Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 609

Hearing this, Shen Chenlan laughed and said, "How many houses are there in Suizhou City?"

Shi Wenyuan said: "There are two places in total, one is in the east of the city and the other is in the west of the city. The east side of this place is slightly south. The north and south gates of our city are connected, and almost all of them are on flat ground. After leaving the north gate, we will walk for about four or five days. When you see mountains, you're approaching the border."

Shen Chenlan nodded, guessing that the mountain range should be called Xiaoxing'an Mountains in modern times.

This Suizhou is located in the northeast.

Although it is remote, there is black soil that is not found in other places.

The name of Northeast Granary is not just talk.

But the people here probably don't take it very seriously.

Shen Chenlan withdrew her thoughts and said, "Then let's go to the east of the city first."

This house in the east of the city is close to Shi Wenyuan's residence, and we will arrive soon.

This is a two-entry house. After entering through the main entrance, you walk around the gatehouse and walk to the front hall. Behind the front hall is the backyard atrium.

A garden was built in the atrium, and there was a small pond. The main courtyard in the backyard was far away from the east and west courtyards. Unlike Shen Chenlan's house in Beijing, you could see the opposite side when you opened the door.

Moreover, the previous magistrate probably had good taste, and he repaired the small garden in an extremely leisurely and elegant way, comparable to that of Shi Wenyuan's family.

In addition to the east and west courtyards on both sides, it has also been expanded horizontally, with two small courtyards.

After all, according to the laws of Dashun, the courtyards of Sanjin cannot be repaired casually. If they are not enough to live in, they can only be expanded horizontally.

Behind the main house in the backyard, separated by a corridor, there is also a stable.

From this point of view, the magistrate who lived here before was also a big family member.

Shen Chenlan looked at this place, then estimated the distance from here to the Yamen, and immediately made up her mind and said, "This is it."

Seeing that Shen Chenlan was so forthright, Shi Wenyuan said: "Then don't bother your lord to clean up the residence, and I'll find some people to come over and help your lord to rest."

"Thank you, Mr. Shi." Shen Chenlan said, "When I am free tomorrow, I will go to the Yamen to chat with you about Suizhou."

"Hey, good." Shi Wenyuan agreed and left.

The people Shi Wenyuan was looking for arrived quickly, more than a dozen of them were clanking, and they were put away quickly and neatly.

Jiang Nianxu followed her mother all the way in, curious about everything, but the new house was too big, which made her a little dizzy.

Jiang Ning stopped her who was flopping around, and said, "From now on, Yuanyuan will have her own room, and can no longer sleep in the same room with her father and mother."

When Jiang Nianxu heard this, she cried in fright, and said aggrievedly: "But Yuanyuan is afraid..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Ning said, "Yuanyuan is almost four years old now, so she can't stick to her parents all the time."

Jiang Nianxu panicked even more when she heard that her mother had made up her mind.

Lin Ru persuaded from the side: "We have just arrived here, and it will not be too late to divide the room after we get used to it. The child is still young."

Jiang Ning gave up.

……

When Shen Chenlan entered Suizhou, many local wealthy gentry also received the news.

Although Suizhou is remote and backward, compared with the capital city, it is not half a section behind, but there are many wealthy merchants.

Especially now that all major businesses in Suizhou City are in the hands of the three masters, it is more difficult for others to get involved.

Here Shi Wenyuan just returned to the mansion, someone from outside came to ask for instructions, saying that he wanted to see Master Shi.

Shi Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "Push it, Mr. Shen just came, what are you doing here?"
