Chapter 222

Chen Zhongzhu's small face was full of solemn expressions: "Will that bandit stronghold be difficult to break through?"

Chen Zhongyan didn't take it seriously: "There is a way to break through the dangerous stronghold. General Yan's guards can come in handy."

General Yan wandered around the mountains before assigning tasks to everyone.

Chen Fan went to Liu's house, and sent a roll of mulberry paper to Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu, and a roll of flower paper to Huaishan and Ruhui.

Ruhui took a piece of paper and took a photo in the sun, and said curiously: "This paper is dyed so evenly? There is no watermark at all. Is it like dyeing cloth?"

Chen Fan smiled: "The principle is the same, they are all soaked with the juice of flowers and plants."

Ruhui flipped through one, and then another, and said, "Can I use it for writing in future gatherings?"

Huai Shan shook the paper in her hand: "What if everyone has it?"

"That's okay, the colors will always be different. Even if the colors are the same, it happens that everyone is the same. The one without it seems out of place."

Huaishan took out a bag and handed it to Chen Fan: "This is what I embroidered recently, it's just right for you to use."

Chen Fan happily took it over: "The flowers you embroider are more beautiful, and they seem to be different from the previous stitches."

Huai Shan nodded and said: "Recently, some embroiderers from Xichuan Kingdom have come, and the Liu Family Embroidery Workshop is learning Shu embroidery from them."

"Xichuan Kingdom? How far away?" Chen Fan wondered where the Shu land is, and whether Xichuan Kingdom is in the Chongqing area of ​​Sichuan.

The map that Chu Sheng showed her at the beginning did not have obvious mountain patterns, and the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers alone could not clearly distinguish the regions. After all, the terrain on the map was different from what she remembered, and the coastline was obviously different.

"The country of Xichuan is very far away. I heard that you have to climb many mountains to get out." Huai Shan said.

"Is it convenient to travel between different countries?" Chen Fan asked her.

Huaishan nodded, then shook her head again, and said: "It's not convenient to communicate with Beihu, they are foreigners, and the war is not over. It is relatively free to communicate with other countries, as long as there are relevant documents."

"Is it convenient to do the paperwork?"

"It will definitely take a lot of work. Those who do business often come and go, and they are familiar with the way to handle documents. Ordinary people don't go far often, and occasionally they may not be able to do it if they want to do it."

Ruhui also became interested: "Why did they travel so far to Yuanfeng County? There are so many counties in the southwest."

"Maybe they have a lot of people coming? Some of them have already settled in the border county, and some of them just keep going." Huai Shan guessed.

Chen Fan went on to say: "Whenever we go to a place, some people will stay, and others will continue to leave. Then the question arises, is it better to stay first, or to keep going?"

The two sisters of the Liu family laughed: "Who can tell? Maybe there is a disaster or turmoil in their hometown?"

The three chatted for a while, and then Chen Fan went back to the bookstore.At noon, they came to the house bought by Zhang Ci.

This is Chen Fan's first time here.She looked at this small second-entry house, in the style of a scholar's courtyard.

There is a clump of bamboo in the main courtyard, which is slender and green.Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci: "Do you like bamboo very much?"

Zhang Ci nodded.

"Why didn't you plant some bamboo in Youyi Village?" It is possible to plant hundreds of acres of such a large piece of land.

"It's the place to grow the fields over there, so I don't want to spend too much time on it."

"It seems that there are too few bamboos in Youyidu." Chen Fan frowned, feeling a little regretful.

Zhang Ci rubbed her hair: "It's better to plant bamboo along the mountain. It's enough to have a clump in the house."

Chen Fan looked at him: "When I have a mountain next time, I will plant the whole mountain with bamboo."

"Used to make paper?"

Chen Fan punched him: "I don't understand the style. How about planting a bamboo sea for you?"

"How many mountains are there? It's too far away to see. We haven't been to the mountain in Shengping County yet, but there are a lot of bamboos there." Zhang Ci looked at him.

Chen Fan smiled and did not continue the topic.

"Let me show you the house." Zhang Ci led her to the main house, "My house is on the east side, so you can live in the one on the west side."

"In the same room?" Isn't it necessary to separate men and women?

"Normally, I don't have any other female relatives here, so I live in the main house in the inner courtyard. If we want to live separately, I will live in the front yard, and you will live in the back yard." Zhang Ci explained.

"Then after getting married, do you live in the front yard and the back yard?" Chen Fan realized as soon as he finished speaking, and quickly turned around, turned his head, and looked away.

Zhang Ci turned her around, holding her face in both hands: "We naturally sleep together."

His face was a little hot, Chen Fan was embarrassed to look into his eyes, and felt uneasy to look anywhere, so he moved his eyes in a panic.

Zhang Ci squeezed her face: "Come in."

The layout in the room was obviously more elegant than Chen Fan's own room.The bedposts and bed rails are all carved, the lines of the tables and chairs are very beautiful, and the sheets and quilts are more delicate.

Chen Fan stared blankly for a long time before saying, "When was this room furnished?"

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it took some time to hire someone to make furniture, and I never bothered to invite you to come and have a look and live."

"It seems to be busy all the time. I have lived in Shengping County for a long time, and I didn't come here last time I went to the city."

"Chen Yue and Chen Zhongyan can now take charge of the family, and they should be able to live well in Guiyunju."

"Huh?" What do you mean?
"We can come and live here often, just the two of us." Zhang Ci looked at her deeply.

His face became hotter, and Chen Fan felt that his breathing was messed up.

Zhang Ci chuckled: "Look at your prospects, how panicked you will be when the time comes."

"When?" Chen Fan asked stupidly.Zhang Ci didn't answer, just looked at her.

She came to her senses, her face was hot, and she simply buried her head in his arms like an ostrich.
