097 I see pity
It's really strange, how could ginger dates appear here?
Exactly, why did she come here again? She is still wearing the same thin set of clothes, could it be because Zeng Miaoya entered the city with her today, and she is embarrassed to be alone with Zhang Jiayong?
In the end, Qu Xiaoqi still didn't come forward to ask, since she wanted to be here, let her watch it here, and she couldn't say that she was old enough to meddle with other people's affairs.
What's more, this Jiang Zao is so afraid of herself, she can't rush to scare her.
"This girl comes every day, and I don't know who she's coming to see." He Zhong saw that Qu Xiaoqi's gaze was on Jiang Zao, so he opened his mouth to explain.
Coming every day? Why didn't I see it before?
This is even more strange, Qu Xiaoqi glanced at Jiang Zao, and finally didn't come forward to talk, and left directly with Kong Yunji and He Zhong.
As everyone knows, after they left, these people started talking.
"Who is that man that the master brought back?"
Someone spoke, and someone immediately chimed in, "Yes, I haven't seen it before, doesn't it mean that the main family is not married?" That's what everyone in the village said. ”
After a few words, the foreman said with a dark face: "Hurry up and work, if today's progress is not as fast as yesterday, don't drink the wine at night!" What are you talking about the Lord's house? ”
"Isn't this a concern, we haven't married ...... yet" When he said this, he was glared at by the foreman, and he had no choice but to continue working.
This house is estimated to be completed in ten days, and then they want to see Qu Xiaoqi again, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
During this time, he was just talking to Qu Xiaoqi, and no one saw Qu Xiaoqi get close to any man, and he didn't seem to be interested in them at all.
They also tried their best to inquire about He Zhong, but unfortunately they didn't get any news in the end.
I think He Zhong is similar to them in all aspects, but he is a little tougher and can endure hardships.
Qu Xiaoqi can't look down on such a person, so what kind of person does Qu Xiaoqi like?
The foreman looked at the few bachelors in the team, and was speechless for a while, he had never encountered this situation before.
Even if they build houses for rich families, some of them are all above the top, and they don't look down on them at all.
A gentle and down-to-earth woman like Qu Xiaoqi is indeed rare, and it seems that she is quite good at making money.
The people in the village would more or less talk to them about Qu Xiaoqi, both positive and negative, which also made him respect this woman.
After all, it is a bit fantastical to make money to build such a big house by yourself.
At first, there were people who came to chew on the root of their tongues, and after being scared by the bachelors in the team, they no longer dared to run over.
After that, the people who came back said some good things, and they also listened to their left ears and their right ears, after all, they worked all day long, how could they have time to chat with the villagers?
Not to mention, this place was originally quite deserted, but there was not even a path to here, and these days they came to build a house, and they really made a road here.
If it weren't for the fact that the house built by Qu Xiaoqi was too big, there should have been other people living with him, otherwise he would have persuaded Qu Xiaoqi to build a house elsewhere.
After all, it is indeed quite dangerous for a girl to live in such a remote place.
Let's talk about Qu Xiaoqi's side first, when He Zhong knew that he was dragged over to cut down the tree, his face immediately didn't look good, this was a very tiring job.
The small tree is fine, if it is thicker, this tree will have to be cut for a long time, which is time-consuming, laborious and troublesome.
"How much silver a day?"
"Five hundred copper coins for a tree, and one tael of silver for a thick tree."
"No." He Zhong turned around and was about to leave, but his actions were a little fake, and seeing that Qu Xiaoqi didn't open his mouth to stop him, he had no choice but to turn around and say, "Rise a little." ”
Qu Xiaoqi looked at Kong Yunji and asked, "How much copper does a bed sell?" ”
"Usually a bed is two hundred copper coins." Kong Yunji replied respectfully.
"How many beds can that tree make?"
"Here, there is more than one thin one, and two or three thick ones are fine."
Qu Xiaoqi nodded, and then looked at He Zhong, meaning that five hundred copper coins were cheap for him.
The corners of He Zhong's mouth twitched twice, and he looked at Kong Yunji with some suspicion, this bed is really two hundred copper coins? That's too cheap, right?
However, Kong Yunji's 'upright' face really couldn't see anything wrong.
Cutting down trees is indeed a laborious matter, and Qu Xiaoqi stayed here for a long time before leaving.
Things were too busy here, she didn't pay attention to Liu Shengshu's matter, and Zeng Miaoya didn't mention it again.
During this time, I could see that she was buried in the book, as if she was remembering something, the book was not made of paper, it was a bamboo slip composed of bamboo strips, which is quite rare here.
However, looking at Zeng Miaoya's sad expression, Qu Xiaoqi wanted to laugh for a while, and asked, "But are there any words you don't know?" ”
Zeng Miaoya shook her head and said, "It's that the place where the bamboo slips are placed is too damp, and it was knocked by insects, and I can't tell what the original words are." There's a lot of moss growing on it, and I should have received it earlier, it's my grandmother's inheritance. ”
Seeing that Zeng Miaoya's expression was a little annoyed, Qu Xiaoqi was also emotional, moss or something, but the bite was too bad.
