Chapter 259 Everywhere is Chang'an

Qin Mubai took the second daughter to the Hong Kong city north of Xiangyang City and stopped in front of the gate of Zhengchang Grain.

Princess Gaoyang got out of the car and said unhungrately, "Why are you here? There are so many people and there is a big fishy smell. What I want is a quiet and elegant place to live."

Wu Mei Niang looked left and right, but smiled: "Your Highness, this place is not bad!"

"What's good?" Princess Gaoyang glanced around unplea happily and said sullenly, "It's okay at all. This is in the market!" Mu Bai, you are obviously playing tricks on us!"

"Do you know when you come?" Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and walked to the gate of Zhengchang Grain.

There is an equally huge copper lock hanging on the huge wooden door, with the seal of the government.

Princess Gaoyang stepped forward curiously and said, "What is this place? Why do you want to be sealed?"

Qin Mubai took out the key and deliberately stimulated her smile and said, "This is the residence I arranged for Mei Niang!" Of course, it's not your share."

"What did you say? You guy! ...I'm so pissed off!" Princess Gaoyang really lost her temper and hit Qin Mubai with her little pink fist.

Qin Mubai laughed, opened the copper lock, pushed the door open, and said, "You two, please! There is no other hole in it!"

"Humph!" Princess Gaoyang stared, turned her head and walked in first.

Wu Mei Niang came forward and looked at the courtyard and said with a happy smile, "It's really good. This is the most lively and bustling place with the most people. When I was a child, I also came here with my mother. I remember that there is a large courtyard in it, and there is a large shop for the driver and footman to rest. People can live behind the yard, and the environment is quite quiet.

"It's still you who know the goods." Qin Mubai smiled and gave her the key and said, "Okay, it's yours."

Wu Mei Niang took the key and said with a warm smile, "Have you made it clear?"

"Of course. At least I'm one of the best officials in Xiangzhou. Can I still take care of this? I have paid the rent for five years, including the Yongye Salt Square opposite, which is also yours. Qin Mubai pointed to the opposite side and said, "It's a little smaller than here, but the pattern is better. If it is changed, you can open a restaurant. See if you are interested."

"Have you knocked down the two shops?" Wu Meiniang couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Such a huge shop costs a lot of money, right? You paid the rent for five years. Where did the money come from?

"Don't worry, I won't fall into corruption." Qin Mubai smiled and simply told her about the resale of grain in the past two months.

As they spoke, they walked in and heard Princess Gaoyang shouting loudly in it: "Hey, come quickly!" Wow! This place is great!"

"This guy is still like a child." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

"Women always act childish in front of their beloved men. Princess Gaoyang is usually not like this. She is majestic enough. Everyone says that she is young and old. Wu Mei Niang said so.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be stunned and nodded with deep thought: "Correct solution!"

"Just be proud, hum!" Wu Mei Niang glanced at him angrily and walked around to Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gaoyang, who was not idle, had run to the backyard and saw the scattered pavilion, the dark blue lotus pond, the exquisite carved beams and all kinds of decorations made of Taihu stone.

Although Zhengchang Grain is located in the market, and the front house is also a large part of the decoration of the commercial port, the back house is unique. In the suburbs in the north of the city, a stream runs through the back house and injects river water into the pond. Along the wall, there is a willow forest and grass green land, and a large number of flowers are planted. The exquisite and elegant residence makes Princess Gaoyang, who is used to 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've decided to live here!" Princess Gaoyang shouted happily, "What a beautiful river and bamboo buildings! Well, the house is also beautiful! Jing Xiang's house is very interesting!"

"Please, this is a pond and a stream, what a big river?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"I said it's a big river, so it's a big river, how about it?" Princess Gaoyang stuck out her tongue and made a grimace for Qin Mubai, and pulled Wu Mei Niang to run to the house and the bamboo building, looking around excitedly.

At the beginning, Duan Rongji and his family, the owner of Zhengchang Grain, all lived here. There are rumors in Xiangyang County that the Duan family's house is like a blessed land. When the immortals come, they also want to live for a few more days. Now it seems that it's true. Duan Rongji, a rich businessman, really enjoys it and makes his home exquisite and elegant. The luxurious luxury should be simple and simple, rich and solemn, exquisite and elegant. There is no shortage of garden landscapes. You can fish and play in the mountains and rivers at home. There is even a horse court that is rare and popular in Kyoto, Guanzhong. The ground is paved with neat grass, like a football field. It can be seen that it usually takes a lot of effort and money to take care of it.

The two women climbed a bamboo building with the wind of Miao Yi by the stream and smiled at Qin Mubai on it.

"Mu Bai, how can there be such a unique bamboo building here?" They asked.

"Duan Rongji once asked for a concubine from Nannuma and specially hired someone to build it in order to take care of her homesickness." Qin Mubai said, "How's it going? Isn't it good?"

"It's not only good, it's simple and exquisite!" Wu Mei Niang said, "Every place here is polished as smooth as a mirror, which is strong and beautiful, and there are many exquisite landscape pictures of birds and beasts carved on the bamboo wall!"

"Okay, it's mine here, haha!" Princess Gaoyang announced first and laughed proudly, "I'm so old that I have lived in any beautiful house, but I have never lived in a bamboo building. Mei Niang, do you think it's okay?"

Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "Your Highness has opened her mouth. How dare I have any objection? Well, let you live here. But if you are afraid in the middle of the night, don't come to my room.

Qin Mubai listened to the two of them talking hotly, curled his lips and said secretly: Just have fun. Li Daozong said that you are not allowed to stay at night, and he will definitely not allow it. Although he is kind and generous, he has always said the best.

