Chapter Fifty-Eight: Settling in Guojia Town

Aru did not stay in the camp in the northwest.

After breakfast the next day, Ling Yuanhang took her to Guojia Town, which was more than fifty miles away from here. It's a little further away from the border, so it's a lot safer.

This town is quite large, the market trade is very lively, and the husband and wife are accompanied by the customs chief of Quanchengguan, whose home is in Guojia Town.

Several people each brought their own entourage, slowly and leisurely enjoying the scenery of the late autumn at the border pass.

Yaru looked at the mountains in the distance, the vast grassland, and the yellow artemisia grass swaying in the wind, which was a scenery she couldn't see in the capital.

Yaru followed her father back to the capital from the border pass at the age of eight, and basically never saw such a vast and distant scenery again. Such a view gave her the urge to ride a horse and gallop, as well as the leisure of leisurely pacing.

Ling Yuanhang looked at her excited little expression, a pair of bright apricot eyes. said dotingly: "Ru'er, do you have the urge to race horses?" ”

Aru replied crisply, "Yes, yes." This place is a flat river, and horse racing must be very cool. ”

Although Ling Yuanhang and her did not marry for a long time, because he paid special attention to his little wife, he also paid special attention to her words and deeds. From time to time, she came up with some chic and funny words, and he quickly got used to them.

He smiled and said, "I'll accompany you once, let's have a horse race." ”

So on the unique meadow of this pass, the heroic posture of a group of people galloping has become a beautiful scenery in the northwest border pass.

Soon they arrived at Guojia Town, where Chief Guo first took a few people to the mayor's house, introduced Ling Yuanhang and Yaru to the mayor, and explained his intention to the mayor, asking him if he had any idle houses to sell.

Mayor Guo is a hearty man in his forties. As soon as he heard that the people in front of him were Ling Yuanhang and his wife, he was immediately very enthusiastic and respectful.

He smiled and said, "I have heard the name of General Ling for a long time, so that the old man has admired it for a long time. ”

Ling Yuanhang hurriedly humbly: "Mayor Guo, you are too old to win the award."

Mayor Guo said happily: "It's not too much, it's not too much, you people, including the Pingxi Hou who died in the battle, are all big heroes in our hearts." It's a pity that Pingxihou. It's gone at a young age. He sighed, a little sad.

Commissioner Guo hurriedly said, "Old Guo, tell me quickly, do you have a house in the house?"

Mayor Guo came back to his senses and said, "I really have a few idle houses here. ”

He looked at the more than 20 men and women who followed behind Yaru, and said to Ling Yuanhang: "General Ling, I see that you have a lot of guards, so you can live in the courtyard at the west end of the town, which was originally a rich man's house. Since the war in the northwest, that man moved his family to the mainland for safety, and asked me to help him watch the yard. You can rent or sell. You can live there, the conditions are better.

Ling Yuanhang said gratefully, "Thank you, Mayor Guo. ”

Mayor Guo led them over, and a few people went in to take a look, it was quite a large courtyard, and there was a three-entry pattern inside.

Aru himself brought twenty guards. Linlang gave almost all of his female soldiers to Yaru.

Except for Guan Long and Guan Hu, the generals of Guan Houye's family insisted on staying, and everyone else returned to the capital with General Tong.

The main room is for Yaru to live in, and the rest of the room is for more than 20 female soldiers and Guan Long and Guan Hu.

The soldiers of the county king's mansion still left 300 people, and they were also placed only 200 meters away from the courtyard where Yaru lived.

Yaru saw that the layout of this house was really good, and she was quite satisfied, so she asked: "Mayor Guo, I want to buy this mansion, how much do you see how much it costs." ”

Ling Yuanhang was surprised: "Yaru, what are you buying it for? You are not going to live for a long time, and you will return to the capital after a while." The house is going to sit idle again. ”

Yaru pursed her lips and smiled, and said to him, "Buy it first, and then you can use it if you can't say it later." Besides, so many people live here, and they need to add a lot of things, and it is not convenient to rent a house after all. ”

Mayor Guo also smiled and said, "Madame is right. General Ling, buy it first, it is also practical and convenient for his wife to live in his own house, and it is convenient for him to buy anything he wants. This house was bought for you at the lowest price, two hundred taels of silver. I don't make the difference between you. ”

Ling Yuanhang looked at Yaru's eager gaze and smiled, and he said, "Okay, it's up to you, we'll buy it." ”

He said to Mayor Guo again: "Thank you, Mayor Guo, Madame lives here, and I will trouble you a lot in the future." ”

Mayor Guo smiled and said, "General Ling, don't worry. You and your wife are our guests who can't even invite us. I'm glad my wife lives here. ”

After the matter was negotiated, Ling Yuanhang gave Mayor Guo two hundred and thirty taels of silver, saying that thirty taels of them were the difference between him and him. Let Yaru call it an intermediary fee in modern terms.

Mayor Guo said that he didn't want anything, and Ling Yuanhang insisted on giving it.

Mayor Guo reluctantly accepted it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really from a big family, and he is generous in doing things.

Mayor Guo got the money and became more enthusiastic. He said to Ling Yuanhang and Yaru, "General Ling and his wife want to buy something, I can take you to buy it." ”

Commissioner Guo next to him also said: "I'm not in a hurry to go home now, I can also help." ”

Ling Yuanhang smiled and said, "Thank you, you just need to tell us where the market is, and I'll let them buy it." He pointed to his men and the girls Aru had brought.

