Without waiting for the other little guys to answer, an old porter gave them a slap of chestnuts one by one, and scolded, "The eldest young master just came back, just when he was about to rectify the rules of the house, you are still chewing your tongue in the limelight, do you dislike taking too much of this salary?" Don't go to work yet! ”

The little guys scattered in a hurry, and they were busy, and the old porter shook his head, looked at the door of the house, and said in a low voice, "This thing is not easy to do..."

The little porters of the Zhao family don't chew their tongues, but it doesn't mean that they can hide the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the city, at such a lively moment, everyone is staring at the Zhao family like a hook in their eyes, and the Wu family's young lady rushed in and cried out, which is simply to give the Zhao family a safe return to this big dish, adding the most vigorous seasoning, and the taste is simply a hundred times better than the original.

This time, everyone bowed their heads and gathered together, muttering, and at the end they had to cover their mouths and smile ambiguously and mysteriously, which became more and more curious.

Besides, Ruixue and his party, all the way along the official road to the south, there are Mu San and Desheng, the two know-it-alls, there is no more than half a mile of wronged road, and the temperature in the south is obviously much warmer than Lingfeng City, and the breeze is slightly warmer, but it is a little like the spring breeze in February, drunk and intoxicating.

Niuniu's temperament is lively, she can't bear to sit in the carriage every day, and on this day she wants to ride a horse, and the sword dance takes her in front of her, pointing to the side of the road from time to time to talk and laugh, but it is also lively.

Rui Xue also felt stuffy in the car, so she put the two children in the cradle, then picked up the curtains and looked out, and said with a smile, "Third Brother Mu, if there is a teahouse or restaurant, let's take a break." ”

Mu San smiled and responded, "There is a town outside Bairu City in front, it is quite prosperous, let's find a good restaurant to have lunch, and we can enter the city in the evening." ”

Victorious in the carriage behind him heard this and said, "I really know that there are two specialties in a restaurant in this town, so let's go and sit there." ”

"Okay, let's follow Desheng." Rui Xue made a decision, put down the curtain, and turned around to see the old grandmother doing needlework again, so she stretched out her hand to stop it, and said, "Mama, you are tired from walking, you are still doing needlework, your eyes should hurt, so let's rest." ”

The old lady arranged the embroidery thread of the clothes in her hand, rubbed her eyes, and said, "The weather is hot in the south, and the young lady has not taken a few thin clothes, so she will sew two new ones while she has free time." ”

"Mama, there is no shortage of money to buy clothes at home, and if you come across a good embroidery village, you can just go in and buy two pieces, why bother?" She reached out and touched the hidden pocket in her little clothes, and laughed in a low voice, "Besides, when the victory came, I brought 10,000 taels, which is enough for our family for ten years." ”

The old lady thought of those properties in the Houfu, and sighed a little distressedly, "My good young lady, these silver taels are just to win over their brothers, and the profits of this season are much worse than the entire Houfu industry, and I don't know how the general will punish the evil woman, can you return all the silver properties in our Houfu?" ”

Rui Xue was not greedy, she came to the cradle, gently touched her son's sleeping little face, and said with a smile, "As long as that wicked woman is punished as she deserves, she will no longer threaten our family in the future. Besides, the child's father can do business, and I also have skills, so I may not be able to earn a lot of money, but it is still easy to be rich and secure. ”

The old mother saw that their mother and son were so close and warm, and she was relieved, and nodded, "It's my old woman who is greedy." ”

While the two were talking, they heard Niu Niu shouting outside, "Oh, there's the town gate ahead." ”

Jian Wu smiled, "That's not the gate, it's the archway of the official family." ”

"What is the torii?"

"It's not a thing, it's a reward..."Jian Wu was dizzy when asked by Niu Niu, and he couldn't explain it for a while, and the heart of the piano on the side of the laughter was staggering.

Desheng kindly relieved the siege for the sword dance, and while shaking the whip, he said, "This hundred towns are famous in the martial country, don't look at this town, there are less than a thousand households, but it is a place where talents are gathered, only books and biographies, and there are six sages who have written into the history of the country, and there are three of the bachelors in the Hanlin Pavilion today, whose ancestral home is here." Emperor Rende praised this place as the hometown of poetry and books, and ordered to appreciate this sage archway. Every boy born in this place, the people in this place have to go to the archway to worship the sages, and then take a pinch of soil and put it in the purse, hang it at the head of the child's bed, and ask the sages to bless the child with great intelligence, and he can also enter the scientific examination in the future. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard it, and saw the towering archway, and there were three points of respect in their eyes, Rui Xue was curious and lifted the curtain to look at it twice, but felt that the archway was similar to the archway at the entrance of those southern villages and towns in later generations, but the lines and words carved on the bluestone were more complex, and the meaning of antiquity was also stronger.

The group entered the town and walked slowly along the most spacious bluestone road, where the vendors who set up stalls selling knick-knacks, the peasants who carried vegetables and vegetables, the scholars who took the scholars in and out of the shops with fans, and even the women who came out with hats and hats.

Desheng drove the carriage and walked in front to lead the way, until he reached a tall building at the front of the town before stopping, and the door kept looking at the two little two outside, and when he saw the guests coming to the door, he immediately ran out to greet them.

