When Childe heard the praise, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Girl, if you say beauty, you are more worthy of this word than me." ”

Wearing new clothes for the New Year, Lin Xia is dressed very elegantly today, the moon white rattan pattern brocade top, the lotus blue cloud yarn is depicting the long skirt, only a few dark flowers are embroidered with silver silk on the skirt, the long skirt is swaying between walking, layer upon layer, and the silk threads in the staggered refraction of the brilliance and shine, vaguely low-key luxury; On the head of the wearing of a plain silver hairpin, earlobes of a pair of silver pendants, there is nothing else, and the plain face to the sky, a trace of rouge is not pointed, but it is beautiful.

I don't know which official woman Lin Xia is.

Although she was dazzled by these peach blossom eyes, Lin Xia was still sober and knew that she was a married woman, so she smiled and said, "Son, I am already married, don't call me a girl anymore." ”

Childe was slightly disappointed, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

Lin Xia nodded, and didn't want to stay in this place with this boy for too long, so as not to show others what to say, so he apologized and left quickly. Lin Xia didn't take this matter to heart at all, nor did he mention it to Lei Biao, and he had a vegetarian meal in the temple with Lei Biao before slowly descending the mountain.

The New Year passed quickly, and it was spring in a blink of an eye, and the business of stringing incense gradually stabilized, but Lei Biao and Lin Xia went to the tooth line and spent a lot of money to buy a double-storey store in a prime location that they had fancied but did not have money to buy, and when Qian Dong and others knew about it, they were surprised for a long time, and they didn't expect the boss and the proprietress to open a new store so soon.

However, what surprised them was not only that, Lei Biao and Lin Xia bought a homestead in Lizheng, built a workshop, and wantonly purchased rice in Qinghou County, which was continuously transported into the workshop.

At the same time, after the busy spring, Lei Biao and Lin Xia hired people who built a house last time to dig a lotus pond in the backyard of the house, and a pavilion should be built in the center of the lotus pond, and then around the house, as well as fruit forests and vegetable gardens, etc., they should be surrounded by walls, and even block the road up the mountain, and plant a few big trees and bamboo forests.

All of a sudden, it caused a lot of heated discussions in the village.

"This Lei Biao's little couple has been moving so much recently, I'm afraid they've made a fortune!" A villager said with envy on his face.

"That is, they opened a string of incense in the county, I also went to eat it not long ago, the business is very good, I guess this has also made a lot of money." The villager next to him said as a matter of course.

"This Lei Biao and his wife are now different from us, and they are the bosses, but they are not our countrymen." Another villager said sourly.

Others dare not speak out, everyone knows these things.

On the side of Old Man Lin's house, there was a lot of commotion in the village, and the Du family naturally heard about it, and his heart was sour, so he rarely took the Zhao family to their house as a guest.

Said to be a guest, but didn't bring any gifts in his hand.

But Lin Xia was still in a happy mood to take Du Shi into the door, at this moment her family is very crowded, and also invited Aunt Guo and Aunt Zhang to help cook tea, entertain workshop builders, dig ponds, build pavilions, plant trees workers, but this time the project is huge, more than 70 people were invited, and two more cooks from the next village were invited to help.

It's rare to be lively at home, especially in the backyard, where the sound of men chatting and noisy can be heard from time to time.

Du Shi looked at Lin Xia with a dark face, this time he asked the worker Lin Xia to ask Lei Biao to go to the house one by one, but he did not call the old man Lin's house, and even the cooking was not her and Zhao's share. "What are you two doing?"

Zhao looked at Lin Xia sourly, "Little sister is getting rich, and she doesn't help her family." ”

Lin Xia didn't bother to pay attention to these two people, and said with a smile: "Mother, I am already a married daughter, and I have spilled the water, although I was conceived and born in October by my mother, but my father and mother don't like women and only love my brother and brother, and they don't love me much, so they sold me to Lei Biao for fifty taels of silver, you can be content." Fortunately, I married a good husband and made some money in business, mother, you haven't forgotten that I am your daughter at this time. ”

Du Shi blushed at what Lin Xia said, but his tone was still stiff, "Is it true that what you came out of my stomach is fake, if you don't help your family, I will sue you to the government and say that you are not filial to your parents!" ”

"Mother, follow the father at home, marry the husband, and die from the son, I believe you also understand." Lin Xia had already studied the laws here, and found that although this ancient era was an empty era, many customs and so on were still somewhat similar to ancient China, and the married woman was already her husband's family and had nothing to do with her mother's family, so Du wanted to sue Lin Xia with filial piety, which was obviously unrealistic, because she Lin Xia was not a man.

"You!" Du Shi was tickled by Lin Xiaqi's teeth, "Just let me give birth to you dead girl in vain!" Throwing down the words, Du Shi left in a huff.

Finally not being suppressed by Old Man Lin's family, Lin Xia's mood was better, she couldn't wait to break off with that group of people, although Lin Chengzu's younger brother still liked it.

