Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 340

There is a big difference between Chongming County and Wanhua County.

Although the straight-line distance between the two is not very far, the economic conditions are vastly different.

Wanhua County has been the most prosperous county in the south since hundreds of years ago.

If Wanhua County is a fairyland on earth, then Chongming County is poor.There is no fertile land, no bad climate, even if the two counties are partly backed by water and partly by mountains, the situation of the two is completely different.

The water in Chongming County is bad water.

There are many reefs and whirlpools. Every year, I don't know how many ships have accidents near Chongming County, and I don't know how many people are killed in the waters of Chongming County.

The mountains in Chongming County are poor mountains.

There is no green vegetation cover, but there are ferocious beasts and various poisonous snakes and insects.

If there are only these things, it's fine, because the folk customs in Chongming County are extremely tough, and the saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers is simply tailor-made for Chongming County.

"God, now I'm a little glad that the place I crossed is Wanhua County. Even though Yangliu Village wasn't very rich at first, it didn't reach this level, right?" Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu hired three carriages, two of which were The carriages were full of hospital thugs hired by them, one at the front and one at the back, while Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu sat in the middle carriage.

At first, Mo Qianrui felt that Tang Yanxiu was making a fuss, but after traveling this way and seeing more things around him, Mo Qianrui realized that Tang Yanxiu's previous actions were completely correct.

"Don't mention it, didn't I come to Chongming County last time? Although I didn't stay for a few days, but here... I can't imagine that my ancestors came from here. Tsk tsk, could they be on the battlefield?" Build meritorious deeds."

Tang Yanxiu's words were unabashedly contemptuous.

Although Tang Yanxiu never looked down on the Great Patriarch, seeing how fierce the folk customs in the entire county are, and thinking about what happened before, it is strange to have a good impression of Chongming County.

However, in reality, even though Chongming County is the ancestral home of the Tang family, it is a bit far away.

You must know that the ancestors of the Tang family were military generals who followed the founding emperor to conquer the world, and this dynasty has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country.

In other words, the Tang family has settled in Jingdu County for hundreds of years, and even the ancestral hall of the Tang family has already moved to Jingdu County.

Now, rather than saying that Chongming County is the ancestral home of the Tang family, it might be because the Tang family's uncles and clansmen made a lot of noise last year, and His Majesty wanted to teach everyone in the Tang family a profound lesson.

But in this way, problems also surfaced.

That is, they couldn't find the Tang family's uncle and aunt.

It is true that Tang Yanxiu had inquired last time that the Tang family's ancestral home was Sang County in Chongming County.But it has been hundreds of years since the Tang family moved away from Chongming County, not to mention the ancestral house and ancestral hall, there is probably nothing left behind.Even, maybe the Tang family's uncle and aunt didn't know the exact location of the Tang family in Sang County back then.

And Sang County...

Although Chongming County is notoriously poor, the key point is that poor mountains and rivers can only represent economic backwardness or sparse population.The entire territory of Chongming County has not shrunk at all.Even compared to Wanhua County, Chongming County has a wider area.

In addition, due to the economic backwardness, apart from a few county towns near the wharf in Chongming County, there is not even a decent path in the surrounding areas.

Let's say that.

From Chongming County to Wanhua County by water, it only takes three to five days at most to reach Wanhua County, but if it is by land, it may not even take two months.

And Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu hurried, and finally arrived in Sang County, Chongming County one month after leaving Wanhua County.

Before arriving in Sang County, Mo Qianrui had many guesses and expectations about Tang Yanxiu's ancestral home.

But when it really arrived, I didn't have any thoughts.

Sang County, originally thought that since it was called the county seat, it shouldn't be too bad no matter what?

Mo Qianrui did not compare Sang County with Yu County. After all, although Yu County is not the most affluent county in Wanhua County, it is also among the top few.But Sang County, in Chongming County, is counting backwards.

However, even so, Mo Qianrui still did not expect that a county town would be inferior to Yangliu Village.

This is really not an exaggeration by Mo Qianrui, but a fact.

Yangliu Village is a small village, with a total of only a hundred households. In terms of money, at the earliest time, only the Li family was considered rich.Although this is the case, there is no problem with food and clothing in Yangliu Village.Even the poorest family back then would definitely be able to survive if they ate whole grains and miscellaneous foods every day.Not to mention, most people's life is quite prosperous.

Aside from other things, at least when Mo Qianrui first crossed over, he had never seen a family whose children had no clothes or food to eat.Of course, it is still possible to occasionally wear a piece of clothing that has been washed white or patched.

