Chapter 96 Wucheng
  After the new house was built, the Shen family held a banquet for the whole village, and Wei Yuming came with several subordinates from the county government.

Liu Erhu's brothers and sisters also came, and Li Damei accompanied them the whole time.

Du Yilin also sent people to bring generous gifts. He had already taken the workers to Wucheng to build a house.

With Shen Zhuoyun's consent, he took people to see some of the Shen family's houses. It is said that his orders have been scheduled for the year after next.

Shen Zhuoyun accompanied Wei Yuming to visit the Shen family's house.

The square, bright and comfortable bedroom, the spacious wardrobe, the comfortable and soft sofa, and the strangely shaped chair.

When I saw the running water, the bathtub in the bathroom, and the squat toilet in the hut, I was extremely curious.

A hexagonal pavilion was built in each courtyard, with a stone table and four stone benches in the pavilion. There is a small flower garden surrounding the pavilion, in which peonies, roses, narcissus and some rare orchids are planted.

Next to the foot of the mountain, a large martial arts training ground was built, with a row of single-room style houses and a row of suite-style houses built on both sides.

There are all kinds of weird weapons and props in the martial arts training ground.

Wei Yuming was amazed by all of this.

"Brother Shen, your home is so beautiful. You have to leave a room for me. I will stay at your home when I take a bath." Wei Yuming said shamelessly.

Shen Zhuoyun laughed loudly: "Okay, I will leave a bedroom for you in the guest house. You are welcome to stay at any time."

After all the guests left, Shen Jia found longan, orange, lychee, yellow peel, mango, persimmon, grapefruit, loquat, pear... and other fruit trees.

Together with Shen Hao, we planted fruit trees at fixed locations around the wall and in specific locations in each courtyard.

To outsiders, these fruit trees might seem to be planted because the Shen family likes to eat fruits. But if you put a person on the Gate of Death or the Gate of Extermination, or put a plate of flowers or a big stone, no matter how many experts you have, If you don't understand the secret, you have to walk in circles.

This was her master's specialty. In her previous life, when she first learned martial arts, the master often teased her with this formation. Later, he gave her many formation diagrams and asked her to think about it carefully, saying that it might be of great use in the future.

There were only two masters and apprentices on the island. She was either studying martial arts or medicine. Plus practicing calligraphy, her life was really boring. The formation chart her master gave her was a new thing. She studied it for two years before fully studying it.

After she saw a white light taking him away with her own eyes, she found a letter under the mat in his room. There were only a few words written on it, saying that he was not from the Dragon Kingdom, but a white light brought him here from another time and space. If he suddenly disappears one day, he will return to his original world.

I don’t know which time and space the old man was taken to. It would be great if it was also in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Shen Jia shook his head and put aside his unrealistic thoughts.

After setting up the formation, the entire Shen family took Wei Yuming's carriage to Wucheng.

Shen Jia slightly changed his appearance for everyone in the family, so that no one who was not very familiar with him would recognize him.

Shen Jia was dressed in men's clothing, sitting on the shaft of the carriage with Shen Zhuoyun and Shen Hao, dangling his legs, "Dad, when we get to Wucheng, in addition to buying a carriage, we will also buy some horses!"

"Okay, buy two carriages and two horses, one for you and Hao'er."

Shen Yun and Shen An in the carriage heard this, and Shen An immediately shouted, "Dad, An'er also wants a pony."

Shen Yun did not hesitate to give in, "Dad, you can't leave Yun'er behind!"

"Okay, let's buy ponies for Yun'er and An'er too."

Mrs. Gu looked at them with gentle eyes.

At noon, they arrived at Wucheng. There are nine counties under the jurisdiction of Wucheng. Yi County is the closest to Wucheng, and the other counties are slightly farther away from Wucheng.

Wucheng is worthy of being a capital city. The city wall should be more than seven meters high by visual inspection. Wooden fences are built inside and outside the city embankment, and willows and other trees are planted. Under the city wall, pink willows and green willows surround the city like a belt, which is beautiful and pleasant.

Shen Jia and the others entered the city from the east gate. There were many shops in the city, crowds of people were surging, boats and cars were passing by, department stores were gathered, and merchants were coming and going. It was particularly prosperous.

"Dad, where should we go first?" Shen An saw such a lively and prosperous city for the first time, and his eyes moved around wildly.

Shen Zhuoyun smiled and said, "I'll take you to have a meal first, and then take you to the floating market. By the way, I'll see if there are any of the Fanbang grains that Jia'er mentioned."

When Gu, Shen Hao, and Shen Jia heard this, their eyes lit up, "Okay!"

Shen Zhuoyun also visited it when he came to Wucheng last time to buy medicinal seeds, but unfortunately he came back disappointed.

They ate something nearby and went directly to the floating market that Shen Zhuoyun mentioned.

Wucheng is a city with both a large inland river port and a coastal port in Lingnan and a relatively developed transportation hub, especially water transportation. Wucheng is the only way to transport goods from the north to the south from the Central Plains, to pay tribute to Lingnan jewelry and special products from the north, for envoys to travel, and for military and water transportation.

In recent years, the imperial court has opened up the sea ban. Due to its unique geographical location, Wucheng has close exchanges with other places. Vehicles and ships traveling from south to north gather in Wucheng. There are countless goods and commodities, and trade is developed. Overseas merchants and cargo ships also travel along the river. Come here, gather here, or trade or transit.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the floating market that Shen Zhuoyun had mentioned.

Merchant ships traveling from north to south gathered in the Wucheng River, and raft shops were built out of wood and bamboo to sell goods from various places.

Shen Hao was shocked when he saw this scene. "The raft shops are moored along the river. It's so spectacular. It's really amazing."

"It's bustling during the day, and at night, it's still bustling with people and hawking, forming a lively floating market." Shen Zhuoyun was quite surprised when he saw this scene for the first time.

"Let's go take a look first."

The goods on Fazi's shop are almost the same as those on the street, including porcelain, tea, silk, cloth, and jewelry.

The group of people looked here and there, getting close to various vendors and asking for the information they wanted.

"There's a flower seller out front, should we go take a look?"

"If you want, no one will be spared."

As soon as Shen Jia said these words, the people around him raised eyebrows.

Whose young master is this? Why do you speak so boldly? You know, I understand that you have to visit every house, but you don’t know, do you think you are robbing everyone?
  When Shen Jia saw the expressions of the people around him changing, he realized that what he had just said was a bit quack-like. San San smiled and pulled Shen Hao into the flower shop.

This raft shop is made of wood and filled with all kinds of flowers.

Shen Jia greeted with a smile, "Shopkeeper, business is good!"

The shopkeeper was arranging the flowers in the flower pot. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and saw that the people coming were two handsome young men in unusual clothes. "I can lend you your kind words. Business is pretty good."

"Shopkeeper, there are many kinds of flowers on your ship. Are they all grown by yourself?"

"Haha, only a small part of it was grown by my family, some of it was bought from the Fanbang people, and some of it was obtained from other places."
