Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 109 Going South ([-])

The five masters and servants left the city, and soon they reunited with the four of Yi Guanshi.

Yi Guanshi is in his forties, a typical Jiangnan image, neither tall nor short, with a moderate build, a wide face and a square forehead, slightly fat, with an inverted triangular black beard growing under his chin, wearing a square scarf hat, and wearing a Gebu The blue shirt is neat and without any wrinkles, and it looks like a manager.

When Yao Cunhui stepped forward and bowed his hands and called "Uncle Yi", Guanshi Yi's gentle eyes flickered, smiled and bowed his hands in return, and said politely, "Is this Miss Yao Er? I can't afford to be called Miss like that!"

"There is so much trouble this time, Yao Cunhui is very grateful, you deserve to be called uncle!" Yao Cunhui laughed.

Yi Guanshi smiled slightly, and without any further excuses, he introduced his daughter and two followers to Yao Cunhui.

The two entourages were 27 or [-] years old, with ordinary appearance and moderate demeanor; Yi Feng was much younger, only two years older than Yao Cunhui, wearing light green clothes, with fair skin, full eyebrows and eyes, and two cheeks showing on his cheeks when he smiled. A deep dimple, people can't help but want to get close.

After the two parties met, they set out on the road immediately. The two carriages were readjusted. Yao Cunhui, Yi Guanshi and his daughter drove one, Fan Li drove; Xiao Xing Xiaoli and Fan Shuangshuang drove one, Xiao Wu drove, and Xiao Liu sat next to Xiao Wu .

We hurried along the way, and changed boats half a day later. When we arrived, the sky was already dark, but fortunately, the moon was shining brightly at night, so we were not cautious.

What Yao Cunhui didn't expect was that shopkeeper Lin was waiting on the remote and deserted pier with someone. When he saw him smiling and calling him "Second Miss", Yao Cunhui couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he remembered and asked: "Shopkeeper Lin! You, why are you here!"

"It was the eldest lady and the eldest uncle who sent someone to report on a fast horse. They said that the young lady will arrive tonight. The villain is still worried. I didn't expect to see the second young lady!"

"So that's it! My sister and my brother-in-law are interested!" Yao Cunhui was very grateful.

Yao Cunhui immediately introduced to shopkeeper Lin and Guanshi Yi. Shopkeeper Lin also had a good impression of the eldest son-in-law because of this matter, and when he heard that Guanshi Yi came to help, he was secretly relieved-there were locals here, It's much more convenient to talk about things, besides, this native is an expert in this field!Shopkeeper Lin was also very polite and enthusiastic towards Yi Guanshi.

"Let's go back to the residence first! It's a poor place, and I'm going to wrong Miss Er and Brother Yi!" Shopkeeper Lin smiled.

Yao Cunhui also smiled and said a few polite words to Guanshi Yi, but Guanshi even said he didn't dare.

The shopkeeper Lin was a veteran in the business field, and he had a set of skills in greeting people. He soon started talking and laughing with Yi Guanshi who was familiar with him along the way. Yi Feng talked in a low voice, and the atmosphere on both sides quickly became harmonious and relaxed.

This is indeed the "Lake Township". Shopkeeper Lin did not have a carriage to pick them up, but a small boat. After winding and turning for an unknown number of times, his eyes suddenly lit up, and finally some lights appeared.

Abandoning the boat and going ashore, shopkeeper Lin apologized and said: "There is no inn here, we rented a local squire named Yang to live in a separate courtyard, the place is a bit small, Second Miss is wronged! Brother Yi also please Haihan!"

"It doesn't matter to me, as long as I have a place to live!" Yao Cunhui didn't even hesitate when she spoke, with a slight smile on her face. Under the bright moonlight, her eyes were shining like stars.

Everyone was startled, they didn't expect the second young lady to be so easy to serve.

Yi Guanshi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter to us, as long as there is a place to stay!"

"That's good! That's good!" Shopkeeper Lin's troubled heart finally fell back into his chest.He thought about how to mention this matter to Yao Cunhui with countless wordings, and then felt that no matter how much he mentioned it, it was inevitable that he would scold him nine out of ten times, so he simply used the most direct language, not wanting to escape a catastrophe!
The courtyard is indeed small, but luckily it is still divided into two courtyards, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and it looks tidy under the moonlight, presumably shopkeeper Lin and others have already tidied it up.

It was getting dark that night, and after a few words in a hurry, they each rested.

Early the next morning, shopkeeper Lin told Yao Cunhui and Yi Guanshi what he had heard and seen in the past three or four days.Yao Cunhui is not an expert, and most of the time he listened, it was Guanshi Yi who asked in detail.

Some shopkeepers Lin could answer, while others did not.Manager Yi didn't care too much, he smiled and said it's okay, just go and have a look.

Yao Cunhui asked Yi Guanshi to take Fan Li and Fan Shuangshuang for advice.

This is what I told the Fan Li brothers and sisters earlier. The shopkeeper Lin is from the rice company, and he definitely has no reason to stay here for a long time. , Now it can be regarded as returning to the industry.

