Wearing back to ancient times is good for old age

Compared with the wedding of Mrs. Gao's daughter, when Mu Qing came back and told Feng Ye, he also felt that he was a real person, and how serious things would become irrelevant jokes in the end .

Five days before the wedding, the second sister-in-law of senior high school came to Feng Ye's house to pick up the fifteen roosters that had been ordered. Because most of them were pheasants, Feng Ye only charged five cents per catty, which was more expensive than what is currently sold in the city. Almost half the price.However, those pheasants were fattened up by Feng Ye's daily feeding with corn and rice bran. On average, each one weighed nearly four catties, and a dozen or so chickens was a small fortune.

The wedding banquet started from the evening before the auspicious day, and Feng Ye received invitations from both men and women, one side was his clan, the other side was his good friends, Feng Ye didn't like to favor one over the other, so he decided that the banquets on both sides would be his Both go.

Xiao Yuanhe said with a smile that he was at a disadvantage and had to prepare two gift money.

The gifts Feng Ye gave to both sides were the same, a few feet of cloth, ten Wenlishi (red envelopes), and five catties of rice were already a lot here.

On the first day of the banquet, Feng Ye sent gifts to the two families, and for the wine, he first went to the house of the second sister-in-law in high school. On the auspicious day, he also had breakfast and lunch at the woman's house. In the afternoon, he went out with the woman to help carry the dowry. I went to the man's house, and ate at the man's house in the evening and in the morning and lunch of the next day.

After drinking the wedding wine, Feng Ye's house had a lot of pork meat, because both parties in this wedding killed a big fat pig, and they made a lot of pork meat, all the meat at the banquet on the wedding day was packed by the guests.

The custom here is that there are eight people at a standard table, and each person can get two pieces of meat. Four people went to Feng Ye's house, and the meat they packed after three meals a day was enough for them to eat for several days.

After the banquet, Feng Ye's life returned to calm again, the weather gradually became colder, and began to drizzle from time to time, everyone began to reduce outdoor activities.

The weather was cold, so Mu Qing was given the job of grinding soymilk at home. Feng Ye slept in late every day until it was high in the sun (even when there was no sun). He often ate breakfast and lunch together.

He is now like a rich landlord, he stays at home every day, gossiping with his family members, cooking delicious food, watching Mu Qing and Xiao Yuanhe teach Xiao Xinger how to read and read, listening to Xiao Yuanhe and Mu Qing telling legendary stories, giving him Little Xing'er told fairy tales and fables, and lived a happy life like a fairy.

When the days entered December, Xiao Yuanhe received a letter from the capital.

The letter was written by Mrs. Xiao. In the letter, it was said that Xiao Yuanhe's sister-in-law was pregnant with a child. The Xiao couple decided not to go out for the time being and concentrate on waiting at home for the birth of their first grandson. In the letter, Mrs. Xiao strongly invited Feng Ye to bring her family Went to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and described the bustle and bustle of the capital and the delicious food in a big way, which made Feng Ye laugh even reading the letter.

The letter also said that some of Xiao Yuanhe's frequently used items had been entrusted to Chint Bank's Anzhou City branch, and asked them to pick them up whenever they were free, and Xiao Yuanhe's elder brother and sister-in-law were also delivered Gifts for Feng Ye and the seeds of various fruit trees, famous flowers and special products of the capital collected by Feng Ye.Mrs. Xiao joked that it was part of the dowry that Xiao Yuanhe allocated to Feng Ye. When Feng Ye saw this, he couldn't help laughing, but Xiao Yuanhe gritted his teeth and greeted his old lady.

After receiving the letter, Feng Ye was very excited for several days. He has been in this time and space for so long, and he has never been to a place farther than Wuxian County. It is a rare trip to go to the state capital of Anzhou. It is an opportunity to go sightseeing and investigate the living conditions of people in ancient cities.

Moreover, he missed this opportunity. As a farmer in the countryside, he doesn't know when he will have the opportunity to play. It is considered free all year round. With his character, he is unwilling to travel far for no reason.So, while I was free, Maodong was bored, and it was not bad to go for a walk.

