Qin Mubai took the two daughters to the port city in the north of Xiangyang and stopped in front of the gate of Zhengchang Lianghao.
Princess Gao Yang got out of the car and said unhappily: "Why are you here? The crowd is noisy and it smells like a fishy smell. What I want is a quiet and elegant place."
Wu Meiniang glanced around, but smiled knowingly: "Your Royal Highness, this place is great!"
"Where is it?" Princess Gao Yang glanced around unwillingly, and said dullly, "No matter what, this is in the market! Mu Bai, you are clearly making fun of us!"
"Don't you know if you come?" Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and walked to the gate of Zhengchang Lianghao.
On the huge wooden door hangs an equally huge brass lock with official seals on it.
Princess Gao Yang stepped forward curiously and said: "Where is this place, why are you going to be sealed?"
Qin Mubai took out the key and deliberately stimulated her to smile and said, "This is the place I arranged for Mei Niang! Of course, I don't have your share."
"What are you talking about? You guy!...I'm mad at me!" Princess Gao Yang was really mad, and she turned to Qin Mubai with a small pink fist.
Qin Mubai laughed loudly, opened the brass lock and pushed the door open, and said, "You guys, please come! There is no heaven in it!"
"Huh!" Princess Gao Yang stared, turned her head and walked in first.
Wu Meiniang stepped forward to take a look at the courtyard, and smiled cheerfully: "It's really good. This is the place where the market is the busiest and most prosperous, with the most crowded people. When I was a child, I had come here with my mother. , I remember that there is a big courtyard here, there is a big platform for the driver's footman to rest, people can live behind the yard, the environment is quite quiet."
"You still know the goods." Qin Mubai gave her the key with a smile, and said, "Okay, this is yours."
Wu Meiniang took the key and smiled warmly and said: "Have you got everything clear?"
"Of course. I am also one of the top officials in Xiangzhou anyway. I can take care of this matter? I have paid the rent for five years, including the Yongye Salt Factory opposite. It’s yours.” Qin Mubai pointed to the opposite side and said, “It’s a little smaller than here, but the layout is better. If you change it, you can open a restaurant. You see if you are interested.”
"The two shops, have you settled down?" Wu Meiniang couldn't help being a little surprised, "Such a huge shop, it costs a lot of money, right? You paid the rent for five years, where does the money come from?"
"Don't worry, I won't be reduced to corruption." Qin Mubai laughed, and then briefly told her about the reselling of food in the past two months.
The two of them talked and walked in, and heard Princess Gao Yang shouting loudly inside: "Hey, you guys come soon! Wow! This is great!"
"This guy is still like a child." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.
"A woman will always behave naively in front of her beloved man. Princess Gaoyang is not usually like this, but she is majestic enough. Everyone says she is young and mature." Wu Meiniang said.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but was startled, and nodded in agreement: "Correct solution!"
"Just be proud of you, huh!" Wu Meiniang gave him an angry look, and walked around to Princess Gaoyang.
The princess Gaoyang, who was not able to stay free, has already ran to the backyard, where she can see scattered pavilions, deep blue lotus ponds, exquisite carved beams and various decorations made from Taihu stone.
Although Zhengchang Lianghao is located in the bazaar, the front house is also a large area for commercial port decoration, but the back house is a unique cave. The north of the city is close to the suburbs. A small stream runs through the back house to fill the pond with river water. Along the wall there is a willow forest and green grassland, and there are also a lot of flowers. The exquisite and elegant residence makes Princess Goyang, who is used to seeing the tall and magnificent buildings in Kyoto, feel beautiful and fresh.
"Haha, it turns out that the back is so beautiful! It's decided, I decided to live here!" Princess Gao Yang exclaimed joyfully, "It's a beautiful river and bamboo buildings! Well, the house is also very beautiful. Jingxiang’s homes are very interesting!"
"Please, these are ponds and streams, what big river?" Qin Mubai smiled.
