Five days later, Chu Yingzhi personally went to Xixiang Village to deliver a letter: "The owner, the horse shed has been built, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

"Yes!" Yue Xi smiled and nodded, looking at Chu Yingzhi's black and thin but much stronger body, she knew that they were really working hard these days.

"Lao Chu, hard work!" She said sincerely: "When the veterinarian and Jinniang come back, I will personally cook and fry a few good dishes, and our family will get together!" ”

"Okay." Chu Yingzhi smiled and nodded, and followed her out of the courtyard, there was a carriage waiting outside, and he nodded at Feng Jizong, who was standing next to the carriage.

Feng Jizong looked at Chu Yingzhi expressionlessly, without saying anything.

"No matter how this surnamed Feng looks, everyone looks like a thief!" As soon as he got into the carriage, Chu Yingzhi muttered in a low voice.

"Sensei take care of him." Yue Xi also whispered: "He sees my virtue as if I owe him silver!" ”

Feng Jizong, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, listened to the conversation between the two people clearly, but the corners of his lips were raised, and then he was expressionless.

……

"Brother, you're done!" Seeing Yue Xi Zheng Baocai standing at the door of the Taiping Bureau, he smiled bitterly: "This job forced the people in our shop to fight at night, you can see that my brother and my tired arms can't be lifted!" ”

"Let's talk about it, when the veterinarian comes back, she will invite us to a big meal, and she will cook it herself." Chu Ying said.

"Oh." Zheng Baocai nodded with satisfaction: "I said it earlier, I said it earlier, and my brother didn't need to say this sentence more!" ”

The stables were built on the mass graves, and the first thing to do was to level the old grave that had no owner.

It is taboo to dig graves, and no matter how much money you pay, it is not easy to attract people. The work had to be done again, so Zheng Bao shouted, carried a shovel and led his men into the cemetery......

"It's not just a big meal, it's enough to drink." Zheng Baocai looked at Yue Xi and added.

"Nature." Yue Xi knew that he was urging so urgently to embarrass these people from the Taiping Bureau, but he was really waiting for Su Jinyan and Jin Niang to come back with the convoy, and it was more urgent to have nowhere to place livestock and vehicles.

"Let's go to the stable!" Zheng Baocai said hello and strode forward, saying as he walked: "This road also has to be repaired, it is good on weekdays, it rains, and your shoes can't be pulled out when they get stuck in the mud!" ”

Yue Xi looked down at his feet, and in his memory, this path was overgrown with weeds, but now it was obviously leveled and wider.

"It's going to have to be repaired." She said, "Spread the slate." Put both sides of the road together, this place is our nest! ”

"Brother, you said it lightly, and my brother has to lead someone to do it for a month." Zheng Baocai turned around and said seriously: "In this way, a meal is a little less......

"It's just that Brother Zheng doesn't do hard labor, and he can't eat a meal from my brother?" Yue Xi said with a smile: "Building bridges and repairing roads is a good thing to do merit, this job must be hired to do it, Brother Zheng just looks at them." ”

"This job is still Gao Bo's good eye, he is careful." Zheng Baocai and Yue Xi were talking more and more lively, and they went farther and farther.

Chu Yingzhi followed behind and said a few words to a new driver, before he wanted to chase after him, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Hualou, whose neck was stretched, staring at Yue Xi's distant figure, his heart moved, and he said, "Young Master Liu? ”

"Mr. Chu?" Liu Hualou heard that Chu Yingzhi had won the meritorious examination, so he also had special respect for him.

"What are you looking at?"

"I didn't ...... Didn't look at anything. Liu Hualou stammered a little when he spoke, feeling that the little thoughts he was hiding in his heart had been seen through.

"Just look, don't make yourself sneaky." Chu Yingzhi waved to him as he spoke: "Let's go over and take a look." The Taiping Bureau is our home, don't think of yourself as an outsider......"

……

After seeing the stable, Yue Xi asked Chu Yingzhi to reply to Su Jinyan.

Ten days later, Jin Niang and Su Jinyan returned, and at the same time brought back one hundred and ten carriages and horses!

Yue Xi led all the people in the Taiping Bureau to stand at the door to meet them.

This year, who originally had a reserved smile on his face, he saw Yue Xi, who was dressed in black and smiling and standing in front of people, with tears in his eyes!

"In charge, we have collected one hundred and ten chariots and horses, and thirty-two porters and drivers!" Walking in front of Yue Xi in a few steps, Jin Niang cried while wiping her tears: "Yue Xi, what do you say about me?" ”

"Jin Niang is very good and capable!" Yue Xi took a step forward, put one hand around her shoulders and patted her back with the other, and said like a child: "My Jinniang has grown up...... How powerful it is, how powerful it is! ”

"you! Choreograph me again! Jin Niang was very embarrassed by what she said, and lowered her head and pushed Yue Xi: "I'm a few years older than you!" I've grown up a long time ago! ”

"Yo? Growing up and still crying? Not shy! Yue Xi bent down and looked at Jin Niang from the bottom up, with a tense face when he spoke, with a serious look.