After a while, the two women came down from the bamboo building. Wu Meiniang said to Qin Mubai, "Mubai, you send someone to the military port and call my sisters and followers!" They have been busy with the goods, and now it should be almost done. Now we have to hire more cars and horses to haul those supplies from the port here. I just saw that there are several large warehouses in the front house, which are just right for use.

"Okay." Qin Mubai nodded and agreed, "What did you bring? Is there a lot?"

"Of course." Wu Mei Niang said, "It's mostly good Qin Xianjiu. When opening the market and doing business, there are always many joints to hit the ground. It is not suitable to send money and goods. It is best to send such specialty wine. Besides, if I want to run a wine shop, it will be too late to brew for a while. These good wines are now stored in the kiln, and they can be used when they are taken out. Others are the gifts of us. At least there are 30 or 40 people here, and each person only counts two boxes of things, which adds up to a lot.

"Wow...Mei Niang, you are so capable!" Princess Gaoyang spit out her tongue in surprise and said, "I run such a big family business and lead so many people. If it were me, I would be bored to death!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I think you can do it better."

"Why?" Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

"Whether it is the palace, the capital, Yang or a small place like Xiangyang, the place you go to must be uneasy. Who can do what you can't do?" Qin Mubai laughed loudly.

"Big bad guy, I'll fight with you!" Princess Gaoyang was furious. As soon as her silver teeth bit the apricot's eyes, she was about to rush up.

Qin Mubai laughed and ran away. Princess Gao Yang chased and killed him for a while. She stopped panting and stamped her feet angrily, "It's so hateful!"

Wu Mei Niang came forward and said with a smile, "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 are talking to him again. He bullied me just now, and you don't care!" Princess Gaoyang snorted.

"Isn't he going to do business? According to the agreement, we can't miss his business, can we? Wu Mei Niang smiled.

"That's right..." Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes, suddenly frowned and said depressedly, "He's going to help you run errands! Okay, Mei Niang, you are selfish!"

"Help me do something, that's also a business!" Wu Mei Niang couldn't help laughing.

"Well, then I'll ask him to help me with a serious big event, and then we will be even!" Princess Gaoyang pouted and said.

"Okay, okay, then you can tell me at that time!" Wu Mei Niang shook her head and smiled.

Qin Mubai came to the door of the grain number, found several accompanying sergeants waiting here, and ordered the matter. Let them go to the market to hire more mule carriages and footbare handlebars, take his warrants to the military port to find people, and invite all the people accompanied by Wu Mei Niang, and all the goods will be moved. The sergeants immediately acted separately.

Returning to the yard and looking around, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile: I could smell a trace of home here. It would be better if my mother and Shuang'er could come. It turns out that what I miss is not a city built of green bricks and gray tiles like Chang'an, but these people far away in Chang'an.

Before the house was swept away, Wu Mei Niang sat in a gazebo with Princess Gaoyang. Qin Mubai came forward and asked Wu Mei Niang, "Mei Niang, have you seen Shuang'er before you came?"

"Not only have we seen it, we will stay together for a while almost every day." Wu Meiniang said.

"And me, and me!" Princess Gaoyang also rushed to say, "When I was in Chang'an, I would also go out of the palace if I had spare time. I would go to your house with Mei Niang to find Shuang'er and the demons to play with them. Yaoer practices the Gangqin every day, and now she plays it very well! We followed her to learn the pipa and piano. It's so interesting!"

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled and said, "Did you invite Shuang'er to come to Xiangzhou with you when you were leaving?"

Wu Mei Niang smiled, 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 with me. It was just that something happened, and the two of them decided not to come.

"What's the situation?" Qin Mubai frowned.

"That's...Princess Wu!" Wu Mei Niang said with deep meaning.

"Oh, this... what a pity." Qin Mubai shook his head regretfully and said to himself: Yes. If Shuang'er comes to Xiangyang, half will look at me and half will look at Li Ke. But now that Princess Wu is in mourning, her identity will become ** and embarrassing, so she didn't come.

"Let's talk about it later. Anyway, we will live in Xiangyang for a long time, maybe three or five years." Wu Meiniang said, "If Shuang'er and aunt come, they can't live here. I saw that you haven't been an official for many days in Xiangzhou, and you will have a place to stay in the future!"

"Yes!" Qin Mubai smiled happily and said, "That's why I think my mother and sister can come to live for a while, which makes me feel more at home."

"Speaking of it, just don't talk about me." Princess Gaoyang held her cheek and complained, "It seems that I'm superfluous. It's really boring."

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing: "If Linger could be here every day, of course it would be better."

Princess Gaoyang was slightly stunned. Although she didn't say anything, a sense of joy rushed to her eyebrows.

Because this is the first time that Qin Mubai called her "Ling'er" affectionately in front of Wu Mei Niang!

This sound of Linger made Princess Gaoyang warm and had a sense of accomplishment, as if she was closer to him than Wu Mei Niang.

Wu Mei Niang only smiled secretly and pretended not to know.

Qin Mubai coughed dryly and said with a smile, "The day after tomorrow is the memorial ceremony of Emperor Yang's mausoleum. After doing this big thing, I can relax for a while. At that time, I will take you to go to Xiangzhou for a good swim.

"Good!" The two women were overjoyed and answered with one voice.

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed proudly and couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you proud of? Don't laugh!"

The two women blushed together and came forward to "bult" him. For a moment, the pink fists flew and scolded repeatedly, which made Qin Mubai's heart furious.

He felt that at present, Xiangzhou was also a little romantic in Chang'an.
