The master and servant happily filled the mountain spring water and wandered around, but Zhu Qianqian on the other end fell into Zhao Zixiu's arms. It is also a coincidence that Zhao Zixiu passed through Centennial County this time in order to find the abbot Jingchen to ask for a medicinal herb, called "Portuguese", which is a herb that grows in the deep mountain cliff, which is of great use to him. Since it is for business, the Red Dust Encounter is not a good time at this moment.

"In the next abruptness, I hope the girl will forgive me!" Although he was hit, Zhao Zixiu still has the basic literacy, I saw him holding a folding fan and clenching his fists with both hands, apologizing to Zhu Qianqian; Of course, although he deliberately concealed his annoyance, there was also a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Childe is polite, it is the little woman who offended Childe!" Zhu Qianqian wanted to go to the back mountain to find Yi Xiangxiang, and when she turned around and asked the maids to hurry up, she didn't pay attention to the people coming from the side, so she accidentally bumped into Zhao Zixiu. She looked at the people in front of her with a gentle attitude and gentle manners, and she already had a good impression; Looking at his appearance again, he is dressed in a dark color dress that is very luxurious, his jet-black hair is set in a delicate white jade hair crown, and his face is so handsome, it is really good-looking! Zhu Qianqian watched, and couldn't help but tremble three times.

But what kind of person is Zhu Qianqian, Miss Chang in the rich mansion, the Zhu family is not a hairpin family, but it is also a bit of a guy, and she usually deals with everyone in Kyoto, and she is sometimes tired of those delicate daughters. So although she was already dazzled by the good boy in front of her, she was not an unreasonable master, and it was her own fault, so she immediately apologized for her luggage.

"The girl is also going to the back mountain?" Zhao Zixiu saw that although the woman in front of him was just a willow, she had a good attitude, unlike the girls in Kyoto who wanted to stick to him in the past, so he let go of his anger; He saw that Zhu Qianqian was about to turn around, and asked generously.

Zhao Zixiu is not a wealthy man who has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, so what he asked was completely polite and polite, and he was serious and not flirtatious at all.

"Exactly! Follow the elders to worship on the mountain, the little sister and the maid went to the back mountain to play, and when I went down the mountain, the elders of the family sent me to find. He explained why he appeared here, and the scale and proportion were just right. Zhu Qianqian saw that Zhao Zixiu was a decent person, so she naturally didn't take Qiao, she replied so generously, in order to wait for the other party's next invitation to go the same way.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zixiu did not invite her to go with her, but said as if he suddenly realized: "I see! I was about to go back to the mountain, but the matter was more urgent, so I took the first step! He arched his hand apologetically.

Zhao Zixiu was originally going to the main hall to find the abbot of Jingchen, he guessed that on a day like today, the abbot should serve the Buddha in the main hall, but he didn't think that the little novice in the main hall said that the abbot went to the back mountain, so he came in a hurry.

"Childe, please." Zhu Qianqian was slightly stunned, but she still said goodbye with a smile. Of course, if she knew that she was the daughter of the Hu family, who was slightly famous in Kyoto, and her appearance was only the appearance of Pu Liu in Zhao Zixiu's heart, she would not have the expectation just now.

Although Zhao Zixiu's trip to the century-old temple did not move the public, Zhu Qianqian's extravagance made Zhu Qianqian know that the person in front of her was not an ordinary person, but the current situation was that even if she was a little curious about him, it was difficult to say anything to keep him. Girls, there is always a bit of reserve.

Zhao Zixiu walked towards the back mountain, not wanting to encounter a ball of yellow clothes and a blue coat rushing past him later; Soon after, he heard the voice of the girl behind him who had just collided with him: "Xiangxiang, you run slowly, be careful not to fall." As soon as Zhao Zixiu turned around, the girls just turned around and left, and he once again didn't see the appearance of the little girl in yellow.

Somehow, Zhao Zixiu had a feeling of loss; He smiled and shook his head, and said to Pang Qi, who was following behind him: "Send a message to my mother, I have found the "Portuguese" in the Centennial Temple, and I will send it back to Kyoto as soon as possible. The affirmation and imperativeness in his words showed his domineering.

