Rui Xue chuckled, "So what, at most Heli will kick you out, anyway, the yard is mine." ”

"Not allowed!" Zhao Fengnian grabbed Rui Xue's hand and was slightly annoyed, "In the future, you are not allowed to mention the word peace and leave!" ”

"I'm just kidding!"

"No jokes!" Zhao Fengnian didn't know whether he was drunk or uncomfortable, so he pulled Ruixue into his arms, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers on her body, and his heart was much calmer, "I went to the city to find some students and famous old gentlemen in the past few days, and I was going to hold a poetry meeting on the bank of the Peishui River. ”

The more Rui Xue listened, the more she was amazed and surprised, this person deserves the name of a daughter, and he is really proficient in business, these strategies are put in modern times, that is, boutique packaging, and publicity, she has not come up with the person who has been the director of the factory, he is a twenty-year-old ancient man who actually plays through, how can this not make her admire?

This is a good idea, if the literati approve it first, it will be easier for the people in the city to accept it, and then a few good poems will be circulated, and then it will be easy for other cities to promote it. However, the literati are high, if they directly reward the money, I am afraid that they will have some resistance in their hearts, so it is better to change it to the four treasures of the study. ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "I was negligent in this matter, so I will exchange the reward for an object." ”

"Shopkeeper, how much silver are you going to spend to buy the four treasures of the study?"

"One hundred taels."

Rui Xue frowned, really a little reluctant, rolled her eyes, and asked, "At that time, the poems participating in the selection will not limit the origin or age of the scholars, right?" ”

"Naturally not, the more people, the better." Zhao Fengnian guessed what she had in mind again, and asked, "What, what's wrong?" ”

"There's nothing wrong, it's just that I feel sorry for the money, why don't we take this lottery back from ourselves?"

"Take it back?" Zhao Fengnian was puzzled, "How can you take back the lottery that has been awarded?" ”

"Shopkeeper, I have a poem here, listen to it. Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and if the fire is burned, if you are idle, you are not afraid of broken bones, and you must leave your innocence in the world. If this original recitation of limestone is changed and becomes a recitation of tofu, can it win the first place in the poetry meeting? The more Rui Xue thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, his excited head slammed, his hair rubbed on Zhao Fengnian's face, he couldn't help but be a little distracted, if Rui Xue put on a man's clothes and appeared so at the poetry meeting, reciting such a good poem that must be recited all over the world, I am afraid that it will be coveted by many men, he suddenly felt irritable in his heart, and his voice was also high, "No!" ”

Rui Xue waited for a long time, and was startled when she heard his response, and then thought that Zhao Fengnian didn't like her being so stingy, so she stuck out her tongue and smiled, "No, no, I'm also confused, how come the richer the family, the more stingy it is." ”

Zhao Fengnian heard this and knew that she had misunderstood, so he said, "I mean, you can't play in person, I will find someone to do this." Spending the least and getting the most bang for your buck is the man's creed, and I don't think you're stingy. ”

"Really?" Ruixue was a little unconvinced.

Zhao Fengnian reached out and patted her back gently, "Really." ”

"Great," Rui Xue kissed him on the cheek excitedly, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, let me tell you, when you go to the calligraphy and painting shop, you can tell the boss that the four treasures of the study you bought are used as a reward for the poetry club, and when the time comes, you will preach a few words for his shop, and the boss will definitely let the price be 20%, and then return the object, it is estimated that it will be done after only paying ten taels of silver." ”

Zhao Fengnian's face was hot as if it was about to catch fire, especially the small area that was touched by Rui Xuexiang's soft lips, like a fire, gradually ignited the whole body to be hot@hot. He moved uneasily, trying to calm down his beating heart, pulled his arm out, and pretended to yawn a long time, "Don't worry, I'll arrange this, you remember to think about a few dishes." ”

"I'm good at the dishes, and I make sure that they will eat deliciously and lose their tongues when the time comes." Rui Xue was full of confidence, and her mind was full of various dishes she had made before, "Six dishes, or eight dishes?" If you want dim sum or something, you have to tell me in advance, I'm not familiar with the banquet arrangements here. ”

"Hmm," Zhao Fengnian replied softly, Rui Xue thought he was tired and sleepy today, so he didn't say more, and the couple each had their own thoughts and gradually fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, four or five days have passed, everything in the city has been arranged, Zhao Fengnian no longer often enters the city, and the yard at home has come to an end, Ruixue has prepared the silver money early, and paid the plastering master and the carpenter master, and also rewarded several junior apprentices with five hundred yuan each, in order to thank them for their hard work these days, the junior apprentices are so happy that they almost jumped up, their masters are not harsh, and they will definitely be divided into one or two percent of the wages, plus these rewards are also a lot of money.

Li Zheng got the ten taels of silver sent by Zhang Dahe, so he happily invited the masters directly, and began to continue to repair the ancestral hall with the villagers.

The Zhao family was busy cleaning up the new yard, and they had to make tofu every day, and even the Zhang family, the Qian family, the Gao family, and even the Yun family, whose two sons were sent out, couldn't help.

