"What kind of cave is this?" Rong Yuanhang was a little worried, and wanted to go down to take a look, after all, it was his own home, and this kind of thing really couldn't be reassured. He asked the well diggers who had seen the cave, and they all said that it was too dark to go in. Rong Yuan judged that it was most likely artificially built, as they said that the entrance to the cave was made of bricks. But it was getting late, and it was almost time for the workers to leave work, so I thought I'd better wait until tomorrow to check again.

"Voyage." Suddenly, Huang Guanmei walked over.

"Huh? Auntie, what's the matter? ”

Huang Guanmei raised her elbow sleeve to wipe her sweat, and she asked in a low voice, "It's twilight, isn't it time to eat?" ”

Rong Yuanhang saw that she was drenched in sweat, her sideburns were wet and her face was powdered, which looked a little messy, and the bulging chest on her chest was also wet, forming a V-shaped mark.

She was already curvy, and this sweaty appearance in this workshop immediately caused those workers to peek frequently.

"Auntie, I've worked hard for you these past few days." Rong Yuanhang took out a pack of tissues and handed it to her: "Let's wipe the sweat first." ”

I thought to myself, she also has enough hard work. At first, it was okay, but now it is very difficult to cook the meals of twenty or thirty people at once, although there is more Xu Lan to help. I have to cook rice and go to the creek to fetch water, and I have to go to the street to buy vegetables and come back.

You know, it's all about walking on your legs! Moreover, not to mention that she has to walk to buy vegetables and work, that is, she walks from home to work here, and the distance is more than ten miles! Walking home at night, returning late in the morning, wasting two or three hours a day on the road, it can be seen how hard she is as a woman!

"It's not hard," Huang Guanmei smiled and shook her head, holding the pack of small tissues and asking, "Is this ......?" ”

"It's a tissue...... I'll do it. Rong Yuanhang took it, tore open the package and took out a tissue, and subconsciously helped her wipe the beads of sweat on her face.

Huang Guanmei's face turned red, glanced at the workers at the scene, and hurriedly avoided it, "The concubine came by herself, thank you." In the panic, he even changed his self-title.

Rong Yuanhang realized that it was not appropriate at this time, he laughed dryly, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. I think I still need a few miscellaneous people, although Huang Guanniang is capable, but after all, she came to help temporarily.

"I've never seen such snow-white paper, it's so easy to use, and there's a fragrance, voyage, where did it come from?" Huang Guanniang asked curiously, and at this time suddenly thought of another very private and indecent thing: If this paper is used to wipe the ass, how clean will it be? I couldn't help but blush when I thought of this.

There are no paper towels of such quality in this world, if you wipe your buttocks, if the economic conditions are not good, use wood, bamboo, branches, anyway, local materials, or even wash them directly with water. If you can afford it, you can use straw paper, but that kind of straw paper is very coarse, and it can make your butt hurt when rubbed, and there is ash. Some use cloth, wash and dry after use, and leave it for the next backup, which is very unhygienic.

"Uh......, this paper was brought from far away." Rong Yuanhang said vaguely: "If you want, I can give you some." "Life is inseparable from tissues, so he brought plenty of them.

Huang Guanmei hesitated and said, "This is too wasteful, I don't want it." I asked for the paper towel he gave me, and when I thought that it might be used to wipe that place, I couldn't help but become more and more shy, and hurriedly threw down a sentence: "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare, it's time to eat." As he spoke, he turned around and ran away.

……

The dining table is a large long table temporarily transformed by carpenters from local materials, and two rectangular tables of four or five meters are full of people. Pots and pots of dishes are piled up, and the craftsmen embody a feeling that has never been seen before: big fish, big meat, big bowls of wine, and they eat happily.

Rong Yuanhang wanted to eat among them, but the strong smell of sweat on the workers' bodies made him a little unbearable. I had to use another table with Huang Guanmei, Xu Lan, and two sisters in the nursing home, Yu Bing and Yu Xue.

