Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 196 White Walls and Black Tiles

"Okay Ziyuan, let's discuss this..."

Ziyuan tapped her feet and flew away...

"Brother Qinglong~"

"Qingfeng, if I were you, I wouldn't think about changing the mission. The master must have his own reasons for asking you to go. I can change it for you. Here, the master hasn't rested yet, you go and tell him." Qinglong stood there motionless, as if he was really waiting for him to speak.

"Hmph, I don't care about it. My job is so easy."

"Oh, you just called me brother, but now you call yourself master. You have really grown up." Qinglong said, shook his head and walked away

Xiao Jue leaned back on the armchair and thought. The prince had been confined to the Eastern Palace, but it was not enough to depose him. The queen had a solid foundation and a reputation for being wise. If she could not completely move the prince to the palace this time, it would be even more difficult in the future...

He took out a pen stained with cinnabar and drew a circle around the prince. He put down the pen and picked up the paper. He saw densely packed names written on it, which were all intricate networks of relationships. He hoped that Su Jinyu could find evidence of the prince's guilt this time, so that it would not be in vain for him to keep the prince in the East Palace.

The sky was hazy, and everyone in the inn followed several horse-drawn carriages to the same direction, heading to the county town that the new county magistrate said he would help restore to its former prosperity.

Especially, although Jiang Chen was going to be beaten with 20 sticks when he arrived at Ganzhou County, he still wanted to go back there, back to the place where he was born and raised. He wanted to atone for his sins and then help the county magistrate...

"Miss, have some tea to refresh yourself." Bai Zhi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Jiu.

"Well, it's really refreshing..." Wen Jiu looked at the sky outside, which was foggy.

The carriage was swaying, but the speed was not slow at all

They did not stop during the journey and ate the dry food they had prepared with tea. Wen Jiu knew that they had to hurry and could not delay, so she specifically told Su Jinyu and the others this morning to change into simple and plain clothes.

After they kept on going, they finally arrived at Ganzhou County after noon. The city gate still had its original splendor, made of tall blue bricks and red tiles. Each person had to pay three copper coins for the carriage. It was not much, but for those who worked as farmers and had no harvest and wanted to come to the county town to find work, it was undoubtedly painful...

Su Jinyu in the front car paid copper coins to all of them. The four cars paid a lot of money, which caused the onlookers to discuss and explore.

"Hey, who is this family? They paid so much at once, even the servants' money. Are they here to do business?"

"What kind of business can we still do here? Don't let yourself be cheated again."

"You don't want to live anymore, don't let anyone hear you"

"Hey, when will this life of ours end?"

"Master, Master, please give me something to eat!" Someone boldly approached Su Jinyu's carriage.

If there is one, there will be another. Soon the carriage was surrounded. Su Jinyu knew that he could not take out the remaining dry food now, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward. He asked Ah San to go down and tell the guards at the city gate to drive them away first. There was no other way. After all, personal safety was the most important thing. When people are hungry, they can do anything. The wine was still in the carriage...

Qinghu knocked on the carriage door and told Wenjiu everything that had happened. Wenjiu just said, "I know."

"Miss, isn't this a little inappropriate of the eldest master..." Xuan Ling said hesitantly.

"Do you think that since Big Brother is already the county magistrate here, why can't we give them our dry food? And let the people guarding the city drive them away?"

"Yes, the eldest master has just arrived, so he should be able to win people's hearts faster," Xuan Ling asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Do you know how many people in Ganzhou County have no food to eat? Lift the curtain and look outside. If we give them the surplus food, more people will scramble for it. They might even rush onto the carriage to steal our things. It's right for you to do this, brother. Our own safety is also very important. We are here to do practical things. We don't need to buy people's hearts. What we need to do is to make them believe that their county magistrate can do practical things for them. This way, we don't need to buy people's hearts and it will last longer. Do you understand?" Wen Jiu tapped her forehead.

"I see, miss, I was just being superficial."

Wen Jiu smiled without saying anything, and opened the curtain again. She saw people lying on the ground outside, some begging from the rich but being kicked away by the rich, and some selling their children. They were all skinny and yellow, comparable to the people in the Xiaoxiang plague. Little Jiujiu was saying in her mind at this time, "Oh, the master and his family are so pitiful. Why is the gap between the rich and the poor so big here?"

"Yes, the street we just entered the city on was a shabby road with beggars, it was dirty and messy, and almost all the shops were closed. Now that we are inside, the street is clean and tidy, there are no beggars, but only businessmen dressed in brocade."

"But this doesn't make sense. In any county town, the most glamorous and beautiful scenery should be placed at the entrance to the city. Wouldn't this be more attractive to outside merchants?" Xiao Jiujiu wondered.

"This is exactly what they want. Those who have been doing business with them for a long time must know all this and won't care. They don't seem to need other merchants to settle here." What secrets are there here? What can make them give up the entire county...

"Xuan Ling, go down and tell big brother that you don't need to report to me yet, and go to the house I bought." Wen Jiu handed the deed to Xuan Ling.

"When did the young lady buy the house?" Bai Zhi was surprised.

Xuan Ling answered cleverly, "Let the prince buy it in advance. You stay with the young lady first." Then he left.

"The prince is really efficient. The land deeds have been processed as soon as we arrived." Bai Zhi admired Xiao Jue's efficiency.

Wenjiu: I’ll keep this praise from Xuanying for you for now!

"Is that so?" Wen Jiu replied perfunctorily.

"Master, Xuan Ling has something to say." Xuan Ling tapped the side of the carriage.

"What's wrong?" The curtain was opened.

"This is what the young lady gave you. She said we should go here first." Xuan Ling handed the deed to Su Jinyu and returned to the carriage to warm the wine.

Four carriages stopped outside a house. The two stone lions in front of the door were majestic. The Hui-style architecture made Wen Jiu shout in his heart, "Jiangnan,

There was no inscription on the door plaque yet. They were used to seeing the magnificent or solemn decorations in the capital. This rare building made them feel like they were in a painting. At this moment, they seemed to understand what was written in the book about the infinite beauty of Jiangnan...

Even the always calm Su Jinyu couldn't help but marvel at the courtyard surrounded by mountains and water. It turned out that she was really short of experience.

The flowing water under the small bridge, the misty rain over the apricot blossoms, the white walls and black tiles between the green mountains and green waters, the patio and corridors... every scene is so artistic. Xuanying is worthy of you. This house really hits her heart.

When talking about Huizhou architecture, one can quickly associate it with "white walls, black tiles, horse head walls, corridors with fallen flowers hanging across the windows" and can't help but say it out loud.

Su Jinyu, who was standing by, suddenly turned around to look at her sister, who was still immersed in the book with an intoxicated look on her face. She could always come up with something that was very suitable for the moment. She secretly wrote down this sentence and hung it in the study after the book was finished....

"Brother, look at the layout of this courtyard, do you like it? I like it very much."

She seemed to really like it, and answered without waiting for others to ask...
