Originally, the Zhu family also wanted to call a mother-in-law from the kitchen to follow, but Banniang really couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't even want to take it with her in May, let alone the mother-in-law in the kitchen?

I had to persuade patiently: "Mother, I heard that ordinary people in the capital eat less at home, and they eat more outside. Wouldn't it be troublesome to pay back the maid's son? Besides, when the time comes, it's just to live longer, didn't Brother Seventeen have a house over there, and there will be no one to cook? It's just that no, what I'm best at, isn't it cooking? What else do you want to bring, you don't have to trouble all the way, if you are not accustomed to the soil and water again, don't say take care of me at that time, thank God for not wanting me to take care of it. I promised my mother that when I came back, I would raise a white and chubby one, okay? ”

Lu Siniang lived in Beijing when she was a child, and she also smiled when she heard the words, and then persuaded the Zhu family: "Aunt, what Banniang said is that my brother is in Beijing, and there are fewer times when he opens a gang by himself, and the capital is not as small as mine, where you can buy everything, and the wine shop and restaurant are open all night, and when you want to eat a bite, you can find a place, and there are fewer ordinary people when they cook at their own homes." If you don't worry, the eldest brother and the second brother have all been in the capital, so I called the two brothers to come over and ask, isn't it? ”

Zhu is actually not unaware, but he is just not at ease, Banniang is a girl after all, how can she compare with Dalang Erlang and their men?

But she is also a person who listens to persuasion, and her mother-in-law doesn't have to be called to follow, but she must let Banniang take it in May. Because of May's carefulness, he is very good at taking care of people.

Banniang couldn't, and knew that it was her mother's biggest concession, so she only brought May.

Along the way, May was really dedicated, and even Cang'er was annoyed by her chatter, she had less food, she wanted to read, her clothes were thin, and she wanted to read. I'm sleeping late, so I'm going to read it. If you sit for a long time, you should also read it. Until she turned to the land, this girl was already in the south, and the boat was naturally not dizzy, so she was pitiful for fainting the carriage. On the land road, as soon as the carriage sat down one day, the bones were torn apart, Xu 13 and Lu 17 were riding horses, Banniang and Cang'er were in the carriage, Cang'er was needless to say, Banniang was busy, and in recent years, she also insisted on practicing martial arts every day.

As soon as the carriage sat in the poor May, the whole thing went down, not to mention chattering, and she got out of the carriage every day, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Cang'er laughed at her: "Don't read it this time, right?" Have a good rest, in a few days, we will have to change the waterway, and then all the way north, we will not have to take the land route again. If you don't stop thinking all day, we'll go overland. ”

The frightened May only looked at Banniang pitifully.

Banniang knew that it was not easy to sit in this carriage, and she really pitied this girl, not to mention that May was a person who never went out, it was her, she also felt tired and panicked in the past two days, it is estimated that this girl must be sore all over her body at this time, her stomach was churning, and she was uncomfortable, so she hurriedly comforted: "Don't listen to her, endure it for two more days, and when you turn the waterway, you don't have to suffer this sin again." ”

After a few days, I got on the boat and turned all the way through Guazhou, passing through Jiangning Fu, and then to the north, Yangzhou.

That was the place where Banniang had lived for many years in her previous life.

It is the hometown of her dreams, and it is the peace of mind in her previous life.

Lu Qiqi saw her standing on the cabin stupidly, looking forward to Yangzhou City in the distance.

The early winter sun shines on my body, and it is warm. It's so warm that it makes people want to cry.

I can't go back, I can't go back.

However, this place is right in front of her, thousands of years later, there are two people she loves the most.

Grandpa, Grandma, are you okay?

"We are not in a hurry, why don't we stay in Yangzhou for two days? Let's take a good walk around the city of Yangzhou? Lu Qiqi stood behind her and asked softly.

It is said that fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March.

The flowers and willows on both sides of the river are all according to the water, all the way to the mountain.

But it's early winter.

The catkins have long been exhausted by the cold water, and the enchanting weeping willows are only the bare branches, and there are no Qionghua, no small courtyard where she once lived, and no two kind old people who gave her all their love.

It's not home.

It's just that she's still timid.

Shaking his head, he sighed, "No." ”

It was dusk, and the water was sparkling and scaly, like a river of gold dust. Shine brightly.

Lu Qiqi patted her on the shoulder.

Banniang feels that she is grass, and the spring breeze blows and grows. No matter where she goes, as long as she wants to live well, she will work hard. And then live well.

Such as nostalgia, nostalgia. It was just her occasional weakness.

She's going to live well here. In fact, it's really good. There is a family that loves her, and there are friends who know each other. There is her career.

Because they were not in a hurry to return, a few people could be regarded as playing all the way to the north. When I arrived in the capital, it was already the beginning of November.

I have lived in the south for a long time, and the winter in Bianjing seems to be pervasive. Lu Qiqi has probably gotten used to it in the past two years, and he doesn't feel anything, but he can't stand it in May. Not to mention May, Banniang is wrapped in a fur coat, and she also feels cold in her hands and feet.

