When the ship arrived in Hangzhou, General Liang took the officers and soldiers away, and Mrs.
Qu arranged for people to move things.
Yutong looked through the curtains to see the lively scene at the dock.
This place was busier than Yizhou.
There were people coming and going on the pier, some were pulled by people, and some were driven by people.
Looking from a distance, the water surface is sparkling.
Hangzhou is a famously prosperous place.
The clothes of people walking on the street are better than those of the people in Yizhou.
There is an endless stream of hawkers, and there are also shirtless porters carrying poles and waiting for business.
There are many snacks on the street, such as sweet-scented osmanthus soup, Dingsheng cake, and fish soup, which dazzles everyone.
Zhang Gui was more interested in the scenery of Hangzhou.
The warm breeze and the green lake water drifted by in the wind.
In Zhang Gui's eyes, he was stunned.
Zhang Zhao is afraid that Zhang Gui will be addicted to Wenwen Township.
Although the scenery is beautiful, don't be addicted.
He ordered Zhang Gui to stay behind and escort the things, while he took the master and his female relatives to the government office first.
The government office is extremely beautifully built.
In front is the office gate, and large red-painted pillars stand on both sides of the court hall, making it look majestic and domineering.
Behind is where their family lives.
There are two halls near the central axis.
To the south is the prison, which is accompanied by the government office.
Mrs.
Qu saw that there were two small courtyards here, so she gave her two daughters a courtyard each.
Aunt Mao and Aunt Xia lived in a wing next to the verandah, with the two aunts sharing a courtyard.
After all, the aunt is not as good as the girls.
Yutong and Yujia are masters, and the aunt can only be regarded as half a master.
Even Aunt Xia and Aunt Mao can't say bad about Qu's arrangement.
The official schools in Hangzhou Prefecture are very good.
Zhang Gui doesn't have to go far away to study as before.
This is an unexpected blessing.
Yutong helped Qu with the housework, cleaning the house, and cleaning the boxes.
Many housekeeping experiences were learned by Qu.
She only knew a little bit about Yurou, but she taught her everything to her daughter.
Even how to read red deeds, white deeds, and household marriage laws, Yutong must be familiar with these.
Because Mr.
Hao did not follow, Yutong only needs to learn the rules and follow the housekeeper now.
Although Aunt Zhu is a leader in rules, she grew up in the palace after all.
In fact, many people's ways of life may not be understood by Qu.
I heard that the previous magistrate of Hangzhou was transferred because of poor handling of water transportation.
Zhang Zhao devoted himself to meeting people from all walks of life as soon as he arrived.
Being an official is not just about being aloof.
You must understand the people's sentiments, know people and make good use of them, and you must be smart. , others will surrender to you.
When newcomers arrive in the local area, it is customary for local officials to greet them.
Among them is General Shang Jia of Hangzhou who sent a note.
General Hangzhou is a military attaché of the third rank, and he also has the title of viscount.

It is said that he has just been in Hangzhou for a year.
Mrs.
Qu's whole family went there this time.
She usually dressed very lightly, but today she was also dressed up.
She wore a floor-length dress with patterns of flying birds, and Muxiang had a Yaotai bun with her, as if she were a concubine in the moon palace.
Several years younger.
Yutong looked at her mother with a smile: "Mom looks really good today."
Yujia also said with envy: "Madam, this Yaotai bun is so beautiful."
"Little girl, when your hair grows long, ask Osmanthus to comb it for you."
Mrs.
Qu looked at her lovingly.
Although Zhang Zhao was indifferent to his little daughter, he was happy to see Mrs.
Qu being so kind.
Zhang Gui doesn't look like the scholar he used to be.
A green shirt is enough.
Today he tied his hair with a gold crown and wore a round-neck robe made of leather and silk embroidered with gold thread.
His waist was tied with jade pendants, which made him fragrant.
He carried all kinds of things in his bag and held a snow-white fan in his hand, making him look like a wealthy young man.
Aunt Xia waited on Mrs.
Qu and then turned back.
When she saw Aunt Mao looking at her with a half-smile, she looked down at her feet and quickly returned to her room.
Originally, Zhang Zhao was designed to find someone to rely on for the rest of his life.
After entering the house, he would put his tail between his legs and win the favor of the wife's grandmother, so that Zhang Zhao would also have a better impression of her.
This would also give Yujia more leverage when she gets married in the future.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao was still indifferent to his daughter.
Of course, Mrs.
Qu would not care about Aunt Xia's voice, and Mrs.
Qu didn't completely believe her.
In terms of means, she could stand out among the many daughters of Duke Qu's family and was raised by her eldest mother.
Moreover, the Duke's family treated her quite favorably after they got married for so many years.
Taking care of her proves that she is not an ordinary person.
Yutong and Yujia were discussing how to salute.
They arrived before they finished talking, because the government offices were all in the same area and were not far apart.
The Shang family also invited family members of local officials to come over today.
It can be seen that the Shang family has a strong foundation, at least it is much better than Yutong's family.
Looking at the glass greenhouse at the entrance of his house, there are many out-of-season flowers in it.
Yutong had heard before that it would cost at least several thousand taels to build such a greenhouse, which was a sky-high price.
As soon as they entered the second gate, they immediately changed into sedan chairs.
This kind of style had never been seen in Yizhou.
Yutong and Yujia were both a little nervous and worried that they would not perform well.
After getting off the sedan chair, the ladies of the Shang family came to greet her.
They were all very enthusiastic.
These people couldn't help but look up at the Qu family in front of them.
It's not that he behaves like a petty person, after all, he comes from Qu Guogong's house.
Looking at the two girls following her, I couldn't help but be stunned.

