Chapter 158: People's hearts are unpredictable, and Yue'er is relieved
Laneige had been trying her medicine for more than a month, and every day she would be blindfolded in her room to take her pulse, and she could feel that it was not a woman's hand, but she had never seen who it was.
Yue'er quietly asked Su Zhi in the backyard: "Did you find this Laneige, or did someone send it back?" β
Su Zhi smiled mysteriously, but diverted the topic: "Daughter-in-law, the fields are almost finished, and there will be wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains in a few days, so let's go into the mountains then, right?" β
Yue'er knew that he didn't want to say it, so she chatted with him about entering the mountain.
The yard for the pot was built first, so that someone could be found to build all the equipment needed to burn the pot.
When the two of them passed, Sister-in-law Wang came over to help cook again, and Yue'er stepped forward to greet her: "Sister-in-law, isn't there someone cooking here, you are so tired to help so much at home." β
Sister-in-law Wang was sweating profusely while she was busy and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can be busy." β
Su Tong also smiled: "Sister-in-law, there are many rice fields at home this year, I plan to build a few more rooms there after I am busy here, and then you and your eldest brother will go over there to take care of it, and then hire a few long-term workers to help take care of the fields, but it may be tiring." β
Sister-in-law Wang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and when she raised her head, she was a little flustered, and asked, "Master, but I didn't do well?" β
Su Zhi suddenly laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you and your eldest brother have done so well, you don't know how important the rice over there is to us." That's why I let you go with my eldest brother, how can you rest assured that this job is handed over to others. β
Sister-in-law Wang is an honest person, and when she heard this, she was relieved, and immediately reassured: "Don't worry, master, we will definitely be optimistic about the paddy field." β
Yue'er told her a few more things about the family, and the two went back.
At night, Su Zhi discussed with Yue'er: "I plan to build the livestock shed on the side of the paddy field, where the grass is thicker and easier to feed, let the pillar go over to be a steward, and hire a few more people for him." β
Yue'er looked at him and asked, "Are you worried about their family?" β
Su Tong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Where, it's just cultivation, daughter-in-law, you think too much." β
Yue'er gave him a blank look: "Don't always hide your heart with me, I know that the act of testing the medicine on the day of Layue makes you suspicious, and I don't think it's necessary." She is a country child, but she is just a woman's mind, wanting to go to a high place, and it just happens to have such an opportunity as us. β
Su Tong was about to say something, but Yue'er reached out to cover her mouth, and continued: "I'm not a stupid child when I was three years old, I know that you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. So, I agree with your precautions, they won't be taken advantage of intentionally, but it's hard to say if they are unintentional. β
After saying that, he took his hand off Su Zhi's lips, but as soon as he moved, he was grabbed and put back and kissed, and heard him say: "Daughter-in-law, I will save a lot of thought about you like this, and I am not afraid that you will be used." β
Yue'er glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "I'm so naΓ―ve, I've been through so much and still don't know people's hearts, isn't it hopeless?" β
Su Zhi nodded with a smile, gave her a praising look, and then said, "I'm cleaning up your side so that people in the future can come in." β
Yue'er was puzzled: "Brother Wang's family is not at ease, but why are you never on guard at night?" β
Su Tong was talking nonsense again, but the back of the head was slapped heavily by Yue'er, and then he stopped laughing.
However, he was still scolded: "It's getting cheaper and cheaper, and I have to hit twice to tell the truth." β
But this time, I didn't tell the truth even after two beatings, and I didn't even say anything, and I pretended to be aggrieved when I hit it. If you don't hide or fight back, you're pretending to be aggrieved.
More than 20 people in his family were building houses, but after all, they were not professional masons, so in the end, they hired more than a dozen people, and they still came to live there.
More than a month later, the main courtyard of the new house was completed, and even the courtyard where I bought Zhang's second house was demolished and ready to be rebuilt. This place is the width of eighteen houses from east to west, and it is also very long from north to south, because this is the last row of houses in the village, and the vegetable garden in front and back is originally large, and most of Su Zhi used it to build houses, and the vegetable garden was moved to his own fireworks field.
Yue'er sighed, if this is to enclose all the fireworks grounds, it will catch up with the Yanwang Mansion at that time. This is actually an exaggeration, the Yanwang Mansion was built when the Qin Emperor's concubine was favored, and the scale was the highest among the kings.
In this way, Su Zhi became the big landlord of Beishan Village, and there were more people in need of this family.
Layue is still by Yue'er's side, but there are still four girls by her side at this time. These four girls are all from poor families, either sold by the family in order to marry their son's daughter-in-law, or they were sold without food, and some of them were sold by their brothers and sisters-in-law when their parents died, in short, they are all hard-working people.
The first one to buy was called Cuixi, and Yue'er felt that this name was auspicious and didn't change it for her. The later ones are called Cuiyu, Cuiyan and Cuiwei.
A few girls are very ingenious, and they took care of Yue'er's side in an orderly manner within a few days of coming.
At this time, Yue'er was practicing calligraphy, and she saw a round-faced girl come in lightly with refreshments, put it on Yue'er's desk and stood aside.
Yue'er put down her pen with a smile, looked back at her and said, "Yuan, uh, Cuixi, do you know how to ride a horse?" β
Cui Xi blinked her big ignorant eyes, shook her head and said, "Madam, Cui Xi won't." β
Yue'er nodded thoughtfully, and Cui Xi asked, "Didn't Madam write it?" β
"I don't write it, I've written more today than before, and I'm a little tired."
Cui Xi hurriedly went out and brought in the basin of water, and waited for Yue'er to clean her hands and sent out the basin and continued to wait here.
Yue'er used some refreshments and said, "I don't know what Layue is doing to adapt, let's go, let's see her." β
After the two went out, they saw Layue in the east wing, and they were discussing the recipes of the masters at noon with the cook.
Seeing Yue'er coming, she hurriedly saluted: "Madam"
Yue'er stepped forward and helped her, then asked with a smile: "After my sister-in-law left, this burden fell on you, can you still adapt?" β
Layue replied with a decent smile: "Mrs. Xie is sympathetic, Layue will do a good job and will not worry Madame." β
Yue'er took her hand and said gently: "Sister-in-law is busy over there now, and I can't see her anymore, so when you're done here, go see her with me." β
Layue didn't dare to pull out the hand held by Yue'er, but she hurriedly blessed her body, said a few words respectfully, and Yue'er let her be busy.
The fourteen-year-old girl actually took care of the front and back of this yard very clearly, and she was in charge of the family's accounts, and she never made a penny mistake.
Yue'er also teaches the children to read and write every day, but the time has been changed to the evening, and everyone is busy with their own business during the day.
The kung fu of getting up early has never been left behind, and he has long since moved from Zama to the basic moves.
