In just a few days, most of the houses on the Grange have been completed. At a glance from a distance, it is not much better than Ye Gongzi's dormitory on the mountain.

Shen Youfu gave out how much silver, she knew it in her heart...... Being able to build a house with such a small amount of money is really the result of the concerted efforts of everyone. This is also thanks to these people that Shi Jingyi bought for her.

I saw a large area of neat land in front of me, and a small Jiangnan building with blue tiles and white walls in the courtyard. In front of and behind the building, clear water channels were dug and a ring of low hedges were built around the fields - Shen Youfu's Zhuangzi was much more luxurious than other farms in the countryside.

Seeing Shen Youfu's arrival, the peasants who were resting in front of the house all gathered around to salute. Shi Jingyi also hurriedly stepped forward, and while reporting the progress of the Zhuangzi, he invited Shen Youfu into the house.

The house has also been basically repaired, with a regular layout, beautiful and exquisite doors and windows......

Since these peasants were now the only ones who lived - for them, a shelter from the wind and rain was sufficient, so a few pieces of furniture were simply added.

In the future, when they are added one by one, I am afraid that this place will be even more beautiful than the one on the mountain.

Shen Youfu looked around and was very satisfied...... However, there are not many furniture, but there are many toys.

As soon as Shen Youfu walked into the back room, she saw a simple wooden bed full of children's toys, empty bamboo, spinning tops, and pottery balls...... Everything is delicate and beautiful, and the price is expensive.

This is not the style of the peasants, and of course it is impossible for Shi Jingyi to buy it.

Shen Youfu was a little surprised, and picked up one casually: "Could it be ...... Is it Ye Gongzi? ”

Shi Jingyi nodded vigorously: "Back to the master's words, it's exact!" Ye Gongzi came to us to get the pastries you sent, and asked his subordinates to deliver them the next day...... Do you want to go up the mountain to have a look and thank Ye Gongzi? ”

These things are bought for small children. A piece of sincerity is indeed not easy to refuse. Shen Youfu looked up the mountain through the window - from the bottom up, she couldn't see anything.

Originally, I should have thanked him, but there is something to do today, so let's do it another day.

"If he comes down again, you will thank him for me." Shen Youfu smiled and waved away the appearance of Ye Gongzi in his mind: "Speaking of which, I am also here to give toys today!" ”

Shen Youfu said her request simply-to put it bluntly. It's just to let these kids. Go to the door of Jin's house to play bouncy ball. It's best to be able to see it to everyone, and if someone can ask a few questions, it would be great!

It's not that hard in the first place. The children were very safe and sensible, tilted their heads and listened for a while before they understood.

When they saw what Shen Youfu took out of her sleeve, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait for everyone to try it......

――――

Xia Er rubbed her blue knees. Sharp pain that went from both knees to the bottom of the heart.

But she couldn't afford to delay too long. The master is still waiting for today's bird's nest!

Xia Er carefully walked to the large kitchen with a food box in her hand, and before she could enter the door, she heard two cooks chattering.

"Which courtyard doesn't have a small kitchen, a few pieces of broken swallow horns, and we have to ask us to make a fire for her!"

On top of the huge stove. A small stove was specially added, and a sand urn was set on it—Xia Er recognized at a glance that it was the one she had sent before—which was exactly what the master was waiting for dinner.

She hadn't had time to get closer. I heard another cook snort coldly at the casserole: "This new young lady is really a blessing!" Although these people under us are not convinced by her. But I think the old lady is quite obedient to her. Otherwise, she is a poor and sour family, where did she get the broken swallow horns? ”

That's right, Young Master Feibai didn't even see the face of his master. It is said that Mrs. Jin has long since stopped seeing her...... But this time, what made the Jin family stunned was that Mrs. Jin not only did not shout at her master, but followed her in everything......

Although it is not particularly good to her, according to everyone's understanding of Mrs., this is unprecedented!

It's just so good, but it makes Xia Er feel weak as a thief......

Xia Er coughed lightly and interrupted the whispers of the two cooks: "Is the young lady's bird's nest ready?" ”

A cook was startled by Xia Er's sudden appearance. Thinking that the other party might have listened to Fang Cai's words, his face was a little unsightly for a while. The other cook bumped her elbow against her, then squeezed out a smile and said to Xia Er: "The young lady's orders are naturally attentive, no, it's already fine......

As she spoke, the cook took the food box in Xia Er's hand, put the bird's nest on the stove into a white porcelain cup, and carefully handed it to Xia Er...... Piggybacking on it, he looked at Xia Er's expression.

…… A qiē as usual.

The cook breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Er also breathed a sigh of relief - every time she came out to help her master, she was like a thief...... Even she knew that these subordinates of the Jin family looked down on the master, but the master didn't seem to think it at all. Heaven calls these people outside to do this and that.

