After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 13 Qingyang Mansion

"My brother will take you to a city near the sea, where we will live for a while.

There are a lot of delicious food there, Xiao Luo will definitely like it! "Ziyu said, looking at Xiao Luo whose face was a little bloodless.

With careful care along the way, the little guy still hasn't grown any flesh, and Ziyu feels like his whole body is about to fall apart.

Driving alone every day, the feeling of winter is really unbearable.

Fortunately, during the journey of more than two months, officers and soldiers often came and went, so there was no danger. Ziyu felt that she was as rough as an old woman.

"Brother, what is the sea?"

The words of the problem child gave Ziyu a headache again, and the thought that the little kid was suffering all the way just now disappeared immediately.

"The sea, there is endless water.

Its water is salty, and there are countless fish, shrimp and crabs in the seawater.

There are fish as big as a house, and fish as small as a finger. "

Ziyu drove the car slowly, blowing the magic of the sea with the little boy, so that the little mouth never closed.

The saliva flowed down without knowing it, and Ziyu wiped his sleeves because of Ziyu's ridicule, and looked at her with curious eyes.

"Brother, you are so smart!"

"Brother is not smart, how could he lead you from north to south!" Ziyu, who had become childish, raised her eyebrows in an air.

"Yeah, brother is the smartest!" Zi Luo looked at her omniscient brother with admiration.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

A passing carriage lifted a corner, and the little girl who showed her face shamed the brothers and sisters.

"Hmph, my brother is the smartest!" Zi Luo stared unconvinced at the little girl who shamed him.

"Yes, courage is commendable!

However, we can't be as knowledgeable as the little girl, and there is no need to compete with others for verbal victory or defeat. "

Although Zi Luo didn't understand the meaning of the words, she still obediently didn't take another look at the little girl who poked her head out in front.

...

Qingyang Mansion.

In Shenshi, a dusty mule cart was parked in front of the Ruyi Building. The three-storey wooden building was full of atmosphere without losing the unique gentleness of the south.

On the roof of the roof, the semicircular tiles are carved with various patterns, and every wooden window is carved with latticework.

The stigmas in the corridor are carved with flowers, plants, insects and fish, which are exquisite and ancient.

"Guest officer, please come inside! Are you staying in the hotel or on the tip?"

The young man standing at the door did not look down on the two brothers because of their shabby clothes, but stepped forward to greet them respectfully.

"I'm staying in a hotel and I'm on top, I want a quiet room!"

Ziyu handed over the mule cart to Xiao Er, the food in the cart was exhausted, and the rest were some daily necessities.

She turned around and took out two bundles from the mule cart, and threw a handful of copper coins to Xiao Er, who was waiting by the side.

"The two guest officers, please!"

Xiao Er bowed and stretched out his hand to invite the two of them, holding tightly his hands for the reward money, not everyone would give it.

Ziyu lived in Ruyi's upstairs room at the price of one tael of silver a day, which did not include meals.

After Haosheng rested for two days, he rented a small courtyard on Zixiang Street through the dental shop at a monthly rent of eight taels of silver.

...

The quiet courtyard is green bricks and black tiles. There are only five rooms, but it is small and exquisite. There are also many pavilions, rockery and flowing water in the courtyard.

In order to free herself from housework, Ziyu went to a dental shop to buy a landless couple with an eight-year-old boy for 28 taels of silver.

The family of three wore patches for patches, but they were clean and tidy, only the young faces showed obvious distress and confusion.

When I got home, I bought a change of clothes for each family of three in a small cloth store.

"Chen Da, Chen Wang, I bought your family because I don't want to see you separated from your children.

The person you need to take care of is my younger brother Zi Luo.

Chen Xiaoshan is in charge of playing with him, and if he does well, he can learn to read along with him.

Our family eats three meals a day with meat and vegetables, but no waste is allowed!
Go wash and put on new clothes to bid farewell to the past, and behave so that when I leave, I can eliminate your slavery. "

Ziyu, who still retains modern thinking, does not regard the three members of the Chen family as real servants, let alone object to human trafficking.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your pity. Chen Da must do his best to do things for Young Master."

Chen Da, who has recognized the reality, only wants to give his wife and children a place to live.

"Go down and prepare! The meal should be light, there are children."

Ziyu, who lived in the inn for a few days, has a preliminary understanding of the local food. The taste of Qingyang Mansion is similar to that of Jiangnan in her previous life.

I have eaten Ziyu all over the country, and I like the food from all over the place, 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.

Ziyu planned to observe the character of the Chen family at home for a few days, and then went out to learn about local customs after temporarily reassuring.

Of course, when she goes out, she will take Ziluo with her and ask her to hand over to a servant who just bought her a few days ago. Ziyu is not that big-hearted.

...

The affluent Qingyang Mansion is incomparable to most towns in the north. Occasionally, there are shops selling overseas products, and the business is extremely hot.

Gemstones and seawater pearls that are expensive in Yundu are relatively half cheaper in Qingyang Mansion.

Pearls of lower quality are sold on a liter basis, 20 taels of silver per liter. Although they are left over after selection, they can be made into jewelry and sold elsewhere, and the profits are still considerable.

Colorful gemstones are sought after by some rich and noble families in the north, and their clothing is indispensable to be decorated with gemstones.

Ziyu, who has an idea in mind, is not in a hurry to buy jewelry, she believes that it will be cheaper to trade with overseas merchants at the port of Shangdu Prefecture.

...

Ziyu, who had nothing to do, went to Qingyang Mansion, and heard someone talking about cleaning up the river, and her heart moved.

The next day, Chen Da drove straight to Jiangqing River outside the city.

The laborers stood in the bone-piercing river channel, cleaning up the silt in the river, and piles of silt on the bank were dumped everywhere, emitting bursts of rancid smell.

Ziyu narrowed her eyes slightly, these things are the best fertilizer for the Gobi Space.

Two days later, Ziyu, who was about to transform the space, handed over the family affairs to Chen Da.

I went to the bank to exchange for four large frames of copper coins, and took it to Shili Village outside the city to rent a large remote yard and put it on the market to collect silt.

The old village chief who stayed behind in the village was invited to help. After all, she was not familiar with the place where she was born, and the strong laborers in the village went to clean up the river, so the villagers would not easily accept outsiders.

[Ten baskets of mud for a penny! 】

As soon as the sign was hung up, some clever people came to inquire.

"Young master, are you really ten baskets and one penny of mud here?"

A thin woman was wearing a brown headscarf, pulling some short sleeves awkwardly, and the blue coarse cloth was washed white.

"Receive, ten baskets and one knot, as much as you want.

The baskets are the kind of big bamboo baskets, and the small baskets can only be counted as one basket, as the old village head testified. "

"From Qingsheng's family, what the young master said is the truth, go and get it!" the old village head stroked his gray beard and said.

"Xie Chang, village chief and young master, let's go pull it!"

The Qingsheng family got the old village head's words, and happily took two steps back, turned and ran away.
