"What makes you so happy?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask curiously when they saw Cao Ying.

"Husband, the house in the southeast corner has been bought, and the seller has sent the title deed, so we can go and receive the house at any time!" When Cao Ying saw Zhao Yan coming in, she immediately spoke excitedly. She knew that Zhao Yan didn't like to live in the palace, so the house in the southeast corner of the capital was originally bought for Zhao Yan, and of course there were some careful thoughts that she didn't know.

"Oh, just buy it, in a few days our family will go to visit, by the way to stay for a few days, speaking of which, last time only I went with you to take a turn, I didn't have time to take a closer look at the house." Although Zhao Yan was a little tired after running for a day, he couldn't help but be a little happy when he heard that the house had been bought, and although he and Cao Ying had only roughly turned around, the house with a vast area and elegant and beautiful architecture also gave him a deep impression.

"How can it take a few days, just now we and my sister have already discussed, tomorrow I will go to the house to have a look, I heard my sister said that the house is next to the Bianhe River, and there is a river beach, the river beach is full of wild ducks, then we can go hunting, speaking of since I was pregnant with Siling, I haven't ridden a horse and archery for a long time." Yelusi also stepped forward with a smile at this time, and when it came to riding a horse and archery, her face also showed a little yearning, when she was in Liao Kingdom before, she didn't like horseback archery very much, but she didn't know why, after following Zhao Yan to the Great Song Dynasty, she was a little nostalgic for her previous life.

"It's okay to hunt, but you can't follow your rules, or I'll go hungry." As soon as Zhao Yan heard Yelusi mention hunting, he immediately thought of his previous days in Liao, especially the rule that the nobles of Liao were not allowed to bring food for hunting, which made him hungry several times.

"Hey, what the hell are the rules? actually made her husband hungry? Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Xue Ning'er, who followed closely, was also very curious and said, only she and Yelusi gave birth to a child for Zhao Yan in the family, and they were both daughters, so the two women usually walked very closely, but she rarely inquired about things between Zhao Yan and Yelusi. After all, Yelusi's identity is too sensitive, even if they all know Yelusi's princess of Liaoguo, they won't mention it lightly.

"Giggle~" Yelusi heard Zhao Yan's words, and immediately thought of the original incident, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, after hearing Xue Ning'er's question, he immediately told the Khitan nobles that hunting is not allowed to bring food, and also told Zhao Yan that he couldn't hunt the prey, but actually went to the river to fish. This made Cao Ying and the others all lean forward and backward with laughter, because they never expected Zhao Yan to have such a wolf bèi time.

"Husband, you scorched that fish at the beginning, and half of it still has to be given to me, so you still owe me half a fish!" At this time, Yelusi smiled again and joked to Zhao Yan, although she is the mother of the child, but with such an immodest husband as Zhao Yan, they also maintain a good attitude. From time to time, such a little daughter's posture will be revealed, which is also the obvious difference between Zhao Yan's family and other aristocratic families.

"Didn't I already give you a daughter? That's a lot stronger than half a fish. Zhao Yan smiled and quibbled at this time, thinking of the first acquaintance with Yelusi in Liao, and the later experience of the two being together by accident, although it has only been more than a year, it is still a little emotional to think about it.

Regarding Zhao Yan's quibble, Yelusi couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes. However, there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, although she had a misunderstanding with Zhao Yan at the beginning, and even a little angry every time she saw Zhao Yan, but now that she thinks about it, she feels very interesting. There's even something sweet.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yan's family sat in the prepared carriage, a group of women chattered and discussed non-stop on the carriage, it took about an hour, and finally came to the southeast corner of Tokyo City, here is the place where the Bianhe River flows out of Tokyo, the ships that come and go are non-stop, the stone bridges or wooden bridges arched high one after another, and the pedestrians on the road equal to the river are weaving, and it looks very prosperous.

"Huh? This...... Does this look familiar? He couldn't interject a few people in the carriage, so he had to open the window to enjoy the scenery outside the window, and he was very surprised to find that although he was coming to this area for the first time, he felt that the scenery outside was very familiar, especially the scenery on the Bianhe River, which made him feel like he had seen it somewhere, but for a while he couldn't remember when he had seen it?

Just when Zhao Yan was puzzled, he suddenly saw a large-scale wooden arch bridge appear on the river in front of him, the whole bridge is beautiful in form, exquisite in structure, and the bridge deck is also very wide, and there are even two rows of fixed vendors on both sides of the bridge deck, buying snacks, groceries, etc., people who pass from the bridge stop from time to time to bargain with those small vendors, and even if there is this row of vendors occupying a lot of places on the bridge deck, but the remaining area in the middle can still allow three carriages to pass through guò side by side, This gives an idea of the size of this large wooden bridge.

