The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 471 Ge Shifeng failed to eat
Lushun.

Lushun's wharf is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the dilapidated military wharf of the past.

There were no people here at first, but later the general regained Jinzhou, and refugees from all over the place poured in, filling Jinzhou.

Even the most remote Lushun accommodated tens of thousands of people, not to mention Qingniwa, Muchangyi and other places.

Less than ten years.

Sufficient manpower has brought about earth-shaking changes in Jinzhou, from an area with a medium-sized population in Liaodong to the largest city.

Although the general has regained the entire Liao Dynasty and left a lot of people, there are still more people left.

On the straight road on the shore of the pier, there are beaches on one side and shops on the other.

The climate in Jinzhou is already excellent, the scenery is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and there are endless, tall and beautiful mountains in the distance.

The housekeeper Zhou Ji personally brought people to welcome the eldest son and the others.

Because I don't know the exact time when the ship will arrive, I came early and waited.Accompanying her was the princess of North Korea, and the madam specially sent a few nuns.

Some people were left waiting at the pier, and the rest followed Zhou Ji to a teahouse not far away to rest.

The doors and windows in the small teahouse were all open, and the original coal stove was turned off. Although it was stained black, it was cleaned very well.

There are businessmen in long gowns who come to Lushun to do business. They order a few good dishes and a jug of good wine on the second floor with a better environment, and their faces are full of satisfaction.

The first floor is full of people living on the pier, and there are more peanuts on the table, and some only order wine and don't want food.

After taking a sip, he smacked his lips and made a sound of satisfaction. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it. After a long time, he continued to take a small sip.

All kinds of voices gathered into a noisy noise and disappeared on the roof.

Zhou Ji passed by the first floor freely, and the shopkeeper who saw him came out from the counter to greet him personally, and sent them to the second floor.Some of the merchants on the second floor recognized their background and hurriedly got up to say hello.

"Master Ji."

"Master Ji, sit together."

……

With a smile on his face, Zhou Ji went straight from the enthusiastic businessmen to the table by the window specially reserved for him.

Several people just sat down.

"Old rules."

A follower shouted loudly, full of arrogance.

"Good."

The shopkeeper gave a long hello, and then went to arrange it in person.

The businessman who thought he had face took the initiative to talk to Zhou Ji, and one of them, Zhou Ji, recognized him.

This person is doing timber business in Jinzhou through Leng Zixing's relationship.

Leng Zixing's relationship is not enough for Zhou Ji's vision, but Leng Zixing is also the uncle of the general.

So Zhou Ji nodded slightly to the man, and the businessman became more excited, bent down more and flattered Zhou Ji.

Seeing that this person was able to establish a relationship with Zhou Ji, the other businessmen all looked enviously.

"Ah, what a coincidence, isn't it?"

Sudden.

A businessman came up and made a loud noise, which startled Zhou Ji. He frowned and looked over, and immediately showed enthusiasm again.

"It was you."

"I haven't seen you for a while, where are you making money?"

Zhou Ji stood up unexpectedly.

The businessman trotted a few steps, but also did not dare to neglect, and bowed his body.The entourage next to him, without waiting for Zhou Ji's order, looked very winking and moved aside on his own initiative.

"I'm just running errands for the second master. I'm born to work hard, but I'm extremely happy to be able to do things for the second master."

"Sit down, sit down, let's have a good chat."

"Respect is worse than obedience."

"Hahaha."

The businessmen around didn't leave, all of them were smiling, those who knew the people came to say hello, and those who didn't know took the opportunity to get to know each other.

It turned out that it was not someone else, but the shopkeeper in the hands of Ping Liaohou's second brother.

After learning about it, the merchants were even more reluctant to leave.

Jeju Island Maritime Trade, that is the first-class business in the world, how much capital goes down, a business that can pay back its capital in one transaction, is there any better business in the world?

Even if you just rub the edge outside the door, you can easily earn a profit of hundreds or thousands of taels, and it is not difficult to make thousands of taels of profit.

If the relationship is deeper, it will be even more serious.

"Why do you have the time to come here?"

Hearing the question, Zhou Ji didn't answer, but showed an indescribably profound smile, the more so, the more mysterious he looked.

"Hahaha, little brother shouldn't ask too much, he should be punished."

……

"Beep, beep."

A boy was out of breath from running.

Zhou Ji didn't wait for the boy to speak, and quickly got up and asked, "But it's here."

The boy nodded, and said out of breath, "I saw the boat, let me hurry to inform Lord Ji."

"I offended you, let's go."

Zhou Ji didn't forget to be rude even in his panic, he left some people to pay the bill, and led the rest, and left in a hurry through the passage that the merchants had already given way to.

