Chapter 2 The county order inspects Hexia Town, and the purple qi comes east to find the star root

Last time, I saw some boat people coming down from the canal, and some of them went into the snack bar to eat. Not far away, the Chen Ji "Yangchun Noodles", guests come in and out, and business is very prosperous.

Yangchun noodles are named after Shanyang County and are commonly known as soy sauce noodles. Its method is particularly simple, Yangchun noodles are also known as smooth noodles, clear soup noodles or "clear soup light noodles", the soup is clear and fresh, light and refreshing. Folk habits call the lunar calendar October as a small Yangchun, so it is called Yangchun noodles.

Because of its down-to-earth atmosphere, until today, Yangchun noodles in the ancient city of Huai'an have been favored by guests from the south to the north.

After people up and down the river have eaten and drunk enough, they come to the bustling Yiyi Street to buy some clothes at reasonable prices for their families......

"Have you noticed, the ancient town under the river relies on the Grand Canal and my Daming Caoyun, and there are many business opportunities here. The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is nothing here. The county commander said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"It's still our adults who govern the county well." The master patted the sycophants at the right time.

The county magistrate has no time to take care of the world, what he is anxious to find is the direction where the two green dragons flew away, the ancient town under the river in front of him is really prosperous, even the main urban area of Shanyang County cannot be compared with here.

"Look, sir." The group was wandering around, and suddenly his subordinates reminded. The county order looked up and saw a deep house compound in front of him, and the two gilded characters "Shen Mansion" on the gate were particularly eye-catching.

The county magistrate knew that this was a scholarly family when he saw the door, but he saw people coming in and out, so he said to his subordinates with great interest: "Let's go, go to the Shen Mansion and have a look." ”

As soon as the Shen Mansion family saw the official coming this way, a family member ran in in a panic and said, "Master Shen, the county official is here." ”

Shen Jia is a native of Dahewei, Huai'an Prefecture, Nanzhili (now Meijia Lane, Hexia Zhuxiang Street, Huai'an District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu), his ancestral home is Kunshan, Suzhou Prefecture (now Kunshan, Suzhou, Jiangsu), his ancestors are all military, and his father Shen Wei is in business.

The living room of the Shen Mansion is arranged in all directions, and a landscape painting on the front wall is far-reaching. In front of the long brown stripe is a Nanmu Eight Immortals table, where two chairs are placed, and the back and sides of the chairs are carved first-class.

Master Shen was sitting under the pergola and reading a book, but when he saw his kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he was immersed in the world of books, and he picked up the sheep's hair annotation in the proud place. He heard that the adults were visiting, so he quickly got up and came to the door.

When Master Shen saw that the county order had arrived at the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I don't know if the adults have arrived, I miss the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Take the liberty of disturbing each other, offending and offending." The county order returns the favor.

"Your Excellency, please."

The county order looked to the left ear room and saw that the thick ropes coiled in the room were stored in a neat and orderly manner: "The Shen family is a merchant family, and the business items are related to Cao Yun." ”

"And do a little bit of tea business." Master Shen led the way to the right ear room.

"Well, yes, yes."

A well to the west has been around for a long time, and there is smoke in the stove room, and the county lord has come to the main house along the straight road.

Looking around, this Shen Mansion is a quiet place. In the chic garden, a large lotus leaf swayed in the wind, as if to welcome his arrival. The red carp strolling leisurely in the water, that leisurely is envious of the dead.

I walked to the back again, but I saw that the swords, guns, swords, and halberds in the corner of the martial arts training ground were neatly placed on the weapon rack, which immediately attracted the attention of the county order.

"What's the matter, Master Shen can also do kung fu?"

"Lord Hui is just to strengthen his body and embroider his legs." Master Shen hurriedly explained.

The county magistrate looked at the elegant arrangement, most of the books on the display cabinets on both sides accounted for half of them, and there were a lot of antiques, but a book on the table of the Eight Immortals caught his attention. This is a book "Zengguang Xianwen", which was loved by literati and scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

"The adults laughed, I only flipped through it occasionally." Master Shen embarrassedly put away the book.

"Master Shen, how old is your son?" The county magistrate asked as he walked, and came to the pergola in front of the door. Here is thick shade and the sun is transparent, and the cool breeze is sitting here.

"Please ask the county master to taste tea, the dog is still young, and he is studying in a private school." Master Shen waited, not daring to sit down.

"Okay, all officials are inferior, only reading is high." The prefectural magistrate paced and shook his head and said, walking towards the gate with his front feet.

"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. My Shen family must remember the teachings of the county lord, ignore the things outside the window, and only read the sages and sages. Master Shen bowed and sent him off.

The county commander and his party walked eastward and came to the bustling east-west street. The north and south meet here, and the people who come and go stop here to stay in Lianlian, and both rich and poor people in Shanyang City like to come here for a visit.

Xian Nianmeng raised his head and looked east, but when he saw a cloud of purple qi coming from the east, it suddenly fell not far to the east, and he hurriedly hurried east to control it.

"Sir, slow down!" The master was chasing after him.

The Wu Mansion in Datong Lane is busy at this moment, Mrs. Wu is giving birth today, and Master Wu is anxiously turning around in the front hall. Mrs. was tormented by her pregnancy in October, and the midwife had not seen the child give birth for two or three hours, but Mrs.'s miserable cry made him shudder.

The son is born, and the mother is dead. Master Wu knows that when a woman gives birth to a child, it is the biggest hurdle in her life.

Master Wu listened to his wife's miserable screams, and the sweat on his forehead dripped to the ground. He folded his hands in prayer to the heavens: "God, don't torture my wife, son, come out quickly." ”

"Madam, work hard, your head is out, work hard!" The midwife was already sweating profusely.

The woman on the bed was pale, her hair was extremely messy, she cooperated with the midwife, she exerted her last bit of strength, and the midwife screamed hysterically, followed by "Ah, ah, ah! With a cry, the little master of the Wu family was born......

"Master Wu gave birth and gave birth to a son."

The gloomy cloud on Wu Rui's face suddenly turned into a smile: "Set off firecrackers." ”

The county magistrate, who was wandering on the street, suddenly heard a crackling firecracker sound in his ears.

The sound of firecrackers that shook half of the city in Shanyang interrupted the county order's high-minded talk, and he asked curiously: "Who has a happy event?" Don't inquire yet. ”

One of his subordinates ran in the direction of the sound of firecrackers, and the east side of Yiyi Street was Zhuxiang Street, and between the two streets, the Wu family, a large family in Shanyang County.

"Your Excellency, I've made it clear." His men came running to report it.

"Tell me, who's setting off firecrackers?" The master sees the wind and makes the rudder.

"In the copper alley, Wu Mansion is happy to have a noble son." The subordinates hurriedly informed.

"I see."

The Wu Mansion that his subordinates said was talking about Wu Rui's family in Shanyang, and the county magistrate saw that the purple gas really came to the Wu Mansion, and he secretly thought to himself, is it really Wenqu Xing's descending earth?

"Congratulations to Master Wu, congratulations to Master Wu." The Wu Mansion was lit up with lights, and the family members came to congratulate them.
