385. Barbarians
After returning to the village, Lu Zhongye did not go home directly, but drove the carriage to the watchtower in a hurry.
Sure enough, when I got here, I saw my sons and nephews, as well as Qiu Jing, they were all busy.
Help transport all the materials needed here, and reconcile the lime and gravel in advance, and then wait for the glutinous rice juice to be poured and stirred.
Lu Zhongye got out of the carriage and rolled up his sleeves and followed suit, until a few people who felt their stomachs bulging at noon left.
After dinner, together with more than a dozen descendants in the village, everyone began to work again, this is the last watchtower, after the construction of everyone can take a little breath and rest.
The outside world has been talking about Qingyun Village's actions in the past few months, and they don't understand why a good village spends a lot of money to build a wall?
During this period, the village chiefs of several surrounding villages couldn't help but be curious, and came over to ask Lu Zhongye if there was anything hidden in the middle.
As a result, after listening to Lu Zhongye's statement, I felt that this was too ridiculous, how could I think that because of a few robberies and murders, I am afraid that it will be bad in the future, I'm afraid I have to imagine it, right? Anyway, their Lu family is rich, so since they can't persuade these village chiefs, they won't persuade them.
They didn't heed Lu Zhongye's reminder to take this matter to heart, even if they had a little meaning in their hearts, they were frightened away by the money spent on building the wall.
They are ordinary villages, but they are not like Qingyun Village, which has the generosity of rich people, and where the Lu family, who is an official, even if they squeeze their blood, they can't take out these silver taels.
The villagers who have extra money are also thinking about how to improve their families, or build two more houses, marry wives and have children for the children in the family, as for the prevention, the village chief is really willing but powerless.
Time passed quickly, and a few more days passed, and the watchtower was already in the process of being completed, and it could be fully built by the next day.
However, Qiu Jing did not come to help today, but drove to the county in a carriage.
The Lu family is also busy today, because the day after tomorrow is a big day, and the day after tomorrow is a good day for the seventy-five-year-old to perform the gift of the court.
This is one of the most important days in a girl's life, which means that the girl is an adult, and she is a big girl when she grows up, and she can talk about marriage.
Even Liu, who was far away in Huima County, also came back with two children, and Lu Qingjiang also wanted to come back, but he was a county order and couldn't leave at will, so he had no choice but to miss his sister's big day, but the gift did not forget to let the lady bring it back.
At this time, the big guys are gathered in the house of Qingshan.
In particular, a few sisters-in-law sat around Xiao Qituan, telling their sister-in-law about the time of the ceremony, and ridiculing the sister-in-law that they could talk about marriage after the ceremony.
The girl Jinxiu was also coaxing on the side, and she didn't have the characteristics of a little girl's thin skin.
But at this point, their aunts and nephews are really a little similar, both of them are thick-skinned enough.
No, under the siege of several sisters-in-law, Xiao Qi was not shy and embarrassed at all, but discussed with a few sisters-in-law with great interest.
Discussing whether the clothes she wore the day after tomorrow were good-looking, this dress was made for her by her sister-in-law and her mother for nearly a month, and the embroidery on it was embroidered by her mother and sister-in-law.
At this time, Qiu Jing, who drove the carriage to the county seat, stopped directly outside the gold shop last time, and walked into the shop with a steady pace.
Xiao Qihou's daily and filial gift, a very important day, he wants to choose a gift to this girl as a gift for adulthood.
Qiu Jing looked at the many jewelry in front of him, and finally picked up a chic hairpin.
The hairpin body is emerald green, carved with pieces of lotus leaves, a snow lotus blooms quietly on the hairpin, a few wisps of lotus-like pendants, and the end is elegant and dusty.
"The guest officer has a good eye, and he selected the most expensive and beautiful hairpin in our store at a glance." The guys in the store praised it without hesitation.
"Let's wrap it up in this one, it's more delicate." Qiu Jing really likes this hairpin, and said without hesitation.
"Okay, guest officer, Bao Zhun Bao is different." As he spoke, the guy carefully placed the hairpin in a delicate wooden box, and placed the soft satin material in the wooden box.
Then the wooden box was decorated with a piece of fabric with a particularly beautiful pattern, and a red ribbon was tied into a bow.
Qiu Jing took it in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's settle the bill." ”
"Guest officer, this hairpin is eight hundred and seventy-five taels, you can give eight hundred and seventy taels." The guy said with a big smile.
The heart is trembling with joy, today's luck is good, just opened, I met such a big customer, with this single this month will not worry, the next bonus will be more than the monthly silver.
Qiu Jing took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from his body and handed it to the guy in front of him.
After the guy who received the silver ticket verified the authenticity, he said flatteringly, "Guest officer, please wait a moment, look for the silver immediately, and the guy took the silver ticket to the manager of the gold shop, got the recovered silver and handed it to the cold guest officer in front of him." ”
Qiu Jing, who had won the silver, turned around neatly and left, and the fellow enthusiastically followed behind and shouted, "Welcome to the guest again." The smile on his face almost reached the root of his ears, and he had already begun to calculate how much silver he would have this month.
After buying the gift he wanted, Qiu Jing felt a lot more relaxed, I hope Xiao Qi can like it.
Qiu Jing gently patted the place where the gift was placed in his arms, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a little expectation in his eyes.
When passing by the grain store, thinking that there was not much food in his cellar, Qiu Jing simply stopped and moved ten bags of white noodles in the grain store! Ten bags of rice, as well as two bags of bud rice noodles, and some other miscellaneous grains, these grains are enough for him to eat for a long time, after all, he doesn't use every meal at home, and many times he will go to Lu's house to eat.
As for the storage of grain, don't worry, it will be placed in the cellar, don't worry about insects, don't worry about being damp and moldy, the walls around the cellar are all painted with lime, and there are several layers of brushing, and a lot of quicklime is sprinkled around, so you don't have to worry about dampness, the floor is all laid with bluestone, and a lot of wooden shelves are made to hold grain, and there is a special air outlet, even if you put it for a long time, you don't have to worry.
After all the grain was loaded into the truck and the silver taels were paid, Qiu Jing drove the carriage out of the county seat and rushed in the direction of the town.
As the carriage reached the woods on its way to Heze Town, Qiu Jing's carriage slowed down, because not long after leaving the county seat, he felt that there were tailgating people behind him, and he could not distinguish friend or foe, and he could not bring danger to the town.
Sure enough, after he drove slowly, the group of three caught up and rode horses to surround the carriage, with a bright light in their grim eyes.
The three of them kept circling the carriage around, with mocking smiles on their faces, very disapproving of the young man in front of them, as if they could tear the bones of the person in front of them into their stomachs at any moment.
These people are all wearing the costumes of the Great Sang Kingdom, but if you look closely, they can still tell that this is not the Great Sang Country, and the stout body, as well as the unique barbarian red mark on the face, all show that their identity is suspicious.
Several of them arrived at the outskirts of the county in the early hours of this morning, and they have been wandering around the periphery, and they dare not go to the city, after all, they can't stand scrutiny, and for the soldiers of the government, it is not yet the right time.
Therefore, they can only select fat sheep on the periphery, but after such a long time, they are all ordinary people, and there is no value to grab.
This is also the main reason why Qiu Jing will be targeted when he comes out of the county seat, he is the only one driving the carriage for such a long time, who will he rob if he doesn't rob him?
It's just that their appearance does not seem to show any frightened look, but instead shows a cold smile at them.
