It's been six years, looking at the lively situation in front of him, Jiang Anyi can't help but be in a trance, the scene in his memory is plausible, his hometown is timid, and he is worried in his heart.

The mountains are full of flowers, and the air is filled with the fragrance of people, which attracts the little girls in the carriage to cheer and scream, and they want to jump off the carriage immediately and run to the flowers to play. Zhang Yi also lost his books, and squeezed into the car window with his sister to look out, and even Zhang Qin's couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the clouds full of mountains in the distance.

Compared with six years ago, the town has expanded a lot, with many shops, busy traffic on the avenue, and the four-car parallel road will be blocked from time to time, Huang Zhu sighed: "This Pingshan Town is much more lively than Xinqi County." ”

The old man passing by next to him smiled: "Young man, it's the first time I came to Pingshan Town, haven't you heard of 'Little Xinqi County, Big Pingshan Town', this Pingshan Town has played Jiang Zhuangyuan, one day at a time, you see that most of the merchants in the South China Sea and North are here to buy wine, if it weren't for the perfume not to be taken out, I'm afraid it would be several times more lively." ”

Jin Yuye became the fifth wine, burning knives are exported to Saiwai, Pingshan liquor branches all over the north and south of the river, Pingshan Town is the birthplace of Pingshan bamboo art, now the folding fan is imitated everywhere, but an authentic Pingshan Town produced by the folding fan is still the favorite of the literati and ink writers, if the words and sentences of Jiang Cixian are written on it, it will be more elegant.

The annual output of perfume is 60,000 bottles, 30,000 bottles in the Yongchang Imperial Capital, and 30,000 bottles in Huiye Prefecture, and there is no other way. There are a lot of counterfeiters, because they don't know that the key is that the liquor has been distilled many times and can't be concocted that effect, and the background of the perfume industry is hard enough, countless gluttony? I could only watch the Jiang family go back and swallow the silver.

A bottle of perfume is hard to find, the price is expensive, the ladies and ladies can only settle for the second, the original Jiang Huayan's game effect of the crudge made of rouge has become a hot commodity, this rouge is not only colorful, but also exudes a fragrance that is no different from perfume, limited to a small output, ten taels of silver per can is still priceless. Some people with good eyes have collected the rouge refined from flower dregs and soaked it into perfume, and the fragrance is much lighter. I don't know when this kind of eau de toilette became popular on the market, and it can be sold for forty taels of silver a bottle.

After Yan'er eloped, the rouge industry was taken over by Lu Zhen, who was careful and strictly controlled the sales of rouge, making there many fewer fake perfumes on the market. Lu Zhen is already in the prime of life, married with Shi (He Xigui) four years ago, gave birth to a son in the second year of Jianwu, Zhang Keji named his grandson He Huaide, thinking that the little baby and little girl of the year have become parents, Jiang Anyi can't help but sigh that time is like electricity.

Although he is far away in Huazhou, Jiang Anyi often learns the news of his hometown from the population of Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, Xinqi County has been promoted from Xia County to Zhong County, the original Wang County Order has been promoted to another place, and the current county master Yu Ming is a native of Lizhou.

The reputation of the small Xinqi County is outstanding, and there are two great big people, Yu Zhijie, the head of the household department and Jiang Anyi, the new governor of Huazhou, who was the new governor of the fourth year of Jianwu, made a special trip to Xinqi County to visit the Yu brothers, and then went to Pingshan Town to visit the Jiang Huang family. Xinqi County's tax is a Texas state, and the Texas tax is going to go up the ladder, and the assassin Shi wants to learn to be promoted to the state, so he has to count on Dianpingshan Town.

Yu, Jiang, and Guo joined hands to do business, and the three naturally became pivotal figures in Xinqi County and even Texas, and the Yu and Jiang families did not say that the Guo family had no power but was rich enough to rival the country, everyone knew that the third master of the Guo family and Jiang Tingshi were like brothers, and Jiang Tingshi was a student of Yu Shangshu, and the three families were intertwined and affected by the whole body. Guo Haiqing Guo is getting fatter and fatter, smiling and frolicking all day long like Maitreya descending to earth, and wherever he goes, it is also enviable, those classmates who have studied with Jiang Anyi in the county school have been scolded by their families, if they can make incense back then, the Jiang family will be able to sew out their fingers casually, and it will be enough for several generations to have worry-free clothes.

One person has ascended to heaven, the Huang family is the fourth largest family in Xinqi County, Huang Sanye once said arrogantly after being drunk, he can call for wind and rain in Xinqi County, and stomp his legs The entire Xinqi County will tremble, and the listeners think so. As for the relatives, they are implicated in a big net, and the entire Xinqi County is covered in it.

Zhang Keji is hidden behind the scenes, with an annual expenditure of nearly 200,000 taels, quietly building the Jiangjia Houzhai into an iron bucket-like place, and the Houzhai is constantly expanding according to his concept, standing on a high place can find the gossip of the Nine Palaces, and unfamiliar people must get lost when they enter it, and those seemingly ordinary buildings hide murderous opportunities, and they naturally don't know when they are not used.

Over the years, Zhang Keji has recruited a lot of orphans and handed them over to his son-in-law He Xigui to practice according to military law. Jiang Huang didn't know what Mr. Zhang was going to do, but she believed that Mr. Zhang must have a reason for doing so, and Yi'er said in the letter that he would let Mr. Zhang do it.