Pang Qi said yes, turned around and left neatly, without the slightest doubt about his master's words. Zhao Zixiu opened the folding fan with a snap, shook the fan and continued to go back to the mountain. "Portuguese" is the last herb that the mother concubine needs to treat the disease, and when he passed through Tongzhou, he overheard a medicinal herb merchant say that the abbot of the Centennial Temple had such a medicine in his hand, so he would rather delay the time to return to Beijing and come here to ask for medicine.

That's right, the word "mother" has revealed her identity, although Zhu Qianqian is just a girl, she has lived in the rich circle in Kyoto for so long, and she still has a little bit of ability to watch people, she clearly knows that the man she accidentally bumped into is not a simple character. Indeed, Zhao Zixiu is not simple at all, Zhao Naiguo's surname, this man is the fourth son of the current saint, the prince Zhao Zixiu, his mother Concubine De was a famous talented woman in Kyoto back then, and now she is a favored harem; And why did Zhao Zixiu look for medicine for it? Let's wait for it to be tabled.

Yi Xiangxiang followed Zhu Qianqian and his party to meet with the Lin family and others, and a large group of people went down the mountain and returned to Yifu. At dinner, Zhu Yulin and his wife said goodbye to Yi Xi and his wife, saying that they had been bothering for a long time, and it was time to leave. Yi Xihu wanted to stay with the big brother for two more days, but the cool Hu said very directly that he didn't feel embarrassed to stay for a long time, but that the winter was coming, and it would be inconvenient to return to Beijing when it was cold, so Yi Xihu and his wife let go.

"The Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun to send me love." Yi Xihu gave full play to the true meaning of this poem, holding Zhu Yulin's hand and inseparable, quite a bit of a mother-in-law.

Although Zhu Yulin's family came to Bainian County this time for a simple trip, the maids and servants also brought a lot, and at this time, the carriages were parked at the main gate of Yifu, and they also asked passers-by to stop and find out. As the number of onlookers gradually increased, Lin considered that her husband still had a little bit of official authority in the past hundred years of county officials, so she had to stop Lord Yi's Rory, and Mrs. Zhu Seeing this, Mrs. Hu quickly pulled her husband into the carriage.

"My sister doesn't know when she will be able to see her sister again, my sister should take good care of herself, girls should eat less ice, and they should not be greedy for cold in autumn." Zhu Qianqian said earnestly with Yi Xiangxiang. Although she also has sisters in her family, they are all concubines, and they are always separated by such a layer; I have been with Yi Xiangxiang's little sister for so many days in Yifu, although the latter has a weak temperament and is greedy for playfulness, but he is also somewhat emotional.

"Thank you sister for your concern, it's a long way to Kyoto, and you should take care of it all the way." Yi Xiangxiang said that she was still very polite and face-saving.

Zhu Qianqian nodded with a smile and stepped into the carriage; Yi Luochuan also said goodbye to the Zhu brothers, and when they boarded the carriage and sat down, the group went away in the early morning breeze.

The departure of the Zhu family made Yi Mansion quiet again, but Zhu Qianqian's departure did not make Yi Xiangxiang feel bored, on the contrary, she was more happy. In order to take care of Zhu Qianqian's feelings before, although she still had fun, she was more or less temperamental. And there was an outsider living in the yard, and she was still a little uncomfortable. After Zhu Qianqian left, she was crooked, except for the general class in the morning, shaking her head and reading those two poems, and the rest of the time she could be happy.

Centennial County is very far away from Kyoto, there is no Kyoto's flowers, but the folk customs are simple, since Yixi Lake came, the reform and governance are only orderly, and now the flowers are even more unique.

"Sister, my mother said that you want her to open a restaurant, what's the matter? Can't satisfy your stomach with the cook at home? Yi Luochuan came out of his mother's yard and came to his sister's courtyard, and saw Yi Xiangxiang tremblingly cutting and picking moon flowers in her small yard, so he took the flower scissors in her hand.