Jian Wu and Qin Xin had already jumped off the horse, opened the door, and first picked up the two children in their arms, Rui Xue put on a hat and helped the old lady get out of the car, Desheng touched a handful of copper coins and handed them to the two young men, asking them to settle the carriage and horses, and then led everyone into the door.

The short, fat middle-aged shopkeeper smiled kindly, stepped forward to take a look at Desheng, and immediately overjoyed, and saluted, "Oh, isn't this Second Brother Chen, but I haven't come to my brother for a while, and this is to go to the south to buy goods again?" ”

Desheng glanced at the crowded diners in the lobby, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Liu, don't come unharmed, I am waiting for my master to go south to visit relatives this time, and I will stop here for a while, and Shopkeeper Liu will quickly find a quiet place." ”

"Hey, hey, Second Brother Chen, don't worry, there is a big box upstairs, and the scenery is good and quiet. Please come with me. ”

Shopkeeper Liu saw that Ruixue was wearing a hat and a maid holding a child behind him, so he didn't say much, so he directly invited them upstairs.

Mu San nodded at Ruixue, and found a corner in the lobby to sit down with someone at the table, Liu thought he was the attendant of the car, and didn't care, pointed to a little two to say hello, and took everyone to step on the stairs, squeaked, went up to the second floor, and didn't open the box with the word "Qingfeng" on the lintel until the end, and invited everyone in.

The box is very spacious, in the middle of which there is a large round table of Nanmu and eight high-backed chairs, all painted dark brown, carved with moire, smooth and shiny, and on the surrounding walls, there are calligraphy and paintings, or landscapes, or flowers and birds, the brushwork is casual and comfortable, even if it is a person like Ruixue who does not know calligraphy and painting, after a few glances, I feel as if I am immersive, and my mind is open, and she can't help but praise "good painting"!

The restaurant run by the shopkeeper of Liu is handed down by the ancestors of the Liu family, relying on two secret dishes, has been firmly sitting on the top spot of the restaurant in this hundred towns, two years ago, a rival bought his kitchen helper, in the dishes under the laxative, it happened that Desheng and his party happened to be in the trick, if the ordinary people will make trouble to the government, smashed the restaurant brand, but Desheng happened to enter a batch of gems, valuable and expensive, adhering to the principle that more is better than less, there was no investigation, cured diarrhea, and left, Even the apology of the shopkeeper Liu was confiscated.

So far, the shopkeeper Liu has kept this kindness in his heart, as long as Desheng is here, he must be warmly entertained, and the friendship between the two has become deeper and deeper, and he also knows the identity of Desheng, so for the master he called in his mouth, he naturally guessed that it was the orphaned daughter of Annan Houfu.

At this time, he heard Rui Xue's praise, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said with a smile, "If you go back to the nobles, these calligraphy and paintings are all from the hands of the three unique sons of this town. ”

Rui Xue saw that she was surrounded by her own family, so she took off her hat, straightened her temples briefly, and said with a smile, "The shopkeeper's courtesy, we are just people who walk, and we have to worry about the shopkeeper to take care of it." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, if you have something to do, the noble man will tell you." The nobles in Shopkeeper Liu's impression are all arrogant, and he was a little flattered when he thought that Rui Xue would be polite and polite.

Desheng stepped forward and pulled the shopkeeper Liu and said, "Madam, I'm familiar with the dishes here with Brother Liu, so it's better to let the little one take care of it." ”

Rui Xue nodded, "Remember to borrow an extra medicine stove and fry a bowl of wind and cold medicine for Mama." ”

A flash of gratitude flashed in Desheng's eyes, and he complied, and then walked out with Shopkeeper Liu.

Niuniu pushed open the window, lying on her stomach and looking at the street market below, turning her head from time to time to peek at her sister, Rui Xue didn't know what she was thinking, so she took Yiran in Qin Xin's arms, and then said with a smile, "Qin Xin will accompany the second lady to go down for a walk, remember not to make trouble, come up to eat earlier." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Qin Xin is more lively than the sword dance, and in the Zhao family these days, the master is all kind, and he acts more casually. At this time, after listening to the master's command, he was frightened, and pulled the same happy Niu Niu and went downstairs.

Jian Wu frowned and glared at her, wanting to say a few words, but was stopped by Ruixue, "It's hard to come out for a walk, don't detain them." After speaking, he looked at Caiyun Caiyue and Xiao Cui'er, "If you are not tired, let's go play with you for a while." ”

Caiyue and Xiao Cui'er's eyes lit up immediately, but they were glared at by Caiyun fiercely, and said in a low voice, "I still have to boil medicine." ”

The two stuck out their tongues, hurriedly went to rummage through the medicine bag, saluted, and went downstairs with Caiyun together.

The old lady poured tea for Rui Xue and said with a smile, "Caiyun, this girl is good, she is careful." ”

Rui Xue turned her back to the door, untied her clothes to feed Yiran, and said with a smile, "When I heard that I was pregnant, my husband specially went into the city to buy their sisters back, they are all poor children, so they are more sensible." ”

They were talking, but suddenly there was a knock on the door, Rui Xue hurriedly tied her clothes, and the old lady opened the door and saw that it was her son, so she complained, "The master is hungry, why did he come back again if he didn't arrange a meal as soon as possible?" ”
