller than Luzhou City, only the city wall is more than ten meters high, and it looks majestic and majestic from a distance. When I got closer, I saw a soldier standing every few meters on the city wall, and the city gate was even more heavily guarded. Two groups of officers and soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, and those who entered the city lined up in two lines to be examined.

Smoothly entered the city, and saw that the streets and roads in the city were wide and far from being comparable to Luzhou. There are five horse-drawn carriages side by side on the street, and there are five or six floors of pavilions on both sides. And Luzhou is basically a two-story pavilion, and the three-story one is considered luxurious. The streets are full of people and businesses, and the bustling city here is dazzling. Yuanhang took his family to enjoy the scenery everywhere, but just asked around where there was a house to buy and live temporarily. I didn't find anything in the morning, but my stomach couldn't stand it and screamed first. Seeing a restaurant on the left, with a big wine word dangling outside the door, Yuanhang walked in with his family.

"Guest officer, you're here, please come in." A guy ran over and greeted the group with a smile and led them to an empty table to sit down.

"Four side dishes, a few bowls of rice, the sooner the better." Yuanhang sat down and said directly to the guy.

"Okay, you wait." The guy answered and ran. A few people were waiting for a meal, and a few gorgeously dressed men at the table next to them were chatting quietly.

"Eh, did you hear that?" The boy took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, chewing it and said, "There is something big in the family of Lord Zhizhou." ”

"Oh? What's the matter, brother Gao, let's listen to it. The other son just picked up the wine glass, and when he heard that it was a matter in the mansion of Lord Zhizhou, he was quite interested, put down the glass and asked.

The boy surnamed Gao lowered his voice and said, "Lord Zhizhou's concubine had an affair with the housekeeper and was caught by Lord Zhizhou. ”

"Really? Which concubine is it? Enjoy more happiness with the master of Zhizhou, why bother to have an affair with the housekeeper. The other boy said with some disbelief.

"You don't know that." Gao Gongzi pretended to be mysterious and said: "Lord Zhizhou is very old, and there are seven concubines, who can endure the emptiness of the boudoir." It was the charming Ye Meier who had an affair with the housekeeper. ”

"It's her, it's rumored that she didn't abide by women's morals when she was in the boudoir. Only because of this woman's outstanding appearance and flattery, was she favored by Lord Zhizhou as the seventh aunt. The son on the left said with a look of disdain.

"It's not, it's good now, not only is it difficult to save my life, but it also affects my family. I heard that the old man of Zhizhou found a reason to put the entire Ye family in prison, and also sealed the Ye family's house. Gao Gongzi sighed.

"Senior brother, what does her Ye Mei'er matter have to do with you, so sorry, could it be that you and her have had a good time? Haha......"

"Don't laugh, it has nothing to do with us, haha, come, drink and drink." Gao Gongzi stretched out his hand and punched the man, picked up his wine glass and smiled.

Hearing them talk about Lord Zhizhou, Yuanhang suddenly thought that when the old man gave him a waist card, he had said that he could help himself by using this waist card to find Lord Zhizhou Yan.

After eating, I checked out the bill and walked out of the restaurant, asked where the prefect's yamen was located, and looked for it.

"Stop! This is the prefect's yamen, and idle people are not allowed to enter, so they leave quickly. When he arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion, a belt of swords and officials stopped him.

"This official, Xiao Ke has something important to see the prefect. If you report it, I will say that Lord Yan's old friend recommended it. Yuanhang stepped forward to accompany Xiao Shili and said.

"Is there a letter?" The officer looked up and down at the far seaway.

"Yes, yes." After the voyage finished speaking, he went up and took out a tael of silver and stuffed it. It's really distressing, but Jingzhou is not better than Luzhou, and it is not a few pennies that can be spent.

"Okay, if you have the letter, wait a minute, and wait for me to go and tell you." When the official saw that there was no letter, he gave him the silver, smiled and took the silver into his bosom and walked in.

