That night, Zheng Yuan knocked on the door of the cloth village and bought six feet of purple silk, and then went home.

Zheng Yuan only gets off work every day at midnight and comes home late, and his wife Qu is used to eating by herself. On this day, Qu was sitting on the bed spinning, but she saw Zheng Yuan mysteriously walking into the house with her hands behind her back, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Why are you tiptoeing like a thief!" ”

After her husband was promoted to the workshop manager of the textile factory, he had five taels of money a month, and the economic conditions of Zheng Yuan's family were much better all of a sudden. Not to mention anything else, Qu has the confidence to eat some eggs and pork every day. The woman's family has a small amount of food, even if she eats some meat for a meal, she doesn't need five dollars of silver, and Qu's family can afford it now.

has been married to Zheng Yuan for ten years, and Qu only lamented that the hard days have finally come to an end. Now that the family conditions are good, she has a status in front of other women, and she speaks louder. She is in a good mood, and her whole person is much richer. Qu used to look like she was in her thirties, but now she looked like she was only twenty-eight years old.

is in a good mood, her attitude towards her husband is better, although Zheng Yuan is tiptoeing, Qu only treats her husband as a joke with herself, and still talks to Zheng Yuan with a smile.

If it was before, Qu Shili would not have bothered to pay attention to Zheng Yuan.

Hearing Qu's inquiry, Zheng Yuan smiled, sat on the bed with his hands behind his back, and said, "Lady, I've been thinking about it recently, we should go buy a house!" ”

Qu stopped the spinning machine and asked, "Buy a house?" ”

Zheng Yuan said: "Yes, buy a house!" Buy a detached two-storey house! ”

When Qu heard Zheng Yuan's words, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, women have a natural desire for the security of owning their own house, and Qu didn't want to rent a house for the rest of his life. But after thinking about it, she said hesitantly: "Husband, although your monthly money has increased in the past few months, but it has only been a few months, and we have only saved more than 20 taels of silver, where is there enough to buy a house in TJ City?" A two-story house in TJ City is at least 60 or 70 miles! ”

Zheng Yuan shook his head and said, "If the money is not enough, the owner can lend it to us." But we don't buy TJ's house, we buy Fanjiazhuang's house! ”

Qu Shi was stunned when he heard Zheng Yuan's words, and muttered, "Fanjiazhuang's house?" The Fan Jiazhuang where Brother Zhi'er was an official? ”

"Exactly!" Zheng Yuan said loudly: "Now that the owner has expanded Fanjiazhuang to the size of a county seat, he will gradually move the textile factory and soap workshop there. The proprietors were to build thousands of two-story houses in the city and sell or rent them to the workers. I'm now the head of a textile factory, so of course I'm going to take the lead in buying a big one! We bought six rooms... ”

Listening to her husband's more and more mysteries, Qu couldn't react a little, and interrupted: "You are the head of the factory? Aren't you the manager of the third workshop? How did you become a manager? ”

Zheng Yuan laughed, and then said slowly: "My nephew Li Xing was transferred to the first battalion of the Fanjiazhuang Xuanfeng Regiment as the battalion commander, so I made up for the gap and became the head of the textile factory. ”

Hearing Zheng Yuan's words, Qu was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after half a sound. Looking at Zheng Yuan, Qu asked, "The head of the factory, how much money is there in a month?" ”

"Fifteen taels! Hey. ”

When Qu heard Zheng Yuan's words, he looked at Zheng Yuan happily, the corners of his mouth opened little by little, and finally he grinned exaggeratedly upwards and laughed loudly. The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she stood up on the bed excitedly, waving her arms with her hands, and laughing and saying, "Fifteen taels? Rich, rich! Fifteen taels of silver a month, my family is going to live a good life! It's time for a good life! ”

When he was excited, he knocked down the spinning machine on the bed, and Qu didn't know it.

