Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

At dawn the next day, voices were heard in the corridor, and the shopkeeper led a businessman to find one of the crew members.

"Wang Kai asked someone to bring me a message. They arrived in Lin'an Mansion five days ago. Take this." The businessman handed a package of things to the crew and left.

In this package are the guides and some money needed for passing through various places. Are they going directly to Lin'an Mansion now?

After discussing with Qin Juan, they still decided to go to Lin'an Mansion, even though Zhao Huaizhi's fief is in Jingbei.

"It turns out that this is engraved on the money of the Song Dynasty, so what kind of silver did you use for the rent yesterday?" Gu Yue took out a piece of silver in the bag and looked at it for a long time and asked Qin Juan.

Qin Juan: "Broken silver." He knows this, so he cuts the silver in advance, and there is always nothing wrong with using broken silver.

Gu Yue put down the money: "Then when shall we leave here?"

"Leave after lunch."

They went to the market to buy new saddles, threw the old saddles into the sea, and replaced the hoofs on the horses.

"I combed my hair again, and changed all the clothes that can be changed."

They were wearing the clothes of monks, but now they can be changed into the clothes of Song Dynasty.

They left here and continued westward. There are many small rivers and ponds on both sides of this road. The weeping willows on both sides of the road are sprouting in this season.

The scenery transitions between the bleakness of winter and the new life of spring, but this spring came a bit late.

Gu Yue and Qin Juan walked in front side by side, Gu Yue asked Qin Juan, "Where is the bracelet I gave you?"

Only then did Qin Juan remember the pair of silver bracelets that Gu Yue gave him when he was on the boat, saying it was a birthday present.

No, no, it was Gu Yue who forced it on him and asked him to wear it for him to see, but he is not a person who can wear a bracelet.

"I put it away." Qin Juan didn't know why he asked this suddenly.

"Why don't you put away the things I gave you?" Gu Yue seemed very angry.

"... Trouble, always ringing."

"Do you think it's troublesome for me to give you something? What do you mean?" Gu Yue's voice became colder and colder.

"..." Qin Juan knew that at such a time, he must not continue talking to Gu Yue, so he simply stopped talking.

A few days after arriving outside Lin'an City, even in the outskirts of the city, I can already feel the prosperity and delicacy of this city.

Even in the outskirts of the city, there are row upon row of inns and markets, and there are many buildings.

Inu'an looked at Ka Liu's appearance and laughed out loud: "I've never seen the world before."

"I... I've never seen such a beautiful building." Old Kaliu blushed.

Innuan had never seen it before, but he said bravely, "I've seen it before, and it's almost like this."

Ka Liu: "Is this really the suburb of Lin'an Prefecture? Is it just so prosperous outside the city?"

"I don't know." Inuan also felt a little dazed.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Gu Yue asked Qin Juan, "I haven't said a word for a long time, are you holding back?"

Qin Juan gave him a plan: "There is nothing to say."

They only stayed in the suburban market for half a day, when Wang Kai came to look for them.

"Where's Zhao Huaizhi?" Qin Juan asked Wang Kai.

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, and then reminded him: "You'd better not mention the name of the prince outside. The prince can't come out in the city, I will take you to the suburban palace first."

Wang Kai just came to meet them. After this trip, he has to do other things. I am afraid that he will not appear in Lin'an Mansion again in a short time.

Jingbei King's Bieyuan is located in Lishan on the outskirts of the city, except for Zhao Huaizhi himself, almost no one knows about it.

There is no particularly beautiful scenery here, but there are occasional snowfalls in winter, and lotus flowers bloom in the small lake on the mountain in summer.

After Wang Kai sent them to the outside of the palace, he took his men and the four crew members and left. A young man walked out from another courtyard. He was dressed in plain white robes. Not handsome, but it can give people a just right feeling of comfort.

"I'm the steward of Shanhailou, you can call me Yaozhi."

Hearing this name, Qin Juan immediately thought of the two masters, Yao Guang.

"What's your relationship with Yao Guang?" Gu Yue asked what Qin Juan wanted to ask.

The young man smiled and said, "Yao Guang is my senior brother."

Yao Zhi led them into another courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Gu Yue's eyes were attracted by a big tree in the center of the other courtyard. The trunk of this tree was very thick, as thick as three or five strong men put together.

"What kind of tree is this?" He couldn't help asking.

"It's a ginkgo." Yao Zhi replied, "There is only this one in the suburbs of Lin'an Prefecture."

Gu Yue had never seen it before, but she didn't know whether she was saluting or something to that big tree, her actions were a little funny.

No one laughed at him, even Kaliu bowed to him.

Gu Yue: "In my hometown, when I see such a big tree, I worship it, because they are gods."

Yao Zhi smiled and said, "Everyone, come with me."

Yao Zhi arranged the courtyard and residence for them.

Qin Juan originally thought that he could see Taohua, Songman and Wenqu here, but Yao Zhi told him that Zhao Huaizhi sent Taohua and the others to Jingbei.

