The two heard it for a while, and Aunt Mei sent Erniu out to take a look, knowing that the people in the village were just talking and paving the way for them, so they collectively put down their hearts.

"They don't dare!" Second Uncle Mei stood in the room with a smile on his face, one hand on his waist, and the other pointed at the side of the gate, "They dare to talk about it, and in the end, they have to build a road for me?" Although it is the money from the eldest sister-in-law, but the money, our Mei family also has a share, we paid the money, why do you want me to work? They don't dare not build roads for me! ”

Er Niu also followed the example of Second Uncle Mei, pretending to be five or six, pointing outside and saying, "They don't dare!" ”

Second Aunt Mei and Mei Yindi turned their faces to the side at the same time, lazily looking at the way Second Uncle Mei looked at this time, ah, people are really afraid of you? Aunt Mei is okay, she is used to the frustration of Mei Er's father, Mei Yindi is different, she is disgusted by the ugly appearance of the Mei family's men who are inpatient and will only bear in front of the woman, as expected, the future of the big cow and the second cow will also be their father's virtue.

Among the fathers she has seen, Lin is indeed the best, she has never seen him quarrel with others, and she has never seen him eat and scold Aunt Chunhua, on the contrary, Aunt Chunhua often yells at him, not only is he not angry, but also smiles and persuades Aunt Chunhua not to get angry, and Lin does never beat and scold children.

Mei Tang looked down on Lin Cheng very much, and naturally he looked down on Mei Laosuo even more. He felt that Lin was so filthy that this man wanted Chunhua to climb on the head of a mother-in-law, and he couldn't control his own mother-in-law or something, which made people look down on him.

Mei Yindi felt that it was not like this, who in the village looked down on Lin Zhen? Especially now Lin is indeed the big boss of the workshop, compared to Lin Cheng, Li is all in the back row. Therefore, Mei Yindi Jue, if she wants others to look at her, she will have money, and she has a lot of money.

She originally thought that Wang Xiaonian's family in Xiaowangzhuang was rich enough, but compared with Sister Qiu's family and the Jiang family, she realized that Wang Xiaonian's family was not rich. Does Wang Xiaonian's family have the money to give her a decent three gold and three silver as a dowry? Did Wang Xiaonian's family pay for the whole village to repair the stone road? Therefore, if you want to compete for more than Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun, you must find a husband who is richer than Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun! Mei Yindi firmly believes that her own idea is correct, but the problem is that she doesn't know a richer person than Sister Zhiqiu, not only does she not recognize it, but she is afraid that the entire Mei family will not be able to find a person who knows a rich person.

The important purpose of this trip is to buy a house, and leave it for them to use in the future. And it was the big boss of Wang Ming's shop who led them to the provincial capital of Luzhou, and because he often went to Luzhou to contact the idea, he was more familiar with Luzhou.

Jia's is not alone at home, Anzi introduced his neighbor's aunt to take care of Jia's, surnamed He, just past the year of scolding, scolding is the saying in the area of Jiujiang, which means that it refers to four 15 years old, but Sister Qiu can't figure out why people taboo four 15 years old. Aunt He has served her daughter-in-law and confinement when she is pregnant, and she loves to be clean and can cook.

Sister Qiu gave Aunt He ten salaries a day, including food, in addition to taking care of Jia's family and cooking, she only needed to clean the house. Life is easy and not tired, serving the wife of the official who is Wen Nong is good at talking, and earns a lot of money, plus it is introduced by Anzi, Aunt He takes care of Jia's very carefully, and Li Ailian and Aunt Chunhua often go to see Jia's, Jia's good feelings, even vomiting is very rare, and a few people are not worried about Jia's when they go out.

Several people took the car to drive on the road and walked for nearly a day to Luzhou, starting from Jiujiang before dawn, and the sun had set when arriving in Luzhou, the word "Luzhou" on the city wall of Gao Jian was extraordinarily dazzling in the afterglow of the sunset.

Sister Qiu figured out that if there was a high-speed rail, it would be two hours from Huyang to Luzhou, and there would be no need to hurt all the bumps in the car.

When a few people entered Luzhou, it was already late, and some vendors on the street were closing their stalls, while some vendors had just begun to set up stalls.

"The night market in Luzhou is famous." Boss Lu smiled and introduced them to them, "After we settle down in the inn later, you can come out for a stroll and taste the snacks here!" ”

Da Yin, Xiao Xu and Sister Qiu were happy first, and they were all foodies, and they were happy when they heard that there was something delicious.

A few people first bought Luzhou's donkey meat for fire, and then ordered a few special Lu meat noodles at the noodle stall. Looking at the gravy poured on the noodles brought up, there was a piece of star anise, Sister Qiu sighed gloomily that it was a provincial city, and it seemed that the people here had already learned to use big ingredients to cook vegetables.