Xing'er was also very excited. Ever since he received Trade Wind Ye felt that he was going to Anzhou City, he thought about letting Feng Ye take him to play with him every day, but Feng Ye was afraid that such a young child would travel far in such a cold weather. He gets sick easily, and although he wanted to bring him along to make him happy, he didn't let go in the end.

Feng Ye still remembers when he first met Mu Qing and Xing'er, the child was so pitiful and pitiful that his eyes were big and thin. When I came back from a trip, I was sick and thin, and I couldn't make people feel distressed to death.

The child was rejected, the initial excitement turned into frustration and sadness, the little face drooped, reading and eating was boring, Feng Ye took him to bed at night before leaving (Xing Xing'er has always been able to sleep with Feng Ye One of my favorite things), told him more stories, and promised a number of benefits, only to make him happy.

So, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, after Feng Ye tidied up, he and Xiao Yuanhe embarked on the journey to Anzhou.

The author has something to say: I really don’t know how to adjust the line spacing and word spacing in this article. The code is useless, so please bear with me when you read it.The last chapter was really messed up by me, with tears in my eyes...

56 journey

Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe took the land route to Anzhou, although the detour was a bit farther, it was safer than the water route.

Because if you go by water, you have to take a small boat to Qingzhuang County in Wuxian County, and then you can go to Anzhou directly by a big boat. I heard that the river from Wuxian County to Anzhou has to pass through many fast-flowing canyons, and from Qingzhuang County The section of the river from the county to Anzhou has many submerged reefs, which has always been a frequent area for boating accidents.

Feng Ye didn't forget that his parents told him that they were in this section of the river. Although Xiao Yuanhe has martial arts skills, who knows what emergencies will happen at that time, and the dangers that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible. .What's more, the official road from Wu County to Anzhou Prefecture is said to be quite easy, safe, and there are many villages along the way.

Since the weather is cold now and it will rain from time to time, it is also very hard to drive and walk. When Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe arrived in the county, they hired an experienced handlebar to drive the car, so that the two of them would not have to be too tired.

On the day they left, the weather was not bad, it was overcast, there was no rain, and the north wind was cold. Xiao Yuanhe drove from Dieshan Village to Wu County, but his hands were numb from the cold. When he arrived in Wu County, there was a handlebar to drive the car outside. , He got into the carriage and warmed up around the stove in the windy night.

The carriage of the carriage was modified by carpenter Zhang. A low couch was installed near the rear of the carriage, with a thick mattress and a quilt on it. Feng Ye was currently sitting on the couch with his arms around the quilt.

A small stove was placed in front of the low couch, and the red charcoal fire was burning inside, making the carriage warm.On both sides of the carriage are benches as high as low couches, also covered with thick mattresses.

Xiao Yuanhe was originally sitting on the bench, seeing Feng Ye's little head getting drowsy little by little, he turned on the charcoal fire in the stove, added a few pieces of charcoal, then sat down on the low couch with a short body, hugging Feng Ye let him lean on his shoulder.

Feng Ye got up too early today, and now he was staggering in the car, and the sleepy bug came, he glanced at Xiao Yuanhe in a daze, and muttered, "You can also sit in it".

Xiao Yuanhe rubbed his hair with a smile, surrounded him with a quilt, hugged him into his arms, rested his small head on his shoulder blades, kissed his forehead, and said softly: "Sleep, I will wait until mealtime." Call you."

"En." After a while, Feng Ye hummed lightly.

Xiao Yuanhe looked at half of his face buried in the quilt, his cheeks were red, his eyes were closed, and a circle of slightly raised eyelashes moved with his breathing, just like the little star in the past, very cute and cute.

This villain is my beloved baby, an ordinary and simple child, but hides a delicate heart inside, sincere but not ignorant, smart but not sophisticated, well-behaved but not cunning, like a pure and charming kitten , unconsciously seduced, and subtly let myself like it step by step, fall in love step by step.

