Chapter 156: Turn on the lights
When the old woman saw that the woman said good words, she quickly wiped her tears: "Little boy, where is your home, if you miss your grandson in the future, can you go and see it?" ”
"Why don't you come along?" Jin Ling looked at the old woman with gray hair. was supposed to be a good old man, but her son died, and she had to face the creditors who came to the door every day, this old woman was pitiful enough.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My old man has bad legs and feet, and I still have to take care of him, let me think about it, and wait until I pay off my gambling debts." I'll talk to the old man about it. ”
"Rui'er go get the money!" Jin Ling got up, "Give her all the money tickets." ”
"No, no!" The old woman hurriedly said, "My son probably owes three or five hundred taels of silver, but our Zhuang family only has three or five taels of silver a year, which is really not enough for us.....
"That's easy!" Jin Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's get two silver tickets of five hundred taels for my mother-in-law, half of them will be repaid, and the other half will be pensioned!" ”
The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jin Ling for a moment: "Living Bodhisattva, God opens his eyes, our Li family has been transferred......"
"Second Uncle Du!" Jin Ling stretched out her hand to help the old woman and said to a family member in the back, "You send your mother-in-law back, take care of it, don't expose your wealth, you live in his house for a period of time first, make sure that the gambling debts are cleared, and they are safe, and then come to me." ”
"Don't worry, Childe!" Second Uncle Du hurriedly said, "I'll leave this matter to Du Er." ”
"I haven't asked Eun Gong's name yet!" The old woman was helped to stand up by Jin Ling, and she didn't know what to say.
"My surname is Jin, and the word is Ling." Jin Ling said in a low voice.
After settling the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it was already dark.
Watch the lively crowd see and disperse.
Jin Ling was about to turn around and go back to the car, when he saw an old man step forward and bow his hand to Jin Ling: "This little boy is Jin Ling with the same name as the wine fairy?" ”
Jin Ling was stunned.
The old man in front of him was wearing a fine silk robe, and his face was ruddy and delicate, and he was pampered at a glance.
"Hmm!" Jin Ling smiled and nodded, "Is there something wrong with this uncle?" ”
"No, no!" The old man hurriedly smiled and said, "It's just that the little boy is righteous, and the little old man has feelings, so don't bother." ”
"Nope!" Jin Ling also smiled, "If it's okay, I'll have to go back to the car." ”
"Wait!" The old man hurriedly said, "Are you businessmen?" You see it's getting late, but there's a place to stay? How many properties does Xiao Lao'er have, do you want to rent it? The price gives you the reserve price. ”
Jin Ling looked at the old man again.
She had originally planned to go directly to Ying Tiancheng to live. Now the trip has been delayed, and it is not good to rush through it in case the city gate is closed.
Since the old man took the initiative to rent a house for them, then she would not refuse.
"Good! I'll take a look first! ”
"Good!" Seeing Jin Ling's agreement, the old man smiled hurriedly, "I'll show you the way." There are many houses in my house, in the western suburbs, in the eastern suburbs, in the northern suburbs, and everywhere in Jinling City. You see that you are going to do business, which alley you see, you tell me, I will leave the house to you...... Just a few steps, Childe might as well walk over. Xiao Lao'er can also introduce the situation here to the child, and it is convenient for you to do business, isn't it ......"
After crossing the boundary bridge, you will reach the realm of Yingtian.
Like the town of Three Bridges, the closer you get to the bridge, the more prosperous it becomes.
"The little old man's surname is Xia, he is old, and he has eight sisters, and everyone here calls me Xia Jiuye...... Our ancestors of the Xia family were in the house buying and selling business. I deserve my life. Eight sisters, but I myself gave birth to eight sons, and now that the sons are all older, they have gone to run the family business, and I'm idle......" Maybe he was afraid that Jin Ling would not trust him, and Xia Jiuye told his situation in a few words along the way.
"Xia Jiu Ye is really lucky!" Jin Ling sighed.
While the group was talking, Xia Jiuye took Jin Ling to the house he said.
In fact, I didn't take a few steps. The house is just a short distance east of the bridge. It's still a big mansion. The main entrance faces north, and the other three parties are two-story carved buildings, so it is not a problem to live a dozen people. The yard is also large, with stables, verandahs, water features, and rockeries.
"This is a stilted building!" The old man pointed to a two-story building due south, "Living on the second floor and watching the sunrise over the Yongjin River is a must." Now that there is a goddess building, it will look even better! ”
The chariot and horse entourage all entered the courtyard. The housekeeper led the carriage to the stable.
Rui'er, the mother-in-law of the Du family, and the mother and son of the Li family, as well as Tian Fei, followed Jin Ling.
"I'd better live over there!" Jin Ling pointed to the two-story building on the west side, "The ground is built steadily." ”
"Little boy, don't worry, the stilted building is also down-to-earth, absolutely safe, look!" The old man pointed to the east, "The lights of the Goddess Building are on. I heard that this temple was designed and built by Zhuge Gang, a disciple of Ge Xuan, a skilled craftsman in the previous dynasty. The building has an octagonal building, and there are light boxes on each corner. There are nine floors in total, and this is the first time that the Goddess Building has been lit up at night since it was built. The little boy is lucky. I heard that this goddess building will be bright every night in the future! In the future, it will be convenient for merchants to sail at night. This goddess building is not only beautiful but also practical......"
Jin Ling squinted, and saw that the goddess building in the east was red, like a red tower in the night sky.
At this time, Qi Huan was sitting on the moon viewing platform on the second floor, watching the Goddess Building light up from top to bottom.
Mrs. Liu sat beside Qi Huan and sighed, "Your Majesty, you said that standing on this goddess's upstairs can see how far the river can be?" ”
"I haven't been on it, I don't know!" Qi Huan replied lazily.
"Three or four days to go!" Mrs. Liu sighed, "When the time comes, the king will have to be optimistic." ”
"Why?" Qi Huan looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile, "It's not that you can't get on!" ”
"The old minister is afraid of heights!" Mrs. Liu smiled and lowered her voice, "The old minister just thought, if such tall towers are built around Yingtian, wouldn't all the waterways be in full view at that time.....
"Hmm!" Qi Huan nodded, "Good idea!" When he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he gave him advice. ”
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Liu suddenly had the urge to beat his chest, "This is not a joke. ”
"Can you think of it, but no one else can think of it?" Qi Huan glanced at Mrs. Liu, "Okay!" Don't say anything, it's always okay to listen to God's will. ”
At this moment, Sima Yu, who came out of the teahouse with Jin Xiang, looked up at the goddess building in the south: "Look! How pretty! It's like a lighthouse. ”
"Beautiful!" Jin Xiang also squinted his eyes at the red goddess building, "My sister will definitely like it too." ”
"Hey!" Sima Yu, who was pretending to be a merchant, sighed, "It's just that this building is tall and wooden, and there are so many lights, it won't be good if it catches fire." ”
