The affairs of the work team will be handed over to Zhang Jihan to do, and Liu Meiniang is still busy with materials.

I'm afraid I still have to go to Xue Wuyi for help.

The next day, when Zhang Jihan went out to look for the work team, Liu Meiniang called Zhang Jihan.

"Ji Han, wait, you help me bring this to Boss Xue."

Zhang Jihan changed into the new clothes she and Zhang Li made that day, wearing dark blue clothes and pants, and the whole person was heroic. Sure enough, people depend on clothing.

"This is ......." Looking at the paper handed over by Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan didn't know why.

"Please ask Boss Xue for a favor." Liu Meiniang explained.

Xue Wuyi must have a way to contact the materials she needs, and hand them over to Xue Wuyi, Liu Meiniang is also relieved.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan patted his chest and said.

"When you go this time, by the way, ask about the price of the ox cart in the market, we buy a cow ourselves, and it is not convenient to rent someone else's." Liu Meiniang suddenly thought of this.

Especially now that you are building a house, you must need to run to the county seat often, if there is something urgent, it happens that people's ox carts are in use again, and it is not good to delay things.

"Sister-in-law, a cow is too expensive, we ....... now" Now we want to build a house and buy an ox cart, Zhang Jihan thought about it in his heart, as soon as Liu Meiniang earned two hundred taels of silver that day, maybe it was not enough.

"Even if I went to see it, I didn't let you buy it now." Liu Meiniang couldn't help laughing, this kid looked distressed when he mentioned buying things.

"I know sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan said.

When the time comes, just take a look, come back Liu Meiniang didn't ask him and don't say anything, buy the ox cart or talk about it later, if you buy the cow, the money to build the house is spent, and there is no money for the craftsman, and their family will really be scolded by the villagers.

Zhang Jihan drove the ox cart to the county seat, and first went to Caiyi Pavilion to deliver a letter.

"The owner went out in the morning and will come back in a while, or the little boy will sit here for a while."

Then go to the county town to find Uncle Ge's family.

Uncle Ge's three sons were all angry and made a lot of money with their crafts, so the family moved from the village to the city.

"I bother to ask, do you know where Uncle Ge's family lives? It's the famous Uncle Ge who started the house. Zhang Jihan didn't know where Uncle Ge's house was, but when he left, he asked the people in the village, and he knew that it was probably in this area, and he didn't know which family was there.

"Go straight from the front, turn the corner and be the first one." Passers-by pointed to the road ahead.

"Okay, excuse me." Zhang Jihan thanked him and turned around and walked over.

"Is anyone home?" Zhang Jihan followed the instructions of passers-by to a small courtyard with two entrances.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw a gray-haired uncle washing clothes, and a woman next to him crossed his waist and commanded.

Zhang Jihan thought about it again and again and asked.

"Yo, what's the matter with the little boy?" When the woman heard the voice, she saw Zhang Jihan standing at the door, twisting her waist and walking over.

"Hello, I'm looking for Uncle Ge." Zhang Jihan took a step back and distanced himself from the woman. The moment the woman walked over, the smell of fat powder on her body made Zhang Jihan breathless.

Their family, Zhang Li and Zhang Tongtong, never use fat powder, and only have a faint fragrance of soaphorn on their bodies. Zhang Dandan has a faint milky fragrance on her body, and Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan has never seen Liu Meiniang use fat powder, Liu Meiniang seems to have a different fragrance, anyway, it won't make people feel annoying, and even like it very much.

Liu Meiniang really doesn't apply grease powder, in the original owner's room, there are still some rouge gouache left, Liu Meiniang flipped through it, and found that it was all some shoddy things, especially rouge, the lead content in it was too high, and you could smell a lot of smell just by smelling it, Liu Meiniang gave up decisively.

Besides, the original owner's body is only seventeen years old, far from the time to use fat powder, the ancient mountains are good, the water is good, the air is good, Liu Meiniang feels that her skin is already very good, so she will not use those bad cosmetics again.

"What are you looking for Uncle Ge for?" The woman clasped her hands and began to look Zhang Jihan up and down.

"My family is going to have a yard, and I want to ask Uncle Ge for help." Zhang Jihan glanced at the woman and said.

"Then you look for us, Uncle Ge is old, and he can't do it anymore, my husband's family is Uncle Ge's second son, and his craftsmanship is not worse than Uncle Ge." When the woman heard that she was going to start the yard, her eyes lit up.

Zhang Jihan knew that this woman was Uncle Ge's second daughter-in-law.

"It's ....... Isn't Uncle Ge here? Zhang Jihan asked with a frown.

"Oh, where is it, this old immortal can't do anything now, he eats and drinks our family for nothing." The woman pointed to the old man who was over half a hundred years old who was sitting on the ground washing clothes, and the old man was listening to the conversation between the two.

"Hurry up and do the laundry, what are you doing when you stop? If you can't finish washing today, you just wait. When the woman saw Uncle Ge stop, she immediately reprimanded him with a scream.

The woman probably also saw that Zhang Jihan was a child, so she didn't hide her bad attitude towards her father-in-law in front of Zhang Jihan.

"Little brother, it's right to find our family, my husband's craftsmanship is no worse than this bad old man, and the price is absolutely fair." The woman reached out and was about to grab Zhang Jihan's hair, but Zhang Jihan dodged her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I'll go back and discuss it with my family." After Zhang Jihan finished speaking, he didn't look back, and left the Ge family quickly.