The chin gently stroked the hair of the man in his arms. In the future, they will be together for a long time, and I will love him more and more day by day. The two will love each other until the day they grow old.

The charcoal fire in the stove was burning warmly, the atmosphere in the carriage was quiet and warm, a few wisps of wind lifted the door curtain, Xiao Yuanhe saw a pink flower on the side of the road blooming against the wind, he smiled silently, and immediately I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

When Feng Ye woke up, he found himself lying on Xiao Yuanhe's chest with slightly disheveled hair, and when he raised his head, he met Xiao Yuanhe's smiling gaze.

"woke up?"

"Hmm. Where are you?"

Xiao Yuanhe combed his hair, tucked in the quilt, and lifted the corner of the curtain, "I have already passed Qingzhuang, and I will soon arrive in Huai'an County. When I get there, I will go to the city to rest and have lunch. Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, it's just that the buttocks are numb." Feng Ye couldn't help but move his legs, feet and buttocks. Although the mattress was thick enough, it still felt numb after sitting for a long time.

"Hehe, is that right? Come on, let me rub it for you."

"I don't need you, I'll do it myself." This guy obviously had malicious intentions, Feng Ye glared at him, stretched his hands and feet under the quilt, and pinched his buttocks.

"Here, eat some dried fruit to pad your stomach, you didn't have a good breakfast in the morning."

Xiao Yuanhe took out a pack of sweet plums from the drawer under the low couch, put one on Feng Ye's lips, Feng Ye opened his mouth to swallow it, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

The handlebars hummed a little tune in a good mood outside, and the sound of horseshoes kicking and stamping accompanied him like drums.

Feng Ye raised the small curtain on one side and looked outside. The car was driving in the field. There were large fields of harvested crops on the side of the wide dirt road. In the distance were small hills and open grasslands. A house like a small box.The main road stretched far away, with no end in sight, and they were the only car on the road, quiet and empty.

It was still a gloomy sky in the morning, but now a sliver of sunlight leaked from the clouds, shining on the earth with a touch of warmth, making the mood of the travelers a lot higher.

After another half an hour or so, people's voices were gradually heard outside the car, and after walking for about a stick of incense, we arrived at Huai'an County.

Xiao Yuanhe had already greeted the handlebars and asked him to drive directly into the city for lunch.

Feng Ye lifted the curtains and looked outside, the street was very bustling with people carrying loads, baskets on their backs, and baskets walking back and forth on the street.The streets, shops, pedestrians, hawkers, and goods are all similar to Wu County, but here is more lively and prosperous than Wu County.

The carriage stopped outside a restaurant, "Masters, we're here."

When the two got off the carriage, the witty Xiaoer came out to greet him and showed him where to park. Feng Ye looked up and saw the big golden signboard of "Grand Hyatt Restaurant".

Xiao Yuanhe gave the handlebar some money and asked him to eat by himself, and then told Xiao Er to let someone feed the horses, and took Feng Ye up to the second floor.

The two sat down at an empty table and ordered food and soup.

It was lunch time now, there were a lot of guests upstairs, and there was a lively street downstairs, so there was a lot of noise in my ears.

While Feng Ye was looking around under the window, the food came quickly.

The two of them ate, rested for a while, and then went downstairs. When they checked out and went out, the uncle with the handlebars had already driven the carriage to the door. Xiao Yuanhe let Feng Ye get into the carriage first, and he went straight to the pastry shop next door to buy some Pack snacks.

"I just had a full meal, why do I need to buy some snacks?"

Xiao Yuanhe smiled, and opened the paper bag, "Plum Blossom Roast, Silver Osmanthus Crisp, and Coconut Snacks are famous dim sum in Huai'an, try them!"

On the paper package are pastries in three colors: pink, bright yellow, and white. The pink ones are made into small plum blossom shapes, and the bright yellow ones are in the shape of small squares. The color is very delicate and lovely. The coconut corners are made into mini triangles. The shape of the rice dumpling is covered with thin white frosting.