"Monkey, come here!" Rong Yuanhang beckoned, and Xiao Juan immediately put down his rice bowl from the other table and ran over: "Brother Rong, what do you command?" ”

"Hmm, I need a few long-term workers in this house, monkey, are you interested in doing it? Is the monthly money still the same as last time? Rong Yuanhang said.

"Really?" Juan could hardly believe it. He excitedly asked, "I—Can I really do it?" ”

"Hehe," Rong Yuanhang chuckled and said, "If you want, you can do it at any time, but you have to ask your parents in advance." ”

"They ......," Juan thought for a while and said, "My father has long been a veteran, but my mother is still sick in bed, I'm afraid she can't come in person, or can I bring my sister over as a guarantee?" ”

"Yes, as long as your family approves of it." Rongyuan Fairway.

"Okay, okay, they will!" Juan Jr. said anxiously.

Rong Yuanhang nodded: "What about them?" He pointed at Yan Dahua's other four teenagers and said, "You ask them, if you want, come over together." ”

As a result, in addition to the Cheng brothers, Yan Dahua and Zhu Shuisheng were all willing. After all, it is a long-term worker, and if you sign a contract, your freedom of life will be restricted, but this requires the consent of their parents.

The three teenagers were so happy that after eating, the workshop was closed, and they rushed home in a hurry, asking them to tell the family the good news, and seeing the excitement, it was as if they had won the top prize.

……

In the evening, the four men's nurses moved into the inverted rooms in the front yard. After all, there are some customs here, but all the men and women are generally not allowed to step through the second door without the permission of the owner. The two female nurses and Xu Lan lived in the third courtyard of the hospital, which was convenient for patrolling or waiting for dispatch.

Rong Yuanhang himself also passed the fourth courtyard, and the fifth courtyard was used as a secret place for activities, he had already explained that he was not allowed to enter anything without permission, anyway, the courtyard has now been cleaned up.

In fact, since he bought the mansion, Rong Yuanhang is still the first time to spend the night here, if it weren't for the sudden admission of these nursing homes and Xu Lan and other seven people today, he would still want to travel back to the villa to rest. Modern living conditions are incomparable here.

The candlelight in the room was dim, and the whole room was spotless, even the bed and quilt, and the newly accepted maidservants came to help him get it.

"Childe," suddenly Xu Lan broke in and stood at the door.

"Huh?" Rong Yuanhang frowned slightly, put away the pistol he was playing with, and wanted to tell her not to break in at will in the future, but considering her thin skin, he thought about it or gave up.

"What's the matter, Xu Lan? …… Well, I said, if you have time, go to the street and buy a few sets of clothes, don't worry about the silver, all your expenses for dressing up, food and whatever, all from me, still twenty taels a month, okay. ”

At this moment, Xu Lan was wearing a set of ramie clothes, and there were two patches on her shoulders, which made her look very cold. She bit her lip and lowered her head and whispered, "Yes......, but the little maid doesn't need so many monthly examples...... Too much, Childe. ”

Rong Yuanhang waved his hand: "I said it, don't mention this matter again, don't worry, don't keep this matter in mind, by the way, do you have anything to do?" ”

"The warm water is ready, please go to the bathhouse to bathe and change clothes."

Rong Yuanhang's heart moved, he looked her up and down, and felt that the more Xu Lan looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more she wanted to be in shape, and she wanted to look good, so she couldn't help asking, "Are you going to wait for me to take a bath?" ”

Xu Lan raised her eyes to look at him, lowered her head again, and said in a whisper like a mosquito: "This is what a little maid should do, if the son needs it, Xu Lan will wait for you." ”

Rong Yuanhang's heart warmed when he heard this, "Xu Lan, you raise your head." ”

Xu Lan raised her face slowly, but her eyes didn't dare to look directly at her, but she looked at the other side. Her look of wanting to refuse and welcome and let you pick it, Rong Yuanhang was heartbroken: this is a woman who completely belongs to herself! He swallowed, a little tempted to go over and hug her and bully her. But Zhili told him that he couldn't have anything to do with Xu Lan, otherwise once the two had an intimate relationship, his secret would be easily exposed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say gloomily: "Alas, you go out." I'll just wash myself in a while and go to bed early. …… By the way, I'm going to practice for a while, so don't come here if there's nothing important. ”

Xu Lan had to quit as she said, but she felt a little lost and a little relaxed for no reason, and this feeling was difficult to describe.