After a while, the official came out and said, "This son, Lord Zhizhou is invited, please come with me." ”

He followed the official directly into a small garden. Yuanhang saw a big fat man in his fifties with a white beard sitting on a chair basking in the sun, and two maids were beating his legs beside him.

"Lord Qiqi, the guest is here." The servant bent down and said.

"Well, you go down." Lord Yan opened his eyes and looked at Yuanhang and asked, "Who are you?" What are you looking for me? ”

Yuanhang hurriedly took out the waist card and handed it over, and said, "Xiao Keye Yuanhang has seen adults, please take a look." ”

After taking it, Lord Yan glanced at it and stood up, turned around and ordered the two maids, "You stand down." ”

"Yes." The two maids saluted and left.

"Xiaguan Yan Song has seen adults." Seeing that there was no one else beside him, Lord Yan hurriedly saluted Yuanhang and said.

"Don't dare, Lord Yan, this waist card was given to me by an old man, telling me to hold this to find you, and you can help me." Yuanhang saw Lord Yan saluting him, and hurriedly bowed in return.

"You said that this waist card was given to you by an old man and asked you to come to me?" Yan Song straightened up after hearing this, and asked thoughtfully.

"Yes." Yuanhang nodded in reply.

"Strange, how can such a valuable belongings be given away?" Although Lord Yan had doubts, he didn't dare to ask more, so he smiled and said, "I don't know if Ye Gongzi is here, what do you need my help with?" ”

"That's right, Lord Yan. Xiao Ke came from Luzhou and wanted to buy a house in Jingzhou to do some business. I just searched for a morning and didn't find a suitable house, so I wanted to ask the adults to help see if there was a suitable courtyard to buy. Yuanhang said his intentions without concealment.

"Oh, that's it." Lord Yan lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Coincidentally, a few days ago, the Japanese officials just seized a courtyard, which was originally the mansion of one of my concubines. However, the person in her mother's family was a spy of Xiaoliang State, and the official killed his relatives and arrested them all and put them in prison. If the son doesn't dislike it, he will go and see if the courtyard here is okay. ”

Yuanhang was overjoyed when he heard this, just waiting for you to say this. It's just that he said that his concubine fornicated with others as a righteous killing of relatives, which shows that Yan Song is an old man and a treacherous person.

"Oops! Lord Yan is really loyal to the country, he has done his best for the country, and he is really a model for us. Yuanhang hurriedly slapped his horse and flattered and said: "Since it is so small, you can go and see the courtyard, if you can buy it yourself." ”

"Okay, the official will send someone to take you there." Lord Yan handed the waist card to Yuanhangdao: "This official has been feeling tired recently, so he won't take Gongzi in person." Yan Song saw that Yuanhang was not the owner of the waist card, so he no longer claimed to be a subordinate official.

"Don't dare, please take care of your body Lord Yan, Xiao Ke can retire first." The voyage retreated, and the official from the moment ago led him towards the city.

After walking for a long time, I came to a courtyard, only to see that this courtyard was not magnificent, and a carriage barely entered the main entrance. There are a few bluestone steps in front of the door, and there is a stone lion on each side, but the volume is much smaller. The gate is red, there are two copper rings on the door, and there are two gold characters on the plaque above, Yefu. There was a seal on the door, and the official drew his saber, hissed and cut the seal, took out the key and unlocked the door, and pushed the door open.

The house has a total of five courtyards, although the area is not as large as the Tang Mansion, but because this house has no garden, there are more houses than the Tang Mansion, which is enough to accommodate everyone.

I watched it several times before and after the voyage, and I was still very satisfied with this house. So he said to the officer: "I am tired of the official to go back and report to the lord, but Xiao Ke is very satisfied with this house." I won't bother when it's getting late today, and I'll come to the house tomorrow to thank you in person. ”

The official answered, hugged his fist and returned to the governor's mansion to resume his life.

Yuanhang left two family members to guard the courtyard, and led the other two to hurry out of the city to meet Tang Yuanwai. Nearly 20 horse-drawn carriages lined the streets, attracting people to stop and watch, not knowing which big family was so magnificent.

