didn't come back for half a month, and there were three more people in the family at once, and Yang Xiaobao was a little uncomfortable.

But he could see that the other party was more uncomfortable than himself, and even a little scared.

Sitting down in the house, the woman poured him a bowl of water, and asked the little lady to hand it to him, and smiled flatteringly at him.

The little lady was a little embarrassed, handed him the water, and when he was steady, she turned and walked to the back of the wooden staircase at the back of the room.

However, I didn't hear the sound of going upstairs, so I should have hid behind the stairs.

"This is Xie Niangzi, the man has tuberculosis, not last year. Your Aunt Song has a Zhuangzi with her in her hometown, and she knew that they couldn't get by, so she told me about it.

Her eldest sister is also fifteen years old this year, one year younger than you, but she is too thin. Raise it for two years, and when you are older, I will give you marriage. ”

If it was before, Yang Xiaobao would definitely be willing, but he has seen more in the past six months, and his spirit is also high.

He looked at Xie Shi, smiled and said, "This marriage event is naturally decided by my father." But since the eldest sister is fifteen, don't stay at home. The silk reeling factory and the textile factory are recruiting innocent women, and send the eldest sister to work. ”

Yang Laohan couldn't pull his face a little, and scolded: "It's not that I can't afford to raise it, you don't want me to raise it now, I still have consistent money every month, I sell tofu every month at home, and I can earn two or three times by selling bean sprouts, and I can get a consistent ...... if I go to half of the expenses."

"Dad, it's not about money, it's about going to work, and more importantly, they have to teach literacy every day, and when I go on an expedition to write letters to my family, there must be a literate person who can read letters."

Xie Shi exclaimed: "The girl also teaches literacy? ”

Yang Xiaobao nodded at her, she will be her mother-in-law from now on.

Xie didn't dare to face his gaze, lowered his head and asked, "Can the eldest sister go in?" ”

"If you are innocent and have a guarantee, you can enter. My father is also an old man on the street, and if he guarantees it, he will be able to enter. ”

The girl, who was originally embarrassed to observe, ran over at this time, and knelt in front of Yang Laohan with a plop. "Dad, I want to go to work, I want to be literate."

It's been a few days since Xie entered the door, and neither of these two children called him a father. Although he bought them new clothes and meat to eat, the two children were still a little afraid of him.

Now that he heard the eldest sister call him Dad, his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, like a chrysanthemum. "You call me dad, now it's my daughter, and I'll be my daughter-in-law in the future, of course I'm willing to vouch for it."

Only then did Yang Xiaobao see the eldest sister's face clearly, her face was the size of a palm, but she was very delicate, especially a pair of big eyes, as if she could see his heart.

He looked at Xie again, although he had a hard time before, he grew quite well, and it was no wonder that he let this old tree bloom new branches.

The eldest sister will definitely follow her mother, and she will become a good-looking mother-in-law in the future.

Yang Laohan is proud now, his son did not object to a word, and he respected his father very much, which made him have a little face in front of the Xie family.

He happily went into the wing, and when he came out, he had an extra string of money in his hand. "When you come back today, go with the eldest sister and the eldest man. Take the money with you, go to the Xicheng Market, buy whatever you want, drink whatever you want. ”

The eldest sister was a little shy, and kept her head down and silent after being helped up by her mother. But Da Lang was very excited, and his eyes looked at Yang Xiaobao much closer.

He took the money, put it on his shoulder, looked at Da Lang and asked with a smile: "Da Lang, do you have a name?" ”

Da Lang nodded and said, "My name is Chu Ming, the clothier Chu, Sun and Moon Ming." ”

Yang Xiaobao asked in surprise, "Have you ever studied private school?" ”

Chu Ming shook his head and said gloomily: "No, I heard what the master told me." ”

Yang Xiaobao touched his head with a smile and comforted: "It's okay, I can send you to Mengxue in the future and let you read and write." ”

Xie Shi was surprised and looked at the head of the family, Yang Laohan. Yang Laohan smiled and nodded, which immediately made Xie cry with joy and couldn't help crying.

When he went out with Chu Ming and Sister Chu, Chu Ming became close to Yang Xiaobao, and from time to time touched a handful of money that he carried on his waist. "That's a lot of money......"

Sister Chu followed behind them, her eyes kept glancing at this strong back, this is the man she will be in the future!

Yang Xiaobao had the intention to please the sister and brother, and introduced the surrounding environment to them all the way, while walking along the main road towards the Nancheng Market.

"The inner city is now sealed and cannot be entered or exited, and it is said that the imperial palace is being built, which is where the emperor lives. Although our family is in the outer city, we will go to the imperial city in the future......"

"See the walls in the distance? The three circles outside the moat next to the city wall are all occupied by dignitaries and nobles, don't go there to play if you have nothing to do, we can't afford to offend those people......"

"From here to the road outside the city, there are all kinds of markets, stalls, you can buy anything you want...... If you want to buy something, you go to the bazaar, and you can only buy linen and silk to go to the shops facing the street.

The price of the things in the shop is expensive, and the incense shop opened by the waiter also has fragrant pancreas and perfume, and the fat powder ......, eldest sister, when we get married in the future, we will also go there to buy fat powder for you. ”

Sister Chu smiled shyly and gently twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers. "Expensive, don't buy it."

