Three-five-two, color gall
Shishi had never left Jingshi before, so in her imagination, Diqiu, Xuzhou, where she was about to arrive, should be a small country town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even if she was almost convinced by Zhou Quan's skills, she never imagined that the town she imagined would be what it is now.
A completely different city from Kyoshi!
Because the whole city has been planned for a relatively long time from the beginning, the city and Jingshi are generally very neat, but all the buildings are buildings, and there are few bungalows. The tall buildings reach six floors, and the short ones also have three floors, and in order to conform to the aesthetics of this time, these buildings are generally not built with simple flat roofs, there will be cornices, there will be horse head walls, and even some glazed tiles.
Since the first department store of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, it has become popular to use glass as windows, but glass is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, even if it is a powerful family, they will not replace all windows with glass. But here, there are quite a lot of glass windows.
In addition, all the buildings are cement bamboo reinforced masonry structures, with less use of wood, and in Zhou Quan's plan, those large timbers that can be used to build houses are good materials for shipbuilding.
In the middle of these buildings, there are straight and wide streets, not to mention the various trees planted on both sides, not to mention the hidden ditches hidden in the ground, that is, the smooth cement, Jingshi is not so extravagant!
"You Lao Tzu and your brother are really ...... Accustomed to being lavish, cement glass is so expensive, and they dare to spend it like this? ā
Zhou's mother was also shocked by the situation in the city, and walked on the street for a long time before she said to her teacher.
Shi Shi smiled, her mood became very comfortable, she vaguely felt that she would not be bored in Diqiu, or in Haeju and Jeju that she was going to later.
"Dad and brother both have great skills, use them a lot, and earn a lot!" She tactfully refuted Zhou's mother, speaking for Zhou Fu is secondary, and maintaining Zhou Quan is the most important thing.
"Don't indulge your brother, but give me a closer look, our family is Han, really let him bring a bunch of foreign princesses home, what kind of words is that!" Mother Zhou glanced at her: "Everything else is long, but you don't have long eyes, you!" ā
Shishi's face turned red, but he didn't dare to answer it.
Zhou's mother was very proud of her son, and it was rumored that the princess of Liao liked Zhou Zhou Quan at the beginning, and she was even more happy. But then Zhou Quan fought for the princess of Liao and the Jurchens, she was dissatisfied, in her opinion, her son was the most important in the world, and it was a sin to let her son take risks.
The most important thing is that, like all mothers in the world who love their sons, her son is running around for other women, and she has a kind of panic, feeling that the child she has worked so hard to pull will be snatched away by others.
Although Zhou Quan explained to her that the purpose of the Battle of Liaohe was not only for Yu Liyan as she imagined, but the main purpose was to snatch the population after losing control, and it was the more than 100,000 and nearly 200,000 people taken from Liaodong at that time that supported the rapid development of Jeju. But Zhou's mother can't manage so much, what she cares about is her son's safety.
"Dichudu is like this, and Jeju doesn't know what the situation is...... Tsk, your brother was stupid when he was a child, but after you poured a basin of water, he became smarter, good girl, you said that you were not sent by God to give your brother, what else could it be? ā
The flush on Shishi's face deepened.
How old was she that year, and that basin of water poured Zhou Quan into the Wuzhang River, which also changed the fate of the two.
The teacher was full of happiness for the basin of water she poured back then, and now she has a different identity and no longer goes to Aunt Li's place, but the news over there sometimes comes to her ears. The little girl who was adopted by Li Yun with her at the beginning has already begun to fall.
And herself, but she was raised by the Zhou family as a daughter, if it weren't for the fact that she and Zhou's mother both liked to do it themselves, I am afraid that the maids around her would have to arrange one or twenty.
I am 16 years old this year!
Thinking of this, Shi Shi felt that his face was burning badly.
At the same time, there was also a fire burning in her chest: because she stayed in the Beijing Division, she couldn't see Zhou Quan for most of the year, so she could only let those crazy women outside rob her, but from now on, she could follow her brother, but she wanted to see which crazy woman could snatch her brother!
Not to mention that she was secretly determined, half a day after her mother and daughter entered Diqiu, Li Cheng, who had a bitter face, also came to the city.
He did not rush to the city, but stood on the hill outside the city, overlooking the city.
Even Zhou's mother and his teacher were shocked by this new city, not to mention this guy, after he was on it for a long time, he swallowed his saliva: "Mother, this city ...... Is this city Dichu? ā
You know, he's never even heard of it before!
After a while, he began to think about how to blend into the city, and then he smiled.
This city is good for everything, but it is not good for one.
There are no walls!
It is accessible in all directions, there are no walls, he does not need to mix at all, and can enter it from any direction.
"Well, this city is so prosperous, how can there be no money to build the city walls, it must be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, only caring about making money, and not thinking about repairing it at all...... As long as thirty or fifty people enter the city, they can be ransacked, and then they can get out of it! ā
Li Cheng didn't really want to sack the city, and he didn't have thirty or fifty subordinates, but he just felt that he seemed to be able to make a fuss about this matter.
