Chapter 27

Shao Shang leaned against the carriage window, lifted the curtain with one hand and pressed the veil with the other, and kept looking out—this was a new habit she had recently developed. No matter where she went, she had to watch all the way that she had not travelled before, so she was not empty in her heart.

Fortunately, at this time, the women are not restrained by the folk customs, but the annoying thing is that the road is not good: the loess road is stable, but it is hateful that the wind and sand hit the face; the stone road is clean, but it has to be bumpy all the way. Alas, she misses asphalt and cement.

Cheng Cha, who was sitting across from her, looked at her and was slightly lost.

She heard Clover say that it was the first time that the brothers took Niaoniao to go out. They did not go to the noisy and prosperous square market or the splendid palace city. Worked for several days. Every day, Wei Xi went out, and only returned when she was holding the lantern. On the last day, her aunt was about to get angry again, so she held back.

"...Cousin, do you know?" Shao Shang suddenly turned her head back from the window and said with a full smile, "When building a capital city, one must look at the topography of one mountain, two waters and three terrains. The terrain is flat and majestic." It is better to have a narrow front and back, so that it is convenient for troops to store food and multiply the population.

Seeing that she was excited like a child, Cheng Cha smiled and said, "It's not just the capital city, you will come and see outside the capital city, and you will know that all the fortresses built by noble families are like this."

Shao Shang looked envious: "There is no Wubao in our family, and father just rebuilt the ancestral house of the old family." So far, the Cheng family is also an old and wealthy landowner who is an official. In fact, I think that it is superficial to use numbers to evaluate those families simply and rudely, and there are many marginal factors that have not been taken into account.

Shao Shang made a playful face towards Cheng Cha and continued to lean out the window.

Overlooking this magnificent capital city, it is a vertical rectangle with a thick city wall towering into the clouds on all sides from east, west, north and south, with more than a dozen city gates unevenly distributed. So far, she has not left the city gate.

The Cheng family made a fortune late, just like the family house, the most central and lively place has been occupied by other families. The Cheng family warehouse is almost close to the city wall. The city walls are strenuous.

The establishment of this warehouse is naturally Mrs. Xiao's idea. The Cheng family has a small number of people, and many of the captured gifts accumulated at home are in vain. It is better to sell them to the shops to make a profit; and according to the rise and fall of prices, you can stock up on some cloth, firewood, and charcoal in advance. Simply put, it is for hair, hoarding, and transit.

The two female children of the main family came to count the goods again. The warehouse manager was naturally very respectful, opened the four connecting doors in the front, and led more than ten servants to wait aside, just like the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the shampoo shop at the end of the town.

Cheng Cha's face turned blue, and Alfalfa wished she could carry her whole body out of the carriage, but Cheng Cha didn't want to fall into the majesty of Mrs. Xiao, so she forced herself to get out of the carriage. The steward took it to the back to order the goods. Shao Shang didn't care about this much, her small body was just raised, but she couldn't make any mistakes, so she sat down in the front hall to take a breath, served by Lianfang.

After taking a few mouthfuls of warm buttermilk mixed with shredded ginger, Shao Shang calmed down and looked around.

In the centre of the front hall of this warehouse, a huge square earthen stove was built, which radiated heat into the house, and Shao Shang sat on the head alone. Look at the left side, seven or eight warehouse servants are sitting in a row, with a gloomy expression, and then look at the right side, the servants who accompanied the mansion are sitting in a row, and they are very emotional. She was so happy in her heart that she would not do this ostentatious student council president!