These words are all engraved, what is there to bite about this thing, it will be bitten like this.
"Wash this place first, then cover it with your rouge gouache and see if you can make out what the words are." This is also the last resort, Qu Xiaoqi knows in his heart that traditional Chinese characters themselves are cumbersome, and if they are bitten like this, I am afraid that they will not be recognized.
The two of them tossed for a while, and Qu Xiaoqi comforted: "Fortunately, most of them are intact, only this one is the most seriously bitten, maybe it's because of the relationship at the bottom." ”
Zeng Miaoya's eyes were a little red, and she was extremely reluctant to give up on these things, and said in a low voice: "I will definitely get this part back, grandma has an apprentice, I ...... I want to go out and get this legacy back. ”
“……”
As soon as Zeng Miaoya's words came out, Qu Xiaoqi really didn't know how to answer for a while.
If it is said that Zeng Miaoya is not safe to go out by herself at a young age, Zeng Miaoya has traveled alone several times before, and this excuse is not convincing at all.
forcibly let her stay, she is for her own inheritance, and as far as Kong Yunji attaches so much importance to inheritance, she has no way to influence Zeng Miaoya's thoughts.
If Zeng Miaoya is let out like this, this is even more impossible, after all, Zeng Miaoya is still so young this year, not to mention the sinister rivers and lakes, if there is any accident when she goes out, she will not feel good in her heart.
Zeng Miaoya also seemed to feel that her words were too abrupt, and she was already very grateful that Qu Xiaoqi was able to adopt her. If she can't help, if she makes any more trouble for Qu Xiaoqi, won't she become the person who is not as good as the ungrateful pig and dog?
"The apprentice who wants to come to grandma is not a good person, otherwise he would have come to find grandma a long time ago. I won't look for it, the rest of the things are enough for me to learn for a long time. ”
Qu Xiaoqi rubbed Zeng Miaoya's head, this little girl has always been so sensible, and said in a low voice: "After two years, when you are older, my sister will take you out to travel, maybe you will meet those apprentices of your grandmother in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Okay."
Qu Xiaoqi sighed again about Zeng Miaoya's sensibility and left.
The next few days passed quickly, and Aunt Caifeng can now hum two small songs when she does work, and the whole person is full of energy, and everyone is smiling.
Even when she saw the old woman scolding the street at the door, she could smile and say hello.
This situation has been going on for several days, and the reason for her current situation is naturally that Zhang Jiayong is now a child.
As soon as the news came down from Tong Sheng's side, the people who took the Xiucai exam over there also returned to their hometowns.
Obviously, these people have been stumbled into a different look, all of them have pale faces, and their bodies, which originally looked thin, are now a little weak.
At that time, Qu Xiaoqi and Qu Zhongshan took a look, this person was strong and did not lose his temper, but his body was obviously very shaky when he walked.
Sometimes Qu Xiaoqi is a little envious of Qu Zhongshan's appearance, and after this morbid beauty, I really feel sorry for me.
This kind of white-faced scholar will definitely become a popular little fresh meat in modern times.
Qu Zhongshan didn't take Qu Xiaoqi in his eyes at all, and snorted coldly when he saw her, but Qu Xiaoqi didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
She was afraid that as soon as she made a move, she would push the person to it, and this person would take the opportunity to touch the porcelain and blackmail her money.
Of course, this is just Qu Xiaoqi's own malicious speculation, and it is unknown whether it is consistent with reality.
The progress of the house here is almost complete, but there is no progress on the furniture side.
I've been busy cutting down trees these days, and these trees have piled up a lot at Aunt Caifeng's house, and I don't have tools.
You can't rashly go away for a set of tools, where are the tools used by carpenters to be sold, Kong Yunji, a person who lives in the mountains and forests all the year round, naturally doesn't know.
Qu Xiaoqi has never cared about carpenters, so naturally he doesn't know.
So they unanimously decided that they would go to visit Qin Lao now and go with the wood.
This time, because he had to carry wood, and because he didn't accept gifts before, Ji Xiaoxiao had been reluctant to take care of herself, so she asked He Zhong to drive with Kong Yunji.
There was a lot of dust along the way, and I didn't see that person during this time, so naturally no one stopped the car.
It's just that after arriving in the city, trouble came.
The alley is too deep for this wood to move into, so how is this good?
The carriage stopped at the intersection of the road, Qu Xiaoqi thought for a moment, then showed a sly smile, and said, "You will move the wood to Qin's house one by one, what Qin Lao asks and says, you don't answer, you know?" I'm going to buy some food and drinks now, although we are now low-profile to make peace, and we can't let him overestimate himself too much. ”