"I said it is a big river, then it is a big river, how about it?" Princess Gao Yang put out her tongue at Qin Mubai and made a grimace, and then took Wu Meiniang to the house and bamboo buildings excitedly, watching around excitedly .
At the beginning, the family of Duan Rongji, the owner of Zhengchang Lianghao, lived here. There are rumors in Xiangyang County that the Duan’s house is like a blessed land, and the gods want to live a few more days when they come. Now it seems that it is true. Duan Rongji, a wealthy businessman, really knows how to enjoy, making his home refined and elegant. The luxurious luxury, the simple simplicity, the magnificence without losing the dignity, the exquisiteness without losing the atmosphere. There is no shortage of gardens and landscapes. You can go fishing and outing at home. There is even a polo field that is rare in Jingxiang and popular in Guanzhong and Kyoto. The ground is covered with neat grass, which looks like a football field. Take less time and money to take care of it.
The second daughter boarded a bamboo building with Miao and Yi style by the stream, and smiled at Qin Mubai on it.
"Mu Bai, why is there such a unique bamboo building here?" they asked.
"Duan Rongji once asked a concubine from Nanzhao Country. In order to take care of her homesickness, he specially invited someone to build it." Qin Mubai said, "How about it, not bad?"
"It's more than good, the simplicity is extremely refined!" Wu Meiniang said, "Every place here is polished to be as smooth as a mirror, both strong and beautiful, and there are many beautiful birds and animals carved on the bamboo wall. Landscape pictures!"
"Okay, this is mine, haha!" Princess Gaoyang announced first, and laughed proudly, "I have lived in any beautiful house, but I have never lived in a bamboo house. Mei Niang, Are you okay?"
Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has spoken, how dare I have any objections? Okay, I will let you live here. But if you are scared in the middle of the night, you are not allowed to run into my room. "
Qin Mubai listened to the hot conversation between the two of her, and he curled his lips and said secretly: "You just have fun. Li Daozong said that if you are not allowed to stay overnight, you will definitely not allow it. Although he is kind and generous, he has always said one thing.
After a while, the second daughter came down from the bamboo building. Wu Meiniang said to Qin Mubai: "Mubai, you send someone to the military port for a trip, and call all my sisters and gangsters! They! I have been busy unloading the goods, and it should be almost done now. Now I have to hire more carts and horses to haul those supplies from the port to here. I just saw that there are several large warehouses in the former house, which are suitable for use."
"Okay." Qin Mubai nodded and asked, "What did you bring, are you a lot?"
"Of course there are many." Wu Meiniang said, "Most of them are the finest Qinxian wine. When the market is open for business, there are always many joints and grounds to be collected. It is not appropriate to send money or goods. It would be better to send this special wine Furthermore, if I were to run a wine shop, it would definitely be too late to brew. These good wines are now in the kiln and can be used when they are taken out. Others are gifts for us people. Somehow they come. There are thirty or forty people. Each person only counts two boxes of things, which is a lot."
"Wow... Mei Niang, you are really capable!" Princess Gao Yang stuck out her tongue in surprise, and said, "I run such a big family business and lead so many people. It's me, I must be annoying. Dead!"
Qin Mubai smiled and said: "In my opinion, you are better able to do it."
"Why?" Princess Gao Yang asked curiously, blinking.
"Whether it's the palace, the capital, Yang, or a small place like Xiangyang, the place you go is bound to be insecure, and everyone is panicked. Who can you do?" Qin Mubai laughed loudly.
"Big villain, I'm fighting with you!" Princess Gao Yang was furious, and Yinya bit her apricot and stared at her, she was about to rush forward.
Qin Mubai rushed away with a big laugh. Princess Gao Yang chased him for a while, panting for a while and stopped, stomping her feet with anger, "Too hateful!"
Wu Meiniang came up and said with a grin: "Princess, why are you angry with him? He has such a broken mouth."
"Mei Niang, I won't do it! We agreed to deal with him together, and now you speak for him again. Just now he bullied me, you don't care!" Princess Gao Yang grunted.
