In the next few days, Tu Liu was too busy to hire people to transport sand and cinders around, and to supervise the renovation of the restaurant.

Sand and cinders are not valuable, there are a lot of them along the Cao River, and there are a lot of cinders in many porcelain kilns and iron yards.

However, although this thing is not valuable, but manpower is valuable, a big car can drag a maximum of three or five hundred catties, one catty of the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to six taels of later generations, if you want to complete the entire infrastructure, you must tow at least one hundred cars, and the manpower and animal power money for a day will be at least three hundred Wen.

Seeing that the money was flowing out like flowing water, the corners of Tu Liu's mouth were anxious.

However, Fan Ming didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, except for going to school, Fan Ming walked around the dock every day, further refining the plans and ideas in his mind, the most important thing was that Xiangxue Tuo handed over a message, saying that he would come over in the next two days.

I haven't seen her for so long, and when she thinks of this girl's style, Fan Ming's heart can't help but start throbbing.

In the midst of this anticipation, when he came back from school the next day, he saw a familiar person standing at the door of his house, but it was Xiao Qi, the guy from Cao's house.

Xiao Qi seemed to have been waiting for a long time, a layer of sweat had appeared densely on his forehead, and his face had become red due to the rapid running, and he was already out of breath when he ran in front of Fan Ming, "Fifth Master, I finally waited for you, I have been waiting here all morning, and the people in your house said that you went to the county school, so I waited at the door." ”

"It's the same when you go in and wait." Fan Ming said with a smile, suddenly realized something, and asked again: "Who asked you to wait for me here, is it Xiangxue, what about her, are you here?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Qi came up and said, "Fifth master, Sister Xiangxue asked me to take you to the shop." ”

"To the shop?" Fan Ming's eyes rolled, he seemed to understand something, and smiled at Xiao Qi, "Okay, I'll talk to my family first." ”

"Huh!" Xiao Qi nodded happily.

After returning home and saying that he would not eat at home at noon, Fan Ming followed Xiao Qi towards Cao's shop in Chuqiu.

Walking directly to Dongmen Street, Fan Ming suddenly found that the silk shop in Caofu was actually on the most prosperous main road in Chuqiu County.

Entering the house behind the shop through the side door, Xiao Qi put Yang Miao's pick at the door of the second entrance door, and said to him: "Fifth master, I'll send it here, I can't go into the inner house, Sister Xiangxue is inside, you can go in by yourself." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Fan Ming patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Go ahead, I'll arrange it myself here." ”

This house is much smaller than Caofu in Qinghe Township, that is, it is a second-entry house, which is inferior to his own house, but in the end it is in the county seat, and the front is a door-face shop, and it is already very good to have such a big residence, and the most important thing is that it is decorated quite elegantly, and there are even a lot of flowers and plants, exuding a refreshing fragrance, living in this environment is definitely much more comfortable than the place full of earthy smell in Qinghe Township.

His eyes were looking around, and Fan Ming accidentally kicked a clay pot, and there was a crisp sound.

Immediately a rush of footsteps sounded, the door of the main house was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him, Fan Ming showed a happy smile on his face, it was Xiang Xue'er.

The moment Xiangxue saw Fan Ming, she first paused, then rushed over, grabbed his arm in her arms, and looked at Fan Ming with a sideways face, with a look of excitement, "Goro, I finally saw you." ”

Feeling the softness of Xiangxue's chest, Fan Ming smiled, "How long have you been here?" I thought you'd go straight to your new house, why are you here? ”

"Shh Xiangxue gently covered Fan Ming's mouth, looked around carefully, and lowered her voice: "Be careful that the wall has ears, that mansion was secretly bought by Madame from everyone, but she doesn't want others, especially the people in Cao Mansion, to know, you can be careful when you speak, don't let people hear it." ”

"Oh." Fan Ming smiled slightly, and said in his heart that this was indeed the case, this girl probably didn't want to expose the existence of this house, so she came to live in Caofu's shop first.

Xiangxue instantly became happy again, "Look at how it is here, my wife lived here when she came to Chuqiu in the past." ”

"Well, that's good!" Fan Ming looked at it and groaned: "The eaves are in the eaves, and the birds are spring, it is an elegant place to live." ”

"This is what I specially set up in the reader's home, so that you have a good place to study." Xiangxue smiled happily, her heart was full of sweetness, and the thoughts of so many days instantly turned into a spring breeze and disappeared without a trace.

"I'm sorry for you!" Fan Ming was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only sincerely say thank you, held Xiangxue's shallot-like tender hand in his hand, and said: "If I develop in the future, I will never forget that there is such a confidant little lady as Xiangxue." ”

This not too sweet love words made Xiangxue very moved, and she felt that she was almost about to fly, "As long as you have me in your heart, Xiangxue will be satisfied, and I am willing to serve by your side for the rest of my life." ”

"Come, come with me." Xiangxue walked in the room as she spoke, without giving him the slightest chance to speak.

Fan Ming couldn't help but smile dumbly, this little girl is clever, according to Xiangxue's statement, he pushed open the door of the west chamber, and suddenly a mixed smell mixed with this ink fragrance and lacquer came to his nose, he liked this study at a glance, atmospheric and elegant, the brand new bookshelf was full of shelves of books, there were at least three hundred books, and he went up and flipped through some Confucian classics, which means that he didn't have to worry about not being able to borrow books in the future.

"What's the matter, are you still satisfied?" Xiangxue's youngest daughter showed off her achievements to Fan Ming in the past few days, I have to say that women are at the age of dreams at this age, and the two small dimples on Xiangxue's face are particularly cute.

Fan Ming was speechless, he had to admit that this place really made him excited, not to mention the furnishings of this study, these books alone could not be bought back with money alone, but the more this girl was good to herself, the burden in his heart became heavier, and he couldn't help but ask himself if he really liked her.

"What's wrong, not satisfied?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiangxue became a little anxious, "If you are not satisfied, we will change, if Madame does not come, you will be the master here." ”

Fan Ming sighed lightly and shook his head, his face was a little cold, and then returned to normal, "It's good, compared to the original one, the one is in the sky and the other is underground, but the better I treat me, the more I'm afraid that I will let you down." ”

"Gorou, why are you saying this kind of thing again, you are the man I identified, my whole person is yours, what is the point of doing this thing, not to mention ......" Xiangxue suddenly grinned, "What's more, these are all arranged with the money of the Cao family for public purposes." ”