Lei Biao and Lin Xia gave enough money, the tea and food were satisfactory to everyone, and the big guys worked quickly, the original plan was to take twenty days, but they handed over the work in eighteen days, Lin Xia happily sent everyone a bag of snacks bought in the county, which was regarded as a reward for everyone.

Lin Xia looked at the lotus pond that had been dug with satisfaction, and had already placed a few koi fish in it and planted lotus flowers. A wooden bridge was built to lead to the pavilion in the center of the pool, and there was a round table and wooden chair in the middle of the pavilion, where you could sit in the summer, eat fruits and melon seeds, enjoy the flowers and feed the fish, and this day was very pleasant.

The road leading to the mountain was also fenced by Lin Xia, forming a partition, Lin Xia opened two doors on this road, and the front door was hung with a plaque, and the plaque was named "Yalinju" by Lin Xia named Lei Biao, and the back door was the road leading to the mountain.

This is spring, the vegetable garden is time to sow seeds, and the fruit forest also needs people to take care of it, Lei Biao and Lin Xia can't take care of such a big Yalinju, so they went to the tooth shop in Qinghou County to buy people.

Seeing that Lei Biao and Lin Xia were regular customers, Yazi immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and called a few rows of people for them to choose from.

Lin Xia has a black line on her head, she is still very unaccustomed to picking people like picking goods, but now she has to do this, in case she picks a personal character or has a physical problem, it will be troublesome.

After looking around, Lin Xia took a fancy to a couple under the age of forty, the clothes on their bodies were very shabby, and there were patches, but both of them were very clean, and they were amiable, which made people look very comfortable. I asked carefully, the man's name is Uncle Fu, he is healthy, his hands and feet are very sharp, he can farm and raise poultry; The woman's name is Aunt Fu, and she can cook, wash clothes, sew and mend it.

Lei Biao chose a man and a woman, each twenty years old, the male is called Jixiang, who can farm, raise poultry and drive; The woman's name is Cuiyu, and she used to be a fruit farmer at home, so she could just take care of the fruit forest in Yalinju. The two of them were from the same village, and there was a big flood in the village, which drowned many people, and their families were among them, so they sold themselves and went to Qinghou County.

Lin Xia nodded with satisfaction, and was about to tell Yazi that he wanted these four people, when he suddenly saw a very familiar face in the crowd, and followed Lei Biao next to him and said, "Why is that woman so familiar?" ”

Lei Biao followed Lin Xia's gaze, squinted his eyes lightly, and finally confirmed, "It's the girl's mother." ”

Lin Xia was a little surprised, and ordered the person to come out with Yazi, only to see that Yazi was a little embarrassed and said: "This woman also has a female doll, so ......"

"It's fine." Lin Xia replied.

When the girl's mother walked out, she was a little surprised when she saw Lei Biao and Lin Xia. After asking about the situation, Lin Xia learned that the girl's mother was called Chen Liuer, her husband owed a lot of gambling debts because of his addiction to gambling, and later committed suicide by jumping into the river in order to escape the debt, and the gambling debts left behind were repaid by the two of them, Chen Liuer sold the real estate jewelry at home or was not enough, so she usually washed clothes to pay off the debt, and the new clothes that the girl wore on Chinese New Year's Eve was to help the big family wash clothes to see her pity and reward her, and also rewarded five cents, she spent two cents to buy a rock sugar gourd for the girl. Helplessly, the debt rolled over more and more, Chen Liuer really couldn't pay it back, so she had no choice but to sell herself in the tooth shop.

Lin Xia likes girls a lot, but she has no choice but to have a gambling father who drags them down.

"I want all five of them, and that girl doll." Lin Xia said to Yazi.

Five people plus a little girl, a total of fifty-three taels of silver, all signed death deeds.

On the way back, Lei Biao and Lin Xia bought quilts, clothes and other items for the six people, and then took a carriage and returned to Yalinju together.

When the carriage drove into Yalinju, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that the place where they would live in the future would be so beautiful, and the girl looked at it all the time, obviously very excited.

The corners of Lin Xia's lips raised a smile slightly, and introduced them to them: "Your house is over there, in the first room lives Qian Dong, who is the shopkeeper of the incense, and in the second room lives a guy named Zheng Lu." Jixiang, you and Zheng Lu live in the same room, and if any of you get married, you can live in a house alone. Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, you live in the third room, Cuiyu lives in the fourth room, and Liu'er and the girl live in the fifth room. ”

When they went to the dormitory in Lin Xia's mouth, everyone was stunned again, exactly the same as the expressions of Qian Dong and Zheng Lu when they first came here.

Lin Xia then roughly talked about the distribution of Yalinju, and after arranging things for everyone, he said about the welfare: "You are here to eat and live, temporarily fifty yuan per month, money and gifts will be given during the New Year's holidays and when the farm is busy, you will have three meals by yourself, the kitchen is next to the dormitory, and a bag of flour, a bag of rice and ten catties of meat will be issued every month, you can eat as much as you want, as for the vegetable garden, you can pick it yourself, take care of yourself!" ”