"Why, how greedy I am! Just a few days ago to the Centennial Temple, found that the incense there is even more vigorous, think that the merchants have spread the fame of the Centennial Temple, and then the merchants who pass through Tongzhou as long as they are not in a hurry, they should come to the Centennial County to take a trip. There are a lot of restaurants and inns in the city, but there are not many distinctive ones, and there is no restaurant with food characteristics. I want my mother to open a restaurant, supplemented by accommodation, specializing in food, and I will definitely make a lot of money. "Tongzhou is the only way to Kyoto, the ancient people believed in Buddhism and re-Buddha, the current fame of the Centennial Temple is enough for these laid-back and boring ancients to come here, plus some literati who come here to enjoy the flowers and scenery, the flow of visitors is not at all worried. Moreover, as long as the publicity is done properly, the restaurant will make a famous hall with some food characteristics, which is a big gimmick!

"It's also distinctive, obviously to satisfy yourself." Yi Luochuan cut off a moon flower and handed it to Yi Xiangxiang.

"I can't do anything if you think so, but brother, in the future, we will have our own restaurant, you can bring your classmates in the academy to have a drink, wouldn't it be happy?" Yi Xiangxiang smiled even treacherously!

Although Yi Luochuan is only nine years old this year, because he was placed on high hopes by the Hu family, he was sent to the academy in Bainian County at the age of seven. He has been raised very upright since he was a child, and he will naturally fight back against the hint of "walking birds and drinking" in his sister's mouth! He stretched out his hand and gave Yi Xiangxiang a popping chestnut, and the latter exhaled in pain.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Mother said that the restaurant wants me to take care of it, you better think about how to convince me! Yi Luochuan said seriously.

When Yi Xiangxiang heard her brother say this, she knew that there was a play, so she said with a smile: "Brother, look, my father has been working hard for the county in the past few years, and his hair has turned gray, and we have to share the burden as children!" Don't worry, I'll help you draw up the restaurant menu, and you just take care of the people, so it's not troublesome. Besides, my mother asked you to preside over this matter, and at first glance, it was my own lack of skills, and by the way, I also experienced my brother, how could my brother have to take on this challenge, right? Yi Xiangxiang said that he had received and released.

Not to mention that men's personal heroism is the easiest to control, the word "challenge" naturally makes Yi Luochuan's eyes shine. But he still had a score in front of his sister, so he still said with a straight face:

"Just your poor mouth, writing a menu? How many words can you recognize? Yi Luochuan laughed mercilessly at his sister.

"Hey, brother, you look down on people, I can't write and I can't say it! Miaoqin will write it for me! Yi Xiangxiang pouted, a look of dissatisfaction.

The final result was naturally Yi Xiangxiang's victory, Yi Luochuan knew that his sister was interested in business, but it was difficult for her to come forward because of her young age, since her mother agreed, she was naturally willing to help hang up this name.

In fact, seriously speaking, apart from Yi Luochuan, which of the Yi family is not interested in doing business? Not to mention Mrs. Yi, after all, it is in the past tense, and Mrs. Yi Lin is also in charge of a few shops. She said that she was really not free, day by day, the accounts in the family's shop, and the Zhuangzi fields in the back of the century-old county, which didn't matter. Not to mention Yi Xihu, he was taught from Mrs. Yi and used his business acumen in the governance of a century-old county.

That's right, over the years, Yi Xihu has been the county magistrate for a hundred years, and has integrated his own business and economy, interspersed with the governance of the county, and supported businessmen to stabilize the economy; Although he is the "head snake" in the county, he has never suppressed the "strong dragon", not only has many friendships with the local gentry and officials, but also even brings in the merchants who pass by to entertain them. Ancient merchants had no status, and so did the Li Dynasty, and Yixi's move greatly added a lot of points to the hearts of merchants, so when the hundred-year-old county started commercial reform, it was completely effortless.

