The night was vast, listening to the sound of insects in the forest, Wan Chaoyun quickly left the army, and after only half an hour, he saw the people waiting by the broken bridge.
She ran over, and he held out his hands to greet her.
"Sir, did you lure that gang of bandits?" Wan Chaoyun raised his head, looking like you don't want to lie to me.
Chen Qian gently cupped her face, although the red marks on her face were gone, she could still see that she had been beaten, and immediately blamed herself again, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Wan Chaoyun shook his head, took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him, "I'm afraid that you won't have any medicine to eat, so I've sent it to you." ”
"It's me who is bad and has wronged you." He couldn't control himself anymore, tightened his hands, hugged them, and never wanted to let go of them.
"You haven't told me if you lured the bandits." Wan Chaoyun asked.
"No, but when I was the secretary of the military department before, I promoted a general, but the world has been peaceful all these years, and he has no chance to perform, so I will use a little trick to give him the opportunity to lead the soldiers to the bandits' den, and in return, he will send someone to personally escort your mother and them back to Beijing, you can rest assured, your father and mother will be fine."
Wan Chaoyun was dumbfounded, "Without the talisman, can you transfer troops?" ”
"It's just an encounter, it's fine." He said lightly, the bandits were not led by him, no matter how much he wanted to get her, he would not do anything to deliberately put her in danger and stand up as a hero, but he just knew that the bandits were going to act, and while sending him a message, he took advantage of the situation to give his former subordinates an idea, so that he could mobilize the army without a military talisman.
Wan Chaoyun: "......"
"Encounters? Didn't you say they were going to serve the bandits' den? Wan Chaoyun couldn't help laughing.
"It was originally a daily training, but I accidentally met the bandits, and the bandits made the first move." Chen Qian took her hand, crossed the broken bridge, and went in a farther direction.
Wan Chaoyun chuckled when he heard this, "Sir, you are good or bad, but I think you can be worse, it doesn't matter if you led that bandit over, my people are just going to practice." ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to beat it." He had been worried for a few hours, and it wasn't until he saw her that he was a little relieved.
The sound faded away in the night.
The next day, at dawn, the Wen family, who were about to leave, suddenly found that there were more officers and soldiers near them, and they did not take the initiative to talk, but rushed to their own roads, but when they stopped, the officers and soldiers also stopped and set up camp not far away.
There were officers and soldiers who went together, taking advantage of the chaos to go up the mountain and fall into the grass as a coward, and the mountain bandits who robbed money did not dare to provoke them easily when they saw it, and the group walked extremely safely.
And Wan Chaoyun has appeared in Lannan County with Chen Qian.
Many years have passed, Lannan County is no longer what it was at the beginning, the large forests that were cut down back then are now planted with rape flowers, but the flowering period has passed, and the golden scenery of the mountains is not visible.
However, the sunflowers all over the mountains are in bloom, and the big flowers are full of the hillside, and under the morning light, the sunflowers are like smiling faces, inexplicably giving people an upward and positive feeling.
In addition to sunflowers, there are also various fruit trees, but the flowering period has passed, and in less than two months, you can see the fruits hanging on the branches.
There are even fruit trees that are full of fruit, such as the golden autumn pear.
"Sir, there are pears." Wan Chaoyun happily pointed to the pear trees in front of him.
There are garden keepers here, they have been accustomed to it, since the launch of the Wuxu Commercial Bank tourism project, although there has not been large-scale publicity, but there have been literati and scholars to play here one after another.
"Girl, sir, are you here to play?" The young keeper asked.
"Well, can you pick this pear?"
Chen Qian doesn't talk often, and many times he just stands behind Wan Chaoyun, pampering her, and spoiling her no matter what she does.
"You can pick it, but you have to give a hundred dollars to enter the garden, and you can take the fruit back when you leave, but we need to collect the silver at the market price." The gardener said extremely politely.
When Chen Qian heard this, he immediately took out the silver and handed it to the garden keeper, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
"All right, girl, please come with me, sir." The keeper made a gesture of please and led them into the path.
Entering the orchard, Wan Chaoyun immediately reached out to pick the golden autumn pears, these golden autumn pears are not ripe, most of them are not edible, but each plant can find one or two ripe.
Five or six-year-old pear trees are at the time of good yield, and the fruits are one by one, pressing the branches low, and some branches even need to be held up by people with shelves so that they will not break.
I picked a fruit, wiped it with a handkerchief, and took a bite, "Sweet!" ”
Yu Shan had the heart to remind you, you should also wash it, but it was too late, Wan Chaoyun took a second bite.
