Chapter 227: Arrived in Qingzhou 2
“We’ve arrived.” Heir Pei smiled at the sight of her improper behavior.
Qi Qingyao hurriedly woke up the children. She then opened the carriage curtains and looked out at the scene outside.
The prosperous market, the flourishing population, were all far beyond Qi Qingyao’s imagination.
There were easily several kinds of shops lined up row by row!
The tallest one had four floors and looked very impressive.
There were several high-rises in the distance, which looked to be the landmarks of Qingzhou City! They seemed to have nine stories to them at first glance. However, the name of the towers was not known. They looked strangely eye-catching.
It was probably because they had arrived at a relatively prosperous commercial street that there were no pop-up stalls on either side of the road. It was very clean!
From the looks of how the pedestrians dressed, this street seemed to be the posher and richer street in Qingzhou City.
Qi Qingyao thought, ‘It seems that this place is the wealthier street in Qingzhou City.’
She turned her head and asked Heir Pei, “What is the name of this street?”
“Longshou Street.” Heir Pei had also raised the curtain to look at the scenery outside; he was filled with emotion. For the past two years, he had been recuperating in the mansion in Baishui Town, basically just lying down at all times. He did not even move around the house much, let alone go to Qingzhou City!
For this gorgeous yet chaotic casino city, he still felt quite… nostalgic about it.
Qi Qingyao said with awe, “This name is domineering.”
The children also nodded, agreeing with their mother’s words.
It was indeed domineering.
Heir Pei noted her innocent tone. “This is the Eastern District, which is more prosperous. Let’s go to my residence first and take a rest. Everyone must be tired after sitting in the carriage for most of the day.”
“It’s time to get some rest, get out of the carriage and stretch,” Qi Qingyao said with a smile.
The children’s gazes had been fixed outside; they were all looking around like curious newborns. The children had never seen so many beautiful houses and shops in their lives and their eyes widened like eggs as they stared eagerly. To be precise, the three pairs of round eyes were so excited that they did not even know which way to look.
After a while, the carriage went to the residential area from the commercial area. After seeing the large, bluestone brick streets with long walls on both sides, Qi Qingyao stretched her neck, trying hard to look past the walls. However, she could not see anything. She could only see a few trees peeking out faintly.
Qi Qingyao was shocked.
“D*mn, what is this place? How are there so many lavish mansions!”
“This is the residential area of the Eastern District. They are all residences of some retired court officials or other, so the houses are more pompous-looking. However, many of these houses were not built over the past few years. Some buildings have been passed down for at least one hundred years!” Heir Pei explained as he looked at Qi Qingyao in a very puzzled manner.
He could not fathom her reaction. She was the one who had gotten others to build that kind of building in the village.
A person who could build such awesome buildings was actually surprised at these modest houses.
While these houses were big, their craftsmanship was just…very ordinary!
However, looking at her surprised expression, she did not seem to be pretending. Her eyes were sincere; they were just… as cute and innocent as the three little ones!
Heir Pei was a little confused.
Li Qing suddenly knocked on the door of the carriage and said, “Lord Heir, the head of the Lu family informed us that he has arrived and that he will part ways with us first.”
Heir Pei gave a short reply.
Qi Qingyao was startled. Pointing at the house with the super-long walls next to her, she said in shock, “F*ck? What’s with this situation? That house just now belongs to Lu Yan?” From the looks of it, it was not small at all.
“He’s the Senluo Chamber of Commerce’s head of house. Naturally, his house would be huge,” said Heir Pei.
The carriage continued moving forward. Qi Qingyao gazed at the gates in the distance as she laid against the window of the carriage. She pressed her lips together and sighed. “How much does his house even cost?”