In fact, the way of business reform is still an idea given by Yi Xiangxiang. Miss Yifu loves money, and it is already well known in Centennial County. Visiting the bookstore never buys a collection of poems and songs by great writers, but lets their maids pick up books and strange anecdotes, as well as some business books, and buy them for the little girl to carry home. These books are put in modern times as "how to get rich overnight", what is "self-made business empire" and the like, not to mention anything else, Yi Xiangxiang's move at the very beginning, made the people of Centennial County wonder if the county magistrate deducted the eldest lady's degree, and forced a milk doll to the point of worrying about how to make money.

In fact, the milk doll Yi Xiangxiang doesn't look at those business experiences very much, according to common sense, she doesn't know a few words at her age; In order to pass the time and not want to be seen through, her literacy speed is amazing, and she even asked Miaoqin to read it to her; And the reason for buying these books is just that she wants to create an image that she likes to do business since she was a child, and provide a justifiable way for future means of accumulating money.

Therefore, when Yi Xihu was worried about the economy of the century-old county, Yi Xiangxiang's "business experience" naturally came in handy. Before the hundred years of county, it was actually not so rich, although it was not so bad that it could not be opened, but it was only enough to eat and wear. Yixihu initially wanted to improve the economy, but could not do so. Although Mrs. Yi was also a businessman at the beginning, after all, in the gold nest in Kyoto, as long as you have a little brain, you can make some money. Old Lady Yi has a good ability to recognize people, but if you ask him to improve the economy of a county, he really doesn't have the ability. Yi Xihu is a seven-rank official, except for the master and the catcher, he doesn't even have a staff, and this once made Yi Xihu worry about governing the economy.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to give Yi Xihu any ideas at first, she had been in this world for less than three years, and she didn't know the economy and people here, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense. It's just that once when Yi Xihu took her to the garden, Yi Xiangxiang was very surprised and said in a milky voice: "The things in this garden are really fast, and the seeds that were sprinkled by Miaoqin yesterday have sprouted!" ”

Yixi Lake really looks at it, the soil of Bainian County is fertile, probably because of the relationship between geology and weather, even the grain grows faster than that of neighboring counties, why not plant something else? During dinner that night, he mentioned this matter to Mrs. Yi, who suggested planting flowers, after all, they were made of spices, and he had a lot of experience in raising flowers and plants.

Yi Xihu made a score in his heart, farming cannot be abandoned, and the matter of food must still be self-sufficient; But flowers can also be grown, but where are they sold? Although there are also gentry officials in Bainian County who can appreciate the "luxuries" of consuming flowers and plants, most of them are ordinary villagers and will not spend money on ornamental things; And the flowers are fragile, and it is certainly not realistic to export them, so this is another problem.

"Why can't they just let them see it for themselves? Some of the great talents in my brother's academy love Wing Chun and praise winter, so we will plant the whole piece, enjoy peaches in spring, chrysanthemums in autumn, and play a piano in the bamboo forest, literati and artists don't love to do this! When Yi Xiangxiang said this, she was eating the sweet soup fed by Mama Li, and her complaining tone was somewhat disgusted with many literati and ink writers, which caused Lin to roll his eyes uncontrollably.

However, what Yi Xiangxiang said is not nothing, Yi Luochuan's academy is the largest academy in Centennial County, and there are really some literati who chant poems every day and don't do anything. Lin knows that there is a talented man surnamed Li who is very famous in Centennial County, and he is famous not because of his good poetry or high knowledge, but because he likes to sing the praises of bamboo and drill into the bamboo forest when he sees the sky.

Don't say it, Yi Xihu listened to Yi Xiangxiang's fairy tales, but he thought it was feasible, so he did it! Unexpectedly, it really attracted many talented and beautiful people to travel to the century-old county to enjoy the flowers, and there are many places far away to step on the spring! This place is far away is another keyword, you don't go back on the day you come, and you don't have a relative to stay, you have to find a place to live after enjoying the scenery, right? In this way, the business of the restaurant inn has also improved; After that, somehow it was rumored that the Bodhisattva of the Centennial Temple was very effective, and after coming and going, the economy of the Centennial County was instantly brought up by such a butterfly effect.

Since then, Centennial County has become a good place to enjoy mountains and trees, flowers and scenery, and the wallets of the people of Centennial County have also bulged, and they have become more and more fond of Yixi Lake, the county order.
