Chapter 113: Jiangnan
Lin Shuqing turned her gaze to Zhang Liqiang on the side and stared at him, as if asking for his opinion.
"Lin Gongzi, I'll follow you to have a look." The corners of Zhang Liqiang's mouth curved slightly.
Although Lin Shuqing had a certain answer in her heart, she was inevitably a little apprehensive when she went to a strange place alone. After all, she is still a teenage girl, and it is more reliable to bring acquaintances after all.
A few darts went to the backyard to settle things, and they had to arrive a little late, and Boss Zhang was the best candidate.
Following the direction guided by the guys in the store, Lin Shuqing finally knew what it meant to be different.
The inn here is not a wooden building with several houses lined up on the first floor, but a few small courtyards by the river.
Because this store is far away and not in the busy street, this area is also quite large.
Lin Shuqing's courtyard also has an elegant name, called Tingfeng Courtyard.
Pushing the door in, you will see a vat of water lotus, with pink flowers waiting to be released, and next to it is the dying red lotus.
Half of the yard is open, leading to the river below.
There is also a low-lying area where the river flows, similar to a pond, but not as large as a pond, and it is a small puddle, which is also deeper than the puddle.
A wooden bridge was built over the river on this side to connect the two sides of the river.
The river is only a few meters wide, and the bridge is also tiled with wooden blocks.
Some of them were on the water, and some of them were made with a slightly lower staircase, and at a place parallel to the water, they were extended to the shore, and high fences were made on both sides.
If there is any convenient place about the bridge below, it is probably better to have access to water.
When Lin Shuqing looked at the lower half of the small bridge, she thought to herself that it would be very convenient for the water to come up and wash her feet on a rainy day, or at another time.
Of course, it is also very convenient to wash your feet now, and you can directly put your feet into the water without worrying about falling.
In addition, there is a tree planted in the yard, and there are many flowers planted in the corner of the courtyard wall.
Lin Shuqing was not surprised, but she also felt that this person was really rich, so she believed in her so much, and directly arranged a yard for her!
Aren't you worried that she won't be able to save Red Lotus at all?
"Childe, our inn has also arranged a laundry and cooking mother-in-law for you, if you have anything you want to eat and want to buy, just go and tell the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law will serve you food, come immediately."
After the two finished speaking, they respectfully retreated.
"Lin Gongzi, are you still satisfied with the environment here?" Zhang Liqiang quipped.
Lin Shuqing carried a small burden, with a helpless smile on her face: "Satisfaction is satisfaction, but this place is too big, and it is still a little far, I am afraid that I will not find the way back, and I will bother Boss Zhang to take me around later." ”
The road to here was so winding that she couldn't remember the way back.
"It's a trivial matter, if the girl is not at ease, just ask the store to call a little maid to come over, and the inn here can also find a maid for the guests to serve."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lin Shuqing put the things in the house, closed the door and prepared to follow Zhang Liqiang out to see a few head catchers.
In the small courtyard separated by a wall, a gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves against the wall rustled.
A man in a black silver-rimmed robe with an ink hosta on his head sat on the ground against the wall, listening with his eyes half-open.
"If the master wants to see him, why don't he go there?" A few paces away, there was a guard dressed in a conference and wearing a knife.
If Lin Shuqing was at the scene, he would be able to recognize that the person in front of him was seven points similar to Fang Yuan before.
If Fang Yuan was a martial arts family who walked the rivers and lakes and had a lot of money in her heart, now she is transformed, extravagant and unattainable.
"Ah Jiu, do you think I should go to her?" Fang Yuan still looked up at the sky above and asked.
"Master, you ...... Do you like this girl? If you like it, it's better to bring her to the house, this status is lower, but it's better than her being a peasant girl, and you can have no worries about food and clothing in the future! ”
"Deduct your monthly money for ten days, and pay attention to yourself when you talk in the future."
“…… Yes, master. The gray-clothed guard's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"There will be a next time, and the military stick will be disposed of, and I will also tell the people inside and outside the house."
"Master, I was wrong, give me a chance to make up for it!"
"Look, it's better to think of a way to lure this Miss Lin to the capital to do business, so that if you want to see it, it will be much more convenient, and maybe you can take care of Miss Lin in the future!" The guard said.
“…… Offset the merits and demerits"
In this way, the expression on the guard's face was much better.
"Tomorrow I will go find some merchants from Fanbang and let them see them, no, just today." Fang Yuan said.
"You wait here carefully and protect her."
"Yes, master."
Fang Yuan said, glancing at the opposite side of the wall, then turned around and left.
Lin Shuqing found a few darts and placed them all in his yard.
I thought that the yard where she lived was really big, and there were three or four empty rooms in it, which just happened to save a lot of money.
Lin Shuqing couldn't understand why the son surnamed Xie was so generous, it wasn't like this when she wanted to buy flowers, and this time she specially prepared a small yard with a lot of money.
She asked the woman for some food scraps, and she tinkered with them in the yard for a long time before going out.
According to Boss Zhang, the most beautiful thing in the south of the Yangtze River here is the night scene.
She has seen a lot of night scenes with various lights in modern times, but she has never seen them in an antique style.
By dusk, the lanterns in the streets and alleys were lit.
Although the brightness of a lantern may not be enough, so many of them are not as bright as day, but they are also very spectacular.
This reminded Lin Shuqing of the previous event of hundreds or thousands of Kong Ming lanterns flying at the same time in a certain country in East Asia.
The whole person is like swimming in a sea of starlight.
Compared with the heat of the day, the night seems to be much cooler, and there are many melons and fruits and snacks produced by their own small workshops to sell.
Their baskets are filled with flowers, which are even more delicate.
The men and women who came and went were less gorgeously dressed, but the smiles on their faces were full of happiness.
And most of those gorgeous ladies sit in sedan chairs, or travel with a group of maids and wives, looking mighty, and many of them still have lamps in their hands.
There are also many people who look at the prodigal rich sons and scholars, joking with the little girl selling flowers on the street, or chasing the young girl to flirt.
In Lin Shuqing's opinion, all this is really a bit too moving, much better than the kind of place in their Qiong countryside.
