383 Shantang
Xie Luan did not hesitate to Bai Qiluo's presence at all, so he took the letter apart and read it.
After seeing it, his face was filled with joy and said happily, "This is really a pair of good things. The news I just got here is that my elders sent to the capital to pick up my uncle and sister-in-law, who are now only two days away from Xi'an. By the day after tomorrow, they will arrive. By then, when Bai and the son of the Li family have also arrived, we will go to the mountain to have a lot of leisure and enjoy a few days."
The next day, when the sun was not too fierce, Xie Luan was indeed as promised, called Bai Qiluo and Li Jiale, and took a carriage to her chariot in the west of the city.
The other girls in the Li family are still young, but they don’t have any friends.
There were only two carriages in total, one was the first, Xie Luanyin, Bai Qiluo and Li Jiale, and the other one was the maids and women who were accompanied by several people. Although they were accompanied by guards, they were all traveling casually. Even the carriages they were riding in were just ordinary people's standards.
Bai Qiluo and Li Jiale looked at each other and realized that although Mrs. Qi did not say that she wanted to hide her eyes, she was unwilling to be too high-profile.
As she headed west to the city, Xie Luanyin was chatting with two little girls, but she talked about the fact that she had seen a Western self-ringing bell. Every time it was on time, the cuckoo in the clump would pop up, which was very interesting.
Although these two little girls are a few years younger than Xie Luanyin, who is the Bai family in southern Fujian? Not to mention the sound of the bells in the West, they are not uncommon for glass products, tortoiseshell glasses, dioramas that are taller than others, and other rare Western objects.
After hearing this, Bai Qiluo smiled and said, "It's a thing at her home. It's much easier to get these rare things in southern Fujian than in the north. If the wife is really interested, she can write it to her home and ask someone to help her find it. If she agrees, she will send it to Xi'an to Xie Luanyin.
Xie Luan was naturally happy after hearing this, but she said that no matter how much the price, she paid.
The Bai family helped her find out, but she would definitely not have shortened their price.
Bai Qiluo refused several times, but Xie Luan insisted on it, but Bai Qiluo refused, so Bai Qiluo had to reluctantly agree.
But in this way, the relationship between the two became closer inexplicably.
Li Jiale saw it and waited for Xie Luanyin, and he also had two points of intimacy and respect.
After about half an hour of hiking the carriage, it finally entered the boundary of the west of the city.
On the way, they seemed to have passed by the downtown area.
Only a few of them understand the rules and are not so curious about the outside world. At that time, they were talking again, so they did not open the curtain to take a look.
When the excitement was left far behind and the carriage gradually slowed down, they felt something, and this kind of chariot would be coming.
Isn't it? After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage slowly stopped.
Xie Luan picked up the curtain and looked out, "It must have been here."
Li Jiale was younger and his temperament was not as calm as Bai Qiluo. He heard this and said curiously, "I heard from my wife, I am just like my cousin and I. Is it the first time I come back?"
"Yes! In my eyes, this Shantang matter is just two books. One is spent, and it is already a full account book. There are a lot of money spent. Not to mention the details, I remember all the large amounts of money in my heart. The other is the income from Shantang. Unfortunately, so far, it is still a white book, which is much easier and is familiar to me."
Xie Luan laughed at herself with two points and was not embarrassingly because of her joking tone. While talking, she took Liuying's hand and got off the carriage first.
Bai Qiluo and Li Jiale naturally followed quickly.
The group of people dismounted and got off the bus, and they all stood in front of the gate of the Shantang.
Lianlong naturally had the instructions long ago. This morning, he didn't even enter the inner courtyard of Qi Mansion, so he came to this Shantang directly. Now, he was waiting outside the gate of Shantang.
Seeing Xie Luanyin, he stepped forward and first greeted Bai Qiluo and Li Jiale, and then he gently supported Xie Luanyin from left to right.
Xie Luan was looking up at the plaque hanging above his head, with the words "Deshan" on it. If you want to say how beautiful it is, you can't say it is, but you are so upright and generous. He nodded and said, "Is this the ink treasure given by Lord Zhao?"
"Yes! A few days ago, someone from Lord Zhao's mansion came to him and personally sent the plaque to hang it."
Xie Luanyin nodded again, with a faint expression and didn't care much.
Zhao Bolun is too good at picking up cheap things. She is the one she wants to do, but as long as it is done well, it can help him solve some problems. He doesn't have to contribute money and efforts, and can achieve political achievements. Why don't he do it? He is really a good plan for using a plaque to exchange for someone to work for him without any reward.
However, she had to do this, no matter whether it could be used by Zhao Bolun or not. So she simply didn't think about the things that would make her uncomfortable. However, with the plaque of Zhao Bolun, the official appearance should be better, and there may not be no place to borrow light in the future.
Thinking of this, Xie Luan became much more at ease, and she supported Lianlong and Liuying to cross the threshold.
Bai Qiluo and Li Jiale followed closely behind.
At first glance, this Shantang is just a very ordinary courtyard. When I stepped into the door, I realized that the courtyard was just ordinary, but it was just a house that had been expanded several times. The typical northern house style was like the slums in the old Beijing Hutong.
Most of the houses are not newly built, but after buying this piece of land, what can be used will be renovated and what cannot be used will be renovated.
There are still more places to spend money in the future, so what should be spent will naturally be spent. Xie Luanyin hopes that every article can be spent on the blade.
But if you want to say it is ordinary, this courtyard is not ordinary.
As soon as I entered the door, I could see ragged men, women, young and old secretly watching them from all over the place. Fortunately, they were all clean. Although they were curious and restrained, they just peeked and didn't dare to come up. It was still a rule.
It seems that Lianlong spent all his time in Deshan Hall, so it was not in vain.
"Has these people been registered?" Xie Luanyin asked while looking around.
"Everyone who comes to Deshan Hall, as explained by the wife, his hometown, age, and who else is good at home, is registered one by one. The wife is pleased for the time being. So far, the people who are in Deshan Hall are mostly orphans of war and some of them have indeed fled from the south, but most of them have escaped a few years ago. There are only some old, weak, women and children left along the way."
In fact, they could see clearly and clearly along the way.
The people sheltered in this Deshan Hall are really old, weak, sick and disabled.
