Chapter 52 Building a House
The villagers knew that the Ling family and the Chu family were building houses at the same time, and even demolished the walls, so they rushed over to take a look at them curiously.
All kinds of gossip spread.
Of course, it's not that the Chu family and the Ling family have any gossip. But Chu Yuqin earned so much silver in a short period of time, which caused many people to be red, and there were various versions of rumors.
It's not that Chu Dashan and his wife didn't hear it, but Chu Yuqin didn't take it to heart, they were a little depressed when they saw that their daughter was so calm, and they didn't care about those things anymore.
"Everyone, let's drink some mung bean syrup."
"Thank you, Miss Chu. Miss Chu is really beautiful and kind-hearted. ”
"Yes! We've worked for so many owners, and no one has ever cared about our bodies. ”
"Thank you." Yu's served sugar water for everyone.
Sugar was a very precious thing in ancient times. This time, Chu Jiatang boiled mung bean soup for them, and the craftsmen were grateful.
"It's so sweet!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Yu, Miss Chu."
Chu Dashan took the sugar water handed by the Yu clan.
Gollum! Drink it in one gulp.
The sugar water is iced with well water, and it is very comfortable to drink.
"Did you send it next door?" Chu Dashan wiped his sweat.
"Hong'er sent it over."
Chu Lihong sent the sugar water to the next door.
"Master."
First offered a bowl to Ling Shengyi.
A teacher for one day, a father for life.
For these readers, the teacher is not inferior to the existence of the parents.
Ling Shengyi drank elegantly.
He didn't like sweets. took the sugar water handed by Chu Lihong, and he didn't want him to lose face. But after tasting it, I drank the whole bowl.
"Thank you."
Old man Zheng drove back in a carriage.
jumped out of the car and said to Chu Lihong, "Boy Hong, call your father over to help." ”
Chu Lihong ran over first and asked, "Uncle Zheng, what's wrong?" ”
"Childe told me to buy some meat and vegetables. At noon, I will have to trouble Miss Chu with some effort. Old man Zheng said.
"Miss Chu is just a weak woman, where did she cook so many people's food? The craftsman's food will be made for you. If one person is busy, find a few people from the village to help. In other words, find a few women directly from the village to cook. ”
Old Man Zheng didn't expect Ling Shengyi to have such an arrangement. thought that Ling Shengyi appreciated Chu Yuqin's craftsmanship and would let her cook.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ling Shengyi's thoughts are understandable. No matter how capable Chu Yuqin is, she is just a weak little girl. It's okay to only cook for a few people, it's too tiring to cook for dozens of people.
"The old slave didn't want to be lazy, he just thought that Miss Chu's craftsmanship was better. It's the old slave who can't think about it. Everyone's food should be handed over to the old slave! ”
"Let's find a few people! You're old. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Old man Zheng's eyes were red.
These days, Ling Shengyi has always maintained an elegant and detached appearance. Although it seemed to be very easy to speak, it made Old Man Zheng feel pressure and crisis.
For the first time, their son-in-law finally had a little human touch.
Although new houses are being built, the students' schoolwork has not stopped.
Ling Shengyi took dozens of students to study in the village. With heaven and earth as the classroom and nature as teaching aids, we give students a unique curriculum.
That batch of goods was not sold, and Chu Yuqin did not make any more creams, but made a batch of perfumes.
There are more than a dozen flavors of the whole batch of perfumes, mint, a single variety of floral notes, botanical aromas, bamboo aromas, and even fruit aromas.
According to her memory, she knew that the lady and lady of the Zheng family preferred the fragrance of flowers. As a result, there are more varieties of floral scents than other types.
"Master Ling, how about trying this taste?"
Ling Shengyi was reading a book. Chu Yuqin suddenly appeared and gave him a small bottle.
He took it with doubts.
When I opened it, there was a faint aroma coming from me.
"It's ......"
"Sandalwood."
"It's a little different from the sandalwood I usually use."
"Yes, the sandalwood I usually use is smoked on clothes, which is directly applied to the wrist, or behind the ears."
"Not bad."
"Sandalwood has the effect of calming the mind and calming the air, which is good for you scholars. If Master Ling likes it, this bottle will be given to you. ”
"Thank you, Miss Chu. But it doesn't work. ”
"We are neighbors and it is right to help each other. Master Ling shouldn't be so clear, right? Otherwise, it will make people lose face. ”
Chu Yuqin waved his hand and walked towards his house.
Ling Shengyi pinched the bottle in the palm of his hand.
"I'm afraid this Chu girl's hand was given by the gods, right?"
"Brother Hua!"
A horse-drawn carriage was parked outside the compound.
Zheng Yuanheng jumped out of the carriage.
"Hey, Brother Hua, you are ...... here"
"Houses are being built. Didn't you say that last time? ”
"Last time, I only heard you say that you bought land and planned to study while growing crops, but I didn't hear that you were going to build a new house. It's so noisy here, it's not good for you to study, why don't you go to my house? ”
"No need. I think it's good. Ling Shengyi said lightly: "How long does Brother Yishu plan to stand there?" ”
"Next door, there's ......," Zheng Yuanheng glanced at curiously. You're still building new houses together? ”
"Hmm."
"It's so close. I don't know and I think it's a family. Zheng Yuanheng said: "You have a good relationship? ”
"Not bad." Ling Shengyi frowned. "Brother Yishu, haven't you seen enough?"
"Oh, come right here." Zheng Yuanheng walked over.
The villagers who passed by looked at the carriage and were shocked.
The Zheng family's carriage was no stranger to them.
In the past, when Chu Yuqin was still a big girl, every time he came back, he was sent back by the Zheng family's carriage. There was a Zheng family on the Zheng family's carriage, and even if they were illiterate, they could recognize the unique mark after a long time.
"Why is someone from the Zheng family here?"
"Don't you want to take Qin girl back?"
"Qin girl is so capable now, it's normal for the Zheng family to hear about it. However, will Qin Yatou go back? She wants what she wants now, and she doesn't have to be someone else's maid. ”
"No matter how capable you are, what can you do? Not yet a servant. Now that the owner has found it, he still has to go back to be a slave obediently. ”
Zheng Yuanheng just wanted to come to see Ling Shengyi on a whim, but he didn't expect it to spread. No one involved him with Ling Shengyi, but said that he came for Chu Yuqin.
"Master Ling." Chu Yuqin walked in with tea. "Zheng Gongzi?"
Ling Shengyi looked at the tea brought by Chu Yuqin and the snacks she prepared, and then glanced at Zheng Yuanheng next to him.
Suddenly a little reluctant.
"Miss Chu is really well-informed, she knew that I was here so quickly. Is this for me? Zheng Yuanheng smiled.
Chu Yuqin heard the meaning of Zheng Yuanheng's words.
As soon as he arrived, she heard the news, which showed that she had been prepared.
This shows that Chu Yuqin's mind is not pure. Whether it was Ling Shengyi or him, otherwise he wouldn't have come so quickly.
"Zheng Gongzi misunderstood. I didn't know you were here. It's just that I think of Master Ling's hard work to study and teach day and night, and my younger brother is an unsuccessful person, so I worry about him a lot. Since Zheng Gongzi is here, the little woman will not be ugly. Such a crude tea, how can it be worthy of the identity of Zheng Gongzi? You talk, I won't bother. ”
