Chapter 648: To Nanyang
Thinking of this, he put away all his little thoughts and said to the old lady with a smile: "You have come a long way and are covered in dust. I just came to say hello to the old lady and won't disturb you too much. Please rest, we will take our leave."
.”
With that said, he led his nephew to stand up and bowed to say goodbye.
"You haven't gone to the Yamen yet, have you? Okay, you can go to the Yamen too. We don't need you to accompany us at home. Let's go. Let's go back to the Yamen with Mr. Zhang." When the old lady saw Zhang Shun leaving, she
The son rushed out, not at all the loving mother he had been when they first met.
Zhao Yuanxun had no choice but to go out and go back to the Yamen to do some work.
When he came back during dinner, Zhao Ruxi asked him about his situation in the Yamen.
In the end, she reluctantly discovered that her cheap dad was probably the male protagonist of the novel, which was a complete lie.
Look, he was born in a Hou family and became the heir apparent at a young age. When he grew up, he married such a good wife as Zhu, who took care of everything for him at home and abroad. When Zhao Ruxi came back,
He took advantage of Zhao Ruxi's favor and became an official. He was protected by Zhang Changshen and Wu Zong in Dali Temple, so he didn't suffer much at all.
When he was sent abroad, Zhang Shun was very concerned about him in order to curry favor with him, and thought of everything for him. He was parachuted here as a local official, and he never suffered the hardships that newcomers often suffer.
In short, he is really lucky in this life.
When Zhao Ruxi came to Suzhou, she wanted to learn from Zhao Yuanxun, but she gave up the idea when she saw this. She didn't want to come into contact with an official like Zhang Shun who loved to study, so she simply took Ma Sheng around on the streets and in the suburbs.
Zhou Chun rested in Gusu for a day and then went to Nanyang.
Zhao Ruxi not only has a house in Gusu City, but also a village. This village was bought for her by Xiao Lingyan.
A place where money can't buy.
However, this Zhuangzi has always been managed by one of Xiao Lingyan's secret guards, together with his own Zhuangzi. The income sent to the capital every year is not a lot, more than double that of Bailuzhuang.
In this case, Zhao Ruxi did not intend to go to Zhuangzi to see it. She walked around simply to learn about the economy and agricultural planting conditions in Jiangnan.
Ever since Zhang Shun found out how powerful Zhao Ruxi was, he never made a fuss again and went to the office honestly every day. Mrs. Zhang, who used to be very close to the Zhu family, only came to the Zhao Mansion to pay a visit to the old lady, and learned that Zhao Ruxi was not there.
He left after returning home, not daring to do anything more for fear of making Zhao Ruxi unhappy.
"Grandma, mother, I want to go to Nanyang early." Zhao Ruxi said to the old lady and Mr. Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu's hand holding the teacup paused, and she looked at Zhao Ruxi in surprise: "Didn't you say you would stay here for ten days? Why did you leave so early?"
"There's nothing to do here. It's better to go there earlier so that I can understand the situation there earlier." Zhao Ruxi said.
"Just let her go. She has something on her mind and she won't feel safe living here." The old lady said.
"Okay, then I'll ask my servants to pack up and we'll set off the day after tomorrow," Zhu said.
Zhao Ruxi opened her mouth, but finally closed it.
Forget it, it doesn't take more than a day's work. If mother wants to clean up, she can do it in a day.
So Zhao Ruxi stayed in Gusu for five days and then set off for Nanyang with her mother.
Nanyang is located in the middle of Beijing and Suzhou, but because they did not need to take care of the old lady, Zhao Ruxi and Zhu had tight schedules. They only walked for a day and a half and entered Nanyang City Gate in the afternoon of the next day.
"Madam, girl." Zhou Chun had already waited at the city gate with his wife Sun. When he saw Ma Sheng beside the carriage, he quickly came up to him and shouted to the carriage.
"Lead the way." Zhao Ruxi's voice came from the carriage.
"Yes." Zhou Chun hurried to the city gate, said hello to the soldiers guarding the gate, and gave them money. The carriage of Zhao Ruxi and his party entered the city smoothly.
After entering the city, Zhao Ruxi opened the car curtain and looked outside.
Nanyang is a small city between the provincial capital city and the county town. It is very close to Suzhou and the capital. It is a prosperous place. There are many shops on both sides, and the streets are very lively with people coming and going.
The carriage walked through the city for a long time, and finally entered a spacious street, and finally stopped in front of an imposing gate.
"Madam, girl, we're here." Zhou Chun said.
When Zhao Ruxi first traveled through time, she wanted to pursue a lucrative career as a housekeeper. Later, she discovered that housing prices in ancient times had remained the same for decades. In addition to the fact that houses in the capital were becoming more and more expensive due to the influx of outsiders to become officials,
There are also many officials renting houses. Apart from making money, other aspects are not satisfactory.
Unless Xiao Lingyan bought the house in Gusu for her, relying on connections and rights to buy it, and then selling it to a famous wealthy businessman, she would really not be able to make much money.
Therefore, according to Zhao Ruxi's wish, she could just buy a two-bedroom house in Nanyang.
As a result, she followed Zhou Chun and Sun through two courtyards, but still didn't reach the place where she lived.
She couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun: "When are you in?"
Zhou Chun glanced at Zhu: "Uh, enter four."
Mrs. Zhu quickly smiled and said: "You bought your father such a luxurious house in Gusu, but we can't let you live in a small courtyard, right? So we added some money to buy you a larger house."
"I live alone. The house is too big and it's not suitable." Zhao Ruxi said helplessly.
It would have taken a lot of effort for her to buy a three-bedroom and two-living house in modern times, but in ancient times she had to buy houses one by one and have a lot of servants. Thinking about this time travel, I don't know whether she is lucky or unlucky.
"Didn't I think that your master and the head of Qingyang County would both come to live here? The house is too small." Zhu said, "No, you can let your master live in the two entrances from the outside of this house; the two entrances from the inside.
, you live with the head of Qingyang County. I also come to live here occasionally. Maybe your grandmother got tired of living in Gusu and came to your place to have fun. So the house is too small, which is really not possible."
"Okay." Zhao Ruxi was speechless.
After choosing a courtyard to live in, Zhao Ruxi washed up and ate before sending the other servants out, leaving only Qing Feng and Luo Shi in the house.
She called Zhou Chun over and asked him, "How was your search for the news?"
Zhao Ruxi is a person who likes to rely on herself rather than relying on others. Although Xiao Lingyan has found out everything about Nanyang's situation for her, Zhao Ruxi still wants to train the abilities of Zhou Chun and others.
After all, when she became an official in Nanyang, she relied on Zhou Chun and others. If Zhou Chun was asked to investigate in person, the first-hand information obtained would be more convincing. Zhao Ruxi also wanted to verify the results of the investigation by Xiao Lingyan's men.