After each of them finished assigning their rooms, it was getting dark. Yuanhang and Tang Yuanwai, Wanyue sat in the living room drinking tea.

"Master, tomorrow I will go to the prefect to bring the deed, and when I come back, I will go with the master to find the shop, and I will first urge my subordinates to clean the house thoroughly. What do you think? Yuanhang asked Tang Yuanwaidao.

"Yuanhang, you are safe, everything is up to you, you see that we are in Ye Mansion now, haha." Tang Yuan pulled his beard and smiled.

"The master said with a smile, I will send someone to replace the plaque tomorrow." Yuanhang hurriedly got up and said.

"No need, Yuanhang, I never treated you as an outsider. Now that I'm older, I don't want to get too involved in business. When I came to Jingzhou this time, I decided to hand over the business to Wanyo to take care of, so you have to help Wanyue more in the future, and this mansion will be handed over to you. Haha, I should be blessed too. Tang Yuanwai's meaning was very clear, Yuanhang looked at Wanyue, and Wanyue lowered her head with a red face.

"Thank you for your love, that's it, let's go to the city tomorrow for a day, so we can choose a store as soon as possible." After Yuanhang finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

"Voyage, wait a minute." Wanyo chased out of the house.

"Anything else?" Yuanhang turned to look at her.

"It's not a big deal, it's just ...... Shall we inspect the courtyard? Wanyu whispered.

"Inspect the compound?" After Yuanhang finished speaking, he immediately understood, and the meaning of the grace was clearly to ask himself to walk with him and talk.

"Well, you're right, we should get acquainted with it, especially those remote corners where no one is around." Yuanhang looked at it and said with a smile.

Listening to him that there was no one and the remote words were very important, he naturally understood that Yuanhang had seen through his thoughts, and turned his head to the inner courtyard with a shy turn, and Yuanhang followed behind him.

Yuanhang and Wanyue talked and walked around the courtyard. The voyage made up his mind to stay in the middle of nowhere. Who knew that this mansion had no garden at all, ponds and other places were all people's houses, and there was no chance to hug Wanyue after turning around, so he had no choice but to give up, and walked back to his residence after sending Wanyue back to his room.

Pushing the door in, I saw Qinghe bending down in front of the bed to make the quilt for herself. Seeing Qinghe's plump buttocks, the fire that had just been extinguished by the voyage burned again. Gently walked over and hugged Qinghe behind him. Qinghe stood up with a frightened 'ah'. Yuanhang wrapped his hands around her waist, his lips rubbed back and forth on Qinghe's neck, and bursts of hot air rushed to Qinghe.

"Voyage, don't ......" Qinghe gasped provocatively.

Yuanhang was already in a state of confusion, and she couldn't listen to Qinghe's words at all, her left hand was wrapped around her waist, and her right hand was already pressed upwards on Qinghe's right softness.

"Ahh Sail away, don't ......" Qinghe felt himself tremble all over, and he fell to the bed unsteadily.

Yuanhang also followed Qinghe and fell on the bed, holding his hand honestly.

"Qinghe, I want to ......," Yuanhang said with a heavy breath.

"Yuanhang, I have always looked forward to the day when you can marry me. I am yours, you want my body, I will not refuse you. Qinghe's face was flushed, but there were tears in his eyes.

This sentence woke up the voyage. Yes, Qinghe is her own, and she doesn't care about her body now, but about her own status.

Yuanhang came to his senses and picked up Qinghe's face and kissed it gently.

"Qinghe, my good wife, it's me who is too impulsive. Wait for me, and soon I'll marry you. Yuanhang looked at Qinghe's little face flushed, his eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't help but kiss it again.

"When I marry you, you will no longer refuse me."

"Hmm......" Qinghe nodded shyly.

"Qinghe, I felt it just now, and I realized that you have been plump up recently......" Yuanhang whispered in Qinghe's ear.

"Oops, I hate ......," Qinghe pounced on and covered Yuanhang's mouth with a red face.