Fan Li's temperament, maybe staying here to farm is much better than entering the business field, and Fan Shuangshuang's temperament is delicate and careful to remind him from time to time, staying here is just right.When the time comes, this place will be stable, and everyone will be happy if they bring their mother over.

Manager Yi generously agreed, the uncle had explained carefully when he came here, everything was to be obeyed by his in-laws second lady when he came here, he is the uncle's confidant, how could he disobey the master's words?The uncle loves the grandma, presumably he did this to make the grandma smile!
What's more, this in-law's second lady is very kind and friendly to others, and they chatted happily along the way, and couldn't help but shorten the distance between the two parties. He is also willing to help the in-law's second lady in such a busy way.Although he was very disapproving of her approach in his heart.

Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, and even asked Fan Li and his sister to meet Yi Guanshi respectfully, and Yi Guanshi returned a half-respect.Then, a group of people went out to investigate on the spot.

It is indeed very deserted here.They settled in a small town in Huxiang, the central area of ​​Huxiang, and the population was still too sparsely populated.All the local residents make a living by fishing. Some vegetables are planted in front of and behind the houses.

Passing through the town by boat, everything is so quiet and desolate that there is no life and fireworks, so Yao Cunhui can't connect it with Huzhou, which was prosperous and prosperous in history.

After leaving the town for about half an hour, he abandoned the boat and landed. Looking at a vast and desolate area, overgrown with weeds, there was a vast expanse of water under his feet. Yao Cunhui stretched out his hand to explore, and in some places the water was deeper than the elbow.

"It's like this everywhere." Shopkeeper Lin said in embarrassment and sighed.

Manager Yi glanced at them, and said, "That's right, I've been to Hu Township before, and it's indeed the Water Town of Zeguo!"

"Is there a place with a slightly higher terrain?" Yao Cunhui asked.

Shopkeeper Lin thought for a while, and replied: "Yes, the northwest side is better than here." But the benefits are limited, he said in his heart.

"Let's go over there and have a look!" Yao Cunhui immediately turned around.

After watching for two days, a group of people walked all around Hu Township. Fan Li and others became more and more unconfident as they watched.

To be honest, seeing such desolation and desolation, the kind of solitude and desolation that almost submerged in the bones is enough to dampen any high enthusiasm and strong confidence, and knock them down to the eighteenth level of hell!But Yao Cunhui knew that she had no way out, she could only go forward!

This is Huzhou, isn't it?It is Huzhou where Suhu is familiar with the world!How honored she is to be the first settler on this vast land!Why not keep going?
"Second Miss, is she still planning to buy land?" It was Manager Yi who asked the question.Judging from his experience, it would be a big deal to develop this place!
"Yes." Yao Cunhui spit out the word lightly, without the slightest hesitation, and said, "Let's go to the Yamen tomorrow."

"...Yes, Second Miss!" Shopkeeper Lin hesitated slightly, but did not say any words of doubt and persuasion.Looking at the second young lady in front of him, he was suddenly in a trance for a moment: Is this the second young lady who followed him with a smile and asked various questions and humbly asked for advice?Her expression, imposing manner, flying eyebrows and full self-confidence when giving orders at this time, how can she have the appearance of the delicate and gentle little girl back then?And the distance before, but a few short months.

"What? Are you afraid? Are you so unconfident? I can guarantee that our trip will not be in vain!" Yao Cunhui raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining brightly.Under the sun, her smile was bright and wanton.

"I believe in the second lady! As long as the second lady says to continue working, the villain will definitely stick to it!" Fan Lisu didn't talk much, but this time he was the first to respond to Yao Cunhui.

Persistence, these two words have supported him for a long time, although in the end he did not go on the expected path and did not get the expected results, but the turning point, isn't it a new beginning now?He can persist once, why can't he persist again?
He understands Yao Cunhui's mood, because he had it before.

"Me too, Second Miss! As long as Second Miss needs a servant, she can do whatever Second Miss says she wants to be a slave!" Fan Shuangshuang also expressed his opinion.

Shopkeeper Lin and others looked at me and I looked at you. Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "Second Miss, since you have made your decision, all subordinates will obey."

"I won't let you down!" Yao Cunhui smiled sweetly.

Originally, Hu Township was not qualified to set up a yamen, but the place here is too big, and it would not be decent without a yamen to manage it, so the imperial court set up a small and simple yamen in the town.It is said that it is the county government, but it is not compiled, and it is not the county government, but it is performing the duties of the county government.

This is a wonderful existence.

When Yao Cunhui waited to come to the door, the unqualified "adult" had just gotten up, shook his head, blinked his somewhat confused eyes and stared for a while, thinking that the only servant had delivered the wrong message.

Hearing that the people who came here were well-dressed and well-mannered, and looked like rich people at first glance, this Mr. Zhao immediately regained his energy, finished grooming as quickly as possible, and came out to meet the guests.

When he heard Yao Cunhui say that he wanted to buy land, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't recover for a while.The first sentence I came to my senses was: "What? You, you say it again?"

　Collection, tickets, come to the bowl!