After eating, he handed it to Chen Qian, "Sir, you can taste it." ”
Chen Qian took it, and he didn't dislike being eaten by Wan Chaoyun, so he took a bite, nodded and said, "It's really sweet." ”
"The pears in our Lannan County are the varieties personally selected by Lord Wen, which are sweeter than those in other places, girl, I see that you like to eat sweet fruits, why don't you go ahead and have a look?" With the vineyards in front of you, the fruiting season is almost over, and you have just in time for the last batch. ”
Wan Chaoyun stretched out his hand and picked two more pears and handed them to Chen Qian to hold, then lifted his skirt and followed behind the gardener, "What grapes do you have here?" ”
"Green grapes, red grapes, black grapes, depending on what flavor you like, some are a little sour, some are meaty, and some are juicy."
While speaking, Wan Chaoyun saw a few ripe pears, picked them off, and handed them to Chen Qian.
Continue walking, meet again, take it off, or hand it to Chen Qian.
As he walked, he took seven or eight pears in his hands, and he couldn't hold them with both hands, so he hugged them, Yu Shan and Lan Qi intended to help, but they were embarrassed to open their mouths, and even felt that they had a lot of redundancy......
"Girl, sir, look, vineyard." The gardener pointed to the courtyard not far away.
Wan Chaoyun and Chen Qian looked at the same time, and sure enough, they saw rows of grape racks not far away, and in the vineyard, there were many people picking grapes that were ripe, but no one had bought them.
"We also sell all kinds of raisins here, girl, this is, you can taste it, it's very sweet." The keeper was very enthusiastic, and as soon as he entered, he began to sell raisins, "These raisins will not worry about spoiling for a long time, and they are sweet, and if they can be paired with Wuweiju biscuits, they will taste even better." ”
Wan Chaoyun tasted a raisin, and immediately nodded, "It's delicious, I'll pack some later, and eat and play on the way." ”
"It seems that the girl knows the goods, and the raisins we have here are all dried in the shade, not in the sun, and the raisins exposed to the sun will be a little sour."
"You're doing a good business." Wan Chaoyun glanced at the vineyard, there are many people doing things, if the business is not good, he can't afford to invite such people.
When the garden keeper heard this, he immediately said proudly: "That is, the raisins in our Lannan County are tribute-level, and they have to pay tribute to the imperial court every year, and the Wuxu Commercial House comes to us to buy raisins." ”
"Is there anything else I can take with me on the road besides raisins?" Wan Chaoyun asked.
"Yes, there are all kinds of candied fruits, dried fruits, if the girl wants, I will take the girl to pick them."
"Sir." Wan Chaoyun looked back at Chen Qian.
Chen Qian immediately nodded, "Listen to you." ”
"Girl, in addition to dried fruits, there are also small snacks of dried tofu." Lannan County and Hexian County are neighbors, and the two counties have cooperated and supported each other in recent years.
Wan Chaoyun grabbed a handful of raisins and said, "Let's go, go pick dried fruits." ”
"Girl, please." The head of the garden led the way, "Look at Mr. dignified, elegant and elegant, presumably it is very literary and talented, we will pass through a bamboo sea later, there is an inn in the bamboo sea, the two of you can set the inn?" ”
"Never." Wan Chaoyun shook his head, "The inn in the bamboo sea? ”
"Yes, our Zhuhai Inn in Lannan County is composed of sixteen stretching mountain peaks, and each courtyard only accommodates one guest, or a wave of guests."
The inn is not her attention, it must have been thought of by the people below, the business house has been managed by the old man all these years, and there is no doubt that he approved the construction.
"In addition to the Zhuhai Inn, there is also the Flower Sea Inn, but it is no longer the flowering period, only a few flowers and trees are blooming, not the first few months of the mountain is full of purple and red, if the Zhuhai Inn and the Flower Sea Inn girls don't like it, we still have Meilin, but the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, and they have to come in winter, and the mountains are full of red plums, which is the most beautiful."
"Is it expensive?" Wan Chaoyun didn't expect beauty, only thought that it must be expensive.
The garden keeper shook his head, "I see that Mr. and the girl are from everyone's background, and they are only a few dozen taels of silver, which is difficult for the two of you, and we also have cheap inns, but they are no different from inns elsewhere." ”
Wan Chaoyun understood it, it turned out to be for consumption, fine.
"Girl, sir, look, Zhuhai." The gardener suddenly pointed to the distance and said loudly.
Looking at it, Wan Chaoyun and Chen Qian were shocked, only to see the distant mountains and bamboos waves, the emerald green bamboo dancing in the wind, wave after wave, obviously not the sea, but it gave people a feeling of being on the coast.
Under the golden sunshine, the blue sea and golden waves are like a fairyland.
"Will there be snakes if you live here?" After Wan Chaoyun was shocked, she asked something that was extremely damaging to the beauty, she was most afraid of snakes.