It wasn't until he ran a long distance that Zhang Jihan couldn't help but take a sip.

"What people!"

Zhang Jihan is not a fool, how could he not see that Uncle Ge's second daughter-in-law is not a good person.

Zhang Jihan thought about it and turned around and entered an alley.

When he came out in a while, he knew all the things he wanted to know.

It turned out that Uncle Ge's eldest son and second son got home with the help of Uncle Ge with their craftsmanship, and after moving to the city, they began to flutter.

The two of them felt that they were from the city, and they didn't pay much attention to their previous eating skills, and every time someone asked them to work, the two took advantage of Uncle Ge's reputation to take a large amount of money from the master's family, and they didn't give others a good job.

For a long time, few people looked for the two of them. Everyone began to look for Uncle Ge.

The two sons saw that this was not good, so they scrambled to bring Uncle Ge close to the city, Aunt Ge died of illness last winter, and Uncle Ge lived alone in the village and was lonely, so he thought about going into the city to enjoy the blessings, but he didn't expect to be used by his son.

The two sons negotiated to let Uncle Ge live in the two houses, and then they could take over the job in the name of Uncle Ge.

As for Uncle Ge's third son, the one who is a businessman.

Because the eldest son and the second son almost inherited the mantle of Uncle Ge, and the ancient people always looked down on businessmen, even if Uncle Ge's third son made some money from business, Uncle Ge still felt that the third son was not interested, so he always favored the eldest son and the second son.

ignored the third son, and even if the third son had a conscience, even if he wanted to be filial, Uncle Ge refused again and again.

The back and forth chilled the third son's heart, and the third son finally moved to a neighboring county and never came back.

It is said that these three sons seem to send some alimony to Uncle Ge every year, but everyone knows who this alimony will go to in the end.

Uncle Ge's life in the house of his two sons was not good, Zhang Jihan thought that Uncle Ge was scolded by his daughter-in-law for washing clothes, and shook his head helplessly.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and if Uncle Ge knew that the two sons he valued were such a virtue in the end, he should regret not being at the beginning.

Zhang Jihan still plans to go back and tell Liu Meiniang about this matter before making a decision.

If the two craftsmen of the Ge family were like this, they would never be able to be hired.

After inquiring about the news, Zhang Jihan returned to Caiyi Pavilion.

When delivering the letter in the morning, Luluo asked Zhang Jihan to put the ox cart in the backyard of Caiyi Pavilion, so that Zhang Jihan didn't have to go to Uncle Zhang's house with the ox cart anymore, otherwise he would have to go around a big circle.

"Little brother." When Zhang Jihan returned to Caiyi Pavilion, Xue Wuyi was standing on the stairs on the second floor, shaking a folding fan in his hand.

Xue ..... Boss. This is the first time Zhang Jihan has seen Xue Wuyi alone, Liu Meiniang has been there several other times, and Liu Meiniang and Xue Wuyi are talking, he is eating and drinking tea on the side, and today he saw Xue Wuyi alone, Zhang Jihan suddenly felt a little nervous.

"How's that going?" Xue Wuyi walked down the stairs and asked with a smile.

"Well, I'm going back to discuss it with my sister-in-law." The situation of the Ge family is indeed unexpected.

"Miss Liu entrusted me with something, I need time to ask, say hello and find someone to bring you a letter." Xue Wuyi said.

"Then it's troublesome Boss Xue." Zhang Jihan bent over.

"Do you still have a big brother?" Just when Zhang Jihan was about to say goodbye, Xue Wuyi suddenly asked.

"Well, but my eldest brother is no longer here." Zhang Jihan nodded, and his voice suddenly lowered.

"Brother Ling?" Xue Wuyi asked.

"My eldest brother died in battle."

"Condolences." Xue Wuyi patted Zhang Jihan on the shoulder.

"Then Boss Xue, I'll go back first." Zhang Jihan sorted out his thoughts.

"Stay safe on the road." Xue Wuyi said.

"Okay, then it's going to trouble Boss Xue." Zhang Jihan waved his hand and jumped into the ox cart.

Looking at Zhang Jihan's distant back, Xue Wuyi fell into deep thought.

"Are you saying that Uncle Ge's situation is very ...... now," Liu Meiniang said after listening to the news that Zhang Jihan brought back.

"Well, Uncle Ge is not doing well now." Zhang Jihan thought of the mean second daughter-in-law.

Although Uncle Ge is old, but the craftsmanship is still there, if Uncle Ge can be invited to supervise the work, or to help guide, Liu Meiniang thinks that the house should be better built.

Just if you want to invite Uncle Ge, you will definitely be known by Uncle Ge's two sons, in this case, Uncle Ge will not be invited over at that time, but will find two big troubles.

"You said Uncle Ge's youngest son is doing business in a neighboring county?" Liu Meiniang suddenly thought.

"Yes, I also inquired, Uncle Ge's youngest son is in business in a neighboring county and has opened a shop selling rice, and the reputation is not bad." Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jihan appreciatively, this kid is very thoughtful every time.

"Is there any way you can find out about Uncle Ge's youngest son?" Liu Meiniang pondered for a while and then thought of a countermeasure.

Listening to Zhang Jihan say this, among Uncle Ge's three sons, I am afraid that only the eldest and youngest are the most hearted, if Uncle Ge now sees the true face of his eldest son and second son, he should regret it in his heart. But now in such a situation, he definitely doesn't have the face to look for his youngest son again.