Mayor Guo said the location with a smile, and then left with the chief.

Yaru and Ling Yuanhang instructed their entourage to clean the room. Anyway, there were a lot of people, and it didn't take long for all the rooms to be cleaned. Then they took people to the bazaar to buy things.

In the end, they bought a lot of vegetables and meat, and today thanks to the help of Mayor Guo and Commissioner Guo, they have just moved into a new house, so the husband and wife want to invite them to a meal, just to let their subordinates fight tooth sacrifices.

The people in Guojiazhen were very enthusiastic, and after they inquired and learned that these people wearing armor were General Ling and his wife, even the things sold to them were relatively cheap.

Yaru felt very moved, the people at the border were still much simpler, and they knew how grateful they were for the people who sacrificed their lives to fight for them. Aru suddenly fell in love with the town.

Ling Yuanhang returned to Quanchengguan the next day.

Yaru sent Ling Yuanhang away, and said to the four girls close to her, "Let's go, I'll take you to go shopping." ”

Several girls happily agreed, and Taohong also said, "Princess Shizi, shall we go and change into men's clothes?" ”

Yaru smiled: "No, this is a border gate, there is no such serious defense of men and women, didn't you also see it yesterday, women here can go to the street without masks." ”

Orange teased Peach: "Don't you think that dressing up as a man is more handsome and chic, and you can seduce little girls more, right?"

A few girls giggled and laughed.

Yaru took the four girls and walked out, and when she went out of the house, she ran into Guan Long and Guan Hu who came back from outside.

Guan Long asked Yaru, "Miss, where are you going?"

Yaru smiled and said, "I'm going to walk around town." When you arrive in a new place, you must first familiarize yourself with the environment, and you can't just look at the dark and know nothing. ”

Guan Long said, "Okay, miss, we just don't have anything to do, and we just want to go out for a walk." Let's go together. ”

Yaru smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go together." ”

At that time, Yaru knew that Guan Long and Guan Hu insisted on staying, and it must have been explained by their father. Daddy has always loved himself, so he knows himself better. Daddy must have guessed that he didn't want to go back to Beijing right away after he came here. That's why he instructed his two most powerful families to follow him and protect him.

Thinking of her father's love, Yaru had a sour nose. There is only a mother in the world, and a child with a mother is a treasure. But in Yaru's heart, although her mother loves her, she has no status. So here in Yaru, it becomes: only a father is good in the world, and a child with a father is a treasure.

Yaru and the four girls are wearing women's clothes, Yaru is a natural beauty, and several girls are also pretty and lovely. Followed by two very serious and heroic men, this line immediately became a scene in Guojia Town, and a few curious children kept following a few people curiously.

Yaru has been shuttling between major restaurants and shops in the capital during this period of time, and is extremely interested in business. What's more, she really doesn't lack money in her hands, and she doesn't have to worry about any business she wants to do. Yaru herself is envious that she has two strong backings. She felt that she had been crushed to death by a mudslide in modern times, and she had traveled to this alternate ancient time, which was really a big deal. Money, handsome guys, status and power, she is not lacking in everything. Her careful eyes were beaming with joy.

So Yaru didn't come out today to unconsciously go shopping, she wanted to investigate the market in the northwest border town and see if there was a suitable business for her. As she went, she found that this town was really not small and prosperous. The bazaar is full of people. Some of them can also see their own Warat merchants.

After a day of shopping, she came to the conclusion that the place lacked silk and tea, but the livestock market seemed to be bustling. Especially horses. Here the horses are of good quality. The coat is shiny and tall.

On the way back, she asked a few people, "You say, if I want to open a shop here, what kind of business can I do to make money?"

Peach's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Princess Shizi, do you want to do business here?"

Aru looked at her, nodded and smiled.

Xinghong was steady, she thought for a while and said, "Princess Shizi, I think, take the silk fabrics and tea from the capital here to sell, and then we will sell the skins here back to the capital to sell." It should be ok. ”

"When we were in Yangchengguan, the silk fabrics there were particularly popular. Emphasis is placed on agriculture and animal husbandry in the border areas. We can ship silk tea here and sell it. ”

Yan Hong also said: "Yes, you can see that the fabrics worn by those rich people are also very ordinary. The ladies and ladies were envious when they saw our clothes. If we had these things to sell now, the ladies and ladies would have rushed to ask for them. ”

Yaru looked at Guan Long and Guan Hu again, and asked with a smile, "Two big brothers, what do you think?"

Guan Long and Guan Hu are both their father's right-hand men, and Yaru has used to calling them his elder brother since he was a child. The two had tried to correct her name. But Yaru promised well at the time, but the next time she met these two people, she still called her brother sweetly. Over time, these two people were helpless to her, so Miss could call her if she wanted. So the two of them also recognized her name, but the two of them also respected their third lady more.

The two of them looked at each other, and both had smiles in their eyes. Then Guan Long said, "Miss, I think you all have a point. As long as you say what you do, Miss, the two of us will definitely support you. Guan Hu also smiled and nodded.

Yaru clapped her two little hands and said happily, "Okay, let's sum it up." Make the trade of the capital to this border city in the northwest. ”