Even if he just had a full meal, when Feng Ye saw such a cute dessert, the glutton in his stomach immediately exploded. He picked up a small piece of bright yellow silver cinnamon cake, which melted as soon as he put it in his mouth before chewing. , delicate and soft as its name, there is also a fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.I picked another plum blossom, which was pink and soft as soon as it was put into the mouth, but there was a little bit of stickiness in the softness. After eating it, there was a cold and delicate taste of plum blossom between the lips and teeth.

With those two delicious flavors, Feng Ye pinched a corner of coconut paste and took a bite. The thin and soft skin should be filled with lotus paste, but it is not as sweet and greasy as lotus paste, and it tastes delicious There is an ice-cold sweetness, and there seems to be a hint of alcohol after careful tasting. The white layer on the outside is actually finely ground coconut flakes.

It's delicious!It seems that famous things always have a certain level. I don’t know how long this snack can be kept. When I go back, I must buy more and let them taste it. It’s so delicious. Don't forget to feed Xiao Yuanhe a piece.

After a while, the two of them ate up a pack of snacks.

Feng Ye rubbed his stomach, he was really full!

"Hehe, there are more delicious ones in Anzhou. It depends on how much your stomach can hold."

Hmph, greedy me!

Feng Ye rubbed his belly, took off his shoes and climbed onto the low couch.

Xiao Yuanhe consciously moved over to let Feng Ye lean on him, and helped him wrap up the quilt, "Do you want to sleep? It's about two hours away from Anzhou, and you can still sleep. I'll take you there tonight interesting place."

Fun?Where?Feng Ye turned his head and looked at him with shining eyes.

"You'll know when the time comes, it's fun to be mysterious."

Cut, tantalizing!

Feng Ye covered his mouth and yawned, the carriage was warm, he was full and sleepy, he rubbed his cheek against Xiao Yuanhe, closed his eyes and went to Zhou Gong.

After coming out of Huai'an County, the official road is full of small and large villages along the way, and there are many caravans and caravans on the road. The old Liu with the handlebars greets the passers-by from time to time, and later encounters a similar caravan It was a carriage to Anzhou City, so Lao Liu and the coachman drove side by side, chatting along the way.

The journey with people talking always feels that time passes faster. Lao Liu and his coachman Lao Qiu Kan Dashan are working hard, and the tall Anzhou City Gate will arrive.

"Master, we're at the gate of Anzhou City!" Lao Liu turned around and shouted into the carriage.

"Well, I got it, I'll go directly to the Fulai Inn on Chengnan Street later." Xiao Yuanhe's deep voice came out.

"Hey, I see!"

After entering the city, the noisy noise from the street rushed in from outside the car, Feng Ye asked with blurred eyes: "Are you there? Why is it so noisy?!"

"Hehe...here we are, get up quickly, we will arrive at the inn where we are staying in a while.

"Oh." Feng Ye got out of the quilt in a daze, Xiao Yuanhe put on his shoes with a smile, straightened his hair and clothes, and rubbed Feng Ye's arms and legs with his hands.

After being waited on by him, Feng Ye finally woke up a little bit. Hearing the excitement outside the car, he opened the curtains and looked out.

The spacious street is at least twice that of Wuxian County. There are a variety of shops and stalls on both sides of the street. Pedestrians are crowded with each other, and the noise is very festive and lively.Everyone is wearing long gowns and gowns, and the colors and styles are also very beautiful. It is incomparable with the short and bulky cotton-padded trousers, turbans and calves in Wu County.

After the carriage traveled for a while, there were a little less pedestrians on the street, and there were fewer various stalls and small stalls on the street, and the shops looked upscale and tidy.After walking for a while, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

When Xiao Yuanhe supported Feng Ye to get out of the car, he saw that the carriage that was traveling with them on the road also stopped at the entrance of the inn. The door opened and a tall young man stepped out from inside.

"Hey, old Liu, I met you again!" the old Qiu driver said happily.

"Hehe...isn't it? It's really destined, are you free? Let's wait and have a drink?"

"Okay!"

The two coachmen have already met for a fellowship.

