Doom Roar

Xu Mo's cooking skills are average, and he can't cook any delicious delicacies in this small village that lacks seasonings, and there is barely enough salt to eat.

Although Zhao Fuyou and Yan Wan, the two young ladies, have different identities, they were both fed by the imperial court. Naturally, there were rave reviews for this "vulgar" meal, but these two were indeed hungry after all. I can only reluctantly eat it, but that tangled expression is no better than taking "medicine".

After eating and drinking, it is natural to continue on the road, but this small village is so poor that it does not even have large livestock that can pull a cart, so Xu Mo had to settle for the next best thing, and found a hand wheelbarrow, also known as a rooster cart. The two delicate and expensive young ladies set out on the road again.

Although the Jin and Song Dynasties have been fighting for years, the non-governmental trade has never been cut off. Jin is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Both high-ranking officials and common people are very fond of the goods of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the trade between the two countries has not been affected by the flames of war. influence, but more and more flourishing.

As one of the transit cities on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, Chuzhou has long gathered merchants from the Jin and Song Dynasties traveling from south to north. The goods also change ships here and head south to the Song Dynasty. The huge water transport terminal hardly stops from morning to night, and there are even tens of thousands of ships passing by every day. [

With such a huge traffic volume, it is not difficult for Xu Mo to find a boat that can take him back to Song Dynasty.

Coincidentally, when Xu Mo first arrived at the Chuzhou Wharf, he met a well-known water transport ship owner. Although the other party didn't know why Xu Mo appeared in Chuzhou in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, after all, he was an acquaintance who knew the basics and a fellow villager, so he was quite straightforward He agreed to Xu Mo's request to take a boat, even without confiscating the boat money.

In this way, talking all the way, after a few days, Xu Mo and his party finally returned to Qiantang County, Suzhou Prefecture.

After going back and forth for nearly half a month, the wives and concubines at home were already very anxious. Seeing Xu Mo's safe return, they were overjoyed and rushed to clean up for him.

If it wasn't for Xu Mo's repeated reminders to keep a low profile, Li Gongfu, Gu Pan and the others would have planned to set off firecrackers at the door to get rid of bad luck.

The happiest person is Zhao Shenyou. She already felt guilty about her sister Zhao Foyou marrying on her behalf. The two cried on the spot.

As for Gu Pan, Xu Mo did not reveal that she was from the Kingdom of Jin, but only said that she was the maid who was arranged by Zhao Foyou's side this time.

As early as on the way, Xu Mo gave Zhao Fuyou this statement to vent his anger, so there was no need to worry that the other party would slip up.

At the dinner table, I told the daughters in the family about the whole process of rescuing Zhao Foyou in the Kingdom of Jin. After dinner, Gu Pan quietly pulled Xu Mo aside, and told him about a troublesome thing—the room at home. Not enough.

Although Xu Mo doesn't care about money, he never lives extravagantly. Even though his family is already rich, he still lives in the three green brick houses that were repaired when he married Li Gongfu.

At first, he and Li Gongfu lived in the main house together, but later they took in Gu Pan and Zhao Shenyou one after another, and finally the east and west rooms were filled.

Later, Cen Biqing and Bai Suzhen moved into Xu's house as a maid, and the west wing room was vacated for Qingbai's second daughter, while Zhao Shenyou, who originally lived in the west wing room, moved into the east wing room to be with Gu Pan as a companion.

So far, the three houses of the Xu family are all full, but the arrival of Zhao Foyou and Yan Wan has broken the living balance of the Xu family.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a living, bedding can be bought now, but a house can’t just pop up out of thin air, Gu Pan can’t make arrangements for the eight people in the family, so Nai had to come to discuss with Xu Mo, hoping that as a family Xu Mo, the master, can give me an idea.

Regarding the question that Gu Pan mentioned, Xu Mo, who was not prepared, was at a loss, thinking for a long time and said: "Well... God bless the two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, they must have a lot to say, the two of them will live in the east wing tonight , Gong Fu and I sleep in the main room, you and that Yan Wan sleep in the west wing, as for Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, let them sleep in the firewood room first..."

Xu Mo originally thought that Gu Pan would also live in the main room, and Yan Wan would share the West Wing with the second daughter, Qingbai, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. Anyway, this Yan Wan had been married to him before. On the first night at home, she was thrown to live with the maid, no matter how I thought about it, I felt a little suspicious of pulling up my pants and denying her.

What's more, the two daughters Cen Biqing and Bai Suzhen are both different. Although they behave like ordinary people on weekdays, God knows what they will look like when they sleep. If they sleep until midnight and get two big snakes coiled on the bed, Yan Wan will not be mistaken. Swallow, probably scared to death.

Gu Pan couldn't help hesitating, and said: "This...isn't it good? Although Xiaoqing and Xiaobai are maids at home, we usually get along with each other as sisters. How can we let them live in the firewood house?"

