Delicate Flower - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36]

Jiangnan water town, the river is vertical and horizontal, the people travel, mostly rely on water.

There are several large and small piers in Hangzhou City, among which the three largest piers are near Wulin Gate, Yongjin Gate and Qiantang Gate.

The Wulinmen Wharf is in the northwest of the city and is connected to the Jiangnan Grand Canal.

Yongjinmen Wharf is located in the west of the city, by the West Lake, and is the main road to Taihu Lake, Lin’an and other places.

Qiantangmen Wharf is in the middle of Xiangji Temple Wharf and Yongjinmen Wharf. There are many temples nearby. The cigarettes are curled all year round, and pilgrims are like clouds.

Yu Tang and his passenger ship docked at Yongkinmen Pier.

They have to disembark here, or transfer to a small awning boat, or hire a sedan chair to enter the city.

Taking a boat is much cheaper and more comfortable than taking a sedan chair, and you can also see the scenery along the way.

The only downside is that it takes longer than sitting in a sedan chair.

Fortunately, Yu Wen and the others were going to stay in Hangzhou City for a few more days, so he made up his mind early in the morning to take the Wu Peng boat into the city.

Perhaps it was because he had been on the boat for a long time, and when he got off the boat, Yu Tang’s legs became weak, and he felt that his whole body was shaking.

Yu Yuan supported her, pointed to a big bowl of tea under the big locust tree in front of him and said, “Would you like to have a cup of tea and take a break?

” The sound, all kinds of voices were louder and louder, it was noisy and noisy, and it was so lively that it was a headache.

“No need!” Yu Tang said a little tiredly, “Let’s go to the inn quickly!”

When she got to the inn, she could rest well.

Yu Yuan nodded.

Yu Tang took the opportunity to take a few glances at the pier.

The bluestone-paved steps are thick and sturdy, the imperforate arch bridge is beautiful and quiet, and the river is full of various boats.

She didn’t see Pei’s boat.

Yu Wen had already contacted Wu Pengchuan and sent five cents to the Ruyi Inn next to Xiaoheyu Street.

He said: “I came to Hangzhou City, and

most of them live there. It’s cheap and clean, the boss is nice, and the food is delicious.”

Yu Tang and Yu Yuan nodded and followed Yu Wen on the Wu Peng boat.

The ship’s maid served them refreshments.

Yu Tang couldn’t hold back, and whispered to Yu Yuan: “The Pei family’s boat should have arrived before us, why didn’t you see it?”

Yu Yuan laughed and teased her: “You don’t mean to look a few more times, then Is it someone else’s boat too? Why, you also care about their boat?”

Yu Tang became angry and said, “Forget it.”

Yu Yuan laughed softly again, and then said: “Most of them are It’s the city you entered from the Wulin Gate.”

Yu Tang was puzzled.

Yu Yuandao: “Xiangji Temple Pier leads to the Taohua River in the inner city. They drove a two-masted boat, so they should have entered the city directly.”

Having a boat at home is comfortable.

Yu Tang pouted.

Yu Yuan pointed to the river houses and weeping willows on both sides of the bank to show her, “Isn’t it beautiful?” The

thin willow leaves hung down on the river surface like blue silk. The roof terrace is drying kohlrabi and bamboo shoots.

Little girls and boys in floral dresses kicked the shuttlecock and danced at the door, and there were merchants who carried the burdens and sold “peanut cakes” and “embroidery scissors”.

“It’s beautiful!” Yu Tang was fascinated.

Yu Yuan said enviously, “It would be great if I could move here, and the business would definitely be easier.”

Isn’t it “people who have left their hometown and are cheap”?

In two lifetimes, Yu Tang never knew that Yu Yuan had such courage.

Is it because the past life was too difficult for him to think about?

Or was it because she was too busy to have a chance to know?

Yu Tang’s smile faded little by little.

Yu Yuan looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait and said excitedly: “When I first came to Hangzhou City with my father, I thought this place was very good, even if it sells a small dried fish, there are more customers than ours. Our place is still too closed, it’s all those people who come and go, all those things that come and go…”

Yu Tang listened quietly and slowly drank a cup of tea.

The Wu Peng boat docked, and there were three to five shops on both sides. The tall facades were either embroidered with gold threads or bordered with silver threads. The pedestrians on the road were mostly silk satin and servants. It’s all bright and bright.

But where is the Ruyi Inn?

When Yu Wen paid the bill, Yu Tang looked around while carrying the burden.

Then there was a big word “Dang” written on one side, and a sign of “Pei Shi” embroidered with gold thread at the bottom was conspicuously printed into her eyes.

Yu Tang was dumbfounded.

Pei’s pawnshop?

Didn’t it say in some imitation benevolence in Shi Yaohe?

Aren’t they going to Xiaohe Royal Street?

So where is she?

Yu Tang hurriedly pulled Yu Wen’s sleeves, pointed to the tricks of the Pei family, and said, “Dad, look!”

Yu Wen, however, was not surprised, smiled and said to her: “Your eyes are quite sharp. It’s the pawnshop of Pei’s family. It’s a pity that the shopkeeper Tong is not here, otherwise I’ll take you to the door.”

Then what are they doing?

Yu Tang opened his eyes.

Yu Wen reacted.

He laughed and said: “Silly girl, the river in front of us is called Shiyao River, and the road we are standing on is called Xiaohe Yudao. The pawnshop of Pei’s house is called Fangrenli. There is no that alley, but from there to us, it is Jishanli. Ruyi Inn, it’s in that alley.”

In other words, they lived behind Pei’s pawnshop.

Yu Tang was angry.

When she arrived in Hangzhou, why did she meet people with the surname Pei everywhere!