Qin Juan could roughly guess that Zhao Huaizhi was worried about the war, so he sent Taohua and the others away ahead of time.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the future, so as not to worry them.

"Do you like it here?"

At night, Yao Zhi saw Qin Juan sitting alone in the yard, he came over and asked in a soft voice.

Qin Juan nodded.

The surrounding area is very quiet, and in Yao Zhi’s view, it is impossible to sit outside for a long time on the night of early spring, but Qin Juan is different. Although he is afraid of the cold, he is also used to the cold.

Maybe it's because I'm in the place I want to stay most, and my heart is warm, so I don't feel the chill.

"Zhao Huaizhi...has he lived here?" He suddenly looked at Yao Zhi and asked.

Yao Zhi smiled and said, "I lived there, when he was still very young."

Qin Juan's face suddenly softened, and his expression was much more relaxed than Shen Ning's before.

Yao Zhi smiled: "I'll take you to Wang Ye's study."

Qin Juan stood up: "Okay."

Zhao Huaizhi's study room is shocking. It's not a study room at all. It's a courtyard with four rooms full of books?

Qin Juan couldn't help asking: "Has he read all these books?"

"That year the prince read here day and night." Yao Zhi replied.

Qin Juan thought, then he should have read many books

But he couldn't imagine the young Zhao Huaizhi, the childlike Zhao Huaizhi reading a book.

"Later, why did he leave here?" Qin Juan seemed to be asking the book here.

Yao Zhi didn't know, so he didn't answer. When he saw Qin Juan reading these books, his eyes were full of tenderness.

One day at the end of February, after breakfast, it rained lightly.

Qin Juan rode Seventh Brother and took Hu Hu to the back mountain for a stroll.

Gu Yue and the others were talking in the yard.

Kaliu said that he had never lived in such a nice house.

It should be said that Kaliu and the others did not know that this was the palace.I don't even know that Zhao Huaizhi is the prince here...

"But it's not a solution to go on like this, it's not good to always live with Mr. Zhao." Ka Liu suddenly looked at Yin Nuan, "Why hasn't fourth master written yet?"

They were waiting for Yao Silang. Yao Silang said that he was going to find a friend of his father who was an official. They should be doing business in Song State, and Qin Juan would give them a capital.

"It should be soon."

"What if the friend of his father that fourth master said doesn't help us?"

"Then ask Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin will definitely help us. It's just that the fourth master said that he owes Mr. Qin too much, so it's not good to ask him for help, but I believe that as long as we work harder, we will have a good life .” Inuan said, looking at the sky above his head and smiling.

"Ah."

Qin Juan was sitting by the small lake in the back mountain, drinking water by the lake, and Seventh Brother was playing beside him.

Seventh Brother ate grass happily, occasionally pawing at Qin Juan's clothes.

Qin Juan looked at Seventh Brother, his eyes were full of love and compassion. He was worried that Seventh Brother would not be used to the grass here. Fortunately, Seventh Brother and Huhu survived, and he was not picky because he could only eat hay on the big boat. .

Thinking of this, Qin Juan stood up and patted their heads.

Yao Zhi said that Zhao Huaizhi has been with the Tian family recently, and has been investigating the matter of Qin Mao, who is suspected to be his uncle, but it seems that he has no clue after so long.

Zhao Huaizhi asked him to wait for him.

He didn't ask Yao Zhi again about him.

He was used to waiting like this.

It's just that Qin Juan would occasionally ask Yao Zhi if he knew that Qin Mao.

Yao Zhi would tell him something he knew about Qin Mao. When he was young, he was famous in the west of Lin'an Prefecture. The official is still willing to make friends with him.

"He is very smart. He was always waiting for an opportunity when he was young. He would definitely seize the opportunity. He started to make friends with ordinary officials. He stayed in Lin'an for about three or four years. He was always just a romantic figure, and his reputation was not good. Big or small, he should have really started to get lucky after getting acquainted with the Minister of Rites.

Rear. "

Yao Zhi said that the investigation did not improve, because he could not find out Qin Mao's background, but only found out these things that can be known after a little inquiring.

At that time, the minister of the Ministry of Rites always wanted to present a good letter to the Tian family, but he couldn't find one that he was satisfied with. Later, someone recommended Qin Mao to him.

After the Minister of Rites agreed, he asked someone to bring Qin Mao to his house. Qin Mao had only waited for this opportunity for four years in Lin'an, so he naturally cherished it very much.

The servant's younger sister is on good terms with the princess of Ci'an, Qin Mao didn't know that he would get married after this trip.

Yao Zhi also asked Qin Juan why he believed that Qin Mao must be.

Qin Juan said that all his hope is only Qin Mao, if Qin Mao is not, he will never find Gu Gu again, so he hopes that Qin Mao is, it must be.

On the way back, he had a dream. He dreamed of Gu Gu. Gu Gu had been waiting for him for 15 years and had been looking for him for 15 years. When he woke up, his pillow towel was soaked.

His only relative had waited for him for so long.

He has already returned to Song Dynasty, if he can find Qin Gu, his life will be complete.
