"It doesn't feel so bumpy." Qi Ke held the reins in his right hand, raised his left hand and waved it, "Last year, I came back from Qianhusuo alone with wolves and a team of mules and horses, and there were no other accidents except for encountering robbers on the way, at that time I only felt that the road was broken, but today I feel that it is only a year, and the road surface is even more broken." What does this mean? This road has not even been maintained basically, and it has been allowed to get worse and worse. ”

"Then the matter of road construction is on the agenda, take the opportunity of this tea party to mention it to Cheng Feng."

"Well, anyway, Siliu Village only pays its own share of the money."

"The money in the public account is only enough for the portion." Zhaolin gave Qi Ke a reassurance, "I don't want to have more, the thousand taels are the principal of the cotton business." ”

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

The two chatted while walking, and after Qi Ke continued to endure for a while, he didn't want to suffer anymore, so under the cover of Zhaolin, all the staff retreated back to the Qianhe Realm to rest.

Zhaolin calculated how long it would take to walk to the town based on their pace just now, and then pinched the time to appear outside Daliu Village, passing by the entrance of the village with a dusty look, and finally saw the entrance of the town after a few miles.

Although the soldiers in the town can't be named in Qi Ke's eyes, they are all familiar faces, and since she entered the town, someone has constantly greeted her, Qi Ke also returned the salute enthusiastically, and under their guidance, she smoothly came to the side door of the hundred households, and after showing the letter inviting her to participate in the tea party according to the rules, she was let in, and the soldiers took them in, and sent them to the door of the inner house to be picked up by the women inside.

The inner house also includes the residence of the military dependents, and those who can bring their families must have positions and statuses, so the inner houses of the hundred households are the same as the inner houses of the thousand households, and each family lives in a small courtyard, which is very lively.

Qi Ke brought so many people, a small courtyard was all arranged, the house was still very spacious, a few people in one room was not cramped, it would be difficult to walk if there were too many people, and their horses were also taken to the stable to take care of after unloading their luggage.

When guests come from afar, the first thing they do is to settle down, pack their luggage, wash their hands and face and change their clothes, and then go to visit the host after dressing up.

Qi Ke sat in the house for a while and visited the small courtyard, but he never saw Sun Yulian send someone over, and he still wanted to wash his hands and clean his face, but he didn't even have a pot of hot water.

Zhaolin immediately adjusted the surveillance screen and found that the soldiers were leading Qi Ke to the inner house on the way, Sun Yulian knew that she had arrived, but she didn't say a word, didn't give any orders, as if there was no such person, and only chatted with friends with a smile on her face, nostalgic for the past.

And it was actually someone else's military family who answered Qi Ke at the door before, that is, the lady was busy with her subordinates and didn't ask her military family members to help take care of her, she was not Sun Yulian's subordinate at all, and they naturally left after helping, and Qi Ke was left in the small courtyard and no one cared.

"What do you mean? Give me a horse? I was not welcomed as soon as I walked through the door? So why invite me? Can't do it? Qi Ke looked at the real-time picture projected by the mirror and sneered.

Zhao Lin opened a new picture, projected a panoramic map of the hundred households, and marked the small courtyard where they lived with Sun Yulian and other guests, and found that although Qi Ke's small courtyard also belonged to the guest house, the location was relatively remote, not in the area where the guests gathered, and if you wanted to go over to the door, you had to turn a few corners.