The older girl wore a fishbone braid, her hair was tied back, and she was decorated with some pearls.
She was very steady in her movements.
This girl was not that old.
Although she still has baby fat on her face, she will definitely look different when she grows up, especially those almond-shaped eyes that look forward to the sky.
The younger one is even more beautiful.
She also wears fishbone braids.
Unlike her sister, she already shows her extraordinary beauty.
But even so, the eldest girl stood next to her sister and still looked good.
The woman secretly thought that such stunning beauty was rare in Hangzhou, and she didn't know what great fortune she would have when she grew up.
After entering the door, a big girl led them forward, and Mrs.
Qu gave them a reward.
Then they entered the flower hall, where people were already talking, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
General Shang's wife, Princess Fuxi, is the sister of Prince Xin, the son of a dragon and a grandson of a phoenix, so she is naturally very arrogant.
When I saw Mrs.
Qu, she was just polite and not very enthusiastic.
Unlike her mother, Shang Wei, the daughter of the Lord of Fuxi County, was a very generous and generous person.
She first took Sister Yutong into the inner hall.
The girls inside all came forward to salute, and they got along better than the ladies from Yizhou.
Shang Wei introduced Yutong one by one, and Yutong also asked the girl to bring out her own gifts: "We sisters just came from Yizhou, so we brought some small gifts.
I hope you like them."
Yutong spoke.
Taking Yujia with her, she smiled and looked at her sister with a look of attachment.
Although Aunt Xia was very kind to her, she didn't have enough status and didn't dare to really care about her like a mother, so in Yujia's heart she still relied more on her sister.
There is a landscape painting inside an exquisite pine box, and each person's painting is different, and the work is particularly exquisite.
The girl's family loves these things very much.
For example, the one for Shang Wei is a girl dressing up on the mirror.
Even the clothes the little girl is wearing are Sichuan brocade.
The small dressing mirror is also the same as in the boudoir.
It was decorated by Yutong herself and let the craftsmen Made.
Some girls have a garden with small artificial flowers in it.
The girl likes it so much that her face turns red.
Some girls got a famous pavilion in Yizhou.
There was Qingcheng Mountain next to the pavilion, and there was a small martial arts secret book inside.
This gift suited the girls' wishes very well.
One girl said: "My uncle once gave my brother a walnut boat.
It has the same purpose but the same purpose."
The speaker was the daughter of the Hangzhou Defense Lieutenant, and she also held a third-grade official position.
Judging from her young age, she spoke calmly and calmly, and was also very knowledgeable.
Even if a lady from a place like Hangzhou is so extraordinary, let alone one from the capital, Yutong doesn't dare to underestimate her.
The ladies all spoke well, which made Yutong quite aware of the crisis.
She originally said she didn't want to hire a teacher, but she didn't expect everyone to be so outstanding.
The daughter of a wealthy family does not necessarily need to be educated, but if her knowledge is too poor, she will not be able to stand on the stage.
The girls chatted for a while, and then Mrs.
Shang sent someone to invite the girls to the flower hall for dinner.
Shang Wei upheld the mentality of a host and took special care of the newcomers.

Besides, the two girls from the Zhang family were also born special. nice.
The Shang family's dishes are particularly delicious, and they say they invited famous chefs from Jiangning to come over.
The salted duck in particular is outstanding.
Yutong sincerely praised: "Originally, I thought the food here was too bland.
We brought a lot of chili sauce here from Yizhou.
In fact, when I eat it now, I feel that every dish has its own characteristics and is delicious.
I feel sorry for my family.
Half the warehouse is filled with chili sauce.”
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed when they heard what she said.
In fact, in this era, all ladies are reluctant to go out easily.
Most people just carry their children directly from their mother's house to their husband's house, and spend their whole lives like that.
Very boring a lot of the time.
Sure enough, as soon as Yutong spoke, a girl answered: "Oh, I love spicy food.
If I can, I will definitely try it in the future."
The young girls all started talking quickly.
Of course, there were also those who were not familiar with each other and could say a few words.
As the host, Shang Wei was also very happy to hear Yutong's praise.
Yujia couldn't drink the soup, so Shang Wei asked the girl to help serve it.
Yutong and Yujia were very happy to finish the feast.
Mrs.
Qu is also quite sociable, and she soon became close to the mother of the girl who talked about the walnut boat earlier.
The head of Fuxi County also asked his daughter Shang Wei how she felt about the two new sisters.
"I think the older one is a bit competitive, and the younger one is very flirtatious.
You just have to keep your face."
Shang Wei said, "Sister Yutong is just a little impatient, but that's nothing else.
Although Yujia looks like that, she is also very well-behaved."
The head of Fuxi County also knew that his daughter had always been kind, so he told her: "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts.
Don't be deceived." gd1806102:
