Chapter 12 Qingyang Mansion
"My brother takes you to a city close to the sea, where we will live for a while.
There are still a lot of good things to eat there, and Xiao Luo will definitely love it! Ziyu looked at Xiao Luodao, whose face was a little bloodless.
After careful care along the way, the little guy still didn't grow any flesh, and Ziyu also felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.
Driving alone every day, the taste of winter is really unbearable.
Fortunately, after more than two months of travel, there were often officers and soldiers who were haunted and did not encounter any danger, and Ziyu felt that she was as rough as an old woman.
"Brother, what is the sea?"
The words of the problem child made Ziyu have a headache again, and the thoughts of the little fart child suffering all the way that were still a little heartache immediately disappeared.
"The sea, there is water that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see.
Its water is salty, and there are countless fish, shrimp and crabs in the seawater.
There are fish the size of a house, and there are fish as small as a finger. ”
Ziyu drove the car slowly, blowing the magic of the sea with the little fart, and the little mouth never closed when she heard it.
I didn't know it when my saliva flowed down, but I was still ridiculed by Ziyu before I wiped my sleeves, and looked at her with curious eyes.
"Brother, you are so smart!"
"Brother is not smart, how can he take you from north to south!" Ziyu, who became childish, raised her eyebrows angrily.
"Mmmm, my brother is the smartest!" Zi Luo looked at his all-knowing brother with a face full of adoration.
"Poof~呲!"
A passing carriage lifted a corner, and the little girl who showed her face was ashamed of the brother and sister.
"Hmph, my brother is the smartest!" Zi Luo glared at the little girl ring who was ashamed of him unconvinced.
"Yes, courage!
However, we can't be as knowledgeable as the little girl, and there is no need to compete with others for winning or losing. ”
Although Ziluo didn't understand the meaning of the words, she still didn't look at it again, and the little girl ring who poked her head out in front of her.
…
Qingyang Province.
At the time of Shen, a dusty mule cart stopped in front of the Ruyi Building, and the three-storey wooden building exuded the atmosphere but did not lose the gentleness unique to the south.
The roof of the roof is carved with semicircular tiles with various patterns, and each wooden window is a carved lattice.
The capitals on the corridor are carved with flowers, grasses, insects and fish, which are exquisite and ancient.
"Guest officer, please inside! Are you staying in a hotel or tapping? ”
The young man standing at the door did not look down on the brothers because they were poorly dressed, but respectfully stepped forward to greet them.
"I want a quiet upper room!"
Ziyu handed over the mule cart to Xiao Er, and the food in the carriage was exhausted, and the rest were some daily necessities.
She turned around and took out two burdens from the mule cart and threw them to the little eryi who was waiting by the side with a copper coin.
"Two guest officers, please!"
Xiao Er bowed down and stretched out his hand to invite the two, clenching the reward in his hand, which not everyone would give.
Ziyu stayed in the upstairs room of Ruyi for the price of one tael of silver a day, and this tael of silver did not include food.
After resting for two days, he rented a small courtyard on Zixiang Street through the dental store, with a rent of eight taels of silver per month.
…
The courtyard in the middle of the noisy is blue bricks and tiles, only five rooms are small and exquisite, and there are many pavilions and rockeries in the courtyard.
In order to free herself from housework, Ziyu asked a tooth shop to buy a landless couple with an eight-year-old boy for 28 taels of silver.
The family of three was dressed in patches and patches, but they were clean and tidy, except for the young face with obvious sadness and confusion.
When I got home, I bought a change of clothes for each of my family of three at a small cloth shop.
"Chen Da and Chen Wang, I bought your family because I didn't want to see you separated from your children.
The person you have to focus on is my brother Ziluo.
Chen Xiaoshan is responsible for playing with him, and if he does well, he can read and write together.
Our family has three meals a day with meat and vegetables, but no waste!
Go wash and change into new clothes and say goodbye to the past, and behave well, and when I leave, I can remove your slavery. ”
Ziyu, who still retains modern thoughts, does not regard the three members of the Chen family as real subordinates, let alone oppose human trafficking.
"Gongzi Xie has mercy, Chen Da must do his best to do things for Gongzi."
Chen Da, who has recognized the reality, just wants to give his wife and children a place to live.
"Go down and prepare! Meals are light and there are small children. ”
Ziyu, who has lived in the inn for a few days, has a preliminary understanding of the local food, and the taste of Qingyang Mansion is similar to the Jiangnan taste in the previous life.
I have eaten purple jade all over the country, and I like the food from all over the world very much, but I don't know how Chen Wang's cooking skills are.
If it doesn't work, I can only buy a cook and come back.
After calculating Ziyu, she observed the character of Chen Da's family at home for a few days, and only went out to understand the local customs after being relieved for the time being.
Of course, when she went out, she would take Ziluo with her, and let her hand over the person to a servant who had just bought it for a few days, and Ziyu was not so big-hearted.
…
The affluent Qingyang Mansion is incomparable to most towns in the north, and occasionally encounters shops selling overseas products, and business is extremely hot.
The precious stones and saltwater pearls that are expensive in Yundu are relatively half cheaper in Qingyang Mansion.
Pearls of poor quality are sold on the liter, a liter of 20 taels of silver, although it is left after selection, but it is made into jewelry and sold elsewhere, the profit is still very considerable.
Colorful gems are sought after by some wealthy families in the north, and their clothes are indispensable to decorate with gemstones.
Ziyu, who had an idea in mind, was not in a hurry to buy the jewelry, believing that it would be cheaper to trade with overseas merchants at the port of Shangdufu.
…
Ziyu, who had nothing to do, walked around Qingyang Mansion, and when she heard someone talking about cleaning up the river, her heart moved.
The next day, Chen Da drove straight to Jiangqing River outside the city.
Laborers stood in the biting river, cleaning up the mud from the river, and piles of mud poured everywhere on the bank, emitting a rancid smell.
Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly, these things are the best fertilizer for the Gobi space.
Two days later, Ziyu, who was preparing to renovate the space, handed over the affairs of the family to Chen Da.
I went to Qianzhuang to change four large frames of copper coins, and pulled them to Shili Village outside the city to rent a large remote courtyard and put up a list to collect silt.
Invite the old village chief who stayed in the village to help, after all, she is not familiar with the place, and the strong laborers in the village go to clean up the river, and the people in the village will not easily accept outsiders.
[Ten baskets of silt for a penny!] 】
As soon as the sign was put out, people with organic spirits came to investigate.
"Childe, do you really have ten baskets of penny silt here?"
A thin woman wrapped in a brown turban, tugging at her short sleeves, her blue coarse cloth clothes washed white.
"Collect, ten baskets and one knot, pull as much as you want.
The basket is the kind of big bamboo basket, and the small basket can only be counted as one basket for two baskets, and the old village chief testifies. ”
"Birthday celebration, the little boy is telling the truth, you go and pull it here!" The old village chief stroked his white beard and said loudly.
"Chief Xie and the little boy, let's go pull it!"
The Qingsheng family got the permission of the old village chief, happily took two steps back and turned around and ran away.
