My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

On the fourth day after leaving Yiyang Prefecture, we entered Lichang County. At the same time, we finally set foot on a smooth and easy-to-walk cement road.

Officials from the official road management office are stationed in Anqing Town, under Lichang County. The official road has been built here. Of course, the newly laid cement cannot be walked or allowed to go before it is formed.

Therefore, Xu Yinyin and her party deliberately detoured to Yuqing Town, then walked on the cement official road outside Changping Town, all the way to Qing'an Mansion, which was the border of Qizhou.

This road is all made of concrete official roads, and the horse-drawn carriage runs with a lot of kicking and kicking, which is very enjoyable.

The official road is smooth and spacious, and it is not prone to collisions and other accidents like the previous life where vehicles kept coming and going.

As long as they avoid the oncoming cars passing by on the left, there are no cars in front of them along the way, so the run is very enjoyable and there is no delay at all.

Therefore, at the end of the day, we traveled almost two hundred miles without stopping. We booked an inn in the city that night. Everyone was tired from riding in the car, so they should take a good rest.

The cement road official road was much easier and faster than the previous official road. Four days later, their group had entered Licheng.

It only takes nine days to get up and down, the same time as taking a boat to Licheng, but there are hundreds of miles of original official roads in two counties.

If all were replaced by cement official roads, it would only take seven days at most.

When he saw the city gate of the capital again two days later, even Old Man Xu couldn't help but sigh. This trip was really fast. If you take the land and carriage, you can see much more scenery along the way than on the boat. There are many places to stop and stop. There are many places where you can experience things that you can’t get by boat.

The most important thing is that he doesn't get sick when riding in a carriage or getting sick on a boat, and he even drinks the medicine prepared by his granddaughter.

Therefore, Old Man Xu decided right away that he would definitely take the land route next time he returns to Yiyang Mansion. Ten days would be enough. How convenient would this be?

A mighty convoy entered the capital. The defenders at the emperor's feet did not squint their eyes and were not surprised at all. In the past few days, there have been countless large convoys coming in and out. This one is not too many and does not attract attention. Attractive.

All the way into the city gate, Zhou Wuhua and the others, who were visiting Beijing for the first time, lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. They only saw the crowds of people outside and the bustling streets, and their eyes were full of amazement.

"Wow, this is the capital city? It's so beautiful! It's so lively."

Seeing the expressions of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but smile. She thought that when she came to Beijing for the first time, she was even more of a country bumpkin than them. She couldn't even close her mouth and couldn't see it.

Even though she was dazzled by the bustling city when she entered Beijing again this time, she could calmly say to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter: "Where are we now? When we enter Zhuque Street, Only then do you know what it means to be prosperous and lively!"

Zhou and Wu Ya nodded in the same way, but still couldn't bear to look away from the outside.

When they entered Zhuque Street all the way, as expected, both of them opened their mouths wide and stopped talking because they were too shocked.

God, there are such beautiful pavilions in this world. Is this a place where gods go? (Speaking of the magnificent Denfeng Tower)

But what did mother/milk say?Is this a restaurant?Or is it Yinyin/Fourth Sister’s restaurant?
God!

After looking all the way, this shop belongs to Yinyin/fourth sister, that shop also belongs to Yinyin/fourth sister, and there is this shop, this shop, that shop, and that shop.
Their jaws dropped to the floor and they couldn't pull them back.

Being able to own so many shops in a place like Beijing where land is so valuable, how much money does it cost Yinyin/Fourth Sister!

Maodan mother and son, who were sitting with the luggage in the carriage behind, were looking out all the way after entering the city. When they entered Zhuque Street, looking at the prosperity of the street, Maodan mouth was filled with wonder. They couldn't agree, "Mom, the capital is so beautiful and lively."

Maodan Niang looked away from the streets outside, hiding the longing and reminiscing in her heart, reaching out to touch Maodan's little head, and said: "Do you like it here? We will stay here and never leave again."

"Okay." Mao Dan was excited, but he was still very reserved on his face. It was impressive that he could do this at such a young age.

Maodan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at the street market outside, thinking: Not only do I have to stay here, it should be yours, and Mom will help you find it.

The eldest and second bedrooms of the Xu family do not have houses in Beijing. To be honest, the third and third bedrooms of the Xu family are not separated. It's just that Mr. Xu is enlightened and divides the business money between the public house and the private house for his sons to keep.

Therefore, this carriage naturally leads directly to Zhongyi Bo's Mansion in Lin'anfang.

Although Uncle Zhongyi's mansion can only be entered three times, it can still accommodate these individuals.

As soon as they entered the square, the housekeeper Tian Zhong opened the door and brought all the people to greet him at the door.

When Xu Chunshan and Xu Yinyin got off the carriage, the servants all saluted and said hello.

At that moment, a group of people entered the mansion, saluted, and the servants, including carriages and horses, packed up and sent them to various courtyards.