As he thought, he went down the hill and into the city. When he arrived here, he already knew the identity of Zhou's mother and teacher, and he turned out to be the sister of the world-famous Zhou Huo's mother of the God of Wealth, no wonder there was such pomp!
However, he didn't know that Zhou Quan had already aroused Zhao Ji's suspicion at this time, and only said that Zhou Quan had a bright future in the imperial court, and he might become the prime minister of the imperial court before the age of thirty. Such a big thick leg, of course, has to be hugged alive, he secretly regretted it at the moment, if he really cooked the raw rice at that time, wouldn't the sky-high wealth be waiting for him?
There are no traces of people on the mountain, but when you get to the bottom of the mountain, there are more pedestrians on the road.
Li Cheng walked in a big way, but he hadn't entered the city yet, and he suddenly had an alarm in his heart.
When he looked back, he saw a few men around him, surrounding him.
He was in a dark heart, he knew that his feelings were not good, and he didn't know where he had missed something. However, seeing that the other party was only far away, he knew that they were not ready to make a move, so he was calm on his face, but in fact he was secretly observing.
If you go out along this road, you will soon be able to enter the city, and when you get to the city, you will find an opportunity to blend in with the crowd, and you should be able to get out smoothly. Even if the whole city is searched, it is just that in a city of this scale, where there are few city fox and mouse, those scoundrels will be their best cover.
Actually, no, steal some food, find a quiet place to stay for a few days, and then go out of the city when the limelight is over.
With an abacus in his heart, Li Cheng pretended to be the same as the newcomer to Diqiu, looking around, looking around, and when he arrived at those shops, he had to stop and go inside to see what people were selling.
There are a lot of shops in Diqiu, and they are all along the street, and they are not in the special hook fence tiles. There are many signboards in the shops, selling groceries from the north and south, wholesale all kinds of products, and even shops with those shaved heads, haircuts and pedicures, etc., Li Cheng even saw a shop with a signboard of "Iron Mouth Straight Break", and even the blind fortune teller sat up like the doctor Lang Zhong.
He didn't know that this was a natural product of the development of the commodity economy, and that without unified planning, these small shops would be a mess of things, crowding the whole city into chaos, and it seemed to be prosperous, but in fact it was barbaric. But here in Diqiu, Zhou Quan has imposed a rule that most of the shops along the street belong to him, so he rents them to everyone at a very low price, and the profit is just enough for maintenance and labor, and there is only a slight surplus.
Li Cheng walked straight to the face-to-face shop, and a blind old man sitting upright heard the voice, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Can the guest have an urgent matter and need to ask for a hexagram to solve his doubts?" ā
"Face to face, the old man can't see it, how can he face each other?" Li Cheng laughed while secretly observing the back of the shop, there was a door that seemed to lead to the backyard.
The blind old man smiled: "The old man I am blind and clear, and the ancestral method of touching the bones, if the guest tries it first, if the old man is not accurate, don't want money, but if the old man is accurate, please patronize five coppers, if the old man says that the guests are happy, fifteen coppers are indispensable!" ā
"You say, you say."
The guest held out his hand. That's the old way.
Li Cheng saw that he was old and thin, and he was not afraid of what tricks he played, so he really stretched out his hand to hold him. The blind old man pinched and touched his hand hard, and after a while of silence, he said, "The guest is here to look for someone, but the search is not smooth. ā
Li Cheng's heart moved, didn't he come looking for the traces of his master's mother and daughter!
And at this time, he has been targeted, and it seems that it is really not going well!
He looked suspiciously at the thin old man he was facing, could it be that this blind old man really had some skills, and he was a master hidden in the market?
"What else?" He asked.
The blind old man laughed: "Smart people listen to my old blind man's words, they know whether what I said is true or false, if the guest thinks the old blind man is talking nonsense, please take care of yourself, but if the old blind man is right, five coppers, thank you for your patronage!" ā
Li Cheng had no choice but to touch five copper coins and put them on the old blind man's counter.
On his side, he was talking nonsense with the old blind man, and on the other side, outside the old blind man's shop, a rickshaw stopped, and Wang Qinian, who was wearing sunglasses, stepped out of the car.
After the development of the glass manufacturing industry, glasses were naturally put on the agenda, first magnifying glasses, then reading glasses, followed by myopia glasses that made the world's readers applaud, and then now there are sunglasses for shading, and the development of the glasses industry is extremely fast.
When sunglasses appeared, Wang Qinian fell in love with this thing, wearing this, not only to block the sun, but more importantly, to cover his eyes, for what he is doing now, this is more important than blocking the sun.
"What about the boy?" He asked a man on the side of the road.
"In the old liar's face shop."
Wang Qinian's neck didn't move, but under his sunglasses, his eyes slipped to the face shop, and he saw Li Cheng's back.
"This kid cut the path on the road and robbed our master's mother, but he still dared to follow Di Qiu all the way, I suspect that he has some big purpose behind him, maybe it has something to do with the imperial court, keep an eye on it, don't startle the snake, you must find out his true purpose!"
Wang Qinian said in his mouth, but he didn't know that this Li Cheng was just a coward. (To be continued.) )