Fortunately, we finally got to the place.

Although it is a cold winter, the prosperity of Bianjing City is also dizzying. Crossing the Molong River in the outer city, entering the Nanxun Gate of the outer city and the national city, and then going north, it is the South Gate of the Inner City, the Suzaku Gate, entering the Suzaku Gate, and crossing the state bridge, which is the famous royal street in Bianjing City.

Not only Xu Shisan and Cang'er but also May, Banniang was riding on the horse, and she was really dumbfounded.

This royal street, from the state bridge straight to the imperial city, that is, the south gate of the inner palace Xuande Gate, I heard Lu XVII said before, this royal street is the central axis of the entire Bianjing City. Very wide.

But it's not such a wide law, is it? In her previous life, to be honest, she had never seen such a wide street, two or three hundred meters wide. I heard that in the past, it was also accessible to ordinary people. Later, in order to show the royal majesty, two rows of vermilion lacquer sticks were built in the middle, the center of the royal road, the two sides of the imperial corridor, outside the branches, is the street where pedestrians walk. And in the branches, with bricks and stones to build two water ditches, in the ditch planted lotus lotus, both sides are full of planting peaches, plums, pears and apricots, mixed flowers are intertwined, I heard that in spring and summer, look at it like embroidery. It's a pity that it's the middle of winter, but I can't see such a beautiful scenery.

While listening to Lu Seventeen's introduction, several people sighed.

Lu Qiqi said with a smile: "Wait a few more months, in March, when the new trees sprout, you will be able to see the beautiful scenery, and you will not be able to go back for a while." By the way, the most famous thing in Zhouqiao is the night market, where we live is not far from here, today is a good day off, and you can come out to shop in the evening. The night market here is not comparable to our Nanfeng City. ”

Banniang pointed to the halls of Guangsha on both sides of the royal street and asked Lu Seventeen: "Those magnificent mansions are all the homes of the princes?" ”

The world's largest and most prosperous city is not for nothing.

Lu Qiqi shook his head and smiled: "No, due to the limited capacity of the imperial city, it can't accommodate too many official offices, so most of the central government offices on both sides of this royal street are located. Do you know who Kaifeng Fuyi is now? ”

Seeing her ask, Banniang just didn't know, and probably could guess it, and couldn't help but be excited: "Lord Qingtian?" Bag adult? ”

"Exactly."

Oh God.

Banniang's eyes were about to burst into stars: "You, have you ever seen the live-action version?" ”

Lu Qiqi nodded with a smile: "It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to speak, I just watched it from afar." If you are interested, go back to the fifth watch and get up, stand guard outside the Xuande Gate, and you will be able to see it soon. As he spoke, he pointed at the distance, "Look?" That one is the Kaifeng Mansion, if you are interested, and you are too lazy to get up so early, it is the same to wait there, you will definitely be able to see it alive. ”

Banniang burst out laughing.

Because the two horses were close and their voices were small, Cang'er and May were sitting in the carriage and watching intently with the curtain, so naturally they didn't hear it. Instead, Xu 13 asked the actual question: "Seventeenth son, where are we going?" How far away is it from where you live? ”

Lu Qiqi said with a smile: "It's all about living in the capital, it's not easy, if I'm really just a petty official of the Si Nong Division, let alone this inner city, even the outer city can't take my turn, so I just have to live in the eastern suburbs." It's a pity that we don't have a lot of money, so we live not far from here, and we will arrive in a while. ”

Lu Qiqi bought a house in the capital, although it was not big, it was just a two-entry courtyard of less than three acres, but because the sparrows inside were small, all kinds of organs, rockery pavilions, flowers and trees, it also cost him more than 10,000 yuan.

He's really not bad for money now. In the past two years, soybean oil and soy sauce have been sold all over the Song Dynasty, and workshops have been opened in almost all important cities. Once the two overlords of Nanfeng City, one became an eight-grade petty official of the Si Nong Division, and the other Yan Ran became the most famous merchant in the Great Song Kingdom.

Li Yong's frog, now don't say it's okay to go to Sheraton, I'm afraid that his mother wants to see him, and he has to line up.

With only those two workshops, in addition to half of the profits donated every year, Lu Qiqi also has 70,000 or 80,000 yuan a year. How could he put this more than 10,000 in his eyes.

If you don't think that buying a big mansion is too eye-catching, and you can only act low-key without a strong backstage, with this guy's hedonistic nature, I'm afraid that the house you buy will not be worse than the house given by the prime minister.

Looking all the way, a few people were amazed for a long time, turned a few alleys to the east, entered a very quiet alley, and walked for a while before stopping.

In front of the blue bricks and black tiles, vermilion lacquer gate, there are two stone lions standing at the gate, although the yard does not look big, but it is also magnificent.

Lu Qiqi got off the horse and was about to step forward to knock on the door, when he heard the door squeak open, and a tall man wearing a moon-white Hangzhou silk jacket stepped out of it, and saw a group of people in front of the door, stunned there, with a very wonderful expression on his face, first surprised, then surprised, and then bitter face, and then showed an exaggerated smile again.