"Delicious!" The big seal and the small preface were very happy.

Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu are ladies, so they are naturally much more reserved.

After filling their stomachs, a few people began to browse the night market slowly. Yan Yuanwai was the first to notice the similar thing in the night market, which was black and slippery like a mahjong piece of paper in the wooden box, and couldn't help but ask in a new way: "What is this?" ”

The trafficker was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he immediately enthusiastically preached in dialect: "This is an authentic donkey skin Ejiao, from my hometown of Azhou. This thing is good for women, especially women who want to give birth to children, replenish blood and qi and stabilize the baby, so good! You smell it, it's authentic! ”

As soon as he heard that it was good for pregnant women, Yan Yuanwai immediately moved his mind, and after bargaining, he bought two boxes of Ejiao at the price of one or two silver coins.

"A box for your mother." Yan Yuanwai said to Sister Qiu with a little bad thoughts, "The rest of your aunt and a few of them will eat." ”

Sister Qiu gloomily despises her father, what a big deal, and she is ashamed!

The next day, a tooth boy who had been contacted by the road boss came over, this tooth boy was specially responsible for the sale of houses, and the road boss had also asked him to buy a house before, and he was regarded as an acquaintance.

Yayu took them very quickly to see a few houses that were being sold, because the boss of the road was an acquaintance, and he also knew that Sister Qiu's gang was sincere in buying a house in his palm, and they had to ask him to rent it out after buying, so they didn't blow the house to the sky like usual, but told them truthfully

Advantages and disadvantages of the house.

Sister Qiu and the others followed Yayu for a day, and their tired feet were all sore, and they didn't decide where to set up a house. After dinner in the evening, everyone went to Yan Yuanwai to discuss with Lin Qu's pavilion, and finally Sister Qiu, who paid the money, asked for a set of three-entry mansions. The mansion has a history of about 20 years, it is not new or old, although there are a few trees in the courtyard, it is not big, and it is not cheap to ask for money, but the most important thing is that this mansion is quiet, and it is close to the provincial school administration department of the examiner, whether it is to live alone or rent out, it is very convenient.

Under the maneuvering of the tooth, the landlord has made a slight step in the price. Coupled with the deed tax to the Yamen transfer, this mansion cost Sister Qiu a total of nearly 800 taels of silver, although she had to feel heartache for so much money in an instant, but after careful calculation, it is still cost-effective, the rent alone can be collected 30 taels of silver per year, and according to Yayu, this price is definitely for rent, do not worry about the problem of empty houses, if Sister Qiu is not free to come to the provincial capital, he will deduct his own tooth fee and then the boss of the road will give it to Sister Qiu.

"You can give me a good student to read, especially Xiaoxu!" Sister Qiu said with a smile, "But you can't ask me to live in this house." ”

I don't know what others think, Lin Zhun Hengzhi swore to earn Sister Qiu the name of a wife, so as to live up to Sister Qiu's heart for him.

Sister Qiu and the others didn't delay in Luzhou for too long, and in the end, Yan Yuanwai and Lin were all busy with their respective work. On the way to leave, Xiao Xu looked up at Sister Qiu and said, "How do I feel, Luzhou is not as good as Huyang?" ”

"I feel the same way, or Huyang is more lively." The Great Seal also helps.

The boss of the road laughed, "It's really compared to it, although Huyang is not a provincial capital, but it is indeed more lively and prosperous than Luzhou, all relying on Huyang Dazhuang River, there is a wharf, there is only one river next to Luzhou, and the river is narrow, not connected with the Dazhuang River, can not run merchant ships, only land can go." ”

When Sister Qiu returned to Xiaohe Town, the construction of Shibaner Road had already ended, and the entire Xiaohe Town seemed to have a new look, and there were smooth and atmospheric Shibaner roads everywhere.

Lin Cheng also started to buy a vacant land in the village, and said with a smile that he would start construction the next year and build a new house for Lin Zhun and Sister Qiu.

At the suggestion of Sister Qiu, the uncle and lady in the village formed a team with the little daughter-in-law, and every ten days they went back to the gutter to pick mushrooms and fungus, and the children could also fish and shrimp in the small river.

Throughout the spring, the town of Little River is shrouded in a burst of life, with almost everyone with a smile on their face and full of hope for the future life.

Naturally, the Mei family is very unhappy in their hearts, Mei Yindi wants to join the team, and go down to the gutter to collect fungi to make money, but she also refused, the big guys are not stupid, and many people still hate the fact that the Mei family played scoundrels and didn't work when they paved the stone slab road, but Mei Yindi was ruthless, and she secretly wiped her tears in the nest at night, vowing to get ahead, and she wanted these people who looked down on her to regret!