Xiao Yuanhe looked at the young master, who happened to be looking at him too, he nodded his head slightly, and helped Feng Ye, who was still not very sober, into the inn.

57 Anzhou (on)

It is said that Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe arrived in Anzhou City and stayed at the Fulai Inn where Xiao Yuanhe used to stay when he came to play in the past. The two ordered Xiaoer to call for hot water and took a comfortable bath. The time has just passed Shen Shi first moment.

"Hey, Xiao Yuanhe, let's go out to play later, shall we?" Feng Ye sat on the bed wearing a white undershirt, opened a pair of bright eyes and smiled, looking at Xiao Yuanhe who was wiping his hair with a dry cloth .

"Well, okay, it's still early, we'll go out for a walk later, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry!" Seeing that he agreed, Feng Ye hurriedly got up and found clothes from the bag, put them on, and quickly dressed neatly.

Seeing his eagerness, Xiao Yuanhe quickly changed his clothes and tied his hair, took a comb to comb Feng Ye's hair, and took out a white jade hairpin from his sleeve to tie it.

"Huh? Where did you get the hairpin? It's pretty. How much did it cost? Did you give it to me?"

Xiao Yuanhe stretched out his fingers and flicked his crooked forehead, "So many questions! I bought them earlier. I didn't give them to you because you didn't pay much attention to these things. Now they just come in handy. Okay. Come on, let's go down, don't we want to go shopping?"

The two went downstairs hand in hand and walked out of the inn.

Next to the inn are restaurants and teahouses. The spacious facade is very magnificently decorated. Opposite is also an inn. There are not restaurants and restaurants, but high-end theaters and teahouses, and various shops for eating, clothing and utensils.

The street is full of people coming and going, the straight and spacious avenue runs through a piece of building pavements, and the end is endless at a glance. The pedestrians and horses are bustling, and the faint sunlight slantly shines on the neat and elegant buildings, showing a bustling and noisy world. The taste makes people feel very happy when they look at it.

Feng Ye grabbed one of Xiao Yuanhe's sleeves, glanced at both ends of the street in front of him, chose a random side, and set off.

Not far away is a large-scale dried fruit snack shop, and the unique aroma of desserts is constantly wafting out of the shop.

Feng Ye thought of the delicious food in Anzhou that Xiao Yuanhe said, and thought about the snacks he ate on the road, so he looked at him excitedly.

Seeing his familiar gluttonous eyes, Xiao Yuanhe pulled him into the shop amusedly.

There are quite a few customers at the counter inside, all picking and buying their favorite things, and a few guys are busy greeting them.

Feng Ye took a look at the counter. There are not only all kinds of snacks and pastries, but also many dried fruits, candied fruits, raw fruits, and... drinks?

Feng Ye stared at the things contained in exquisite porcelain cups, porcelain pots and iron buckets, feeling very curious.

"Shopkeeper, what are these?" Feng Ye searched around but couldn't find any free guy, so he asked a middle-aged man behind the counter with an abacus.

"Oh, those are all dairy desserts. The one in the small cup is ice crystal snow jelly, which is made of soy milk and milk, with various nuts added. There are more than ten flavors, both hot and cold; the porcelain The pot is filled with milk tea, which is modeled after the butter tea of ​​the herdsmen in the Northwest, and the iron barrel contains hot soybean milk. If guests want to drink, they can bring something back with them, or they can eat it in the store, and there are private seats upstairs.”

Huh?Unexpectedly, this ancient cake shop has the same function as a modern cake shop. Not only can it be packed, but also sit down and enjoy it slowly. The snowflake jelly looks similar to the modern double-skin milk and tortoise jelly in Guangdong and Guangxi. , Milk tea, isn’t it just milk tea!

Gotta taste what it tastes like!

Feng Ye ordered a snowflake jelly and a milk tea each, but Xiao Yuanhe didn't eat it, so he picked a few more delicious-looking snacks and went upstairs.Sure enough, there were several tables on the upper floor, and people were already sitting on the middle tables; the side of the floor near the window was surrounded by bamboo curtains to form small accordions, and only the one at the far end was empty.

