It is a good place for Jinxiu and Jinyu to see the foundation of the new house: the terrain is still quite high, facing the fields and streams, and the mountains beyond. Behind is the green mountain, on the left is the Guan family, to the right is seven or eight miles of road, is Xishan Village.

Waiting for the new house, Jinxiujia is the most marginal household in the west of Dongshan Village.

Jinxiu and Jinyu took a turn around the base of their house, and then walked to the neighbor Guan Jia across a vegetable garden to take a look, Guan Mu was sitting in the yard weaving baskets, and greeted them with a smile:

"It's Jinxiu and Jinyu, come in, come in!"

A middle-aged woman came out of the house, with a blue cloth wrapped in her head, and her half-used clothes were washed white, it was Guan Mu's wife, Yu, who also smiled and called them into the house to sit:

"My sister and son are here to see the house, right? Ready to start a new home? ”

Jinxiu followed her sister to call Uncle Guan and Uncle Guan, and replied: "My mother and my father have reconciled, so it is not good to live in the Feng family anymore, so I have to build my new house." ”

Yu nodded again and again: "It's this Li'er!" Then hurry up and build it, we will be neighbors in the future, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, when building a house, you want to pile up wood or something, put it in my yard, and if the yard is not enough, pile up the vegetable garden! The mud walls and grass huts in my backyard are empty, so that the people who build the houses can live in, and they can enter and exit through the backyard door, so I don't have to worry about anything! ”

Guan Mu also nodded: "When the weather is cold, there is nothing to do at home, I can still help!" ”

Jinxiu was very moved: "When the time comes, I will have to trouble the uncle and the uncle, and it is great to be neighbors with the uncle and the uncle!" ”

"What's the matter? I'm stuffy! Yu said with a smile: "There are only a few families in the west of the village, and one family is not close to the other, it is deserted, and you have to walk far away to visit the door, I want your mother to move over quickly, and I have a companion to talk to!" ”

Jinyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Uncle Guan is at home, isn't it just that Uncle Guan and Uncle Niang are talking." ”

"What do you have to say to him? If you say a few words, you have to quarrel! ”

Guan Mu said to Jinyu: "Don't listen to your aunt, a woman with a lot of tongues has to let her read the cocoon with her ears!" ”

Jinxiu looked into the house: "Just the uncle and aunt are at home, and the Guan Gu brothers have gone to school?" ”

Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I won't be able to come back until the next day!" ”

Jinyu said: The Guan family is similar to the Feng family, the heirs are not prosperous, Guan Jie joined the army, Guan Mu raised his mother at home, and his wife Yu gave birth to three daughters and one man, the eldest daughter Guan Honger and the second daughter Guan Laner have all been married, and the third daughter Guan Cuier gave her uncle's family as an adopted daughter.

The only son Guan Gu is sixteen years old this year, since he was a child, he was weak and not suitable for heavy work, and the couple were reluctant to let their son work hard, so they saved money for him to study, Guan Gu was very willing to study, most of the sons and daughters who could go to school in the village went to the town school hall, Guan Mu and his wife were afraid that the town was too far away and their son could not afford to walk, so they asked someone to send gifts to Xishan Village Qiaodi to sponsor the school to read, from the Guan family to Xishan Village is seven or eight miles away, and it is easier to walk.

After talking to Uncle Guan and Uncle Niang, Jinxiu Jinyu said goodbye, walked out of Dongshan Village along the village road, and went directly to the town.

On the way, Jinxiu discussed with Jinyu, saying that he had to go to the town to buy some things, and asked Jinyu to take two hundred taels of silver tickets to Liumu Village to find his aunt, give him the silver tickets, and ask him to plan to buy bricks and tiles and wood and finalize the craftsmen, so that the sisters would not take the silver tickets to the town market and accidentally lose them.