Old man Xu and Mrs. Xu lived in Rongan Hall last time, and naturally they will do the same this time. Xu Dalang lived in Songtao Courtyard last time, Xu Erlang's family of three also lived in Songlin Courtyard, and Xu Chunlin and Zhou lived in Songbai Courtyard.

As for Wuya and Cheng Hong, they live in Haitang Courtyard.

The other servants had their own places to stay. As for Maodan Niang and her son, Xu Yinyin specifically told Aunt Dou to temporarily place them in a small courtyard in the southwest corner.

Maodan Niang originally thought that she could go into the workshop and settle down, but the princess didn't say anything and let them live in the uncle's house first. She hesitated, thinking that the princess had just come to Beijing and was busy with things and couldn't take care of it. This kind of trouble is normal, so she can just wait. She is not in a hurry for a while, and she will stay in the uncle's house for a few days. Maybe she can also find out some information she wants to know.

After driving for several days, I finally arrived home and felt comfortable. Xu Yinyin first washed her hair and took a bath. After dinner, she made a facial mask to protect her skin. At night, she lay on the big bed On the canopy bed, you can turn over as much as you want. This is much more comfortable than staying in an inn on the road.

I had a beautiful dream, which lasted until dawn. I slept very well that night and woke up feeling refreshed in the morning.

She put on light makeup and a light green cross-collar jacket, and took Xixin with her to Rong'an Hall.

Xi Xin did not follow back to Yiyang Mansion this time. The master and servant were separated for almost half a year. When Xi Xin saw Xu Yinyin yesterday, her eyes were red. Xu Yinyin also smiled when she looked at the taller Xi Xin with red eyes. It doesn’t work.

No, Forsythia took over as the manager of Tinglan Yuan, and Xixin followed her on her trip again.

The little girl raised her chin, her back straight, and she was so happy.

Xu Yinyin just listened to what she said about the past few months, and heard her talk about the Lantern Festival and how Linglong and Aunt Dou took leave and went out to visit the lantern festival. The lantern festival in the capital was very lively.Xu Yinyin responded with a smile. She would be able to watch the lantern festival in Beijing on August [-]th and next year's Lantern Festival, so she was not in a hurry.

All the way into Rongan Hall, Xu Chunshan, Xu Chunlin and the others were already there.

We had dinner at Rong'an Hall last night, and the same goes for breakfast. Large families have the rule of spending time with their elders in the morning and dusk. They are now the uncle's house, so they can't live without it. They stay in Rong'an Hall to eat in the morning and evening. They are originally We are used to eating together, which is quite harmonious.

While chatting during the meal, Cheng Hong mentioned that he would report to the Imperial College later, and Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang hurriedly answered and asked him to take him there. The two of them were familiar with the capital, and they also knew how the Imperial College got there.

I just happened to go out and look at the house.

When Xu Chunlin heard this, he also said that he would also go and have a look.

Now that we are talking about the house, Old Man Xu is happy to see it happen. "There is no rush to find a house. Take your time. You must find it well. Make sure you find out carefully before you buy it. Don't be deceived." After all, it is a place to live, so of course everything must be suitable.

Cheng Hong thought that if he wanted to study in the Imperial College for at least two years, it would be more convenient to rent a small courtyard in Beijing, so he couldn't help but talk about it.

Xu Yinyin at the female table glanced at Wuhua and immediately said: "It's better not to rent a house, just live in the mansion. Fifth brother-in-law, if you go to the Imperial College, it will be inconvenient for you to come back morning and night." , if you are renting a house and you go to school during the day, there will only be five people at home, so we are worried."

Mrs. Zhou also nodded secretly when she heard this. The capital was so big and they had just arrived. They had no acquaintances. She wouldn't be worried if the couple lived together in another house.

It's better to live with his third uncle first. If they find a house smoothly and move out, then they can let Wanya and his wife live here. It won't be a good idea to bother his third uncle all the time.

When Old Man Xu heard what Xu Yinyin said, he nodded with Cheng Hong and said, "Just live in the house. Don't rent a house. There are so many people in the capital. What if the house you rent is surrounded by chaos? Wuya will be alone by then. We don’t feel at ease at home.”

Xu Chunshan also expressed his intention to let Cheng Hong just live in the house and not see his third uncle outside, right?

Cheng Hong couldn't push it, so he thanked her with great gratitude. He didn't worry that he had gone to the Imperial Academy and his wife was at home alone. Living here, with the princess and the others, she was not alone.

After dinner, Xu Dalang and the four of them got into the carriage and went out together to report to the Imperial College.

After they left the house, Xu Yinyin also led a group of women out of the house.

Zhou and Wuya came to Beijing for the first time, so naturally they had to take them to have a good time. Once they became familiar with each other, they would go out on their own later.

Xu Yinyin took Mrs. Xu and the others just like she did last time. She took them to visit Zhuque Street and Lantern Street, jewelry shops, clothing shops, her own sanitary ware shop, and cosmetics shops. At noon, she went to board the store. Food at Fenglou.