Feng Ye pulled Xiao Yuanhe and walked into the Accord, opened the window of the Accord, and he could see the lively street scene below.

In the Accord next to them, there seemed to be a group of young people talking about the Nanyuan Lantern Festival, and Feng Ye listened for a long time before he realized that there was a Lantern Festival in the South Garden tomorrow night, and there would be a trial at that time. Lantern Festival.The people next to them seemed to be some scholars, and they began to chant poems as they talked. Feng Ye heard those sour poems being praised by each of them, curled his lips and turned his attention back to the food.

The snowflake jelly looks crystal clear and very beautiful, and it tastes almost the same as double-skin milk. The taste of milk tea is a bit special, not like modern milk tea, nor like butter tea, but like a combination of milk tea, butter tea and ginger The taste of the three milks is the same, which is a bit weird.

The cakes were not as delicious as those bought in Huai'an, no wonder Xiao Yuanhe didn't want to eat them, he must have known that they were not tasty, Feng Ye thought angrily.

Xiao Yuanhe seemed to know what Feng Ye was thinking, he hehe laughed twice, stroked his hair and coaxed: "Scholarly Family, this restaurant's snowflake jelly is also very famous in Anzhou, and the dim sum is also considered good, but It’s not the best one yet, you just have to taste it, if you still want to eat it, I’ll take you to find the best one later.”

"Don't eat dim sum, I can have dinner in a while, I want to eat that seafood feast you mentioned!"

Anzhou is close to the river, and there are many large wharfs. There are many merchant ships and sea ships, and there are naturally a lot of seafood.

"Okay! Let's go shopping then."

The two walked out of the dim sum shop and strolled along this street. Bookshops, wineries, silk and satin shops, jewelry, calligraphy and painting shops, doll shops, four treasures of study warehouses, embroidery shops, jade shops... Xiao Yuanhe said that this area in the south of the city is full of It is a high-end commercial street, and the area near the west of the city is a high-end residential area for the rich. The South Garden that the scholars mentioned just now is the garden built by wealthy businessmen in Anzhou at the southern border of the west city.The particularly noisy area near the city gate is a mixed commercial and residential area for civilians, while most of the north of the city are workshops, large trading houses and warehouses.

The streets and streets in Anzhou City are distributed in a network shape, with well-shaped main roads intersecting vertically and horizontally, and there are many small alleys among them. The overall planning is very rigorous and neat, and it can be seen that the designers of this city are very level.

Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe walked around leisurely, and before they knew it, the sky darkened, and the lights on the street slowly went up, and when they sat in a restaurant and looked down from the window, the whole street There is a warm light in the place that is still open, and several shops are closed in the small street in the opposite alley. The road is dark and there are no lights. It makes people feel desolate in the cold wind.

The restaurant they are sitting in now is called "Linxianju". The seafood banquet prepared by this restaurant in Anzhou is also famous.

Baked lobster with drum pepper, stewed oysters, steamed fish slices in lotus leaf, stewed fish belly with ginger and scallions, emerald mussels, fried conch, treasure feast in the sea, crab climbing the nine-story tower, tiger head and crab roe porridge... Feng Yeguang's mouth waters when he hears the name It was overwhelming, but the two of us couldn't eat that much, so we could only order a few special classics recommended by the second child.

After one meal, Feng Ye's stomach was bulging but he still stared straight at the dishes on other people's tables, secretly decided in his heart that he must come here for three meals a day tomorrow, and take the delicious food Eat them all in turn.

Alas, it's good that Xiao Yuanhe is here, otherwise with his family property, he wouldn't dare to eat seafood feast three times a day, no matter what era money is a good thing.

While they were feasting, more and more people came to eat in the restaurant. When they finished eating, Feng Ye looked around: the whole floor was full.They sat on the second floor, and when they got down to the lobby on the first floor, there were even more people below, and there were even people standing at the door waiting for their seats.

