Chapter 10 Negotiate the house

Rice paper is very expensive, three pieces cost a penny, which is equal to a vegetarian bun, Zhao Jijiao has never used a brush, and she doesn't want to waste the paper in Li Ruchang's study, so she asked Li Ruchang to write the names of the two of them on paper, she ran to the yard, picked up a branch, and practiced on the ground. At this time, there was no calligraphy, either wild grass or positive letters, and most of the literate women wrote hairpins. This is bitter Zhao Jijiao, I have to write out the words very formally, and there are a lot of strokes in traditional Chinese, and it takes several minutes to finish writing a word.

After Zhao Jijiao wrote the names of the two of them, she was not interested, it was better to embroider her flowers, and she could sell them for money after embroidery. With money, she can buy whatever she wants, and she buys hundreds of rice paper or something, which she uses as toilet paper, hahaha......

The more Zhao Jijiao thought about it, the deeper the smile on her face became.

After Zhao Jijiao finished embroidering four pairs of embroideries, it was already the next night.

"Wow, Xianggong, look, the embroidery is finally finished."

Cutting the embroidery needle, Zhao Jijiao took the first three pairs to Li Ruchang's face, and Li Ruchang lit the lamp in the study these two nights, reading in the study, what kind of book Zhao Jijiao didn't know, because she couldn't understand what the title of the book was, she had never seen it.

"My little lady is really amazing, and the embroidery is the same as the real thing. However, the husband is very curious, what kind of embroidery method is this for the lady, why hasn't the husband seen it? ”

This question was wanted to be asked by Li Ruchang when he first met, and he waited for Zhao Jijiao to speak first, but he waited until now.

"This is called Shu embroidery, the needle method is divided into 12 categories, a total of 122 kinds: with a halo needle, paving needle, rolling needle, truncating needle, doping needle, cover needle, cutting needle, pull needle, sand needle, Shantou needle, etc., pay attention to 'neat stitches, bright threads, tight and soft, car screwed to home'......"

Zhao Jijiao talked about Shu embroidery roughly, her face was full of pride, and she completely forgot the embarrassed appearance when she was studying with her grandmother. The ten fingers that were pricked by the needle were bleeding nonstop, and he hated needles and threads several times.

"My little lady is really amazing, since the embroidery has been completed, is she going to the town tomorrow?"

Li held Zhao Jijiao to his lap as usual, and spoke in her ear, and the breath he exhaled made Zhao Jijiao itch.

"Well, let's go to the cloth shop I went to last time tomorrow, I should be able to buy it at a good price."

Zhao Jijiao thought about how much her embroidery could be sold for.

"Ordinary embroidery, most of them are about ten cents, and it depends on the quality of the fabric, only the embroidery is very good, embroidered a piece of work can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver."

Li Ruchang seems to be very aware of this aspect.

"Wow, then my pair can at least sell for a few dozen taels, so how about we build a new house then?"

Zhao Jijiao thought that even if one pair could only be sold for thirty taels, four pairs would have one hundred and twenty taels, you know, the richest village chief's family in the village could only earn a few taels of silver a year, and when the year was bad, they could only have one or two or even a few hundred dollars. And Zhao Jijiao only spent two days of hard work, embroidered four pairs of flowers, and could earn one hundred and twenty taels, which was like picking up money on the ground.

"Your cloth is just an ordinary silk cloth, and it is estimated that a pair can only be sold for a hundred taels."

What Li Ruchang didn't say was that in this small place, one hundred taels was already the price of the sky, after all, no matter how rich the staff here, the family property was only a few dozen acres of fertile land, and the money did not exceed 10,000 taels of silver.

"One hundred taels! Oops, really? Then I have four pairs, that's not four hundred taels! Haven't I just become a rich woman? ”

Zhao Jijiao seemed to have seen the silver of the white flower beckoning to her. Four hundred taels, it should be enough to build a blue brick house. Buy some more fields, hahaha, thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Jijiao's mouth turned up uncontrollably.

"Xianggong, is it enough to build a tiled house?"

"You want to build a house?"

Li Ruchang didn't expect Zhao Jijiao to make money, and the first thing he did was to change his house. Li Ruchang looked up at the house he had built, it was a little simple, it was no problem to shelter from the wind and rain, but compared with the Nawa house, it was still not enough to see.

"It depends on how big you build, if you get a three-in, it is estimated that it will cost seven or eight hundred taels."

As the name suggests, the three-entry house has three courtyards, each of which has a main house, a wing room, a lower room, and even a rain corridor. The three courtyards are set together to be called the Sanjin courtyard, and when viewed from the top down, it is in the shape of a "me". The middle is the courtyard, where some flowers and trees will be planted, and a water tank will be placed in the middle. Generally, the gate faces south, the east and west sides are wings, and the middle is the main house. It covers an area of about 900 square meters, which is one and a half acres when converted into acres.

Of course, if you want to build a bigger one, you can also build a bigger one, even if there is more silver.

"Sanjin? It's just the two of us, it seems to be a bit big, just get one in, anyway, we don't have any relatives...... Xianggong, you don't have any relatives, right? ”

When Zhao Jijiao said this, she couldn't help but ask Li Ruchang, lest she suddenly run out of a mother-in-law or something in the future, and she was caught off guard.

"My father and mother are all driving west, as for other relatives who have not been in contact for a long time, I only have a lady now, don't leave me alone."

Li Ruchang's sudden affectionate appearance frightened Zhao Jiji.

"No...... No, don't be afraid, I'll be with you in the future! ”

Zhao Jijiao hugged Li Ruchang, as if she was comforting a lost child, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart, just such a simple sentence entered Li Ruchang's heart.

"This is what the lady said, if one day you abandon me, I will definitely break your limbs and build a palace for you, and from then on, you will never escape from my palm."

Li Ruchang obviously said that it was quite terrifying, but when it entered Zhao Jijiao's ears, it changed its taste, is this the filter in love?

"Okay, but if you betray me, I won't do anything to you, I'll just hide far away, so that you can't find me again!"

Zhao Jijiao raised her head and looked at Li as usual.

"You must know that although I was bought by you, it can be regarded as the main room, and since there is already me, no other women are allowed to get close from now on. I'm a very careful person, my things are not allowed to be touched by others, no matter how much I like them, if others touch them, I just throw them away and will not ask for them again, I say so, do you understand? ”

"Turns out I bought a small vinegar jar! Hahaha......"

Listening to Zhao Jijiao's words, Li Ruchang was not only not surprised, but laughed, which surprised Zhao Jichang.

"Don't laugh, if you hear it, laugh again...... If you laugh again, I'll bite you! ”

As she spoke, Zhao Jijiao bit Li Ruchang's laughing mouth, and the two looked at each other like this, and the temperature in the room gradually rose.

"I ...... I went to sleep first. ”

Zhao Jijiao felt the changes under her, she was not a real thirteen-year-old child, she naturally knew what it was, jumped off Li Ruchang's thigh, and left the study as if she were running away, leaving Li Ruchang alone, he needed to be calm and calm at the moment.