Walking into this fairy-like pavilion, Zhou and Wuya were so amazed, and when they ate the delicious food that looked like fairy dishes, they were filled with emotion again and again.

After dinner, we went to the theater in the afternoon, and after that we went to the Tea Garden for afternoon tea or something.

For three days in a row, Xu Yinyin took them to explore the inner city, and also took them on a carriage ride in the outer city to see where they were. At least they could tell the direction clearly, right?
But the capital city is so big that Zhou and Wuya said they couldn't even figure out the direction of the inner city, let alone the outer city.

Mrs. Xu, Luo Shi and Zhang Xiulan, who have been in the capital for more than half a year, are not to be outdone: they still don't know the direction yet. For example, is Huajue Temple in the East City or the Nancheng?
While Xu Yinyin and the others were having a great time, Xu Chunshan also took Old Man Xu out to play for a day, and then joined Xu Dalang and the others in the team looking for a house. There was nothing wrong with them, so they just went out to play.

The old man from another family was raising flowers and birds and listening to the opera. The old man from the Xu family was wandering around the capital, looking at houses and shops, looking at Balizhuang. What were he going to do? He took a hoe and went to spring plowing!
The reason for this started in September last year. After the Double Ninth Festival, Xu Yinyin became very interested in mountain climbing and took people up to Daqing Mountain every three days.

Then one day I came down the mountain and brought back something I found and brought back from the mountain. This thing was long and round, with golden particles on it. When you pull it, the particles can be pulled out, leaving only There is a white core inside.

Is this thing edible?Should I eat the pellets or the core?
It looks like you should be eating pellets, but the hard ones have no taste when you bite them. How do you eat them?

Xu Yinyin was good at making troubles. She asked people to throw it into the oil pan and then put the lid on it. There was only a crackling sound in the pot. When the lid was lifted again, everyone watching was shocked. Apparently only one bowl was poured in. , with this crackling sound, the pot couldn’t hold it anymore and it jumped out.

When I ate it again, oh, it was crispy, sweet, and not to mention, delicious.

Everyone is curious about what kind of food this is.

Xu Yinyin said: "I don't know what it is. I was looking for something in Daqing Mountain and found it. It looks like a tree, but it's only as tall as a person. It has this stick growing on it and it's wrapped in leaves. I I was curious about it and couldn't help but break it off. When I saw the golden particles inside, they were something we had never seen before. They were just like the potatoes I found before. I thought they must be edible. No, just break them all back.

Sure enough, this thing is really edible!I think if you can eat it, you can plant it. Dad, you can think about it more later. When spring comes next year, we can plant it and give it a try! "

No, Xu Chunshan, who had been "pondering" for a long time, felt that there was a way to do it. He thought that his daughter had [-] acres of land in Balizhuang, so it didn't matter if he gave one or two acres to try.

Old Man Xu was also really curious about how to grow this thing. Anyway, it was idle time. Before this thing was planted, it was better for his family to do it.

Everyone here is busy starting spring plowing, so let’s give it a try!

The spring breeze in February is like scissors, and all kinds of flowers are vying to bloom. In Beijing, various banquets this year have become lively again.

There are peach blossom banquets, cherry blossom banquets, and spring banquets. The female relatives of each family rely on those who hold banquets for daily communication. In short, all year round, except for the first month, there are all kinds of banquets.

Last year, the Lord of Jiacheng County was granted the title of princess, but Xu Yinyin had returned to Yiyang Mansion at that time, and everyone who wanted to congratulate her and make friends was beyond their reach.

No, the news that Princess Jiacheng finally returned to Beijing spread that day. Invitations for various banquets were sent to Uncle Zhongyi's house in an overwhelming number, and Xu Yinyin was reluctant to accept the invitations.

It's not enough to just go to the banquet. Uncle Zhongyi's house also has to hold a banquet. It's just right to let Zhou's Wuya and the others feel what a banquet is like.

Xu Yinyin was sure to hold a banquet. Aunt Dou, the steward of the inner courtyard, and Tian Zhong, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, immediately met to discuss and organize the meeting. With the above sentence, everyone below was busy breaking their legs. The uncle's house was hosting a banquet, so nothing could go wrong. It's just a little wrong. Otherwise, it would make people look down on the uncle's house, wouldn't it?
Fortunately, whether it was Aunt Dou or Butler Tian, ​​they were all responsible stewards in the past. They were often in charge of this banquet. They didn't need anyone to teach them what to do and how to do it best.

Xu Yinyin didn't have to worry about anything else. She only had to set a date for the banquet and prepare invitations to send to the people who wanted to invite them.

Others are not listed one by one, and everything that needs to be given must be given away. As for Pingyuanhou Mansion, Xu Yinyin specially posted two more posts, and gave one to the eldest lady of Pingyuanhou Mansion.