……

Rong Yuanhang plans to practice this time Yan Gong, according to Xiao Yufeng's master and apprentice, if the cultivation is successful, a person's lifespan can reach hundreds of years old, which can't help but make him excited, seeking immortality is almost everyone's natural **, he is no exception, and even plans to pursue this as the main goal in the future.

According to the order of the exercises, Rong Yuanhang sat cross-legged on the bed, concentrating and resting, and it didn't take long for him to enter a meditative state. The ambiguity of the body gradually turned into a trickle, which spread to the limbs and eight remains, and the blood and qi in the meridians suddenly moved more than ten times faster than usual.

At this time, he completely entered a state of unity of body and mind, and that warm current instinctively ran in all parts of his body, and then converged in Zhongwei, and so on. At a certain moment, suddenly from the sea of qi, there was another cold current, this cold and hot alternately, but it did not interfere with the Rong Yuantu, which seemed to be asleep and entered the emptiness, until the moment of harvest, the whole person was refreshed and refreshed, and the whole body was comfortable!

"It's so comfortable!" Rong Yuanhang moved his muscles and bones for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of relaxation that he didn't have, and thought to himself: "It seems that this place is more effective than the cultivation of the modern world, is it because the aura of this world is particularly abundant?" ”

"Huh, the water?" Rong Yuanhang suddenly touched the mat, only to see that with himself as the center, there was a small circle on the mat, and when he touched it, it felt cold and cold, lower than the temperature of the ice cubes!

Rong Yuanhang Daqi, "There was no water just now?" "This mat was originally dry, but now it's getting wet for no reason!" What's going on, could it be because of the practice? ”

"Could it be...... It's my talent co-prosperity skill that takes effect! Rong Yuanhang was overjoyed, if he continued to refine like this, would he be as powerful as Cailong?

The next day, he got up on the third day of the voyage, and last night he was harassed by mosquitoes all night, making him unable to sleep. Thinking that I had to go back and buy a few mosquito nets, I opened the door and suddenly saw Xu Lan standing under the eaves waiting.

"Childe, you're up." Xu Lan said: "The little maid has already fetched water for you. ”

"Oh, here comes the water, okay." Rong Yuanhang was not too polite to her, turned around and walked into the room, took a towel and toothbrush, and consciously went to wash. Seeing that Xu Lan was still standing there with a pair of big eyes looking at herself curiously brushing her teeth, she couldn't help but say funny: "What are you watching me doing, go and do your work, you don't need to wait here." ”

"Oh," Xu Lan's face was embarrassed, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but she said: "Childe, that Yan Dahua, Zhu Shuisheng and the monkey and their families have all come, and the little maid has lined them up in the middle hall of the east wing of the second courtyard. ”

"yes, you go and tell them, I'll go out later." Rong Yuanhang said.

……

The three young men brought their parents over this time in order to sign this employment contract with Rong Yuanhang. The conditions of Rong Yuan's voyage are too generous, so that their families cannot be separated, not to mention that the place of work is in the city, not far from home.

When the contract was signed, none of the three teenagers, including their parents, could read and write. Even Xu Lan is illiterate! This made Rong Yuanhang worried, if he handed over this home to Xu Lan to take care of, would he even pawn his pants?

"Yuanhang, you want to write a deed?" Xu Lan actually hurriedly ran to the kitchen and pulled Huang Guanmei over.

"Yes, auntie, are you coming?" Rong Yuanhang has never held a brush himself, and he is afraid that the words he writes will make everyone laugh, and someone will come to solve the problem and just ask for it.

