In the bazaar, Chu Yuqin sat in place and waited for the middle-aged woman to arrive.

However, time slowly passed, and as the sun hung high, there were fewer and fewer people rushing to the market, and that person had not yet appeared.

The bamboo tools woven by Chu Dashan were sold to Carpenter Zhang's shop as early as when he came. I made a total of two taels of silver.

Later, Chu Yuqin was responsible for guarding the stall here, and Chu Dashan and his wife took Chu Yulan to buy things that were not available at home. When they returned, Chu Yuqin was surrounded by many people.

I thought Chu Yuqin's business was as good as usual. But when the crowd dispersed, there was not a single bottle of food on the stall. After asking, I found out that she had been waiting for the middle-aged woman.

"Big girl, I don't think that person will come, so let's just sell these goods! It's also good to be able to sell some. ”

Chu Dashan said.

Chu Yuqin shook his head: "Wait a while, if it hasn't appeared yet, then come back to the market next time." Anyway, I'm going to keep my promise. Maybe the other party can't come because of something. ”

"You didn't answer so many people who asked just now. Speaking of which, in order to abide by the other party's agreement, you have also lost a lot. Even if she comes, she can't blame you. ”

Yu's Road.

"I know."

Chu Yuqin packed his things.

"It's too hot. Don't wait, let's go home! ”

After returning to the village, Old Man Zheng stopped her.

"Miss Chu, the craftsman is already waiting, are you free now?"

Chu Yuqin got down from the ox cart.

"Dad, mother, you go back and pack your things first. I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

"Okay."

Chu Lihong didn't go to the market with them because he had to go to class. He should still be in class next door at this time.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of reading aloud from inside.

Chu Yuqin followed Old Man Zheng in.

There is a wooden table in the courtyard with several wooden piers next to it. A couple of well-dressed middle-aged men sat there drinking tea.

Smelling the fragrance of tea, it is not ordinary tea.

"Master Chen, Master Wang, Master Li, this is the Chu girl next door. The blueprint of the house was drawn by her. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her. ”

When several middle-aged men saw Chu Yuqin, although they were surprised by her youth, they didn't show it.

"Miss Chu, please take a seat."

When Chu Yuqin was talking to a few craftsmen about the requirements of the new house, Old Man Zheng went to pour tea.

"Miss Chu, this idea of yours is simply unprecedented. If it is really done, I am afraid that it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people. It's just that it's your idea, I don't know if I can ...... it."

"I don't mind if you do the same design for someone else. However, I want a commission. For each of you who make a family, I want a commission of ten taels of silver, which is not too much, right? ”

"Not excessively, absolutely not excessively. Then let's sign a paperwork, and the matter is settled. ”

A few people were talking about it, and a cup of tea was handed over.

Chu Yuqin instinctively took it, and raised his head suspiciously when he touched the slender fingers.

Old man Zheng's hand is so ......

"Master Ling."

Ling Shengyi sat down next to him: "What are you talking about?" ”

"I just talked to Miss Chu about the new house. Miss Chu is really a wonderful woman. Some of her thoughts had never been heard before. If it is really done, the life of the people can be better in the future. ”

"Really? Then I'm a little curious. I don't know what kind of whimsy it is that makes the masters so amazing? ”

Facing Ling Shengyi's gaze, Chu Yuqin was a little embarrassed.

"Masters, you've won the prize."

"I believe in the vision of your masters."

So several people discussed the details of the new house.

"Since the two owners have no objections, then we will send someone to start work tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Elder Zheng, send them out."

Old man Zheng sent away a few masters.

Chu Yuqin thought that he had said that he would return the silver at the end of this market, and if he didn't sell anything today, he naturally couldn't sell the silver.

"I'll pay back your money a few days later. The person I had made an appointment with didn't show up today, and if I don't show up at the next market, I'll sell that batch again. ”

"There is no need to rush the matter of silver, when it is convenient to pay it back. But there's one thing that's urgent. ”

Ling Shengyi knocked on the table and looked at the tea set in front of him.

"Since I drank the tea made by Miss Chu, I have always felt that something is missing when I drink something else, even if it is made by myself."

"Isn't that easy?" Chu Yuqin said with a smile: "I'll brew it for you now, and it will be regarded as the interest for the breach of the contract." ”

The sound of reading has not stopped.

The students inside are still self-conscious.

Old man Zheng prepared boiling water and tea utensils.

Chu Yuqin sat in the courtyard and made tea for Ling Shengyi.

The aroma of tea spreads.

Ling Shengyi watched Chu Yuqin's movements with burning eyes.

Such a beautiful woman actually appeared in the countryside, which seemed incompatible with everything here.

What an amazing woman.

"It seems to be more mellow than last time."

"This time I used a little bit of a unique cheat."

Chu Yuqin handed over the tea.

"Give it a try."

Ling Shengyi took a sip.

Suddenly, there seemed to be stars shining in his eyes, which made the whole faint handsome face shine.

"I was wrong just now."

Chu Yuqin was puzzled.

"I said just now that since I drank the tea made by Miss Chu, I always feel that something is missing when I drink anything else, even if it is made by myself. Now I need to correct that. It's like, 'Since I drank the tea you made now, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink any other tea in the future.'" ”

"It turns out that Master Ling also knows how to make girls happy." Chu Yuqin chuckled. "Master Ling can do it if he likes it. Don't bother you, I'll go back. ”

Ling Shengyi returned to the firewood room.

The firewood room is the most spacious place here, so it was vacated for classes.

Sitting above, listening to the sound of students reading aloud, but not quiet.

"Master's ......"

"Huh?" Ling Shengyi came back to his senses.

"Master, we have finished reciting it. Do you want to test us now? ”

"There is a sand table in front of you, just practice calligraphy on the sand table!"

"Yes."

"Each person writes 'man, heaven, heaven,' twenty times each."

Ling Shengyi arranged his homework and returned to his study.

Sit at your desk and look at the white paper in front of you.

Pick up the pen and draw a pair of eyes.

"I'm ......"

Ling Shengyi looked at those eyes and smiled helplessly.

"Too idle lately?"

On the second day, several masters came down with dozens of men to start construction for the two families.

For the sake of fairness, they divide their actions so that the progress of the two families is exactly the same.

"Miss Chu, it's like this. Can you tear down your walls to make it easier to build a house? You see, it's easy for us to act. ”

"The wall was torn down? Isn't that with Master Ling next door, he didn't look up and see him? Yu asked.

"That's right. If you guys mind, forget it. It's just a little bit of trouble anyway. Master Zhang said.

"If Master Ling has no opinion, I have no opinion either. Everyone has worked hard, and it's good to save a little effort. Chu Yuqin generously agreed.

"Okay, then we'll tear down the wall. I asked Master Ling just now, and he said to listen to you. ”
