Abandoned Daughter from a Noble Family: Poison to the World
Chapter 259 Doting
As one of the three major port states in Yun State, Quanzhou has a prosperous economy, a dense population, and a constant stream of pedestrians on the streets.
Su Wanqing didn't like riding in a sedan chair on a hot day because it was stuffy and uncomfortable. She thought riding a horse was more handsome and majestic. She rented a white horse and rode side by side with Yuan Li in Quanzhou.
"You've been watching outside for so long, why don't you go back to the post station? Do you want to meet that person?"
Yuan Li felt that the weather in Quanzhou was too hot, so he held the reins with one hand and fanned himself wildly with the other.
The bamboo hat that provided shade on her head was cool, but the sun outside was scorching and after being in the sun for too long, she became so hot that beads of sweat began to drip down her face.
Su Wanqing nodded. She was ecstatic. She had never made it to Quanzhou when she was a beggar in her previous life. Now that she was in Quanzhou, everything in front of her was new.
"Counties with ports are different. There are only three counties in the country with ports. Tanghai is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is close to the West. I wonder how much money Tanghai makes from its ports every year."
The Yun Kingdom has a maritime ban system. Ports are only open to civilian use at certain times each year, and officials can only use official routes, but the size and number of ships are also restricted.
"That's right. Among the seven countries in Kyushu, Tanghai is the richest."
Yuan Li complained that it was too hot and wanted Su Wanqing to finish the job quickly.
"If I wasn't afraid of her beating me, I would have asked you to go back to the post station a long time ago."
Su Wanqing values his life, so he has to bring a thug with him when he goes out.
Yuan Li rolled his eyes resignedly and followed Su Wanqing through many turns until he entered a small alley.
There are tall phoenix trees planted everywhere in the alley. The weather here is hot, so the flowering period is exceptionally longer. The phoenix trees in Nanxiang have already bloomed to the end of their blooming period, while the flowers here are still in clusters, as bright as clouds.
It was noon and there were not many people in the alley. I guess they all went home for lunch.
The alley was narrow, and the two of them walked one in front of the other. Su Wanqing also knew how to look at the road, and walked around. Finally, when Yuan Li couldn't help cursing, she said in surprise: "We're here."
At the end of the alley is an extremely magnificent house with three entrances and three exits. It has white walls, black tiles, and fire-proof gables. It is an architectural style from other places and is not in harmony with the local stilt houses in Quanzhou.
The doorman took a look at the magnolia jade token handed over by Su Wanqing, nodded, respectfully called the guards, and took Su Wanqing and Yuan Li into the inner room.
When passing through the central hall, you will see a huge pottery jar placed in the central open space that is filled with paper. It can accommodate four or five adults.
Su Wanqing walked closer and saw a severed hand stuffed inside, which had been bitten into pieces by the seductive and gorgeous fish inside.
"...I didn't know my aunt liked these things, but that time when she poked out the old man's eyes, I understood that my aunt had her reasons for everything she did."
Su Wanqing awkwardly withdrew his hand that was about to tease the fish and put it behind his back in a nonchalant manner.
Yuan Li sneered, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw someone standing in the main hall.
He was about forty years old, holding an abacus in his hand. He was dressed simply in a coarse cloth shorts and looked like an accountant, but his eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Su Wanqing.
Su Wanqing ran over as if she was kissing a bone, hugged the man and acted coquettishly.
"Aunt, look at me, I'm much taller than before."
Yuan Li covered his face with one hand, trying not to look at Su Wanqing who was acting like a spoiled brat. However, Su Wanqing's voice was like a devil's sound, forcing everyone to listen and watch.
Su Qu just caressed the top of Su Wanqing's head lovingly, "Good Qingqing, you have suffered so much that your hands have such thick calluses."
Su Wanqing's palms were covered with thick calluses. In the past, when she rode a horse, the reins would have rubbed her until they were covered in blood.
Fortunately, I have this layer of callus.
Perhaps Su Wanqing really has some shortcomings and always likes to act like a spoiled child in front of her elders.
This time he pulled Su Qu to talk even more, and the two chatted for a long time.
Yuan Li followed her closely, and even though he didn't want to listen, he still heard a lot.