Jin Niang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that she was joking with herself, and immediately burst into laughter.

In the blink of an eye, after Yue Xi's jokes, Jin Niang unexpectedly calmed down, she took the handkerchief handed by Yue Xi and said with a red face: "Look at me...... It's really unproductive......"

"No, Jin Niang is indeed very capable!" Yue Xi put away his hippie smile and said seriously.

During the trip to Funing, from the perspective of the Taiping Bureau's business alone, Yue Xi spent the least amount of money and gained a lot of benefits.

At the beginning, when she saw that Yingsu's purpose was the Ming family, she became keenly aware that there would be a large group of people who would be unlucky.

Those who hide smuggling behind the Ming family, without the backer of the Ming family, will definitely quickly cut off their connection with the Ming family, so as not to set themselves on fire.

The vehicles parked at the dock were also discarded, and many of them became ownerless horses and horses.

Yue Xi picked up such a bargain, let

picked up such a cheap one and asked Jinniang and Su Jinyan to buy it, and all the things that should have been cheap for Yingsu were shared by her.

That someone buys, even if the money is less, it is better than throwing it away, so within a day or two, Jin Niang and a few of them picked and chose to collect more than 100 cars and horses!

With these carriages and horses as the foundation, the Taiping Bureau has become the boss of the carriage and horse shops in the imperial capital, and it has been in the limelight since then!

He ordered his men to take care of these carriages and horses, and then registered and made a register to the government to pay taxes and silver, and did the paperwork, and Yuexi did things in an orderly manner.

By the time she was almost done in the shop, more than ten days had passed, and it was already mid-July.

July 15, Obon.

Yue Xi made two lotus lanterns with his own hands and waited for Ying Su to come back and put the river lanterns.

That year, when they went on their first date, they went to Xingguo Temple to put river lanterns, and at that time, Yingsu said to her: Come in the future, there are only two of us......

After eating dinner early, Yue Xi took a bath, changed her clothes, and first walked around the small courtyard to eat, and when it got dark, the mosquitoes in the yard grabbed her, so she had to go back to the house and wait......

Waiting until the disc-like bright moon was outside the window, Yue Xi leaned on the table, looked at the yawning cloud painting and Xia Ran sitting next to him and said, "You two go to sleep." ”

"Not sleepy." Yun Hua hurriedly sat up straight, picked up the needle and thread in his hand and sewed it up in a fake way: "I'm sitting with my master for a while......"

"What are you doing...... I slipped out under the table while I was doing it! Yue Xi looked at her funny, and reached out to grab the needle and thread in her hand, but was pricked by the needle!

"It's okay......" The palm of his hand hurt, and Yue Xi's mood also fell.

She withdrew her hand and held it, and said softly to the two big girls in the room, "Go out, I want to sit by myself for a while." ”

Yun Hua and Xia Ran glanced at each other, sighed at the same time, and then quietly retreated.

Since Funing came back, Yingsu has come back less and less.

Yue Xi looked at the flickering light on the table and thought about the last time he came back, but he couldn't remember it clearly......

"It's been ten days, right?" She muttered to herself.

Spread out his hand, the palm was red, and the needle pierced so deep that it almost penetrated the palm.

Picking up the lotus lamp on the table with a calm face, Yue Xi carefully smeared the blood on the palm of his hand on the petals of the unfolded rice paper, one by one, and the tips of each petal were stained with blood......

"Beautiful." There was only a faint stain on the last petal, and the bleeding on Yue Xi's palm stopped.

She stretched out her hand to the lamp, looked at the needle in her palm steadily, and clenched her hand into a fist again, before the condensed wound cracked, more blood came out, Yue Xi picked up the lantern and dyed the last petal red......

"Son, your father's temper is really not small, but my mother is also angry......"

Putting the lantern on the table, Yue Xi got up on the table, slowly walked to the side of the bed and lay down laboriously.

The two children have grown up too fast, and Yue Xi is now much more clumsy, and he can only lie on his side when he sleeps every night.

With her face inward, looking at the dim light on the wall, she couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Yue Xi got up and took the car to Cixian.

And that night, Ying Su actually returned to Xixiang Village.

The room was empty, which surprised him very much, after all, the month of the lady was very big, and he did not think at all that she would be able to go out at this time.

And the guards who stayed with the lady had completely become the lady's person, and Ying Su couldn't get any news about her from Feng Jizong, so he pounced on her today!

With a calm face and frowning, he walked around the empty room alone, and Ying Su was a little angry: "Let's go back to the other courtyard." ”

Yue Xi is not here, and he does not like to live here alone.

He stopped as he walked past the square table.

Looking down at the two lotus lamps side by side on the table, Ying Su's heart jumped!

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the color on the lamp was too weird, so he reached out and picked up a paper lamp, he leaned in and sniffed it, and there was a faint smell of blood on it.

"This is made by the master himself, yesterday, my master waited for you all night."

Yun Hua, who was standing at the door with his head down, said softly.

At this moment, she only felt that the person standing in the room was so hateful!
