Chapter 427: New Signs of Making Money (2)
The canvas fence surrounding the inn has now been removed, revealing the whole picture, only the signboard is covered with red silk, although you can't go in to visit, but around the wall, this area alone is quite staggering.
The inn is three and a half floors, imitating the general appearance of the inn restaurant in the county, it is the most luxurious building in the village, the top half floor hangs a bell, on the surface it can tell the time to the villagers, but it is also a watchtower, you can easily see the sea, and this half floor is not small at all, you can stand down more than ten people at the same time, if you encounter a foreign enemy invasion, the upstairs arranges people to shoot arrows, and the downstairs can send arrows and ammunition to carry the wounded at the same time.
Not long after the people of Erma Town settled down, Jia Ji's boat came to the village and anchored at the dock where the passengers were picked up and disembarked, Ding Lin, Xue Rui, Fu Xiaoli, Fang Xia, and Yu Yu came by appointment, but the two girls also brought a companion with them, wrapped in a headscarf and covering their faces, lowering their heads and not looking at people, and avoiding the eyes of others.
The maid who picked them up at the dock led them to Zhuangzi to meet Qi Ke, and Qi saw that this girl who seemed to have no face was not surprised, and welcomed the new partner as usual, but the other party's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and Ding Lin told him that the new partner's surname was Zhou, called Zhou Lanchun.
Although he didn't say anything about his family history, the partners who can play with Ding Lin and the second and third generations of officials must have the same family background, and they must have something to look for her when they come here, Qi Ke quietly invited them into the house to wash their hands and drink tea, and the maids took their luggage and sent them to the guest room, that is, the east and west wings of the courtyard, which are now cleaned up and placed with simple furniture, so that people will not be laid on the floor in the ear room.
A few people chattered and praised Qi Ke's Zhuangzi is getting better and better, although most of the villagers have moved out, but after adding a maid, there is still someone in the Zhuangzi who is still popular, otherwise it is so scary to live in such a big Zhuangzi alone, and the house is not popular and nourished and deteriorates very quickly.
Zhou Lanchun couldn't interject and listened silently, even if he wanted to drink water, he gently stroked the face towel with one hand, and stuffed the cup under the face towel with the other hand, and drank the water without dissolving it.
After a pot of tea, and the fatigue of the journey was somewhat reduced, the boys said that they were going to visit the village and ran out first, leaving only the four girls in the house to whisper.
Zhaolin took the maid in and cleaned up the table, replaced it with a new pot of tea and snacks, and then the maid stepped back, and she stood behind Qi Ke.
"You didn't see it just now, now I'll introduce to you, this is my housekeeper Sister Lin, a good housekeeper, since I have her, I'm much easier, you need anything to play here these days, just look for her."
Ding Lin and Xue Rui shouted Sister Lin with a smile, and although Zhou Lanchun did not speak, she nodded slightly and returned the salute dignifiedly.
"Okay, there are no outsiders in the house now, let's talk about it, what is the situation with this Sister Zhou? Does the Qianhu Battalion have any family members brought by the transfer of new generals? ”
"No, I came here alone to relax." Ding Lin gently pushed Zhou Lanchun and motioned for her to take off her scarf, "When you were in the convoy, you were with us, and she was in another team, so you haven't seen it, and when the garrison is dispersed, her Zhou family happens to be in one place with Sister Qiao's family." This is to listen to Sister Qiao's introduction, specially came, just came here for three or four days, if you didn't invite us to play, we also have to take the initiative to come to the door. ”