Jinyu was nervous about her sister, and even more nervous about the silver ticket, and finally got her sister's promise to go to Liumu Village to meet her soon, and then agreed to separate.

persuaded her sister who was like a fart, and Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

There were some things that she had to do alone.

After separating from Jinyu, Jinxiu walked to the town, and saw an empty tea shed on the side of the road that had not yet been set up in a stall, so he walked in, and soon came out, carrying a cloth bag in his left hand and a basket covered with cloth in his right hand.

This time I didn't go to the shopkeeper of Fuxilai Restaurant, not everyone is as easy to fool as Tian and Jinyu Jinyun, the things that came out of the cave are too unique, last time the shopkeeper Hong also said that he would send the batch of matsutake lion's mane mushrooms to the provincial capital, those who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and those who have a bad mouth are easy to taste and experience the rarity of these mountain delicacies, she is worried that she will be targeted by the shopkeeper Hong, and it will be bad to look for her with great fanfare for the sake of profit! She promised her family not to go into the mountains again, and she didn't want the people in the village to mistakenly think that there were really a lot of mountain treasures in the deep mountains and old forests that could be picked at will.

Therefore, her matsutake mushrooms and lion's mane mushrooms can only be sold three or so times in Fangshi Town, to make some money to build a good house, if you want to sell lion's mane mushrooms in large quantities, you have to find another hall, and it is best to go to a strange place!

Jinxiu bypassed the Fuxilai Restaurant, and flashed into another equally famous Juxian Restaurant, this shopkeeper Deng is also a discerning person, gave Jinxiu one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets and another six taels of silver, and very politely asked Jinxiu to have a sumptuous lunch, Jinxiu politely declined.

After collecting the silver ticket, Jinxiu went to the bookstore with the basket.

Today, there are still five or six scholars in the bookstore quietly flipping through the books, and when Jinxiu walks in, he attracts a series of disdainful or surprised glances.

Jinxiu didn't look at others, and walked to ask the young man standing behind the counter: Is there a book on building houses?

The young man looked at the splendid scenery twice, and went to get her a few copies.

Splendid looked through one by one, and finally picked out one of them and bought it, this book is about the study of the house architecture in the north and south of the dynasty, the author has written it in great detail, and there are simple illustrations in it, drawing several courtyard layouts and house patterns.

Isn't it strange that the bookstore has this kind of book to sell, otherwise he suddenly drew an architectural drawing?

There are a lot of architectural books in the study room in the courtyard of the cave, but Jinxiu doesn't have the ability to take those books out of the cave yet, she just tried!

When the money was paid, there was a whisper from all sides: "Hey, this village girl bought a book?" ”

"yes, can she read it?"

Jinxiu smiled angrily at them: such a rare and strange gossip scholar, it is a miracle that he can be admitted to fame!

Suddenly, I heard someone say: "This village girl, I really know a few words!" ”

Jinxiu looked at the man, looked at each other, and instinctively told her: This Sao Nian is no one else, it must be Zhang Ruiwen!

White face and red lips, delicate eyebrows and eyes, black hair neatly combed, lake blue silk straight cuffs and collar embroidered with ruyi patterns, hem embroidered with a few bamboo shadows, waist tied dark green tassels, holding an inscription folding fan, a charming and talented appearance.

The whole looked pretty good, but the pretended deep arrogance and contemptuous gaze instantly made Jinxiu mark his image several times.

Jinxiu still had something to do, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, put away the books and walked out the door.

Zhang Ruiwen was angered by Jinxiu's cold and arrogant attitude that was even higher than him, and in the surprised eyes of the bookstore boys and several scholars, he flicked his sleeves and chased him out quickly.

"Feng Jinxiu, you stop for me!"

After walking more than 20 steps away, Zhang Ruiwen caught up with Jinxiu and stretched out his hand to stop her.

Jinxiu glanced at him: "What to do?" I don't know you! ”

Zhang Ruiwen snorted coldly: "Are you willing to know you?" ”

"Then what do you want to stop me?"
