Chapter 22: I'll Leave It All to You
"This is what you call Zhuangzi?"
Wei Zi looked at the vast land in front of him dumbfounded, and stared at Xie Mengxin in disbelief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Where's the mother-in-law? Where is the mother-in-law sent by your family to guard it? Can there still be people living in this place? ”
Xie Mengxin's eyes kept rolling, and she laughed dryly.
"I haven't been here in a long time, so I don't know what it's like here. As for the guard's mother-in-law, she may have been called back! After all, there's really nothing to see here... bar. ”
Wei Zi gave her a fierce look, and looked back at the corner of Zhuangzi's mouth twitching uncontrollably.
In such a large field, there is only a crumbling thatched hut in the corner, and the rest of the place is almost completely barren.
It's no wonder that the General's Mansion will call the mother-in-law back, this broken ground really makes people not even interested in taking care of it. I don't know what else I can do except build a house to live in.
It's not a question of repairs at all, okay? This place has to be rebuilt.
The thatched hut probably had to be flattened, and it couldn't be used at all. And the strangest thing is that such a big Zhuangzi doesn't even have a courtyard wall, can this be called Zhuangzi?
As soon as Wei Zi walked into the thatched house, he choked on the flying dust and coughed. If you look closely, there are still a lot of fine cobwebs in the corner.
There was not even a single dish in the house, not even a single crockery, just a wooden bed that did not look very sturdy in the thatched house.
Xie Mengxin's face was a little ugly in an instant, although she hadn't paid attention to this Zhuangzi some time ago, she also knew that the mother-in-law who was in charge of her had never returned home. But judging by the dilapidated state of the thatched hut, I'm afraid the woman had never lived here at all.
That's obviously leaving his post without permission, and he doesn't take her as a little master in his eyes at all.
"It doesn't matter if she's here or not, I saw a kid the other day who is very talented. Her mother wants to go with her to the academy to get a job, and when the time comes, let her watch the door. ”
Wei Zi saw Xie Mengxin's solemn expression, and hurriedly pulled her out of the thatched house, "We also have to find a mason and let him build some houses from here." Houses are commonly used and must be sturdy. Your brother gave me a thousand taels of silver two days ago, and I thought I could use it as the money for your shares. ”
"It doesn't matter, you just keep it." Xie Mengxin glanced at Wei Zi in surprise, she already knew what happened that day, and she had no intention of accusing Wei Zi of anything.
Just remembering that Xie Jin's cold face said that Wei Zi was injured, and when he gave compensation, Xie Mengxin really had the idea of laughing at Wei Zi. That is, her simple brother can do this kind of thing, and she can imagine Wei Zi's embarrassment.
Because of the little girl's thin skin, she was embarrassed to spread out this matter.
"It's just that the mother-in-law can't spare her easily, if she lets her go easily, I'm afraid that even the students will be difficult to manage in the future."
Wei Zi didn't have any opinion on this, anyway, this was Xie Mengxin's own family matter, she just listened to it, but she still couldn't interject, otherwise it would be very bad.
"If Doctor Xie wants to find a mason, I know one, and he is not as meticulous as he is in the entire Jinyang City."
The little five sons, who had been following them without saying a word, opened their mouths when they heard that the two of them wanted to find a mason.
"Then you should come and hear it." Xie Mengxin first glanced at Xiao Wuzi before turning back to Wei Zi.
"Xiao Wuzi knows a lot of people, maybe he can really find a suitable person for us!"
Wei Zi nodded and looked at Xiao Wuzi curiously.
"Doctor Xie, Miss Wei, this is really not what my little fifth son wants to brag with you. Our neighbor is a professional mason, but not only the neighbors around him build a house to find him, but also the big family to build a garden. ”
Xiao Wuzi's eyebrows fluttered, as if he admired the person he said.
"In that case, you can bring him in."
Xie Mengxin frowned slightly, and became a little curious about the person Xiao Wuzi was talking about.
Xiao Wuzi sighed, and hurried to the place. Fortunately, this place is not far from his house, but the man is also very busy, so he may not be able to invite him.
Xiao Wuzi hurried all the way to his neighbor's house. The mason was at home at this time, but he was embarrassed after hearing the little five sons' intentions.
"Little Wuzi, it's not that the uncle doesn't take care of you. I'm very tempted when you tell me this, but I can't do it myself! Our proprietor is the one who can draw the drawings for me to build the garden! You said that if you asked me to build two rows like a small farm yard, I could still do it. Like you said, if you want to build an academy, I really can't do it. ”
Xiao Wuzi's delicate face was full of disbelief.
"Didn't you tell me that you were the best mason in Jinyang City? Did you build the gardens of eighty percent of the big families in Jinyang City? ”
The old mason's face turned red and he coughed dryly.
"I built it, but I didn't draw the drawings! Every time, he invited our owner to go, and he came to us after drawing the drawings, so we couldn't go directly. ”
"What about your host?"