……

"What can make Master Ji so anxious?"

Someone wondered.

"Humph."

The shopkeeper who was sitting snorted a few times. Hearing his warning, the rest of the merchants were all shrewd people, and immediately stopped talking.

Soon a new topic was chatted, the shopkeeper was not as big as Zhou Ji's airs, and he was not qualified to put on such a big spectrum.

They are all doing business, but they seem more harmonious.

a long time.

"So it is."

A businessman pointed out the window and downstairs, several carriages from Jinzhou, with the flag of Jiedu Mansion on them.

You can see the open windows of the carriage, and the heads of two children are looking at the street scene curiously.

They look at others, and others look at them.

"That is?"

"You don't even know him, tsk tsk."

Someone nearby sighed, but didn't explain it. With this approach, people who didn't know were curious, but didn't follow up to ask, and planned to inquire in private.

Based on Zhou Ji's expression, the shopkeeper had already guessed roughly, and now that he has met Allah, he is thinking of going back to Jinzhou to pay his respects.

~~~~~~
Tang Yanqian and the North Korean princess touched their heads together, looking at the scenery beside the road excitedly.

The princess of Joseon has been in the palace since she was born, and has never left the palace. Her small eyes are unblinking, full of joy, forgetting her sorrow.

The wind and waves on the beach on one side and the shops of various colors on the other side made the North Korean princess unable to see both sides.

I was afraid that I would miss one point, so I watched with even more concentration.

Lookout poles of various colors were erected, and flags of cyan, blue, red, black on a white background, etc. were hung.

There are also signboards and plaques in various fonts, and even the door panels on the corner outside the shop, the Korean princess looked at it with gusto.

"Five Kui, "Eight Horses"

……

In a restaurant, there was a lively sound, which attracted two children to look over.I vaguely saw several rows of tables inside, and several guests stepped on the benches, waving their hands and punching loudly.

Before I could see clearly, the four-wheeled carriage passed by by mistake.

Cloth store, tailor shop, grocery store, medicine store, sauce, stewed vegetables, food store...

The aroma quickly spread into the compartment.

Tang Yanqian and the North Korean princess swallowed at the same time, looking eagerly, and did not open their mouths to eat.

It was slow and fast, and finally left Lushun, changing scenes along the way.The endless farmland and villages everywhere still make the two children unable to let go.

golden state.

Not to mention how they greeted each other, the Princess of Joseon followed Tang Yanqian into the Marquis of Pingliao Mansion, and the son of the Joseon Dynasty went to Jiedu Mansion.

Ge Shifeng went to the military office to hand in a post, and the officials gave him a few days off, so he went back home alone.

Originally wanted to see my sister, but the eldest son and the princess of North Korea had just arrived, so they guessed that the mansion was very busy, so they gave up.

I plan to visit my sister again in two days.

There are no elders in the family, and the two brothers and sisters depend on each other for life. But as they are getting older, Ge Shifeng refuses to let his younger sister come to the house in order to prevent gossip from the neighbors.

When the two brothers and sisters get together, most of them are in the wing room in the outer courtyard of the Marquis of Pingliao's Mansion.

good times.

The friends he could talk to were not in Jinzhou, they were scattered all over the place, struggling for their own futures, and Ge Shifeng didn't go anywhere.

It was dark on the second day.

The yard he entered was given to him by his wife.

Ge Shifeng didn't hire a maid or anything, he lived alone, there was always no one in the whole year, and the furniture in the house was still spotless.

He knew that when he was not around, his younger sister often came to clean, and he told her not to come, but her younger sister was also very stubborn sometimes, after all, they were two brothers and sisters with similar temperaments.

"what."

Woke up on time before dawn, and came to the courtyard shirtless after getting up, and began to work up his body, a strong figure, full of tendons.

At the age of 25, he is full of explosive power.

During those years when he was a general's bodyguard, he took care of his body to the extreme, and never let it go in the army. He had no distracting thoughts, and all his thoughts were put on his career.

One punch and one punch are powerful.

Until some red appeared in the gray sky, the ground and distant trees became significantly darker.

In the dark, Ge Shifeng, who was praised by North Korea as Zhao Zilong in his day, washed his face with cold water, wiped off his sweat, and rinsed his mouth with salt water before going back to the house and getting dressed.

Going out to the direction of the guardhouse, there are already pedestrians on the street, as well as the aroma from the breakfast stall.

Ge Shifeng went to the guard's office, ready to rely on his face for a living.

He doesn't have much money on him, so he needs to save some money.

