Chapter 113: Guards

"Okay, then I'll eat here." Ruoxue smiled.

"Really!"

Sister-in-law Liu looked happy with joy, she quickly blessed Ruoxue, retired and quickly ran back to the kitchen.

Ruoxue watched her come in a hurry, and ran away in a hurry, laughed and turned her head to look at Liu Daxiong, "Find me a room, I want to use ......" she said.

Liu Daxiong patted his head, how could he forget this stubble, and actually forgot to invite her into the house to have tea. He thought that the eldest lady had been out for a long time, and she must be tired, so she needed a room to rest.

"Yes, there is. Miss, please. ”

Liu Daxiong stretched out his hand and asked Ruoxue to follow him to the east row of houses, where there were two doors that were not locked, he walked close and pushed the door open and took a few steps back to stand still, "Miss, please inside." ”

Peony went in and looked at it, and asked someone to take a basin to fetch water to wipe it.

Liu Daxiong was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you ask the eldest lady to go to the front hall for tea?" It's a bit unbearable here! He said. ”

Ruoxue said: "It's okay, I have something to say to Wei Youde." ”

Liu Daxiong hurriedly called a small maid to fetch water, "There is no little maid here, please forgive me!" She said.

Ruoxue smiled slightly and said that it was okay, and turned her head to see Wei Youde standing far away, not following, "You come here." She said.

Wei Youde was answering Fang Jin's words, and when he heard him called, he hurriedly went to Fang Jin to confess his guilt and walked over.

The rain, which had stopped for a moment, began to fall like a mist again, and it was as soft as a flying veil, caressing people's cheeks.

Ruoxue asked Fang Jin and Liu Daxiong to go to the front hall after explaining the matter clearly.

Seeing that they didn't need to stay here, they turned and went back to the front.

Peony and Qiaolian went into the house and wiped the table and chairs, Ruoxue stepped into the room and sat down on the paulownia chair next to the table, and asked Wei Youde to put down the wooden box, "Before the things in this are sold, they can't be shown to outsiders, even if they are sold, they can't be said when they are known, and when everyone knows about them, there is no need to hide and choke." She said.

Seeing what she said solemnly, Wei Youde hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain knows the severity, please rest assured!" ”

Ruoxue bowed her head and asked Peony to pour out the building blocks in the box, and took out a drawing from the box, on which were all kinds of small houses put together.

After a while, Ruoxue's subordinates worked nimbly, and they put together two different small houses in front of him, with two dolls standing next to them and one puppet in the small house.

Wei Youde looked at the small house on the table in amazement, with doors and windows, and two small dolls, which were so delicate and meticulous, although they were not ingenious, they were not elegant!

To whom is it to be sold to the inner court? Young Master, Miss? I have to sell it at a high price! He looked at the little pieces again, they were all made of wood, how much silver could they sell for?!

"It's called a block, what do you think of this?" Ruoxue asked.

"It's a novelty! It should be something that children will love. Wei Youde said with feeling.

"Yes, I just want you to sell these blocks to the inner houses of large families. Can you do it? Ruoxue looked at him and said with a solemn expression.

Wei Youde bowed slightly and said, "Please rest assured, the villain will live up to your promotion, and he will definitely do a good job of the things you handed over to the villain." He paused and asked cautiously, "I wonder how much you want to sell this block?" ”

"The initial price is eighty-eight taels of silver per box."

Wei Youde gasped, he peeked at the house made of wooden blocks again, how can he see that such a small wooden block is not worth five taels of silver, but it will be sold for eighty-eight taels of silver, which is still the initial price.

That's a huge profit!

Wei Youde just thought about it, but he didn't dare to say it.

"The villain wrote it down." He said.

Ruoxue stood up and left the room to Wei Youde, "You have a good time here for half a day, and then go home and get ready, there will be a boat to the capital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can go with you." She said.

Wei Youde bowed down and said "yes", watching Ruoxue go out with the maid, and he didn't know who closed the door.

Ruoxue met Deng Hu again here, handed him the drawings of the checkers board, and asked him to divide the chessboard for two carpenter masters to make checkers. She doesn't plan to make the chess pieces into wood, she wants to find someone to make the checkers pieces out of gems of various colors.

Ruohong once told her that the checkers were mostly spherical, glass-made beads, and that there were no glass products in their time, only gemstones, jade, or wood to make those checkers pieces.

Deng Hu glanced at the drawing, which looked like a hexagonal box, with countless round holes on it, and six blank triangles on the side, and a few requirements written in the blank space next to it.

The other is a hexagonal lid with the word "lid" written in quills next to it.

Ruoxue told him to cut out all the round holes, as well as the triangle on the side where the chess pieces are placed, "This is very similar to an octagonal food box, and you can use a wooden board with a thickness of an inch." She said.

Deng Hu also felt that it looked like an octagonal food box, and he carefully folded the drawings and put them in his arms, "I don't know how many such boxes you want!" He said.

He didn't know what it was for, and the eldest lady didn't say that he didn't ask, as long as he did the errand that the eldest lady gave him.

Ruoxue walked back and forth twice, and said, "Let's do it first, I don't know the quantity, and I will send it to the house once a month after I make it." She thought for a moment and then said, "The carving on the lid, you let them look at the carving, just have a good meaning." I only look at the final product. ”

"The little one is written down." He said.

Ruoxue told him a few more words and let him go.

Wei Youde looked at the empty house, walked over to the table and sat down on a chair, and began to take a closer look at the small wooden pieces and the drawing.

I don't know how long it took for Wei Youde to retract his gaze from the building block, raised his head and looked at the dim room, "It's dark!" He muttered.

He raised his hand and rubbed his face, quickly and carefully received all the building blocks into the box, closed the lid on it, and walked towards the door with the box in his arms.

As soon as the door opened, Wei Youde was startled, and there were four guards in strong suits standing with umbrellas on both sides of the door, and the new ink-colored clothes looked majestic.

"Hello Wei Touer!" Several people shouted in unison.

This shout made Wei Youde tremble.

What the hell is Wei Tou'er!

He remembered that the eldest lady asked Fang Qiye for a few guards for him, this was his guard, right?

Wei Youde stabilized his mind and walked out.

It was already dark outside, and the lanterns under the eaves were lit, and the dim light on the ground was not very bright.

"Has the eldest lady returned?"

"I've been back a long time ago."

Wei Youde saw Fang Jin again at the front gate, and stood under the eaves with him and talked for a while, only to know that Ruoxue had lunch here before going back.

Wei Youde and Fang Jin said goodbye and took the four guards to find a restaurant to eat first.

He was locked in the house and didn't even eat lunch, and he felt a little hungry at this time.

Big fish and big meat asked for a table, Wei Youdeqian asked a few people to sit down, "Do you drink a few brothers?" He said.

The four of them looked at each other and said, "The brothers will follow Wei Tou'er in the future, and everything will be up to you." ”
