As he spoke, Hu Zi pointed to the rows of gray-walled and gray-tiled houses on the river bank.

“Great Elder, the third room is the house we rented.

These dozens of houses were built by the villagers themselves and have been rented out over the years.

The area in the distance is where the farmers live. Smart people make money from homestays and business on this street, and more people make a living from fishing and collecting herbs in the mountains. ”

“Every family here is doing business.”

Qiao Nan looked at the open doors of every household, where guests occasionally came in and out, and couldn't help but ask.

"Most of them have businesses. Some have lived here for a long time and have integrated into the local life, starting their own businesses. This street has the most pedestrians and the best business."

Hu Zi entered the open gate, or rather the open fence gate. The courtyard gates here are all enclosed by fences so as not to block people's sight, and also to serve the purpose of distinguishing the boundaries of the land.

"Hu Zi is here. Are the guests you went to pick up here? Oh, you are really distinguished guests. Look at the two little girls, they are really pretty."

As they were talking, a middle-aged woman in her forties came out from a row of houses on the left side of the yard. She had an apron tied around her waist, and the rich aroma of boiled fish wafted out from the stove through the window.

"Great Elder, this is Granny Wang. This B&B is hers. She will come over on time to cook for us and clean the house."

"Hello, Granny Wang."

Qian You followed suit and greeted the fat woman with her mouth grinning from ear to ear.

"Okay, okay, I am an old woman and I am not worthy of your greetings. You all should go and have a rest first. Dinner will be served soon."

Qianyou looked at the yard, which was very clean.

There is a row of main houses, two rows of side houses, more than ten rooms in total, and a large square courtyard.

The entire place was booked by them, and the disciples of Qianliu Mountain and the people she brought were just enough to accommodate them.

The carriages and horses were driven to the backyard, and Jingsi and Qiufeng were busy putting the unloaded packages into each room. They were very happy to travel with the young master, as this was a benefit they had fought for from the two maids, Xia Qi and Qiu Qi, so they had to perform well.

After Qian You and Qiao Nan had a simple wash, they looked at the lively and orderly crowd, and the afterglow of the setting sun hanging low on the top of the green hills not far away, and felt extremely peaceful.

"This is really a paradise, with a different taste of life. I really want to live here."

Qiao Nan breathed in the fish scent in the air, and his heroic face softened.

"That's right, I mean that too."

As Qian You's mind was turning, he seemed to have an illusion.

The place where I fell into the sea in my previous life was an island, and it felt somewhat similar to this place, especially the smell in the air.

I've been here for fifteen or sixteen years, and this is the first time I have such a strong feeling.

She missed home, and missed that warm and harmonious home very much.

The grandfather who always forced her to learn all kinds of strange skills, the strong mother, and the father who worked in a special position in the army and whom she only saw a few times a year.

I wonder if they are still thinking about me after all these years, and how they are living without their only child.

Qian You's bitter mood infected Qiao Nan beside her, and she asked with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go inside and rest for a while?"

Qian You realized that his mind was wandering, so he calmed down, looked at the lively courtyard, and smiled.

"It's okay. I just remembered something from long ago. Let's go see the Great Elder. Let's eat."

The group had the first local dinner in the village with great satisfaction. Everyone was satisfied and talked about what kind of business they should do here to better integrate into the local environment. They were all filled with passion in an instant.

Dongcang Palace.

Cangyu reluctantly accepted Qianyou's plan to go separately and returned to the palace.

He felt increasingly depressed and overwhelmed by government affairs and had no control over his affairs.

"Your Majesty, the secret guard just reported that Miss Baili and her companions have arrived at Jishui Village in Beiyan. They are living in a farmhouse and have opened a Cha Cha Fish Noodle Restaurant. Business is booming."

Xiuzhu was responsible for delivering messages between Cangyu and Baili Qianyou, writing at least one secret letter every day, and he would not dare to conceal anything, no matter how big or small.

"Cha Cha Fish, Noodle House? It seems like she likes life there very much."

Cangyu's eyes were deep, filled with eagerness and anticipation that could not be concealed.

"Have the northern garrison arrived at the foot of the Green Mountain?"

"Your Majesty, in two days, 10,000 elite soldiers should arrive at Qingshan in disguise and enter Beiyan territory."

Xiuzhu responded in a deep voice.

"Gu Feng, call Sheng Xiaoge, Jing Zhan and Shang Qing over to discuss the matter."

Cangyu continued to review memorials and was busy giving orders.

"Yes!"

The ancient style has adapted to the fast pace of the new emperor.

This year, he and Xiuzhu were in charge of internal affairs and external affairs respectively, becoming the incarnations of Emperor Cangyu and working in perfect harmony.

The three young people have become the first promoters of Dongcang's new policies. They strongly support the new emperor's policies and are responsible for their implementation and execution. They are full of energy.

Especially Jing Zhan and Shang Qing, who had long since passed away in the early days of the court because they were companions of Prince Ning and Prince Shen, and had different positions and unstable moods.

After a period of running-in, they cooperated well and displayed great talents.

Cangyu keeps his word.

The previous political parties were forgiven and reintegrated as long as they were not directly involved in the crimes that brought disaster to the people.

The new dynasty examined loyalty and pragmatism, and gave greater development space and sufficient trust to down-to-earth people with real talents and knowledge. During this period, the Dongcang Kingdom had unified political views, freedom of speech, a hundred schools of thought flourished, and the government was in good order and the people were harmonious.

"Your Majesty."

The three were still handling state affairs after they came off duty, so when Gu Feng came, he quickly came to the imperial study and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Flat body."

Cangyu put away the last memorial and looked up at the few people, all of whom were confident, calm and natural.

"I have decided to set off in ten days. The itinerary will remain confidential as before. Gu Feng will coordinate in the court, Shang Qing will be responsible for confidential matters, and those who cannot make the decision will send a message to me. Jing Zhan will accompany me this time to make the connection, Xiao Ge will control the six ministries of the former dynasty and assist the prime minister in his work."

"No, let me go with you. I want to go out for a walk."

Sheng Xiaoge looked at Jing Zhan with envy.

"Your wife will give birth in a few months. I'm taking you out now. Auntie, please don't nag me to death."

Cangyu couldn't help but roll his eyes at his cousin. Didn't he envy the life with a wife, children and a warm bed?

"That's right, you two have wives and children, but I am still alone and free. Don't fight with me."

Jing Zhan shook his official robe with pride.

In the past six months, the threshold of his house has been trampled down by matchmakers, and he is worried that he can't escape his mother's nagging.

"It's settled then, go get ready."

Ten days was already compressed to the limit for him.

It's a new dynasty, with new policies, and there is a lot of work to be done. Even if the government is stable and the people are harmonious, the trivial matters, big and small, are almost overwhelmed by him.

He was disgusted with this palace without Qian You from the bottom of his heart.

In other words, he really longed for Qianyou to be able to roam freely in the world and mountains.

He was even a little scared and worried that if he didn't keep an eye on it, a rotten peach branch would pop out from somewhere and make him upset.