What about Kesang County?

As soon as you enter Sang County, what you see are low and dilapidated houses, and winding paths run through the entire Sang County. At first glance, these paths are made by people, not roads paved by the county government.Afterwards, almost everyone I saw was wearing tattered clothes. Many half-grown children wore clothes that didn't fit, and even some children were simply wearing clothes. nothing.

What caught Mo Qianrui the most was their feet.

To see whether a place is poor or rich, of course, many aspects must be compared.

But Mo Qianrui felt that a person's feet could tell the real situation.

To be precise, not the feet, but the shoes.

The villagers in Yangliu Village, for example, wore their own layered soles on their feet, which Mo Qianrui used to wear as well.As for Mingyue Town, most of the people in the town bought special soles, and then provided the uppers themselves.As for Yuxian County or Wanhua County, except for young children, men wear high-top boots, while women wear exquisite embroidered shoes.

And what about Sang County?

Dirty cloth shoes are the best, and there are broken shoes with holes, straw sandals, and bare feet.

You know, it's only March now, and if it's in Wanhua County, the weather would be pretty good.But here in Chongming County, even wearing a jacket in March felt a little cold, and the feeling of bare feet made me feel horrified.

"Yan Xiu, are you sure your uncle and aunt will be in Sang County?"

Looking out from the window of the carriage, Mo Qianrui became more and more hesitant.

It's true that Mo Qianrui didn't know anything about the situation of the Tang family's uncles and aunts, but she was very clear about one thing.

That is Tang Yanxiu's cousin's 120 eight carry dowry.

Although most of the dowry was corrupted by Tang Yanxiu's mother, it also indirectly proved the wealth of the Tang family.Just think about it, if the Tang family were very poor, even if Tang Yanxiu's mother's dowry was greedy at the beginning, it would never have been used as Tang Yanxiu's cousin's dowry.

Humans are selfish.

So, judging from Tang Yanxiu's generous dowry alone, the Tang family is definitely not poor.

But this Sang County...

"I'm very sure that the Tang family's ancestral home is in Sang County, but I have no way to prove that my uncle and aunt will definitely settle in Sang County." Tang Yanxiu frowned and glanced at the situation outside, and after silently thinking about it, she added He said, "However, since uncles and aunts were forced to carry the coffin back to their hometown, even if it was just for show, they should settle down in Sang County."

While speaking, the carriage pulled up, but it arrived at the only inn in Sang County.

After getting off the carriage, Mo Qianrui and Tang Yanxiu looked at the inn in front of them, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The only inn in Sang County!

This is simply more dilapidated than any post station in any rural place in Wanhua County.

"Forget it, let's get down first, and ask them about your uncle and aunt by the way. I think, even if they couldn't help but move out later, they must have returned to Sang County at first."

Mo Qianrui's statement was strongly endorsed by Tang Yanxiu.

Indeed, no matter how unwilling the Tang family's uncle and aunt were, they must have been to Sang County in the first place.But in a strange place, it is obviously unrealistic to buy a property from the beginning, so living in an inn is the most convenient and basically the only choice.

A group of people entered the inn, because the inn itself was not big, Tang Yanxiu simply booked the entire inn, called the shopkeeper, and entered the best room with Mo Qianrui.

"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something."

Calculated the time when I met the Tang family's uncle and aunt, and added the time when they arrived here from the pier, Tang Yanxiu described the appearance of the Tang family's uncle and aunt in detail, and asked the shopkeeper to think about it. Have you seen it? That kind of people.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, fortunately, Sang County is not a major traffic route, and there are almost no travelers who usually come and go.If this is in Yu County, Wanhua County, even the shopkeeper with the best memory, let alone what happened almost a year ago, even if people recall the guests before the fish banquet in November, there is probably no one. I can think of it.

Therefore, after a little thought, the shopkeeper quickly gave the correct answer.

The Tang family's uncles and aunts had indeed been to Sang County, and they had indeed stayed in this inn. Moreover, their stay was not too short, about two months before and after.

After staying for two months, the family of Tang's uncle and aunt left the inn, but they did not leave Sang County. Instead, they bought real estate in Sang County and moved to their own house.

However, the shopkeeper only knew so much, and he couldn't answer which corner of Sang County the Tang family's uncle and aunt moved to.

However, this Sang county is poor and poor. If you really want to calculate the area, one Sang county is almost as big as two Yu counties.

Most importantly, Sang County is not located in a plain, but surrounded by mountains.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to find the family of the Tang family...

Let's go!