Although it was only the first time they met, the two were not familiar with each other. But their parents have already set a family relationship for them, and in their hearts, the other party is the one who wants to live a lifetime.

"I'll make money, so that you can live a good life in the future."

The herbal tea shop on the street bought a popsicle for both the eldest sister and the eldest lang, and both of them ate it for the first time, and they were very surprised.

"How can there be ice for sale when it's so hot? This ice is fragrant and sweet, and it is so delicious. ”

"This is made by Pei Niangniang, last year only high-ranking officials and nobles could eat it, and now ordinary people can also eat it. It's not expensive, you can eat one copper for one. Eldest sister, don't be reluctant to eat, it will melt in a while. ”

Sister Chu was anxious to stomp her feet, there were so many people outside, how could she be embarrassed to eat?

Dalang Chu Ming asked: "Pei Niangniang, is it the mother in the palace?" ”

Yang Xiaobao finally saw Sister Chu's embarrassment, and took them to stand under a big tree on the side of the street. "Come on, I'll stand in your way, you'll finish eating the popsicle and we'll go shopping."

At this time, Sister Pei looked around, hid behind Yang Xiaobao, and ate a popsicle.

In this hot summer, eating cold and sweet popsicles in her mouth, Sister Chu couldn't help but widen her eyes, she had never eaten such a delicious thing.

Yang Xiaobao smiled and said to Da Lang: "Pei Niangniang is not the mother of the palace, she is only twelve years old, and it is rumored that she is the Doumu Niangniang of the sky.

Our Hanjing Mansion has changed so much now, and half of the workshops are set up under the guidance of Pei Niangniang. ”

Chu Ming asked: "What about the other half?" ”

"Of course, it's our Royal Highness, he is the Ziwei Star Monarch."

Chu Ming asked again: "Then have you seen His Highness?" And Pei Niangniang? ”

"I haven't seen Pei Niangniang, I've only seen her car, but I've seen Her Highness several times, he is half a head taller than me, majestic and majestic, and people want to kneel when they see it. The house we live in was built by His Royal Highness, and he didn't ask us for a penny, so you must remember that our good days are all given by His Highness. ”

Chu Ming was still young, and he couldn't remember anything else, but he just looked up at the tall Yang Xiaobao and thought how tall it was!

After chatting for a while, their popsicles were all eaten, and the three of them wandered along the lively street again.

Chu Ming pointed to the vegetable market and said excitedly: "I know here, my mother took me to Yang ...... the day before yesterday Dad delivered food, I went in, and it was full of vegetable sellers, as well as meat and fish. ”

Yang Xiaobao nodded, took them all the way to the west, and finally pointed to a large building and said: "In front is the area where the female workers live, from here to the riverside, there are more than 10,000 people, and the female workers who work here have room and board, 500 yuan a month, and also teach literacy." ”

Sister Chu looked at the house over there and said with some envy: "It's so good......"

"It's good, but we eat less meat, unlike when we eat meat every day."

The ring road outside the city is limited by the mountain and goes around to the edge of the city. The Ring Road is dedicated to transporting cement, steel, bricks and other materials.

A horse-drawn two-wheeled cart sped by, specially made with a box made of wooden planks and a lid on top of it, filled with cement.

I had just run a short distance when suddenly the wheel broke, and it shattered in an instant.

The cart was crooked, and the horse neighed, and fell crookedly on the road, the wooden box cracked, revealing a pile of cement.

Yang Xiaobao didn't dare to delay, and ran over quickly. When they entered the Shenji Camp, they were taught every day, and when they encountered such a situation, as long as they had no official duties, they had to come forward to help.

If you don't help, you will be written down by Jinyiwei, and your salary will be deducted, and you will have to write a review.

"Need help?"

The groom was obviously very accustomed to this situation, and took out a calf-thick wooden stick from the board cart and said: "Thank you, this cart of cement is 2,000 catties, you should not use it alone, wait for others to come and help." ”

Yang Xiaobao nodded and took the wooden stick. The groom took another wheel from the rear of the car and looked at the axle below. "Fortunately, the axle didn't break, and the wheel was replaced quickly."

The carriages that were running back and forth on the road saw that the car had stopped, and after a while, more than a dozen people gathered.

They also all pulled a wooden stick from the car, and a few people pried the cart up, and a few people changed the wheels, and the wheels were quickly replaced.

The shattered wheels were also put away, and the wheels were just falling apart, and most of the wood on them was still in use.

Chu Ming picked up a piece of rubber and asked suspiciously, "Brother-in-law, what is this?" ”

Sister Chu snorted, embarrassed, but Yang Xiaobao was very happy, touched Chu Ming's head and said: "This is Eucommia ulmoides glue, wooden wheels are easy to break, the outside should be wrapped with a layer of iron, and then wrapped with eucommia glue, it can be used for a longer time." This section of eucommia gum can still be used, I'll cut it back and make you a slingshot. ”

When Chu Ming heard this, he was excited, and his brother-in-law and brother-in-law called him more diligent.

Sister Chu went to twist his ears, but he hid behind Yang Xiaobao, so that Sister Chu didn't dare to entangle anymore.

"Daddy said you're going on a campaign next month? When fighting, don't rush to the front......"

Yang Xiaobao said with a smile: "Don't worry, I want to earn a family business for you, and I will also pay attention to protecting myself." When you come back from the expedition, you can get married. ”