"This ...... Is this Hongqiao? When Zhao Yan saw this iconic wooden bridge, his mind immediately flashed with inspiration, and finally thought of where he had seen the scenery here, and even called out the name of this big wooden bridge at once, this is because this bridge occupies a very important position on the "Qingming Riverside Map", which was later called a national treasure, and at the same time, it also made Zhao Yan understand that the area he passed by was the place drawn in the Qingming Riverside Map.

"Giggles, husband is stupid again, this bridge is obviously called Wuche Bridge, where is the Hongqiao?" At this time, Cao Ying in the carriage heard Zhao Yan's words to herself, and couldn't help but smile and said, she and Zhao Yan had already been here once last time, but Zhao Yan had been sitting in the carriage at that time, and she didn't notice the scenery outside at all, but she knew a little about the situation along the way.

"Five-car axle? Why the name? Zhao Yan asked strangely, although the Hongqiao in the Qingming Shanghe Diagram in later generations occupies a very important position, but it is not marked with its name, only because of its shape like a rainbow, so it is called Hongqiao by later generations, as for the real name of the bridge, it is naturally impossible for future generations to know, unless they can cross over like Zhao Yan, they will know that the original bridge is called Wuche Bridge.

"Giggles, it's actually very simple, husband, you see that this bridge is large, there are enough five horse-drawn carriages side by side on the bridge deck, and the name of the bridge is also derived, but now both sides of the bridge are occupied by some vendors, so there are only three carriages in guò." Cao Ying explained with a smile again.

"I see, it should be called a three-car bridge." Zhao Yan muttered to himself when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the scenery on the Bianhe River outside, speaking of which, Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Riverside map should be the scene of the Bianhe River decades later, but some iconic scenes still have no changes, such as rivers, bridges and city gates, etc., which look like real objects coming down from the painting, and even make Zhao Yan feel like he is in the painting.

Zhao Yan's carriage went out of the city gate along the Bianhe River, this city gate is called the Bianhe Corner Gate, it is a small city gate, but there is a sluice gate on the city gate, and when it is put down, it can separate the inside and outside of the Bianhe River to prevent the entry of ships and enemies, and Zhao Yan's carriage is along the road next to the sluice gate out of the city, and then comes to a piece of house not far from the city gate.

Although this is already outside the city, but because the population of Kaifeng City is too much, the city has long been crowded, some nobles like to be quiet, so they build a courtyard outside the city, and the scenery along the Bianhe River is beautiful, the government does not allow the people in the city to dump garbage into the river, so that the river water is also very clean and clear, so many nobles like to buy the land on both sides of the Bianhe River, and then build a leisure courtyard.

The house that Cao Ying bought for Zhao Yan is also on the side of the Bianhe River, and there happens to be a tributary of the Bianhe River flowing through here, forming a triangular alluvial plain, and on this plain, a large-scale mansion stands here, just to hold the entire estuary, and the place where the house was built is very high, even if the river rises, there is no need to worry about flooding the house, it can be said to be a treasure of feng shui, of course, such a house is definitely not cheap, otherwise with Zhao Yan's financial resources, Cao Ying will not feel tight on money.

"The princess, the princess, the house has been cleaned and you can move in at any time!" Zhao Yan's carriage just arrived in front of the house, Lao Fu immediately greeted him, yesterday after Cao Ying received the title deed, Lao Fu immediately volunteered to clean, of course, with his age and identity, mainly to monitor the work of other servants, after all, this is where Zhao Yan will live for a long time in the future, safety and cleanliness are very important, and he is not at ease when he sends other people, so he came in person.

"Haha, Lao Fu, you have worked hard, take us to visit the house!" Zhao Yan immediately smiled when he saw Lao Fu, speaking of which Lao Fu is getting older and older, Zhao Yan has always wanted him to be more idle, but the housekeeper is not a good candidate, and Lao Fu is also an idle person, so he can only let him do it first.

"Yes, County King!" Lao Fu immediately agreed, and then led the way in front, and began to introduce it after entering this house, speaking of which, this house is much larger than Zhao Yan's other courtyard in the east of the city, according to Lao Fu's estimates, it is at least twice as large, and the yard in the house is also very much, almost one in a row, but the inner and outer houses are still very clear, which is also the rule of all large households.

Although the house is large, it is very beautifully built, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying only took a general look last time, and now after a careful visit, they are also full of praise, as for Xue Ning'er and Yelusi, Yan Yuru and others, they are very impressed by this house, and they are even already discussing which courtyard they want to live in.

After taking a turn in the house, Yelusi immediately took Zhao Yan and them to the river, because she heard Cao Ying say that there were many wild ducks to hunt by the river, but when Zhao Yan came to the river, he suddenly found a strange thing. (To be continued......) R1292
