Chapter 248 249 Yunzhou

The group had been on the road for more than two months. At the end of the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, they arrived at a place more than ten miles away from the city of Yunzhou. He ran, turned his head and shouted to the back: "Master, Madam Lucky and Lucky are here to pick us up."

Before they finished speaking, the two of them rode their horses to the front of the car, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, Madam, Jixiang (fortune) will pick you up."

Zhou Jia and Li Yu showed a happy smile of reunion after a long absence when they saw the two.

Zhou Jia jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward to support the two of them, smiled and slapped the two of them on their chests, and asked in surprise, "How did you two know we were coming to Yunzhou?"

Zhaocai reported to Zhou Jiaxi: "Shen Zhong told me that it happened that Jixiang delivered the goods to Kyoto. After we handed over to the shopkeeper Chu in Kyoto, we rushed here. We have a small half-moon in Yunzhou."

Ruyi also dismounted and ran in front of the two of them, hugging them with a smile, and the two hugged Ruyi with a smile. Jixiang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "Master, I have nothing to do these days. We wandered around the city and looked at a few shops. We will make a decision after the master and wife have seen it. Also; when we go out of the city Seeing officials waiting outside the city, they may have come to pick up the master."

Yangyang and Qijin huddled together, pouted their buttocks, stuck their heads out of the car window, and looked curiously at the smiling Ruyi people who hugged each other. The two of them just laughed and ignored them, waving their hands and shouting: "Daddy, Daddy, hold Yangyang (seven pounds)."

Lucky and Lucky ran to the car window, looked at the two dolls in red, and said with a smile, "Which one is Young Master Yangyang? Which one is seven pounds?"

The two stretched out their short fat fingers, pointed at themselves, and said, "I am Yangyang, and I am Qijin."

Li Yu and Xiaoyu smiled at the two and said, "Yangyang, Qijin, please call Uncle Jixiang, Uncle Lucky."

Jixiang took out the golden locks of longevity prepared in the morning, hung them on their necks, cupped their hands and said with a smile, "Young Master Yangyang, it's time for Lucky (Lucky) to greet you."

Yangyang imitated the two of them, holding up two fat hands and clasping them together: "Yangyang sees the salute." Zhou Jia and Li Yu laughed when they saw it.

Auspiciousness and Lucky Fortune greeted Mr. Wen and Mr. Qian before everyone got into the car and walked towards the gate of the city.

Outside the city gate of Yunzhou, several officials who greeted Zhou Jia stood outside the city gate, facing the cold wind and waiting for Zhou Jia's arrival. Even if the waiting officials were a little impatient, none of them left early, and they all wanted to see This is a small county magistrate who came out of a corner, and how sacred is Zhou, who has jumped to the prefect.

In front of him, he looked up at the guards on the post road, saw a group of carriages and horses approaching the city gate, and shouted excitedly: "Come, come."

Zhou Jia asked Zhaocai to stop the car, and a slender middle-aged man greeted him and said, "Wang Qinghai, the official of the Xiayun Prefecture Government Office, dare to ask if it is the frame of the newly appointed prefect Zhou?"

Zhou Jia got out of the car, smiled and said, "Exactly."

Wang Qinghai bowed and saluted: "Yunzhou government official Wang Qinghai, see your lord." A dozen or so officials behind Wang Qinghai also stepped forward to greet him. Everyone met at the city gate and got into the car separately. , whispering, I didn't expect Master Zhou to be promoted to the prefect at such a young age, and I have never heard anyone say that he is a son of a noble family!

Li Yu has traveled so many places, but this is the first time he has seen the city wall of Fucheng, which is almost three feet high. Vehicles entered the city from the west gate and walked on the blue stone road. Li Yu felt that the stone road was more bumpy than the post road outside the city. Zhou Jia hugged Yangyang, who was squinting and drowsy, and patted him lightly. Li Yu leaned against the eaves of the car window and looked out through the sand window.

Yunzhou City is much more prosperous than she imagined. There are buildings scattered on both sides of the street, and shops are lined up. The doors of the shops are wide open, and all kinds of things in the shops are full and neat. The people in the dress are also much better than Qingchuan.

The builders of Yuncheng planned the city squarely. The car entered from the west gate and went east to a more spacious street. Most of the pedestrians on the street wore silk and satin. scene.

Li Yu sees the shop facades on Fuya Street even more grand. There are pawnshops, pharmacies, inns, tea houses, and a three-storey luxury restaurant called Zuixianlou.

Li Yu sighed to Zhou Jia: "It really deserves to be the birthplace of the founding emperor! Looking at this bustling bustle, it can catch up with Kyoto."

Zhou Jia whispered to Li Yu: "It's very prosperous. Most of the shops around here are opened by people who have something to do with the yamen. Sigh! Although it's Gaosheng, the water here is deep, and the days may not be as good as we are here. Qingchuan is at ease."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you afraid of? As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as they don't go too far, you will do your best to benefit one party. We just want to have a clear conscience."

Zhou Jia nodded, hugged Li Yu, looked down at her, and said with a smile, "Mrs. still thinks through."

Wang Qinghai and the others got out of the car, led the convoy in front of them to turn through the gate of the government office, and walked to the gate of the upper house in the backyard. There was already a guard in front of the door. When they saw the car approaching, they hurriedly unloaded the threshold. The car passed the shadow wall and stopped. When they got down, Li Yu saw through the gap in the car curtain that the yard at the second door was spacious and tidy, it seemed to be twice the size of the Qingchuan county government office, and even the carts with luggage in the back went directly into the second door.

Zhou Jia carefully placed the sleeping Yang Yang in Li Yu's arms and got out of the car, Wang Qinghai bowed forward and said, "Sir, the backyard is a three-entry yard, and there is a garden behind the yard. Although the garden is not big, there are trees, flowers and plants. Well, there is an external study, living room, and council room in the front yard."

Zhou Jia smiled and gently discussed with Wang Qinghai and the others: "Lord Wang, it's getting late for you to see that it's getting late. I'm sorry to bother you to wait for a day. You should also go back to rest and wait until I settle down and talk about it tomorrow."

Zhou Jia said this, Wang Qinghai and the others could not accept it. Looking at this young and beautiful prefect, they all bowed and smiled and said, "Okay, when the adults are settled, we will clean up the dust for the adults." Zhou Jia After thanking a few people, Wang Qinghai and the others saw that Zhou Jia was bringing his servants and his wife, and felt that it was not easy to intervene in help, so they stopped talking and voluntarily left the courtyard.

Li Yu got out of the car with Yangyang in his arms, and Zhou Jia stepped forward to take Yangyang and entered the second door together. There was also a large yard inside, which was cleanly cleaned, with two wing rooms on the left and right, five main rooms with verandas. Connected, there is a hanging flower door in the back. Passing through the hanging flower door is a courtyard of the same size. If you enter again, it is the main courtyard. The main courtyard is much larger. In the wing room, there are flowers and plants in the yard, and it looks like it has been carefully taken care of. The two passed through the corner door next to the main house, and entered a slightly lower courtyard. When they entered, it was the garden mentioned by Wang Qinghai. There were exquisite water pavilions and curved bridges, and small rockery and flowing water. The garden was full of flowers and trees, and Li Yu felt like a reduced version of Suzhou gardens he had visited in his previous life.