The beautiful scenery of Pingshan Town has attracted a lot of literati to come to buy houses and build houses, the town of 700 people has now exceeded 2,000 households, if it is not easy to buy land, this number will go up, look at the trend in less than ten years Pingshan Town will be connected with the neighboring villages, so that Pingshan Town is promoted to Pingshan County The call has been heard from time to time.

Those who sold their old houses and moved to live in the county regretted that the three small thatched huts could be exchanged for forty taels of silver, which looked like a beautiful thing that could not be found with lanterns, but now five hundred taels of silver can not be exchanged, even if they rent their thatched huts to tourists, they can save twenty or thirty taels of money a year.

For ordinary people, having money is to buy land and build houses, but the wasteland and mountains and forests near Pingshan Town have long been bought by the Jiang family, and if they want to buy it, they will get other villages, and the key is that the land price in other villages is not cheap, and the original wasteland of 200 wen and 1 mu has increased by 50 times, 1021 acres. Those who stayed behind saw their houses change from shacks to brick and wood houses, and the children no longer had to chop wood and herd cattle, but went to private schools to study and progress.

There are two holy places in Pingshan Town, one is Anlong Temple thirty miles away, the largest Zen temple in the south of the Yangtze River, and the holy place of Buddhism. Although Master Hongxin has returned to Mingpu Temple, people are famous, not to mention the four magical Anlong tea trees in the back mountain. A quarter of these four tea trees became offerings, a quarter for Mingpu Temple, a quarter for the Jiang family, and the remaining quarter became the treasure of Anlong Temple.

There is also a place that is the champion archway of the three yuan and the first, all year round it is indispensable for the reader to come to watch, admire, motivate themselves, dip a little luck or good, so that the champion wine in the champion shop not far from the archway sells hotly. At that time, the small hotel on the side of the road has become a big restaurant with blue bricks and red pillars, and the shopkeeper Mingzi has become the shopkeeper of Ming, every time he arrives at the meal, the shopkeeper of Ming always has to show up to tell a story of the drunken poetry of Jiang Zhuangyuan, and talk about the brother of the champion, Jiang An Yongjiang, General Jiang is drunk and shows his drunken fist, if he meets the shopkeeper of Ming, he is drunk to five points, and he can also listen to the story of three or two sentences about the gift of the mountain god in his mouth.

The story of strolling through Pingshan Town to find the champion has become the interest of the literati and ink writers after dinner, and many people are ready to compile a book of "Pingshan Zhiwei", with the help of Jiang Cixian's fame in Shilin, it will definitely be able to sell well, but I am afraid that Jiang Xian will not like it, and it is not beautiful to shoot the horse's legs.

The small square in the center of the town has remained in its original state, the polder market in the past has long ceased to exist, and the bamboo baskets woven by the Jiang Huang family are carefully kept, and some people will whisper to you that there is an aura in the mountain bamboo forest behind Jiang Zhuangyuan, and they have secretly dug bamboo shoots on the mountain to eat, which are much sweeter than those elsewhere.

The old man in the town swore that Zhuang Yuanlang was standing in the square under the wind and rain back then, and the golden light protected his body so that people couldn't open their eyes, and it was definitely the stars in the sky that came down to earth, no wonder Grandpa Lei had no way to take him. Occasionally, a woman will sigh and sigh, when Zhuangyuanlang almost became her son-in-law, but unfortunately her daughter is blessed and has no eyes.

Jiang Anyi walked in with the flow of people, and was secretly relieved to see the bluestone archway from a distance, and the memory came back when he walked here, and the two big locust trees surrounded by the stone fence were the big trees at the head of the village before, and they had shrunk in the town at this time.

The more people walked forward, Jiang Anyi jumped off the charcoal and led the horse forward, the old horse knew the way, the charcoal obviously remembered this, snorted excitedly, and led Jiang Anyi to the door of the house not far away. In the past six years, the slight whiskers on the lips are now inches long under the chin, and the hometown pronunciation has not changed, and the villagers no longer know it, only the familiar brown fragrance is still familiar.

With the change of official position, the door of the house has also changed accordingly, Jiang Anyi is also the first time to see his own family according to the four-grade official re-repaired gate, according to the "Da Zheng Law", the four-grade official "door three, three, black oil, tin ring, step five, drum stone", has completely changed, only the small elm tree planted along the wall when the person was lifted has the thickness of the bowl, the pavilion is like a cover.

Standing in front of the door, Jiang Anyi remembered the first time he saw the eight-character gatehouse in front of the Yufu Gate, the one-word gable on the top of the hard mountain, the stone carving at the main gate, the tiles on the wall, and the wood carving of the dougong, and he clearly remembered that the words "light lintel" flashed in his mind at that time. More than ten years have passed, and I have achieved these four words, and my own family is not the first in Xinqi in front of Yu Shi, but one day I will make the Jiang family the first in Xinqi and even in Texas.

The gatekeeper obviously didn't know the Jiang family's uncle, watching a row of carriages and horses stop in front of the house, dozens of little girls chattering out of the car, a little strange, this group of people did not look like businessmen in the business field, nor like the guests who came to visit. Seeing Jiang Anyi stepping up, the gatekeeper didn't dare to make a mistake, and politely arched his hand: "This gentleman, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Jiang Anyi felt both funny and sad, his parents are not far away, which mother doesn't want her children to be by her side, she owes her mother too much, this time when she goes home, she must accompany her mother.