Logically speaking, with his status, the family has no expenses, and the whole family is not hungry when he is full. He is basically in the army with food and clothing, and he has no bad habits. He should have accumulated a lot of money.

But he has a secret.

His money was quietly given to the family of the sacrificial Paoze.

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be a problem to sacrifice Paoze's family life, but I'm afraid of special circumstances.

For the money he sent out, he never left his name and was unknown.

The reason for doing this is because he, Ge Shifeng, knows that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done.

Since my purpose is only to help, then don't cause unnecessary trouble, and don't need to be grateful to him.

Arrived at the guard.

Ge Shifeng waited at the door for a long time, but he didn't see anyone he was familiar with. He looked hesitantly at the young faces of those eighteen or nineteen years old.

Ge Shifeng left silently before the guards at the guard station investigated.

It seems that his plan to earn a living in the guards failed because he didn't meet any acquaintances.

There was a bit of wind and frost on the face that should have been young.

It took less than half an hour to go back and forth, making my stomach even more hungry. I stopped in front of the food stall and finally left.

"Someone is here."

Ge Shifeng hesitated at the door, and suddenly stretched his brows, pushed open the courtyard door and entered.

"It's early in the morning, where did you go?"

My sister's voice came from the kitchen.Ge Shifeng couldn't help smiling, but still complained.

"You are a girl running around, what should you do if you are in danger?"

Just finished.

Two eleven or twelve-year-old boys came out of the kitchen, holding bowls with chopsticks in their hands, chewing food in their mouths, and shouted indistinctly.

"Brother Ge."

"Madam asked us to send Sister Ge Zhu here."

"It's annoying."

Ge Shifeng said hurriedly.

The two children laughed and talked.

Even if Liaodong is thriving, there will inevitably still be orphans. The military academy has a threshold, which is an important place to guarantee the status of soldiers in troubled times. It is the foundation for attracting the children of the common people and willing to risk their lives to join the army.

So the few orphans were taken in into Pingliaohou's Mansion, where they became servants and had a place to eat.

Walking into the kitchen, Ge Cui had already set up the bowls and chopsticks, a large pot of steaming noodles, and four boiled poached eggs on top.

"Could it be that you took it from the mansion?"

Ge Shifeng dissatisfied: "Even if Madam asked you to bring it, you shouldn't take it."

After a busy morning, he still heard his brother's misunderstanding. Ge Cu pointed to the two servants and said aggrievedly, "I asked Goudan to buy it for me. I have money myself."

Ge Shifeng has monthly money in the mansion, and has accumulated a lot of it. He wanted to give it to his brother many times, but Ge Shifeng refused and asked her to keep it for herself.

She didn't know why her brother was short of money because he had no expenses.

Although his elder brother kept it from him, Ge Cu observed it carefully.

Ge Shifeng sat on the bench, munching on noodles and an egg at a bite, and looked at his elder brother eating with happy eyes.

The elder brother is her protector and the little hero in her heart.

The great hero is the general.

A pot of noodles was loaded into Ge Shifeng's stomach three times and five times, and he even drank the soup.

Ge Xun asked Goudan and the others to hand him the empty bowl, and the two children had to wash it by themselves, and Ge Xun scolded them with a smile.

I mixed it with washing water in the stove and washed it first, then rinsed it with well water, and placed it neatly in the kitchen cabinet.

"Go out and play, remember to come back for dinner at noon."

The two children still feel embarrassed, but sister Ge Zhu has a good temper and everyone likes her, so they ran out to play happily.

The two siblings did not leave.

The small kitchen was full of warmth. Ge Shifeng stood up and stretched his body. Seeing that his sister was silent, he opened his mouth.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"I don't want to marry."

Goku said in a low voice.

She rarely asks her brother except when she can't help it, but as long as she asks, brother will help her do it.

Ge Shifeng was stunned.

I didn't expect this to be the case.

If it were someone else, it would definitely be a shock.However, Ge Shifeng's two brothers and sisters lived differently from others since they were young.

Ge Shifeng first went to Wang Fengsu's church, then to the military school, and finally stayed in the army, in a closed environment, so that the customs of the Great Zhou did not affect him.

The two siblings have no relatives, so Ge ​​Shifeng didn't care too much, but he was still worried.

"Why do you think so suddenly? If you don't get married now, what will you do when you get old?"

Originally, he didn't think of his sister's marriage, but his sister brought it up on his own initiative, and instead reminded him.

"I'll just stay in the mansion and serve my wife for the rest of my life, and I won't go anywhere."

Ge Shifeng was not worried that his sister would suffer in the mansion.

With Madam and Tang Yanqian's temperament, although my sister is a maid in the mansion, compared with people outside, she is enjoying a blessing.