It's so popular, I don't know how much their restaurant's profit is in a day. When Feng Ye went out, he looked at the big "Linxianju" plaque at the door. A meal here would cost at least three or four years of money for a country family. , or even more, is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. From the scene here, it can be seen that Anzhou people are not ordinary rich, and the class gap and wealth gap in this society are not ordinary.

Putting aside those annoying thoughts, Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe walked back slowly along the street. They were too full and their stomachs were heavy. Walking on the street, many shops were already closed, but when they returned to the inn On the street where he was, the brilliant lights still took him by surprise.

The whole street here is brightly lit, besides the orange red in the concept of Feng Ye, there are also gold, green, blue, pink and purple lanterns beside the entrance. It is really beautiful at first glance!

There were also colorful lanterns hanging on the carriages parked at the entrances of several inns and restaurants. It made Feng Ye want to imitate the ladies and parade through the streets in BMW chariots.

"From this street all the way up to the corner is the South Garden where the Lantern Festival will be held tomorrow night, hey! It is the place where the lights are particularly bright in the distance. This garden was built by Zhou Qing'an, an Anzhou gentry, and the pavilions in the garden are exquisite. , planted with hundreds of flowers, especially plum trees, Anzhou Prefecture's grand events are held in this garden." As they walked back to the inn, Xiao Yuanhe explained to him.

"That Zhou Qing'an was a Jinshi. The official was once a fourth-rank inspector. His two sons are business geniuses. During his official career, he was just a small warehouse owner in Anzhou. After Zhou Qing'an resigned this week, nine years The business under the two brothers has reached seven states in the south, and they have powerful people."

No wonder people in Anzhou want to curry favor with his family, and even hold any grand events in his garden!

"From this street, the Anzhou night market is at the junction with the east of the city. It is open every two days. There are many foreign people who bring things to sell. You may find good things that you can't usually buy in the night market. something!"

"Really? Then let's go tomorrow too! Isn't tomorrow the eighth day of the lunar new year!"

"Well, you can go if you want. Well, if you're tired from walking, lie down for a while! I'll take you to another place later."

"Yeah." Feng Ye took off his coat and shoes, crawled tremblingly into the bed, rubbed his stomach gently with his hands, it was really uncomfortable to eat too much, it seems that he is just a bumpkin, ignorantly patronizing to fill his stomach Yes, alas!

58 Anju

Guess where Xiao Yuanhe took him?It turned out to be a casino!

Feng Ye stood at the entrance of the gambling house, looking at the flashing gold sign above his head that said "Lucky Tathagata", and listening to the faint glow of boiling light coming from inside, and the glowing red lights leaking from the crack in the door.Before Feng Ye entered, the scene of gamblers shouting loudly with red eyes, fighting and killing people in the TV series was automatically playing in his mind.

"What are you doing in a daze? Follow up quickly! If you lose your time, you will be sold to sell it as gambling money!" Xiao Yuanhe turned back and took Feng Ye's hand, joking with a smile.

"You have just been sold! Why are you here? You have no money to spend, do you want to get rich?"

"Haha...Feng Ye is so cute! I want to get rich, come on, I'll show you how to get rich."

Feng Ye was dragged into the house by him. It wasn't a casino, it should be a lounge and reception room. There were several rows of long benches inside. More than a dozen men with swords and fierce faces were sitting or standing on the ground. Two or three braziers were burning.

Xiao Yuanhe whispered a few words to the well-behaved person inside, and the person led them out through a side door, turned around a corridor, and entered a tea room, where a few boys were busy making tea pour water.Entering here, the various voices of those gambling people can be heard more clearly, Feng Ye glanced at the curtain that the boy opened, and saw that the big room outside was the casino, and many people gathered in a pile After all, Feng Ye also saw the women in flirtatious and revealing clothes shuttle among the gamblers.

They went up the stairs on one side of the tea room, and arrived at a lounge, where there were also some strong men, and a man in charge was sitting at a small table drinking tea. Seeing Xiao Yuanhe and Feng Ye coming up, they were taken aback for a moment and then laughed He rushed over: "Yo! Master is here! Sit down!"