Sister Qiu rested at home for two days, and the Wang family's car came to pick her up and take her to Huyang. On the road out of Jiujiang Town, it happened that Aunt Mei took Mei Yindi to the town to catch up with the market, and looked at the angry car, and the two stopped by the road, showing a look of envy.

"Yo, it's the car of the Wang family in Huyang!" A man on the side of the road looked at the sign of the Wang family on the car.

Second Aunt Mei hurriedly asked, "What is the origin of the Wang family in Huyang?" Very powerful? ”

The man gave a thumbs up, "The whole Huyang is the first part!" Even the prefect looked at the Wang family's eyes, and the entire Wang family's property was told to scare you to death! ”

"Where is that powerful?" Second Aunt Mei crooked her mouth in disbelief, "Blow it!" In her eyes, the official is the grandfather, no matter how rich the Wang family is, can the prefect bow his head? Coax whom!

The man shook his head contemptuously, "You country lady, tell you that you don't understand, I have helped people in Huyang, and our master has several shops, which is rich enough, but he saw the young master of the Wang family all nodded his head!" ”

After speaking, the man walked away with his hands behind his back, looking like a very knowledgeable man from outside the world.

Second Aunt Mei didn't believe it very much, and dragged Mei Yindi to continue to move forward, but Mei Yindi's heart was rolling, she believed that money could make ghosts grind, as long as the Wang family was rich and powerful, how could the prefect not listen to the Wang family? However, she thought about it again, compared to the condescending Wang family, what is Sister Qiu's small shop and small workshop! Thinking about it this way, she was depressed for several days in a row, and finally her mood was much better.

Sister Qiu sat in the car but didn't look at Aunt Mei and Mei Yindi, even if she looked out, in the speeding car, the two were nothing more than two vague backs in a flash.

When she arrived in Huyang, the sun had already risen, and after teaching the two dishes, Wang Ming's personal friend Ding came over to tell Wang Ming a few words, Wang Ming thought about it, and then smiled at Sister Qiu and said: "Mei Niangzi, a group of delicate customers are here in the water tofu workshop, they heard that you are also here, they are very interested in you, and they want to meet you." ”

"Delicate? What a coquette? Sister Qiu paused.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "It is a few ladies of our Wang family, and a few ladies of the official family." My little sister is also here, you can rest assured, she will take care of you. Sister Qiu nodded and sighed softly, fortunately it was Miss Qianjin. As soon as she heard the word Jiaoke, she instantly thought that it was Du Shi Niang, Huo Xiaoyu......

However, if she thinks about it again, Sister Qiu feels that she is thinking too much, Wang Ming is the eldest son from a famous family, not to mention his arrogance and self-esteem, he is also polite to others, and he has always been polite to her, how can he ask her to meet a group of "coquettish" people with special professions? I'm afraid that with Wang Ming's humble appearance and arrogant temper, he won't let that woman enter the door of the water tofu shop at all.

"I ...... I hadn't dealt with them before. Sister Qiu hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, "You also know, I am a country girl, if there is any place to be rude...... Wang Ming was polite to her, she didn't want Wang Ming to be difficult, if she sinned against those daughters, I was afraid that Wang Ming's face would be too

It's not pretty.

Wang Ming smiled and shook his hand, "My little sister Dezhi is here, don't worry, don't panic, they also heard that these dishes are all you came up with, and they just want to meet you." ”

"That's fine." Sister Qiu nodded happily, since Wang Ming had said everything like this, she would go back.

The private room of the ladies is on the second floor of the water tofu shop, and there are two young people wearing the uniforms of the water tofu shop and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady standing by the door.

The family that led Sister Qiu over to the lady who led her to a thousand children, and said with a smile: "Sister Hongyi, this is the Mei lady that the ladies want to see, and I brought it to you." ”

It seems that all the people standing by the door are maids who serve the daughters, Sister Qiu thought to herself, and when the red puff looked at her, Sister Qiu smiled slightly and nodded at her.

After the red puff fell, she probably didn't expect that Sister Qiu, a little country lady, would behave so down-and-out and generous, so she hurriedly smiled at Sister Qiu and said to Sister Qiu: "Mrs. Mei, our young lady is the little sister of Young Master Wang Ming, come in with me." ”

After knocking on the door, the red puff pushed the door open, and the soft laughter of the girls came, and in the way of the door was a screen woven of thin silk, through the shadowy screen, and only a few figures could be vaguely seen sitting behind the screen.

Hongfei asked Sister Qiu to wait behind the screen, and she went over first to preach: "Lady, Lady Mei is here." ”

"Please come over to Mrs. Mei." A crisp female voice said with a smile.