Xiao Wuzi had lost hope in this unreliable neighbor uncle, and he only glanced at the mason, and said sarcastically, "Don't tell me, you don't know where he is?" ”
The mason knew that the cowhide he usually spoke and boasted was a bit big, but at this time he really couldn't get round, so he could only nod with a blushing face. Now that the child has been exposed, what attitude can he face in the future with Xiao Wuzi?
Xiao Wuzi nodded helplessly, didn't even want to say polite words, and left the mason's house directly.
He walked down the street dejectedly, not even bothering to take a look at the stalls that he was usually interested in.
"Little Five?"
Wang Hui couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xiao Wuzi, he hurriedly walked over and blocked Xiao Wuzi's way.
"You're not staying in the hospital at this time, where are you going? What about you Dr. Xie? ”
"Wang Hui Gongzi, our Doctor Xie is in the Zhuangzi in the south of the city! I'm just going to find her. ”
Xiao Wuzi saw that it was Wang Hui, although he was still listless, but he still bowed respectfully.
Wang Hui's peach blossom eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he was a little surprised, "What are you doing in Zhuangzi at this time?" Got a visit? ”
Xiao Wuzi thought about it carefully, and made sure that Xie Mengxin hadn't told him that he was not allowed to tell others, so he lowered his head in frustration.
"Dr. Xie wanted to build a house in the village, so he ordered me to find a mason. I didn't expect that the mason could only build, not even draw a drawing. No, I can only go back empty-handed. ”
After hearing this, Wang Hui hammered Xiao Wuzi's chest.
He rolled his eyes, squinted at Xiao Wuzi, and said to him dissatisfiedly, "Don't you know that one of my big hobbies is to draw drawings and build gardens, you have to find me for this kind of thing!" Isn't that much better than if you were looking for someone else? ”
Xiao Wuzi looked at Wang Hui in wonder, he had never heard that this young master had such great ability?
He was not familiar with Wang Hui, but he knew that he was also a young master from a large family, and he was the best friend of Dr. Xie's brother.
Besides, even if he knew about this matter, could he really ask the young master to go with him to build a house?
"What are you doing? Why don't you take me with you? Your Dr. Xie is no different from my own sister, even if she is angry, I will bear it! Don't hesitate here. ”
Xiao Wuzi was most afraid of people saying that he didn't look like a man, so he naturally no longer hesitated when he heard this, and came to Zhuangzi with Wang Hui.
Even if it was far away, Wei Zi could feel the low pressure emanating from Xie Mengxin's body.
She hurriedly retreated a few steps to the side.
Xie Mengxin's teeth were clenched, causing her lips to be tight. His fingers gripped the straps of the skirt vigorously, and he glared at Xiao Wuzi dissatisfied.
"Little Wuzi, don't tell me, this is the mason you brought out from your neighbor's house!"
Xiao Wuzi shrunk his neck, looked at Xie Mengxin anxiously, and didn't dare to speak.
"I asked him to bring me."
Wang Hui stepped forward with a smile and raised his hands slightly.
"Besides, Sister Xin, don't see me having such a big opinion, I should be afraid of you. After all, when you were studying medicine, you didn't prick me with needles. ”
"I'm busy right now, don't make a mess with me." Xie Mengxin glanced at him with disgust, and said to Xiao Wuzi angrily.
"Since that person doesn't come, you go find another one. There are so many masons in Jinyang City, and he doesn't have to be! ”
Xiao Wuzi was about to leave, but was grabbed by Wang Hui, who was quick-eyed, and stared at Xie Mengxin with a smile.
"Don't believe me, let me tell you, you just have to tell me what kind of house you want, and I can make a big estate for you. Guaranteed to look good, so that you can do everything comfortably. You're only focusing on my physical body, and you don't care about what kind of skills I have. ”
Wei Zi was suddenly startled, staring at Xie Mengxin with gossip eyes, and then at Wang Hui. It was the first time since she had traveled to ancient times that she had heard such an astonishing and subtle statement.
"Honestly, you're still a little useful in the flesh." Xie Mengxin glanced at Wang Hui impatiently, wanting to tell Xiao Wuzi to hurry up. But when she glanced at Wang Hui, she quickly turned back and looked at him with a smile.
"Just now, what did you say I wanted, and you could make a big manor for me?"
Wang Hui didn't know that there was a deception, and nodded triumphantly.
"Well, now that you've got it all said, I've got to give you a chance to perform."
Xie Mengxin twisted her thumb and index finger slightly, and glanced at Wang Hui with a sly look.
"Speaking of which, you have such a good relationship with my brother, and I have a good relationship with Cheng Lu, you can finally be regarded as half my brother. My brother helps my sister do something, do you still need money? ”
Wei Zi watched Xie Mengxin blackmail Wang Hui from the side, and was stunned, how else can this thing be done like this?