I'm afraid that others don't know the face that Mrs. gave her?

But if it doesn't have the young master's liking, how long can the lady last alone - not to mention, the lady is only for that bead......

After two days, the night pearl has already arrived in the hands of Mrs. Jin, and I don't know if I want to give it to others, but at that time, I have nothing to do with the master!

The more Xia Er thought about it, the more scared she felt, but she didn't dare to stop at all.

The master's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and yesterday it was half a quarter late, so he punished her for kneeling all night.

Seeing that it was going to be late today, Xia Er hurried slowly, walked through the garden pavilion, and walked through the verandah, and finally arrived in front of the Shengming Hospital.

She gently wiped the thin sweat on her forehead, and was about to go in, but was attracted by a voice.

"That thing is called the Night Pearl! I saw a kid playing with it yesterday, but it looks so good! If you want to see it, go and come back quickly, I'll keep an eye on it for you! ”

Several maids in the Shengming courtyard smiled crisply, and when they saw Xia Er coming over with a food box, they all smiled and snorted coldly, and walked away from her with their chin up.

The pearl of the night?

Xia Er's heart tightened inexplicably.

"Sisters, may I ask the pearl of that night......" Xia Er turned around and chased two steps, but her voice was like a mosquito humming.

The maids had long since gone away—but even if they heard it, they wouldn't turn back to her.

…… No, we have to figure it out!

Xia Er gritted her teeth and looked at the Shengming Courtyard in front of her, and then looked at the backs of those people who were far away, took a deep breath, and finally followed.

――――

The Jin Mansion was already in the middle of the city, and there was often a lot of traffic outside the main gate, but Xia Er still found the target at a glance - outside the main gate of the Jin Mansion, there was a large group of people gathered together, and the three layers inside and the outside did not know what to see. And the maids just now are also among them.

For some reason, Xia'er's heart was pounding. Regardless of the food box in her arms, she was most afraid of colliding, Xia Er quickly ran forward, vigorously knocked into the crowd, and then squeezed to the front.

This is......

"Bang Dang"

Xia Er looked at the scene in front of her, and the food box in her arms fell to the ground, but she didn't realize it.

I saw that in the crowd, a boy with pigtails at two corners was gently patting a small ball in his hand, and he was proudly reading the count: "One hundred and twelve, one hundred and twenty-three......"

The childish appearance of the child caused the onlookers to laugh, but he himself was not afraid of life: "Don't laugh at me, help me count, how many shots have you taken?" ”

He's been filming here for a long time, and he can't even count them. Bystanders came and went, and the crowd of onlookers changed batch after batch, and they must not be able to count them.

But the master Miss Seven said, as long as it is lively, the more lively the better!

The child is not afraid of life, and is willing to talk to everyone, and the scene is naturally lively.

There were many people in the crowd who didn't recognize this, but there were also many who had seen it yesterday. So someone here asked, and someone over there immediately answered.

"What kind of object is this, it is even more beautiful than the pearl gem, how can such a shining thing be slapped like this?" A passer-by said what everyone thought.

Another one asked this question yesterday, and at this time, his profound knowledge was revealed: "This thing is called 'Night Pearl', not only beautiful during the day, but also beautiful at night!" It's just that although it's called this name, it's not a serious bead, it's just a toy for kids! ”

Such a delicate and beautiful thing is actually just a child's toy?

But the facts are in front of you, if it is really a pearl of the night, such a big one, how much more than a priceless price?

Besides, if the real night pearl is thrown on the ground, it is only broken, how can it bounce up!

Passers-by nodded again and again: "This thing is beautiful!" Got a lot of silver, right? ”

This question was naturally asked yesterday, and he immediately jumped out and replied: "Expensive! It's not expensive! I heard that it costs twenty taels of silver, who can afford this? Let's just look at the freshness. ”

Twenty taels is enough for a poor family to eat for a year. Even a little rich family would not spend so much money on a toy. Only the Jin family is willing to buy it.

Knowing what was going on, many people dispersed, and new passers-by came up again. Repeating the question just now.

Xia Er was cold, and her brain was buzzing—the "Night Pearl" in the little boy's hand and the one she touched from the crack in Miss Seven's bed...... Same!

She couldn't feel the pain in her knees anymore, and although she wanted to sit on the ground and never get up again, Xia Er still managed to hold on to her breath, like she was running back.

-- Now go to the master and confess your sins to your wife, maybe you can still come!

Xia Er stumbled into the Shengming Courtyard and entered the main house without any notice - anyway, the young master wouldn't come, and no one else would come!

Shen Lian was angry in the house, and she didn't see the bird's nest delivered!

You know, she is just such a happy thing a day now, but yesterday was late, and today is even later.

Is this Xia Er impatient? (To be continued) R655
