Chapter 224
Wang smiled wryly and waved his hands, then heaved a long sigh and said:
"The news I got a few days ago is that I haven't woken up yet. The car you collected should be about what happened to Dongyue and the others in Yizhou. The old lady Pang happened a few years ago, so the letter probably hasn't arrived yet. "

Well, it was her who was behind the news.

An accident happened a year ago, exactly when...it should be before the year, their news is quicker, and it must be better than her.

This is even more worrying.

From Li Hui's letter to the Pang couple, Pang Lao's connivance and pampering to his wife is absolutely beyond imagination.A wife, a wife, is a companion when you get old.In case Mrs. Pang left suddenly, I'm afraid Mrs. Pang... would be hard to accept.

Sensing someone touching her arm, Cheng Xue immediately recovered and stood up.

"I've been bothering you for so long, it's time to go back. Shuren, you are busy, I will come back another day."

"What's the rush? I've already ordered someone to tidy up the plum garden. You can stay here today."

"No, thank you for your kindness, I will come again some other day." Cheng Xue politely declined, "I haven't been to the county for a long time, I have to go to the house in the back street to have a look, otherwise don't worry."

"That's okay, come here when you have time, I'm not fun at home every day."

"Okay, I'll come and bother you when I have time." Cheng Xue responded with a full mouth.

Xiao Wang smiled and sent her to the second gate, and after telling her to "come when you are free", she watched the master and servant go away.

Go back to the house and pick up the things left on the table, and ask:
"Is everything given?"

"Ma'am, don't worry, the second-class panacea you gave is absolutely decent." Mrs. Lu replied.

There are a lot of visitors from wealthy families. In order to prevent some officials from making a fuss about it, they prepare gifts all the year round, commonly known as "panacea".

There are four common balms, namely folding fan, cloth, tea and silver.They are the most common things, and the silver is also determined according to the rank of the official of the main family.

The Xiao family's second-class balm is quite rich, and the folding fans, ingredients, and tea are very particular.And there are more four treasures of study and six enlightenment books.The silver has also multiplied five times, which is 50 taels, and there is also a jade pendant.

In Liangyan, it is not easy to buy officially printed enlightenment books. Most of them are hand-copied, with occasional mistakes and omissions.

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction when she heard the words. Although she didn't know what it was in her hand, the second-class balm was definitely not taking advantage of the Li family.

It's a pity that the slap in the face came so quickly. In Tang Sirong's purse, there was actually a pair of golden hairpins.Apparently, Mrs. Lu did not expect Cheng Xue to be so generous. Although the Dongzhu is not big, it is crystal clear and round, and it is definitely not something to be taken lightly.

"Ma'am, is it too late to make up..."

Wang shi regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have taken a look, so she wouldn't be so passive.

Just as she was thinking about how to remedy the situation, the door opened, and the eldest daughter Xiao Qingwen rushed into the room excitedly.

"Mother, I heard that Wanghe Village is sending green vegetables again? I can make them tonight... Hey, where did you get the pearl hairpin? It's so beautiful."

The 13-year-old age is neither too old nor too young. It is the age of loving beauty and tenderness.

After inserting the pearl hairpin, I went to the bronze mirror, looked left and right, and said:

"Mother, didn't you give me the red envelope for the Chinese New Year? Why are you preparing something for me and my sister?"

There are still two years before she reaches Jiji, so why not give it now.

Xiao Feng came in from the outside, the little girl looked at her father, saluted quickly and said:

"Father is back."

Lu Shi bowed his knees, bowed and stepped back.The Xiao family has an unwritten rule that as long as the male master enters the main house, all the servants are not allowed to stay in the house, but go to guard outside the door.

Seeing his wife frowning with a pearl hairpin in her hand, Xiao Feng wondered and asked:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Wang nodded helplessly, brought the pearl hairpin in front of him, and said:
"Li Hui's daughter-in-law gave it to her. At that time, she took out two items, and I took back one after I reminded her. I didn't expect her to keep the expensive one. Isn't she a country woman? How could she be so generous!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingwen quickly took off the pearl hairpin from her head and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled and inserted the pearl hairpin on his daughter's head.

"Wear it if you like it, and you can't give it back to others. Take this one to your sister and come over when you have dinner."

"Understood, dad." Xiao Qingwen happily took out the pearl hairpin.

Xiao Feng waited for his daughter to leave the house, pulled his daughter-in-law into his arms, and said:
"It's the first time she's begged us to do something, and it's her man involved, so she won't be stingy. I'm afraid the one she put away is more expensive, it should be gold bars."

"what?"

Xiao Feng nodded, lightly scratched the bridge of her nose and said:

"Forgot? Li Hui's ancestor was a member of the fifth rank in the previous dynasty. The fifth rank in the capital is nothing, but the fifth rank in the local area is very lucrative. If they were the ones who took advantage, Qinglin would not be so close to them , if you really feel sorry, send someone to return some gifts tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang felt that this proposal was feasible, so she went out to prepare to return the gift.

Who would have thought that Lu Shi would take the car to the back street the next day, only to be told that Cheng Xue and his party left before dawn.Wang felt helpless when she learned about it. Didn't she agree to "come as soon as you have time"?Why did you leave without making a sound?

After this fight, as long as the family received news, she would copy a copy and order someone to send it to Wanghe Village.Occasionally in Zhaolai County, let him take it back...

……

Cheng Xue was an activist, and after learning that Li Hui and the others were safe, she went to find Wei Laoji.Tell me your request, and wait for him to come up with a picture to discuss the rest.

She can do a simple remodeling of the house, but it is really impossible to draw a house plan, and she has no such ability.

On the fifth day after spring, that is, the 23rd of the first lunar month, Wei Laolan came to Li's house with something.There is a thick stack of papers, there are overall sketches, and detailed drawings of each courtyard, and the materials used are all calculated, which is really not too thoughtful.

"...It's roughly like this. With earth dragons, you won't suffer in the winter house. If your family has this condition, I think it's better to reserve it."

Listening to the old man's explanation and looking at the picture, it is clear at a glance.The foundation was laid last year, and it is not easy to draw a picture on that foundation.

Sure enough, professional things need to find professional people.

Regardless of the fact that Wei's family runs a tofu workshop, anyone in the village will ask him to build a house, draw pictures, use materials, and do the calculations.

Cheng Xue nodded in satisfaction.

"It still has to be Uncle Wei. I'm really worried about handing over this job to someone else."

After saying that, Yu Niang put the prepared two slings of money and materials on the table.

"Hey, you need materials. If you agree, two dongs of money are two dongs of money. You can't break the rules."

"What's the rule!" Cheng Xue shook her head, "Don't be polite to me. Although my place is big, the foundation has been dug. On this basis, you must have spent a lot of time, and you should."

"That's not going to take that much."

"Just take it. By the way, Uncle Wei, go back and tell Shengli's wife, how many piglets are there in Kaichun, I will take it with Wubin's wife."

"Hey, yes, yes." Wei Laolan was no longer polite, collected money and materials, got up and left.

Cheng Xue handed over the drawings to Li Zhong, and only waited for the ground to be broken and the house to be built after the weather warmed up...