The garden keeper shook his head when he heard this, "Girl, don't worry, we all grow anti-snake herbs here, there will be no snakes, and there is snake medicine in the inn, bring it when you go out to play, and ensure that it is okay." ”
"It's me who is overthinking."
"Yes, human nature, many people also have this concern, by the way, the girl and the gentleman want to experience the market life?" He has received countless people, and it can be seen at a glance that these two are not from low backgrounds, and they must have never experienced market life.
Wan Chaoyun was speechless, what kind of experience is this?
"How?"
"Do some handicrafts, such as knitting flower hats, silk flowers, and hairpins for the girl, and have a special master to teach."
Wan Chaoyun: "......" has been developed well, and this has become a business.
"By the way, does the girl know how to play the piano? We also have a variety of pianos, bamboo flutes, Xiao and so on for rent and sale, if you want to keep a painting as a memory, I will find you two painters in advance. ”
"No need to ......"
Wan Chaoyun's voice fell, and Chen Qian said, "Rent a piano." ”
He said it and smiled at Wan Chaoyun: "It's rare to come once, I'll play a song for you." ”
Wan Chaoyun opened his mouth, speechless in surprise, is this an unexpected joy?
As he spoke, he unconsciously entered the bamboo sea, there are big roads and trails in the bamboo sea, the big road is similar to the pipeline, you can walk the carriage, the paths are cobblestone paths, winding through, not flat, but not steep, walking in it, the impetuous heart will gradually be smoothed out, become calm.
After walking for a while, I found that there was a small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, the yard was not big, but it was very exquisite.
When passing by, I vaguely heard someone in the courtyard writing poems in the wind.
This kind of place is the most attractive to literati and ink writers, and literati and ink writers are basically the sons of rich families, who are not short of money, have someone to serve, and travel around the mountains and rivers when they have nothing to do, and write poems and songs.
"Sir, our Zhuhai Inn, there are a total of thirty small yards, very far apart, and a little later, there is a yard that is still uninhabited, that yard is by the stream, you can fish, I don't know if Mr. has any ideas?"
"What about the others?" Wan Chaoyun asked.
"It's all full." The garden keeper answered, "The rest is the Flower Sea Inn, most of it is empty, but the Flower Sea Inn is generally occupied by noble women from all walks of life, which is suitable for you to live." ”
"I'll live with my husband, you can take us to the Flower Sea Inn to have a look, if the scenery is picturesque, we will go to live." Wan Chaoyun didn't ask Chen Qian, so he decided.
The garden keeper was startled, and glanced at Wan Chaoyun's bun, it was not a woman's head, it was a girl, and it was not like the kind of girl in the green building, like a girl from a white family......
"There are a lot of us, you can find us a bigger yard, my wife likes to be quiet, it's better not to live around other people." Chen Qian saw the surprise of the garden keeper, so he spoke.
The garden keeper immediately understood, and he did not doubt that he had seen a lot of elegant literati like Chen Qian, and he also brought Qinglou women and concubines to live for a long time, but he never called them his wife.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his words, "Yes, I don't know what Madame likes to eat, beef, mutton, or fish, I will ask someone to bring you two ingredients." ”
"Send some, my wife is not a picky eater, and send some fresh fruits, don't be sour, she doesn't eat sour fruits." Chen Qian said again.
"Okay."
As he was talking, there was a stable in front of him, and there was a carriage and a coachman next to the stable, "The road is a little far, why don't you take a carriage for Madame and Mr." Or you can ride a horse, it's not expensive, it's only twenty yuan. ”
"Let's take a carriage." Wan Chaoyun found that his legs were a little sore.
Wan Chaoyun and Chen Qian rode in a carriage, and a few other entourages rode horses, each person was twenty wen, and the number of people was large, it was not as simple as twenty wen, but Wan Chaoyun and Chen Qian were not short of that bit of silver.
Sitting in the carriage, with an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery on the way, and not tired, Chen Qian sighed: "Wuxu Commercial Bank is full of talents." ”
Wan Chaoyun was also shocked, this mode is familiar!
"Do you collect everything here?" Wan Chaoyun couldn't help but ask.
"It's not all, it's just to collect some capital."
It makes sense, otherwise who will plant this mountain full of green bamboo? What's more, the charges are not very expensive either.
Wan Chaoyun regretted letting Wen Jihua go, and the business of the firm here didn't want to withdraw, such a beautiful scenery, what a pity to leave!
Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a magnetic voice came, "I didn't expect to meet Chen Gong here, it's really a blessing for three lives." ”
Gong is an honorific, it has nothing to do with age, people who have many ancestral halls at Chen Qian's age, he is the first one in Daxing, don't say Daxing, the previous three dynasties, no, it is not an exaggeration to call him a sentence Chen Gong.
