At noon, the convoy stopped at a roadside store for dinner.
Su Wan followed Li Lin for three months and got used to riding in a carriage. Especially Li Lin's carriage, which was different from ordinary carriages. There were few bumps, so he didn't feel tired, but he was in a bad mood. Okay, a little bit sleepy.
Xiao Sang asked Mrs. Gao to borrow the store's kitchen and made her a bowl of wontons. Although they used clear soup, the taste was pretty good. Su Wan ate a bowl and felt much better.
Good food makes you feel good.
We continued our journey in the afternoon, stayed overnight in a small town in the evening, and set off again early the next morning. By noon the next day, the carriage had already entered the gate of Guiyan City.
Guiyan City belongs to Lanzhou. Although it is not the state capital, it is one of the famous big cities in Lanzhou. Although it is not as prosperous as the Imperial City, it is also one of the ancient cities that has experienced hundreds of years of wind and frost, and its economic prosperity is not low.
The carriage entered Guiyan City and found a place to park. Then the group found a restaurant to have dinner. After the meal, they could rest for a while before heading to the village.
Yue Zhen and Su Jian took people to stroll around the streets of Guiyan City. They saw that there were many shops along the street, and there was a dazzling array of products. Everything that was available in the Imperial City was also available here.
The two walked for half an hour and felt that it was pretty good. If Su Wan wanted to buy something, there wouldn't be any place to buy it.
Su Jian said: "When the time comes, you can let Sixth Sister prepare a few shops here and take care of them in your spare time. You can also make some income."
How could Yue Zhen, a rich man from a military general's family, know this? Hearing this, he scratched his head and said, "It's okay if you think it's okay."
Su Jian said: "Then let's come over another day and have a look. Before we went out, my grandmother gave me five thousand taels of silver and said she wanted to see if I could buy a shop for my sixth sister. My third uncle gave me three thousand taels. My wife and I Gave one thousand.”
"I don't know what the prices are like in the shops here in Guiyan City?"
Yue Zhen hummed, and then said: "My grandmother gave me the banknote and asked me to give it to my cousin and let her handle it by herself."
He grabbed a handful of hair irritably: "Since you are so capable, I will leave the banknote to you."
Su Jian was stunned and turned to look at him stiffly: "It's only natural for you to wave away."
The Jinning Duke's Mansion is planning to prepare two or three shops for Su Wan. She is close to here and can take care of them.
She had returned all the dowry she had given her on the grounds that it was not easy to manage. Although she had given money, the shop in the Imperial City was like a hen that laid golden eggs. After all, the family took advantage.
As for the Zhenguo Government, they also felt that they were taking advantage. However, the Zhenguo Government knew Li Lin's identity, and now they didn't know what Su Wan's plan was, so they planned to give the money directly, even if it was enough. Ten thousand taels.
Yue Zhen looked matter-of-fact, and he reached out and patted Su Jian's shoulder: "Brother, I don't understand this. It's all for my cousin, so you should work harder, right? Don't we all wish her a happy life?" It’s better.”
Su Jian's face twisted and he could only hold his nose and admit it.
The two of them saw that the time had passed for a while, then stopped looking. They turned back to the place where the carriage was placed, and waited until everyone was there before continuing to Shiqiao Village.
After leaving Guiyan City, the road outside was a little smaller than the previous official road, but it could still accommodate two carriages walking side by side. The road was relatively smooth, unlike the bumpy road to a small rural village.
Li Lin and Yue Zhensu Jian rode together and explained: "The villagers in the village have planted many fruit trees. The fruits that were sent to your house were all picked from there. There are many kinds of fruits. It is available all year round, and people from Guiyan City often send people here to buy seasonal fruits, so the road is wide and flat."
Even a small road becomes a big road when people walk on it too many times. No matter how uneven the road is, it will naturally become smooth when more people walk on it. Even if there are uneven roads, they should have been repaired long ago. What needs to be bulldozed is bulldozed, and what needs to be filled needs to be filled.
Su Jian said with satisfaction: "This is not bad. If you want to go to Guiyan City for a walk in the future, it will be more convenient."
Yue Zhen chuckled: "Speaking of which, the fruit you sent us earlier is really delicious. You can't eat it anywhere else."
Li Lindao: "It's a variety that my father used to search for. It took a lot of effort to plant it. Even if I want to plant it elsewhere, I can't grow it well."
Su Jian thought of the key: "How can we keep it?"
Li Lindao: "There is a Shiqiao Academy not far from the village. Most of the people in the academy are people from around Shiqiao Village. There are also many people who have left Shiqiao Village in recent years. People here in Shiqiao Village are also Not someone to be bullied.”
The people of Shiqiao Village may occasionally have a little friction, but if anyone dares to bully their people, they will unite and be very fierce and not easy to bully.
The people in Shiqiao Village are rich and have always done a good job in teaching young children. Some people have passed the imperial examination and become officials, and some have gone out to do business. There are quite a few people in Shiqiao Village. In addition, these people are very united. Even if people are thoughtful, they don't dare to act rashly.
After all, there have been many examples of people who suffered losses before.
Su Jian nodded when he heard the words: "In this case, it's not bad. From what you said, this place is really a good place for self-cultivation with beautiful scenery."
"It's really good. If you two like it, you can stay here for a while."
Li Lin thought to himself that although there would occasionally be some trivial things in life, they were not big things. Compared to the turmoil of the Imperial City, this was a good place to be secluded and stable.
Su Jian shook his head: "I will attend the Spring Festival next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long."
Yue Zhen also shook his head: "Father also arranged for me to train, and I can't keep you. Speaking of which, I'm quite envious of you. You have such green mountains and green waters, so leisurely and unrestrained."
Li Lin smiled: "The future is more important, so you can stay here for a few days and then go back. I won't keep you here."
It only took an hour from Guiyan City to Shiqiao Village. Soon we arrived at the entrance of the village. Looking up, we saw the numerous fruits on the trees far and near, as well as the village hidden among the mountains, forests and rivers.
It is only September now, and the autumn mood is gradually dyeing the mountains and forests, covering them with a layer of orange. Although it is not much, it is distinct.
When walking on the road, you can still smell the fruity fragrance of the fruits on the trees and hear the sound of the flowing water in the river.
Su Jian took a deep breath and felt that the altar was clear: "It is indeed a good place."
Yue Zhen didn't understand this, but he thought it was good to live here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city: "Well, it's a good place."
While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a girl running out from the entrance of the village, followed by several people. The girl ran over, and when she saw the person, her eyes lit up.
"Cousin, are you back?!"
"Cousin, please help me! My father is going to beat me to death!"