Yu Wen thought his daughter’s appearance was very interesting, so he simply pointed to a bookstore next to Pei’s pawnshop and said, “Did you see it? That’s also from Pei’s house. There are also people selling antiques, rouge gouache, and fake bun head flowers. Their shops—Fangrenli, Jishanli, as well as their neighboring Ziwafang and Dingmin residences are all theirs.”

Then where is it not theirs?

Yu Tang said: “Does the third master of the Pei family also live here?”

“How is that possible?” Yu Wen laughed, “their family has other courtyards in Fenghuang Mountain, in Qingbomen, Meijiaqiao, and Mingqing Temple. There is a house. However, since they entered the city from the Xiangji Temple Wharf, they either live in the other courtyard on the side of Phoenix Mountain, or live in the house on the

Meijiaqiao Bridge.” Yu Yuan wondered: “How does my uncle know that? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

Yu Wen said rather proudly: “It was the shopkeeper Tong who told me. According to the shopkeeper Tong, the house over Meijiaqiao and Qingbomen belonged to Mr. Pei himself, and belonged to Pei. What the grandfathers of the third master left him is not the property of the Pei family.”

Yu Yuan was surprised, and said, “Which

family is the old lady of the Pei family ?”

That Wu Yueguo surname Qian.” The

four surnames in Jiangnan, Qian family head.

Yu Yuan said: “Do the grandparents of the third master of the Pei family have no sons?”

“It was said that there was a son who died of illness before he reached the weak crown.” Yu Wendao, “Although he adopted a nephew, half of the family’s property was given to Lao’an as a dowry, and the other half was distributed to grandsons and nephews. When the old grandfather of the Qian family went, the eldest and second masters of the Pei family had already become families, and only the third master of the Pei family was young. The old grandfather of the Qian family was afraid that the third master of the Pei family would suffer when he said that he was kissing, so he left a lot of property to him. ”

Wow!” Yu Yuan said with stars in his eyes, “This is really the emperor’s eldest son, and the people love the youngest son. Master Pei San’s luck is so good!”

“Who said no.” Yu Wen and Yu Yuan said Gossip, “Tong shopkeeper said that there are more than 100 servants in the house on the Meijiaqiao side, and the house on the Qingbomen side is even bigger. Usually no one lives there, and just raising these two houses costs a lot of money. It’s not small. And these expenses are all managed by the third master of the Pei family. It can be seen that the third master of the Pei family still has his own property. But where are these industries? Fang has always suspected that the old master of the Pei family bought private property for the third master of the Pei family…”

Yu Yuan said, “If it were me, I would also doubt it. How old is the third master of the Pei family…”

Anyway, the Pei family is very rich!

Yu Tang was already numb.

She doesn’t want to talk.

When he followed his father and arrived at the Ruyi Inn, Yu Tang didn’t even have any curiosity.

As Xiao Er went directly to her room, she didn’t even look at the Ruyi Inn carefully, and fell asleep on the bed.

It was Yu

Yuan who woke her up: “My uncle said to take us to the night market in Beiguan. You should change your clothes. My uncle said, we will set off in a quarter of an hour.”

Finally got some energy, changed into a magpie robe, wrapped his head, and went out with his father and brother.

It was almost dusk, and they went all the way north, but the number of pedestrians on the road increased instead of decreasing.

Yu Yuan told her, “We are going to Wulin Gate, and the Beimen Night Market is just outside Wulin Gate.”

They won’t meet Pei Yan, will they?

Yu Tang asked, “Is there only one night market in Hangzhou City?”

“There are several night markets in Hangzhou City, but the night market in the North City is the most famous.” Yu Yuan smiled, “Most of the people who come to Hangzhou City will go shopping. However, if you have lived in Hangzhou for a long time, you like to go to the night market on Xiaoheyu Street, where there are fewer people and more expensive things. The Beiguan night market is mostly visited by merchants or people running boats. ” Yu Wen,

who was walking in front, took Yu Yuan’s words when he heard the words: “The main reason is that you haven’t been here. I want you to see it. Girl’s house, I won’t be free now after leaving the cabinet. I can take advantage of this time to go more. Go to as many places as possible. This person, you have to be knowledgeable to have courage. I will take you to the night market on Xiaoheyu Street tomorrow. Let you see the difference between the night markets on both sides.”

Pei Yan People like that, even if they go to the night market, they should go to the Xiaohe Yujie Night Market, right?

Yu Tang became interested and asked his father with a smile, “What’s delicious at the Beiguan Night Market?”

Yu Wen smiled and said, “Guan Sanniang’s grilled fish, Mrs. Wang’s sweet-scented osmanthus rice dumplings, Tang Erzhi’s cooking cakes… Just don’t eat too much.”

Yu Tang said, “Bring your mother here next time!”

Yu Wen smiled and said, “I came here twice when my mother and I were just married. UU reading www.sonicmtl. com Later, your mother was in poor health, so I didn’t dare to take her out. It was you, I was afraid that your mother would be worried, so I wouldn’t take you out very much.” The

three of them chatted and laughed and left the martial arts gate.

Yu Tang didn’t expect that Beiguan Night Market was so far from where they lived, and her feet hurt.

Yu Yuan looked at the crowd that could not be squeezed, and it took him a long time to find a restaurant with a place. He discussed with Yu Wen: “Let’s rest for a while?”

Yu Wen hesitated and whispered, “Such a good business. There aren’t many people in their house, so the food is very bad. Or, let’s walk forward?”

They can’t just sit in other people’s places without ordering, right?

Yu Tang felt the same way, but just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw Pei Yan and Zhou Zijin standing next to the restaurant.