"Then I'll write it," Huang Guanmei covered her mouth and smiled, seeing his appearance, she didn't expect to write an article, otherwise Xu Lan wouldn't have come over for help.

After asking about the conditions, Huang Guanmei asked Yan Dahua's father: "Uncle Yan, how many years do you want Dahua to sign?" ”

Yan's father and the other two parents glanced at each other, and they all said that they would also sign for ten years, this treatment is too generous, and naturally the longer the better.

So Huang Guanmei wrote on the rice paper: "Yan Sanyan has a biological man named Yan Dahua, Yan Wu forty-seven years, and is willing to hire this man with Rong Yuanhang Rong Mansion for ten years, and he has to work and hire fifty-four taels of silver every year, and he will settle the application on the full moon day every year." Since Yan Dahua has planned to work, he must obey the orders, serve carefully, and never be rude and disobedient or move and steal the property of the house with outsiders. ……”

"What a word! It's so beautiful! Rong Yuanhang watched the tip of the pen in her hand wander away, and the small characters in italics, which were neat and neat, were even more neat than those printed. I secretly sighed in my heart: I can't see that this woman still has this hand, if her words are taken to a modern auction, maybe they can buy a good price.

"You've won the prize." Huang Guanmei smiled embarrassedly. And he said, "If you don't dislike it, why don't you hire me too?" ”

"Uh...... The aunt laughed. Rong Yuanhang was speechless for a while, thinking that you are Uncle Zhou's wife, Pepe's second mother, how dare I hire you to be a change girl? …… Maybe when the time comes, she can open a hotel or something, and she can be a bookkeeper for herself.

After the three contracts were signed, Yan Dahua, Zhu Shuisheng and Juan were the little servants of Rong Yuanhang's family. ”

In the afternoon, Jin Laoqi, who had not shown up, came to the door.

"Congratulations in advance to Rong Gongzi Xinji Dingding and Ming Feng Qiwu!" Jin Laoqi smiled at Rong Yuanhang.

Rong Yuanhang said: "Accept your words, Lao Jin, how are things going?" ”

"Childe is a little safe!" Jin Laoqi took a sip of tea, but a pair of small eyes frequently glanced at Xu Lan who was standing on the side, spinning around her slender body. said: "Young Master Rong is so blessed, how much silver did it cost to receive such a beautiful maid?" ”

Rong Yuanhang raised his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "Jin Laoqi, can you get down to business?" Ah, my woman is also your judgement? ”

"Yo, it's rude, it's rude," Jin Laoqi hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up and gave a salute: "I don't know if the little one is Mrs. Zun, forgive me." ”

"Xu Lan, you can get busy, you don't need to serve here." He waved his hand and said to Xu Lan, and it happened that Xu Lan also looked at him with complicated eyes. When I heard the blessing, I went out.

"Jin Laoqi, if you want others to respect you, you must first respect others." Rong Yuanhang said: "Say, what's the good news?" "Although this Jin Laoqi is annoying, but the household registration has to rely on him to help with activities, this is a big deal, in this society, identity is everything, and you can't ignore it.

Jin Laoqi saw that he was angry, and his heart was a little worried, he cleared his throat and said: "Young Master Rong, this time, my old seven can help you make an appointment with a big person!" Although Pipa Village is located in Xianyang Mansion, it is not directly under the management of the government, but belongs to the Shenhai County Bureau, so the child's hometown naturally belongs to the Shenhai County Government. The little one finally asked Lord Lu Weilu, the county leader of Shenhai County, to come forward! If he agrees, your household registration will be settled! ”

"Oh?"

"Childe, the little one has already booked a table of banquets, tomorrow at noon, meet at Wangjiang Tower in Wanzhou, south of the city, and please go to the appointment on time to prepare the feast!"

Rong Yuanhang thought about it for a while, this old guy did it himself, it was nothing more than spending a few more money, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go over tomorrow." ”
