Farmer’s Little Girl - Chapter 3509
Chapter 3509 Fanwai 42
After many years, I came back to Longchi Wharf. Everyone didn’t want to eat at home, so they all went to the restaurant at the foot of the mountain to enjoy the night view of Longchi.
In the evening, the lights of Longchi Wharf were brilliant, and orange-red lanterns hung in front of the shops. The merchants who came to Longchi Wharf to buy goods, the seamen and crew members who just disembarked, and the travelers who passed through Longchi Wharf, did not leave for a while. All gathered in this Longchi market.
And here there is no curfew, no city walls, as long as the merchants and tourists want, they can have fun all night long.
Zhou Man and the others simply skipped their own shop, went up to the third floor of a restaurant and sat by the window, watching the people passing by below, looking in the direction they were walking, they couldn’t help but let out a groan, pointing diagonally across from them. The very lively Lou asked, “Isn’t that house selling silk and satin before, why is it so lively at night? I heard the sound of silk and bamboo.”
Thursday Lang took a look, coughed, and he swallowed, but when he met his sister’s curious eyes, he suddenly remembered that she was also a person who visited Hualou to throw a lot of gold, so he calmed down, “That’s Hualou.”
Bai Shan frowned, “How did Hualou see this street coming? Didn’t there used to be a lot of buildings in Housan Street?”
In the beginning, it was planned for which business to do.
Thursday Lang said: “It’s been chaotic long ago. Now whoever has the money to rent a good location and do whatever business he wants, the county magistrate doesn’t really care.”
He said: “This flower building was opened by Japanese people. The geisha in it are all Japanese. Their dances are a little different. If you are interested, you can go and see…”
Anyway, his sister will never suffer.
Zhou Man: “Fourth brother, do you often go there?”
Thursday Lang shook his head, “I don’t like the smell on them, but if the merchants who come and go insist on going, I will accompany them for a while. Their wine is not as good as ours, and I prefer to talk about things in restaurants.”
He winked at Zhou Man, “And with your fourth sister-in-law’s temper, do I dare to make a fool of yourself?”
Don’t care how rich the old Zhou family is now, their family doesn’t have the rules of taking concubines and messing around outside. In his mother’s words, they can’t even manage their home well, so don’t think about doing anything outside.
Zhou Man was interested and looked at Bai Shan: “I want to go have a look.”
Bai Shan: …
He turned his head and asked Thursday Lang, “Are there many people from the Japanese country in Qingzhou? I remember that a few years ago, the governor of Guo defeated the Japanese country at sea, and in the past few years, no one from the Japanese country has come to pay tribute.”
After thinking about it, Thursday Lang said: “Not much, just two years, this flower building only opened in the past two years. They brought a lot of silver to buy land and buildings, but the county magistrate disliked them. The Japanese are unwilling to sell the land, the shops in Longchi are becoming more and more valuable, except for a few people who are in urgent need of money, no one is willing to take out.”
“So in the end, they only bought one, and in the end, they rented the left and right two for a lot of money, and only after they got through, did they make the current flower building.”
Bai Shan nodded slightly, and also glanced out at the Hualou, directly rejecting Zhou Man, “It’s nothing to see, if you want to see it, we will have a chance to go to the Japanese country later and take you to see it again.”
Bai Shan asked Thursday, “Can you find a boat for us to go to sea?”
Thursday Lang hesitated for a while, but still said: “Only a boat to Silla can go to Japan. You can go to Tianfang. Don’t say that I can’t find a boat right now. Even if I do, I won’t allow you to go.”
he asked, “Do you know where Tianfang is?”
Thursday Lang also went out to sea several times, but every time he came back from the sea, he was frightened, for fear that he would not be able to come back once he went.
The sea is much more dangerous than the land. You can still run when you encounter danger on land. When you encounter danger at sea, there is nowhere to run.
Bai Shan didn’t argue, glanced at Zhou Man and nodded, “Then go to Silla first.”
Mingda’s heart surged when he heard it, and he couldn’t help but poked Shiro Erlang.
Bai Erlang has been to Silla, but Mingda has not been, he immediately said: “We are going too.”
Yin might not say a word, but he also looked up at Bai Shan.
They are all right by sea boat from Yangzhou to Qingzhou. From here to Silla is closer. If the boat is fast, it can be reached in one day and one night. If it is slow, it will arrive in two days, so he nodded without any objection, but…
He looked at Mingda, “Princess, please go to the court…”
Mingda said modestly: “I don’t go there in the name of the princess, but just go out for a walk.”
She paused and said, “I’ll tell you from Your Majesty’s place.”
Bai Shan nodded.
Thursday Lang saw that they were no longer talking about going to Tianfang, so he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “I will let Uncle Shi follow you and be a guide for you.”
He said: “Uncle Shi is very good. He has been in charge of our family’s maritime affairs on the dock side for all these years. A lot of goods are going to Silla. He is familiar with people there, and has learned from them. He follows me at ease.”
Zhou Man asked: “Last time I wrote that his son had finally married a wife. What’s wrong with his heart?”
“After taking your medicine, it’s much better. In recent years, his father hasn’t let him worry about it. His heartache is much better.”
Thursday Lang smiled and said: “He has always refused to marry, saying that he is unwilling to drag down other girls, this time it is good, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy within a year of entering the door, Uncle Shi is now getting what he wanted, and just wants to save more. A little money will give my grandson a wife in the future.”
“Let him go to Silla with you, and you can call him.”
Since he moved to Qingzhou, the people around Uncle Shi have changed. He is unfamiliar with people here, and no one takes them with him. He has a heart, so he has never gambled again. He also knows that he is not very good at gambling. Self-control, so stay away from casinos.
Whether it was in the county seat or at the end of Longchi, when he saw the casino, he took a detour. In addition, Mrs. Shi also kept an eye on him when he got there, and the Shi family’s life gradually calmed down.
It’s just that Shi Dalang’s medicines cost a lot, and even if Shizuo Lang gave him a lot of wages, it would be difficult for the Shi family to save money.
This is still Zhou Man who has been caring for the friendship of the year, whether it is to give Shi Dalang an injection or to prescribe medicine, he will not accept medical fees.
Later, Zheng Gu took over the medical office here. Everyone in the medical office knew that the Shi family and Zhou Man were old, and they all collected money according to her routine.
But Shi Dalang has a heart disease, which requires a long time to take medicine, and the medicine is not cheap, and he needs to relax his heart to stabilize the condition.
Uncle Shi also knew that no matter how difficult it was for the Shi family to go back to the past, he always felt ashamed of his wife and children, so in addition to the work given by Shizuo Lang, he would occasionally think of other ways to make a living.
For example, occasionally leading some caravans to earn some hard money, or helping some small caravans without account houses, you can also make some money.
Thursday Lang also knew about his situation, and Uncle Shi’s other qualities were still good, but he couldn’t go wrong in loyalty, so he never let him make extra money.