If these things are bought, they will also cost more than three taels of silver, mixed with some steamed steamed buns with grain noodles, and add a few pieces of meat to the stew, although it is not as rich as the Zhao family's banquet, but it is also extremely rare, enough to eat until the repair is completed, the ten taels of silver are only used to buy materials and pay for the wages is more than enough, Li Zheng and several clan elders are naturally overjoyed, and even said that the Zhao family is reasonable and kind, and the villagers are also impressed in their eyes.

The new residence of the Zhao family covers an area of more than four acres (the number of acres in Wuguo is a small acre, about two hundred and twenty square meters), the blue brick wall, the red lacquered columns, the brown door inlaid with iron rivets, the carved exquisite gatehouse, hung a plaque of Nanmu, engraved with Zhao Fengnian's handwritten handwriting "Zhao Mansion" two words, the pen is thick and powerful, people can't help but have a trace of respect at first sight, enter the gate, is a small welcome living room, facing a shadow wall, carved Aoxue Hanmei map, the right side is the carriage and horse shed, On the left is a large stove room with a small door.

Bypassing the shadow wall, it is the real courtyard that enters the courtyard, that is, the tofu workshop in the future, the big house in the east wing, there are two plates of stone mills with a diameter of three feet on the right side, and the shallow pool is made of bluestone, and several sets of wooden utensils of different shapes are placed on the pool, and there are grooves on the edge of the pool, when the tofu is pressed, the excess water will flow out from here and drip into the large wooden barrel below. Above the beam on the left side of the house is hung with an iron cable with a few square gauze bags, used to press the bean dregs, the vertical position below is the two large stoves, the half-person high pot table, inlaid with a large iron pot of twenty-four thousand, just squeezed the soybean milk and then directly boiled, point the brain, the upper board is pressed into shape, it is very convenient.

The west wing room is the warehouse, and the ground is covered with thick grass and wood ash, and then the wooden square is put on the bag containing cow beans, which is both moisture-proof and moisture-proof.

As soon as I entered the main room, the east house, which was originally used for miscellaneous items, was changed into an account room, with bookshelves set up on the wall, a few old books of Zhao Fengnian, a wide pine desk, and a high-backed chair, which looked very imposing. The hall was changed into a living room, with new tables and chairs, calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls, stilts were set up in the corners, and a few branches that had just grown new leaves were inserted in the celadon vase. And the inner room of the West House, where Zhao Fengnian and Rui Xue lived for a few months, was rebuilt outside under Zhao Fengnian's explanation, but the house was not changed at all, so that he could take a nap when he was tired of settling accounts or reading on weekdays.

The stove room next to the east room was changed into two transepts, and some tables and chairs were placed, and it was a resting place for male and female workers in the future.

After turning the moon gate behind the ear room, it is the second courtyard.

Wu Yu occupied the north room in the west wing, and the south room was left empty for future guests. The north room of the east wing has made a small warehouse, with a few large wooden boxes to store some gifts and small objects that cannot be used temporarily, while the south room is also a guest room, with a large kang and complete tables, chairs and utensils.

The main room is naturally Rui Xue's husband and wife, the east house opens the door alone, it is Rui Xue's specially set aside bathing place, there is a warm wall in the house and the big stove in the stove room next door, in winter, both boil water to bathe, and warm the house, there is a small door on one side leading to the hall, after taking a bath, you don't even have to go out of the house to go directly back to the inner room, this is also Rui Xue for Zhao Feng to be young and cold, racking his brains to come up with a solution, several mud masters said yes.

In the hall, there is a table of eight immortals and high-backed chairs facing the door, and behind it is a four-fan screen with a view, although the wooden frame and embroidery are not very good, but they are also elegant.

The west house is the living room of two people, and there is a small screen around the door, which is a small cubicle, with a few delicately carved boxes and basic books on the Bogu shelf, and a table and chair next to the shelf, and there are four treasures of the study on the table and chair. There is a Luohan couch under the south window, there are a few tea sets on the couch, I want to come to the afternoon when the weather is clear, lean here to read and drink tea, it must be leisurely and comfortable.

The two carved doors next to the Bogu shelf are opened again to the inner room, I don't know if it was that night and slept in separate beds that annoyed Zhao Fengnian, this time he resolutely did not ask for a wooden bed, only laid a fire kang, and it was only six feet wide, even if the two of them were angry again, they could touch each other when they stretched out their hands.

Rui Xue naturally understood his thoughts, and secretly snickered sweetly.

There is a corner gate on the east side of the courtyard, and it is empty when you enter it, only the two private schools in the corner are very conspicuous, and half of the open space in the south is opened into a vegetable garden by the diligent Zhang Dahe and Qian Heitan.

Rui Xue originally planned to plant two flower beds in front of the private school and transplant a few shrubs, but Zhao Fengnian did not allow it, straight, he had an arrangement, and Rui Xue was just that.