"Isn't he going to do business? According to the agreement, we can't miss his business, can't we?" Wu Meiniang smiled.
"It's also..." Princess Gao Yang blinked, and suddenly frowned, and said depressed, "He is going to help you run errands! Okay, Mei Niang, you have selfish intentions!"
"Help me with things, that's also a business!" Wu Meiniang couldn't help laughing.
"Then, then I will ask him to help me with a serious event, then we will be even!" Princess Gao Yang pouted.
"Okay, OK, then you'll have to give orders then!" Wu Meiniang shook her head and smiled.
Qin Mubai came to the door of the Lianghao, found several sergeants who were waiting here, and ordered the matter down. Let them go to the market to hire more mules, wagons and carts, and take his warrant to find people in the military port, invite all the people with Wu Meiniang and bring all the goods. All the sergeants immediately separated their actions.
Back in the yard, looking around, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile: This place has already given me a taste of home, and it would be better if my mother and Shuang'er could also come. It turns out that what I miss is not Chang'an, a city built of blue bricks and gray tiles, but these people who are far away in Chang'an.
The house has not been cleaned, Wu Meiniang and Princess Gao Yang sat in a pavilion chatting. Qin Mubai stepped forward and asked Wu Meiniang: "Mei Niang, have you seen Shuang'er before you came?"
"It's not just that we have seen it, we spend some time together almost every day." Wu Meiniang said.
"There is me, and me!" Princess Gao Yang also said rushingly, "When I was in Chang'an, I would go out of the palace if I had spare time, and go to your house with Mei Niang to find Shuang'er and Yaoer. They play. Yaoer practices the gangqin every day, and now she plays nicely! We will learn pipa and piano with her, it’s fun!"
Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, and said, "Then did you invite Shuang'er to Xiangzhou when you were leaving?"
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "I received your letter, so I made an appointment with her to come to Xiangzhou very early, and your mother is also going to come together. It is only temporary When something goes wrong, she and the other two can’t decide to come."
"What's the situation?" Qin Mubai frowned.
"It's...Wu Wangfei!" Wu Meiniang said with deep meaning.
"Oh, so...it's a pity." Qin Mubai shook his head regretfully, and said in his heart: Yes. When Shuang'er came to Xiangyang, half of it was to see me and half to see Li Ke. But now that Concubine Wu's new funeral, her identity will become sensitive and embarrassing, so she didn't come.
"Let’s talk about it later, anyway, we are going to live in Xiangyang for a long time, maybe three or five years." Wu Meiniang said, "If Shuang'er and Auntie are here, how can I live here? I. Seeing that you have been in Xiangzhou for many days without an official position, you will have a place to stay in the future!"
"Yes!" Qin Mubai said with a gratified smile, "That's why I think that mother and sister can also live for a while, so they will feel more at home."
"Speaking of speaking, I just don't mention it to me." Princess Gao Yang held her cheeks and complained in a whisper, "It seems that I am just a superfluous, so boring."
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing: "If Linger could be here every day, of course it would be even better."
Princess Goyang was startled slightly, although she didn't say anything, she rushed to the eyebrows with a joy.
Because this is the first time Qin Mubai called her "Ling'er" in front of Wu Meiniang's affectionate name!
This Linger called Princess Gao Yang warmly, and she felt a sense of accomplishment, as if she was closer to him than Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang only laughed secretly, pretending not to know.
Qin Mubai coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow is the grand memorial ceremony of Emperor Yang's tomb. After finishing this important event, I will be able to relax for a while. At that time, I will take you to all parts of Xiangzhou. Take a good swim in the mountains and water."
"Okay!" The two women were overjoyed and responded in unison.
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed triumphantly, laughing more and more.
"What are you proud of, don't laugh!"
The two girls blushed together and rushed forward to "group" him as a group. For a time, Fenquan flew up and scolded again and again, which made Qin Mubai excited.
He feels that Xiangzhou now seems to be a bit of Chang'an.