"It's okay, I guess they won't mind." [

Xu Mo didn't take it seriously, anyway, the two snakes lived in caves before going down the mountain, and the conditions may not be as good as the firewood house at home. Occasionally changing the environment, it's like remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness.

Of course, having said that, Xu Mo wouldn't let the green and white snakes live in the firewood house all the time. It's not easy to get the two girls who look seductive and easy to use. If they lose their loyalty because of such a trivial matter, the loss outweighs the gain.

So from the next day, the expansion of the house was officially put on the Xu family's agenda.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty with great wealth. As long as there was money, nothing would be a problem... But at this moment, Xu Mo is not short of money. Actually, the banknotes he found from Xu Fengliu alone are enough for him to squander.

The first advance payment of [-] guan was handed over to Uncle Niu for safekeeping, and he was fully responsible for the expansion of the entire Xu family. Afterwards, Xu Mo, who had nothing to do, took his seventh daughter to the street to look at the house.

That's right, just look at the house... After all, the expansion of the house can't be completed in a short period of time. It's not easy for a family of eight to live in a hotel every day. During this transitional period, they still have to find a suitable place to stay.

In the Song Dynasty, there were corresponding Yamen for chores such as renting a house. According to today's terms, it is also an intermediary. There is no need to search for small advertisements everywhere. You only need to inform the general requirements, and Yaren will be quite responsible. You found a listing that matches your requirements.

"Mr. Xu, you have caught up. If it was in the first few years, let alone a house with more than four rooms in a single family, it is difficult to find a single house facing the street... In recent years, there have been many houses for sale. , our dental business has actually improved a lot, but... alas! Forget it, let’s not mention it.”

Xu Mo naturally understood the lament of this Yaman. Although Qiantang is located in the prosperous Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is only across the river from the northern border of the Kingdom of Jin. Confident people have a sense of security, so it is not uncommon to relocate their families. Even those businessmen who still have business in the local area often transfer their gold, silver, etc. to other safe places, leaving only a small number of people to maintain their operations, and they have already done so at any time. Be prepared to flee.

"Even if the marriage fails this time, Jin Guo will not attack Da Song within ten years. This little brother can do your business with confidence."

Yan Wan's sudden opening made everyone stunned. The two sisters Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou were thoughtful, and Li Gongfu didn't bother to think about it, and asked bluntly: "How can you be sure that the Kingdom of Jin will not continue to invade the Song Dynasty? The country has coveted the prosperity of the Song Dynasty for a long time, and half of the country in the north has been captured, so will they easily give up the more prosperous Jiangnan?"

"It's because of the northern part of the Song Dynasty..." Yan Wan smiled lightly, as if explaining an undeniable fact, "A national war is different from a civil war. It doesn't mean that if you fight it, it's yours. It will take quite a long time for the people in the region to agree with the new country and the new court. If you... I, the Song Dynasty, it’s okay to say that a large number of people have moved over, and the people of other countries have to weigh the gap in the number of people even if they are unwilling to rule. However, the country is sparsely populated. Forcing the relocation of the people will only dilute the national strength. It is not possible to digest the large tracts of land in the north. Emperor, even the current Golden Emperor would not make such a "suicide" decision..."

The tooth man nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and praised with a thumbs up: "This Mrs. Xu is really Zhuge, a female middle school. Presumably, some of the adults in the court may see it as clearly as Mrs. Xu. I have been educated, and I will definitely learn from you in the future." Tell Mrs. Xu's words to those who want to sell the house."

Yan Wan yelled "Mrs. Xu" one after another, making Yan Wan blush. Seeing that she was about to explain, Xu Mo didn't want to waste time on such meaningless things, so he interrupted directly: "Yan Ren, take us to see Which house is it?"

"If you go back to the high official, it was originally Zhang's mansion in the south of the city." The Yaman pulled the reins, slowed down the donkey's speed, and walked side by side with the Xu family's carriage, and replied politely: "Zhang Yuanwai's family was more than one year old. I moved away a month ago, but it wasn't to avoid the military disaster. I heard that the young master of the Zhang family was attacked by evil spirits...You know that the Zhang family is the richest man in Qiantang, and the Zhang family's mansion is so magnificent , although it may not be comparable to the palace, but it is not too far away from the palace. If it hadn't been for this kind of evil, and caught up with the national calamity and military disaster, it would not have been sold at such a low price as [-] yuan. Selling bricks is probably more than this number..."

Xu Mo naturally knew about the Zhang Mansion in the south of the city, and the owner, Zhang Yuanwai, was the father of the young Mrs. Zhang Yutang. The so-called encounter with an evil spirit probably refers to the fact that Zhang Yutang was taken away by the centipede spirit.

Zhang Yuanwai's family has never had any contact with Xu Mo, and Xu Mo has never been invited into the gate of the Zhang family, but he has the habit of going out at night a long time ago, and he has visited all the streets and alleys in Qiantang County He is already familiar with such a big target in Zhang's house as if he is in his own backyard.