"Well, no need, I'll go upstairs and sit for a while, nothing else, you can do your work."

"Yes! Xiao Wang, take the master to the elegant room in the east wing on the third floor!" The steward took out a key from his waist and pointed at a burly man with a swollen face.

Master?

Feng Ye followed the strong man, turned his head to look at Xiao Yuanhe, doubts flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yuanhe held his hand and smiled at him.

"Master, if you have any orders, please pull the rope at the door, and your subordinates will come right away." Upstairs, the strong man opened the door of a room, went in first and lit a candle before turning sideways to invite them in.

"Yes, I got it." Xiao Yuanhe dragged Feng Ye in, and the strong man closed the door for them.

When I came up just now, I saw that the third floor was designed as individual rooms, a bit like an inn. When I entered the room, the interior was unexpectedly luxuriously furnished.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a group of round tables and stools covered with purple tablecloths and covered with cushions of the same color.On the left side of the entrance is a group of large dark red tables, on which there are some pen holders, paper, inkstone, etc., and on the wall behind the tables is a huge ink painting of galloping horses.In the corner near the door beside the table is a floor-to-ceiling wide-mouthed vase, with some scrolls placed in a mess. On the right side of the door is a row of windows, under which there is a chaise longue and a pot of peonies.

In the middle of the room is a huge museum shelf, which divides the whole room into two parts, the front and the back. In the middle of the museum shelf is a pot-shaped door about three meters high and two meters wide. There are layers of golden-brown tulle, tied with scarlet fringed tassels.

Through the pot-shaped door, the innermost part of the room facing the door is a big bed, a box-shaped bed frame carved with golden silk nanmu, which is not at the same level as the one at Feng Ye's house, and there is a footrest in front of the bed. , a rich and luxurious curtain hangs on the bed, and the exquisite Wuzi Dengke tent hangs the curtain.The purple satin quilt and the thick golden-brown silk cotton mattress looked very comfortable. There was a dressing table at the head of the bed, and a set of mahogany cabinets at the foot of the bed.

The floor of the room is covered with intricately patterned carpets, the candlesticks in the four corners of the room are as exquisite as flower branches, and the copper beast stove on the table burns incense, filling the room with a faint and pleasant fragrance.

Feng Ye was looking around the house, and three or four young men came in with tea, brazier, and snacks. When they put down their things and went out, Feng Ye stared at Xiao Yuanhe and asked, "Hey, this place is so rich, it's your family's business." Why? Why do those people call you Master Ziye?"

"Hehe, sit down first!" Xiao Yuanhe pulled him to sit at the table, and bought him a cup of tea, "This casino is me and Yuantu, oh, it's my cousin, the one you saw last time That, the two of us started it together two years ago, just looking at it as fun and easy to make money. I stayed here for half a year when it first opened. Now that it’s on track, we don’t need to open it. The management is handed over to the people below, and the Zhengtai Bank in Yuantu is in charge, and the monthly interest is also allocated from the Chint Bank to the account."

"So you are very rich, how much did you earn from such a big gambling house? Tell me!"

"Haha... I didn't earn much, and I only have a bonus of more than [-] taels a year."

More than [-]... Damn!This is also called not earning much? !What a super vampire!

Feng Ye took a deep breath, "So you are so rich."

Xiao Yuanhe leaned into Feng Ye's ear and laughed and said, "Isn't it the same as you are rich if I'm rich? Besides, if I don't save more money, what will I do to support you in the future! I have no fields or land! "

"Then tell me honestly, besides this gambling house, what other profitable business do you have?"

"Yes, yes, I will tell you the truth. Now, come with your ears!" Xiao Yuanhe hooked his fingers at him.

Feng Ye leaned over and was hugged into his arms. "Hello!!!"

"Don't move, I'll tell you the truth. Besides this gambling house, I also have a restaurant and an inn in the capital, and there is also a gambling house in Yunzhou City to the east. That's all, it's gone."

"That's all?! You
