The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 812 Teaching (2)
She has seen the map of Dongling, which is roughly equivalent to the modern Shanghai stock market. There is no place name like Shanghai in Dayun, and a small city at the mouth of the Qingjiang River is called Dongling.Due to the nuisance of pirates, Dongling City is not located by the sea, but is located on the shore of Jianhu Lake, which is a hundred miles away from the sea.

Jianhu Lake with a radius of [-] miles is connected to Qingjiang River, and more than [-] miles to the east is the sea.

A few decades ago, this place was just an inconspicuous small town, and most of the residents were fishermen.With the establishment of the Jianhu Navy, the number of people here gradually increased. While fishing and raising fish, people also reclaimed wasteland to plant mulberry and silkworms. Industry and commerce gradually sprouted, and Dongling Wharf became lively.Tangling has developed from a low-level county to a high-level county, and its population has more than tripled.

Every time Yao Yanyu sees this place on the map, she feels regretful.The world-famous Great Shanghai in later generations is actually not on the territory of the Dayun Dynasty!This unscientific!

"Ma'am?" Tang Xiaoyi saw that Yao Yanyu was lost in thought. After waiting for a while, she finally didn't speak, so he reminded: "It's only a day's journey from Jiang Ning to Dongling by boat, and the boat is ready-made."

"Yeah." Yao Yanyu nodded and said, "That's right. The yamen is also on holiday."

"If the lady agrees, I will ask someone to prepare it?"

Yao Yanyu smiled and said, "All right. Your wife, children, and Cuiwei Cuiping should all go together. It will be more lively when everyone gets together during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay!" Tang Xiaoyi nodded happily, the task assigned by Master Hou has been completed, and he can go back and hand over the work.

The most troublesome things in this world are women and children.On Yao Yanyu's side, there are four women and six children when they go out.

Tang Xiaoyi looked at the busy work of the servants and women, and sighed silently in his heart: Is it easy for us generals guarding the town to have a new year? !

After working hard for two days, I managed to get everything onto the boat.Yao Yanyu, Su Yuheng and others took the children and a few maids and servants who were close to them on board, and the house here was still reserved for the old servants who were in charge of guarding.

Because Yao Yanyu doesn't like publicity, the boat Tang Xiaoyi prepared was an ordinary passenger boat, not big. Yao Yanyu took his own child and the maids and servants in the same boat, Tang Xiaoyi, his wife and children used the same boat, and Cuiwei and Cuiping shared the boat. a boat.Their luggage is on their own boats, which saves messes when disembarking.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, we set off early in the morning and arrived at Tanglin in the evening.Take the time to tidy up without delaying the New Year's dinner.

Master Dongzhi County is an elegant person. After Wei Zhang came to Dongling, he cleaned up a courtyard located in Cangpu Mountain and gave it to Lord Ning as the military governor's mansion.Cangpu Mountain is on the west side of Dongling County, with a height of only 600 meters. It is a small hill mixed with stones.

The other courtyard is located on the southern slope of the mountain. To the west, you can see the vast Jianhu Lake, and to the east, you can see the whole view of Dongling County.

Of course, the scenery on Changpu Mountain is superb, and the magistrate of Dongling is not the only one who can build a different courtyard here.

When Yao Yanyu's carriage stopped at the gate on the west side of the courtyard, there happened to be an ox cart slowly coming up along the gently sloping bluestone road. hear.

"Madam, please get out of the carriage." Outside the carriage, Shen Jiang said respectfully.

Xiangru went out first, and then squatted on the shaft of the car to help Yao Yanyu get out of the car.As soon as Yao Yanyu jumped off the carriage, she heard a shout from behind, but the ox cart stopped.

To the west of this road, there are also several other courtyards, which are the places for several wealthy merchants in Tangling to cultivate their morality.But these people all knew that Lord Magistrate Ning, the warlord of the Jianhu Navy, lived in this other courtyard of the county magistrate, so no one dared to be presumptuous. Seeing a carriage listening at the entrance of the west courtyard, they stopped early and waited.

Yao Yanyu didn't know the situation for the first time, so she just casually glanced back, when a gust of cold wind blew by, the curtain of the bullock cart moved, revealing the silhouette of a woman inside.

This was originally a very common and trivial matter, and others would not care about it, but Yao Yanyu has practiced inner breath for many years, and her sharp eyesight and ears are by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.At that moment, a person flashed in her mind, and she froze there.

"Ma'am? Let's go in." Xiang Ru didn't know what Yao Yanyu was doing looking at the bullock cart, but standing at the door was no problem, so she reminded her softly.

"Where is General Tang?" Yao Yanyu turned her head and walked in while supporting Xiangru's hand.

"When we disembarked to carry the luggage, our Lord Hou sent someone to call General Tang, saying that there was something important to do." Shen Jianglow replied.

"Ask someone to watch that bullock cart quietly." Yao Yanyu ordered in a low voice after she buried herself in the threshold.

Shen Jiang followed Yao Yanyu for many years and had already become a monkey spirit, so he hurriedly responded and turned around and left.

After Yao Yanyu entered, Su Yuheng and the nanny brought the children in one after another. After the people in the several carriages got off, the coachman led the carriage to the horse number at the back. The road at the door was cleared. The bullock cart began to move slowly.

After Shen Jiang watched everyone enter the door, Fang gestured to a guard, and then pointed to the bullock cart.The guard nodded slightly, and waited for the bullock cart to turn into the trees before jumping lightly onto a big tree outside the door, and followed quietly.

Everyone was a little tired after a day's boat ride, so they each had a little dinner in their own rooms.

Cuiwei felt unwell and went to bed without eating. Cuiping came to see Yao Yanyu and the children. Yao Yanyu brought up bird's nest porridge that had been simmering since the boat, and Cuiping each served a small bowl.

"Called us over, but they disappeared again." Cuiping added some sugar to Yao Yanyu's bird's nest, and sighed in a low voice, "Tomorrow is the new year, I wonder if I can come back?"

"Let's prepare first, we will have to live if they don't come back." Yao Yanyu took the bird's nest and took a sip with a spoon.

Someone outside was talking, as if it was getting late, if it didn't matter, it would be tomorrow or something.Yao Yanyu asked sideways, "Who is it?"

"Ma'am, it's Shen Jiang. He said he has something urgent to go back to Ma'am." Zisui said at the door.

"Tell him to come in." Yao Yanyu put the bird's nest aside and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

After Shen Jiang came in, he saw that the third wife was also there, so he saluted and greeted each other, and then replied: "Mrs. Hui, the ox cart that passed by the door in the evening was the daughter of the tea merchant Du Yuming. The girl is 16 years old this year, she went to Chenghuang Temple to offer incense today, and happened to pass by the gate when she came back."

"Who is sitting in the car with her?" Yao Yanyu asked.

"There is one of her maids in the car. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her name is Xiangcao. The other is her female teacher. It is said that she is very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Du Yuming specially invited her from the capital."