Zheng Yuanren let his wife jump on the bed, sat at the end of the bed and did not speak. After dancing for a minute or two, Qu Shi calmed down, looked at Zheng Yuan and said, "Why are you unhappy?" ”

Zheng Yuanyun said lightly: "The owner's business is getting bigger and bigger, since I have kept up with the owner, sooner or later there will be a time for development, which is also a matter of course!" ”

Qu looked at the indifferent Zheng Yuan with some admiration, and said, "Husband, you are getting more and more powerful!" ”

"That's nature!" Zheng Yuan smiled, then took out the six-foot purple silk from behind him, and said with a smile: "The purple silk I bought just now, make you a skirt!" ”

Qu Shi looked at the purple silk in Zheng Yuan's hand, covered his eyes with his hands in surprise, and only looked at the six-foot thin and silky purple silk from his fingers. After getting used to the hard days, Qu never thought that he could wear silk clothes, but he didn't dare to take the purple silk for a while.

Zheng Yuan pulled Qu's hand over, put the purple silk on her hand, and said with a smile: "You can sew it yourself, or find a tailor to do it." Anyway, now that we are rich, we don't have to live in a tight way! ”

Qu Shi took the purple silk in his hand and looked at it in a daze for a long time, his eyes changed from surprise to excitement, then to joy, and finally calmed down. After being silent for a while, she suddenly said, "Husband, I have it!" ”

Zheng Yuan was stunned, didn't react for a long time, and asked, "What do you have?" ”

Qu's face turned red and said, "I have a child!" ”

Zheng Yuan's face was full of excitement when he heard this, and he asked loudly, "Are you pregnant?" ”

Qu nodded with a blushing face, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

In the past, Zheng Yuan's family had no money, and the husband and wife were afraid that they would not be able to afford to starve to death after giving birth to a child, so they did not dare to share a house. It wasn't until Zheng Yuan entered Li Zhi's soap workshop that he had two taels of monthly money a month, and Zheng Yuan and Qu's shared a room. Half a year later, Qu became pregnant.

Zheng Yuan's face gradually became full of excitement. Wife pregnant! He is about to have children and offspring, and he, the male of the Zheng family, has also taken on the responsibility of passing on the ancestry. is in his thirties, and he is finally no longer the honest and pitiful Zheng Yuan, he wants to be a father!

The good news came one after another, Zheng Yuan felt that his breathing was a little short!

He grabbed his wife's head, put his mouth on her cheek, and kissed her fiercely.

After busy with the new army and the layout of the city wall, Li Zhi used the money he earned in the past few months to start building in the new city wall. The masons and carpenters in Gyeonggi have found something to do all year round.

There are now two groups of masons in Fanjiazhuang: one group is hired by Li Zhi to make the barracks of the Xuanfeng Regiment, and Tao Youmao's group; The other group had come a few days earlier to help more than a hundred craftsmen and blacksmiths repair the dilapidated houses.

The second group of masons and carpenters, numbering more than 400 men, had already finished repairing the houses of the gunsmiths. Now Li Zhi has hired them all to build factories and villas inside the newly built city walls.

In addition to employing this group of craftsmen, Li Zhi also sent people to various prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi to find more than 1,000 masons and carpenters, and hired more than 600 people who moved bricks and timber, all of whom came to Fanjiazhuang to repair houses.

More than 2,000 construction workers gathered in Fanjiazhuang at once, and all kinds of materials were moved in and out, so lively! The craftsmen and husbands who repaired the house and the team that repaired the city wall turned Fanjiazhuang into a huge construction site inside and out.

Only Li Zhi, who owns such a large industry, can afford to hire so many craftsmen.

Although the city wall has not been built, Li Zhi's plan for the "new Fanjiazhuang" within the city wall has been designed. In the future, not only will the barracks of the Xuanfeng Regiment be within the city walls, but also the textile factory, soap factory, and cement workshop will also be inside the city walls, and Li Zhi will also plan 7,000 pieces of residential land inside the city walls -- of which 5,000 blank residential land will be left vacant for sale, and the other 2,000 residential land will now be used to build "villas."
